for real negotiation and not just for the the this, our top headlights are on our team and lumps of chemical waste uncontaminated soil . in an exclusive interview with r t, a greenpeace expert explains the possible environmental impact of the recent chemical plant explosion in germany. the main question arises is, have an acceptable to place this as it was held to tag me a larger than the french president mind your micro and sues, the creator over billboard. depicting him as a, hitler is prompting charges of hypocrisy. given his previous storage, defense of the freedom of expression. austria has had enough of a legal migration with its interior minister. the value of

a country will take matters into its own hands off the last thing, the e. u. for failing to act in the program, we speak to the countries full for administer. i want to have seen over the last that case to somehow try to take a common approach when it comes to my creation. nothing has worked ah . around the world around the clock. this is our future national life for moscow. just after 1 o'clock in the morning here 5 people are confirmed dead and to remain missing after an explosion that a chemical plant in germany on tuesday. now greenpeace is sounding the alarm with locals coming across. lumps of chemical waste formed from soot, created by the smoke that was released. this information is very difficult from mechanical point of view. it is really possible to imagine the huge

catastrophe. we have a plan for the insinuation of hazardous waste that is precisely those substances that for obvious reasons should not tend to the environment that collected and burned. and it is such a plan that has no suffered an explosion. it was the substances which should not be in the environment that reacted with each other, burned up and present these clouds of gases throughout the region. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to for the explosion on the subsequent fire receive incineration plan. just behind me, residents were initially told to remain inside. keep that windows and doors closed . a tentative all clear was given following tests that were carried out by the state and federal environmental protection services. those tests would be looking at the quality of the, the soil as well as looking at re water that fallen from cloud. so to feed in contact with the huge plume of smoke, the enemy emanated from the facility just behind me say they've reported so far,

no elevated levels of pollution. but authorities have also said that that pretty sure that talks and were released into the atmosphere following this fire and explosion. now we have seen a lot of messages being given out to people in the local area, warning them not to eat anything that's being grown in their gardens in the, the nearby area. also telling people not to allow children to use playgrounds, don't 16 garden furniture, or anybody that has a swimming pool in the garden. not to use that either. there's also being warnings about making sure that you take off footwear, outside of your home. if you're in one of the areas with london now, despite these warnings being given out, activists told off the, the, well, a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. house uncertainty to rain people, road to me, asking whether they can go out in the garden and whether we will take more samples . and this worries me,

most of all the people remain the dog. and this is not only the fault of the enterprise. after all, the main problem is that no one knows what substances have reacted and what actually happened. and here the main question arises, isn't of an acceptable to place this as it were? powder tags, near large settlements. on friday, we are expecting the authorities to release more information regarding potential long term implications from this disaster that took place on tuesday. what we know from activists is that there's a lot of concern that this could have a long term effect on the area. now the most important thing is of course transparency in terms of chemistry, no one can say what was burns there, but now we need to find out what is pretty much returned to normal and leave a truth and i'm the surrounding area. we've had condolences being offered to the families of those that died as well as praise for emergency services and rescue as he were on the scene so quickly. but

a lot of people looking towards that information we're expecting to hear on friday, about long term effects. that could be that this is the most densely populated area of germany, a lot of people living in the nearby surrounding not just of labor, cruise and but also cities like cologne and the why the area of north run with folly a french president and manuel macro and is taking legal action against the owner of billboards that depict him as idols hitler. the man behind the offending image says he's been summoned to his local police station. but the meantime, he's accusing micron of hypocrisy in a macro of land making fun of the prophets, rear is satire, but to make fun of the president as a dictator is blasphemy time and time again during his presidency manual, my court has defended freedom of expression. he, in from us in liberty to bliss, to me, there is also in france,

the freedom to bless fee which is attached to the freedom of conscience from where a stand. i'm here to protect all these freedoms. so it's not up to me to qualify the choices of journalists, even if i can, i can only say that in france were, can criticize government and presidents to be blasphemous, etc. it was hosted to be friendship to defend the right to make people love the freedom to mom, to really kill, to caricature which will tear claimed was the source of all the others. but one also gets you will not give up caricatures drawings, even the fathers retreat. that freedom is also enshrined in the declaration of the rights of man. the citizen both does have limits whether or not they extend to the sum billboard, depicting corn as hitler is another matter. it was erected as part of protection against the cooper 19 restrictions in placing problems, but it picks his anger so much. so he's now steering its creator misha,

owens flow v, who defends that billboard, says it's not necessarily a comparison with the not feeder. you see hitler, but you can see starlen or i can see charlie chaplin and the dictator. now, when satirical magazine surely do read, publish, controversial cartoons over them was a profit loss court and defended. right to do so. fresh publication, those sparked off its own chain reaction, needing finally to the heading of a sheet. so by taking out billboard, is it the case call and having double found the only folder, am i sorry from a crime? no. because when he comes to making caricatures of our prophet mohammed does not pose a problem for anyone. and when it concerns him, it poses a problem. so it's a case of double standards, and that's wrong. well, if it's, if i'm,

if you look at the it for charlotte, the defense freedom expression flung from the tree, vaccinations and health policies have triggered to protests in the front. now some demonstrators come head, the country to dictatorship, but it seems that my cool, it's these billboards which all of simply the law school. so how do people have feel about the comparison? he's not cool, right? to take action or shooting to take a leaf out of book and accept such caricature that part and also being the head of faith that once yes, he was upset because it concerns him personally when it concerns millions of muslims who are french work and who pay their taxes, then there is no one to defend you for helping us. i understand that he feels offended because he doesn't have a great image. and so being compared to him as of this and not very pleasant. yes,

there is freedom of expression, but i think this goes a bit far. don't get to stop us because you should pull some stuff together because it's jessica, you're the guy just wants to make fun of him. the truancy la femme, him quite flat. admittedly, it's understandable that he's not the latter, but he should take it on the chin, but being a public political figure, what does he expect? i think he has a bigger fish to fry. yeah, but it's still the 1st time it's an image has been published, showing that comb with a likeness to head to back in 2018 the french daily and youth. this is the cover photo on it weekly magazine. so that did provoke sharp criticism at the time the paper said that it was intended to do that and all was hunky dory. and while citizens in france enjoyed the right to insult the president mat, cool, just as an ordinary citizen is protected himself from insults on public defamation

. now, if the billboard is found guilty of such he could spend up to a new imprison, as well as being struck with a fine of up to 45000 euros, but perhaps by suing the billboards, create a macro, and he's actually being counter productive in the fact that he is warring even more attention to it. so let me be ski r t paris. earlier in the program i spoke with yes, hello, he human rights and civil liberties activists. he says that the french elite operate with double standards. we saw him going to court instead of in the morning . phrasing shall you do for they are cartoons and in the afternoon the afternoon, a scalding shop. we know a french joy and lisa for doing his job as a jordan. and now we see at this reaction for a call, so now it is beyond double standards in front. it has never been about freedom of

expression for a fair because freedom of expression would be universal to everyone. it is only above protecting the privilege of expression of the image, which means as long as you are on the dominant side, you can make when everybody cares to the floor or the blog, the, you know, the, the arab, the movie, the women, etc. but once you mix the and the fall where he plays in the presidential cell, now you are facing prosecution. yes, he has a right to argue with other pray that he's so he should be the person who guarantee that everybody has different expression. he's a president, he should be above another european union state has lost his patience over the question of illegal migration. the austrian government blasted the european commission for doing nothing to stop the influx. its interior minister says austria is now taking matters into its own hands and will be looking for allies on that front. there is no support from the e u commission, which spends time debating about refugee distribution issues. it makes no sense to

give people smuggling thousands of euro's the commission does not act. that's why we act ourselves. the author and government has already opened discussions on board of security with neighbors, hungary and the czech republic. these also want to see strict border controls, austria in the meantime, as reinforced at the eastern frontier by deploying an additional $400.00 soldiers. the former austria and minister of foreign affairs, karen can i sold, told her why the e use approach to illegal migration is a failure. i want to have seen over the last that case and actually started in 9095 to somehow try to take a common approach when it comes to my creation. nothing has worked. we are in a big state made off of a lot of unilateral measures taken and it will lead to more confusion and it will lead to the non implementation of international

treaties. what we see that each and every member of state is somehow contempt, have laid on its own maximum by and try not to try natural action. but the common european migration of chanda is not there, its maximum bring back people to turkey, bringing them back to afghanistan and all in both cases. it doesn't really work for people who are dead and doesn't have been hospitalized with burns as wildfires signed by strong winds, re devastation across southern turkey, a coastal town in 18. nearby villages and districts were all evacuated hotels in the region of doing the same thing. the turkish presidents spokesperson has called the situation a national disaster. russian airplanes are there assisting in putting out the fires and one local john list sent us. this report started having my location

today at 6 hours ago. there were a big part in the back. as you can see now, rooming in a location hold each miller suddenly a small cover all their own. and they start educated people were in the nearby because the people here really chris about the coaches, tricia. and we're hoping that they're going to pick the controls on the way here on the program, on our tea taliban house cobble and its sides knocking out the power grid and leaving the capital in the dark. we have a report from the city after the break. i

join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me when i was the wrong one. i'll just don't rule out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in from germany, where a long study finds that the the biomass of sly inside the whites applying infects,

fell by 76 percent in the last 26 years. so it's just becoming much, much less common, which means all the jobs that they do are not being done anymore. and that, that is the real danger. and that's what's going to impact on ah, some stories are not the international. another active police brutality has regrettably been caught on camera in america to offices in colorado have been charged over the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race man. a warning you may find the following video disturbing. oh, what do i do? oh, i do put your hands on front of you. okay. don't stop it. oh oh. 6 0, the police officers identify the suspect, our call vinson as being wanted by authorities for several offences. off the 2

other men fled, mister vincent apparently appeared to initially comply with a police commands during the rest. but it was when they tried to handcuff him, he seemed to resist. when he was a subsequently choked forced face down on the ground and pistol whipped by an officer, he was taken a hospital needing treatment of the officers in question have since been charged with excessive use of force on the boss. the aurora police chief is strongly condemned. to conduct, joe does not police work, we don't train this, not acceptable. the definition of police brutality is itself is a problem. you are you, you use the force necessary to effect in a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep the citizen safe and you actually keep the person that you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street car is not the punish. that's the job of the courts to white edition, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derrick sheldon, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were

this comfortable with their actions. there is a serious epidemic, a serious problem. and then police officers, history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times that person been accused, or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed to use. because if somebody feels this comfortable to get this out of control on video camera guarantee is that the 1st time they've done this as an incident like us, the defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police moment is a political card, it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your base for more voting . it really just removes programs, funding for certain areas for police officers and forces have managed arrest back control of a key northern district from the taliban. the retreating militants left behind a trail of deliberate destruction. we discussed the issues of destruction with some of the locals there who showed us around their homes. mine and they planted mines

here and over there, the attached large amounts of explosive and blew up all the buildings around here. and i'm moving in the quick as you can see, the taliban stole all our things. even the windows and the doors. they took away all the usable materials and left behind only destruction. while the taliban, while they conquered a huge amount of area in the bulk province, including the district of cal die right out barrel. the northern border that was already a month ago. the terror group has been ascendant, taking more territory in the last 2 months done in the last 2 decades. it now has a dominant presence, not just in the northern area, but the northeast as well. and some of the central regions of i've got this done as well. and as we understand the taliban a closing in on key cities conduce and kandahar. while the recent tolerant advances have deeply worse than the humanitarian situation. that, according to the un, around 270000 afghans have been forced to flee their homes just this year alone.

citizens are trying to find shelter and neighboring states like pakistan. it was best on jesus. dawn of i have also been repeated attacks and reports of them continuing on the power transmission towers in the capital capital the most recent attack to place a few days ago. it resulted in a massive black out in the city. and there are still various districts of the capital that do require electricity still to be put back into place. earlier we did get an on the ground account from local john listed below, outside of why, while much of call the cell does not have the regular power that it should have. this is because of the regular fighting on the highway in northern i find a son from where these power loans and infrastructures come. it's important electricity from the gym son and his bikes. but we've also seen deliberate attacks away explosives, i've been placed, and these power towers continue to be blowing up the countries power

provider, the national power provider. it's trying to do its best. it's even lost its workers, as they have tried to restore power. but it's just not power, it's either the infrastructure, buildings, bridges, or church schools clinics. they've all been targeted. so i want to science infrastructure continues to be under constant attacks as we have seen, very, very high levels of violence, where fighting is now in and around. major provincial capitals as well as district centers are under attack, especially in northern finest on the escalation. and i kind of stop comes in with the withdrawal of us troops. just a few weeks ago, american soldiers left washington's largest african air base, which they had been operating alpha, roughly 2 decades. but i think that was on a boy to discuss the situation there. and i'm gonna start with the countries, the former president habit, cause i you can watch the interview in full on sunday,

but for now he's a quick preview. the taliban? correct me if i'm mistaken. but i think ever since that immersion the midnight tonight, is your views on what that movement represents and whether it's good or not for your country have changed. what do you think about them now? i rose against them when they would empower because i saw them violating the rights of south can people. but when my government came, when the republican i give them a positive they were pardon. and many of them went and settle down in their homes and begun a peaceful life. then suddenly, the united states and some of the local elements begun to attack the color on homes and type creditors and forced them to flee the country. it was this violence committed against the african people in the name of fighting the thought of bun that led me to calling the tyler bond, our brothers,

because they belong to our country. they are our countrymen. do you think they will grant the same amount of tolerance they will not to they will not, they will not. again, people are giving an opportunity to receive peace when the african people call for peace. this means and paternity to co exist and to allow the country to progress if they don't allow that. and if they continue to, to, to seek their own domination of count on the way they think of it that will give rise to a nation uprising without a doubt. and i'll be one of those people. russia still lists the taliban as a terrorist organization. and for the record, it's the world's deadliest terror group with, i think almost $5000.00 deaths attributed to it in 2019 that's 3 times more than die in the same year. do you think any law abiding country should be talking to terrorists all labeling any group as tara is given how politically charged that's

more than the tyler bond being listed as terrorist by the united nation is the cause because of their action, of course. and we have, everybody is trying to talk to them. there is no alternative because there are no alternatives. things went wrong, things went wrong, and the, the began to re emerge and part of the population went with them. the answer is not continuing to fight. the answers to find the solution and bring the solution. and that is what russia has done and we appreciate it and we wanted to continued in fullest. so yes, talk to them. there are some p is no other alternative and brief. some of the headlines for you have a look at these pictures right here. you're looking at the new russian module that has now connected to the international space station. and it is one of the largest modules ever. it's called now wilker or science and it is intended just for that. and the module has long been awaited by the scientific community and will function

as an on board laboratory with 13 special experiments already in the planning. and it was a very big rumbling an earthquake, measuring a point to hitting off the coast of alaska is the largest rumblings in 1964. as soon as the warning was issued, people told to move to higher ground. we understand the author shop. so i felt as far away as new zealand. i've asked a program for this half hour here on our team to national thank you for sharing your time with us here at moscow. and my colleague don hawkins here at the desk in half an hour's time, perhaps you can join him then. thanks for joining us. me . ah, ah, ah.

ah, ah. in the wake of the 2nd high level meeting, where does the fraught china u. s. relationship stand the 1st meeting in anchorage, alaska was an embarrassing failure for secretary of state, blinking at the 2nd meeting. the chinese presented the americans with a set of demands. it would seem the stage a set per real negotiation and not just the app room. i

use welcome to the alex salmon. sure. where today we examined controversial decisions of the u. k. government in dealing with the corporate pandemic function policy is recommended by the joint committee on vaccination and immunization the d. c. v. i. and i'm surprised. i'm heavily caviar to advice. last week. the committee recommends at the fall of consideration of often corporate vaccines to 2nd to school children. should the government wish to consider the vaccination of children and young adults age less than 18 years? with the primary aim of reducing the styles code to infection rate. a symptomatic and symptomatic cases irrespective of other direct or indirect benefits, as discussed above. the known benefits from vaccination,

unlikely to be limited. in this instance, j. c. v. i favors deferral of a universal offer vaccination until more data have accrued, including a clear understanding of the impact of coven 19 in the u. k. within the context of a successful adult vaccination program. however, many scientists disagree and even more strikingly saw what is most international advice and high backs need to countries, including the policymakers in america, germany, new zealand of the netherlands. the position is particularly pressing in scotland, where the schools go back in a mere 3 weeks. and the recent comparisons between the scottish and english states have infection strongly suggest that schools have been the key vector of transmission of the bias. schooling rate of cobra transmission was higher than england until the scottish schools went off on holiday and then was quickly overtaken by the english treat where the schools were still in session. today show, we talk to 2 key experts from north and face of the border about the government's

decision making on vaccination. to christmas to talk cambridge for all just has become a household name during the pandemic. while professor, how did formerly the chief medical officer for scotland is president of the british medical association. but 1st, to teach emails i met this and this point for recent shows, painting scottish also it's angela mclean and mighty armstrong. i'm feeling epidemiologist, perfect, or my co baker and dr. pardon and connie of x to university 1st and listen to our authors. dalrymple said, really interesting. show many thanks to all contributors. click on and says 5, listen to do with ingenue mccloud. i am definitely buying this big and i wish them all the best with netflix. loved his comment to alex and arthur mcmullen says it's a part as enlightenment. scott fundamental in the formation of american politics. one must ask with the benefit of hindsight, hatred that paiute arthur goes on to say all history should be available in schools

to everyone interested about everything, whether you like or new. and finally on our authors. and he said that a special message to am this wife says amber, love it, your husband was creep on. so see all of us that moving on to i show uncovered, in fact, nations gordon mccain's. he says, when i was in school many years ago, we got vaccinated at school. i remember long length of kids getting jobs one by one . there was no problem with the strategy back then. would it be a problem? no. linda said, great topic, alex for bringing up the sheer incompetence of the board is johnson. and lisa says, well, i for one will be continuing to wear my mosque. and finally, kevin says, we must finish up if only protections. now go to christmas of the nick as scientists, platform has become a household name during the pandemic. no one back to explains the behavior of this crew. and by this.
