even further the the, the ah, the toll of tuesday's explosion of the chemical factory in germany is expected to rise with the official saying that little hope that the missing will be found alive . ecuador revokes, shooting a song, you citizenship over 2 years off that he was forced to be removed by british police from the country's embassy in london, we speak to his lawyer, told me to go to bridge. this was deliberately wrong, illegal, unjust, and contrary to the constitution and human rights, the trial against the phones is a political one. and things are getting heated at the limbic size russian tennis thought. the new mon face challenges during a press conference, but the question more about the politics,

the sport ah . life for most good. thanks for joining us tonight. it's going to international. i'm daniel wilkins with util. sunrise. welcome to the program. now there is little hope for that. the 5 people still missing off an explosion of the chemical plant in germany on tuesday will be found the life of according to the company that runs the plant. 2 people are confirmed dead and more than 30 injured or to speak to oliver reports from the side. crenza the company that operates the chemical park just behind me, where the explosion and subsequent fire took place on tuesday. say that it started in amongst tanks, containing between 60900000 liters of industrial solvent. the investigation is on the way to try and find out how this was able to happen. a

blessed which is claimed, a number of lives and left dozens injured, be colossal, smoke cloud to towering hundreds of meters into the sky. the waste incineration facilities right next to downtown lay the truth and over 160000 people live in the city. i spoke to some who told me they were genuinely frightened by this explosion and the potential for what the aftermath could have brought. seconds. it was terrible. i was very scared. i live nearby and i could see everything from my balcony. my windows were rattling from the blast at the start. there was incredibly frightened. then i saw the white cloud at 1st. i thought it was a tornado. i was worried. we'll live here. we know what they make and store here. and there are dangerous chemicals in sight. and it was about 945, we were in our apartment when we heard a lot extreme, loud bang, which i did was a container being dropped from a nearby construction side. and people came out of the store here. everyone was

very concerned. yeah. first we didn't see anything, but just 10 minutes later there was a huge cloud towering over the town. i saw the cloud moving away from the city so that made me less worried. nevertheless, we took precautions, shut our windows and doors, and all other common sense measures. while initial testing is showing no elevator levels of pollution in the air, checks will continue on samples from air land. uneven rain was falling from clouds in contact with the smoke. according to the state environmental agency, there is no longer any pollution of the air. we have sued precipitation in different parts of the city. the state environmental agency. 2 examples on our behalf took samples there to be evaluated. the results are not yet available until then what we have already said applies. do not eat anything that is covered and suit and ensure that what is already on the floor is not moved. then we are relatively safe. as a precaution,

we have closed the playground and the effected part of the city holy particles about the size of the euro coin being deposited on some nearby neighborhoods. there strict rules remain in place on what you must not do until samples can be thoroughly examined. and tested to see if that dangerous leader of the state of northrop with follies and men in the running to the next chancellor of germany, arm and lush. it has expressed his condolences to the families of the killed and praised the heroism of rescue workers. it's just a couple of weeks since the state and the west of germany was among the areas battered by lethal flooding. one of the big tufts now is to make sure that there is no long lasting effect from this tragic disaster. both he in the immediate area further afield, feature all of our r t in labor cruise in western germany. i could all has revoked student and saw

your citizenship saying his original application contained mistakes and that he never actually pay the fees a song. his current in the u. k. jail awaiting a decision on a us extradition request. in 2019 police extricated, implement ecuador, and embassy in london, where he claimed asylum. we spoke to his lawyer who says equity with decisions is shipping off, his citizenship is illegal. the name of this was developing according to a pre plan scenario. after i saw last his diplomatic asylum, former ecuador, imprison lenny moreno needed to somehow justify the invasion of british police at the embassy. and the only possibility was just to deprive julius orange of ecuador instead isn't ship, which is against that door in legislation. so it would be a good or in foreign ministry, cancel the san jose naturalization, so that the bridge is please, could enter the embassy. they needed to show that he was not in ecuador incentives, and at the time since the ecuadorian constitution prohibits the extradition of its citizens to a 3rd country. this was deliberately wrong, a legal, unjust,

and contrary to the constitution and human rights, they simply followed this unworthy scenario, thereby exposing ecuador in the extremely unfavorable light. the tron against the phones is a political one. not only that in the decision to revoke us on just citizenship, they rely solely on a report verified by a former state official who's currently accused of corruption and atrocities underway against it. they 6 of the tokyo olympics and the pressures rising rush and tennis thought. any with better flashed out of the question during a press conference if you was unwarranted and inappropriate right off to his latest . when susan said, just keep the story. he would think that the olympic games of something only about sports where the athletes have been preparing for all their lives to take part in this ultimate event for many athletes across the world. but this time it's starting very political. every time an athlete from russia is appearing at

a press conference or after winning a medal a he or she is being tested with questions about the doping scandals of the past and about why russia is allowed to participate in the olympics at all. so was the case of worlds. number 2 in tennis, then you'll meet the idea of who just won his game and unbearably hot conditions. it was very humid and very, very hot on the court. he almost collapsed at one point even, and the questions were directed to him were not about the situation. he faced all that court. but one journalist came over and asked whether mitigate, felt that russia's participation in the olympics was cheating in itself. madrid came up with a very sharp response. first time in my life, i'm not gonna answer a question. you should be embarrassed of herself. i think you should wire him from the olympics. i don't want to see him again. the international tennis federation responded that it will lot ban this journalist that a journalists have the right to off questions. but speaking of the question,

this is not the 1st time this is happening. as i said to athletes representing russia, media, just call it john of also said the same that he's been tested with questions about the doping scandals of the past. and i'd like to remind you of you with that russia participation in the tokyo olympics. this time is very much limited because of the doping scandals of the path because the world anti doping agency, effectively band, russia and it's symbolic. strom taking part in major competitions across the planet for 4 years. russia won the appeal in the cost in the court for arbitration of sports, and thus the country was allowed to take part in the olympics under the name r o c. this is an acronym for the russian olympic committee, but even that name and full cannot be used. it's just r o c. and this is something that russian athletes and the russian olympic committee have been observing since day one of the olympic games. even the opening rest conference at the tokyo olympics, it last about an hour 20 minutes long,

45 minutes of which were dedicated to rushes. participation on a different name in the olympic games this time. and despite all that, despite all this pressure coming from all side, because not only kind of plant, but obviously the athletes and all other disciplines are being asked questions like that, trying to ignore them all the time. despite all that, russia or the r o c. if you may, is performing very well right now. it stands for, and the overall metal stable nearing on its 20th metal, in the olympics in day 6. and that is something that's many journalists, particularly those sports related, not politics related, cannot avoid. and they note that russia is performing, or the r o c is performing very well at the olympics. well, that wasn't the only reason. some people focus is shifting away from the actual sport at these games themes, us a most decorated human us. some mon bylaws hit the headlines withdrawing from the competition ahead of the file around due to mental health concern. yeah,

i say put mental health 1st, because if you don't then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. so it's ok sometimes the even set out the big competition to focus on yourself because it shows how strong of a competitor person that you really are rather than just battle through it. while says she started shaking hours before the competition prompted her. it's hello coach, she couldn't carry on the fun resulted in the us team taking home silva. he made some other us sports figures appraised while bravery and besides mental health. the games have also stroke spotlights on sexism and german. female gymnastic team shows full body utah's. instead of the more traditional bikini, leotard decision was made to progress the $600.00 ation of athletes. my colleague will receive a discuss increasing attention being paid at the tokyo olympics to non sporting issues with a panel of guess whole issue of uniform. and the sexualization of women has to go

quite soon and it can be so very simply, he just say, here are the uniformed men and women, no different, obviously, to preserve modesty in swim web. we have to have little bit to difference here and there. but in the main women cricketers play in the same uniforms as mel cricketers as i do the same in football on all of the sports. exactly the same and quite agree that the germans have made a legitimate protest here. if they want to play performing unit towards, that's perfectly or i by may certainly some culture don't feel very comfortable wearing the kind of clothes that we consider normal. so we do a bit of a problem. on the one hand, the olympics is designed to extol abuse in the professional human body operating at peak efficiency. so it's there to be admired. well, the other hand, we have contributed lympics, who may feel uncomfortable with that being

a limb. in particular, maybe there's a case for some element of choice, but at the same time we don't want to lose the essence of what they're lympics is one of the biggest things about the pattern and your skills isn't actually, and that's what you're judging. not charging the uniform and what, what people don't realize the sex libation of women when they can be very self conscious when wearing we're beating clothing which might actually performance. so really, if we really care about the school and the miss gale, we should allow them to feel confident in what they are wearing. are you afraid perhaps that non sport issues or political ones in particular for example, that could become main talking points in the future olympics? no, i'm not worried. i think it's, like i said, i think is a great opportunity. we've seen so many changes already, and i'm not worried, i still feel like eventually it will kind of not slide down, but we will respect respect. but for now i'm happy to different lympics. let's put it that way. everyone watching on tv and watching, you know,

68 tests and see the stadium with every state they can't. i can't pretend them enjoying it as much as i do. other olympics i have to say, but you know, sport is to be enjoyed by everyone. and i suppose we have to contend to sell millions of viewers watching tv all over the world. do you think political connotations and virtual signaling? perhaps, according to some might, might take center stage and future olympics. and should that be a concern? well, it should be concerned because we don't want to be just a vehicle for the latest. 5 that comes along lympics should represent social mores as they change, but in eastern preventive own century old brand, it needs to keep, continue to keep that wow fight. so that we have when we see the olympics of it with their own specific procedures and, and, and habits and ways. and that's the beauty olympics, that's what we want to save. we don't want to make it too temporary to trans. yeah . and just this waveform insane. the mental health issue of simone biles. so she

withdrew. i mean it's not coming up very, very difficult decision for gigi think perhaps she's set an example. i'm guessing the balls is cognizant of a song experience and felt that her, her game wasn't exactly right to me. clearly she was way, way off her peak the 1st couple of days of competition. and so she decided to pull out, i think a bit of an irony though, you know, rory here. the fact that she has withdrawn has bull further attention to her. i mean, if she sort of quietly underperformed and, and perhaps explained to the media that she does, this is just one of those events. she can't be her pick all the time and then quietly slipped away. fine. but she really has made an announcement him put mental health health back on the map. again. i think it's an important one that don't run

away with the idea that i don't think this, but young people in sport today are subjected to the most intense pressure to perform at that time to come speak about the topic, especially with that with, with the whole thing about the mental issue is a topic has had such as the years and only recently are we thought that people have mental health and i think they lympics is a path to examples why not expect. i really feel like you said, especially in, in can say they think they really try years and years and they carry the country on the shoulder is okay, has to be okay. i have mental health, i'm not gonna be home. and if she can't do it now and pay for the young people that might be in the pressure than when, when else would be able to do it, the wide range of issues that are being now throwing up at these games. does it suggest perhaps that athletes concerns are only being taken seriously when it's too late? that raising a concern at a grand event like this? well, that's the way it gets more attention than anywhere else. i mean, the,

i think we need to keep our eye on what the lympics is about. it's supposed to be an event which comes along every 4 years where the people who participate in oper pay both mentally and physically. i mean, the whole word olympians implies a level of a peak performance mentally and physically which is beyond most of the rest of us. so i think that if, if there are these issues we've been, if they were applied to hurley though the importance of mental health issue obviously shouldn't be underestimated about perhaps putting that on to the lympics as well as perhaps too much is a sporting event. it should be kept as a sporting event. if one is not ready for one really shouldn't be there. you can only find out sometimes that you're not ready for it when you're there already, in which case we have the person respect. as in the case of an biles, she don't deserve it because it can be an easy decision for her coming up president brought in and q, who's russia of planning to interfere in a 2022 congress elections by spreading this information correspondent in flames.

what's behind this story after the break? the o. i is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? type relation for community. you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? which direction? 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, join me every thursday on the alex, silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the in the moon, the ah, welcome back, chicago man, laurie lightfoot says she isn't sorry for decision to give into use only to non want reporters adding it has triggers a much needed debate. i would absolutely do it again. i'm an apologetic about it because it's 3rd, a very important conversation. the conversation that needed to happen that should have happened a long time ago. the matter also noted that media conference is dominated by what

reporters and says it's high time outlets better reflect the makeup of american society. she's being sued of us, dance for reporter, for the daily la thomas. nazi argues that she's von a thing. basic principles of freedom of the press. what is not the 1st time chicago's chicago managed to come on to 5 for her racial policies? last month, life declared racism of public health crisis and round to allocate nearly $10000000.00 of cobra relief money to improve the wellness of non what communities in chicago, the executive director of, and hyphenated america. christopher harris says, democrats like to play the racial card to distract people from their own failures. walk agenda is nothing more than smoke and mirrors is a smoke screen just to distract people from all the other things that are taking place. it's a pop prosy. we can just run on down the line, all the people out there, whether it's the elected officials like laurie lightfoot,

or other people in the media who are out there trying to gin up race wars and all that is a slight of hand to try to, to just to distract you from the things that are not working with their public policies and look at the results. the black community or somebody say the african american community is one of the ones that suffers the most by continuing to vote for people like laurie lightfoot in for the party that she represents. because it just leads to more swirling around the toilet. that's essentially what ends up happening in the black community news snapshot from around the world now thought him a turkey where tourists were able to witness a giant smoke cloud rising. i bought one of the beaches and i'm talia wildfire schooling. it led to 4 neighborhoods being evacuated and russia was also battling for us. find the scene here or from its northern region of cordelia. as you can see, it's blanketed with small and has been now for a week. an area over 150 square kilometers is affected with a state of emergency declared a criminal strongly refuted claims by

us president joe biden, that russia engine is doing to fear in the 2022 congress elections. the russian president, spokesman has also said moscow and washington can hardly be called partners today. russia has never interfered in us electrical processes. the results of many investigations conducted in the u. s. confirm that russia certainly does not, and has no intention of meddling in any electoral processes in foreign states. if you haven't noticed, it's hardly possible to cold russia and the u. s. partners now rather there are opponents with whom we negotiate. i mean, it seems like never ending deja vu to be honest, we have another us election here and more baseless accusations of russian meddling . i mean, we heard from moscow, they outright rejected those claims because the only thing we have to go by with them is basically biden's word. i think we also need to take on the rapid disinformation. russia is doing already about the 2022 elections and miss

information to pure a violation of our sovereignty. barton was apparently given this information by the us intelligence community, as at his daily meeting. again, without any evidence that we know of at least it's being claimed that russia is intent on meddling and in the u. s. mid term elections that are going to take place next year. now at that time, the entire house of representatives and a 3rd of the senate are going to be up for grabs. so that really makes you think, you know, it's going to take a lot for someone to see her radically rig elections on a scale like that. you know, but anyway, but, and also specifically called our president russian president vladimir putin. so let's take a listen to what he said when i was with mister prudent, who has a real problem. he is he sitting on top of an economy that has nuclear weapons and oils and nothing else. he knows, he knows he's in real trouble,

which makes me more dangerous. in my view, this pretty weird biden would say that though, because washington, i mean, has nearly the same amount of nuclear weapons as russia does, making it just as dangerous as moscow in that department. so why is russia and trouble, i mean, the entire situation really just seems like hostile rhetoric coming from across the atlantic, and it's very timely as well. because remember, just last month there was a summit between joe biden and vladimir putin. a lawyer. we discuss funds in situations with karen, joe and i was senior advisor for the 2016 trump campaign. and journalist and commentator shanwick more. he's trying to get attention away from crumbling things happening in this country. if you want to talk about geopolitical adversaries. whereas china and i don't think many americans see russia as a threat, nor would they like to see russia as a threat. but of course, when, when is approval lighting the new poking out today, it's the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. so of course, he's deflecting and why not be reliable boogeyman from

a cold war era and go back to russia. what's really interesting is, we don't know what is russian medley or interfering? what is this misinformation campaign? and who decides what is real information? and what is false information, anything that already doesn't like misinformation. and so if the, whether you're trying to rather just use whether you're trying to, to get up the base, whether he's trying to prepare for massive loss in 2022 and something to blame it on is unclear. it's bizarre rhetoric, there's no evidence, no one buying the rush or hopes anymore. i think this is coming from the fact that the democrats know that they are going to lose lose badly in the 2022 elections were here because they don't have the right. so in order to win election, they either have to cheat steel. why or blame a foreign nation for whatever defeats they know there that are coming their way in 2022. i think this is a precursor to try to do damage control. you have to remember in 2016,

the democrats cried foul with regard to donald trump. hurrying his place at the white house whenever they lose election, it's throwing out these, these curve balls as to foreign intervention. wes efforts and i've got to san raphael, according to russian defense minister. he was speaking in the meeting of the shanghai corporation organization, which brings together top military officials from your asian country, including china and india. ought easy to. but frank has been keeping on the high profile gathering and managed to speak exclusively. the minister himself where in the capital of ticket stand just to the north of again its stand where as a result of a swift pull out by the us led coalition, the crisis is deteriorating. day by day, the taliban is pretty much in control of the entire country apart from the couple region and this could easily spill over the border. now,

as the russian minister of defense was meeting his counterparts from the neighboring countries here induce on bear, he blamed the us for the situation that's getting increasingly dangerous. the hasty withdrawal of us and nato troops create lots of problems. we are aware of the ongoing robust work aimed at providing security on the border, which is currently a hot bed for many risks, threats and challenges. if you look at the map of again, if then you will see that it is surrounded by countries that are russian allies from 2 different blocks. one is made out of post to be countries. and the other one is brushes. alliance with china, together with some of the different neighbors. now, what moscow wants to do is to reassure its neighbors that it is ready to help at any time if the situation gets worse. moscow has a military base here and to just near to somebody that is ready for action at any

time. the other thing that russia wants to do is to cement it's key role in the region, which doesn't make the us happy. as i've heard when i spoke exclusively to the head of the russian army here and do some, make sure plenty of record be of the management of the u. s. withdrawal is kind of where everyone is taking place. indeed, some of the tiniest lead the u. s. is holding talks with all the countries adjacent to afghanistan on establishing certain logistical hubs on the territories. it begs the question, what's the point of putting out well remaining on the border? the answer is obvious. it's an attempt to retain its position in the central asian region, are to failing absolutely everything in afghanistan when it comes to instability. after the u. s. give me at least one example where the situation has been improved after a long running us presence. now here's a fact for you when more than 25 years ago, circ a showing was the head of rushes, emergencies, ministry. he was in charge of an entire operation of rescuing refugees that were

flowing out of gas stand beyond the soviet pull out. and also when the soviet union collapse and the situation in afghanistan was deteriorating because of the stronger islamist groups in the country. now this is why the local ministers of defense and leaders praised survey shows whose role in sorting up the current situation. one of the proposals that came from the russian ministers of defense was to intensify the drills between russia and its allies here. and the 1st part of these drills called peace mission will happen in september. and china is also going to take part in those boom bus is coming up next to us fusion, catch up with america's lawyer. we're back in often now with the latest, if you want to forget that me

i the count down the next day as torn in a storage day in monetary history. that would be august 15th, 1971, the dated. then president. richard nixon closed the gold window, basically defaulting on america's obligations to great britain at the time. and since then we've had pure monetary chaos. oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's possible to sell food that is trinity 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 as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me. ah, this is bus one business. sure you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel was never born . was that coming up? was chinese stock. their training down as the nation government continue to crack down on business will discuss the ongoing uncertainty. meanwhile, the united states has seen its tre.
