talk the the, the, the in the stores shape the way here or not. you please fire was a candidate, angry protest isn't central paris from thousands, riley nationwide again, government plans to make covey tosses mandatory in public places. also to come a touring effect on media freedom reaction to withdraw pretty school, which could threaten investigative journalist prison if they exposed to state secret the devastation in china. what's being called the worst flooding in a 1000 years with dozens killed and infrastructure destroyed. and the german

government, meanwhile, is not doing enough to prevent last week reco. it's flooding there despite previous warning, devastation, timing, almost $200.00 lives and quarter, causing billions of dollars of done ah hello, welcome. the latest developments now look back. what's been happening over the last 7 days to you watch in the weekly here, on arty international. i parish police have fire water cannon, ronnie's against plans for mandatory health passes in france, eisen gathered in the capital to vent their frustrations over covey to restrictions . the news

the me the, we've had figures from the ministry of the interior that said there were a 161000 individuals who decided to send onto the street 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 is also being used. so i just wanna explain a little bit about what the health passes. 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 all fully vaccinated against kobe 19, or that you have got a negative p, c,

all. and teach in 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 minutes for labor has also given them into the youth stating that not only will those individual work to access catholic the restaurant means this house 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 the only way people furious about the fact that just a few months ago, present macro and had said that they would be no introduction, open 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 spend employees without the right to any pe. there's really made them to see

a whole 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 lecture which should have been administered during the week before they taught 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 me 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 from now, the government says is in the middle of a way of saying that the need to ramp up the number on the back to nations. we

know that health workers will be fascinated by the mid september the work. and again, there are still many people vaccinated people as well. i've spoken to who say that this is about the freedom, the right of individuals to choose what happens to their bodies. while the has been violent pushback elsewhere in europe to against coven policies. the. they just seen from greece, where sizes are opposing amanda free vaccination program, which has been interchange to groups including health work is protest is reportedly through petrol. bombs during the unrest demonstrates and the angry that there are such plans. despite almost half the population already being inoculated on the british capital has also seen the mass demonstration under the slogan, a world wide rally for freedom and heavy body. shad

a message with scuffles breaking out between the campaigners. the protest was held just stays after major k with restrictions were lifted. i looked up for reporting, that is the fate facing journalist in britain. if and you draw, flor goes through reporters on their sources, could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years what had cast the f. as 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 authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. what's more,

the legislation seeks to remove with her blue protections, 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 their government is engaged in something immoral or illegal which raises an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like the health secretary, and least with you kissing a coworker after he 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 little has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock

officially. but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see, any journalist who shared this video shared anything that they received problem 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 and the data bases 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 to limited evidence that could be openly used to support criminal prosecution. 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 make no mistake. these, these new secrets he would give the most autherette area and regimes in the world, a run for their money, a pass whistle blowing, and investigative journalism as we know within 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 6 major poured into

journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously, the u. s is prosecuting fe julian assigned to be as jack this secretary of 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. so journalists have to be done. that is miss the least level of logical 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 before looks to be not chinese largest cities bracing for a powerful tie thing, which is expected to strike the eastern port in shanghai within a matter of hours. some 360000 people have been evacuated to safety as the storm

made lamb full in the countryside feast. early this sunday, shanghai is experiencing heavy rain for the moment and strong winds, with hundreds of trees rooted and some property already damaged or flies have been grounded atmosphere to international airport and subway and trained services are also suspended. and there are similar measures to in several nearby cities, while china, regional ready, struggling with the aftermath of record flooding, claimed to be the worst in a 1000 years. dozens have been killed amid widespread destruction and central regions and authorities do fear that this latest ty, food could hinder rescue and recovery efforts ongoing in that affected area. the news

now, while some of the flooding has receded whole streets in some cities have been turned into rivers. as you can see, the authorities are ramping up. rescue and recovery operations, but many people are still missing. meanwhile deadly floods in western europe have claimed the lives of almost 200 people. another 300 are accounted for amid torrential rains that have caused widespread damage. last week's events in germany have led to caused the interior minister to quit the opposition, blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the deluge. volunteers meanwhile, helping to claim devastation and pres best they can. a job made more difficult though as much of the infrastructure has been crippled. on the one hand, politicians and climate experts do claim that the government knew of the floods

were coming sorry, but failed to warn citizens alive. officials to insist the worsted areas where are alerted either way, it has led many to ask what went so badly wrong with more his are. you are a correspondent pacer oliver is before the flood struck western germany, belgium looks in bergen, the netherlands, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european flow to when a system detected problems with 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 case. no one was expecting it. the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance, would have helped to say some essential belongings. and other problem is that many elderly people didn't even understand what was going on if 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,

audio history of what happened with the opinions of experts analyzing what happened to this 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 people out of their homes in particular places. visiting the scene of utter devastation caused by the flooding in west and germany, chance langler merkel pledged more efforts to tackle the challenge is posed by climate change. quickly 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 to a policy that takes nature and climate into account more than we have done in recent years. there had been warnings from the weather in 2016 the river, far bursted 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 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, role of a c and cologne germany. now another news this week, norway's speech hamburg team has been taking a stand against sexism in the sport and decided to ditch their bikini bottoms for short. saying is not just the man who should be alive to wear them, however,

it did land them with a very big fine art is putting boy takes a candid look 2021 this summer. oh show or lack thereof. in the case of the norwegian speech handball team, which has been fined 1700 year a wearing shorts than a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. while the old all the 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach base are obliged to strip down apparently the athlete called lizzie, a brain has been told that her shorts were too short a recent competition in the u. k. i just, i just that's how she said that no, i didn't concern about finding her sure. 2021 is getting confusing. you got time gender weight lifted 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 of the norwegian, 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 not been given a good reason. they just the telling us that this is the room i'm the man get to play like this. the man rules state that the agree, the swimming chunk like sure can finish 10 centimeters above the kneecap, while the women are obliged to have that on display, needlessly back to alive while running around doing strenuous exercise in front of spect cases. i'm being watched on tv, you could possibly have anything to do with the caliber and viewers and watching the way be awesome because it's always summer.

very good. people at the university of alabama, i analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2004 a live keg. they found that 20 percent of the cameras shot were tight shot of play as chat. wow. the sense of that camera braces, some of you. so the research has concluded that the visual coverage of the game, confirm the sex and sexuality, we use not only to promote the me, but just tell the school because he was around the world. i love my something tells me that wouldn't be the case if the male players was maggie me

that i had on the weekly mega 1000000000. and amazon found a just as all makes it into space to some know, hoping it was a one way ticket will tell you why just after the ah ah ah, i use

join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guests in the world, the politics sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then, in the in the moon shoes. ah, welcome back to the weekly now he's already the world's richest man. but i was and found that jeff bezos is scaled new heights after blasting off into orbit in his own rocket. the man and, and start to watch the it was

a quick trip into space. the entire journey lost just 10 minutes beds of landing safely back on earth. some though had wanted the billionaire to stay in space for good online petition objecting to his re entry. racked up more than $160.00 i was the signatures, are these kind of more pin asked new york is whether an ideal world they would want him back. we need them. yeah. but i'm saying it's a lot of things happen in the world. you don't need to be flying to the space that seems a little bit extra human. but maybe it will probably never really happen. those 3 people alone can take care of the whole world problems right now with the pandemic . but they're going to space at the end of the day, we supposed be focused on our population. not up there down here jeff days. those is not the only billionaire to have gotten space fever. he actually lost the space race to another, alter richman, richard branson. and ilan mosque is set to be 3rd on the podium. they all claim that it's for the common good way here to make space more accessible to all welcome

to the dawn of a new space age. recent studies showed that a minimum wage worker cannot afford a one bedroom apartment in 93 percent of the counties in the united states. this is not a situation where people can afford to just get off to the stars for a holiday weekend. now there are many billionaires like days, those who actually avoid paying taxes many look at this and blame a corrupt loophole, written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due or backwards and corrupt tax system is allowed. the same person who pays nicks to know federal income tax to blow $7500000000.00 on his own private aerospace company. while hard work in american families pay an average of 14 percent income tax each year. basis on the other billing ads in it's obscene race to space should be required to pay the show. while working families were struggling to pay their bill than the infrastructure of the united states is crumbling. the billionaires are having their

own little space race and seeing who can reach the stars faster. do you think you'll ever be able to afford to go to space? i can't afford to live in new york. the average person can barely afford starbucks . these travels never going to be affordable for everybody by the fact we might be because you know what, as this economy is coming down to order technology and everything is upgraded to the fact that how we bought the movie with earth. i mean over to explain it possibly. so you never know with many feeling that glory projects such as races into space to make a mockery of the hard work carried out by the majority. it shouldn't be a surprise that many are wondering if we shouldn't just dump the ultra rich into outer space as the latest piece of space, junk, mop and r t new york or former employee. chris smalls had the amazon labor union and told us why ordinary work is to see this kind of space adventure as disrespectful. after like, is a slap in the face, obviously being

a worker for almost 5 years with the company. and i can tell you now the work is that i'm organizing way outside of staten island. are they didn't take it well as either i guess his growth is over $200000000000.00. he made a lot of money off of us. his wealth increased like 3 times them out within one year air. you don't do that without exploiting your workers and the fact that you know, we're still struggling to have a decent living wage in and to fight for health care and benefits that benefit workers. we know people to have died last year just from colby 19 in. you know, we know people that are brain dead from catching corona, virus inside the facilities. so it's just a sad thing without your ceo, which is mentioned in that we pay for it now, off of contention, the u. s. has finally ditched his efforts to stop the construction of the nord stream to pipeline. the project is set to double supplies of russian natural gas to

germany under the baltic sea and a wednesday. it was the 9th that washington had managed to catch a compromise with berlin. separately, the russian president and the german chancellor both expressed their satisfaction that the pipeline is approaching completion. leaders are satisfied that the construction of the north turn to pipeline is nearly finished. the russian president noted germany's consistent commitment to the implementation of the project, which is exclusively of a commercial nature, and is aimed at bolstering the energy security of germany and the e. u. well, the u. s. german deal mean supplies will be able to bypass ukraine, but it's not entirely active pocket because the country gets $175000000.00 for infrastructure development. and the current transit deal must stay in place and that means it can still collect fees. moscow too, has also been warned. it will be punished if it uses the new pipeline for political gains,

while the us pages to no longer stand in the way some american officials is still upset. concerns were voiced, once again at a recent senate hearing in washington that the nor stream to pipeline poses a threat to both us and the use security. you told this committee that you believed to nordstrom to 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 black veil. do you continue to believe that i do sen? oh, we german economists. we spoke to did say that america's attempts to stop nord string to violate it basic international legal principles. shop then andrew, i get the impression that it's the u. s. that's using 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 position of sanctions where america itself is not directly concerned, are completely unacceptable and thank god, common sense prevailed in the end and the pipeline will be completed. it represents a victory of sense and law, rather than that of poodle. it has 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 accumulations. such notion that america's national security on the basis of which sanctions of 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. that russia is celebrating navy day to day with nationwide parades, marking the services 300 and 25th anniversary,

one of the biggest celebrations is in the port st. petersburg. the russian defense minister says it's the largest in years. and president posting did address service personnel there. the event will be rounded off to the firework display this evening . now, all across russia, 15000 mariners, took part with almost 300 pieces of military hardware on, showed to earlier correspondent gotta 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 out that fast or resolute rushing corvettes or frigates by native classification are relatively small, but vast warships there designed to protect coastal waters or other vessels. for instance, stores were sent to the gulf of aidan, in 2001,

902 scored at the merchant ships and make sure there were not a tag bite. some all the pirates truth be told, the ships armament is not something laughed at. the store, gate and other of the last can fight against aircraft submarines and other ships that have or hillary guns. but it's main. and the most for middle 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 is hard in the brain are more along them. 3 nuclear power. it's submarines that are going to be on public plate for the 1st time and one of them definitely

stand down slightly. russian ladies nuclear stop. that was commission just the year ago like the my 1st grad world headlights back in april after an operation in the arctic ocean when its surface from under the ice along with you other sounds. this was the 1st time in the history of the russian in soviet navy that such a mission had taken place and were on deck rocket ship cold on adult. and what's interesting 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 the quarter. it is where the crew members live, as you can see right here. one of the crew members is.
