hello welcome 3 pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now it's not just people that are self isolating the world over because of 19 countries as a whole in fact russia has become the latest to close its borders to foreigners joining the likes of canada the us and others the european union has also restricted access to the book. to limits district of the very speedily we agreed to enforce external borders by closing coordinates temporary wish to action of essential travel to the e.u. folk preview it or so to do this france meanwhile has put the entire country of 67000000 people on what down army trucks have been seen in the streets of paris with large numbers of police officers being deployed to ensure compliance with the

bin secure reports now on the nationwide quarantine. france is now on lockdown strict lockdown that would be in school the government has talked about deploying $100000.00 police officers to set up fixed points to check people who are in their vehicles the word from the government everybody in france is to self isolate president mark warner was incredibly clear when he came to the presidential address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through over and over is the problem is that. we are at war helped war to be sure we are not fighting another army new another nation but the enemies that are invisible and elusive that decision came to the french took the calls to stay at home and self isolate too likely in fact while bolzan restaurants

were being closed all around them and many here in paris came out to the parks to picnic to meet their friends all to sit by the same and do the same but no more. the government has announced new measures to limit new infections by limiting contact between people as much as possible to amplify the impact of this measures paris parks and gardens will be closed. restriction these are really centered around self isolation to people who have been told that they can leave their homes but the very specific reasons that could be to go for a medical appointment it could be to top up on food supplies or it could be to go for a walk for health reasons anybody leaving their property has also been told that they need to have one of the existing practice tests to just state why he'd been leaving

their home for some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool flouting that law or court going out for a walk just socialize with their friends rather than for health reasons could face a fine of up to 135 years. the message is clear stay at home these are containment measures similar to those in spain and italy all persons travelling must be able to justify their movements each person will have to carry a document certifying the reason for his or her journey. another casualty of the new stricter regime is the 2nd round the ring is a collection which will now be postponed but many had already criticised the government for allowing the 1st round to take place while sproles was a partial lockdown. the makris are pushing the limits you do not say to 67000000 french people stay at home for an indefinite period on saturday evening

but then on sunday morning leave your house and put your health and those of others in danger if the health situation got this bad was in thurston today to the point of closing almost all businesses in makes no sense to hold these municipal elections they must be postponed because they cannot be held fairly. holding the municipal elections is completely incomprehensible and contradicts the measures announced by the prime minister i hope that the government will take responsibility and change its mind as the lockdown began or maybe play to the city possibly going to some of the homes here to stay for friends and family anything to not be isolated to give this time but merge it see here in france this idea of self isolation is something that many people fear many people who live below the idea of not having enough social contact face to face for a 15 day period is something that they dreading in fact something else that they

dreading is the fact that the government has said it's a 15 day minimum and that this could be extended but many people here try to just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal charlotte people ski artsy in paris during the long time. it's only remains one of the country's worst hit by the virus health care workers there say that they cannot cope with the impacts of patients and also complain of exhaustion from overwork but we spoke to a nurse in the city of chen's or which is one of the worst affected areas. and which is really on a computer so it into his stomach doesn't stand i'm going to get up while you're driving up there is out. there so we can. enjoy going out ike is a little bit interested i thought a noise was the pretty or doors down will be even going to see what's in it just the sound different. to be an amalgam or

a large amount. of interim in egypt and. this is to sort of be on with downtown atlanta to the biggest one in we all get on camera 72 up quick. to do what i would have here and there still is. and to get out and. get a better man a few put down to get it looking that was a bit directivity time for some. 20 percent of them are near 10 percent of the sawi it would have been. seen live in. meanwhile the regional director for the for europe the world health organization has a nations to take a bolder approach when it comes to tackling the coronavirus pandemic and said that china had set a good example the experience of china and showed that this thing.

called bind with social distancing measures. when put in place quickly and effectively but events in fictions and see lights the spread of the virus in china has been slowed significantly venturing only 13 cases on tuesday a life is returning to normal to an previously hard hit regions lockdowns are being partially lifted and the message to travel there is starting to regime china's antivirus measures which were widely criticised initially are now being adopted globally as dawn quarter explains. remember when only china had to deal with the coronavirus the west had plenty to criticize about beijing's handling of the crisis back then when europe and the us didn't have to get their hands dirty. measures should also be implemented with consideration to the public's willingness to comply

with government control efforts now that the critics are in the same situation that china was in just a month ago it seems like they weren't creative enough to come up with their own solutions after the coronavirus ravaged europe governments across the continent started in forcing locked out people confined to their homes streets virtually empty just like in china at the height of the outbreak the. gathering's family get togethers and social functions will no longer be permitted walking to meet friends in the park or on the streets will no longer be possible any elderly daredevils that venture out of their homes could face hefty fines or even a police baton and all the while militaries across the continent are mobilizing in switzerland it's the biggest since world war 2 and in france army convoys are becoming a regular sight in the suburbs. michael fauntroy. although it's not like they have many places to go the entire european union's closed its

borders anyway and on top of that they'll be under the watchful eye of those dystopian police drones just like the chinese ones that frightened more than a few in the western media the country taking some extraordinary measures to contain this outbreak police are using drones equipped with a public address system to tell people to wear face masks and stay indoors stop the spread of coronavirus and drones are flying up to people in public and yelling at them for not wearing masks in fact we're hearing of mask shortages drones soldiers lockdowns whatever communist china does it the western media loves to call it all off thora tarion ism but what even makes these measures democratic or not at a time of crisis shouldn't people be focusing on which measures are the most effective don't go to that will we discuss the issue with journalist and commentator chadwick moore and also with max he's assistant professor of public

policy at northeastern university in the united states. and showed all crises tend to strengthen the hand of the executive we're seeing a tremendous increase right now in the federal government's power in the united states so there isn't there's even some talk of you know about martial law curfews i think it's terrifying i think it's really disturbing and it's you know there are some constitutional scholars out better that debate whether how constitutional is i think it's it's shocking how easily americans will give up their liberty but that said the u.s. is a democracy in china is an authoritarian country but in carol in terms of the continuum between democracy human and government in the 4 carrying a u.s. government is moving more in the direction of china while still trying to maintain some of our time a credit norms i think that that max is absolutely correct that it we're seeing just how swiftly the state can expand out how it can come in and become more

authoritarian and you know in new york city right now it's a ghost town here and it and you know the mayor wants to quarantine the entire city the governor won't let him know where's the where's the dip coming from it's coming from the hysteria that anik i mean we've got every restaurant and bar and retail store close in our biggest cities where i disagree with my colleague is that i actually do view this threat as extraordinarily severe and and not just scary. but consequential given the nature of the threat it is reasonable for the government to intervene in reasonable ringback ways to try to mitigate that threat particularly by enforcing social distancing so that we don't infect each other needlessly there's an insane amount of panic out there being driven by the media and meanwhile when you listen to the experts when you actually listen to them when you listen to the crowd of ira's task force that they're very

calm they're not freaking out and they give it pretty simple basic instructions to people. well with ever more countries imposing strict quarantine rules millions of people have firms of spending more time at home than usual a prospect not everybody relishes however some stuck at home are not wasting any time either because the spanish couple did exchange marriage vows across windows if you look closely despite their government imposing a state of emergency on their wedding day they didn't cancel the event and the bride even threw a tradition does the man who goes. for the tips now on how to survive the ordeal in her latest way to go. dia diary the last 2 weeks have been a bit surreal it's like we're living in some kind of weird parallel unify us people have returned to that animal instincts now nothing will come between a man and his you pay.

coronaviruses cleared the streets and driven us into our homes i'm not going to lie my main concern was about getting out in the time of corona i mean i know i have to go running in the park like i promised myself i'm the only thing i'm losing at the gym is money but still luckily though there are some fitness fanatics out there who are making sure we all keep moving in these claustrophobic times. but if the idea of exercising and public is your wost nightmare no fear. also this is a powerful time to combine getting to know your neighbor you've been avoiding for years with a hot healthy pursuit. i've also realized it

will give me the opportunity to finally perfect my organizational skills. they do say you should have one task every day to keep you motivated also i did always think i had the potential to be an invaluable member of the quad but you know what the modern wilde's like hurry hurry hurry no time for anything now though there are no excuses. see. them c soon 6 you. who said quarantine couldn't run also for the last stooges among you lot of those hacks trick you teach online and get out of 5 chill plus only for the more

adventurous among you ever wonder what a toilet seat tastes like. apparently she thinks coronavirus is for poor people tom hanks rude monch speaking of the elite if you will mock it and don't want to suffer the humiliation of standing in a queue with hundreds of new roles and you'll try piled up don't worry because i've got you covered this elite ready to go package includes night vision goggles and purify and some with satellite messenger and it will only cost you $5000.00 such a snatch as a bonus to make you look like a pretentious douche bag that you are. i wouldn't miss it there are some downsides to this whole self isolation thing like those tourists who went to spain and such as some rays only to be put in quarantine and realize the sun never actually hit that balkany i am slightly disappointed that my skin will be taking want to

a thump eric toad in the coming months. and with 1000 very high but really on balance it's not so by all those times i want to count them on my friends but struggled to come up with a convincing reason no longer an issue my dislike of standing in places of more than 50 people at a time limit should be banned i've also was hated when people didn't respect my possible space nothing but she how to stand a meter away from me and i haven't forgotten the most important thing i know what a knock down i know we all think a house is a safe from the plague but washing your hands is a must. if the hamster can do it so can you. with the world distracted by the pandemic u.s. lawmakers are hoping to push through a controversial rule that some do say would end previously online critics will that

the u.s. government is trying to unlock graces the violence posed in the guise of fighting the spread of online child abuse imagery has the story. now if you follow the goings on in the u.s. congress you'll know that they often take advantage of moments when big news is happening to slip through controversial legislation and the coronavirus has given them a big ideal opportunity they call it the earn it bill that stands for eliminating abusive rampant neglect of interactive technologies lindsey graham and richard blumenthal have introduced it saying that the aim is to protect children from online sexual predators to goal systems available to the. dream come true for child predators for every good thing this happened with the internet for lack of a better term there are dark forces that need to be dealt with now it's certainly a noble goal no one wants kids to be in danger but this bill could also crack down

on end to end encrypt ship. eliminating the ability of americans to protect sensitive data from hackers criminals the government or their employers essentially the bill holds internet service providers accountable for any information that gets posted by users whether they know about it or not our bill would allow individuals to see you tech companies don't take proper steps to prevent online china exploitation and it's an important step to protect the most vulnerable among us however under this law the only way that internet companies cannot be held liable for what users write in private messages is if they fully comply with government standards standards written by an unelected commission now one of the bill's co-sponsors made very clear where he stands on encryption so facebook. is talking about in the in encryption which means they go blind. we're not going to go blind

and let this abuse go forward in the name of any other freedom sure hyper encryption can be used by criminals sexual predators and terrorists but it's also a protection that americans have against government surveillance voices from across the spectrum from edward snowden to the head of whatsapp are outraged the government is attempting to exploit anger at tech companies to pass a law that intentionally undermines digital security and sense of speech that such a low res being considered by congress is a national disgrace absent clear protections for encryption urn it has the potential to make people less safe not more but reducing the security of the over $2000000000.00 people who use whatsapp to communicate not to mention all the other encrypted services as well the bill deals with a very serious issue of child exploitation on line but it offers no meaningful solutions rather the bills authors have shrewdly use defendant children as the pretense for intact the now of free speech and security online now the bill is yet

to become law but in a situation like this with one big story dominating the headlines will people even notice if it does it look up and r.t. new york bone co-founder of the syphon christian software does think that will make his are using the coronavirus distraction to pull off a power grab or think that the government wants to let any good crisis go to waste so i definitely do think they're trying to take advantage of the fact that people aren't paying as much attention right now and they're distracted by the pandemic and the panic that comes with that and trying to push this through and just say it's a no brainer because it helps children i mean it particularly matters for encrypted because there would be no way 'd 'd to. in fact these best practices that doesn't undermine what and tent encryption does in order to be able to say scan content for abusive material the content would have to exist as plain text somewhere and even

if you trust big tech companies and the government not to infringe on your privacy or not to do anything bad with it that also exposes that information potentially to hackers so stablish is some pretty broad powers and gives them to the government for regulating tech companies and how we do things online this bill might be carved out specifically more for trying to combat child exploitation but once that precedent established the government would likely reach for more and try to apply it to other crimes as well or people in other situations where privacy concerns are also being raised in israel too which has decided to track people with the coronavirus using them data middle east correspondent poorest as moment. israel is fighting corona virus with a little digital help the government has approved a new emergency measure of tracking mobile phones in order to contain the spread of the virus israel is a democracy and we must maintain the balance between civil rights and the public's

needs these tools will very much assist us in the case in the sick in stopping the virus from spreading the idea is to use the chair location data from people's cell phones to track who's been in contact with know that guy was areas and to send him text messages to alert them to the problem and to get them also to self isolate here is it is a measure that all parties normally use for tracking extremists and terrorists it wasn't so long ago that people were asking the same question should we hand over our privacy for a greater good civil rights activists in israel warning it is a slippery slope it's a dangerous precedent and the slippery slope that must be approached unresolved of the much debate and not after a brief discussion even in crises of this nature the core of civil rights and democracy must be preserved i understand that infection in contagion and the spread of the virus must be prevented but it's inconceivable that because of the panic so arise should be trampled without restraint levels that are totally disproportionate

to the threat and the problem the prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is still fighting for power claims that this tool is more effective than isolating the whole country this is an effective tool to locate the virus an isolated instead of isolating an entire country is wrong is not to meet it is joy in china me ran in this population trekking journey and it's no secret that our cell phones contain more information about ourselves than even we know of course it's information that can be used for both good and evil which is why everyone's fighting to excess said the question remains are you willing to give up your privacy to contain the virus and will the authorities stop it or tracking once the pandemic is over i'm afraid a tough. one time that they had the government for. 4 days. it would be. slipping away to using it again in august 2nd stan says which i'm not sure. i will agree with. much i say that everything needs to be done to stop the disease the

shows that netanyahu makes everything at 8 o'clock in the news is because of his legal situation one is not terribly important because the other didn't know about everything that yeah i'm in favor of following corona patients by phone so that we don't all get sick with it and then the surveillance on the phones will stop i think in any case everything you write on google and facebook and you pass on a card everyone knows your information today so it's no problem to follow you it prevents infection you would see about. this glamorous to me at all in this thing that the lack of public trust in netanyahu at the moment will make it difficult for the government there to implement any containment plan for the coronavirus these really probably in this particular crisis would prefer health and prevention of contagion epidemics over almost anything but this is not the issue for the israeli public but on your government it has lost its credibility and therefore

suspect in its handling of this crisis in the time you know him self he's also a defendant in a criminal trial because he has been indicted for bribery and other offenses so whenever he says something he is suspect of trying to play for rezone personal or political advantage. in other news today footage has emerged online showing a strain soldier fatally shooting an unarmed afghan man at close range. not. quite. stop. i am deeply disturbed by what has been aired in tonight's 4 corners report where serious allegations are raised australians would rightly expect their 3rd lead

samant the video that was obtained by a striking 4 corners t.v. programme the show claimed an official investigation by the australian defense force ruled the killing was justified as self defense something though that is not supported by that video footage the killing is one of a number of cases uncovered by the 4 corners program the country's defense minister now says that she backs an inquiry into claims of wrongdoing by special forces in afghanistan. and 2017 a former defense lawyer leaked the so-called afghan files the documents allege war crimes by a strain so which is among the claims of the mistaken killings of a father and son joining a raid as well as the killing of an afghan detainee and the mistreatment of brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition says that claims of war crimes are becoming almost a daily occurrence for the struggling special forces. there's no doubt that this is

a demonstration of work crimes there's no doubt about that whatsoever the australian military again is is involved in a criminal cover up the fact that they're shooting people while they're lying still on the ground and they recognise that a camera may be capturing these were crimes and they do it anyway shows how absolutely routine the killings like this are in the field they are gauged in routine i believe routine work crimes and crimes against humanity and they know that their bosses there's a p.r. years in the chain of command are perfectly ok with it they appear to still be ok with it even though the video completely contradicts the assertion that this was in self-defense. also it's almost a criminal probe ah for the country's embassy was attacked in kiev and crying out for national a shot at the building with a flag on and desecrated the russian flag during

a march on saturday. i. put it from the event it does show the crowd firing a flare which hit the mc very fierce protesters chanted anti russian slavens radicals also pelted the premises with smoke pellets radicals were commemorating volunteer italians who have 40 against self-proclaimed republics in the east of the country during the demonstration despite a heavy police presence offices apparently stood by and did nothing to stop the riots his authority said that they found no i'm serious violations during the. just coming up to 330 in the afternoon here in moscow you watching us a good happy company we're back again and. the outbreak of the spread of the coronavirus has become a black swan event for the global economy is no longer whether the u.s.

and other economies will slip into recession the question now is how long the recession will last it's going to get worse before it gets better. for the super cool porsche look at a little try to use me if the song is from the start were you sure the speech we asked of you feeling i mean was these full bore for your clothing or not only do it isn't legal for bush but i will push your so-called bush are going to kill us no. solution. here.
