1:02 pm
the will, the pictures don't quite show it some days, protest, thousands hit the streets. it came right after the national assembly gave its blessing to the so called vaccination. it'll mean only those who are fully job will be allowed access to things like restaurants and cinemas. it replaces the current less strict health system under which a negative test was sufficient. and it's not only from stance seen on rest over coby restrictions in the past few days. there have been major flareups in germany, greece and benevolent. ah,
1:03 pm
i like when a record breaking 24 hours in germany and not in a good way when you look at the 7 day indices, that's the the number of infections of coven 19 per 100000 of the population. it's past 515 nationally. you look at things locally in berlin, it's close to $1000.00 per 100000 of the population vol. so seen the bumpers there at the german military say that they're going to implement disciplinary action against it's serving members who refuse to get their vaccinations. there are some cases that have already been opened in relation to that. there's also a number of new rules that have come into play in berlin. if you're riding any of
1:04 pm
the german capitals, public transportation. you're going to have to have an f, f p to mask covering your nose and mouth. that's a much more substantial face covering than a normal surgical mask. also, if you're riding that public transportation to any event, which they'll be more than 10 people at, well, that event will be covered by the to g plus rule. what that means is that if you're going there, you need to be vaccinated, recovered and be able to show a negative test that was taken within the last 24 hours, or that you've had a booster vaccine shot. if you're under 14 years of age, none of that matters because you're not covered by any of those particular rules. however, those people who run the hospitality industry in the german capital say not enough as being done to keep them afloat financially, while everything seems to be done to try and keep bars and restaurants open at
1:05 pm
least in some fall. the earnest of his, i turn sceptre both on this place and september 2018 will work, providing people not only with food services, but we also have cultural events, bernice and celebrations for our neighbors. the last 2 years haven't been as one of them to be. we're definitely demand on the money of tourists. previously, we had groups of them, even pupils from france, england, and spain. i know now is dried up the same as the number of birthday celebrations and events, especially with elderly people. there's a samar, a face to wave of cancellations, coupled with kristen has been cancelled, but definitely feel the impact of it. and absolutely want to receive more financial support because we have no more chance of being left standing. it's not just in germany that new rules are coming into play on monday. if you're in greece and you're over 60 and you're not vaccinated. well, you're going to get a 100, you ro fine. in fact, you're going to get that 100 euro fine. every month until you get vaccinated it all schools are also getting underway again in greece. on monday, on friday though,
1:06 pm
students were extremely unhappy with the ministry of education that building being pelted with missiles by children saying that they wanted substantial protection against cove at 19, in, at the measures that were being put in place. which is not enough to do that. those who were attending that protest said they wanted schools to reopen, but they needed to reopen in a manner that was safe from the virus. in austria, over the weekend, we saw another saturday of demonstration, thousands of people on the streets of vienna. people extremely unhappy with the measures that the austrian government have taken when it comes to trying to fight against coven 19 leaf business owners. old us that the measures that have been taken by vienna, taking them pretty much to the wall, can earl de la. it's definitely extremely sad. we had to remain shut down for half a year during the last long locked out filling all the required applications for
1:07 pm
subsidies. cost money require the help of tax consultants and every new lockdown or new applications, new subsidies. it's exhausting. sometimes help becomes extremely late. some people end upon the rocks after all over himself, salary tutor. i pride full financial support during the 1st wait for my application wasn't even onset. i think they've just been overloaded when they can't work as an excuse. but i think it was just like that just in following waves. i received help but received it with a delay and it wasn't very clear what amount of money i could count on has been very hard, very hard to plan anything. no staying in austria, coll niana. the austrian chancellor has confirmed that his government is pushing ahead with its plan to introduce mandatory vaccination at the beginning of february . it's a controversial plan which has drawn a lot of criticism for a small section of the austrian population. it's also a plan that's being watched very closely by a number of other european countries,
1:08 pm
including here in germany, to see how it plays out. but across europe, nations are taking a number of very different causes. when it comes to them trying to snuff out this latest wave of coven 19 peter oliver. and italy's cupboard pass is also harder to obtain now with a negative test, no longer enough to get it. restrictions are pushing some italians to break the law and date with one nurse recently arrested for issuing fake job certificates. ah. and with, as adults and health care professional, i'm disheartened,
1:09 pm
i've been putting my private life aside for 2 years, just like all my colleagues as well to deal with the pandemic. for this reason, seeing these things happening is really sad. ah ah ah ah ah, we were away that this police investigation was not over. i really hope that with this arrest we can put an end to this sad story. i am very disappointed even angry . it is difficult to understand how a person who's worked for many years in hospitals and healthcare can do such things . not injecting the vaccine as a crime. it is if a priest does not believe in god. mm
1:10 pm
. with all may chrome taking hold or on the globe country such as denmark have begun? administering a 4th vaccine this by left thing, some cobit restrictions up the weekend earlier. my colleague roister shea, talk to a world health organization spokesperson about what's in store for us that the immediate future. well, what we see leaks is, is the increase in number of concessions around the world. and as we see on current becoming a dominant variance, we have seen in one week 50000000 newly fashion, which is the absolute director,
1:11 pm
is the beginning of the decrease from the previous sleep. so the sheer number of infections will bring more people to even know. one crew may prove less your disease then don't previous variance, but these numbers are low. we will need more pressure on how system. so let me just pick you up on what you said. the, the b, b, c, quoting university of livable chairman of infectious disease at julian, a hitchcock, she says, alma cronies, the end of cove it. the guardian says the most widespread symptoms of armor cross match those of the common cold. why is it if the symptoms are, as they say, talk of a common cold, then then why are we thing mass look down and further restrictions and mandates not common cold. and this is not true if there's a star school to virus, the new variant. and unfortunately, we cannot predict what's new variance we will have and we are likely to have new
1:12 pm
barriers. i understand that we all and then we can like to go back to normal life. but these viruses kill the millions of people. so i, so to say that, i mean my lease is not much right. what about the case of the tennis superstar? novak joker, she had cove it in december. he recovered. now that i'm not a medical expert. my son, he won't pretend to be one, but doesn't natural immunity, the natural immunity, the joker, which has, wouldn't that? so pass the effectiveness of what he would get the effectiveness from a vaccine. barry clear from w john from, from do, from the introduction of lexi. the advice is the same glamor one. when you get to push ability to get frustrated. when jaundra please doing scenes, i save efficient communicants reducing the number of course. and that's what they would like to see is that everyone on this planet has this possibility going back
1:13 pm
and talk about one more time. could you just do me a favor and answer the question, joke of it, having natural immunity? what is better protection, natural immunity, or one of these vaccines? we don't have that particular data. we are basically monitoring to see how long immunity loc boat from infection and from from axis teens. i'm better because you know that the protection sees you must develop your system when you get infected with anybody, you don't know how bad it will be. so definitely does better to, to, to try to get the protection from our scenes. we are trying to get things done as we don't, we cannot speculate, cannot say how long the immunity is lasting, both infection or from promaxima know which one would last longer. but we have or exceeds that have expected to prevent disease rather than to get it and
1:14 pm
try and try to be lucky really. ah, british prime minister barak johnson's popularity has hit all time low over the sodium party gates candle. it's dominating the u. k. media landscape with a string of revelations about booze ation digs at dining street. but it's drawing all attention away from a barrage of other problems affecting the country. it's a tough time to be. you. k prime minister for was johnson's cabinets, have been criticized for their code response. the countries seem decade high inflation, soaring energy bills and living costs with stagnant wages, record breaking ambulance, and hospital waiting fives, teenage knife crime in the capitol yet it's one thing that has brought anger from both the public and his party, crushing down on johnson bringing him to the brink of disaster, both in the poles and parliament a party, or rather
1:15 pm
a series of parties with very bad timing. the picture was quite a contrast as the whole country, even the queen was locked down or at least social distance thing. darling suit officials apparently held boozy parties and cheese and wine get togethers. what in our faces seems like a hang over? so far things don't look good. for the 1st time in years, the opposition has taken a solid lead in the polls falls also show large numbers of voters even tories. what in the prime minister's resignation? even dozens of his own impedes are calling for no confidence motion as protest as gather outside number 10 for a mock work party. ah jokes . a site for those in the u. k. it's
1:16 pm
a matter of perception and principal. why have people followed draconian rules been separated from dying? relatives faced isolation and restrictions on base at a life while those in power have lied. the suitcase of wine is definitely the tory equivalent of a bag of cans. a pint of wine. this is nothing. the number 10 lads drink it by the suitcase christ. if this was what johnson's downing street was like, jerry looked down. imagine what was like before. why do you think they call it downing street? it's fun damage. control media, speaking of a double whammy operation, save big dog. yes. but literally named by the prime minister himself and operation red meets the former mass calling of don st. officials to throw as many as possible under the bus ballasa. a blitz of policy changes to appease the public and m pays from scrapping the b, b. c license fee. so putting the military in charge of patrol in english channel
1:17 pm
from saving a chest to binding booz downing street though, why this wasn't done earlier. beats may 1st also looks like he's getting on what's called a charm offensive. he's trying to introduce things that he thinks the public will like. he is, for example, threatening to limit the fun thing of the baby said. he says he's going to get tough on migrants coming across illegally over the channel. he's saying that very soon or restrictions uncovered to land, but it's too late. all of those things might be attractive individually, but he has permanently lost his moral authority on this issue. and since the issue of the panoramic has been the biggest issue for the last 2 years, he will always be, we can from now on. can johnson come back from the brink? the coming weeks will tell, but policy it has once again shown 2 things. there's nothing voters have more than a lying politician, except when a line politicians stops them having policies,
1:18 pm
but goes ahead with their own. let me throw this in the next 2 reports that boris johnson is about to lift. many of the existing coven restrictions in england has got critics claiming he's only doing it to win back support the country's national health services. it's currently under extreme pressure due to the current on a cron wave, that covert death tolan u. k. no sounds more than a 150000 people. while at the heights of the lockdown restrictions, many relatives were prevented from attending the funerals of their loved ones. one of her is the founder of a companion group. names, not numbers. i was tustin was unable to pay his last respects to his grandfather that happened in its way. so it was sun masjid. i didn't get that, you know, i stayed in london dressed in my best suit and how soon are by myself. and it's interesting to note on a day that the prime minister was having wine fridays ago. the feudal,
1:19 pm
there's only about 4 people that. yeah, it was very rough. no way concrete couldn't have been easy for many people that could have been easy. can you ever want to strive more normal life is concept the got a hard job so you need for why and his job and he needs to hit the ball at the end . resign my thoughts are if, if this is the idea of leading the already wrong fresh thought the state of the country at the moment the leaders giving us rules that we do are you in standby and whereas they come out ok. some startling figures. now the wealth of the world's top 10 riches people has doubled
1:20 pm
during the pandemic. thus, as the poorer across the world continue to suffer due to a lack of vaccines and treatment, those are the findings of a new report by the ox from charity called inequality kills. which claims policy choices by governments are skewed in the favor of the wealth. dwell so the wells attend the richest men has doubled. since the pandemic began the incomes of 99 percent of humanity, a worse off because of coven, 19 widening, economic gender, and racial inequalities. as well as the inequality that exists between countries. a, tearing our world apart. this is not by chance, but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct harm to us. all the pin they make has really exposed, been a call. it is an fuel them. so ox, i'm has been tracking billionaire wealth for some time. and of course the full list
1:21 pm
shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years. but over the last 2 years it's been really exponential. so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 99 percent of humanity. it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as a result of the make. of course, more than a 160000000 people have fallen into poverty during this time. and it's in a moment when you can see the difference is really showing very, very starkly. we can't cause success when there is such disparity, that at one end of the spectrum, you have people who have more wilson, they can spend in several lifetime and the other we have people struggling to pay their next health bill or, or not knowing where the next meal is coming from having such a level of disparity affects everyone, even the wealthiest, because you know it's a sign of unhealthy state of affairs, of a unhealthy society that needs addressing. and one of those key drivers for
1:22 pm
equality has been vaccine access to vaccines. so the difference between rich and poor countries has grown the inequality. so and the poorest countries in africa, in general, only 10 percent of the population has had his 1st course of vaccination. so that means that they still and they're taking much longer for their corporate response and their recovery from the economic downturn, which means that unfortunately the train is set wide. and if we don't act, ah, can know the story that we are across today, a right wing presidential candidates in from so it's been fine 10000 euro after a court find him guilty of hate speech. eric is a mirror now i was rejected the ruling calling and i cracked on on free speech. we once an end to this system which every day tightens the noose on the freedom of expression and democratic debate. the system manufactures the crime of opinion on
1:23 pm
an industrial scale. there is an urgent need to drive ideology out of the courts. justice must become justice again. well that certainly how eric, the more would see this. he is the bad boy of french politics, particularly as we had into that presidential election in just a few months. he's now been slapped down once again. this time by a court overt that resist hate speech. now, this focused on comments that he made back in september of 2020, when he was a host for a broadcast network here in france. cool. see news at now. he has, as said that a, he's a presidential hopeful that he's been stymied, demonized the things that he said. and what the court decided on monday is that how much it was going to fine him for doing as this, that making this hate speech $10000.00 euros in total. so what did he say that was so exclusive hearing france?
1:24 pm
well, when he was speaking on that show back in september 2020, he was talking about unaccompanied miners. so children who come here illegally and many of which are living on the streets in france, particularly here in paris. and he described them as being thieves as killers and as rapists. now those comments were seized on by number of organizations who made a complaint. and of course, it's now gone all the way through the course. eric's in war has been reacting to that decision by the court to find him 10000 euros, saying that what this is, his condemnation of free spirit at by a judicial system which he is described as being invaded by idealogues objectively . tim, once again, i am the object and the victim of political justice that i'm condemned for incitement for complicity the incident. but the complex is a formerly used is too much to understand. i know that these immigrants like unaccompanied children and not a race in arizona. well,
1:25 pm
eric seymour also says he stands by his comments and he is due to appeal that fine by the court. and then he went on to say that from his perspective, that the majority of se, mobile phone facts, it took place here in france, were being carried out by these unaccompanied miners. he says he's also got a really busy legal agenda at the moment. and he said, that's because they, when he means they, he means the ruling elites are trying to demonize him to try and silence him. however, there was other reaction to that decision by the court on monday. and this came from the lawyer who represented the 30 or so organizations that originally filed a complaint against what he said. if it's tomorrow, it's definitely an important decision because we want him to understand that we want acceptor, we need him to understand that there are human rights defenders. there are and theresa, so we need him to know that we will stand up against a political project aimed at destroying the legacy of the french revolution and the enlightened, nearer justine, girl, i think the fate in store for him,
1:26 pm
the speed with which these hearings are taking place and what seems to me from the court's decision, the distortion of his words, all of these things are different to what is being applied to other people. he has the same rights as every one else. he has the right to appeal. that's young. now it's not the 1st time that some more has been convicted of hate speech. in fact, he's been convicted of this twice before. and there have been around 16 investigations into incendiary remarks that he's made particular topics such as immigration and on islam. he has plenty to say about both of those subjects. now whether you agree or disagree with this and was views, what is absolutely clear, cannot be disputed, is the fact that when he discusses topics, it is something that becomes an explosive debate here in france and people pay attention. and as a result of that, when he announced his candidacy for the presidential election just a few months ago, he's surged in the polls automatically and what his voice is done,
1:27 pm
whether you like the contribution or not it's pushed the debate towards right wing agendas and some would say that that his even pushed present mack on his traditionally like to be part of the center debate to the right with policies that he's made and policies he will be campaigning on in this election. so this is an election that is going to be for pretty much exclusively on right wing issues. and that is partly due to voices like eric some more. at no doubt, his support has dipped since he 1st came on to the waves and said, i want to be the president. but the reality is, he's shaking up the political debate here in france, and he is certainly a voice that we will hear a lot of in the next few months. charlotte gibbons can take this true, that's not a deeper dive into all those stories can be fine. just a click away and r t dot com, always fresh content lively discussions to be fun there with
1:28 pm
her. all those driven by dreamers shaped bank for some of those with who dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't know. i mean you world, you have to shape out. this thing becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart,
1:29 pm
we choose to look for common ground. ah, your may i am i yes, the order is that he's c i o. now, alyssa, typical there is only 9, but already a university student. she could well be the most famous and talked about child in russia. now i bring him, i am. lisa's brothers and sisters are way ahead in their studies too. so might even try to get into university earlier. my daughter was only one when they took like offset the news. i had to wonder if give to children with a product, a very early studies, or just had an actual gift coach. you should you teach chemistry to a 4 year old and what about other people who has kids were so far ahead of other children their age? are they more successful now? to seek an answer?
1:30 pm
i met some child prodigy and adults who had been described as prodigies. don't local choose to scramble to call them, but oh yeah, but the actual thorn with select vehicles for thought under sure. on free lunches. questioning to lexical to them. when is the sketch putting them in the oxygen? only those give that away means national world. if as everything in fact he betters at that, he'd been like, his name's a new much but when the let's see him live d v i think was the store to deal with or get it started with the one credit for his teacher or was all reason is balise. we'll go on gossip. shush. ah, it's a block of have 7 children so getting them old rice, they're ready to go for a walk. is a challenge. they don't use babysitters or ask the grandparents to help and their kids are.
