6:03 pm
anti covet restrictions are imposed in other countries as well. the austrian chancellor has announced a nation wide lock down to start monday for at least 10 days following a surge in coven cases, as well as a looming vaccination mandate from february, making the country the 1st european country to demand obligatory vaccinations. neighboring germany is also considering similar measures. are your correspondent peter oliver reports now from 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,
6:04 pm
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 because none of us enjoys bringing in meshes that puts them in on freedom. this decision was necessary because to many among doesn't have acted without solidarity. there's also concerns about the health care system in germany just over the border. we heard on
6:05 pm
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 not maybe the direction germany is heading. particularly when you take into account what yen 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 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
6:06 pm
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 earlier, my colleague kevin own discussed 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 to you and acting on impulse because that's the worst time to make
6:07 pm
decisions. and i think that's the problem that we've got since the 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 be masks. and then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism and lifted restrictions very early and coalition money, 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're, we're 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 are extensively and you will controlling then the economy is trashed and they say you
6:08 pm
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 he 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 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 med profession to say, 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 augusta 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 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
6:09 pm
a new policy. something else comes out which contradicts that. how are you 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 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 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 of flounder now. well i know, but they messed it up. if they had acted a lot earlier,
6:10 pm
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 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 experiencing homelessness, homo, it wasn't great from experiencing racism. these are things that are continuing to exist. so if we go back to normal, we need to be careful not to go back to, to what with 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. normal was
6:11 pm
a less that go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time. more big news now in the united states, kyle, written house has been found not guilty on all 5 charges. he faced over the deaths of 2 racial justice protesters in 2020. the 18 year old was shaking as the jury read out their verdicts and collapsed as he was acquitted. as to the account of the information gauge price we the jury find the defendant, kylie written kyle. each rate health not guilty of the charges against him include 1st degree homicide and he would have faith, 17 years in jail. had he been found guilty, he was charged over an incident. how to protest, sparked by the police shooting of a black men in august last year, rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time claims he was acting in self defense. oh,
6:12 pm
this was the emotional reaction outside the court house. as the verdicts were announced with supporters of written house cheering the decision. there have also been significant numbers of black lives matter. protesters there as well. chanting justice for the victims. tempers grew as rival groups challenged each other. has the verdict sunk in? ah, with so far the public response on the street has been passionate,
6:13 pm
but mostly peaceful parties. john hardy was outside the commercial court house, as the verdicts were red. well, a stunning turn of events. certainly. huh. not guilty on all counts. let, 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, as a huge crowd has gathered on the steps of the court house, and a cheer went up, a lot of people who were here supporting kyle rittenhouse. there are also those who have been here throughout this trial and throughout the deliberations as we've shown you and shown the viewers who were against coll rittenhouse who were pushing for a for a guilty verdict at they are talking to the media. they're obviously upset about it, but we're hearing a lot of people driving by honking horns, saying, you know, yeah. j. kyle. so obviously it's in it, like i said, a study turn of events. after 20 more than 23 hours of deliberations, the jury handed down his verdict. we weren't sure which way was going to go there.
6:14 pm
do 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 kill. there was then the drama, the altercation that happened here outside the court house between you know, doing protestors 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. and b. c reporter, reportedly following, trailing behind the jury van. ah. 7 a whether they were trying to get commenter or follow the jury to find out where the jury was being sequestered to try to get live
6:15 pm
interviews after the verdict was handed down. remains the same, but that was a, a serious matter judge. bruce schraner, i. 6 band m s nbc, nbc, nbc, from being in the courthouse or throughout the rest of the proceedings. so now the here now on the verdict is handed down as we're, we're approaching the week and we weren't sure. even if a da jury was gonna deliberate through the weekend and, and going until possibly next week into the holiday weekend, thanksgiving. here in the united states, what was gonna happen then? but as we know not guilty on all counts, a lot of people are 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 canoga? will there be fall out? will there be protests from demonstrators who have been here, who are upset about the verdict about the not guilty verdict on all count? will we see, you know, widespread demonstrations, protest could get volatile. that's why the governor of wisconsin is caught up on
6:16 pm
stand by 500 national guard troops to if something breaks out here in kenosha or the rest of the state for that matter to those troops would assist local law enforcement. we're not seeing anything like that at this point. things or 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, if that remains the case if that remains peaceful, really raised the same by a stunning turn of events not guilty on all counts. meanwhile, joe biden waited on the decision causing some disdain, after initially calling for people to stand by the jury, he later expressed his anger while the verdict in kenosha will leave. many americans, feeling angry and concerned, myself included. we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. i say why with the jury, as with the jury system worse, you have to abide by also in the statement,
6:17 pm
biden urged people to express views peacefully and avoid committing acts of violence and destruction. last year, during his presidential campaign, biden himself posted a video about the problem of white supremacy in the u. s. which included rittenhouse. i for more of this, we can cross live to libertarian party vice chair arvin. vara, thanks for being with us. as this verdict is just announced, ah, let's start with biting. we just heard him speak there. what you make of biden's reaction to the verdict. i mean in, in a sense is what you'd expect, right? i mean, he's going to want to push his political agenda by saying he's angry and concerned implying in every possible way to anyone that's ever spoken english in their lives . clearly implying that he disagrees with the verdict. and then in classic politician speech saying, oh, but we have to abide by the verdict so that he's not accused of questioning the jury system entirely. it's classical pauses and speak pushing his political agenda
6:18 pm
. it's exactly what out of expected. i'm switching gears to the actual trial. now what do you make of the jury's decision? of course, public opinion. it was on t v. there's lots to do about the judge himself and what he think i'm, i think it would be very hard to argue that he act in anything other than self defense. i mean, i would go so far as to say, his motivations were heroic. i mean, he was working to protect somebody else's private property. and just as the responders that the january 6th, friday, the, the national guardsman, the secret service, are considered to be people that are doing something positive and arguably, even heroic. i mean, to me, that's what he was doing, the differences he was doing it for private property, not public property, but to me, private property is actually more sacred than public property because the reason that we have public property is to protect private property. it's clear that the police probably weren't going to succeed. there should not be a need for people take matters and for their own hands. but i think what he was trying to do was her. i think the fact that it got out of hand is unfortunate. but
6:19 pm
i think that anyone that looks at that at the, at the videos are listened, the testimony would probably come to the same same conclusion that he was acting self defense. pushing back just a little bit. should we encourage vigilante as them? no, no, i mean the vigilante of them usually has a connotation of vengeance and i think that's, that's generally wrong. but there's a big difference between vigilante ism, which is towards vengeance and standing to defend something. and i think encouraging people to defend themselves, to defend their neighbors, to defend their own lives and property, or to defender the neighbors lies in property. i think that's kind of the purpose of the 2nd amendment. i mean what this shows, if anything is that we should be able to be armed with powerful enough weapons to respond to the potential of an angry mob. you know, an angry, violent mob as this trial shows is not a hypothetical theoretical thing that might happen. or is that you know, some from america's past, it could happen at any time. and if anything,
6:20 pm
the shows that our gun laws are far too restrictive, and that people are willing to step up, the heroic protect themselves, protect that wiley's and protect their nate. speaking of that violent protests as not just being hypothetical, i mean, should we expect violent protests against this verdict to continue? now? i mean, america is divided i, i don't know. i don't know. i mean, it wouldn't be surprising. i mean, i would say there's a solid at least somewhere between 40 and 60 percent chance of one as it, is it an absolute guarantee the way this on the other verdicts have been i don't think so, but i imagine some amount of a very angry prostate protesting certainly, and the possibility that that may become violent, protesting is always there. ah, what about the media and it's role here. do you agree with the judge here that the media covered the trial? i was irresponsible. i mean, having been a member of the media covering trials of the united states, i know that there are strict rules read lines that you don't, ross,
6:21 pm
i did the media play a role here and dividing things. yes, yes, i mean, in a cnn ran for several days, a focus on the racial makeup of the jury. but the defendant and the victims were all white. i mean, bringing race into this into this particular verdict is honestly just kind of a head scratcher. and so the idea that the, the, the fact of the meat is been trying to inflame racial tensions in a trial where they don't really have any place at the same time they've been providing every kind of biased and, and partial coverage. and m. s embassy really took it a little bit too far when they engaging in what i would consider a criminal activity, which is following the jury members later on. i mean that to me is it's, it's not quite intimidation, but it's, it's kind of getting there. alright to former libertarian party vice chair arvin. laura, thanks for your thoughts on this. appreciate it. thanks for having me. on switching
6:22 pm
gears now in american wanted by the f. b i for taking part in the capitol hill. riot has traveled to bell roofs and a seeking asylum there at the newman faces, charges of violent entry on capital grounds and assaults on law enforcement officials during the events of january 6th. however, while he doesn't deny his presence there that day, he claims that the accusations against him are unfounded. we asked every newman how he got into bellows. i knew that i couldn't cross at a 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, 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,
6:23 pm
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
6:24 pm
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 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 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,
6:25 pm
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 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 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 stop any new was.
6:26 pm
this is something that he cited as reason why he backed trump 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 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 ostracized. so it does sound a little bit like prohibition except this time in
6:27 pm
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. the un has warned of a rapid rise in isola tax and afghanistan as the terror group spreads to practically all. busy parts of the country in the wake of the telephone take over once limited to a few provinces and capitol i, as i, l k, p, now seems to be present in nearly all provinces and increasingly active. the number of attacks has increased significantly from last year to this year. this is an area deserving of more attention from the international community. the number of vital attacks has jumped from 60 in 2020 to more than 330 so far this year. in the
6:28 pm
latest incident on wednesday, the militant group claimed it was behind 2 blasts in a shia neighbourhood in the capital. cobble which killed one person and injured 6 more. the un representatives you heard from added that the taliban is struggling to contain iso and u. s. army chief mark. milly says there's a real possibility i'll keita could also reemerge. earlier we spoke with iraq war veteran adam coke ash, who holds the u. s. responsible for the rising level of terrorism in afghanistan. when i see what happened in afghanistan with the, you know, the, the end of the war, which was the end of one phase of the military occupation of afghanistan, which is part of a long chain of events that includes the rise and terrors on the rise and the ice. all right, now in afghanistan, i'm not surprised. i'm sad and i'm, i'm heartbroken, isis, as we know it, i so whatever they're calling it again, right now,
6:29 pm
it's not organic, it is the product of american foreign policy. so in general, milly says, well, things like that, we're sort of gangster, there might be more, more terror. so we might have to go back in. it's basically saying, hey, if you don't comply with the desires of empire, we're going to screw your crap up again. we're gonna spawn militants and extremists and terrorists, and we're going to make you fight amongst yourselves and keep you divided and conquered. that's it for me this hour. i will be back with more news in about 30 minutes. stay with us. this is our international own. mm. hm, technologist 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 things and how we will feel and how our
6:30 pm
needs will be in 50 years. so our own, do our own technological debunk things always further on than our ability to feed for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere direct. what is true, what is faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend.
