has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the m, it's corporate, me ah. in the stores it shaped away here. now i see police fire was a candidate, angry protest isn't central piracy and size and radi nationwide to against government plans to make it mandatory in public places. so become a chilling effect on media freedom. the reaction to draw pretty slow, which could threaten investigative journalists, the prison, if they exposed state secrets, the devastation in china from what's being called the words floating in
2:01 pm
a 1000 years with doesn't killed and infrastructure destroyed. meanwhile, the german government, this plan for not feeling enough to prevent last week's reco flooding despite previous warning devastation, costing almost 200 lives. billions of dollars was done. ah . hello there, the latest news and the look back. what's been happening to over the last 7 days, you watch in the weekly here on arte international, my parish police are fired water cannon, ronnie's against plans for mandatory health, passed in front of it in the capital, to vent their frustrations over the coven restrictions the mm.
2:02 pm
mm mm. we've had figures from the ministry of the interior that said there were a 161000 individuals who decided to spend on the streets to protest these new restrictions. 11000 were here in paris where you saw those tensions with that water cannon. they find that the protesters also being used. so i just want 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 there were more than 50 individuals inside than to get inside, you have to show you all fully vaccinated against kobe 19, or that you have got a negative p, c,
2:03 pm
all. and teach in test what the parliament is doing at the moment is looking at a bill that is expected to be passed this weekend, which will extend that restriction. now the minute for labor has also keeping them in to be saving. so not only will those individuals want to access thought catholic restaurants means the house pass. 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, president mccord had said that they would be no introduction of an obligatory house pulse. and that's exactly now what's happening. but also the feel that the idea that allure is going to be amended to be able to suspend employees without the
2:04 pm
right to any pay has really made them to the fees as to whole. resume fits of cinemas. 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. 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 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 it pandemic, because from now, the government says is in the middle of a way of that. and it's saying that the need to ramp up in number or back the
2:05 pm
nation as we know that health workers will need to be vaccinated by the middle september. they will be able to work. and again, there are still many people vaccinated people, as well as faith into who say that this is about the freedom, the right of individuals to choose what happens to their bodies. charlotte davinsky reporting there will this be not violent pushback to elsewhere in europe against kobe? policies, the increase in size and reposing amended from vaccination program, which has been introduced to groups including health workers. protest is reportedly 3 pet full bombs during the rest. demonstrates the angry that there are such plans to spice. almost half the population already being innoculated and the british capital has also seen a mass demonstration under the slogan, worldwide, rally for freedom. not everybody that shared the same message with scuffles
2:06 pm
breaking out between the campaigners protest was held just stays after. major codes restrictions were lifted, locked up for reporting that the sate facing journalist in britain, if a new draw floor goes through the reporters and their sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed 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 on authorize disclosure offenses, there are cases where an authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious incentive
2:07 pm
intent and or damage. what's more, the legislation seeks to remove with blue protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead 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 off that 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
2:08 pm
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 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 harsher 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 restricted individuals be the journalists or foreign spies. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail them, there may be
2:09 pm
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 . 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 or authoritarian regimes in the world a run for their money. in the past, we feel 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
2:10 pm
the 36 page report. journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously the u. s. is prosecuting fe julius on the b as in jack, this own secretary. 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, is 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 have been created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act before looks to be showing this large city is bracing for a powerful typhoon, which is expected to strike the eastern port of shanghai within
2:11 pm
a matter of hours. some 360000 people have been evacuated to safety as the storm made land for the country sank east. early this sunday, shanghai is already experiencing heavy rainfall and strong winds, with hundreds of trees rooted and some property that damaged or fries had been grounded at the cities to international airports in subway, and train service is a rule. so suspended the rule. so similar measures to, in several nearby cities, china is already struggling with the aftermath of reco flooding. claimed to be the worst in the fans in years. dozens have been killed amid widespread destruction and central regions and authority stay fear that this latest ty, thing could hinder rescue recovery efforts ongoing in those affected areas. the
2:12 pm
news that was some of the flooding has receded whole streets in some cities have turned into rivers. as you can see, the stories are ramping up. rescue recovery operations, although many people are still missing. more deadly floods in western europe have claimed the lives of almost 200 people. another 300 are accounted for a major torrential rains that have caused widespread damage. last week's events in germany have led to cause for the interior minister there to quit, the opposition blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the deluge. volunteers meanwhile, helping to clear the devastation in debris as best they can. a job though, made more difficult as much of the infrastructure has been badly crippled. now, one the one hand politicians in climate experts to claim that the government knew
2:13 pm
that the floods were coming but fail to warn citizens. although officials do insist the worst areas were alerted either way, it has led to many to ask what went so badly wrong with more he's our europe correspondent, pacer oliver days before the floods struck west in germany, belgium look simberg and the netherlands, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european float awareness 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 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 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 history. what happened with the opinions of experts analyzing
2:14 pm
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 people out of their homes in particularly hard places. visiting the thing of utter devastation caused by the flooding and western germany, chance langler merkle 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,
2:15 pm
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 good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting to 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 at them this time? and will lessons be learned from this tragedy? peace role of a c and cologne, germany and always beach campbell team has been taking a stand against sexism in the sport. hand decided to ditch their bikini bottoms. for sure, saying it's not just the men who should be allowed to wear them. however, he did land them with a very big fine art poly boy takes

u. s. the joe biden says doug worried the majority of americans being in the pocket by rising prices. we'll have a look at that story plus others to take just off the driven by shaped banks control those in me who dares thing we dare to ask oh, so what we're trying to do is really to leverage on the knowledge of this partners

from developed countries and over field church services, dance report, but it was so we app this is sort of a broker 12 things from developing an emerging countries to get access to space. because clearly one of the issues, one of the show stoppers is the cost on the launch in the operation. the ah, welcome back to the weekly now with inflation in the u. s. hitting a 13 year high. people are rapidly feeling the pinch. a poll published this week says that 88 percent of americans are worried about the disproportionate increase in living costs. president biden though, claims it's just a glitch and doesn't seem to concerned when it comes to his spending plans. our
2:21 pm
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 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 and also the runs 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. while construction material is out of this world,
2:22 pm
somebody's making some good money, and i think it's because joe biden, we could help families in small business, is 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, 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. as in the very best position from a long term point of view, i don't see how these can and well, when we're running now, budget deficits, something like 15 percent of g d p. this is beginning to look a little bit like a lesson american country printing and spending money like there is no tomorrow,
2:23 pm
as pretty clearly got people concerned. biden gave the excuse that the spending is necessary to tamp down inflation, which is ridiculous, had nothing in common. the, 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, 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. 5 insurers, 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 failed mop and r t new york. another news tonight in eastern russia emergency workers are engaged in an
