it was very poor, i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still will have the strongest appeal. the headlines this, our israel fires back up, the 3 rockets were fired towards its territory from lebanon. you now accept digital cove in 1900 certificates from san marino, where most of the population is pretty backdated with the putting the grievance in the same russian job that still waiting approval from the blocks medicines agency to cover up or not debate rages over how effective wearing a medical market and controlling the spread of corona virus, sweden dropped the requirement before recording 0 new cases. while the us says it's crucial to lab one now paneled discussions to conflicting advice. they told us to wear the mask and then we will have locked down to now we're doing lockdown. it's one of the recent reduction in nature. we need to several really helpful things

here. ok . hello. wherever you're watching at this hour, thanks for checking in with our t international. my name is colleen bray with the world news this our, the big story that we're across right now. israel has started shelling lebanon in response to 3 rockets that were fired towards its every tree in the last couple of hours, sirens, and now ringing out along the border with the ladies from television. his policy here. these really ami right now is finding shells at the area of the labor. no. now this follows an early attack on the liberty side into is all there was 3 walker that were fired at israel. one was intercepted by the radio system, one landed in an open area, and one landed in lebanon itself. there are no immediate supports of damage or injuries. on the waiting side. 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 they are all firing sounding in the area. and the situation. there isn't a state of higher lives in what's happening on the neighbor. nice little military. if you can think today, think it is not giving us any more information at this time. but it has said that he's lady shells landed between he needs villages. now they have been similar incidents in recent months from the lady side. they say that they don't believe his belief is responsible for this, but that they bought it believe that it is palestinian groups operating inside lebanon. having said that, it's highly unlikely that palestinian group would firewall cuz it is well without the permission of his beloved. so this is a situation that we will continue to monitor throughout the course of the day. and the shelling comes on grim anniversary celebrity and it's exactly one year since

that devastating chemical blast in bay room, which claimed the lives of more than $200.00 people is police have been one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history that you might find the next video of it upsetting to see again the dish human rights group. amnesty international is condemn, lebanese officials for quote, shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into the bluff. 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 to at that very minute. and now a year on the baby's reported to be doing well. we spoke to a nurse on the maternity unit that that fateful day. she told us the panic was not an option because they were simply too much to do. and then i was calling my mother 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 a great kid and didn't have an idea what has what has happened. so i, when i take my hands and i was able to, to cite actually i supposed to be the one to be where, where are they? they are okay. so this is what they would up and see where they would. and then we just went to bed. i had gone because i had the same way or i could, i could not go into panic mode. i had to be able to be giving me breathing and they with that. and they had to keep going and to be able to be i have the baby in the go,

they doing very well that way. and i'm in contact with the parents. every baby and me pick to it and they send me everything they do, how they play, how they feed the as good to hear, isn't it? well, most of the repair work though is still ongoing in the pool city. however, lebanon's economy is facing huge challenges, right? now from its plummeting currency to power outages, as well as medicine and fuel shortages. now, because of this, most of the reconstruction work has been funded privately owned by n jose, the owner of one damaged historic property and a root told us of his anguish. the situation be necessary and my house is 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 godson to us and recently won n g o. no one else. the government didn't help her to have given us nothing but 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 crime so much damage. if there was a war, it would've been easier. at least we could have had the option to escape. at 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 the 0 new covey cases, and no more than one death day over the last 3 weeks. despite the country dropping the mandatory wearing of masks on july. the 1st i'm off is grow about the new, highly contagious delta. very and sweden's chief epidemiologist argues that more data is needed before they move against new strains. it is difficult to say how contagious delta is 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 in the u. s. though was skeptical about that approach and maintaining restrictions due to the surge and the spread of that

delta strain. last week, america's centers for disease control and prevention warned that there's an urgent need for both those who are unvaccinated and vaccinated to wear masks. i'll guess 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 coping by 20 percent since she and even a $15.00 report 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 back soon as we get off the mast. 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 locked 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 francis tremendous protests. so, you know, we got to bring the people on cuz it's all about public health. it's selfish not to air mask when you should to be whatever i'm asking when there's a chance to actually infect somebody else. we need to present powerful images and the actual voices of doors. we need to protect the loved ones, the bone, their bowls, and the message should be focusing on protect others. what has happened with the viruses? 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 be persuade people who now see mosque wearing as

a belief choice. the single biggest influence across all reasons for wearing a face mask appear, even though you has recognised coded vaccination certificates issued by son marino . tony repeating state where the charity of those vaccinated have received rushes. sputnik vate remains the vaccinated citizens. they can travel freely within the e u, that digital health passes will be equally valid as those for 5 medina, all the other jobs that are approved by the us medical regulator. split itself though, has not yet been cleared and people are not related to in, for example, russia. com travel to the u without a negative p. c. test summary. know, could legally import the job because it course is not a member of the european union correspond to dunham quarter, joined saskia taylor 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 sputnik 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 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 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 spoofing. 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 has that?

does that mean? is it because russia sending higher quality sputnik v sharp 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 disputing 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,

we just also saw reports that the italian authorities are refusing these colbert, 1900 certificates to 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. we got reaction from an m p from germany's the left party who believes the lobbying forces within the european medicines. agencies simply don't want anything good for russian business. son, marino is not in the european union, and russia is also not in the union. and the vaccination is the same, so it's totally confusing. they don't want any good business for russia. i think it's, it's a real, it's a certain farm is certain kind of an economical war. i don't believe so much when they say we want to save human life and this is all whatever from

son marino i see it in the word of the manager of the clinic. i was watching a he said, nick, be saved our country. that's the words he said. and if this is an experience i can understand by spawn or mack who other people in the government did not send long long times before long time some months ago their scientists to must go to the institute and asked them, what is your experience. and while europe wrangles with the coven health past roll out american pharmaceutical giants, pfizer, i'm a dad whose vaccines are approved by the european commission, reportedly taking a controversial step by hiking their prices for coven vaccines in the u. britain's

financial times, newspaper reports that a shot had been done as vaccine is about to rise to $21.00 euros as a 12 percent increase of size as his plans go up to around 19 euros. that's a height of 25 percent over the current price. and now pfizer raising its vaccines, earning forecast for the year of $8000000000.00 to $33500000000.00. and that company also plans to supply 500000000 doses to the us so that it can disperse them to some of the world's poorest countries. pfizer than the commission, yet to comment on the jumping price. beyond the redacted contracts published by the european commission, the content remains confidential. and so we won't be commenting. political analytical markovich says the price tags left and baffled because in his opinion it goes against all usual business practice. how bizarre is this word in this situation today with 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 medina and pfizer are

increasing their prices were normally, if you are 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? where is it for these companies? that's the right question. go without any co savior, forgetting about or minutes to city pedestrians. those electric scoots of dividing opinion for not only being convenient and fast, but also potentially dangerous. we're going to hop on board to see which it is up to the break.

ah. when i was shot the wrong, why don't just don't the rule out the same because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, depart. we choose to look for common ground in the me

and i will the the developing store in the gulf. we've been keeping watch on this wednesday, an oil tanker seized off the coast of the united arab emirates is now reported to be out of danger. the u. k maritime authority says that the hijackers have now left the vessel. there's still no information on the identity or motives of the perpetrators, even so some of the west already blaming around which for its part denies any involvement condemning such accusations as a propaganda. let's get some thoughts on this. now. we've been talking for his journalist and international affairs commentator jonathan steele. welcome back to all t information. like i say remains a bit sketchy on this,

but from what you've read, who do you think was behind it? but it's impossible to say because until we get more information about how the western governments used iran evidence and what the evidence is, it's hard to know how strongly agree is what do you think countries are the u. s. u k. a so quick to blame around and all of this given how little is known about it or is it just stuff so we're not gonna be party to but i think it may be testing out the new president of iran who takes off his for me tomorrow is obviously a 100 liner and i think maybe the western governments are trying to say, if you're going to sort of escalate the between iran and the west, we can do the same on the side. so i think it may be more like a sort of political wanting shot costs about him or you see before he takes office tomorrow, tara said that the allegations of faces are an excuse to justify hostile action against it. how. how would you think it wrong? should be by anything like that?

well, there's been a shudder war going on between neurologist, particularly in the, in the mediterranean undergrad. see in the gulf for about 2 years. the wall street journal earlier this year in march revealed to this story to do at least 12 vessels. un investor has been targeted by israeli attacks since the end of 2019. and the iranians obviously entitled him to see their reason for retaliating, to some extent in kind. so there is a shudder warranty. so rather dangerous moment, it's not escalating into full local law. so we can relax a little bit because there is concern that the company that owns this tanka had one of the ships hijacked by around 2 years ago. does that lead any weight to the claims that it could have been around again? well it, it could be, but i mean, the random confirms that they detect is not attacked already taken over the ship 2 years ago because of alleged fuel smuggling. and they held it for 2 or 3 days and

then released it. they haven't confirmed it on this occasion. as you pointed out at the beginning, they've denied it. so there's no reason to see any parallels between the 2 systems . between the 2 incidents, hundreds iran ratings versus confirm it. with those very public suspicions being ad, do you think it could have a negative impact on the rounds of talks that had taken place to try and revive the iraq nuclear deal? when i get into health status in the disappointing thing has been the c 5 ministration has really continued to trumps policy on so many aspects of foreign u. s. foreign policy. and iran is one example. the maximum pressure of sanctions, very hard sanctions, which the trump people put on a student operation by dividing ministration. and these talks going very slowly to try and revise the j c p or the nuclear deal. so i think we need more flexibility

from bible people on this. we're going to just have a permanent cold war with their own. this is a constant, extremely dangerous stretch of water as well, isn't it has been for decades and those dangers come from many and varied places. to what extent do you think it just gets a bit to leverage by certain interested parties when these things? well, they just like the front line between iran and the states supported by the rest. and they're very suspicious the wrong and is scared of homers around the nor, and since or time, because of often been years to started as a fair seizing and stopping and searching the wall through some kind of attack. usually by mine's limpid minds, which commanders attached to the home ships. and in on this ledges hydrogen thing. we need to know who are these people around the world? we really need to get some information. perhaps the crew of the ship itself today, it must be in contact with jackson, the crew, the captain of the ship,

where they had to be speaking with speaking our big, what language were their speech into each other? we need to know little facts and to get them become visual and that's at the surface soon. ok for now, jonathan steel. thanks very much for joining us. ok. next the modern, popular, and their eco friendly. we're talking about those electric scooters that seem to be popping up more and more and getting them faster. in theory, they are a great way to get around the city. but it perhaps goes without saying that in the wrong hands or face to the big enough paul toll that they might not be that safe either for the rider or anyone in their way, more or more accidents are being reported. so we took a test drive through 2 very busy cities. fos, convenient and environmentally friendly, e scooters of 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 and the market of shareable electric scooter, this service has spread rapidly across the country with a number of users doubling. since the beginning of the pandemic, as more people are being encouraged to use and the visual means was transferred, it's also become an all time favorite among all kinds of delivery companies. these goodrich, i available for rand, for a number of different smartphone apps and can be found pretty much on average 3 corner yet not everyone is so keen on them, 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 and 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 the here. there are also concerns around the impact that you're 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 a sofa that's a driver. my so, but the thing that really dangerous it depends on what it is you know, nothing. they're quite the trouble for 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're just going so fast. and then i think the honda 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 parks and pavements growth. so does the number of accidents involving e scooters can 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 called flow zones, limiting the speed for rent, it actually scooters to 15 kilometers per hour down from 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. but clearly that's not enough. yeah, i think it's good or are fun. but moscow is not well suited to their mother. a few places 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 it's quite dangerous if so, the people who don't have driving license don't lie with tropicals, which can result in a local infrastructure is not thought through school. there are no special, but there are lots of inconsistency. is it okay to write on the side or should you cycling? they should be regulated a legislative level. the infrastructure should definitely be modified to suit the traffic light from special zones, create the metropolitan police concerned about the use of east goose's in crimes. with the forces figures saying that e scooters 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. the hub. that's 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 cards like they need the 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 there has to be an information that i think you need to guide your face to use it, but otherwise the school applies. you do that with the sod, send that, but maybe it's necessary to get a snapshot, i think will be better for public safety if the had some means of id like credit card, debit card, something like this over the place. because if you've got someone's pitch on your information about that person and be quite easy to, to, to get the people to make minutes with regards to the schools. many believe it's the task of police to regulate and control how people use the scooters. but in fact, it's more complicated and all sides should be involved. the rental companies, the transfer to the store,

it is 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. just briefly around the world, 3 people have been killed and rush hour crash this morning in the czech republic, around a 150 kilometers west of prague. police say that over 50 of been injured includes 8 who are in a critical condition. chuck railway says one of the trains was an international high speed service to germany. the other a local commute to train. initial report suggest the crash happened because one of the drivers, mr. red light and update on those fires raging across southern europe in greece. a major highway lincoln, athens to the north and south of the countries been cut off the nations reeling under the worst hate weight in 30 years with weather services warning, the temperatures could hit 44 celsius this week. well, the 505 fighters are reportedly been deployed so far and in key as no identifying

manish threatened to detonate a hand grenade at the entrance of the building that houses the ukrainian cabinet of the facilities been evacuated, special forces responded to the alarm and that suspect has now been detained without further incident. there still no word though, on his motives as just some of the stories that were across for you here at r t on call him right back with your next update and just have a half an hour. see the the world they are growing indications. donald trump will indeed make a 3rd run for the presidency in 2024. the former president remains the most favored potential primary candidate within the g o p. what about the republican party

leadership? are they on board and the storm have a message that would return him to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. i believe we need to look, i just was off the bus to can you through the news that actually use um she, she said to build me up with your school budget that i would have to continue with with a dinner. each famous from a crowded.
