from the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the in the stories that shape to the weekend are teacher national mass rallies blair across europe, against coven restrictions, police, fire, water, cannon, and tear gas amid thousands of angry protesters. also to come a chilling effect on media freedom, that's the reaction to address british law, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they exposed to state secret santa, the devastation in china from what's being called the worst of flooding. in a 1000 years, dozens are dead. amid widespread destruction. meanwhile,

the german government is slammed for not doing enough to prevent last week's record and flooding. despite the previous morning extreme, the weather claiming almost $200.00 life and causing billions of dollars in damage . ah, we are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international recapping week's top choice with our weekly program. i now a wave of protest has been seen across europe this weekend with thousands of people in several countries clashing with police. while rallying against co restriction, people are angry about losing their freedoms. even as the new delta variance is considered to be the most contagious strain of the

me, the notebooks denatured. i will lose my job. i've been threatened to get inquired. i'm here today and fables the freedom to choose it to like the french people being blackmail. 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 can be restrict. it's against the constitution. they are crushing right? we must be strong rebel. and when the

the and while the anti vax movement is growing, as well as the outrage over coded passports, health care workers continue to support the measures. and british doctor told us that vaccinations 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 mean, you can 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 bank sees. certainly people must be given the opportunity to get back today if they want it. but it will only come to the question, will be asked of mandatory vaccinations. if once we see everybody, you will entirely vaccinate whether that's not enough. if there are still real problems back in the past, in order to prevent people mixing with people who haven't been back to that for have a chance or picking up the virus and pass from you don't other people so well the back seat eliminate that they do reduce the chances of locked up for reporting. that's the fate facing journalist in 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 for up to 14 years.

but i got the comments a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot through, 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 with her 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 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 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 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 to share 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 on or 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 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 and make no mistake this,

this new secret law would give the most authoriz 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 grants freedom, perhaps, since since democracy came to britain, the definitions in the report are very old indeed. in fact, were journalism doesn't come up once in the 66 page report itself fundamental to the 56 page report in the journal if can be more dangerous than obviously the u. s . is prosecuting st. julian assigned to that as being jack. this 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 act jones. if they publish

the material, everyone can see it. so journalists have to be done. that is seriously the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government 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 storm which has already made landfall in the country. se some $360000.00 people in shanghai have been evacuated for safety after typhoon in the fall earlier hit jung with wind reaching over 100 kilometers per hour. shanghai is already experiencing heavy rainfall and strong winds, with hundreds of trees uprooted and some property damaged. all flights have been grounded at the cities to international airports and subway,

and trade services are also suspended. there are similar measures in several nearby cities as well. china is already struggling with the aftermath of record flooding, claimed to be the worst in a 1000 years, doesn't have been killed and widespread destruction in central regions. the authorities fear this latest typhoon could hinder you in recovery efforts that are still ongoing. ah, the now while some of the flooding has receded whole streets in some cities have been turned into rivers in the authorities are ramping up, rescue and recovery operations, and many people are still missing. meanwhile,

dudley floods in western europe have claimed the lives of almost 200 people. another 300 are unaccounted for amid torrential rains that have caused widespread damage. last week's events in germany have led to calls for the interior minister to quit. the opposition blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the daily judge. volunteers meanwhile, are helping to clear the devastation and debris as best they can. a job made it very difficult, though, as much of the infrastructure has been crippled. now on the one hand, politicians and climate experts claim the government knew that the floods were coming but failed to warn citizens. although officials and fists, the worst hit areas were alerted either way, many are asking why it went so badly wrong with more. here's our euro puss bonded patrol or is the for the floods struck west in germany, belgium looks in bergen benevolence, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european flood awareness system detected problems

where 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 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. remember what happened with the opinions of experts analyzing 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 targeting people on the spot and perhaps getting people out of their homes in particular places. visiting the scene of ortho devastation caused by

the flooding and western germany, count langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenges posed by climate change. quickly, chavez, which is germany, is a country that can overcome this financially. germany is a strong country, will oppose this force. of ne transish short term, but also in the media and long term policy that takes nature and climbed into accounts more than we have done in recent years. even in warnings from the weather . in 2016 the river 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 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 the this time? and we'll lessons be learned from this tragedy piece. roll of off c and cologne, germany. london has also been hit by heavy rain and thunder this weekend, turning through waves into canal. the capitals fire brigade has reportedly already received more than 300 calls for help over the flooding. and there is also extreme weather in the united states. wildfires have burned almost 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 4 counties. norway's beach hand ball team has been taking a stand against sexism in the sport and decided to ditch their bikini bottoms for

wait. gotta be there because it's always in some very, some people at the university of alabama, i analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2004 a little they found that 20 percent of the cameras shot were tight shot of play is chest. wow. and the scent of that camera operators. 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 me, but to sell this to us around the world. i love my something tells me that wouldn't be the case if the male players was mine. he needs

still have for the program inflation is soaring in the u. s. play joe biden says, don't worry to the majority of americans being hit in the pocket by rising prices. we'll take a closer look at that story for a whole lot other. this is the weekly, on our international ah, the ah,

me. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, 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 political time. time to sit down and talk me the news. ah welcome back to the weekly on our team international of us will continue to bomb afghanistan despite previously pledging to withdraw from the country by september. 11th this year,

the top general says airstrikes will deter the taliban from further advancing on africa and government positions. the united states has increased airstrikes in the support of afghan forces over the last several days. and were prepared to continue this high level support in the coming weeks if the taliban continue their attacks. this comes amid a massive offensive by the taliban, which now controls around to 80 percent of the country. the conflict has not only claimed the lives of military but also civilians. according to the united nations, within one 100000 afghans have fallen victim to the war since 2009. and it's also led to an ever increasing refugee crisis. michael maloof, a former pentagon senior security policy analysts believe here strikes will have little effect in combating the telephone. well, i think it's a little too little too late. the tele bomb was, has really been on the move. and you have, you have a lot of african forces that have already deserted they,

in fact they've gone to other countries. and this, this kind of support, i think, is a last ditch effort to try and support what's left to the cabal government. if you recall, the defense secretary initially announced that there would been no such air support for afghan forces. now that's been reversed after they saw the lightning speed in which the telephone has taken over. and they're just, they're just moving, moving, and they're, and they're going into strategic areas that they know that they can take very, very rapidly, particularly district capitals, biden from the very, very start, had advocated removing troops altogether. busy from afghanistan and, and if you recall, he was also the vice president under obama when obama moved all troops out of, out of iraq. and we only had to go back in again. and so this is just history

repeating itself. and it probably will become worse because it's the bombing will probably hit, but it areas, but i don't think it's going to be effective against the widespread infiltration that the telephone has now made in the inroads that they have made into the districts. and the provincial capitals with inflation in the u. s. hitting a 13 year high. people are rapidly feeling the pinch. 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 doesn't seem to concerned when it comes to his spending place. our experts fully in the data shows that most of the price increases we've seen are we're expected and expected to be temporary. nobody suggestion is unchecked inflation on the way. no serious economy. 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 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. all 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 businesses, whether the ups and downs or as the economy recovers. i don't buy anything when asked me what the wherever may 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 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's mind on the economy, perhaps this comparison is the wake up call. he needs the u. s. is 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 latin american country printing and spending money like there is no tomorrow, as pretty clearly got people concerned. biden gave the excuse that the spending was necessary to tamp down inflation, which was ridiculous out of 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 our big spenders, and they want to spend more money, they think that the u. s. government can go into infinite amounts of that, 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. switching gears to here in russia, in eastern russia, specifically, emergency workers are engaged in an ongoing struggle battling fierce wildfires. a disastrous mix of record heat and not much rain has contributed to the extraordinary intensity of the fires. authorities have even deployed fire service paratroopers to try to get a handle on the situation. the

who's the 1st of all, when you're one on one with you, feel the heat, the seriously feel anxious? well, and then you can get injured because you're jumping onto unprepared areas. first, that dangerous as trees come forth, that's what we try not to work separately. when somebody's patrolling an area, they always go with a companion, we parachute or a pell, from the helicopter to a site. the most important thing is that you said nature or i

was the situation. very serious. you find this where the conditions do not allow us to put out the fires as quickly as we would like. these wildfires are very difficult to fight as near complicated with the mountains in wind, but as possible to fight through the 1st year. the after years of contention, the u. s. has finally ditched its efforts to stop the construction of the north stream to pipeline. the project is set to double supplies of russian natural gas to germany under the baltic sea. and on wednesday, it was announced that washington had managed to eke out a compromise with berlin. separately, the russian president and the german chancellor both expressed their satisfaction with the pipeline is approaching completion. leaders are satisfied that the construction of the north term 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 his aimed at bolstering the energy security of germany and the e. u. the u. s. german deal means supplies will be able to bypass ukraine, but it's not entirely out of the pocket. 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 has also been warned, it will be there will be punishment if it uses the new pipeline for political games . while the us pledges to no longer stand in the way, some american officials are still upset, concerns or voice once again at a recent senate hearing in washington that the north stream to pipeline poses a threat to both us and you security. you told this committee that you believed if 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 in power to carry out that blackmail. you continue to believe that i do sen. german economists, we spoke to say americans attempts to stop nordstrom to violated basic international legal principles. up didn't, andrew, i get the impression that it's the u. s. that's using its energy policy to further its interest. i don't think the russia had to use his gas as a political tool or weapon in the gas conflict around refrain boils down to the fact that he was stealing gas and failed to pay bills. i see this agreement on north streams who was a victory for international law. so some measures the u. s. is usury and it's like the position of sanctions where america itself is not directly concerned. you are completely unacceptable and thank god, common sense prevails in the end and the pipeline will be completed represents a victory of sense and loss 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 accumulation 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 is diametrically opposite to the system of values that we prefer to adhere to. the weekly on our, to international the one, make sure, you know, board is under my number please. and you as emerge, we have with the lead on the back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge, you know, come crisis.
