stella, this happens, you lost kaiser report. ah, ah ortiz headline news. austria imposes a nationwide lockdown and says vaccinations will be mandatory from february following a surgeon cobit cases. one of the, at the eyes most wanted who allegedly took part in january's capital riots turns up in belarus where he is seeking asylum at the newman tells are to the charges against them a false it was brought to my attention that i might be on that list and i looked and it appeared to be me and it said a sofa federal officer, and i knew that i had not assaulted a federal officer. and moscow wants that nato is snubbing the kremlin efforts to improve relations. does the military alliance looks to move nuclear weapons closer to russia's boulders? ah!

hello, good, happy with this friday evening and 9 here in moscow. my name is colleen bray with the world news from arte international. first, the dominating story in europe as we head into the weekend and following a search in new covey cases. in austria, the chancellor has announced a nationwide lockdown for at least 10 days, starting this coming monday. as well as a lubing vaccination mandate from february, becoming in that instance, the 1st european country demanding obligatory vaccinations. neighboring germany is also considering similar meshes or europe corresponded peter oliver reports next from inside austria. alexander schellenberg, the austrian 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 limits on freedom. this decision was necessary because too many among us have acted with out solidarity. there's also concerns about the health care system in germany just over the border. we've heard on friday from the president of the robert cock institute, that's germany. 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 that may be the direction germany is heading. particularly when you take into account what yen spawn, the health minister in berlin had to say. and we are 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 for the situation is increasingly bonds in some parts of germany. if we look in the states of bavaria and germany south, we're seeing intensive care. busy beds there. busy 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, or kevin, i'm in discuss these tougher covered restrictions with a panel of medical and social science experts. 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 a pandemic and began to fall tissues that i mean, if i look at how additions 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 peer masks. and then they bowed to the pressures of business in capitalism and lifted restrictions very early. i'm totally sure, let me real pressure because life has to go on. people have to earn a living, the economy has to keep taken on at some point a suppose the politicians because they've got their reputations on the line as well. i'm going to 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, 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. so 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. but even if you've been vaccinated, 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 med confession to site. you know that we should be mandatory, right? how are you? how is it mandatory when there's so much confusion going on? because a lot of people you're a goes to should know because you've worked with the medical profession. i suppose we all the us know medics look to you to do the best practice to do the best

possible thing. we do 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 are you going to persuade the and persuaded so far that haven't been vaccinated? that it's the only way forward, the medic say it's easier than repaying. so 1st thing you got to do is advise, inform, educate, reassure. second thing, you have to get that 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, where it 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 is the 1st

term though that's the problem. that's why the politicians of flounder 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 going up cove, it seems to be coming back for a 5th time. and it still getting mixed messages from the politicians. what's gonna happen is we had into a new year, maybe go into a 6th or 7th wave of this. well, i think there are 2 things that 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. been normal, wasn't great from experiencing homelessness, homo. it wasn't brief, 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 there 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. normal wasn't last that go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time an american wanted by the f. b i for taking part in the capitol hill. riots has traveled to bella roofs and the seeking asylum that have been human faces. charges of violent entry on capital grounds on the sultan lor inforcement officials during the events of january. the 6th. however, when he doesn't deny his present slay that day, he claims that the accusations against him are unfounded. we all step in dubin, how he got into bellows. i knew that i couldn't cross the border 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 the 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 b i's most wanted list over his involvement in the january. the 6th protest in washington, d. c. which ended up you with the, you know, trump support is 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 me 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 that i regret. there was

a man who came up in the beginning i, 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 it 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 bernie sanders of a fair chance, said, 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 ceased. 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 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 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. moscow has heavily criticized night. so off the head of the military blog said it may move nuclear weapons. closer to brushes, boulders, the russian foreign ministry bones that the hostile actions completely contradict the criminal's efforts to improve relations in the brussels. they've conclusively lost all connection with reality. instead of responding to russia, cool to de escalate tensions in europe, the main message from the alliance is that

a nuclear terms? nature will move even closer to the borders of our country. well, the thing is that always any kind of nato expansion to the east towards rushes borders, always act like a huge red rag to a ball for moscow. and of course, if we're talking about something as serious as nukes, we should have expected the fury from the bowl or the bear, i should say, to be even stronger. this is why the reaction from russia diplomats to the latest common spot nato's number one boss was very quick. you don't losing connection with reality. that is a very serious accusation. and here's why the government in moscow is making it. it's because it doesn't want the fundamentals of the european security balance to be undermined in any possible way. if you really said that it means that the needs are for which the thick to 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. install of arg was in the midst of some very important meetings, including one with outgoing german chancellor anglo merkel. when he made these latest comments, for now us nuclear bombs are stationed on german soil and in emergency situations. they can also be carried by german military dress, but the distance still from germany, borders to russian borders is quite significant. if berlin decides to give up the agreement to have he was a nuclear weapons on his territory, then natal boss is saying they're ready to move them further east. and then they'll be found right on rushes doorstep. i expected germany will continues to be part of nuclear sharing because it is so important for the whole of europe. and it's a multilateral framework. dual turner to,

to natal nuclear sharing is different kinds of bilateral arrangements. germany kind of course decide whether there will be a nuclear weapons in your country. but, but, but, but you'll turn into his that we, he, so it 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 message to nato from moscow has been very clear. you really do have to choose whether you want to escalate your attentions even further and possibly even contribute to a new arms race. or you want to maintain the relative stability in nuclear security in europe. and so saying out loud that the alliance is ready to move the nukes that close to the rushing water definitely isn't something that is going to help. india's prime minister has scrapped hugely on popular farming reform laws after more than a year of mass demonstrations as announcement incidentally comes ahead of k

elections into northern states. i talk to 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'd hundreds of thousands of farmers had refused to leave the streets around new deleon protest at the plans to deregulate the market and open it up to local and international agricultural giants. some of those rallies have turned violent. ah . 4 all along the way international celebrities have also got involved over this with the likes of singer rhianna and environmental activist gretta tom berg tweeting, solidarity with the demonstrators. police even launched a probe into a protest toolkit chair by tomba to help the farmers. dr. 3 ram charlie,

or of the gin del school of international affairs told r t either the foreign activists should not have interfered. this is nick, i'm more concerned now because a lot of these are so called wolf glue activists. internationally are latching onto such causes in many countries, and they are trying to fuel the fires and spread the perception that you know, governments are going against. they don't, people's will double rates or have been bought my corporate houses, and they go against the of the marginalized and the poor. and that's how they're presenting these things, which is not true. actually, the farm laws, one mental empowered the poor and the marginalized bombers. and to give them access to markets and improve their income to and lightly groups. so it's really sad that some of these international celebrities and deliveries are done biggest and the,

i don't think they're in their, in by themselves capable of starting these robust. but once the local robust begin for whatever reason do the local political, then these international so called social media celebrities and all are jumping in on the bandwagon. and they have very little extra knowledge or understanding of what is really happening on the ground. now some breaking news in the past few minutes in the u. s. trial of col written house. the jury has found him not guilty on all 5 charges for the killing of 2 people at a racial justice protest. last year, may well the judge in the high profile cases describe media coverage as irresponsible and even frightening, adding that their behavior may force him to reconsider, allowing journalists into future cases. so let's get thoughts on. let's bring in legal media, analyst, lionel. first of all, how surprised are you that are not guilty on all counts? ah, not guilty,

not surprised on all counts. absolutely. if i had to bet, i would have said maybe they could have gone guilty on a, a lesser charge of endangering the public. being reckless, where they a weapon this way they could have said, almost a compromise of verdict will reject the serious cases or the serious charges of homicide. first degree murder, it was certainly no intend to kill. and it was provoked and self defense. but i, this is a stunning, stunning rebuke of one of the worst prosecutions i have ever seen in 30. 6 8 years in the business, it was, i mean this makes it, this makes the o j. simpson case look like textbook perfection. it was one error after another just as has been served. but let me tell you what we're doing. now. there

is a side issue. when ours the riots going to start this is what people are saying will there be problems will there. a be upset, but this is the sad part about that. we have victory in a court room. but right now everybody is asking the question, are there going to be enough people to, to maintain order? because i was in new york during the last summer, and i don't want to see anybody go through that again. it certainly cannot. she doesn't want to see it again, either and perhaps preempting that line all the judge did warm that any public reaction to whatever verdicts came out. people should temper that responses. otherwise, law enforcement will get involved. perhaps in thinking this isn't going to end quietly on the street. want to give to like i bought this and i bought this michael or the you have professional agents provide good tours. we had here in new york

city a and a ledger. i met her, kate, can a person with black lives matter. tell the new mayor that there would be blood shed unless he completed comported with the demand. this was one of the worst prosecutions i have ever seen. virtually every constitutional rights of this young man was violated. in one way or another, i don't want to get too much into the weeds, but they're going to be showing this to law school classes from now on what not to do. and though media the left, why guess you were column left wing. why whatever the, the a biden shadow government media are. it was on the lever, bought the president, calling this man a racist, or a weight of premises or what have you. i mean it, it was,

i couldn't believe i couldn't believe when i was seen because at a hall this man has, i hope please observe police i was gonna say because of the incredibly emotive inflammatory language used throughout this trial. how much of an impact do you think that might have had on the jury? and i know jury's are, have been specifically chosen. and the judge praised the jury said, they're extremely strong minded and were in what they were doing. but there's little getting away from the fact that emotional language throughout this trial has left the families of 2 men feeling that there hasn't been justice. that's how they're going to see it in their grief. because you're, you know, okay, when ever someone has lost a loved one, a member of their family and their, their idea of justice for, for these thought irrespective of these, these are people and their past,

which i'll let you do the research. i understand exactly. but think about this, what does it mean when you have night after night 247 on all of the major media platforms going after this young man, basically calling for his conviction. i'd have had no effect whatsoever. people were worried that the jurors would be, so you worried about perhaps not just with your euro, inciting riots in unrest being that they would find someone guilty. apparently it had no effect whatsoever. justice prevailed that this was absolute here. textbook, the 100 percent self defense. you're never okay. clear and protect the proud of my worried about was there was a products and sorry, well before you got to stop deploying. oh, really appreciate you putting a legal eye across is for us live in new york line or thanks for that one. okay, this is what's happening right outside the cold room. now where within the past few

minutes, those people have learned that coll rittenhouse was found not guilty on all 5 charges against him. let's go live to, i'll teach you on the heidi. he said now john col rittenhouse was shaking. is the jewelry, read out that verdict him what's been an emotionally charged case all around. so what's it like out there now? german, right. well, a stunning turn of events certainly are not guilty on all counts. well, let me step out of the way and i'll set the scene for you. so when the verdict was reached, when it was handed down that there were there, you could say a huge crowd has gathered on the steps of the court house and a cheer when i saw a lot of people who were here supporting kyle written house. there are also those who have been here throughout this trial and throughout the deliberations as we've shown you john viewers who were against how written ties who were pushing for

a for a guilty verdict. and they are talking to the media. they're obviously upset about it. but we're hearing a lot of people driving by all the horns saying, you know, yeah. j. kyle: so obviously it it, like i said, a stunning turn of events. after 20 more than 23 hours of deliberations, the jury handed down his verdict. as i stepped back in to the camera view here, we weren't sure which way was going to go there. the, you know, there was reports last night that one of the jury members took home the 36 pages of jury instructions that's kind of caught everybody by surprise. we didn't expect that it wasn't clear whether that there was an indication either way, how it was going to go. also, throughout the deliberations a jury in the beginning when it 1st started, asked for several pages of jury instruction, specifically having to deal with self defense having to do with provocation having to do with criminal intent to till there was then the drama. the altercation that

happened here outside the court house between you know, doing protesters resulting in 2 people actually being arrested, one of whom was charged with assault and battery. and then there was more drama as if it wasn't dramatic enough with an m s. m, b, c. reporter, reportedly following trailing behind the jury van. ah. 7 a whether they were trying to, you know, get commenter or follow the jury to find out where the jury was being sequestered, to try to get live interviews after the verdict was handed down, remains to be seen. but that was a, a serious matter jed roo freighter. 6 band m s nbc and us nbc for being in the courthouse throughout the rest of the proceedings. so now the here and now the, the verdict is handed down as we're, we're approaching the week and we weren't sure. even if a doug jerry was gonna deliberate through the weekend and then going to possibly next week into the holiday weekend. thanksgiving. here in the united states, what was going to happen then? but as we know not guilty on all counts, lot of people showing up. i think that's gonna be basically what we're going to see

all day. and then it's a question of and lionel was talking about this. what happens now on the streets of canada? will there be fall out? will there be protests from demonstrators who event here who are upset about the verdict about the not guilty verdict on all count? will we see, you know, widespread demonstrations pro chad? could i get volatile? that's why the governor of wisconsin is called up on stand by 500 national guard troops. if something breaks out here in kenosha or the rest of the state for that matter, to those troops with just local law enforcement. not seeing anything like that. at this point, things are com, obviously they're celebration. there's people that are happy. there's people that are upset. we're going to continue to see that. but we're, you know, what happens if that remains the case if that remains peaceful, really raised, be seen by a stunning turn of events not guilty on all counts, not to you. okay, john, thanks very much for that. we'll get more reaction in the coming hours. but for now,

outside the courthouse, it can, i should show how to for all t america. thank you. okay. next, the history of heart island, the final resting place for the unclaimed debt of new york city and the award winning 1000000 american dreams on off international ah, well technologies fits perfectly well into the future. but we can't change our way of thinking in a way that we can visualize how we will fit and how we will feel and how our needs will be in 50 years. so our own do our own technological debunk things always further on than our ability to feed is your media reflection of reality.
