7:04 pm
a massive 5th wave of the virus on its way brushed us. i'm assuming there will be a massive 5th wave. i mean, close concept with my colleagues from the u. k. both politically and scientifically, we were still coordinating just yesterday, my colleague said 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 faith 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 horizon, the new action being taken in switzerland. 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,
7:05 pm
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 is because of her eyes of covert cases. they're in france. what they've done is they've basically cut off all non essential trouble between france and the united kingdom because of the, the she had number of cases tens and tens of thousands, huge amounts of covert cases being recorded in the united kingdom funds deciding they want a few people as possible traveling between the 2 countries. it's also prompted action and
7:06 pm
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 coven, in seen. in fact, the orders are all ready to go in for a 180000000 doses of coven vaccines that would target specifically the a, the omicron very into. when we're on 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 of pace. and it's that 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 remaining vaccines that may well see this. they're used by dates expire in the
7:07 pm
near future. germany saying they'll take them off their hands in order to try and get enough jobs in the facilities in order to put them into people's arms. we spoke with w. h o representative margaret harris. she thinks the amr constrain makes vaccinations more important now than ever. the really big difference between alma klein and the other variance is it's made 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 all the forms of the, of the size covey to virus were re infected with army front. so we can see that i'm kron 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,
7:08 pm
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 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 own a to hill people around the world get vaccinated. we all need to take seriously the measures to prevent the violins 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. buquet supreme court has ruled that it was illegal for police to drop a probe into alleged torture committed by british soldiers in northern ireland in 1971 of the case relates to the troubles when hundreds of suspected ira members were detained. often without charge,
7:09 pm
14 of those arrested were subjected to brutal interrogation techniques. these were later recognized as illegal frances mcguigan from one of the 14 told us what happened to him. i was booted. forced to stand against the wall finger tips and tip trolls. small my back post and so my body was actually bold with this constant weight noise, that commandment took over your brain. we were denied sleep. we all show were denied you should toilet. they trick, remove my own closing bookman of boiler shoot. the boiler straight was may day, close my nice clothes and my toilet for 7 days. and i just went on and we're forced to stand against this wall with your finger tips and that in a stress position the body. it only stands too much and you would collapse. don't
7:10 pm
westgate you're just beaten, taken back up up against the wall. and that that was constant for the 7 days. i finished up with the broken ribs. i still have nightmares. i don't owe him money. difference. it kind of this i've spoken to on. ready the majority him tell me, i've been so for a not long that they don't say a liberal go away earlier the u. k announced plans to introduce the limitations that would block prosecutions into alleged crimes related to northern ireland. that there are many members of the om services who continue to face with where all that say she was a prosecutions are willing to the seventy's and eighty's and later and we are finally mrs. speaker bringing forward a solution to this problem. to enable the problem to love, to draw a line under the troubles, to maybe the people of northern ireland to move with the council of europe, sec, commissioner for human rights and wrote
7:11 pm
a letter saying the u. k was denying justice. however, the european court for human rights ruled back in 1978 that the 14 men's case did not amount to torture. that decision was later used by the bush administration to justify enhanced tradition techniques used at bagram and guantanamo the e. c. h. r rejected a 2018 bid to overturn its ruling. francis morgan again says that he and others will not stop fighting to get justice. an apology from the british government means nothing to me. i think the word and it's more than i acknowledge the fact that when hutton deals the same as what happens in guantanamo black states, there's no investigation to know what it was ever brought, the he or bar last night on his way of football. done the legacy, his clothes are all done on this thing. there pipe protect and soldiers nests per sadly, or old soldiers being dragged through the cords. i personally don't believe,
7:12 pm
but as anything whatsoever. it was soldiers. we want every kiss in court. we've never lost a cheerful court and we're no farther forward today. the bellies policy, just stall or delay install. it, delay it, stolen delay or push it back, push it back, push it back. maybe along, forget it, but go away. we ain't going away. so we're not stop and we're never going to stop. our children, grandchildren says there is a law enforcement says that they are overwhelmed as hundreds of migrants are crossing the border irregularly in human each day. earlier the county mayor imposed a state of emergency to secure additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people, or just kill them up and explain how the situation has gotten to the point where it is being described as chaos. arizona mexico border is buzzing with activity 3000 migrant crossed just this weekend and the local sheriff says they are in
7:13 pm
a hurry. there were a lot of people who were planning to come here. but because of the new law they decided to call me as soon as possible. now, the biden administration recently reinstated the trump administration policy of having a silent speakers 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 decide to do in mtv, it was going to cause these problems. and obviously the ancillary impacts in up in our back yard. so we end up with the desk in the desert, the robberies are happening along the border, the pursuits, them. the ancillary criminal activity, like the large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country. from mexico all are occurring in every puerto county along the southwest border. now the local mayor has declared a state of emergency. he's calling on federal officials for help. a 110 agents from
7:14 pm
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 borders 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, calmly, harris was 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 heard from her since june, despite whitehouse reassurances. why is it that she has not spoken to the president
7:15 pm
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, remains unclear. meanwhile, 50000 juveniles seeking asylum have disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by record with the previous month day to dump truck received, we find that rick was disappear without explanation. truck is pizza. we reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review, the d o j agency, the overseas us immigration cases,
7:16 pm
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. the company own. they, 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 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 juveniles come across 1st. and then the parents come late, which as they know the bill, it will be reunited. so it's all play on the rules of this administration was put into place. the migrant crisis has hung over the biden
7:17 pm
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 silica the program warnings of a higher energy bills for new yorkers. as the city is set to band natural gas in new buildings and increase reliance on price, your electricity, the story much more after short break, this is our international ah ah, my view more broadly is the genocide has taken place. far more than anyone acknowledges. right. it takes place frequently. it is taking place in virtually every country in the world. so why does it come to be called in political will political mobilization, if you remember, wanda, nobody initially wanted to name or may knew it just i was saying weiss nobody
7:18 pm
wanted to call it eventually that label came to take place, but not at the time when immense worm building in border political zation is if you say it's genocide is suggest that you need to do something. ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk oh, cool, come back. this is our t international. now, across the atlantic, in new york, politicians are ramping up electricity usage by bidding farewell to gas,
7:19 pm
the city council voted to eradicate the use of natural gas in new buildings to combat climate change. the legislation still needs to be signed by mayor bill diblasio. but while it accords well with his green new deal plan, not everyone in new york is set on the idea. if the largest city in america can take this critical step to been 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. oh, to city all you need is one blackout, and you know, everything goes caput we're, i've never heard of all the guess. no, it can happen, but it has it. under the draft law,
7:20 pm
new buildings under 7 floors will be banned from using gas as an energy source for things such as stoves and boilers. the rules will be enforced by the end of 2023 and 4 years later, for all new buildings, researchers suggest the measure could cut carbon emissions by 2100000 tons within 2 decades, which in turn can help save on gas connections. however, the cost of living is likely to go up for residents of new buildings. now in the north east of the country, consumers are expected to pay $1500.00 for electric heating this winter. according to the u. s. energy agency. that is almost 2 times higher than paying for gas. the executive director of a conservative non profit on hyphenated america, says the decision will affect more than just heating bills. 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
7:21 pm
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? it's not, would it just affect your energy cost for you to heat your home during the winter time? it's going to affect everything across the board for stores. it's charged more because their electricity bills gonna go. what 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 a prominent pro israeli body. and 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
7:22 pm
in the current political environment. the american israeli public affairs committee or a pack is lobbying for televisions, interests such as recognition of illegal settlements in palestine and countering iran. it's new political funding drive hopes to have an impact on the 2020 to mid terms. max abrams professor of political science at northeastern university in boston, says a pack. it doesn't much care who it funds so long as it gets them influence. 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 packs, it will allow a pass to selectively found back democratic candidate who
7:23 pm
pro israel. and 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 democratic. ideal actually has a much broader effect in terms of us, medium piracy. for example, a pop will 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, if we are obviously views the wrong as the 4 most threat to it. and so they talk very often is supporting hard 9 against the wrong on all of these issues, a pact is influential within washington d. c. russia has officially left the open skies treaty in agreement that allows
7:24 pm
states to conduct unarmed surveillance flights in each other's airspace. the decision to withdraw came after the u. s. pulled out last year. here's our tc go to john office commentary. this with ruled by russia rather than being a beginning of something big. it is a logical and now in hindsight, a an inevitable conclusion to a process started by washington when last year had accused moscow of 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 builder. basically, it allowed russia the u. s. and some, many nato member states to conduct unarmed 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 any more. but the european
7:25 pm
nato members that were still part of this multi lateral motor bilateral deal. they could still conduct flights over russia's military objects and most who tried to get guarantees from it's european partners from its partners who are also members of the nato blocker. it 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 a such assurance as 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 i saying that, well, russia will be leaving the deal. and today is officially the day that this deal is obsolete. here's a sweet story for your doctors and russia, have been hailed for performing pioneering surgery on a toddler whose face was covered by a huge birthmark. the young girl from florida underwent several operations and had to overcome several obstacles over the last few years,
7:26 pm
including the pandemic. oh, i now she realizes that her face is different. you know, she started asking me so she looked at them. your wow, dr pal pump took the black off and isn't that? so now she feels the difference. you know. now she was like, wow, it's why now i more like appliances. ah mm hm. ah,
7:27 pm
you can go to the doctor. i'm very pleased with the results of the work done. there will be no large scale operations, only some aesthetic procedures to improve the appearance every day where we see the messages about like people that want to come to rush, you know, and they want to know what kind of procedure doctor does this procedure that we don't have in america or in brazil, that does it from $832.00 and a half minutes. i'll be back with another look tuesday with us, our international ah,
7:28 pm
oil and gas manufacturing, electricity, telecom, you guys, application. all of them now have a t type of infrastructure connected to the internet as well. so clearly realizing this disruptive potential that those countries cons, ignore it because it threaten us national security issue. but if we take the nato, you countries virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but tell us closes they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job. oh, working remember, should never act. she popped in. she said, well, i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas and i wish
7:29 pm
there was a good buy another shooting another safe part of american life shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an 8 or 15, semi automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act when we're silent on this issue, the other side winds by default lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs, which is why do you wear again? were you scared with nothing? you could take it off of me. i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings that we certainly wouldn't have. the number of desk. ah howdy a max kaiser?
7:30 pm
this is the kaiser report. we are in mexico city heading south el salvador. the said you're adopting bitcoin standard. probably mexico. we'll do the same thing a couple of years, but let's check in with stacy, stacy, macs. the last episode we talked about the inflation and inflation propaganda. inflation is still in the news. i think this is going to be in the big 2022 theme as our guest, john will be now set at the end of the last episode. and you continue on that theme and the 2nd half of this episode. but i also want to say that the population of america agrees with max and stacy. they also believe, in fact, 2 thirds of americans polled disapprove of how biden has handled inflation. that makes sense because he's throwing gasoline onto the flock. fire of inflation and people don't like that because they're already getting burned by inflation. why
7:31 pm
are you doing that, jo? jose an arsonist.
