the ah, the e u. now acceptance, cobra, 1900 certificates from san marino whose population is almost fully vaccinated with this put in a vaccine. the same russian job that is still a way to european approval. washington says it is concerned about reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast of u e. while some british media are already pointing the finger at iran, the un towards your repertoire raises alarm as a german officer hurled a woman to the ground, triggering an urgent police prob 2 more police officers on duty. when the u. s. capital was stormed by riders on january 6, have recently taken their own lives,

bringing the total to 4 officers who have committed suicide after serving at that harrowing event. ah, broadcasting love, direct my studios in moscow. this is our national. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, the european commission has recognized koby to help passes issued in san marino, where the vast majority of those vaccinated have received russia. sputnik v. that job, however, has not been approved by the official you. regulator ortiz don quarter joined my call. you get sky taylor earlier in the studio to explain this latest development. well, 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 vaccinated with subordinate me and cannot travel

freely. i mean, it all comes down to these cobit certificates that allow for unrestricted movement between you states. now, sam, 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 me. 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's 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 student v shops to send marino or something obviously not in there, but also does that. i mean, why does that you still refuse to, to approve the russian shot? it seems like the 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 dispute 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 submarine can at the same time, it seems like there's potentially a bureaucratic problem on the horizon. i mean, we just also saw reports that the italian authorities are refusing these cove at

1900 certificates, 2 people from san marino, who got the student 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 revolted in international relations expert and former politician under barely scone government has his own view on the commission's decision. and it's not favorable. it is not a matter of what offices i'm afraid that mainly in brussel is a measure of politics because you see equally cannot that rover. if an e n a is not a robot. but the fact that the m a is a de la paying approval for reason that nobody knows maybe you know, but you need to be, nobody knows why e n a is not a probing that they're supposed to be intelligent. people that went to san marino

for painting the sport niga already months ago. not all right now to receive the green bus. it is really ridiculous because it is a know that the sport is at least the valid as the other by signing at least if not more the u. s. 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 blaming iran, islamic republic for its part denies any involvement condemning such accusations as quote, propaganda or pulse clear as more what we do from the new kate maritime authority. that a potential hijack has occurred on a based off the coast of the united arab emirates. now they saying the information they had suggest that between 8 to 9 people boarded the tanka,

we are hearing from me, which is fine. office that they are investigating this matter, but this has no stopped bush media from already pointing fingers as iran and the same time. so in the same area, they are full time 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 the incident. and it's also not clear whether the 2 are connected. all of this comes just days after and he's really 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 iraq and we have heard from the british prime minister barak johnson saying that there 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

the foreign secretary has made, not israel and the united states are 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 with 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 evidence. the united nations secretary general spokesperson, however, has said that there is no conclusive evidence. and they said the no definitive information in terms of who was responsible for best. iran has also said that it is not involved. it has a piece at the table time. 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

was just a short time ago. how made it move, solving a professor of political science at the university of ron says, throwing accusations without evidence, could lead to an escalation between iran and the west. inches are very high right now. so throwing accusations without any evidence might actually lead to an escalation on. nevertheless, it's an open secret that you on an israel have 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 ships. but they don't think any sides at the moment want war never is of the future. will really depend on whether you're on will be able to each nuclear deal with the united states. history has shown us that the re, these are actually very clever in sabotaging uranian negotiations with the americans . so. busy busy if, if in fact, these re,

these are behind these red flag operations, then i think that will sour the situation and it might lead to a breakdown of the negotiations. now, if the negotiations actually break down the nice thing that would really escalate detentions between iran in israel, in the region on degrees now and dramatic scenes as firefighters. tackle massive wildfires in the suburbs of the capital, the nation has been sweltering through its worst heat wave in 30 years. temperatures are already above 40 degrees celsius with weather services forecasting a high of 44 degrees this week. the fires have cut off a major highway linking athens to northern and southern greece. people are being evacuated and then 100 firefighters have reportedly been sent to battle. the place police in berlin are looking into cases of alleged brutality by officers during sundays protest against covered restrictions. demonstrators claim please use

excessive force and video shows, riots was getting heavy headed with protesters. here's our europe correspondent, peer oliver. well, there's been a lot of videos doing the rounds since sunday showing violent clashes between playing some protesters to where they are demonstrating again, 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 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. now the protests had the protest took place on sunday, had been prohibited by court orders that it said that they could, and would potentially spread coven 19. everybody who turn dope knew they weren't supposed to be there in fact, but 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 start of police violently. some would say pushing protests back, which is drawing the attention and this particular one video of the police officer sorting the woman to the floor this i think it's going to bear a lot more inspection in the future. talking about people, i'm happy with covered restrictions over in poland,

a mobile cobra vaccination unit, as well as the local government health office were set on fire in the south east of the country on monday night. and the health minister described the arsons as an act of terror and attack on the state. police released cctv footage showing the moment to man set fire to the inoculation of facility. while makers have pledged to toughen punishment of anti facts or attacks following a series of incidents in recent weeks with anti job activists harassing staff at another vaccination clinic and active social life is to become a major challenge for unvaccinated new yorkers. as the city mayor introduces new rules banning them from public activities endorsed in an effort to boost inoculations amid a surgeon cases or to kill them up and went out onto the streets of new york to hear opinions on the move. new york city mayor build diblasio as announcing a new strategy for getting people vaccinated for covered 19 starting in mid august

indoor dining and restaurants and working out in gems will be exclusively for those who been inoculated. this is going to be a requirement. the only way to patronize these establishment indoors will be if your vaccinate at least one dose. i want you to imagine the notion that because someone's actually they can do all the amazing things that are available in the city starting in mid august in order to go work out at the gym or in doors in a restaurant. you'll have to show that you've been vaccinated now, and you'll do that either with an app on your phone or by showing your vaccination card. and beyond that, the new york city mayor didn't go into specifics about how this will be enforced at this point. infection rates in new york city are rising and 59 percent of the population has been vaccinated already. here's what people on the streets of new york had to say about the new restriction. what the mayor and the governor doing is actually legal because it violates the federal rules. people who get the vaccine

they're showing that they can transmit anyway. a lot of people don't like the nubile but i think they would. it would better help us. i think it's a difficult decision that he has to make, but i do think that you're starting to create a divide and separation within, within the community. if he has to do it to protect a new york, it's of course, it's a good idea. obviously it's a good idea. say horrible for the economy. i would say i don't think it's more seats available. what exactly that policy january storming of the capital building sent shock waves throughout america and the commission is now looking for answers. but there is a tragic aftermath of that is not making many headlines for police officers who defended the capital that they have committed suicide and 2 of them in recent weeks . well, joe biden has called them american heroes. family members believe that they could not overcome the mental strain of that harrowing event or to, to meet re power comments. there are now 4 confirmed police officers who have

committed suicide, who had been at the capitol rives on january 6th. yesterday the metropolitan police department had announced that 2 officers had taken their lives. kyle is afraid to 265 year veteran who was found dead around a month ago and gone through ha, should a $43.00 another police force veteran who had also killed himself in late july, leaving behind a wife and 3 children. however, these are but the latest tragic deaths of police officers who had worked the sheriff to the capital building during the riots and other 2 officers committed suicide. shortly after the rise. first, it was howard leaving good 16 year veteran of the capital police force who took his life just 3 days after the event. and jeffrey smith, who shot himself on the way to work in mid january. he had also dedicated over 12 years to the police force and reportedly did not have any history of mental health

issues. however, he did sustain a head injury during the rise, while the family of officer hashi, to the latest to commit suicide has not made any direct connection between him taking his life and the events of january 6. other families have stated that the riots and their 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 she returned after experiencing the event being heat 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 the ensuing 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 have even been fighting to have the death of their husbands. be classified as being in the line of duty. officers. how should have family has set up a crowd funding page to help support the family and organize the officers memorial . as for the official response to these debts, several lawmakers have already expressed their condolences, including nancy pelosi, who issued a 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, the january 6th riots are still under investigation. lawmakers are to this day hearing testimonies of the people who were there during the storming of the capitol

building. protesters, police officers, staff members, anybody who was there during the riot, which resulted in at least 5 deaths over a 1000 hospitalizations and hundreds of injuries among both protesters and police officers. so far, the seemingly thousands of people who had stormed the building that day over $500.00 people have already been charged for the insurrection with some already admitting their guilt. but the situation is constantly changing, and the investigation goes on. we previously discussed this topic with retired u. s. police officer, dominic is who says that something else outside of the protest had to be going on to force them to take their lives. i'm going to take a very unpopular opinion on this and none of these just honestly would pass the smell test. i don't see any attribution from what happened on january 6, the piece, the mostly peaceful pro, just to taking it, being so pressure us from them to take their lives. something i'll try to be going

on in their lives. and this is based on all my years in law enforcement. this is what seeing what they see in chicago on a daily basis. i don't choose to believe that, that i'm mostly peaceful protests lead to these men taking their lives on january 6 . that'd be something far more deeper, and it does sound like government and it does sound like media manipulation to make it sound to pick civilians against law enforcement or the other way around to gain empathy at least. but it just, it does not make any sense whatsoever that absolutely could cause brain from having him done make an unreasonable decision. we're taking their lives, but they have what we saw. we didn't see the riots like we saw in can oh show ferguson. what we see in chicago were, officers are pitted against the civilians and black lives matter and, and keep on the destruction they cause to being put in such a stress. the only thing, and this is what i will say, that makes the most sense of anybody who serves in law enforcement to understand when you are pressured by those who are supposed to protect your meaning, your command staff, your government,

the ones that you actually go out there and do the job, you have your back when you're pressured by them and your family is put at risk. that's where you going to make some unreasonable decisions. i don't see the events happening on january 6 leading again. so unpopular it may gain massive and favor by police supporters. it does not make any sense that will happen on january 6 would leave these men to take their lives and all the head of the so called bella, russian house and ukraine has been found dead in tier of italy. she saw held fellow by the russians who fled the country during the recent unrest. there. so what we know so far is that the tele, she shot the head of bell russian house in ukraine and organization housing bell russians, li, abroad. when missing on monday and key after setting out for a daily job is friends and colleagues sounded the alarm and started the search operation along with local police. his body was found hanged in a part in the ukrainian capital. it is not clear whether this was a murder or suicide attempt and an investigation has been launched,

but the crane police has already stated that they prioritize murder as they are leading due to the version of their security camera showing him leaving his home on monday morning. around 9 pm and police are now trying to piece together his movements after that, adults reported that his phone was turned off and it was impossible to tracy that way. italy shop was one of the founders of the organization called by the russian house. and ukraine has been an opposition activist for quite a while. he reportedly moved to neighboring ukraine in 2020 during mass protests that came on the back of presidential elections. and salaries, the position claim that's a voting that so incumbent battles, russian liter, alexander lucas. shank, when the election by landslide was rigged. something that alexander lucas shall go and he's analyzed strongly denied. as i already said. the ukrainian police have launched an investigation into the case has been reported that they consider a number of theories including that it was the murder, as i said, disguised as

a suicide attempt. president biden has finally told governor andrew cuomo to resign, but not for covering up the number of coven really deaths in new york during nursing homes. rather because of allegations he perpetrated violent sexual assaults against his colleagues in march. he said that if the investigation confirms the allegations against governor former than he should resign standby, they said, are you calling on him to resign? yes. and if he doesn't resign, you believe you should be impeached and removed from office? take the time. i think you should reside on tuesday, the new york state attorney general found that cuomo had committed the assault against 11 women in his office, including cases of touching thing and inappropriate comments. the actions are considered to be a violation of both state and federal laws, though the attorney general's report does not imply he would be prosecuted. cuomo

denies the allegations. i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. my attorney, who is a non political former federal prosecutor, has done a response to each allegation. and the facts are much different than what has been portrayed. earlier this year, the attorney general found it qual, most administration had attempted to hide the coven mortality rate in nursing homes, underestimating thousands of deaths, which led to a public outcry. but there were no legal consequences for the governor. yet. media and political analyst, lionel says that this is the end when you have the multiplicity of witnesses and victims. but somebody who was a state trooper, not that one woman's victimization is different than another. but you have people

who are assigned to a particular detail who know the law. now, what's happening right now with what is he going to say up to now? he's been very glib with. he's italian. he thinks he can talk his way out of it. what he's going to be saying right now was at, this is political. now a couple of this teacher, james, the attorney general, who has been their site of against trump and everybody certainly has political aspirations. we also have the city, the bad new york city mayor bill de blasio, who also did test scores will remember this. new york had one new governor eliot spitzer client 9 who was involved in basically cash trek cash transfers with with prostitutes and brothels. now this, they're going to be calling for his removal. this is, this is absolutely catastrophic. up till now. nobody really thought this might be

the end of him. but this is it. in war torn afghanistan, a powerful explosion has ruptured in the capital cobble reportedly from a car bomb that needed near the iranian embassy. in this video, you can see dense clouds of smoke billowing from the scene, a prominent neighborhood home to many diplomatic missions and senior officials. gunshots were reported at the scene. in the immediate aftermath, with some reports claiming armed militants targeted the residence of the afghan defense minister, the fighting, however, is now reported to have stopped. earlier we spoke to a local journalist on the situation in couple fide behind me, not very far, we could hear a series of explosions and burst of gunfire. according to multiple officials at the interior ministry, a suicide attacker detonated his car, packed with explosives outside of the home of the defense minister in the same

street. many one parliamentarians and officials and politicians also live according to one i've on official. you know, he said that the attackers that breach of the home of the minister defense after they had attacked the home of the african parliamentary. and that comes at a time when we have seen large crowds of ones, even in cities like cobble roaring in thing a law, but in support of the african national security forces after crowds of people did the same in the city of herat. that under, you know, massive in large scale taliban attacks and we're seeing heavy and intense fighting alaska of the capital of hell, man, province with very, very heavy strikes bought by the african air force. as well as by the american air force. a city of 1000000 people, children, women, and elderly stock people need food and water is no power in the middle of the heat of the summer, as well as the pandemic. at least one hospital was hit and it strikes. one official

said that there was an issue with coordinates, so i ones of got nowhere to escape to ones of got nowhere to flee, especially after years of being displaced in districts, in many of these provinces, the refuge in these provincial capitals that are now under attack to social media giants are getting flack over policing their own policies. facebook and twitter are accused of failing to take action against the blatantly anti semitic posts of the center for countering digital hate found that more than 80 percent of anti semitic posts were not being addressed by those platforms. more than $700.00 posts were via leading the site own policies, but only a 100 were actually removed. and those posts have been sent a seen by more than 7000000 people around the globe. the major social media sites are all accused of not taking enough action against antisemitism, or indeed other content considered to be hate speech. instagram has kept up almost

all posts accused of racism from this years european football championship 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 that the holocaust was a hoax. but the social networks claim their policies on hate speech are robust and have greatly improved in recent years. they have certainly been cranking down on like hard cracking down on anti vaccination groups, leading the accounts of individuals thought to be responsible for 2 thirds of all anti vaccine information. so that is left some questioning why so little appears to be done about anti semitism. in particular, we discussed this with journalist chadwick more it seems suspicious that they 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. 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 floors 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 there is a political motive here and that, you know, some groups are more equal than others to you than orwellian term. and even when you have crimes against jewish people, hate crimes rising, you still see this content for committing on social media sites. it certainly doesn't look good for them. it would be very bold if they were intentionally turning imply and died for this kind of content. and also very sick and sinister it is free of us are i will be back your headlines in about 30 minutes. this is our t international the

i choose in the the in the.
