ah ah, up to a 100 of fear, dead off the tornadoes to rip through several american states and above the disaster on the lines. the country's deep rift with some politicians already trying to score points from the tragedy. ah flashes at an anti cope it restriction protested germany leave over a dozen offices injured as more measures rolled out. we look at how the homeless in berlin are effected this is not about a legitimate prosecution, but it is about a political persecution. the un special rapids her on torture lashes out at a british court ruling to allow julian sanchez extradition to the united states and races further concerns over the wiki leaks found his health. his fiance reveals he suffered a stroke in prison in october and sedans,

stolen revolution as thousands continue to protest. october's coo, we bring you a special report on the turmoil. ah, hello monday morning at 8 here in moscow. my name is colleen brace starting a new week here on archie international. welcome to the program. first for you, devastating storms have ripped through central and southern parts of the united states. president biden said the tornadoes could be the most disastrous in american history. the state of kentucky has suffered the worst damage, where the governor, they're saying around a 100 people have died. but think that that number could increase. he's declared a state of emergency in the city of mayfield. more than a 100 people were trapped inside a collapse factory building, emergency crews of managed to rescue about 40 so far shelters have been set up with the help of the red cross

with worst most devastating, most deadly tornado events in kentucky history. there's our hometown and just noticing everybody's welfare walls were shaking house collapsed in again, you can see where the whole house is both the backside of that house is off the total devastation for our town. most of our historic buildings are now golf with

this is largely one of the largest from new operation. while the deadly tornadoes have been wreaking havoc across the central and southern us, leaving many dead in inches, the division between pro republican pro democrat states has become even more evident to care and has more on that and higher towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes ravaged across thick us states, the worst affected can, saki needs help support and relief, 8. and so it turns to the governments and fellow americans, but politics, it's politics. and it seems not even a monumental disaster, like this one can bridge america's political divide. and some believe it's a perfect opportunity to show that you reap what you sow. when hurricane harvey's

hit in 2017, the 17 senators who voted against a bill to provide billions of dollars in relief. well, all republicans among them, kentucky's sen, round pole. once again, thousands are suffering, but there is no time like the present for political punches. we should do all we can to help our kentucky neighbors. good be wisdom. they're hurting, but do not for one second. forget that rand pole has voted against help, and most americans, most times bear in need. we know ran paul is a heartless hypocrite. the people in kentucky deserved a relief regardless of their but furnished leadership. but the dance don't use this against him and his party in the future. it is a mr. but unity for some, it's not even off limits to suggest that if you vote read the new, had it coming vote for climate change deniers and see what happens. tornadoes in december, red, but weather climate change was

a factor is not clear at this point. still is the country reels and shock and concerns over climate change peak. it could also play into the democrats hands as they bits. push a $1.00 trillion dollar climate package through the senate. all i know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming of the planet and the climate change. and so it seems something as devastating as this can only wet the appetite for those looking to score political points. there is nothing that a politician ever does or says that surprises me. there is nothing that is above them or below them. i think that they're going to anytime that any bad thing happens, that they think that they can use as a justification to push for more control. they're going to, i don't think it's appropriate. i think it's political posturing for the worst of reason. a disaster is a disaster and it was going to happen regardless. it was going to happen whether or not we had cap and trade or the new green deal or anything else. i think it also

shows the increasing whole reservation and partisanship and division in the us instead of looking at people as human beings, we look at them as red or blue or independent. we look at them as some abstraction instead of what they are human being that in this case are suffering terribly right now. i don't care how they voted, and i don't think any one else should care how they voted. either germany's antique hope it measures have sparked unrest in the city of great swear protest us of clashed with police. the authorities there say that 14 offices were injured in the violence. ah, nearly december germany announced plans to exclude unvaccinated people from non essential stalls in places of mass gatherings. they new cases have been at record high level since late november, more than double previous peaks in april berlin's imposed stricter cobra requirements on public transport. that will see even homeless people kicked off

unless they are vaccinated, recovered, or test negative officials in the german capital insist that the move is essential to find the spread of infections and that there can be no exceptions. but peter oliver looks next. how hopeless they're facing a tough winter winter is well and truly upon us fear in the german capital. and along with freezing temperatures in smo, this week is also seen new covert rules come into force among men, a stipulation that you must be able to prove that you've either been vaccinated, recovered from covert, or that you've got a valid negative test. if you want to ride public transport in berlin or even go to the station and that is caused problems for the cities homeless and i'm on fung. i'm glad i was attacked, especially at the beginning. people called me names saying get out of my way. i could theoretically stay in the match of stations because i have my vaccination card, but i don't have a digital one because the doctor forgot to put a stamp out of his signature when he vaccinated me. the city of berlin recognized

that this is far from ideal, but say they have to take measures to stop the spread of the virus. we have a pandemic and we have to protect people from infection and contagion, therefore, inspectors reject all those people who do not comply with the 3 g vaccinated recovered or tested rule. we know how problematic the situation is for homeless people. so we do everything we can to give homeless people. a vaccination organizations like the berlin city mission, which run overnight shelters. point out the problems raised my barring unvaccinated homeless people because they're in a sanitary facilities. and people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol could accidentally fall into the track. bad platforms are not ideal. pace is to stay for homeless people. nevertheless, for many who are particularly badly off and who have lost contact with the outside world. there are hardly any other protected places to stay during the winter season that they can use or reach there are those trying to help along with the berlin

city mission, the huff brow house bar has been drafted in for use as a day shelter over the winter months here, homeless people will be able to get out of the cold, but also get tests done. and recei vaccines elsewhere. there is andrea, who, a key used to live on the berlin streets. he now works to help the homeless auto it along with of having the scene of just this morning. i saw security, guarded, a train station escort, an old homeless man walking with a walk around of the station. that's really bad right now. the current temperatures around 0 degrees are the worst you can be exposed to as a homeless person, minus 5 or even minus 10 degrees is easier to bear. in the past, you could buy a burger for $0.70 instead of me. dollars for an hour to warm up. now many homeless people are unable to do that. we do have opportunities for the homeless to get vaccinated, and we do have testing opportunities for with the digital vaccination card. it is very difficult. mobile phones are stolen or it's difficult to charge a mobile phone on the street. so the possibility of getting warm is once again

closed off berlin. senate says that opportunities are being offered, but they're not as good as they're said to be. it's just window dressing. the coven 19 pandemic continues to ravage year of this winter, and the virus most no social class, while f it's all being made to help the most vulnerable in society. that continue to be those that fall through the cracks. peter, all of her, all tea bill in australia says it's not party to julian sanchez extradition case. the reaction of the wiki league found as hope country follows. pressure calls to pressure the us and britain to set him free. in the wake of friday's ruling that he can be extradited, got back in london, a sound. his fiance says he suffered a mini stroke during an appeal hearing in october, leaving him a science of neurological damage. of doctors earlier highlighted his mental health issues, including depression and memory loss, and his poor overall condition. and in january, a caught acknowledged a high risk of suicide. a u. n. a special ruffled sir on torture,

told us more about the stroke claims and the sound is brought to health problems. he seems to have recovered from it for now and to receive anti stroke medication. but we know obviously that this is a typical sign of his health deteriorating. and these minor strokes it indicates that there is a risk that a full stroke might occur at some point in the near future. i visited him in 2019 just after had been arrested by by the bridget authorities together with 2 experienced medical experts. and they came to the conclusion independently from each other that his health i was going to deteriorate rapidly to the point of endangering his life if he was not rapidly relieved of the constant pressure off, you know, persecution, arbitrator miss i solution. and this is exactly what we see playing out now. it was absolutely predictable and avoidable because we have officially warned the british

authorities that this was going to happen. although the high court backs washington to pale on friday, the long running legal wrangling over sand. his expedition is not over yet. the u. s. is eager to put a sans on trial accusing him of conspiring to obtain secret information of u. s. military campaigns in afghanistan and iraq and publishing swathes of material via a wiki leaks revealing war crimes. while his case now reverts to the lower court which block the extradition in january citing serious health concerns. the u. s. has since given assurances that a sound won't serve any potential sentence in a maximum security prison, but nails meltzer questions whether that can be trusted. this extremely disappointing to half this decision, especially coming on the international human rights stay by and large firms, the observations and official conclusions of my investigation of this case that this is not about a legitimate prosecution, but it is about a political persecution. the actual question is, why is julian assange in prison in the 1st place,

given that all he has done is really, you know, exercise his rights as a journalist to publish information that he has received. what they have done the united states effectively. they have promised not to hold him in a specific one specific prison, which is the super max prison in march. if you can bear to look close enough. mm. and saddam sold a sick wound in disease by years of strife and disappointment. ah, this wasn't what democracy promised. easiest way to understand what happened. yeah. and so don, these to look at the price of bread. 3 years ago, bread costs, huff, a sudanese pound. the government hike the price called one to denise pound for

a loaf of bread and the people revolted. they blood ties, and they deposed. i believe that her ruled the country for 30 years and the 2 years since that revolution for democracy, the price of bread has gone up to $50.00 sudanese pounds, which is much more than ordinary people can afford the full of the dictator. omar, i'll buy shit in 2009 gene was supposed to harold, a new age for, for god, a transition to democracy. but the democratic age of prosperity that millions hopeful has turned into an age of hunger. oh, my lad. i don't know if they're still hopeful, to be honest. my only concern now is finding something to eat and so much sleep. hello as to everything that's happening, i just don't know. i don't care anymore. it is startling just how quickly and

how low people spirits have fallen. any optimism that their boards has been bulldozed by unimaginable inflation into thousands of percent. and there's no one to complain to a just try saying something against the government. they'll label you an islamist or former rating sympathizer, or a military supporter. in reality, what all we want is to tell the government the we're hungry that we have huge problems. people can't even go to school, be because of roadblocks or protests. after the revolution, the people put their faith in a man called abdullah ham doc, a korea bureaucrats who promised as prime minister to lead the country to democracy . he won the hearts of millions only to break the lease much out of it. i, i, it's awful. it's difficult just thinking about it, but you have no idea what's happening in the provinces. things are even worse than

it took all of a 15 minute drive to witness the sort of poverty. many people only read about ah, here on the outskirts of costume, leave some of the most impoverished and the city people who survive 11 meal every 23 days who drink water that is barely fit for capitol hill on the front lines of the revolution and who the revolution entirely passed by prime minister handling needed money and bring the people democracy. that money came from western donors, the i m f, the world bank for every penny they demanded economic reforms with ham dock graham through his civilian government with abandoned. this is the aftermath. ah, well,

ours are one. we do not live. we exist that someone might drop by and give us something to eat or drink. if not, we go to sleep wondering whether or not love my plan is to die here. i have nothing else. these people, thousands of them just here survived by luck and charity in absolute poverty and with little faith in their rulers and pike ministers, tyranny or freedom for them. abstract concepts. what good a either. if they are starving, they have lived in these conditions for decades. molds made of cloth and sticks huts made of mud on the floor, hard packed earth. they had hoped that the revolution would change their lives instead, it left them behind. i wouldn't let

me um if we are only 3 kilometers away from the presidential palace, then there's nothing here. no power then you know water, you know, services. we have nothing to eat or drink and we wash in puddles for lack of water bottle to whom 50? yes, the o. m. if thomas does help and reforms, where is it? all of those who sit in polish hotels and drive around in toyotas though. look at them. people don't have a single sudanese. wow. i'm going to people from all walks of life, leap here. once teachers, once economists even educated i t specialists, fluent in english. all of whom have law, stupid, but neither have they found the future. we have to be marble, helpful for tomatoes, for everyday life. well, your, your english is very good. you love now. i am that way. people, any of the hands of need any university for quality of the science on information technology. and even i have a study in

e l. d in institute. but and why don't you work? because i didn't fall into like these people just for work. they waste away in my thoughts while political paralysis deprived them of a life that they could have had the world. i had been i and everyone here was personally involved in the revolution. we raised protests and ty is blocked, roads to get rid of the former regime, which ignored are suffering asked of ation and we did it. we installed a new government, put them into power, hoping on life would change. nothing changed and it's still, but the military intervene and what some have called a to it arrested prime minister ham dock. and his cabinet. the argument was that they were running the country into the ground and the transition to democracy needed a correct should. the man behind the so called to told us little the here repeat

was urgent because the situation in the country was developing an unpredictable way towards an unknown conclusion. political factions went deeply divided racist overtones, of course were uprisings and calls could have destroyed the entire country. ham gulps cabinets of ministers included, many with foreign citizenship. allegations of corruption were rife, ministers were accused of enriching themselves while spouting platitudes about democracy. the prime minister has since struck a deal with the military. they now ruled jointly to the displeasure of the revolutionary lash at night. if those had won't go to these protests, we protested then and we were betrayed. why would we protest again for him, for what? what will change? nothing? we will lie to once and life only got where we will sit and wait for our deaths here. yet every week. 100, sometimes thousands. gather across to dawn and chancellor demands the freedom. food

ultimatums. what traditional thursday, protest. i now underway ties a burning and said drop. i thought this is how these protest happen. people gather and group several 1000 several 100. in this case, i've written 50 people here. burning ties are the major intersection of their objective is to pause this rupture. they're charging now against the military government who they see as being responsible for the scoop. the numbers tell their own story where during the revolution, millions would march across sedans. now there are just 1000 if that but what they lack in public support, they make up a lead time that we're in the streets. our brothers died in the streets, the democracy to give power to the people that we are not against the military. but we don't want them in the government, they don't need to correct the revelation,

we'll do that ourselves. oh. 6 another column of protestants have now joined the demonstration, no more tires for the burning. there are now over a 1000 people in this vast column that is in the middle of the city. there is no police presence yet there be no clashes. well, some people are fearful that indeed this demonstration like oh that. c will end in class in the near translates of civil protests. it is one of their slow good to express their peaceful intent. important, given the context opposition active is see that more than 40 people have died. clashes with authorities over the last few years. we found out for him to go from the beginning, but after that, he did so again, we don't want it. you know, we don't want to be like friends with our military up there. they kill old brother, you know, for nothing. they killed anything. people in your re book,

we don't like come back to the vision, religion. okay, so we're right now, i guess i don't, we don't want time with them. but bear in mind, brutus this haven't always been civil. a demonstrated said the tax people and bud garzon property and attempted to swarm state offices. i am but here and now things remained calm. as the crowd swelled and swelled a crowd, these she the 1000 we had seen many small columns, swarming and various. are they both before converging here and what they all want for power to be handed over by the military toys, civilian goblet property,

they stop without any acceptance. they bought the military step that many people here field, but trade by private is the ham dog. they will find that agreement with the military, giving up a lot of civilian bower to the minute trip, or we would never stop by until they listen. people have no vision. people are still waiting and waiting and waiting for their freedom. that's why you have to, i noticed that the people are divided, but you can also see the center. so in every point of the revolution, you will find people feel like no, i'm not gonna, not anymore. but i think this is in the finance or you can see the energy that's around here and people are not going to stop. there were no clashes with enthusiasm p to doubt a week later, barely a few 1000 people came out and police weren't as lenient. earlier at the day protests as a tried to show on the government government offices and police evidently weren't

having any of that. this getting a bit uncomfortable here. eyes are beginning to staying as well as people's throats . but police are again forcing people back, asking them to disperse. people here nevertheless, are, are still agra. they still believe the revolution has been stolen from a every brutus. there are those who spoil it. in this case, adolescents just the loan for the ride, and the adrenalin peace was no exception. a little fun for the discerning thrill seeker, i don't know, but on a side of an off that we're in the streets because no one rule, those because no one can rule rule. so after we have to go, it's a, it's getting that it's becoming unbearable booth, dodd's organizes the quote for a 1000000 people joined demonstrations about 4000 showed up at the largest protest

. the momentum undoubtedly is gone for now. apathy and disappointment are prevailing on it. a democracy, we don't need democracy, we need to aid to sleep and to send our children to school democracy. look at syria, iraq or yemen. just leave us alone. that's enough democracy. in sir don. these words can get you into serious trouble. we film the consequences, a couple of nondescript men began harassing the man we spoke to saying anything counter revolutionary is found to attract the resistance committee. as they call themselves, essentially, self appointed food, police can cause all manner of problems. many who hare would dare to speak out come to cuz then nothing. frost. but he just tried to say something against him. he'll get hit by a rock shot with his so what freedoms? there are no freedoms. go out there and tell them you want to eat or say

a white against hemmed up. you'll be arrested or beaten straight away. the resistance committees, a volunteer groups across many neighborhoods which nominally help organized protests and run civilian life. in practice, they increasingly hassle businesses or denied people water will cooking gas if they so want asking them about it only got us the on, so they have in their booklets. so we've, we've spoken to people on some support, the, the resistance committees, other people say that resistance committees intimidate bullying, scare people. but you would, you have to say about that labor, how can they scale what's horizon? people are just ordinary civilians. they're not related to the military, poor intelligence agencies. all they do is help with hogan eyes ation and dialogue . no matter who we are. people weren't about to speak about the resistance committees on camera. they were fearful, like this hard enough,

only anonymously that they speak with their voices changed all your them all from the resistance committees were formed to how people go to distribute food and poll neighbourhood. but some of these committee members realize they could profit for was people who don't fear them because of what they did at ease, tragically ironic democracy activists have morphed into what they so hated ham dogs, army some pulled themselves twisted version of the secret police. but once enforced a dictate his rule ah, but stability and so dawn is paramount. it is the crossroads of africa and there is a belief in so darn and abroad that the state cannot be allowed to collapse well should recourse to them with grave importance. if an escalation happens, incident, it will affect not only africa, but the entire world because sedan is

a corridor for illegal immigration and trans national crimes, law collapse would be unthinkable. millions of migrants unfathomable amounts of drugs and guns would stream north towards the mediterranean, coasted into europe. and so sir darn remains in wretched station. chained in hunger, frozen by corrupted, self serve in elite and held together by a military bed on preventing collapse.
