containment why do we have everything we can to prepare for the potential of pundit week as things stand there's 80000 cases have been confirmed globally and almost 3000 deaths in just a single week south korea has seen a huge increase in infections iran though has the highest number of deaths outside china 15 and am known to have died although one confirmed reports put that figure much higher in europe italy's become the 1st country to be hit with a serious outbreak with more than $200.00 infected there and 7 deaths several towns in northern italy have been sealed off neighboring nations of cold emergency meetings on preventing the spread of the virus and questioning whether the open border policy should be suspended here's our europe correspondent peter all over. tens of thousands of people a lot down in quarantine in northern italy because of the virus with one of the fundamental freedoms the freedom of movement taking a hate. trains

. 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 and rather than not enough perhaps closing

the borders is necessary if the epidemic is out of control in italy each year on for we can harbor a very serious concerns about there are people in france it might have a virus treatment so i regressed to cautionary measure in my letter to the prime minister as i mentioned all measures of reenforces law to control the whole china italy disfranchise control its borders no it doesn't and 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 present there are 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 it 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. 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 you think 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 entire crisis everyone is afraid and live in paranoia i think

that we need to continue to live as we leave before so many. 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 use of 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 europe with most hoping that national governments have come and peter all of. it's being called a trial for journalism around the world it's us extradition hearing enters day 2 in 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 they want to be hearing lasted for 6

a road accident last august i read parents say the united states 1st needs to hand over the woman suspected of killing their son she's the wife of an american diplomat has admitted driving on the wrong side of the road she fled the u.k. shortly afterwards claiming diplomatic immunity and despite a request from the british government washington says it will not agree to extradition the dumb family lawyer accuses the u.s. of rank hypocrisy. whilst america is. protecting her the person who's accused of killing her son they have no business calling pretty extradition anybody from the united kingdom it is it is it is i was trying to find out where this just disgusting color cases are completely different but the over arching principle of reciprocity routes all extradition 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 to the time both countries need to abide by the next edition treaty so you know we are very clear working you know doing your best work you can go let's just make sure that the decision you know states that maybe it's not actually for us this is not started but we are in the middle. about it it's one of the darkest moments. in u.s. u.k. the relationship. german 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 $52.00 including 18 children a 29 year old man has been detained but the authorities say that the motive is still unclear because the suspect is yet to be questioned because of his injuries.

and i was the i had our 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 the. fruits of the whole thing is unbelievable for the pain is very strong dimensions of doing. the place in northern ireland have apologized after leaflets linking alcohol consumption to rape were wrongly 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 flyers claimed that many sexual abuse cases happen when people are drunk and outlined ways that individuals can protect themselves the police service says the leaflets have been discontinued a number of years ago but it is investigating why they were distributed in the 1st

place it also stressed that rape victims are never at fault 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 that the lesson had been learnt 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 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 here we discuss the fallout from the controversial flyer with former british police officer peter go can and women's rights activist pollard diana. always the same and the same thing happening again and again we are in 2020 and still with the blaming the victim of rape but please don't make it simple i'm in right for

anything else what they do and they have an absolute duty today is provide people with 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 the if you know in this leaflet why you should connect this to rape that's the bad thing people need to avoid making themselves vulnerable so all sorts of things by drinking so. i'm going to cut into that and go live to geneva now russia's top diplomat sergey lavrov is about to address the un human rights council chairperson. colleagues. today the world is getting increasingly complicated. which. we see increasing tension building up in the world this is why it's so important to come up with. and ensuring the stain of ball development of humanity

which it is clear that all the. lives of people better responding to the holding the. rushes consistent. all the categories of human rights not just civil and political economic social and cultural rights this is the only way you seem sure the interests of vulnerable social groups. children families with 3 or more children of the elderly disabled one employed little fortune to deal with situation with instructive comprehensive rationing to ensure that your rights are held as being stonewalled by the west. universal norms of international law. the world order. basic social economic rights are ignored while political rights are being aggressively promoted from a liberal angle we hear the rhetoric of i can say shows you're clicking the so-called country specific resolutions more and more often in our good discourse

used as a pretext to meddle in the eternal phase of sovereign states the introduction of an illegitimate sanction of some law for the nonce in an attempt she would topple unfavorable governments which not share these questionable values to the west has imposed on them but these values pay no heed to the cultural and civilisational diversity such vicious practice leads to more confrontational that in the of the day leaves people with less freedom to exercise their legitimate rights but. very often the west has. turned a blind eye to the violations of human rights in ukraine loran education and you know media and countering this information would. simply discrimination in nature. suppress the rides of. minorities and diffract to establish censorship. runs counter to international.

event violate the ukraine's constitution of the. commission in confirmed it has discriminatory nature but the training authorities have not taken any action i believe that the un council on human rights. the pass judgment of these are exceptional situation and would demand an unconditional. respect for human rights of all the ethnic groups without inclusion. again and that that is in line with the. chords that have been approved by the un security council and there is. no alternatives to those arrangements there are other major issues in other countries like the baltic states that have suppressed the freedom of the media and have cracked down any. surprise the rights of ethnic

minorities and there's still this disgraceful phenomenon of citizenship more extremist groups and those that spread the. supremest see what you're. discrimination is in a phobia. we call upon the west to mean flare have a say on. your body now respond so we. hear . references to the human rights freedom of speech freedom of assembly seems that the western democracy giving the green light to the spread of the nazi ideology and. demonstrations with torture is under the bad as of waffen s.s. and that only conniving. human patriot

ideology. we're seeing increasing its to revise the decisions of the nuremberg trials which it was worth while. there are attempts to revise the chems world which civilized. silence. we're seeing more and more monuments little been discredited around the world. believe we are a. take the middle east. christians used to leave here for many centuries right now is their present or even you know disappear the international community and this council your must. put a barrier to the extremists that would be now on the resurgence so far we're seeing it. was intentional or unintentional. but the police would have

put up with. the violence of radical terrorist groups like what we're seeing in need it's not taken care of human rights this is when you were throwing in the wind flag capitulating in the face of terrorists read to you with a trance counter to the universal convention center multiple resolutions of the u.n. security council the police are now we're also seeing similar situation in libya and that has caused a crisis we need to see you fix the root cause. of why the people flee the. homeland we need to promote inclusive dialogue we need to stop foreign interference. and we need to open up a whole the principles in the u.n. charter that i was assured. they need to stop using human rights slogans in

geopolitical games this is the only way to find out what the solutions. people are up until polled their basic rights including the most basic right the right to leave the current challenges. transport. to avoid to fix them we need to support you can even environment of trust and understanding and get rid of double standards. so that the scale of what they must make its own contribution we believe it is the key to ensure duplicitous constructive multitude of multilateral dialogue based on mutual acceptable criteria without our are universally approved. the. it's wrong to impose values the. values of some countries who think. we need to have

a pluralistic dialogue with russia. to put forward its candid. it's going to do to be chairman for the next 2 years. make sure to have consensus approach. we will move away from any confrontation thank you for your attention. the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov speaking at the un human rights council live in geneva. accuse the west of attempts to replace international law also said about countries using liberal rhetoric to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and pose unilateral sanctions and overthrow governments they don't like that conflicts could be economic as much as they can be military the top russian diplomat also called on the un to stop the occasion of naziism in the west which he says is spreading and he also asked the council to stop shutting its site to atrocities by radical

terrorists in a province in syria the last terrorist stronghold so just some of the points raised by the russian foreign minister at the un human rights council in geneva just that . the kremlin has strongly reiterated that russia is not interfering in the u.s. internal affairs democrat state side to be noting the white house to impose additional sanctions on moscow including president putin it follows meddling claims ahead of november's presidential election with russia accused of helping candidates from both main parties. a letter from congressional democrats was presenting sensually calling for more sanctions to be imposed on russia in response to allegations of russia trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential lacks. and 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 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'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 the russian federation does not interfere in other country's internal political process who's we appeal to politicians to stop playing the blame game it's especially striking political forces in washington are exploiting this myth for their opportunities to. making totally. fictitious russia linked against each other is becoming an 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 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. i'm joined amazon is under fire from jewish groups over a new series on the video platform the show is called $100.00 which the auschwitz memorial museum describes as dangerously foolish over its depictions of the holocaust in particular its angry over the scene of a human chessboard of nazis killing jewish inmates at

a death camp which the museum says is a caricature of people suffering the dramas and centers on the vigilante nazi hunters of the 1970 s. who tracked down hundreds of escaped war criminals who fled to the u.s. . you know. people like being be. the show's creator david while it's the grandson of a holocaust survivor has defended the chest scene saying that it was deliberately done to counteract the whitewashing of some of the worst atrocities committed by a man. called out before for allowing ethnically dubious items linked to the holocaust to be sold on its website including t. shirts with a picture of a nazi executing a jewish person and i was fit themed christmas decorations of both these products were removed but other questionable items are still available history central

editor newsweek columnist mark schulman 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 1000000 cell is now an amazon now can you 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 viz a viz the holocaust naziism and other areas as well obviously other hateful areas ok that's it for me thanks for watching kevin i would get your next update after the boom bust team look at the pounding suffered by global markets over the past 48

a mission here and tell them not to rally a long time and the money raising the nation by economic growth. is rising as a prosperous an independent nation is an example to every day should all over the world and one of the most outstanding achievements of our century. and the u.s. is asking france for a safe haven for u.s. companies in order to help them avoid a european digital tax so what is that about and isn't the digital tax for u.s. companies going to have a live report so much to get to on this very busy day so let's get started and we begin with the coronavirus which is sending shock waves once again worldwide wall street was down today big time and global markets are reacting more on that in detail from kristie in just a minute but right now the cases of corona virus they continue to rise especially in italy iran and in south korea here are the latest numbers on the virus as of
