so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together in the, in the stories and shake the week here. we're now i see mass rallies, player across europe, against restriction police, fire, water cannon and tear gas, mid sized with angry protest. also to kill him. a chilling effect will media freedom that reaction to a trough british role, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose the devastation in china from what's being called the worst flooding in size, and g doesn't cable to mid widespread destruction. meanwhile,

the german government is not doing enough to prevent last week reco flooding, despite previous warnings. extreme weather claiming almost $200.00 lives there and causing millions of dollars of damage. ah, hello there, the latest news and look back of what's been happening to over the last 7 days. you're watching the weekly here on our t international. now a ways of protests has been seen across europe this weekend. the sizes of people in several countries clash with police while rallying against kobe restrictions, people are angry about losing their freedoms, even as the new delta variance is considered to be the most contagious strain of the virus. the

me the the books and ages i will lose my job. i've been threatened to get inquired. i'm here today tables the freedom to choose it to like the french people of the black man, the the we say no to the green because it creates an a and b category. citizens of citizens who have rights and citizens who have no rights. freedom can be restrict, it's against the constitutional. they are crushing our right. we must be wrong, rebel. and when the

the the while the anti backs moving there is growing is what is the reg job a k with passports, health care workers continue to support the measures pretty stoked to toll just the facts and nations are still crucial to prevent the spread of the virus, i think we will get different strains and different variance of these fires going forward. i used to be with us for a long time, but vaccines will be a really important factor in eradicating the 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 to get back to it if they want it. but it will only come to the question related to ask whether mandatory vaccinations. if once we see everybody you voluntarily vaccinated, whether that's not enough. if there are still real problems back in past school. so in order to prevent people mixing with people who haven't being back or haven't reduced chances or picking up the virus, i'm possum, you don't other people. so while the back seat eliminate that they do reduce the chances of locked up for reporting mess the fight facing during the same britain. if a new draft law goes through reporters and their sources could be treated like

spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed up to 14 years. but it can see s 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 authorize disclosure offenses, there are cases where an authorized disclosure may be 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. instead, it's 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 leaks video kissing a coworker after he'd 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 journalists to share this video or shared anything that they received from a, with the 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 on 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, but there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engage in 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 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 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 in the 66 page report itself fundamental to the major poor. julie can be more dangerous than following. obviously, the u. s. as prosecuting said, really to be as jack this secretary or the secretary is backing a consultation document. it's against the journalist that much worse than spies 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 german attempt to be done. that is seriously level of logic and reduction that is being used here by the british government in raising freedoms and rights. the free press here in this country that if that if he created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act reform to be. chinese largest city is bracing for a powerful typhoon, which is expected to strike the eastern port of shanghai within a matter of hours, some $360000.00 people have been evacuated to safety as the storm made land fall in the countryside feast early this sunday, shanghai who was already experiencing heavy rainfall and strong winds, with hundreds of trees uprooted, and some property damage to all flights have been grounded at the cities to

international airports in subway, and train services are also suspended. there are similar measures in several nearby cities to china is already struggling with the aftermath of reco flooding that claim to be the worst. in a 1000 years, dozens had been killed in a widespread destruction in central regions and authority. still fear that this his typhoon could hinder the rescue and recovery efforts that is still on going back the night. while some of the flooding there has receded whole streets and some cities have been turned into rivers. as you can see, the authorities are ramping up. rescue and recovery operations. many people are

still missing. meanwhile, the 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. alas, weeks events in germany have led to cause for the interior minister to quit, the opposition blaming him personally for the country being unprepared. the deluge fall into the meanwhile helping to clear the devastation in debris as best they can at job a very difficult as much of the infrastructure has been badly crippled. now when the one hand politicians and climate experts do claim the government knew the floods were coming, but fail to warn citizens of officials to insist the worst hit areas were alerted. either way, many are asking why it went so badly wrong with more. his europe correspondent peter oliver is before the flood struck west in germany. belgium looks in bergen,

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 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

people out of their homes and particularly hard hit places. visiting the scene of utter devastation caused by the flooding in western germany, count langler merkel 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 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. our 1st it's bank causing damage to bridges and other infrastructure. they were repaired, but nothing was done to protect against future high waters. it's not a secret that streets and 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 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? peace roll of all tea and cologne, germany. well, london, this weekend is also been hit by heavy rain and thunder turning key 3 ways there into canals. the capitals fire brigade is reportedly already received more than 300 calls for help. over the flooding stream weather in the united states, wildfires and burned almost $200000.00 acres in northern california. dozens of buildings have reportedly been destroyed there with more than 7 fives. now under threat, the governor has already declared a state of emergency in for county joy speech. humble

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 men who should be allowed to wear them, however, it did land them with a very big fine party. boy. k 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 wearing shorts and a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. and while the old all that 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach base, they are obliged to strip down apparently the athlete code lizzy, a brain has been told the short 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 head. 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 pun, they're trying to dress more comfortably. in the case has been the legion, the team. actually, the european handbook federation for permission to play and 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 the, this is the room. i'm the man, get to play like this. the men rules state that the breezy swimming chunk like short can finish 10000 meters above the kneecap. while the women are obliged to have that on display maintenance effect to allied while running around, doing strenuous exercise in front inspect cases,

i'm being watched on tv. you could possibly have anything to do with these canada and viewers and watching the way be off there. because it's always a summer, very good people at the university of alabama, i analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2004 a little they found that 20 percent of the camera shot were tight shot of play is check. wow. the sense of that camera raises some of you. so the research is 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 player was mine, he needs the boy has and i still, i had on the weekly inflation is storing in the u. s. but joe biden says, don't worry to the majority of americans being in the pocket by rising prices among the stories to come just on i

i will. i 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 the in the moon. ah, welcome back to the weekly now with inflation in the us hitting a 13 year high. people are rapidly feeling the pinch. a poll published this week does say that 88 percent of americans are worried about the disproportionate

increase in living cos president by no claims. it's simply just a glitch and doesn't seem so concerned when it comes to 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 cost 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 present 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. while construction material is out of this world, 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 are as economy recovers. i don't buy anything. one of the, what the government 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 for prices 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 mind on the economy, perhaps this comparison is the wake up call. he needs the u. s. as in 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 deficits. 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 that the spaniards necessary to tamp down in station, which was ridiculous, had nothing in common. you can 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 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 mob been artsy new york also this week after years of contention. the u. s. is finally did she tell us to stop the construction of the nord stream to pipeline. the project is set to double supplies of russian natural gas to the german, to germany under the baltic sea and a wednesday. it was a nice that washington had managed to carry to compromise with berlin separately. the russian president and 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. while the u. s. german deal does, main supplies will be able to bypass the crime,

but it's not entirely active pocket because the country gets a $175000000.00. the infrastructure development and the current trends, it deal must stay in place too. and that means it can still collect fees. moscow is 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 are still upset. concerns were voiced, once again at a recent senate, hearing in washington for the new stream 2 pipeline poses a threat to both the u. s. and the security. you told this committee that you believed at the north stream 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 blackmail. you continue to

believe that i do sen with you. i'm and economist b spoke to do say that americans attempts to stop the nord stream to violated basic international legal principles. then 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, are completely unacceptable and thank god, common sense prevailed in the end and the pipeline will be completed 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 me. accumulations 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. russian celebrating navy day to day with nationwide parades, marking the services 300 and 25th anniversary. one of the biggest celebrations was in the port city port city, sorry to petersburg, the russian defense minister says it's the largest in years. and president putin address service personnel. they're all across russia. 15 times and mariners took part with almost 300 pieces of military hardware on show to earlier a correspondence got to look at some of the preparations were right in the heart of st. petersburg on the me a 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 they're designed to protect coastal water is other vessels. for instance, stores were sent to the gulf of aidan, in 2001, 900 scored if the merchant ships and make sure they were not attacked by them all the pirates. truth be told the ships armand is not something last that dorky and other vessels that last can fight against aircraft submarines and other ships and have torpedoes, artillery guns. but its main and the most formidable weapon is right here. it's the launching pad of rushes, latest cruise missiles caliber, the 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 near saint petersburg. and this is where some of the biggest battle that i think is hard and the brain are worn along 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. why the russian ladies nuclear stop that was commission just the year ago. like the 1st grad world headlights back in april, after an operation in the arctic ocean when its surface from under the ice. along with you either. 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, zelan 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 ironing his uniform thought and that was conflict. 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 its navy was founded, which helped the demurrage or the 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. watching international thanks me company tonight. we'll have more stories in the weekly, at the top, the the,

the, the ah, so what we try to do is really to leverage on the knowledge of this partners from developed countries and they offer free of charge the services support. little 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 o.
