me. ready ready i the, the, the the shocking revelations bible, gary's health ministers. he admits coded vaccination failures across the country. almost 10000 lines should athletes at the tow carolyn picks keep up knocking gold. it's less west the major on the police increasingly seeing read they question the teams, right? the even visa and patches of chemical waste, contaminated soil and toxic emissions and environmental specialist outlines for the potential dangers this weeks and deadly blasting germany. from mechanical point of view, it is really possible to imagine a huge catastrophe. and when all that the inhabitants do not know what they might

be exposed to. ah hey, that's very good afternoon. great. have you with us here on our team who gary is health minister, has admitted that the multiple failures in tackling cove it in the country as a disastrous consequences in a startling revelation. he said that nearly 10000 lives could have been saved if the inoculation campaign had been properly organized. bulgaria is sacrifice in the older generation. we did not give priority to people over 60 and people were serious illnesses were immunized smelly. john, an active people for 5 months, and the most vulnerable groups were abandon. 4 out of every 5 coven deaths in the country were among elderly people. of the failures cited by the minister include poor logistics and iras, regarding vaccine procurement,

the government prioritized astrazeneca champ over other vaccines, with the company's own distribution problems. meaning a slow rollout by severe the other side, left bulgaria, among the worst hit by the pandemic globally. with the 9th highest covey mortality writes me, while in germany, where there's been a more successful vaccine rollout. the question now is whether i should be more freedom for those who are immunized politicians deeply divided on the matter on correspondence to all of us. 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 move freedoms. the president 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 vax not should stick to the principle that those who have been vaccinated recovered or have a negative covered test, should retain all their freedoms. that just this minister is against mandatory vaccination. but those believe that everybody who can get a job should get one. the result was in german politics. 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 on constitutional and would clearly contradict defined a mental 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

a vaccination. 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 control over all t in cologne. germany still ahead in the program, it's current, coven travel restrictions. the british mother of a child with severe autism has spoke her outrage of being forced to isolate in a quarantine hotel when suddenly went into meltdown. to bring that little 1st russian athletes a continuing their impressive medal whole at the tokyo games, reaching double figures in gold medals this friday, it means the russian olympic committee as they are referred to. and i'll set forth in the table, but you'll be hard pressed to find many celebrating that success. my colleague in,

in a neil discuss the story with all the sky tyler? well, the lympics should be a huge celebration and ne athletes all disciplines 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 towards the russian lymph committee, or r c dot carney rank thought in total metal. 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 start to 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 me, could dig about state sponsored doping out to the russian who beat them. he said that my gold medal is the combination of nothing but life from dedication yesterday

doubles the sport. 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 this 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 those comments might not seem direct to any one particular or country, others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of a sole lose one us row. for example, said that russians shouldn't even be the 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. now tell me, 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. the cost is doesn't reflect reality how much she wants it to. the truth is, russian athletes are allowed to compete, but under certain strict conditions are the result of an ongoing reduced number of

historic clean, clean russian athletes are allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them the flag out of course the countries name hadn't r a c and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international olympic 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 malice. yeah, new and fair comments, direct or otherwise, as you're saying indirectly the last number of they're including the swimmers. what's the media? how to say? well, unfortunately, the hostility towards the r a c 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 to learn that they actually winning metals, beautiful music. and although window dressing such as calling itself, the rush and limpid committee to suggest an appearance of neutrality cannot mask

the stench of corruption and appeasement. the eye sees entire plan completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians 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, right? about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly of course what happened was they deserved. so one way hoping that the media will kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the trying on the losses of those a limb can. well, unfortunately have 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 do p scheme amongst fresh enough. he's back in 2014 washer, was bound for 4 years, many major international sporting events, and that will delay to reduce to 2 years. now, russian officials did come out, they admitted mistakes had been made in the antidote program,

but they also did claim that the band was politically motivated. but the truth is, is that is the past, have been repercussions for that. what's happening now in tokyo was essentially the demonized ation of hundreds of proven clean athletes who up playing by the rules down to a team who are also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer. exactly. they all day on the 3rd, have to team off on 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 leads that despite all of this that they've managed to block out all that noise and still keep mounting when his podium independent journalist rick sterling believes that the original piece promoting intention of the olympics is getting lost. 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 sports situation. i think it'll 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. the current will only just the full and on the tokyo games and round a week's time before it opens again on the paralympics and tomorrow's. these final preparations are on the way journalist and partly to me to acknowledge that went along to get a taste of one of the toughest disciplines. pirates. hi quando. 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 sports center. he used to train people without any disability, but now you have a whole army of power athletes. what's that like? that's 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 paralympic combat support. 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. have a mouth guard and helmet with a face shield. we also have handle growing protection,

as well as an electronic chest protector, leg pads, and 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 an extra socks with 12 senses. you get points if you hit the sensor. so you can receive even more points if lambda spinning kick. how is the when a determined by the number of points? so the number of points is equal to the number of blows, the more points you get, the high, your place? yes, each tried last 2 minutes. not 3 rounds with one minute breaks. taekwondo is the rapid pool. it's not only about fighting, it's about. thank you. everyone has reached such a high level to get to the lympics 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 into sports. people normally retire from taekwondo at the age of 30, but 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 tuesdays explosion at a chemical plant in labor kids in germany left 5 people dead with 2 still missing. now locals in the area are coming across pieces of chemical waste home from search that was created by the smoke released in the incident. the blast and aftermath of cause greenpeace, to sound the alarm. 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 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 plans that have 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 do not know what they might be exposed to. while the $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured at the site including night tracing compounds, notably used for the production of explosives, the plant makes petro and silicon chemicals as well. while contaminated hazardous waste is handled and this was the scene, pollution levels are currently being monitored after that thick black cloud below from the site for almost 4 hours after the blast locals remain shot still, it won't happen. so, but trouble. i didn't go out yesterday. we weren't 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 that employ $30000.00 workers at the time of the blast, locals were told to stay inside and close all windows. the greenpeace x that we spoke to though, believes that people being told enough about potential dangerous uncertainties to rain. 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 in 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 a powder keg? me a large settlements still tell me a furious french president take some bridge of becoming the post the boy of a french billboard, who depicted him as a moral not to bring the match, kaiser's financial survival guide. liquid assets are those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in mind, no out, it's amanda inflation watch guys reported to be with

me. ah ah ah ah ah. you report the ledges. the u. s. spent collective of musicians and artists to sewing sees of descent in cuba,

in an effort to de stabilize the government. the group in question is called the sun is see the movements comprises if a cuban wrappers wrote musicians, artists, and journalists, the u. s. s allegedly spent millions of dollars on them to gain sway among cuba is marginalized youth movement members as spoken out in support of american sanctions . former us president donald trump and even military intervention in cuba. and we spoke with the author of the investigation editor in chief of the greys on max blumenthal. what amazed me aside from the fact that the wall street journal in rolling stone have credited this group of artists and performers with providing in their words, the catalyst for the day of protests we saw in cuba. was that the national endowment for democracy in arm of the u. s. government. that bank role is regime change operations abroad actually laid out in explicit strategy in 2009 to weaponized marginalized and d socialized youth. and that very same year, usa id,

another arm of the u. s. government, which is an intelligence front in many cases began approaching anti government hip hop wrappers in cuba. promoting them and even creating social media platforms to promote their anti government lyrics. and this is a program that has continued today and culminated with the rise of the senate seizure movement. and this anthem part 3 e veto, which has become the slogan of these anti government anti communist cuban protests . and its program aimed at providing help to cuba, usa, it says that it will be supporting young people, women, l, g, p, t, groups, artists, tons, individuals of afro cuban descent. it also says culture projects will be funded to bring about social changes on the island and for all of they sit is allocated $2000000.00 us dollars. while the u. s. finance is cultural programs on cuba. the

other remains under severe economic sanctions has been under us embargo for more than a century since 1962. and this year, the general assembly voted overwhelmingly against some estimates bookkeepers, economic losses from the embargo at around 150000000000 dollars this month to keep its largest protest for decades. people were demanding more freedom and a better response to the pandemic. he was president accused washington, inciting the mass demonstration for the us says it one thing, stable country like when it's all, again, says that the americans meddling more than ever in cuban offense. well, there's nothing there. there's nothing surprising about this except the, the intense interest in the you among the u. s. intelligence front like usa id now run by samantha power in weapon ising. a group that will soon become the demographic majority in cuba, which has suffered enormously under the blockade. and that's afro cubans,

and they spell this out explicitly in their documents. and that's why hip hop is becoming a vehicle that the u. s. likes to use it budgeted $110000.00 for a hip hop, n g o in columbia to go and train hip hop artists in cuba to become quote unquote democratic leaders. and so what we see is the u. s. actually exploiting and trying to create racial divisions in cuban society. in fact, doing what many liberals and democrats in the united states accused russia of doing with no evidence with black lives matter. that's actually the operational program in cuba right now. in order to paint this state that has been racially progressive, which is given asylum to black, american dissidence, which fought apartheid south africa to paint it as racially regressive. and even structurally racist. the french president lost the legal action

against the owner of 100 the billboards who stuck up posters on a couple of them depicting ammonia metro this at hitler. the spot in the countries lead to being a storm defender of free speech repeatedly vowing over the is that you can say and show anything in france. the bliss 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 only say that and fraud will, can criticize governments, presidents to be blasphemous, et cetera, to be friendship, to defend the right to make people love the freedom to mom and to really killed to caricature which will tear claimed was the source of all the others. will not give up caricatures drawings, even the fathers retreat look the same, they hit the billboard was no laughing master for the president who is now suing them. i'm behind the post. it says that he's been summoned to appear at his local police station and slammed mister macro for hypocrisy in macro of 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 france, presume is also enshrined in the declaration of the rights of the citizen. so that does have limits whether or not they extend to the some billboard, depicting mach cool as hitler is another matter. it was erected as part of protection against the cook, with $900.00 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 that 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, lofty court and defended right? to do so. that fresh publication, those sparked all faces chain reaction leading finely to the heading of a sheet. so by taking out a billboard, is it the case of coal and having double sand my story from microphone know because when it comes to making characters of our prophet mohammed does not pose a problem for anyone when it concerns him, it pose the problem. so it's a case of dual standards, and that's wrong. well, he should do what he did for surely abdur and defend freedom of expression. yes, i understand that he feels offended when compared to hitler is nothing to be proud of. so i can understand that he is offended, but on the other hand, defends a certain freedom of expression. it's a little paradoxical. flung from the tree,

vaccinations and health policies have triggered to protests in france. now some demonstrators come head, the country to 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 should he to take a leaf out to book and accept such caricatures the 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 or french who 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 as a vest and not very pleasant. yes, there is freedom of expression, but i think this goes a bit far. she should book himself together because it's

a caricature. the guy just wants to make fun of him and shouldn't really offend here. love 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. the 1st time it's an image has been published, showing mac comb, with a likeness to hit back in 2018 the french daily and youth. this is the cover photo on its weekly magazine page, 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, mark cool, just as an we citizen is protected himself from insults on public defamation. now it's the billboard is 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 in the fact that he is warring even more attention to it. so let me be sky r t. paris, french human rights campaign we spoke to believes the countries, the leads go by their own rules. 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 being a shop window at the french door. the reason for doing his job was a jordan. and now we see this reaction for it was put in the expression would be universal to ever in front. it has never been about freedom of expression for a say 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 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 the rupture of this news. are you watching on say thanks for. company joined me for up the next half an hour. me the one i make? no, certainly no borders and the blind to tease has emerged. we don't have authority, we go to the back seen the whole world needs to take action and be ready and not

just people who judge. 2 crisis we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the

ah, hello, welcome to sophie, go visionaries, me so think chevy knots in our planet via diversity has long been crying for help. and now 100 species could vanish in the face of the earth. and we're talking end of the century. these are one of them. what does their extinction mean for our future? talk to dave colton, professor of biology at the university of sussex and author of silent earth, burning in sic pocket lives. they've got some professor of biology at the university of sussex and author of violent or subverting the in sick pocket lives. welcome to our show. great. have you this pleasure to be here? all right, so when you tell someone that the populations of insects are going down and the most frequent reaction would be what lake. oh, well whatever, there would be less of that annoying but.
