it certainly will give the c d u a boost as a lot of happiness in the faces of c d. u representative today because they have scored a significant victory here. but on a national level, the c d u as a lot weaker than these 36 percent that it polled instruction on how it's somewhere around 25 to 30 percent. and it's the biggest challenge at the moment on a national level are the green's is the green party. so that's a completely different face off that we can expect in the national elections. and those are still 4 months away. so a lot can still happen in that time. so the c d u will take some sort of momentum from this result from these elections. but it's certainly not a done deal that it's going to have as much success in the national reactions as it had in this region. right. so it's not a done deal, but what are you taking away from these results? is there anything that really stood out for you surprised you perhaps? i think what's important to what was important in this region is that there was a kind of face off between the c d, u and the a f d. the election was

those strong gusts of wind felt in kuwait in guitar and the u. a. but as i said, it's a very dry picture. if there is any rain, it'll be in the west in areas of yemen. and as we hop across to africa, we have showers brewing across the e. c o p, and rift valley. but much of the storm action is going to be across the central african republic into cameroon. and nigeria, seeing some of that wet weather. but up in the north, out in the south. it's a much dry, a picture as we move to southern africa. plenty of sunshine around for cape town, 20 degrees there. that will be some wet weather as we go into next week. but it's the eastern area of south africa. seeing some of those showers johannesburg staying at 21 degrees celsius. the who's in february 2021. the crippling storm down texas is power grid. 4000000 people plunged into darkness with no heating. many died from hypothermia with hundreds suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, as they tried to stay with them any way they could plunge investigates where the use of the regulation and prioritizing profi

without doubt this was a resounding election victory. fungal michael. c. d u party here in the state of facts in the and there are 3 lessons from this for those general elections in september. first of all, the far right a if the party can be beaten and it can be seen in decline even in an eastern stronghold state like saxony on highs. also the c d. u policy can once again gain momentum as it just did in the state, just sacks and the height. and thirdly, i mean last it, the chance the candidate of the conservative party may be seen as a continuity candidate our medical. but he's no obstacle to beating the far right a f d. that's very good news for him. and his conservative c, d u party. the other big question is, what's wrong with the polling? because none of this was conclusively predicted. and the relatively poor showing here of the green party in socks and the on had, may be an indicator that the continuous rise of the greens may not be given after all. to peruse presidential run off. now, an exit poll shows right wing populace keiko with murray with a narr

u. a very important distinction. because steve, as you know, so many of the folks who make the claim that, oh yeah, employers can do this. they're citing the supreme court ruling from 19 o 5 that says that the army can force soldiers to get vaccinated. that has no bearing on the ways which 1st came into place in 2004. while i'm anxious to see, i'm not doubting your word, i'm anxious to see the outcome of they are their fleet to the court to stop what's going on there at the use of hospital. but what about the argument legal basis or not that in the case of health care workers, they owe it to the patients that they treat to have the shot. well, i would disagree with that for a couple of reasons. for one thing, there's a lot of things we don't know about these vaccines, and that's the argument that's made here in the law since the lawsuit. but nurses are saying this, they're saying we're not guinea pigs, right? and so you can't force us to take this back to nature, we're nothing, we won't get it in the future. we're sa

u. s. system that there could be some kind of a swap. i don't, that makes it that's good to talk about, but i do not see the united states doing that simply because the u. s. cherishes all of these potential opposition, figures or characters as assets in their war against russia, information and political organs, russia. so there's, i don't think they're gonna make much progress on that. they'll talk about it. i don't see the u. s. a green to anything. and there's also the issue of nato, and this is obviously going to be a big concern for russia. but again, i don't see the united states giving any consolations with regards to the advancement and the pressure which nato is putting on. this is what was happening at the g 7 the announced a new atlantic charter. i mean, this are the us and britain and their allies already spelled out that they're going to continue to posture in an aggressive fashion against russia. so it doesn't leave a lot in terms of negotiations and leverage. they are, it seems to be all take from the u. s. and no give it,

just gone 11 o'clock a moscow you watching arte international. now the u. s. government has apparently see the website. so if a year many broadcaster and to rainy united, let's including his k international channel press tv, that's according to his statement that now a page on those pages with more his keller poppy. at the moment we do not yet have clarification from the u. s. government about whether in fact they did take this action. the state department has indicated that the department of justice will give information later regarding this situation. but if one goes to the website, one will find a statement from the department of justice and the f. b. i with their official seals saying that the website was seized. now, it, what's interesting to note is that while iran is a country that speaks the language of farsi, this statement is on the website in english and arabic, but not far as the the iranian language. it's important to take the context into account now we have joe biden and his administration that have been in office since earlier this year that

u. so there's a lot of focus right now on how the u and the u. s. conform a bigger block against china, they also likely are to discuss today new efforts to come together to combat china digital prominence. so they like we will discuss things like pulling investments into new technologies into artificial intelligence, into quantum computing and semiconductors. but all of this is really part of these efforts to, to come together to combat the rise of china. right. chelsea, delaney in frankfort. interesting day to day. certainly, thank you so much. another issue on today's agenda is of course the global blotto steel and alan minium, which puts china back into the spotlight. the u. s. and you say that's china unfairly subsidize the steel produces and then dumped the excess steel on world markets at rock. bottom price is distorting the market and that is what triggered the u. s. trying to trade dispute back in 2018, but the then trump administration went even further imposing 10 percent to terrorism elementary. i'm and 25 percent terrorists on the imp

but just sort of just as soon as i o u a n k and visual, they're doing their hands. middle name, battleships i oh i i lost my lives in the corner. down on special decision, $100.00 and monday, ake alarm 7 or something ah, known below the monarch, even as iowa had the horror, the him a new. i'm an issue and i'm sure, i mean, is natalie harris of mac and mandy, who are the who whole of yanna is alone as high as the layer of chivalry of edna and smith. i shall charlemagne all the week um, valuable my, the solution. now what? my for you again have a nice day. it'll how to better brewer the data, how to better when and they are not here. not sure about the my community or mm hm. most of the cases, young kids get that up in the middle of the night and the very difficult stuff comes to they become very vulnerable. the them sense victim i feel is what i said, okay, if you did not throw stone, who throws in your neighborhood, and this is how they try to make people collaborators with the military. so it's also very common when, as i let us the child, the 1st thing that threat
