ah ah, protests in europe as new lockdown restrictions are imposed violence to ropes in the netherlands for a 2nd night while at brussels, the rec clashes between police and demonstrators. on the weekly this our we try to work out where it's all heading with a panel of guests. my response to the politicians is where well, you, why in your case numbers was slightly hi. hi. hi, i still as me get, you stuck my new room with a new policy. something else comes out there was a lot of let the politicians do what they, why they didn't follow some of the mandates they weren't wearing massive. ah, in the us this week,

riots are up to kyle written house is found not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 people that of racial justice protest. last year, it's divided american society has politicians and the media brush to take sides and migrant style to leave the bella roost border with poland. after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions and a desperate bid to reach the e. u and violent clashes with polish forces too. we are witnessing so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the border by grants here they aren't backing down and i we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. oh, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, hello, good to have you with a sly from moscow. this is anti international. it's sunday, so we'll take you through some of the biggest stories here over the past 7 days. up

to date matters 1st, though, efforts to stand, the latest search of cove infections has seen frustrations boil over in 3 e u countries throughout the weekend. the latest unrest in belgium a few hours ago by brian police, by a tear gas and water cannon in classes with protest is opposing covey restrictions demonstrate. isn't the capital brussels through fireworks and offices, and build barricades to stop them. getting through the rally of some 35000 people had started out piece for me, but city center traffic did become paralyzed. the streets and tunnels were blocked . the angles directed at corona virus restrictions that include requiring passes to enter public places of the belgium unrest is just the latest. the europe been witnessing with some of the most ferocious protests in the netherlands says that country struggles with lockdown measures imposed a week ago. dozens of riots across the country and arrested the austrian capital. so clashes to as it heads to a full national lockdown starting on monday. that's just

a few hours from now. with a reporting from saturdays protests in vienna, our europe correspondence, peter oliver. as you can see as demonstrations here, as they come into 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 gate. 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 the ask to try and get away from the crowd of it as they compete 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 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, 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 to see jaime flaring those hollands 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 the wish of offer 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 johnson 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, all right, 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 are in austria. all the while, of course, the world health organization continues to stretch. the vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the spread of cov, it, but as countries continue to impose locked downs, many people are asking when might these restrictions? and i'll earlier in the week haven't even talked to medical and social science experts to try to gauge where it all might 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 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 was saying, i early act extensively and you will controlling then the economy is trashed and they say you how people are trashing the economy. what they do not want to accept

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 a go so 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 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 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 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 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 there bring in lots of people into cities, 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 fridays acquittal of kyle written house on homicide charges have turned out in several cities in protest . the teenager had brought a rifle to a racial justice rally last year in wisconsin,

then sheltered to people and wounded a 3rd actions that his lawyers said were in self defense. but the ruling sparked 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 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 wasn't a vernon 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 in, 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, who support current house and those who are, who are opposed to the the ruling today. but a stunning turn of events. absolutely dramatic and an overall trial that's been dramatic. and follow nationally and internationally on mainstream media were quick to take sides and even got some facts badly wrong with british online newspaper, the independent claiming that rittenhouse shot 3 black men when in fact toll free

white. i'll t southgate taylor looks at the trial that split the united states not guilty towards that of sparked a firestorm in the us, white nationalist and domestic terrorist across this country are high fiving pat. this person's been african american or looked at a 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 trial of kyle rittenhouse had america on the edge of it seat it set up an epic clash for some he's a law and 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 shoot 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. the verdict 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 find the flame self to vision. many outlets continued to co. rittenhouse, a white supremacist, to fight, turning up no evidence. and despite the fact that the 2 people he killed with 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 miss nbc knows will be permitted in this building. someone who is following the jury bus. it 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 would the jury as with wide wine 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 including a photo of written house, but the case was to device. if i'm younger too much to stem people took to the streets. ah, i am with 500 national guards on standby, that is 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. well, echoing that us, libertarian activists, spike come in, talk to us about the reaction america can now expect. 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, 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 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 on an end . and we incorporate media figures who are going to do everything we can to stoke,

treat intention, keep people divided to keep them watching and clicking and the key people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top. after a week long stand off with polish authorities, many migrant started to leave the belarus e border this week with some already getting flight back home to iraq. but despite the punish government tough stunt hundreds of protest as martha warsaw in support of the migrants on their doorstep. holding banners, calling for the authorities to welcome them into poland. otc costano reported from the border in the week where attentions were really running high. we are witnessing 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. 7 responding in turn, by the use of, by the use of purpose break, who we are trying to say, hey, that's a distance. i look over that 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 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 gets 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. if they're, if they are the aunt becky 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, the location of all the migrants and also it is used as a scare tactics indeed with part of

offense. so part of a census 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 secure, the forces guarding the check point. so now the entirety of this section of the border is a war zone. it's migrants being the military, police. we are right now as close as we can get to the board, 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 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. 2 probably to put 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 are 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 add bag sledge. you could probably tell from eagle support. their conditions have been freezing. none the less thousands of migrants have been camping out in that bitter cold at the border hoping to get into the e u. although right now, the latest this weekend is that only a few dozen remain after most were relocated to a nearby warehouse. a covered vaccination points also been set up and

a w h o representative checked on people there on sunday. but despite the slightly improved conditions, some migrants have been left feeling so desperate. they say they just want to go back home again. never, we did a 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 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 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 to europe 3 times and we didn't succeed. i'm upset. 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 saying please come back when i saw poland,

you steer gas against women and children. i thought other european countries would be no different than oakland. and the blame game goes on all around the u. n. says poland response to the crisis does break international humanitarian law and rights to asylum. while some e, you states accused bela roost authorities of engineering events in a hybrid war against the block allegations denied by the bell. russian president who in turn accuses the e. u. of violating borders. and we discussed the crisis throughout the week with a number of guests who told us brussels needed to do more to resolve. the situation is very ill at ease with y'all. they can only impose sanctions, but there isn't much sanction that they can impose on by rosco's the, the comic links are cut or, or there are more many, anyway sanctions. it's just the word. it is totally inefficient. our really annoyed by this problem because as you here in germany now the player that these people

should not come in, it's the exact opposite of what mrs. markham setting 2015 are the shot from best. they can come. they are fleeing the chaos caused by the united states and europe pin allies. they are trying to escape that chaos by coming to the one corner of stability in the world. the european union, which is greeted with a notarized pants and police and units, it really says something about the state of the well, we are to day that we go round the world creating kayla 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, no difficulty. moscow's warning of a significant increase in the likelihood of ukraine carrying out provocation against crimea. the deputy head of the russian security council says that's been a spike, an activity by ukrainian special services and radical groups towards the peninsula, including the illegal movement of arms,

ammunition and explosives. it comes after the kremlin spokesperson said, there's also been a suspicious uptake in what he called and logical military accusations from the united states. we cannot exclude the possibility of a provocation. this hysteria is artificially inflated. we are accused of some kind of unusual military activity on our territory by those who brought their own forces from overseas. in other words, the united states of america. this is not very logical or decent. western media have recently launched a number of unsubstantiated claims of an eminent russian invasion of ukraine. u. s . officials of also alleged that russia's placed a $100000.00 troops on its border and is readying an attempt to expand its territory. meanwhile, nato's increased its exercise isn't reconnaissance flights of the black sea racing significant concerns in the kremlin earlier on r c. political endless gilbert doctor? oh said the date all about to double speak from the west. so much of what we read in the, in the, the major mainstream newspapers have no connection with the way the real world real

world works for how major politicians think they're coming from the think tank within the pentagon and from associate propaganda organizations. and they're not for identification charges against russian military provocations from nato, from united states. or there already, the united states and nato countries are very quick to attribute to russia their own, their own activities in their own designs. and they take this as a starting point for, i suppose, at western response. pinpoint of factors on there's no response from west. it is initiative of the west to which rushes typically react and have sort of military threat host by these, these visits by, by u. s. naval forces was strictly a political dimension,

and mainly i believe was projected to ukraine as to a land grab by being a motive for russian activity. but i thought, nonsense, annexed, as the pandemic forced us to change the way we'll work, perhaps forever. well, depart talks to the head of the gue ends, international labor organization. to say our adapting for better a worse i won't change is still lie. i had life for most again, this is outing with ah

ah mm hm. mm. mm. hello and welcome to wells far as the world works, it's quite different makes so comic 19 in changing the world work. the arrangements and broad dishes that seem possible only

a few years ago and now commonplace. while some of the things we used to take for granted, i know more, how can i meet call with the labor pains? his name is inducing, quote, to discuss that i'm now joined by a writer, director general of the international labor organization. it's a writer, it's great to see you. thank you very much for finding the time. thank you for your invitation. the organization has just published a report on the impact on people's working lines. and from reading it, i had the sounds that you faced a real linguistic challenge in finding a strong enough to express how damaging it has been on a scale of one to 10. how bad is it? well, it's been very bad. this is the 8th report that we've issued tracking the way the pandemic has hit the world before we started last march. if you'd ask me that question when we published.
