the in the ah, the, you now exception coded 1900 certificates from san marino, whose population is almost fully vaccinated with the next, the vaccine, the same russian job that is still a waiting approval from the washington says it is concerned about reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast of u a. b, while some british media are already pointing the finger at iran, comes the days after a deadly drone attack on another tanker in the region. the un torture weapon to races alarm as a german officer hurled a woman to the ground, triggering and urgent police broke into more police officers on duty. when the u. s

. capital was stormed to buy riders on january 6, have recently taken their own lives, bringing the total to 4 officers who were committed suicide. after serving throwing events. ah, quite broadcast my direct studios in moscow. this is art international, and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. and the european commission has recognized coven health passes issued in san marina, where the vast majority of those vaccinated have received russia is putting the v. that job, however, has not been approved by the official you regulator or teased on quarter earlier joining my colleague in the studio to explain this latest development. while what it does mean basically, is that the european union has split a significant demographic of its citizens into 2 groups. those people who have been vaccinated with subordinate v and can travel freely. and those people who have been
7:02 pm
vaccinated with support and agree and cannot travel freely. i mean, it all comes down to these coven certificates that allow for unrestricted movement between you states. now, san marino certificates are valid in the e. u and that's a, that's a country that has 90 percent of its population vaccinated with sputnik v. we have had these certificates for several weeks now. europe has had them since yesterday. the signature of the commission chairman ursula fonder lion under the document is dated july 30th. thus, they recognize that the technical characteristics of our certificate correspond to european once this decision is of a technical nature. it does not imply recognition of specific v. it is about a digital signature are green past where the q r code is now readable in european apps. so basically, anyone who got the student, the shot in san marino is now considered vaccinated in the wild. those who got it anywhere else in the world. literally are considered unvaccinated or potentially ill. why hence that, does that mean? is it because russia sending higher quality?
7:03 pm
sputnik v sharp to send marino or something obviously not in there, but also does up. i mean, why does that you still refuse to, to approve the russian shot? it seems like that you want to get the protection offered by the student, the vaccine where it can, while at the same time, curbing its larger acceptance throughout the continent. i mean, the european medicines agency has been dragging its feet on, like, you know, validating the support of the shot or not validating it for months now. and in the meantime, over $65.00 countries around the world have already given the russian shot the green light, including some european countries that just didn't want to wait for brussels approval. that includes hungry and slovakia, including san marino. and people for you know, hungry in slovakia now can't travel freely between e u countries while others from san marino can at the same time, it seems like there's potentially a bureaucratic problem on the horizon. i mean,
7:04 pm
we just also saw reports that the italian authorities are refusing these colbert, 1900 certificates to people from san marino, who got the student to be shot. so it's not clear how this is going to be implemented. it seems like there's just a lot of confusion and that this is a contradiction in the law right now. dario revolt term and international relations expert and former politician under the scone government has his own view on the commission's decision. and it's not favorable. he's not a member of your office. i'm afraid that mainly in brussel is a measure of politics. because you see italy, it cannot that rover. if an e n a is not a robot. but the fact that the n a use a de la paying approval for release on that, that nobody knows. maybe you know what you need to be. nobody knows why e n a is not a probing that this would be the people that went to san marina for gaining the
7:05 pm
sport niga already mounted. go not on right now to receive the green bus. it is really ridiculous because it is a no one that supports me at the least the valley, the as the other science at least if not more us as it is deeply concerned by reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates, with little clarity on the case. some in the west are already pointing the finger and iran islamic republic for its part denies any involvement condemning such accusations as, quote, propaganda or policy, or has more what we get from the u. k. maritime authority. that a potential hijack has occurred, unavailable off the coast of the united arab emirates. now they saying that the information they had suggest that between 8 to 9 people boarded the tanka,
7:06 pm
we are hearing from me, which is fine office that they are investigating this matter. but this has no stopped push media from already pointing fingers at iran the same time. so in the same area, they all tend to, that have been reporting that they are not under command. in other words, they are not in control of themselves. they can't maneuver. now it's not clear exactly what's happening in this incident, and it's also not clear whether the 2 are connected. all of this comes just days after and israeli managed tanka was hit by a drone off the coast of oman. now in that particular incident, she crew men were killed and the u. k. office has been very quick to blame iran, and we have heard from the british prime minister bobby johnson saying that they will be consequences for iran because of that attack. i think that the iran should face up to the consequences of what they've done except that the attribution that
7:07 pm
the foreign secretary has made, not israel and the united states backing the united kingdom in blaming iran. but the thing is that nobody has any conclusive proof as to whether one office has happened. what we are hearing is that these countries will work together on ways to respond to, to read. we've also heard in the last few hours on these really side that tomorrow at a meeting of the united nations security general, they will be providing what they say is evident. the united nations secretary general spokesperson, however, had said that there is no conclusive evidence. and they said no definitive information in terms of who was responsible for best. iran has also said that it is not involved. it has a piece of this several times. and it is also warned that if it's any kind of wasted attack, it will retaliate. so all of this searching making the region more chance than it
7:08 pm
was just a short time ago. how may i move savvy? a professor of political science at the university of care for on says throwing accusations without evidence could lead to an escalation between iran and the wes answers are very high right now. so throwing his ations without any evidence might actually lead to an escalation on. nevertheless, it's an open secret that you on in israel had been engaged in a sort of like a shadow war in the past few years. and lately in the past few months, the 2 sides have been attacking each other's ships. but they don't think any side at the moment, want war. nevertheless, the future will really depend on whether you're on will be able to reach a nuclear deal with the united states. the history has shown us that the railways are actually very clever in sabotaging uranian negotiations with the americans. so . busy if, if in fact, these re lease are behind these, the red flag operations,
7:09 pm
then i think that will sour the situation and it might lead to a breakdown of the negotiations. now if the negotiations actually breakdown, then i think that would really escalate the tension between iran in israel in the region on decrease now and dramatic scenes as firefighters. tackle massive wildfires in the suburbs of the capital. the nation has been sweltering it through its worst. he'd wave in 30 years, temperatures are already above 40 degrees celsius, with weather services, forecasting a higher 44 degrees this week. the fires have cut off a major highway linking athens to northern and southern greece. people are being evacuated and more than $100.00 firefighters. have reportedly been sent to battle, blaze police in berlin are looking into cases of alleged brutality by officers during sunday's protest against covered restrictions.

demonstrators claim police used, excessive force and video shows, riots, quads getting heavy handed with protesters. here's our europe correspondent, peter oliver. while there's been a lot of videos doing the rounds since sunday showing violent clashes between police and protesters 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 well, this is also drawn the attention of the un wrap onto for torture. that's nil 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
7:11 pm
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. now the protests hot, the protest took place on sunday, had been prohibited by a court order that said that they could and would potentially spread coven 19. everybody who turn dope knew they were supposed to be there. in fact that was made abundantly clear through. absolutely everybody. what we did see was some demonstrators attacking the police themselves, but it's this video of amongst many other videos and most of police violently. some would say, pushing protests back, which is drawing the attention in this particular one video of the police officer, sorting the woman to the floor. this i think, is going to bear a lot more inspection in the future. talking about people unhappy with coven

flack over policing their own policies. facebook and twitter are accused of failing to take action against blatantly anti semitic posts. and the center for countering digital hate found that more than 80 percent of anti semitic posts were not being addressed by those platforms. over $700.00 posts were violating the sites on policies, but only a 100 were actually removed. those posts have been seen by more than 7000000 people around the globe. now the major social media sites are all accused of not taking enough action against anti semitism, or indeed other content considered to be hate speech. now instagram has kept up almost all posts accused of racism from this years european football championship a final. while facebook only added a disclaimer to one of the most viral posts denying the holocaust, and twitter is at fault for getting rid of just a small fraction of tweets, claiming the holocaust was a hooks. but the social networks claim their policies on the hate speech are robust
7:21 pm
and have greatly improved in recent years. they have certainly been cranking down hard on anti vaccination groups, deleting the accounts of individuals thought to be responsible for 2 thirds of all anti baxter information. so that's left some questioning why so little appears to be done about anti semitism. we discussed this with journalist chadwick more. it seems suspicious that may end semitism seems to be the one thing you can get away with an american society. and i'm not sure if that's just because of this, extreme israel hatred that exists on the left or, or, or what it could be. so it definitely wouldn't surprise me at that report is accurate. and you do see actually a lot of anti semitism on social media platforms. you certainly don't see a lot of fears. again, you know, black people or things like that that doesn't get immediately removed. and it's another example of these arbitrary rules that raises suspicions. that's a political motive here and that you know,
