using science against itself, ah, ah parties headline news up to $100.00, a fear dead off the tornadoes rip across several american states. but the disaster underlines the country's deep rifts. with some politicians already trying to score points from the tragedy. ah, clashes at an anti cope restriction protest in germany leave over a dozen offices injured as more measures are being rolled out. we look at how the homeless in berlin losing safe places to sleep. dystopian literary, classic, 1984 is getting a c called of sorts this time from a feminist perspective. we discuss whether it's a timely update for georgia or wells prediction coming through. and i don't see any reason why any book shouldn't be subject to revisiting well,

and it's not world at the moment, only work to kill a mockingbird which we all right when we would do the olives. he's now been bad because it's racist because some of the language, if he were in the thick of the many sudanese who say they've been betrayed and had their dreams destroyed, we've a special report into the 1000 strong protests gripping the capitals since october's code. ah, there's just 2 and 10 in the morning on monday here in moscow. my name is colleen bry, this is your world news from arte international. before we get onto our headline stories just sort of update you on that story. we brought you about half an hour ago. 7 people have been injured in a blast at a conference in the russian city of sarah call, which is about a 100 kilometers south of moscow. or initial report suggests that the suspect

designated a home made explosive device. he is among the injured the 7 injured in that incident and has been detained now. local media here saying that the suspect is perhaps a former student at a faculty for men at the convent to police investigations on the way into that there are no reports yet. of any fatalities in that block will keep you posted on the developments there. can next devastating storms have ripped through central and southern parts of the united states. the state of kentucky, some of the worst damage with the governor. they're saying around a 100 people have died. the fear of that number could increase his declared a state of emergency. now these are satellite images from before and after. in the city of mayfield, more than a 100 people were trapped inside a collapsed factory building, emergency crews of managed to rescue about 40 so far. destruction was also reported in arkansas, missouri, tennessee, and illinois, where at least 6 people were killed in an amazon warehouse. president biden said

his administration is ready to do whatever is needed to help the states reeling from the devastation. a worst. most devastating, most deadly tornado event in kentucky. history. there's our home town and just noticing everybody's all there was were shaking house collapsing again so you can see where the whole house is buckled. the little back side of that house is on total devastation for our town. most of our historic buildings are now gone with

with this is likely to be one of the largest or new operational history. now while the deadly tornadoes have been wreaking havoc across the central and south and u. s. the disasters highlighted a shop rift between republicans and democrats with some politicians seemingly trying to take advantage of the tragedy the care and has more on that. and hi, towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes, ravaged across 6 us states. the worst effected can saki, and needs help support and relief aid. and so it turns to the government and fellow americans. but politics is 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 hobby hit in 2017, the 17 senate has he voted against the bill to provide billions of dollars in relief. we're all republicans among them. kentucky said it's a round pole. once again, thousands of suffering, but there's 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. much of 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, then you had it coming, vote for climate change,

deny isn't. see what happens. tornadoes in december are red, but weather climate change was a factor is not clear at this point. still is the country reels and shock and concerns of the climate change peak. it could also play into the democrats hands as a bit to 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 when 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 home renovation 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 anti cope. it measures have sparked on rest in the east and german town of great sweat protests as have clashed with police. the authorities se 14 officers were injured in the violence. ah, an early december germany announced plans to exclude unvaccinated people from non essential stalls and places of mass gatherings of daily nucleic cases have been at record high levels since late november. more than double premium peaks in april or

berlin to impose stricter cobra requirements on public transport that will save and homeless people kicked off unless they are vaccinated. recovered ought as negative officials in the german capital insist, the move is essential to fight the spread of infections and that there can be no exceptions. peter oliver looked at how the homeless have a tough time ahead. winter is well and truly upon us here in the german capital. and along with freezing temperatures in smo, this week is also seen new covered 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 and 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 on 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 of 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. so alcohol could accidentally fall into the track that 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 paces to stay during the winter season

that they can use or reach there all those trying to help along with the berlin city mission, the huff brow house bar is being 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 receive vaccines elsewhere. there is andrea, who is 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 transportation escorting old homeless man walking with the walker out of the station ingles. that's really bad right now. the current temperatures around 0 degrees or the worst you can be exposed to as a homeless person, minus 5, or even minus 10 degrees. it's easier to bear god in the past. you could buy a burger for $0.70 and sit at mcdonald's for an hour to warm up with autism. now, many homeless people are unable to do that. as i know, 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 to your

office and 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 being incredible. it's just window dressing. the coven 19 pandemic continues to ravage europe 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 r. t, berlin, and of course she's got the specter of the oma cron cove. it strain that's costing a long shadow over winter hopes for all of us right now. i'll teach paula slayers of into isolates also being diagnosed with that variant later in the program. he tells us, well, it's like a mountain ray boat of george or wells 1984 could be in the works after the authors estate gave the green lights of re tell the dystopian classic from a feminist perspective,

a plan new adaptation by american author, sandra newman, will tell the story from the viewpoint of julia, the love interest of the main character, winston smith. and it's already predicted that the new version of one of the most influential books of the past century will inevitably transfer to the big screen on line though the reactions been a bit different. all will's writing sexism is a capitalist feature, not a bug. to remove a confronted and move the rigid, black and white politics of the story. i never say this about adaptations, but maybe just frightening a story that makes space for nuance. instead of trying to make 19 easy for feminist . you know what george orwell. dystopian classic, 1984 needs a politically correct modern day rewrite from a feminist perspective said no one ever. this looks great, but we need to do something about the concept of the estate of an author has been dead for generations. nobody should need permission to revisit 1994 while other critics of the idea point out the telling

a story from another perspective is exactly what the original warned against. every record has been destroyed are falsified. every book re written, every picture has been repainted. every statue in street building has been renamed . every date has been altered. nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right. we are in the smart world at the moment. all we were to kill a mockingbird, which we all read when we would do to levels is now been banned because it is racist because some of the language difficult. i think he really is, but i think you can't banned books because we start banning books. you as bad as the people on the other side, who as a say, an almost burning them. i don't see any reason why any book shouldn't be subject to revisiting and re questioning a book that was written. i, you know, 2300 years ago. the moment we're just very close towards book burning, you know, if you look at people or j. k. rowling and you look at

a new blight and all these things. you don't after like a book, but you can understand its context and i think that's what we need to get to. they could be really could, could be read this the but the original stance. and the date is something to be added i'd suggest is actually not a rewrite, is it? it's another book and that's happened lots and literature recently. so i'm not to worry about it. i don't think it's necessary. i think 1984 is a brilliant book. i don't think it's necessary and maybe that's because i'm a blog is going to be published by grantor, so he's not going to become about best seller. i doubt, but it's not a rewrite. it's just now say i'm taking this is my inspiration. and this is what the woman might of thought so much oh, literature. and in certainly in the west has been by men for men. that it's perhaps useful to have a different perspective. it might cause a number of us to think, to discuss,

to explore some of the idea tillery near original, mostly shows written by men as a historical site. more. ringback more literature been written by women, now it should a good thing, although there is a feeling among many righteous male watches. of course, that is so much import, impossible to get published. if you are a man and protect it, is true that all game published into so many to look at this in the whole freedom of speech, freedom of thought. can we have freedom? who i want to think and be stimulation to motivate people? i ideas. i don't like, as well as ideas i do like that. i think is wor, civilization should be wrong with the health struggles of julian sonjee back in focus softer. his fiance says he suffered a minor stroke in october. after the break, the un special rapids her on torture tells us about the stress being inflicted by the extradition proceedings.

ah. oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offensive,

very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with . oh my god. next stepping aside, australia says it's not party to julian sanchez extradition case. the reaction of the wicked expound as home country follows calls to pressure the us and britain to set him free in the wake of friday's rolling that he can be extradited. back in london, a sound, his fiance says he suffered a minor stroke during an appeal. hearing an october, leaving him, his science of neurological damage of doctors only a 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. or you and special reports are on torture. told us more about the stroke claims and the sanchez 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 to the near future. i visited him in 2019, just after he'd been arrested by i've heard rhetoric, he's 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, arbitrary i solution. and this is exactly what you 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 backed washington's appeal on friday, the long running legal wrangling over a sound, his extradition isn't over yet. the rest is eager to put a sound on trial, accusing him of conspiring to obtain secret information on u. s. military campaigns in afghanistan and iraq and publishing swathes of material via a wiki leaks revealing war crimes, or his case now reverts to the lower court which block the extradition in january, citing serious health concerns at the time. the u. s. a since given assurances that a sound won't serve any potential sentence in a maximum security prison. the nils 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. but he has from soon what they have done, united states is effectively they have promised not to hold him in a specific one specific prison, which is the super max prison in florence, colorado. but we all know that the united states has dozens of super max prison, so they can keep him in and the others max prison. those guarantees don't guarantee anything. the only cron cove at variance is now in $63.00 countries. it's spreading fastest in south africa and britain where it's on calls to overtake the dominant delta strain. early data from the world health organization shows that it causes mild symptoms and it's not caused any depths as yet. but it's also showing resilience against vaccines in countries over rapidly rolling out boosted jobs right now. but out his policy, i was recently diagnosed with the omicron strain next. she tells us for the

symptoms a really like i'm sharing isolation in johannesburg, south africa after contracting the only con variant of cove it. now in the beginning, i didn't even know i had it. the symptoms are very similar to those of a common flu. so i had a very, very bad headache that lasted about 23 days, a scratchy throat, a sore throat. you're a good kind of just feeling very, very rundown. i don't see anyone except a nurse who comes here each day to check my vitals. i was a condition today, i mean a very it is today. i is it possible but i feel more tired today than i did yesterday . okay. have you noticed the numbers going up in south africa with us on the, on the number they've been climbing so deeply since the discovery? and i don't believe that. so we're going to see more numbers in the coming week

because we have quite a few more people than we have been doing in the us. we now the nurses left with me and oxy myisha that will measure my oxygen levels. and at the same time, as a matter and twice a day, i will be my own doctor and record the information in a walk up that i share with an administrator who keeps contact with everybody who is in isolation. i am in touch with a doctor about 2 or 3 times a day. he has prescribed for me medication that one would take for regular code. most of it is just aimed at boosting my immune system. most of the cases here in south africa are reporting sometimes like the ones i have. and that is encouraging use because they're still a lot less severe than the symptoms that came with early variance of covered. so not kicked out of the woods, but potentially some good news policy or r t, johannesburg, south africa you and envoy to saddam says military leaders must rebuild. most of

the opposition, especially the young generation. many of them say they feel betrayed by october's coo down to rejecting any negotiations with the military osmotic sd of witness the 1000 strong protests in the capital costume and talk to people who say their dreams of a better life have been destroyed. ah, she's cooled mina, like countless others. she's a beggar. she doesn't play with her friends or go to school. she spends her days thinking outside the hotel. mina is just one of millions and saddam forced to beg to help feed herself and her family. in these desperate times and saddam, so a sick, wounded and disease by years of strife and disappointment. this

wasn't what democracy promised. the fall of the dictator, omar al, by sheer in 2019, was supposed to harold, a new age for, for god, a transition to a democracy. but the democrats at age of prosperity that millions hopeful has turned into an age of hunger. i'm not mad, i don't know if there is still hope. to be honest. my only concern now is finding something to eat and so much sleep. hello as everything that's happening, i just don't know. i don't care anymore. i would just try saying something against the government, they'll label you and islamists of a 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 because of roadblocks or protests. after

the revolution, the people put their faith in a man called abdullah ham dock, korea bureaucrats, who promised as prime minister to lead the country to democracy. he won the hearts of millions only to break them in if so, but the military intervene and what some have called a to it arrest that prime minister ham dock. in his cabinet, the argument was that they were running the country into the ground and the transition to democracy needed a correction. handled cabinet 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, and they now ruled jointly to the displeasure of the revolutionaries. then i shall, none of those here will go to these protest. 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 don and chancellor dimansky of freedom, who ultimatums, what traditional thursday protest. i now underway ties a burning and said drop a thought, this is how these protest happen. people gather and group several 1000 several 100 . in this case, caps, i've written 50 people here, burning ties are the major intersection. their objective is to pause this rupture. they're charging now against the military government who they see as being responsible for the scoop, ah, the crowd. these schindler, thousands. we had seen many small columns warming in various neighborhoods before converging here and what they all want for power to be handed over by the military

toys, civilian government, properly this time, without any acceptance, they want the military, the step down many people here field, but free by prime minister handoff find that agreement with the military giving up a lot of civilian bower, to the military the resistance committees of all see a 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 and 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 flavor. how can they scale? what's her eyes? people are just ordinary civilians. they're not related to the military,

poor intelligence agencies. all they do is help quiz hogan i zation and dialogue. no matter who we ost, of people weren't about to speak about the resistance committees on camera. they were fearful like this hard enough 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 dictator's rule ah, here on the outskirts of cut to leave some of the most impoverished and the city people who survive on one meal every 23 days, drink water that is barely fit for capital. while on the front lines of the revolution and who the revolution entirely passed by. and so said dawn remains in wretched stasis, chained in hunger,

frozen by corrupt and self serve in the leads and held together by a military bed, on preventing collapse. ah, let me update you on the explosion that a conference in the moscow regent. 7 people, mostly teenagers, were injured in that blast in the russian city of south africa is about a 100 kilometers south says moscow. a police is saying that the attack was carried out by an 18 year old former student of a school that's located in the conference grounds. the suspect is also one of the 7 injured is currently under arrest and the school has been evacuated. and that's the way it looks for moscow. so far this monday morning. i'm calling bry, i'll be back with your next update in half an hour. say that ah i

ah, i'm actually retired senior watching, going underground 5 years to the day since the un security council adopted resolution to $3.00 to $3.00, reaffirming a strong commitment to the sovereignty independence, territorial integrity and national unity of africa's riches began to country libya coming up in the show, 10 years after nature destruction and declarations of victory in libya after the murder of lead and warmer gadhafi, could his son safe be elected president. this christmas we talked to margaret of his information minister about securing judicial support in the oil.
