in the u. s. in the week, riots erupt as col. rittenhouse is found not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 people at 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 bellows border with poland after more than a week and camping out in freezing conditions and a desperate bid to reach the e. u and find clashes with polish forces to we wouldn't saying so far the largest scale attempt at crossing the border by grants here they aren't backing down. and now we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. oh, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, hello, good, happy with it. welcome to the weekly. we're going to take you through some of the big stories we've been covering here on our see of the past 7 days. first

developments in the last 72 hours though, efforts to stem the latest surge of coven infections have seen frustration to boil over in for e u countries throughout the last week. the latest protests in the belgium capital this afternoon. i'm sunday so riot police, fire, tear gas and water cannon and clashes with those opposing restrictions demonstrated earlier from fireworks officers and bill barricades to stop police getting through the 35000 strong rally, had started peacefully, but city center traffic became paralyzed the streets and tunnels. were blocked, the angus erected restrictions which included requiring passes to enter public places. as some of the most ferocious protests have taken place in the netherlands as that country struggles with lockdown measures imposed a week ago. dozens of writers, countrywide have been arrested on thursday, there were angry scenes in the czech republic capital, prague, the austrian capital. so clashes too, as it heads into a full national lockdown,

which comes into force in the next few hours. ah ah mm ah, for reporting for us from saturday's protests in vienna, our europe correspondent, peter oliver. as you can see the dentist ations here as they come into the final stages, lighting the flesh behind us. these demonstrations coming out to say, go to the austrian government policies when it comes to coven 19 with glimpses coming through the geisha, as we head towards the historic historic policy here in the center.

they all seem capital quite your money themes as they come through that with the as they come through the asked to try and get away from the crowd of it as they come 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 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 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 this coming monday, a national lockdown will be going on. he also said that from the 1st of february, that will be well, a mandatory vaccination policy in place across austria, all sure, becoming the 1st country in europe to do so. that really upset a lot of people. lot of those that we spoke to a lot of people that come out here just behind me flaring those horns. very upset that all should become 1st european nation is put in place. this type of mandatory vaccine policy. i sing, it's not the question from the government. i 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 afraid to lose all a table critique. i'm not happy with this sir. solution because sir, it's against done the wish of upper people and i'm human rights are being done on, on, on the ground already or beneath, under the ground. they'll alexander schellenberg. they all say, and johnson says, the reason he did that was because his hand was forced because too 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 austria is 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 alex under shalon bows, government is handled. they say you're in austria role the while of course, the world health organization continues to stress that 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 mike, these restrictions and earlier in the week, kevin, i will talk 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, highest ill and 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 or mass. and then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism and lifted restrictions very early on 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 cause i've got their reputations on the line as well, are gonna say, well we, we're, we're trying to ease up. we're trying to move forward the car. when can i, this is a failure of governance. this is a failure 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, right? 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, 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 is as we try

and push back to normal. first 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 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 was 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 fridays acquittal of col, written the 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 and shelter. 2 people and wounded a 3rd. the 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 red house not guilty with now that the jury handed down the verdict. it's dawn the trials over. rittenhouse not guilty on all accounts. 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 even, even that the chief defender, that the main mark richards, who was written houses lawyer, he sat there, they were betting that tuesday $430.00 they, they're, they're more than likely would be a decision whether it was on jury, whether a verdict was handed down. that the jury would wrap up by then rest assured, this is not the end of the debate having to deal with this case. it will continue to be debated both in the media, the politics surrounding it and those who, 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 the britain. how shall 3 black men when in fact,

all 3 white. i'll tease saskia. 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 are high fiving pat. this person's been african american or looked at 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 tile 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 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, this justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed

the many divides. 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 directly 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 po number, i think 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 fact, but they shall fanned the flames of division. many outlets continued to co. 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 curious if the work you have to provide one on his way home. he clearly had a change of heart and decided he wasn't piece 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 bring 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 that comes 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 all it takes in today's america is one small strike of a match for everything to explode. or with that in mind, you as a libertarian activist spike cohen talk to us about the reaction america can 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 incident and it shouldn't be calm. but unfortunately that's the reality we live in. is that everything on any incident that happens like this, you're going to have politicians sometimes on both sides of the argument and,

and we incorporated figures who are going to do everything they can to. so he treat intention to keep people divided to keep them watching. and clicking and the key people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top without c on the way suspicions that ukraine's planning provocations against crimea will tell you what about the warnings voiced this sunday by the russian security council among our stories after this. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk ah,

we're seeing high levels, one certainty creeping in economic life. and i think we're all aware of the disruption of global supply chains. we're seeing spike in the cost of energy. we're seeing a reappearance of inflation. i think all of these constitute the economies scroll down to sign risks, which could mean the weather is still ahead of us, despite the moderation of the severity of the making juice crisis. ah hello again. now after a week long stand off with polish authorities, many migrant started to leave the bellow. ruth, you board of this week with some already getting flight back home to iraq. but despite the polish governments tough stance, hundreds of protests is march through more so in supported by grants on their

doorstep. holding banners, calling for the authorities to welcome them into poland. otc gosh, donald reported from the border for us in the week where 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 that they are responding in turn. by the use of by the use of pepper spray, we are trying to stay at safe distance. i look over there, they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the barbed wire. 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 are, we could see that the disenchantment that the, that they are very, very angry and irritated at theme. you know, i would basically 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 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 of it. 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 r c aunt becky, down my grants here, they aren't 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, it is used as a scare tactics indeed because of offense. part of offense is almost down so. so the polish, the polish border patrol, the polish military police, they have been they have been many 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 they are not 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 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, the polish military police, with rocks. this is what they're doing, and we've just been pepper sprayed. 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 there. and road they are going in. it looks like they're cheering. 6 1 of their rhone, that is mabel about the fence so they are covering it with some. 2 plastic, probably to put to use it as a shield to protect themselves from tear gas. just look at that. oh my oh, that was brutal. 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 to for now, keep the migrants at bay. or as you probably gathered from ega report conditions, there have been freezing. none, the less thousands of migrants have been camping out in a bitter cold at the border, hoping to get into the a you. although right now, the latest this weekend is that only a few doesn't remain after most were relocated to a nearby warehouse. a cobit vaccination points also been set up for them and a w h o representative checked up on people that 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. liberal, 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. none, none of that you countries are ready to speak about this problem and nobody accepts

us in holland is using tear gas against women and children. and the you keep silence about this. i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous if they c as, as animals are, but we are not on an ocean oliver. i have failed to reach germany. and i want to go home them or that we've tried to get to europe 3 times. i didn't succeed. i'm upset when i saw happen to 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 are saying, please come back. when i saw poland, you steer gas against women and children. i thought other european countries would be no different men. oh, good, dim and blame game goes on all around the u. n. says poland responds to the crisis, does break humanitarian law and rights to asylum while some a use day to keys. bell roots 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 border laws. and we discussed the crisis throughout the week with a number of guests who told us that brussels needs to do more to resolve the situation. 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 lanes are cut or, or there are not 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 the player that these people should not coming, it's the exact opposite of what mrs. markham, setting 2015 off the shot from best. they can come, they are fleeing the chaos caused by the united states. and if you are being 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 of the well,

we are to day that we go around the world creating kayla and havoc. and yet we won't allow in 34000 people. men m highway educated thought those architects and swan, we could the european union and the u. k. can absorb those numbers, not difficult. it. moscow's warning of a significant increase and the likelihood of ukraine carrying out provocations against crimea. the deputy head of the russian security council said on sunday that that's been a spike in activity by ukrainian special services and radical groups towards the peninsula, including the illegal movement of arms. i munition and explosives and what comes after the criminal spokesperson also said that there's been a suspicious uptake in what he called, in logical military accusations from the us. 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 lost a number of unsubstantiated claims of an eminent russian invasion of ukraine. u. s . officials have also alleged that russia's placed a $100000.00 troops on its border and is reading an attempt to expand its territory . meanwhile nato's increased its exercises and reconnaissance flights in the black sea racing significant concerns in the kremlin. earlier m. r t political analyst gilbert doctorate told us that he thinks it all amounts 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 they're already 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. in point of fact, it's not, there's no response from the west. it is initiative of the west to which rushes typically react there. so the military threat host by these, these visits, by, by u. s. naval forces was, has 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, and acts as we can for you. one of new york has harling secrets of the story of an island where the unclaimed dead, a lay to rest. 1000000 american dreams as next onasia international. ah

l look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point obviously is to great trust rather than fear. and there is job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with a.
