growing number of. other thanks for joining. the car of a leading german right wing politician has been destroyed in an arson attack the. chair of the alternative for germany party's burden wing was set on fire in the capitol incident reportedly anstey the growing violence against lawmakers across the country house attacks and beatings over the. ports. this street is the scene of what is potentially the latest in a growing number of politically motivated crimes in germany this time it's all the car the politician nicholas faced go up in flames last night a car caught fire in charlottenburg the firefighters extinguished the blaze but

could not save the car because of the suspicion of a possible political motivation we're handing the investigation over to a specialist unit faced as a member of the european parliament for the anti immigration alternative that germany party he's pretty adamant of who he thinks is behind this. neither the air of day nor i will back down in the face of left wing radical violence the other party should end their own object to smear campaigns against the i.d.f. they a.f.d. is a polity have a polarizing effect on german public opinion their anti immigrant stance and deliberately provocative statements from so members the scene that rising in the polls and slammed by their rivals party which tolerates far right extremists and let's call a spade a spade not since em on its ranks. is a racist and nationalist a military spotty. party which is openly nationalist they are against foreigners

and they have members who are close to being fascists the cochairman of a day even it paled to all journalists and politicians to tone down their rhetoric against the policy after a rise in the number of violent incidents. it's not just politicians from controversial policies that a facing up to the prospect of attack in germany 2019 so well over

a 1000 politically motivated attacks on politicians with a recent poll of masm the country saying a large number of them had been insulted muscles as well simply threatened with quite a few saying they being beaten or spots us in 25th. independent mayor of cologne henrietta wreckage narrowly survived an assassination attempt by isn't a full of extremists who stabbed him in the neck the day before the election the attack was motivated by wreckers pro refugee stance last june seeing it see the politician fall to live was shot dead at his home in central germany a far right nationalist with possible links to if he is facing trial for his murder the government has called for an increase in security for politicians serving the public who are increasingly finding themselves in the line of fire peter all of our

r.t. . i can speak now to the man who's at the center of that story he's a car with set on fire nicholas best joins me live now and nicholas just take us through the the attack on your property tell us what happened. oh i was in brussels actually yesterday morning the police called told me that my car had been. set on fire 2 in the morning and there was really damaged i mean it's actually burnt down and only the. part of the car still intact but i mean you know you can't use it anymore so there was a. corona virus i am now back in berlin because i decided to close down. to restrict it on just on a very limited service so i returned yesterday. went this morning to

look for my car and saw what you fear already what you have already shown in your pictures we sort of quote quote there from the berlin plaything that they're investigating whether or not this was politically motivated attack yourself seem to be convinced that is the case why do you think. because i mean i'm not the 1st victim of this kind of arson attacks. beatrix punished all at once a victim and so on and so on numerous. speaker one of the one of the party speakers it was just last week his car was attacked and i mean this is really the signature. of the anti far and therefore it's pretty clear although they haven't really up to no they haven't claimed this as an attack yet but it's clear that behind this attack stance

and far have you experienced support from fellow politicians from the media what's the reaction being. reaction is as always if it if someone from the. attacked there is some media coverage but nothing in favor and. you know it's more or less the impression that the media gives as long as well. you are yourself responsible what has happened because of the alleged hate speech the 50 is accused of and which is ridiculous but. so yes of course i get a lot of support from. party members but none from the other parties as i understand there have been a tax on politicians from other parties as well it's not just the f.d.a. that's the case what's going on as the that is the case but i hardly i

don't think that any of their cars were attacked i don't think any of the houses were attacked i mean just on the same day on the same night house of another. member of the of the german parliament. no coolio was attacked. so we have this on a more or less we keep basis while members of other parties undetected all so i mean whenever the car set on fire or the the apartment or house of. attacked you can be sure this is an attack against a if. they tried to they tried to to bully not only us but also people who. are here who are letting their apartments to members of the

who are letting. go and taking out. places where we can meet. and so that many of these owners are in the meantime afraid to go to ground any. any places. 50 because they fear retaliation by anti for this is becoming a common occurrence of politicians being subjected to violence expressed in various forms what's what needs to be done. i think we should i mean i don't really see that. i mean there are some remarks which are very questionable but. there are many other remarks from the other sides as well i think what you know as. 2 party leaders is right both sides should. lay down their weapon and we.

regard each other not. but. democratic partners with very different opinions go on to it but in a democracy to. come to terms even with the people with the with members of parties which games you do not support. the class appreciate your time could speak to my guest in class fest from the alternative for germany party thank you very much. as corona virus continues to spread across the globe a junior british health minister has been diagnosed with covidien 19 meanwhile scientists from a london lab proposed to in fact volunteers for money in the world's 1st test on humans. we can announce that we have commenced the development of the world's 1st commercial human coronavirus challenge study model also known as control human infection model we are pleased to be able to try and ceased in the battle against

coded 19. the study will in fact $24.00 people with 2 strains of corona virus similar to cope with 19 but causing milder symptoms the scientists try to develop a vaccine to stop the outbreak volunteers will be paid as much as 3 and a half 1000 pounds from doctors will break up their 2 weeks of isolation we have people around london if they'd agree to be infected. now our current if i was younger. but i'm going to go to one second. you know say i haven't worked for months and i really need money. i don't know 10000. too much. into my so i mean i won't die from it but i hope that i'm not even tightly complaints to the

statistics behind it is true anyway oh why not if i get infected twice to get twice as much at the age of $71.00. because i have one's own health conditions why would i if you have no. real thing seriously. now seriously now. i mean you know if you know people. think we're going to be changed do you think if you're healthy and. people here. are safe house for my son who's much younger. i think at the beginning i thought people were over i think so you know understand like how serious it was but when i heard like schools were being closed how many people prospect of dust when i realized ok this is actually serious in

a sense serve my fitness scaremongering people for most people to sentiments are more like until yesterday i was thinking people were over reacting today i'm starting to realize that i've got to take it seriously course you have to like. be taking care of it didn't like wash your hands and stuff but otherwise i feel it's. it's just too much i don't know we spoke to viral or just 101 year about whether voluntary infection tests could help develop a vaccine. vaccine the one drawing that you recommended to buy to be special and the polder to eat locally have to be tested in less demanding more and then any human were demonstrated that they all same sort of coronaviruses that don't claim to be tested and eyeing in volunteers they ought to be close to their code at 19 so this means that this vaccine if it is successful it would have no protection

against a group of 90 anything that is tested in volunteer homes that somebody is however based on their animal studies the overall race would be meaningless and the hope is that that if that state policy is done there is a hole that this vaccine would be deployed in the next which is a broad scale testing me just say stupid. talking coronavirus until they go well after the break.

what is the difference between embarrassing and elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the victim of the latter we're told dimension of mental health is limits to what degree is the public the right. head of the central bank christine legarde has warned the risks an economic shock

unless leaders act urgently against coronavirus global stock markets have already suffered record falls in recent days the situation's been aggravated by the biggest collapse in the oil price in the early nineties the saudi arabia steps up its war for control of crude sales. takes a look at what could come next. 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong the subject that has dominated the news all week. the corona virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge spike in cases 3 prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched an oil price markets are getting punched in the face a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isn't so bad i mean cheaper fuel truck seems to think

it's good. good for the consumer gasoline prices coming down so here's my question what's the point of cheap fuel when you can't drive or fly anywhere because of an epidemic because of coron team al lines are clearly not going to stock up on kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience less demand as traveling goes down that is going to be one of the factors that will likely keep b. or cries depressed now you are starting to get by we the whole world is facing catastrophe it isn't just one problem it's many and they feed each other they multiply each other 1st the airlines suffer fuels cheap but no one's flying anywhere no one travels tourism collapses meaning millions of people lose income if millions stop making money they stop buying stuff so the factories shut down

meaning more people lose jobs and so on of course we have the impact of the crisis which is made by the corona virus spreading around europe italy we have just seen it and then of course the. situation with oil which is a bit complicated and so far i've never seen anything like this backed it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now will we get to the crux of it think a little trip back to 2008 he is a graph showing the u.s. debt market in 20082 trillion it collapsed because bankers high on greed gave out loons to people to buy houses that they couldn't afford we hope that least that they had learned their lesson watch what they did next since then they've loaned out 3 and a half times as much the us shale industries they're now selling oil cheaper than

it costs them to. produce the adeline's with no passing just the hotels with no guests the business is with new clients in 2008 the world's economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed that house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have had the 1st that worst drop in oil price in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even the dow jones and greedy posted with their worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts debt relief but the loonie worked for a while and dr that well they'll be no point in padding because it will be too late. former us vice president joe biden has clinched big wins in the latest round of primaries for the democratic party presidential

nomination for all those who have been knocked down all those have been counting left behind this is your campaign. just over a week ago many of the pundits declared to this. now are very much in line. biden well in michigan and missouri 3 delegate rich states which the son does have picked up in 26 thing led to him being presented by some media as the candidate best placed to beat double trump in november as killable put explains the democrat party establishment seems to already made up its mind despite a growing number of by. the race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and it's pretty clear where the bets are going there on joe biden the good guy it's time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me that joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person i've ever met he is

just a good guy and why not have a good guy in the white house after all for the past 3 years the media has been working very hard to convince everyone that pure evil has overtaken the u.s. presidency but it doesn't take very deep digging to discover that you can rub off joe biden's good guy shine take a look at how he insulted detroit assembly plant worker who questioned his views on gun rights. he also has hinted that he believes that race and intellectual ability are somehow connected poor kids are just as brady just as towns white kids on top of that he is known to just make things up and say things on the fly that have absolutely no connection to reality we choose unity over division we choose science over fiction we choose truth over facts and a lot of ways joe biden sounds an awful lot like donald trump let's see if americans can tell them apart i bet you're as bright as you are good looking. that's actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts.

it's actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids by the way. and actually biden and you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. it's got to be true and actually biden also the narrative is supposed to be that donald trump is a big mean bully and joe biden is a lovable adorable grandpa with good intentions and he's supposed to be way better than that wild eyed radical bernie sanders except don't you remember how recently everyone was bashing joe biden i just think biden is declining i don't think he has the energy and he has been a skilled debater we saw him with sarah palin we've seen him in the past the question is does he still have his job and astronomy and is he how sure are busy can you imagine that man in a presidential did by we don't know trump there's not enough popcorn in the world

to do is how subtly biden inserts obama into every possible answer having significant mental faculties issues is everyone ok with biden being president of the united states when he's having difficulty remembering the name of you know politicians that he'd be dealing with on a regular basis but now we are told that opposition to joe biden is a russian plot the kremlin's english language media aim to influence americans on the home tough act if he promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording trump's efforts to investigate his heating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd tom claimed that biden is called to be unraveling on some eyes that allegations of corruption are doing real damage to his presidential bid now the race is getting heated as the field has narrowed so the question is now will joe biden be able to

keep that good guy image when it's time to start taking shots at bernie sanders. r.t. new york. we spoke to. who told us that biden success may not be as spontaneous as it seems. in the beginning of this whole race i mean biden was coming forth then you know you know the democratic party says that everybody you're going to do this everybody will be the corporate media also starts to say all this negative noise about kerry i think what's happening now is very interesting this is usually what the democratic party does is they pick their annoying to do and they do everything to rig the entire environment they're annoyed to get it it gets all the support and looks like there are sort of a white horse that coming to save the american people you see this kind of orchestrated think we are close to jet blue over everybody kinds of everybody falls in line to support biden who's kind of the chosen one i think when you when you

have so much of that norway's it's very hard for the american public to kind of see through that. the mayor of the world's cannabis capital is mulling a ban on tourists for what officials say is its most popular attraction marijuana want to show duplicate reports from amsterdam. the dutch are often hailed as being progressive particular when it comes to soft drugs now amsterdam is a hot spot for kind of base to lure ists with significant numbers coming here to try the drug vending coffee shops as a tourist coming to the city what do you think this city is famous for the coffee shops. i think for most tourists it's like well known things like. we term stuff like that wait wait it's hash. more than $17000000.00 visits

every year putting a huge strain on the city of around a 1000000 people the situation is so bad that the mayor of amsterdam is actually considering banning tourists from buying kernis this briefing from the highlights the issues it says 65 percent of foreign tourists come to sudan to use cannabis and visit the coffee shops and almost hot food be less likely to visit again if bought if the marriage bans it what sort of impact do you think that will have will they come up with a not come from the people still. but often as many people now it's one of the main reasons people do people who come will enjoy their time a little less so maybe they won't come back everybody is common here for the coffee shops if the murder is going to stop the coffee shops juries would stop coming to amsterdam but the survey also showed a more worrying impact the to ban could have some 40 percent of respondents said

that if they were put britain they would find another way to buy the drug this should be perhaps a major concern for a city that is already struggling to deal with the darkest side of the drug industry and point a recent report called attention to the city's problems with hard drugs violent crime and human. trafficking based on sewage research cocaine consumption must represent a turnover value of at least $75000000.00 euros but there are limitations to that research subversive crime can take many forms such as human trafficking and labor exploitation environmental crime arms trafficking illegal gambling and health care fraud it's believed amsterdam's coffee shops are aiding and abetting the ugliest side of the city's drug business now there are allegations that the coffee shops and sells deal back door with organized crime gangs and some being used to normal

criminal money the man has cooled for a crackdown it could be suppression of mockers between hard drugs and some drugs has a greater urgency because of the trade and hard drugs while many cities around the world are looking to coffee this dutch cities toller and model i'm so damn itself may move away from its long standing policy questioning whether the experiment has any contributed to drug and crime problems so much even ski for all to see in amsterdam. the bridge right up today will be back with the best for you with offer no. one else to show seemed wrong. why don't we just don't call. me.

yet to seep out just the attic and it gets rid equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i mention are times you were going underground as amid an international coronavirus crisis the u.k. government unveils a budget just weeks after pm boris johnson fired his own finance minister coming up on the show is it too late to pump money into health infrastructure devastated by

the tory austerity that followed the 2008 western economic crash or is britain's new liberal epidemic of inequality killing off the poorest too quickly we speak to economist guy standing who is set to advise a jeremy corbin government if we did one that december's general election and we are asking the author of why nations fail british economists james robinson if the u.k. chancellor should today be looking to communist china for tips on reviving britain's economy plus we ask a former u.k. home office minister why a pandemic hasn't yet been declared in britain and who really stands to gain from vaccine research funded by taxpayers money all the support coming up in today's going underground 1st today marks britain's 1st budget since leaving the world's largest trading bloc the e.u. the headlines are awash with government funding to deal with the u.k.'s recent flooding and soaring rates of coronavirus but what about the poorest in our society 14000000 of whom live in paul.
