the the, the merge by coby skeptics in the german capital descends into may with protested clashing with police. but in any just found all anti locked down demonstrations amid a 4th wave of infections. also ahead of the stores that shaped the week. a case of negligent homicide is launched after a huge explosion that a key chemical plant in germany kills 5 people environmental grid. greenpeace alarms describing the possible impact. here. the main question arises, is an acceptable to place this as it were told to tags, near large settlements as russia athletes notch up, the metals that the limpid western media and competitors are increasingly seeing

red is the question the teams right to be there. the american whistleblower daniel hale is sentenced to almost 4 years in jail for leaking information on the us drug warfare we had from others who would also follow that conscience and shed government secrets 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. it's really a war on truth. and i just went to the government war with its own people. ah, hello, good to happy with us. this is our p from oscar. it's the weekly. so to a chance to catch up on some of the headline stories from the past week that we've been reporting on here, we've got today's developments to bring you up to speed on 1st crashes of erupt in central berlin as cobit skeptics, protest against long running restrictions to curb the disease, but it's only

a day since city lead us band such rallies over the risk of spreading infections. the me, ah, the germany have these many with kitchens in recent months, but some often in place such as mandatory mouth flaring on public transport. despite the relatively low case load of daily news cases and the number is rising, a federal institute responsible for disease control says the 4th wave of the panoramic has already begun last hour. a german political analyst i spoke to says the authorities have taken no issue with similar gatherings that didn't challenge that policy. some of the most the most

track down on positions in germany, the receipt and reading memory trace and not telling the government not to go forward and even counter quite organized by government coalition to be in the middle of berlin today. only the whole thing were taking today meeting were arrested. the german government to berlin regional government allow much of a time over 80 people last weekend for one of your lots of gay life parade. to be held in the street, the berlin patient of the mayor. and of course, the police are not cracked out on the back of the pretend been wearing mosley though they were kissing and the 3 is there i am the german. but so the same

way the product, the today should have the ability to take care, ryan, freedom of a family and thought that the b e in there in the journal got onto the week's big stories then and an explosion of the major chemical plant in germany. on tuesday killed 5 people with 2 more still missing. police have opened the case of negligent homicide. initial investigation suggests there's no risk to public health from toxins with more detail tests expected in the coming days. the site itself is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing $30000.00 workers. more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured at the site, including elements for the production of explosives, greenpeace, for states concern over the last impact. the situation is very difficult for mechanical point of view. it is really possible to imagine a huge catastrophe. we haven't found 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 suffered 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 the explosion of the subsequent fire at 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 toxins were released into the atmosphere following the fire and ex lucian . 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 16 garden furniture, or anybody that has a swimming pool in their garden. not to use that either. there's also being 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 of sold off the, the, well, a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. house uncertainty to rain people, road 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 tags, near large settlements, life has pretty much returned to normal in labor 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 were accelerated area of germany, a lot of people living in the nearby surrounding not just of labor, cruise and but also cities like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall in the tokyo lympics russian athletes are displaying and impressive metals hold on saturday, the se, but see one gold after victory of france, so far that it's the 11th scolds the so called russian olympic committee, or r o c team, which now sits in the table. however, you'd be hard pressed to find many saluted 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. in response to that statement, the international olympic committee says that anyone can think whatever they want, but a show that russia's athletes all the most scrutinized at the moment. i'll teach unit or neil and saskia taylor discuss the power of bias and reactions to the success will be lympics should be a huge celebration and need athletes all discipline 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, and very little good sportsmanship,

both from the global media and of course from photo competitors. for example, us when ryan murphy, who love to a russian, took a veil. swipe by saying that he probably, that it probably wasn't a keen race, a comment that he later back tracked on. but by that a british swim, i'd also come out and couldn't help. may, could dig about state sponsored, don't hang out to the russian who beat them. he said, my bold metal is the combination of nothing like from dedication yesterday doubles the sport. i have always stood for nothing but clean competition. i haven't always been and i always go outside documents. i've devoted my entire life to this 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 mobile. how well, thanks comments might not seem directed to any one particular asking or country. others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of soul lose one us robot, 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, russian athletes are allowed to compete, but under certain strict conditions are the 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 received and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international 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 face with this wave of bitterness and malice. yeah, new into 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 r a c team is really tenfold in western media. some of the headlines 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 russian 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 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. busy 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 the one. we're hoping that the media will kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the trying send them losses also is lempke as well. unfortunately,

we've been pretty 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 think scheme amongst russian athletes back in 2014 was was bound for, for we had so many major international sporting events and about will say to reduce to 2 years now, russian officials did come out, the admitted mistake had been made in the antidote program, but they also did claim that it's about what's 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 off on us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes 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. but when his podium was all about him, mind, 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 sport 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. and whistleblower in the united states has been sentenced to almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about america's drug program. while serving the bag room ad base in afghanistan a decade ago, daniel hale helped identify targets for assassination. when he returned home in 2013, he shared secret details about the dram program with journalists from the intercept, online news side, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa. in march, i pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed that 90 percent of strikes had actually had civilians where the us ramped up its drone program during the barbara administration. and since then, it's launched more than $14000.00 strikes in nations like afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, and somalia. thousands have been killed with more than 300 children among those victims. we spoke to whistleblower informing us intelligence officer john kerry

archive in the week who attended hales. a sentencing hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the courtroom 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 court room 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 range, 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 crimes and it became a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing ahead of the sentencing hail wrote to the cold, detailing some of the things that he witnessed in his work, including the deaths of 2 children in a drug strike, he also slammed the claim of former president barack obama, the drone kennings 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

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 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 power. it's really the misuse of the espionage act which has been continued when another well known whistle blower white in on twitter, edward snowden, condemned the court decision and praise tale. this will go reaction from a former us drone operator who also lifted the lid on what is work involved. brenda brian says in the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public away, 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

the middle east for almost 2 decades. now. the government is at war with its own people. if you can, 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, your feelings. 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 is 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're punishing people in order to make them an example. and that really does disturb me, especially if america to be this great country and freedom fighter amongst the world. how we're punishing our own people who are trying to do the sort of had this

august. the 1st and pictures you might find. i'm setting a more of all top still reasonable after 7 days police brutality in america capture the camera again the bought into rush, the colorado man has the offices involved facing charges, and it's the next story after the break ah, driven by adrian shaped banks control center those vision in me dares thing we dare to ask in

ah ah me ah, for the weeks of stories and another and 2 of police brutality has been caught on camera in the united states, 2 officers in colorado have been charged over the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race matter, please be aware that the next video does contain graphic violence. oh,

what do i do? oh, i do put your hands on front of you. okay. don't stop it all. 6 of the police officers identified kyle vinson as being wanted for several offences, but after 2 other men fled, he appeared to initially comply with the officers commands during the arrest, but resisted while being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked, forced face down on the ground, and pistol whipped by an officer, been sum was then taken to hospital leading treatment. the opposite in question have since been charged with using excessive force and the local police chief condemned that conduct. does not police work? we don't train this not acceptable. the definition of police were jelly 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 street car is not the punish. that's the job of the courts. so white of dish, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derek 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, a serious problem. and then police officers, history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other 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 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. the d from the police moment 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 police officers, almost $200.00 illegal border crossings in

a single day. that's what you need 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 multi shall to do bend ski. and the weak found that the he used dramatically shifted its position of light. beer 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 lithuania, which is going at the moment with an influx of migrant. difficult times call for difficult decisions. this will drastically change the way new immigration policy. it includes the tension of migrant a bond on the release of those who are in detention for 6 months. they will be new, right, to a translator, to obtain information about the toilet 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 gordon's coming over from neighboring batteries, lithuania and the you accuse, minutes can be using them as a political tool as relations continue to sour. but critics say the law is a step to fall the law as a potential human rights violation. and it doesn't correspond to you directives, it and tries the current bad situation and little in, 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 allegation, my group being stripped to fact telephone that they can only got side for one hour, a day pressure that some say has led to people attempting to take that law. everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq since it's a prison. it is the same here. clean while this away is embarking on a massive project to keep, wouldn't be migrant out. it plans 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 butterball, need urgent support, such as food and shelter. the european union and other member states will not leave . let us alone in this difficult situation. very supportive doesn't accept 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. and he won 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 migrant out. brussels hasn't so much as batted and eyelid leading some to feel that in the, you know, partnerships are indeed equal. okay, that's the way. keep this out. thanks for watching the tackling the world's got busting waste lines next in globe b to b. i me the news

know what would you love you to log back in my truck and while we're on by now, i know i should know moment the new york on mon deals on miles like on them and it will that will allow you to go for have an initiation of national with much i should be out. there are small lot of people, but no, no, i mean it's going to be a good one out my my name is

i lose me . the obesity epidemic is the most important international health problem. me let me get plenty of time. i think we saw the basal and i don't think just the factory . it's a man made tragedy. ah, earlier my life, i thought that my weight was all my fault. i felt like a failure and frankly, unworthy. ready and it took me awhile to really start question,

believes and challenging those thoughts like well, are you really a failure? and the answer is no, i'm not. i'm not. but it took a while to get to that point. ah, obesity. a blob of our arrows fantasies caught in a web was prejudiced. it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness. unlimited genes provide an alibi. what it will be city were a collective failure, not an individual one symptom of a free market that hates that. that produces fax, those and a b for genic society. the news, the global phenomenon, not one country to talk to the.
