the ah, israel shells lebanon in response to rocket fire, but there's disagreement over the group behind the original attack. you now accept digital cove, in 1900 certificates from the san marino, where most of the population is not collated with the same russian job still awaken approval from the blocks. medicines agency to cover up or not debate rages over how effective wearing a medical mosque is in controlling the spread of corona virus. sweden drop the requirement before recording 0 due koby cases. while the us says it's still crucial to where our panel discusses the conflicting advice they told us to wear the mask, and then we will have locked downs. and now we're doing locked downs. it's one of the risk reduction nature. we need several help. the think the to have or
9:01 am
the other, wherever you're watching this wednesday, i'm calling brain moscow right now for in the afternoon. here's your world update. israel has opened and i'll tend to re fi, again to neighbor and lebanon in retaliation for a rocket attack, which occurred amid escalating tensions in the region. in recent days, sirens have been blaring along the israel's northern border lebanon with the latest his correspondent policy here. these railey army right now is finding shells at the area of the labor. no. now this follows an early attack from the liberties side into is all there was 3 walker that were fired at israel. one was intercepted by these 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
9:02 am
there was an indication that they could possibly be such an attack, particularly focused on the northern israeli town of tbr morning, which is home to some 20000 people and they all siren sounding in the area. and the situation. there isn't a high alert in what's happening on the neighbor. nice little military. you can see it is not giving us any more information at this time, but it has said that he's lady 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 his villa is responsible for this, but they bought it believe that it is palestinian group operating inside lebanon. having said that, it's highly unlikely that palestinian good wood fire rocket is well without the permission of kids. so this is a situation that we will continue to monitor throughout the course of the day. of the shelling comes on a grim anniversary from level, and it's exactly one years since the devastating chemical bluffton, the capital,
9:03 am
which claim the lives of more than $200.00 people believe to be one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history. warning that you might find the following video, disturbing the ash that's getting to the bottom of it. human rights group, amnesty international has condemned lebanese officials for quote, shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into the bluff. i'm one of lebanon's oldest hospitals was devastated by the explosion as well. as so you can see that one nurse died while the baby was born, the very minutes of the blast on that were year on and the child's reported to be doing well. we spoke to a nurse on the maternity unit there on that fateful day. she told us the panic was not an option because there was simply too much to do. and then i was funding my mother about my day and i do remember my
9:04 am
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 say that i supposed to be the one to be where are they if they are okay? so this is what they would up and see where they would and take them inside there. we just went to bed. 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 giving me breathing and they did that. and they had to keep going and fun to be able to. i happened to babies the computer in the go,
9:05 am
they doing very well that way. 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 train. so are they doing very well and as i think he has good air, isn't it? well, repair work is still ongoing. in the port city, but lebanon's economy is facing huge challenges right now from a plummeting currency to power outages, as well as medicine and fuel shortages. because of this, most of the reconstruction works being funded privately or by non governmental organizations. of the owner of one damaged, historic property told us that they've been let down by all sides to the last 3 and my house is a heritage building, but we didn't get any help from unesco or anyone else. 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 them. i've witness many was i was born in 1944,
9:06 am
but i've never seen the situation so bad. everyone keeps saying we've never seen such a crime and 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 asthma, the last few days with 0 new covey cases, and no more than one death per day over the last 3 weeks. now, despite the country dropping the mandatory wearing of masks since july, the 1st while fears grow about the new, highly contagious delta vary, sweden's chief epidemiologist argues that more date 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 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
9:07 am
person does not affect anyone at all over europe in countries in the us. so still pretty skeptical about that approach that maintaining restrictions due to the surge . all that delta vary and last week american centers for disease control and prevention was that there's an urgent need for both those unvaccinated and vaccinated to continue wearing masks, our guests debated the conflicting global 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 century 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 back soon as we 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
9:08 am
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 enter mosque when you should be wearing a mask and when there's a chance to actually infect somebody else, we need to present powerful images and 2 voices of doors. we need to protect the loved ones, the bone, their bowls, and the message should be boxing and protect others. what has happened with the viruses? it's already gone to the community. and those people who survives, 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 keeps social decency and the old to do the percentage risk question is
9:09 am
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 abused to be long separate development. the e u has recognised kovak k. the vaccination certificates issued by sam marino, a tiny europe in state where the majority of those inoculated have received rushes . sputnik v means that citizens job, they can travel freely in the you that digital health policies will be equally valid as those pfizer madana. well, the other jobs approved by the use medical regulator. sputnik v though has not yet been cleared and people are not lated in. for example, russia can't travel to the you without a negative p. c l test summary. no legally important. sputnik because of course it's not an e u member. now to unravel this tunnel quarter joined suskin taylor to explain this latest development. well, what it does mean basically,
9:10 am
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. busy people who have been vaccinated with sport 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's 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,
9:11 am
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 hits that? does that mean? is it because russia sending higher quality sputnik 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 so it seems like that you want to get the protection offered by the student, the vaccine where it can, while at the same time, curbing its larger acceptance throughout the continent. i mean, the european medicines agency has been dragging its feet on, like, you know, validating the support of the shot or not validating it for months now. and in the meantime, over $65.00 countries around the world have already given the russian shot the green light, including some european countries that just didn't want to wait for brussels approval. that includes hungry and slovakia, including san marino. and people for you know,
9:12 am
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 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. we got a reaction from an m p, from germany's the left party who believes the lobbying forces in the european medicines. agencies simply don't want anything good for russian business. some marino is not in the european union, and russia is also not in the european union. and the vaccination is the same, so it's totally confusing. they don't want any good business or russia. i think it's, it's a real, it's
9:13 am
a certain farm is certain kind of an economical why i don't believe so much when they say we want to save human life and that's all whatever from san 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. ready 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? while europe wrangles with the coded health powers roll out american pharmaceutical giants, pfizer and maternity,
9:14 am
those vaccines are approved by the european commission, reportedly taking a controversial step by hiking the prices for coping vaccines in the u. britain's financial times, newspaper reports that shot him, a den as vaccine is to rise to about $21.00 euros to 12 percent increase. well, 5, this is planned to go up to 19 euros hikers about 25 percent over the counter price . and now the fight is raising its vaccines, earning forecast for the year. $8000000000.00 to $33.00 and a half 1000000000. i company also plans to supply half a 1000000 doses to the u. s. government so that it can dispense them to some of the world's poorest countries in florida and the commission yet to comment 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 on political analysts. nicholas markovich says the price hikes left a baffled because in his opinion goes against all usual business practices. how bizarre is this word in this situation today with countries like france, germany,
9:15 am
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 the 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. on the way this our and eco save you for getting a virus or a minute to city pedestrians electric scooters of dividing opinion for any being
9:16 am
convenient and false, but also potentially dangerous. we help our board to find out among our stories after the break ah, driven by drainage shaped by those with fish in me. i think we dare to ask me. ah
9:17 am
ah me. the developments in the gulf next oil tank is seized off the coast of the united arab emirates is now reported to be out of danger. the u. k. maritime authority says the hijackers have left the vessel. the distress call came in on tuesday after 8 or 9 on the salem sported the tanka so far this still no information on the identities
9:18 am
or motives of the perpetrators around the same time. another full tank is in the area, send out a warning saying that they were not under command, a co generally indicating that a ship is unable to maneuver due to exceptional circumstances. the incident comes just days after a deadly drone strike on his railing to vessel in the area with the british authorities quick to lay the blame on iran. now, following the latest incident on tuesday, the british media also speculated said iran could be involved citing an unnamed security source. all that despite no evidence being presented as yet to iran, for its part, dismissed the allegations as propaganda. and lost our international affairs commentator jonathan steele. told me that it's too early to jump to conclusions. well, they just like the front line between iran and the states supported by the rest are very suspicious wrong in this case of homer's around the nor and since or tank. because of often been years to started as a food seizing and stopping,
9:19 am
searching for some kind of attack. and then just hydrogen thing. we need to know who these people really, really need to get some information, perhaps from the crew of the ship itself. today, they must be in contact with the hijackers and the crew, the captain of the ship, where they had to be speech and fussy, where they still are big, what language were speaking to each other. we need to know a lot of fact until we get more information about how the western government, sort of it cheers iran. got the evidence and what the evidence is, it's hard to know how strongly agree is that modern, popular, and eco friendly. we're talking about those electric scooters getting ever more popular and faster. they're great way to get around, but in the wrong hands or face for the big enough pothole. they might not be that safe, not for the rider or for anyone in their way. more and more accidents are being reported. so we took a test drive through 2 very busy cities. foss, convenient and environmentally friendly. e scooters massively growing in popularity
9:20 am
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 the virtual means of transfer it, it's also become an all time favorite among all kinds of delivery companies. these good or if i available for rand for a number of different smartphone apps and can be found pretty much on every street corner. yes, everyone is so keen on the british government, his band excuses from public roads saying they can only be used on private land. it
9:21 am
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 and excuse her, on private land, but the permission of the landowner from specific companies on the road. this part protective measures up 220-0000 accidents involving excuses are protected by the end of this year. 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. well, understand the question of a, you know, people that have actually had to go to school because it's so far at the dr. my so, but the thing that really dangerous it depends on the news it clued up. nothing there cause 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,
9:22 am
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. but luckily there wasn't another call. we could have been a faithful accident. yes. as the number of people whizzing around moscow, parks and pavements grows. 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 he's scooters operate in a legal gray area. and it's true, according to the current legislation, a person on an he's 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 each coders are fun,
9:23 am
but moscow is not well suited to their mother a few places i can write safely. there are fish and cycling and pretty narrow side walk the most i can see to the east to be a mood of draws for this and is quite dangerous to the near the people who don't have driving like just don't lie with track the calls which can result in accident, local infrastructure is not thought through the dispute. there are no specials, but there are lots of inconsistency is okay to write on the side or should you cycling should be regulated legislative level. the infrastructure should definitely be modified to suit the traffic lights and special things create the metropolitan police. a concerned about the use of east goose's in crimes. with the forces figures saying that east goose's were involved in 574 recorded crimes in london. such as robberies or salt, between the 1st of july 2020 and the 30th of april 2021. the hub. that's the reason
9:24 am
why rental services such as this one require you to provide you a 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 use the bar as 5 to 6. take them out. i think the 1st thing they need to think about is safety. i personally think it's necessary. i mean it's obviously like you said, there's a crime. surely there has cctv and all the information that i think you need to scan 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 information about that person, it would be quite easy to, to, to get the people to make minutes with regards to the schools.
9:25 am
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 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. okay, some other headline news for you. 3 people have been killed in a rush hour train crash in the czech republic, around a 150 kilometers west of the capitol. police say that more than 50 others have been injured. 8 people are in a critical condition. check right away says one of the trains was an international high speed service to germany, the other a local commuter train. initial report suggest the crash happened because one of the drivers missed a red light and update on those flyers raging across southern europe in greece. a

major highway lincoln, athens for the north and south of the country is being cut off the nation sweltering for its worth a wave in 30 years. with the weather service wanting, the temperatures could hit 44 degrees celsius this week. more than $505.00 fighters have reportedly been deployed so far and in kiev been an identified man, threatened to detonate a hand grenade at the entrance of the building that houses the ukrainian cabinet. the facilities been evacuated in special forces have responded to the alarm. the suspects now been detained his motives, though not yet. no. okay, that is your news for now. going underground. next reflects on institutional ration racism in britain. exactly 10 years after those sporadic riots broke out in cities around england in the wake of a police killing of a man in london. it's next on anti ah,

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. but what about the republican party leadership? are they on board? and does trump have a message that would return him to 1600 pennsylvania avenue? when i would show the wrong one, i just don't i mean, you rule out the same because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we

country where black people are still 18 times more likely to be stopped by police all the more coming up in today's special edition of going underground. but 1st, it's been 10 years since british man mark doug and was killed in police custody, which spot the largest nationwide rides in the u. k. scene in 30 years now a decade later, u. k prime minister bars johnson has proposed a new plan to tackle crime in the country where black people are statistically more likely to be arrested. join me now from lester is and be the last race in the form . a chair of the met police is operation, tried and independent advisory group put a web course. thanks so much for coming on. accompany me. it's 10 years obviously. i mean, how have police powers changed during those 10 years? we now have official reports saying the metropolitan believes scotland yard here is a, institutionally not only racist, but the institutionally corrupt. well, you know, you know, i've been 10 years and mom should be alive today. he,
9:30 am
that hundreds of feel like in the u. k. i think sadly, 10 years on from that to little progress has been made to end up being racial and ethnic inequality in criminal justice. i mean some of the vacation and in the u. k. need demonstrates why black lives matter important. and why don't newsman been so necessary? life has been, have been systematically undervalued for too long. and suddenly 10 years on that we need to strengthen our we so to end to be just going to the day. so now really is to come to end to be class ration.
