3:03 pm

3:04 pm
me, me in real numbers covered cases across germany are dropping right now, but in order to make sure that that remains the case while measures remain in place . in fact, here in berlin just on saturday, we're going to see new measures come into play, which is going to make things more inconvenient for those who haven't been vaccinated. basically, you're going to have to show proof of vaccination or proof that you've recovered from cobra. 19 within the last 6 months, if you want to enter certain public spaces on the other side of the world, several 1000 austrians protesting covered restrictions of, clashed with police and brought central melbourne to a standstill. the rallies against covert locked down some vaccine rules come just a day off the right police dispersed crowds in the city. yes.
3:05 pm
the construction workers pelted union representatives with bottles and other objects, the siding with the government to shut down the construction industry and force employees to get an updated by the end of this week, organizers wanted demonstrations will continue until the demands met, including an immediate end to the lockdown, no more mosque vaccine mandates and the reopening of building sites, political commentator, the risk is in australia says the heavy handed police response, including the pepper spray and rubber bullets, could get even worse. in australia, you do have a small but in the same time, not insignificant percentage of the population who is part of this worldwide movement of the what i would, the,
3:06 pm
the feedback summation group. the interesting thing about these particular practice today is the way that they have described bio straight and officials, for example, one official describers participating. as i quote, he drunken, fascist on a straight in morons. so this, the 1st time we've seen such language being used to describe the purpose for the police. it's interesting that the police officials have said that in light of what they've heard about the intentions of the demonstrators to continue they have, they said that they will take a different approach more heavy had the approach if the demonstrations continue in next few days. that use un general assembly is up and running in new york with leaders from around the world, taking the podium among the 1st addresses was us president joe biden, his operative word being cooperation. but it's not that simple. those kind of more that explains we heard the debut speech of joe biden,
3:07 pm
to the un general assembling. he talked about the need for global unity. he stressed the issue of climate change and he talked about how the usa withdrawing from afghanistan was the end of an era. now he did emphasize that the united states is not afraid to retaliate against terrorist groups that might attack the united way. the country is more equipment to do so tend to drive them from the air to cut off their finances, as well as to counter their propaganda. joe biden didn't of course, reference the recent air strike that was aimed at isolated ended up killing civilians including children in afghanistan. now, during his remarks, joe biden emphasized that the united states would always have the back of its allies around the world, while the major powers of the world have a duty in my view to carefully manage their relationships. so we do not chip from responsible competition to conflict. we are not seeking
3:08 pm
a new cold war or world wide it. in the rigid blocks. united states is ready to work with any nation will stand up for our allies and our friends, and oppose attempts by stronger countries and dominate weaker ones. now this comes just a week after the decision by the united states to join with australia and the united kingdom and a new security pack to their calling at the office deal. the office packed and this alliance was considered hugely offensive to france, france a long time ally of the united states, a member of nato, felt they were stabbed in the back. because this led to australia cancelling a deal that was very lucrative for france for diesel submarines and diesel actors. submarines their deal is canceled and instead the united states is now supplying australia with submarines. now, at this point,
3:09 pm
this point we have the french president mac crohn, who was scheduled to speak cancelling his remarks. he was planning to give a pre recorded speech to the un general assembly. and that speech has been canceled and it will be later, it will be much later on monday that we will hear the french foreign minister give remarks on behalf of france to the un general assembly. this is the 1st time since 2005 that the french president has not spoken to the un general assembly, quite a dramatic move. he was on the schedule for later today, and the aftermath of biden's remarks he has been cancelled. now, what is the reason for this abrupt change in the schedule, many or suspecting this, relates to the office deal to frances anger at the united states over the submarine contracts, etc. but that is not yet confirmed. there has not been an official reason given by france for this abrupt change in graduating and,
3:10 pm
and who will be representing them at the u. n. ga. but it's important to note that it's not just france that is outrage at the united states over the office deal. while we've also heard from the european union chief, it seems like there is some pretty widespread outrage. people feel like the united states has left one of its important allies behind. one of our member states has been treated in a way that is not acceptable friends and allies partners talk to each other. so this is clearly, this did clearly not happen. and i think we need to talk during the discussion ministers express, clear story that 80 tory france and these announcement run counter 2 calls for greater corporation. we did it the and union in the, in the pacific. what we seeing that has made a lot of things more difficult, and i'm afraid things will remain more difficult for a while. we understand very well the anger of our french friends. what was decided
3:11 pm
that the way this decision came about is irritating. it is sobering and not only for france. so at this point, so we not only have france in the european union coming out against the august deal, but we have china coming out against it, doing it as a hostile move, saying that it could lead to a new cold war. so in light of all that's taken place, the anger of france and the european union. the anger of china jo biden's words about the need to avoid a new cold war and not divide the world into blocks and the need and the promise of the united states to always stick by its allies. those words came across to many international observers as rather hollow. well, let's get some thoughts on that. next them from a former austrian foreign minister. karen klein for. welcome to see mr. biden's words about cooperation and standing up for allies. i'm imagining a small snort of duration in the least
3:12 pm
a palace in your expert opinion. how do you think that went down in europe? why when he speaks about allies and friends, i think he's thinking 1st and foremost about those who speak english such as the british and go trade and maybe eating in when it comes to the so called into pacific region. but it's america for them to europe last. now often when you hear leaders talking about cooperation and pace, it normally goes hand in hand with them being accused of getting up to something somewhere else in the world. how do you think his words on trying to prevent a new cold war tally with what's going on with america in the endo pacific. why it was the intrigue? why the capillary? because it reminded me a little bit of what we could listen from time to time. our tools for from our chinese colleagues in the, in the ministry of finance, sheriffs, namely it's all about competition. it's not about hope. this is the rhetoric that
3:13 pm
usually china implies in its relationship with the united states. and now why didn't expect that forwarding thing? it's all about petition, but it's not about them or for the fletch conflict. what does washington have to do to try and repair the damage with from here, as we heard from all correspond that we don't know why president mc wrong was pulled out of addressing the un general assembly. but the timing is pretty suspicious, isn't it? so given that there is clear, the banga in france at its treatment at the hands of washington post complete and yeah, and it, it, it won't go away that easily. it will stay. and as you have also grow to the commission president, it was enough on the lion with a very strong statement. several other commissioners have taken disorder such as jenny, please don't think there's something broken in the trans atlantic relation. so
3:14 pm
based on your appeal for the g, and we should also bear in mind that the commission president, also on the line was somehow the idea of this attention by french presidents. my call that she will be nominated. so there's a very strong bond between her and the french president. so this is one thing also to bear in mind. it's not trust the bilateral you sense now that so will fly away by a phone call that has been announced in president biden, and it won't go away by some intense diplomacy on, on a bilateral level. it will remain, and i'm pretty sure that it will have further implications for free trade parks for the various counsels between the us and the repeat union. and since this is from the lion and bob, the commission,
3:15 pm
the white president liked speak about 2 political commission. if there is one country that really implies to politics and it's diplomacy, it's france, it's not the germans. it's not the spanish isn't as to old that we also have to at the fragmentation that is still there up inside natal. that is a new security concept to be discuss, insight, nato. the frenchman is to find the trans has already announced that the french show will take and you stand on it. so down many, many implications. given is therefore struggling in relations with europe and the major powers within the he's also struggling at home with the pandemic. the debacle of afghanistan and also migrant crisis with that in mind that he was president boys and address aimed at i was somehow at the impression he was the dressing much more
3:16 pm
a domestic audience than the famous word audience for 193 un members he was speaking to the u. s. americans on his old saying goes, what is good for kentucky is good for the world. and this definitely has always been shaping your foreign policy so he can speak a lot about a new notion of diplomacy. but in the end, it's about us national interest and i was a little bit intrigued by this notion of relentless long. i mean, what is relentless? is it a remake of coercive diplomacy that the united states have, for instance, that the dates in agreement football has to go be $999.00? i mean just a little to do diplomacy. if you force somebody, mama is about equality and dialogue. yeah. it sounds like a threat, doesn't it? relentless diplomacy. okay, so we've got to get, you know, unique insight on what's happening in those circles in europe. client. so thanks
3:17 pm
very much. you're most welcome. thank you. have a nice evening. you too. this is our team on the way a 3rd russian man is facing charges in britain over alleged involvement in the 2018 script power poisoning saga. it's just a minute stories after the break what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation 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 critical time time to sit down and talk with me
3:18 pm
ah, ah ah ah ah ah hello again. the central russian city permits the morning, the victim of my shoot ticket, its top university 6 people were killed. 4 of the major 20 and under a more than 2 dozen others were wounded. that is the warning that you might find
3:19 pm
the following footage, disturbing security recordings have been released showing students inside the university building running for their lives as the attacker walks in. he injured the security guard, then shoot him a 2nd time as the guard lives defenseless on the floor. the man dressed in black then stepped over the turnstile to continue his mass, killing me while no memorials been set up where hundreds have already paid that respects to the victims. among them, a woman whose daughter was badly injured in the attack. with little shorts of film, the shot hit my daughter in the bucket. she was running away when she saw him and started running. it hit her in the back. she'd had to have a kidney removed, she'll be transported to more school. she received 1st aid, god bless those people. we got lucky in comparison to others. she was a little behind her group. they managed to walk themselves inside a classroom. parents should be aware of what the kids are doing. this is what i'm talking about. how is it possible? his parents didn't see he got all that stuff at home?
3:20 pm
friends laughing thought it was a joke. what's that about? this? it is still really for what's happened here. throughout the night, hundreds of people gathered to make shift and memorial here, bringing flowers to honor. the memory of the deceased. being diversity is closed now it's campus has been sealed off by the police with investigation. of course, in full swing, no one except for those who live in the student dormitory, behind these fans are allowed inside. now we're stayed standing in front of an entrance where the gunman broke in. the attacker is, believe you have initially a gun down a security guard to make his way into the camp was now let's recap some of the key moments from yesterday's shooting. ah, i use
3:21 pm
i didn't hear the shots, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got that. turns out if we hadn't 15 minutes sonya we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually eat a building time. we are in the 1st building, turned out that it was this little saved today's the, ah, me, the suspect was identified as an 18 year old freshman student at the university. he spent just a couple of weeks there before the incident, so it's unlikely it was an act of personal revenge. investigators have been able to piece together exactly what happened on that day. so we know that a black clad shooter in a helmet hunting rifle,
3:22 pm
and ammunition wrapped around his body, stormed into the campus around 11 in the morning while students were in their classes. some of the students and teachers barricaded in their classrooms, others were seen jumping out of windows, trying to flee the harness. it was a horrific scene unfolding, unfolding just meters away from where we're standing. now. people were leaping from a height of about 4 meters falling heavily on the ground. many of them have suffered serious injuries because of that. our team managed to talk to you the suspects father, who lives in a different city now and hasn't kept in close contact with his son an ex wife. but nonetheless, he noticed that something was not right with his son. i am in another city right now. heard various rumors and still don't know what to believe. i work away on contract. come to pam around once a year. sometimes more, sometimes less and last saw my son around april or may. nothing could have prepared
3:23 pm
me for this. when i 1st heard about the incident, i went into shock and i still haven't recovered from what he suspected of doing. he lived with his mother, we've been divorced for 12 years. and whenever i talked to him, he just sat at home by the computer. i kept asking him, why didn't he go for a walk or do something else? this year he went to university to study forensic science on a fee basis. he hasn't even finished his 1st month. well, as you can imagine, this was a nightmare, especially for those who was inside at that moment. then we're going to listen to a story of a teacher who was lucky enough to survive this horrible blood bath most will in the school. soon as we were touring university, new hardware had arrived and we spend more time on implant. so my next class was due at 11 30 am, but we said a bit longer. and there's 3 minutes actually saved off because everything happened just outside the door. we were late, one of my students left earlier to be in time and she was injured and she's in hospital right now, but my team and i got lucky stuff have instructions on what to do and everything
3:24 pm
was done as per instructions and our training to summarize there are 2 rules running case for fire. barricade yourself in as a terrorist attack. of course, the question on everyone's mind now is how we mentally insane 18 year old got hold of a farm. while he bought it legally, resume and footage taken in one of the gun stores where the shooter allegedly purchased his ammo. he passed all the medical tests. he was then advice like high trees, who apparently hadn't noticed anything odd about this quiet young man. so that would be mass shooter, got a firearms license in accordance with russian laws, and probably this is an area of legislation that is going to be revised in by authorities in the near future. now, what's crystal clear about this strategy to do right now is that it could have been much worse if it hadn't been for 2 heroic traffic police officers who miraculously happened to be in the vicinity. when the shooting started,
3:25 pm
they both rushed to the campus. one of them quickly ran into the attacker who opened fire that officer constantine colleen and fired back one thing of the suspect and then even administered 1st aid, the governments in the hospital now in serious condition. although he survived and regained consciousness, and i can say the same about the city though, as the per miss still trying to come to terms with the nightmare that's just happened. the british foreign office has summoned russia's 2nd highest diplomat in london to discuss the soles re poisoning saga ours. off the u. k. named a 3rd russian over alleged involvement in the 2018 poisonings which left 3 people critically ill of one dead. moscow insist london using the incident to pressure russia. you can always say they believe the new suspect works for russian military intelligence and allegation also leveled with alexander, but for often was land shared off 3 years ago when they were also named the suspects. also on tuesday,
3:26 pm
the european court of human rights ruled that the kremlin is responsible for the murder of alexander the bananas, an ex security service officer who the court claims died of polonium poisoning. moscow always denied any involvement in the 2006 death halley pertaining to joint kevin. i would like to discuss these 2 developments starting with the saulsbury case. according to u. k. police. his name is dennis sergei as 50 years old and the believe that he's a very serious man there calling him a major general working for russia's foreign intelligence service. and it is claimed that mister ser gave was in charge of the entire alleged mission to murder, former double agents surrogate scribble in a london suburb. even though, as the prosecutors are saying, the investigators found that mister sure gave remain in london during his entire stay in the u. k. london has authorized the charges against the man,
3:27 pm
but formerly he cannot be charged before he's arrested. the scriptural case made huge headlines. you know, in britain, most people knew about it, but around the world, reminders and little bit about it's a complicated case. and we will have to go back to march 2018 when russian born through the script ball, who had been working as a spy for russia, but eventually turned into a double agent. at that time, he felt severely ill in solsbury, along with his daughter, and soon after that london, together with some of its western allies, began accusing russia of poisoning mister script ball and the cold that an attempt to murder the man. and it was claimed that to washing nationals using the names, alexander petroff and wu salon, the sheer of went to solve greek and used a nerve agent called knobby talked to allegedly get rid of mr. script ball.
3:28 pm
eventually the 2 men gave an interview toward channel in which they said that they were not involved in any kind of wrong doing. and that they had only gone to the u . k, as tourists. moscow kept asking for evidence and also kept saying that they were keen to operates to join efforts to investigate this difficult case. however, when u. k. officials kept blatantly refusing to cooperate and they kept refusing to provide any kind of evidence to the russian officials. moscow began blaming london for using this case as a political tool to deem and internationally. so here's what the foreign ministry spokeswoman marie, as a harbor said on tuesday about this junior bullet, explained elliot for over 2 and a half years. the british authorities have used the incident salisbury to deliberately complicate bilateral ties, despite repeated appeals from russia,
3:29 pm
along with coal 1st possible dialogue. london is still refusing to have a substantial discussion, enjoined investigation into the incident where and i want to remind you here, russian citizen suffered when you, once it actually with the u. k. police announcement on tuesday, the european court of human rights ruled that russia was responsible for another killing that was of former spy. alexander live in ankle, which dates back to 2006. what's new than that? it's been brought up to make headlines. well, to be honest with you, there really isn't anything new in that conclusion by the european court of human rights, because it almost entirely echoes what we heard from the british authorities before . but the story of alexander live in ankle 15 years ago. it was a massive one all over the headlines, and it was really something that caused big cracks in london,
3:30 pm
moscow relations and took the u. k. investigators 10 years to roll that kremlin, quote, unquote, probably approved the killing of alexander live in a go. who was a spy for russia, but then became a british citizen. the investigation found that to washing nationals, one of them a former k g b body guard deliberately poisoned mister, let ben ankle in london by adding polonium to his drake. so now the european court acumen rights has ruled that there is initial evidence that these 2 washing nationals that i mentioned acted as agents of the russian state. now, in response to that, the russian foreign ministry today has said that the decisions of the european court of human rights are becoming increasingly russo phobic granite william. here's more evidence that the european court of human rights positioning itself as
3:31 pm
an international judicial authority is striving to play.
