the in the, in the headlines for moscow, millions of cash strapped americans risk being kicked out of their homes as an eviction bad and posed to help. the spread of coven comes to an end of the same time as congress which failed to extend. it goes off in the summer holidays. i have been evicted before myself. i have had to sleep among harbor. so as a sitting congress will, there is no way that i could just allow congress to reset the ball. makes sense to ship to tack on freedom of speech in the reactions of youtube, bending sky news, australia for a week, for violating the platforms, cobra policies. the channel claims that only question wearing mask and lockdown policies prevail the case national health service secretly mold drop plan to exclude elderly people from being looked up in a flu kind of damage. now,
8:01 am
a year and a half into co, it's older people in the bronx with outbreak. much does the distress of one kind of home work a week. i think the homes are always paid on the fringe of the goldman and everything would, would be the way i live for moscow. this is our t international. my name is colleen bray. welcome to your will these, this our 1st the tough times ahead for millions of americans who are at risk of becoming homeless as an eviction moratorium expires. congress broke up for the summer recess, unable to agree on an extension to the ban, which was supposed to help stop the spread of covert and keep people at home, including crucially those unable to pay rent after losing their jobs. during the pandemic kind of open reports from new york, the fries on home foreclosures and evictions that for coven expired on july
8:02 am
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 more atoria 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 gathered outside the us capitol, demanding an extension. they actually turned out that property was in the
8:03 am
property. and we put up like we put up a legal fight for the longest. we didn't have anywhere else to go. and she was seeing the fact that many people can't afford to live in a room and they 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, decided for it 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 as a 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 the car myself, and so as a sitting congress woman, there is no way that i could just allow congress to recess, go on vacation, and for me to just go on with my life and not care about the 7000000 people you
8:04 am
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 moratorium before congress reconvenes. however, the white house says there is a problem. the supreme court said that it could only be extended with congressional 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
8:05 am
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 and organize the person that understand that building power are the only thing that really transform a country and movement, especially congress to create the conditions for millions more people to be experiencing homelessness. and the other related to that life increased risk to the delta barrier like increase with the physical or psychological violence and all of the things that happened, you create it organized. so i think the congress is to present a bigger call that way can happen. people are set up like this and we're continuing to see our efforts to demand that our government overwhelmingly,
8:06 am
actually since are multiple people working people for people. yet even with the democratic majority, we thought so hard to get here. we're still having these gaps that have all lead. so of course i can pay mass protest, master action. and that's because of those, those of us who are conscientious about waiting to do things and the ways that we engage them. 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 real estate expert travis sheridan predicts that the failure to extend the eviction moratorium little most certainly exacerbate that 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,
8:07 am
that only works if you have a home, right? it's quite impossible to do lockdown if you are and house. 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 an house 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. youtube is continuing its campaign against a so called misinformation. the google owned video sharing site has banned sky news, australia to 7 days for violating cobit policies, claiming it could cause real world hom, many of branded the move as censorship. while the channel itself claims that he questioned, wearing masks and locked down policies on the court,
8:08 am
has the story is freedom of speech under attack, that's on many australians minds after youtube slapped a one week suspension on sky news for allegedly breaching the platforms, policies on coven misinformation, i say allegedly because you tube didn't exactly specify which videos where the problem and this has led to some crying out in terror for what they see as a trampling of their freedoms. census of the sea and motion youtube sky news, this trail is suspension. is a disturbing assault and freedom of thought, sky, or an actual news agency. what happen to freedom of the press? of course there was no shortage of those who thought sky news got what it deserved . murder controls up to 80 percent of us trellis prince media. the fact sky news will be suspended from you to for misinformation is only the tip of the iceberg as to how nice coff has brainwashed salience and spread valenze and hatred and fake news about china. sky news, australia, unable to identify videos that lead to youtube suspension and fairness,
8:09 am
we do pump out a lot of said a source part from the suspension and some deleted videos. the news outlet is also one strike. closer to a permanent ban youtube claim. some of sky news is videos denied the existence of cove at 19, and that's all we know. sky news, australia was at its youtube channel, taken down for very old post very videos about cobit 19. and the time is interesting because as we know, i'll show you is now one of the most severely locked down countries on earth, youtube, and working with the i'll show you government to center information and to take down news organizations that in the past and things that they find bubble magic to the current over narrative. it wasn't long before sky news published a response, inferring that actions like these were a slippery slope, tao sheets, and that the channel had fallen victim to a double standard. among the videos deemed unpalatable for societal consumption,
8:10 am
but debates around whether masks were effective and whether the ends were justified . when considering their adverse health outcomes. and on the issue of masks, i wonder whether america's chief covert 19 advisor anthony foresee will be banned from youtube. in case you forgot that was in reference to when the top us infectious diseases, experts said that people don't need to be walking around and masks right now, people should not be what there's no reason to be walking around with the mask. the countries media watchdog doesn't seem to think the situation is black and white, though since the beginning of 2020. it's received. 23 complaints about sky news is pandemic coverage. but get this, the australian communications and media authority has no authority over social media platforms. digital platforms such as youtube are not currently subject to the same co regulatory arrangements. australia is traditional broadcast media. in this case, you tube has made it decision to the spence guy news,
8:11 am
according to its policies for its platform. it's led many to wonder why can some corporations do whatever they want, while the government has its hands tied, you only way we get which back against big tech would be if legacy media introduce me to or the organizations decided to take them on. and because the politician don't seem to have any will to do so, because obviously spends more money than any other organization lobbying in washington. it's showing more and more of a big tech is actually in control. and it might be big tech during the gotten the bidding of the government now. but how soon is it going to be when the government is doing the bidding, a big tech, and when big tactics want some favors in government for all of this work they're doing on their behalf. it's very, very scary stuff. i'm not sure what it's going to take or how quickly that can, that can change. my british ambassador turned blogger has handed himself into police in scotland to serve an 8 month prison sentence. the contempt of course,
8:12 am
craig murray arrived with family and supporters unable to champagne. nothing for him to celebrate though it's been 70 years since someone in scotland was lost in prison on a charge of contempt by the media scottish pen 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. mary was convicted over details published in his blog during the sexual misconduct trial. the former scottish post minister alex famine in which the identities of the women alleged to be victims risked being revealed through the so called cheeks or effect of summoned with a credit of all 13 charges. but strict laws in the u. k. allow alleged texas or victims to remain anonymous even so journalists fear the craig murray's imprisonment now sets of worrying precedent reports without borders are considered the prison sentence. disproportionate and the journalist must ensure that he had
8:13 am
the court orders with regard to witness protection improvement in connection with any journalistic activity should only ever be a measure of absolute last resort. if at all, some crag marissa porters, as compared his case to that of julian, a sound indeed, the wicked legs found as the us extradition proceedings were covered thoroughly by the diplomat blogger. and we talked about the story in some depth. the former scottish justice secretary and also a coordinator of the craig marie justice campaign. they both see 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, there'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 put fear into the heart of journalists
8:14 am
and public commentators reporting what can be reported by mainstream media. well in scotland i think this is doug. b for bloggers is a doc d for the strategies traditional system take a moment, things have gone wrong. first of all, the judges reasoning seem to be that mr. muddy should be treated differently from the mainstream media. now i think that are several arguments to be made against that. firstly, the most flagrant breaches of personal liberty or privacy, beaches of contempt of court come from the mainstream media. so this idea that if you are in the mainstream media, you are somehow absolutely christine and panic. 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 in britain state health service had dropped,
8:15 am
planned to deny, cut the elderly people in the event of a severe pandemic, he came from documents disclosed by the u. k. telegraph newspaper, but despite that draft never being implemented, elements of it seemed to be ringing true to this day with one campaign we spoke to . she told us, it's unacceptable that the an h. s still has to prioritize who should and should not receive treatment. they say fail because they basically, anyone that they've 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 were the, made the money going to cost the money going to be thrown aside like they have done with the can home, you know, po, families of their loved ones and care home, they sent those, or like lambs to slaughter by just knowing them, he knew what was going on, or that has been a complete and utter waste of time because a still prioritize they who should been,
8:16 am
who shows should not receive end of life. it's dreadful. 2017 draft plan was to ensure the health service could cope with overwhelming numbers in the event of a health crisis. in it, k would have been prioritized for patients with a better chance of survival. i was drafted off the huge irregularities were found in britain's response systems. but then a chassis stated that the plan did not form the basis of the late response to the current corona virus 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. the covert outbreak head care home heart, 42000 residents in england and wales died since the outbreak began. one form a senior adviser to the prime ministers openly acknowledged to the government's
8:17 am
failure in shielding those facilities. we were told categorically in much the people will be tested before they went back to terms. we only subsequently found out that that hadn't happened. now all the government rectory was, we put a shield around carol was involved complete nonsense point the opposite putting shield route. the we sent people, we covered back to the camps. i think the homes have always been on the on the bridge of the goldman, and everything was with the other. always will after all, i know the people that can home later and without the struggles. we still, we still are testing colby policy people from your scout or hospital because this virus, how the job was still very close. i think some of it was telling the truth,
8:18 am
i think it was on television homes were being tested, the residents will be tested private home. and this was the initial and that's a lot of the reason why do i call the care home? because a lot like go without see coming up the murder probes launched after him. this thing better. russian anti government activist is found hanged in a park and the premium capital. it's gone. you still ahead when we come back and the rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in

the capital building shook america to its core in january. and the commission is now looking for answers. but there's a tragic sight to the aftermath of the riots. that's not really making many headlines for officers who were on duty that day. recently committed suicide and their families largely put the blame on those events of january the 6. let's get more on that now. it seems to me trip hawkins calculus for us. so we got for grieving families, who were these offices who tragically took their own lives? yeah, well, for the official number, we have so far of the officers who took their lives, who had responded on january 6 during the capitol hill right now. yesterday the metropolitan police department announced that 2 officers took their lives 1st being called the fray tag 26. he was a 5 year veteran in force, and he was found dead about a month ago and on july 10th. and later that same month on july 29th gunther hostetter $43.00 had oh was also
8:21 am
a veteran 18 years on the force. he also killed himself leaving behind a wife and 3 children. but however, those are just the latest death police officers who had responded to the capitol hill right. another 2 officers committed suicide. shortly after the rise themselves, the 1st one being our leaving good 16, your police force veteran. he killed himself just 3 days after the riots, and that was followed by jeffrey smith, also veteran of the force who shot himself on his way to work on january 15th. he had no history of depression or mental health issues, but he did suffer an injury during the riots. now, the family of officer hospital has so far, at least, not made any connection direct connection between his taking his own life and arrives on january 6th. but other families have stated that the riots and their
8:22 am
aftermath put significant mental stress on the officers who responded when my husband left for work that day. he was the jeff that i knew when he returned after experiencing the event being hit in the head. he was a completely different person. i do believe if he didn't go to work that day, he would be here. what must not be lost and all of this is that my beloved husband died as a result of his dedication to the us capital police and the sacrifices he made to his well being on the 6th of january. and then suing days, just as surely as if he had been slain on the capitol steps, recognition of the cause of his death. much like the critical examination of the right itself will remain central to how we make right those tragedies and help avoid their repetition. obviously the colleagues and families of these officers have been devastated by all this. some of the widows of these officers are now even fighting to have the death of their husbands. be classified as in the line of duty
8:23 am
and the family of the latest victim. you say officer hush, family has set up a crowd funding page to help support the family and fund officers. morial, clearly a catastrophic mental toll on the cruise working at the capital that day is the been any official response? well, the officials response has been basically, officials and lawmakers expressing their condolences, latest being the nancy pelosi, who express or who should statement regarding the latest officer's death officer. she was a hero who risked his life to save our capital, the congressional community, and our very democracy. now, just as a reminder, this whole thing about the january sex rise, the investigation is still going on as we speak to this day. lawmakers are still hearing testimonies from people who are there, protesters, staff members, police officers, and anybody who is there during the attack,
8:24 am
which resulted in at least 5 deaths, dozens of hospitalizations and hundreds of injuries among both protesters and police officers. now, so far, seemingly thousands of people who stormed the building that day over $500.00 have now been charged for that and selection. but some of even admitted to the, the charges. but the situation is still evolving as the investigation continues to go on. clearly the videos of the violence in the instigators, they get all the attention but neither are plenty of other people affected by others. ok to me, thanks very much for them. next police and berlin are looking into the cases of a ledge brutality by offices incidence. that a said to have taken place during sunday's protest against coven restrictions demonstrates his claim. the police used excessive force and video, showing right squads, getting heavy handed with protest as emerged. his europe correspondent peter oliver . well, there's been a lot of videos doing the rounds since sunday showing violent clashes between
8:25 am
police and protest as to where they are demonstrating against measures put in place to stop the spread of coven 191 video. in particular though, has drawn a lot of attention because it seems to show a police officer grabbing a woman by the neck and throwing her to the floor. the me this is also drawn the attention of the un wrap onto for torture. that's nills meltzer. he's put out an appeal on his social media accounts calling for anybody who witnessed this incident to come forward. he's so far not talk to anybody in the media concerning his potential involvement and what that would form that could potentially take in this particular incident. what he has said is that he's in touch with the german police with the german authorities. he's asking essentially for explanations from them. and then we'll see where we go
8:26 am
. now the protests hot, the protest took place on sunday, had been prohibited by court order that they said that they could and would potentially spread coven 19. everybody who turn dope knew they weren't supposed to be there. in fact, that was made abundantly clear to absolutely everybody. what we did see was some demonstrators attacking the police themselves, but it's this video of, amongst many other videos, i'm a style of police violently. some would say pushing protests back, which is drawing the attention and this particular one video of the police officer story and the woman to the floor this, i think it's going to bear a lot more inspection in the future of the so called better russian house in ukraine has been found dead in the ukrainian capital, give the tale shot was supported fellow bella russians who fled the country during recent unrest. there with the details, his artes constantino's. cough so what we know so far is that the tele show over
