a matter of, if it happens, it's a matter of went a protest in europe has new law, dead restrictions are imposed, violence are up to the netherlands and for a 2nd, while vienna sees clashes between police and protest is as well all the way through this. so we try to work out where is whole heading with a panel. i guess my response to the politicians is where well, you, why in your case numbers was slightly hi. hi ty, as soon as we get eastern, once i have new role with a new policy, something else comes out 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.

i mean, in the us in the wake, riots are up to this. col, written house was found not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 people. the racial justice protest, last year is divided. american society has politicians and the media rushed to take sides and migrant. started to leave. valero, says border with poland up to more than a week of camping out. in those freezing conditions. in a desperate bid 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. and by going to see the on backing down. now we can hear the approach of a military helicopter i, we've just been purpose sprayed ah,

o life. marty's will do use age key this weekend is kevin o'. in here, the welcome to the program. recapping, some of the biggest headlines we brought in of the last 7 days and anti m 1st rallies against new copays restrictions turn violent and a number of european cities this weekend with some of the most turbulent protests in the netherlands. that countries struggles with locked out measures imposed just a week ago in the hague riots is through rocks and fireworks of police 7 were arrested austria's capital to so clashes as it heads to a full national lock that starting monday to morrow.

so with more of those protests in vienna, your correspondent peter oliver. as you can see as demonstrations here, as they come into the final stages, lighting the flags 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 and they come through that with the as they come through that to try and get away from the crowd of it as they come to that with that flew going for the most part, this demonstration was incredibly peaceful. however, there was some flash points between demonstrate as 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 in to that particular group . those that haven't either got a vaccination and can prove it, or the 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 the homing monday, a national lock down 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 should be coming 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 hollands very upset that all she has become 1st european nation is put in place. this type of mandatory vaccine policy. i sing, it's not the question for 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 all a table critique. i'm not happy with this sir. solution because sir, it's against them. the wish of people and the human rights are being done on, on, on the ground already or beneath,

under the ground. now, alexander schellenberg. c. r c and chance 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 governments is handled, they see or in austria. meanwhile, the world health organization continues to stress that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the spread cove. it, but of course, as countries continued to impose locked terms that were saying that many people are asking when could these restrictions end? well, earlier in the week i spoke with a panel of medical and social science experts to try and gauge where it all may be heading. depression, i guess is these are serious panic measures by the politicians. where were you when your case numbers was slightly hi. hi, highest ill and going all the time to are always is early and extensively. they need to stop being, i react to you and acting on impulse because that's the worst time to make decisions. and i think that's the problem that we've got since 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 your mouse. and

then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism in 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 has to keep taken 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 were saying, i early are extensively and you will control it. 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, i'm 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're augusta 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 soon 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 in up cove. it seems to be coming back for a face time. and it still getting mixed messages from the politician post going to happen is we head into a new year, maybe go into a 6 the 7th wave of this. well, i think there are 2 things that i really want to think about here as we try to push back to normal. first 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 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 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 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 acquittal of col, written how some homicide charges in the week took to the st. same protests. the teenager had bought a rifle to have racial justice rally last year in wisconsin, then shot dead 2 people and wounded a 3rd action that his lawyer said, who are in self defense with the ruling spot unrest across the country. we the jury find the defendant highly written kyle: each rate health not guilty with

him now that the jury handed down the verdict. it's don the the trials over rittenhouse not guilty. 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 vote and 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 the cheap offender that the main mark richard who was written houses lawyer, he said there they were betting that tuesday $430.00 they, they are there 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 do 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, me sure media could take sides so, so we've got the facts badly wrong with the u. k. newspaper, the independent claiming written has shot 3 black when, when in fact all 3 were white. and he says, could tell it looks at the trial is divided society not guilty towards that of sparked a firestorm in the us white nationalist and domestic terrorist across this country . our high fiving had this person been african american all at a lead latino. he will 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. seat it set up an epic clash for some he's a lawyer in order. a hero, a real american, taking on out of control, riotous for others peace. 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. this justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed the many divide. it proves the opposite. that justice system is rotten to, 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 a 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 anymore proof of how polarizing the rittenhouse case was no, 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 were mainstream media, they might have been short on the facts, but they shall fanned the flames of division. many outlets continued to cool. rittenhouse, a white supremacist, to fight counting up no evidence. and despite the fact that the 2 people he killed, what 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. it is a very, extremely serious matter. i feel the president on who's what this all happened. well, biden's a bit confused about how he feels, having initially backed the jury. i say why with curious if the work we have to provide one 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 and 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 up a match for everything to explode. we talked about the case um, or with spike cohen from the u. s. libertarian party the week. this is absolutely

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, divides kyle is white, and he shot 3 white people and killed 2 white filling 2. 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 instant. and it shouldn't be. but unfortunately, that's the 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. so patriot intention to keep people divided to keep them watching and clicking and to keep people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top. next, the story that happened today, fatal attack reported from jerusalem were a gunman, killed one person and wounded several others before being shot dead by really police. it took place near a holy side,

reviewed by both jews and muslims. the alleged assailant reportedly on the sub machine gun was identified by authorities as a palestinian from east jerusalem. and a member of hammers was the 2nd in the city in less than a week. after a 16 year old palestinian said to stubs to israeli porter official before also the shop after a week long stand off with polish authorities. many migrants started to leave the bellows. e. you bought the last few days with some already getting flights back home to iraq. but despite the polish government tough stuns, hundreds of protest as much through war. so in support of the migrants on the border, holding up banners, calling for authorities to welcome them into poland. he goes down off was at the boulder in the week. we're attention for running really high. we witness thing so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the border, 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, who 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 people have been growing increasingly desperate here. and we could see that the disenchantment that the, that they are very, very angry and irritated at theme. you know, i would basically at their predicament, at the conditions that they have been left in. there was a dangerous, dangerous throw over there, there the group of military of polish military police who are defending the border . they just moved closer. so it looks like they are maneuvering. now they have brought a water cannon. i think they, they're bringing to water care. 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. yes. 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. if they're, if they are the aunt backing down my grants here, the aunt 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 valence 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 is used as a scare tactics. indeed, he's a part of a fence. part of a sense is 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 arno 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 void, a checkpoint where the, the majority of the action is going on. right now. you can see a group of most active people pelting the military police,

the polish military police, with rocks. this is what they're doing, and we've just been purpose frayed. i'm afraid. oh, good attentions and tempers. here they fly. very, very high. the migrants here they have, they have a dismantled up on the fence there and road they are going in. it looks like they're cheering. 6 1 of their rhone that it's mabel about of the fence so they are covering it with some plastic. 2 probably to for, to, to use it as a shield to protect themselves from tier guys. 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 personnel, military personnel here to, for now keep the migrants at bay. well, as she could see from it as a pole. the conditions have been freezing. still, nonetheless,

thousands of migrants have been camping out in a bitter cold at the border, hoping upon hope to get into the e u. although the picture right now, the latest this weekend is it only a few doesn't remain after most of them relocated to a nearby warehouse. a cobra vaccination point was also set up and indeed a w h o representative apparently checked on people there to day. but despite the, i suppose you could describe it a slightly improved conditions. some migrants have been left feeling so desperate. they say they just want to go back home again, liberty. we leave them each 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 the you countries are ready to speak about this big problem. and nobody accepts us in holland is using tear gas against women and children. and the you keep silence about this. only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous. they seizes animals out, but we are not animals. oliver,

i have failed to reach germany. and i want to go home. we've tried to get to europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset that i saw happened at the border. i can't stay here very hard id number like one of the best that i am very tired. i don't want to try again. my family in iraq, her same, please come back. when i saw poland, you steer gas against women and children. i thought other european countries would be no different than awkward. and the blame game goes on all round. the u. n says poland responds to the crisis. does break humanitarian law and rights to asylum. while some you states accused mid springtime of engineering events center hybrid war against the block allegations enough, we discussed the crisis this week. the number again, sue told us in their view, brussels needs to do more to resolve the situation. juno is very ill at ease with y'all. they can only impose sanctions, but there isn't much sanction that they can impose on barbarous goes the. the comic

links are cut or, or there are more many, anyway, sanctions. it's just the word. it is totally inefficient that really annoyed by this problem. because as you here in germany now declare that these people should not come in. it's the exact opposite of what mrs. oracle setting 2015, are you 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 greeted with a notarized pants and police and units, it really says something about the state will. we are to day that we go round the world, creating kill us in 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 it. and from one migrant crisis to another on americas southern

border, now we're gonna talk about it shows no signs of letting of the with more and more people arriving another caravan of thousands of migrants from central america is heading towards the u. s. border coming, as joe biden, apparently did not push the migration issue. at his recent meeting with mexico's president, the u. s. a sing massive numbers of border crossing some 160000 illegal migrants would attend. last month alone, controversially, the children of apprehended migrants have been separated from their parents and placed in detention facilities. what is seeing here? critics have branded them biden cages. an issue debated this week in the u. s. congress with republican senator ted cruz, grilling the homeland security secretary over the democrats handling of the crisis . how many children have been in the biden cages and calendar year 20? $21.00. a senator, i respectfully disagree with your use of the term cages. by the way,

here's a photograph of the biden cages that as a senator, that is precisely why articulated childrens lately on floors crashed in a pot each other. when i took this photograph, the coven 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 comma la 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? the pet has, has carmella harris seen them? yes or no. 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, things president by does not concern by any abuse has taken place at the moment. 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, they 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, thanks much about the border at all. thanks for checking in with us. that's the way the week looked in some of the headlines employee over the last 7 days here in moscow reporting for asi international. it's been kevin, i am with you. delighted to have your company this weekend. ah ah, 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

ah ah ah ah.
