ah, dares thing we dare to ask me ah, this weekend and he's fine water candidate, angry protest as in central paris, thousands ruddy, nationwide against government. looking back to some of the other big stores we brought with, we just got a chilling effect on the media. freedom, the reactions withdraw the british law, which threatened investigative journalist, the prison. if they exposed state sequence, the devastation in china from what's being called the worst flooding in a 1000 years, with dozens of deaths infrastructure wiped out
12:01 pm
a damned bridge. severe weather elsewhere to a grave systemic failure, the german government slammed for not doing more to prevent last week's reco flooding. despite previous morning the devastations claimed almost 200 lights and causes damage with billions of years. ah, i good to have you with us. it's sunday, so that means we're going to run you through some of the biggest stories we've reported on here over the past 7 days. that's ahead 1st, the weekends developments to tell you about paris. police have fire water, canada rallies against plans for mandatory health passes in france. thousands gathered in the capital to vent their frustrations over ongoing coven restrictions . the me
12:02 pm
me the. 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 inside at the protest. no. so i guess being used. so i just wanna explain a little bit about what the health pass says. this is something this all ready in use has been in you since wednesday. and basically, what it means is places like cultural centers and museums at the moment, if there were more than 50 individuals inside, then to get inside you have to show you fully vaccinated against kobe 19,
12:03 pm
or that you have got a negative p. c all and teach in test and 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 minute for labor has also given them into the youth stating that not only will those individuals who want to access fos cafes and restaurants means the health path. so to work is old. so the 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
12:04 pm
right to any pay has really made them to see through whole the resume. it's a cinema. these employees can be dismissed if they do not have a health path, either an anti gen test or both components of the vaccination and needed, and the letter of which should have been administered during the week before. a to 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 from the principal 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 they pandemic, because from now, the government says is in the middle of a way of that. and it's saying that the needs to run something or fax,
12:05 pm
the nation as we know that health workers will need to be fascinated by the middle september. they will be able to 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 pushback elsewhere in europe to against coven policies. the in greece, thousands are opposing amanda crew vaccination program introduced a group including household protective, reportedly for petrol bombs during the demonstrated around great that the research plans, despite almost half the population already being inoculated, this is the british capital, which also sort of math demonstration under the slogan worldwide rally for freedom, but not everyone share the same message and scuffles broke out between the campaigners themselves. what's more,
12:06 pm
the protest was held just days off. the major coven restrictions were lifted, that locked up for reporting the fate facing journalists in britain. if a draft law goes through reporters, unless sources could be treated like spice and publishing government secrets could see them jail for up to 14 years of the senior correspondent have 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 authorize disclosure offenses, there are cases where an authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious incentive intent and or damage. what's more, the legislation seeks to remove without blow protections,
12:07 pm
even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead it advisors would be 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 the government is engaged in something immoral or illegal trays is an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like the health secretary and leaks video kissing a coworker after he obliged millions to abide by his soon 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 secrecy. lou has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see any journalist who
12:08 pm
shared this video shared anything that they received problem with blue, could 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 than 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 spies. 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 were limited evidence that could be openly used to support criminal prosecution
12:09 pm
. the civil order could include a range of restrictive and preventative measures, including measures to prevent an individual associating 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 and make no mistake this, this new secret law would give the most authors area and regimes in the world a run for their money. in the past, we feel blowing and investigative journalism as we know it in the u. k. dead. this is one of the biggest wide ranging attacks on press 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 is that journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously,
12:10 pm
the u. s. is prosecuting fe julian assigned to the the espionage act. this own secretary, secretary is backing a consultation document and suggest 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. so journalists have to be done. that is, is 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 have been created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act before looks to be about the developments right now in china's largest metropolis is bracing for a powerful typhoon, which is expected to strike the east impulse city of shanghai. within hours. some 360000 people have been evacuated to safety as the storm made landfall in the
12:11 pm
country, se earlier this sunday. shanghai right now is experiencing heavy rainfall and strong winds, with hundreds of trees up rooted in some property damaged. all flights have been grounded at the cities to international airports and subway and train services are also suspended. there are similar measures to in several cities near by china right now, of course, currently struggling with the aftermath of record floods, which claim to be the worst. in a 1000 years, dozens have been killed and widespread destruction in central regents. authorities fed that the type food could hinder rescue and recovery efforts ongoing in those affected areas. the news
12:12 pm
was some of that flooding has now receded whole streets. in some cities have been turned into rivers. the authorities are ramping up rescue and recovery operations, but many people are still missing. flooding is also claim nearly $200.00 lives in western europe to another $300.00 people are currently unaccounted for. mid to rental range, that of cause damage estimated, of more than $2000000000.00 euros. meanwhile, the opposition to germany is calling for 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 daybreak, making it difficult to move around and for life to return to any semblance of normality. on the one hand, politicians in climate experts claimed that the government knew of catastrophic weather conditions and its consequences were coming, but fail to warn citizens. however, officials insist the worst harry, as were related. either way, it's led many to ask what went so badly wrong. europe correspondents been finding out is before the floods struck west in germany,
12:13 pm
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 the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance, would have helped to say some essential belongings. 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 history of what happened with the opinions of experts analyze 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 and perhaps getting
12:14 pm
people out of their homes and particularly hard hit places. visiting the scene of utter devastation caused by the flooding and west in germany, count langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenges posed by climate change. quickly, chavez, fortunately, 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 to a 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, our burst, its banks, 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
12:15 pm
a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired it like it's okay for now. and nothing happened till then. 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 will lessons be learned from this tragedy piece roll of all tea and cologne, germany. in the week this made headlines to know ways beach campbell team has been fine for not wearing bikini bottoms in that protest against the sexual sation of women in sport ortiz probably, boy takes a candid look 2021 this summer. oh sure. 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,
12:16 pm
teeny tiny breed. and while the old all that 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach space are obliged to strip down apparently the athlete code and lizzy, a brain has been told to hush, or to short or weaken competition in the k. i. k. and she's been said, no, i didn't consider bad binding, had to 2021 is getting confusing. you got transgender wait, listed at the pick female power limby, and being told to dress more appropriately and female handle has being punished for trying to dress more comfortably. in the case has been the region. the team actually be european handle federation for permission for playing. sure. but the federation said no, they did it anyway. they were last with a fine. i have been given a good reason. they just the telling us the, this is the room, i'm the man,
12:17 pm
get to play like this. the man rules state agree, the swimming chunk like short can finish 10 centimeters above the kneecap, while the women are obliged to have them on display maintenance effect to allied while running around doing strenuous exercise in front of spect cases. i'm being watched on tv. good. this possibly have anything to do with the caliber view is watching the school way. be awesome. because it's always a summer. very good people at the university of alabama actually analyze the beach volleyball at the 2411. they found that 20 percent of the camera shot were tight shot of play is chest while i've been
12:18 pm
teased the scent of that camera operators. some of you, of the research has concluded the visual coverage of the game, confirm that sex and sexuality, we use not only to promote the me, but just tell the school to you is around the world. i love my something tells me that wouldn't be the case if the male players was mankey mean. i'm very different figures shortly. inflation is soaring in the united states, but joe biden says the worried majority of americans being in the pocket by rising prices across that after the break. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation,
12:19 pm
let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the media a reflection of reality. the in the world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation, community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is truth? what is in a world corrupted, you need to this end. the so join us in the depths
12:20 pm
or remain in the shallows, ah, in the hello again with inflation in the us getting a 13 year high people that are rapidly feeling the page. a poll published this week says 88 percent of americans are worried about the disproportionate increase in living costs. president biden though, claims it's just a glitch, and it certainly seems to be having little impact on his spending plans. our experts believe in the data shows that most of the price increases we seen are, were expected, and expected to be temporary. nobody suggestion is unchecked inflation on the way. no series of times. let's check that no one checked inflation claim. now if you have a car, it costs you twice as much to run it as it did last year. your prices have double
12:21 pm
your daily breakfast now comes with an 8 percent price site. as the cost of milk, bacon and fruit have gone up. on top of that, you've got consumer prices that have hit their highest amount since 2008. now, despite the presence assurances, america's working families already being hard hit by the pandemic are starting to feel the pinch. the groceries are definitely up. and also the rents are also going up and just household items, making serious progress to ensure that it works. the way it's supposed to work for the good of the american people, walk instruction material is out of this world, somebody's making some good money, and i think it's just joe biden. we could help families in small businesses, whether the ups and downs or as the economy recovers. i don't buy anything when asked me what the wherever me give it says nowadays i, i truly, truly don't look, we brought this economy back from the brink. now biden refuses to hear those voices, perhaps he'll listen to those within his own party labor market tightness,
12:22 pm
behavior of housing markets, and asked price is all rising in a more concerning way than i worried about a few months ago. this raises my degree of concern at the overheating scenario. there are huge uncertainties, but the focus of concern now should be on overheating. and if that's not enough to change the president's mind on the economy, perhaps this comparison is the wakeup call. he needs the u. s. isn't the very bad position from a long term point of view. i don't see how these can and well, when we're running now, budget deficit. something like 15 percent of g d p. this is beginning to look a little bit like a latin american country printing and spending money like there is no tomorrow, as pretty clearly got people concerned. biden gave the excuse to spend is necessary to tamp down in station, which is ridiculous out of nothing in common. you can't stop the consequences of monetary printing by doing even more monetary printing, which is what it means to spend this level of money. and the fact is that biden,
12:23 pm
and all of his advisors and the political party that he represents, are big spenders, and they want to spend more money. they think that the u. s. government can go into infinite amounts of that. there's no limits whatsoever. they really believe this by nature as us, the problems are just temporary, but perhaps it's a bit like the pandemic and the economic aftermath. it's a bigger problem than was 1st thought. but it seems to be a problem that biden's apparently incapable of recognizing caleb martin r t new york. off the years of contention, the united states has finally ditched its efforts to stop the construction of the old stream to pipeline which is set to double supplies of russian natural gas to germany under the baltic sea. on wednesday, it was announced that washington had managed to eke out a compromise with berlin. separately, the russian presidents in german chancellor, both expressed satisfaction that the project is approaching completion. leaders are satisfied that the construction of the north turn to pipeline is nearly finished.
12:24 pm
the russian president noted germany consisting commitment to the implementation of the project, which is exclusively of a commercial nature and his aimed at bolstering the energy security of germany and the e. u. us german dale pledges vas support for ukraine, which is now because bypassed by the do pipeline camp. they will get $175000000.00 the infrastructure development amberlynn will also seek to ensure that the current gastron's impact between russia and ukraine does remain in price. that provides care with annual fees for allowing russian gas supplies to pass through its territory. the u. s and germany joined statement also contained a strong warning for moscow saying that russia could face punishment if the uses the baltic pipeline for political gains. while the us pledges to no longer stand in the way. some american officials are still upset, concerns with voice once again at a recent senate hearing in washington that the nor stream to pipeline poses a threat to both u. s. and e u. security. you told this committee that you believed to nordstrom to
12:25 pm
pipeline would have disastrous effects on u. s. national security. that it would have disastrous effects on european security by making them subject to economic and energy blackmail from russia, and that it would enrich and power to carry out that blackmail. you continue to believe that i do sen, german economists, we spoke to say america attempts to stop nordstrom to violated basic international legal principles. it didn't, andrew, i get the impression that it's the u. s. diffusing its energy policy to further, it's interesting, i don't think the russia has used his gas as a political tool or weapon and the gas conflict around ukraine boils down to the fact that he was stealing gas and failed to pay bills. i see this agreement on north stream to as a victory for international law since the measures the u. s. is using like the imposition of sanctions, where america itself is not directly concerned,
12:26 pm
are completely unacceptable and thank god, common sense prevailed in the end and the pipeline will be completed. it represents a victory of sense in law rather than that of food like it's been highly critical of the west sanction policy because the west is often imposed sanctions summarily. not bothering to prove why they needed placing them on mere nations such notion that america's national security on the basis of which sanctions are being imposed has no legal definition whatsoever. in the end, we're doing something that's diametrically opposite to the system of values that we prefer to adhere to. his celebrating navy day with nationwide parades mocking the services of 300 and 25th anniversary. one of the biggest celebrations is in the port city of some petersburg. the russian defense minister says it's the largest, the in years president putin address service personnel the earlier this sunday. the event will be rounded off with a fireworks display later this evening will across russia, though $15000.00 mariners to pop with almost $300.00 pieces of military hardwell
12:27 pm
show as well. that you are all corresponding got to look at some of the preparations. we're right in the heart of st. petersburg on the river and we're approaching a worship that. c has become a fixture of this naval parade. it's called corvette story, which can be translated as steadfast or resolute. rushing corvettes or frigging by native classification, are relatively small, but vast warships they're designed to protect coastal waters or other vessels. for instance, stores were sent to the gulf of aidan in 2001, 902 scored immersion ships and make sure that we're not attacked by some all the pirates. truth be told this ships armament is not something laughed at the store, gate and other group out of that last can fight against aircraft submarines and other ships that have are hillary guns. but it's main. and the most for middle
12:28 pm
weapon is right here. it's the launching pad of russia, the latest cruise missiles caliber columbia. was it hard to city worship in here? so you almost well we had to do it during the night. we more the ship in complete darkness. it was quite difficult, but we managed we're on the island of branch that me or saint petersburg and this is where some of the biggest bad thought that i think it hard in the brain are more along them. 3 nuclear power. it's submarines that are going to be on public play for the 1st time. and one of them definitely stand down. why didn't russian ladies nuclear stop? that was commission just the year ago, like the 1st grad world headlines back in april after an operation in the arctic ocean when it surface from under the ice, along with you other stuff. this was the 1st time in the history of the russian and soviet navy. it's such a mission had taken place and we're on deck rocket ship,
12:29 pm
cold deal on adults. and what's interest about this worship is that it took part in an actual military operation in syria, back in 2016 when these crew members were fighting isis. well, this is one of the lower decks of the ship. this is a quarter. this is where the crew members live. as you can see right here, one of the crew members is ironing his uniform, thought that was come for to who does the laundry for the russian navy, a washing machine. and you operated yourself. you do everything by yourself. of course, we do. the annual naval parade in st. petersburg has great symbolism for the country, russia marking 325 years since it's navy was founded, which helped emerge as
12:30 pm
a global power at that time. but it's also becoming popular cd attraction, which draw spectators to the banks of the naval river every year. ok, that's it for this edition. all the weekly get more and all our stories that are don't call mind all you tube child for me in the. oscar, thanks for watching the i the i mash kaiser or more of my guys do financial survival. this is a hedge fund. it's a device used by professional value eggs to earn money. that's right. these hedge.
