find themselves worlds apart. we choose to look for common ground. ah, the headlines is a more problematic parting to the british prime minister league email has reportedly revealed a 100 dining street stop are invited to get together during the 1st strict lock deck. ah, well, protest is the sprite in germany during another round of demonstrations against strict new cope with measures. there is european state struggle to contain infections and increasingly angry citizens. the tenants. number one, novak joker, they may have one. he's called battle to play the strain open, but his troubles are far from over with the government now looking into claims, he gave them false information about his travels. we speak to his father.

we never thought our son, the best tennis player in the world would have had to go through that. but as you can see, politics couldn't defeat in this time with the welcome. just gone 3 o'clock in moscow. you watching t international. the british prime minister parish johnson is under more pressure over the so called party gate scandal, that after league t mail, reportedly revealed another lockdown gathering, involving the leader and his wife, with claims that a 100 dining st. stuff were invited for a booty get together in 2020 hi all. after what has been an incredibly busy period, it would be nice to make the most lovely weather and have some socially distance drinks and the number 10 garden this evening. please join us from 6 p. m, and bring your own booze. well, it seems as though all the prime minister was during,

during this pandemic is party. and while everybody was simply in a lockdown, it seems as though the government was acting as if there was a cause for celebration. in fact, the prime minister chief 8 simply sent out this message saying that the lovely weather in may of 2020 was ample enough reason to host a party. and so invited around a 100 people to a, bring your own booth, downing street garden party. now it's alleged that around 40 people attended this party, including boris johnson. the only problem is at the time the rules clearly stated, even reiterated just an hour before that invitation went out. but you can only me talk with one other person from another household and of cool social distance to meet as a pot. so it's probably not much of a surprise for me to tell you this huge amount of opposition to it, including calls for the prime minister to resign. people will find it awfully

outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government will be using up at number 10 downing street proofing yet again. that it's one rule for them. and another for the rest of us. if the prime minister had a shred of integrity or an ounce of shame, he would have resigned many months ago. boris johnson has consistently shown that he has no regard for the rules he puts in place for the rest of us. at the time, everyone would have known that go into a body was wrong. so how can those run the country have filters was ok. now, number 10 are yet to comment, but for us children has previously and repeatedly said that all guidelines have been followed. of course, metropolitan police and now weighing in the considering investigating and the now in communication with the cabinet office. but just to give you a bit of an idea of what was happening the time here in london on may the 25th. that's 5 days after this, so cool party 10 days off is that wine and cheese alleged why re florence. joseph said this, the only reason we have been able to make such progress is because the country has

observed the social distancing rules. feel free to speak to people yourself if you feel they are not observing the rules as the police will step in if necessary. so it comes as no surprise then it's no wonder that even tories ah, now losing trust in the government. according to the latest shocking pole, more than a 3rd of tories think that boris johnson should quit. and almost $4.10 think he is doing a bad job, of course, considering that is now being dozens of party revelations and allegations floating around during the locked down period. it sounds as though the government was list on the booth crews, but it seems as though a bar johnson. 2 may not go down with his ship. meanwhile, europe has been grappling with high coby infections in recent days, and there's also been facing violent demonstrations against tight restrictions. the toughening of measures in germany has seen protest, gas increasingly agitated. aah!

with every state across the federal republic. seeing some gathering, some of them very small. some of them around a 1000 people, couple a 1000 people or so the major cities like berlin cologne, leipzig, all seeing larger demonstrations. now those protestors who've come out to say absolutely no way to mandatory vaccination in germany. they may well have been boyd by the, the news coming out of austria that the plan to introduce mandatory vaccination there by february is certainly been pushed back at least a month. what we have seen though is state leaders like the one in saxony, michael kirk, chair of the christian democratic union saying that there's, there's

a section of society that germany has lost a hold of that no matter what they say, no matter what they do. and these people are not going to accept cobra restrictions and they're not going to certainly accept mandatory vaccination. now. we are expecting there to be more restrictions put in place in germany. coming up this week, all of shots, the german chancellor will be speaking in parliament later this week. and now overall the, the message for the coming from the people in germany is that they support these measures that are being put in place. however, as i said, there is a hard core nucleus who are wealth absolutely outraged by what they're saying. we have freedom of expression. we are the people, we are citizens, they are, you have to do your duty. you have to show the government, the red car that things should not continue as they have been up to. now i can pause. free vaccination is clearly a violation of the constitution. it's clearly totalitarian and absolutely must be

prevent our thought. should it be decided by these criminals who unfortunately, ross now, well elsewhere in europe, in italy, what we're seeing is new restrictions coming in there as well. they've already brought in the super green pass. now already italy had what was called the green pass. this allow, it's an people in bars restaurants, cafes to see that you tested negative super green pass that's put in place for the over fifties in italy, specifically that shows that you've been vaccinated and that you have hosted negative in the czech republic. there is talk of allowing even people who've tested positive to go to work. it's an attempt to try and keep the economy alive. it is only at the discussion stage at the moment in prague. but what they're basing it on is the idea that the o micron varies results in less people requiring hospital stays and that would allow them to keep the economy going if certain professions were allowed to

continue even if you tested positive for cove. and of course, if you have a mild case of it over in the united kingdom, they are also looking at lifting restrictions a little bit, not as extreme as what's being discussed in the czech republic. of course though, they're, you going to see the isolation period for cove at 90 reduced from 7 days to 5 days . this is because they have real staff shortages in the u. k. when it comes to the, the health care sector and in education as well. the education minister in the united kingdom, the education secretary in london saying that they're looking at this and it's alongside the, the scientific data and they're going to make a decision based on that. i would, but obviously always defer to the scientific advice on this. it would certainly be help mitigate some of the pressures on earth. the schools on critical workforce at ubs, i hope, will be one of the 1st. you'll see the question, how we,

how will we performed, i hope, will be one of the 1st major economies to demonstrate to the world how you transition from pandemic to end demik. what's going on across europe when it comes to coven? 19 in a real patchwork of methods being used to try in both keep economies alive. keep countries open and stifle the spread of the virus model. a politician in french, ireland terror trees near canada has been accosted outside his home after koby. passports were introduced. their footage posted on social media dish does show stefan clara hair being posted with see read this he was entering his property on some pierre and me call the m p. he said he will file criminal charges against all those involved in the attack. health passport will limit peoples movements if they are unvaccinated. i have moscow cavan infections, have risen 66 percent in the past 24 hours, but russian health officials the say they are prepared for it. with

a rapidly spreading amr kron strain seen as a key factor, the world health organization has warned that half of the world's population will have been infected with the new strain within the coming weeks. if he's don't court reports now, on the covert situation in russia. well, the 1st micron case in russia was detected just about a month ago, but it seems to be spreading across the country like wildfire as usual. moscow and the suburbs were the 1st to take a beating. we saw the number of daily cases rise. a whopping 66 percent over just the previous 24 hours. now, russian medical experts have said that we should have expected a new wave of infections, but that the number of deaths that will probably be looking at in the future will be a lot lower than we've seen in the past. move in and still, while the on the kron strains, level of infectiousness is absolutely unprecedented. the level of left ality and the number of hospitalizations might be 60 to 70 percent lowers. but still, with such a level of infectiousness,

more people are going to get ill. that was the deputy director of the gamma layer institute that develop sputnik v. he also said that we should expect another wave of new infections come late january, early february. as for the authorities, they promised to keep the situation under control. so we can expect to see some new measures being rolled out on the whole measures in russia have been generally quite lighter than in most european countries. of course, it varies between different regions of the country. but in moscow, at least q r codes are needed to enter cultural institutions like museums and theaters. several months ago, the authorities also discussed possibly instituting q r codes for certain forms of travel, like on airplanes and trains. those measures, however, have not yet been implemented. so with alma kron making, it's mark on russia, we're going to see what kind of new measures we'll be seeing in the near future. the world tennis number one novak joke of which may have won his cool battle

yesterday to compete at the a striking open despite being unvaccinated, but the country's government does say it still might deport him. i'm just investigating whether he gave them false information about where he traveled to in the fortnight before his arrival in melbourne. get more details, nancy. this ascii taylor joined me in the studio. good afternoon, saskia. this time yesterday saying that your cabbage had one. it's fight didn't it to compete with the grand slam. but i mean, let's be honest, the struggling government is now saying we can still and that dream for him was in the joke. a bit fog looking at has grown wealthy on sport. now it's kind of kind of a tyranny. voc says freedom of choice. it's a 40 bus is the individual. it's the faxes buses, the skeptics, it's making example of someone bosses timing applying die. so it's a born really into this met the mix of social division, sport, politics and health of the latest allegation that the tenant a thing says is that he was not entirely truthful on his travel application to

strayer, he a power, he declared that he had not travelled anywhere in the 14 days prior to his flight to melbourne. but of course, in the day of social media, people manage to pick up some photos that do indicate that at christmas he was in his home town of belgrade and saw just a few days later in january. he was in spain. now this is not just a little white lie that all penalties for being dishonest on our form, primarily financial, but potentially up to 12 months of cale time puerto police are investigating that is no official. what yet in the meantime, jock, which instead of drowning out all of this noise and the media frenzy out on the practice court and his mom about consensus is exactly where he needs to be robbed and being dragged through law courts of some kind of politicized scapegoat because somebody knew sonya, i want to thank everyone around the world. he's supposed to know thanks to them. he was never brought to his knee and everything they asked him to do any finally

received the court decision, allowing him to stay and play tennis. and i, i can't describe the feeling we never thought of on the best tennis player in the world would have had to go through this. especially in such a far away land, where he had already proven himself 9 times. probably it's incredible that this has happened to him, but it has happened, and it was in no way related to the board all politics. so as you can see, the politics couldn't defeat in this time. he didn't deserve the visa refused. so in the 1st place, we never had to deal with such policy. for our politics is tennis. the verdict will give him most strength on any perfectly mentally prepared. of course, we expect no fact when his 21st grandson and its 10 australian oakley. while despite got optimism, there's absolutely no guarantee that his son will compete not to load when, because on top of that puerto police investigation, the immigration minister straight himself said he might still unilateral,

revoke the sportsmen visa, thoughtful a couple of ways that they could go fine and jail time people patient oriented that temp open when but you know, it is far still from a closed case we just hearing from his father that of course, he's very supportive of his son. but what's been the public reaction, the police and the political reaction to all of this because, you know, as you mentioned earlier, there are big divisions. absolutely. you know, i think this has proved to be maybe get on expectedly divisive story. it seemed to kind of bring together all the simmering tensions that we feel around the world. the moment you know, fellow tennis pass a split down the middle, some of come out fucking him up to say he's me suck it up and get vaccinated. it's the way of the world. we've also seen protested, robs on the streets of melbourne. now course the thumb jock of which is a hero, to fighting against this new normal of vaccine mandates. others think he's just sort of robert on to box the. he's splitting on public house on a cool in this day and age go to the internet. does that mean no shortage of means?

you know where to look. but humorous side, you know, it is becoming somewhat of a serious international dispute. it's been pm to the strain in town on tuesday, just to give you an example of how high up this has gone and it sucks me not great for the country town and which has now got the eyes of the wilderness all the wrong reasons and no one really seems to be willing to back down, of course the, the prime minister, australia scott morrison is up for reelection here. he wants to project this image of strength. jock, a bit soft, not going to give away here. he thinks not 20 flossed grand slam title. i can find anything declared the greatest oval time. it's high stakes the f one and it starts me as being a very frantic few days for the wild. number one. let's just recap exactly how was it paid out? mill bag jack rich. how the world's number one tennis star got to change in australia on a simple timeline. january 5th, tennis star comes to melbourne to defend his title at the australian open.

immediately after touching down. jock rich taken in for questioning 5 order force. tennis superstar came into the country on vaccinate because he had a medical exemption after having co with just a couple of weeks earlier. mr. chuck of h received on the search as of december 2021. a letter from the chief medical office of tennis australia, recording that he had been provided with the medical exemption from covey approximation on the grounds that he have recently recovered from coded january 6th or 11 am local time. jack vicious visa cancelled his recovery from cove. it wasn't enough for the australian government tennis store taking to detention center where he had to wait or trial staying with

asylum seekers. january 10th job, which one the appeal against the cancellation of his visa judge ordered the government to release right to stay in australia and turns to jog, wishes, passport, and other travel documents. yet, it is still unclear whether the vaccine skeptic would be allowed to compete. and given a chance of winning a record breaking 21st grand slam title, still had desire. it's now 20 years to the day since the 1st detainees arrived at the grand panama bag detention center. we speak with former inmates, including one who spent more than a decade day with act being charged for a crime. the details after the break with

join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking together for the world politics. small business. i'm sure business, i'll see you then. mm. hello, driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with sinks. we dare to ask in you know, everybody is concerned about that point being a part of this game,

but in fact, it's the only thing other, there's not a montes game, it's an open source project built by volunteers. it's not a policy, but there are a lot of policies out there. ah, hello again. now it is 20 years to the day since the 1st prisoners were taken to the notorious us prison camp at guantanamo bay. while we spoke to former detaining emo, as i'm beg, he was held with that trial for 3 years in the jail before he was released and was never charged with any crime by us authorities. unfortunately, on this anniversary 20 years, there are people i spoke to young boys. one no longer young, the 1819 years old, who never met at all because they probably be held without child or travel channel listening to me and i saw 2 people. i saw one prisoner with his hands part of his

head to the top of the cage being repeatedly punched and kicked them to the children. the americans accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subject to the sounds of a woman screaming in the nest cell that i was led to believe was my wife, while interrogators from the way pictures of my children in front of me and threatened to send me to egypt and the syria. if i didn't cooperate so that all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. and i, as i say, i was only get to 3. is there a few people been up to literally 20 years without charge? when a new report by human rights watched us detail the tragic extent of the abuse that the prison camp possesses the torture and illegal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo and cause on president joe biden, to repair the damage done. and finally closed the prison. his brief look at the history of the infamous facility. ah

ah, with

well, we also were spoke to format. guantanamo bay detainee man saw a day think he spent 14 years in the prison and like mister bag was never charged with any crime. he says, the facilities, very existence is an injustice. what is guantanamo, you know, what animal is a place that re teeth burge, you know, injustice once and i, when i was a simple torture, injustice, lawlessness, abuse of power in different dishes. one can only is one of the biggest human right by listen, the 21st century. no law applies. there. no human rights, no any kind of rules or basic right for, for humans. so got enemies. existence is a torture. is injustice as it is, clothes 20 years and one thing or turn to be a political again or under for numa graphs and you know what? because what want to keep it open because that gives you some kind of publicity or

been something more books. sadie was that humanity within and they know what that was wrong. they don't want an ocean exists in the 1st place. in other news has extends president, says international peacekeepers will start drawing from the country in 2 days. and his praise, russia and other allies for their support. com is now returning to the central asian republic, after what authorities called a terrorist sled attempt to overthrow the government r c. she go, she donna reports from the countries worst affected and its biggest city al mattie, while the international peacekeeping mission here in kazakhstan is over its official, it will take no more than 10 days, according to the president of kazakhstan, for all international troops, to completely withdraw from the country, it took the local security forces only a few days to get the situation under control and no longer required the help of their allies from the collective security treaty organization. now,

according to the authorities, their main mission is to keep the situation stable and well to keep improving it. and in fact do not lead to basically prevent anything like that from happening. ever again, we are here in the city of almighty and basically you can see just a while, a fraction of the may. hm. that has been dealt to the city. this is a former presidential residence now it's, well, it's definitely a former one. you can see how protest is used this truck to completely well destroy the ball, the barriers, and to get in to get into the secretary by basically now the whole city here wonders who was behind this terrorist attack on the country. and at we filed this report where we try to get some witness accounts and well to get some glimpse into who may have done it. cause extern is making its 1st baby steps towards recovery from the protests which went terribly astray, turning into terrorism. and as the whole country moons, this city, the city of al marty,

that has seen more annihilation than any other town by an order of magnitude can help. but wonder who is behind all this? irina and family live meters away from the main square. from the windows they watched armed goons joined the mob. for the flat malady, there was a crowd of people walking towards the administration building. initially we didn't think they were armed, but they seemed aggressive. the next day the crowd grew. people appeared with clubs, iron bars, helmerson shields, on which was written in cash agen alden and go. some people from the crowd rummaged in bushes and pick something out from the ground. it wasn't rocks, it was an iron, ours. they were looking for something small, they had something small in their hands. i think it might have been some kind of drug because it was something very small. it fits in your palm, mccook bucklin and she shows us videos on her phone. we're the 1st news crew. she's showing them too. but protests as arming themselves with stolen. royal gear is far from unheard of. it was something else that caught this family's attention. when

you will know which nick no, we saw people and long down jackets. they had earpieces in their ears and either walkie talkies or telephones. there were no hurry to go to the main square with every one else. there were just scanning the crowd. it seemed to me that they were directing the crowd on but it equal accordingly. the visible red flags don't and there plenty of locals noticed matching outfits, wound by the most violent rioters. they were wearing black clothes, usanga wearing masks hats, and we noticed white gloves really. it's so long vs. what else to say asked no ma'am. i said you're the bulk of the people were in black grey, but now to bleed people in bright red jackets stood out. i immediately wandered who would want to stand out like that at an event like this graphic. the protest in kazakhstan were ignited by a hike and fuel prices, but quickly took a political turn as anti government chance evolved into religious proclamations. according to this witnesses account that the pope was emily, after some time,

closer to the night, we heard shouts of allah akbar! got his greatest on the square. those were no longer slogans of kazakhstan but religious logan's neighbors. his windows overlooked the square, said that there were man who used women in he jobs. as human shields, troops told us that him on the terrace there were bearded man and citizens of other countries according to their documents. o mathias plagued with rumors and stories about foreign islamists slipping through security checks and conducting attack. no one here believes that locals could have caused so much, may him in their city cassock. authorities have been saying for days that a terrorist attack was underway and according to leaders of the c. s t o security alliance, the events he em have borne. the tell tale signs of international terrorism, amenable them him in the august him is not a military. we are witnessing the aggression of international terrorism. where did they come from? these gangs of armed men who were trained abroad yet and clearly had experiencing fighting in global hotspots. system forces do not shy away from using cyberspace

and social networks to recruit extremists and terrorists to create sleeper cells of insurgence. we will not allow the situation in our homeland to be disturbed. we will not allow a so called color revolution to be carried out. cassock security forces are on a seek and destroy mission. clearing out terrorist cells that had gone into hiding, complicating matters is a mistrust between the army and the police. up to terrorists stole so many of their uniforms and could sneak up on them disguised as officers. the nation wants to go back to the peaceful life. they're used to and to know for sure. who did this. i'm again, donna reporting from almighty kazakhstan, archie, and that was your new strap for this. and that brings you up today. we're back again at the top of the

ah, by the pandemic. no, certainly no voice is like teeth and you as a merge we don't have with her the vaccine world leads to take action to be ready. people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together.
