it for, i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still it will have the strongest appeal. the in headlines is choose from moscow, millions, a cash strapped americans risk being taken as an eviction. imposed to try to help curve this, but a coven comes to an ad at the same time as congress which failed to extend. it goes off on a summer holiday. 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. covering this to a former british, i'm past the turn. blogger has surrendered to police to serve a prison sentence for contempt of court. it's a case that says, shot ways to the job in this community. because much, well, service secretly, apparently, while the draft plan to exclude elderly people from being looked after in case of

a flu pandemic, according to recently revealed documents. and now a year and a half into covert, it's older people who bought the brunt of this outbreak costs much to the distress of one carol work had coming up the we speak to i think the homes are always been on the fringe of the goldman stall and everything was with the chest were not at all the good day tuesday lunchtime in moscow, you're watching out international with me, kevin, are moving to 30 minutes of a latest few. this 3rd of august. and 1st, millions of americans are at risk of becoming homeless as an eviction moratorium expires. congress broke up for some, a recess, unable to agree on an extension of the ban that was supposed to help stop the spread of cove it and keep people at home, including crucially those enabled to pay rent after losing the job. assuring the

panoramic kellum open in new york city got the details, the fries on home foreclosures and evictions that for coven expired on july 31st. this moratorium to keep people in their homes was set in place back in september. it is not known how many people could potentially become homeless as a result of the moratorium being allowed to expire. one survey suggests the number could be 3600000. 1 woman who is highlighted in u. s. press reports is 38 years old and has ongoing health problems. her landlord is refusing to take federal rent assistance. she's only got $800.00 in savings and she could soon be out on the street. us media outlets also spoke to a mother in los vegas who has lost her 2 jobs and is now behind on her $900.00 per month rent. she is terrified and what could happen to her and her 2 children. she says the job offers are coming in, but they're not coming in fast enough. some activists to gathered outside the us

capitol, demanding an extension. they actually turned out our property was the landlord. so if we put up like we put up a legal fight for the longest, because we didn't have any worlds and we're seeing the fact that many people can afford to live in a ryan and get kicked out of their homes. is the reason why i think we have to be here. we thought for it in january got extended, sort again in, in june when it got extended and were fighting for it again. now, just because the panoramic isn't over and you see a surge corona virus cases because of the delta. and you also are seeing that people are still not fully back to work. especially the working class are still struggling a lot. they were joined by democratic lawmakers. i know what this 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 7 mill 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 blanket 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 now the moratorium was allowed to expire and then congress went into a recess. nancy pelosi has called for joe biden to extend the more rhetoric before congress reconvenes. however, the white house says there is a problem. the supreme court said it could only be extended with aggression authorization, that was their decision. that's how they were able to strike it down and that's what they needed to happen. now, keep in mind,

the white house is very happy to unilaterally send troops. there is plenty of dramatic swift action coming from the executive branch, but not when it comes to rescuing america's working families. families across the country are now panicking and losing sleep summer having to choose between rent and mortgage bills and food. many are now scrambling to find a job with the prospects of soon being out on the street seeming quite imminent, honestly, for me to organize the person that understand that building power. the only thing that really transform a country and movement, especially congress create conditions for millions more people to be experiencing and how to charity that. the other related to that like increased risk to the delta various like increase with the physical or psychological violence and all of the things that happened you created organized. so the congress is present of

a bigger call that people are set up and we're continuing to see our efforts to demand that our government overwhelmingly actually center vulnerable people working for people. yet, even with the democratic majority after the fight. so hard to get here, we're still having gas that have all believe so the court pay mat protest, master of 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. some were on the brink, are now talking about taking matters into their own hands. a hash tag called occupy congress has already been created. some say that desperate times require desperate measures. let's see what happens. failed martin. r t new york. yeah, it talks about it. some more as well with real estates expert travis sheraton who

fears that the failure to extend the eviction moratorium knows can almost certainly exacerbate the health crisis. why see, i have 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. former british on past the term blogger as 100 himself into police in scotland, a 78 month prison sentence for contempt of court. craig murray arrived home with

family and support his on a polish champagne. but nothing to celebrate for him. it's been 70 years since 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. so the back story murray was convicted over details published in his blog during the sexual misconduct trial of the former scottish 1st minister alex salmon in which the identities of the women alleged to be victims could potentially have been revealed through the so called jigsaw effect. and the de, someone who was acquitted of all 13 charges, but strict laws in the u. k. allow alleged sex, so victims to remain anonymous throughout. even so journalists fit in the craig, marie's imprisonment sets of worrying precedent. reporters without borders

r s f. considered the prison sentence, disproportionate and the journalist must ensure that he had the court orders with regard to witness protection. imprisonment in connection with any journalistic activity should only ever be as of compared his case to that of julie massage. indeed, the wiki found us extradition proceedings were covered very thoroughly by the diplomat turn blogger. we talked about the story in some depths with a former justice secretary, the coordinator of the craig murray, justice campaign, they both say in their view, 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 could fear into the heart of journalists and public commentators reporting what can be reported by mainstream media scope. this is doc b for bloggers is a dark day for the scottish traditional system. moment things have gone wrong. first of all, the judges reasoning seems to be that mr. muddy should be treated differently from the mainstream media. i think that are several arguments to be made against stock. firstly, the most flagrant breaches of personal liberty, of tennessee, of beaches, of contempt of court, of come from the mainstream medium. so this idea that if you are in the mainstream media, you are somehow absolutely christine empathic. but if you're a blogger, or somebody who's not in the mainstream media, then you are a danger. has no substance or credibility as things come,

which time it's been revealed. britain's national health service had a draft planned to deny to elderly people in the event of any severe pandemic. they came from documents disclosed by the telegraph newspaper. but despite that dross never being implemented, elements of it seemed to be ringing true to this day. with one company we spoke to, she told us it's an acceptable interview that the an h s. still has to prioritize. who should and who should not receive treatment. that they failed because they basically, anyone that they made certainly retirement age seems to be not where they are being looked after. so to me it just looks like they were looking after the ones that were going to make money. and the ones that have already made the money is going to cost the money going to be thrown aside like to help them with a can home, you know, pull families of their loved ones in home. they sent those like lambs. by just

knowing them, he knew what was going on, or that i've been a complete and utter waste of time because don't fit a sill. prioritizing who should and who shows should not receive and of life is dreadful. the 2017 draft plan was to ensure the health service could cope with any overwhelming numbers in the event of any particular health crisis in it. care would have been prioritize for patients with a better chance of survival. it was drafted up to huge irregularities, apparently with fund you can respond systems, but the, and she stated that the plan did not form the basis of the later response. now to the current corona, various pandemic, the n h s was asked to produce this discussion document based on the specific and extreme hypothetical scenario to inform the governments pandemic flu preparedness program rather than for racial use. and that did not form the basis of the n h. s response to the corona virus. in this current covered our break care homes have

been hit so hard. 42000 residents in england and wells have died since they have begun. on a former senior advisor to the pm open, acknowledge the government's failure and shielding those facilities. we were told to go to lunch that people will be tested before they went back to terms. we only subsequently found out the dod and happened. now all the government rectory was, we put a shield around and blah, blah, was complete. nonsense. put the opposite, putting shield route, the recent people we come back to the camps. i think the homes are always being on the bridge in the goldman and everything was with the last i know the and they said they had home later and without them we still we still are testing colby policy people

from new york and scout or hospital because the irish, how the job was still i think some of it was telling the phone turn, i think it was on television. chair homes were being tested, the residents will be private home in our hospital. wasn't in the initial at the time then. and that's a lot of the reason why do i call the care home life? one awful 18 months has been so many people last year, tuesday, august, the 3rd without international law for moscow. hi there, it's kevin here to take you through the rest of the stories which are coming up after this break. the

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have is crazy. plantation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk with me ah ah, i

use the again, the former us ambassador moscow since become one of russia's biggest critics, is revealed that the move to in for war is, but i'm pretty lucrative one. but after the post was posted online, welcome a full was forced to eat his words somewhat constantly rose coff reports. as soon as he quit as us envoy to russia in 2014, michael mcfaul became perhaps moscow was most poisonous hater. and the 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 visual, he pan was 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, imag close to $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 to dam visit from russia, and i am not afraid to tweet under my own name. i feel sorry for people like you are brave enough to do so. the twitter user who had masters mcfall a trigger in 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 crime and adviser reactive 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 ministry spokeswoman maria's harvard had previously simply described him as in that my fault is 2 years in moscow,

were mired in gaps 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 $14000000.00 tax evasion in russia. but instead of using, he suppose, russia expertise to build bridges, he used his statement like form and 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. i disruptive, not paying attention to any of the kind of rules of the liberal international system, and then 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 a genuine abuse that just happened to feed what, how, talking point,

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 dab, investigative journalist, gland, and greenwood. also mark mc force as attempt to play the victim card. heels implied if critic were 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 are not about putting 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 de arctic swarm of russian troops was accused me of failure. and i responded in the most unprofessional way, explanation, not excuse. still stanford students who pay a small fortune to be lacquered by me must be delighted to know that cash is going on. what he does. he is a giant house in paradise. yes, he admit, it was mistake. he said, we describe it as an arrogant, mistaken certainly was, it was astonishingly crass and vulgar statement. what he tweeted was bad to brag about his, his luxurious lifestyle is his great job. his $1000000.00 mansion, his, his $1000000.00 a year, salary, et cetera, et cetera. it was very crass and vulgar and the only thing it shows is that is that war mongering pe, student at stanford university get a very distorted picture of russia from people like michael mcfall. to 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. that we take a few minutes to wrap those awful while fi cylinder way in the southern europe pictures infers from croatia the latest country to be effected, $55.00 to planes dumping waters close that can to try to quell the spread at the moment, but it is subject to change authority say they've managed to bring the situation under control elsewhere as track along the med coast and the aftermath of wildfires is what you're looking at here. and it's really becoming more and more clear. farm is voicing that concerns for the livelihoods in the wake of what happens roman i'm saying it's intention to send special teams to try to assist locals. there's those things, but together again, but turkey really still underway, this,

particularly in the west or those flames. continue. think of woodland mom or if they've already claimed the lives of 8 people and there's no sign of the situation easing off anytime soon as a finding place. now, when people entering forest said many a turkeys province will keep a close eye on that you can follow it to it. r t dot com, developing story, her close hello, of opposition. blogger election. a volley lou bob is supposed to be found guilty in the last hour breaching anti covey drills by moscow court. in january, she encouraged people to join an authorized anti criminal rally. she now faces a nighttime curfew among other restrictions to a movement of he's done a quarter scott the latest his lunch time while loop off. so we'll basically was a former lawyer for russian opposition figure alex saying of all these anti corruption foundation, which is now considered an extremist organization within the russian federation, she was found guilty of leading people to break coven 19 met measures by calling

them to unsanctioned rallies. over social media and that was actually during the protests that took place in russia back in january. and now social is actually the 1st person to be found guilty in connection to breach a breach of these cove at 1900 measures. now the prosecution originally did not call and she did not call it all for her to be imprisoned. they actually called. busy for her freedoms to be restricted for 2 years in the end, they got a year and 6 months. now, what does this mean by restriction of freedoms? it means that number one sobel won't be able to leave moscow. she'll have number 2, she'll have to be inside her house from 10 pm to 6 am. number 3, she will be barred from participating in mass gatherings. and number 4, she will have to check in with a police officer from the federal penitentiary service 4 times a month. now. now the defense in terms of defense, social pleaded not guilty. her lawyer said that her social media posts didn't encourage people to break these covered 1900 measures. and before the verdict was

issued, the her lawyer said that they will be appealing the results in the case of a guilty verdict. so there were also some angry sobel supporters who were, who were upset with the entire court process. one municipal deputy that came to support her was outraged after he wasn't led inside the court room. but that was because that the process was entirely closed. not even the media was left and let in another person was arrested out in front of the court room who was picketing. so definitely a very controversial trial and that's the verdict guilty and a year and 6 months of restricted freedoms. you know, don't quote that, but a news such as a fraction of what we're talking about for watching the last half hour so far this tuesday or t find so much more adopted the comment of social media. and you'll say as well, of course. so as welcome reporting from us go, connie brace here for now to take you through the afternoon, but for now, my name's kevin. now in for me in the team. thanks for watching this policy now. wherever you are around the world of a great day. ah

e mail hughes? we begin today with the latest on that tanker ship attack in the gulf of home on then the mercer street operated by an israeli company was hit by a suspected drone attack off the coast of oman, a british national, and a romanian citizen were, were both killed israeli prime minister natalie bennett, claimed her on shall not be shot. i have now heard that i ran and a cowardly man are trying to avoid responsibility for the event they are denying me . so i see here. so loosely, i ran is the one that carried out the attacking the ship. i ran aggressive behavior is dangerous, not only for israel, but also hard international interests, the freedom of navigation and the international. luckily, friend, he also said that they have the intelligence evidence proving iran was indeed behind this latest drone attack. however, on foreign ministry spokesman denied any or any involvement, as is usually the case. as you may recall, yet,

it's not the 1st time design is regime occupying the community has made such void accusations against the islamic republic of iran, wherever this regime has got, it has taken instability, gene terror and violence. and he went on to say that quote, whoever sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind and that are on will not hesitate. one moment he said, to protect the interests of its people and it's national security. we've heard this type of rhetoric before, but what stands out about this particular incident? is the use of attack drones leading to the question? has iran employed a new and even deadlier tackett tactic to attack its enemies? we'll dig into the story coming up. also today, another war continues to rage, the fight against coven, 1900, and the ongoing pandemic. french police clash with protesters in paris against the new cove in 1900 vaccination pass being required in the country. and in germany, thousands of people also march against the vaccination pass there as well. meanwhile, back here in the united states and florida where i live and travel here to dc from

florida, once again become the epicenter of the cove in 1900. pandemic here in the u. s. surpassing its own record number of people hospitalized with cove it as the political fight between the vaccinated and unvaccinated continues. of more details on that story coming up and speaking of battles, we'll also be talking about the battle going on right now, right here on capitol hill in washington over the massive trillion dollar us infrastructure plan. the infrastructure investment and jobs that all to $1700.00 pages as part of the bipartisan effort to rebuild america's bridges, roads, and tunnels. will this thing ever get past? we'll have more details and debate with our political panel on john hardy, and this is news views hughes right here on our t america. we have a lot. 5 of news and stories to tackle. so let's get to it. ah

. so the dangerous tit for tat, if you will, continues in not only really the war of words, but the proxy war and what's being called the shadow war between is where israel enron, over this latest escalation of violence and the gulf of oman with the attack. as i mentioned on that israeli company, link tanker ship, well british prime minister boars, johnson called the attack in which a british citizen was killed, a quote on acceptable and outrageous attack on commercial shipping. and that a ron should face consequences. us secretary of state spirit, anthony blink, and also blaming iran, and likewise condemning the attack. so where does it go from here? what's iran strategy with this? so when more on this, this incident, let's bring in former us naval intelligence officer john jordan, john, great to see you look at.
