5:03 pm
around the corner. so when you see that he's worked around the track, there is a road and then that's very entered at. so we were the 1st people that he made contact with. yeah. and he was do, and at least $35.00 or 40 miles an hour down the crowded street. it was just an absolute instant chaos. he managed to go almost the entire length of the parade. when he went through our band, he struck a 8 kids were, were down in the kid that i was administering. first aid to both of his feet were like ran over and his legs were broken. you told his band was performing the pride against us while you were filming that. what went 3 ahead is literally, this must all be so unexpected and it takes you just a moment to work out what something around you. first thing though, that went through my head after i realized i couldn't stop the guy was i get the kids off the street in the safety and there's a lot of people who, who've never seen that amount on personally, i've seen trauma before. um,
5:04 pm
so i just started getting people in groups connecting them with each other, getting them to safety. i'm trained in combat 1st aid. so i started, you know, checking the pulses, making sure that kids are bree, then, you know, not mover. tell people to get some blankets out here. my family and kids are still traumatized. we were talking with the police officers until about 1 o'clock because we actually saw the driver's face and we're giving descriptions. most of my kids are, are still sleeping now i, i really couldn't sleep. so meantime, may social media manager for the democratic parties resigned off to some insensitive tweets posted online in which she sarcastically acquainted the incident to call written houses acquittal for murder of 2 men in the same state. the series of contentious posts. let's talk about that now with our correspondent caleb moore, put in a new hi that caleb decimal could actually was married dimansky trying to make
5:05 pm
well, we have a very big split among the u. s. public when it comes to the recent trial, kyle rittenhouse and his ultimate acquittal. and now we have some social media activity that seems to indicate how deeply divided the country is when kyle written houses name is dragged, the n to commentary in the aftermath of this horrific incident in war, cassia. and now the dupage county democratic party staffer mary le man ski, she mockingly compared the incident that happened to carma for clay, written house being acquitted on all charges. here's what she tweeted out. it was probably just self defense. i'm sad. i'm sad. anytime any one dies, i just believe in karma, and this came around quick on the citizens of wisconsin. now she also said that the blood of the victims is on the hands of wisconsin. citizen, saying the state is reaping what it's so the public was needless to say,
5:06 pm
flabbergasted by miss le mans keys, comments. and we, she was somebody who had a position, ah, she was social director of the do page, democratic party of illinois, but she is no longer listed. there is no one listed for that position on the parties website. and they, the democratic party of du, page county, illinois, was quick to distance itself from lazansky comments. this is what they said the democratic policy of do page county immediately several times with mary landscape. once we became aware of her colors and reprehensible posts, she does not speak for us and we end quickly reject her statements about the tragic events that occurred yesterday and walk asia. we as a party denounced violence of any kind. now mary le man, sky house, sand sir, deleted these tweets from her social media accounts. and at this point, she's no longer associated with the democratic party of do page, county,
5:07 pm
illinois. however, these comments which immediately kind of just exploded on social media with many looking at them and just seeing her outrage, they seem to indicate how deeply divided the country is. and incidence, like the kyle written house verdict seemed to be highlighting a real gap among the u. s. public and how they view events taking place on a day just to leaving trees doesn't draw a line under. and if it does, because the things just live forever on line. okay, caleb open, thank you. next with a 4th wave of covert battering europe each state. so reintroducing extremely tough restrictions with blanket curfews and the segregation for the unvaccinated. the dutch leaders branded those protesting against the move idiots, an exhaust alternate as prime minister and as a liberal. i will always defend the rights and demonstrates in this country that is part of our democracy, of our rules of law. but what i will never accept is that it is under the guise of
5:08 pm
being dissatisfied. you share violence against the people who work for you and me every day in the field to keep this country safe. won't touch prime minister marketer then, not pulling any punches when it comes to how he feels about those that took part in knights of violence across the netherlands over the weekend just gone. in fact, in rotterdam, 3 riots is that we had to received medical treatment for gunshot wounds. and our investigation is underway to try and establish whether those shots had been fired by the police. previous reports had said that said the police had fired warning shots as they struggled to contain with what the,
5:09 pm
the cities man has called an orgy of violence elsewhere in the netherlands in gauze . and dow and elementary school was set on fire also in goin again, shops was smashed open. there was looting that went on here in germany. we didn't see those type of scenes over the weekend. what we do have heading into this week is a lot of new measures being taken to try and stop rocketing cove at 19 figures. in fact, in parts of the state of buttons voting bog, you're going to be facing at 10 p. m. curfew not allowed out your house at all. if they try and get numbers down in that area, proof of vaccination recovery or a negative test, you're going to need to be able to show one of those. if you want to do pretty much any in some of germany's hardest hit states including saxony and bavaria, that's called the 3 g method. basically that you need to provide proof that you've, they said how the vaccination or you've recovered, or you have a negative test,
5:10 pm
a lot of places going even further and adopting the 2 g policy that so only allowing access to certain areas if you are well vaccinated, or you can prove that you've recovered. we've entered into the holiday period here in germany, and from monday at around a lot of the country christmas markets opened up. in fact, in some places such as munich, they're not opening at all. some of the most famous markets, not opening that doors again this year because of the coven pandemic. however, here in berlin, some are going to be doing just thought you're going to need to pass that to g. system proof of vaccination or proof of recovery elsewhere though they're taking a much harder line. in fact, in humbug, they've come into a little controversy as they've, they've erected essentially offense through the christmas market. one side being for the vaccinated, the other side being for the own, vaccinated a lot of measures being put in place. and we are expecting perhaps even more to
5:11 pm
come into play here in germany. the german health minister again spawn really not painting a very rosy picture of the state of affairs right now. especially in the thesis, been to us probably by the end of this winter or sometime cynically said pretty much everyone in germany will be vaccinated, recovered or dead. but it's true with a highly contagious delta. very, he's very, very likely. elsewhere in europe, the belgian sold violence in the capital, brussels on sunday is unseat covert restriction. demonstrations got very ugly indeed. in australia they begin a new national lockdown on monday. will continue for at least 10 days, but could be extended through until the 13th of december. while in france, alarm bells ringing there with the country's health ministers, say they've been shocked at how quickly case numbers have increased across the country. could well be expecting to see new restrictions in france. very soon.
5:12 pm
britton's health secretary submitted that the national health service waiting list, which is already hit record highs, is unlike is likely to rise even further. to date the around 6000000 people waiting to schedule hospital treatment. the chief executive of a group that represents health service leaders is attributed delays to underfunding, coven, 19, and failures in social care. even before the pandemic started the demand for me in a chest or a red coat levels, get the amount of money going into support and provide the services and shrinking. because you mustn't forget, you have to understand how a government pending of the panoramic on a background of a desire to privatize the chest. and let's not forget, before we enter the pandemic. again, it was short, short of 10000 doctors, 40000 nurses. the government's been in power for 11 years. in 2012, the introduced a major legislative change which our saw and care provision in our bags.
5:13 pm
so we entered, depend them in a very curious situation. the problem is, the chance is being set up to fail. the government wants to tear them resembling the american system where you have skid row, public provision, and the middle cloth of our private insurance. that's what's going on. and health care leaders are not filling this out to the public. so then on our side, i'm afraid. meantime, the british government speed accused of not doing enough with a new report by the national audit office, criticizing its response to coven. this pandemic is exposed to vulnerability to host system emergencies. although the government had plans for an influence a pandemic, it did not have detail plans for many non health consequences and some health consequences of a pandemic. like coven 19 there was limited oversight and assurance of plans in place. and many pre pandemic plans were not adequate. it was my grandfather who
5:14 pm
died on christmas eve. he went in for a routine or infection. i've seen nothing wrong with him. cocoa died as a lot people did in this country. so the father, my grandfather in rural west england was taken out by a virus that started in china because our government still allowed people to fly from business flights and separate last year. and it's pretty shocking my hancock giving away 600000 new p p to china as it gets to february. doesn't really how so this is how the employee hasn't been bags. yeah. this, there's numerous stories of how service is being led down by life or, or is johnson to verify that increased orders goes to show that they didn't understand the stress this would have on, on a chest, along with the men who have on this dots as it is this entire time the report also
5:15 pm
note that despite warnings about potential shortcomings ahead of the outbreak, the government failed to act and suggested that officials with to wrapped up in preparations for breakfast. however, downing street defended its response, saying the pandemic was unprecedented. we have always said there are lessons to be learned from the pandemic and have committed to a full public inquiry in spring. we prepare for a range of scenarios, amal, there were extensive arrangements in place. this is an unprecedented pandemic that has challenged health systems around the world. tons of things are unprecedented. walking into the road is unrest. 11. i was going to happen when you walk into the street, m. o. we walk into the street, the knowledge that we have to look left to right. these people did. we don't need current to kind of based buffoonery in charge. we need a meritocracy. we need the scientists, we need people actually understand what the talking about. this whole process has been done by people that don't understand science,
5:16 pm
don't take it seriously. it took 56 days to introduce masks, countries like career and china been using last the years with some reason in britain we just didn't get our government list for of money 1st. they fought well, you know, we can either keep our pool is open, which would potentially, you know, kill a large population of british people with the economy with such as 5 longer or we can close it in economy. okay. go ahead. what they've done is i tried to do an option a, it didn't work, we've lost lots of people in the economies to not to slap max women and urban communities have suffered disproportionate, socio economic effects in the pandemic and international. and of course, he's widened according to a major new global report from the red cross. coven 19 has amplified inequalities destabilized communities and reverse development gains made in the past decades. we will never truly be able to say that this pandemic is over. if the socio economic cons are not addressed,
5:17 pm
any action will be meaningless. if we do not also consider the consequences of violence, discrimination, and exclusion in an integrated way. it will continue to be a crisis that affects us all. the report highlight some of the worst consequences of the crisis, including worsening on employment. and loss of income has also been an accompanying increase in food insecurity, with communities around the world. finding it harder to feed their families. women in particular have become more exposed to sexual and gender based violence, as well as bearing the brunt of subsequent mental health impacts. earlier, i'll say the red cross and red crescent president told me how he's deeply worried about society's most vulnerable. i did not doors were leaving and if you got condition before the crisis and once again, this is dami. gus prove need and saw that most marginalized groups we met and she said in the especially they've developed counties. but natalie,
5:18 pm
even in the western counties he's been very, very clear now in the. ready in the or by 15 said a new dees, the number all the way up and it, especially the most people enable the add this to reach. so these is something that continue to happen. and unfortunately, despite all the calls. busy that we may not on the ask that you might need the community to the call to the government to, to do more, to protect the most we're going to border. and so far as they are still leading the consequences of the crisis. these i'm very brought to that, all of the women in many, many societies that i created for the specific storm. and as a consequences of the, of the, of the pandemic class. when, when it comes to the, to the jobs in that market, on the job market, the women i often employed in for my sector,
5:19 pm
and once again the informal effects. why not to be of the most exposed to the confinement and lockdown. we must use the opportunity to address form that project . they make it in important the need to create a new public of the society to be the society around around the values and bring people that it seems we are losing. and this is something that, that for me, is a streaming extremely vital next, more than half of new york's police officers say they wouldn't join the force if they had the to do it again. from an internal poll of nearly 6000 uniformed officers taken in march, which has just been revealed by the new york post. nearly 3 quarters of offices surveyed, also think that the public does not have a good relationship with the police. with a majority of those feeling that the public disrespects and distrusts them are also
5:20 pm
an incredible 80 percent of respondents say they're afraid to aggressively fight crime due to fears of criminal liability, being sued or unfairly disciplined out, while perhaps most alarming about this is that the survey took place before the landmark police reform initiative in may, which ban police from using chokehold assigned to special prosecutor to police evolve deaths and also limited to qualified immunity which protected officers against civil lawsuit. and that opened the door to civilians looking to suit police for certain suspected violations. now prior to these reforms, police said that they believed the crime rates would also become even worse. 79 percent of those surveyed said that they did not believe the city will become any safer over the next 2 years and with rates now increasing. that's also a major concern to the police department and to city chief as go live to new york. now we can talk to police officers such as the hawkins who also hosts the reasonable suspicion podcast. welcome to archie. now you don't need to be in new
5:21 pm
york to know that your force has one of police is toughest jobs in the developed world. what is making the m y p d officers? so pessimistic right now? well, every cops i speak to in the y p d. just feel that everyone is against them from the public to the elected officials, to the mayor. it's even the higher ups, the just feel like there's no right. they can ever do valuable crimes buying tools like stock question frisk were taken away. you know, legal options for people. i want to assume police were expanded. you know, every, every elected official now has a platform. they want to go directly after police. this is going to make anyone safe, was going to make cops apprehensive and empower in boulder and criminals as we've seen. are you surprised at the numbers that came back in the survey given that it was before those police reforms came out? do you imagine that it's worse than that? well, i actually think it's much worse. i mean of the poll didn't surprise me or didn't
5:22 pm
surprise love long foresman experts at all. you know, like i said, you want to have programs like the fund, the police, which are directly going after cops. you have elected officials standing up and they should more empathy towards hard and criminals than towards the police that actually incorporate criminals the and we have the elected officials rule campaign on promises. we're going to actively prosecute cops, or what else could you possibly expect to happen? cops i'm going to, when i got the risk, their future, their, their family, their, their financial well being. so they're going to take a step back and this isn't going to make anyone's, they would say for and we're a city chiefs and all this. or indeed the m y, p d higher echelons there who's looking out for this. why did they need an internal paul to tell them this? i think it's premise just being common knowledge. i think the poll just brought the truth to the light. you know,
5:23 pm
morale has been down for you long time. ever since this current administration has decided the anti cough stand and has started with groups like black lives who are very tight cop call. busy for the funding and even tests are police, we have officials that one to stand with these groups and want to empower emboldened them without any sort of consequence. and then you're directing all of your resources into making coughs for you as cornered as possible. is this, this poll just brought the true to light as far as where the higher ups are, where the executives are. i think their hands are tied, you know, they're, they're basically biting, elected officials who wield all the power and there's not much they can do. and what effect does this have on trying to do your job in new york? if on the one hand you're trying to fight crime is part of the united states big, it's police force while also trying to civil tediously fight reputational damage. it becomes a no win situation. you know, you want to, you know,
5:24 pm
every time i've talked to signed up for this job in order to make a difference in order to go out there and make their neighborhood safer. you've got cops or 3rd generation like i and you got cops that looked at, you know, this is the family business. so if it comes with more, it's more into jobs. it's a way of life. it's an honor. it's probably, will you become family with other cops and to now just feel like you, every time you go to work, you know, you despise on you. no matter what you do going to how righteous your intentions are, that you can do? no, right. is the moralizing and as just human beings. first of all, you know, you walk into work every day, just feeling dread on yourself. either it's difficult to generalize because every city is different. every state is different. but do you think that this is reflected across much of the police departments in the united states? right now, overall recruitment in the united states, especially in blooming states,
5:25 pm
is down. the only place where recruitment is up is florida. so i think, you know, as the poll showed in new york, especially in places like chicago in l. a in seattle, they feel is the exact same way. so who's going to saw this out there? because politicians are going to have one eye on the very media savvy campaigns and movements that are called their anger directed the police it's going to take the regular voting citizenship. you've got, you've got these politicians, you've got these activists that were the, from the police and pull police out of areas and they bear, no consequence for anybody that goes on is going to pick the people in the neighborhood stepping up saying, yes, we want more police yes, we want training for police, and if you are going to stand and behind criminals who are directly impacting our neighborhoods a negative way, we're going to vote you out. we're not going to give you an opportunity to enact
5:26 pm
laws or policies that are going to be detrimental to our neighborhoods. the silent majority is going to have to speak up. and so who has to make the 1st move? now in order to try and turn the tide of what is rock bottom, police morale in new york right now. like i said, this is going to be the public. you know, the elected officials are doing what they think the public wants. meanwhile, people on the street, myself, other other cops, you know, we're doing things, we're having people saying they'll be watching in our neighborhoods. so it's going to take the public, taking, making a stand and knowing, you know, you're not going to pull cops, are unable to rely on them for safety. while he's worked with officials, they have security details, the living gave the neighborhoods. i think corey bush from st. louis bragged a couple weeks ago about how she spent $70000.00 on her security detail. the average person on the street does not have $70000.00 to spend on security detail. so if you want change in your neighborhood as a civilian,
5:27 pm
you're gonna have to vote people when they're going to support you, going to support the police and support general safety for your neighborhood. well, no matter what, some of the polls might sound sure. there are a few new yorkers who do really appreciate what you and call you to doing sergeant because of in new york. thank you. thank you. as that is for now and then i sure, sure. thomas will be here to keep you updated on the storage were across here at arte from oscar. mm. i ah, with i'm action return. so you're watching going on the ground on the birthday of the
5:28 pm
father of spin american propaganda pioneer, edward benet's coming up with a show running out of time to save humanity from extinction. we talked to the suicide squad thinker, peter capacity, the legendary environmentalist actor, whose role as malcolm tucker, personified, tony blair's iraq war heiress, spin and arguably war on the cods. again, nearly 30 years after nature destruction of socialist yugoslavia, we speak to the man who implemented the 995 new liberal, dayton agreement that divided bosnians from serbs and croats as one of the poorest countries to want to join the e. u was via faces. another hard winter, all of them all coming up in today's going underground. but 1st, today's the birthday of edward monet's credited with creating modern public relations critics of a bar, a strong and government here overseeing plans for new oil, gas and coal exploration. after cop 26 believe that spin is winning the war of information. and one actor who has experience playing spin doctors is peter capacity, the environmentalist known for roles in the thick of it. linked via armando a,
5:29 pm
a new cheat of vip and succession has also played dr. who am the thinker in the suicide squad? he joins me now from la pita. welcome to going under ground. i don't know whether it is something from the cynicism in some of the or the pieces you being and obviously the of it comes to mind that amongst the comp 26 and great speeches that were heard the coverage of the summit on the environment. there's a little a little known fact about an oil and gas field being explored in shetland that you are concerned about there. yes, i think called 26, you know, and did many remarkable things. but amanda felt it was a bit of a discipline and a little bit of a p r opportunity for an awful lot of governments to say that they were doing the right thing. and i think there's a great danger that just claiming to be on the side of i being aware
5:30 pm
of climate change is not the same as actually, you know, creating general policy that makes a difference. so i think we have to be very careful to keep the pressure up and say, sorry peter, but we had a lot dba on who i think we both know as john gama, from decades ago, who is on the main climate group advising the government, who immediately said this is not an issue, the boards, johnson or the government to get involved in. we have democracy here. that's why a decision over coal in cumbria or the camber oil fields early. we should just wait and see what happens rather than oppose it as differently. and say, the government must do something now about shutting the at the very idea of fossil fuel exploration down amidst the possible climate calamity without presupposes a trusted government. witcher i'm afraid, doesn't really exist. and mamma and i can't see how morris.
