to have for ah, protests in europe as new lockdown restrictions are imposed, violence erupt in the netherlands for a 2nd night running. while vienna seized clashes between police and protests. as on the weekly this our, we try to work out. we're, it's all heading with a panel of guests. my response to the politicians is where well, you, when your case numbers was slightly. hi. hi. hi. i still, as we get used to my new room with a new policy, something else comes out and there was a lot of let the politicians do what they want. they didn't follow some of the mandates they weren't wearing mass ah,

in the us this week rod. so rob has coll rittenhouse is found, not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 people that are racial justice protest last year. it's divided american society as politicians on the media rushed to take sides and migrant start to leave better was his border with poland. after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions in a desperate bid to try to reach the e. u and violet clashes with polish forces too. we are witnessing so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the board by going to see the on backing down . and i, we can hear the approach of a military helicopter i, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, hello live from ortiz will use h q this weekend. it's kevin,

and he was here welcome to weekly recounting some of the biggest sta, headlines of the last 7 days. we brought you 1st rallies against new covey restrictions turn violent and a number of european cities this weekend with some of the most turbulent protests in the netherlands as that countries struggles with locked and measures imposed a week ago in the hague riots is through rocks and fireworks of police and 7 were arrested austria's capital, so clashes to as it heads to a full national lockdown starting monday, with

with more or less protests in vienna. his are your correspondent, peter, all of a. as you can see, the dentist ations here is they come in to the final stages lighting the flesh behind these demonstrations coming out to say, go to the austrian government policies when it comes to coven 19, with glimpses coming through the gay thea. as we head towards the historic historic policy here in the center, they all seem capital quite your money themes as they come through that with the as they come through the asked to try and get away from the crowd of it as they compete with that flu is going for the most part, this demonstration was incredibly peaceful. however, there was some flash points between demonstrators in place. things were thrown from the demonstrators towards law enforcement, who responded by dragging people out and taking them away into custody. there was also some incidences where i saw some teenagers starting bottles towards the place

in order to try and get them to give them a chase. the reason that all of this has started is because of the actions that the austrian government is taken to try and calm down the coven, 19 problem that the country has. that was starting last monday. what was called a lockdown of the on vaccinated of 3000000 people fell into that particular group. those that haven't either got a vaccination and can prove it, or they can prove that they've recovered from coven 19. that then escalated further on friday of this week. when we well, when alexander schellenberg, the austrian chancellor, announced that from this coming monday, a national lockdown will be going on. he also said that from the 1st of february, that will be well, a mandatory vaccination policy in place across austria. all sure, becoming the 1st country in europe to do so. that really upset a lot of people. lot of those that we spoke to

a lot of people that come out here just behind me flaring those horns. very upset that all should become 1st european nation is put in place, this type of mandatory vaccine policy. i sing, it's not the question from the government. i think it's a question for the people. if i want it, i can hear for it. but what's with the 1000000 people's? they don't like this. what's with this? we have a problem with the austrian government. ah, we, we have freight to lose our table critique. i am not happy with this sir solution because sir, it's against them. the wish of upper people and the, and human rights are being done on, on, on the ground already or beneath, under the ground. now, alexander schellenberg, c r c. and john to says the reason he did that was because his hand was forced

because to many people in his country as he sees it a fall and fall of what he calls anti vax propaganda. and that's one of the reasons he said that a vaccine uptake in austria was so low. these people low say they just don't want the government to have so much say in what happens to them, why they take vaccines. the real statistics, though are not austria is in the grip of a real biting situation. when it comes to this fault, wave of coven 90, particularly in the west of the country, hospitals are at creaking point. when it comes to taking severely ill people in intensive care units, they are just don't have the capacity to be able to cope and asi as vaccine rate is below the average when it comes to the rest of the european union. however, these people here say that they just don't agree with the policies and the way that alexander shalon both government is handled, they say are in austria. we, while the world health organization continues to stress, that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the spread, coven,

because countries continue to impose locked out. many people are asking when could these restrictions end? early this week i spoke with a panel, medical and social science experts to try to gauge where it could all be heading. impression i get is these are serious panic measures by the politicians. where were you when your case numbers was slightly hi. hi. hi, i still am going all the time to are always is early and extensively. they need to stop being. i react cheap and acting on impulse because that's the worst time to make decisions. and i think that's the problem that we've got since the pandemic and began 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 a master. and then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism and lifted restrictions very early and polish it, or a 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, 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. all the right processes. so the scientists were saying i early are extensively and you will controlling then the economy is trashed and they say you how people are trashing the economy. what they do not want to accept is the economy is trashed because you messed up. i don't think it's quite am specifically to choose a section of the medical 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 are going to should know because it works for 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,

as we get you start one set of new wrong with a new policy. something else comes out which contradicts that. so many things to worry about gas prices are enough cove, it seems to be coming back for a 1st 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, i really want us to think about here is as we try and push back to normal, 1st off normal, wasn't that great for everybody? and so i know that all of these things we're talking about are important and we want to get on with our lives. but normal wasn't great for people experiencing homelessness, homeless, it wasn't great for people experiencing racism. these are things that are continuing to exist. so if we go back to normal we, we need to be careful not to go back to, to what was some sort of nostalgia. and i also think we need employers at universities. big, big places that bring in lots of people into city centers. to remember that there's going to be a social 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 night. go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time. americans, enraged by the critical col, written how some homicide charges have taken to the streets and protests. the teenagers sprawled a rifle to racial justice, rally last year in wisconsin, and then shot dead 2 people and wounded afoot actions that his lawyer said were in self defense, the ruling spot unrest across the country. we the jury find the defendant kyle, he'd written kyle: each. read how not guilty with

now that the jury handed down the verdict. it's dawn the the trials over. rittenhouse not guilty on all counts. 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 verdict handed down that possibly the deliberations were going to extend into the weekend next week. is thanksgiving, it's a holiday here in the united states. so even, even that the chief defender, that the main mark richards, who was written houses lawyer, he sat 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 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 a stunning turn of events. absolutely dramatic and an overall trial that's been dramatic and follow nationally and internationally. mainstream may do a quick to take sides and even got some facts badly wrong with the u. k. newspaper, the independent clay, we that written how shot 3 black command when in fact, all 3 will white multitasking. taylor looks at the trial. that's divided society not guilty toward sort of sparked a firestorm in the us white nationalist and domestic terrorist across this country . our high fiving had this person been african american or looked at a lot of latino. he would be behind bars tonight. we've got a pattern now. we're white. men feel that they have the right to enforce the law themselves. the child of kyle rittenhouse had america on the edge of it, feet, it set up an epic clash for some, he's a bloor in order. a hero, a real american,

taking on out of control rioters. for others, he's everything that's wrong with the country, a racist white vigilante, you can cute to kill. no questions asked. and while the judge might think his courtroom showed the very best of american justice, that attentiveness and the cooperation that you gave to us was justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed the many divides. it proves the opposite. that justice system is rotten too. it's a very cool. we just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist. this only further validates the need to abolish our current system. white supremacy cannot be reformed. a system that legitimizes vigilante murder is deeply broken. today's verdict speaks for itself. i've spent the majority

of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable. it's clear there's still a lot more work to do. if you needed any more proof of how polarizing the rittenhouse case was, look no farther than twitter. minutes off to the verdict was delivered to hashtags that started trending. so you either with him or against him, that was no in between, especially true. if he won mainstream media, they might have been short on the fact, but they shall fanned the flames of division. many outlets continued to co. rittenhouse, a white supremacist, despite tanning up no evidence, and despite the fact that the 2 people he killed would both white and well. everyone expected reporting around the trial to be frenetic, desperation for the ultimate scoop per some to cross the line. i have instructed that no one from emission b c. news will be permitted in this building, someone who is following the jury bus. that is a very,

extremely serious matter. as for the president on who's what the thought happened? well, biden's a bit confused about how he feels, having initially backed the jury, i say, why wouldn't jury as with curious if the work you have to provide while on his way home, he clearly had a change of heart and decided he wasn't pleased at all. so he put out a statement expressing his anger, but at the same time he didn't want things spiraling out of control. after all, he's already got enough rating bashing bottles on his hands. i urge everyone to express their views peacefully consistent with the rule of law, violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy. not a surprise, right? we know biden's all about healing a process. he started back during his election campaign when he posted a video about white supremacists include thing a photo of written house,

but the case was too divisive, and the anger too much to stem people, took to the streets. ah, it. and with $500.00 national guards on stand by, that's clearly no expectation the coms on the horizon. we all knew the rittenhouse trial would expose deep seated divisions. but the intensity of the emotions it's triggered shows, how volatile the situation really is, and how well it takes in today's america is one small strike of a match for everything to explode. we talked about the cases, spike cohen from the u. s. libertarian party. this is absolutely going to stoke racial divides and the reason it is going to stoke racial divides is because politicians and media figures are using it to stoke racial, divides kyle is white,

and he shot 3 white people and killed 2 white filling 2 of them. 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's the reality we live in. is that everything, any incident that happens like this, you're gonna have politicians sometimes on both sides of the argument and, and we incorporate media figures who are going to do everything they can to stoke, treat intention to keep people divided, to keep them watching and clicking and the key people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top huntley alley. this sunday. now the snake story of fatal attack reported from jerusalem, where a gunman killed one person and wounded several others before being shot dead. buzz ready police? it happened there. a holy sight, revered by both jews and muslims the ledge. the silent reportedly armed as of sub machine gun was identified by authorities as a palestinian from east jerusalem and a member of hamas. the attack was the 2nd in the city in less than

a week off for 16 year old palestinian said to have stabbed to his railey border officials before also big shot. after week loan stand off with polish authorities, many migrant started to leave the better o c u border with some already getting flights back home to iraq. the, despite the polish government tough stance, hundreds of protests marched through warsaw in support of the migrants on the border, and held up banners, calling for authorities to welcome them into poland. he's a garage donna, was at that border in the week with tensions were running really high. we wouldn't saying so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the board, what the migrants are doing. they are throwing whatever rubbish they can find, as well as rocks at the police, and they are responding in turn by the use of by the use of pepper spray. we are trying to stay at safe distance. i look over there, they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the barbed

wire is not clear what they're going to do. if they breach the barbed wire fence because there's another one a much more solid. well, a people have been growing increasingly desperate here and are, we could see that the disenchantment that the, that they have very, very angry and irritated at theme. you know, i would basically have their predicament at the conditions that they have been left in. there was a dangerous, dangerous throw over there. they're the group of military of polish military police who are defending the border. they just moved closer. so it looks like they're maneuvering. now they have brought a water cannon. i think they, they're bringing to water can. okay. we have to move out. now this was, this was the tear gas. it looks like they're adamant to use water cannon and in a weather like this. this could be very, very serious for the health of anybody who get sprayed ah, as for the indiscriminate use of pepper spray, i mean, they are going all out. this is true because right now i can hook skews because

right now i can up usually we need to move out a bit. yeah. i do apologize. it is. it is some, it is nasty. ah, this is the sound and you can see more tear gas more tear gas canisters being used against the migrants here. oh, it is making them more angry. it is making them more desperate. oh, looks like this of that. there they are, the aunt backing down my grants here, the on backing down. and now we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. it is a polish military helicopter. this has been used a as surveillance on behalf of the polish side. so, you know, getting a birds eye view on the, you know, and the location of all the migrants and also it, it is used as a scare tactics indeed with part of

offense. so part of offenses, almost down so. so the polish, the polish border patrol, the polish military police, they have been they have been manning that section of the fence more extensively than others. and there's also another water cannon. now helping out from over there, people are now pelting rocks. i can see that the arnold pelting rocks at the, at the security forces guarding the check point. so now the entirety of this section of the border is a war zone. it's migrants v the military police. we are right now as close as we can get to the border checkpoint where the majority of the action is going on. right now, you can see a group of most active people pelting the military police to polish military police with rocks. this is what they're doing and we've just been purpose sprayed. i'm afraid o detention and tempers here. they fly. very

high. the migrants here they have. they have a dismantled a part of the fence there and road they are going in. it looks like they're cheering. 6 1 of their rhone, that is mabel about of the fence, so they are covering it with some plastic, probably to put to use it as a shield to protect themselves from tear gas. just look at that. oh my oh, that was brutal. they did not work at all, they're being sprayed relentlessly. right now. it seems that the polish that the polish side has, well enough, has enough people as enough, are personnel, military personnel here to, for now, keep the migrants at bay. while as you can see there for me goes report, conditions were freezing to none. the less thousands of migrants have been camping out in a bitter cold in the border, hoping to get into the e u. although right now, latest is only a few dozen remain. after most of them are relocated to a nearby warehouse. a covered vaccination points also no been set up when

a w h o representative checked on people there to day. but despite the slightly improved conditions, some migrants had been left feeling desperate. they say they just want to go back home liberally to meet you. and i don't have any more hope for the european union. we were sleeping in the forest for 10 days and they were children with us. it's very dangerous, and none of that new countries are ready to speak about this big problem. and nobody accepts us in poland is using tear gas against women and children. and the you keep silence about this i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous. they seize as animals, are, we are not animals. oliver, i have failed to reach germany. and i want to go home. we've tried to get europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset when i saw happen to the border. i can't stay here. it's very hard. it envelope man, the best that i am very tired. i don't want to try again. my family in iraq, her saying please come back. when i saw poland, you steer gas against the women and children. i thought other european countries

would be no different than our good political responses will un says poland responds to the crisis, does break humanitarian law and rights to asylum. while sammy, you states accused by the russian authorities of engineering events in the hybrid war against the block allegations though denied by the bellow, russian president, who in turn accuses the you of violating board laws. we discussed the crisis this week. the number of guests who told us brussels needs to do more to resolve the situation. duo is very ill at ease with y'all, they can only impose sanctions, but there isn't much sanction that they can impose them by rosco's. the becoming links are cut or, or there are not many, anyway, sanctions, it's just the word. it's totally inefficient that really annoyed by this problem. because as you here in germany, they now declare that these people should not come in. it's the exact opposite of

what mrs. morkel, setting 2015 are the shot from best. they can come. they are fleeing the chaos caused by the united states and its european allies. they are trying to escape that chaos by coming to the one corner of the boat in the world. the european union, which is greeting with a notarized fence and police and units, it really says something about the state. well, we are to day that we go round the world creating kayla's and havoc. and yet we won't allow, in 34000 people met him highway educated thought those architects and swan. we could the european union and the u. k. can absorb those numbers not difficult. and then our an america's southern border, another migrant crisis is showing no signs of letting up with more and more people arriving another caravan of thousands of migrants than from central america is heading towards the u. s. border coming as joe biden apparently didn't push that migration issue. in his recent meeting with mexico's president, the usaa saying massive numbers of border crossings. fright now,

summer 160000 illegal migrants were detained. last month alone, controversially, the children of apprehended migrants have been separated from their parents and placed in detention facilities. will critics are branded then by them cages. an issue debated this week in the u. s. congress with republican senator, ted cruz, grilling the homeland security, secretary of the democrats handling of the crisis. how many children have been in the biden cages and calendar year 2021. a sen i. i respectfully disagree with your use of the term cages. by the way, here's a photograph of the biden cages that as the senator that is precisely why articulated children's sleeping on floors crashed in upon each other. when i took this photograph, the cove at a rate rate of cobit positivity was over 10 percent. has joe biden been down to see this facility of yes or no,

the president has not been down to. okay. no. has carla harris been down to see the biden cage? is this facility? yes or no. the vice president was at the border. has she been down to see this facility? i know she went to el paso, has she seen the biden cages? they are not cages. and what are these walls, senator? that has, has comma harris seen them yesterday. she has not been dead. has any democratic senator on this committee been down to see the biden cages 22. 0 i, i believe 2 democrats have been down to see this facility. yes or not on a facility, whether they are members of this committee. i do not know radio host and political analysts, dave perkins telling us the board across his isn't joe biden's top priority. of course it's a terrible thing to subject the child to a 1000 mile journey in the hands of criminal cartels. and that's exactly who is bringing these people to the border and helping them across it. and along the way, subject to abuses of which we can only imagine with horror. how many women have

been brought across the border that were sexually repeatedly abused and sold into sexual slavery and have disappeared? how many children have been sold into pedophile rings and disappeared? how many children have had the virus? how many adults have the virus? are you testing any what? all these questions have answers that are numbers, not just the yes or no answers that tells me they don't keep those statistics because they don't want the public knowing what those numbers are. my opinion that joe biden is not at all worried about what is happening at the border that he is confident in his own mind. that the people who work with them and for him are handling that smartly and with goals in mind. and they will achieve their goals, and i don't think joe biden thinks much about the border at all. he's coming up to 29 minutes past 2 the out there this sunday. i'm here in moscow. that's the way. yes. some of the headlines look over the last 7 days that we brought in the way

that we found that here in russia, it says kevin owen, reporting fraud he international. delighted to have your company this weekend, lou. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah. mm hm. mm. mm. hello and welcome to orlin far as the world works its way so different makes so
