for that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment for what's driving the obesity epidemic. it's a noun who's in a central london against a raft of new anti cove measures as daily infections in the u. k. reportedly, region, all time high british supreme court rules, it was unlawful to drop an inquiry into the alleged torture of 14 suspected ira members by british soldiers. one of them told us what he had to endure with this constant weight noise. that commandment took

a we are pretty and we were denied chile we all show were denied you should toilet that was causing for the 7 days there is own a law enforcement struggles to deal with hundreds of migrants arriving every day. the officials are rounding on the biden administration. is sheriff describes the situation as chaos. so we end up with the decimal desert robberies that are happening along the border. the pursuits then, the ancillary criminal activity like the, the large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country, ah, are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, the u. k. has recorded a record covered search with more than 93000 cases registered in the past 24 hours . and the mayor of london has declared

a major incident with hospitals running out of capacity. meanwhile, the government's ramping up its restrictions, sparking a furious response on the streets of the capital. the thousands of people marched in the capitol throughout the afternoon, and that a heavy police presence the outrage over the reported plans for mandatory vaccines as well as the new colored past system. under the rules. adults in england have to show an immunity pass to inter nightclubs, sports venues and other large events. and they similar pictures paying out across europe as the spread of the micron, very into celebrates with the netherlands becoming the 1st country to set a strict lockdown over christmas. and other measures active as of sunday limit households of $2.00 to $2.00 visitors rather for over the holidays and non essential businesses will be close ah,

elsewhere aussie has lifted his blanket lockdown within the vaccinated, enjoying greater freedoms. the unjust remain subject to lockdown rules, but are allowed to attend gatherings of up to 10 over the festive season. the change has them little to subdue. protests 1000 seriously, marched through vienna's riot police labor streets on saturday. meanwhile, amid surgeon coven numbers in britain, germany, mendez warrenton on k arrivals. from monday, august, peter oliver in berlin has more on germany's covered situation. for the 4th wave old cove at 19 certainly isn't over. and while we're still dealing with that, the new german health minister car allowed to buy has been, will painting a pretty bleak picture about the immediate future. and he was looking at the number of infections of the o micron variant in the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive 5th wave of the virus on its way brushed us. i'm assuming there'll 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 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 covered it. within the last 6 months, you're going to be pretty much 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 cinemas 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 sheer number of cases, tens and tens of thousands. huge amounts of covert case has been recorded in the united kingdom, france deciding they well was few people as possible traveling between the 2 countries. so 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 boosted 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 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 back things 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 saying 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 arms. we spoke with w. h o representative margaret harris. she thinks the micron strain 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 sized 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, we are also saying that people who've been vaccinated ah,

being protected from having the severe form from dying ending his 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 all need 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 roughly 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. the case relates to the troubles when hundreds of suspected r. a members were detained, often without charge. 14 of those arrested were subjected to brutal interrogation

techniques. these were later recognized as illegal frances mcguigan, one of the 14, told us what happened to him. i was booted. forced to stand against a wall finger tips and tip toes, small move back post. and so my body was actually bold with this constant weight noise. that commandment took over your brain. we were denied chile. we all show, were denied you should toilet. they took remove my own closure, put me in a boiler, should not boiler street was may day close by night closed 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 through much and you would collapse. don't at westgate you would

just beaten, taken back up, up against the wall and that, that was constant for the shopping days. i finished up with the broken. no, no. hm. my main difference to kind of this i've spoken to on the majority them tell me i've been so for a not long that they don't say that liberal go away earlier that you can answer plans to introduce limitations that would block prosecutions into alleged crimes related to northern ireland that there are many members of the armed services who continue to face with where all of that se shoes are 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 lot of, to draw a line under the problem to enable the people of northern ireland to move with a council of europe. sec, commissioner for human rights wrote 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 interrogation techniques used at bagram and guantanamo the e. c. h. r rejected a 2018 bid to overturn it's ruling. francis mcgowan again says that he 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 the us, the sand was what happens when tunnel black shapes. there's no investigation. so nobody was ever brought to here for part of the night on his way of certainly don't the lag, his clothes are all done on this thing. a bike protect and soldiers and nests per sadly, or old soldiers being dragged to the coast. i personally don't believe, but as anything whatsoever. it was soldiers. we want every kiss in court. we've never lost the court and we're no farther forward today. the may, our bellies,

policy just stalling and stalling, delay it stolen the mayor, push it back, push it back, push it back. maybe along, forgot to 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 there is a law enforcement say that they are overwhelmed as hundreds of migrants are crossing the border irregularly. and you may, each day, earlier, the county mayor imposed a state of emergency to secure additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people, or just give them up and comments now on how the situation has gotten to the point where it's being described as chaos. 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 call me as soon as possible. and now the biden administration recently

reinstated the trumps 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 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 death in the desert, the robberies 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 border county along the southwest border. now the local mayor has declared a state of emergency. he's calling on federal officials for help. 110 agents from the department of homeland security of already been re committed. however, local officials are slamming biden for not doing enough human is facing an

escalating humanitarian and border 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, and we'll actually divide 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 now, comma la harris, who was the vice president and just recently named borders czar by joe biden. doesn't seem to really be on the case. the water 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,

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 had disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by reco with the previous months data dunk 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 us 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. 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 on the, they need to change the messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to do individuals money because they were separated at the boulder, that's just a 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 that bill it will be reunited. and so it's all play on the rules of this administration was put in 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 bobbin r t new york. still the come in the program of warnings of higher energy bills for

new yorkers as the city is set to ban natural gas and new buildings and increase reliance on price here, electricity. the story after short break and much more stay with us or to international with join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. but i'll be speaking to guess will the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah

ah ah welcome back. this is art international. now across the atlantic in new york, politicians are ramping up electric city usage by bidding farewell to gas, the city council voted to eradicate the use of natural gas and new buildings to

combat climate change. the legislation still needs to be signed by meredith bill de blasio, but while it accords well with his green new deal plan, not everyone in new york is said on the radio. if the largest city in america can take this critical stat 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 it and 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 a, i've never heard of all the guess. no, it can happen, but it has it. under the draft law, 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 york 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's 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. we have more proven oil reserves to date. we have more proven natural gas reserves. today we have more proven coal 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?

it's not when it just affect your energy costs for you to heat your home during the winter time. it's going to affect everything across the board for stores and charge more because their electricity bills 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 more. a prominent pro israeli body in the us 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. the american israeli public affairs committee,

or a pac lobbies for televisions, interests such as recognition of illegal settlements in palestine and countering iran. now it's new political funding drive hopes to have an impact on the 2022, mid terms. max abrams professor of political science at northeastern university in boston, says a pack 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 fund back democratic candidate who pro is real. 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 and sense of us media piracy. 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 they talk very often is supporting hard 9 against the wrong on all of these issues. a pack is influential with washington d. c. russia has officially left the open skies trudy in agreement that allows states to conduct on arm surveillance, flights in each other's airspace. the decision to withdraw came after the us pulled out last year was commentary. here's our ego done off. this was ruled by russia

rather than being 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 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 nato members that were still part of this multi lateral motor bilateral deal. they could still conduct flights over russia's military objects. and at most school,

we tried to get guarantees from it's european partners from its partners who are also members of the nato blocker. it tried 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 are 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 him. doctors and russia have been hailed for performing pioneering surgery on a toddler whose face was covered by a huge birthmark. young girl went from florida and had several operations and had to overcome several obstacles over the past few years, including the pendant. oh,

i now she realizes that her face is different and always 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 in those. now she was like, wow, it's why now way more like a princes. ah ah.

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 dr. dudley's procedure that we don't have in america or in brazil or if it doesn't for me, i will be back in 32 and a half minutes with another look. just stay with us. our international

ah oh my view more broadly is that 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 hauled them? well, there's political will mobilization if you remember, wanda, nobody initially wanted to name or may knew it just i was saying vice. nobody wanted to call it that initially that label came to take place,

but not at the time when events were unfolding about politicize asian is if you say it's genocide, is suggest that you need to do something with oil and gas, manufacturing electricity, telecom dies vacation, all of them now have io t type of infrastructure connected to the internet when, you know, clearly realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries kind of ignore it because it threatens national security. but if we take the nato e u countries, virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but tell us forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job or

or a or every day, more ne, more technology available. more comfort, more products on the shelves. ah, and every day, new questions. what is there in our fields on our plates in our medicines as the industrial era made our world toxic.
