[000:00:00;00] the ah millions of cash strapped americans to place being checked out of their homes has congress and the binded ministration failed to extend a cobra link moratorium on evictions. the protest, serious had tightening cobra measures and mandatory help passes rally across western europe, where the number of infections is still on the rise of europe rages against the restrictions coven cases in the us increased 6 fold in july, while politicians have been sending mixed messages about how to deal with the pandemic,

leaving many confuse very much for the political choice and involved in it. i just wish you would come around and get the politics not to little. and the former british and bassett, or turn to blogger, has surrendered to police to serve a prison sentence for contempt of court. it's a case that has been shockwave for through the journalists community. ah, well, i guess you want direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm sean thomas, are in the gland to have you with us. a millions of americans risk imminent homelessness after the coven linked back on residential evictions expired on july 31st. the ban or eviction war atoria came into effect in september. it aimed to stop the spread of the virus and keep people at home, including those unable to pay rent after losing their jobs. in the pandemic,

the exact number of people who may soon be forced from their homes is not yet known . but a survey suggests that more than 3600000 fear that fade within 2 months. and that's something that is triggering protests to ones that james williams organizing director at vocal new york believes there will be more honestly for me to organize the person that understand building power or the only thing that really transform a country and movement, especially congress and create the conditions for millions more people to be experiencing and how the charity that the other related to life increased risk to the delta barriers, hoping they like increased risk of physical or psychological violence. and all of the things that happen, you create that organized. so i will say that the congress is the president of a bigger call. that way can happen because people are set up and we're continuing to

see our efforts to demand that our government overwhelmingly actually since are vulnerable people working people for people. yet even with the democratic majority, so hard to get here, we're still having these gaps that have all lead me. so of course i can pay mass protest, master action. and that because of those, those of us who are conscientious about waiting to do things and the ways that we engage them in democracy. activists have also organized a temporary camp outside washington's capital building, calling for the band reinstatement where they were joined by democratic party. lawmakers. i know what that like. i have been evicted before myself. i have had to sleep in my car myself, and so i was sitting congresswoman, there is no way that i could just allow congress to recess and go on vacation. and for me to, to go on with my life and not care about the 7000000 people. you know,

i had people around me, so i feel safe, 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 they didn't get to pool at night. but that's not the reality of what happens. you know, on many nights when you are on house, congress failed to extend the ban on friday and is now in recess, which lasts for over a month. speaker nancy pelosi has once again called on president biden to step in and renew the eviction moratorium. but the white house says there's a problem with the supreme court said it, it could only be extended congressional authorization, that was their decision. that's how they were able to strike it down. and that's what the says needed to happen. so what's next? now to get another extension, congress must vote, and apparently the by an administration has done too little too late and reportedly

having requested an extension just 2 days before it expired. now earlier we discussed the developments with travis sheridan, a senior vice president at real estate investment firm, wexford, science, and technology. he fears that the failure to extend the eviction moratorium will almost certainly exacerbate the health crisis. why see, i see 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, high numbers of addiction, potential addictions, and basically 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 large 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 view. and special rubber tour on torture has questioned the use of force by berlin, police against protectors. the weekend, after officers in riot gear, violently dispersed crowds demonstrating against tightened coven restrictions. one incident in particular caught the un officials attention. the me this is just been brought to my attention. can anyone provide my office with the specifics witness statements of this incident and whether an official investigation has been launched? you an official mills meltzer says he is going to reach out to german authorities before making any comments to the press. we also asked to berlin police force for comment, but they said the probes are bound to take some time. meanwhile, the 49 year old man died in police custody after being detained at

a demonstration in berlin. authority say he probably suffered a heart attack beyond the germany. similar chaotic scenes have played out in france and italy as well. the the 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 are being 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 not be at times over the weekend. we are civilian. we just want our basic rights back and they are the ones arm toward taking action against peaceful civilians. the geneva convention was passed in 1949, and they are locating it. i am here to defend freedom of speech because the minute micron is trying to stifle any kind of public speech interest. you the privilege called a sanitary pass, which is in fact a way to control people for the you green pass house cause much 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, fear in laying around $5000.00 people coming out south to the court in germany said that the demonstration couldn't go ahead as it was the potential to be

a super spreader event for cove at 19. those 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. what if you thought we'd carried out around 500 arrests in relation to, among other things, violations of the band. on assembly, but also the violations of the infection protection measures as well as acts of resistance and physical assault on emergency 44, no one in front health union bosses a calling on a manual micron to make vaccination mandatory. they say that a digital health pass isn't going to cause it when it comes to trying to stop cases 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. it's coming out from here in germany does not talk of mandatory vaccination. what we've heard from aka zone. busy to the leader of the states and for very, or senior politicians 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. well, compared to countries like the united states and the united kingdom cases of coven, 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, is already warning that we may be on the coast of a 4th wave of coven. 19 german political analysts told us that the authorities are only cracking down on the opposition rallies and a shocking show of double standards. some of the most well most tracked down on positions in germany,

the received and rating memory trace, and they are not allowed to go forward and even how the tap water organized by government clinicians to be released today. we're posing that 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 mayor. and of course, lisa not cracked out on them and they were kissing and the 3 is there. i am the john. so in the same way the produce, the today should have the ability to take care,

right. read them off badly. and in the b, e is they are in the jungle. and while europe raises against coven rules, the number of cases has risen sharply across america with a 6 fold increase last month. people there say they are confused by mixed messages from politicians on how to deal with the pandemic. even on basic like mascot, guidelines are to use to meet your park comments 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 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's governor ron defenses continues to refuse, imposing restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease. in florida. they 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 too much polluted political concentration involved in it. and they told to be a fighter and ministration also helped fuel more the political sense of way math because many ways well being a very respectful around what i just feel like that he's not doing enough to check to people here. and i just wish he would come around. it's

a politics. this is not a little about, i know that's about our children. it's about going on as i feel safe for using my must. because we are still in the pandemic. 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 say jose don't wear a mask where a mask or 2 mask clinic and golf and we're running around here. 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 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 bite 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 like the losing the map or 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 downs are out of the question, and soon thereafter, biden completely contradicts her. we have the tools in our to build to fight this, this, this barrier to fight this vaccine. and we, we are not, we're not going to head towards a lockdown set up the guidelines through 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 those at the top, how they can best benefits the banks, how they can back such their shareholders or their campaign contributors. it's very convenient for the government to say that a call on individual on people who are using to get back to me or on people who are aware of another lockdown pandemic has weight bear the contradictions that i did on my system. and just how vulnerable is, by the way to say that he's leading us out of the demo, but clearly not the case that we still have to talk about things like locked out

and we're seeing on america the united states, very into political circus. and i think circus, there's that nice way of saying it, the people who are much better. meanwhile, while some are confused by coded contradictions for others, the party goes on, check us out, photos of massive crowds, the lollapalooza, music festival and chicago. many on social media are furious that the event is taking place at full capacity during the pan chemical lab and other stories we're covering for you today at r t dot com this week, march of the one year anniversary of the huge, devastating blast and 11 on capital that killed more than 200 people and turn to swaths of the city into rubble. and drone footage from just this last weekend shows that the blast site remains a wasteland of debris and destruction. despite the devastation, the f. b, i has now concluded that only

a 5th of the chemicals stored there exploded. but other key questions remain. what triggered the blast? where were the chemicals from? and why were they there for years? the f. b, i report has also brought up other questions. where is the rest of the potentially deadly chemical shipment seems. most of it arrived in beirut in 2013 and stayed there because of legal disputes. and no one ever came forward to claim it. watching our 2 international mornings after short breakfast. the we are witnessing a significant and irreversible shift in the international system is undeniable. we live in multiple the world, 2 examples of ice. the bike administration is going to build it to hold the north stream to the recent china,

us meeting great power politics back. this is your media a reflection of reality. the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation for community you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? direct. what is true? what is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. ah ah, we'll go back to his archie international. no former british ambassador turned

blogger has headed himself into police in scotland to serve in 8 months prison sentence for contempt of court crag. murray arrived with family and supporters and a bottle of champagne. nothing to celebrate, but still it's been 70 years. and someone in scotland was last 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. murray was convicted over details published in his blog during the sexual misconduct trial of former scottish 1st minister. alex almond in which the identities of the women alleged to be victims could have been revealed. through the so called jigsaw effect, summoned was acquitted. of all 13 charges, but strict laws in the u. k. allow legit sex assault victims to remain anonymous even so journalists fear that craig, marie's imprisonment sets

a worrying precedent proposed 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 a sold some of craig, marie's and supporters have compared to his case to that of julian assange, as the diplomat turned blogger reported extensively on the wiki leaks, founders us extradition proceedings. we discuss this story with a coordinator of the craig murray. justice campaign who says the punishment is substantially unfair. 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

can't be reported. and this, this judgement is a very clear sign that there is an effort to create 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 judgement 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 as the supposed to adhere to john on the stake codecs isn't and standards is an unusual one. for the same sentence, the codecs which somebody has broken in advance should not master 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.

a former us ambassador to moscow who has since become one of russia's biggest critics, has revealed that the move to info warrior has been a lucrative one. after the boast was posted online, however, mike, on the fall was forced to eat his words or his constantine roach. coff has commentary. as soon as he quit as us envoy to russia in 2014 michael mcfaul became perhaps moscow was most poisonous hater. and a former diplomat admit it's worked out just fabulous for him when queried on whether the envoy, her and the keyboard warrior could ever be allowed into the country again, after all these years of his non stop vitro, he pan what quickly became a lead candidate for the most on diplomatic brag ever. i have a job for life, the best universe in the world. i live in the giant house in paradise. i made close to a $1000000.00 a year. i have adoring fan since even half

a 1000000 follows and with 99 percent. also, my me, i'm doing just fine without a dam, visit from russia, and i am not afraid to tweet under my own name. i feel sorry for people like you who are brave enough to do so. the twitter user who had managed mcfall, triggering him to boast about his lavish lifestyle, publish the entire exchange, noting all of that perfectly exemplifies the fact that american meritocracy is just a myth. a crown adviser reacted to me of false his words by noting we always knew that he was fantastically stupid, but we didn't realize to what extent for a ministry spokeswoman maria's harvey had previously simply described him as inapt my forces 2 years in moscow were mired in gas and worth prosecutors in 2018 even announced they were, came to speak with him in connection with claims against an american, british finance, or, and 14000000 dollar tax evasion in russia. but instead of using k,

suppose russia expertise to build bridges, he used his statement like form glory to become an american media star paddling even the most debunked russia, gate conspiracy theories. we are seeking to deter russia from what they're doing and ukraine. i think he has been the most revisionist leader in the world today. disruptive, not paying attention to any of the kind of rules of the liberal international system that they use tactics that he had used in russia against us here in the united states. president of the united states, despite all of that escalation, continues to have one consistent foreign policy. and that is, he wants to be friends with food and whether these are genuine views that just happened to feed what have talking points or whether he is simply cashing in on anti russian rhetoric. turns out even his claim to have half a 1000000 twitter followers is suspect. what's even more amusing is that nearly 40 percent of his twitter followers are fake, glen daf, investigative journalist,

gland, and green was also mark mac forces, attempts to play the victim card. heels in flight is critical for protein and said he would assume he was a kremlin agent unless he immediately provided his real name. but that probably goes without saying, everyone is a criminal agent to the elite conspiratorial loons. ok, right to man email then. so i know you're not about put and pace people to say stupid about me here. and despite mcfall admitting his boastful exchange was real, his still tried to blame quote, a swarm of rush controls. i wrote that message in the private channel. i did not expect it to be published, but it was still a mistake. i apologize. it was arrogant and a d. arctic swarm of russian trolls was accuse me of failure. and i responded in the most unprofessional way, explanation, not excuse. still, stanford students who pay

a small fortune to be lectured by me must be delighted to know that cash is going on. what he does. he's a giant house in paradise. yes, he admit, it was mistake. he said, we describe it as an arrogant, mistaken, certainly was astonished, only crass and vulgar statement. what he tweeted was bad to brag about. his is luxurious, lifestyle is his great job. his $1000000.00 mansion, his, his $1000000.00 a year, salary, etc, etc. it was very crass and vulgar, and the only thing it shows is that is that war mongering paid students at stanford university get a very distorted picture of russia from people like michael mcfall. the get a picture of russia, which is as a source of evil throughout the world. america is the exceptional country, exceptionally good,

and russia is seen as the exceptional country exceptionally bad. and both views are ridiculous. does me this? i'll be back in 32 minutes with another full infested extra news. this is our to international. stay with us. ah me, a new gold rush is 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 it will have the strongest appeal. was driven by

a dreamer shaped by those in me i think we dare to ask me ah ah hello, we welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle. we are witnessing

a significant and irreversible shift in the international system. is undeniable. we live in multiple the world to example. suffice the bike administrations, inability to hold the north stream to an in china us meeting. great power politics is back. aah! to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guests when decent and also use a professor at the university of south eastern norway, as well as the author of great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution. and here in moscow, we prostitute dmitri bob cheese, a political analyst and editor in us, me internet media project, or a gentleman, cross talk roles and effect. that means you can jump anytime you want, and i always appreciate it. okay, let's go to glen person. flow much has been talked about the nord stream and the gas pipeline connecting russia to the german market. here of course is in the
