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 e u green digital pass, a digital vaccine certificate, if you will. now, those demonstrations across western europe. they turn nasty 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 negating it. i am here to defend freedom of speech because the manual micron is trying to stifle any kind of public speech into see the privilege called a sanitary pass, which is in fact a way to control people for the you green pass house cause much of pro,

particularly in front swear, over 200000 people across the country came out on to the streets to vent their own happiness. it was a much smaller affair here in laying around. $5000.00 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 or event for coven. 19 those that did come out onto the streets of the german capital were met with well met by riot police who were back so with was economy for the future. we've carried out around 500 arrests in relation to, among other things, violations of the band on assembly, but also to violations of the infection protection measures, as well as acts of resistance and physical assault on emergency forces. will in front healthy union bosses a calling on a manual micron to make the vaccination mandatory. they say that a digital health pass isn't going to cost it when it comes to trying to stop cases
3:05 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. there's no talk of mandatory vaccinations, but what we've heard from mock is voted the leader of the states and for very or 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 though we don't blunder into autumn, those who have been offered vaccination and consciously rejected, it will no longer be tested for free will compared to countries like the united states and the united kingdom cases of covert 19 across western europe remain low however they all right thing and here in germany, the rather cock institute, the federal institute that looks after public health and disease control is already warning that we may be on the coast of a 4th wave of coven 90. h plus quan that's told us to forward to any cracking down
3:06 pm
on opposition rallies in a shocking show of what he says on double standards. some of the most well the most on opposition in germany to receive an rating memory trace and not chosing the government are allowed to go forward and even how the tap water organized by government coalition to be released today. only the opposing right. we're taking today many were arrested the german government, berlin, regional government allow much time over a 100 people last weekend for one of your lots of gay wife, gray to be held in the street, the berlin participation of america. and of course,
3:07 pm
the police are not cracked out on the back. and they were kissing and the 3 is there right under the john. but so the same way the pro to the day should have the ability to take care, right. read them off family and the b. e is they are in the jungle. while while europe raises again, the code rules, as we've seen, the number of cases has woodson shop, you will across america with a 6 fold increase this last month. people say that confused while these mixed masters from politicians on how to deal with the pandemic, even on basics like mosque guidelines well, to meet you. park 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 anything else. take florida just recently reported
3:08 pm
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 covert 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 is a political situation involved in it and it's also
3:09 pm
a fighter and ministration that also helped fuel more. the political sense of where he met before anyway. is it for the well being a very disrespectful to run what i just feel like that he's not doing enough people here. and he said, i just wish he would come around because it's a politics. this is not him 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 canyon theme to decide whether wearing masks should be a requirement. first they chose don't wear a mask where a mask where to mask the nic. them asked off and we're running around here. speaker, come down here at 10 o'clock in the morning thing we got to wear math. i hate these
3:10 pm
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 white and can't seem to stick to a single stance on anything masks. vaccines are locked down really fast . you no longer need to wear the mac and it's in there where you made it sound like the losing the math forever. 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. this is very to fight this vaccine. and we, we are not,
3:11 pm
we're not going to head towards the locked down guidelines will do infection rates, hospitalizations, death, 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 user. i think everything is done with how they can benefit those at the top, how they can best benefit the banks, how they can best benefit their shareholders or their campaign contributors. it's very convenient for the government to say that it's all on individual and it's all
3:12 pm
on people who are. if you get back to me or on people who are wary of another lockdown, the pandemic has laid bare the contradictions on the system. and just how vulnerable is you know, and by the way, to say that he's leading us out of it, but clearly it's not the case. if we still have to talk about quite lockdown, we are seeing america in the united states very into political circus. and i think circus is a nice way of saying it and the people are much better. well, can you tell us, i'm confused by covert contradiction, but others the party a rustling in a check that out photos of the massive crowds up to the level of music best for chicago. lots of people in social media triggered by the party. they don't found that it's taking place of property during condemning fire more on that and put many more stories on millions of americans
3:13 pm
risk eminent homelessness after the coven linked bond on residential evictions expired on july, the 31st through the bond or eviction moratorium came into effect in september, and it ain't stopped to spread the virus and keep people home, including those who can't pay rent, often losing jobs in the pandemic. now, the exact number of people who might soon be force from their homes is not known. but if salvi suggests that more than 3600000 fed that fate. within the next few months, activist gathered outside washington's capital building, calling for the bonds reinstatement where they were joined by democratic party. lawmakers. i know what that is like i have been evicted before myself. i have had to sleep in my car myself. and so as a sitting congress woman, there is no way that i could just allow congress to recess and go on vacation. and for me to just go on with my life and not care about the 7000000 people, you know, i had people around me, so i feel safe,
3:14 pm
which i didn't feel safe when i was on housed. i had people, i had food sitting here, you know, i didn't always have food. i had enough blankets to keep me warm because it didn't get to cool at night. but that's not the reality of what happens. you know, on many nights when you are on house, while the representative that mentioned congress, now the health failed to extend to bond on fridays now on recess was lost for more than a month, but speaker not supposed to once again called on president biden to step in and renew the eviction more tor in the problem is the bite administration when he tried to extend it. but then the u. s. supreme court voted to let it expire on july 34 fast now to get another extension. congress must vote for that, and party biden administration has done too little too late, reportedly requesting an extension just 2 days before it expired. what i want to bring in now what travis sharon and his senior vice president,
3:15 pm
chief community officer, wexford science and technology travels good to have you on the phone. and i do want to ask you, as there are some statistics, suggest 11400000 adult renters at the moment of behind on rent. what does that mean to those people means that they are facing housing and security. if the landlords and property owners choose to them and the more atoria the eviction moratorium is that in place, that could be a large population suddenly and house. and in the united states, we already have a very, very substantial housing crisis and a number of metropolitan across the country. now i also do want to talk about, of course, cho biden's role. and all of this month, when he 1st collected, he said, don't worry, help is on the way that was his message. now, all these months later, it seems that how positive run dry is up the way it looks to you. well, it looks like there is a political log jam in washington dc listening to some of the earlier reports on
3:16 pm
the rti it. it's evidence that this is link lingering hangover from the previous administration and lack of ability to move the needle in the current administration . i am proud of my congresswoman cory bush who is leading the charge on the steps of the capitol demonstrating visibly and really trying to bring her her colleagues back to washington dc to to make a move on this. now of course, it's not just a question of economic instability, unemployment, all of these fears. but there is still a pandemic going on before the u. s. and bizarre, a rising by today in terms of how the coven place in this, what could dot additional impact be for the people? why c? a c, 2 different types of impact. one, if, if the united states does face another lockdown or returning to working from home, that only works if you have a home, right? it's quite impossible to do locked down if you are and housed. and so, you know,
3:17 pm
high numbers of addictions, potential addiction, and facing the locked down would not be, would not be ideal. secondly, when you are and how you are, you're facing so many more elements and environmental factors, not just the weather, but being in enlarge spaces and crowded spaces. not able to pop properly, social distance. and so i fear that there could be an increase spread of the delta variance and increase cases as a result of potentially increase homelessness. i mean, surely, any person not looking at the situation can see the dangers that you've just described to us. so why didn't congress approve the extension was in a case of bytes ministration, acting too little, too late. i think the, you know, putting this back out 2 days before recess was, was added. huge disadvantage. i also think you use the word logic in there and i don't know if logic always applies when it comes to our elected official is making the best decisions for the the constituents in which they represent. this has
3:18 pm
become a politically fractured topic where they're where it's not necessarily a health decision anymore. now it really is agenda versus agenda. and i think that when that is the case, then the people are the ones that suffer. now we've heard of course, that fight and sort of throwing it back to congress, may not look. i tried to do what i would i, what i wanted to do, but you guys are blocking me. is joe biden, somewhat shocking responsibility for this? for this failing? i think the failing is on all elected officials, they are the ones that have the power to act, whether it's in the executive branch of the legislative branch. it really takes both, both branches of, of that, that part of government to come together and including the traditional branch and, and the supreme court. as you mentioned earlier, reversing some decisions in the past or intervening of the past. it really is on the executive branch to flex the muscle, but it has and really it's on the legislative branch to you. this is not
3:19 pm
a matter of if they can do it, it's a lack of political will. our legislatures need to have the political will to do what's in the best interest of the population. now, the final thing i want to ask is the hash tag occupy congress has been trending on twitter. first off, i want to know what you think that's a good idea, supported and given of course the connotations we also, the scenes on the 6th of january. do you feel that this might be a somewhat problematic issue, potentially inciting protests? well, i, you know, i am one, i fully support peaceful protests. and what happened on january 6th was not that it was an insurrection. i am pleased that the, again, my congresswoman court bush is an activist. she was on the street here in saint louis during ferguson. so i have confidence in her ability to protest peacefully, but i do get concerned with any sort of large crowds. again, we are still in the middle of the pandemic. any type of occupation could mean people coming together in groups and that,
3:20 pm
that just creates additional risk. but i do think that protest is an effective means to, to, to drive change. well thought here, very war in time. so for millions of americans, let's hope that somehow it does get resulting help is indeed on the way that was travis showered in sep chief community of what's that science on technology? many thanks for giving us reports. just this week marks the one year anniversary of the huge, devastating explosion in beirut stock claimed the lives of more than 200 people. anton swathes of lebanon's capital, to rubble drone footage. you're going to see now from just this last weekend showing that the explosion site remains a wasteland of daybreak and destroyed structures despite the devastation. yes. p i has now concluded that only a 5th of the chemicals went off from the total originally shipped. but all the key questions remain on, on that such as what 3 good stop last, why with a chemical from and why will they last for years?
3:21 pm
the report and also another question to why is the rest of the potentially deadly chemical shipment? now it seems most of it arrived in a root in 2013 state that because of legal disputes, but also no one ever came forward. she claimant while still ahead about half of americans, disapprove of biden's 2nd in command, and she's already been in office for half a year. the waft, saturating all the u. s. vice president in decades will talk about that in depth. and much more of the shall bring the join me every 1st day on the alex summon, 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 driven by
3:22 pm
shaped by those in me there's thing we dare to ask when we need to get in and a reversible shift in the international system is undeniable. we live in multiple the world to example survived. the bike administration is inability to hold the north stream to the recent china us meeting. great power politics back ah,
3:23 pm
welcome back. now a form up for some basket. a ton blogger has haunted himself into the police in scotland to solve an 8 month prison sentence for contempt of court. craig murray arrived his family and supporters and a bottle of champagne. nothing to celebrate, but still it has been 70 years. someone in scotland was lost in prison 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. murray was convicted over details, published in his blog during sexual misconduct, taught a form of scottish pots minutes the alex summoned in which the identities of the women alleged to be victims could have been revealed through the so called chick for effect, or someone was ultimately acquitted. of all 13 charges, but strict rules and the u. k. allow a legit sex has helped victims to remain anonymous even so john, the fair,
3:24 pm
the craig mark, imprisonment that's worrying. precedent reports without borders are considered the prison sentence. disproportionate and the wall journal 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 murray support have compared his case to that of julian sanchez, the diplomat turn blog reported extensively on the weekly founders us expedition proceedings. we discussed the story with a coordinator of the crate murray justice campaign. he says that the punishment is on the 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, that's been an increase in crackdown on democracy on transparency on what can and
3:25 pm
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 at 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 bloggers should receive a different type of sentence for the same offense. as journalist, because journalists are supposed to adhere to journalists, codecs isn't, and standards is an unusual one for the same sentence, the codecs which somebody has broken in advance should not matter, should lead to the same sort of penalty. and in this case, the penalty does not match the crime that is claimed to have been committed
3:26 pm
only half a year into her tom, the u. s. vice president campbell harris is facing a barrels of criticism over her work poll showed that she is now the most unpopular person in the role at the stage since at least the 19 seventy's. well, let's take a look. so harris's disapproval rating among americans has risen by 4 percentage points since she entered office from 44 percent. and that was in january to 40 percent from july. so about one in every 2 americans has an unfavorable view of the current vice president with the country. we know showing strong divisions between the 2 major political parties, as you probably will suspect, houses approval rating. the meantime has depth and for $6.00 to $44.00. so these numbers, as i mentioned, they all significant different from those of previous vice president. just to some background that look and comparison. dick cheney's disapproval rating 6 months into his pass, thomas c, p. u 26 percent. joe biden, still lower such 6 percent. mike pence,
3:27 pm
probably the most comparable 42 percent had a poor rating. similar, not of course, but still, you know, but lower. and it is, as i said, quite explored me that so much of the country disapproves of harris is walk so early on in her ton. so let's look what might be behind it. harris is often criticized over the biden administration's southern water policy as detentions of migrants crossing over from mexico have reached $1100000.00 so far this year. as the 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. and she was actually ridiculed in the media the quote showing up at the wrong address. that's because all the locations have been much more severely impacted by the immigration crisis. we spoke to a 2020 vice presidential candidate who says that ours is not she escape go for biden, that he can pass off his responsibility on seemingly tough and controversial issue . i think that the accurately reflects her performance, i think was happening that this honeymoon period of having this historic 1st female
3:28 pm
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 us. or if i have to worry about hurting to get him 4024 or even worried about or holding back. well, for a charge on some of the more controversial issues like the border and other like that, everybody heard catch all that all the black while he gets back codes. i've ever heard back doing that. one question why you're doing it or if she's going to be honest about addressing the cause that order the way she can be honest or running, be there by behind most of the page your policy went to the products that have to
