me, the headlines this are more problematic, partying for the british prime minister relief female has revealed a 100 dining street stock were invited to get together during the 1st national looked at the also to come, protest is sprayed in germany during another round of demonstrations against strict new measures that destroyed is still playing the idea of supporting the facts and a tennis number. one bad joke, job alleged travel claim spans, has gone online to fire volume back at officials, who's the good afternoon, just going for o'clock in moscow. you watching archie international now,

yet more party pressure for the british prime minister bowers johnson. but once again, it's social and not political because a link t mail has revealed another lockdown gathering, involving the leader and his wife. it's claimed a 100 dining street staff were invited for a boozy get together in 2020 hi all. after what has been an incredibly busy period, it would be nice to make the most lovely weather can have some socially distance drinks and the number 10 garden this evening. please join us from 6 p. m and bring your own boose. 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 course, social distance to meet as a part. 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 utterly outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government were producing up at number 10 downing street proving yet again, that is 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 did go into but it was wrong. so how can those run the

country have filters was ok. now, number 10 are yet to comment, but for us, johnson has previously and repeatedly said that all guidelines have been followed. of course, with metropolitan police and now weighing and they're considering investigating and now in communication with the cabinet office. but just to give you a bit of an idea of what was happening at the time here in london on may the 25th that 5 days after this, so called parking 10 days after that wine and cheese alleged soiree lawrence children 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 and the police will step in if necessary. so it comes as no surprise then it's no wonder that even tories are now losing trust in the government. according to the latest shocking poll, i'm more than a 3rd of tories think the boris johnson should quit and almost $4.10 think he is

doing a bad job, of course, considering there's now been dozens of party revelations and allegations floating around during the lock down period it sounds as though the government was almost on a booze cruise, but it seems as though bars johnson may not go down with his ship. okay, well let's talk more about this scandal and, and go to the u. k and speak with john golds he's waiting for caesar. a host on talk radio and also a columnist. and as always, john, you're very welcome. the 1st question, it seems when it would have revolved around boris johnson, can he survive this latest scandal given the level of public anger and also the discontent we are seeing in his own party? and probably is the answer is that he's escaped before. he'll probably escape again, although it's true to say isn't a right mess. now, i don't know when they did any work. they seem to who is be on the booze. but joking aside, this is disgraceful, isn't it tab all of a doubt on an hour earlier saying, we can't meet anyone. and also, of course,

people weren't able to bury their loved ones or even say good bye to them. and boris and his mates were bring doing a bring your own bottle now in his defense and guess you could ever bring your own bottle party in the garden. it's a big garden and you could just talk to one person. but in reality, that wouldn't have happened, would it? it's disgraceful. it's typical or do you agree with the black for the s and p leader, empowerment? who's and it's one role for them. and another for the rest of us. the only problem is he calls for boris johnson to go at every single moment. so he loses credibility. i am across. the big question is, if boris goes, who's going to replace him in? exactly what will come on to that in a minute, john? but i'm, i just wondered how long burst johnson can keep ducking questions over this because there are calls for him to go to the comments and announce the questions from and paste. but we get sort of very general reactions and comments from parish johnson.

at the moment, he should be in the commons, as at this moment as we speak. instead he sent somebody who's not even a minister. he sent along marco ellis, and he's answering questions is not good enough. of course, to morrow is prime minister's question, so he has to go. unless you send somebody else, if he's poorly, i think if he doesn't turn up tomorrow, then boris will be toast. boris will have no option. what he needs to do is go in front, so explain what happened. this parliamentary support worker sent out this message to 100 people 40 people. one went, he has to fess up, was over the he and carry his wife went and then perhaps he can rebuild from there . i don't think changing the prime minister at the moment would be a good thing, but don't get me wrong. boris johnson has absolutely disgusted me. it is completely and utterly wrong when we, the people were following all the advice to the letter. and some people getting

fine when they broke it. if they dared to meet a couple of people in the bargain of a few cans, how dare he and other members of the cabinet, if they will then break their own use. it is disgraceful. it is their manners. but you've got to be careful what you wish for whom we should also stress. he's not above the law. i mean, we were saying there is one rule for one on one rule for another, but the police say they may investigate. is there any reason? no, given what we've seen, why they shouldn't investigate. now of course they should investigate that was a lame excuse when they used it last time with boris johnson. no man or woman is above the law, and the law should take precedence here and they should investigate. likewise, the inquiry led by the chops of the servants who dr. it's not good enough that that's going to report in weeks and weeks needs to report. now we need comments now or a johnson should've gone in there today and answered the people in the commons. he

hasn't now again with boris johnson. he's made many mistakes during this crisis. and certainly he didn't and delayed. he didn't put the 1st lockdown in quick enough, but he has rolled out the vaccination program. he had lead as well. and i have to ask the question to anybody who really put in the boot into boris, who could have done this any better? it was an precedent leaders around the world. i've had similar problems, not an excuse for him, certainly non excuse them. say oh, it's a lovely summer's day. lovely weather. let's have a drink in the garden. oh yeah, you go and do that. well, i can't bury marble. i mean, father in law. if you're not, do that or a senior made each is disgusting to think they could put out a troy t mail like that. when people all over the country were dying, people weren't been able to get buried. people weren't been able to say good bye to their loved ones or if they did, they would do it on a map who i phone will through glass as just kind of unforgivable, isn't it?

it is. and just briefly, john, if he is forced to resign over this, who's is likely replacement of people say people id, she wish she soon like, but i mean, he's had no real long term experience of the people as a list trust. but she's got the career more of a paper bag so i can see that working. there are no natural born leaders. boris is a natural born leader for all his fault. and then when you look over the labor benches will, if kissed armor can ever stop get catching cove, it math, good leaders. it it angela. right? no, thank you. there's nobody on the opposition benches. what that story illustrates. it just how poor i could use another term. there are mainstream politicians are today. they're all pretty useless and you couldn't, but a cigarette paper between them. we've been let down in our country by the political class, the professional political class. they all basically discussed me, john,

on that night we'll leave it so i always get to talk you john gone bearer and talk radio hosts speaking to a staff from the k, thanks are coming up for those revelations of downing street turn gatherings to come in mid europe's on going attempts to grapple with high caving infection rates . this has also been facing violent demonstrations against ty, to restrictions. the toughening of measures in germany doe has seen protest get increasingly agitated. ah, 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, curt, 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 coven restrictions, and they're not going to certainly accept mandatory vaccination. now we are expecting there to be a more restrictions put in place in germany coming up this week or left shoulder. 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 pull 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 allows and people in bars, restaurants, cafe to see that you tested negative is 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 tested negative in the czech republic. there is talk of allowing even people who 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 omicron varied 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 help mitigate some of the pressures on or the schools on critical workforce at other 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 what's going on across europe when it comes to covert 19, and a real patchwork of methods being used to try in both keep calling me alive. keep countries open and stifle the spread of the virus. pay to all of that, and i mean while a french m. p has been accosted by a group of protesters outside his home over the decision to implement caving

passports in overseas territories. near canada footage posted on social media to show stefan cloud ro, hey, being posted with see read. and so he was entering his property on sam pierre, a michel, the m p. has said he'll file criminal charges against all those involved in the attack. health passports will limit people's movements if they are unvaccinated, not have remote sco infections have risen 66 percent in the past 24 hours, but russian health officials do say they were prepared for it with the rapidly spreading on micron strain. seen as the key factor, the world health organization has warned that half of europe's population will have been infected with in, with the new strain within the coming weeks out is don't, quarter has more now on the co situation in russia. well, the 1st alma kron 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 its 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, strange level of infectiousness is absolutely unprecedented. the level of lift ality and the number of hospitalizations might be 60 to 70 percent lois. but still, with such a level of infectiousness, more people are going to get ill. that was the deputy director of the gamma leyha 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 them across making its mark on russia, we're going to see what kind of new measures we'll be seeing in the near future. now the world tennis number one novak joke of it may have won his cool battle on monday to compete the straight you know, open despite being unvaccinated, but the country's government says it's still might to port him. it's investigating whether he gave false information about where he traveled to in the fortnight before his arrival in melbourne earlier. saskia taylor gave me more details. the joke of it song and lucky that has grown well beyond sport. now it's kind of covert

tyranny vas says freedom of choice, it's a 40 buses, the individual, it's the faxes versus the skeptics. it's making an example of someone versus turning a blind di. so it's a bald really into this messy mix of social division sport politics. and health. now the latest allegation that the tennis ace faces is that he was not entirely truthful on his travel application to australia. 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 managed to dig up some photos that do indicate that at christmas he was in his home town of belgrade and serbia. just a few days later in early january, he was in spain. i'm now this is not just a little white lie. there are penalties for being dishonest on that form, primarily financial, but potentially up to 12 months of jail time bought a police are investigating that is no official word yet. in the meantime, talk of it. you sort of drowning out all of this noise and the media frenzy out on

the practice courts and his father back home says that that is exactly why he needs to be rather than being dragged through law courts has some kind of a politicized scapegoat, because i me so will you, sonia, i will, to thank everyone around the world who supported knows nothing. thanks to them. he was never brought to his knees. he like when he's done everything they ask him to do. and he's finally received the course decision, allowing him to stay in play tennis. i can't describe the feeling proof. we never thought our son, the best tennis player in the won't allow, would have had to go through the floor, especially in such a far away land believe what he had already proven himself bessy. 9 times over the, it's incredible that this is happens him furnished, but it has happened and it was in no way related to salt. it's all politics so far as he can see from politics couldn't defeat him this time for our he didn't deserve the visa refuse. so in the 1st place, we never to deal with a politics is tennis, will assume that the verdicts will give him most strange orders and he's perfectly

mentally prepared. and of course, we expect no fact to win his 21st grandson and his 10th australian. okay. well, despite got optimism, there is absolutely no guarantee that his son will compete that to load when, because on top of that bought a piece of investigation, the immigration minister was great himself to say that he might still unit not to revoke visa. so it's still a couple of ways, it's been go fine and jail time deportation are in deep. that temp you open when. but you know, it is all filled from a closed case. 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 but divisions up there and, you know, i think this has proved to be, make it unexpectedly divisive store. it seemed to kind of bring together all those simmering tensions that we feel around the world a moment in front of kind of a split down the middle. some of come out racking him up to say he's need to suck it off and get vaccinated is a way of walled. we've also seen protests of robs on the streets of mouth and now

pulls to some jungle, which is heroes pointing against this normal of vaccine mandates. office think that he's just sense of ramadan 2 boxes sitting on public health on a pool in this day and age go to the internet. does up see no shortage of means if you know where to look. but humorous side, you know, it is becoming somewhat of a serious international dispute. the salad in p. i'm pulled his australian counterpart on tuesday just to give you an example of how high up this has gone. and it's such me not great for the country town under which is now got the eyes of the wilderness of the wrong reasons. and no one really seems to be willing to fact down of course the prime minister, australia scott morrison is up for reelection says he wants to project this image of strength, jock of it. so he's not going to give away here. he's thinking not 20 fussed grand slam title, so you can find the be declared the greatest of all time. it's high stakes for everyone and it's such and has been a very fun take few days for the wild number one. let's just recap exactly how this will paid out. mill bag jack rich. how the world's number 110,

a star got detained in australia on a symbol timeline. january 5th. kenneth starr comes to melbourne to defend his title at the australian open. immediately after touching down jock rich taken in for questioning by border force tennis superstar came into the country on vaccinate because he had a medical exemption after having told me just a couple of weeks earlier. mr. chuck of h received on the 30th of december 2021. a letter from the chief medical office of tennis us trailer, recording that he had been provided with the medical exemption from covey vaccination on the grounds that he have recently recovered from code it. january 6th or 11 am local time jack vicious visa cancelled his recovery

from cove. it wasn't enough for the australian government kennesaw taken to detention center where he had to wait for court trial staying with asylum seekers. january 10th. job which one the appeal against the cancellation it is either judge, ordered the government to release right to stay in australia and return to jog, which is 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. now it is 20 years to the day since the 1st prisoners were taken to the notorious u. s. prison camp at guantanamo bay. and we've been hearing back what they went through from a detainee. my was, i'm bag,

was held there for 3 years without ever being charged with any cry. unfortunately, on this anniversary 20 years, there are people i spoke to young boys. one no longer young, that 1819 years old, who never met at all because they probably beheld without child or travel channel listening to me as i saw 2 people i saw one present when it comes to the top of the page being repeated, be punched and kicked them to the children, the american accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subject to sounds of a woman screaming in the nes cells that i was led to believe was my wife, while interrogating the way pictures of my children in front of me and threatened to send me to egypt in the to syria. if i didn't cooperate so that all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. and i, as i say i was on the get to 3, is there a few people been up to literally 20 years without charge?

when a new report by human rights watch details, the tragic extent of the systemic abuse that the prison camp, it assesses the torture and the legal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo, and the colossal detriment that the operation has had on victims. as well as human rights efforts on a global scale cause upon president joe biden to repair the damage done. and finally closed the detention center is a brief history of the infamous facility. ah ah

ah what we've also spoken to the human rights lawyer clive stanford smith does represent some of those inmates who've been held at the facility. he says the process of obtaining justice for the prisoners is a long and convoluted one. something that i, as an american lawyer, i'm very ashamed on that. we in the us have held people indefinitely without trial

now for 20 years. in some cases there's no excuse for that. it's absolutely wrong. it's very, very difficult to explain why it takes a long time and even with a very small number of prisoners. sure, they want true military condition each time we've come to the supreme court has been when the us government to assess it, it's right term to keep prisoners without proper trials. and each time they've lost . and you would think that here we are 20 as on, surely they've now narrowed down the people since 780 they originally said were the worst terrorists in the world. i think now that get it right, but they haven't. and indeed, one of my clients, i still represent 6 people. and one of my clients is someone who is mistaken for a true terrorist who has torch and for 540 days. and then was taken to guantanamo bay while the us captured the real terrorist and set him free. so it all

kinds of sans president says international peacekeepers were start withdrawing from the country in 2 days. and his praise russia and other allies for their support authorities to say that they've arrested more than 10000 on terrorism charges and say there's a large number of foreigners among them you video has now emerged to showing groups of protest as shooting at a government building ah, we are here in the city of almighty and basically you can see just still 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 this territory 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 at family lived 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 cassock. an old man go. some people from

the crowd, rummaged in bushes and pick something out from the ground. it wasn't rugs, it was an iron bars. they were looking for something small. they had something small and their hands. i think it might have been some kind of drug because it was something very small. it fitting upon what did the cooks 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 riot gear is far from unheard of. it was something else that caught this family's attention. when you will know was nick. no, we saw people in long down jackets. they had earpieces in their ears and either walkie talkies or telephones. they were now hurried 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 will cool. ideally the visible red flags don't and there plenty of locals noticed matching outfits wound by the most violent rioters. they were wearing black clouds sung wearing masks, hat.
