but i know we can maybe just speak with him or whatever it is. the by fight isn't volunteers. baffled. massive wildfires in rushes. far east, where a state of emergency is in force. smoke and ash coated huge areas of correspondence in the thick of it. firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this is 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 coping vaccines from pfizer and madonna show a severe dropping efficacy when faced with the delta vary. and according to the us study, island police say the use of violence is part of germany's legal system in response to claims of using excessive force against protests as a recent anti lockdown rally.
7:01 am
ah, keeping watch and what's happening around the world is artsy, international from moscow. my name is colin bry, welcome to the program, 1st for you. what recross this our from north africa to southern europe and beyond wildfires have been a global daily tragedy for months. now. all over the world, 5 fighters have been battling side by side with volunteers in the military to bring the vast and deadly fires under control. the who's me
7:02 am
and russia haven't escaped unscathed. the eastern region of you could hear is still struggling to deal with rage and wildfires, and the devastations that they bring almost 5000 people are battling the flames right now. the 700 piece of equipment deployed to a state of emergency has been declared across the vast region with 6 smokers forced a number of apples to suspend flights. dmitri poke. is that and send this report? me? ooh ah. so we're still traveling to 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 stopped at this. scenic location is late covered and smoke a red sky above it. and over looking all of this is a bunch of cows, some dogs,
7:03 am
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 me. if you're wondering what the raj, all these places looks like, something like this, the lose the last step, which when you full of fire is the most difficult as it encompasses enlarge area.
7:04 am
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 the 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 they 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, there were fallen tis employees from the ministry, the emergency situation. so everyone has hair, plough, plough, manage, extinguish,
7:05 am
saw. so while this fire does not represent 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 is no fire me. ah . so we've traveled back to the 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 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
7:06 am
they made. we saw the burn off and the, 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 are 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 chaos call of this can be . i have information about r t k alarming results of a recent american studies suggest the both the fighter and mcdonough vaccines have dropped in efficacy over the course of this year with some experts blaming it on the recent search and the coven. delta varied right across this forest is our
7:07 am
correspondent, helium, to try and get high again, pay more report less. what are the actual numbers? say, well, i do have a lot of numbers for you right here, but let's digest this step by step. first of all, we're talking about a so called pre print study, that's a study that's now causing a stir. must be atlantic, which means that it hasn't gone through any kind of peer review or it has not been published in an academic journal. however, the numbers are out there and you know, the, the, the, these are the ones that cannot be ignored and they only come from one state of minnesota. but clearly they do outline the trend when it comes to the prevention of infections. the efficacy of the madonna vaccine has dropped to 76 percent. but if we look at pfizer, the efficacy of that jab was reduced to 42 percent. so pretty much this is a statistical nose dive for pfizer because back in winter,
7:08 am
the numbers were 86 percent and 76 percent respectively. and experts are linking this with the spread of the delta covert variant in the us. and if you look at the situation with cove it in america, even though that this is a pre print study, you can see that these numbers are being echoed. my, what's happening in the hospitals and the statistics show as well. because if we take the whole country only a bit more than a month ago, if we look at the daily growth, the number was about plus $12000.00 new cases. now you know what they registered on august. the 11th plus $155000.00 new cases so you can feel the difference. if you look at the curve, there is no sign that the trend is going to change in the near future. and a southern states are running out of intensive care unit beds. here's what we heard
7:09 am
from one of the cobra doctors who's working in texas. we're going back to when do they go when you don't have what you base at full. so we have to put pens, letting work fan outside to allow 2 people to more patients more but i have done that increases stuff. deborah ward the very 1st and so when we're older in your stuff that you bring prepared to 3, these kind of sick patients. now, while the spread of the delta variant in the us is clearly set to turn into a nightmare for american officials without full vaccination of the vast majority of the population, most likely new variants are going to keep appearing and they will be more
7:10 am
dangerous. and this is something that senior medical experts have been warning about for a while. long as the virus continues to spread, you give it ample opportunity to mutate. and when you give an ample opportunity to mutate, you may sooner relate a get another variant and it is possible that that variant might be in some respects worse than the already very difficult, very, and we're dealing with now. so it's quite clear that this cat and mouse game between the scientific solutions and the mutations of this disease. what are the officials say? well, if we look at these latest numbers from that study, it a comment to the outlet that 1st reported on that research, as senior by the ministration officials said the following. if that's not a wake up call, i don't know what is, but for now perhaps they've been reluctant to comment on that. if we look back at
7:11 am
something that the president was saying during the 4th of july celebration, he was more than optimistic about how his administration has been battling cove it in the u. s. he was what he said. thanks to our roaring fact, seen effort. we gain the upper hand against this virus. we can live our lives, our kids can go back to school. our economy is rory back. this is what joe biden said a bit more than a week ago. now the situation is completely different and it could turn potentially into a massive blow for the vitamin ministration. back to the back scenes that are, these are the only 2 that are in the mix. are they how do the other vaccine fair against delta? well, i can tell you that in the case of johnson and johnson and splitting the, the russian vaccine, the numbers are looking much better. and i can tell you, but the scientific background for. ready these 2 jobs is actually very similar, and the numbers are very good for johnson johnson. it showed 95 percent efficacy
7:12 am
against new delta variance. now the efficacy for sputnik v, according to the washing health ministry have dropped again when it comes to the delta variance to 83 percent. but still as we understand that is significantly higher than the statistics that we were getting from minnesota form. and they're now and for pfizer, for sure. now, because of this, probably the developers of the russian vaccine, they've already proposed cooperation with pfizer. and they're suggesting trials with sport neg as a booster vaccine. but let's see if they're going to get a response to that. we do understand that still for now, despite being allowed in dozens of countries, particularly has not yet been certified by the world trade organization know about mixed match stuff seem to have done the tracking number of countries when they've tried it. okay. alright. it's an ever changing game. thanks very much for joining
7:13 am
us for that. next, using direct force is part of germany's legal system. that's how, but in police responded to medications of brutality during a recent anti lockdown protest. the un special repertoire on torture radio castigated german police after this controversial footage appeared online. the the question is violence, violence hurts, violence, injures violence, looks violent, direct coercion, even with all the pictures that go with it is still part of our legal system, protected class and police during recent math protests in berlin against cove. in 1900 restrictions. the authorities announced that the demonstrations were illegal and attempted to break up the crowd of germany days. most of the pandemic restrictions this summer, but some instead in place such as mandatory mosque wearing on public transport and indoor spaces. or journalist and author,
7:14 am
thomas fan spender told us that german officials seem to care more about police brutality abroad than at home. this is troubling, a very troubling phenomenon which i personally have lived in germany for so many decades would not have expected. it is clearly excessive what we saw and it is troubling the reaction by the burning force, the the refusing to admit that they have been wrong doings, 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. i fully understand german media, german official decides of the european countries while the us for the full for police force. but why do they refused to do the same thing when their own police
7:15 am
forces are concerned? that is the, the ordering fact high school students in the u. s. state of oregon will no longer have to prove that their proficient in reading, writing, and mathematics in order to be able to graduate. it's coding to a new load has been signed off by the governor. kind of open explains a bit more about 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 disparity. 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
7:16 am
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 as strong a negative reaction. this is the 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,
7:17 am
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 the diploma is to represent something. so if we take out and dumb it down than what does that really peanut anymore organs graduation rates a bad? but the solution to that is not by taking away all the high school standards solution to make this work better. and by for tending that this rock cannibal for the same thing like i think if you come from different backgrounds, you should be able to have the same as you know, they really like the requirements should be a little bit more level than what they are. so best intentions, but the guess we've heard from believe that the new law could drag down the states
7:18 am
entire education system and the process. i think that there's plenty opportunities there are. we have head start systems here in oregon. we have tutoring system. we got everything in place to help a student, the 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 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 home school, and that in turn will hurt them financially. when you take away the primary ability for persons who are 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 getting into congress,
7:19 am
they're gonna have a problem with procuring employment in more than anything this, this forms every last say that because of america, because you're just totally dumbing down our future, which are the jordan deal with are you still become a tourist helicopter has crashed into a remote lake in rushes. far 8th 8 people are still missing. i will tell you what happened after the break. ah ah with me ah
7:20 am
ah, i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the hello again. a helicopter carrying tourists has crashed into
7:21 am
a deep lake in rushes. far east in kamchatka peninsula and people have been rescued . birth 8 others are still missing. medic say that all those who have been rescued are currently in a stable condition. 13 tourists for moscow and some petersburg, including a child who are on board of the time along with free crew members. one survivor described the terrifying experience of will most fully for for, for those to be with me since i was dozing a lot of the time because visibility was very poor and and i realized something had happened only when i felt water brush. my face was hard to talk about it because there was a boy sitting next to me, the son of my friend, because i was sleepy. i didn't have time to unfasten a safety boat. i remove mine and i was instantly lifted up by the water. there was a small air pocket, so i managed to take a breath even if it wasn't the under the water was cold. visibility was poor folk was everywhere. the survivors who managed to swim to the surface, cried out for help. but i couldn't even help myself. my shoes who are dragging me down. i tried to find something to climb up because in minutes we'd all be frozen
7:22 am
to death. we heard about the cold water that in fact we've reportedly down to 6 degrees celsius. the thick fog, the lake is still posing a huge obstacle for the emergency services. 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 haven't hit 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. the deputy director of the company that owns the helicopter, told us that the aircraft was inspected before departure and underwent a major overhaul last year. preliminary data suggests the crash was caused by pilot error. that's still under investigation from a remote mountainous region on the cam chatted with an interest as popular among tourists and is only accessible by air. divers at the sea and so far be unable to reach the helicopter. the helicopter is more than 100 meters below the surface,
7:23 am
but the divers only have equipment for working at the depth of up to 20 meters. next to a republican us senator, who wants defended the right of private companies to do what they wished has found himself blocked by one of the youtube rand pulls account, is now suspended for a week for alleged misinformation about code masks. 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. a video posting contain claims that cloth masks an effective and can't prevent the spread of infection. while health officials insist that masks can guarantee a certain level of protection. as you might imagine,
7:24 am
senator ball was far from happy. 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 end of the 5 basks. i have always said that those do work or youtube frequently on the screw. nathan batting, or suspending contents of it fuses throughout the pandemic. any violation of his current policies could get you videos dropped rules on other sites, such as twitter. facebook are also seen by some as controversial. we also members of the us libertarian party, while they thought about the policies, the majors, social media platforms, the state. 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
7:25 am
or 6 year period. we have gone from where there's been almost no censorship 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 say them. and 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 inside terrific debate. and the way that the truth rises is both through an unbiased scientific evaluation, along with additional oversight from the community, from society as a whole. the remember, while the views inside the united states are fairly diverse. the reasons i feel
7:26 am
like in the valley or anything but, and you're going to find a lot more preference toward big government status. and 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. ok, that's reduce for now we'll have the next update after news abuse. who's me so i
7:27 am
