greenpeace voice. it concern over the incident. radiation is very difficult for mechanical point of view. it is really possible to imagine a huge catastrophe. we have a phone for the incineration 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 now suffered an explosion. it was these substances which should not be in the environment. the 3 axes, 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 after the explosion on the subsequent fire. if the 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, was set 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 they're pretty sure the talks 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 nearby area. also telling people not to allow children to use playgrounds, done 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 filled off the, the, well, a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. shy,
7:04 am
hashed as an uncertainty to rain. people rode 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 a powder keg? me a large settlements life has pretty much returned to normal and leave a cruise 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 here 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 near by surrounding not just of labor, cruise and but also safety like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall

wildfires found by strong winds reeking devastation across southern turkey. 6 people are now known to have died while the 500 have been treated in hospital so far. coastal town and 18 nearby villages and districts have been evacuated. officials of coal, the situation, a national bizarre step and are also launching an investigation into suspicion that the fires are the result of the turkish president earlier indicated that one had been started by children. helicopters were seen dropping water on the 5. we got more information from the scene. there were a big part sources, defects, as you can see. notice me and the location for each miller. so the more cover all their own. and they start to people who are in the nearby because that's because the people here really stressed
7:06 am
about the situation and we're hoping that they're going to pick the controls and increase trouble as to where roberta and see services are also battling to contain raging forest fires. on saturday, a blaze broke out near patrick said the west country footage shows burning trees and large plumes of thick smoke. towering above the green woodland. foreman, it is an a tourist resorts have been evacuated and around a dozen homes i believe, to have been lost to the 5. 5 people have been hospitalized with breathing problems . all fires on the italian island of sicily have forced the evacuation of dozens of people from the area the mediterranean region to be gripped by waves since friday, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees celsius, took care of and picks russian athletes a continuing their impressive metals, whole saturday, the russians se, but see one gold off the victory of france so far that the 11th gold for the so

called russian olympic committee team, which now sits in the table. however, you'd be hard pressed to find many saluting their success the russian state and sport officials put the dark cloud over themselves and in the process tragically pushed their athletes out in the storm. now these officials want to continue to lie, deny, and attack those with the courage to stand up to the the seat and blatant disregard for the rules and the truth. that's fine because we all know if you cheat, you have no problem lying about your teaching. and respond to that statement. the international olympic committee said that anyone can think what they want, but to show that russia athletes are the most scrutinized. at the moment of these unit r neal and saskia taylor discussed the obvious bias. well, the olympics should be a huge celebration and the athletes all disciplines from all over the world coming together at one event showcasing the skills. unfortunately, for russian athletes competing out this, he has turkey games. that just hasn't been the case. the atmosphere has been so
7:08 am
hostile, it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, and very little good sportsmanship, both from the global media and of course from photo competitors. for example, us women, ryan murphy, who loved to a russian, took a veil flight by saying that he, 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, my bold metal is the combination of nothing but like from dedication yesterday doubles the sport. i have always stood for nothing but clean competition. i have always been always my documents. i've devoted my entire life to the sport and i would never be able to forgive myself if i use some job. so i don't even know how to react to smuggle. now, while those comments might not seem direct to the any one particular asking or country, others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of a sore loser. one us row up, for example,
7:09 am
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 counter. and 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 of 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. and of course, the country's name hadn't receive 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,
7:10 am
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 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 not to learn that the actually winning metals, beautiful music. and although window dressing, such as calling itself the russian, a 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 where 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, worried about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly, of course what happened as they deserved. so one was hoping that the media will
7:11 am
kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the triumph on the losses of those lincolns. well, unfortunately 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 don't pick scheme amongst fresh athletes back in 2014 why she was bound before we as many major international sporting events. and that was to reduce, to 2 years, no rush officials did come out. they admitted mistake 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 are playing by the rules down to a team who are also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer. exactly. they are, they are the 3rd, have to team off on us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes by
7:12 am
the media and not have to say really as a credit to those receipts that despite all of this that they've managed to block out all that noise and still keep mounting when a podium, independent journalist rick sterling believes the original message of the olympics he's 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 nationalist forces that are trying to politicize and polarize the anti doping situation. and the international sports 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
7:13 am
really a shame that the situation is continuing as it is, but hopefully we can get beyond this before too much longer. whistleblower in the u . s. has been sentenced almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about american drug program. while sitting in the back room, ebay said afc understand a decade ago, daniel hale helped identify targets for assassination. when he returned home in 2013, he shared secret details about the drawing program, with journalists from the intercept, revealing a true extent of civilian casualties. in the middle east and africa in march have pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed the 19 percent of strikes of actually hit civilians. the u. s. began its drawing program during the bomber administration. and since then launch more than 14000 strikes in afghan stan, pakistan, yemen, and somalia thousands have been killed with more than 300 children among the
7:14 am
victims. we spoke to whistleblower and for the us intelligence officer john kerry earlier in the week who attended hales at sentencing. hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the court room was packed for daniel hale. it was all quite dramatic, but we were apprehensive because we really didn't have any indication of which way the judge was going to go. and then he surprised everyone by clearing the courtroom and sealing it for 2 hours. while the justice department argued in a classified venue for a sentence of 9 years to me, the fair verdict would have been to, to, for the judge to come off the bench, shake his hand, thank him for his service to the country and let him go home to his family, i didn't think he deserved any prison time at all because he revealed a crime that was being committed by the u. s. government, the crime of, of the murder of innocent civilians. these are war crimes when, when we know that civilians are within the strike rage, that makes it
7:15 am
a crime when we kill civilians and then put in the official report that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime and it became a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing ahead of a sentencing hail wrote a letter detailing some of the things he witnessed in his work, including the deaths of 2 children and one strike, he will so slammed the claim of former president barack obama, that drone killings abroad, protected americans. the policy of drone assassination was being used to mislead the public, that it keeps us safe whenever i encounter an individual who thinks that drone warfare is justified. and reliably keeps america safe. i remember that time and ask myself how i could possibly continue to believe that i am a good person deserving of my life and the right to pursue happiness. please strode circle 24 hours a day and delivering depths from the skies have turned most of the muslim world
7:16 am
against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hail understood that and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have a debate. we don't know the truth and we know the truth about drones because of the courage of daniel. and it's not just about going after someone like hail, it's really kind of a death blow to the press itself because it prohibits the press from shining a light on the inner workings of ours. it's really the misuse of the espionage act which has been continued and other well now we're supply waited on twitter, edward snowden condemned the court decision and praise to hail. we got reaction from a former us drone operation, who also lifted the lead on what his work involved. random bryant says it's the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public a where his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on, through the night, just whistle blowers. we've got people that have been propagating this war over in
7:17 am
the middle east for almost 2 decades. now. the government is at war with its own people. if you can't, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine, yet you have to bear witness for it. not just an unfeeling part of the machine. you're feeling silly. and eventually you have to find yourself in the middle of that storm and be like, you know this. i have to do. i have to do this because if i don't do it, who's going to i find it strange that conscientious individuals that are inside the program that are trying to hold us accountable for the obvious blayton war crimes that we ourselves are doing are being punished. and it seems that they are punishing people in order to make them an example. and that really does disturb me, especially if america supposed to be this great country and freedom fighter amongst the world. how we're punishing our own people who are trying to do the still ahead
7:18 am
this august, the 1st pictures you might find upsetting and more of our top stories of the last 7 days. police brutality in america captured on camera. again, the volunteer rest of colorado has the offices involved facing charges will report on that after the break. ah, join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then me the the the, the,
7:19 am
the, the, the, the, the the, the news, ah, hello again, another active police brutality is being caught on camera in the united states to officers in colorado have been charged over the voted of arrest, of an unarmed mixed race, man, please be aware that the next video does contain graphic violence. oh, what do i do? both i do. what's your hands out front of you?
7:20 am
okay. don't you stop it? oh, oh. 6 0, i don't have the police officers identified the suspect. call vinson as being wanted by the authorities for several offences. and after 2 other men fled, vinson appeared to initially comply with the officers commands during the rest, but then resisted while he was being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked forth, faced down on the ground and pistol whipped by an officer. then some was then taken to hospital leading treatment. and the officers in question have since been charged with using excessive force and the aurora police chief strongly condemned. that conduct does not police work, we don't train. this is not acceptable. the definition of police brutality is itself is a problem. you, 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 the you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer,
7:21 am
the strict cop is not to punish. that's the job of the courts to wind up dishing that a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derek shoulder and 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 and a serious problem. and that police officers history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times is 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's 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 defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police movement 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 its officers almost $200.00 illegal border crossings in one single day. that's what

let you and use border is an external you border which is currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of migrants and asylum seekers. these people, many of them vulnerable need urgent support, such as food and shelter. the european union and other member states will not flee . let us alone in this difficult situation. sounds very supportive, doesn't it? except when a noble in human hungry took a similar action, only use external border with serbia. following a wave of migration in 2015, the tone from brussels couldn't be any more different. we cannot accept the basic values of the european union being so seriously breached as one like hungry who built fences against war, refugees, or breaches. press freedom and the independence of the justice system should be temporarily or permanently excluded from the you. last year's top court found hungry, guilty of breaking assign. the rules says it's mashed up the lose of protecting
