just such a good offer. i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that ah ah katelyn separately the colors pushed, yvonne has been released from custody, but he's required to attend that expedition. hearing and italy later in october. it follows his detention over night after almost 4 years on the run with european lawmakers, branding the arrest, a disgrace. canada's largest province outlaws. cobit related protests, new schools, and medical facilities. the critics call the ban in quote, back and infringement of civil liberties. sitting here in office, jo biden's approval rating, slum following a raft of devices, policies with the give us president that less popular than his predecessor and possible future rival,

donald trump. germany starts shooting sex jobs. so this weekend, off the 60 days of anglo merkel at the helm, we begin our special election coverage. ah, hello, live for moscow. this is art, the international i am calling bray would you will use this out 1st, then the separatists lead of spain catalonia region has been released from italian custody and is now free to travel. however, he must return to the island of sardinia on october. the 4th to attend an extradition co hearing. the former caselanos already president was arrested on thursday in italy, a move that became possible off that he was stripped of immunity. european parliament em pay. he's wanted on a range of charges including physician and has been sold by the spanish authorities for nearly 4 years. hundreds gathered in barcelona outside the italian conflicts protested attention and demand his release. correspondent, failure to try and get down to farmer,

discuss the reaction to the events of europe, where politicians have branded his arrest a disgrace to spanish disgrace just doesn't stop. neither does the european disgrace. solidarity with carlos put him on the spanish state is abusing the you arrest war. and by using it in this way, allowing people to exercise their democratic right to vote is not a crime. there is only one way to still be insistent repression of the states. amnesty self determination and independence total supports mr. president, there's definitely could be the turning point in the fate of cadillac independence theater calls pushed him on and it could be the end of freedom for him. he was arrested upon arrival on the italian island of sardinia, where he was supposed to take part in a meeting that's about capital one, full court, just cultural stuff. nothing to do with independent well on friday. and italian

court is deciding the next steps in the case as mr. put him on. and one of the very likely scenarios is extradition to spain, where he's wanted on several charges including misuse of funds and sedition, which could mean 25 years behind bars for the former cadillac independence feeder. and you may wonder, how's that possible if he was supposed to be protected by parliamentary immunity as a member of the european parliament? well, earlier this year and march, in fact mister, put him on. and his allies were stripped of that parliamentary immunity by other m, p. 's, even though a 3rd of them were firmly against it and that was a very tense day and that parliament building he should be at these dates of europe in parliament and long story unity but the europe in parliament lot more than that . but he didn't get the results, it is also long to your marketing research goes on. well,

we may be opening the door to other member states to prosecute emmy piece from representing minority this for probably to go. you know, these is, these would be a tremendous expressive and the government should not open quite as we heard him. me. that's because your mom's been wanted by the spanish authorities for several years now and always stemming from capital and you paid for independence wide back to the event that were happening exactly 4 years ago in september 2017. when the catalan regional parliament led by calls put them on, initiated a referendum, other regions independence it went on despite the constitutional court in madrid, declaring it illegal. i remember how a vast majority of voters back then supported independence. even though the unionists decided to boycott that referendum and it all resulted in a very brutal crack down on the independence movement,

with voters being severely beaten by police politicians being jailed at that time. some people were even saying that these were giving flashbacks of the pool spain of the middle of the 20th century. and i remember how it all ended. so now catalonia and never became independent and even it's autonomy was taken away. 5 madrid, some of the independent leaders were jailed, but calls pushed him on,

was able to flee spain. however, the spanish thought he's decided to change their tactics. and let's see what the italian court has to say about that. let's get more reaction then to this. we can talk to david cockburn, who's a former bricks party, and you give me a scholar. welcome back to our tea. what do you make of mr. put you to mom's arrest? well, i think it said exactly what, one of the reasons we left the european union. you had very little protection as a member of parliament, the parliament could take away your immunity whenever it wanted. so you know, you get no protection that is not the same as the united kingdom. you're protected in your cable, freedom of speech, the parliament. and they said, all the most important thing of all is the european promise should not be interfering in the internal affairs of spain. they've done it in britain by interfering with scotland and that to disgrace. i know the same things happening in

spain. they should not be interfering in this. and also the other one is very, very dangerous. indeed, it just needs a magistrate to sign the thing off. you go, the things he was accused of. rebellion were not a crime in germany. they were not a crime in belgium. i don't believe so they're basically pumped up this, this charge and added some stuff about financial charges i simply to, to, to make sure he is exported. and that is wrong. this is now a matter between spain and italy, and i would you expect the italian court to rule when he has to go back next month? well, it's all going to be done on the basis. what's in the interest of the italian government regarding the repeating union, and how much pressures being told them by, by the european union, and so positive taken away, the man's demands protection as a member of the european parliament. so i don't think your chances are good. when

put some on the strength of his m. p. immunity, back in march, the general court said there was no immediate risk of arrest. why do you think he was detained? that what was the point will be at temporarily was any for few hours. all in all couldn't still was just looking to find any other excuse to, to rest and come up with some idea to, to, in order to send it back to space. but it should not be acting on the european, the ras, one is pulling in the united can be, were exported to countries are very little evidence whatsoever. and that's one of the major reasons we wanted to leave the european. what do you think this is going to do for the talks between capital loan in the capital lands and the government in madrid? the talk, somebody just resumed, now that there's been this arrest, what message do you think? madrid trying to send to catalonia basically that they don't

want them to remain within the kingdom of spain, and they don't want them to separate. as far as i'm concerned, this is not the business of the united kingdom, is not the business of the union. this is an internal matter for the spanish state to decide. i'm the very boss all the spanish state, but very, very bad. the european union is interfering in sovereign states, internal politics. they didn't be doing it and scoffing they've done it to ireland . and it's being an absolute catastrophe. they should mind when businesses is a trading organization they should get on with that and keep out of politics, factories relaxed, they were to interfering in the internal britain. and they still are going to leave it that we've been following, mr. put them on the fight for the past 4 years will continue to do so for now. there david cope. and thanks for joining us on the next the

canadian province of quebec, his band, cobit related realities, new schools, and medical vaccination facilities. he decides to protect children and health workers from what they call the dangerous impact of demonstrations. but critics, with that it's denying people their right to protest. the ban covers demonstrations all their incitement within 50 meters of schools and clinics, offenders face of thousands of dollars in fines. medical and school staff, though a still allowed to protest in their workplace on the bottom, follows a number of anti vaccine protest. south side schools in quebec's largest city, montreal, the head of the province that his patience had reached its limits after some rallied across the country turn violent to contribute. lauren chen and lawyer julius grey look at the reactions to the moon. according to premier le go, this bill is necessary because he alleges that protesters could be intimidating or preventing access to students and patients. not everybody is in favor of this proposal though, and some are claiming that it would be a violation of free speech and freedom of assembly. the problem is that i cannot

see why such a laws not because if the demonstration is violent or culture was loud, it can already disperse, under the criminal code and under various municipal law. so there's absolutely no reason for it because i think they want to stop the message from being late. and if that's the case, then it's a very serious, controversial contravention of the charge. and for anyone who does believe that such a law would infringe on the canadian charter of rights and freedoms, which does guarantee freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. remember that any and all of the freedoms outlined in the charter are subject to what it calls reasonable limitations by the government. and as we have seen time and time again, when different court cases have alleged that certain code restrictions violate human rights in canada, such as the canadian florentine hotels,

it does seem that canadian judges are of the opinion that if something is done supposedly in the name of stopping the spread of cove it than any and all limitations on canadian rights and freedoms are in fact, reasonable axiom protests of also gripped australia with a 5th day of rallies to melbourne against mandatory jobs for all construction workers. if i were to single that building sites after a spike in corona virus cases right place to arrested hundreds of demonstrations during the week can 5 pepper spray and rubber bullets less than a year off the taking off as jo biden's, popularity has already slumped to below that of his predecessor and possible rival at the next election, donald trump, and just 3 months biden's ratings have collapsed by more than 10 percentage points . more on that next, we've done a quarter. a pandemic spiraling out of control historic military defeat and a border crisis to boot. americans are starting to think things weren't as bad as

they thought under former president. donald trump, the mounting issues on all fronts of lead to the surprise conclusion that trump is now seen as being as good a president as biden suggesting the honeymoon is being replaced with buyer's remorse. first on the list, afghanistan, the washington shameful defeat, that concluded its 20 year long war was the last straw. for many americans, the disastrous withdrawal of us troops and surrendering of millions of dollars of military tax to the taliban. had republicans and democrats alike demanding the biden administration, be held accountable. in the news. the

news. the afghan a stand might feel like a world away from america, but there is no shortage of problems at home under biden's administration. earlier this month, biden announced a number of vaccine testing and mask mandates, which is proving to be the latest american political spac connected to the pandemic effecting around 2 thirds of the u. s. workforce. it wasn't long before the cries that biden is violating people's freedom of choice, were heard 20 for republican state attorney generals or even threatening lawsuits. really disruption divides country. it increases the division in terms of vaccination when we should all be together along the campaign trail. biden.

promised to make the country southern border a more humane place. instead, thousands of migrants are living in horrific condition. like under the del rio international bridge, the immigration crisis is getting worse as thousands more asylum seekers come knocking at the us his door. at the top it all off biden's approach hasn't changed much from that of the trump administrations. kids are still being put in cages. and despite biden's many promises to would be green card holders, many migrants are being deported back home without getting their chance at asylum. ah ah. ready with a track record like biden's and not even a whole year in office. it's no wonder over half of america thinks the country is

on the wrong track. here without see a big weekend ahead for germany, then it's time to choose a new chancellor. has the sunsets from the era of angle. of course we'll look at legacy and our special election coverage in less than 2 minutes. ah . are not about restricting, but that's actually a really good thing because the great thing about it being available to everybody think a bit more like a public news via this is our work advantage. anybody in the world can view for free? oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer relation? community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah. hello again. sunday we'll see german voters take the country into a new chapter of leadership as they decide who replace chancellor anglo merkel. she leads office after 16 years and power.

the candidates held the final debate on thursday, but at a rally, surely before the event merkel was booed for backing one of the candidates psalm. and last, yes, it says success. germans have found some pretty creative ways to say good bye to the chancellor to toymaker produced 500 special edition teddy bears in her image, a feature miracles, trademark, bob and her signature, diamond, diamond shaped hand gesture and also in berlin. some people gathered to paint colorful portraits of the outgoing lead up a medical career course has been full of ups and downs, as she's tackled a raft of major problems from the pandemic to being spied on by the united states or europe correspond and looked back at the merkel era, after almost 16 years in charge, the time has come for angle merkel to step down as german chancellor. drawing the

curtain on a political korea of over 3 decades. coming to office in 2005. she's the 3rd longest serving german chancellor of all time. only her mentor helmut kohl held the position longer in postwar, germany, anglo, myrtle has achieved something that most politicians haven't. at the time of leaving office. she has remained popular with a large chunk of the voters. no small achievement. when you look at the challenges she's had to face me, germany, whether the financial storm that began with the collapse of layman brothers back in 2008 better than most countries. a 480000000000 euro bailout for the banks and managing to keep on employment figures from spiking to high sore angle american reelected in 2009 then came the collapse of grief. and the

fear that could never say any of its colossal, that pushed the single currency close to the brink and a tidal wave of criticism crushing down on merkel and her government. mm. you 2013. so whistleblower edward snowden reveal that the united states had kept detailed tubs on senior german officials, including chancellor merkel. her phone being tapped by washington. protests on the streets of germany were followed up with more diplomatic comment from the chancellor. have always made it clear to the u. s. president. buying amongst friends is not acceptable to me. one of the biggest moments of angle americans tenure came in 2015 with the refugee crisis. her statement via shuffle. so we can do it. she did a policy which saw hundreds of thousands of refuge fleeing the conflict and syria coming here to germany. something which saw anglo merkel revealed by some reviled

by others. each daughter guns, i simply say that germany is a strong country. we have already managed so many things we can do it. and whenever there is something sending you no way need to cross that bridge, which is need to work in it, is these are going to involve the door, so we have not. migrant glows in such forms before and what we are seeing right now has no relevance to the presence room. that's when this is merkel repeat constantly . we will cope with it, but she is not offered. a structured solution is on the chancellor medical actions in regard to refugees change the makeup of the german parliament is opposition to her policies on asylum allowed the anti migrant alternative for germany party to win seats in the bond. the stag, becoming the largest opposition party to her government, and making things difficult to her when addressing the chamber. i

me, there's being no easy route to the finish line for angle american though her government policies on the coven pandemic set off a small but vocal opposition. that at one point threatened to storm the bottom. the stag, the me me, me, me, the retreat from afghanistan provided the chancellor with more problems in her final weeks with accusations of rifts within her cabinets over how best to evacuate people from cobble,

and then issues over who had been able to get home german playing because this is the, if we will continue the evacuation operation for as long as possible in order to help afghans who worked with us for security for freedom, for the rule of law and development to leave the country. we currently have a very pragmatic procedure. we only carry out the security check upon entry to the country. we have now identified 4 cases of people who had already been deported border now in germany. she prepares to vacate the chancellor's office just behind me. alarm bells ringing loudly and angle americans christiy and democratic union party as they slump to record lows in the polls. the chancellor's final address to the bone, the stag, which became they attempt to promote c d. u candidate arm and lush. it as her successor ended in a barrage of hackles. but it's not just about foreign policy and nato in europe.

my thought is, what if i have been with this gym and boone dissent for with 30 is here is the heart of the democracy. and this is exactly what will be discussed me. despite the obvious challenges, the merkel years will go down as a time of relative stability for most germans. her policies have made it easier for families to balance. children with korea's employment figures have remained steady while the economy is enviable in the u. into nationally, germany has taken a far more prominent role under miracles leadership than it is had in modern times . one of the big concerns right now though, is that with no clear successor to angle america in terms of policy or certainly international clout, what will become of those years of stability that was seen when to her rein feature, all of her r, t, berlin, and merkle, is

a big political shoes to fill to what do you consider just a snapshot of what she stared, the use power house through over the last decade and a half a jerry had time in charge. merkel worked for american presidents for french leaders and 5 british prime ministers from george w bush to joe biden, from jacques chirac to emmanuel. i'm a chrome and from tony blair to bowers johnson. multiple wars have dominated headlines in that time to including afghanistan, syria, indiana, and he's also played a key role to help save the euro currency off the 2008 financial collapse. and in the aftermath of lockdown spearheaded an unprecedented, fully, a neuro e. u wide. pandemic recovery fund. so what is her legacy as far as germans on the streets concerned? we've been out to ask it's been a long time. i've experienced 3 chance please. i call schmidt and merkel. it's strange when you're $54.00 and you've only had 3 chancellor. i think she did a lot of good things for the country and also made a lot of strange decisions with the c. d. u is not my parties,

but i think she can happily retire. i will miss mrs. mccullough, because i'm not satisfied with the current candidates. i would have preferred her. i think mrs. miracle has done a good job, very charismatic. she's accepted everywhere in the world. not a city you border. but you can admire the woman for longer than too long. mrs. merkel should have gone 4 years ago now. she has lost her way. she did a lot of good in the 12 years before, but now you can see that she's out of steam. or here's how the election process is going to work over the weekend. voters don't directly choose the chancellor. well, they have is 2 votes to decide the next parliament. the 1st ballot is for candidates in that constituency, and there are $299.00 constituencies across germany. the 2nd ballot that they get is for a political party of $47.00 of them running facies father only party, secure, more than 5 percent of the nationwide can enter the bonus tag. as we mentioned,

to favorite to take over the chance to ship it on and lashes. medical successor is party chief of the christine democrats. as to where he stands. he's a defender of medical immigration policies which have tightened on site rules in recent years. and he wants germany to maintain a strong and independent foreign policy, but he has also suffered a number of gaps during his pre election campaign. a cd you party member max also told us that medical made it for catastrophic decisions during 16 years of health. germany is very well liked in the world or it's because it gives a lot of money to always is in the forefront of don't our conferences. it always agrees that it raises from, from the u degrees in the us on many things. so in that sense, we are still liked, but we have lost much of an industrial base. the country is countries in decline. we have and not less done for catastrophic decisions in her under her watch. this

was the energy, the complete change in energy policy, which we call an event in 2011. then there was of cost the euro. this asked the failed measure to, to save the euro, which ended in disaster in a deep depression. and the european south and in division enough cars 3rd was c and controlled immigration policy and migration policy. 2015 and now it's a wrong approach is covered. so it really has a disastrous record which may not be perceived in the world. she'd never formulated german positions, she come up, i think she basically wants to, i'm going to disappear as a political union. and so do quite a few people in the ruling class of the governing class in germany. i mean this is really a weird psychology. so i, i can't find anything good in terms of major decisions. well,

hoping to get the climate course heard before, voters make that choice. berlin was the rally that activists granted. tomba chose to join just one of many organized around the world in the 1st friday future event to be staged since they were suspended at the start. the pandemic. one is raising awareness ahead of the german election also in the sites were world leaders gathered in new york at the un general assembly activist and climate change deny ab, naomi zeit says that tomba, participation was more about getting votes for the greens of the german election and climate change until their goal, last mail, myself give in and for most back find it even though that have not been fine, is being germany to say she's role in the election and to what degree degree posse loving the promotion to go, what addition i using that or abuse and to, to integrate this into

a policy even though it has nothing to do with really taking, taking into account the bonds of climate s. but it has more to do with just getting the bose as many as they can to use as the symbol for the change for program and for science is just so wrong. so irrational say on the way next, scotty now he's in the table r t. america in washington after which i'll be here to update you on the stories were across here in the moscow newsroom. me, ah, man, across the board, the search and focus bittman. ball. but me call.
