join me every thursday on the alex, silent show, and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the, in the stores and shade the way here are not mass rallies, flare across europe. again. coby restrictions, please fire water, cannon and gas. the mid sized new design green protest is also to come the sour chilling effect from media freedom. that's the reactions withdraw, pretty slow, which could threaten investigative journalists, the prison if they exposed the state, because the devastation and china thing called the worst floating in a 1000 doesn't killed a mid widespread destruction. while the german government, who slammed for not doing enough to prevent last week reco flooding,

despite previous warnings, extreme weather, claiming almost 200 license, billions of dollars of damage. ah, hello, that the latest developments look back to what's been happening over the last 7 days. you're watching the weekly here on the international now wave of protest this have been seen across europe. his sizes of paper in several countries clashed with police while rallying against coby restrictions. people are angry about infringements, infringements on their freedoms, even as the new delta varying is considered. the viruses most contagious strike. the me

i'm that works in a more job. i've been threatened to get him why i'm here today and the freedom to choose it to like the french people of the black, my, the we say no to the green because it creates an a and b category citizen. citizens who have rights and citizens who have no rights freedom, it can't be restricted. it's against the constitutional. they are crushing our rights. we must be strong rebel. and when the

the the now, while the anti banks movement is growing, as well as the rage, their rover cobit passports, health care workers, do you continue to support such measures? british doctor told us that fascinations is still crucial for renting the spread of the virus. i think we will get different strains and different variance of these fires going forward. i need to be with us for a long time box. vaccines will be a really important factor in a rabbit virus or pushing back against people can refuse

medical treatment. any medical treatment, and that's really what the vaccines. certainly people must be given the opportunity back today if they want it. but it will only come to the question related to ask the mandatory vaccinations. if once we see everybody you voluntarily vaccinated. whether that's not enough. if there are still real problems back in passport, so in order to prevent people mixing with people who haven't been back to me or haven't use chances or picking up the virus, i'm passing, you don't other people. so while the back seat eliminate that they do reduce the chances of locked up for reporting. that's the fate facing journalist embrace. and if a new draft law goes through, reports is on their sources could be treated like spice and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years were cast the f. as the story

a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot. so 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 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 trays is an

interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like the health secretary and leaked 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 any journalist who shared this with your shed, anything that they received from a, with the blue, could see the 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 they 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. this,

this new secret law would give the most authors area and regimes in the world a run for their money, a 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 chris 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 and 66 page report itself fundamental to expand your poor into journalists can be more dangerous than following. obviously, the u. s. is prosecuting play with the jack. this secretary of secretary is backing a consultation document that suggest that journalists that much worse, in spite supplies, after all, can work for one government to another government or one actor jones. if they

publish the material, everyone can see it's a journal. it has to be done that is see the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in, in 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 reform looks to be. china's largest city is bracing for a powerful typhoon, which is expected to strike the eastern port of shanghai. within a matter of hours, some 360000 people have been evacuated to safety as the still made land fall in the countryside east. early this sunday, shanghai is already experiencing heavy rain fall and strong winds with hundreds of trees are rooted and some property damaged or flies have been ground to the cities to international airports and subway and train services are also suspended. there

were similar, similar measures to in several nearby cities. china is already struggling with the aftermath to have reco flooding claimed to be the worst. in a 1000 years, dozens had been killed, made widespread destruction and central regions and authorities to fear that this latest typhoon could hinder rescue recovery efforts ongoing in the affected areas. the now some of the flooding there has receded whole streets and some cities have turned into rivers. as you can see, the authorities of ramping up rescue and recovery operations, although many people are still missing. meanwhile,

steadily floods in western europe has claimed the lives of almost 200 people. another 300 are accounted for him to wrench 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. warranties. meanwhile, i help him to clear the devastation and debris as best they can. a job made more difficult, though, as much of the infrastructure has been crippled. on the one hand, politicians in climate experts to claim the government knew that the floods were coming but failed to warn citizens. although officials to insist the worst hit areas were alerted either way, it has led to many to ask what went so badly wrong with more. he's all europe correspondent, peter oliver is before the floods struck west in germany, belgium looks in bergen benevolence, 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 can do that. 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 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 history. what happened with the opinions of experts analyze 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 particularly 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 fortune. 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 accounts more than we have done in recent years. there had been warnings from the weather. in 2016, the river are 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 a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired it like it's ok 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 with the authorities not better prepared for what nature would throw out them this time. and will lessons be learned from this tragedy piece role of a tea and cologne, germany? well, we spoke to an m p for germany's the left party. he told us the government repeated broken his promises when it comes to emergency systems checks. we are witnessing a fatal or a monumental sailor on different levels, as you know, we have to germany, a federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems, where for example, the federal government is 3. they, they to that last year to check their allow system and this was a failure and renown to do it again this year and to repair it. and they didn't do

so. no, they are not doing this for next year. it seems that the warning systems and following evacuation in other countries were a better organized germany, which is the which is because the high developed country. but there's a problem in that system and we have to check it and we have to make it better. there are political responsibilities. people are not sitting there with of the big party. they reside. london is also being hit by heavy rain and thunder this weekend, turning key 3 ways into can. the capitals fire brigade is reportedly already receive more than $300.00 calls for help over the flooding. and while 5 have burned me model, most 200000 acres in northern california, dozens of buildings have reportedly been destroyed with more than 7000. now under

threat, the governor has already declared a state of emergency in full county. no way speech campbell team has been taking a stand against sexism in the sport and decided to ditch that bikini bottoms for short saying it's not just the men who should be allowed to wear them. however, he did land them with a very big fine artist, poly boy takes a candid look 2021 this summer, or show or lack thereof. in the case of the new region, speech cannon ball team, which has been fined 1700 year, a wearing shorts in a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. and while the old all the 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach base, they are obliged to strip down apparently the athlete code lizzy, a brain has been told to hush or what to short,

a recent competition in the u. k. i just, i just that's how she said that no, i didn't get a bad binding head. sure. 2021 is getting confusing. you got cancer and the weight lifted at elan, pac female power limby, and being told to dress more appropriately and female handle being punished for trying to dress more comfortably. in the case of the norwegian, the team actually be european handful federation for permission to play. and sure, but the federation said no, but they did it anyway. they were last with a fine. i have not been given a good reason. they just the telling us this is the room i'm the man get to play like this. the men rules state that the agree, the swimming chunk like short can finish 10000 meters above the kneecap, while the women are obliged to have them on display neatness,

respect to allied while running around, doing strenuous exercise in front inspect cases. i'm being watched on tv. could this possibly have anything to do with the caliber view is watching. the ball will be off there because it's always a summer. very some people at the university of alabama actually analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2004 a little they found that 20 percent of the camera shot were tight shot play is check. wow. the sense of that camera braces, some of you. so the research has concluded that 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 maggie mean. i feel i had you on the weekly magazine and amazon phones can make it into space with some people hoping it's a bit longer and will tell you why. after the break oh i what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even for an taishan, let it be an arms race is on 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 ah, the who's in the the, the, the, ah, welcome back. now he's already the world's richest man,

but amazon found a jeff bezos has scaled new heights after blasting off into orbit in his new rocket . demanding and star to what the, what? it was a very quick trip into space. the entire journey lasted only 10 minutes. as well, landing, safe and back on earth. some though, had warned to billionaire to stay in space for good. an online petition objecting to his re entry, racked up more than 160000 signatures. and he's kind of off in new york is whether an ideal world would allow him back. we need them here, 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 because it will probably never really happen. those 3 people alone can take care of the whole world's problems right now with the pandemic. but they're going to space at the end of the day, we supposed be focusing 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, where he had 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 corrupt loophole, written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due or backwards and corrupt tax system has allowed the same person who pays next 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, billionaires in his obscene race to space should be required to pay their fair share. while working families are struggling to pay their bills and 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 being upgraded to the fact that how we bought the move, i mean over to our next planet. 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. martin r t. new york. a fuller employee. chris small heads the amazon labor union and told

us why holden the work is to see this kind of space adventure as disrespectful. i feel 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 workers that are organized and way outside of staten island are they didn't take it well as either guess. growth is over $200000000000.00. he made a lot of money off of us. his wealth increased like 3 times the amount 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 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. before we go out, russia is celebrating navy day to day with nationwide parades, market services, 325th anniversary. one of the biggest celebrations is in the ports to the st. petersburg. the russian defense minister says, is the largest in years. and president putin address service personnel there will all across russia 15 times and mariners to part with almost 300 pieces of military hardware on show to. earlier i'll correspond and got a closer look at some of the preparation. we're right in the heart of saint 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, or baths, or frigging by native classification are relatively small,

but vast warships they're designed to protect coastal waters or other vessels. for instance, stores that were sent to the gulf of aidan, in 2001, 900 to score it if the merchant ships and make sure that we're not attacked by some all the pirates. truth be told, this shift armament is not something last that dorky and other group out of that class can fight against aircraft submarines and other ships that have artillery guns. but it's main. and the most for middle weapon is right here. it's the launching pad of rushes, latest cruise missiles caliber, columbia. was it hard to city worship in here? so can 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 z petersburg. this is where some of the biggest backbone that i think is hard

and the brain are born among them. 3 nuclear power, it's submarines that are going to be on public display for the 1st time. and one of them definitely stand down like the russian ladies nuclear stop. that was commission just the year ago. the 1st grab world headlines back in april after an operation in the arctic ocean when its surface from under the ice, along with you other stuff. this was the 1st time in the history of the russian in soviet navy that such a mission had taken place. and we're on deck rocket ship, cold, deal on adult. and what's interesting about this worship is that it took part in an actual military operation, in theory, 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 irish, his uniform nettles. conflict to my 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 saint petersburg has great symbolism for the country, russia marking 325 years since its navy was founded, which help to diverge as a global power at that time. but it's also become a popular cd attraction, which draws spectators to the banks of the naval river every year in washington weekly here in austin to national don't forget to go to website for the stories too. you can find that at aren't. you don't call me the

the join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in a. ready ready class, enough person i knew often the song said it was just the cobalt blue book. truly i don't use all the the because it's always more you need to. he's going to contribute usually. so which protests

and what gone. yeah. because really knew from the moment that she didn't need to bring it up on the none of my new middle charges going to talk to my name is jason lever, but you can plug it in or you think you remember me? he'd been searching the river. it was pretty obvious, he had muddy boots on his arrogant, he was sitting there like this with his muddy boot and flicking mud all over the floor. and.
