8:06 am
francesco job dealer. he thinks italy's mandatory green passes will sever society and crash the economy. we are the only country, not only europe, but the only country all over the world where you must have the so called green pass to, to go to work and then use quite the irrational without the green fast. you can enter in a restaurant without the green pass, you can enter in a hotel without a green pass. you can think i'd be trained, for example, if you want to move from rama to me or from roman napoli with an i b train. you can see keith, if you don't have the green, what is happening in our country and i think is very dangerous. also from a social point of view is that we are creating some teachers that are the ac, didn't and other than without the vaccines a 1000 b, c, d. and he's not correcting the democracy. we learned the 2nd sci fi immediately, and the 25 percent of the work are inside the public transportation in land. they
8:07 am
don't have the 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 in the south of there are many big parking and other logistic important industry where the 2015 percent of the workers that they don't have the vaccine. so we have to decide what to do. we can stop our, our economy, and we don't understand why, how government he's pushing. reason music isn't, is very strongest. youtube has backtracked 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 correspondent, shoddy at which dusty the full mouth mental 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,
8:08 am
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 the restrictions put in place also vaccination passports as well. and he was all doing 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 up rule. we quickly removed flags content that violates our community guidelines, including coven, 19 content that explicitly contradicts extra processes 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
8:09 am
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 believer of vaccinations. obviously though, this move has totally infuriated david davis himself, he says it's a potentially libelous deal. and his outrageous attack on free speech and 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 a free speech. but putting this all into context then as the world is becoming all the more did live 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 the policy. but now the conversation has moved. will this really
8:10 am
be a detriment to free speech in the u. k. while mandatory covered shots are becoming widespread 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 to stay safe, have earned him a huge online following his story features in our documentary doctor covert which we will be showing in full throughout the day. here's a preview. ah, beautiful job ocean with what it says i'm. it was a little bit of an initial, it annoys the vehicle from a freshman which total would you the guy that would i guess if that's something you would preview them with a cool got us percentage of us. your properties was from watson

8:12 am
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 world's wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes. he found that a targeted private takeover of government election operations by law, mentally, non partisan, but the most of the ideological nonprofit organizations. that's important that we should stress that there's no suggestion of illegality and soccer bergs 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. today we're committing an additional $100000000.00 to make sure that every jurisdiction that needs funding to help people vote safely can't get is. the report has infuriated republicans who accused
8:13 am
the facebook boss of an election meddling to soccer burke. he spent over $400000000.00 through these quote, non profits to quote help with election administration. but what they would do is they would require certain things to be done like mass mail balloting bout harvey things. and they would focus on partisan voter turnout basically that was totally unacceptable. our elections for sale. did mark zuckerberg purchase the wisconsin presidential election. one of the main beneficiaries of the facebook funding was the center for election innovation and research. and it has hit back under the claims saying that it is proud to assist both republicans and democrats in the election journalist daniel lazar, thanks. private funding played 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
8:14 am
possible that this money helps your voters in a certain direction and help determine the outcome of the election. the electoral process from 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, u. s. judge has ruled that jail violated the rights of a suspect in the capitol hill. riots by denying him medical treatment. christopher world is being held in
8:15 am
a washington dc detention facility on multiple criminal charges over his role in january. 6th bryant's 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 in 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, right. he says the case is part of an overall disrespect shown towards the detainees. incidence, which rarely ours since january 16, which those who are involved in january are being treated with
8:16 am
a relatively elements of disrespect by individuals who are working for facilities which hours the january 6. yeah, i know the problem will be taken care of in short order. if for problem taking care of insurance, i should do in order to be taken care of. and people welcome to address the consequences of not living up to their obligations pursuant to a federal judge for the it was in 650 people have been arrested nationwide for alleged involvement in january 6. right back then supporters of the outgoing president, donald trump, storm to the capital building, trying to stop congress from certifying joe biden selections victory out of the original number, 78, are still in jail, pending trial,
8:17 am
most on charges of assaulting police officers. after the federal ruling, the dc corrections department responded, saying it is committed to ensuring all in may have access to health care in a timely and efficient manner. that albert watkins again believes that the problems go far beyond the lack of medical care. and so when you have individuals with no criminal history, you are being confined in dc and over show that he was totally restrictions in place. and personnel who are working in making the lives of those defendants were simply not taking those measures necessary to fully protect them. from others for confine traverses from confinement to torture. and that's the problem. a blast has struck a mask in afghanistan with conflicting reports,

shallows. oh, well 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 has been done on such a scale are cheese. dmitri poke, went to check it out, pasco smash. oh so, so it's 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 and today it's widely 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 ride. they can use our universal
8:21 am
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 biometrics technology to make, getting into the metro as 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 car transaction at the gate, just a 2nd or 2. the se 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
8:22 am
to the new method? let's ask some passengers loanable. why not? it's step into the future. it's practical and convenient. you don't have to carry called around 20. that's why he's it rich there super pull some of the goals, right? negative things about face pe, 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. land comes to such things. i didn't like the idea, kenny, my face, i think it may be used to control you. while it seems not everyone as eager to use the new system yet, however, the creators say there's really nothing to fear can yes, of course, who we protect. hello, the pastoral date and sewer it securely banking data, 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 it as biometric, keith, so we did not. so
8:23 am
a passenger photos, transit authority say the face face system will never become mandatory or replacing of the other payment system. they will all stay in place and face phase is a nice little bonus, but their 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 metro every single day. to meet you 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 new york's new police budget is being hiked by $200000000.00. in los angeles about $41000000.00 has been added in funding was cut their last year after george floyd riots. and the mayor of dallas, texas has reversed police cuts saying that the city now needs to hire more officers . new york saw a dramatic rise in crime during september, after nearly
8:24 am
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, homicides. there were up by one quarter hitting a 20 year record. it is a pattern scene across the us since the murder of george floyd in minneapolis and the defunded, the police movement that followed. but retired police officer, dominic izzo thinks money alone will not 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
8:25 am
a problem with bad apples and law enforcement and we need to have a stricter hiring 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 digital 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 mass. 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 in over spending. it opened at the height of the pandemic and with restrictions now being lifted. brandenburg airport is buckling under the strain as artes. peter oliver reports the october school holidays here in germany. we're
8:26 am
always going to be the 1st real test for berlin's beleaguered view. apple. 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 pick 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 flight as a mixture of covey restrictions, and staff shortages by due to increased passenger volume at the start of the holiday season we expect long awaits at chickens and security control at berlin. brandenburg ports. for this reason,
8:27 am
we would like to ask you to be at the airport at least 240 minutes before departure . obviously, this isn't pleasant for travelers put, it's just the latest misstep in a long line of problems for the 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 on the 3000000000 euro, which with hindsight things 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 taking responsibility for the airport debacle. it became a joke quite a few years ago. are ready with budget, i think initially it around 2000000000 euros build the airport. that's what generally an airport of this size would cost gold. and then it was for the 6. and i
8:28 am
think the current total now including all the subsidies to go out to wraps around $7000000000.00. and it's going and they're talking about having to put another 2000000000 and subsidies into just to keep it running until 2026 for that kind of money. they could have built for airports. this is a public project right from the beginning are actually not credit for from the beginning. it 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 is 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,
8:29 am
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 are 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 or that is a from this hour i will be back at about 30 minutes with another full and fresh look juniors. this is our international, glad that you with ah, with

the surgeon's tactile perception as well as his or her eyesight helps a lot. because you need to make sure you don't break the thread well, placing the switches and robotic hands can't do that. not now. and i believe not ever, you can write software to the machine, but you cannot give a human tactile perception with for the 1st time, the by the ministration warnings are being given. a saying the united states should prepare for a fully nuclear iran. we will tell you what this means and what a nuclear program without constraint actually looks like in a fighting and a root is growing with no piece inside for the unrest. we will bring you the details from the ground. and how angry would you be if your child was sexually assaulted? i school 1st, if you knew the predator had adjusted the same thing a month prior at a neighboring school.
