i the, the, the, the, the headlining right now, israel 5 back up to 3 rockets, what fire towards the territory from lebanon, with live, without correspondence in the region in one minute. he, you now accept digital coban, 1900 certificates from san marino, where most of the population is fully vaccinated with the people in the vaccine, the same russian job, but still awaiting approval from the blocks med. so i did say cover up or not debate rages of how effective wearing a medical mask is and controlling the spread of corona virus. sweden drop the requirements for recording 0 new cobra cases, while the united states says it's crucial to web one. now our panel discusses the conflicting advice they told us to wear the mask,
7:01 am
then we won't have locked down. so now we're doing a lockdown. it's one of the risk reduction in nature. we need to several hope to hear the news. hello, live worldwide. this is our t international from moscow. my name's collin bray. welcome to news update. we got developments in the middle east. it says start off with for you 1st israel who started shelling lebanon in response to 3 rockets that were fired toward his territory in the last hour or so sirens and now ringing out along the border. let's go live to television. our correspondent policies that pull out what more can you tell us about this escalation? well, as you quickly say, these really ami wife now is firing shells at the area of labor. know now this follows an earlier attack from the liberty side into israel. they were 3 rockets
7:02 am
that were fired at israel. one was intercepted by the way, the system one landed in an open area, and one landed in lebanon itself. there are no immediate supports of damage or injuries on these re. earlier there was an indication that they could possibly be such an attack, particularly focused on the mortgage is weighing the town of curiosity morning, which is home to some 20000 people. and as you say, they're awesome. i went sounding in the area and the situation. there isn't a state of high alert in what's happening on the neighbor. nice little military. you can base again, it is not giving us anymore information at this time. but it has said that he's ready. shells landed between 2 nice villages. now they have been similar incidents in recent months from the lady side. they say that they don't believe kids. villa is responsible for this, but that they bought it believe that it is palestinian group operating inside lebanon. having said that,
7:03 am
it's highly unlikely that palestinian good wood fire rock as it is well without the permission of his beloved sophie. this is a situation that we will continue to monitor throughout the course of the day. a couple of development this wednesday. we'll be right back with you. should anything else i'm for now though, pull the slayer in tennessee. thank you. well, the shelling does come on a grim anniversary for 11, and it is likely one year to the day since that devastating chemical blast in beirut, which claimed the lives of more than $200.00 people. it's believed to be one of the biggest non nuclear explosions in history. now you might find the next video of it upsetting to watch again the trash human rights group, amnesty international condemned lebanese officials for quotas. shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into the blast. one of lebanon's oldest hospitals was devastated by the explosion as well as you can see here. there one nurse died, but also one person was born at that very minute. well now
7:04 am
a year on the baby's reported to be doing well. we spoke to a nurse on the maternity unit that fateful day. she told us that panic was not an option because there was simply too much to do. and then i was funding my mom about my day and 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 try to move my hands and i was able to, i supposed to be the one to be where, where are they are? they are okay. this is good up and see where they would. and then inside there we just went to bed. i had gone because
7:05 am
i had to leave in some way. i could, i could not go into panic mode. i had to be able to be giving me breathing and they did that and they had to keep going. and they fun to be able to. i happened to babies the computer 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 do. how they, how they feed the thing. so are they doing? they went and as i think it's good to hear, isn't it well, much of the repair work. i was still ongoing in not port city. however, lebanon's economy is still facing huge challenges from it's plummeting currency to power outages, as well as medicine and fuel shortages. because of this, most of the reconstruction work has been funded privately owned by n g o. the owner of a damaged historic property and a root told us of his anguish of the situation to the last 3. and my house is
7:06 am
a heritage building, but we didn't get any help from unesco or anyone. i was the only people who've been helping a one kind strange that god sent to us and recently won n g o. no one else. the government didn't help to have given us nothing but faith promises the model. i've witness many was i was born in 1944, but i've never seen the situation so bad. everyone keeps saying we've never seen such a cry and so much damage. if there was a war, it would have been easier. at least we could have had the option to escape the times of war. we were always notified to leave our homes. but this time we were left to die. sweden has marked the last few days with 0 new covey cases. no more than one death per day over the last 3 weeks. that's despite the country dropping the mandatory wearing of masks on july. the 1st amal fears grow about the new, highly contagious delta vary. sweden's chief epidemiologist argues that more data
7:07 am
is needed before they move against new strains. 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 activity 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 in the us though, are skeptical about that approach should have maintaining restrictions due to the surge and the spread over delta strain. last week, america's centers for disease control and prevention warned that there's an urgent need for both those unvaccinated and vaccinated to wear masks. our guests debated the conflict ignite lines 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. shouldn't even
7:08 am
a one find for 2 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 mask when 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 down. so 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 had to protest, france and tremendous protests. so, you know, we gotta bring the people on because it's all about public health. it's selfish or not where 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 board, one on their balls, and the message should be focusing on others. what is happening with the buyers?
7:09 am
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 to several help protect the behaviors, wash our hands, where mosque gives 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 of you has recognised coven vaccination certificates issued by sam moreno, the tiny european state, where the majority of those sedated and received russians of sputnik v. i means the vaccinate and citizens. they can travel freely within the e u that digital health policies will be equally valid as those for pfizer madana or other jobs appears approved by the use medical regulator. sputnik v though, still hasn't been cleared and people inoculated it. for example,
7:10 am
russia called travel to the u unless they've got a negative p c l test. some merino could legally pulled the job because it's not a member of the european union corresponding court to join saskia taylor 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 vaccinated was put in agree, 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 student 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
7:11 am
european ones. this decision is of a technical nature. it does not imply recognition of specific v. it is about a digital signature are green past 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 wild. those who got it anywhere else in the world literally are considered unvaccinated or potentially ill . why has that? does that mean? is it because russia sending higher quality student v shop to send marino or something obviously not know, 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 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 take 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
7:12 am
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 you 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 covert 1900 certificates, 2 people from san marino who got the sputnik 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. we got some thoughts on this from an m p, from germany's the left party, who believes the lobbying forces in the european medicines agency. simply don't want anything that's good for russian business. some marino is not in the european union, and russia is also not in the union. and the vaccination is the same,
7:13 am
so it's totally confusing. they don't want any good business or russia. i think it's, it's a real, it's a certain harm, a certain kind of an economical war. i don't believe so much when they say we want to save human lives and this is all whatever from san marino. i see it in the word of the manager of the clinic. i was watching a he said scrutiny be saved our country. that's the words he said. and if this is an experience, i cannot understand vice bon or mack who other people. ready in the government did not send long long times. before long time,
7:14 am
some months ago. their scientists to must go to the institute and asked them, what is your experience. and while you're wrangles with the cova health pass rollout, american pharmaceutical giants, pfizer, and the dana whose vaccines are approved by the european commission, reportedly taking a controversial step by hiking that price is the coven vaccines in the u. the case? the financial times, newspaper reports that are shot maternity vaccine is to go up by 2 euros, and 5 by $4.00, and $5.00 is raising its annual earnings, full cost of 8000000000 dollars to 33500000000. the company also plans to provide a 500000000 doses to the united states so that it can dispense them to some of the world's poorest countries. fighter and the commission, you have to comments on the jump in price beyond the redacted contracts, published by the european commission. the content remains confidential, and so we won't be commenting our european political analysts. nicole brokovich
7:15 am
says the price tags left and baffled because in his opinion it goes against all the usual business practice. how bizarre is this word in this situation today, we're countries like france, germany, italy are thinking about making vaccination mandatory. so we should be ordering even more vaccines than just at that moment. major companies like madonna and pfizer are increasing their prices were normally, if you respect supply and demand, the prices should go lower. so this is something there's something fishy behind the say here to make a profit. i don't believe that at all. i think that they have to be cautious now because everybody's looking, we're going to be making 3rd over 30000000000 dollars this year alone. why are they increasing the price? i'm not even speaking about the fact that the whole contract between the european union and these companies is secret. the fact that they're rising the prices by more than 20 percent, it's something which is definitely not normal. i don't know why countries today are imposing the vaccine with such a price, increase the profit for is it for the people getting the vaccine or is it for these companies? that's the right question. you know,
7:16 am
without c co save you forgetting about or minutes to city pedestrians close electric excuses and inviting opinions on any being convenient and far. but also big potentially dangerous. we're going to hop on board to see which it is off the break. ah, driven time shaped by those with the in the me there's thing we dare to ask me
7:17 am
when i was wrong. why don't i just don't the world yes to see out the same because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well the part we choose to look for common ground the the news to choose ah, hello again. now, the modern, popular and the eco friendly, we're talking those electric scooters that seem to be popping up more and more and also getting even faster in theory because they're a great way to get around the city. but perhaps goes without saying that in the
7:18 am
wrong hands or face with a big enough pulse hole, they might not be that safe for the rider will. for anyone in their way more a more accidents are being reported. so we took a test drive through 2 very busy cities. fast 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 perfectly in vogue 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, individual means was transferred. it's also become an all time favorite among all kinds of delivery companies. these good or if i available for ran for
7:19 am
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 own 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 to 200000 accidents involving in scrutiny and protected by the end the here. 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 that have actually had to go to school because of so far as the drive from i think any dangerous,
7:20 am
it depends on the news. the clued up, there is nothing there quite true 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. yeah. as the number of people whizzing around moscow, parks and pavements 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 e 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
7:21 am
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 either good or are fun, but moscow is not well suited to. well, there are few places you can write safely. fish and psycho 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 results are not. local infrastructure is not thought through. scooted, there are no special zones, but there are lots of in consist is ok to right on the side. should you cycling? they should be regulated a legislative level. the infrastructure should definitely be modified to suit the traffic lights, and special zones created the metropolitan police concerned about the use
7:22 am
of excuses in crimes. with the forces figures saying that excuses were involved in 574 recorded crimes in london such as robberies or assaults 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 was more important is the safety rather than face recognition. i'm let people use that bank card like they use a bar as 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 there has cctv and all the information that i think you need to get in your face to use the by the way the school applies. you do that with that, but maybe it's unnecessary to get a snapshot, i think will be better for public safety if the had some means of id like credit
7:23 am
card, debit card, something like this with a place because if you've got someone's pitch on you information about that person, it would be quite easy to, to, to get the people making a menace with regard to the schools. great and many belief. 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. some of the headlines stores around the world now in the drive as of to train to being killed in a rush hour crash this morning in the czech republic, around a 150 kilometers west of prague. 5,
7:24 am
i to say 38 have been injured including 7 who are in critical condition. check. railways says one of the trains is an international high speed service to germany, the other, a local commuter train, initial report suggest the crime happened because one of the drivers, mr. red light and updates on those fires ranging across southern europe in greece and major highway lincoln, athens to the north and south of the countries been cut off the nations railing. under the worst he wait, and 30 years and weather service is warm. temperatures could have 44 celsius this week. more than $505.00 fighters have reportedly been deployed so far and he had been an identified man has threatened to detonate a hand grenade at the entrance to the building that houses ukrainian cabinet. the facility has been evacuated, and special forces responded to the alarm suspects now been detained without further incident, but there's no word on the motive. charities in the u. k. a sounding the alarm over while they claim, as
7:25 am
a public health emergency with locked down the loss of loved ones, homes and jobs is pushing people to the edge. and many are now turning to illegal drugs. according to data from britain's national statistics office. the number of deaths related to narcotics in england and wales in 2020 is almost 4 percent higher than in 2019. and that's the highest sense record began in $993.00. the chief executive of one u. k. addiction center says he's not surprised because of how easy it is to obtain drugs. we're living in a parallel, pandemic, drug alcohol and mental health pandemic that is only worse and due to the virus. enough is enough. we need to come together as a society and take reelection. seminar situations being registered in other countries too. while scotland has more drug debts 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,
7:26 am
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 just separate, you will have an effect. and this 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 has become easier to purchase things on the internet and pay for them in a non traceable manner. people's confidence in,
7:27 am
in purchasing illegal substances on the internet has increased. so we are, we are aware that there is a change in, in the access routes of illegal substances that our service uses participates in. and certainly the internet plays a very large role in that. and that is the way it looks from moscow. cyber fall this wednesday afternoon is just coming up to half you to here in the russian capital. i'm calling bright with your next update and just over half. now see that? [000:00:00;00] i the growing indications, donald trump will indeed make
7:28 am
a 3rd run for the presidency in 2024. the former president remains the most favored potential primary candidate within the g o p. but what about the republican party leadership? are they on board and does trump have a message that would return him to 1600 pennsylvania and the british and american government sivilton being accused of destroying lives in their own interest? while you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end essentially destroy personality of an individual lifetime. means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how the victim say they still

live with the consequences today. the area everybody. i'm john, how do you fill in for scotty? now you're welcome to the show. we have another busy rundown with a lot of topics to get to among in germany in india sitting worships to the south china sea. really up in the pressure on china and raising more contention over china's territorial claims. there germany deployed one of its frigates, the baron on monday to sail through the south trying to see the really the 1st time actually since 2002. in a statement, germany's navy said, quote, together with its allies, germany wants to show more presence in the endo pacific. clearly berlin is sending a message to beijing. the united states, the u. k. japan, australia have also expanded her naval presence and activity in the pacific. all sort of counter china and now india is also jumping in on the action, sending a task force, a for war ships to the south china sea, as part of

a 2 month deployment. that will include exercises with the us, japan, and australia. india's task force of ships includes a guided missile destroyer guided missile frigate and an anti submarine. what's called corvette ships will also work and bilateral exercises with naval units, from singapore, vietnam, indonesia, and the philippines. all this is us, vice president, commonly harris is scheduled to take her 1st trip to vietnam and singapore in 2 weeks time, a trip aimed at rally international support to counter china's increasing global influence and power and power that according to the white house, we're also looking at the deadly wave shootings here in america, the summer is the murder rate continues to climb nationally in new york city. 10 people were wounded when 2 gun mentioned there followed by 2 accomplices on motor scooters. open fire outside a restaurant in queens. well, that shooting, but just want to several in the 5 boroughs over the course of a weekend in which 18 people were wounded. 3 killed by gunfire, just one of the cities dealing with increasing violence in portland,
