ah ah ah, a march by step picks in the german capital descends into may have with protested, clashing with police and had only just bound on to lock down demonstrations. i'm at a full place of infection is are all says and now have proof, but iran on thursday at thomas the tank off the post of amman, killing to prime minister enough tony bennett, calls it a reminder of rainy and aggression. however, toronto denies the claims also the story to shape the week. a case of negligent homicide is no one softer. huge explosion, not a key chemical plant in germany killed spies, environmental group screenplays, alarms describing the impact was in here. the main question arises,

isn't of an acceptable to place this as it were told the tags near large settlements. and american whistleblower, daniel hale sentenced almost 4 years in jail for leasing information on us. we heard from others who it also followed that conscience and said government secret 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 on truth, not just with the government war with its own people. ah, it's sunday, it's our teens, national. so it's the weekly when we take a look at some of the biggest stories of the past 7 days. welcome. let's start with how classes have a rough incentive. berlin. thousands of covert gap picked protests against long running restrictions with police detaining nearly $500.00 demonstrators. it's only

a day, so 50 need a band soft. ronnie's over the risk of spreading the disease. the ah, the most people have been arrested in berlin to be after a demonstration against my to extend the standards into it. further protesters to try and believe in multiple people in the west in raleigh was not authorized by police. actually, it was only one of the values that they were trying to get the food for,

but they were services and all of them have been sincere, invite german police out. all of them are back ever actually received from this, you know, proceed with their demonstrations curves. and left for or lateral thinking group, they decided to fight further. the, if you would, the fully system in the higher administered supports and early him, which also agreed to actually we police and bound to older them. i was henry back, you can see a huge rewards were, can on the attic. that's only one. that is lloyd here over the huge police presence over the sea. and it's been quite hard to be honest to you even move around. but i also this morning that it was actually working out by the saw the culture on the top of the slide all around the are actually petroleum

monitoring for size of pro tasks gathering here. and there this all happens. the german government has recently indicated that there 3 miles to confirmed coal read 19 cases could serve costs all 100 pieces and left them to mom unless you are strict sense being brought. unless more people do that themselves to jeff and also just recently the age for the germans come for onto america. has sad about those people who decided damage relationships more strict english for ask the government suddenly contain the reference of virus and context. for example, this case, and one of the man who is i would say more about

your kill allowed me to jump on a daily basis. and you do need to do that to me before that who can answer any facility, use any interest team and just provide and approve that to you, or if you haven't tested without ever. and now it's been decided that certain from september measure would change. how many? 02, just like i said, people to pay for those unless it was priced by john political honest, added the speech and took off so late, told us that authorities have taken no issue with similar gatherings that didn't challenge the policies. some of the most well,

the most content track down on a position in germany, the receipt and reading memory trace and not how the government are allowed to go forward. and how does that work quite organized by government clinician to be in the middle of the day. only the whole thing were taking today were arrested. the german government, berlin, regional government allow, not over time over 80000 people last weekend for one of your lots of game parade, to be held in the street, the berlin classification of america. and of course, the police and not cracked out on the back. and been wearing mosley though they were kissing and the 3 is there i am the german. but so in the same way

the pro to the today. sure to take care. i read about family and the b. e in there. thing the whole thing and tommy, an explosion of a major chemical plant on tuesday has killed 5 people with 2 more still missing police have opened a case of negligent homicide. initial investigation suggests that is no risk to public health from toxins. with more detailed test expected in the coming days. now the site is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing 13000 walk of more than 5000 chemicals manufactured at the site computing elements. the production of explosives, greenpeace voiced the 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 have planned for the incineration of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances for obvious reasons should not enter the environment . they're collected and burned, and it is such a plan that has no stuff,

it's an explosion. it was the substances which should not be in the environment. the 3 axes, 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 on the subsequent fire receive incineration plans 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 rainwater. it's 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 wanting them not to eat anything that's been growing in their gardens, in 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 their garden not to use 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 of told off see that while a number of people still unsure what they should be doing to a certain to, 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 sub says have reacted and what actually happened. and here the main question arises,

isn't of an acceptable to place this as it were, how the 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 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 near by surrounding not just of labor crews and but also cities like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall. yeah, it's a prime minister nationally. bennett says he now has proof that iran carried out his deadly attack in the rape and see on a tank killing between israeli 1000000000. a 2 crew members were killed then. however, toronto denies responsibility. well, let's bring in now corresponding intent of the pool. pool up. what exactly,

all the 2 sides pay me, break it down for us. well if you click the say the israeli prime minister enough to leave in it earlier, did say that he has proof that you ran was behind the attack as of yet he hasn't presented any kind of those to the attack happened on a ship if it partially own bind is really company off the coast of a month. but now the united kingdom and united states has joined israel in blaming you ran for conducting the strike. we are hearing from the united kingdom to quote that it was time meet my key that you ran with behind the interview. and now jaime nike is up and a phrase that is used when there is no evidence to present. at the same time, we have heard from the secretary of state and to be blinked and that, and i'm quoting him, he believed that he confidence that he ran was behind this attack. and he says that

the united states is working with its allies. so one of the comments coming forward, blaming you ran, but nobody, as of yet providing any kind of proof, this is what these lady prime minister natalie bennett had to say. so not the self she ron is the one that carried out the attack against the ship intelligence sources have uncovered evidence of this and we expect the international community to make it clear to the iranian regime that they have made a serious mistake. in any case, we know how to convey the message to iran in our own way. now be issue we ran is a hot potato here in israel. so of course, there are many who are suggesting that the way the prime minister is using the potential spice and show down with he ran to gain himself political points, particularly at a time when his own coalition, which school knew is still shaky. there was the question as to the timing of the comments, particularly as the american president joe biden is trying to renew

a new deal with the ran that still has failed and been gutted many times in the past because of the american friendship with the people is the political incident with the suggestion that it says he is not from the iranian foreign ministry, we are hearing repeated denial that they were behind this attack. the more do the yet the no much this is not the 1st time to diligence from the occupying ration in jerusalem has made such false accusations against the black republic of iran or such. it gives a sense completely unjustified. they must know that the problems will not be resolved by such positions. if those who come to strike a blow will face a big blow, lumnick republic of the run will not hesitate for a moment to protect the interests of the people in its national security. the not useful is pushing for the united nations security council to

condemn iran. and what is worth noticing is that is that this is the 1st known fatal attack that has happened on commercial shipping in the region. that is the means to rein intentions, but i must mention also that israel has repeated time in the past. been suspected of carrying out any ran. and on the iranian commercial vessel. not quite clear cut and simple as it seems. that was a pool of reporting from television. anything? well, a whistleblower in the us has been sentenced almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about american drone program, while solving the background that base in afghanistan a decade ago. daniel ho helped identify target for fascination when he returned home in 2013. he had secret details about the driving program with john this from the intercept online news site revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in

the middle east and africa. and mark hail pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed that 90 percent of strikes have actually hit civilians. the u. s. ramped up and strode program during the obama administration since then is launched more than $14000.00 strikes in nations. i counted on, taxed on yemen and somalia, thousands have been killed with more than 300 children among the victims. we spoke to whistleblower and former us intelligence officer john cracker in the week who attended hale 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 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 well ahead of the sentence. thing hail wrote to the court detailing some of the things he'd witnessed in his work, including the deaths of 2 children in the drone strike. he will say slammed the claim of former president 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 dream 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 deaths from the skies. i 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. that's really the misuse of the espionage

act which has been continued and other well known whistleblower waited on twitter. edward snowden condemned the court's decision on praise tail. we also got reaction from a former us to an operator who will say lifted the lid on what his walk involved. brandon bryan says it in the choice between ignoring civilian kennings and making the public where his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on through not 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. yeah. you have to bear witness for the not just 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 supposed to be this great country and freedom fighter amongst the world. how we're punishing our own people who are trying to do that. well, still had this august, the fastest warning picked. as you may find, obsessing it's one of our top stories as the last 7 days police brutality in america captured on camera, the violent arrest of colorado. mine has the offices involved facing charges, not story, and much more of the shall break i ah,

to be with me. ah ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then in

the moon. ah, welcome back. another act of peace brutality has been caught on camera in the us. 2 offices and colorado being charged over the violent arrest of nom mixed race man. just a warning, the next video contained some graphic violence. oh, what do i do? oh, i do put your hands on front of you. okay. don't stop thought it all. 6 the police officers identified to kyle vincent as being one kid for several sentences help to to all the men fled. he appeared to initiate, comply with the officers commands during the arrest, but that resisted well being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked for stuffing stout on the ground and his still wept by officer cents and was taken to hospital

needing treatment in the offices and question of since been charged with using excessive force. while the local police chief condemned that conduct does not police work, we don't train. this is not acceptable. the definition of police were jelly is itself is a problem. you weren't 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 to white edition, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derrick shelven, 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 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, the defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public. the de, 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 or trauma up the tow. lympics stop us, gymnast simone biles has sensations pulled out. but one final, to focus on her mental health is now like to be seen whether or not so participate in tuesdays balance beam final. and while some absolve a say she, while the hard to move to sobs more praise this claim, she's let down her teammates, when they needed her the most i say put mental health 1st, because if you don't, then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much

as you want to. so it's okay. sometimes the even set out the big competition to focus on yourself on tuesday doing the talk, your lympics individual, all around competition and women's gymnastics sim on bias. one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time when they became being quite surprisingly for many decided to withdraw from the, from the round and eventually the russian team or r o c. if you may, 1, gold and the discipline 1st, that was cited simone biles decided to withdraw to medical reasons. then it became clear as cited by the teams entourage. and by, by ourselves that this was a mental health issue. it has created quite a whirlwind of reaction. there are those who are strongly accusing and abusing simone bias for withdrawing that i would say spearheaded by pierce morgan, a famous u. k. tv host, who well just fell short of accusing someone violence of being

a chicken and checking out on her team. and i saw something that serial winners do on mental health issues. now the go to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport was a joke. just admit you did badly made mistakes and was trying to do better next time. kids need strong role models, not best nonsense. obviously that has created huge responds online and even some mainstream media jumped in. and if you look at the language that some of these mainstream media like washington, both the many out of used, you would think that simone biles actually won a gold medal rather than pulling out from the competition. whenever biles pulls on her leotard, it's as though she's tighten in a cape around her neck. she's the hero task to save in a solid sport embodying some tried believe in american dominance, and also carry an agenda and an entire race. that's a heavy cape and it chokes. but it's one that exceptional black women and women of

color are tall to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. for some reason, many of those media and bonded and commentators also decided to bring in her agenda her race into the story which is already creating another type of backlash because people cannot understand what is her decision to withdraw from one particular competition. something she has been preparing for for quite a while, because the lympics is quite important for any athlete in the world has to do with who she has, her skin color and things like that. she went on instagram recently just saying how much of that weight on her shoulder is being hard on her. and may be this rick, with such reactions, coming from both sides would create even more pressure for the 24 year old gymnast with a very difficult boss. while my calling for a to discuss to means development for the pan of august mental health issue of

simone biles, she withdrew. i mean, this must be in a very, very difficult decision for gigi think perhaps she's set an example by doing this is a topic has to be over the years. and only recently are we talking to accept people with mental health? and i think the lim picked the examples. why not expect i really feel that, especially in, in kids they, they, they, they really try to years and years and they carry the contra mesh is okay, have to be okay. i have mental health, i'm not going to be able to call the fact that she has withdrawn has both further attention to her. i mean, if she's sort of quietly underperformed and perhaps explained to the media that, you know, this is just one of those events. you can't be at her peak all the time and then quietly slipped away fine, but she really has made an announcement him put mental health health back on the map again. so the importance of mental health issue obviously shouldn't be underestimated. but perhaps putting that on the lympics as well as perhaps too much

is a sporting event. it should be kept as a sporting events. if one is not ready for it, when really shouldn't, shouldn't be that you could only find out sometimes, but you're not ready for it. when you're there already. lots of up to this. i'll remember you can find all the details on those stories on much more on our website . i want you to call any of all social media platforms to check it out. we'll see soon. oh me the

me a welcome to the park with american decision to pull out 1st from ghana stand and now from iraq. the era of 911 has abruptly compton and hers is no longer listed among the help spread to the united states. although it planes more lives around the world in 20 years ago. what have the last today gets mad for the people living on the front lines of the warranty? to discuss that i'm now joined by. i've got some former president smith because i, mr. president is great to talk to you, great to see you in moscow again. good, good. let me start with a question about allowed because over the last couple of years you weren't shy in saying that the americans have out stayed the welcome, but there was a welcome in the beginning, including a welcome from you personal restraint. very strong. do you think there was ever

a good time to leave given how they came into your country? when they came in the aftermath of the tragedy of september 11, 2001 which got the sympathies of the whole world with them. the african people to were waiting for such a moment of liberation. liberation from whatever ration from, from extremism from violence, from terrorism, from a creeping invasion from a neighboring country. and from suffering for such a long time. we had doing painting with america before that had when russia had mesh as well as with europe to, to come in and help us get some free itself. then the international community led by the united states and approved rather sanctioned by the united nations security council.
