ah, a breaking news and artsy water cannon tear gas are deployed by poland as it continues to resist the dams by migrants to storm the border from bella rouge in order to reach the e. u. so i had the russian defense ministry slums, the u. s. as hypocritical after washington criticize moscow for testing a weapon in space, when it's done exactly the same and probably only likes to pay more on average, we have the money to do so. of mainstream u. s. media outlets repeatedly claimed that americans are better off under joe biden, despite inflation hitting a 31 year. a record citizens reformed. we have to buy food and to do things like
11:01 am
different ways. i don't think you're saving money. i definitely feel the invasion more so on food and i think a lot of people are out of work that are spending their savings just to stay alive . honda regional government in australia is on course to get sweeping new powers. busy in upon damn, egg failed despite last ditch amendments on a public outcry. ah, a lie from an international new center in moscow. this is our t thanks for choosing us for your update today. i'm you know neil, our top story. poland has fired water coming on tear gas. it attempts to hold back a surge of migrants trying to make it across the border from belarus or so say it's
11:02 am
expecting the situation to continue for potentially months. let's look at what has been playing out on the frontier today. ah, a basically what the migrants are doing, they are throwing whatever rubbish they can find as well as logs at the police look over there. they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the bob. while again, you can see them using purpose grades, military grade. so okay, we have to move out when he back up and go back to safety. so we will keep the
11:03 am
broadcast. we'll keep showing in maybe we'll move behind the 1st fence that they have, that they have already dismantled. and you can see people quickly to retreat from over there. now they have brought a water cannon. i think they, they're bringing to water can. okay. we have to move out, this is the sound and you can see more tear gas more tear gas canisters being used against the migrants here. and now we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. it is a polish military helicopter. this has been used a as surveillance on behalf of the polish side. so you know, getting a birds eye view on the, you know, on the location of all the migrants and also it, it is used as a scare tactic. it looks like part of a fence, a part of offense is almost down so. so the polish, the polish border patrol, the polish military police, they have been they have been manning that section of the fence more extensively than others. and there's also another water cannon. now helping out from over there, you can see it, you know, arching an arch in a spray of tear gas from
11:04 am
a badly check point where the board check point is. and we are right now is, is, is we can get to the void a check point where the majority of the action is going on. right now. you can see a group of most active people pelting, pelting the, pelting them with the military police to polish military police, with rocks. now, that's why it's, it's quite interesting. where are they getting the rocks from now? because for example, if you look over there, there's a group of migrants. they are getting the rocks and providing their compatriots and providing other riots, migrants writing migrants with ammunition. this is what they're doing. and we've just been purpose grade. i'm afraid this is what happens when this is what happens when you when you look this close to the action. it is, it is getting in the eyes that is getting. so following today's failed attempt to storm the polish gordon,
11:05 am
dozens of migrants have expressed their desire to well go home. so all of them have now been taken here. this is normally 8 logistics center on the border, which is used to all sort out the good to for that kind of stuff. now it has been re purpose and re facilitated by the bell russian authorities into this temporary shelter place for the people for the most vulnerable. the main goal of this place is to have women and children in the 1st place. i lived somewhere within humane conditions because right now, you know this roof that the roof over there has it's already connected improvement compared to how they had to live out there in the camps. they have, they have blankets, blankets, who have, who are people who come here. they have out. they give out, you know, you know, food drinks and so on. they will have hot food, which is especially important. i think for the 1st time i can, i can see what all these people are wearing underneath their overcoats because
11:06 am
normally they would put as much clothes as they can out there in the wilderness and what will happen to them. next is essentially the veteran authorities. they will go on and stablish the identities of every single person here, because how many of them not even have their ideas, do not have their passports on them. and so they will try and identify every single one of them figure out how the money situation is individually and whether or not they can, for example, of food to take it back home. if they do, they will be able to leave home. this is their desire, this is why he's come here and if they don't, well, i guess they will have to figure out something else by day. i mean these are our facilities and see how they will be able to will to port the amendment. essentially . just get back home and get back to the countries where they came from, like rock syria, molly, and so on. e, garage it down off on the ground for
11:07 am
r t. now the polish border force has also said guards have been authorized to use weapons. without hesitation, if necessary. that's at despite a number of children being among the migrants on the front line, some were in fact filmed begging for poland to let them in. oh, oh, oh. oh, the west accuses valerie some deliberately fumbling migrants from the middle east into the area that claim minsk denies both the u. s. and you are preparing new sanctions. and russia has criticized poland for using tear gas and weapons, as we saw against people stuck up the border when you put a human with punish actions that absolutely unacceptable to tear gas water cannon shots fired over the heads of migrants towards bella. cruz. this reflects
11:08 am
a desire to hide their actions. they cannot understand and they are violating every conceivable gnome of international humanitarian, long history. millennia, while belarus earlier claimed continued sanctions mean to it's no longer able until inclined to style people seeking to cross the border. we discussed the crisis with a number of guests who feel brussels has to do more to resolve the situation. you know, ill at ease with y'all. they can only impose sanctions, but there isn't much sanction that they can impose on by rosco's. the. the comic links are cut or, or there are not many, anyway. oh, politically speaking, they have 4 been on the, on the but i was aligned to land or to fly over europe on. there isn't much more, they can do the sanctions. it's just the word. it's totally inefficient, it's just words. oh, so in this instance,
11:09 am
the allan really annoyed by this problem because as you here in germany now the player that these people should not coming, it's the exact opposite of what mrs. markham, setting 2015 are the shot from best they can call. they are fleeing the chaos caused by the united states and european allies. they are trying to escape that chaos by coming to the one corner of the boat in the world. the european union, which is greeted with a notarized fence and police and units, it really says something about the state. well, we are to day that we go round the world creating kayla and havoc. and yet we won't allow in 34000 people, manage them highway educating both those architects and so on. we could the european union and the u. k. can absorb those numbers, no deported than state. we have a, a language been used to describe the weaponized, asian as if they are weapons being used to damage the european union are the way that it talks about it is an invasion and so on, so forth. rather than saying these are people trying to get
11:10 am
a better life way. chaos when danger seeking refuge in the european union. another country that's dealing with a new influx of migrants is around people up in fleeing to their, from neighboring afghanistan since the taliban to control of the country. but international aid organizations have actually cut refugee a to, to run something the un house condemned at non profit organization. the norwegian refugee council says 4 to 5000 people have been crossing from afghanistan into iran daily since the taliban takeover. it states that at most to 300000 refugees on top of the large number of displaced people who were already in the country. the group recently visited migrant camps. there to monitor the conditions and people are living in laila much or was among the delegation. she told me around an urgent need of international i was there,
11:11 am
we spoke to several families who have been on the ground for a very long time in iran. and they all say that every family member, they speak with back in afghanistan and cobble and elsewhere in the country. all tell them the same thing that they're on the way to the border. they're trying to find a way out there trying to get into iran because it's become absolutely hopeless to live in afghanistan and much due to the economic collapse in the country. and those families me spoke to say that, you know, they have so little already to share among so many. and they worry that unless the international community 1000 give more support to neighboring countries of, of gown stand, there will simply not be enough just court. everyone with their basic needs. this is an a context where iran itself has economic challenges as a result of sanctions and, and coven, 19 general. there has not been adequate attention to the situation in the neighboring countries of afghan has done. it is always the neighboring countries that shoulder, that major responsibility when there's a massive writing g flown. it's remarkable that iran is able to absorb
11:12 am
40025000 refugees coming from the goddess on every day. and yet, europe is not able to deal with the 4000 or a few 1000 refugees at the polish border. but it's also equally unfortunate and outrageous that the beller is, authorities are using refugees as a tactic to win an international geopolitical game. a war of words has broken eyes between russia and the us over a military activity in orbit that comes after washington accused moscow of putting the international space station in danger, by conducting an anti satellite weapons test. russia responded by stating the u. s . was being hypocritical, adding washington has been far more reckless in space. i discussed the latest developments earlier with our correspondent double quarter. there's been a lot of speculation and there still is really as to what exactly caused this debris generating event. and unsurprisingly,
11:13 am
washington was quick to point the finger at russia. actually, the russian defense ministry has since reacted to that pointing to new of plus plans for space operations that the u. s. military had made back in 2020. so for russia, this whole situation seems a bit hypocritical. the russian defense ministry considers hypocritical statements by representatives of the state department and the pentagon, who tried to accuse the russian federation of creating risks for astronauts of the international space station in ton, the pentagon, both before these official steps and even more so after is actively developing and testing the latest strike combat weapons of various types in orbit without any notification. don't take us through than what led to this war of words or up thing? well, whatever this debris generating event was, it was enough to warrant the crew of the international space station to take safety measures against a possible collision. luckily, nothing was damaged, nobody was hurt, but the u. s. to state the u. s. state department,
11:14 am
almost immediately after accused russia of launching a direct ascent missile to destroy a satellite in orbit, which they say caused the danger on the i assess washington called it a dangerous and irresponsible behavior. the russian federation recklessly conducted a destructive satellite test of a direct ascent, an anti satellite missile against one of its own satellites. rushes dangerous and irresponsible behavior jeopardizes the long term sustainability of our outer space and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing the weapons and weapon ization of space are disingenuous and hypocritical. nato made its own statement backing up some of the earlier accusations made by washington. but as the russian defense ministry said, the u. s. has its own, its types of similar tests in orbit and there's no outcry about those. and we also still don't know what exactly launched to this debris into the path of i assess so hardly a time for finger pointing. let's talk some big figures. america's soaring inflation
11:15 am
is expected to spike further in the back of a 2 trillion dollar spending plan approved by president biden. prices are rising up their highest rate in 31 years, and it is hitting people hard in their pockets. not everyone is worried though much . all the u. s. media thinks everything's under control. a recently deleted tweets from m s and be see even claims soaring prices are not such a bad thing that prompted people to take the social media and offer their response to the suggestion people not being able to afford groceries is a good thing. well antics olive you more, more on selling has more money coming out of our pocket is a good thing. no reason will ever make a reasonable person to say inflation is a good thing. amazon dessy believes inflation is a good thing that i will wallison curse is disagree. interestingly,
11:16 am
soon after m s n b c followed up with another tweet, seeing the deleted one, miss represented the article who is linking to. but the idea that soaring, coarser an overall good thing under president biden athletes. how's game traction in the media? kill him up and ask new yorkers if they agree, whether it's mel for gasoline, the prices of every day commodities are rising. american families are being squeezed now more. busy than ever, some voices in mainstream media say the solution is pretty simple. stop complaining and deal with it. and the dirty little secret here, willi, while nobody likes to pay more, on average, we have the money to do so. household savings had a record high over the pandemic. we didn't really have anywhere to go out and spend according to m. s. n b c house, stephanie rule, household savings hit a record high. during the pandemic. we didn't have anywhere to go out and spend. we decided to put that theory to the test people savers have gone of no, no, i don't think so because things are more expensive or we have to buy food and do
11:17 am
things like different ways. i don't think you save money, especially way transportation and everything. i definitely feel ian facia and have more on food. you notice the difference like in, in proteins and just in general, it's definitely worrying. i don't know too much. not a great financial guy, but extern says the economy is a little bit. we're an semi us, i think a lot of people are out of work and they're, they're spending their savings just to stay alive honestly. yeah. what about on the be lost her job? well, a lot of those people are definitely spending their savings, myself included. what rules theory ignores is that sense of the pandemic? many americans have lost their jobs or seen a significant decrease in their incomes. the federal reserve is warning that inflation won't be stopping any time soon and that we should be expecting rising prices for at least the next few months. food banks across the country have never been busier. hit with demand from desperate americans who are hit by the double whammy of rising prices amid a supply chain crisis. i would say that in our county specifically, we've seen a dramatic increase in food insecurity. we've had to make
11:18 am
a lot of really tough choices. and so one of the things that we're always trying to reiterates is that we're still in the midst of a disaster. meanwhile, the spectre of rising taxes hangs over many americans biden promises that he will only raise taxes on the altar wealthy. however, the tax policy center says that many middle class households could be effective. republicans say that biden's build back better plan for increasing spending will make things worse, joe biden, and comma le harris and the rest of the administration. they don't care, they want you not to be able to fulfill up gas in your car. they want your electricity bill to be higher. they want your heating bill to be higher. of course it doesn't impact them. according to a recent poll, 70 percent of americans are dismayed by the current economic situation, while 50 percent blame biden for soaring inflation. not surprisingly, biden's, popularity has taken a knock. now 51 percent of voters say they favor the g o. p. giving republicans the
11:19 am
highest lead facing the mid term in decades. biden promised to rescue the country from a crisis that he blamed on donald trump. however, over the past few months, things don't really seem to have improved with the country financially squeezed. this could mean a big turn around when it comes to the mid terms. caleb martin, r t new york. and it all comes out of the time of plummeting trust in the mainstream media with us tv network, seeing their rating slumped dramatically since last year. we've got that story for you shortly. this was a bargain that was may 2025 years ago under clinton. as a matter of fact, when they brought china into the world trade organization, the w t o. this was a quid pro quo that we're going to essentially give america a huge break on flat screen tv. but within 2045 years we're going to bankrupt the
11:20 am
country and that's what's happening now. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? ah ah, in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah,
11:21 am
021 minutes past the hour. welcome back. authorities in the australian state of victoria are expected to get sweeping new powers under a fiercely contested pandemic bill. despite last minute changes on public fury, i've heard oh, on monday night, thousands of protesters camped outside the state parliament in melbourne, venting their anger over the draft legislation in response that government watered at dawn essentially and obeyed to get the bill through the opera house. the key concessions are that fines for cobra rule breakers humping lowered. the threshold for declaring a pandemic has been raised on the right to protest is protected. not all follows. weeks of public on rest. la victoria premier, has defended the bell, saying it's about quote,
11:22 am
keeping people safe and not include safeguards to prevent abuse of power. meanwhile, now top health official in another australian state at queensland house issued a warning to people who refused cobra chance. he said, vaccine hesitant citizens could effectively be banished from society. oh, the cries, not get vaccinated. lot will be miserable without being faxed, that it is going to be very hard to maintain your employment if you're not vaccinated or you won't be able to go anyway for any time. and we'll last really as an 83 percent cobit vaccination rate. while queensland is also high, it's 70 percent. but despite reaching international herd, immunity targets australia seeking to ratchet up the pressure on the on vaccinated . earlier we asked professor of epidemiology, katherine bennett, who's in the victoria state capital of melbourne. if the new bill there is the right response to the disease, part of the reason they argued that i'm having a pandemic bill was going to be important was that it would allow some of the
11:23 am
decision making processes to become more transparent actually. but there was concern that when it came back that it didn't actually have some of the oversight automatically written in that would ensure that this was going to happen in that way. so it's really important. the changes were saying in the last 24 hours, i think a key changes to help achieve what they plan to achieve that without risking giving so much authority to someone who, who also is the person who calls whether or not they need to consult with paypal and what we're saying is they trying to make the point that you need to get vaccinated, said just drawing a very hard line and trying to encourage people to vaccinate. but i think this, the recent, the epidemiological argument to some course keeping unvaccinated paper locked out for the long term. it just doesn't make sense because the risk differential is, is, is very small. if you have such a small proportion of the adult population who are unvaccinated
11:24 am
americans trust in the most media slumped to its lowest level since 2016, it's taken a toll on mainstream tv networks with cnn. seeing its primetime viewer numbers plummet by almost 50 percent over the last year. marquee stanley armstrong has the story trust. they say it takes years and only seconds to break and for ever to repair for us mainstream media. those seconds have turned into months of nose, diving, viewing figures amid a crisis of confidence. on saturday, eights hop, cnn reports to ridicule reports of supply chain disruptions by taking a pop at average joe, the supply chain, she exclaims, looking for milk for 2 year old. look at this amazing, overflowing abundance hate were spawns. such contempt from you, media for the current difficulties faced by so many has led to wide spread condemnation with many americans bemoaning and out of touch media that is
11:25 am
alienating its own audience. i don't see a thing, therefore this thing must not exist. this person calls himself a journalist, can't wait to hear a 3rd person commentary on gas prices. everything's fine in my bubble of reality. his milk is 300 percent the price it was 2 years ago, but wages have only gone to 3 percent. and inflation is outpacing growth. abundance doesn't help or so please rename your show to literally anything that doesn't have the word reliable in it. it's false advertising. so the chasm in communication between the public and the press is widening major channels like m s, n, b, c, and c, n n. have seen their respective prime time spot nosedive by just under half of their total viewership. but it's not just the democrat liberal media that's losing touch with its base. fox news viewership is down a 3rd from the same period just
11:26 am
a year earlier. now back then, the media consistently found ratings. thanks largely to donald trump, but in a biden era that's all changed. not so long ago, buzzfeed learned the hard way about dwindling audiences when the company laid off a 3rd of its staff. but not only both feed old u. s. traditional media have faced the year on year decline. just let the 10s of thousands of media jobs being white out, the media. so to announce the highest job cuts on record in 2020 this industry, which includes television and movie production, news and advertising, and as $30711.00 cuts. this is 201 percent higher than the 10201 cuts announcing the sector in 2019. and while traditional media continues to report an agenda, rather than covering issues at the heart of society, that trust whereas ever thinner and ratings plunge ever further, perhaps by raining in their reporting by is just a little mainstream. media won't just be doing their view as a favor,
11:27 am
but also themselves as well. and just staying with their story, we spoke to journalists, chadwick, moore. he thinks there's a growing ref between what americans want to see and their tv screens and what they're actually being sure. i don't think that this trust can be gained. i think that so many people feel so burned and deceived and misled by media. how do you forgive that when you see just how corrupt they are and how much they think their heels in and continue to dig their heels in to their biases and their spin and their hatred of conservative republicans of average americans. it just needs a problem that don't interest them. they're interested in climate change. they're interested in race conspiracy theories. and they can help themselves report on that . i think that's also responsible for the, the tank and ratings in the, in the ever increasing divide between the people who deliver the news and the people i hope consume it. and the average people who. ready are just tuning out and they're not interested in what these people have to say. they don't speak to them.
11:28 am
chadwick were now in moments, had time for another visit to the college or a port studio, max and stacy, their son, the body to talk and beg holiday price tags for us, consumers on plenty more beside ah ah no one else seemed wrong when i just don't want you to see how it is because of the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground.
11:29 am
oh, there's a patch of water around the try, a seal island that's been contention between canada and the united states northern gulf and made it suddenly become optimal for lobster. our populations here is exploded. one of the most valuable fisheries that's ever existed. suddenly you had me and canadian fishermen in these waters. at the same time jousting for position and attention are high, violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the point where there could be costs that would be significant to quote countries. border disputes don't go away because fester, something's going to happen. we're
11:30 am
empowering ourselves to be more efficient, quicker with our transactions. but with that comes a trade off, every device is a potential entry point for security or any machine can be it's an extension of traditional time. the defenders have always been one step behind the attackers, both with mm hm. there's one called option in the offering. it's not a matter of if it happens, it's a matter of went oh hi, i'm max kaiser with stacy herbert.
