ah ah, protests in europe as new lockdown restrictions are imposed of violence or ups in the netherlands for a 2nd life while in brussels. there are clashes between police and demonstrators. on the weekly this, our, we try to work out where it is all heading. the panel of guests, my response to the politicians is where well, you, when your case number was slightly hi. hi. hi, i still as me get, you stuck 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 masks. a in the u. s. riots arrived as cow rittenhouse is found,

not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 people at a racial justice protest. last year, it has divided american society with politicians and the media. brushing to take science and migrant. start to leave bella bruce's border with poland. after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions in a desperate bid to reach the you and violent clashes with polish forces as well. we wouldn't saying so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the board. and by going to see, are they on backing down? now we can hear the approach of a military highly cult oh, we've just been purpose sprayed. ah, all our broadcasting lob direct from our studios in moscow, recapping to week stop stories with our weekly program. this is our t international now efforts to stem the latest surge of coven infections have seen

frustration, spoil over in the e. u over the last several days. the latest protests in belgium capital on sunday afternoon. all right. police, fire to gas and water cannon into classes with those opposing restrictions. demonstrators had earlier thrown fireworks officers and built barricades to stop police getting through the 35000 strong rally. had started peacefully but the city center traffic became paralyzed as streets and tunnels were bluff. the anger is directed at restrictions which included requiring passes to enter public places. now, some of the most ferocious protests have taken place in the netherlands with the country struggling with lockdown. measures imposed a week ago. dozens of writers, countrywide have been arrested. the austrian capital, sol classes as well as it had 2 full national lockdown which comes into force in the next few hours.

ah, ah mm mm. reporting from saturdays protests in vienna or your correspondent 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's policies. when it comes to coven, 19 with glimpses coming through the gate. as we had to 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 come with that flu going for the most part, this demonstration was incredibly peaceful. however, there were 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 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 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. but 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's a question for the people. if i want it, i can hear for it. but what's with the 1000000 people's? they don't like this. what's with this? we have a problem with the austrian government. ah, we,

we have freight to lose all a table critique. i'm not happy with this sir. solution because sir, it's against them. the wish of offer people and the un human rights are being done on, on, on the ground already or beneath, under the ground. now, alexander schellenberg, they all say, 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 are at creaking point. when it comes to taking severely ill people in

intensive care units, they all 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 bos gorman's is handled, they say you're in austria all the while the world health organization continues to stress that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the spread of cov it but as countries continued to impose locked downs, many people are asking when might these restrictions ent? earlier in the week, kevin owen, my colleagues, spoke 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 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 reactive 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 on coalition, already 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 cuz have got their reputations on the line as well. are going to 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 were saying, i early are extensively and you will control it. then the economy is trashed and they say you how people are trashing the economy. what they do not want to accept is the economy is trashed because you messed up. i don't think it's quite am

specifically, i'm to choose a section of the medical profession to say, you know that we should be mandatory. well, how are you? how is it mandatory when there's so much confusion going on? because a lot of people you're augusta should know because it works for the medical profession . i suppose we all the us know medics look to you to do the best practice to do the best possible thing. we do do the best thing for our patients, but the problem is, the guidance that we get given change is week by week is to confusion just as soon as we get you start one set of new wrong with a new policy. something else comes out which contradicts that so many things to worry about. gas prices are in up cove. it seems to be coming back for a face time. and it still getting mixed messages from the 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 as we try to 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. we want to get on with our lives, but normal wasn't great for people experiencing homelessness, homeless. it wasn't great for people experiencing racism. these are things that are continuing to exist, so if we go back to normally, we need to be careful not to go back to, to what with 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 to normal, wasn't last night. go back to normal number one. and number 2, we need some time. americans, enraged by the acquittal of col, rittenhouse on homicide charges have turned out in several cities in protest. the teenager brought a rifle to a racial justice rally in wisconsin last year. he then shot and killed 2 people and wounded a 3rd actions. his lawyers said worry in self defense,

but the rulings sparked unrest across 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 was in 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 said 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. the mainstream media was quick to take sides and even got some facts badly wrong. british online newspaper, the independent claimed that written house shot 3 blackman when in fact all 3 white r t suck taylor comments. now on the trial that has split for us not guilty to was

that of sparked a firestorm in the us white nationalist and domestic terrorist across this country . our high fiving had this person been african american all at a latino. he would be behind bars to night. 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 its seat. 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. he's 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 court room showed the very best of american justice to the attentiveness and the cooperation that you gave to us was, justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed the many

divide. 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 a majority of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable . it's clear there's still a lot more work to do. if you needed anymore, proof of how polarizing the rittenhouse case was, 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 co. rittenhouse, a white supremacist, to fight tanning up no evidence. and despite the fact that the 2 people he killed, would 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. that is a very, extremely serious matter. i saw 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 the jury, as 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 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 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 all it takes in today's america is one small strike a match for everything to explode. us libertarian actress by cohen talked to us about the reaction that america can expect. this is actually going to stoke racial divide. and the reason it's going to stoke racial divides is because politicians and media figures are using it to stoke racial divide. kyle is white or and he thought 3 white people and killed 2 white filling people. so this on his 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 incident and it shouldn't be. but unfortunately, that in reality we live in is that everything, you know, any incident that happens like this, you're going to have politicians sometimes on both sides of the argument and incorporating figures who are going to do everything. the hatred intention,

keep people divided to keep them from watching and clicking and to keep people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top and breaking news. this our just coming into our news desk multiple people are thought to have been injured in the united states in milwaukee about the city in wisconsin through the wall cash holiday parade. i witnesses report on social media that as the vehicle hit, those taking part shots were also being fired from the window. police are investigating the incident or the one suspect is understood to have been detained. people are being asked to avoid the city center. of course, our newsroom is on top of this. we're going to get you more information as it develops. sure, we'll have more information. i still come in the program, suspicions that ukraine's planning proc presentations against crimea will tell you about the warnings voice this sunday by the russian security council among our stories after a short break. se with with

there's a patch of water around the try, a seal island that's in contention between canada and the united states. northern government has suddenly become optimal for lobster, and our population here is exploded. one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had me and canadian fishermen in these waters at the same time jousting for position and tensions or high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could

be magnified to the point where there could be costs that would be significant to pull countries. porter disputes don't go away. they discussed, or something's going to happen. ah, all right, welcome back to the weekly on our to international after a week long stand off with it polish authorities, many my grants started to leave. the bellow roost you border this week with some already getting flights back home to iraq. but despite the polish government tough stance, hundreds of protesters marched through warsaw in support of the migrants on their doorstep. and he were holding banners, calling for the authorities to welcome them into poland or to some good stuff reported from the border 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 they are responding in turn by the use of, by the use of pepper spray. we are trying to say, hey, it's a distance to look over there. they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle. that part of the barbed wire is not clear what they're going to do if they breach the barbed wire fence because there's another one a much more solid. well, 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 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 those of that there. 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, and the location of all the migrants and also it is used as a scare tactics. indeed, he thought of offense, part of offences 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 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 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 up on the fence there and road they are going in. it looks like they're cheering one of their rhone. that is mabel about of the fence. so they are covering it with some plastic. 2 probably to for, to, to use it as a shield to protect themselves from tier guys. just look at that. oh my oh, that was brutal. they did not work at all. they are being sprayed relentless. see right now, it seems that the polish that the polish side has, well enough, has enough people as enough of personnel, military personnel here to, for now,

keep the migrants at bay while, as you saw from eager as report conditions, there have been freezing none the last thousands of migrants have been camping out in that bitter cold at the border hoping to get into the e u. although this weekend, only a few dozen remained after most, were relocated to a nearby warehouse. a covert vaccination point has 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. liberty, 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. done . none of the you countries are ready to speak about the speak problem, hon. nobody accepts, as i said in holland, is using tig against women and children. and the you keep silence about this. i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous if they seize as animals are, but we are not on emotion. 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, but i saw happened at the border. i can't stay 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 used to your gas against women and children, i thought other european countries would be no different men. oh, good. and the blame game goes on all round. the un says pauline's response to the crisis. does break humanitarian law and rights to asylum. while some e, you states accused belarus of engineering events in the hybrid war against the block allegations denied by the bel russian president who in turn accused the e. u. of violating border loss. we discussed the crisis throughout the week with a number of guests who told us brussels needs to do more to resolve the situation. do ill at ease with this thing. you know, 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 more many, anyway sanctions. it's just the word. it is totally inefficient that really annoyed by this problem. because as you here in germany now, 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 go, they'll 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 fence and police and units. it really says something about the state of the will. we are to day that we go round the world creating kayla and havoc. and yet we want to live in 34000 people met him highway educating both those architects and swan rica the european union. and the u. k. can absorb those numbers. no difficulty at moscow as warning of

a significant increase in the likelihood of ukraine carrying out provocations against crimea. the deputy head of the russian security council said on sunday that there has been a spike in activity by ukrainian special services and radical groups towards the peninsula. including the illegal movement of arms, ammunition and explosives. this comes after the kremlin spokesperson said that there has also been a suspicious uptake in what he called illogical 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 has recently launched a number of unsubstantiated claims of an imminent russian invasion of ukraine. us officials have also alleged that russia has placed 100000 troops on its border and

is ready in attempt to expand its territory. meanwhile, nato has increased its exercises and reconnaissance flights in the black sea raising significant concerns in the kremlin politics analyst gilbert doctor says 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 or 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 are already united states. and nato countries are very quick to tribute to russia, their own, their own activities and their own designs. and they take this just starting point

for i suppose, at western response. point of fact it's not that there's no response from the west . it is initiative of the west to which rushes typically react. and so the military threat posed by these, these visits, by, by us naval forces was strictly a political dimension. and mainly i believe was projected to ukraine as to atlanta grab by being a motive for russian activity. but that's not nonsense. now before we go back to our breaking news story, this, our multiple people are thought to have been injured in the us state of, of wisconsin. when a car plowed through waukesha holiday parade, a red sport utility vehicle can be seen speeding towards martyrs, from behind in a video posted to social media. while a 2nd video shows police appearing to open fire on the eci v as it crashes through .
