with breaking news at this hour in the netherlands. my lint clashes have broken out between police and crowds, protesting the possible implementation of new cobit measures. there and reports say, officers fired several warning shots, even injuring people. a in scenes resembling a war zone fires were started in various places in the major port, city of rotterdam. a recent opinion poll says the dutch public only narrowly back to g passes given to those fully vaccinated or recently recovered from the corona virus. that is left politicians divided and others furious at the possible introduction of a system that would see many barred from public places elsewhere in europe and new
7:03 pm
anti covered restrictions are imposed in some countries as well. the austrian chancellor has announced a nationwide locked down to start monday for at least 10 days following a surgeon 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 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,
7:04 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. m to many political forces in this country have campaigned against vaccination. the consequences of this are 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 too many a mongers have acted without solidarity. there's also concerns about the health
7:05 pm
care system in germany just over the border. we 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 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 9000 cases for the situation is increasingly bonds in some parts of germany. if we look in the
7:06 pm
states of bavaria and 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 earlier, my colleague kevin oh and discussed these tougher covered restrictions with a panel of medical and social science experts. the impression i get is these are serious panic measures by the politicians and i not belittling the shock. 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
7:07 pm
time to make decisions. and i think that's the problem that we've got since pandemic, and began to fall tissues. but i mean, if i look at how coefficients 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 left it restrictions very early in coalition money, 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 because they've got their reputations on the line as well. are gonna say, well we wait, we're trying to ease up or we're trying to move forward the car. when can i? this is a failure of governance, this is a crazy or all the right processes. so the scientists were saying earlier are extensively and you will controlling then the economy is trashed and they say you
7:08 pm
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 impatient or for that reason, could be susceptible to covey, 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 medical profession to say, you know that we should be mandatory. well, how are you? how is it mandatory when there's so much confusion going on? because a lot of people you are going to should know because you 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
7:09 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 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. well, what we've got to do is learn the 1st term though that's the problem. that's where the politicians flounder now. well, i know, but they messed it up. if they had acted a lot earlier, the world would have been in
7:10 pm
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 you're 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 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 for people 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 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
7:11 pm
a good thing. normal was less that go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time. it is a big news night switching gears now to the united states to col. rittenhouse, a 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 verdict and collapsed as he was acquitted. as to the information gauge price we the jury find the defendant kyle being written: kyle needs right. health not guilty. the charges against him included 1st degree homicide and he would have faced 17 years in jail have been found guilty. he was charged over an incident that protest sparked by the police shooting of a black man in august last year, rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time claims he was acting in self defense.
7:12 pm
oh, this was the emotional reaction outside the courthouse, as the verdicts were announced with the 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 as the verdict sunken ah, with
7:13 pm
so far, the public response on the streets has been passionate, but mostly peaceful ortiz. john hardy was outside the canada court house, as the verdicts were announced. well, a stunning turn of events, certainly ha, 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, there were there you could say of 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 written house. there are also those who have been here throughout this trial and throughout the deliberations. as we've shown, you 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 gay, kyle: so obviously a tenant, like i said,
7:14 pm
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. you know, there was reports last night that one of the jury members took home the 36 pages of jury instructions that 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 i a whether they were trying to
7:15 pm
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 the same, but that was a, a serious matter judge bruce schraner band m s nbc and us and we see from being in the courthouse throughout the rest of the proceedings. so now the here now on the verdict is handed down as we're, we're approaching the weekend. 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 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 counts? will we see, you know, wide spread demonstrations?
7:16 pm
protest could get volatile. that's why the governor of wisconsin has caught up on stand by 500 national guard troops. if, if something breaks out here in kenosha or the rest of the stay for that matter to those troops would assist local law enforcement. we're 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, if that remains the case if it 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 and commotion will leave many americans, feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. i stand by with the jury, as you concluded,
7:17 pm
jury system works. you have to abide by also in the statement by an urged people to express views peacefully and avoid committing acts of violence and destruction. last year, during his presidential campaign by posted a video about the problem of white supremacy in the u. s. which included written house. we spoke to daniel mcadams, executive director at the ron paul peace institute, which is both the president and media were biased against the 18 year old president himself as a disappointment, it was a year ago that he claimed this young man was a white supremacist with 0 evidence that that was the case and the president should be sued by him, just as if every news outlet in the us called him, the white supremacists should also be su, mainstream media coverage of this trial has been a busy day, outright lied for a year about this case, they presented incorrect information and they led people to believe things that simply weren't true about the case. there never should have been a trial that was very obvious from beginning with the video footage that there was no trial. there was no case you can threaten out,
7:18 pm
the prosecutors knew there was no case and that's why they did such an awful job of that mirror. this kids life was ruined, but at least at the end, the right verdict was read out. elsewhere in the us. another court decision is under the spotlight. 2 men convicted of fascinating, a renowned civil rights activists 56 years ago. have had that there murder convictions quashed new evidence shows the do were not involved in malcolm x is death and they could now seek $1000000.00 in damages. independent journalist ashley banks breaks it down for us on february 21st 1965 civil rights liter malcolm x was shot and killed in new york city while preparing to deliver a speech. muhammad, as ease, who is now 83 years old and colonial islam who passed away in 2009 were convicted shortly after for his murder. the pair were released from prison on parole in the 1980s, and now their sentences have been vacated. manhattan district attorney cyrus vance
7:19 pm
told the court on thursday that new evidence shows the 2 men were not involved with malcolm x, his assassination machine vance stated that investigators with help dozens of n y p. d reports from the defense and the prosecution that implicated other individuals. and malcolm acts as death. according to reports, as these in islam family could seek $1000000.00 each and restitution, and for every year that they wrongfully spent behind bars, they could either soon, new york for the unjust conviction or file a federal civil rights case against the law enforcement agencies that were behind their arrest, but the families have stated the exoneration is bittersweet. given the time lost and the fact to both men have had their reputations destroyed. one of malcolm x, his daughter is ileal. sasha bass put out a statement saying that she is happy for his ease and his mom's family, but would still like to see those responsible for her father's death be brought to
7:20 pm
justice. she stated full justice will not be served until all parties involved in the orchestrated killing of our father are identified and brought to justice. and washington ashley, banks and american wanted by the f. b i for taking part in the capitol hill. riot has travelled to bel rues and a seeking asylum there at newman faces, charges of violent entry on capital grounds and assault on law enforcement officials during the events of january 6. however, while he doesn't deny his presence there that day, he claims that the accusations against him are unfounded. we asked to have a newman how he got into bell rous. i knew that i couldn't cross at a border a through the normal border guards because i would be arrested in and delivered the americans as a, as a gift for the upcoming summit. and i found a national forest on the map, but it was swamped with snakes and wild boars and more spider thing. you can
7:21 pm
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 most wanted list over his involvement in the january. the 6th protest in washington, d. c. which ended up with the, you know, trump support as storming the capital. according to mister newman, he himself of 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,
7:22 pm
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 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
7:23 pm
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 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 bernie sand as 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 trumped way old. the hate, he just, he just, you know, gave a protest vote it was,
7:24 pm
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 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,
7:25 pm
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. the un has warned of a rapid rise in idle attacks and afghanistan as the terror group spreads it to practically all parts of the country. in the wake of the taliban take over once limited to a few provinces and capital i as i l k p. now seems to be present in nearly all provinces and increasingly active. the
7:26 pm
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 i full attack has jumped from 60 in 2020 to more than 330 so far this year. in the latest incident on wednesday, the militant group claimed it was behind 2 blasts in a she a neighbourhood in the capital. cobble which killed one person and injured 6 more the un representative you just heard from added that the taliban is struggling to contain iso and u. s. army chief mark. milly says there's a real possibility. al qaeda could also re emerge. earlier. we spoke with iraq war veteran adam co cash, who holds the us 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
7:27 pm
a long chain of events that includes the rise and terrors and the rise and the ice . all right, now in afghanistan, i'm not surprised. i'm sad. i'm heartbroken. isis, as we know it, i so whatever they're calling it again, right now, 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 or 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. or that is it for me this hour. i will be back in about 32 and a half minutes with another full fresh look at your news. this is our to international all technology fits perfectly well into the future,
7:28 pm
7:29 pm
oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? heights, elation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah
7:30 pm
ah ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is a growing e. u. bear who stands 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, some recalling this hybrid war, but who's hybrid war against whom i'm
