[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, the state of emergencies declared as firefighters, volunteers battle wildfires that have raged for months. smoke and i ship coated huge areas and correspondence in the thick of it, firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this. and basically, the whole purpose of this is that the fire, as you can see, it's still burning there. it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. and please say the use of violence as part of germany is legal system in response to claims of using excessive force against protest is at a recent anti lockdown rally. people have rescued, bird 8 is still missing out for terrorist helicopter crushes into

a deep lake and rushes far east income shatka region. the search and rescue operation is hampered by thick fog in a very remote area. i'm putting on this to set by for julian sanchez. the u. s. wins the right to challenge. key evidence in is u. k. tradition case was applause. fiance gave an emotional play outside that london court room on june in life. threats 175 year sentence. threats against me. that's against our children. ah . it's 110 one most good time. good morning. you watching off international with me, kevin? oh, in the 1st the 12th of august, the latest coming up few, when we're talking about what's happening, the russian region of u. cootie, a 1st that region still struggling to deal with raging while fires and the

devastation that it's brought less behind. almost 5000 people are passing, the flames. 700 pieces of equipment have been deployed to. and as you heard, a state of emergency has been declared across a very vast region. with thick smoke has forced a number of airports to suspend flights as well. correspondent dmitri pokes, bring us back all the latest. and he is there, me who i. so we're still traveling for the village where we're expected to meet the firefighters that some of those we actually saw yesterday. but right now on the way, we couldn't help but stop at this. phoenix location is late covered in smoke, a red sky above it. and all we're looking all of this is a bunch of cows. some dogs, some people who live here, this is their life. and now it's all covered in smoke and we know how close the

fires have gotten to this place specifically, but firefighters. there's a bunch of equipment. there's a lot of volunteers. so i think these guys are safe and these cows and these dogs definitely to now we're going to head back on the road to the village, which is now under threat of fire in wondering what the raj, all these places look like. something like this, the lose the last step, which when you full of fire is the most difficult as it encompasses a large area. the minimalized area has been created there along the perimeter, and that area has now been dug up from the to there. so we just arrived at one of

the locations where the firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this is basically a whole purpose of this, is that the fire, if you can see it's still burning there, it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. also this area has obviously been burned off, which is one of the ways the stop the fires. you know that a fire is coming from the direction so they burn everything off. so they make that trench the mineralized zone. then the started burn off. as you can see, the ground hears all ash, all of this is nash ah, the result of his employees from the ministry of emergency situation. so everyone his head plow, plough, manage, extinguish, saw so. well, this fire does not prevent any immediate threats any people,

but so it still feels just kind of good to have a part in extinguishing it. so now is just a bunch of smoke but there's no news . so we've traveled back to your village that is currently being threatened by the wildfires. there is one coming from one side and the other. it's chaos right now. we tried to go to the fires, but this place is very big. and so we just didn't have enough time to reach it. it's way too far away, and it's through very dense wilderness. the only thing that can get through there are things like this, but they're all packed with firefighters. but we did see the mineralized line that they made. we saw the burn off, and the aftermath of that burn off the burns trees the burned ground. we walked to

know for at least an hour through all of the we still couldn't reach the fire. we decided to head back, it was just too much blood. it was taking its whole on our eyes on our breath, on our lungs. very rough out there. the guys are, they're constantly. some of them have been there for 40 days already. and even they are getting tired already. so i think at least now many people have gotten understanding of what it takes to battle these wildfires to battle nature. and how can you call this can be i have information about our t. yeah. and hopefully still is, he's safe. well, but so i'm a huge task ahead isn't for everyone in the meantime. cause rush is not the only country really under those wall fires. these pictures information is here again, that grappling with of lasers across the country. the military is not been called in to help fight temperatures in the north african nation hitting 49 degrees c in recent days, and far as a neighboring algeria to 65 has been killed,

including 28 soldiers, homes, all have groves and animals that provide a livelihood in the region, wiped out algeria presidents announcing 3 days of morning starting thursday. then the picture across southern europe not good either, particularly italy and sicily, pfizer approaching populated areas of lovely italian island. smoke from burning trees is turned the sky red. they say, well, you can see pictures yourself, according to local reports, fall of broken out in all 9 provinces in temperatures such 40 degrees celsius using di, ragged force is part of germany's legal system. that's how berlin police responded than to allegations of police brutality during a recent anti locked protest view in special rep or turn on torture early a castigating german police after this controversial footage paid online.

the . the re question is violence. violence hurts, violence, injury, violence looks violent, direct coercion, even with all the pictures that go with it is still part of our legal system. when those heron, thim for police officer slammed an elderly woman here the ground surface, there was a wave of i was raised here in germany call. and alex police brutality but not from the side of the german police. they looked at the same scenes and call them off of the course and erin fartor of the legal system. the 2nd statements came in response to approve a few years complaints of police misconduct to load down protests on the 1st of august. and

the it is clearly excessive. what we saw in the i've seen different accounts and i've also, i have witness accounts from people who i know who happened to be close to cases of police violence, very senior people who were simply shocked by what we saw, especially if we think that one year ago the german media, the german public, so 100 percent li, condemned the violence against black people in the u. s. a. this is indeed worried. such scenes combat thompson of the poor, her on tours. her nail smells. her number of videos have been spread that give ground for concern because a strong enough the human rights violations were possibly committed. he also had a bad,

the woman and the now infamous video could have died. he had to utter disbelief from critics a colleague of the perpetrators who claimed he was actually proc tax ensure that was neatly executed, had lever hold. the officer held the woman until contact with the ground so as to avoid head injury at least if, as long as we look at civilized, let's say similar european nations which include germany, russia, the u. s. police and politicians should definitely be interested in limiting the, the amount of force views. but what is hypocritical is the double standards that are applied. and, and again, i fully understand german media. german officials criticize of the european countries for the us for the, for, for police force. but why do not, why do they refuse to do the same thing when their own police forces are concerned? that is the of the voting fact. but during the sounds,

then the united states has one the right challenge, key evidence in is you can tradition, case after the decision is fiance stella morris made an impassioned player. so the high court in london, where she spoke of the threats, shin of family, received threats against me. that's against our children. threats against death, threats against you. in eldest son, daniel sits on julian life threats. 175 year sentence and the actual ongoing imprisonment of a journalist for doing his job protests was gathered in london supported yearly massage, but still washington has not been allowed to challenge key evidence against his extradition and early report by the psychiatric experts dealing with him was judged to be misleading. it claimed that a son who will likely take his own life,

expedite and putting fail crucially party to mentioned the children father during his time in the ecuador and embassy given incomplete picture, therefore, of the will supply emotional state. i cause decisions infuriated human rights activists u. s. government, and it's case is grasping at straws. it's clear that the current intention of the us government is to pursue this and tell the bitter end, but it doesn't have to be this way out. point the bided administration could make this stop. now is the time we put a loan. but now is the time when this case has finally reached a series caught that cuz he's a duty to funds free or not it's bullet a decade ago. this has been run thing on the wiki lease co founder published thousands of classified documents, exposing pentagon war crimes. enough got to start in iraq. assange was arrested back in 2019 for breaching british bail conditions. he remains in london jail and still wanted on espionage charges in the u. s. which states that his actions broke

american law and endangered lives you face as a possible prison sentence of nearly 200 years if he's extradited, as on support to say that was suppose case is an affront to human rights. the lower, the lower mainstream media won't tell us. i mean, the me sorry, 38 people have been rescued but a still missing after a helicopter, carrying to her as crushed into a deep light come, come, shop kit peninsula and rushes far east medic say. all those rescued are in a stable condition,

but that suited to opperation is continuing because really if against the weather and the debt to the like in portraying because across it real a headache for the rescue, isn't it kevin? hello. well, there were a total of 16 people on board 3 crew members and 13 taurus from moscow in saint petersburg, including one child. and i can tell you that it is a true miracle. that half of them were rescued because the helicopter crashed into a very deep blake in which the waters are as cold as 5 degrees. and apparently the air craft submerged very quickly and surviving. and these conditions in the water that is so called is an immense challenge. and also the fog was very thick that the rescuers didn't even see the cali copper when it was crashing, but they could hear the sound,

which was followed by silence immediately. so the rescuers realized that they have to rush. and it's thanks to their reaction that some people were saved. we heard the sound of an approaching helicopter. that was very thick. folk visibility was about 100 meters. we couldn't see it, but we heard how the water. we launched boats and after 3 or 4 minutes, we were at the crash site. we found 8 people. 2 of them were in a serious condition. so apparently the passengers literally had seconds to escape the cabin. one of them said that he felt that he was almost 10 meters deep when he was able to find his way out from boy who most fully for, for, for the last couple of years. and when i was dozing a lot of time because visibility was very poor, and i realized something had happened only when i felt was to splash my face. it's hard to talk about it because there was a boy sitting next to me,

the son of my friend, and because i was sleepy, i didn't have time to fasten his safety belt. i removed mine and i was instantly lifted up by the water. there was a small pocket, so i managed to take a breath. it wasn't the endo, the water was cold. visibility was poor folk was everywhere. the survivors who managed to went to the surface, cried out for help, but i couldn't even help myself. my shoes were dragging me down, trying to find something to climb onto because in minutes we don't be frozen to death. however, when it comes to the fate of those who are still missing, the chances of finding them alive are close to 0. unfortunately, these cold waters, they must have taken their toll and also the helicopter is already somewhere very deep. and the rescuers have been struggling with the equipment that they had initially in order to dive. the helicopter is more than 100 meters below the

surface. but the divers only have equipment for working at the depth of up to 20 meters. now we have already heard from the officials that this particular me a helicopter. it was checked before the flight and everything was fine and it went through scheduled maintenance last year. so according to the preliminary data from the investigation, perhaps the reason for that crash is paula error and it could have been worse and by the horrible weather conditions there and the fog that is still there and it is hampering rescue efforts as well. yeah. so 1st time, along with you that i've seen that guy that was rescued that went so far was in the pocket of it. it's amazing stories. so calm and together despite what he's been through this morning or i will get a school or a more report from there, please update us throughout the day for no need for trying to thank you. 17 policy i was still to come. i don't worry about reading, writing, and math if you need to graduate from high school in oregon anyway in the us,

the states drop those basic requirements to find that old good plan or not got reaction to it after the break. ah, driven by adrian shaped by those in me, i think we dare to ask me ah,

crap trillions of dollars that they send to chinese workers and chinese factory owners who make the world a good that they shipping containers into amazon warehouses and wal mart stores where millions and millions of americans work at a less than survivor, a wall minimum wage and are for the 1st time in america, life expectancy is going down ah, i get in high school students in the state of oregon will no longer have to prove that they're proficient in reading, writing, math, mathematics, in order to be able to graduate, good plan or not. well this, according to a new law anyway, signed off by the governor kellum opened, explains a bit more of the theory behind it. according to the bill that was signed into law

in the state of oregon, last month, students in order to graduate from high school in the state of oregon will no longer have to prove that they're capable of reading, writing, or performing basic mathematical operations. this is don, according to the bills language, to help students from communities that have quote, historically experienced academic disparities. the testing that we've been doing in the past doesn't tell us what we want to know. we want to have kids getting a chance to do and learn and be curious about everything. and what we've been doing is stopping that curiosity. now the bill from what it's supporters say is about trying to help students who are from immigrant populations or refugees who have come to the states who the examinations and the tests required for graduation are seen as kind of a barrier to them getting the high school diploma now, reportedly these rules will now be in place for the next 5 years now. the bill was

signed into law without much fanfare. there was no signing ceremony. there was no press release announcing the bill, and it was added to the database a few days after it was signed. and now i was last month and now there's been quite a strong negative reaction. this is a progressive left form of education, dummy down kids. you are taking away the only tool to get to break the poverty cycle. this is the type of legislation that they want to make black people a permanent underclass. these requirements were suspended during the pandemic due to the circumstances, but now the suspension of those requirements has been fully signed into law in the state of oregon. now it's possible that the federal department of education could step in to overturn these requirements. but many see this as a trend of lowering standards. there needs to be standards at what level you need

to have reach in high school in order to get that diploma to represent something. so if we take out and dumb it down than what does it really mean any more bargains graduation rates of bad. but the solution to that is not by taking away all the high school standards solution to make the schools better, not by for attending for the same thing. like i think if you come from different backgrounds, you should be able to have the same as like the requirements should be a little bit more level than what they are. so best intentions, but guess we're good from believes that the new law could actually dragged down the states entire education system in the process. i think that there's plenty opportunities. there are what we have head start systems here in oregon. we have tutoring, since we got everything in place to help a student struggling to succeed. that's what education is about not to bring the whole system down. it's somewhat races. i mean, you're putting a class of people down and you're bringing everybody down in time. are you forcing

colleges to lower their standards in order to get students in to pay their bills? the whole system of education gets damaged by this. this bill will create an evacuation out of public schools in the private schools and homeschooled, and that in turn will hurt them financially. when you take away the primary ability for arson to themselves, out of poverty, which is education. and then you insert the bigotry of low extra cases into basically dumb down all the requirements. not only are they going to have a problem, give me the congress, are going to have a problem with procuring employment in more than anything this, this harms every last say that because of america, because you're just totally dumbing down our future, which are the jordan republican senate who wants defended the right of private companies to do what they wished he found himself blocked by one youtube run. polls account that is now suspended for

a week for alleged misinformation about covert marks. we remove content from senator polls channel for including claims that masks are ineffective, and preventing the contraction or transmission of cove at 19. in accordance with our coven, 19 medical misinformation policies. we apply our policies consistently across the platform, regardless of speaker or political views. the video we posted contain claims that cloth, smart cur, an effective, and can't prevent the spread of infection. while health officials insist that mask indeed can guarantee a certain level of protection. ran poll, criticize a decision made by the social part for you to maybe a private entity, but they're acting like an arm of the government, censoring those who present an alternative view to the science deniers in washington. what i said in that video is actual science. most of the mask you get over the counter don't work. they don't prevent infection. now when it comes to in

$95.00 bask. i have always said that those do were we found that libertarian party, what they thought about the policies to some major social media platforms these days, i will say that government is using big tech as a proxy, very often in the censoring of specific opinions that they don't agree with and that's something that's been going on for quite some time. any roughly 5 or 6 year period. we have gone from where there's been almost no center ship of opinion, except for maybe like hate speech and even not much censuring of that, to where an increasing number of things are simply verboten. you just cannot see them. if you do say them, then there's a good chance you're going to be removed, not just from one platform, but if you say it on any of them removed from all of them. and you're effectively silenced on the internet. that is a problem. when you have any kind of a scientific opinion,

you're often going to get multiple views. and those views are going to be challenged, both in open political debate and open social debate and in scientific debate. and the way that the truth rises is both through and by a scientific evaluation, along with additional oversight from the community from the society as a whole. the remember, while the views inside the united states are fairly diverse, the views and silicon valley or anything but. and you're going to find a lot more preference toward big government status in among the very people that are controlling these big tech networks. so yes, there's no question that conservatives, libertarians are being the platforms much more quickly and much more aggressively. then progressives are liberal democrats that have ideas that are equivalently outside of the mainstream. and if you were to get involved in the conversation and have a story today, go to the comments section to
