when customers go buy, you reduce the bin l well, reduce the lower the other cutting, but what's good to food market is not good for the global economy. ah, shocking revelations by bold. gary is health minister, as he admits covert vaccinations, failures, of course the country almost 10000 lives coming up, rush enough leaves out the tokyo olympics, keep the theme, gold left, western media and athletes increasingly seeing read a question, the teams right to be there on top of chemical waste, contaminated soil, and toxic emissions that he's expert outlines the potential environmental impact of this week. deadly last intern from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine

a huge catastrophe. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to. ah, for am in cell polo. 7 pm in oakland until in the morning here in moscow this friday july, the 30th. welcome to our t. i'm you know, neil bowed your is health minister. how's admitted? multiple failures in tackling the coven pandemic in the country had disastrous consequences. in a startling revelation, he said, nearly 10000 lives could have been saved if the occupation campaign had been organized properly. buccheri a sacrifice in the older generation. we did not give priority to people over 60 and people with serious illnesses were immunized smelly john inactive people for 5 months. and the most vulnerable groups were abandon before or 2 of every 5 coven

dance in the country were among elderly people. other failures cited by the minister, include per logistics, and error is regarding vaccine procurement. the government prioritized astrazeneca is job for other vaccines, and its distribution problems also meant this little rule lied the oversights, last bulgaria, among the worst hit by the pandemic globally, the night highest covert mortality rate. in fact, well, in germany where there's been a more successful vaccine, real life, the question know is whether should more freedoms for those immunized be brought about politicians, they're deeply divided on the motor within the country. under europe correspondent peter oliver has been looking at how the issue is splitting society. now the more than half of the german population have been fully vaccinated against coven. 19 the debate amongst politicians has moved on to whether the vaccination should entitle people to more freedoms. the president of the bottom, the stag,

things that showed what that could me is, but those who had their full vaccinations could have more access to things like restaurants, theaters, sport, stadiums. i do not see any constitutional issues for differentiating between those who have been tested on the one hand and those who have recovered or been vaccinated on the other. since the risk of vaccination is extremely low according to current data. not everyone is convinced of the constitutional fairness of such a device of move. so the german justice minister doesn't think it's right to split society down the lines of the vaccine. and the vaccine, not there will be no compulsory public vaccination. we should stick to the principle that those who have been vaccinated recovered or have a negative covered test should retain all their freedoms. the justice minister is against mandatory vaccination, but those believe that everybody who can get a job should get one. the result was in german politic slow who think that the

government and politicians should have no sake and who gets a vaccination at all. it's not the role of the state to eliminate the risks to live . this encroachment would be constitutional and would clearly contradict the fundamental idea of freedom and the basic law. those who support freedom passes. say, people that have have the job shouldn't be held back by those that haven't. but they still a healthy sized opposition. again, forcing anyone to take the nation, you say it goes against personal freedoms, walk in the state imposed on the individual. my red line is my body by decided on that last that the last word is up to me. the state must not exceed that with an election just 8 weeks away in some potentially very true coalition talks on the horizon, rights for the vaccinated could well end up being a stumbling block to the formation of the next government patrol of her r. c. in cologne. germany, amid the current coven trouble restrictions,

the british mother of a child with severe autism has spoken of her being forced to isolate in quarantine cells where her son went into no more industrial. this in, later in russia, natalie are continuing their impressive metal whole at the tokyo games, reaching double figures and gold medals. this friday, it means the russian olympic committee team, as they are known, the games set forth in the overall table. but associate taylor explains, you'd be hard pressed to find many so looting their success. day in day out, the press tries to not gretchen athletes from the gold, silver, and bronze pettus tools they fought for. and one r o c rank thought in overall metals so far, which in case you missed the memo,

is no cause for celebration. beautiful music. and although window dressing, such as calling itself the rushing limpid committee to suggest an appearance of neutrality cannot mask the stench of corruption and appeasement. yes, allowing russians to compete and toto despite a full year found for an alleged doping scheme have caused a real stink, even though a me a reduce number of asking. so that, and that competing as new trolls, meaning they don't get a flag. they didn't get an uncertain unofficially done, not from russia, but from the r c. what they do still get though are respectful sports related questions from on bias john las other russian olympic team athletes carrying the stigma cheated in these games after the scandal. and how do you feel about it the 1st time in my life? i'm not going to answer a question. you should be embarrassed of herself. i think you should. why are him

from the olympics? i don't want to see him again though to the journalists credit he did manage to hide his disappointment better than most of his colleagues. disappointment that despite having punished rushes, asked me to the maximum. you still just can't miss them. use the the i received some type plan, completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the rushes out. and it certainly didn't shame russia where putting has used the band to pump up nationalistic bright . because a russian can only be proud of his compact. carrots went on the greatest international sporting stage. if putin tells him to be mine at the same one, it seems that some must be found. the r o c,

a convenient scapegoat for that own shame and celia to take home a when seen the crew who shouldn't even be here. walk away with the silver is a nasty feeling really disappointing overall, and i feel for the other f as in the, a final. so that's what good sportsmanship looks like. and what must make it all the more frustrating is that these r o c athletes managed to steal those metals, even when they're not in peak condition. even count in a recent on a can least, the russian limbic committee climbed to the top of the metal podium, tears flow enduring tchaikovsky, no doubt about that. the band to keep those russians out didn't work. because despite being stripped about them, the flag that country's name and any fireplace support, they'll still be heading home with some pretty heavy hand luggage. unfortunately, the, the olympics has been politicized very much. you know, it's not new. there's always been a national as component to it,

but of course the olympic games charter calls for bringing countries together and in its intention is to to promote peace. we need to resist the the nationalists forces that are trying to politicize and polarize the anti doping situation. and the international sport situation, i think it will be a very good thing when russia is fully reinstated and can participate. we can see the russian flag and the russian national anthem. it's really a shame that the situation is continuing as it is, but hopefully we can get beyond this before too much longer. just a reminder we have as always, plenty more online. few, including the claims of a us swimmer about the 200 meter backstroke final, probably washing clean his quote because the russian athlete left and trailing for

the goal. it's actually a very interesting read, but lots of different angles to it. r t dot com can fill in the blank is how well the current will only just have fallen. only took your games before it opens again on the par lympics on team r. o c's final preparations. there are underway, journalist and part of the lead to be true if not of went along to get a taste of one of the toughest disciplines. taekwondo. hi everyone. me watching a diary about the preparations for the upcoming paralympics in tokyo, which will kick off soon. and today we're at the para minova support center. he used to train people without any disability, but now you have a whole army of power athlete. what's that like that very cool. no, i read about you. why was literally crying something unimaginable your mother left you when you were born and later your adopted right? yeah. i was in the 5th grade when i was bullied to go with my backpack because i

said, what are you doing? i'll tell my mother. and she replied, you don't have a real mom. you are adopted. it was painful to hear that, but then i made up my mind and decided to be strong. there was only one parliament combat. the many people have no concepts of how disabled people can fight, but they can do it here. they fight, but are protected as much as possible to have a mouth guard and helmet with a face. we also have handed going protection, as well as an electronic chest pertaining to lex pads and electronic food food for the, tell us more about the electronics. what did they do? is it like in fencing where like when someone hits you? yes, we have an electronic chest protector with sensors only, as well as an extra saga with 12 senses. you get points, the sensor, so you can receive even more points if you learn the spinning kicker. i was the when a determined by the number of school. so the number of points is equal to the number

of blows, the more points you get, the high your place? yes, in each fight. last 2 minutes. 3 rounds with one minute break. ok. check 12. is the ready to cool. it's not only about fighting. it's about thank you. everyone has reached such a high level to get to the limiting that you can't just fine. you have to think about what your opponent is doing. so it's a bit like playing chess. yes, you should be quicker than your opponent dog. she's bloat. yes, there are people who got enormous fortitude to people who have nothing to lose. they still have to find a job or they struggle their entire life. that's why they throw themselves into sports. people normally retire from taekwondo at the age of 30 disabled people sometimes go on until they're 40. i don't think the top harlem pinta disabled because they could easily take on any one. the

tailor turn attention on the program to southern turkey. wildfires fund by strong winds continue to rick devastation there. 3 people have been killed dozens more left needing hospital treatment for burns and coastal time and 18 nearby villages and districts have been evacuated. hotels in the popular tourist region of also known, started moving gas to safety. officials have called the situation the national disaster under also launching, i'm investigation into suspicion. the fire is where the result of arson been, while specialist russian plains have been sent to help the fire fighting efforts. a local journalists sent this report. there were a big bar defects as you can see. notice huge swimming in a location, hold each miller. so then the smoke cover all their own and they start educating

people where in the nearby because the people here really threats about unfortunate situation. and they've got to pick the controls. tuesday's explosion as a chemical plant in lever cruz and germany left 5 people dead while 2 are still missing and the locals in the area are coming across pieces of chemical waste form from suit that was created by the smoke released in the incident. the blast and aftermath cause greenpeace to sun. the alarm. this iteration is very difficult from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine a huge catastrophe. we have planned for the incineration of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that for obvious, reasons should not enter the environment. they're collected and burned,

and it is such a plan that has no stuff, it's an explosion. it was these substances which should not be in the environment. that reacted with each other, burned up and spread in these clouds of gases throughout the region. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to for more than 5 families and chemicals were manufactured on this side, including nitrate. ition compounds which are notably used for the production of explosives, the plant mix, petro and silicon chemicals as well, while contaminated, hazardous waste is also handled there. this was the theme or pollution levels. they're currently being monitored after thick black clouds bellowed from the site for almost 4 hours after the bluff. locals remain sharp trouble. i didn't go out yesterday. we weren't supposed to, but i must say that today i felt like a small the cigarette. it's still really smells here today. it did in our apartment this morning as well. i don't know whether it's dangerous or not, but i'm

a bit scared. we have grandchildren, we often go to the playground with and we probably wouldn't do it over the next few days because we don't know yet how the brain has been affected by the smoke. if they're saying we shouldn't eat fruits of food or anything from our garden, then there must be something wrong. and i just hope it's not really serious. society is one of the largest chemical parts in europe, employing their he dollars and workers at the time of the blast, locals were told to stay inside and close all windows to bring peace expert. we spoke to the boys. people aren't being told enough about the potential danger uncertainty to rain. people wrote 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 talk. and this is not only the force of the enterprise, after all, the main problem is that no one knows what substances have reacted and what

actually happens. and here the main question arises, isn't even acceptable to place this as it were a powder keg. me a large settlements still ahead on the program mine furious, the french president take some bridge and becoming the poster boy of a french billboard owner. we depicted him hitler. we put the bricks on the rug vacations of the brake. ah join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me when i was the wrong. when old school,

just don't the room. yes to shape out the same because the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground from germany, where a long study finds that the, the biomass of sly inside the weights of flying infects, fell by 76 percent in the last 26 years. so instead of 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, hello again. being locked in a hotel room for

a coven quarantine over 10 days would try many people's patients. but imagine how much harder it would be if you were looking after a child with learning difficulties about the reality for, for him. rockman who is 9 year old son has severe autism. he had a full mouth tone on the 4th day of the resolution of british authorities had refused to grant for him a quarantine exemption. she shared her frustrations with us on the for i thank you. just know you don't know what's triggered. can you walk on us? oh no, i tried my day to get all her things home cooked meals and things so it can well be a trigger basis is more even you know, football game for already. so i know that y'all been all room for 11 days with no access to the world and more so it would have been a routine being stuck in

a hotel room for 20. for some people beforehand travel to pakistan with her 2 children back in march to care for her mother. while she was there, the country was added to the u. kay's travel red list. that meant the family was required to isolate for 10 days in a government mandated quarantine hotel. upon arrival, back in the u. k. following her sons milton, she was allowed to leave the hotel uncompleted quarantine at home. well, the government insists the measures in place to keep everyone safe. another recognizes the impact the rules, helping many people for his argument again is still confused. why she and her children weren't allowed to quarantine at home in the 1st place. given the circumstance to research on the government said, you can apply for an exemption on the terms of medical cases. so while i was applying for was who gave me the commission to court in gene in the house. we were

going to put it on a case prior to getting the claim. we were going to come back and get the case. so for me, it was like, so can they take all the precautions not to make sure that we don't pass on if we do have a receipt. so we would just take on the for. so what i was asking was just one quarantine rather than a hotel calling teach for just being more of a c feasible for danielle, with whom the french president has launched legal action against the owner of hundreds of billboards who stuck our posters depicting him. of adolph hitler, the man said he's been summoned to appear on his local police station, but he's accused the money will micron of hypocrisy in macro and 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 front of the blasphemy. 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. i can, i can only see that in france. we can criticize government presidents to be blasphemous, etc. it has to be friendship to defend the right to make people love the freedom to mock, to really kill, to caricature which will tear claimed was the source of all the others when it gets you will not give up caricatures drawings, even the fathers retreat that presume is also enjoying in the declaration of the rights of the citizen. so that does have limits whether or not they extend to the some billboard depicting cool as hitler is another matter. it was erected as part of protection against the coup with 19 restrictions in placing

problems, but it's picked his anger so much so he's now searing its creator misha, owens flow. ve who defends a billboard says it's not necessarily a comparison with the, not the leader. you see hitler, but you can see stolen or i can see charlie chaplin in the dictator. now, when satirical magazine, surely i re published controversial cartoons of them was in profit, lofty court and defended. it's right to do so. that fresh publication, those sparked all faces chain reaction leading finally to the heading of a sheet. so by taking out to build or is it the case? let go and having double found my story from micron. know, because when it comes to making characters of our prophet mohammed does not pose

a problem for anyone, when it concerns him, it poses a problem. so it's a case of dual standards, and that's wrong well fits, he should do what he did for surely abdur and defend freedom of expression. real. yes, i understand that he feels offended when compared to hitler has nothing to be proud of. so i can understand that he's offended, but on the other hand, defends a certain freedom of expression. it's a little paradoxical to plan some of the tree. vaccinations and health policies have triggered to protests in france. now some demonstrators compare the country to dictatorship, but it seems cool. it's these billboards which all simply the law school. so how do people have feel about this comparison is not cool, right? to take action, or should he to take a leaf out to book and accept such caricatures that part and also being the head of faith once yes,

he was upset because it concerns him personally. but when it concerns millions of muslims to a french work and pay the taxes, then there is no one to defend them. i understand that he feels offended because hitler doesn't have a great image. so ben, compared to him, it's obvious and not very pleasant. yes, there is freedom of expression, but i think this goes a bit saw he should pull himself together because it's a caricature. the guy just wants to make fun of him and shouldn't really fancy. love remains a fairly negative figure that he's still part of history. admittedly, it's understandable that he's not flattered, but he should take it on the chin being a public political figure. what does he expect? i think he has a bigger fish to fry deal but hell the 1st time an image has been published, showing my comb with a likeness to head back in 2018 the french daily and youth. this is the cover photo on its weekly magazine feed, provoke,

sharp criticism. at the time the paper said that it wasn't intended to do that, and all was hunky dory. and while citizens in france enjoyed the right to insult the president mark, who just as an ordinary citizen, is protected himself from insults and public defamation. now, it's a billboard. so you see 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 macaroni is actually being counter productive here in the fact that he is warring even more attention to it. so let it be ski or t, paris and a french human rights container. we talk to believe the country deletes, make up their own roof. we saw him go to my court instead of in the morning brazing, shall you do it for they are cartoons. and in the afternoon the afternoon. a score

didn't get a sharp renewal of french drug use for doing his job that jordan is. and now we see this reaction for him because so not it is beyond double standards. in france, it has never been about freedom of expression for a fit because freedom of expression would be universal to everyone. it is only a bulk with the privilege of expression of the indians, which means as long as you are on the dominant side, you can make when everybody gets to the floor or the black, the, you know, the, the arab to move the women, etc. but once you mix the and of the fall where he plays the presidential cell, now you are facing prosecution. yes, he has a right to argue with the president he's. he should be the person who guarantee that everybody has the right of expression. he's a president, he should be above the government forces in afghanistan have managed to wrestle by control of a key northern district. from the taliban, the retreating militants left behind a trail of destruction local something describing some of the damage inflicted on

their homes. mine when 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 cool. it can see the taliban stole all are things you know. even the windows and the doors. they took away all the usable materials and left behind only destruction. the taliban conquered lord sways of the ballad province a month ago, including here the district of colder, with the withdrawal of us troops from the country under way the terror group had been filling the void during war territory in the past 2 months. in the last 2 decades, it was a dominant presence in many provinces across the country, including in the number of key cities. there's also been repeated attacks on the power grid in the capital kaboom the most recent taking place just days ago and resulted in a must have black hole in the city with workers still struggling to restore

electricity in certain areas. local journalists below. so was a file this report was much of cobble cell does not have the regular power. that is, should have, this is because of the regular fighting on the highway in northern. i find his son from where these power balloons and infrastructures comments imported electricity from the gym sun in his back sun. but we've also seen deliberate attacks away explosives have been placed, and these power towers continue to be blown up. the country's power provider, the national power provider, it's trying to do its best. it's even lost. busy its workers as they have tried to restore power, but it's just not power. it's either the infrastructure, you know, buildings, bridges, or church schools clinics. they've all been targeted. another visionary in conversation with sophie next,

stay close for that and then i'm back in 30 with more of the stories effecting your world today by the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . the welcome to feel free, go visionaries. me so think chevy knots in our plan of fire. diversity has long been crying for help. and now 100 species could vanish on the face of the earth and we're talking.
