3:02 am

services between italy and austria were temporarily suspended and in france the right wing of politics there is saying that that country's border with italy should be closed and given a model i would prefer to do too much rather than not enough perhaps closing the border is necessary if the epidemic is out of control in italy each year on foot we can harbor a very serious concerns that there are people in france who might have a virus so i request precautionary measure the idea in my letter to the prime
3:04 am
minister i mention all measures of reinforce the border control. china italy disfranchise control its borders no it doesn't an effective action plan however involves controlling entry from risky or contaminated areas let's have national borders once and for all rumania which has a significant proportion of its citizens living and working in italy for that i will stick to we quarantine period for anyone returning from that country romania might be more exposed to corona virus 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 a measure 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 president there absolutely no grounds for pursuing a suspension of the schengen treaty it would be
3:05 am
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 it italy turn it into a quarantine facility. but 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. see i maybe that's the only way to stop that i don't. carry 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
3:06 am
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 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. peter all of. it being called a trial for journalism around the world as junior scientists u.s. extradition hearing enters day to london 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 a day one of the hearing lasted for 6 hours here a sketches from the court because filming inside is banned while outside protesters gather to support inside defense lawyers argue that the case was politically
3:07 am
motivated while the prosecution claimed that whistleblowers actions endangered lives julian assad's father insists his son's actions harms no one. chose the many straws that had to be. released why aren't we discussing the harm that was released there was revealed by the releases of. 2011 why aren't we here talking 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 in a courtroom in this country and in america. hiding their voices to get society's extradition blocked is the family of a british teenager who was killed in a road accident last august parents say the u.s. 1st needs to hand over the woman suspected of killing their son she's the wife of an american diplomat and has admitted driving on the wrong side of the road she
3:08 am
fled the u.k. shortly afterwards claiming diplomatic immunity and despite requests from the british government washington says it will not agree to her extradition but one family's lawyer accuses the u.s. of rank hypocrisy. whilst america is. protecting her harbor and the person who's accused of killing her and done they have no business calling pretty extradition of anybody from the united kingdom it is it is it is what they're trying to find out where is this just discussed in congress the cases are completely different but the over the principle of reciprocity routes all extradition cases if 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.
3:09 am
government. to make sure that the decision that the united states has made to not actually that's a 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. relationship. u.s. democrats are urging the white house to impose additional sanctions on russia including president clinton it follows meddling claims ahead of november's presidential election with moscow accused of helping candidates from both the main 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
3:10 am
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 3 they said today that he 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.
3:11 am
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
3:12 am
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 that 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 that 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. of apologized off the leaflets linking alcohol consumption to write romany circulated in belfast the incident triggered an angry backlash in the city with many accusing the force of participating in a culture of victim blaming the flies claimed many sexual abuse cases happened when people are drunk and outlined ways individuals can protect themselves the police
3:13 am
service says the leaflets have been discontinued and it's investigating why they were distributed in the 1st place it also stressed the right victims fault but that wasn't good enough for many. this lyfe lat 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 that the lesson had been learned police need to step away from the complaining these leaflets rebirths that deal the police can you please get some don't be a message and stop attacking women leaflets to distribute please how can you prevent a crime you routinely fail to understand with this victim blaming nonsense well earlier we discussed the fallout of a controversial flyer with former british police officer peter kirk a women's rights activist pala diallo. 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
3:14 am
rape but please don't blame him 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 sure 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 the case you know so this is a common sense thing for everyone as i said that you don't shouldn't connect this to rape in order to prevent rape you should go in target man who are violent let's say these loud and clear you keep asking for things that are effectively the moon
3:15 am
on the street how can the police go and find a rapist before they post and persuade them not to be right pissed it simply isn't the parson of violence there is a part of violence you knew know that i was old enough to police intervene in their efforts and 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 up 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. climbing that the other party is lying there is no grounds for expert. players and i will service in all of northern ireland are lying when they say these were old
3:16 am
leaflets but some are through some mistake which will undoubtedly turn into some jury of administrative error. be to us why why you what grounds of you've got to say in the police service of northern ireland the lawyering and that's basically what you're doing it's not because every family every this town's like an excuse i'm sorry i'm in what you should be responsible for what your printer 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 to give us some kind of you know for more information see if it's true we men they have to be louder and louder because unfortunately people in the society of politicians are the policemen they only here are if we are allowed to be allowed by all means but be accurate. on the way you have a new amazon online drama series has branded dangerous over its depiction of the holocaust reports among all stories after this.

hit by this corona virus or couvade 19 as they call it and it kind of reminded me when looking at the world health organization refusing to call it a pandemic even though the entire like 790 people are under quarantine in china people all over the world and these cruise ships getting up quarantined with hundreds of people infected on it not a pandemic just like the fed whatever they've been doing since september it's not q.e. so we're not printing money we're not quarantining a huge percentage of the global population i think it was 10 percent of the global population was at one point at least under quarantine and max keiser at his new twitter handle real max keiser he tweeted coronavirus proves global economy died in 2008 and has been kept animated with money printing this hasn't been clear until now and supply lines stop and shops empty but markets go higher on
