countries, they have no recession, but they also have no way for anybody to have a life other than being a slave. so okay, that's where america, that is the shocking revelations by bold. gary is health minister says he admits coven vaccination failures. of course, the country almost $10.00 and why also had on the program today as russian athletes, the tokyo olympics, keep the notching goal. that's left western media enough leads, increasingly seeing read the question that seems to be the parties of chemical waste, contaminated soil, and toxic emissions, and environmental freshman guidelines for us. the potential dangers of this week, deadly blond than german 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, lie for moscow. this is our t, my name, you know neil and 30 minutes of news and views start. bull gary is health minister has admitted the the multiple failures in totaling covert in the country has had disastrous consequences in what is really a startling revelation. he said nearly 10000 lives could have been saved if the an occupation campaign had been organized properly. bulgaria is sacrifice in the older generation. we did not give priority to people over 60 and people with serious illnesses were immunized. smelly young and active people for 5 months. and the most vulnerable groups were abandon 4 out of every 5 covert debts 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 job for other vaccines, with the company's own distribution problems, meaning a slow rollout by sophia, the oversights, left bulgaria, among the worst hit by the pandemic globally, with the 9 highest coban mortality rates. meanwhile, in germany, where there has been a more successful vaccine rule, the question now is whether that should mean more freedoms. for those immunized politicians are deeply divided on that matter or europe correspond. and 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 that vaccination should entitle people to more freedoms. the presidents of the bond, the stag, things that should, 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 should stick to the principle that those who have been vaccinated recovered 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 using german politic slow who think that the government and politicians should have no sake and who gets the vaccination at all . it's not the role of the state to eliminate the risks to live. this encroachment would be unconstitutional and would clearly contradict the fundamental idea of freedom and our basic law. those who support freedom passes. say people that have

had the job shouldn't be held back by those that haven't, but they still a healthy sized opposition against forcing anyone to take the nation 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 tricky coalition talks on the horizon, right, so the vaccinated could well end up being a stumbling block to the formation of the next government. peter overall t in cologne, germany. so ahead in the program, i made current covered travel restrictions. the british mother of a child with severe spoken of her own trade show being forced to isolate in a quarantine hotel for her soul and then went to know coming up to me, sir, continuing their impressive metal hall at the tokyo games,

reaching double figures in gold, medals this friday it means the russian olympic committee team now set forth in the table. however, you'd be hard pressed is the end with our t saskatoon. something good to see you. i've been watching the last number of days and it does appear that the atmosphere looked to be on the verge of being hostile towards some russian athletes. what more can you say about what the lympics should be? a huge celebration and ne, asking all discipline from all over the world, coming together at one event showcasing the skills. unfortunately, for russian athletes competing out this year's turkey games, that just hasn't been the case. they might be scooping up awards. the russian lymph committee will already see dots, currently rank thought in total metals, but the atmosphere has been so hostile. it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, and very little good sportsmanship, both from the global media and of course from fellow competitors. for example, us when ryan murphy, who lost to a russian, took

a veil flight by saying that he probably, that it probably wasn't a teen race. a comment that he later back tracked on. but by that a british swim, i had also come out and couldn't help. may could dig about state sponsored doping out for the russian who beat them. he said that my gold medal is the combination of nothing but life from dedication a yes to double check the news, but i have always stood for nothing but clean competition. i have always been tested and i always go out to my documents. i've devoted my entire life to the sport and i would never be able to forgive myself if i use some doping. so i don't even know how to react to this model. now, while both those comments might not seem direct to the any one particular ascii or country, others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of a sole lose. one us row of, for example, said that russians shouldn't even be 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 athletes in the a final now come, i might be furious that she's not taking her. not when that she was banking on her belief that russians don't have a right to be there. of course, just doesn't reflect reality how much she wants it to. the truth is, russian athletes are allowed to compete, but under certain strict conditions as a result of an ongoing on a reduced number of historically clean russian athletes are allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them the flag. and of course, the country's name, hence r a c and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international emp committee has set up. and despite the fact that they are the most tested, one of the most tested delegations that they are still daily faced with this wave of bitterness and analysis. yeah, new and fair comments, direct or otherwise, as you're saying, indirectly the last number of there, including the swimmers. what's the media? how to say? well, unfortunately,

the hostility towards the already fi team is really tenfold in western media. some of the headlines are actually pretty shocking. many of them fairly can disguise that discuss the russians have been allowed not to learn that the actually winning metals, 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. the i seized entire plan completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians. 2 out, and it certainly didn't shame russia were putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. and that was us, gymnast simone biles had to pull out the media with disappointment, wrote about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly of course what happened as they deserved. so if one were hoping that the media would kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing events on the triumphs on

the losses of those kids. while unfortunate, we've been disappointed. i suggest there's a little bit of back story to this as well, right. what of course, i think most people are why, but this is all the fall out from the uncovering of thought and that you doping scheme amongst russian athletes back in 2014 washer was found before we had many major international sporting events and about will delay to reduce to 2 years now, russian officials did come out, they admitted mistake had been made in the doping program, but they also did claim that the band was politically motivated. but the truth is, is that is the past that have been repercussions for that. what's happening now in tokyo was essentially the demonize ation of hundreds of proven clean athletes who are playing by the rules down to a t who are also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer . exactly. they are, they are the 3rd test team, all the us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes by the media and not have to say really as a credit to those are the athletes that despite all of this that they've managed to

block out all that noise and still keep mounting when a podium yet tangle metals, another we can a bit to go as well. sounds good, thanks very much for bring this through all that while independent journalist rick sterling, the said that the original intention of the lympics is to promote peace and he said that is getting lost a minute divisive normative. 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 nationalist 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 you know, is continuing as it is. but hopefully we can get beyond this before too much longer from the curtain will only just have fallen on the tokyo games. and also, i say, in a run to a weeks time before it opens again on the part of the big on team, our see final preparations are underway. journalist on part of a fleet, dmitri enough, went along to get a taste of one of the toughest disciplines parra taekwondo. hi, everyone. me watching a diary about the preparations for the upcoming paralympics in tokyo, which will kick off students. and today we're at the pero minova sports center. he used to train people without any disability, but now you have a whole army of power athletes that like that. very cool. i read about you why was

literally crying. it's something unimaginable. your mother left you when you were born and later your adopted right? yes. i was in the 5th grade when i was bullied to go with my backpack. i said to her, 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 parlin pick combat sport. 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 show. we also have handle growing protection as well as an electronic chest protector. lex pads, an electronic footwear. for the tell us more about the electronics. what do they do? is it like in fencing where it lights up when someone hits you? yes, we have an electronic chest protector with sense of own it, as well as any tronic socks with 12 senses. you get points if you hit the sensor.

so you can receive even more points. if you land a spinning kick. how is the when a determined by the number of points for so the number of points is equal to the number of blows, the more points you get, the higher your place? yes, each fight. last 2 minutes. not 3 rounds with one minute breaks. taekwondo is the rapid pool. it's not only about fighting, it's about thinking. everyone has reached such a high level to get to the lim, things that you can't just fight. 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 blows. yes, there are people who got enormous fortitude. there are people who have nothing to lose. they struggle to find a job, they struggle their entire life. that's why they throw themselves in sports. people normally retire from taekwondo the age of 30, but disabled people sometimes go on until they're 40. i don't think the top harlem pins are disabled because they could easily take on any one.

the tuesdays exclusion of a chemical plant in lever cruise in germany left at 5 people dead while 2 are still missing. another locals in the area are coming across pieces of chemical waste form from suits that was created by the smoke released in the incident. the blast, it's aftermath as cause greenpeace to saw the lar, the situation is very difficult from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine the huge catastrophe. we have planned for the insinuation of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that for obvious, reasons should not tend to the environment they're collected and burned. and it is such a plan that has no stuff, it's an explosion. it was the 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 indeed, more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured up the sites including nitrogen compounds, which are notably used for the production of explosives. the plant mixed petro and silicon chemicals as well. well contaminated, hazardous waste is handled there. also this was the scene or a pollution levels. they're currently being monitored after thick black clouds bellowed from the side for almost 4 hours after the blast. locals remained shut up . what happened? i didn't go out yesterday and we were supposed to, but i must say that today i felt like a small 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 won'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 real. serious. the site is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing 30000 workers. you know, at the time of the blast locals who are told to stay inside and close all windows, the green piece expert we spoke to the police people aren't being told enough about the potential dangerous uncertainty to rains. people wrote to me asking whether they can go out in the gardens 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 kegs near large settlements still become a furious french president, takes a bridge up and coming the poster boy of

a french billboard owner who depicted him as hitler. after this short break. i the ah me. in the wake of the 2nd high level meeting, where does the fraught china us 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 demand. they would seem to stay just set for real negotiations, and not just the roof. the the, the, the, the being lot in a hotel room for a coven quarantine for days would try many people's patients. but imagine being there and looking after a child with learning difficulties. so it was the reality for, for him rockman, whose 9 year old son, her severe autism. she said he had a full meltdown on the 4th day of their isolation for his claims. the british authorities had refused to grant her

a quarantine exemption. she shared her frustrations with on do you for i know you just don't know. you don't know what struck or john what eaters will cause a cell note. i tried my day to get all the things home cooked meals and things so it can be said that the trigger basis is more even though you've had enough things for 40. i know that now all managed room for 11 days with no access to the world and more so it would be a routine being stuck in a hotel room for 10 days for some usable for in travel to pakistan with her 2 children back in march to care for her ill mother while she was there, the country was added to the case, travel read list. that meant the family was required to isolate for 10 days and a government mandated cording. tino tel upon arrival. back in the u. k. following

her sons melted, she was allowed to leave the hotel, complete her quarantine at home. the government insists the measures in place are to keep everyone safe. they recognize that the impact rules have on many people, for he recommend again is still confused. why she and her children weren't allowed to quarantine at home in the 1st place, given the circumstances to research on the government said, you can apply for an exemption on terms of medical basis. so what i was applying for was who gave me the commission to call in gene in the house. we were going to pull all the corner case prior to getting on the plane. we were going to come back and get the case. so for me, it was like, so going to take all the precautions not to make sure that we don't pass on if we do have all the fees divided so we would just take on the for. so what i was asking was just one quarantine rather than a hotel calling to have such a being more obviously feasible for danielle and spell at whom the

french president has launch legal action against the owner of hundreds of billboards who stuck up posters in a couple of them depicting a manual ma chrome does adolph hitler, that's despite the countries leader being a storage defender of free speech repeatedly volume over the years that you can say, and you can show anything in your classroom, liberty, the bliss there is also in france. the freedom to bless fee which is attached to the freedom of conscience from where i stand. i'm here to protect all these freedoms. so it's not up to me to qualify the choices of journalists. i can only say that in france, we can criticize governments, presidents to be blasphemous, et cetera. it was to be french to defend the right to make people love the freedom to mock, to ridicule, to caricature which will tear claimed was the source of all the others. when he gets you will not give up caricatures drawings, even if father's retreat. but it seems that hitler billboard was no laughing matter

for the president who's not suing the man behind the poster said he's been summoned to appear in the local police station and slammed mister macross for hypocrisy in macro and land. making fun of the profits 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 the presume is also enshrined in the declaration of the rights of man and all the citizen. so that does have limits whether or not they extend to the some billboard depicting corn as hitler is another matter. it was erected as part of protection against the cooper team restrictions in placing problems, but it picked his anger so much. so he's now steering its creator. misha owens,

feel the who defends the 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. all of them was in profit loss do not call and defended. it's right to do so that fresh publication, the response, all faith own chain reaction needing finally to the beheading of a shot. so by taking out a billboard, is this a case of coal and having double found my story from microphone know because when it comes to making characters of our prophet mohammed, it 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 that's he should do what he did for surely abdur and defend freedom of expression. we oh, yes,

i understand that he feels offended when compared to hitler is nothing to be prouder. so i can understand that he's offended, but on the other hand, he defends a certain freedom of expression. it's a little paradox to go to planning for mandatory vaccinations and health policies have triggered to protests in france. now some demonstrators come head, the country to a dictatorship, but it seems that my 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 shooting to take a leaf out book and accept such caricature as part of being the head of faith. who wants yes, he was upset because it concerns him personally. but when it concerns millions of muslims who a french who work in 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 as obvious and not very pleasant. yes, there is freedom of expression, but i think this goes a bit saw he should book himself together because it's a caricature. the guy just wants to make fun of him and shouldn't really offend here. remains a fairly negative figure, but 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. but it's not the 1st time that an image has been published, showing my comb with a likeness to hitler back in 2018. the french daily viewed, this is the cover photo on its weekly magazine. so that feed provoke, sharp criticism. at the time, the paper said that it wasn't the intent to do that, and all was hunky dory. and while citizens in france enjoyed the right to insult

the president, mack cool, just as an would really fits in is protected him. so from in self 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. bought perhaps by suing the billboards, create a macro, and he's actually being counter productive here in the fact that he is warring even more attention to it. so let the be ski r t paris. among the reaction we go to, this was from a french human rights campaigner who believes the country. so let's go by the rules . we saw him going to court instead of in the morning phrasing, shall you do it for they are cartoons. and in the afternoon, the afternoon, a scalding shop window, a french joy and lisa for doing his job wasn't sure that is. and now we see at this

reaction for him, because so not 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 adds to the floor or the blog, the, you know, the, the arab, the movie, the women, etc. but once you mixed the and of the fall where he placed the presidential cell, now you are facing prosecution. yes, he has a right to argue with a president, he's so he should be the person who guarantee that everybody has a white expression. he's a president, he should be above that. ok time in moments for an extended set time with a man who's how the your of many american presidents done the years are not just franklin graham. washington. moscow relations and u. s. policing methods are among the topics, touched. it is an interesting chart on the right in the

from germany where a long study finds that the, the biomass of sly inside the weight of flying insects fell by 76 percent in the last 26 years. so in just becoming much, much less common, which means all the jobs that they do and not being done anymore, and that that is the real danger. and that's what's going to impact on up to or me say, is franklin graham, america's most prominent evangelical, you also call the president of some are to pass on the billy graham evangelistic association. thank you for joining me. what does it mean to be a spiritual leader? to present what does that involve? well, you have to be very careful as to what you say and insert. i want to keep

those conversations private. that's very important. i know your president and the student present fulton in this country, you know, says very difficult to forgive people that betray and i think is right. for clergyman, we cannot betray the confidence of president or someone that we're dealing with spiritually. and so my father was very careful and i try to be careful to do you feel the burden of that responsibility or indeed sort of the power. you know, when you're speaking at your festival, he's got such an incredible reach. you know, there are 90 to 100000000 evangelicals. i think in the u. s. at the moment your father himself spoke, i think in total 2 over 200000000 in 185 countries. i mean that is

a huge responsibility. you have to be so careful with ones was because you know, that could be real consequences. you do have to be very careful and, and i don't think, i mean, i'm sure there are many times i have failed. but we are strive to be careful. we realize that god has put us in this position and we don't take that lightly. god can also take us out of that position if he wants. i'm on, i'm bassett, or the king of kings and the lord of lords and that jesus christ. i put my faith in trust in him and i'll follow him. and i believe that when christ died on the cross, he 9 for the sins of mankind all sins. and if we repent and turn from those sins and put our faith and trust in him, god will forgive our sins and heal our hearts and. and this.
