10:01 am
show the european court of justice strikes down controversy all hung garrion laws that hit a university funded by billionaire george soros it rules them incompatible with e.u. law. plus paris orders as bars and cafes closed as europe confronts an increasing number of new infections that is criticism ounce of the government's handling of the pandemic there. and a startling new global reform on the abuse worldwide of people suffering from mental illness hundreds of thousands of people are being kept in chains literally shackled in dire conditions we'll talk with one of that study's authors. i'm dr thomas good to have you with us today u.s. . president donald trump has returned to the white house after being hospitalized
10:02 am
for covert 19 his physicians says he will be receiving further care over the coming days a number of white house staff of also been infected we'll talk with our washington correspondent about that and more after this report it was a determined donald trump wearing a mask who emerged on to the steps of the hospital for days after he shocked the world by announcing he and 1st lady maloney a had tested positive for curvy 19 trump was back. after the short helicopter flight to washington the president crossed the white house lawn and strode up the staircase made a point of removing his mosque offering a salute to the departing ak roof. and there was in courage meant for the other 7 and a half 1000000 americans who've been infected by the virus. let it dominate you
10:03 am
don't be afraid of it you're going to beat it we have the best medical equipment we have the best medicines all developed recently and you going to beat it i went i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago felt great like better than i have in a long time i said just recently better than 20 years ago don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives. stem across it challenge it joe biden was on asked on television where they he agreed the president had to pass some responsibility for contract the virus anybody you contracts the wires. sensually say rash don't matter social distancing doesn't matter. i think is is is responsible those words will not be enough to deter the president in one of his many tweets on a day of high drama trump h.
10:04 am
to be back on the campaign trail soon. let's get more now from washington but from san francisco we're joined by professor and m. de peter he's an infectious disease specialist has been assessing the president's condition and joins us from the university of california there thanks so much for joining us dr the president's physician is saying that trump is doing better but that he's not out of the woods yet what's your assessment of his condition right now. well brian thanks for having me on i think that the president may be in a honeymoon phase as i call it of course in 1000 disease in the 1st phase it's me means a viral phase before the inflammatory phase sets and we look for a warning sign around a 70810 when people can actually do a lot worse require a lot more oxygen and he may get better or at that point may get
10:05 am
a lot worse and that will be around that weekend ok so that is a perspective for the president and somewhat hopeful of if he does get better but before he left the hospital tweeted to his audience that people should not be afraid of covert 19 is that the right message for a president to put out in the condition he's in right now. i'm worried about that message for we've had more than 200000 deaths in this country a lot of this parties and brought them black folks and people who don't have as many opportunities to get to the. to get easy diagnostics that they have and i think it really sends the wrong message i mean i think it should be one of unity it should be one of respect for the virus you know i still continue to be humbled by the virus every day given by home the pre-n. manifestations of the disease i see and folks ok with that in mind does the president has indicated he wants to return to the campaign trail for more live
10:06 am
events like ones we've seen in the past do you do you think that's advisable with what we know right now about his condition. i would never tell a patient in this situation to go back to work immediately for several reasons 1st of all there's a need for a convalescence he needs to relax and recover and he's definitely i see you pointed out not out of the woods yet the 2nd more important reason is that he's still potentially infectious you know the c.d.c. guidelines the united states for mild disease would not allow someone to be off of infection control for 10 days at least for a moderate or severe disease that's extended to 20 days so whatever criteria you look at the president is not ready to go out into the world unless there is a convincing test that his that he's not infectious anymore but that's not really
10:07 am
a standard test because you need to do a culture of the virus dr thanks so much for that we're talking with the direction home from university of california san francisco an infectious disease specialist thanks very much thanks so much brian. the european court of justice has ruled that hungary is in violation of the laws with regulations for higher education they were introduced in 2007 team critics say those rules specifically targeted a liberal university in budapest founded by the u.s. billionaire george soros in an unprecedented move the university was forced to quit the country. in 2017 changes to gary in law governing foreign universities for tens of thousands of protesters out onto the streets of budapest the law stated among other things that a university could only operate if the hungarian government had a specific agreement with the university's own country only one university was
10:08 am
unable to fulfil the new requirements of the central european university or c e u founded by one garion born us billionaire george soros the 90 year old philanthropist funds causes that support democracy and human rights he has long been a source of i for hungary's right wing populist prime minister viktor orban he was accused of interfering in domestic politics the university has since moved to the austrian capital vienna where the only university. located in a european union country that has been forced out of our home. by the arbitrary acts of a government that remains a member of the european union e.u. lawmakers have repeatedly raised concerns that all bans government is undermining democratic norms with restrictions on press freedom changes to that you just sheree
10:09 am
and to the electoral system. despite the protests or ban remains popular at home and his opponents face an uphill battle but just last week the european commission's new report on the rule of law raised quote serious concerns about judicial independence in hungary. more now on the european court of justice is ruling with our bureau bureau chief in brussels alexander phenomena good day to you alexandra can you give us some more details about this verdict. well i think that the most important takeaway from this verdict is that they were a peon court of justice has ruled that the measures implemented in hungary are against the laws that those restrictions put on foreign universities are against the general agreement on trade in services meaning that foreign and the
10:10 am
missed domestic universities must be treated equally the european court of justice also ruled that those measures in hungary are contrary to the charter of fundamental rights of the european union guaranteeing such rights as academic freedom or the freedom to found and operate an educational establishment so quite a rebuke of the to all button and his government this isn't so much as important to you and his rule of law treatment academic freedom is in brussels that the hungry could do an about face and invite this institution back into the country. well this is not the 1st ruling against hungary and we know from past cases that normally the government would 1st criticize and reject actually and then
10:11 am
eventually bow to their conclusions on the court in this case however we have to say that it could be a perfect victory because this university was already forced to leave the country and to move its campus to vienna in austria what does this mean for hungary's relations with brussels they've been very true troubled over the last few years. well you totally right there is a growing concern and criticism of the rule of law situation in hungary and as i said it's not the 1st ruling against the hunger going to government but so far we have to say the european union has failed to rein in to prevent a victor or ban from his attacks on democratic institutions in hungary and now we have this discussion that the only solution could be to tie you funds
10:12 am
access to e.u. funds to respecting the rule of law but of course that is also something that hungary strongly opposes. thanks so much for that from brussels. let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making the news kyrgyzstan's for russian president insisting he is still in control of the country that despite protesters capturing the seat of government and freeing his predecessor from jail and opposition politician is also now declared himself acting interior minister violence erupted in the capital bishkek following last weekend's parliamentary election. calls for armenia and azerbaijan to agree to a cease fire are growing as the conflict between those 2 former soviet states continues to escalate scores of people have been killed after the decades old conflict over the disputed territory have been going to occur a box erupted 9 days ago the reason lies inside by john but is under the control of

ethnic armenian forces. stricter covert measures are being put in place across ireland with a jump in cases there. but the government has rejected calls from its own health experts for a 2nd lockdown instead people are being told to remain in their county of residence and all indoor events have been banned. all sorties in paris have shut down bars and cafes for 2 weeks to slow the spread of the french capital's right now on maximum alert with tighter rules and forcing social distancing new infections and hospitalizations have not seen since the lockdown was eased there may. be tough times call for tougher measures with the french capital experiencing a shop spike in corona virus cases authorities say they had no choice but to introduce stricter rules for businesses in the paris region for the p.d.
10:14 am
me of a poor veep the end they don't think is going too far we must cut it now before our health system is overwhelmed the numbers make this clear and we must do this in particular to avoid shop. during our country. the new measures put a ban on gatherings of more than $1000.00 people and made buns only serving alcohol will be forced to close. restaurants which abide by the regulations and put in place new hygiene protocols will be allowed to remain open officials say they're trying to strike a delicate balance there all too aware of the economic hardships of many business owners. like. the health crisis has had extremely harsh consequences it's dramatic for many families and for economic activity in our country and in our capital it in a. bar and restaurant owners say they will have to live with the new restrictions but many complain that closing the doors even for

10:16 am
a match to mask make this one the stuff that's been around for over 100 years business had always been great until the pandemic hit and for 6 months it didn't make a single suit and the people come back into the city. so we can get back to some normality now though boris johnson has said everyone who can should keep working from home over the winter the tale of this policy is a disaster and swings so easy to finish off the out of the high street all the independent shop where you couldn't the big big out there i can swear it was the stores all over viking whatever it where. one shop there more passed through. 9 am usually rush hour in the city not so in corona times it's hard to believe how empty the streets which are normally bustling with people cars and buses up to half
10:17 am

10:18 am
even drop the clock believes london city will survive this crisis as it did august for now though this iconic part of london really is on life support and local businesses don't know how to make it through the. especially in restaurants and pos we haven't don't want book at christmas not want not for taylor dayne hook tells me from now on it's the bible of the fittest and he desperately that he will be among them. now there's an alarming report out today by human rights watch the group says that hundreds of thousands of people suffering from mental illness are being subjected to abuse including being kept shackled in chains worldwide an estimated one in 4 people will suffer some type of mental health problem during their lives that experience will vary greatly according to where they live the ngo says it's found evidence of people being shackled in 60 countries worldwide this
10:19 am
problem is especially widespread in parts of asia and africa the report also says that social stigma attached to mental health and an adequate professional services in many countries cause families to literally lock up their relatives or send them off to religious centers where they may suffer from abuse for more i'm joined now by pretty sharma from human rights watch in jakarta kriti you did most of the research for that report thanks for joining us today how widespread. is shackling in indonesia and across asia for people living with with mental health problems we found that hundreds of pounds of men women and children some as young as 10 being shot 60 countries sometimes for you know those at the time the practice exists across a shout africa the middle east and latin america including in countries like japan
10:20 am
and russia. you know your work is based on testimonies from people around the world is there a special story a particular story that that shocked you most or or that you think is representative of what you found. so if you can a man i met in indonesia for the 1st time in 2014 was shackled and locked in a shed by his parents. after receiving government support he was freed and went back to living in the community holding down a job doing the local call to prayer for his mosque except when corbett 1000 hit and now it's shattered again big is called in 1000 has disrupted access to mental health services so deakin is a prime example of how shocking a coalition around the world people go in and out of chains depending on the
10:21 am
support available in the community and that's why it's for governments to act do have some recommendations for these communities to to move past this to develop other ways of helping these people governments to be a feeling to provide community based support that's what's the most important is to tackle the stigma head on to ban shackling and totally to provide community support which is not just limited to mental health services but includes access to housing education employment that would enable people with mental health conditions to try in their communities. briefly if you could create what about the pandemic get the lock downs how have they been affecting the situation. could 19 has been a real threat. who was shackled including those living in institutions you have to
