on the use approval list of brussels recently agreed to accept a covert job certificate issued by san marino and vatican city. but only the just given the green light to the passes allow free movement between those 2 non you states on the block. however, with the splitting vaccine still more given approval, we had a chance to speak with the tiny nations health minister our green pass a recognize this from you. but it's only for the people the summary know about you, naked by pfizer. so the people and it is 94 percent of our population that's would be seen that as the problem to move into italy and surveys are equally bar or restaurant or we're seeing him. ok. and the order closed space close space. so

we are now working with the italian government to, to find a solution to this problem. the use of sputnik v and san marino has shown it does have an efficacy rate of more than 91 percent. 2 percent of those who got the job stuff, the side effects with less than half and people over 60 the health minutes. the added that are all those jobs with support, nick and san marino have developed antibodies against cove it. we did some strategies about the ccsp of the sporting vaccine. we have some day, some data guarantee of the at the cmc we are closer to a 100 percent offer cclc, see it and so all our people develop the antibodies and which is splitting

be maxine ation plus the one week from the start of the 2nd. those is what maybe we start to do to, to free our ospital in our accounts and, and now we have people in, in, in the roof because some are called it's just a unreal pictures to show you here from turkey to the united states and russia to italy, devastating wildfires a rage and all throughout part of the world increased this week. at least 2 people were killed in surging blazes. i

many people were forced to leave their homes just outside the great capital. mass evacuations are being carried out also on the nearby island of every 100 people fleeing the inferno via any mix of both available on friday, the nation said it was struggling to contain more than 150 wildfires come in, it's a warm that a heat way had turned grease into a holiday well described as the worst in decades. enormous plays is causing havoc in turkey as well. at least 8 people have been killed and around. $10000.00

evacuated amid extreme wildfires, burning all up and down the coastline. a popular tourist destinations like both the room matters, have all been hit one local describe the scene. there is a raining ash on saturday. heavy rains brought at least some relief to some scattered parts of the country. well, meanwhile, there were some surreal scenes in california. this week, one town in plumas county looked like an apocalyptic hollywood movie. append to dr . agitation and strong winds that the dixie fire has been named ripped through greenville. the remains of homes on the back and cause totally burnt out, or comments fight and buildings from the gold rush era with totally destroyed. so was a school the hotel, the church, and a museum. but it's not just those countries rushers, siberia as well. being hit hard by enormous wildfires. here a large scale evacuations of villages in effect firefighters on the front line against these inferno as

a while in the russian republic of your cute here fires blanketed large areas. and i, chris so it was this week, a computer engineer is currently serving a year prison sentence in america for hacking a hospital. we will giving this special coverage this week here on tape a marketing dolphins failed, says he did that to draw attention to a custody battle between a hospital and the parents of a child being kept that against their consent. mr. gordon, spell reasonably tied to us after he was denied a telephone access to his lawyers when he was in prison. me. mr. go to sales wife claims communication with his lawyer was cut off shortly after he wrote an article that was published on our website. and the piece he described cases of mistreatment at the prison. he's in authorities to say his lack of phone access to almost treatment was simply down to changes in their cobra. policies with the activists wife says that's not good enough. they read all his mail. so they had

a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't it's legal privilege mail, but i guess i guess they were aware he has multiple attorneys who are trying to get in touch with him for meetings about strategic matters. he answered an appeal and other ledger and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine sir, felt his that bureaus prison lawyer. and it's telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines, where she's not applying that requirement to any of the other. it's because of the various officials and leading rights organizations for that. take on mr. got a sales case of the european court of human rights and human rights watch of both said they con, comment. but just for a moment here on the program, let's take a look back at how this entire situation unfolded.

ah, please let me know right now i needed my family in. she has been totally medical use . finally with common sense prevail. who's i just don't know how it's really happening. it doesn't feel like it's real a feel. so good news,

the we talked with j a political analyst, patrick jennings, and but also byron brown. he himself, a journalist who was imprisoned in connection also with a data link. marty himself over throughout the entire he was imprisonment, has been retaliated against 4 other articles. he's written or lawsuits, he has filed against a system against the visual wardens and so forth. having done for years and said myself, there are prison the us for my activism and having written,

calling from prison. i've been in prisons where there wasn't a while over. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what was going to interview the interview and been put in the shoe for doing that or view and then release of your investigation. you know, 2 weeks later, i was re arrested the orders in 2017 for getting interview advice after i got out of prison. no one has been involved in activism. should be tried in the us, nor gosh, where there is it just did that. the record of the us saw it on this is just a mentally vile. the harm should be proportionate to the sentence, not the potential harm. and increasingly, what we see, certainly in the us justice system, is this kind of trend of symbolic convictions and symbolic sentences, whereby the politicization of the justice system and the what used to be due process is become increasingly politicized. and i think we can see that in so many

different cases, especially with the area of cyber crime or hacking, it seems that and i think maybe this just really speaks to the ability of hackers or hack davis to threaten the power structure which has become increasingly dependent on digital networks, we only have to look really at the julian assigned case as, as the sort of top level. sort of case in this area. he is absolutely a political prisoner and it's not so much about what he did. it's about what he represents and the ability of an organization to get around the powers of the state. me want to speak is that at a stop warning from the united nations, it's special envoy for afghanistan, says the country it's ascending into

a situation of catastrophe. so serious, it would have a few parallels this century. meanwhile, the u. s. and the u. k. are urging all that citizen is just to get out of afghanistan at the latest taliban offensive, and the country sees the terror group making sweeping territorial gains. in fact, after a series of rapid advances in rural areas, in the last weeks, the insurgents are now targeting the big cities we're talking about couple and couldn't do it right here. can do, does not become the 3rd provincial capital seized in the last 3 days. without le bon has taken the governor's office and the police headquarters with battles still ongoing in various parts of the city. according to reports, at least 14 people were killed, including women and children. 30 others injured. there are scenes of just destruction and conduce with buildings in ruin or a black. well, in the meantime, at least $700.00 former taliban fighters of actually being released off the group

captured another regional capital right here. this is cheryl gunn right here in the central northwestern part of the country. this is despite bombers us heavy bombers being sent to the country to strike at various taliban potential positions along the northern border of afghanistan. here is heavy fight even between security forces on the taliban and another northern african province of the coon, our province here in the north, northeast and left around 50000 people in the region displaced in just the last 60 days. dozens of families from coon are found shelter and a local school. a women and children are making do and pretty cramped classrooms and tough living conditions. we spoke to them about the situation. one girl that has no husband, we had a good life in our village. we had everything due to the fighting between security forces and the taliban. everything has been destroyed. the bottom line off, isn't the taliban detect our area? and we had to flee a village. we saved only ourselves without any belongings or clothes. now we are

living in this school building. again, this is young initiative taliban loc, texas, all village around to mom and was heavy fighting with letter homes due to the fight in and out of hunger after working for tonight we arrived here. we spent the 1st night in a talk, then we came to the school. here we are facing problems. meanwhile, the capital right here is also in the taliban site. so the number of tax targeting key government figures. in fact, kabul interesting, the funeral of the countries media chief, he was sadly shot during a raid on friday. as folks posted for the tara group as it had punished him for his quote b training. it had sent a special unit to conduct the assassination killing. came days officer, another positive taliban assault on the afghan defense ministers home again in cobble. and we got the latest on the situation that a spiraling situation across the various regions of the country, from local reporter, for

a long thought of wanting the fall of condos city where the taliban have been able to take control of most of the city as well. as government buildings come in, quick succession, the city of palo plan, which is the capital of our province, just next door, also fell to the taliban. and what we are also hearing from one officials in a place like condos in the hot. there are also strikes by the americans, as well as by the african government. the cause of this war for ordinary ones, for businesses, is simply too much. we also heard from the tall about issuing a statement in the city of telephone, instructing its fighters not to take revenge, not to torture, a new one, and not to go to people's homes. telecom is a city which was the home or former normalized leaders and commanders who fought against the taliban in the 1990 s. these are also provinces that have provided in

the soldiers to the african national security forces. but the worry of ordinary ones, even in a place like cobble, is quite clear. john of the americans made a bad decision because the left abruptly and paved the way for the taliban to launch an immediate attack. the taliban don't differentiate between the government and public property and infrastructure. they burn it down. in the current situation, the withdrawal of americans is pretty very costly for us guns. the fighting has gained the property. it spread with high intensity across all of our gas stem. i'm going to school at one time when the americans came to afghan histone, they came to defeat terrorism for 20 years, have passed, and the americans haven't defeat to terrorism. instead, terrorism has strengthened regional and global terrorism was turned of canis down into a hub of terror. the people of afghanistan being looted and mercilessly kills and public infrastructure is being destroyed. now you're seeing people standing up to

the taliban is some areas. these are former normalized leaders and commanders not necessarily only in north and other parts as well. that gets mile hahn is fighting against them. now, 4 weeks actually in the city of odd, as well as the african government and then the americans are carrying these strikes . but it is important to point out the urban attacks are becoming more and more regular for the taliban off about a report and discussion with a local correspondent bill outside of wadi. i also spoke with anti will activist kennestone. the americans are continuing their bombing in order to try and halt the taliban in advance, but it's not working. and they're trying to prop up their government in kabul. such that the taliban might find it useful and important to make a coalition. ready government with them, the important thing to remember is that for the, from the point of view of the entire world is that the reach of the u. s. empire is

shrinking. so now the u. s. empire has failed in trying to subdue afghanistan, and they couldn't, couldn't continue its illegal occupation because it was unpopular from the very start with the afghan. he's and it was a violation of international law. i'd on the way filling the program on asi, international accusations of german police brutality. i protest have seen the un special repertoire on torture state. there are grounds for an intervention that the rest of the top stories of the day, and also the weekly configured minimum. ah, i join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world,

the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me ah ah ah ah ah, i will. i the, the, the,

the ah, sorry 10, 20 pm sunday evening here and most good. this is the weekly, the un special repertoire on torture says there are grounds for an official intervention against police in berlin. and follows numerous accusations of brutality against those recently protesting the typing of covert restrictions. a disturbing footage has emerged from last sunday's demonstration. the young man's images of an officer throwing at elderly women to the ground where desirable berlin police confirmed an investigation into suspecting bodily harm. as being opened, but the head of the german police union told us a criticism and pressure exerted on the officers might be unfair to get ahold of a sort of money. i am sure that my colleagues after that accordance with the law.

in addition, more than 60 police officers were injured, they clearly did not stumble but suffered during the protests, which by the way, were fast and peaceful because they violated public order. since they were banned, the police are the center of criticism and such deployments. that's something we're used to society is becoming ever more polarized politics that cultivate anything but peaceful conversation have come tribute to that. and the police done right between irreconcilable fronts that are no longer ready to engage in dialogue and all that doesn't make up police work any easier. i don't have any other opinions about this colleague say they have been under pressure and these events a lot of colleagues have been injured and that doesn't make the situation easier. we'd like to see politics being used to calm people down on all sides. around 5000 people took part in protest in berlin last weekend with more than 600 arrested. officers use patterns and pepper spray against them. and one german lawyer we full to believe the use of force was grossly disproportionate. that's what we've seen in

this video with quite shocking, at least to me, that if you assess it from a legal perspective, you'd ask yourself if there was a threat. but from what it looked, it's just an elderly lady trying to pass by the policeman. i don't think it was an extremely tense situation which justify the police of the throwing the lady to the ground like that. if you look at the standard legal definition of a threat, it just didn't look like one of the policemen wasn't being attacked. and there was no gross disturbance of the peace and public security that lady just did to pass by . from a legal perspective, the officers conduct disproportionate freedom of assembly. the constitutional rights can be restricted. for instance, in a pandemic like the one we're seeing there may be restrictions, but there shouldn't be a difference where the people have notified of their rally beforehand or not. they should be able together spontaneously to avoid that pietro and on own, in the open. it citizens shouldn't be in fear of being subjected to this kind of treatment. when going to protest talking here,

it was right there on the weekly onasia international in a, in a huge show of people power. a quarter of a 1000000 protesters took the streets of paris and all across france on saturday to vent their anger. plans for mandatory covered health passes. it is the 4th weekend in a row such demonstrations have been staged. numerous trade unions, including medical groupings, have been rallying their members against the controversial covert passports. earlier in the week, people in the french capital made that feeling clear off of the country's constitutional council rules that governments move was legal. we go to move in path, but as long as it is wrong today, we're not talking about deprivation of social right. this is going about an attempt on human rights. we're forced to vaccinate. this is real to tele. terry news. there's other button, the coven health divided the french people into to cancer going vaccinated and

unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the software dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pass introduce will have from next week, people in france will have to show a covert passport to enter restaurants, cafes, even hospitals, while health workers face mandatory injections by next month, seemingly perpetual series of furious rallies over the pressure to vaccinate and pandemic restrictions to so seems like this and late july the need to be, even before the mandate, your vaccination was introduced, there had been more than 10000 lay offs in french hospitals. but can the local health care system afford to lose all these employees?

many people now say that they want to leave their work and not only in hospitals. if you have a closer look at what's happening now, you'll see that some specialists refused to comply with the vaccination order and say whatever of my job, i choose to work as an independent specialist. so stopped working on the us recently hit his self imposed debt ceiling, but that's certainly not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package with a trillion dollars. the senate has even silenced debate on the legislation. on top of the democrats, the feeling bullish enough to walk for another spending package worth 3 and a half trillion. it all ultimately require having to increase that, that feeling and republicans are having none of it. if they don't get more of a say on how the money is spent, if they don't need on our input when we had our help with the deadline that increase that recklessly as he is reckless planned for will require.

while the debt ceiling limits the amount the u. s. government can oh, it was reinstated last week after a 2 year suspension. it was automatically recalibrated to equal the current debt level, forcing the treasury to cough up for government bills. but analysts say this will buy at most a couple of months before before congress will have to agree to raise or suspend the ceiling. failure to do that, could cause the us to default on its loans. of course, that's highly unlikely. and i discussed all of this just a short time ago with max kaiser b. u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme that need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme going, if you take the contacts and you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global that the g d p is over 300 percent and the ability to pay back any of these loans is virtually darrow,

you can understand why. now the debt in the u. s. is going to start to become hyperbolic. and this is having an interesting corollary. and that is causing a real inflation because all that money printing attempting to tamp down the debt is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price of living is going up per separate this way. and this is causing a real, causing a real damage in america right now. i think they're going to get to the point where they're going to eliminate the idea of a stealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited and encumbered money, printing, and debt creation. you can't stop upon the game. there's only one way to this ends, and that is through a massive default. and because the us doesn't want to experience that there are simply going to print to infinity. so the us, the us dollar becomes like that as well and all of our or other hyper inflationary currencies. and that's what we're looking at right now in the u. s. and other

countries, do you think any other countries around the world are starting to scale back from the usage of the dollar? you just have to look at the usage of the dollar global. and you notice that in the last 20 years has come down every year, every 2 years has come down. russia as you point out, as completely out of the us dollar and assess them up to be in an interesting situation. as you see more of cooperation with china, russia, iraq, they don't want to be involved in the dollar because the us weaponized the dollar by sanctioning by interfering and swift, the global money transfer mechanism. and by playing politics and by getting in the way. so these countries that you know what we need our own system, so they're creating their own system. we're going to check out many additions of the keyser report at your leisure at our office youtube channel for the meantime. that's wrapping up the weekly for this half hour, the plenty more stories still to come with a top of the hour. if you can join us that the

the know what we would use with that. and i knew him by the in the can can hard while we're on by now i was and i know i should know mama and i've been age leo, call me on the search bar on my heels like football on them now. you know, but i do need an initiation national but from the local community

i bit off more. lot of the solar is.
