the the deadlines this wednesday morning, the, you know, exception digital cove, at 19 certificates from san marino, whose population is almost fully vaccinated with the sputnik the vaccine. the very same russian job is still waiting approval from the blogs, medical agency. the news washington says it's concerned this morning about reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates. while some british media are already pointing the finger to run, it comes days off for a deadly drone attack on another tank or the region to cover up or not debate rages that of how effective wearing a medical mosque and controlling the spread of the corona virus. sweden drop the requirement before recording 0 new coded cases. while the u. s. though is saying

it's crucial to wear one panel a guess discuss the conflicting recommendations. they told us to wear the mask and then we won't have locked down. so now we're doing lockdown. it's one of the police reduction measures. federal help. ah, good morning for russia this wednesday, the 4th of august. you watching out his national would be kevin. now in 1st, the european commission news it has recognized coven health passes issued by san marino, where the vast majority of those vaccinated the tiny country received russia's sputnik v job collation not been approved or by the use official regulator. none the less summary could legally import the job because it's not a member of the european union. donald quarter joins house could tailor to explain the 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 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, 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 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, our green pass with a 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 you, while 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 sputnik v sharp to send marino or something obviously not know, 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 despotic the shot are 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, we just also saw reports that the italian authorities are refusing these cobra 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. daria revolt an international relations expert and former m. p. as his own view on the commission's decision on a, it's not favorable, he's not a matter of what offices 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 is that the n a use a de la paying a robot for reason that nobody knows. maybe you know what you need. nobody knows

why e n a is not approving to this. put me be attention people that went to san marino for gaining the sport niga already mounts ago. not all right now to receive the green bus. it is really ridiculous because it is a no one that spoke to me at least the valley the as the other saying, it was at least if not more. the other news this morning, the usa is deeply concerned at reports of an oil tanker being hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates with little clarity on the case so fast. some in the west are already blaming iran to run her. it's part denies any involvement condemning such because ations is propaganda and update from the case maritime authority. meantime, says that the hijackers have now left the vessel, but the details are still unclear. is the latest poll asleep wraps it up?

what we doing from the u. k. maritime authority that a potential hijack has a could unavailable off the coast of the united arab emirates. now they saying that the information they had suggest that between 809 people boarded the tanka, we are hearing from me, which is foreign office that they are investigating this matter. but this has no stopped push media from already pointing fingers as iran at the same time. also in the same area, they are full tank 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 incidence. 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. you

read. we have heard from the british prime minister always johnson saying that there will be consequences for iran because of that attack. i think that the iran should face up the consequences of what they've done except that the attribution that the foreign secretary has made, not your role 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 will work together on ways to respond to, to read. we've also heard in the last few, always 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, has said that there is no conclusive evidence. and they said the no definitive information in terms of who was responsible for beth attach. iran has also said

that it is not involved. it has repeated this several times. and it is also warned that if there's any kind of waste an attack, it will retaliate. so all of the searching making the region more chance than it was just a short time ago. you know, policy, they said the code by a 100 was savvy to a professor of political science at the university of toronto. he told us accusations without evidence could lead to an escalation between, around in the west inches are very high right now. so throwing ations without any evidence might actually lead to an escalation on. nevertheless, it's an open secret that you on in 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. the history has shown us that these 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, and i think that will sour the situation and it might lead to a breakdown of the negotiations. now if the negotiations actually break down that i think that would really escalate the tensions between iran in israel in the region . ok now it's a year on from a devastating chemical blast and bay route to claim the lives of more than $200.00 is believed to have been one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history. will recall it a way you find the next video. distressing the

ash human rights group on this international is condemned lebanese officials for quote, shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into the black $111.00. his oldest hospitals was devastated by the explosion as well as you can see there. one nurse died, but also one person was born to that very minute year on the baby's report is still to be doing well. thankfully. we spoke to a nurse on the maternity unit. she told us, honey, was not an option at the time, was simply too much to do pounds than i was funding my mother and about my day and the last i do remember my cleaning alone feeling very bad that i did not know if i was okay to be able to be kid and didn't have an idea what has what has happened? so i when i take my hands and i was able to cite,

actually i supposed to be the what the be where, where are they if they are okay. so this is what i would up and see where they would and take them inside. i really bad. what i had gone because i had the same way i could, i could not go into panic mode. i had to be able to be in the base were giving me breathing and they did that and they had to keep going and they fun to be able to. i have the babies in the go, they doing very well. they go away and i went to the bed and every day they send me pictures and they send me everything they, they say how they feed, the things they doing, they went to charities in the u. k. a sounding the alarm of

what they claim as a public health emergency with locked down for loss of loved ones. lots of homes and jobs is pushed many people to the edge and many attorney drugs to try to cope with it. apparently, according to data from the office for national statistics, the number of deaths related to narcotics in england, the wells in 20 twenty's almost 4 percent higher than it was in 2019. that is the highest since records began in 1993. the chief executive of one you care diction center says he's not surprised because it's easy said to get your hands on. some drugs were living in a parallel. pandemic drug alcohol and mental health pandemic is only worse and due to the virus. enough is enough. we need to come together as a society and take reelection a similar situations who registered in other countries to scotland as more drug deaths per capita than any european country. the united states is dealing with a 30 percent increase compared to previous years. experts we heard from pointed out

the aggravating factors at play. if you stop interaction between people, if you limit the possibility to meet and to hang out in a pop and meet friends, it is obvious that this will have some effect on the psyche of people. so i think it was just a prioritization of the fighting of the virus problem. and government simply forgot that people are not machine which you can separate, you will have an effect. and the effect is now being seen in terms of depression and rising track, drug abuse. drugs has become a lot more accessible by the advance of the incident and more specifically by the ability to pay anonymously on the internet for things. so we have seen that as it's becoming easier to purchase things on the internet and pay for them in

a non traceable manner. people's confidence in, in purchasing illegal substances on the internet has increase. so we are, we are aware that there is a definite change in, in the access routes of illegal substances that our service uses participates in. and certainly the incident plays a very large role in that this is also coming up small in sweden, stop minded, 3 miles squaring a month ago. but america's health agency says we should all still be wearing one because of that infectious delta strain panel of experts. thrush that the conflicting recommendations been off for the brake the ah, the news never

driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me who dares think we dare to ask me ah

ah next, depending a look at it love more a time you see more or more of a modern, popular in eco friendly, those electric scooters are fast, new way of getting around cities. but it turns out of the wrong hands. obviously, i suppose really, they might not be that safe with more and more accidents being reported, we took a test drive through moscow and london foss. convenient and environmentally friendly. e scooters massively growing in popularity here in the u. k. over the last few years. the relatively cheap to run and use electricity. so that perfectly invoke with the current focus on renewable energy. although russia is a relatively low lead boomer in the market of shareable electric scooter,

this service has spread rapidly across the country where the number of users doubling. since the beginning of the pandemic, as more people are being encouraged to use and to visual means was transferred, it's also become an all time favorite among all kinds of delivery companies. these goodrich, i available for ranch for a number of different smartphone apps and can be found pretty much on every street corner. yes, not everyone is so keen on the british government, his band excuses from public roads, saying they can only be used on private land. it is not currently possible to get appropriate insurance for privately owned e scooters, meaning it is legal to use them on the road or in public spaces. it is legal to use an excuse her on private land with the permission of the landowner from specific companies on the road. the spart protective measures up 220-0000 accidents involving excuses are protected by the end of this year. there are also concerns

around the impact that uses having on vulnerable people in society, especially the visually impaired leaving me to wonder exactly where london the stand. and the question of a, you know, people actually had to go to school because of so far i could drive myself. i think any dangerous, it depends on what it is clued up. there didn't nothing. there was trouble fall to false and there's no oversight. there's no guidance for these people, they just buy them and, and they're just allowed to get onto the road in the footway without any guidance, a few weeks back and we just going so fast. and then i think the handle at the top just came off in the middle of the road. the guy just fell off by lucky. there wasn't another call. it could've been a fatal accident. yes. as the number of people whizzing around moscow park, so pavement growth. so does the number of accidents involving

e scooters count. people have died within the past 2 years. many believe that the reason is that scooters operate in a legal gray area. and it's true. according to the current legislation, a person on an e scooter is a pedestrian, but in reality, this is a person on a fast moving object. the city council has so far responded by introducing the so called flow zones, limiting the speed for rent it extra scooter is to 15 kilometers per hour down from 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. but clearly, that's not enough. yeah, i think each coders are fine, but most go is not will future to damage from other a few places. you can write safely. there was a fission cycle, lanes and pretty narrow sidewalk. the most i can see to the east, we do to be a mood of draws for that and is quite dangerous. if so, the near the people who don't have driving license don't lie with tropicals,

which can result sinatra. city, local infrastructure is not thought through. scooted, there are no specials, but there are lots of inconsistency is okay to write on the side should be you cycling. they should be regulated. legislative level infrastructure should definitely be modified to suit the traffic lights and special zones create the metropolitan police. are concerned about the use of excuses in crimes with the forces figures saying that excuses were involved in 574 recorded crimes in london such as robberies or assault between the 1st of july 2020 and the 30th of april 2021. perhaps the reason why rental services such as this one require you to provide your biometric data including facial recognition in order to hire one. i think what's more important is the safety rather than face recognition. i'm let people use that bank card like they use a bar 5 to 6. take them out. i think the 1st thing they need to think about is safety. i personally don't think it's necessary. i mean,

it's obviously like you said, that's a crime. surely they have cctv and i'll say probation that i think you need to guide your face to use, but otherwise screw up why you do that with that, but maybe it's unnecessary to get a snapshot. i think it would be better for public safety if the had some means of id like credit card, debit card, something like this with a place. because if you've got someone's pitch on information about that person, it would be quite easy to, to, to get the people making a menace with regards to the skills group. many believe it's the task of police to regulate and control how people use e scooters. but in fact, it's more complicated and all sides should be involved, the rental companies, the transport authorities, and the users themselves. and while it can take months to work out a proper legislative base for the service,

the scooters will continue to zoom along the streets of our big cities. well, at least until winter, for sure. sweden has marked the last few days with 0 new coven cases. and no more than one death per day over the last 3 weeks despite the country dropping the mandatory wearing of masks on july. the 1st and well say is grow about the new highly contagious delta vary and sweetness. chief epidemiologist argues that more data is needed is said before they move against new strengths. it is difficult to say how contagious delta is asked when it comes to chicken pox. we have been able to follow that disease for several years. the effectiveness of delta seems to be very uneven. in some cases, one person in fact, 100 people. then we have other occasions where an effective person does not affect anyone at all. other european countries on the u. s. so skeptical about that approach that maintaining restrictions because of the surgeon the spread of the

delta strain, just last week, american centers for disease control and prevention was that there's an urgent need for both those vaccinated. i don't vaccinated to wear masks or guest debated. the conflicting guidelines tweeted didn't do any mask band dates and there's a lot of literature out there that shows that mass don't work. so if the w h wants to let us believe in mass that i would like to see the data that shows that makes a big difference. wearing a mask, reduce the risk of transmitting by 20 percent finished. and even a one find for point to industry. in fact, yes, we should overall reduce the transmission of the virus. on my prevent, part of the other risk addiction measures that they told us get the vaccine any, get off the mass. well, we ever got vaccinated and we're still we're in a mass. so i'm not really sure it with respect to that because they told us to wear the mask and then we won't have locked downs. and now we're doing lock downs, meaning no school or things like that. a lot of countries now are, you know,

protesting. germany had tremendous protests, australia, and protests, france, and tremendous protests. so, you know, we gotta bring the people on because it's all about public health. it's selfish not to enter mosque when you should be whatever i'm asking when there's a chance to actually in effect, somebody else. we need to present powerful images and 2 voices of doors. we need to protect the law on their balls, and the message should be focusing on others. what is happening with the buyers? it's already gone to the community. and those people who survived, which is the majority, now have antibodies and have heard immunity. it's one of the risk reduction measures. we need several help. protective behaviors, wash our hands, wear mask, give social distancing, and they all would use the percentage risk. question is, how could we persuade people who now see mosque wearing as a belief choice?

the single biggest influence across all reasons for wearing a face mask abuse to be low water galveston. 4 people have been killed in a powerful explosion and gun attacking the capitol cobble, tony, as has been wounded too, according to security officials. pictures coming in. this is where you can see the main blast, the looks of it. dense cloud of smoke billowing from the scene a prominent neighbourhood, apparently in home to many diplomatic missions and senior officials blast was reportedly from a car. bomb detonated near the arabian embassy gunshot, so heard of the area in the immediate aftermath, and some reports claim armed militants and targeted the residents of the african defense minister. the fighting though is not reported to have stopped by latest accounts and the interior ministry says the attack was successfully repelled and quote, all the militants were killed by security forces. who spoke to a local journalist about the situation and capital. spite 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 i've won. parliamentarians and officials and politicians also live according to one i've on official. you know, you 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 and saying a law bought in support of the african national security forces after crowds of people did the same in the city of her rod that under you know massive in large scale parlor bon attacks, and we're seeing having an intense fighting alaska of the capital of hell mon province with very, very heavy strikes bought by the african air force. as well as by the american air
