doing clearly, they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening. the the in the stories that shaped the weak mass rallies flare across europe against coven restrictions, plus police fire water, cannons, and tear gas and thousands of angry protesters also become a chilling effect on media freedom. that's the reaction to a draft and british law, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose state secrets and the devastation in china from what is it 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 flooding despite the previous warning. extreme weather claiming almost $200.00 lives and causing billions of dollars of damage ah protecting live direct from our studios in moscow. recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program, this is our international i wave of protests has been seen across europe this weekend with thousands of people in several countries clashing with police while rallying against corporate restrictions. people are angry about losing their freedoms, even as a new dr. variant is considered to be the most contagious strain of the vice the

the who's that works in ages. i will lose my job. i've been threatened to get him why i'm here today and fables the freedom to choose, to like the french people are being blackmail. didn't we say no to the green? because it creates an a and b category. citizen is a designers who have rights and citizens who have no rights. freedom can be restrict, it's against the constitutional and they are crushing our right. we must be strong rebel, and when the the

the while the anti backs movement is growing, as well as the outrage over coven passports, health care workers continue to support the measures. a british doctor told us that vaccinations are still crucial to prevent the spread. the virus i think we will get different strains and different variants of these fires going forward. i need to be with us for a long time. but vaccines will be a really important factor in a rabbit facing 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 the mandatory vaccinations if once we see everybody you voluntary 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. i'm possum, you don't other people while the back seat eliminate that, they do reduce the chances of locked up for reporting. that's the fate facing journalists in britain. if a new draft law goes through reporters and their sources could be treated like spice and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years.

but because you have comments, 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 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 which raises an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like

the health secretary in a least video kissing a coworker after he 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. 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. there are 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 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 he lou 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, are 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 36 major poured into journalists can be more dangerous because obviously the u . s. is prosecuting st. julianna's sons in the b, as in 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 actor jones. if they publish the material, everyone can see it. so journalists have to be claimed that is seriously the level

of logical 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 before looks to be. china's largest city is bracing for a powerful storm which has already made landfall in the country. se some 360000 people in shanghai have been evacuated to safety. after typhoon in far earlier hit john with winds reaching over 100 kilometers per hour. so shanghai is already experiencing heavy rainfall and strong winds, with hundreds of trees uprooted in some property damaged. all flights have been grounded at the cities to international airport and subway and train services 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 amid widespread destruction in central regions and authorities here. this latest typhoon could hinder rescue in recovery efforts that are still going on. the news. the news now, while some of the flooding it has receded whole streets and some cities have been turned into rivers, the authorities are ramping up a 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 $300.00 are accounted for mid

torrential rains that have cause widespread damage. last week's events in germany have led to 2 calls for the interior minister to quit. the opposition blaming him personally for the country being unprepared for the daily news. volunteers, meanwhile, are helping to clear the devastation and debris as best they can job made 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 worse at areas were alerted. either way, many are asking why it went so badly wrong with more. here's our euro corresponded peter over is the for the floods struck western 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 key. 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 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 particular places. visiting the thing of the devastation caused by the flooding and western germany champ, 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 accounts 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 happens 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 will lessons be learned from this tragedy? peace role of a c and cologne germany. london has also been hit by heavy rain and thunder. this weekend is turning key through ways into canals. the capitals fire brigade has reportedly already received more than 300 calls for help over the flooding. and then there's extreme weather in the united states. wildfires have burned almost 200000 acres in northern california. dozens of building have reportedly been destroyed with more than 7000 to now under threat. the governor has already declared a state of emergency in 4 counties nor ways. beach handball team has been taking a stand against sexism in the sport and decided to ditch their bikini bottoms for shorts, saying it's not just the men who should be allowed to wear them. however, it did lend them a very big fine or he was probably boy go, 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 euro for wearing shorts in a match recently instead of the regulation, teeny tiny breed. while the old all the 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach bass 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 k. i just that she's been said no, i didn't concern about finding harry shaw. 2021 is getting confusing. you got transgender 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 be european handful federation for permitted to play in short,

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 man rules state that the agree, the swimming chunk like sure can finish 10000 meters above the kneecap. while the women are obliged to have that on display maintenance effect to allies while running around doing strenuous exercise in front of cases i'm being watched on tv. you could possibly have anything to do with the caliber view is watching the whole way be also there. because it's always in the summer, very good people at the university of alabama,

i analyzed the beach volleyball at the 2004 olympics they found that 20 percent of the camera shot were tight shot of play is chest. wow. the scent of that camera operation. some of you. so the research has concluded that the visual coverage of the game, confirm sex and sexuality. we use not only to promote the me, but to sell 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 mankey me. so i had for you this hour, inflation is soaring in the us, but joe biden says, don't worry to the majority of americans being hit in the pocket by rising prices. we will take a closer look at that story, plus others as well after. so a break,

this is the weekly on our international oh i i back kaiser's financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh, you mean the downside? artificially little mortgage. okay, carried away was trying to report the 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 services support. but it was so we are, this is sort of a broker 12 things from developing an emerging conscious to get up to speed.

because clearly one of the issues, one of the show stoppers is the cost of the launch in the operation. the the, the, the, the, the welcome back. this is the weekly on our to international. now the u. s. is to continue to bomb afghanistan, despite 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 80 percent of the country. the conflict has not only claimed the lives of military but also civilians. according to the united nations, more than 100000 africans have fallen victim to the war since 2009. that's not even the beginning of the war. it has also led to an ever increasing refugee crisis. michael maloof, a former pentagon senior security policy analyst, believe the air strikes will have little effect in combating the telephone. well, i think it's a little too little to leave. 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 into other countries. and this, this kind of support, i think, is a last ditch effort to try and support what's left of the cabal government. if you recall, the defense secretary initially announced that there would be no such air support

for afghan forces. now that's been reversed after they saw the lightning speed in which the taliban 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 ahead, advocated removing troops altogether. busy from afghanistan and, and if you recall, he was also the vice president and under obama went obama moved all troops out of out of iraq. and we only had to go back in again. and so this is just just history repeating itself, and it probably will become worse because it's the bombing will probably hit limited areas, but i don't think it's going to be effective against the widespread infiltration that the telephone has now made. and 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 its just a glitch and doesn't seem to 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. 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 president's 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 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. well, 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 or as economy recovers. i don't buy anything. what is me? what the government says nowadays? i, i truly, truly know. 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. 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 latin america country printing and spending money like there is no tomorrow, as pretty clearly got people concerned. biden gave the excuse that the spending is necessary to tamp down inflation, which is ridiculous, has nothing in common. 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. there's

no limits whatsoever. they really believe this 5, mature is 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. after years of contention, us has finally ditched its 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 on wednesday, it was announced that washington had managed to eke out a 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. the u. s. at germany deal means supplies will be able to bypass ukraine. but it's not entirely out of pocket. kev 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 that there will be punishment if it uses the new pipeline for political gains. while the us pledges 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 that the north stream 2 pipeline poses a threat to both us and you security. you told this committee that you believed the 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? german economists, we spoke to say america's attempts to stop nord stream and to violate basic international legal principles that i get the impression that it's the u. s. diffusing its energy policy to further its interest realty, i don't think russia gas was lyrical tool or weapon in the gas conflict around your brain boils down to the fact that you have with stealing gas and failed to pay bills. i see this agreement on north streams who has a victory for international law. so some measures the u. s. is using and it's like the position of sanctions where america itself is not directly concerned. you are completely unacceptable and thank god, common sense prevailed in the end and the pipeline will be completed represents a victory of sense and loss rather than that approved light. 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 his ations. this

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. in 32 minutes, i'll be back with another look at your weekly, this is martina international. the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the in the world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct?

what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation. 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 oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or. busy obese, it's profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted.

not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific it's found the ah, what's driving the reason for them it's corporate. me let me . ah ah ah, ah.
