a racial justice protest. last year, it's divided american society is politicians and the media rushed to take sides and migrants start to leave the bell. russian border with poland after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions and a desperate bid to reach the e. g. u with violence classes with polish forces to we are witnessing so far. the largest scale attempt at crossing the board at migrants here. the on 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 us. this is the weekly from our table. take you through some of the stories coming here over the past 7 days. first, though, developments over the weekend and efforts to stem the latest surge of cove infections has seen frustrations boil over in 3

e u countries throughout the and the latest unrest in belgium. a few hours ago where bryant police fire t, a gas and water cannon, and flashes with processed as opposed encoded restrictions. demonstrate is in the capitol, brussels through fireworks at offices, and built barricades to stop them getting through the rally of some 35000 people. had started peacefully but city center traffic, the can paralyzed the streets and tunnels for blocks down get directed at the corona virus restrictions which include requiring passage to enter public places of the belgium. unrest is just the latest that europe's been witnessing with some of the most ferocious protests in the netherlands. as that country struggles with locked down meshes, imposed a week ago. dozens of riots across the country and arrested the austrian capital. so clashes to as it heads towards a full national lockdown starting monday. that's in just a few hours from now. with

a reporting from saturday's protests in vienna or europe correspondent, pedro oliver. 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 pulling through the geisha as we had towards the historic historic policy here in the center. they all seen capital. quite your money themes as 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 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 the homing monday, a national lockdown will be going on. he also thought 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 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 sing it to aggression 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 offer people and the, and human rights are being found 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 that 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 aussie 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 bos gorman's is handled, they say, are in austria. all the while of course the world health organization continues distress. 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 lowly are in the way? kevin, i will talk to medical and social science experts to try and gauge where it all may be heading. impression i get is these are serious panic measures by the politicians. where were you? why in 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 masks. and then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism and lifted restrictions very early and coalition already 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, when 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 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 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'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, 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, enough cove, it seems to be coming back for a fist on it. still getting mixed messages from the politicians. 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. 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 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 the demo putin has received a 3rd booster shots of the covert jab and says he feels, well, the russian president was given the sputnik light vaccine and made the revelation at a meeting with the deputy head of the family of research institute, which developed a shot and mr. booted also put himself forward to help test it. exciting new

additional vaccine they're developing a i know that you're developing. additionally, a nasal form of vaccine, you're currently doing checks on it or where are you exactly? i have to admit, mainly we're testing it as usual on the staff involved. check in it, looking at the parts speech. tanya experiment for yell. can i take parts in this experiment? absolutely. are the nasal vaccines designed to create a barrier in the upper respiratory tracks where the virus gets into the body said to be painless and have fewer side effects? not the talks, the institutes deputy chief revealed that sputnik light has there been tested in argentina and san marino showing 78 and 80 percent efficacy in those countries, respectively. americans, enraged by friday acquittal of col. rittenhouse 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 shot dead,

2 people and wounded a 3rd actions that his lawyers said were in self defense. but the ruling sparks on rest across the country. we the jury find the defendant kyle, he'd written kyle: each read house not guilty with now that the jury 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 verdict 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 richard, who was written house his lawyer, he said that 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 my stunning turn of events, absolutely dramatic. and an overall trial that's been dramatic and follow nationally and internationally. mainstream media were quick to take sides, and even though some facts, badly roll british online newspaper, the independent claiming that written houses shot 3 black bread when in fact all 3 white, the sas get taylor looks at the trial that split the u. s. 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 that a lot of 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, feet it set up an epic clash for some he's a moore 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 wine vigilante, you can cute to kill no questions asked. and while the judge might think his courtroom showed the very best of american justice to 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 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 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 won 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. 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 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. over that in mind, us libertarian activist, by co and talk to us about the reaction that america can expect. 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 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 into a racial instant. and it shouldn't be. but unfortunately, that in only 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 we incorporate media figures who are going to do everything they can to stoke,

treat intention, keep people divided to keep them watching and clicking and to keep people distracted from the real swindle that is happening at the top without a still to come on. the weekly with us inflation at its highest in 3 decades. mainstream media tell people nothing to worry about those we spoke to on the streets. i'll feeling the pain. we'll hear from them. among our stories after the break. ah ah.

ah. herman bedroom shaped passengers are those with airs sinks? we dare to ask oh, hello again. now after a week, long stand off with polish authorities. many migrants started to leave the de

larosa you boat this week with some already getting flight back home to iraq. but despite the polish governments tough stand as hundreds of protest does not, through warsaw then supported the micro on my doorstep, holding banners, calling for the authorities to welcome them into poland ortiz, he goes on off, reported from the border in the week. what tensions were running really 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 responding in turn, by the use of, by the of pepper spray. we are trying to stay at safe distance. 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, people have been growing increasingly desperate here and are, we could see that the disenchantment that the, that they're 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'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 those of that they are they off the aunt backing down, migrants 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, on the location of all the migrants. and also it is used as a scare tactics indeed with part of offense. 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 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, 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 high. the migrants here they have . they have a dismantled a part of the fence and road they are going in. it looks like they're cheering. 6 or some plastic, probably to, to use it as a shield to protect themselves from tear gas. just look at that. oh my, oh,

that was brutal. it 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 too. for now, keep the migrants at bay. america's soaring inflation is expected to spike further on the back of a 2 trillion dollar spending plan approved by president biden. prices rising at their highest rate in 31 years, and it's hitting people hard in the pocket. not everyone's worried though much of the u. s. media thinks everything is under control. in fact, recently deleted tweet from the m s m b c. news channel even claimed that soaring prices bomb such a bad thing provoking plenty of reaction on social media. people have been able to afford groceries is a good saying, well antics olive you more, more on selling us more money coming out of our pocket is a good thing. no reason will ever make a reasonable person say inflation is

a good thing. amazon. the see believes inflation is a good thing that our wallison curse is disagree. i miss nbc followed that up with another tweet saying that the delisa will misrepresented the article that it was linking to. but the idea that soaring costs are a good thing, at least under joe biden. it's going to bit attraction in the media kind of molten gold opinion on the streets of new york. whether it's mel for gasoline, the prices of everyday commodities are rising. american families are being squeezed now more than ever. some voices in mainstream media say the solution is pretty simple. stop complaining and deal with it. and the dirty little secret here, willi, well, nobody likes to pay more. on average, we have the money to do so. whole household savings had a record high over the pandemic. we didn't really have anywhere to go out and spend according to m. as in b. c house, stephanie rule, household savings hit a record high. during the pandemic, we didn't have anywhere to go out and spend. we decided to put that theory to the

test people savers have gone of no, no, i don't think so because things are more expensive or we have those bad food and do things like different ways. i don't think you save money, especially way transportation and everything. i definitely feel ian facia and have more so on food. you notice the difference like in, in proteins and just in general, softly worrying. i don't know too much. not a great financial guy, but the extern says the economy is a little bit. we're an semi us, i think a lot of people are out of work and others spending their savings just to stay alive. honestly, you know, what about all the v lost her job? a lot of those people are definitely spending their savings, myself included. what rules theory ignores, is that sense the pandemic? many americans have lost their jobs or seen a significant decrease in their incomes. the federal reserve is warning that inflation won't be stopping any time soon and that we should be expecting rising prices for at least the next few months. food banks across the country have never been busier. hit with demand from desperate americans who were hit by the double

whammy of rising prices amid a supply chain crisis. i would say that in our county specifically, we've seen a dramatic increase in food insecurity. we've had to make a lot of really tough choices. and so one of the things that we're always trying to reiterates is that we're still in the midst of a disaster. meanwhile, the spectre of rising taxes hangs over many americans biden promises that he will only raise taxes on the ultra wealthy. however, the tax policy center says that many middle class households could be affected republican say that biden's build back better plan for increasing spending will make things worse, joe biden, and comma harris and the rest of the administration. they don't care, they want you not to be able to fulfill up gas in your car. they want your electricity bill to be higher. they want your heating bill to be higher. of course it doesn't impact them. according to a recent poll, 70 percent of americans are dismayed by the current economic situation, while 50 percent blame biden for soaring inflation. not surprisingly, biden's,

popularity has taken a knock. now 51 percent of voters say they favor the g o. p. giving republicans the highest lead facing the mid term in decades. biden promised to rescue the country from a crisis that he blamed on donald trump. however, over the past few months, things don't really seem to have improved with the country financially squeezed. this could mean a big turnaround when it comes to the mid terms. caleb martin, r t new york. next is the pandemic forced us to change the way we will work, perhaps forever will to pub talks to the head of the you ends, international labor organization to see how we're adopting the better or worse and what changes still lead live from moscow. this is aunty ah ah, i saw a message from an unknown account that had a selfie with my pulse board as its profile picture. i saw pictures of my documents

. it was they also sent a credit contract. i had just 3 days comply with their demands to see if i didn't send money and they sent up an online hate campaign that i was supposed to be very dangerous man, who? oh my 2 sons. i know my oldest one. he definitely was a cloud. you can run this ramp down the booth and like to see him go to college and take a trade so he can add something to fall back on. because the way this is looking, i just don't know what is going to be here for future down the road. it's getting to the point now where it's becoming way more dangerous because the canadian their government will come out here.
