westchester, something's going to happen ah, by the fire from moscow you without international in our headlines, auster imposes a nationwide locked out and says vaccination will be mandatory to from february following a surgeon covey cases. more than half a century. that is how long america's drugs watchdog once in order to release all the documents relating to its approval of phases cove, it vaccines. it follows a freedom of information request than by a group of medic. at a man on the efi i's most wanted list to allegedly took part in january's capital. riot turns up in belarus where he's now seeking asylum. we speak a wreck to evan newman, who claims the charges against him of false ah,

oh, hello. there live from ortiz, world news, h q, this friday 19th in november. my name's kevin owen, will welcome to the program. i've got a latest for you. there's that big news that came in from the heart. a european falling surge in new coven cases. the austria's chancellors announced a nationwide locked down for least 10 days, starting on monday as well as a looming vaccination mandate as well to come in early new year. in february it will become the 1st european country demanding obligatory vaccinations. if that happens, that the same time now at neighboring germany, so considering similar measures to for a potential lockdown covering it or your correspondence. peter oliver with the latest from austria, alexander shalon, berkeley, austria and chancellor saying that the whole country will be going into a new lock down for monday at

a last at least 10 days. it could well last until the 13th of december. after that 6 ended, though only the own vaccinated will remain in the lock. now what it means though, is that unless you are going to school because education will remain open or you're taking somebody to school, then you are going to have to remain in your home unless you're going out to get food, your seeking medical assistance, or you're going for some exercise in your local area from the 1st of february, austria will become the 1st year a p and country to make vaccination mandatory. those people that don't fit into a criteria of either being pregnant or having a legitimate medical reason for not getting a vaccine. we'll have to get one. he said that it wasn't something he wanted to announce, but the fact is that it's just not being the vaccine take up in the country to this point. them to many political forces in this country have campaigned against

vaccination. the consequences of this r, overfilled intensive care units, and enormous human suffering. this decision does not come easily to us. none of us enjoys bringing in meshes that puts them in on freedom. this decision was necessary because too many a mongers have acted with out solidarity. there's also concerns about the health care system in germany just over the border. we heard on friday from the president of the robert cock institute, that's germany's public health authority, saying that to g isn't working at the moment now to g. is the system by which are only if you've got a proof of vaccination or you've got proof that you've recovered from covert in the last 6 months that you can have access to things like bars, restaurants, and it's something more needs to be done. he didn't say lockdown that was noticeably missing from the, the press conference that was given. but looking at what's happened here in austria, it does seem like not maybe the direction germany is heading,

particularly when you take into account what again spawn the health minister in berlin, hot to say, and we are in a position that we can't exclude anything. we are in a national emergency. vaccinations will be enough at this point to stop the spread of curve at 19 controls. i needed to stop the rise income in 1000 cases. for the situation is increasingly bonds in some parts of germany. if we look in the states of bavaria in germany, south we're seeing intensive care. busy beds there in extremely short supply. in fact, some patients are already being taken in by hospitals in italy that have more capacity right now, a situation that is developing and it's not developing in the right way or certainly not in the way we would like to see at the moment across germany or for that matter, here in australia where i'm speaking to you from. yeah, unless we're going to go back to now for wellness, developing situation rejoined by professor bob javan of the rudolph center house foundation hospital in vienna. hey that thanks your time today. was great news for

you. your fellow countrymen, isn't it. he you go again to try and stay off a 5th wave. you go into a lot done, a medic aside as a human being what you feel about that 1st? well, it's very unfortunate that nobody was locked down and the human and here are nature to be locked down for considering the fact of ribbon incidence of 900 or 100000 population, roughly new 2000 new infection in 24 hours. listen, there is nothing else we can do. this is an emergency break realty. yeah. and you know, you're on 5, it's of, it's a, it's a big world as a small planet. so if you're saying this in austria, i bet it's not gonna be too long before we see similar things playing out in the rest of europe. what you think when ready to go back to this is leticia nor am i. am i entitled to, to, to report to the 2nd, the very honest with you is clearly

a failure of politics. failure. politics will meet decisions too late and be didn't listen to the doctors. you know, we haven't really very actual medical care system. actual an experts in every field . our medical decisions have been pushing so many new things and basically listen to the politics. just listen to politics or not. so madison, the result that you get, but you have money to win over or let's talk about it from the, from the medical professional side, you are the best medical professional advice w joe said the way forward is vaccines no other way. but despite that strong message, not enough people have been vaccinated. you're still pretty much, you're pretty low in europe as regards vaccinated people, you just paid 66 percent. it wasn't enough to head off a lockdown. so mixed messages for the medics as well. well, no, actually i do agree with you. i understand what you're trying to say. but the point is, the reason why we have a little initial rate around 6065 percent,

which is one of the lowest. you're not at austrian, don't understand medicine, don't understand the situation or the seriousness of the situation. what is that? we have possibilities today we can use and you can go already every country that scare people, even in my surroundings, like if i people think that if you get back to your insurance company, follow you all over the way you have for some magazine in your body. that makes a coin stick to your arm if you believe those kind of things. obviously you're not going to get a jack and not going to get back seems this is just a new and unfortunately, some people are very susceptible and credible for this. and believe this is scary. biggest problem is this. you know, we're talking about the end of the web share. ok, you're the 1st in europe to have a lockdown again. now. now we're seeing these mandatory vaccinations coming in early in the new year. soon end of the wedge for the rest of europe. this is on

a more to come because government, so just sick of trying to persuade people to get vaccinated and equally the people haven't got vaccinated this far. they haven't done it already. they're unlikely, i suppose. and less as a massive push to do it. now i the other day, i totally agree with you. back commission is a solution. we need to get back to needed. we need to vaccinate our appellation and it is mandatory. it shouldn't be, shall be mandatory. this is the only way to austria or general go story 2020 to do for us. physicians concern is that even too late when we go around to your office? i got that question. as a, as a medic may be the, the message that is being pulled out to the public from various countries around the world as they all deal with this is still not been clear enough. this is why it's called so much confusion amongst people. i'm still unclear if you've vaccinated, can you catch it? be a symptomatic, still positive when old vulnerable, etc. again, this is not really been spelled out anywhere as far as i can see, clearly enough for people. absolutely. this is the reason why people are more

vaccinated also need to go on the lot of them because obviously when you have a lot of down, you locked down everybody, that's the plan in australia right now. you don't believe that i'm actually native which are the risk groups in the intensive care unit. so remember these measures one primary goal is to allow hospitals to treat patients and prevent people literally. i want to like on the street. i want to squeeze it real quick. one last medical care people, medical care experts, health care workers. should they be vaccinated and should it be mandatory? quick, 100 percent. thank you for your type of fest, bob javan. of the world of finance foundational for them. vienna both to go into the locked we wish you well you can have your hands tied up doing your best for people, but thank you for making some time to come on our show. thank you very much. so your opinions, not the ones that really over code, restrictions and outcry in the u. s. has put the brakes on jo biden's mandates to

increase vaccination rates. there is an initial idea concern businesses with more than $100.00 employees. you may remember with a possible finance, more than $100000.00 if the workers were left on jobs, but numerous states of loans to legal battle against the measures. so saying just now the world health organization is repeatedly stood up for vaccines is an effective form of protection against the virus. but mandatory jobs remain a while the controversial issue. we discussed it all with a panel of guests. there's a couple of really important things are number one, the fact that you're going to have a huge backlash across europe, right? because people who are already frustrated with this idea of green passes vaccine passports. but there's a bigger issue here. and i think the bigger issue is the fact that yes, cases are rising right now. but there is no evidence so far that the cases are writing because of people who are unvaccinated. remember, we know the data shows up vaccines, don't prevent the spread of, of, of the virus, nor do they prevent the contraction of the virus. how many of these new cases are

actually the result of people who are vaccinated as opposed to unvaccinated? and if that is the case, then it makes no sense to create 2 classes of people and locked down the unvaccinated and let the vaccinated continue to affect each other. well, i'm thinking of this, you classes of people, i mean, and it looks like that's kind of what it's coming to culturally. you have the vaccinated who are allowed to do whatever they want, and then you had the unvaccinated, we're facing increasing restrictions. what are your long term impacts that especially in a region where we've seen protests over it over the last year, it was the mostly the government's telling people to lockdown and giving them instructions in the last 6 months in america, they've been using the businesses to say we're going to mandate something. it's caused a different kind of attention from say, the real impacts. lots of people, including backside people are saying we don't trust what's coming from the government by demonstration, backed off on their december 8th mandate, their be, they realize the public's against them. the real question is going to be as what happens in the local communities in california. where they do have those rules in florida where they don't, you know,

we're going to see this kind of tension rising. other related cobra news more than 50 years is how long america's drugs watched or once before republican releases all documents relating to its approval of that pfizer covey vaccine. a group of medics of us for the dates and i went to the freedom of information act and point to that to want to get but the f. d 8 needed barely a 100 days before giving the job the go ahead in the 1st place. this $100.00 a day period is the same amount of time. it took the f d a to review the responsive documents for the far more intricate task of licensing fighters cove. in 1900 vaccine. it is difficult to imagine a greater need for transparency than immediate disclosure of the documents relied upon by the f d. a to license a product that is now being mandated over 100000000 americans. we have a situation here where, because there has been a freedom of information act request filed for the information about how the vaccines were approved. we have the us food and drug administration stepping

forward and proposing to release $500.00 pages per month of the remaining $329000.00 pages. that would take roughly 55 years 55 years for this information to be made available. now the organization that filed the, the request public health and medical professionals for transparency says that if that pace of 500 pages per month proceeds that makes the freedom of information, act almost meaningless. and it discredits the food and drug administration is promise to be transparent, the f. d. a knew the intense public interest in that data and information. it should have been preparing to release of civil tenuously with the licensure. instead, it has done the opposite. this case is not about vaccine mandates, where the fines that can be held liable. this is a fire case where the only relevant issue at this stage in the litigation is setting a reasonable processing schedule. now it's important to note that one of the companies

that was involved in the trial of the pfizer vaccine has recently faced a little bit of a scandal brought to light by a whistleblower. this article was published in the medical british medical journal . now the report from last month in which we had a former clinical trial auditor for the pfizer coded vaccine raising deep concerns about patient safety and about data integrity. during the process, however, a spokesperson for van tavia stepped up and discredit. some of the other allegations that were published in the british medical journal in this concern seems to have been discredited. so at the moment, or we have the law suit i that was filed and we have these medical professionals saying they want this information or we expect us to be in court for some time. but at the moment, the fda is offering to release 500 pages a month of the remaining 329000 pages. and that would take 55 years over half a century. next theories judge i was seeing the high profile homicide trial of tile

. written house has described media coverage of the polarizing cases, irresponsible, even scary, the defendants chance with killing 2 people and wounding another at a racial justice protest. last year, the judge says that due to certain media antics now as he described it, ill reconsider allowing journalists into future cases when i talked about am problems with the media when this trial started we're there in part or not, but in part, because of grossly irresponsible handling of what comes out of this trial warranty . what's being done is really quite frightening. i'm going to think long and heard about a live television trail. well, the judge is already bought. u. s. t v news network i miss and be saved from the courtroom on allegations that a freelance producer working for the out that attempted to influence the ongoing trial by tailing of van carrying the jury that's against the law to undermine the

jury's anonymity axis. john hardy, next the, the reporting from the cortez in wisconsin. according to commercial police. and also the judge overseeing this case of brew schrader a, a possibly a freelance producer where they're mess nbc was pulled over in the vicinity of the jury van after it left the court house here last night. after day 2 of the deliberations ended, the jury generally goes to an undisclosed location, a hotel, you know, other locations for the night. and this person was pulled over suspected of following the jury van and even possibly taking pictures. and when i taught, when confronted by police told police that they were an m s, n b c producer under instructions from new york to follow this jury van now and be say, is distancing itself released a statement saying it was a freelancer, was never, you know, given me assignment to do that, but bottom line here is that the judge is taking it very seriously and has bad now . and, and i said be say from further covering in the court the,

the ongoing proceedings as media. there are rules and regulations. we have to follow covering trials and cases in here in the united states. i'm sure overseas as well. but, you know, here in the united states you never take pictures of the jury that's, that's rule number one and it's for the jury safety and also to protect the integrity of the trial. so if at the embassy, nbc, freelance, producer, producer, whatever was following the jury than that is that's a really bad move and it looks, it makes all of us look bad, frankly. so whether that affects the overall proceedings results in, in this trial, probably not. again, it doesn't look like any pictures were posted on line or went out of the jury, but it's a serious matter. it's being taken seriously. obviously, as you heard the judge say that said we're in day 3 of the deliberations in the car . rittenhouse homicide trial. he's facing fire charges and could most serious charge homicide murder in other states that would basically if again convicted, he would spend the rest of his life in prison. a jury asked to see very important

drone video, which is at the center of the defense teams motion for a mistrial defense saying that they did not receive the same type of high resolution video that the prosecution had. it's unlikely the judge will declare a mistrial based upon that, but it's the 2nd motion for a mistrial. the defense team has filed in the last week in regards to the case a case that has really polarized many americans, those who support col. rittenhouse say he was a hero, defending the property of businesses and homeowners during the riots here and protests in kenosha, wisconsin back in august 2020. and those who say now he acted recklessly. he was a vigilante. he should never been here when a gun, he was already adding to a volatile situation that ultimately turned deadly with him, shooting and killing 2 people and badly wounding a 3rd. the evidence on american multiple, the f b i for taking part of the capitol hill right? mean times travel to better routes and is seeking asylum there. ever. newman faces

challenges of violent entry, old capital crimes, and the soul to law enforcement officials during the events back in joe to the 6. however, while he doesn't deny his presence there that day, he goes on to claim that the accusations against him are unfounded. we asked ever newman how he got into barrows. i knew that i couldn't cross the border i through the normal border guards because i would be arrested and delivered to the americans as a, as a gift for the upcoming summit. and i found a national forest on a map, but it was a swamp with, with snakes and wild boars and more spider thing. you can imagine i crossed there and it was more adventurous than i anticipated. well, it was an unusual conversation to have, you know, with an american who is now seeking political asylum in an eastern european nation that many will have trouble pinpointing on the map. but according to mister newman, he did not flee the united states. his departure had nothing to do with the criminal case against him. apparently he found himself on

a business trip in europe. and essentially, i then only later, he made a decision to cross the border into belarus and, you know, try and seek political asylum. them. he got on the b i's most wanted list over his involvement in the january. the 6th protest in washington d. c, which ended up with, you know, trump support is storming the capital. according to mister newman, he himself farm. he believes he did nothing wrong. he did nothing illegal, i should say in a conversation with me. he refused to confirm or deny though, the fact that he might have crossed you know the threshold and found himself inside, ah, the capital. but also at the same time as he believes that he did nothing illegal. i, he vehemently refuted the claims that he, for example, attacked a police officer. he told me that he regretted doing many things on that day. it was quite interesting to hear his account of events during that day, as he also shed some light on the you know,

a while somewhat popular theory that they were well. agents provocateurs, people, agitators who were provoking protest as you know, to do illegal things. have allison, it was brought to my attention that i might be on that list. and i looked and i peered me me and it said a sofa federal officer. and i knew that i had not assaulted a federal officer. number one, i promised somebody that i would stand back in the crowd and i didn't hold that promise. um, that's the 1st thing that i regret. there was a man who came up in the beginning ah, when i, when i got there and he broke a window with a hammer. but then he walked away and down down the steps and away somewhere else. and then he came back about 15 minutes later. and broke away all the glass so that it was a clean wait enter, and then gestured to us to enter. well, it has to be said that there is no solid proof to back any of such claims. well,

and this story, it is full of twist is another one. mister newman is originally from california, you know, america's blue estate, and he is a registered democrat on top of that. what prompted him to give his vote to trump back in 2016 was. according to mister newman, the way the d and c treated the bernie sanders campaign. he told me that essentially he believes that the d and c stripped bernie sanders of a fair chance that you know, representing being the main runner of the party back in 2016. and when he saw all the negativity going, the trump way old, the hate he just, he just, you know, gave a protest for donald trump back in 2016. last year he told me he voted consciously that he's teased. he cited things like economy or the fact that donald trump did not stop any new was. this is something that he cited as reason why he backed trump and living in california. you know, being a pro crump guy. it is difficult,

he told me, and i had some serious speak easy vibes going off, how he described the lifestyle of him and those who thinks like him hemorrhage, a democrat. i'm not a republican. there was a wall of hate against trump, saying that he was insane saying that he crazy saying all these things and i disapprove of that so much. but i voted for trump in 2016. the trump supporters in california don't. the ones that i knew of don't really congregate and, and you, everybody's on the down low about it. you know, every now and then somebody comes to me secretly, quietly. everything has to be secretive, otherwise you're socially ostracize me. so it does sound a little bit like prohibition except this time in a political way. now mr. newman is also very concerned about his family, which is back home, back in california. and he hopes that some day he will be able to see them again in california. as a free man,

but so far he sees the chances of that happening as quite slim latent meddling. that's 3 action then from russia or off to you as congressman threatens at no longer recognize vladimir putin, his presidency, if he's re elected in 2024. while a correspondent, danny armstrong tells us more about that thought. so this is the proposed resolution from u. s. congress to us congressman, in particular, us steve cohen and joe wilson, one democrat, and one republican who say they won't recognize vladimir putin as a russian president. should he run for office and be re elected in 2024? they have cited the amendments made to the russian constitution back in april. the effectively reset the previous presidential terms and gave putin a green light to run for office in 2024. of course he's serving currently the 2nd 6 year term. it would allow him to ruin in 2024 and then in 2020, at the end of his 1st 6 year tim, theoretically,

but it's exactly that which has upset the u. s. now, despite the amendments being voted for by 77 percent of the russian population, the u. s. is called a violation of the laws of the russian federation and going against completely everything that russia should stand full on the international arena. the 2020 amendment to the russian constitution were enacted in violation of the laws and international commitments of the russian federation. the waiver of the presidential term limit resulting from those amendments is illegitimate. any attempt by vladimir putin to remain in office beyond the end of his current and final term shall warn non recognition on the part of the united states. now, of course, as you can imagine, this has precipitated a swift reaction from moscow who say the amendments are legal and now constitutional one politician as warned, it could lead to a full breakdown in communications between russia and the u. s. but this of course depends on a lot of things. it depends on whether vladimir putin should so wish it's

a stand for re election in 2024 if he gets reelected. and then if it's a question of whether the resolution becomes accepted on the us side and then it would lead her to this full breakdown as it were in their communications between the 2 countries neutral region. we saw the proposed resolution every time we think we couldn't hear something more absurd, more aggressive unfriendly and because just from across the ocean and every time we are mistaken, we do here is we can seriously yet another perfect demonstration of how the u. s. officially metals in other countries, domestic affairs, which of course is early days. and he certainly doors in these talks as it were. the proposition for the resolution has only been released today and then this reaction from moscow. so it does depend on a lot of things, of course, for the blog, putin to so wish to ruin be reelected and whether we accepted on the us side. but of course it could be repercussions, but it's something that is still in the embryonic stages. final and for now with

winter on its way years, energy crisis shows no sign of letting up gas prices a bounce back to the high season, back in october and a 5 times hard. and they were just a year ago. the increase came now than right off to germany suspended certification of an old stream to the new gas pipeline for russia. germany's and she regulator insisting that the pipelines operator has to be registered as a german entity. while in fact, the old string to company is based in switzerland. we discussed it with close ernst . he's a member of the german parliament who says it is going to be the public who suffer this crucial tom here does. it should be the only correlates into the which this is unfortunate because the german as well as european customers, will eventually pay for such delays into it is necessary indeed that the pipeline opening is expedited as soon as possible for the gas to start flowing and fill out the storage facilities office and off the federal government. if the current gas price increase has something to do with russia not fulfilling its contractual

obligations, i have received confirmation to the russia has fulfilled all its contracts, and there is no information proving otherwise. this notion raw the shows that here we have politically biased people who blame russia for anything that goes wrong, that he can, we do have other pipelines that operationalize, we still have nor stream one and several other pipelines that allow us to obtain russian gas. however, because the netherlands, no way of planning to cope gas production, i see that nodes trained to will be vital to increase the gas supply, bringing i can only worn not to further politicize. the issue of europe's energy supply. germany alone has made plenty of mistakes and it will be very wrong to drive to the extreme. it is not that russia does not want to supply, rather it's a problem with those countries of transit that can abuse these circumstances. and so i would like to warn you not to mix politics and not to take advantage of this situation around by the roost, as it may once again, eventually lead to a discussion about the fight of this pipeline was who configured. if you watch the

clocks exactly 29 and it's no past the hour stared today with all the news that of austria today. that tough new lockdown has been announced countrywide, for now though it's kevin o in. thank you for watching a stay with us as well. half now the great company, a sophie shevardnadze, the latest special guess for you. after the break, you without international, the global broadcaster life from russian. ah, there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is a growing e u barrier stand off over illegal migration. there are western reports. russia is amassing troops within its own borders. and of course, there is the self inflicted crisis of european energy supplies. it is no coincidence somewhere calling this hybrid war. but who is hybrid war against whom?

there is a patch of water around the try, a seal island that's in contention between canada and the united states, where the government has suddenly become optimal for lobster. our populations here is exploded. one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had me and canadian fishermen in these waters at the same time jousting for position and tension or 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 host countries. border disputes don't go away, they just fester. something's going to happen.
