9:02 pm
protesting the possible implementation of new cobit measures in the netherlands. and reports say, officers fired several warning shots, even injuring people. an in seems resembling a war zone. fires were started in various places in the major port, city of rotterdam. and recent opinion poll says the dutch only narrowly back to g pass is given to those fully vaccinated or recently recovered from the corona virus . that's left to politicians divided and others furious at the possible introduction of a system that would see many bars from public places elsewhere in europe. other new anti covet restrictions are being post as well. for example,
9:03 pm
the austrian chancellor has announced a nationwide lockdown to start on monday for at least 10 days following a surge and 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 or year of correspond. peter over 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, or you're going for some exercise in your local area from the 1st of february,
9:04 pm
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 again in 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 among cousins have acted without solidarity. there's also concerns about the health care system in germany just over the border. we heard on friday from the president of the robert cock institute,
9:05 pm
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. on needed to stop the rise in covered 1000 cases, insulation for the situation is increasingly bonds in some parts of germany. if we look in the states of bavaria and germany south,
9:06 pm
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 sharp rise in case numbers in austria. but my, my response to the politicians is where were you when your case numbers was slightly high high. i still am going up the time to i always early and extensively. they need to stop being. i react cheap and acting on impulse because
9:07 pm
that's the worst time to my 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 peer masks. and then they bowed to the pressures of business in capitalism and lifted restrictions very early in coalition money, real pressure because life has to go on, people have to earn a living. the economy has to keep taking on at some point a suppose the politicians because they've got their reputations on the line as well. are 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, all the right processes. so the scientists was 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
9:08 pm
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 law. how are you? how is it mandatory when there's so much confusion going on? because a lot of people you're augusta should know because it works for the medical profession . i suppose we all know medics look to you to do the best practice to do the best possible thing. we do do the best thing for our patients, but the problem is, the guidance that we get given change is week by week is to confusion just as soon as we get you start one set of new wrong with a new policy. something else comes out which contradicts that how you're going to
9:09 pm
persuade the and persuaded so far that haven't been vaccinated. the 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 management 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 must 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 law 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
9:10 pm
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 politician. 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 and normal wasn't great for people experiencing homelessness, homeless. it wasn't great from experiencing racism. these are things that are continuing to exist. so if we go back to normal we, we need to be careful not to go back to, to what were 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,
9:11 pm
we need some time to the us now. cal rittenhouse has been found not guilty on all 5 charges. he faced over the deaths of 2 racial justice protesters in 2020. now the 18 year old was shaking as the jury read out, their verdict and collapse as he was acquitted as to the information, engage price injury, find the defendant kyle being written: kyle needs written house 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. how to 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. oh, this was the emotional reaction outside the court house. as the verdicts were
9:12 pm
announced with supporters of written house cheering, the decision significant number of black lives matter. protestors also attended, chanting justice for the victims. tempers threatened to boil over as the verdict thank in ah, with so far, the public response on the streets has been passionate, but mostly peaceful ortiz. john hardy was outside the canal court house,
9:13 pm
as the verdicts were announced. well, it's called, it's called there are, there are some, some arguments that, that were happening among some of the people that were gathered here. but for now there's really more media than anything. and that's really been the case over the last couple days. you know, any big trial as, as we know is going to get that media coverage. and this one is certainly no different this. this is a story that's been followed nationally, of course, internationally. it's a, it's a case that's polarized many americans, those who supported kyle written house and continued to that he maintaining, as his defense team maintain, that he was defending himself. that it was self defense. that he acted reasonably in light of the situation. and those who wanted the guilty verdict that those who wanted him to go to jail. those who say he acted recklessly, he should never should have been here that night, august 25th, 2020. when the city was on fire, literally, when protests were happening, and he was walking around with
9:14 pm
a rifle exacerbating already volatile situation. well, as we know now, he was found not guilty on all counts, a stunning development. we weren't sure where this was going. we being of course, the media and everybody else. it was day for deliberations. the journey from what we heard was, had ordered food. there was talk about maybe if there was a burden handed down to that possibly the deliberations were going to extend into the weekend next. week is thanksgiving holiday here in the united states. so even even the chief defender, the main mark, richard who was written houses lawyer. he said there, they were betting that tuesday $430.00 they they're, they're more than likely would be a decision whether it was on jury, whether a verdict was handed down that the jury would wrap up by then. so it was surprising that the verdict did come down today and, you know, and after it was of course, a very dramatic trial. there was a fight, an altercation that happened here earlier in the wake. and there been doing project
9:15 pm
as i described. people for right now, people again turn out what happened? well, however, here on the streets and can show that remains to be seen. the governor of wisconsin has called up on standby 500 national guard troops to assist local law enforcement in the event of widespread demonstrations or protest. i've been talking to people residence of consortia who failed. that's probably not going to happen. that number one, the police, the national guard, are going to put a stop to anything that they're going. they're prepared for any possible escalation and or any fall out from that. but more than likely, it's not going to happen that things are going to remain peaceful. there will be disputes, there will be arguments more than likely has emotions continue throughout the course of the day. and i think most people here that i've been talking to anyway in the city, hope it really is peaceful. you know that their businesses don't burn out there. there isn't a lie writing and the violence that this city saw back in august 2020 but not
9:16 pm
rest assured. this is not the end of the debate having to deal with this case. it will continue to be debated both in the media, the politics surrounding it and those who support current house and those who are, who are opposed to the ruling today. but my stunning turn of events, absolutely dramatic and overall trial, that's been dramatic and fall nationally. and internationally, meanwhile, joe biden weighed in on the decision causing some disdain, after initially calling for people to stand by the jury, he later expressed his personal anger while the verdict in kenosha will leave many americans, feeling angry and concern, myself included. we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. i stand by with the jury. as you concluded, jury system works. you have to abide by also in the statement by an urge people to express the views peacefully and avoid committing acts of violence and destruction
9:17 pm
. last year, during his presidential campaign biden tweeted a video about white supremacists in the u. s. which included an image of written house. we spoke to spike cohen, 2020 libertarian party vice presidential nominee. and ron paul piece institute, executive director daniel mcadams, about the verdict of and biden's response, and that would actually be val, him the 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 could call them a white supremacist should also be mainstream media coverage of this trial has been a bit more outright lied for a year about this case. they presented incorrect information. they led people to believe think 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
9:18 pm
no trial. there was no case you can threaten out. the prosecutors knew there was no case, and that's why they hit such an awful job of a mirror of this kids life was ruined, but at least at the end, the right verdict was read out. this is actually going to stoke racial divides. and the reason it's going to stoke racial divides is because politicians and media figures are using it to stoke racial divide. kyle is white, and he shot 3 white people and killed 2 white filling people. so this on its face should not be racial, but it became racial because media heads and politicians who wanted to make it racial, have turned it into a racial incident. and it shouldn't be. but unfortunately, that in reality we live in is that everything, you know, any incident that happens like this, you're going to have politicians sometimes on both sides of the argument and incorporating figures who are going to do everything they can to still patriot intention. keep people divided to keep them from watching and clicking and to keep people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top. an american
9:19 pm
wanted by the f. b i for taking part in capitol hill. riot has traveled to bell roof where he is seeking asylum. ever. newman faces charges a 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 were unfounded. we asked avenue, mon, well, how we got to bellows. i knew that i and cross the border i through the normal border guards because i would be arrested and, and delivered to the americans as a has 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 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,
9:20 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 f 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 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, 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
9:21 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 to be me. and it said a sulfur federal officer. and i knew that i had not assaulted a federal officer. number one, i promised somebody that i would stand back in the crowd and i didn't hold that promise. that's the 1st thing i regret. there was a man who came up in the beginning ah, when i, when i got there and he broke a window with a hammer. but then he walked away and down down the steps and away to 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,
9:22 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 has originally from california, you know, america's blue estate, and he is a registered democrat on top of that. what prompted him to give his vote to trump? back in 2016 was. according to mister newman, the way the d and c treated the bernie sanders campaign. he told me that essentially he believes that the dnc stripped a bernie sand as of a fair chance that you know, representing being the main runner of the party, back in 2016. and when he saw all the negativity going, the trump way old, the hate he just, he just, you know, gave a protest vote it was, it was like that. so that's why he initially decided to go and vote for donald trump back in 2016. last year he told me he voted consciously that he's teased. he cited things like economy or the fact that donald trump did not start any new was.
9:23 pm
this is something that he cited as reason why he backed trump and living in california. 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 wall of hate against trump, saying that he was insane saying that he was crazy, same 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 totally 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,
9:24 pm
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, as heavily criticized nato, after the head of the military block said it would move nuclear weapons closer to russia's borders. the russian foreign ministry warns the hostile actions completely contradict the cremeans 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 acts 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,
9:25 pm
to be even stronger. this is why the reaction from russia diplomats to the latest common spy, 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, 3, generally the collective voice, the russian nato founding act no longer exists. of this document, enjoying 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 angle of merkel when he made these latest comments. for now, us nuclear bombs are stationed on german soil and in emergency situations. they can
9:26 pm
also be carried by german military dress, but the distance is still from germany. borders to russian borders is quite significant. if berlin decides to give up the agreement to have us nuclear weapons on his territory, then native bosses 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. you'll turn on 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 alternative is that we e, 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
9:27 pm
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 russian water definitely isn't something that is going to help. the un has warned of a rapid rise in iceland tax and afghanistan as the tear 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. now seems to be present in nearly 4 provinces and increasingly active. the number of attacks has increased significantly from last
9:28 pm
year to this year. this is an area deserving of more attention from the international community. now the number of iso attacks has jumped from 602022 more than 330 so far this year. in the latest incident on wednesday, the milton group claimed it was behind 2 blasts in a sheer neighbourhood in the capital cobbled 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 reemerge. earlier. we spoke with iraq war veteran adam co cash, 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 in ice,
9:29 pm
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, it's not organic, it is the product of american foreign policy. so in general, milly says, well, things like that were sent against it. 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. this is our to international. i'll be back in 30 minutes with your headline. stay with oh, there is a patch of water around the try, a seal island that's in contention between canada and the united states northern
9:30 pm
gulf and made it suddenly become optimal for lobster. our populations years exploded. one of the most valuable fisheries that's ever existed. suddenly you had made an canadian fishermen in these waters at the same time jousting for position and attention are high, violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the part where there could be costs that would be significant to post countries order disputes don't go away. they just ask or something's going to happen with.
