ah ah, protests and yours is new lockdown restrictions are imposed, balance are up to the netherlands for a 2nd not while vienna sees more class. she's a game between police and protest. this all the weekly this hour, we try to work how we're still going to head with a panel of guests. my response to the politicians is where well, you, why in your case numbers was slightly high, high pie as still as we get used to my 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 ah, in the us this week. right. so rob has kyle written house is found not guilty of

homicide and the killing of to paper the racial justice protest. last year. it's divided american society is politicians in the media rushed to take sides and migrants start to leave. belarus is border with poland after more than a week of camping out of freezing additions in a desperate bid to reach the violet classes with the polish forces to we are witnessing so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the board. and by going to see the on backing down, and now we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. oh, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, the live smart tv will these h q this weekend? kevin, are with the welcome to the weekly recapping some of the biggest headlines of the last 7 days, and 1st off, and riley is against new coverage restrictions to violence in

a number of european cities this weekend with some of the most turbulent protests in the netherlands. as that country struggles with luck that much has imposed a week ago in the hag, riots is through rocks and fireworks of police 7 were arrested austria's capital. so clashes to was had heads to a full national lockdown starting monday to morrow. with with more, almost protests in vienna, europe correspond. peter oliver,

as you can see as demonstrations here, as they come into the final stages, lighting the flag behind these demonstrations coming out to say, go to the austrian government policies. when it comes to coven 19 with glimpses coming through the gate. as we had towards the historic historic policy here in the center, they all seem capital quite your money themes as they come through that with the n . as they come through the ask to try and get away from the crowd of it as they come to that with that flu 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 all 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? i'll 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 the homing monday, a national lockdown will be going on. he also taught said that from the 1st of february, that will be well, a mandatory vaccination policy in place across austria, austria 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 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 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 up up up 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 governments is handled. they say you're in austria. me while will health organization continues to stress. the vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the spread of covert, but as countries continue to impose locked ends, many papers can when could these restrictions end?

earlier in the week than i tried to get a handle on that and spoke to a panel of medical and social science experts to see what was going 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 a 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 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 has to keep taken on at some point a. suppose the politicians cause i'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 of the right to processes. so the scientists were saying, i early act 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 and 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 politicians. what's gonna happen is we had into a new year, maybe going to a 6th or 7th wave of this. well, i think there are 2 things that i really want to think about here is as we try to 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. 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. is there 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. hell on a thought. so the head of the you and world food program says afghanistan's rapidly becoming as he won't, extreme food shortages leave is millions, including children and women. they're facing famine with big will west cut off crucial aid to the country since the taliban came to power

that combined with 2 years of drought, has left it as the worst humanitarian crisis on earth. according to world food program chief david beesley. well, let's go live now to read, should friends out of the you and food and agriculture organization. afghanistan, thanks for joining us from cobble this hour. we know you've got a lot of play today, so appreciate it all the more. just how bad is the humanitarian situation in afghanistan right now. i told of he was it's, it's the, it's the worst humanitarian situation in the world. is that overstating the fact saddlin and deeply alarming me? the answer is to your question is know the numbers speak for themselves or the latest projections that we have based on the enormous amount of assessment and looking at what's going on. all that by the end of the year 22800000 of girls will be facing what we call acute food insecurity versus a hunger on a daily basis. that's 55 percent of the population. and indeed,

in absolute terms that will place afghanistan in terms of the people who are right on the brink of what we call catastrophe, that will make it the world's largest hunger crisis in the world. and at the moment . so what or who, or what combination of factors is to blame for this and i eat owner told politics, but you know, what is the cause of it as far as you're concerned? yeah, the technical agency with farmer's work and lives the current working charlotte shore with world food program and you quoted david beasley who was here recently. i'm yeah, 7570 percent of the of car population living there is a dependent farming, the dependent livestock for their livelihoods. and as you said this year we've had noticed a bad drop. we had an acute drive, the worst 35 plus years, and then out of that was already having a massive effect on millions of millions of people across the country. and then in the last 234 months, what we've seen is that largely drought driven krause crisis become transformed

something much bigger, much deeper and, and which is piled. it was out of control mass because they can amik implosion that we've seen the last few weeks. total liquidity crisis, the banking has stopped. the business has stopped as well. plus also you had on the a sudden suspension orbit in burleson, mouths of international web systems, which was so many years had underpinned to be the foundation of so many basic services and jobs as well. but health education. my insect agriculture absolutely key and i was suspended. the can know hundreds of thousands but you know salary so so much aid was, was, was pulled into that country. could again, you don't talk politics, i get a. but could this have been foreseen by the people that pulled out so quickly to think look, say i'm, i'm very much focused on fan as an applicant, as we've been working to support them this year because situation has been bad throughout the year. the drought began at the very end of last year that made mostly snow and critically as well. not lossless are worse,

and i think we had predicted we been working to support families around the growth program and others, the rural communities for throughout this year. i think what has taken us home by total surprise and shock, and i've been working this in the, in the frontier sector for 2530 years now. i see the crisis that the worse and so dramatically in just spread across a whole country. what's particularly wiring in that regard, it's an own, is it a rural crisis which has been throughout the year, but in the years projected that 9 out of 10 of the largest urban areas, the cities and towns about kind of started well. so we facing the same acute food insecurity, hunger on a daily basis. so what can be done with something on this scale? there's no magic fixed as no click of the finger. what can be done? well, the situation today is absolutely, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's appalling and i was, i was recently in iraq. that's one of our kind of storms. 34 products is right in

the west on the road. but it's an area that's been that heavy depends on agriculture, livestock, it's been really badly here when i was speaking to farms. also i spoke to quite a few farm households. families would be displaced from other provinces. and the picture is that they're painting that i saw by rising. heard the word expressions of farmers it's it's, it's really grim. it's really, really alarming. i think there's 3 things we need to see. one is a massive uplifted humanitarian assistance. that means support for us to keep farmers in the field. well, through program unicef, helping to keep children alive, what help organization you and hcr, the big military and agencies. unfortunately, we need enormous amounts of resources from now the next few months. secondly, is i think efforts to really address economic implosion, which is, which is paralyzed countries as cripple, is crippled, the economy business, no jobs as the money and economy as well. and thirdly, to find ways to sort of,

to 2, to relaunch a lot about the medical assistance which was keeping the clinics. the hospitals open for farmers was providing seed, providing fertilizer, absolutely vital things. you could say the same across all the sectors as well. so i mean everything i got here, this is. busy i guess you got the impression of any system and i can she got your hands full as well trying to make the rest of the world. crickets is up to this year. the rest, the world's heard about it because the rest, the world's also suffering not on this scale, but having to deal with cove. it in the after effects. a covey is going on and on and on. people are kind of concerned what's going on in their back yard by the way, how is cove it affecting that country and the way that life is going on there? because you sailor, medical facilities, a scan there, you know, hard to come by treatments. not good. is it a big problem there on top of all this? well and cold, specifically, i would say to 6, i think there's no doctor at the moment whose focused person promised on corbett,

i think in the the crumpling effects of malnutrition particular children. 3 and a half 1000000 children are what we call severely, acutely, malnourished, with a 1000000 more a 1000000 facing earful, earful prospects, and if they get immediate help. secondly, that they will impact hand. we've seen a carpet. it's not so much on the health side. of course it's been here is the economic side, particularly with the remittances. that's when you're back on family members living in other countries nearby are further away spending money back every month, every few months, for the families here move in the cities. but also the roller is me, economic hit of cobbett has been massive. we've seen that well, all this year. and man cash is so required with his new jobs know that the only crops in the fields gives massey crop failure. that sort of cash is absolutely vital and it's also dried up as well. you in the drought, your organization once we're there at least a $150000000.00. now right now i get a get a alyssa, just a drop in the ocean of what's actually needed here. is

a drop in the ocean in terms of the overall sh by the tail response we're, they're talking billions of dollars but, but you know, the $150.00 a foot, you can give it not seed and fertilize it to a family to feed themselves for a whole year, another thing about agriculture that it takes weeks and months for crops to grow. but what we know as it is, you know, it farmers stay in the fields if they know the seeds growing. if, if applied for cones to stay with the herds and the animals were alive, there was neighbor as well. and the costs me $150000000.00. it's a lot of money, but in fact it's so little because every $150.00, that's enough food for a family, plus some income for a whole year, the st. livestock, $160.00. you can keep a small herd, which is vital for a pound is loud. it's allowed to 67 months. so yeah, with, with this money is desperately needed because if the likelihood scraps of phantoms can't fall, then we'll see real catastrophe in this country. renshaw, deceit, already richard trencher of the un food and agriculture organization working there

. so odd in afghanistan in cobble to day. thank you very much for telling us about the awful situation. there is a good rest of the day, but i can bye bye. thank you. americans had raged by the acquittal of kyle written house on a homicide charges have taken to the streets in protest. the teenager had brought a rifle to a racial justice rally last year in wisconsin. then shot dead, 2 people and wounded a 3rd actions that his lawyer said were in self defense, but the ruling spark unrest across the country. we the jury find the defendant kyle, he'd written kyle: each red house not guilty with

now that the jury and handed down the verdict. it's don 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 in a vernon handed down, that possibly the deliberations were going to extend into the week and 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 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 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 take sides than somebody can go up the facts badly wrong. e g, the u. k. newspaper, the independent, claiming that written to have shot free, blackman. when in fact toll free will white arts, he says kit taylor looks at the trial. this divided society not guilty towards that of sparked a firestorm in the us white nationalist and domestic terrorist. across this country are high fives. had this person been african american, all of 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 bloor 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, the 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 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 fanatic 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 those jury bus. that is a very,

extremely serious matter. as for 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 a white boy 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 rittenhouse,

but the case was ti devices and the anger too much to stand. people took to the streets. ah, it. and with $500.00 national guards on standby, 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 a match for everything to explode. after a week long stand off with polish authorities, many migrant started eventually to leave the bellows. so you border with some already getting flights back home now to iraq. but despite the polish governments tough storms, hundreds of protest is marched through warsaw in support of the migrants on their

border and held our banners, calling for authorities to welcome them into poland. but he's, he goes down, off was at the border in the week were tensions were running really high. we are witnessing so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the board at 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, that's a distance. i look over there, they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the barbed wire. it's 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 we could see that the disenchantment that the, that they are very, very angry and irritated at the, 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,

there 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 is that there is a off the aunt backing down my grants here, the on backing down. 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 is used as a scare tactics indeed. part of a fence. so part of offense 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 and the security forces guarding the check point. so now the entirety of this section of

the border is a war zone. it's migrant. v. the military police, we are right now as close as we can get to the void, a check point where 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 sprayed. i'm afraid o detention and tempers here. they fly. very high, the migrants here they have. they have a dismantled up on the fence there and were 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. it did not work at all. there 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, our english down of has been reporting back from our place. so we could, you know, if you've been watching pets, if you hadn't been watching all week, that was the way the week looked. and some of the headlines we brought you, the main ones. anyway, there's so many more over the last 7 days here in moscow reporting frauds international. it's been kevin, i'm with he delighted to have you company this weekend ah.
