murder of london has declared a major incident with hospitals running out of capacity in while the government's ramping up its restrictions, sparking a furious response on the streets of the capital. the thousands of people lost in the capital throughout the afternoon amid a heavy police present. a voice to outrage. i've reported plans for monetary vaccines is what is the new system under the rules? i don't think i have to show it immunity, pastor and, and like clubs, sports, and youth and other large event. well, it's assuming a picture playing out across europe. i was a spread of the mac form very, and accelerates the from. and it's that has just announced the country will go into christmas lockdown show and he's considering it's next that he's be run reports from button for the 4th wave. old cove at 19 certainly isn't over. and while we're still dealing with the new german health minister, call allowed to buy has been,
2:03 pm
will pay, think it pretty bleak picture about the immediate future. he was looking at the number of infections of the ohm icon very into the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive wave of the virus on its way. brushed the, i'm assuming there will be a musty 5th wave. i mean, close concert with my colleagues from the u. k. both politically and scientifically . we were still coordinating just yesterday, my colleagues say that what has been observed on the ground exceeds anything that has been observed in the entire pandemic. we have to prepare ourselves to a challenge that we have not faced yet in this form. while infection numbers have been dropping gradually in recent days and weeks here in germany, it isn't happening fast enough. according to the country, public health authority, the robert coffee institutes, in order to release the burden from intensive care beds and the availability of those intensive care beds, not just in germany, where there are problems on the horizons. a new action being taken in switzerland.
2:04 pm
they've brought the new measures which are designed in order to well get more people to get vaccinated. basically if you haven't been vaccinated or can't prove that, you have recovered from covered it. within the last 6 months, you're going to be pretty much bod, from, from everywhere. in switzerland, from here on out, what we're seeing is you're going to need to provide the proof of one of those 2 things to get into sports stadiums. cultural events, and leisure facilities, also restaurants as well. it comes after the intensive care unit bed space, l. the capacity for that bed space in switzerland past 82 percent this week. so the country deciding to take a merge and see measures they're in denmark. they've also implemented new measures . they are going to be closing theaters and cinema's because of her eyes of covert cases. there in front they've done is they've basically cut off all non essential travel between france and the united kingdom because of the,
2:05 pm
the sheer number of cases, tens and tens of thousands, huge amounts of covert cases being recorded in the united kingdom from deciding they want a few people as possible traveling between the 2 countries. it's also prompted action and a new level member states and their leaders saying that they wanted to see more vaccines that are specifically tailored to taco, the oma cron variance of cove at 19. in fact, the orders are all ready to go in for a 180000000 doses of coven vaccines that would target specifically the, the omicron very intuitive world, the subject of vaccines. there's been a massive push here in germany to get people to come forward for booster jobs. in fact, 1500000 people were vaccinated here in germany on wednesday alone, 1300000 of those were booster vaccines. but the problem is, there's not enough vaccines here in germany right now in order to keep up that type
2:06 pm
of pace and it's not the type of pace that the, the new health minister wants to see happening. so what germany is looking to do is to buy vaccines that are being used in countries like poland, bulgaria, and romania vaccines that may well see this, that used by dates expire in the near future, germany say, and they'll take them off their hands in order to try and get enough jobs in the facilities and all that to put them into people's homes. we spoke earlier with the w h. i representative for margaret harris. she told us to call and strain makes vaccinations more important than ever. the really big difference between alma klein and the other variance is it's the aid of spread. we are very concerned that there will be a lot of people who become severely ill and end up in hospital people who had previously been infected with other forms of the of the size going to be to virus were re infected with. so we can see that i'm run can infect
2:07 pm
people, whether or not they have had a previous infection, and it can infect people who have been vaccinated. but the critical thing is, we are also saying that people who've been vaccinated are being protected from having the severe form from di, ending this pandemic is in all our hands at every level of society, every country, if we all do all the things we need to do we can in this pandemic? so what am i talking about? we only to get vaccinated, we only to help people around the world get vaccinated. we all need to take seriously the measures to prevent the violins from spreading a person to person until we vaccinate promptly around the world. we are making it possible for new versions to new variance to arise. u.

k. supreme court has ruled it was illegal for police to drop a proven to alleged torture committed by a british soldiers in northern ireland in the seventy's. okay, so late for the troubles when hundreds of suspected ira members were detained, often without charge. 14 of those arrested was rejected to brutal interrogation techniques. these will be recognized as illegal francis mcguigan, one of those fall train told us what he went through. i was booted forced to stand against a wall finger tips and tip trolls. small mom back pushed them to my body was actually old. with this constant weight noise, the command took over bran. weaver denied chile. we also were denied jewish. a toilet they took were moved my own closure in a boiler suit. the boiler shirt was may day, close my nice clothes and my toilet for 7 days. and that
2:09 pm
just went on and we are forced to stand against the wall to your fingertips and that in the stress position, the body, you only stand too much and you would collapse what state you would just be taken back up up against the wall. and that, that was constant for the shopping dads. i finished up with the broken ribs. i still have nightmares. i told her many different psychiatrists i've spoken to on the majority and tell me i been software not long that they don't say liber go away unless you can. i'll plan to use limitations that will block prosecutions into alleged crimes related to northern on. and there are many members of the arm service if you continue to face the letter. i will finally, mister speaker, bringing forward a solution to the problem to enable the problem to vote. not to do
2:10 pm
a line under the trauma to enable the people of northern ireland to move forward with the council of europe's commission. if a human rights wrote a letter saying that k was in line justice. however, the european court for human rights ruled back in 978, that the 14 men's case did not amount to torture. well, that decision was slated youth by the bush administration to justify and haunts interrogation techniques, use the background on guantanamo the e. c. sharp rejected a 2018, been to overturn its ruling. frances, we're going to again says the t and others won't stop fighting to get justice an apology. the british government means nothing to me. i think the word and it's more than i acknowledge the fact that what the us the families, what happened and when ton them all black shapes, there's no investigation. so nobody was ever brought to have for part of the night on his way of certainly don't the leg,
2:11 pm
he's closer all done on this thing. a bike protect and soldiers nests per sadly, or old soldiers been dragged through the course. i personally don't believe, but it's anything whatsoever to do with soldiers. we want every kiss in court. we've never lost a cheerful court and we're no farther forward today than our bellies. policy just solid delay it stolen delay it stolen delay or push it back. push it back, push it back, maybe along forget it. but let me go away. we a going away. so we're not stuff and we're never going to stop on our children and our grandchildren faces. so i was on the lower horseman say they're overwhelmed. hundreds of illegal lager and crossing the border ward and you my each day at the county man imposed a state of emergency to secure additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people. a local sheriff of describe the situation as chaos, caleb and explains how it's got to this point. arizona mexico border is buzzing
2:12 pm
with activity 3000 migrant crossed just this weekend and the local sheriff says they are in a hurry. there were a lot of people who were planning to come here, but because of the law they decided to call me as soon as possible. and now the biden administration recently reinstated the trump administration policy of having asylum seekers remain in mexico waiting in mexico while their claims are considered . now the sheriff thinks that the administration's actions are fueling, the crisis, told this administration if they decided to do in m p b, it was going to cause these problems and obviously the ancillary impacts in the upper in our backyard. so we end up with the desk in the desert of the robberies that are happening along the order of pursuits. then li, ancillary criminal activity, like the large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country. from mexico all are occurring in every order county along the southwest border. now the
2:13 pm
local mayor has declared a state of emergency. he's calling on federal officials for help. a 110 agents from the department of homeland security have already been re committed. however, local officials are slamming biden for not doing enough. yuma is facing an escalating humanitarian and bought a crisis. and it's a direct result of the biden administration's poor communication, lack of organization and complete disregard for border protection. but arizona is not alone. florida is also dealing with the migration wave. so the border is obviously a disaster. well, actually the by the administration puts people on planes and flies them in the florida in the wee hours of the morning. so they've done over 70 flights. in the last 6 months out. com, la harris, who is vice president and the recently named border czar by joe biden, doesn't seem to really be on the case. the guatemalan head of state says he hasn't
2:14 pm
heard from her since june, despite whitehouse reassurances. why is it that she has not spoken to the president of guatemala since you 6 months? i knew that i could see this kind of strange report from the president of guatemala, saying that he has had no contact with the white house, which is inaccurate. other than you're meeting with harris in june, this is the only one. this is the only communication you've had with the biden administration concerning a legal immigration. yet pamela harris is currently touting her program with private companies to bring foreign investment to central america and stop the migrant flow. but how much a trickle of funds from pepsi, cargill and mastercard will actually do? jane's unclear. meanwhile, 50000 juvenile seeking asylum had disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by reco with the previous month stay to dump truck received, we find that requisite disappear without explanation truck is repeatedly reached
2:15 pm
out to the agency executive office of immigration review. the d o j agency, the overseas us immigration cases, but has not received any satisfactory explanation. a number of these asylum cases continues to disappear each month. researchers say the u. s. department of justice is making it more difficult to track a juvenile migrant cases. providing information that is not useful or precise, but one sheriff will not keep silent. they've already got what over $147000.00 juveniles, their own a company. and they, they need to change their messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to give individuals money because they were separated at the border, that's just a draw for the cartels and for the criminal wilma to exploit. so now that's why we see a number of juveniles come across 1st and then the parents come late, which as they know that bill it will be reunited. so it's all play on
2:16 pm
the rules of diss and ministration was put into place. the migrant crisis has hung over the biden administration from the beginning. many wonder if there are any real solutions in the works, not just reassuring words. caleb martin r t new york. still to come, electricity costs saw in year of all to france, shut down for nuclear reactors, while russia looks east off to being snob over the e u by a over energy. and that story off to a short break. ah, join me every thursday on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me
2:17 pm
back salazar's financial survival. god housing bubble. oh, you mean as a downside, artificial mortgage? i don't get carried away. what kind of report ah ah ah,
2:18 pm
we'll come back. i'll brand new german says the shine, lottie. d e has been accused of not having the necessary documentation to broadcast in germany. altima as well as respondents saying it's license was obtained in accordance with old european laws and regulations. well, let's take a look at some context. say if a new channel was taken off, he sued the very day. it was lost on thursday. a technically, there is no connection between bats and the german t v broadcast dispute. but as you can see, it's been a rocky thought for on tv. unofficial, for the european media watchdog had some moment to swerve with a new show that the license must be issued in germany, and the application must also be filed here. first of all, this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it. see, call the r t t essentially a peskin in little nuisance. that is going to be taken care of. so that is some are interesting language there right off the bat. but the, the crux of the to is that in his view,
2:19 pm
we have no business broadcasting in germany. he is claiming incorrectly that our t d news channel is actually based in berlin. when in fact, it is based in moscow, quite literally down the hall from, from the studio. and the news programs are coming out here being filmed here, edited put on the air and so forth. and they are, they are doing that via a license through and other countries and serbia through another european life and are in full right to broadcast across all of europe, including in germany. our license was obtained under what is known as the european convention on transfer on tier trans frontier television. which under that convention gives us the right to broadcast to $33.00 countries across europe.
2:20 pm
as long as you know, broadcast from moscow. and those countries include germany, but they also include other countries with majority or significant german language populations, such as austria, switzerland, luxembourg, and so forth. this is where the separation is really important. the legal action is being launched against our tv production, which makes some, you know, make some of the shows our tv productions does not need a license, because our tv production is not a channel. it channel is our tv that is coming out of here. and the moscow, our headquarters, our parent company applied for applied for, for the license in serbia, the amount of pressure that our new german channels has faced even before it went on the air. difficulties with banks difficulties, not just this licensing, but you know, the pressure on, on our guest and so forth has been really unprecedented pressure again, as you've mentioned, the beginning on our digital platforms,
2:21 pm
we are ready to keep keep fighting. we spoke with john less than filmmaker johns, while strong he thinks the european regulators need to tread carefully when threatening to shut down news out, be repealed regulators. they need to understand that as a consequence, if you start to forbidding channels such as are the from being able to air in european union, it also means that you must forbid american imperial propaganda. india to be in union as well. your be in stations be that b, b, c, or corporations functioning outside of the you. they will all be regulated and you will start the fracturing the global market of ideas and opinions when we speak about these, these particular questions, we shouldn't forget that probably the most important and the most famous western journalist is currently in prison. and i stopped speaking by junior, on the psalms,
2:22 pm
and this is something that i think is perhaps one of the main reasons why our, our team has been closed down right now in parts of europe. and that is, that rti actually is one of the few stations that lives the applied for western journalists and how they are being silenced. and in effect, tortured by the european bureaucratic system. europe is facing problems with sending g costs, including soaring electricity bills, which shut up even further this week. after francis biggest power provide shut down full of its nuclear reactors. f says it's down to technical falls. earlier we'll receive discuss the situation with correspondence. ask your total while europe's energy crisis might be a hot topic besides me, it does look like it's going to be a cold winter on the continent. because while gas prices have spike, the gas itself is running low and i'm talking dangerously record lows. in fact,
2:23 pm
your pink gas stored supplies haven't been this spot in a decade, on average across the blog. 3074 percent full, that's down to 94 percent last year. and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest pulse of winter is still ahead, the relatively low gas reserves should be used carefully. if we keep withdrawing gas at the current rate, the level will be very low by february. so no buffer, no real resolved, that anyone can sort of depend to and these really tight times and things do seem to be going from bad to worse, because state owned an extra step to france or e t f announced it, it will be shutting down 2 bits, nucular, reactive because of safety reasons. some pipes are part and you need repairing on top of that and not the to have pools, walk pending inspections. this is bad news, of course not just the fronts he's electricity is most kate and you can generate to this, not just bad news for the nations of exports to, for example, the u. k. but it's also very nerve wracking for the mall kits which have already been on a total roller coaster ride over the last couple of months. but of course,
2:24 pm
who has taken the biggest head of all people. i mean, i was absolutely shock to read that europeans were pay 900 percent more. the natural gas in january 2022 than they did in january 2021. so i really think looking at this picture now, it's not an exaggeration say, it's a pretty di situation. a lot of this russian gas that goes into europe. it hasn't, they didn't fill up their coffers during last summer. so they were, as you were saying that the gas levels were low, prices have gone up, but russia is the one who's apparently taken the blame and, and certainly the u. k. media and the tabloids and the european media. they've been having russia for these high prices. it is a big supplier of gus to europe. and how is moscow reacting to all of this? while you are right around 30 percent of europe? natural gas, it comes from russia. so you'd think that and given how desperate the situation is that brussels would know what side its bread is buttered on. but what does the you do? having failed to come to an agreement on how to handle and move forward. and this ongoing crisis, an hours long summit,
2:25 pm
it basically turns round and accuses moscow of using gas as a political weapon. so of course, we know it's always good to have someone else to blame. the thing is, is russia is fulfilling its contracts. and the problem is, is it is unwilling to time to tap on to overflow. market says look, we've got our own lo, shortages on top of that semester demand at the moment is incredibly high because you and i very well know the when to hear it is very cold. we really can't give you any more. so let's go is looking how the situation unfolds. nichols are thinking generally about how from fee brussels and seen to russia in recent times. in the think, you know what, it wouldn't be a bad time to diversify on market and to look to cooperate with perhaps move from the nations. so to that end, a new pipeline is actually on the called you. but i mean, in practical terms, it's a project for gas pipeline from russia to china via mongolia. the work is progressing successfully. it could become a continuation of the russian power of siberia to pipeline michigan. the optimal
2:26 pm
route and length of already been determined, a feasibility study is being prepared and i think it will be ready in the coming weeks. so construction not could thought as early as 2024. in the meantime, what's happening? europe crisis lessening the global markets of bracing itself. meanwhile, no stream to pipeline which is ready to go and could significantly, of course, alleviate to use energy crisis is lying idle, mired in political games. and of course, who's paying the highest price? quite the tree, in this case, european systems analyst and economists. folk a helmet, says russia shift to the east mike sent this energy priced crisis may prevail longer if we make geo politics. an issue of these energy seems we are living in europe together with russia, and i think it is high time to return to serious diplomatic approaches rather
2:27 pm
than have a mega phone diplomacy, which rather feeds escalation. i think there has been a shift of interest given the fact that the euro asian area is growing fast. and that the interest over there in net gas and fossil fuels from russia has increased. and thus, if europe doesn't play a long, and i think, i think the likelihood of russia turning more and more towards the east is extremely high. and it would put a risk on energy safer. t, n m, the root your can union, bucking fort at least 3 people have died, offer a section of a bridge collapsed in china's who by province in this video shot from inside a car, you can see the structure lying on its side over an express way at least for the people were injured in the car and the collapse which happened just
