2:03 pm
we've seen these protests across western europe be particularly in france and italy and here in germany as well. as people are unhappy with coven restrictions that have been put in place and take care when it comes to requirements, or potential requirements for what's being called, the new green digital pass. a digital vaccine certificate, if you will. now those demonstrations across western europe, they turn nothing at times over the weekend. we are civilian. we just want our basic rights back and they are the ones arm 2 are taking action against peaceful civilians. the geneva convention was passed in 1949, and they are gating it. i am here to defend freedom of speech because the manual microphone is trying to stifle any kind of public speech interests you the privilege called a sanitary pass, which is in fact,
2:04 pm
a way to control people for the you green pass house cause much of pro, particularly in front, swept over 200000 when people across the country came out on to the streets to vent their own happiness. it was a much smaller affair, fear in laying around. 5000 people coming out. that's after the court. in germany said that the demonstration couldn't go ahead as it was the potential to be a super spread there event for coven. one thing though is that did come out onto the streets of the german capital, were met with. well, we met by riot police who were back so with was economy. if you thought we'd carried out around 500 arrests in relation to, among other things, violations of the ban on assembly, but also to violations of the infliction protection measures as well as acts of resistance and physical assault on emergency full force. no one in front health union bosses a calling on a manual micron to make the vaccination mandatory. they say that a digital health pass isn't going to cut it when it comes to trying to stop cases
2:05 pm
rising in the country. and they want the french president to go as far as making sure that everybody must have a job. that's not the message that's coming out from here in germany does not talk of mandatory vaccination. what we've heard from mark is voted the leader of the states and for very are senior politician in the ruling coalition. here he's been saying that you don't have to get a vaccination, but if you don't, you won't have access to many things. anyone who has fully vaccinated will get back there, right. what is needed now are clear lines so that we don't blunder into autumn. those who have been offered vaccination and consciously rejected, it will no longer be tested for free. well, compared to countries like the united states and the united kingdom cases of code 19 across western europe remain low, however they are rising. and here in germany, the rather cock institute, the federal institute that looks after public health and disease control,
2:06 pm
is already warning that we may be on the coast of a 4th wave of coven. one thing in the meantime, a john phillips kwan told us you will far, is there any cracking down on opposition rallies and a shockey show where he says a double standards. some of the most well most tracked down on positions in germany, the received and rating memory trace and not chosing the government are allowed to go forward. and how does that work important, organized by government, clinicians to be released today. we're posing, we're taking today many were arrested the german government, berlin, regional government allow much of it over a 100 people last weekend for one of your lots of gay wife,
2:07 pm
gray to be held in the street, the berlin participation of the mayor. and of course, the police are not cracked out on the race and what they were kissing and the 3 is there. i john. so in the same way the pro, to the today show half of the ability to take care, right? family and focus in the b. e. is there in the jungle. we can see europe raising gains coated roles, but in the meantime, the number of cases has with him sharply cost america, with a 6 fold increase last month. people that say they're confused by mixed messages from politicians on how to deal with the pandemic. even on basics like math guidelines, wall t is to meet your fog. took a look, science statistics. apparently none of those things really matter when dealing with cove it because the whole thing seems to have become more about politics than
2:08 pm
anything else. take florida just recently reported a record breaking 21000 new daily cases. the state literally accounts for about a 5th of all new cases in the us. but nevertheless, florida governor ron de santis continues to refuse, imposing restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease. in florida, there will be no look downs. there will be no school closures. there will be no restrictions and no mandates, no mask mandates, no vaccine requirements. many fear the whole thing might become a repeat of last year's cold crisis in new york. back then that liberal states delayed response, which led to numerous death was blamed on political resistance to then president donald trump. but with democrat, joe biden. now in charge and calling the shots. it seems that florida's republican governor is just doing the exact same thing and regular people feel like they're caught in the middle of it. there's a political situation involved in it. and it's also
2:09 pm
a fighter and ministration that helped fuel more of the political sense of way met before. anyway. is it for the well being a very disrespectful to rather than to what i just feel like that he's not doing enough people here. he said, i just wish he would come around and get the politics. this is not a little notes about. i know that's about our children. it's about us going on as i feel safe for using my must because we are still in upon demick. my wife died of coven, a month ago, and this is a choice i'm making. i don't get into politics. people have their opinions, but i don't get into that political rivalry seem to be the root cause of all the confusion surrounding cove. it officials across the us county and seem to decide whether wearing masks should be a requirement 1st, they chose don't wear a mask where a mask where to mask the nick them asked off and were wandering around here.
2:10 pm
speaker, come down here at 10 o'clock in the morning thing we got to wear mass, i hate these things. we are absolutely sick and tired of it. and so are the american people. you think at least the president would have a consistent approach to the whole thing, but no, besides needing a teleprompter to remind him what his opinion even is by didn't can seem to stick to a single stance on anything masks, vaccines or locked down. really, you know, underneath where the mac and it's in there where you made it sound like the losing the map are true. biden's own staff members apparently don't know what the official stance is supposed to be. first, the white house deputy press secretary says that locked down or out of the question, and soon thereafter, biden completely contradicts her. we have the tools in our 2 belt to fight this,
2:11 pm
this, this very, to fight this vaccine. and we, we are not, we're not going to head towards the locked down guidelines will do infection rates, hospitalizations, deaths, employment numbers, whether they're on the rise or declining. none of it seems to actually matter to the people in charge. the war against cove it has turned into yet another political battlefield and regular americans are just caught in between left to fend for themselves. nothing has been done with the sole purpose of the american people for. ready absolutely not in my lifetime, and most likely not in my parents play time either. i think everything is done with how they can benefits. those are the top how the best benefits the banks can back search their shareholders or their campaign contributors. it's very convenient for
2:12 pm
the government to say that it's all on individual and it's all on people who are. if you get back to me here on people who are aware of another lockdown, the pandemic has laid bare the contradictions on the system. and just how vulnerable is you know, and find ways to say that he's leading us out of hand. but clearly it's not the case that we still have to talk about things like locked out and we are seeing america in the united states. very into political circus, and i think circus is that nice way of saying it. and the people united states are much better. so we can see. so i'm confused by covert contradictions. put all those you wrestling in it. check this out. so massive crowds, lola new music festival in chicago for many on social media, triggered by that they don't find that it's taking place at full capacity during the pandemic. lauren, that pulls up many more stories with crossing across the say, i don't know who's
2:13 pm
a full not british ambassador turned blogger has handed himself in to police in scotland to solve an 8 month sentence in prison for contempt of court. craig murray arrived with family and support is not a bottle of champagne. nothing to celebrate, but still it has been 70 years since someone in scotland was lost. imprisoned on a charge of contempt by the media scottish pan express his grave concern over the imprisonment of craig murray and calls for his release. the writer is the 1st person to be imprisoned in scotland for media contempt for over 70 years. we fear this ruling will have a chilling effect on reporting and free expression. omari was convicted over details published in his blog during the sexual misconduct, tried to form a scotch minister, alex summoned in which the identities of the women alleged to be victims could have been revealed through the so called chick. for fact, simon was acquitted. of all 13 charges, but strict clause from
2:14 pm
u. k. allow will lead to sex insult victims to remain anonymous even so john, this fair, the crate maurice imprisonment. so it's a warning precedent. reporters without borders are considered the prison sentence. disproportionate and the well journalist must ensure that here the court orders with regard to witness protection imprisonment in connection with any journalistic activity, should only ever be a measure of absolute last resort. if at all, some of craig, maurice, supporters have compared his case to that of julian, a sanchez, the diplomat town blog, are reported extensively on the weekend the found as us extradition proceedings. we discussed the story with a coordinate drove the craig, maureen justice campaign. he says the punishment is onside. i would agree that this case has a chilling effect on journalism in this country, specifically in scotland. scott's law and u. k. law differ quite significantly in many ways, but especially in scotland. we've seen that there in that in the last few years,
2:15 pm
that's been an increase in crackdown on democracy on transparency on what can and can't be reported. and this, this judgement is a very clear sign that there is an efforts to put fear into the heart of journalists and public commentators reporting what can be reported by mainstream media. and the difference that is being made in the judgment of craig murray as a very interesting one. the difference between journalists and public commentators and bloggers and the judges assertion that public commentators and blog as should receive a different type of sentence for the same offense as journalist. because started supposed to adhere to journal mistake codecs isn't and standards is an unusual one . for the same sentence, the codecs which somebody has broken in advance should not matter. it should lead to the same sort of penalty. and in this case,
2:16 pm
the penalty does not match the crime that is claimed to have been committed this week marks the one year anniversary of the huge, devastating patient in beirut that claimed the lives of more than 200 people, anton sways of lebanon's capital to rebel we'll try and footage from just this last we can show you now showing that the explosion site remains a wasteland of daybreak and destroyed structures despite the devastation, the f. b. i is now complete that only a 5th of the chemicals went off from the total originally shipped. but other key questions remain onset. what triggered the blast? why would the chemical from and why would they left a few years? the f b i report has also bought another question to where is the rest of the potentially deadly chemical shipment? well, it seems that most of it arrived in bay route and 2013 and stayed because of legal dispute. so, so no one ever came for want to claimant while still had about half of american
2:17 pm
disapprove of bite and 2nd in command of just a half year and office was such regional the u. s. vice president in decades will talk about bound. i'm delving from all stories official break. i join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the
2:18 pm
ah, me. we are witnessing that's significant and irreversible shift in the international system is undeniable. we live in a multiple world example survives the bike and ministrations, inability to hold the north stream to the recent china us meeting great power politics the hello gotten now only half a year into her us vice president, common house is facing a barrels of criticism over her work polls, so she is now the most unpopular person in the role at this stage since at least 19
2:19 pm
seventies. while let's take a look. so hearts of disapproval rating among americans has risen by 4 percentage points since she entered office from 44 percent. that was in january to 48 percent and that was in july. so about one in every 2 americans has an unfavorable view of the current vice president with the country. of course, we know, showing strong divisions between the 2 major political parties as expected has his approval rating. the meantime has declined from 46 to 44 percent. so like i was saying these numbers significantly different from those of previous suffice presidents justice on comparison, some background dick cheney's disapproval rating 6 months into his pass tom's v. p . well, they need 26 percent joe biden. 36, mike pens probably more comparable. 42 percent, he did have a pool rating similar to that of harris, but still it is below hus. it really is. i repeat quite a food and read it so much of the country disapproves of houses, walk so early on in a ton. while what could be behind it,
2:20 pm
all harris is often criticized over the biden administration. southern border policy as detentions of migrants crossing over from mexico have reached 1100000 so far this year. as v p harris hadn't even visited the border until after spending several months in office, when she took a trip to the west texas city of el paso. she was ridiculed in the media for quote, showing up at the wrong address because all the locations have been much more severely impacted by the immigration crisis. well, women to speak to a 2020 vice presidential candidate who says the highest is actually a skate go for binding, that he can pass off his responsibility of seemingly tough and controversial issues . i think that the accurately reflects your performance. i think what's happening is that this period of having this story, 1st female vice president of color kind of begun to wait as we now recognize that she's going to be vice president for years and people are seeing
2:21 pm
or if i have to worry about her writing to get him 4024 or even worried about are you holding back? well for the for charge on some of the more controversial issues place is a border and other like that. everybody heard catch all that all the while he gets back and you know, the code i've ever heard back doing that. one question, why do we get to court if she's going to be honest about addressing the cause that order the way she can be honest or running behind most of the page your policy went to the product order. let's take a look now at a couple of stories in brief all around the world. starting with how wildfires are
2:22 pm
raging across southern europe. they hundreds reported in italy alone over the weekend public tourists and locals. how flight effects there is in the city. a heat way fed by, from africa, has watching temperatures to the region in recent days, over in greece, quite similar scenes, homes have been destroyed by wildfires, devastatingly 5 people have been rushed to hospital. those places broke out on saturday, 14 the ration of 4 villages. people also had to be rescued from a beach 8 planes and helicopters more than 145 fighters have been sent to the area . and also fury at the time government handling of the current virus crisis has but thousands to protest him. call demanding the prime minister's resignation, says classes are up to between demonstrations. i'm pleased to enter it but knocked down till i marked the highest daily code the desk told that stopped of the pump damage and finding that our american ice cream make. ben and
2:23 pm
jerry is facing substantial back clash over its embargo against israeli settlements, as the company says it won't do business in occupied palestinian territory. the israeli company that ben and jerry has simply jumped on the bandwagon of a palestinian lead. we caught campaign what she happens to accompany the, let's politics, it's business decisions. well, i'll let her tell you about it. if you want to feel perfect, smell like this, i scream in the sun. one way to go about it is to criticize israel with all due respect, your ice cream will not guide us in the decision making process in the country. that jury coffee toki bar crunch, which used to be one of my favorites. and let me show you what i think of it now in the garbage ideas. here is what we think have you been in jerry's?
2:24 pm
i been in jerry's decision is a disgraceful capitulation anti semitism. to be d. s to all that is evil in the anti israeli, an anti jewish discourse. we won't be silent. the boycott against israel is a new sort of terrorism, economic terrorism. terrorism tries to harm israeli citizens, and these railey economy. we must oppose this boycott and terrorism of any kind. so what's the bitter taste of bells and announcement from ben and jamie's ice cream that it will no longer be providing the sweet taste in his rating puzzlement. passengers on board or we can fight to television was served scoop of the controversial treat. no surprise what the reaction was off to the ice cream was served. a lot of people protested the serving of food product whose produce
2:25 pm
a boy called today. i'm samaria. i protested as well and gave my ice cream back. the company insisted not against israel, broader its policies. the company stated decision to more fully align if operations with its values is not the rejection of israel. it's a rejection of israeli policy, which perpetuates an illegal occupation that is a barrier to peace and violence, the basic human rights of palestinian people who live under the occupation. yes, another company you might know. it has maybe $200.00 branches across the country. unlike with panagerie's, it's ladies have no beef about mcdonald. why? because if they fit the quicken, then they think it's cheap and i think it's nice to see along a lot of time. if i have time to spend, let's say i had an hour to spend right now and it's cheap and they serve the food to your table. so it's nice reactions like those might come as a bit of
2:26 pm
a surprise given what's happened to been in jerry's. that's because 8 years ago, the chief executive of mcdonald's in israel refused to open a branch in the waste bank. there was no big outcry from israel all the international community. so what's the difference? simply that they didn't make too much of a song and dance about the policy. i think that mcdonald's made the decision notes was cooperating with an organization such as media. so that'd make it better. they done a lot of things. a few, a lot of years ago, a lot of time before dad doesn't matter. it's not the same case, not being in the happening now and it was their decision now not to sell in the thirty's, eventually mcdonald selling that there are is. so is the minute that brands decide to mix politics into their, you know, providing food to the, to the population or whatever it is. that's when you know that they're, they're diving into a feel of that. that is, is actually limiting their possibility. i think you don't need to make the quality
2:27 pm
x with the weight and it's a shame. but politics and feed often do go together, leaving the bitter taste of double standards to linger on a, b, and b as another company that a few years ago announced it would be moving almost $200.00 listings in the legal settlement that it was forced to walk back on its policy after being inundated with lawsuits and threatened with divestment, they mistake publicly announcing the policy. it's clearly a lesson been in job. he did not take on board that when it comes to making money and his role. not all publicity is good publicity, quality a r t tell have a very sunny televi while that threw up for this holiday to keep me company. i'll be back at the top, but to tide you over until then it's going on. god enjoy. oh the, the
2:28 pm
i in the old days before frank said, because the u. k. was attached to you. they could do it. other countries do, which is to take all their debts and dump it into the giant shadow banking system that covers the world's largest trading block. and you could kind of buy some time there because the c b is printing and buying and monetizing debt by the trillion,
2:29 pm
christine the garden, literally just buying trillion control to the garbage debt. but now post practice, they don't have that way to wash the debts into the greater he, you laundromat. and so that is going to for the 1st time post break, the debts are going to start to cause a lot of pain. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, with the
