the the, this weekend police fire water candidate angry protest is in central parish. thousands rally nationwide against government plans to make cope with policies mandatory and public places of infection rise. looking back to some of the other big stories we brought you in the we just got a chilling effect on media. freedom in the reaction to draw pretty slow, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose state secrets the devastation in china from what's being called the worth flooding. in a 1000 years, dozens of death infrastructure wiped out
11:01 am
a damage preach to the weather. elsewhere to a great systemic failure, the german government is slammed for not doing more to prevent last week reco flooding despite previous morning. the devastations claimed almost 200 lights and cold damage was billions of europe. ah, either sunday, and i'll tell you, i mean it's going to take you through some of the biggest stories that we've been reporting on here over the past 7 days, because the weekends developments to bring you up to speed on 1st though, i'm starting in france where police in paris, 5 water cannon rallies against plans for mandatory health passes. thousands gathered in the capital to vent their frustrations over coven restrictions the mm
11:02 am
mm mm. we've had figures from the ministry of the interior that said there were a 161000 individuals who decided to stand onto the streets to protest these new restrictions. 11000 of those were here in paris where you saw those tensions with that water cannon being fired at the protest. there's no, so i guess being used. so i just wanna explain a little bit about what the health passes. this is something this already in use has been in you since wednesday. and basically what it means is places like cultural centers and museums at the moment, if they would have 50 individuals inside, then to get inside you have to show you fully vaccinated against cobra. 19, or that you have got a negative p. c all,
11:03 am
and teach and test what the parliament is doing at the moment is looking at the bill that's expected to be passed this weekend, which will extend that restriction. now the minister for labor has also given an interview, stating that not only will those individuals want to access foss, cafe, the restaurants needs this house pass. so to will the workers all those establishment. and if they're not in compliance with that, they could be suspended without pay, they will not be able to remain to avoid having to go straight to dismiss. so we are creating a new procedure for suspending the employment contract without remuneration and ended as soon as the employee comply. so only what people furious about the fact that just a few months ago, present macro and had said that they would be no introduction of an obligatory health pulse. and that's exactly now what's happening. but also they feel that the idea that allure is going to be amended to be able to suspend employees without the
11:04 am
right to any pay has really made them to seize through whole the restroom fits as cinemas these employees can be dismissed. if they do not have a health path, either an anti dentist or both components of the vaccination needed, and the letter of which should have been administered during the week before they took me. this is completely unacceptable. what is happening in france right now is absolutely unbelievable. 2 years ago, we could not have imagined this at the moment. we are in a situation where people want to go to work and they are told if you can't, because you haven't been vaccinated. and this is despite the fact that for many years, we have lived more or less on the principle of freedom, equality and fraternity. and now it's all over the government. so this is what it believe is the way forward, tackles because said pandemic. because phones now, the government says is in the middle of a food wave of that. and it's saying that the need to ramp up the number of facts
11:05 am
nations. we know that health workers will need to be fax, natick by the middle of september. they will work, and again, there are still many people vaccinated people as well. the i spoken to who said that this is about the freedom, the right of individuals to choose what happens to their bodies. violem pushed back elsewhere in europe. 2 against those ongoing coven policies. the in great thousands are opposing a mandatory vaccination program which has been introduced to groups including health workers protested reportedly through petrol bombs during the demonstrators wrangler. that the response plan, despite almost half the population ready being and ultimately this is the british capital, that's also seen a mass demonstration under the slogan, a worldwide rally for freedom. but not everyone shared the same message. scuffles broke out between the campaigners themselves. baltimore,
11:06 am
the protest was held just days off. the major coven restrictions were lifted, that locked up for reporting the fates facing journalists in britain. if a draft law goes through report as i'm the sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jail for up to 14 years. senior correspondent has the story. a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot to argues the british government in this 66 page proposal, which erases the line between investigative journalism whistle. blowing and spies are all the same under the proposed new secret law. although there are differences in the mechanics of and motivations behind espionage and unauthorized disclosure offenses. there are cases where an unauthorized disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. what's more, the legislation seeks to remove without blow protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead it advisors would be
11:07 am
whistleblowers to, to go and talk to their boss if they have a moral issue with something that they're doing rather than reveal it to the public that their government is engaged in something immoral or illegal which raises an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something a moral, like the health secretary in a least video kissing a coworker after he'd obliged millions to abide by his own strict social distancing measures. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them. and that's why i've got to resign. officially, this new beefed up version of the secret. lou has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see,
11:08 am
any journalist who shared this video shared anything that they received from a, with blue, couldn't face a sentence of more than a decade behind bars. due to the new way of defining espionage, including obtaining sensitive information, as well as pass it on journalists, whom are simply working. their stories can potentially face up to 14 years in prison by receiving some secret information. there's much more to it. aside from the harsh sentences and the least in the databases of potential threats, there are special powers that the government wants to give itself the power to punish and restrict individuals, be the journalists or foreign spas. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail them, there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engaging, hostile activity. but we're limited evidence that could be openly used to support criminal prosecution. the civil order could include
11:09 am
a range of restrictive and preventative measures, including measures to prevent an individual associated with certain people or from visiting specified sensitive locations. currently, these proposals are being polished off at the foreign office but could soon be in parliament make no mistake. these, these new secrecy little would give the most orthor, terry, and regimes in the world. a run for their money pass, we feel blowing and investigative journalism as we know within the u. k. dead. this is one of the biggest wide ranging attacks on breaths. freedom, perhaps, since since democracy came to britain, the definitions in the report are very old indeed. in fact with journalism doesn't come up once in the 66 page report itself fundamental to the 56 page report. journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously, the u. s. is prosecuting fe juanita signs on the jack. this secretary of
11:10 am
secretary is backing a consultation document that suggests that journalists that much worse than spies supplies after all, can work for one government or another government or one actor jones. if they publish the material, everyone can see it, journalists have to be done. that is seriously the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in a raising freedoms and rights of the free press here in this country that have been that it created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act reform looks to be. china's largest metropolis is bracing for a powerful typhoon, which is expected to strike the eastern port, city of shanghai within hours. some 360000 people have been evacuated to safety as the storm, a lamb full in the country's se. earlier this sunday. shanghai right now is

11:12 am
turned into rivers. the authorities are ramping up rescue and recovery operations, but many people are still missing. flooding that also claimed 9200 lives in western europe to another. $300.00 people are accounted for him to rental range. that of cause damage estimated at more than 2000000000 euros may well, the opposition in germany is calling to the interior minister to quit. blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the deluge, volunteers have been helping to clear the devastation, but crippled infrastructure, coupled with huge piles of deborah is making it difficult to move around for life to return to anything like a semblance of normality. on the one hand, the politicians in climate experts claimed that the government knew of catastrophic weather conditions and its consequences were coming, but failed to warn citizens. however, officials insist that the worst had areas were alerted either way. sled, many to ask what when so badly wrong? all europe correspondents been finding out is before the floods struck west in
11:13 am
germany. belgium looks in bergen benevolence, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european float awareness system detected problems were on their way for the region. people in our viola, one of the worst effected towns in germany, have been critical of the warnings, or lack thereof that were given or done come to the no one was expecting that the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance would have helped to say some essential belonging was another problem is that many elderly people didn't even understand what was going on. they didn't hear anything about it. and then they're also the foreigners. everything should have been organized better. people should have gone door to door or received a warning by phone. in the history of what happened with the opinions of experts analyzing what happened. today's information. you can just refer to the fact that people were informed by text message. you have to imagine how much information is being dumped on people every day already. but then they say, yes, we sent out messages instead of targeting people on the spot,
11:14 am
and perhaps getting people out of their homes in particular hot places. visiting the scene of utter devastation caused by the flooding and western germany champ langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenge is posed by climate change. chavez, which is the germany, is a country that can overcome this financially. germany is a strong country and we will oppose this force of nature in the short term, but also in the medium and long term care policy that takes nature and climate into accounts more than we have done in recent years. there had been warnings from the weather in 2016 the river far burst its bank, causing damage to bridges and other infrastructure. they were repaired, but nothing was done to protect against future high waters. it's not a secret that streets in bridges and all these dams are not in a good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting till something happens again, 5 years ago we had a duration similar to this one and
11:15 am
a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired it like it's okay for now. and nothing happened till the end. and now the bridge is gone again, this part of germany is no stranger to flooding, which banks the questions. why were the authorities not better prepared for what nature would throw out them this time? and we'll lessons be learned from this tragedy piece, roll of all t and cologne, germany in the week this made the headlines as well. no ways. beach handball team has been fine for not wearing bikini, bottoms in that protest against the sexualization of women in schools. are these poly boys can take a candid look 2021 this summer. oh show. oh, lack thereof. in the case of the norwegian speech handball team, which has been fined 1700 year a for wearing shorts in a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. and while the old all that 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach
