me the the, the stories that shape the weak here on our international mass rallies and flare across europe against kobe restrictions, police, fire water, cannons, and tear gas, and then thousands of angry protesters also become a chilling effect on media freedom. that is the reaction to address british law, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose the state secrets and the data sion in china from what is being called the worst flooding in a 1000 years, dozens are dead and mid widespread destruction. meanwhile, the german government is slammed for not doing enough to prevent the last week's

record of flooding just by the previous morning. extreme weather claiming almost $200.00 lives and causing billions of dollars of damage. ah, we're broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. as we recap the weeks, the top stories, a wave of protests has been seen across europe this weekend with thousands of people in several countries clashing with police. while rallying against coven restrictions, people are angry about losing their freedoms, even as the new delta variant is considered to be the most contagious strain of the virus. the,

the who's 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 it to like the french people are being blackmail. we say no to the green because it creates an a and b category. citizen is it isn't it who have rights and citizens who have no rights. freedom can be restrict, it's against the constitutional or crushing or right. we must be strong rebel. and when the

the the and while the anti vax movement is growing, as well as the outrage over coven 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 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 back today if they want it. but it will only come to the question, will be asked whether mandatory vaccinations. if once we see everybody you momentarily 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 been back to that 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. that is the fate facing journalists 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.

or what are does you have comments? a journalist 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 alternate disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. but more the legislation seeks to remove with her blue 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 the government is engaged in something immoral or illegal trays is an

interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like the health secretary and leaks video kissing a coworker 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 resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see any journalist who shared this video or 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 data bases 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 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 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 $66.00 page report itself fundamental to the $56.00 page report is that journalists can be more dangerous than splice. obviously, the u. s. is prosecuting st. julian assange on that as being jack. this own secretary, secretary is backing a consultation document that suggests that journalists that much worse than spies flies after all, can work for one government or another government or one actor journals. if they

publish the material, everyone can see it. some journalists have to be claims done. that is seriously the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in a raising freedoms and rights of the free press here in this country. that have been, that have been created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act reform looks to be. china's largest city is bracing for a powerful storm which has already made and fall in the country. se some $360000.00 people in shanghai have been evacuated to safety after typhoon in far earlier had j zone with winds reaching over 100 kilometers per hour. or 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 train 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 in widespread destruction in central regions and authorities fear this latest typhoon could hinder rescue and recovery efforts that are still ongoing. the news. the news now, while some of the flooding has receded whole streets in some cities have been turned into rivers, 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, which 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 to politicians and climate experts claim, the government knew that the floods were coming but failed to one citizens. although officials do insist that the worst hit areas were alerted. either way, many are asking why it went so badly wrong with more. here's our europe corresponded, patrols is before the floods struck west in germany, belgium looks in bergen, the netherlands, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european float awareness system detected problems went 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. 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 and west in germany,

john langler merkel pledged more efforts to tackle the challenges 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. the policy that takes nature and climate into accounts more than we have done in recent years. even there had been warnings from the weather. in 2016 the river far 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 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 at them this time. and will lessons be learned from this tragedy patrol of all tea in cologne, germany. london has also been hit by heavy rain and thunder this weekend, turning key through waves into canals. the capitals fire brigade has reportedly already received more than 300 calls for help over the flooding. and there is extreme weather in the united states as well. 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 nor ways. beach handball team has been taking a stand against sexism in the sport and decided to get their bikini bottoms for shorts. thing it's not just the men who should be allowed to wear them, however,

it did land them with a very big fine or she's probably 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 for wearing shorts in a match recently instead of the regulation. teeny tiny breed. i'm while the old all that 3 rules mean that the norwegian beach space are obliged to strip down apparently the athlete code and lizzy, a brain has been told the short were too short a recon competition in the u. k. i. i suspect just kid. she's been that know, i've been concerned about binding had to 20. 21 is getting confusing. you got transgender wait, listed 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 region. the team actually be european handful federation for permission for playing shore, but the federation said no, they did it anyway. they was last with a fine. i have not been given a good reason. they just the telling us, this is the rule. the man get to play like this. the manager rules state that the breezy swimming chunk like short can finish 10 centimeters above the kneecap. while the women are obliged to have them 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 the calendar and view is watching the school when it be

hotter than that because it's always a summer very, some people at the university of alabama actually analyze the beach volleyball at the 2411. they found that 20 percent of the camera shot were tight shot of play is check. wow. and the sense of that camera braces. some of you. so the research has concluded, the visual coverage of the game, confirm that sex and sexuality, we use not only to promote the me, but to sell the school 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 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 african 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. and the conflict has not only claimed the lives of military but also civilians. according to the united nations, more than 100000, the afghans have fallen victim to the war since 2009. and that's not even the beginning of the more. it has also led to an ever increasing refugee crisis. michael maloof, a former pentagon senior security policy policy analyst, believe the airstrikes will have little effect in combating the telephone. well, i think it's a little too little to leave. the tele bomb 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, had advocated removing troops altogether 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 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 is already the world's richest man, but amazon founder jeff bezos has scaled to heights after blasting off into orbit in his new rocket. while the space is cool, it was a quick trip into space. the entire journey lasted just 10 minutes. the basis landing, safely back on earth. some though had wanted the billionaire to stay in space for good. an online petition objecting to his re entry back. racked up more than 150000

signatures, kill him up and asked new yorkers whether in an ideal world they would allow them back. we need them. yeah. 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 extreme. 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 focused on our population, not up there down here jeff days. those is not the only 1000000000 air 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 way here 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 to actually avoid paying taxes. many look at this and blame a 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 strong 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. why 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 mobile with earth, i mean over to an explain it 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. former employee, chris smalls heads the amazon labor union and told us why ordinary workers see this kind of space adventure as disrespectful. after 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 work is that i'm organizing, we're outside of staten island are they didn't take it well as either i guess his 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 and it's a fight for health care and benefits that benefit workers. we know people to 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 use a sad thing without your ceo, which is mentioned in that we pay for it. after years of contention, us has finally ditched its efforts to stop the construction of the north stream to pipeline. now 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 consisting 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. us in germany deal means supplies will be able to bypass ukraine, but it's not entirely out of pocket key gets $175000000.00 for infrastructure development. and the current trends 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, for the us pleasures 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 nord stream to pipeline poses a threat to both us and use security. you told this committee that you believed at the north stream to pipeline would have disastrous effects on us 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 nordstrom to violated basic international legal principles. each of them, i get the impression that it's the u. s. diffusing as energy policy further, it's interesting to i don't think russia gas is a little tool or weapon in the gas conflict around your brain, boil 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 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 prevailed in the end and the pipeline will be completed. it represents

a victory of sense and loss rather than that of food 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 me. accumulations 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 eastern russia, emergency workers are engaged in an ongoing struggle. battling fierce wire fires a disastrous mix of record heat, and not much rain has contributed to the extraordinary intensity of the fire. the authorities have even deployed fire service paratroopers to get the situation under control. the

who's the 1st of all, when you're one on one with the point you feel the heat seriously, you feel anxious. well, and then you can get injured because you're jumping onto unprepared areas. first, it's 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 repel from the helicopter to a site. the most important thing is that you save nature or with the the situation is very serious. you find this where the conditions do not allow us to put out fires

as quickly as we would like. these wildfires are very difficult to fight as mere complicated with mountains and wind, but it's possible to fight through if you persevere the city one minutes, that's when i will be back with another look at your weekly. this is our to international. stay with us the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck, rather than fear take on various jobs with artificial intelligence,

we'll summoning the demon a robot must protect its own existence with existence. my name is jason webber, but you can 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 boots and flicking mud all over the floor. and he just like he was king of the world winning thought he was aggressive. even at that time as far as.
