a massive fit wave. i mean close concept 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 for 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 cock institute, 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. they've brought in 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 over it. 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

5:07 pm
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 with shared representative margaret harris. she thinks the only constraint makes machinations 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. we're re infected with only front so we can see that i'm run can infect 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 ah, being protected from having the severe form from dying ending this pandemic is in
5:08 pm
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 virus from spreading her person to person until we vaccinate promptly around the world. we are making it possible for new versions to new variance to arise that you guys supreme court has ruled. it was illegal for police to drop a probe into alleged torture committed by british soldiers in northern ireland and 971. the case relates to the troubles when hundreds of suspected oil ramen was, were detained, often without charge. 14 of those arrested was subjected to brutal interrogation techniques. these were later recognized as a legal process. mcguigan,

5:11 pm
that decision was later youth by the bush administration to justify and hard interrogation techniques. use the background on guantanamo the shot, rejects out of 2018 bid to overturn its ruling process. look, we're going again says that he and others won't stop fighting to get justice and apollo gave them the british government means nothing to me. i think the word and it's more than i acknowledge the fact that what happened the us. the sam was what happened and when turn them all black shape, there's no investigation. so nobody was ever brought the he for the bar last night on his way of certainly don't the lag, his clothes are all done on this thing. a bike protect and soldiers nests. per, sadly, or old soldiers being dragged through the cords. i personally don't believe, but as anything whatsoever. do the soldiers we want every kiss in court. we've never lost a court and we're no farther forward today than we are. billy's policy just
5:12 pm
stalling and stalling, delay at stolid delay or push it back. push it back, push it back. maybe along forget it. but let me go away. we ain't going away. so we're not stuff and we're never going to stop on our children, grandchildren faces. so i was on a long foresman say they're overwhelmed as hundreds of illegal migrants are crossing the border wall and human each state county, mariposa state of emergency. it is a que additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people. local sheriff describe the situation as chaos element explains how it's got to this point. arizona mexico border is buzzing with activity. 3000 migrants 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 new law they decided to come as soon as possible. now the
5:13 pm
lightening ministration recently reinstated the trump administration's 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. we told us in restrictions, if they decided to in phoebe, it was going to cause these problems and obviously the ancillary impacts in the upper in our back. so we end up with the death in the desert of the robberies that are happening along the border. the pursuit then lea ancillary criminal activity like large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country. from mexico, all are occurring in every order county along the southwestern board. now the 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
5:14 pm
escalating humanitarian and bode a crisis, and it's a direct result of the biden administration's pull 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 bite administration puts people on planes and flies them into florida in the wee hours of the morning. so they've done over 70 flights. in the last 6 months out. com ala harris was vice president and the recently named border czar by joe biden, doesn't seem to really be on the case. the guam and head of state says he hasn't 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,
5:15 pm
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, remains on clear. meanwhile, 50000 juvenile seeking asylum had disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case reco by reco with the previous month stay to dump truck received, we find that requisite disappear without explanation truck has repeatedly reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review. the d o j agency, the overseas u. s. immigration cases, but has not received any satisfactory explanation. a number of these asylum cases continued to disappear each month. researchers say the u. s. department of justice is making it more difficult to track a juvenile migrant cases,
5:16 pm
providing information that is not useful or precise, but one sheriff will not keep silent. they've already got what over 147000 juveniles their own a company own that they need to change their messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to do individuals money because they were separated at the boulder, less just to draw for the cartels and for the criminal wilma to exploit. so now that's why we see a member juveniles come across 1st. and then the parents come late, which as they know the bill, it will be reunited. and so it's all play on the rules that this administration has 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. kaleb mop and r t new york. still to come
5:17 pm
mornings of higher energy bills for new york city set to buy and natural gas and new buildings. an increase from price electricity story and more often to break ah, ah, my view more broadly as the genocide has taken place, far more than anyone acknowledges. it takes place frequently. it has taken place in virtually every country in the world. so why does it come to be hauled and well there's political will medical mobilization, if you remember, wanda, nobody initially wanted him or may new agenda. i was saying nobody wanted to call it that. eventually that label came to dig placement, not at the time when they weren't holding up. politicize ation is, if you say it's genocide suggests that you need to do something
5:18 pm
the join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then. me ah, ah, i'll come back across the atlantic in new york politicians ramping up electricity usage by building farewell to gas. the city council voted to eradicate the use of natural gas in new buildings to combat climate change. legislation is still nice to be signed by may i build the blasio but of course well with his green new deal plan
5:19 pm
. when everyone in the city, those sets on the idea, if the largest city in america can take this critical step to ban gaseous, any city can do the same. this is how to fight back against climate change on the local level, and guarantee a green city for generations to come, as long as they can find something more sustainable. sure. but if they're not able to find something and it's at the cost of again, people who need he then i definitely don't agree with that. i think it's important to think about long term costs and to have options available to city. all you need is one blackout, and you know, everything goes caput we're, i've never heard of it all the guess. no, it can happen, but it has it all the draw floor. new buildings on the 7 floors will be banned from using gas as an energy source for things such as stoves and boilers. the rules though will be enforced by the end of 2023 and 4 years later they will apply to all buildings by it 2027. then our research is suggest these measures could cut carbon
5:20 pm
emissions by 2100000 tons within the next 2 decades. will that in turn of course will help save on gas connections. however, it's the cost of living, which is getting people ward. it is like to go up for residents of new buildings. now in the northeast of the country, consumers are expected to pay $1500.00 for electric heating this winter. that's according to the u. s. energy agency. that's almost 2 times higher than paying for gas. the executive director of a concerted non profit thing sank on. hyphenated america, says the decision will affect more than just heating world. yes, more proven oil reserves to date, we have more proven natural gas reserves. today we are more proven whole to day than we had 20 years ago, little let alone a 100 years ago. so what source are they planning on using to provide electricity for these buildings? are they planning on using solar power is not what it just affect your energy costs
5:21 pm
for you to heat your home during water time. it's going to affect everything across the boards for stores. it's charged more because your electricity bill is going to go up. left is like to attribute that idea as an economic theory to capitalism. but really the, the downstream effect trickle down if you will of left us policy always is that the consumer ends up paying opponent pro israeli body in the u. s. is looking to bolster its influence on american politics by channeling campaign funds to both republicans and democrats who push it's agenda. we are launching to buy parties and political action committees, a federal political action committee, and a super political action committee. to make us more effective in fulfilling our mission in the current political environment. although american is writing public affairs committee or a pac lobbyist for televi tv's interests such as the recognition of illegal

settlements in palestine and countering iran. now it's new political funding drive hopes to have an impact on the 2022 midterms. max abraham's professor of political science at northeastern university in boston, says a pack doesn't much care who it funds so long as it gets the minerals it was to make it seem, it's a national group. it wants as many members as possible as much money as possible. and so that means being taken seriously, not just on the right, but also on the left. and i think that with these new products, it will allow a pass to selectively fund and back democratic candidate who are pro is real in that way. it might help to change the perception which is formed over the past few years. that value is essentially republican. but not
5:23 pm
democratic ideals actually has a much broader effect in terms of us media policy. for example, we'll take a position on syria and would surely encourage the united states to support is really incursion against, you know, iranian military asset in theory is we are obviously views the wrong as the for most threat to it. and so a park very often is supporting hard against the wrong on all of these issues. a pack is influential within washington. dc process officially left the open sky street and agreement and our states to conduct unmanned surveillance flights unusual, a vast base. the decision to withdraw came with us pulling out last year is all gonna start off with more this withdrawal by russia rather than being
5:24 pm
a beginning of something big. it is a logical and now in hindsight, a and inevitable conclusion to a process started by washington. when last year accused moscow or violating the basic principles of this open skies agreement and decided to unilaterally leave the deal. this treaty which was signed all the way back in 1992. it served as a very important confidence bill that basically it allowed russia the u. s. and some, many nato member states to conduct anom surveillance flights over each other's military infrastructure. as long as there was a 72 hours heads up when washington decided to withdraw, russia found itself at a disadvantage. basically, neither russia nor washington could conduct such flights anymore. but the european nato members that were still part of this multi lateral motive, bilateral deal. they could still conduct flights over rushes, military objects, and most who try to get guarantees from it's european partners from its partners
5:25 pm
who are also members of the nato blog. try to get guarantees that they will not pass on any information, whatever information they can gather during such flights to their natural ally, washington. they failed to provide such such assurances, such guarantees. so russia said that it had no other choice but to withdraw itself . so this summer, vladimir putin, the president, signed a law saying that, well, russia will be leaving the deal. and today is officially the day that this deal is obsolete filters in russia. i've been hailed for performing pioneering surgery on a toddler whose face was covered by a huge bus mark the young girl from florida on the went several operations and had to overcome several obstacles over the last few years, including, of course, the pandemic. oh i
