10:06 pm
especially there's so many local parades. there's so many things that happen, whether it's for a local communities and you walk on the local, a local christmas parade that happens. and so, you know, tend to have these kinds of barriers that we can put up on different streets. i mean, you're talking about a lot in, and i think that's something that americans, i know, europeans, unfortunately had to become more acclimated to this americans. this is going to be a new thing. efforts to stem the latest surge of covet infections, have seen frustrations boil over in the you over the last several days. the latest protests in the belgian capital on sunday afternoon saul riot, police fire tear gas and water cannons in classes with those opposing restrictions . demonstrators had earlier thrown fireworks at officers and field barricades. the 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 included requiring passes to enter public
10:07 pm
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 rioters countrywide have been arrested. the austrian capital as well saw clashes. the country's full national lockdown has just come into force . ah mm mm mm. reporting from saturday's protests in vienna are your correspondent,
10:08 pm
peter all. as you can see as demonstrations 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 gate. as we had to 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 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 all the actions that
10:09 pm
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, announce it 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, 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
10:10 pm
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'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 afraid to lose all a democrat the i am 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, 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
10:11 pm
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 also, as vaccine rate is below the average when it comes to the rest of the european union. however, these people here say that they just don't agree with the policies and the way that alexander shalon both government is handled, they say are in austria. all the while the world health organization continues to stress that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent the spread of coven. but as countries continue to impose locked downs, many people are asking when might these restrictions?
10:12 pm
and earlier, my colleague kevin owen, 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 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 your mouse. and then they bowed to the pressures of business and capitalism in lifted restrictions . very early on coalition, real pressure, because life has to go on, people have to earn a living. the economy has to keep taken on at some point a. suppose the politicians cause i've got their reputations on the line as well. are going to say, well we,
10:13 pm
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 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 augusta should know because it works for the medical profession . i suppose we all 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
10:14 pm
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 post going to happen is we head 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. huh. 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 were some sort of nostalgia. and i also think we need employers, 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
10:15 pm
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 col, rittenhouse on homicide chargers have turned out in several cities and protests. the teenager brought a rifle to a racial justice rally last year in wisconsin. even shot and killed 2 people and wounded the 3rd actions. his lawyers said we're in self defense, but the rulings sparked unrest across the country. we the jury find the defendant kyle, he'd written kyle each rate health not guilty with
10:16 pm
him now that the jury handed down the verdict. it's dawn 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 vernon handed down. possibly the deliberations were going to extend into the weekend next week is thanksgiving holiday here in the united states. so in an even the chief defender, the main mark, richard, 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,
10:17 pm
and those who support con rittenhouse and those who are, who are opposed to the the ruling today. but my stunning turn of events, absolutely dramatic, and an overall trial that's been dramatic and fall nationally and internationally. mainstream media was quick to take sides and even got some facts badly, wrong. british online newspaper, the independent claim that written house shot 3 black men. when in fact, all 3 were white artists asked taylor looks at the trial that his split the us 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 been african american, all looked at a lot latino. he will be behind bars tonight. we've got a pattern now. we're white. men feel that they have the right to enforce the law themselves. the trial of kyle rittenhouse had america on the edge of it. seat it set up an epic clash for some he's a lawyer in order. a hero, a real american,
10:18 pm
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, 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
10:19 pm
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. it is a very,
10:20 pm
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 would be jury as 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, written house,
10:21 pm
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 and 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, a match for everything to explode. u. s. a. libertarian actress spike cohen talked to us about the reaction 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,
10:22 pm
divides kyle is white or, and he shot 3 white people and killed to white kill into a buffet. so this on its face should not be racial, but it became racial because media heads and politicians who wanted to make it racial have turned it into a racial instant. and it shouldn't be. but unfortunately, that's the reality we live in, is that everything, you know, any incident that happens like this, you're going to have politicians sometimes on both sides of the argument and, and we incorporate your figures who are going to do everything mickey and to so how do you treat intention, keep people divided to keep them from watching and clicking and the key people distracted from the real swindle that's happening at the top. after a week, long stand off with polish authorities. many migrants started to leave the bellows . you bought this week with some already getting flight back home to iraq. now, despite the polish government tough stance, hundreds of protesters marched through warsaw in support of the migrants on their doorstep. many were holding banners,
10:23 pm
calling for the authorities to welcome them into poland. i guess he could have gone off reported from the border in the week where tensions, who 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, who we are trying to stay. that's a distance to look over that they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the barbed wire. it's not clear what they're going to do if they breach the barbed wire fence because there's another one a much more solid. well, a people have been growing increasingly desperate here and we could see that the disenchantment that the, that they have very, very angry and irritated at theme. you know, i would basically 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
10:24 pm
. 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.
10:25 pm
oh, looks like this is that there is a off 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, on the location of all the migrants and also it is used as a scare tactics indeed with part of offense. so part of offenses, 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 that 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
10:26 pm
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. 6 1 of their rhone, that is mabel about of the fence. so they are covering it with some plastic, probably to put to use it as a shield to protect themselves from tier guys. just look at that. oh my oh, that was brutal. they did not work at all, they are being sprayed relentlessly. right now. it seems that the polish that the
10:27 pm
polish side has, well enough, has enough people as enough personnel, military personnel here to, for now keep the migrants at bay. but as you saw from the gross report conditions, there have been freezing none the less thousands of migrants have been camping out in that bitter cold at the border hoping to get into the e. u. although this weekend, only a few dozen remained after most, were relocated to a nearby warehouse. it covered 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 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 10 days and they were children with us. it's very dangerous begun. none of the you countries are ready to speak about the problem on nobody accepts. so soccer in holland is using tig ice against women and children,
10:28 pm
and the you keep silence about this on monday. poland is telling the media that we are dangerous if they c as, as animals are. but we are not on emotion alive. 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 we didn't succeed. i'm upset, but i saw happen to the board a can't stay very hard be done by 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. but before we go back to our breaking news story, this, our police say that there were some fatalities in the u. s. state of wisconsin, when a car plowed through a christmas parade around to 20 people were earlier reporting to have been injured . now a bit of a word of what he may find, the following image is disturbing. ah, a red sport utility vehicle can be seen sweeping toward martyrs from behind,
10:29 pm
and video posted to social media. the injured are understood to include children and members of a dance troupe and a marching band as well. the police chief of walker in the walkie southern said, a suspect vehicle had been recovered and a person of interest is in custody. he stressed it is unknown at this time with the incident is connected to terrorism. yes, b i is also said to be involved in the investigation. we will keep you further informed. as the situation develops, you can see live pictures from the scene as police are trying to unravel exactly what happened. this is arc international. ah, i saw a message from an unknown account because it had a selfie with my passport as its profile page. i saw pictures of my documents. it
