always further wrong than our ability to feed or headline stories. protests sweep europe as governments clump don yet again in response to writing kobe k says germany is expected shortly to issued tough new rules for its own vaccinated citizens. also, this are the season animals. we are not in town. i saw happen to the border. i can't say very hard. when i saw poland used to your gas against women and children, i thought other european countries would be no different. aggressive treatment at the hands of polish border guards leave migrants demoralized with many of them telling r t. they just want to go home. plus i ford with the device of trial of teenage shooter. kyle, written how i seized plush is outside

a u. s. court says that judge brown's media coverage of the proceedings, grossly irresponsible. ah, oh, wherever you're watching from around the world today. welcome to moscow on to our t international. i'm you know, neil, our top story. europe's being battered by yet another corona virus. wave with france registering more than $20000.00 daily cases for the 1st time since august and hungry. the infection rate is 5 times higher than at the start of this month. a numbers are also spiking in austria, in response governments are ratcheting up the pressure on people to get their cobit schultz. several you nations are introducing partial locked ons for they

unvaccinated or limiting their access to key services. in the czech republic, the measures have sparked public fury with thousands protesting on prague central square. so by he is also tightening the screws on the, on job, barring them from large events and, and requiring testing in workplaces. and as you can see here, that has not gone dine to well and bratislava in germany. daily infections have had a record high on berlin, is expected to impose new restrictions really at any moment to day or europe. correspondent peter, all of her can take us through walks at the change. it looks like we are going to see new measures nall change in germany when it comes to covered restrictions that would allow the 60 states in the individual governance in those states to strengthen, to tighten those restrictions. should they feel that they are necessary? what that bare minimum, that national bare minimum could look like is being called the to g plus method.

now to g was the way in which only the vaccinated. and those that can prove that they've recovered from cove at 19 would have access to certain public spaces to g plus means you wouldn't get in to add things like restaurants, bars, cafes, theaters, or cinemas without a both having your vaccine certificate or your proof that you've recovered and a recent negative test. now this has proved pretty popular with the population suggesting 60 percent of those would back such a moose among them seems to be the outgoing chancellor angle of merkel who has highlighted the real risk that germany is facing from this 4th wave of covert lighting to gain vertical planning me log and we can find excitation in germany is dramatic. i can't say any other way. and the 4th wave is here in our country with full force fine. we're urgently new to make progress on vaccinations. and so i

would also like to take this opportunity to promote vaccines. it's also not too late at all to decide to get vaccinated for the 1st time this action certainly needed. but it's not just because of the high coven numbers that something needs to be done. the current government has seem to have been inadequate when it comes to its response, particularly to this 4th wave of cove at 19 around 60 percent of those polled by news magazine dash beagle said current government hadn't been cutting it hadn't been doing enough for what we are facing is a real problem when it comes to those in need of serious health is germany. there is a shortage of intensive care beds in some regions leaning that. those that are a who up read, read sick with cove at 19 are going to struggle to find the care that they need. and what we are seeing is the interim health minister yen spawn, saying that he wants to see boost the vaccine jobs given out to all of those over

the age of a scene. be keeping an eye on what comes out of the bond, the stag all day on thursday. and update on another big story of the week. a grueling stand off on the polish border appears to be subsiding with migrants now retreating from the heavily fortified border fence and sticking shelter on the belly. russian side authorities have provided temporary accommodation in a warehouse and handed out much needed supplies. after spending several freezing nights out in the open, one of the arrivals had a message of profited from minsk. i'm with a growing number of refugees have abandoned their dream of a new life in the. they've tacked on in the face of harsh cried control tactics from polish border guards has been using water cannon and tear gas. only a few dozen people now remain nights in the cold. since most of the americans

hopping house in a converted warehouse, a co vaccination point has just been set up at the camp to we understand ortiz morocco's, they have sent us this report from the scene earlier. the night has been somewhat car and the boy there were sporadic attempt spot by small groups to cross into into poland, mostly men who were much fit a that the weather is it isn't doing that would be migrant. say me any favors it is cold. here is windy, the sort of wind that blows all the heat out of your body. many people more than a 1000 the now in this, in this hand of this formula, g stick center, the bell, russian authorities have made available for my goods. it's, it's a roof over their heads it somewhere bomb with power, with a place to charge their mobile phones and keep in touch with their relatives. this food also that's being delivered, but many others are still out there in the woods. there are cabs across the border,

trying to find a way through to pull into the vent julie into germany, which is the ultimate destination for many of them. but as i say, there was no concentrated effort to get across over the course of the life and the fight. the spirit has got out of many of the migrants here. many of them, of course, women children who didn't expect the sort of ferocious response that they saw from poland, lumber. we damage and i don't have any more hope for the european union. we were sleeping in the forest for 10 days and they were children with us. it's very dangerous. none, none of that new countries are ready to speak about the problem and nobody accepts . so sasha holland is using tear gas against women and children, and the you keep silence about this. i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous if they c as, as animals are. but we are not on in allison oliver. i have failed to reach germany

and i want to go home them or that we've tried to get europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset when i saw happen to the border. i can't stay here very hard. his envelope man, the vassar. i am very tired, i don't want to try again. my family in iraq are saying, please come back. when i saw pollen use tear gas against women and children, i thought other european countries would be no different for reference and we're taking just troop soldiers here into account. the poland has moved stationed at the, at the border at various crossings, $50000.00 troops. and this is discounted all the of the border patrol of emergency services. the police that have been stationed at the board or about 2000 migrants here. $15000.00 polish troops to watch over the ferry. my good boy, a girl child, woman, a man. there are. there are 7 polish soldiers. a deeds in the polish

response has been tremendous. they're trying to keep anyone from crossing into poland. there are, there are people that have been able to cross or to pull of that have even reached germany, but those are, are, are few and far between people here realize that their chances are, the chances are dimensions. this isn't what they expected from europe. this isn't what they relatives told them, would happen. who people who had a much easier time of getting into germany getting into western europe, which is again the ultimate destination for many migrants. and of course, for the crux that crescendo came up when polish security forces at the boat began firing water cabins, wood, cannons, lakes firing just streams of water jets of water laced. but some sort of variant of, of tear gas for which many migrants as well as even bell russian security forces had the chic medical attention for, ah,

you with this diplomatic spat conflict between paris and various countries of the european union also continues with both for changing bobs, blaming each other for this, this crisis europe playing. it is entirely manufactured, beller, are saying that these people came here and they want to cross over into europe. partly because of their fleeing conditions that european nations helped establishing in their country's b as a rock b. it syria, be it all of canister. but these telling the people would at this point, many people here would prefer to return to of canister to syria, to iraq. rather brave trying to cross into poland, again,

has been communication between bell, russian authorities and various officials in europe. they're trying to come to a common resolution of this latest crisis displayed a latest migrant crisis. and there have been hopeful signs, but for now people remain here on the border. iraq is also sending today repatriation fly to return some of its citizen to vibe voice their intent to return home to endless pursuit of trying to cross into poland, germany, and who would prefer to return? no, he remains a difficult affair because they will have to register their every what a try to figure out how many people it is that, that want to return. but ultimately for many migrants here, a step in the right direction. just to pick up on a point that murat was speaking of by say in terms of those who want to return to

their home countries on the rocky diplomat sake, 250 people have officially registered to fly home and they will be the 1st group of people returning voluntarily since the border crisis 1st began with roots from belarus and poland largely sealed off migrants are trying to look further north at the lithuanian frontier. the bell russian border service has released this video, allegedly showing lithuanian police with dogs forcing meyer group to turn back on tuesday night. that was, we cannot verify whether the video is authentic and the new in here, which is in the you has given a different version of events. it sing beller. russian guards per se 30 marvin over to the lithuanians side and prevented them from returning to belarus. after they were denied and will be for ballard, was sent off about mc shift border shelter from migrants. many of them at spent weeks out in the freezing, cold, with little or no food in what aid agencies called

a humanitarian disaster. r t followed those harrowing developments from day one. and you can watch those reports over on the r t show channel on youtube. boy, i almost sunset. i had the camera, my clothes reek of burned wood from cam fires. ah, my eyes are sore because of the smoke and i just didn't know i feel dizzy, but this is nothing compared to what these people i have been through who spent last 3 days with these migrants for these refugees, and i guess we've set it all blood on death. starving it desperate mothers are so far. this is the largest migrant crisis and europe's eastern frontier. or an earlier we know the bell. russian president, alexander lucas shenker, discussed the crisis in a phone call with angle america. even up sparked ignition from several politicians

who suggested the german chancellor should not be speaking with a leader that the e. u considers a legitimate or former german imposter to russia to list the view is misguided. is ruled admission. alice flushed. yes, i wouldn't take everything that those involved in this political process say you literally. of course, one can criticize the democratically elected head of government for talking to someone who's the you believes, falsified the results of the last elections in his country and has continued presidency is not recognized by the entire european union and many other countries . one could say it's but not to talk to such a person, but there is a very serious problem on the border between belarus and poland. a major human tragedies bruin there. and i think that in such a situation, it's not a mistake, but rather a good thing that dialogue is thought between the whoever holds power there be regardless of whether he's recognized or naughty american guilt. despite the british government making repeated claims that would get

a grip on illegal immigration this year has seen record numbers of migrants arriving on new case shores. more than $23000.00 to have scrambled ashore after making the perilous crossing of the english channel. and the authorities have now admitted only 5 of them have been sent back to the continent. the happened some difficulties around secure returns, not least as a consequence of content. that is an important context dorothy op reassess it to hide this time. last year that return agreements were our number one priority. it strong in the french national interest to agree such returns interest that gives me significant cause for optimism. instead, the opposite has happened. is that correct? yam bishan remains to secure successful returns, arrangements with our european friends and neighbors and potentially with the european union. but this also doesn't just relate to the you will less get more in this know with her you k,

correspond ortiz as shadier edwards dash t. hi, shelly. this is proving to be a major embarrassment for the government, supposedly tough stance on immigration. i would suggest, well, you had just that britain has got to do better. that is the admission for all ministers have in the united kingdom. it's simply no good, really a blaming these circle difficulties or even the curve at 90 and pandemic. the cause, the numbers are really escalating out of control. it comes as the numbers of people trying to reach the united kingdom via the english channel has now tripled in a year from 8 and a half 1000 to move and 23000. in the last week alone on 3 different occasions, over a 1000 people reach the united kingdom via this route, plus on top of all of that, all of that number, just 5 people have been returned to europe. now, ministers, all following. indeed, the home secretary pretty patel's lead of using a slogans and rhetoric like making the channel absolutely on viable. but it seems

to be just the slogan. it's now 3 years ago, pre to patel for us to use that phrase. and the situation year on year is only a getting was, as per usual though, there's a tit for tat between the united kingdom and its french a counterparts across the channel. not only does each side blame the all the pointing the finger of blame directly saying it's their own problem. but the united kingdom is saying that friendship warranties are flat out, refusing to keep to their wealth of that joint porterville. 1 mission, while the french is saying that the united kingdom is in no position to point the finger either buquet home secretary and french interior minister agreed to accelerate the delivery of the commitments made in the joint agreement of july 2021 to deliver. when they joined determination to prevent 100 percent of cross science and make this deadly route on viable for the record, the 100 percent figure was not agrees between the home secretary and french,

interior minister gerald german and, and should not be presented as an agreed commitment, it is not, and it is not part of the joint statement. also, the diplomatic roots haven't really worked either. the united kingdom is trying to replace the dublin agreement with other resettlement schemes. however, france, belgium, germany and sweden have all rejected these attempts, but one is certainly needed, as i say, these numbers are now as soaring out of control. and we have to look at the context, all of all of all of this, even ministers in that meeting. even admitted the very fact that when the fall of kabul happened, that's when we saw the influx of asylum seekers particularly from afghanistan and the nearby region with these people ending up in the channel. part of course i was just the crisis of people coming to the united kingdom far this route. but what happens once that here as well, we know it can take up 2 years for asylum seekers to be processed and now the u. k . is even considering off shore, a processing of these applications,

particular and albania, that i did, that's been floating around for some time. now, however, i'll be near a simple rejecting these claims. so it seems rhetoric on these don't you deal? there simply isn't an art to dealing with this crisis. nothing really seems to be working on campaign is have low set. the united kingdom needs safe legal passages for asylum seekers to reach the united kingdom. because of course, make no mistake. english channel is one of the well busiest shipping lines when people say it is life threatening, threatening, it's absolutely no. a exaggeration, of course, in recent weeks we've seen at least 2 people losing their life when trying to cross the perilous journey with many more fit to be lost at sea as well. so the time really is now to get a grip of the situation. our t shandey address dusty bringing us across that story. thank shutting in greece to several cities across the country have been marketing the anniversary of

the so called poly technical pricing. back in 1973. a student griffith was brutally forced by the military genta, which some believe was backed by washington. tensions over the event continue to this day with police flushing with protesters in the cities of fest, along the key enough and demonstrators brent the u. s. flag. and through fire palms, that officers who respond with water come and while a police guard was forced to surround the american embassy with comfortable to to africa, the student needs capital. cartoon, their security forces, hard live ammunition and tear gas, or protesters and t who rallying people many sydney see the recent over her was alarming and unconstitutional. medic say at least 15 people were shot dead, the highest elephant tullison since the government was toppled at the end of last month. the cracked on came as the u. s. secretary of state is enough recap, trying to resolve the deepening conflicts and both sedan on se opiate i have had to

have it on record rainfall in the canadian province of british columbia has resulted in muscle flooding. local reports said one person was killed in the torrential rains, which tramped a number of motorists and mudslides. authorities are urging people in the area to evacuate to safety. while the state of emergency has been declared, phil, i had an artsy fist fly outside the courtroom in the ongoing trial of teenage shooters called rittenhouse, and a case that's exposed yet another racially charged rift in u. s. society, not story, and more to the break. ah, ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon, she'll and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business,

i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? walk this way. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.

ah, 23 minutes past the are welcome back tempers or flooring in the trial of teenage shooter, kyle rittenhouse with a mouse brawl outside the courtroom in wisconsin. on wednesday, it's 6 posed a chasm in us politics and media with issues of policing and racism again at the forefront of a culture battle ortiz john hubby reports from outside the court. oh yeah. i know both with it's definitely heated up in terms of the overall vibe in the overall atmosphere. you know, there was actually just about maybe 10 minutes ago. an altercation on the steps

between essentially opposing protesters to other protesters gone into a fight. it turned into a fist fight, one of the demonstrators or one of the people that was involved in the altercation then ran across the street. i'm going to get out of the way just so you can try to see the scene a little bit directly in front is media then behind that, that's the courthouse. the courthouse steps. anyway, this, the scrum was up there. one of the guys ran ran across the street, and a van pulled up, loaded with police, who then jumped out, tackled via the person involved in the altercation and presumably arrested him. got them in a van, got that vehicle out of here and then pushed the remaining protesters back up before really that situation escalated and became more violent from there because definitely other protesters were starting to get into a pushing match. this is really the most volatile and the most tense that we've seen so far now that we've been here a little bit earlier today. the jury asked another question to the judge about

seeing some of the video evidence the jury wanted to review some of the video evidence again. and also the defense team filed another motion for a mistrial, contending and it has to do with drone video containing that they did not receive the same resolution and quality of video that the prosecution received. so they had push, you know, this has happened even during the, the overall trial that the defense was pushing for miss trial. you know, adding to the overall drama of the situation. and then of course, during the testimony car rittenhouse is emoji. well, testimony then a back and forth between thomas being or the chief prosecutor in the case and the judge brew schrader. and i hate to say it's become really kind of a circus carnival. ask atmosphere earlier today people showing up in costumes, people, you know, just odd the coops and the crazy look you lose showing up here. you know, the question then becomes what happens here in the city when a verdict is handed down. if that does indeed happen, the governor of wisconsin has activated early on scale by 500 national guard troops to be at the ready to help local law enforcement. if things get out of control,

once again, the hero now definitely get more vogel. definitely getting more volatile from c work of john, how they last year, a kyle rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, fatally. shell 2 people during a black lives matter rally in kenosha, which interrupted into a riots. several media commentators have presented races central to the trial, even though the men shot by mister rittenhouse during the unrest were white. and then he wanted, he wanted to do it because he was school or the black kid did that, kill 2 people and injured another person. how would america feel about that? i think it would be a completely different feeling if you want to know why critical race there exists, the actual loss will be re that emphasizes that supposedly colorblind laws in america often still have racially discriminatory outcomes. they look no further than the trial of cal rittenhouse. this is white privilege on steroids. as far as politics are concerned, what i'm focused on as

a trial lawyer observing this is what the potential political orientation of each of the jurors is going to be. the take of the mainstream media. meanwhile, kyle rittenhouse, his mother has accused president biden of defaming her son that's in response to a tweet from last year containing his image in which the then presidential nominee condemned white supremacist. the issue was raised that a recent white house briefing, why did president find suggest that kyle rittenhouse, bon trial in kenosha, is a white supremacist. so peter, at what i am not going to speak to right now is anything about an ongoing trial. we're waiting a verdicts beyond that, i'm not going to speak to any individuals or this case as the president has spoken to it already. and his mom now cow re nelson's mom came out saying that the president veined her son claims. she claims that when the president suggested herself why the premises, he was doing that to win both. that would happen. i just have nothing more to speak

to an ongoing case where the closing arguments were just may go ahead. well, we discussed the situation with law professor an author, allan dirt shabbots. he thinks joe biden, to interference in the case has influenced the media normative. you can't just call somebody a white supremacist without any evidence. that is both a matter of opinion, but it's also based on traction. if there's nothing in the background to support that. he's a white supremacist that would be defamation. so i think god, joe biden, the candidate made a serious mistake by intruding into the case and letting his opinion be heard whether a year later, it still has an influence. it's probably an indirect influence on establishing the media narrative, if the sure on the other foot, if this were a black lives matter protester who had shot electrically in self defense, then the hard last and the racial left would be very much in favor of the defending

the same people or condemning him would be crazy. so it's all hypocrisy. it's all about partisan choosing sides. it has nothing to do with truth. it has nothing to do with the evidence. it has nothing to do with honesty. it's all ideology, and it's all hypocrisy. hey, let's stay stateside. there is no let up in migrant arrests along the u. s. border with mexico, with 160000 people detained. last month alone, the influx of newcomers has overwhelmed border control. controversially, the children of apprehended migrants are separated from the parents and placed in special detention facilities. critics have branded them biden cages. that issue was heatedly debated in the u. s. senate on tuesday with senator ted cruz grilling the homeland security secretary over the democrats hunting of the christ. how many children had been in the biden cages and calendar year 20?

$21.00. a senator. i respectfully disagree with your use of the term cages help by the way. here's a photograph of the biden cages that as the senator i, that is precisely why articulated children sleeping on floors crashed in upon each other. when i took this photograph, the coven, right rate of covet positivity was over 10 percent. has joe biden been down to see this facility of yes or no. the president has not been down to. okay. no. has carla harris been down to see the biden cages? this facility, yes or no, the vice president was at the border. has she been down to see this facility? i know she went to el paso, has she seen the biden cages? they are not cages. and what are these walls, senator? that has carla harrison.
