ah, ah st. clashes, glock ports and strike action. the italian government is bracing for a wave of civil unrest as it rolls out. mandatory cove, it green passes for all workers. what we want is for this green possible to be revoked. if this doesn't happen, we will close the pole to think that the green pass is an unlawful tool and improve one that should not be forced upon the workers because it is discriminatory. billionaire, facebook boss, market zuckerberg is accused of election meddling as researchers for the new york post, claiming his donations aimed at boosting. turn out in u. s. swing states may have helped joe biden into the white house. u. s. judge accuses a dc jail of violating human rights by denying medical care to a suspect in the capitol hill. riots we hear from a lawyer representing several of the defendants and in a world 1st,

the moscow metro rolls out a facial recognition system, allowing passengers to pay their fair just by standing in front of the camera, our correspondent tried it out. ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i am sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, transport workers in italy are threatening strike action over a new coven, green pass system starting today. all workers have to show proof of vaccination or negative coven test, or go without pay is comes despite a relatively low nationwide infection rate of $3000.00 per day. with around 40 daily deaths, dock workers in triest are outraged over the drastic new measures and are vowing to block the cities port in protest. lisa, we're here to protest against the green pass for workers within that, the green pass is an unlawful tool,

an improper one that should not be forced upon the workers because it is discriminatory. so we are demonstrating against this government degree. what we want is for this green pass law to be revolt. if this doesn't happen, we will close the port. we don't want to go up against the government and we certainly don't want a book to port because we have families to feed whatever happens even if the government makes a u turn and delays, the implementation of the law. we will strike any way to send a message to the city and above all, to show solidarity with all italian workers. mass rallies are planned in several italian cities throughout this friday and place our bracing for a repeat of last week's violent scenes in rome. ah .

despite the public outcry, the italian government is refusing to back down. it's already met the national 80 percent target for vaccinations, meaning heard immunity has been achieved, but the government wants to go further parties. charlotte davinsky has more on the public resistance to covet measures across europe. when eighty's government last month warned that it would bring in the new green card, no pay decree. it expected the announcement to trigger an enormous acceleration. vaccinations, however, that has not materialized while job rates didn't initially increase the has since been a steep decline. and with around 2500000 workers still unvaccinated, there are concerns, more violent rallies could ensue. italians are not the only ones who have been taking to the streets to express their anger. hearing france weekly protests against health policies and mandatory vaccination of health workers are continuing

. there's a concern that those protests could be about to get a boost to off defrances government. and now that he wants to extend the use of health policies up until possibly the summer of 2022 already voices of discontent. arising faculty to packaged from do, they're not going to have a carte blanche until the 31st of july 2020 to parliament must decide it's an attack on freedom's individual and collective freedoms. in a parliamentary democracy, it can only be done through parliament. those plans by the french government also seem to be in contrast to advice that was recently given by the country's own scientific council. it suggested that it to covey situation remains under control. health passes could pin, dumped fast sooner. in this scenario, the cobra pass system could be canceled between november the 15th and the end of

the year. if there are low case levels nationally. it's a waiting phase in order to prepare to cancel the past system, which will allow us to limit the risk and scale of a possible new wave in december, january, adding fuel to the fire form friday in france, tests to show that your covey negative will no longer be free for those who are at and vaccinated. another carrot and stick measure, perhaps. but the issue isn't specifically about the coven jab. the coping pandemic is seeing government across europe flip flopping on policy, ignoring advice. it's come from their own scientific advisors and all of these says perhaps deepened divisions. enact many in europe, wondering if they governments are really working in their best interests. charlotte, even sky r. c. paris. we spoke with conservative commentator francesco jo, billing, he thinks italy's mandatory green passes,

will sever society and crash the economy. we are the only country, not only in europe, but the only country all over the ward, where you must have the it's the so called green pass to, to go to work it and disease quite irrational. without the green pass. you can enter in a restaurant without a green pass. you can enter it in a hotel without a green pass. you can take a, i'd be trained, for example, if you want to move from rama to milan or, or from a role monopoly within i is be drain. you can to keep the, if you don't have that green pass, what is happening in our country and i think is very dangerous. also from his social point of view is that we are creating some citizens that are the ac, didn't and other than without the vaccines a 1000 b c disease. and he's not correcting the democracy. milanni the 2nd sci fi in italy, and the 25 percent of the work are inside of the public transportation. in land. they don't have vaccine, they don't have the green pass. so probably they're going to paralyze the public

transportation in milano, but we can also talk about the logistics system, not only the part of to ask that, but also the south of people in many big parks and other logistic important industry where the 2015 percent of the workers that they don't have seen. so we have to decide what to do. we can stop our, our economy, and we don't understand why, how our government be pushing these music is very strongest. youtube has back tracked on its decision to remove a video in which a senior british politician spoke out against covered restrictions with the full story from london. here's our corresponding shoddy at which touched the former member of cabinet david davis, who also is one of the chief negotiators of exiting the a, you quite a big politician here in the united kingdom. anyway, you chip accused him of supporting and spouting medical, a miss information violating that policy, but didn't actually specify what he was talking about,

all sorts of things throughout. at the pandemic, the government's handling of it, the restrictions puts in place also vaccination, passports as well. and he was arguing that the government has these draconian actions that failed to actually achieve their aims. now, it didn't seem to be anything too extreme, but you chief thought the absolute opposite. in fact, contacted big brother watch, which was the company that uploaded the video in the 1st place, telling them that they were taking it down. now that is a decision that they have since reversed due to all of the approval. we quickly removed flags content that violates our community guidelines, including covered 19 content that explicitly contradicts extra consensus from local health authorities or the world health organization, with millions of hours of videos uploaded on our site each day. sometimes we make the wrong coal. now it looks like the point of contention is about the vaccination passports, where david davis argued that they gave people that sense a false sense of security. because of course, even if you are double job,

it doesn't mean you can't stop the transmission of the virus to be clear though he himself is double vaccinated. here in the u. k. an is a strong believe of vaccinations. obviously though this move has totally inferior to david davis himself, he says is a potentially libelous deal. and his outrageous attack on free speech in the u. k. he says he was harpy spouting. and he think like what the anti vox is doing here in the u. k and says that big a tech companies are starting a really worrying trend of strangling and free speech. but putting this all into context then as the world is becoming all the more digitalized and on line, many platforms are trying to be a bit safer. a bit more putting people under the spotlight and scrutinizing them in terms of safety on that policy. but now the conversation has moved. will this rarely be a detriment to free speech in the u. k. while mandatory covered shots are becoming wide spread in europe,

doctors here in russia are trying to reach the same goal through public awareness. that's the mission of a long specialist who's videos. helping people understand the virus and stay safe them. well, they've earned him a huge online following his story. features in our documentary doctor covet which we will be showing in full throughout the day. here's a preview. obviously jude ocean was on what it says. i'm a little so i 1st with school funds, there was your properties was from work soon he got home with

the same i was given your cisco logo actually to 3 years of senior to one wonderful schedule student john coach if it's a better one. what do you think that us to, i mean one i visited was to live by facebook. c e o mike mark zuckerberg may have used his vast wealth to swing the 2020 presidential election in jo biden's favor. this is according to study from new york post. researchers found that his donations to electoral organizations heavily favored left leaning districts in swing states that the democrats ended up winning

. the 2020 election was stolen, it was likely bought by one of the wealth, wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes. he found the targeted private takeover of government election operations by nominally non partisan but demonstrably ideological nonprofit organizations. we should stress that there is no suggestion of illegality in soccer. briggs, donations and the facebook boss himself says he only gave to non partisan organizations. last month, priscilla and i donated $300000000.00 to support election officials with the infrastructure. they need to administer the vote to day, we're committing an additional $100000000.00 to make sure that every jurisdiction that needs funding to help people vote safely can get is one of the main beneficiaries of the facebook funding was the center for election innovation. and research, and it has hit back at the new york post's claims saying it was proud to assist both republicans and democrats in the election journalists,

danielle lazar thinks private funding plays a pivotal role in the outcome of american elections. this is the privatization of elections. and when you privatize elections, essentially you undermine their neutrality and their objectivity. so it's very possible that this money helps your voters a certain direction and help determine the outcome of the election. the electoral process in the us is a mess. this is the only country where this takes place. election should be entirely government funded. they should be entirely neutral and objective. they should not favor any party whatsoever. and there's no reason to have an injection of private money of this magnitude. there should be reform process, but it's just not going to happen because the system is completely broken and it's totally out of control. while billionaires are free to try and swing elections,

those who write against voting results can end up in prison. and on that story, a u. s. judge has ruled that a jail violated the rights of a suspect in the capitol hill, riots by denying him medical treatment. christopher world is being held in a washington dc detention facility on multiple criminal charges over his role in the january 6. the riots he has a form of blood cancer and broke his wrist while in custody in may. a doctor prescribed surgery which is still not being provided. after reviewing the case, the federal judge held prison officials and civil contempt and branded the delay in treatment, inexcusable. i find that the civil rights of the defendant have been abused. i don't know if it's because he's a january 6 defendant or not. but i find this matter should be referred to the attorney general of the united states for a civil rights investigation into whether the dc department of corrections is violating the civil rights of january 6, defendants in this and may be other cases. we spoke with attorney albert watkins, who is representing several suspects in the capitol hill, writes, he says,

the case is part of an overall disrespect shown towards the detainees. there are incidents which really is january 16, which those who are involved in january for being treated with a relatively elements degree of disrespect by individuals who are working for facilities which hours the january 6 the problem, the problem will be taken care of and shoulder if for problem, we should have taken care of insurance. i should do in order to be taken care of and people will be compound to address the consequences of not living up to their obligations pursuant to a federal judge. for the more than 650 people have been arrested nationwide for

alleged involvement in the january 6th riots back then, supporters of the outgoing president, donald trump stormed the capital building, trying to stop congress from certifying jo biden's election victory of the original number 78 are still in jail, pending trial, most on charges of assaulting police officers have to the federal ruling. the d. c . corrections department responded, saying it's committed to in touring. all inmates have access to health care in a timely and efficient manner. but albert watkins again believes that problems go far beyond a lack of medical care and show when you have an individual with no criminal history who are being confined in dc in overcrowded facility with restrictions in college and personnel who are working on making the lives of those defendant, every call or should not taking those measures necessary to fully protect them from others who are confined it traverses from

confined to torture. and that's the problem. a blast has struck a mask in afghanistan with conflicting reports, deciding hospital sources, putting the number as high as 33 dead and 57 injured. we need to warn you the following images might be disturbing. blast happened at a sheer mosque in the city of kandahar during the weekly friday prayer, where large crowds were gathered. comes a week after an explosion tore through another sheer mosque in the north of the country. isis k risk claimed responsibility for that attack. taliban has said that an investigation into this latest blast is ongoing. still become in the program. us cities are boosting of their police budgets. months after all of those calls to defend the police that comes after a surge in violent crime more than that story. after short break,

this is our international the, ah, i oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great in the world corrupted. you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.

ah ah ah ah, oh. oh, come back. this is our t international. now, commuters here in moscow can now travel on the subway just by showing their faces the russian capitals, unrolling a new facial recognition, payment system. the 1st time it's been done on such a scale or cheese. dimitri pal went to check it out. pasco special, so silver is one of the oldest subway systems in the world that they saw all the way back to the 19 thirty's. however, since then it's never stopped growing,

evolving and modernizing in today. it's why the regarded as one of the most beautiful and technologically advanced subway systems on the planet with millions of passengers every day. one of the key features of the moscow metro system has become the numerous ways people can pay for their right. they can use our universal transit card like this, their regular bank card, a smartphone smart watch, and now even just their face to pay for a ride called face pay. the system uses the latest biometric technology to make getting into the metro was hassle free as possible. a camera scans the passengers faces at the turnstile, matches the biometric data to his database, finds each person's account an associated bankcard to charge the fair and the gates open. all that takes about as long as a regular card transaction at the gate, just a 2nd or 2. the say space system has been in test mode since december 2020 with over 15000 people taking part in that says, however, as of october 15th,

the system will become available to all passengers and work on all $241.00 stations of the moscow metro transit authorities are already hailing this as the largest scale application of such technology in the world. but is everyone ready to switch to the new method? let's ask some passengers. no divorce, why not? it's tap into the future. it's practical and convenient. you don't have to carry account around 20. that's why it, he's it rich there super pull. some odds, it goes right, negative things about face pay technology. for example. they suggest someone can use a picture of you to pay. so i'll use this technology a bit later when it's been tested in real life. at the window of pneumonia, it is practical, but at the same time a bit suspicious. i'm pretty conservative. plan comes to such things. i don't like the idea can in my face. i think it may be used to control you while it seems not every one as eager to use the new system. yet. however, the creators say there's really nothing to fear can yes, of course,

who protect. hello, the pastoral dates and stuart securely banking dates which is used for payments a still by banks. we have nothing to do with it. and the photos that passengers download in our app to register. i still has biometric keith, so we did not. so a passenger photos, transit, all authorities say the face based system will never become mandatory or replacing of the other payment system. they will all stay in place and they say it's just a nice little bonus. but the authority to hope that it becomes popular and that the new biometric technology will cut down on wait time for the millions of people that use the moscow natural every single day to be issue power, gar, t. moscow. cities across the u. s. are raising their law enforcement budgets? this follows a surgeon crime since last year, when many local authorities cut spending following the defunded, the police movement in new york's new police budget is being hiked by 200000000

dollars in los angeles. about $41000000.00 has been added, funding was cut there after last year's georgia floyd writes, and the mayor of dallas, texas has reversed to police cuts, saying the city now needs to hire more officers. new york to saw a dramatic rise in crime during september, after nearly a $1000000000.00 was shifted from the police to other departments. los angeles has also suffered this year with the homicide rate hitting a 10 year high in the summer. and dallas is grappling with a spike in violent crime last year, homicide. there were up by one quarter hitting a 20 year record. there's a pattern scene across the u. s. in the murder of george floyd in minneapolis and the defendant, the police movement that followed. but retired a police officer, dominic izzo thinks money alone, won't solve the problem. you're a mirror and you're going to appease the mob. and you're going to say, yes, we're going to define our agency that monetarily as taking away from the support of

the village. because you're not keeping the police equipped, educated, a, whatever they need. and you're also sending in the police officers the message to police officers off. i don't value you versus the opinions of, of the angry mob. so you're, you're taking it on both those fronts. we already have, we do have a problem with bad apples and law enforcement and we need to have a stricter hiring, pause policy. we need to have better training, but people's keep thinking that law enforcement, your, your 1st responder, st cops is the number one, prevention to solve all crime problems when they're not looking at the judges are not looking at the public defender's are not looking at that. the judicial system and they're, they're thinking that either taking away or putting more funding in is gonna solve these problems in the 1st place. it's, it is such a ridiculous problem. it's never going to end, but it's, it's political. it is purely political. that's the biggest problem we're having berlin's sparkling new air hub is dealing with

a full passenger load for the 1st time. after a decade, long, construction, delay, and billions, and over spending it opened at the height of the pandemic and with restrictions now being lifted. brandenburg airport is buckling under the strain as r t is peter oliver reports. the october school holidays here in germany. we're always going to be the 1st real test for berlin's believe good. you, airport. it's not going great. the new b r is a stunner. dear to hand in your luggage the evening before your flight and then turn up for hours in advance for the flight. you might as well go by car to leipzig and fly from there on time capital city airport. can it get even worse at the b r, the b e r airport is sinking into chaos. and now it is also at risk of insolvency without state aid, the airport is hardly viable. avoid b r and take another airport just because they stand on staff. the guests are having to turn up at the airport for hours in advance, and that with children,

passengers being advised to arrive 4 hours before their flights as a mixture of covey restrictions, and staff shortages bytes, g to increase passenger volume at the start of the holiday season we expect long awaits at jackins and security control at berlin brandenburg airport. for this reason, we would like to ask you to be at the airport at least 240 minutes before departure . obviously this isn't pleasant for travelers, but it's just the latest misstep in a long line of problems for this transport hub, which only opened last year after some serious delays. originally scheduled to start flights in 2011 plans for the airport. started in the early ninety's in 2009 . the budget for the project was just under 3000000000 euro, which with hindsight seems wildly optimistic. the construction came in over $7000000000.00 euro with additional work still required that will cost close to

another $3000000000.00 even after 3 parliamentary committee investigations. no one is taken responsibility for the airport debacle. it became a job quite a few years ago. already. a was budget, i think initially around $2000000000.00 euros odd build airport, us were generally an airport of the size would cost gold. and then it was for little, with sakes. and i think the current total now including all the subsidies regarding to wrapped around $7000000000.00. and it's going and they're talking about having to put another 2000000000 subsidies into just keep it and running until 2026. ah, for that kind of money they could have built for airports. this is a public project right from beginning or i should not, for instance, for a from begin was supposed be a private project and nobody wanted to do it in this location, which is why this the government could over. but the government made a bloody disaster of it,

and one of the problems with the government is doing it is a, they don't really know what they're doing. and b, there's nobody that's really going to be held responsible for this in the end, which is really our problem. this is just one unmitigated disaster. these are unprecedented times. of course, as people start to travel again, as covert restrictions are lifted, but the chaos with berlin's airport predate anybody having ever heard of the corona virus. it continues to give, kicking to those stereotypes of german efficiency that are so popular still with people that don't live here. it's estimated that between the 8th and the 24th of october, around 1000000 passengers, including myself, next week, will fly through berlin brandenburg airport. the only advice from airlines on the airport themselves is arrive early and expect delays. peter, all of our tea, berlin, are that those are for me this hour. i will be back in about 31 minutes with another full and fresh look at your news. this is our to international

ah, managers, financing a quantitative easing, a central plank support dying academy. i'm going to call them right now and say stop to madness. when europe is mentioned, what do you think a place an idea, a common place with diverging ideas? maybe you think of the european union, think what you wish, but europe is in crisis. it must choose between being an ideological construct or a place with real people and real needs hey folks looking forward to this one next up we got ron and clint howard. i've met both these guys individually over our adult lives, but i don't think i've ever talked to them together and they've come together for

the most appropriate purposes. they, britain, a memoir and the stars of it are not ron and glen. it's their mother and father gene and ran shower, who raised don't. right. and also to 2 of the more creative guys i know. ron and clint howard. and lou boys is the name of the why not memoir, right after this one, dennis miller plus $130.00 ne bugs to out of the dennis miller was the one you know, i don't obviously did not meet rance and jean howard, but i'm fascinated by them because they raised to very good man, i've met these cats both in a cursory sense and i, i find them to be admirable individuals and i'm, i'm fascinated by their parents keeping them in the maelstrom that can't be hollywood in keeping them. so no.
