a ah hello there. wednesday evening at 6 here in moscow. i'm calling bray with the world news from the international stuffing with israel. that's open auxiliary fire against neighboring lebanon in retaliation for nearly a rocket attack. it occurred to me an escalating tensions in the region in recent days, sirens have been blaring along israel. northern border with lebanon, with the latest his middle east correspondent pulled a slip. these really ami wife now is firing shells at the area of the labor. now now this follows an earlier attack from the liberty side, into israel. they were 3 rocket that were fired at israel. one was intercepted by the israeli, i'm done. 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 northern israeli town up to be a morning, which is home to some 20000 people. and they also went 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. you can think it is not giving us anymore information at this time, but it has said that he's lady shells landed between beneath villages. now they have been similar incidents in recent months from the lady side. they say that they don't believe kids below is what's possible for us, but that they bought it believe that it is palestinian groups operating inside lebanon. having said that, it's highly unlikely that palestinian boots would fire opposite as well, without the permission of his fellow josie. this is a situation that we will continue to monitor throughout the course of the day. the shelling comes on grim anniversary for lebanon. it's exactly one years since the

devastating chemical blast and the capital which claim the lives of more than $200.00 people believe to be one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history. now warning that you might find the following video upsetting the yes, human rights group and the international, his condemn, lebanese officials, the quote, shaming shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into that blast. one of lebanon's oldest hospitals was devastated by the explosion as well. as you can see here, there one nurse died while the baby was born. the very minute of that blast. now a year on the child reported to be doing well. we spoke to a nurse on the maternity unit 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 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 had what have happened. so i, when i try to move 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 the baby see where they would and take them inside there. we just went to bed. i had gone because i had some sideways. i could, i could not go into panic mode. i had to take the baby baby were giving me breathing and they read that and they had to keep going and things to be able to be baby. i happened to babies in the go they doing

very well. they go away and i'm in contact with the parents every day and me pick through it and they send me everything they, how they, how they feed, how they are they doing very well. and as i think it's good to hear, isn't it? well, repair work is still ongoing in the poor city. lebanon's economy is facing huge challenges still 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, though by non governmental organizations. 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 at all. they've given us nothing but faith promises them all. 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 in so much damage. if there was a war, it would have 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 as mark last few days with 0 new coded cases and and also no more than one death per day over the last 3 weeks. and that's despite the country dropping the mandatory wearing masks since july. the 1st i will fears grow about the new, highly contagious delta vary and sweden's chief epidemiologist argues the more date is needed before they can 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 we're an infected person does not affect anyone at all. or other european countries on the united states are still skeptical

about that approach and then maintaining restrictions due to the surge of the delta strain. last week, america's centers for disease control and prevention was that there's an urgent need for both foes unvaccinated, unvaccinated to still wear masks or guests debated. the conflicting global guidelines tweeted didn't do any mask ban 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 probably by 20 percent since she and even a one find for 2 industry. in fact, yes it, 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 and get off the mast while we ever got vaccinated and we're still wearing a mask. so i'm not really sure 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 francis tremendous protests. so, you know, we got to bring the people on because it's all about public health. it's selfish or not where mosque when you should be wearing a mask and 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 loved ones, the bone, their bowls, and the message should be focusing on others. what has happened 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 to several help protective behaviors wash our hands, wear mask, keeps social distancing, and they all would use the percentage risk question is,

how could be persuade people who now see mosque wearing as a political choice. the single biggest influence across all reasons. for wearing a face mask abused to be the long use, recognised coven vaccination certificates issued by san marino. any european state where the vast majority of cult rushes. sputnik free shot. it means that inoculated citizens that can travel freely within the blog that digital health passes are equally valid as those pfizer madana or other jobs approved by the use medical regulator. sputnik vivo has not yet been clears, and people inoculated in, for example, russia comp travel to the without a negative p. c o l test summary, and also stress that europe green light to them doesn't automatically mean the same for sputnik. 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 recognized 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. the repair medicines agency launched a rolling review of sputnik v and march, but so far, no approval of despite the russian job being already authorized in $69.00 countries worldwide. even e u states hungry in slovakia have started using sputnik v without waiting for brussels approval. a german mt told us the european leaders and lobbyists are putting business above people's lives. some 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, a certain kind of an economical war. i don't believe so much when they say we want to save human lives 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 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 you're wrangles with the cobra,

how pass roll out american pharmaceutical giants, pfizer, medina, whose vaccines are approved by the european commission, reportedly taking a controversial step by hiking the prices because vaccines in the u. britain's financial times, newspaper reports that a shot of madonna's vaccine is about to rise to about $21.00 euros. that's a 12 percent increase. will fight as this plan to go up to about 19 euros. a height of 25 percent on the current price. and now phase is also raising its vaccine earnings forecast for the year. $8000000000.00 to $33.00 and a half 1000000. a company also plans to supply half a 1000000 doses to the us government so that it can dispense them to some of the world's poorest countries. pfizer and the e. u 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. european political analytical, markovich says the price hikes left him baffled because in his opinion, it goes against all usual business practices. how bizarre as this were in

a situation today with countries like france, germany, italy, are thinking about making vaccination mandatory. so we should be ordering even more vaccines. and 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 to 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 your opinion and the company 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 as fisher 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 active social lives about to become a major challenge for unvaccinated new yorkers. because the city's mass introducing

new rules banning them for public activities indoors in an effort to boost inoculations. submit a search in cases kellum open had the streets to see how that's going down with locals. new york city mayor build diblasio as announcing a new strategy for getting people vaccinated for coven. 19 starting in mid august, endured dining and restaurants, and working out in gems will be exclusively for those who been inoculated. this is going to be a requirement. the only way to patronize these establishment indoors will be if you're vaccinate at least one dose. i want you to imagine the notion that because someone's faxing, they can do all the amazing things that are available in the city starting in mid august in order to go work out at the gym or in doors in a restaurant. you'll have to show that you've been vaccinated. now you'll do that either with an app on your phone or by showing your vaccination card. and beyond that, the new york city mayor didn't go into specifics about how this will be enforced at

this point. infection rates in new york city are rising and 59 percent of the population has been vaccinated already. here's what people on the streets of new york had to say about the new restriction. what the mayor and the governor doing is actually illegal because it violates the federal rule. people who get the vaccine they're showing that they can transmit anyway. a lot of people don't like it because the nubile but i think it would, it would, it would help us. i think it's a difficult decision that he has to make. but i do think that you're starting to create a divide and separation within, within the community. if he has to do it to protect a new york, it's of course it's a good idea. obviously it's a good idea. horrible for the economy. i would say i don't think it's more seats available. what exactly spad policy? you know, developing stories on the way, plus this, and eco, save you forgetting about sore a minute to pedestrians. electric scooters dividing

a pity in front of the be convenient and fast, but also potentially dangerous. we're going to hop on board and find out among our stories after the break. ah, i join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . ah. ah

ah, i use the ah, okay, next up turbulence in the gulf runs military spokesman said some west. the media outlets committing psychological warfare on behalf of israel. he made the comments while condemning reports that have claimed he was behind tuesday's hijacking of an old tanker off the coast of the united arab emirates. meanwhile, the tanker named the asphalt princess 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, off the 8 or 9 on the silence board. the tanker. so father, there's still no information on the identities, all motives of the perpetrators. following the incident on tuesday, some u. k. media outlets were quick to accuse around site, again, a name, security source, all that despite no evidence being presented so far. international affairs commentator jonathan steele told me though, that it's too early to jump to conclusions. just like the front line between iran and the states supported by the rest are very suspicious. and iran and as stated, homers enrolled in our and since or tank because of often been years just towards the seizing and stopping. searching was through some kind of clack. i'm in john, this is todd jackson thing. we need to know who these people are 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 women speaking i are big what language we're speaking to each other. we need to know a lot of facts until we get more information about how the western governments sort of it cheers to iran, got the evidence and what the evidence is. it's hard to know how strong girl is popular and eco friendly. we're talking about those electric scooters getting ever more popular and also a lot faster. they are a great way to get around, but in the wrong hands on face for the big enough pothole. they might not be that safe for the rider will. for anyone in that way, more or more accidents are being reported. so we took a test drive through 2 very busy cities, far convenient and environmentally friendly ee 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 individual means as 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 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 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. they're 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 that have 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 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 foot. play without any going 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. 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 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 few to, to them. it's rather a few places you can write safely. fission cycle lanes and pretty narrow side walk

the most i can see to the east. we do to be a mood of drawn for that and it's quite dangerous. if so, the near the people who don't have driving license don't lie with track the calls which can result in atlanta and local infrastructure is not thought through. scooted. there are no specials, but there are lots of inconsistency is 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 lights and special things. the metropolitan police are concerned about the use of excuses 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. 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 cards 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 there has cctv and also probation that i think you need to guide your face to use, but otherwise 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 card, debit card, something like this with a place because if you've got someone's pitch on you information about that person and be quite easy to, to, to get people to make in a minute with regards to the schools. 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. the spate of wildfire is left behind a trail of devastation in turkey, with the vast swathes of forest lantern to ashes. thousands of people have been evacuated to safety, and the e. u. russia. other nations have sent additional firefighting forces to help the number of deaths rose to 8th on sunday. as the bodies of a couple were found in that burned out home. the fire been fed by strong winds and high temperatures. more than a 100 blazes of erupt in about 30 provinces across turkey, and estimated at 100000 tact as of land of burned. other headline news, 3 people have been killed in a morning rush hour train crash in the czech republic. it happened around

a 150 kilometers west of the capital more than 50 of an injured 8. critically check railway says one of the trains was an international high speed service to germany, and the other was a local computer service. it's thought one of the drivers mr. red light. i think he ever not identified man struck the generator. hand grenade at the entrance of the building that houses the ukrainian cabinet. the facility was evacuated as special forces moved, and the suspect was eventually detained, but his motives are not yet known. that's how it looks for moscow so far this wednesday august. the 4th will be back to update you on, on developing stories and just have a half an hour. see then oh, i is your media a reflection of reality in

a world transformed what will make you feel safer? types, elation, community. are you getting the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah! the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. while you see in this, these techniques is the state devising, messes, to it 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. to have the victim say they still with the consequences today the the, the, the fridays off or been maybe close by the big to make. we'll get to it today. i'm having difficulty with my father ever. they called me frank brewer can all sort
