was a lot of let the politicians do what they want. they didn't follow some of the mandates they weren't wearing mass ah, in the u. s. riots are up to 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 media rushing to take sides and migrants start to leave. belarus is border with poland after more than a week of camping out in freezing conditions in a desperate bid to reach the e. u and violent clashes with police forces as well. we are witnessing so far, the largest scale attempt at crossing the board by going to see the on backing down . and now we can hear the approach of a military helicopter i, we've just been purpose grade

to broadcasting a lot of directors. yes. in moscow, this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories with our weekly program. but we start with breaking news. this our one person is presumed dead and at least 20 are injured in the u. s state of wisconsin when he car plowed through a christmas parade. now a bit of a warning. you may find the falling images disturbing. a red sport utility vehicle can be seen speeding towards marchers from behind in a video posted to social media. police are investigating the incident which took place in a walking suburb in the state of wisconsin. now walker shop, police chief, described a probing to be incident as ongoing, having a suspect. the vehicle had been recovered. he said police were looking into a person of interest, but it was unclear if they were in custody. he described the incident as, quote,

very tragic, very chaotic and our newsroom is on top of tuition right now. they are processing news as it comes in. we will keep you informed as it develops. earlier we spoke with political and legal analyst, jennifer britain, who said the motive remains unclear. there is no, no idea, no idea whether it's motive, whether it's drug related with mine or whether this was intentional in any way on. there are different local ports that have been coming out. you know, a couple local reports from eye witnesses in the area saying that the person had a gun in their car. obviously this would change everything regarding motive, you know, any, any sort of a motive or idea that the person might have done this by accident or on some kind of drug hi would go out the window if there was in fact a gun. and there have been now at least 3 witnesses that have come out saying that they specifically scald the driver with a gun at the window. the united states, especially there's so many local parades. there's so many things that happen, whether it's for local communities and you walk in the local,

a local privilege parade that happens. and so, you know, to have these kinds of barriers that you're talking about a lot in. and i think that's something that americans, i know your opinions, unfortunately had to become more acclimated to this american. this is going to be a new thing. efforts to stem, the latest surge of covert infections have seen frustrations boil over in the eel over the last several days. the latest protests in the belgian capital on sunday afternoons. all right, please fire tear gas and water cannons in clashes with those opposing restrictions . demonstrators had earlier thrown fireworks with officers and barricades to stop police getting through the 35000 strong rally. had started peacefully but city center traffic became paralyzed as streets and tunnels were blocked. the anger is directed at restrictions which include requiring passes to enter the public places . 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, country wide have been arrested. the austrian capital for classes, as well as it had to a full national lockdown, which has already come into effect. ah mm mm, mm. reporting from saturday's protests in vienna are your correspondent peter oliver. as you can see, the dentist agency, they come into the final stages, lighting the flash behind these demonstrations coming out to say,

go to the austrian government policies. when it comes to coven. 19 with glimpses coming through the gate. as we had towards the historic historic policy here in the center, they all seem capital quite your money themes 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 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 into that particular group. those that have inside 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 said that from the 1st of february, that will be well aid mandatory vaccination policy in place across austria. all should be coming. the 1st country in europe to do so that really upset a lot of people. lot of those that we spoke to a lot of people that come out here just behind me flaring those hollands very upset that all should become 1st european nation is put in place this type of mandatory vaccine policy icing. it's not the question from the government. i think it's

a question for the people. if i want it, i can have 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 done the wish of upper people and the human rights are being done on, on, on the ground already, or beneath, under the ground. now, alexander schellenberg, they all say and john to says the reason he did that was because his hand was forced because to many people in his country as he sees it a fall and fall of what he calls anti vax propaganda. and that's one of the reasons he said that a vaccine uptake in austria was so low. these people low say they just don't want

the government to have so much say in what happens to them, why they take vaccines. the real statistics, though, are knox 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 or stay 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 covered but as countries continue to impose locked downs, many people are asking when might these restrictions? and earlier in the week, my colleague kevin owen, spoke to medical and social science experts to try and gauge where it all may be

heading impression. i guess it 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, because they've 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 act extensively and you will control it. then the economy is trashed and they say you how people are trashing the economy. what they do not want to accept is the economy is trashed because you messed up. i don't think it's quite am specifically and to choose a section of the medical profession to say, you know that we should be mandatory. well, how are you? how is it mandatory when there's so much confusion going on? because a lot of people you're 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 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 politician. what's gonna happen is we had into a new year, maybe going to a 6th or 7th wave of this. well, i think there are 2 things that i really want to think about here is as we try to push back to normal, 1st off normal, wasn't that great for everybody. and so i know that all 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 normal we, 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 that 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 the acquittal of cow rittenhouse on homicide charges have turned out in several cities in protest. the teenager brought and rifle to a racial justice rally last year in wisconsin. he then shot and killed 2 people and wounded a 3rd actions. his lawyers said were in self defense, but the rulings sparked on rest 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 don the,

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 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 that they were betting that tuesday $430.00 they, they're there 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. mainstream media was quick to take sides and even got some of the facts, badly wrong. british online newspaper, the independent claimed that written house shot 3 black men. then in fact, he actually shot 3 whiteman archie soccer taylor comments down on the trial that has split us 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 at a lead 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, feet, it set up an epic clash for some he's a lawyer in order. a hero, a real american,

taking on out of control riotous for others peace. everything that's wrong with the country, a racist white vigilante, you can cute to kill no questions asked. and while the judge might think his courtroom showed the very best of american justice, that 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 too. it's a very cool. we just witnessed a system built on white supremacy, validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist. this only further validates the need to abolish our current system. white supremacy cannot be reformed. a system that legitimizes vigilante murder is deeply broken. today's verdict speaks for itself. i've spent the majority of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable. it's clear

there's still a lot more work to do if you needed any more proof of how polarizing the rittenhouse case was. look no farther than twitter. minutes off to the verdict was delivered to hashtags that started trending. so you either with him or against him, that was no in between, especially true if he were mainstream media, they might have been short on the facts, but they shall fanned the flames of division. many outlets continued to cool. rittenhouse, a white supremacist, to fight tanning up no evidence. and despite the fact that the 2 people he killed, what both white and well everyone expected reporting around the child to be fanatic desperation for the ultimate scoop per some to cross the line. i have instructed that no one from emission b c. news will be permitted in this building, someone who is following the jury bus. it 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 curious if the work you have to abide by 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 guardsmen 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 a match for everything to explode. you as a libertarian activist, spike cohen talked 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 in killed 2 white killing 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. but unfortunately that's the reality we live in. is that everything, 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 that can bestow, how do you treat 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. after a week, long stand off with polish authorities. many migrants started to leave the belarus e border this week with some already getting flights back home to iraq. but despite the polish governments tough stance, hundreds of protesters marched through warsaw in support of the migrants on their doorstep. many were holding banners, calling for the authorities to welcome them into poland, but is eager to dana for pointing from the border. in the week, we're attention,

we're 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 use of purpose break. 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 have very, very angry and irritated at the, you know, i would basically have their predicament at the conditions that they have been left in. there was a dangerous, dangerous throw over there. 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. 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 there. they are. the aunt becky, down my grants here, the on backing down. and i, 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, it is used as a scare tactics. indeed, he's part of a fence. so part of offense is almost down. so, so the polish, the polish border patrol, the polish military police, they have been they have been manning that section of the fence more extensively than others. and there's also another water cannon. now helping out from over there, people are now pelting rocks. i can see that the arno, pelting rocks at the, at the security force is 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 post active people pelting the military police, the polish military police, with rocks. this is what they're doing and we've just been purpose freight. 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. 6 1 of their rhone that is mabel about the fence so they are covering it with some plastic. 2 probably to put to use it as a shield, protects themselves from tear gas. just look at that. oh my oh, that was brutal. they did not work at all. they're being sprayed relentlessly. right now. it seems that we polish, that the polish side has. well, enough has enough people as enough of personnel,

military personnel here too. for now, keep the migrants at bay as you saw from ears reported 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 coven vaccination point has also been set up and a w. h. o representative checked in on people there on sunday. but despite the slightly improved condition, some migrants have been left feeling so desperate that they just want to go back home again. liberty, we did meet your my 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 new countries are ready to speak about this big problem. nobody accepts us in holland is using take us against women and children, and the you keep silence about this. i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous if they see as, 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 and didn't succeed. i'm upset when i saw happen to the board. a can't stay very hard be done by 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. oh, i thought other european countries would be no different men. oh, good. and the blame game goes on all round. the un says pollings response to the crisis, does break humanitarian law and rights to asylum. while some you states accused bell ruse of engineering events in a hybrid war against the block allegations denied by the bell, russian president, who in turn accuses the you of violating border loss. 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. you know, ill at ease with y'all. they can only impose sanctions,

but that isn't much sanction that they can impose on by rosco's the, the comic links are caught or, or there are not many, anyway, sanctions, it's just the word. it's totally inefficient. our really annoyed by this problem because as you here in germany, ok now the player that these people should not coming. it's the exact opposite of what mrs. oracle setting 2015 off the shot from best. they can comp, they'll 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 militarized pants and police and units. it really says something about the state, the well, we are to day that we go around the world creating kayla and havoc. and yet we want to live 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 . protests have again rock student capital after the countries military, reinstated a prime minister, it ousted just 2 months ago, triggering weeks of deadly unrest. ah large crowds took to the streets to reject any deal with the army. after abdullah hum dog was appointed for a transitional period. at least 40 people died in the weeks following the october 25. who with her gestures demanding full civilian rule in an exclusive interview, a member of the country's transitional southern council, held our sister a key arabic chow, that a prob, if the death is now under way. unfortunately, some manchester violence against police whose main role was to protect

demonstrators. now we have an investigative committee, which is a supreme committee to investigate the killings of assistance. i can assure you that any one complicit will be punished. this committee has already started work. it's a neutral committee and in its report a committee confirmed that the police did not open fire. the prosecutor's office and the technical committee also involved in any person responsible for bloodshed against the sudanese people will be held to a counselor. and since this counsel phone call to the previous government, it would have been illogical for it to revolt against itself. the state, the country is reached in the sense of economic collapse and infighting between ruling parties. this is what led to its holes up there by law. the military role is to maintain security and stability in the country. the government has reached our points of collapse. so a correction of the revolutionary calls should have taken place. so what happened in saddam is not a qu, but correction of the revolutionary course designed to maintain civil society and democracy and keep constitutional order. yes,

up of him. and before we go back to our breaking your story, this, our several people have died and around 20 are understood to have been injured. in the us state of wisconsin after car plowed through a christmas parade, a bit of a warning. you may find the following images disturbing. the red sport utility vehicle can be seen speeding toward marchers from behind a video posted to social media. the injured are understood to include children and members of a dance, true and a marching band. the police chief of walker a milwaukee southern said the program is ongoing and they suspect the vehicle had been recovered. he said police were looking into a person of interest, but it was an unclear if that person was in custody. he described the incident as, quote, very tragic, very chaotic. our newsroom is seeing across situation. we will inform you as it developed.
