ah, up to $100.00, a fair dead after tornadoes rip across several american states. but the disaster underlined the country's deep rift with some politicians already trying to score points from the tragedy. ah flashes at an antique hope restriction protested germany leave over a dozen offices injured. that's more than just rolled out. so we look at how the homeless in berlin, losing safe places to sleep. the soap in literary classic, 1984 is getting a sequel of sorts. this time from a feminist perspective, we discuss whether it's a timely update or a glimpse into the writing and revising which george orwell warned about. i don't see any reason why any book shouldn't be subject to revisiting well in the smart

world. among the only way to kill a mockingbird which we all right when we were due to ireland. he's now been battle because he's racist because some of the language difficult if we're in connecticut and the sudanese to say they've been betrayed and had their dreams destroyed, we've a special report into the 1000 strong protests gripping the capital since october's code. ah, i was just her mid day here in moscow monday. the 13th of december on calling bray with your world news from archie international. first 4, you have devastating storms have ripped through central and southern parts of the united states. the state of kentucky has suffered the worse damage where the governor initially saying that around a 100 people might have died. president biden has declared a major federal disaster in the state. these are the satellite images from before

and after in the city of may feel more than a 100 people were trapped inside. 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 says, administration is ready to do whatever is needed to help states reeling from the devastation. thing worse. most devastating, most deadly tornado events in kentucky, history through our hometown and everything. everybody involved. walls were shaking, house collapsed in against. you could see where the whole house was buckled, all back, cited it, houses off the total devastation for our town. most of our historic buildings are

now gone. with, [000:00:00;00] with, with this is likely to be one of the largest cornejo operation history. all the deli tornadoes have been wreaking havoc across central and southern us. the disasters highlighted a shot rift between republicans and democrats. with some politicians seemingly trying to take advantage of the tragedy, the care and has more on that. and cya,

towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes, ravaged across thick that us dates the worst affected 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 harvey hit in 2017, the 17 senators who voted against a bill to provide billions of dollars in relief. we're all republicans among them. kentucky's sen, round pole. once again, thousands are suffering, but there's no time like the present for political punches. we should do what we can to help our kentucky neighbors. good. be with them for hurting, but do not for one second focus. that run poll has voted against hope and most

americans, most times bear in need. we know, rand paul is a heartless hypocrite. the people in kentucky deserved the relief regardless of the buffoon, his leadership, much of the dems, dont use this against him and his part 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 deniers and 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 real than shock and concerns over climate change peak. it could also play into the democrats hands as they bid 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 to a plan 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 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 anyone else should care how they voted either germany's anti cope . it measures have sparked unrest in the small east and town of great swear,

protested serv clashed with police. it's already say that 14 officers were injured in the violence. the december, germany announced plans to exclude unvaccinated people from the non essential stalls and places of mass gatherings. daily new cases have been at a record high levels since november, more than double the previous peaks in april. of berlin has imposed strict coven requirements on public transport. it's a move that'll see homeless people who take shelter in the system, lose safe places to sleep unless they're vaccinated, recovered, or test negative. or officials in the german capital insist that the move is essential to find the spread of infections and that can be no exceptions. peter, all of looks next of 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 snow. 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 among. 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 guard, 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, vaccination organizations like the berlin city mission,

which run overnight shelters. point out the problems raised my barring on vaccinated 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 paces 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 all 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 her out 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. 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. now, many homeless people are unable to do that, as 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 up 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 ot berlin,

hamilton re boot of george will wells $984.00 could be in the works after the oath as estate gave the green light to retail. the dystopian classic from a feminist perspective. a plan new adaptation by american office saundra 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 writings sexism is a capitalist feature, not a bug, to remove or confronted and move the rigid black and white politics of the story. i never say this about adaptations, but maybe just write a new story that makes space for nuance. instead of trying to make 1984 feminist, you know what george orwell to stop in 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 1984. my case has been a while since you read it, or a wells iconic masterpiece is considered as a heart indictment of ideological control. it examines a government's unrestrained access to private lives in the rewriting of history, which all well born would lead to the death of truth. every record has been destroyed or falsified. every book re written, every picture has been repainted. every statue and st 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 were due to levels is now been banned because it is racist because some of the language difficult. i think he really is, but you can't banned books because we start banning books. you as bad as the people on the other side who are to 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 have to 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 be read this day, but the original stance. and the date is something to be added i'd suggest is actually not a re, right. is it? it's another book and that's happened. lots and literature recently. so i'm not too worked over at 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 abate. 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 very 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 amongst many righteous, male, righteous a course that is almost simple, impossible to get published if you are a man and particularly what is true and are getting published into so many to look at this in the hall tree to the speech, freedom of thought. can we have freedom of who i want to think can be stimulated and motivated by ideas?

i don't like as well as ideas. i do like that. i thing is war. civilization should be wrong. you ins, envoy to sedans says military leaders must rebuild trust with the opposition, especially the young generation. many say they feel betrayed by october qu, under rejecting any negotiations with the military and artes more gasdio witness. the 1000 strong protests in the capital caught him and talked to people who say their dreams of a better life have been destroyed. i'll leave you now with his special report. 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 begging outside tell. mina is just one of millions and saddam forced to beg to help feed herself and her family in these desperate times

ah, close by is a market full of food. fewer and fewer people can afford markets, often a window into a country. so you can learn much if you can bear to look close to now. ah and saddam sold you seek, wounded in disease by years of strife and disappointment. ah least wasn't what democracy promised. ah, the easiest way to understand what happened. yeah. and so don, these to look at the price of bread. 3 years ago, bread calls, ha,

a sudanese pound. the government hike the price called $12.00 denise pound for a loaf of bread and the people revolted. they bud dodd's 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 2019, was supposed to harold, a new age for saddam a tried z to a democracy, but the democratic age of prosperity that millions hopeful has turned into an age of hunger. i'm not mad. i don't know. there's 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. 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 lie and feather just try saying something against the government. they'll label you and islamists of a former regime, sympathizer, or a military supporter. in reality, 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 abdallah 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 law 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 cut to leave some of the most impoverished and the city, people whom survive 11 meal every 23 days who drink water that is barely fit, the capital one on the front lines of the revolution and who the revolution i'm tightly paused by. prime minister hamilton needed money to bring the people democracy. that money came from western donors, the i m f, the world bank for every penny they demanded economic reforms, which ham dog ran through his civilian government with abandon. this is the off to

mon well ires. i'm with the 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 lingering. we're on our level. my plan is to die here. i have nothing else. these people, thousands of them just here survived by luck and charity and absolute poverty, and with little faith in their rulers and pi 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, hut made of mud on the floor, hard black earth. they had hoped that the revolution would change their lives. instead it left them behind.

and 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 oping on life would change. nothing changed in it so, but the military intervene and what some have called a to it arrest that prime minister ham duncan, his cabinet. the argument was that they were running the into the ground, the transition to democracy needed a correction the man behind the so called to told us that over here with it 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, rep, risings, and calls that could have destroyed the entire country or handled 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 and they now ruled jointly to the displeasure of the revolutionaries. then lash at none of those. here we'll go to these protons. we protested then and we were betrayed. why would we protest again for who, for what? what will change? nothing? we will i t once and life only got glass. we will sit and wait for our deaths here . yet every week, hundreds, sometimes thousands gather across. so don and champ their demands, the freedom food ultimatums. what traditional thursday protests now underway, ties a burning and central idleness as how these protests happen. people gather and group several 1000 several 100. in this case, abs, i'd written 50 people here. burning ties are the major intersection,

or objectivist, of course, this rupture. they're charging now against the military government who they see as being responsible for their scoop. the numbers tell their own story, where during the revolution, millions would march across the dogs. now there are just 1000 if that. but what they lack in public support, they make up who i need and then we're in saw brothers died in the streets to democracy, to give power to the people, 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 by nea translates of civil protests. it is one of their slow good to express their peaceful intent. important, given the context opposition activists say that more than 40 people have died. clashes with authorities over the last few years,

we sent out her hand off 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 was, i'm going to kill old brother. you know, for nothing. they killed anything people want in your re book. we don't like how to do these to religion. okay. so we're right now, i guess how much we don't want amazon. but bear in mind, brutus this haven't always been civil. ah, the demonstrators have attacked people and burn guards and property and attempted to swarm state offices a but here and now things remain calm. the crowd swelled and swelled with the crowd, these she,

the 1000. we had seen many small columns forming in very if they bought before converging here and what they all want. the power to be handed over by the military toys, civilian government, property, they stop. without any acceptance, they bought the military step down. many people he appealed, but trade by prime minister ham dub. you'll find that agreement with the military giving up a lot of civilian, bowed to the military were no clashes, but enthusiasm p. to doubt a week later, barely a few 1000 people came out and police words as lenient. earlier the day brought us as a tribe, the storm government, government offices, and police evidently weren't having any of that is getting a bit uncomfortable here. eyes are beginning to sing, as well as people's throats booth. todd's organizes the quote for a 1000000 people,

a joint demonstration about 4000 showed up at the largest protest. the momentum undoubtedly is gone for now. apathy and disappointment are prevailing, or they are not 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 for us in saddam these words can get you into serious trouble. we filmed the consequences. a couple of nondescript men began harassing the man we spoke to saying anything counter revolutionary is found to attract the resistance committees, as they call themselves, essentially, self appointed. thought police can cause all manner of problems with who hare would dare to speak out. come to cause and nothing for us. 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 why to gain some dob. you'll be arrested or beaten straight away. the resistance committees of 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 us only got us the on. so they have in booklets of we've, we've spoken to people and some support the, the resistance committees, other people say that resistance committees, intimidate bullying, to scare people. would you, would you have to say about that flavor? how can they scale what's horizon? people are just ordinary civilians. they're not related to the military for intelligence agencies. all they do is hell. quit hogan, i zation and dialogue. no matter who we ost,

wells have recourse to them with grave importance. if an escalation happens in sudan, it will affect not only africa, but the entire world because sudan 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 coast and into europe. and so sir darn remains in wretched station. chained in hunger frozen, i grew up in self serve in the leads and held together by a military bed on preventing collapse with join me every posted on the alex simon, she'll but i'll be speaking together in the world of politics. spoke business,

i'm show business. i'll see you then ah ah ah, the obesity epidemic as the most important international health problem, let me talk to plenty of policy to waste code epistle. and then the only thing that
