here in the russian capital. news this hour a 1st for you then the world health organization is now warning of a potential pandemic as cases of the deadly coronavirus spike across europe and asia. and south korea have now emerged as infection hotspots. this is a time for all the countries communities i mean lease and individuals to focus on preparing. we do not believe in a binary black and white world it's not either or we must focus on containment why do we have everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic it's only has now quarantines around

a dozen towns in the north of the country after more than 200 cases and 7 confirmed deaths in neighboring countries according to emergency meetings to discuss precautions to stop the spread of the virus with concerns that freedom of movement across the e.u. should be temporarily suspended here's our europe correspondent peter all over. tens of thousands of people a lockdown in quarantine in north and it's only because of the virus with one of the fundamental freedoms the freedom of movement taking a hit. going to.

train services between italy and austria were temporarily suspended and in france the right wing of politics that is saying that that country's border with italy should be closed and given the mood i would prefer to do too much and rather than not enough. perhaps closing the borders is necessary if the epidemic is out of control in italy rumania which has a significant proportion of its citizens living and working even if sleep that owns the 2 week quarantine period for anyone returning from that country romania might be more exposed to coronavirus cases on the national territory these measures are similar to the ones taken by the italian authorities government officials insist that closing the borders remains an issue of last resort not only because of the

impact it would have on public morale but also it would be very bad for business a present there are absolutely no grounds for pursuing a suspension of the schengen treaty will you a better measure to take to contain the infection there are no circumstances under which this would not have a devastating impact on our economy and then what we want to do it italy turn it into a quarantine facility. closing the borders would make no sense as a secular nation no the virus is not just limited to administer the borders we asked people what they thought about borders and whether they should remain open i see i maybe that's the only way to stop that i i don't care if it's scary to be contained for sure but i'm not sure completely closing everything is the right answer if there was a close polish then we're looking at a good thing that we're starting to look at a pandemic you trust in the government study you know it's not necessary to close

the borders and enter into a crisis when everyone is afraid and live in paranoia i think that we need to continue to live as we leave before so many times just sit with them closing the borders is quite problematic especially when thinking about trade another thing we should wait for more serious cases it is better to introduce border controls even within the e.u. if the virus gets in we will have problems but i think it was necessary need to lee to take measures in advance but it's a real unsurety about. to do about the coronavirus among people on the streets here year up with most hoping that national governments. peter all of. it's being called a trial for journalism around the world has julian assange and his us extradition hearing enters day 2 in london in a few hours the wiki leaks co-founder is currently being held in a top security prison and he's wanted in america on espionage and hacking charges the australian whistleblower could face 175 years behind bars if found guilty in

cases if the united states is going to revoke the extradition treaty between the u.s. as it's done here then you know the united kingdom needs to stand up and both countries need to abide by the extradition treaty so you know we are very clear working you know doing our best to work with the u.k. government. to make sure that the decision that the united states has made it's not actually this is not accepted but we are in the middle of a diplomatic standoff it's one of the darkest moments. in the u.s. u.k. relationship. u.s. democrats are urging the white house to impose additional sanctions on russia including president putin it follows meddling claims ahead of november's presidential election with moscow accused of helping candidates from both parties. a letter from congressional democrats was presented a centrally calling for more sanctions to be imposed on russia in response to

allegations of russia trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election which will take place in november. we urge you to immediately draw upon the reported conclusions of the intelligence community to identify and target for sanctions all those determined to be responsible for ongoing elections interference including president putin the government of the russian federation any russian actors determined to be directly responsible and those acting on their behalf or providing material or financial support for their efforts now as you heard the letter or even called for directly sanctioning the russian head of state russian president vladimir putin now we know that these new allegations about the upcoming election are can be traced back to shelby pearson now shelby pearson is a an intelligence community figure in the united states who is basically at this point the top election security official and she testified before the u.s.

house of representatives intelligence committee about allegations that russia is somehow planning to meddle in the 2020 vote for the purpose of making sure that donald trump is reelected did you see that i see these ponies these that do nothing democrats they said today that cotton wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy now much of shelby is claim has been disputed and debunked by other figures in the u.s. intelligence community furthermore in the aftermath of this claim from shelby pearson that russia is meddling for the purpose of reelecting trump we now have allegations that russia is meddling for the purpose of electing a u.s. senator bernie sanders from vermont so russia is at this point being accused of taking 2 different sides in the upcoming vote however russia has been very adamant that this is simply not true the russian government officials have been very

adamant that they are not trying to interfere in the u.s. voting process the russian federation does not interfere in another country's internal political process. we appeal to politicians to stop playing blame game it is especially striking how political forces in washington are exploiting this myth for their opportunities to gain making totally ungrounded and fictitious russia link tell the gay chanson against each other is becoming a better american political tradition now in 2016 there were widespread allegations of a russian meddling russian collusion in the us election process those allegations continued after the election there was a long investigation and much of what had initially been said was debunked the facts simply didn't add up it wasn't true but regardless of everything the united states has been through and all the allegations that have been hurled and debunked in the last 4 years it seems like now as the 2020 vote approaches and in november once again the united states will be going to the polls to determine who will be

president it seems that allegations about russia will once again be surfacing and this will be once again part of the election process in determining who will be the president of the united states for the following 4 years political analyst out of sundra bruno told me that blaming russia suits both parties. blaming russia is convenient for both parties because that way they can avoid speaking about real problems and real issues policy none of the parties are speaking about policy in fact. put any. blame for whatever outcome in the election russia that's the only logical reason that i could come up with these stories to be. resurfacing again after they failed so so badly over the past 3 years of this story. that we've had.

30 people including 10 children have been injured after a car slammed into a carnival procession in germany the driver's been detained and the authorities are investigating. look at. that you had car care not costumers on the wall street was taking part in the parade and for whatever reason this car managed to drive into the crowd in the group of people who were in the trajectory of the car but there were many injured saying god there were no doubt people. for the whole thing is unbelievable for the pain is very strong and dimensions of being. online retail giant amazon has come under scrutiny

for one of its new t.v. shows on its video streaming platform prime the series called hunters has been labeled foolish for its depiction of the holocaust the auschwitz memorial criticized the corporation for inventing a human chess game where the nazis killed jewish death camp in the eights while they stand on the squares of an oversized chessboard the memorial called it a dangerous foolishness and caricature that serious features the nazi hunters in the 1970 s. who tracked down hundreds of escaped nazis who fled to the us. you know. people like go say been. in the stone and they. both come to think. the show's creator david vile who is the grandson of a holocaust survivor defended the chassis saying that made up

a human to. yes game was created on purpose to counteract the revisionist narrative that whitewashes nazi perpetration. previously come under fire for using the holocaust topic rather dubiously the company sold t. shirts with a photo of a nazi executing on its platform and christmas decorations depicting the outfit to death camp both products were pulled however many others are still on sale history central editor newsweek columnist mark shulman believes that amazon has to take a social responsibility. this 1000000 jews were killed in addition millions and millions others were killed as well you can't take away from the fact the horrors that auschwitz was all those things i think you cannot and should not do but accompany this big it has to take a social responsibility and i think it has to be careful i think there are 1000000 cell is now on amazon now can they pull lease all 1000000 sellers yes they could but requires tremendous effort and they don't do enough of that amazon worries mostly about its profits like any big corporation and they have to be responsible

for making sure that they don't allow things on their platform that are problematic reserving the holocaust fears in naziism and other areas as well obviously other hateful areas. this year will mark the 75th anniversary since the victory of fascism in the 2nd world war and in a special project r.t. tells the stories of veterans from all around the world and they want to hear from you here's one of our heroes. going to live for support or do you push each other. to be easy to look me. not. to do. and to do the most.

by. the money doesn't go to your. younger. good. the bible. to look for new or more. you look at book. 30. you see kids when we kill the book. will do shoot to kill you off. most of you think. you're going to have good damon did you still. mostly also will.

feel assured o.e.d. just a true 00. this is all t. for moscow on the way i'm going to merkel's christian democrats suffered one of the worst ever election results we'll get into that for you in 90 seconds. the point is should we actually be charging for education because this is when we charge for things it's because it's been a benefit to the person who's buying it and that's the audiology that took over education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit for society in general i wouldn't want to live in a society without doctors or engineers all saw it as what happened without economists. saying it of being

a profit benefit ignoring the public means that we're ignoring that the skill bias we need for a sophisticated society and putting the burden of that skilled biases on the individuals what we turned it into is just now the china institution of higher education become a form of a version of a real estate scam that is not devices for a functional saudi. so this seems wrong when all. just. to see. is the answer. and it against me equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart we cease to look for common ground.

welcome back the german chancellor's christian democrats have suffered a devastating blow in state elections in hamburg with support for the party plunging to a meager 11.2 percent the c.d.u. finished in a distant 3rd behind the social democrats in the greens leaving its leaders in disarray. i will get straight to the boards and not beat around the bush it is a big day for the german c.d.u. it's a historically bad election result for the c.d.u. in hamburg. with popular support for the c.d.u. slipping german media have mockingly dubbed the party the chaotic demoralized union arguing that it's suffering its deepest crisis in 2 decades of the union's woes of being compounded further by this month's announcement that it's leader and a great crowd carabao it will resign once the replacements found she was once seen as zeigler merkel's hunt picks excessive for the chancellorship so the moves raising doubts about the political course being charted by both the party and the

country we asked political commentator stephen meissner just how dire the situation is for germany's christian democrats. it's looking pitch black for the c.v. you. basically seems to have missed out on your exit time when the whole game is starting to fall apart right before very eyes she is in the process of destroying the city you are it's i would place this whole disaster basically firmly on her shoulders she's not left enough time for a successor to really move in and fill her boots and take over their place themselves in some experience and place themselves in a position to be able to fight their little and win an election in 2021 so she's just not left enough room for people and she's missed her exit point basically she's really missed it. british m.p.'s have been left red faced and angered by the pentagon after the us military revealed a do nuclear deal to the world before informing u.k. lawmakers of the big relief. britain under johnson increasingly looks like party in

trump's hands to britain's major defense decisions are being debated in the united states but not in the u.k. is a scandal. quite astonishing story even more so than we learn about it from the pentagon which raises its own questions the sooner the sovereign keep ability scrapped the better. you case nuclear program called trident it's the according question and it's expected to be given a multi-billion dollar upgrade established back in 1900 washington helps maintain and support the british nuclear missiles with submarines and warheads being manufactured by the u.k. itself however the british side isn't happy with the early release of the upgrade. we have a strong defense relationship with the u.s. and will continue to remain compatible with the u.s. trident missile an announcement about the u.k.'s replacement warhead program will be made in due course for questions in particular the need to be put to the u.k.

government in this regard for instance a word to the united states who ordinance that will order the serial numbers or do so for the trident rockets themselves or missiles themselves well they give all those serial numbers to the united kingdom if it's going to be a joint endeavor to build the actual warheads a well a donald trump agreed to the op well borris believe of dawdle says it is given up the serial numbers maybe even more importantly from an american perspective while the senate although a senate armed services committee may elven a us president gives up the serial numbers to warheads that they have been involved in and building it to a foreign state whoever jordan's the serial numbers on the access codes and that's an important factor that needs to be teased out. of your attitude for now next

where in northern ireland where residents recall a particularly chilling chapter during the troubles and of living in deadly fear of the british army in the seventy's. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to be right to be for us as a white woman for 3 of them or 10 people that. i'm interested in the waters in the . west should. nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. . and people of demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's

a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people of this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways a struggle. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. high salacious community. are you going the right way or are you being led

so. direct. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. in the shallows. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only a silly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. the crown of virus now has proven this point because even though all the while long
