requiring all workers to get vaccine or at least one p c. r. test weekly. penalties for employers start at $14000.00 per violation and could rise to $100000.00. several states have already opposed the measure and filed lawsuits against the biden administration. the requirements though, don't cover every one. there are some exemptions. those include people with certain medical conditions, pregnancy or religious beliefs. although the last one is challenging, has the belief must be deemed sincere enough to justify the exemption. it means it will be up to the employers in the united states to decide whether workers have a legitimate right not to get a shot. the company that owns the hospital has suspended more than 2000 employees for refusing vaccination. it says they'll be able to return to work as soon as they get a shot. however, victoria jensen says she's done everything necessary to keep staff and patient safe, but that her religious views were disregarded. i made

a choice for myself and i think everyone is should have the freedom to make their personal choice. i know a lot of people who did not want to get this vaccine but did it because they didn't feel they were pressured so much. they didn't feel like they could, could move for and they just went ahead and took it. and i respect their decision till their medical freedom. i respect people who don't agree with me. this is america. and it's a beautiful thing when you can disagree with each other. that's what freedom is. we don't have freedom if we don't have people that disagree. it is important to keep in mind that the un and w h o continue to stress that the pandemic can only be stopped through mass inoculation. germany has registered its highest ever daily spike and cove. it infections raising the prospect of new tough restrictions. more than 35000 cases have been reported in the past 24 hours. that's the world's 4th highest rate. the latest wave is taking on a toll is taking a toll on hospitals. with

a number of patients in intensive care, surging by 25 percent in recent days. one intensive care doctor in nuremberg says the health care system is being pushed to the brain. first, the situation is very tense. all the buds of fool. we're still trying to take care of the urgent cases as best we can on the one hand we treat many cobra patients, but we also have to provide the rest of the medical care that is normally done. hospitals all reach the limits, especially the larger hospitals that kind of for the most severe patients, both with and without cove, it for medical stuff, we're now in the 4th wave. annette is a huge burden. whatever. several german regions are now preparing hard hitting new measures to cope with the latest covered wave with more on that. here's our european correspondent peter oliver. cove and fig is in germany. do not make for good reading as the feed 4th wave is very low to whistles. if we do not acts this 4th wave will again bring a great deal of suffering. many people will fall seriously ill and die,
7:06 pm
and the health services will be under extreme pressure again. around 67 percent of the german population is fully vaccinated, but the numbers coming forward has plateaued in recent months. fronting politicians to fear that a new type of pandemic could be upon us. we are currently experiencing a pandemic of the unvaccinated, which is massive. there would be few karone of ours patients on intensive care units. if more people would let themselves be vaccinated, the big worry now is that those people who haven't gone for a vaccination have no intention of doing so. and that may well lead to more restrictions on what people who haven't been jobs can do. if the pandemic situation in hospitals worsens than further restrictions for unvaccinated people are possible, some of germany, 16 states on waiting for a federal decision to be made. and i've already put in place new measures is

months. peter, all of a r t villain. go now to the u. s. were recent local elections dealt a series of defeats for the biden administration in new jersey, a freelance truck driver out to democrat as president of the state senate. and there are increasing signs of a backlash against so called woke policies. dmitri polk takes up the story. well, it's looking like a case of you reap what you sow. turns out, forcing progressive policies on people who don't want them can lead to surprising results at the polls. case in point, the latest elections in the us, one of the biggest upsets, came from the state of virginia, where g o p. candidates, unexpectedly swept to victory and even established the 1st republican governor of virginia in over a decade. let's climb that hill together. let's reinvigorate our future. let's reiterate this amazing commonwealth of virginia. god bless you all,
7:10 pm
god bless to come. meanwhile, in other states, what was supposed to be a walk in the park for the democrats turned into a grueling battle with new jersey governor barely coming out on top to retain his seat. but if that wasn't already enough of a wake up call for democrats. what happened next in new jersey amounted to a political earthquake. edward derb, a truck driver who raised $10000.00 but apparently spent only a $153.31 on coffee and flyers managed to defeat the states. long time senate leader, democrat, steve sweeney, who had held his seat for over a decade and was considered the 2nd most powerful person in the state. it's like a movie script come to life. but how could something like this actually happen? well, the answer seems to be left. he policies. steve sweeney, has spent the last decade leading the ap her to make new jersey the must texted
7:11 pm
state in the nation. he's defeat displays, how garden state voters have rejected the socialist policies coming out of democratic control, trenton and are hungry for fiscal sanity once again. so it turns out that raising taxes the funding, the police and ramming critical race theory down school children's throats is not quite as popular as the left and biden's ministration would have you believe what went wrong is just stupid work this. i mean this, steve, from the police lunacy this, take abraham lincoln's name off of schools. i mean that people see that it's just really has a suppressive effect all across the country. and the democrats, some of these people need to go to a woke detox and throw something they're expressing a language that people just don't use and as backlash in a frustration of that. but while woke policies might seem like the likely explanation for why democrats lost so many seats, there are those who actually see the whole thing as a resurgence of white supremacy. even if the people elected are, you know, black,
7:12 pm
it's not the messaging folks. this country simply loves white supremacy. white women are thrilled to have a cause in our lane that we can throw ourselves behind critical race theory, panic in which we can wring their hands about white children and obfuscate our white supremacy. this is what white women have done best since the fifty's and will continue to do. dear media. republican voters are not excited by the issue of education. republican voters are excited by the issue of white supremacy. while identity politics doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, in the u. s. political landscape, it's safe to say that elections like the ones in virginia, new jersey, highlight the average americans feelings towards the left and biden's policies in particular. and it seems they want a long overdue change of tune. the domestic side is not good. i mean, i do not think the world politics is a direction to go. and we've even got disagreements within the democratic party, but it's almost like 2 different parties. and so you've got the progress of 6 that
7:13 pm
are pushing for one side. you've got modern on another side, and do it to me. i mean, they lost their unifying figure. the unifying figure was president trump and. and now they're still trying to run against president trumpet, who's not there. if things continue the way they are, i think you're going to see a huge, huge red wave. come come at the mid terms and you'll see both the senate and house flip. the bottom line is the need to listen to the people and what the people want . don't shut things down the people throat that they're not interested in. and that they've new not believe that london is gripped by scenes of violence with police and protesters clashing at the annual anti establishment 1000000 mask march. awe at the protest, organized by the anarchist group, anonymous flares and fireworks were set off and made
7:14 pm
a heavy police presence with officers frequently clashing with protesters in violent scenes, an effigy of forest. johnson could also be seen, set ablaze, and there are reports of one person shouting burton. boris burn the march, which has been held each year since 2020. it seems. 2012 seas anarchists and anti establishment protesters rally against government corruption, wealth and equality. and as of last year, corona virus restrictions still a head turning on its head. the dutch supreme court reverses a ruling which had ordered russia to pay $57000000000.00 to former shell holders of the now defunct oil giant food. you goes, find out why after the short break. ah,

o, o come back. a court in france has sentenced to manual microns disgraced, former body guards to a 3 year prison term among a number of crime. she was accused of excessive force against a protest her and an incident that was captured on film and went viral back in 2018 . it was a serious embarrassment for the press french president, and here's the ortiz charlotte davinsky with more in the case. well, this is alexander gabriella, who as you mentioned, was the deputy former chief of staff for president mack on this is the man who was chiefly organizing the protection of president mack on mainly doing his presidential campaign back in 2017. and then that 1st year and over that he was in
7:17 pm
office, this is a man who is incredibly close to not just a manual mat gone, but also to his wife. the court found him guilty of several offences including fraudulent use of diplomatic passport. and as you mentioned there assaulting to protesters during a made a protest. now this is something that happened back on the 1st of may, back in 2018 where bonilla had asked to go as an observer to watch what the police do during a protest. these are protested often turn quite violent at the fringes and he said he wanted to see how the police carry out their jobs. but instead of just observing what happened, he got involved and then assaulted some of the protesters that was captured in the video. as you can now see, ah. # with the elise
7:18 pm
a was accused at the time of a cover up because it didn't report this incident to the police and banal estate in his job. in fact, this incident, oh, we came to light about 2 months later when that video and then video similar to that from different angles, were reported to revealed in the french press causing a political earthquake here in france. present mack on, in the end, did or for this half hearted apology, which is 50. i'm proud of having hired alexander been, allah can see that he made a mistake, a real one, a serious one that felt like a betrayal. i told him so. everybody makes mistakes, the response must be in proportion with it. this was a huge embarrassing for president macklin. i just after a year of the he had been elected, given that during his campaign full that election, he had vowed to restore the public trust in public authority. he in france. and there we had been all
7:19 pm
a gauge which shattered all of that image during the campaign. now in another blow for president mack on another head of security was also convicted to day old old, so assaulting and roughing up, protest do steering that same make a protest. he's now received a 2 year sentence as well. and this is not just a political earthquake that's been going on for the last 3 years. this is something that could now impact president mack on as she possibly seeks re election in the next 6 months. those electrons moving very, very quickly. and this is coming. i probably the worst time for him because it will remind voters of an incident that almost brought to macklin and his government down the most embarrassing incident, perhaps of his presidency so far. how multiple bomb threats have been called in at yale university, and that's according to officers responding at the scene. several buildings on
7:20 pm
campus were evacuated. they include the university theater, jonathan edwards college, and the yale art gallery police are carrying out a search while the public is being asked to avoid the campus. will of course, bring you the latest on this developing story. as soon as we get it, the 2014 ruling which ordered russia to pay billions of dollars compensation to shareholders of a now defunct oil giant has been overturned by the dutch supreme court. the case centers around new coast. that's a company previously owned by a man who was once russia's richest person, ortiz more gasdio, explains. russia has welcome the dutch supreme court decision to uphold its appeal against the 2014 you cause ruling. this is, by the way, the biggest ever arbitration case a 100000000000 you cost shareholders wanted, when they sued russia in 2005, they were awarded more than 50000000000 in 2014. but there have been plenty of
7:21 pm
twists and turns ever since russia has argued for many years that you cause shareholders have committed fraud. this is something that previously in its previous decision in 2014 quote of arbitration. this is a matters refused to acknowledge the dutch supreme court has now said that it was wrong to refuse to look at this issue in that perhaps it is worth investigating. undoubtedly, there will be more twists and turns you call shareholders again demanding at tens of billions and compensation for what they say is russia unfairly dismantling you cost then a huge oil giant and seizing its assets. russia arguing that for many years you cause had evaded taxes that its leaders had committed multiple tax offenses, another criminal act, and that russia acted by the law. thousands of green protesters have

a strong statement and implementable. that is the key. the words don't mean enough unless they are implemented at all of us have seen years of frustration for promises that are made not kept heard from the number of speakers on the stage behind me. adjusting the thousands of people in attendance, including many from digital communities with the most affected why climate change for many of them. those voices shouldn't josby, being head out here in these protests, which should be part of the conversations taking place inside the summit, which thus far they say seemed to be only the preserve of the elite. we saw the arts in gov and there was another protest near the cop 26 summit venue by ocean rebellion. their furious about destructive industrial fishing practices. the fake blood splattered stunts saw activists dawning suits and fish heads and carrying brief cases with atrocities against sea life written on them

that the news of museum in the u. k. has removed a portrait of a war hero over his ties to slavery. lieutenant general sir thomas picton was the most senior british officer to die at the battle of waterloo in 1815. his portrait was on display at national museum of wales in cardiff for more than a century actually, while being regarded as a public hero. he was also known for his harsh treatment of slaves. the museum commissioned a year long project, probing the legacy of picton, and now plans to re display and re interpret the portrait in a re angling of the way he's presented. for now, however pickens portrait will be replaced decision. many have reacted to negatively saying the past is in black and white, and we shouldn't try to hide what is inconvenient to explain. as a journalist, i feel uneasy about this element of censoring history should not picked and remain on display as a reminder to wales of an aspect of its past. no matter how disgraceful is not
7:26 pm
general sir thomas picked and killed inaction at the bustle of waterloo. in 1815 history is not yours. discord histories that to learn from. so the same thing never happens again. the museum should be ashamed of itself. sir thomas picton was the most senior british officer to diets, waterloo facing napoleon. his picture has just been removed from welsh national museum. no time for heroes. one day all humans will be canceled because once upon a time they were owning cause, museums collections director thinks the pictures removal is an important step in re examining national collections. it's not the 1st time picked and related. art has been removed earlier this year, carter city council decided to put away a marble statue of him from city hall. journalist marcus steed, thinks removing art is counter productive. i am reluctant to judge people from the past by the standards we live by today. i mean times of change massively. even in the last 3040 years, the painting should be available in cardiff museum for the public to say visitors

to safe a school expeditions for children to say. but there should be a plaque underneath it, explaining that this man's legacy is hugely mixed. he had an appalling track record in terms of his boldest governor, trinidad, particularly in the treatment of the 14 year old girl. but also he showed incredible bravery at the battle of waterloo, when taking on the evil of napoleon. a nice things need to be put into a fuller context, the proper context. but at the same time, said, suing people is not the solution. and censoring works of art is not the solution. the past doesn't disappear, just because you're taking down paintings, alteri, literature, tearing down statues. you've got to confront these things, head on and put it into a proper context. and that's how you build bridges. and that's how you, you build a coherent society. british armed forces are wasting billions of pounds a year on procurement contracts. that's according to a parliamentary spending watchdog and comes after the ministry of defense received a substantial boost to its budget. the department system for delivering major
7:28 pm
equipment capabilities is broken and is repeatedly wasting taxpayer money. we are deeply concerned about departmental witnesses, inability, or unwillingness taunts to basic questions and give a frank assessment of the state of its major programs. the department continually fails to learn from its mistakes. the prob, singled out a project to develop a jacks armored vehicles describing it as a catastrophe. number, none of them are ready despite 4000000000 pounds of spending over the past decade. out of the 20 programs examined by the house of commons, committee, 13 or behind schedule. the ministry of defense is justified the delays saying procurement is a complex challenge. but former military intelligence officer, philip ingram thinks the ministry needs to be more open about where all the money is going. the minister defense has never been the best of trying to explain the money that it's allocating in particular to equipment program. but as,

as some massive disasters, you're historically the, the upgrade to the nimrod program, and more recently as quoted in the guardian newspaper, the armies ajax, or recognizance vehicle and only 14 vehicles have been delivered. and they are not fit for purpose, very, very large sums of money are split up into it being spent into a number of different financial years. and if it isn't spent in that financial year or too much as needed one financial year, it causes the whole accounting system to become unbalanced. and then when programs run very over, cost or problems evolve in the programs like is happening with the armies ajax, that, that just adds another layer of complexity to it. the biggest changes that are needed in the system are to take a business minded approach and bring proper business people into negotiate contracts. professional individuals who understand complex project management from a commercial procurement perspective. not necessary. just
