the idea of a traditional just. power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways the struggle. the surgeon coronavirus cases in europe and asia has stoked fears of a pandemic after a wave of confirmed patients in italy neighboring countries are now questioning the open borders. the grieving british family played with the government not to extradite julian assange has his hearing heads into day 2 they say he should be freed until their teenage son the suspected killer who fled back to the u.s. faces justice in the u.k. we hear from the lawyer. only a little bit. this is one of the darkest moments. in the u.s. u.k. relationship. and demanding sanctions. with the us democratic party in disarray calls emerge from within its ranks to penalize the russian president over claims of

election meddling moscow says stop the blame game. and i want to say here in moscow my name calling for a welcome to world news from r.t. international 1st the world health organization is warning of a potential pandemic as cases of the deadly coronavirus spike across europe and asia italy iran and south korea have now emerged as infection hotspots. this is a time for all countries communities i release and individuals to focus on preparing. we do not believe in a binary black and white world it's not either that all we must focus on containment why do we have everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic. italy has quarantined

a dozen towns in the north of the country after more than 200 cases and 7 confirmed deaths neighboring nations have called emergency meetings to discuss preventing the spread of the virus with concerns that freedom of movement across the e.u. should be suspended here's our europe correspondent peter oliver. tens of thousands of people a lot down in quarantine and north and it's only because of the virus with one of the issues fundamental freedoms the freedom of movement taking a hate. going to.

train services between italy and austria were temporarily suspended and in from it's 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 fully so that i was 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 only because of the

impact it would have on public morale but also it would be very bad for the business. a president there absolutely no grounds for pursuing a suspension of the schengen treaty it would be a draconian 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 with italy turn it into a quarantine facility. closing the borders would make no sense as the circulation of the virus is not just limited to administrative 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 very scary to be contained for sure but i'm not sure completely closing you're seeing is the right answer if there was a closed borders 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 her 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 i mean it's just closing the borders is quite problematic especially when thinking about trade and other things we should wait for more serious cases it is better to introduce border controls even within the if the virus gets in we will have problems i think it was necessary need to leave to take measures in advance but it's a real unsurety about what to do about the coronavirus among people on the streets here in europe with most hoping that national governments have come and peter all of. this being called a trial for journalism around the world is julian assange and his u.s. 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 is wanted in america on espionage and hacking charges the australian whistleblower could face 175 years behind bars if found guilty in the

u.s. after publishing classified intelligence data and they want to be hearing lasted for 6 hours here a sketches from the court with a band outside protesters gathered in support of lawyers for both sides laid out their arguments on monday with the defense arguing the case is politically motivated and the prosecution clue. i mean the whistleblowers actions endangered lives. father insists his son's actions want. me to. chose the many straws. being. the release why aren't we discussing the harm that was released there was revealed by the release of. 2011 why aren't we here talking in court about the war crimes yes as a nation of innocent civilians by the military the slaughtering of reuters journalists that is why we should be talking about courtroom in this country and in america meanwhile the family of a british teenager who was killed in

a road accident last august according for us and his extradition to be blocks parents say the u.s. 1st needs to hand over the woman suspected of killing her son she's the wife of an american diplomat and as admitted driving on the wrong side of the road but she fled the u.k. shortly afterwards claiming diplomatic immunity despite requests from the british government washington says it will not agree to her extradition the done family's lawyer accuses the u.s. of rank hypocrisy. whilst america is. protecting her harbor the person who's a huge. killing her and done they have no business calling pretty extradition anybody from the united kingdom it is it is it is what they're trying to find out where is this just disgusting conduct the cases are completely different but the over the principle of reciprocity runs all extradition cases that the united states is going to revoke the extradition treaty between the

u.s. new case as it's done here then you know the united kingdom needs to stand up to it 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 and to make sure that the decision that the united states has made it's not actually good 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. the relationship. you have 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 sensually 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 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 now as you heard the letter 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 . they said today that wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go

these people are crazy now much of shelby's 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 through. federation does not interfere in other country's internal political processes 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 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 alice andro bruno told me the 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 and 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. police are looking into a 2nd potential terror attack in a week after a vehicle slammed into a carnival parade in a small western town injuring around 30 including children a 29 year old man has been detained.

but i was the only had our karen costumers on the wall street was taking part in the parade and for whatever reason this car managed to drive into the group of people who were in the trajectory of the car but there were many injured saying god there were no doubt to be. fooled the whole thing is unbelievable for the pain is very strong mentions of doing battle. police in northern ireland have apologised after leaflets linking alcohol consumption to rape were wrongly circulated in belfast the incident triggered and i agree a backlash in the city with many accusing the force of participating in a culture of victim blaming the flyers claimed that many sexual abuse cases happen when people are drunk and outlined ways individuals can protect themselves the

police service says the leaflets have been discontinued and it's investigating why they were distributed in the 1st place it also stressed that rape victims are never felt but that wasn't good enough for many. this left that is a horrible example of victim blaming from those who are meant to protect the victim this is an issue that has come up again and again and we thought the lesson has been learned police need to step away from victim blaming these leaflets reverse that do you the police can you please get some don't be a massive stop attacking women leaflets to distribute please how can you prevent a crime you routinely fail to understand with this victim blaming nonsense earlier we discussed the controversial fly with a former british police officer and women's rights activist apologia. always the same and the same thing happening again and again we are in 2020 and still with the this is the blaming the victim of rape but please don't imply i'm in right for

anything else what they do do and they have an absolute duty to do is provide people with crime prevention and personal safety advice it would be utterly ridiculous if they didn't shouldn't get drunk come on everyone knows that but why you should put that in these you know in this leaflet why you should connect this to rape that's the bad thing people need to avoid making themselves vulnerable to all sorts of things by drinking so much that they don't understand where they are and what they're doing and we see every friday and saturday night in every town center but this is and has cicadas you know so this is a common sense thing for everyone as i said to you don't you shouldn't connect this to rape in order to prevent rape you should go in target to men who are violent or let's say these loud and clear you keep asking for things that are effectively the moon on the street how can the police go and find a rapist before they been

a rapist and persuade them not to be right past it simply isn't the violence there is a part of violence you knew know that and whether or not your keys are there the police intervene in their efforts or not helped by exaggerated and inaccurate claims by campaigners and i'm sorry i don't agree with him when he says that it's exaggerated i know every time women speak but it's never exaggerated it's finally our voices are heard you know what we have enough we have enough of this culture of this particular culture so we need to be united if you agree with me that if this is a social emergency and i'm talking about sexual abuse and domestic violence we need to find are always working together isn't helped by one party or exaggerates. claiming that the other party is a lying there is no grounds for expect for climb in and i will service in all of northern ireland are lying when i say these were old leaflets but some are through some mistake which will undoubtedly turn into some jury of administrative error bts

why why you what grounds of you've got to sign in the police service of northern ireland a lawyer and that's basically what you're doing it's not helpful because every day every this town's like an excuse i'm sorry i mean what you should be responsible for what you pray into what you put out for how you want to stay over there and also tell us why they're all the way and exactly which year they were written who wrote them so give us some kind of you know for more information see if it's truly t. shirts or the policeman they are only here if we are allowed so we are not exaggerating we're just you know how in the truth and finally our voices are heard so perhaps a lot of people means but we are. a new amazon online drama series is being branded dangerous over its depiction of the holocaust as altie report after this.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. the point is should we actually be charging for it because this is when we charge for things is because it's a benefit to the person who is buying it and that's the audiology 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 but it happened without economists. saying it of being a profit benefit ignoring the public means that we're ignoring that the skill basis we need for a sophisticated society and putting the burden of that school on the individuals

and what we've turned it into is just now the churn institution of higher education become a form a version of a real estate scam that is not the basis for a functional society. welcome back on one giant amazon has come under fire from jewish groups over a new series on its streaming platform. museum describes the show called hunter's as dangerously foolish over its depictions of the holocaust one scene that's been heavily criticized shows a human chessboard of souls which is being slammed to the caricature of nazis killing jewish inmates at the death camp the drama starring up a sentence on the vigilante nazi hunters of the 1970 s. who tracked down hundreds of escaped war criminals who fled to the united states. you know. people like bin. laden and the.

show's creator david vile is the grandson of a holocaust survivor and he's defended the chess scene saying it was deliberately done to counteract the whitewashing of some of the worst atrocities committed by man i was once been called out before they're over selling ethically dubious items a link to the holocaust including t. shirts with a picture of a nazi executing a jewish person and even christmas decorations depicting the outfit death camp both products were removed but other questionable items are still available on its site history central editor a newsweek columnist marc shulman believes amazon has to take more social responsibility. i think that amazon's series may have gone a little bit beyond where i would have been comfortable going as an historian we always have to be careful we have to be careful because the line between documentary history and the line between what a movie maker can make up it's a difficult line it's but a company this big it has to take

a social responsibility and i think it has to be careful if you're a 1000000 seller is now an amazon now can you can they pull lease all 1000000 sellers yes they could but it 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 visa via the holocaust naziism other areas as well obviously other hateful areas. the u.s. president's coming on a 2 day visit to india with washington and new delhi looking to end the trade standoff donald trump is hoping to land a big deals with the country's push to offset china's growing military and economic influence as donor quarter reports. cheering crowds extravagant. caray sions and even camel convoy it was all for donald trump on his visit to india or now must a trump as the onlookers chanted he was given a royal welcome. course

behind all the pretty facades poverty stricken slums don't just go away people living near open sewers with no indoor plumbing of their own garbage everywhere but india's prime minister is trying to make a good impression on the leader of the world's richest country and a good impression he has made america loves india america respects

india and america will be free. i mean people. but relations between washington and new delhi haven't been so good on the trade front back in 2018 the u.s. announced new tariffs on steel and aluminum a year later india was removed from the generalized system of preferences a special trade agreement that exempts u.s. allies from certain economic restrictions the country was even threatened with secondary sanctions for buying a russian made as $400.00 missile system hopes were high for a new trade deal that would have eased some of that friction too bad it seems to have been shelved for now but we could have a trade deal with it but it really saving the big deal for later on would. very big deal with the idea we'll have it i don't know if it will be done before the election but we'll have a very big deal within the us who are in the end to know what adam said also to open up. markets in a big way to the u.s.

that's not possible for those who. gains an emerging market it's a country that dates or goole and large number of people a lot of employed in that group i just checked i us finds in d.s. was his shin a bit dodgy and all but india has its own reasons to add all of those measures because primary instinct for a good politician is to protect the indian market while trump and modi couldn't see eye to eye on trade they had more than enough to agree on concerning war specifically regarding their common enemy china both washington and india have been fighting to curb beijing's regional influence especially its naval presence in the south china sea so trumps ready to seal a 3000000000 dollar defense deal that would equip india with a number of new state of the art helicopters made in the us of

a as we continue to build our defense cooperation the united states looks forward to providing india was some of the best and most feared military equipment on the planet we make the greatest weapons ever made airplanes missiles rockets ships we make the best and we are dealing now with india a lot of people believe that john now you really mean number one because of its. military power and for the us this is agreed to be stool chick china now is growing precedence it leave good notion and believes these helicopters and therefore would be. the use for laden. i'm deeming the sort of drugs that my god i. indian ocean rack jite now has. more than a decade green. grass seed. making pasta.
