of with this some peer moscow time head learning this, our austria imposes a nationwide logged out and says, vaccination will be mandatory from february, following a surgeon coven cases. more than half a century that so long america's drugs watchdog wants in order to release all the documents related to its approval of pfizer. cobit vaccine. it full of freedom of information request by a group of medics and sorta about a man on the f. b. i most wanted list to allegedly took part in january's capital riot who's turned up in belarus where he's now seeking asylum, a curious case we speak direct them to as newman, who claims the charges against him of false it was brought to my attention that i might be on that list and i looked, and i peered to be me and it said

a sofa federal officer, and i knew that i had not assaulted a federal officer. ah, oh, hello there life. marty's will des h q this friday 19th of november. my name's kevin owen, will welcome to the program. i've got to latest for you with this 1st story from the heart of europe and a big one to has been breaking all afternoon following a surgeon new covey cases there. austria, chancellors, announced a nationwide lockdown for least 10 days, starting on monday as well as a looming vaccination mandate from february, becoming the end. if that happens, the 1st european country demanding obligatory vaccinations. meantime, neighboring, germany's also considering the same kind of things my be his are europe correspondent, peter, all of a 1st and reporting 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 down. what it means though, is that unless you are going to school because education will remain open or you are 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 just not being the vaccine take up in the country to this

point. them to many political forces in this country have campaigned again in vaccination. the consequences of this r, overfilled intensive care units, and enormous human suffering. this decision does not come easily to us because none of us enjoys bringing on measures that the means on freedom. this decision was necessary because to many among doesn't have acted without a 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, 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 yen spawn, the health minister in berlin has to say, i know you're in a position that we can't exclude anything. we are in a national emergency. vaccinations won't be enough. at this point to stop the spread of coven 19 controls. i needed to stop the rise in covered 1000 cases. invoice 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, 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 austria, where i'm speaking to you from. yes. so more reaction i put these tougher co restrictions up for debate with our panel of guests. the impression i get is these

are serious panic measures by the politicians and i not belittling the shop rise in case numbers in austria, but my, my response to the politicians is where were you when your case numbers was slightly hi. hi. hi. i still am going up the time to i always is early and extensively. they need to stop being. i react cheap and acting on impulse because that's the worst time to make decisions. and i think that's the problem that we've got since pandemic, and began we're have his ball titian's been. i mean, if i look at how politicians have operated throughout europe, and here in the u. k, there was a lot of let the politicians do what they want. they didn't follow some of the mandates. they weren't wearing masks when they were supposed to be masks. and then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism in lifted restrictions. very early in coalition honey, real pressure because life has to go on,

people have to earn a living the economy also keep taken on at some point a suppose the politicians, cuz i've got their reputations on the line as well. are gonna say, well we, we were trying to ease up, we're trying to move forward the car. when can i, this is a failure of governance. this is a failure of the right to process it. so the scientists were saying, i early act extensively and you will controlling then the economy is trashed and they say you how people are trashing the economy. what they do not want to accept is the economy is trashed because you messed up. i was an elderly and firm patient, or for that reason could be susceptible to coven, where it could kill me. i would like to know that the health care professional that i've entrusted my life to is not going to without knowing it being on vaccinated, pos on the virus to me. but again, it goes back even if you've been vaccinating could you still pass it on? i oh no, i don't think it's quite i am specifically am to choose a section of the medic confession to say,

you know that we should be mandatory law. how are you? how is it mandatory when there's so much confusion going on? because a lot of people you're augusta should know because you've worked with the medical profession. i suppose. we all know medics look to you to do the best practice to do the best possible thing. we do the best thing for our patients, but the problem is, the guidance that we get given change is week by week is to confusion just as soon as we get you start one set of new wrong with a new policy. something else comes out which contradicts that how you're going to persuade the young persuaded so far that haven't been vaccinated, that it's the only way forward, the medic say, it's easier than retaining. so 1st thing you got to do is advise, inform, educate, reassure. second thing, you have to get back the message out and that message is very clear to manage with cove it, it has to be a multi land operation. it was never a one silver bullet solution. it does not work with just the vaccines. so the multi

layered approach is as follows, where your mosque, where a good quality mosque very properly get yourself immunized, get yourself immunized against seasonal influenza. finally have good ventilation and finally, finally, i promise you, good times will occur. good times will come. but what we've got to do for the 1st time though, that's the problem, that's where the politicians are floundered now. well, i know, but they messed it up. if they had acted a lot earlier, the world would have been in a better place. so many things to worry about gas prices are going up cove, it seems to be coming back for a 5th time and it still getting mixed messages from the politician. what's gonna happen is we head into a new year, maybe go into a 6th or 7th waiver this. well, i think there are 2 things i really want us to think about here. and as we try to push back to normal, 1st off, normal, wasn't that great for everybody. and so i know that all these things we're talking about are important. we want to get on with our lives, but normal wasn't great for people experiencing homelessness,

homeless. it wasn't great from experiencing racism. these are things that are continuing to exist. so if we go back to normal we, we need to be careful not to go back to, to what was some sort of nostalgia. and i also think we need employers at universities. big, big places that bring in lots of people into city centers to remember that there's going to be a social, a return here that people are going to have some anxieties. so we need to remember 2 things. remember, nostalgia is not always a good thing to normal, wasn't less that go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time. more than 50 is token. a time is how long america's drugs watchdog wants before a publicly release. his old documents relating to its approval of that pfizer cove at vaccine a group of medics have asked for the data under the freedom of information act and pointed out indeed that the f d. a needed barely a 100 days time scope before giving the job the go ahead. 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 finances 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's 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 ven tavia stepped up and discredited some of the other allegations that were published in the british medical journal. and this concern seems to have been discredited. so at the moment we have the lawsuit that was filed and we have these medical professionals saying they want this information. we expect us to be in court for some time, but at the moment the f. d a is offering to release 500 pages a month of the remaining 329000 pages. and that would take 55 years over half a century. next, american wants to buy the f. b, i for taking part of the capitol hill, ride travel to better roost. curious willis and seeking asylum. that ever newman faces charges that of violet and 3 on capital grounds and the sold on law enforcement officials during the events of january the 6. however, while he doesn't deny is presence there that day, he claims that the accusations against him a totally unfounded we spoke to have a newman direct us to how he got into bedroom the 1st place. i knew that i couldn't

cross the border of through the normal border guards because i would be arrested and, 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 snakes and wild boars and more spider thing. you can imagine i crossed there and, 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 f 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 has storming the capital. according to mister newman, he himself, ah, 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 well, somewhat popular theory that they were well. agents provocateurs, people, agitators who were provoking protest as you know, to do. illegal things have a listen. it was brought to my attention that i might be on that list. and i looked

and i peered, be me. and it said a sulfur 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. that's the 1st thing 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 way to 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. and this story, it is full of twist, is another one mister newman has 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 dnc stripped a bernie sand as 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 vote it was, it was like that. so that's why he initially decided to go and vote 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 start any new was. this is something that he cited as reason why he backed tromp and living in california. you know, being a pro trump 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 walls of hate against trump,

saying that he was insane saying that he was 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. 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. he goes down off a correspond there. now next the u. s. judge, i was saying the high profile homicide trial of col rittenhouse is described media

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

and he's john hud next. then reporting from outside the cortez in wisconsin, forwarding to canal police, and also the judge overseeing this case of brew schrader a. a possibly, a freelance producer with m. s. n. b c 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 location for the night. and this person was pulled over, suspected a 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 an assignment to do that, but bottom line here is that the judge is taking it very seriously and has bad now . and m s n b c 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 it, 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 a mis 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. the jury asked to see very important

drone video, which is at the center of the defense teams motion for a mistrial offense 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 a 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 how written, how saying he was a hero, defending the property of businesses and homeowners. during the riots here in protest in kenosha, wisconsin back in august 2020. and then those who say now he acted recklessly. he was a vigilante. he should have never been here with 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. from noon to tell you about now, india's prime minister scrubbed hugely unpopular foaming reform laws off to bolt a year of my protests over it. his announcement comes ahead of key elections though

in 2 northern states. sockhill friends today i'm asking for testing, farmers please return home to your farms and to your families. come, let's start a new beginning. i hundreds of thousands of farmers had refused to leave the streets and protested the plans to regulate the market, opening it up to local and international agricultural giants. there's a clue with some of those rallies turning violent. ah . 4 and then another twist international celebrities look, who's there helping to get the laws removed with environmental act of his credits and burg? tweeting her solidarity with the demonstrators, police say she also promoted a protest toolkit as has been described that led to

a surgeon violence which injured hundreds of police. let's bring in doctor a sure. i'm charlie, a professor and dina global policy institute. the gentle school of international affairs myself in the program was, could see, sir. now, 1st off, moto says he did this for the good of his country for the good of farmers that in by it and of the day just, he couldn't persuade them. he says, is it a victory for farmers against powerful agriculture companies, or is it not as simple as that? it's not as simple as that. i don't think all the farmers of india were going to be losers. in fact, they were going to be winners as a result of all these proposed farm laws. they will be in $500.00 reforms. he wanted to restructure the really an economy altogether, which has been subsystems based on the small firm based and where there were a lot of middle men between the farmers and the market. inefficient. yeah, maybe more efficient, streamline it and to renew rent seeking behavior by people in the mirror. but

you know, the resistance game mainly from my state of northern india, but you are, you know, and to elicit action. so you know, the big country, the farmers of the whole, you know, they're like 70 percent of the population. huge, a huge him, and i know it's just not how many people and it says subsistence economy as well. the wages are not good. the work is hard work is long and difficult conditions. why didn't they buy it than if it was a plan for the better? how come lose so much push, but yeah, well, you know, the political economy is always based on a majority of the vocal minority minority was vocal, the middleman, they organized the block, the roads, and you showed some of the protesters regarding to violence. and you know, writing and stuff like that. so i think it became very polarizing a lot of the opposition parties who have not been able to dislodge mr. moore the in elections. so an opportunity to try and dentist popularity or try and set him back

. so i think he walked to the transfer, made fun of the entire farm sector and he apologized to the people of india, saying that he could not convince a section of farmers, not all farmers. and in democracy you know, log jammed up all come. sometimes the ruling parties have to make a retreat that actually go retreat. i see this as, you know, unfortunate development. ideally you should have gone through. but in quite that, credit thornburg is rheana on social media, on twitter, giving their support for the farmers. how and politically involved with a well, i think a lot of the international so far the activism be logged into this whole movement believing that this is some big you know, masa uprising against what beside the right, doing the tutor. that's how they voted mr. moore, the which was very wrong,

but i think that was limited. it was more like the domestic opposition parties. you know, a lot of them back so far movement. they're celebrated to be believing that this is that rick repeat, but i'm afraid from the point of no be marginal and subsystems be farmers. they'd like to go back for them. the more you still empower, he's still very popular. one would hope that the refunds will continue in some form or the other and that the farmers, they'd be as well to double the bomb was incomes in years to come. and he wants to bake that will improve their access to market, and that remains his ultimate goal. but for now, yes sir, i'm thank you from the dental school of international affairs. there are new delhi, appreciate you telling us a bit more about the stories going on a while, isn't it? come back to us if it changes. no story coming in from russia. big response for moscow. moscow's heavily criticized nato plans to move nuclear weapons closer to russia's borders. warning the hostile actions completely contradict cremeans

efforts to improve relations with the military blog in the brussels. they've conclusively lost all connection with reality. instead of responding to russia, cool to de escalate tensions in europe, the may message from the alliance is that a nuclear terms. nature will move even closer to the borders of our country. i wish let's get more or less from our correspondence to portray and what else did the russian foreign ministry have to say? kevin, good evening. well, he said out, indeed the rhetoric is very strong. and we do have to understand that any kind of nato expansion to the east towards russian borders really acts like a massive red rag to a ball. and of course, if we're talking nuclear weapons, the outrage, the fury from moscow do expected to be even stronger. and so the reaction to the

latest comments by nato's number one boss was very quick. and again, when the working side is saying that nato is losing touch with reality, what they're really worried about is the collective security in europe and all the previous agreements and the balance that was being kept for years if the decade now here's what else, the representative of the russian foreign minister said if you really said that it means that the needs are for which the thick, 3, generally the collective voice, the russian native founding act no longer exists. of this document enshrines the alliance is fundamental obligations for european security, including those in the nuclear field. now of us, nuclear bombs are stationed on the german soil and in emergency situations. they can also be carried by german military jets. now young salt and berg made these

comments after a series of very important meetings, but i just want to make it clear that for now these aren't needles plans, though. he's saying that if germany decides to give up nuclear weapons, all options are on the table for nato, including moving leaves, nuclear weapons, further east n, as in that, in that case, they will indeed appear on russia's doorstep. so all 4 think some of the other comments from against oldenburg listen to that one. if you found with us here the oven team, as i expected, the germ that will continue to be part of nuclear sharing. because it is so important for the whole of europe, and it's a multilateral framework. jewel turner to, to natal, nuclear sharing is different kinds of bilateral arrangements. so germany kind of course decide whether there will be a nuclear weapons in your country. but, but, but, but alternative is that we easily end up with nuclear weapons in all the countries in europe also to the east of germany. so the vision from this side of the

barricade, the vision from moscow. and the message is that nato really wants to decide whether, whether it's next steps at once to deescalate the tensions in europe or a move through for us to more confrontation. and definitely, as the russian diplomats are putting it at this common bi yen stolen burg, isn't really something that's going to improve relations at all. no, not at all, especially we talk and such serious stuff as nuclear weapons or i earlier thanks to bring this up speed there. keep us posted, a correspondent lip, a trunk hip. it's now we're 30, the half bits minutes past the i was there today with all the views and officers day that big story tough. you locked her this but announce nationwide. call it brace her in half an hour. my name's kevin. oh, it. thank you for watching this news addition here live on our to international from russia.
