7:03 pm
they were police tech police and they sent people back. so no protest could together anywhere. so the protest of gather fossil away from the point where they wanted to start their protest. they never get it. at one point they were spreading all over this city and walking in small little, not just shunting their chance. me, you see goal such down the final destination today for the protest. when the protesters reach this point, the police came up with water cannons and threatened to protest to use those water tenants. we witnessed a lot of arrest. we didn't count them a lot of the less and sometimes they looked at the arbitrary. the police just went into the crowd and arrested. some people, they arrested some musicians, they arrested old people, young people, they arrested hippies. everybody who just stood in their way seemed to be arrested . and sometimes these arrest was pretty violently. german political analysts to be john thomas solely told us that authorities have taken no issue with similar

7:05 pm
and the 3 is there i am the german. but so the same way the proud of the today. sure. to take care right, read him up family and thought that the b e in there in the junk explosion had a major chemical plant in germany killed 5 people with 2 more still missing. please have opened a case of negligent homicide into today's incident. initial investigation suggest there is no risk to public health from toxins. with more detailed tests expected in the coming days of the site is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing $30000.00 workers. more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured at the area including elements for the production of explosives, greenpeace, as voice concern over the blast impact the situation is very difficult from a chemical point of view. it is really possible to imagine
7:06 pm
a huge catastrophe. we have a plan 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 no stuff, it's an 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 after the explosion of 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 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,
7:07 pm
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. don't sit in garden furniture or anybody that has a swimming pool in their 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 of sold off, see that while a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. house 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
7:08 pm
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, how the tags near 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 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, cruise and but also cities like cologne in the why the area of northrop with fall. yeah, it was the blower in the u. s. has been sentenced to almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about america's drone program,
7:09 pm
while serving at the bar graham air base in afghanistan a decade ago. daniel hale helped identify targets 1st fascination when he returned home in 2013. he shared secret details about the drawing program with journalist from the intercept online news site, revealing the true extent of civilian casualties in the middle east and africa in march. have pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed 90 percent of strikes have actually it civilians. us ramped up its drug program during the obama administration. and since then has launched more than $14000.00 strikes in nations like f gamma stand pakistan, yemen in somalia. thousands that have been killed with more than 300 children among the victims. we spoke to whistle blower and former us intelligence officer john curiosity, who in the week who attended hales sentencing. hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the court room was packed for daniel hale.
7:10 pm
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 too, too, 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 crime and it became
7:11 pm
a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing ahead of the sentencing hail wrote to the court detailing some of the things he had witnessed in his work, including the deaths of 2 children in a don's drawn strike, he also slammed the claim of former president brock obama. the drone killings abroad, protected americans. the policy of drone assassination was being used to mislead the public, that it keeps a 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 hail understood that and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have
7:12 pm
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 ours. it's really the misuse of the espionage act which has been continued. all right, another well known whistleblower waited in on twitter. edward snowden condemned the court's decision in praise hale. we got reaction from a former us joan operator who also lifted the lid on what his work involves. brendan, brian says in the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public aware his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on truth, 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't, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine,
7:13 pm
yet you have to bear witness for it. not just an unfeeling part of the machine you're dealing. 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 are 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 what is after short break, this is art international. the
7:14 pm
ah, with me ah. ah, i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments only personally,
7:15 pm
i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk the walk back. this is the weekly on our team to national israel's prime minister and has threatened to hit back at the wrong after claiming it has proof that it carried out thursdays, deadly tanker attack in the re b and c. 2 crew members were killed supposedly by a drug strike on the vessel linked to in israeli billionaire, however, to deny responsibility and pledges retaliation if attacked, or choose posley or reports. now from tele, beef tension can the region are running high and med concerned that they could be a confrontation between iran and those opposing her?
7:16 pm
so i think we have theme, the risk treat increased dramatically, particularly as the lady by minister, enough to be bennett has sprung words for tyrann, shall not be off. so 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 the united states and united kingdom have joined israel in pointing as of yet an substantiate had fingers at iran, blaming her for being behind the tax, the secretary of state, and to be blinked and has said to quote that he's confident that iran was behind the protect the united kingdom, saying it's highly likely that around what's behind it. but we have heard that phrase highly likely before and very often mean that there's no evidence we believe this attack was deliberate targeted and a clear violation of international law by iran
7:17 pm
u. k. assessments have concluded that is highly likely that iran attack the n v most the street in international waters, off amount on 29 july using one or more unmanned aerial vehicles. the range of foreign ministry is denying these, came out twice, accusing the countries of accommodations for more to the at the moment. this is not the 1st time the legitimate occupying race in jerusalem has made such false accusations against the blind republic of iran. such, it gives a sense of 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. these where the prime minister, enough to be bennett has not been in the husky for a long time. and his coalition still remains quite shaky. so it's no surprise that he's quite keen to point fingers. eddie ran and ran past the rhetoric, meaning,
7:18 pm
suggesting that quick means some kind of war is a way for him to gain political point. at the same time, questions being asked over the range nuclear deal that the american president joe biden wants to be renewed with iran's in the past. it has been repeatedly scuppered because america friendship with his role. so questions are being asked as to the timing of the confrontation now and whether or not it is coincidental, many suggesting it's not the policy at ortiz. hello. richard becker from the anti war answer coalition believes that when is really interests are harmed, their reflex reaction is outrage. israeli government is hoping to to derail the j. c. p. o, a, the reinstatement of the j c. p. o way and in any form whatsoever. and it is a possibility, it will depends a lot on what the reactions are now from the various parties. we do know for sure
7:19 pm
that on a daily basis or at least on a weekly basis, is really we're playing, violate an i violate the aerospace and syria carry out not just the violations of aerospace, but bombing inside of syria and many other assaults on around and then very, very outraged and you know, very righteous when something happens that harms their interest. but they do not accept really international law at all, except to employ it as a weaponized. that would be the right way to put another actor police brutality has been caught on camera in the us. 2 officers in colorado have been charged over the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race man. now please be aware that the next
7:20 pm
video that we have contains graphic violence. oh, what do i do? oh, i do put your hands on for you. okay. don't stop toilet. whoa, whoa. 6 whoa, don't police officers identified carl vinson as it being wanted for several offences. and after 2 other men fled haired to initially comply with the officers commands during the rest, but then resisted while being handcuffed. it was subsequently choked, forced to sit down on the ground, and pistol whipped by an officer. vinson was then taken to the hospital meeting treatment. the officers in question have since been charged with using excessive force and the local police chief condemned their 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 are you, you use the force necessary to effect in
7:21 pm
a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep the citizen safe and you actually keep the person you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street cop is not the punish. that's the job of the courts to wind up dishing out a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derek 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 the 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 de, from the police moment as a political card, it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering their base for more voting. it really just removes programs. funding for certain areas for police
7:22 pm
officers has been more drama. the tokyo olympics start us gymnast simona biles has sensationally pulled out of all. but one final to focus on her mental health, it isn't now left to be seen whether or not she will participate in today's balance beam final. and while some observers say her move deserves praise. others claim that she is let down her teammates. when they have 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. you're lympics individual, all around competition and women's gymnastics sim on bias. one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time on the big champion. quite surprisingly, for many decided to withdraw from the, from the round,
7:23 pm
and eventually the russian team or r o c f. you may 1 gold in that discipline. first, that were cited those come on biles decided to withdraw to medical reasons. then it became clear as cited by the teams entourage and by bio south 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 some on violence of being a chicken and checking out on her team. and i saw something that serial winners do a mental health issues. now the go to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport. what a joke just admits you did badly made mistakes and we'll try to do better next time . kids need strong role models, not this nonsense. obviously that has created huge responds online and even some
7:24 pm
mainstream media jumped in. and if you look at the language that some of these mainstream media, like washington post and many others 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 in 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 the 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
7:25 pm
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. earlier, my colleague, roy, sushi discussed these developments with a panel of gas 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 recent needs that people have mental health . and i think the lim picks of the examples why not expect? i really feel that especially in, in can they they, they,
7:26 pm
they really try to years and years and they carry their culture. shoulders is okay . have to be by okay, i have mental health, i'm not going to be able to call the family. she has withdrawn, has bought 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. she can't be her pick 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 to the lympics as well is perhaps too much is a sporting event. it should be kept as a sporting event. if one is not ready for it, when really shouldn't, shouldn't be that. you could only find out sometime, but you're not ready for it when you're there already. and that doesn't mean this are the facts. more of the weekly and let's say 33 minutes watching our
7:27 pm
international me look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where the shorter does that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with
7:28 pm
the new gold rushes underway, and gunner thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the goldfields hoping to strike it, rich children are torn between gold and education. my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still will have the strongest appeal. ah me, the obesity epidemic is the most important international health problem. mm. let me
7:29 pm
tell. i think we're sort of bissell and i don't think 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 of prejudice. it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness. unlimited genes provide an alibi. what it will be city were
7:30 pm
a collective failure, not an individual symptom of the free market that hates that, that produces fax, those and a b for genic society, the news global phenomenon, not one country to talk today. ah, the right now there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight or. busy obese, this only happens by magic, it takes work and you need to look at who it is, is driving that process. well, otherwise we'll live in societies in which, you know.
