me ah, the ah, japanese rugs by a massive explosion that an industrial park housing, chemical company's environmentalist, concerned about the huge blue in the black smoke that's been created for the potential talk since released yet to be determined. the plans for the new law restricting travel and entry to public places for people without so. busy names coded passports, devices among businesses in the public and in london, christian for each reporter the converted. busy from is lobbies started high boats, famous speakers corner. the media though, mainly focuses on what she was wearing. all the cities doesn't even acknowledge the

incident. ah, they're very good entity and thanks for joining us. some extra certainly cool. shouldn't and stay at home. the warning to the people in and around the german city of labor crews and where a massive explosion is told through an industrial park of chemical companies. this 5th talk since have been released into the environment. solvents and burns including those containing chlorine. but we haven't yet made an accurate analysis in cooperation with city authorities. we call a local residence to exercise caution. when going outside, we ask people to pay particular attention to any abnormal fallout. we've established hot lines, which residents can call report any sightings. don't try to remove any such precipitation,

stay away from it. the authorities will remove it and take it in for testing. this analysis might take a few days. we call on people to exercise patience and caution. as for the cause, we cannot talk about that at this point as the emergency services are still looking for the missing. and hence we cannot as of yet conduct any analysis at the site. it's non going search and rescue operation. hence, we cannot hold any discussions regarding the cause of the supplies. so now we call on people to stay at home and keep the windows and doors shops. i thought 3 people now have been confirmed dead. the death toll is growing. 16 people have been injured and 4 people remain missing. authorities of war in the public, the situation poses, well, they've called an extreme threat. electricity's been cut self to ensure the safety of emergency workers at the side. locals have been advised to stay in doors, turn off, air conditioning, and windows and doors closed. it was like no squeak. the whole house shook.

we were scared. i live in reserve 200 meters away. main roads around the side have been close to drive has been told to avoid the area. meanwhile, and information hotline has been opened up to address any public concerns with the latest. here is peter oliver. well, the whole area around the city of labor crews and in north run, west valley or in the, the west of germany is well, the roads, the whole area is old, closed down, there are reports of sirens going off, not only in the city of live, accused but also near by towns anecdotally, i've been told the town of sali, the city is told again. here people hearing sirens then being told, stay inside, get inside a building close windows and doors. while the emergency service is trying to determine if there is any risk from this explosion, we seem from the pictures, the huge plume of smoke that rose up it is covering

a large area. now what we've heard from ken park, which is the body which operates this, this facility in live occasion is that at around 940 on tuesday morning and explosion took place the residence of lever cruz and are asked to go to close the rooms, turn off air conditioning and as a precaution, keep windows and doors closed. several employees are injured in the events, at least 2 of them seriously. they are currently receiving medical treatment. 5 employees are currently missing. police of other emergency services. calling for those on the highways around the area to pull into one side of the other to create a rescue. gates, as they call here in germany, to allow more emergency services to arrive on the theme of their off test being carried out on the air in the immediate vicinity and also in the surrounding area as well. this is germany's most populous area,

or it's most it's area of dentist population as well. the area of north ryan with folly. you've got and labor crews in cologne, dusseldorf, all of those major congregations, all in a very tightly packed area. so for, for this to have happened in this region, it will affect a lot of people in the road that they said going into lay the cruise and completely closed off right now. in fact, i'll be heading off to that area. as soon as i'm done talking to you right now, we'll be getting as close to become finding out exactly what is happening on the scene. there are the citing questions. one of the biggest chemical parks in europe . her 30000 people are employed that well than 5000 chemicals manufactured on the location, including the tracing chemicals they use for the production of explosives. contaminated hazardous waste is also handled on site. let us get some analysis now mr. dr. sharon george, who's

a senior lecturer in environmental sustainability and green technology kuni invest in the k. welcome doctor. i mean, we are at this point, we don't know exactly the chemicals that are being talked about in theory though, potentially how big or an issue could this be in terms of environmental damage? and the potential is huge. it's not just the issue, but the contamination that you can see is that contamination that you can't see. and this is this, the, what the black note that you can see is particular that is gonna travel quite a distance from the side to so with, with event. so i think what we're concerned about, he's not just the immediate, the immediate range. and this is why this is significant to because it's close to the populated area. so we can have this coalition spread in a long way back to the i don't going to be a gas in the,

the people who are using. and also the way when you do that, so it may then move again, soluble way, and then the travel again. the challenge here is, is to figure out exactly what is being displaced and, and then to figure out how to contain it. and as to make sure they are not habits to people and one to one. and a lot of calls to seniors that you have with disburse or comes a reduction in the concentration at the these houses. so the 3rd way, the law firms from these have the less of a hospital. and the more that you can shoot yourself away from, from the, the bank by shifting windows and changing things back at conditioning. that, that pipe the and she have than, than the safety you off. and so they says, it has no fault in situation that this is fascinating to just to have analysis of

this. and i'm sure, the only one this is news to you, we're talking about, you know, the smoke that you can say. pasta. think particularly, you said, does this mean that people may think, okay, i'll keep away from that dark cloud i see in the sky. i'm going to be ok, but from what you're saying, it sounds like that's absolutely not necessarily the case. well, no, i think the advice i think the danger is that people kind of, he the 5 yang show you when they stay away from it. and then if they say, well i can't see the cloud spending. okay. well, no, actually she followed the advice and they give particular yet they think about a chemical. if you can smell something, i can click on necessarily see, but it can travel quite a long way. and so, you know why you seem to do is just to follow the advice. and in terms of pollution, you took to build a little bit about that. now as understand, the location of this incident is close to the river, right?

so presumably that she's potential for pollution that right? yeah. and this is the problem with all pollution is not just what it how it travels and how it's transported so that you have got this issue. if something is soluble, even if it's not fully bought. com, so if you want to travel. and so here you've got the potential for pollution to travel around, i exacerbated by the fact that you've got a population density. you think that you can critical challenge to the emergency service isn't supposed to call the priorities to just figure out what level of habit that people are facing. and as we know, we don't know what the chemicals are yet, but you talked about the spread there. so that could be via the at that carried by

the wind. it could be in the water is carried through along the river. right. it could be seeping into the ground. it does this mean that there's a potential for long term damage or do you think this is something that could be cleaned up? most of the damage kind of prevented short term. i think most of the damage will be will be sorted out. sure. and just looking at the images and the, the right on seeing everything that is shopping being dawn. and then we have such a large area and pollution jose, you know, what will travel, but it all depends on, on what a sometimes as well you see big please of black smoke. and we can party can think that that's the worst thing, but quite often you can just be caught in this quite unique and harmlessly until we know exactly what,

what is the needs of people piney until until we know exactly what yeah. good point. really fascinating analysis. thanks so much for sharing your expertise with my guest. talked to sharon george senior lecturer and environmental sustainability in green technology t case keel university. thanks so much. no, no. the news, no entry with other covered health pass. that's the new law that's been approved by the french parliament. civil, restrict access to crowded public areas and travel. comes to local authorities, say that the country struggling with a full waive pandemic. 125000 cases have been registered in just the last few days . so the dubious key takes us through how the public is reacting to these controversial measures in a few days time. if you don't have a house pass, you simply won't be able to do this. yeah, she was on a not regulation is already in for

a cultural institutions that will not be extended to the venue to the new law also requires all health care workers to be vaccinated against koby. 9 team is pe suspension without pe, president macro and says she refused to be a no q lated. all selfish, prove what is your freedom worth? if you say to me, i don't want to be vaccinated, but tomorrow you in fact your father, your mother, for me, one in i think theme is that he is not the only one while more than a 160000 people rose up in anger again the controversial health passed failing from it's now being approved with poll, suggesting that the majority of people actually support the idea not got given right for people to infect others. and if you do not want to get vaccinated, i'd like to do it. most of us actually realize that such a thing is a med medical size exists and the father being pretty stupid, but it's your choice,

but don't, don't fix, don't others? finally, on vaccination and on the vaccine pulse, i think the president is 100 percent. right. that being said, you're looking for a job to around $6000000.00 have signed up to be knocked, elated since these plans are moved in just 2 weeks ago. the french things are not ready to give up. there. you do the, however, no pool has gone exactly the government's way. there was fee is opposition to the health pass. that made its way through the french parliament, echoing concerns about the religion of civil liberties. still wrong, not to get vaccinated, but the health paths is an aberration because either we do it for one or we don't do it at all. and for now we do nothing projective. and the law is rather a directive and it doesn't give much choice. so it forces the community to have

a common sense of purpose. i don't think it's liberty. right. right now it's not really france that is governing things. it's not the president of the republic in europe, which is at present doing that was to see if she knew i'm vaccinated, but i'm not convinced everyone should be obligated to have this health passport. others have said they are prepared to fight, don't defend their right to truth whether or not to be vaccinated. while over 6000 businesses have registered their intent, not to all the people to show their health. as for me on but can they did is my choice. i'm not imposing it on anyone lecturing anyone about it. i'll always reject any mandate that the cafe work into a police officer or health inspector pres the macro. you're messing with elements, you won't be able to control. i refused to be a policeman. i run a beast drove even the police don't want to enforce your orders as cars. but all 4th wave of the corona virus pandemic. many believe vaccination and controls on

those who refuse one all the only way forward. while it's south africa, there's been a sharp spiking coven cases right in the wake of recent riots and looting grips upon the country. the health care system. there is a huge pressure after supplies of vaccines and a number of pharmacies were destroyed in that unrest will be breaking down the situation for a little later. this fall that a woman believe to be a vocal critic of islam has been started in london. the incident occurred at hyde parks, famous speakers corner, her injuries are not said to be life threatening. nonetheless, you may find this video coming up disturbing it is the photo is showing a large group of people gathered in the park, the victim. okay, towards the back of a man dressed in black as seen violently striking the woman while the authorities and major major alice didn't name the victim all,

give any specific details. blockers and activists, they have identified the risk 39 year old hatton tash. she said to fled turkey after renouncing islam christianity she was regularly seeing preaching in hyde park previous. the woman was escorted by the lease from the park over fear of attacks against her. and she was even banned from speaker's corner, following a number of threats. one thing that hasn't gone unnoticed is it that the time that this attack she was wearing your shalley, i don't t shit. now the front stick magazine, of course, was in the spotlight many times because of its characters. one of the tried the prophets mohammed and it led to a series of deadly islamist attacks in 2015, but hershey on this occasion didn't depict the profit instead and showed a kiss. between a cartoonist and a muslim preacher, the caption love is stronger than hate. went to the media coverage so there's other focus solely on the fact that she was wearing a shadow should all that it was a woman attacked in hyde park, while london's mass been criticized for not even acknowledging the incident. if

a woman is tapped in hyde park and mayor of london sunday, con, doesn't mention, it didn't even happen. so city con, i thought speakers corner was a place where debate and critique could take place freely. why haven't you condemned the atrocious stabbing in the park yesterday? a little quiet on this latest london standing said, you can please london a warning against making any premature conclusions about the reason behind the study. i would of people not to speculate on the motive for the attack until we have established the full effects from a metropolitan police officer. basically, kimberly is an acrostic, and so rampant in london. the non fatal attack on sunday fell to draw much attention. let alone shock. i think this incident is something that the media would normally be expected to carry in some detail in some prominence and says, fortunately, the case has

a significant increase in the number of serious stuff. and i know the murders in the last few years. and so for a more serious offenses, the national, serious incidents and this and i'm calling in place. and so where there are not life threatening injuries, something that's described as a minor slash trained, reported perhaps the media wouldn't normally now be able to carry that and it doesn't make the grade as it is also the issue is who else is getting a bit about this the public to no longer show just what we've got, the situation where the desks in, murders are increasing. and so the non fatal stabbings a being pushed even further of the agenda. the politicians. also,

they do not seem to be taking the seriously and to be frank, they haven't taken it seriously right from the start. last week, america experienced an instance of gun violence every 12 minutes. according to latest data, 915 shootings reported across the country between just saturday july 17th and the subsequent friday. those incidents claimed the lives of 430 people more than a 1000. others were left winded researches from the nonprofit gun violence archive said the day to clearly indicate this growing problem. and the americans are worried about the situation and no longer feel safe. i mean, it concerns me because i live in a very small last upper west side and i am sometimes fearful when i'm coming home. if it's late at night, you know, i know people are meeting their necessities and you know, they may try to contact me. so, you know,

i just try to stay safe here with my pick her st. so lonely at a cousin of mine walking on madison avenue about 11 o'clock at night. the other day he'd mention. and there was nobody there. madison avenue and the and the upper roads in the seventy's street was empty. they're doing whatever they can to get money. i wouldn't be out at night anymore. and i've lived here i was born here in 1943. and this is a terrible thing to be happening in this city that you have to fear to be out after dawn. i think it is travis, for where, like in chicago area like, oh, don't kill things unless she is death toll from gun crimes in america reset to shanta last year's record about 43000 people were killed by firearms in america and 2020. that was the highest number for 2 decades. so bought and discuss the issued

and interviewed last week, re asserted more police and needed to combat the problem. cops are having real trouble, they're not all bad guys. there's a lot of good guys. we need more policeman, not fewer policemen. we need them involved in community policing by and also said he never supported the funding. the police there last summer he backed re directing some funding to different programs such as mental health care. the death of george floyd in police custody last year triggered nationwide protests which escalated schools to defun. the police progressive lawmakers within the democratic party still storage. the support that idea. we discuss the issue with the retard and y p, the deputy inspector. i think that the united states is approaching gun control of the wrong way. number one is the 2nd amendment direct to arms is the constitutional right. it's not going away. so they're not going to get anything

change with the 2nd amendment. so they've got to think outside of the box and do something different. i propose that america. if you can't legislate, been guns, guns don't kill people bullies. do so start legislating the bullets the left and the right can't. they can't even come to the member or talk. we can't have all of these people shots and nobody's know anything about it. so they don't want the, in our re, which is the national rifle association, americans very strong, big libraries. they're not going to take the gun away. so you got a legislative component. i think that's the only thing that we have to do. we need trained offices that know how to smell ignite, that, you know, know when somebody's going to be involved in those community, get deep into the community. but that's going to take a long time. you need a quick fix right now. we need to start legislation and bullish. in the wake of recent riot sandra, who is now recruiting a peking coven cases, despite the government pushing people to wear masks and get vaccinated. their huge

hesitancy in the country, wirelessly reports alexandra, a township and johanna this week to the court, a ticking bomb by the south african human rights commission. crampton, overcrowded high levels of unemployment, and at the same time, a lack of basic service delivery. add to that effect, that social distance thing is impossible because very often large families live in chapter one room and people say coming out washing faces. and it's no surprise that south africa account for nearly 40 the thing of corona virus related dick in africa . the reason why i'm not reading much now is because i just live across the street . is i want to see a boy soldier coming. i'll be running out to say to a mexican company big. i don't really see if it's not doing anything for us. and i don't know if that's the sort of i've been sometimes if it's difficult to be doing. good me. good. if i that doesn't i'm

from the help. we know the young, wild in free food is just and because the becky don't social distance is so small and a lot of the abort. according to the health ministry, the country just passed the peak of its food waves, which alone left more than 2000000 people. infected that the country is not yet out of the woods. as the reason why it's so masses of people coming together around $47500.00 cove at $900.00 vaccines will last in the recent and raised more than a 100 private pharmacies were damaged, including 71 destination site. many of those who have been arrested in connection with the unrest have tested positive for cove at 19. the government is urging those who participated in the looting squeeze to get tested for covert. the chances are

they won't and for being a wasted if they say the way they seen. i'm wondering about the only people here with a mosque and even though i have received t jad, they all concerned that the coming back to mason programmed on the market, do not work against the south african very and hospitals are struggling and misinformation is waiting confident in the virus itself, just another problem, the south african government has to tackle at the deals of the aftermath of the worst and waste it had faced in decades. policy a r t. alexandra marlyn says the reps it into is here to the president sacked the prime minister and suspended parliament, fully launch street demonstrations that been growing anger over huge spiking code cases in the governance handling of the pandemic. as well as economic troubles, the presidents of voters greeted them with cries of joy. his opponent serv accused him of a power graham. the

me with the the president's now announced a month long few and the found on gatherings more than 3 people in public places. on sunday he said that he would see the executive authority on govern alongside a new foreign minister. in the spring, the country have been dubbed a benchmark for democracy, trying to assess is what went wrong if there was an award for an arab spring success story, denisia, despite being the neighbor of field state libya, would surely be on the short list of nominees. right,

it's not being destroyed by civil war again, like libya next door in 2015 for tenicia and civil society groups won the nobel peace prize for, quote unquote, a decisive contribution to the building of a democracy. but 60 years on 10 years after the arab sprang, swept north africa and the middle east, there's a sense of street violence as to the focal point has been the countries crumbling health care system which has contributed to one of the highest per capita coven 19th death. rates, but it's not just a corona virus that has left many feeling ill. many people who are deceived by hypocrisy, territory, and robbery of the rights of the people. i warn the any who think of results into weapons and whoever shoots a that the armed forces will respond with bulus. tunisia is facing the biggest

crisis in a decade of democracy. after president chi, saeed ousted the government and froze the activities of the parliament widely seen as unconstitutional because of side stay. you are a limited powers, his suppose labeled the move, a qu, that should be opposed, but his position remains strong thanks to the support of the armed forces. troops have prevented lawmakers from convening, which gave the parliament speaker appetite for some strong language. these decisions are not supported by the law or the constitution and we are very disgruntled by them. it's a crew against the constitution, against the revolution and a coup against the public and civil liberties. we consider the institutions to still be standing and supporters of another and the juniors in people will defend the revolution. and not her is the moderate islamists ruling party which rose to power as a result of the arab spring. but the current political crisis may see it lose most

of its political gains of the past decade. putting tunisia at the crossroads, once again. the question is, has the country experience a power grab by the president or just a temporary shake up to get the nation back on track? the handling of the over 90 has been at the topic which made things worse. and it was almost like the last shore for years now, the situation been going on from bad to worse, as i think there is a lot of disappointment in the political belief and more, you have to know that unity can, is a revolution. was that by the young people they believed in the revolution the beginning, but the government, namely, more specifically in the government, has not deliberate since they took the power. and the economic ration has gone. you know, some back to work with the corona virus situation unlikely to be resolved in the

near future. and the rival political camps giving up to energize st. support. things are more than just dangerous and uncertain. and no peace awards or arab spring track record will help when the nation has all but lost its nerve. you'll be drank o r t number here today to appreciate a company here in 19 to national and don't forget check out, do other new stories that can fit in here. we've got them all squeezed in on a website, go to all to you. don't call me i for all of you out there that regret not being around the soviet union at the time with their.
