countries are also posing new restrictions. the austrian chancellor has announced a nation wide lockdown 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 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'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,
8:04 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 too many among doesn't have acted without solidarity. there's also concerns about the health care system in germany just over the border. we
8:05 pm
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, i know 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 on 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
8:06 pm
states of bavaria in germany, south we're seeing intensive care. busy beds there in extremely short supply. in fact, some patients are already being taken in by hospitals in italy that have more capacity right now, a situation that is developing and it's not developing in the right way or certainly not in the way we would like to see at the moment across germany or for that matter, here in 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. i need to stop being, i react cheap and acting on impulse because that's the worst time to make decisions
8:07 pm
. and i think that's the problem that we've got since the pandemic and began to fall, 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 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, cuz they've got their reputations on the land as well. are gonna say, well we, when we try 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
8:08 pm
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 covey, 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 medic 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. no 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
8:09 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 is learn the 1st term 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,
8:10 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 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, 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 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
8:11 pm
a good thing. normal was less that go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time more big news. this time in the united states co 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, engage price we the jury find the defendant, kylie written kyle. each rate health not guilty. the charges against him included 1st degree homicide and he would have faced 17 years in jail. had he been found guilty, he was charged over an incident of protests, sparked by the police shooting of a black man in august last year. rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, claimed he was acting in self defense. oh,
8:12 pm
this was the emotional reaction outside the court house, as the verdicts were announced with supporters of written house cheering the decision significant black lives matter. protesters also attended chatting justice for the victims. tempers threatened to boil over as the verdict. thank him. ah, with so far, the public response on the streets has been passionate,
8:13 pm
but mostly peaceful ortiz, john honey, was outside the canal court house, as the verdicts were announced. 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, jerry kyle. so obviously a tenant, 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.
8:14 pm
do you know there was reports last night that one of the jury members took home the 36 pages of jury instructions that kinda 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 do with provocation, having to do a 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 in 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 sequester to try to get live
8:15 pm
interviews after the verdict was handed down, remains the same, but that was a, a serious matter judge. bruce schraner. 6 band m s nbc and miss nbc for 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 week and we weren't sure. even if a da jury was going to 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 canada. will there be fall out? will there be protest 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 pro chad? could a get volatile? that's why the governor of wisconsin has caught up on stand by 500 national guard
8:16 pm
troops to if something breaks out here in kenosha or the rest of the, the stay for that matter to those troops with the 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 gonna 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, but 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 consortia will leave many americans. feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. i say, why was the jury, as you concluded, jury system works. you have to abide by also the statement biden urged people to
8:17 pm
express the views peacefully and avoid committing acts of violence and destruction . last year, during his presidential campaign biking posted 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 piece institute, who thinks 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 a white supremacist should also be soon. 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. they're never should have been a trial was very obvious from beginning with the video footage that there was no trial. there was no case you can threaten out. the prosecutors knew there was no
8:18 pm
case, and that's why they did such an awful job of the year of this kids life was ruined, but at least at the end, the right verdict was read out in american wanted by the f b i for taking part in the capitol hill right has traveled to bell ruse and the seeking asylum there at newman faces, charges of violent entry on capital grounds and assault on law enforcement officials during events of january 6. however, while if he doesn't deny his presence there that day, he claims that the accusations against him are unfounded. we asked every newman how we got into bel ruth. i knew that i couldn't cross the border. i through the normal border guards because i would be arrested and delivered to the americans as a, as a gift for the upcoming summit. and i found a national forest on a map. but it was a swamp with snakes and wild boars and more spider thing. you can imagine i crossed there and, and it was more adventurous than i anticipated. well,
8:19 pm
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 as storming the capital. according to mister newman, he himself farm. he believes he did nothing wrong. he did nothing illegal. i should say in a conversation with me. he refused to confirm or deny though. the fact that he might have crossed you know, the threshold and found himself inside, ah, the capital. but also at the same time as he believes that he did nothing illegal.
8:20 pm
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 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. um, 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
8:21 pm
he came back about 15 minutes later and broke away all the glass so that it was a clean way to enter and 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
8:22 pm
trump back in 2016. last year he told me he voted consciously that he's teased. he cited things like economy or the fact that donald trump did not stop any new was. this is something that he cited as reason why he backed trump and living in california, you know, being a pro 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,
8:23 pm
quietly. everything has to be secretive, otherwise you're socially ostracized. 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 nato. after the head of the military block said it may move nuclear weapons closer to russia's borders. the russian foreign ministry warns the hostile actions completely contradict the prevalence efforts to improve relations in the brussels. they've conclusively lost all connection with reality. instead of responding to rows of cool to de escalate tensions in europe, the may message from the alliance is that in 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
8:24 pm
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 russian 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. yen stall of arg was in the midst of some
8:25 pm
very important meetings, including one with the outgoing german chancellor anglo merkel. when he made these latest comments, for now us nuclear bombs are stationed on a 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, honest 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 continued to be part of nuclear setting. because it is so important for the whole of europe, and it's a multilateral framework. jewel turner to 2 natal nuclear sharing is different kinds of bilateral arrangements, germany kind of course, the size of whether there will be a nuclear weapons in your country. but, but, but,
8:26 pm
but you'll turn through his stuff, 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 message to nato from moscow has been very clear. you really do have to choose whether you want to escalate the intentions even further and the possibly even contributes 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 view and has warned of a rapid rise. and i saw a tax in afghanistan as the terror group spreads to practically all parts of the country in the wake of the taliban takeover. once limited to a few provinces and capital. i s i l k p.
8:27 pm
now seems to be present in nearly 4 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 ice l attacks has jumped from 602022 more than 330 so far this year. in the latest incident on wednesday, the militant group claimed it was behind a 2 blasts in a sheer neighbourhood in the capital. cobble which killed one person and injured 6 others 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,
8:28 pm
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 and the rise in 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 again right now, it's not organic, it is the product of american foreign policy. so in general, milly says, well, things like that worse than against and 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 your news, this hour. i will be back in about 31 minutes and 15 seconds with another look. stay with ah,
8:29 pm
technologist fits perfectly well into the future, but we can't change our way of thinking no way that we can visualize how we will flint and how we will feel and how our needs will be in 50 years. so our own do our own technological develop. things are always further on than our ability to feed a ah
