was set the kind of work and needed, and those who do it the in the story that shape the week. a case of negligent homicide is launched after a huge explosion that a key chemical plant in germany killed 5 people environmental group, greenpeace alarms describing the possible impact. and here the main question arises, is an acceptable to place this as it were told to catch me a large settlement. the market by coven skeptics in the gym and capital descended to may with protest of clashing with police. but when recently band or anti lockdown demonstrations amid a 4th wave of infections, as russian athletes and all the battles that the lympics western meteor and competitors are increasingly seeing, read as they question the teams. right. to be that i think is a great opportunity. we seen so many changes already,

and i'm not worried when it should be confirmed because we don't want to be just a vehicle for the latest 5 that comes along. american whistleblower daniel hale is sentenced almost 4 years in jail for leaking information on us drove warfare. we heard from others who would also follow that conscience and shed government secrets when we kill civilians. and then put in the official reports that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime. it's really a war untruth. and i just went to the government. is that war with its own people? ah . hello and welcome to the weekly from, are you trying to catch up on some of the headline news we've reported on here over the past 7 days. first, an explosion has major chemical plans in germany on tuesday killed 5 people. 2 more are still missing right now. police have opened

a case of negligent homicide. initial investigation suggests there's no risk to public health from toxins when more detail tests expected in the coming days. the site is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing 30000 workers. more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured at the sites including elements for the production of explosives. greenpeace voiced the concern over the blast impact. 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 tend to the environment they're collected and burned. and it is such a plans that have now suffered 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 the explosion on the subsequent fire receive incineration plan. just behind me,

residents were initially told to remain inside. keep that windows and doors closed . a tentative all clear was given following tests that were carried out by the state and federal environmental protection services. those tests would be looking at the quality of the, the soil as well as looking at re, was set that fallen from cloud sort of been 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 that talks and were released into the atmosphere following the fire and explosion. now we have seen a lot of messages being given out to people in the local area, warning them not to eat anything that's being grown in their gardens in the, the nearby area. also telling people not to allow children to use playgrounds, don't sit in garden furniture or anybody that has a swimming pool in there by god. to use that either,

there's also been warning about making sure that you take off footwear, outside of your home. if you're in one of the areas with london now, despite these warnings being given out, activists told off see that while a number of people still unsure what they should be doing to uncertainty to rein 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, is it have an acceptable to place this as it were? powder tags, near large settlements, life has pretty much returned to normal and leave accrues, 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 is who are on the scene so quickly. but

a lot of people looking towards that information we're expecting to hear about long term effects. that could be that this is the most densely populated area of germany . a lot of people living in the nearby surrounding not just of labor crews and but also city like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall patches of her up to didn't. central berlin, those covert skeptics, protest against long running restrictions to curb the disease. but the day before the capital ban such rallies saying they could increase infections. the germany, these many restrictions in recent months, some often in place such as mandatory math,

wearing on public transport. despite to relatively low number of new daily coated cases in germany, the number is still rising. german federal institute responsible for disease control, says the 4th wave of the pandemic has already begun that sophia olympics, russian athletes at his flag and impressive metals hole on saturday, the sabbath t one gold after victory over france. so far that it's the 11th gold to the so called russian limbic committee, or r o c t, which now sits, fits in the table. however, you'd be hard pressed to find many saluting their success the russian state and for the fish will split 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. ok,

well in response to that statement, the international olympic committee says that anyone can say whatever they want, a sure the rushes athletes are the most scrutinized. at the moment i'll tease unit o'neill and saskia tend to discuss the apparent bias and reactions to the success. well, the olympics should be a huge celebration and ne, asking 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 hostile, it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, very little good sportsmanship, both from the global media and of course from photo competitors. for example, us women, 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 for the russian who beat them. he said that my bold metal is the combination of nothing but life from dedication yesterday

doubles the sport. i have always stood for nothing but clean competition. i haven't 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 tell while those comments might not seem directed to any one particular or country. others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of soul 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 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 that russian athletes are allowed to compete, but on certain strict conditions as

a result of an ongoing reduced number of historically clean russian athletes are allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them. the flag out, of course the country's name hadn't r a c and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international impact 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 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 the 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 the peace meant the i seized 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. samaritan 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 does they deserved? so if one were hoping that the media will kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offense on the time, on the losses of those limp can. 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 doping scheme amongst freshen athletes back in 2014 washer. was found for 4 years from any major international sporting events and about will today to reduce to 2 years now. russian officials did come out, they admitted mistakes 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 demon is 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 all on us and china. so it's really good if the cation by those, by the media 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 of some thoughts on this, an independent journalist rick sterling believes the original message of the lympics 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. whistleblower in the us has been sentenced almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about america's drug program. while serving of the background base in afghanistan a decade ago, daniel hale help identify targets for assassination. when he returned home in 2013,

he shared secret details about the drug program, with journalists from the intercept online due side, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa in march have pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which prevailed. 90 percent of strikes of actually hit civilians. the u. s. ram company drawing program during the bomber administration. and since that it's launch more than $14000.00 strikes and nations like afghanistan, pakistan, that yemen and somalia thousands have been killed with more than $300.00 children among those victims. when we spoke to whistleblower and former us intelligence officer, john kerry aku earlier in the week and attended hales 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 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. what ahead of the sentencing hail wrote a letter detailing some of the things that he'd witnessed in his work, including the deaths of 2 children in a dream strike. he also 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 the safe whenever i encounter an individual who thinks that drove 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, me strode circle 24 hours a day and delivering deaths from the skies. i have turned most of the muslim world against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hale understood that and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have a debate if 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 hale, 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. another well known whistleblower waited on twitter. edward snowden condemned the cause decision and praised hale. wilson got reaction from a former us drone operator who was so lifted the lead on what his work involved. random bryant says the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public aware his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on, through the night just whistleblowers. we've got people that have been propagating this war over in 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. yeah. you have to bear witness for not just some unfeeling part of the machine you're feeling. 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 is 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 . it's august the 1st picture you might find upsetting and more of our top stories of the last 7 days. police brutality in america captured on camera again the violent arrest of a colorado man has the officers involved facing charges. it's the next story after this the

ah, with me ah ah, i use to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the again next on the weekly. another active police brutality has been caught on camera in the united states to offices in colorado. been charged over the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race man, please be aware that the next video we're about to show you does contain graphic violence. oh, what do i know? i do put your hands on for you. okay. don't stop it. oh, oh, oh. oh, the police officer's identified call vinson is being wanted for several offences, and after 2 other men sled it to initially comply with the officers commands during the arrest, but then resisted while being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked,

forced to face down on the ground, and pistol whipped by an officer. benson was then taken to hospital needing treatment. the officers in question have since been charged with using excessive force. the local police chief condemned their conduct. does not police work. we don't train this, not acceptable. the definition of police were tele is itself is a problem. you are you, you use the force necessary to effect in a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep the citizen safe and you actually keep the person that you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the strict cop is not to punish. that's the job of the courts. so white edition, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derrick sheldon, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. there is a serious epidemic and a serious problem. and then police officers, history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many times that person been

accused, or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed to use. because if somebody'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 policeman as a political card. it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your base for more voting. it really just removes programs funding for certain areas, for police officers, almost $200.00 legal border crossings in one single day. that's what you is currently facing with the total number of detained migrant spiking to $3000.00 this summer. and while the small baltic states been denounced for bringing and drastic measures to try to stem, the flow of these shall do been ski in the week, found out that the use dramatically shifted its position of light. you opinion say, said fall all supposed to be in school partners. however,

for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits done for others. take the current situation in a way which is struggling at the moment with an influx of migrant. difficult times call for difficult decisions. this will drastically change the way you immigration policy. it includes the tension of migrant fine on the release of those who are in detention for 6 level. they will be new, right, to a translator, to obtain information about the process. they will also curb the right to appeal decisions and to allow for deportation while is appeals of being examined. do whatever it takes to absolutely ensure that only people who are persecuted for political reasons and have a good ground to look for a political shelter stay here. has been created specifically to deal with my

goodness, coming over from neighboring batteries, lithuania, and you accuse. minutes could be using them as a political tool as relations continue to sour. but critics say the law is a step to fall. the law is a potential human rights violation and it doesn't correspond to directives. it can tries the current bad situation in lithia and in detention centers in law and lives vulnerable people in and even more vulnerable situation. even criticism from the way news form a check of the constitutional court. the proposals which are unconstitutional are based on the premise that all foreigners who cross the border are 2nd class human beings not entitled to constitutional rights conditions in the must detention centers have also been denounced with allegations. my grants are being stripped to fact telephones. they can only got so many for one hour

a day pressure that some say has led to people attempting to take the law. every one detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq since it's a prison. it is the same here. meanwhile, lithuania is embarking on a massive project to keep wouldn't be migrant out. a plan to cover almost the entirety of its food with batteries, with a breeze wire. so what do you think? 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 leave with you and you're alone in this difficult situation. so very supportive, definitely, except one another 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, a being so seriously breached any 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. it says it mashed up the lose or protecting vulnerable migrant by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as other states, such as greece also look to build rules only use external border to keep migrants out. russell's having so much as batted and eyelid leading some to feel that in the

you know, partnerships are indeed equal. ok, that's it for the weekly for now, next week of the story, the astonishingly low paid and hidden workforce, the powering digital lives. the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? tyson lation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is in the world corrupted. you need to descend. ah,

so join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. ah, in my phone are 69. i've done a lot of them. i'll probably just are under the dollar a former isis fighters and they're now boarding a philippine naval ship with this has been $900.00. just aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them to do. can i

get a whole last me will be someone like me seeking the best rights for people for children and that should have the best which occasion us to eval. if the ton of bon continue to post this will be confronted. i want confirmation to be political if they don't allow that. and if they continue to, to, to seek their own domination of, of chemist on the way they incorporate. that will give rise to an uprising without a doubt. and i'll be one of the

this in any way. kemp. it's 20. 27. new 20 is every new. the new one in 2027. sarah takes care of everything. fully petition. just because you will get that daniel. does somebody have to do that? when sarah is a virtual assistant, who knows exactly what's best for you? well, that's about to describe the image when i was able to head for she

showed up. just wanted to swap to i still in addition to process everywhere you go. artificial intelligence, like sarah predicts, your needs and does the work for you. ah ah, with all of these machines working for you is life wonderful in 2027. but let's not get carried away. before sarah changes your life forever. there's another story to tell one with less special effects this.
