good morning thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. so let's start by bring you right up to speed on the latest global coronavirus figures the total number of infections that is now just above 4400000 293000 lives have been lost but more than 1400000 people have recovered. and you. france is taking its 1st tentative steps back to normality this morning is locked down is being eased back although some restrictions do remain in place for instance masks are mandatory on public transport but while some see the overall move as being a positive sign there's a fearful of a possible 2nd spike in infections let's go live now to our correspondent. who is.

among the 1st few countries trying to make steps back towards something that resembled normality how they're going to go about. yes that's right parisians waking up here hoping to see that easing of the richard starting now the weather not playing ball though with the forecast gloomy for the next week to 2 weeks so that may keep some people inside in regards to the easing of the restrictions from today that monday many shops will be able to reopen schools will start to reopen public transport will be running more efficiently than it has over the last 8 weeks people hoping to get that taste of freedom for the last. people every time they've left the house and had to have a personal permission slip. to say exactly why they're leaving the house for

a select narrow set of reasons that has now been disbanded with them people will be able to move freely within their towns and cities the country is split into some regions still in the red zone which means there are a heightened concerns in regards to the fires in those regions and here in paris is one of those regions this is what the prime minister said when he. was definitely going to be easing restrictions from. the president of the republic. given the latest. the progressive lifting of the. it's another step in the fight against the epidemic it is good news for the french people. well not so much good news is that public parks and green spaces will be reopening for the moment that's expected to take

place. which they're hoping will start late june now already shops have been asking people coming into the. sanitizer but now shops will also be able to enforce that there is a mandatory wearing or face mosques they are also mandatory on all public transport in france with people not wearing them anybody over the age of 11 facing a fine of 135 euros now there has been criticism over the plans as to how that's going to. transport that we're looking for extra help and in fact this morning many fronts t.v. stations have been showing some of the chaotic scenes not just in the metro here in paris but also in stations and connecting stations around the country showing carriages full of people not respecting the fact that despite their. social distancing is according to the government in parity of there's also criticism from teaches saying you know we shouldn't be opening the schools while some business is

a concern that some of the advice from the government hasn't being exactly clear and no not really sure what they can and can't do there are also those businesses who called. cafes and restaurants and bars you off they have been included in this easing of the restrictions there's also another killing in the chain for the government one of the 2 measures that they were also hoping to put in place which is this restriction of not travelling more than 100 kilometers around 60 miles from your home and also the certificate that they were going to. people to use when they're in public transport during the rush hours this is fully employed to say you have to get to work and noisier of those have been approved by the constitutional court to france they were passed during the health emergency bill over the weekend by the parliament the constitutional court still has to look at them and say whether these are reasonable restrictions so for the moment the government is

asking people to just respect that idea or that 100 kilometer radius and also. using public transport during. rush hour and there's also criticism from the public a sense from the public that they not quite sure that the government's got perhaps the right strategy or the government is going to succeed in its strategy one poll showing that 74 percent of people didn't think public transport would be safe to use another poll showing that some 58 percent almost 6 in 10 people didn't think that the government would be able to successfully implement exit strategy and of course there is also this fear that while many people are hoping to see more freedoms down to get out and about that they will be that predicted the 2nd wave of the coronavirus and the french government has stated very clearly if there is a 2nd wave if there is

a rise almost restrictions that people are hoping to have seen the back of they will be back. and that is the situation right now in france live from paris our correspondent thank you. just turn out to life in the united kingdom which is a front line put on hold the for almost 2 months now and the prime minister's taken to the nation's t.v. screens this was on sunday night busy started to outline a possible way forward there will be a gradual easing of restrictions although every step will be strictly monitored and there's no exact date when the full lockdown would be lifted or corresponds in loads of. what you were boris johnson had to say take us through what the u.k. plan is. yes we've seen boris johnson speaking last night said about the country's measures a new plans to lift the lockdown or at least to ease the lockdown restrictions which have been placed in place for around 2 months and mr johnson saying that

while the country isn't in place to lift those locked arms shipments in any meaningful or way at the moment that is the end goal for the country to work towards. no this is not the time simply to end the lockdown this week it would be madness not to throw away that achievement by allowing a 2nd spike we must stay alert we must continue to control the virus and saved lives. now mr johnson also announced the creation of a 5 to learn system to run the threat from coded 19 similar to one that new zealand have had in place since the beginning of this crisis of course a country which has been almost unscathed by the scale of co-financing compared suit and many other countries around the world also it's been compared to the type

of terror alert system that huge see in many countries including the u.k. and the usa now this system ranges from level one which is a low threat all the way through to critical which is a level 5 or a red threat level and the lower the threat level is seen according to this code interior the more those restrictions can be lifted. due to our progress and to avoid going back to square one who are establishing a new alert system run by a new joint bio security center could be the look level would tell us how tough we have to be in our social distancing measures the lower level the fewer the measures the higher level of the tougher and stricter we will have to be because now our there have also been accusations against mr johns with people saying that

actually and this is all a little bit confusing and that it's not really clear exactly whether people are allowed to go back to work should they be encouraged to or is it just a situation where things have to carry on as they are and people have to concede to . what's been happening thus far for the last weeks and months. monotreme progress locally regionally and nationally and if there are breaks if there are problems we will not hesitate to put on the brakes and let the situation in the united kingdom with that report live from london many thanks our correspondent there is our alley. belgium is also joined the ranks of those taking their foot slightly off when it comes to the lock down under its plan core sectors including the retail industry will be allowed to open up from today but there are

mean for the sake of you we care and or lurd also order sounds to play us of a different measure that we add to the glamour and the 1st one was to see for all the ways the one to work out on us 6 girls and because for the moment 21 for some exemption for most of us your security contribution and also of theirs and 20 and now went to really as goes so that. the bill to check can be $100.00 and now at the d.v.d. for all managers and company. a fire that broke out at a hospice in the necessity of the goals of a night as claimed 10 lives liverpool suggests that the fire was caused by an electrical fault and also revealed that the loan was registered as residential with no permission to carry out functions of a hospice a criminal investigation has been launched with the owner reportedly being question

. new york remains the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in the united states as it struggles to deal with a rapid rise in infections of some neighborhoods in the bronze. queens and staten island have been hit harder than wealthier ones as a new r.t. documentary highlights. the. quarantining new york is a little bizarre because there's there's like 2 worlds right so we're in a world where we feel very isolated we're working from home but we're still working and then there's this like other part of new york that we don't see when you look at like the map of how home it is politically some of the wealthier neighborhoods

it's been far more contained and the numbers are much lower than some of the flora neighborhoods it's like 2 different worlds. the surface i'm a livable how many absent certainly allowed to be early we probably don't argue over the last 2 weeks and we have more than 100 more to go and we're going round going in new york which is considered one of them or our area west of the we were with the other core population are dying water because in everyday circumstances when you go to a hospital in new york city and probably not any of. the 1st thing they actually are is you having to put the body in the in to you will ya please the side this is a real.

meanwhile the newest like governor's already outlining his post outbreak plans but his decision to call on the america's richest to help out his problem to dungarvan the big apple caleb maupin takes up the story. united states has the world's top number of coronavirus deaths and 33000000 americans have now filed for unemployment u.s. officials are saying this is a catastrophe on par with 911 or pearl harbor many have accused the u.s. government of dropping the ball failing to provide adequate health care and effectively mobilize relief however the new york state governor andrew cuomo has found some saviors to help reimagine new york in the aftermath of the pandemic billionaires. cuomo has given eric schmidt the c.e.o. of google the task of helping to reimagine new york in the aftermath of the pandemic with talent health remote learning and broadband probably the best mind. in this

country if not in this on the globe to do this is i believe a true visionary especially in the field of technology and that's eric schmidt and we've asked him to come work with us now google has already earned the distrust of millions with their project nightingale that acquired the personal medical records of millions and their ownership of fitbit. the new york governor has also decided to bring bill gates on board bill gates the microsoft founder and billionaire is set to help revolutionize schools across the state bill gates is a visionary in many ways and his ideas and thoughts on technology and education he's spoken about for years but i think we now have a moment in history where we can actually incorporate and advance those ideas

advocates of public education have slammed his initiative as pushing privatization . both the gates foundation and your coma have a history of pushing privatization and agendas that have the potential to destroy public schools this collaboration raises a red flag and real questions about what shape our reimagine public schools will take postponed demick and whether there will be recognizable as public schools at all the gates foundation or big advocates of common core and initiatives aimed at advancing america's performance and education which is already quite low especially in the field of mathematics the program actually has made things worse since 2013 when it was implemented at this point test scores are at a historic low. former new york city mayor mike bloomberg has been drafted to help out in the field of health care is set to create a human contact tracing network mayor michael bloomberg has volunteered to help us

develop and implement the tracing program we thank him very much for taking it on because it is going to require a lot of attention a lot of insight a lot of experience and a lot of resources big tech wrong based out of southern california is now setting up shop in the big apple many fear that while this could create billions of dollars in profit for the silicon valley monopolies it will result in even more dependence from new yorkers on these mega corporations can't think of a worse or more dangerous development than this one hope new york education and health care unions are getting prepared for defied of their lives. trying to take out the troubling democracy play acting goes straight through by billionaires monday gates tuesday smits next abbesses to imagine the future of the economy and is it to imagine news friday maybe black or just runs everything. 1st bill gates

and now eric schmidt these are all people who should determine for us how best to provide services to everyday new yorkers instead we should tax them all so people whose job it is to decide state policy can do so more effectively now the pandemic is far from over and why c. is still shut down but the race to dominate the postcode at 19 world has already started and not surprisingly the billionaires have gotten a head start you know it doesn't surprise me in hollywood you sell you know let me tell you about that are real new yorkers see what. we see that just in the recent state budget he cut $2000000000.00 from medicare $400000000000.00 from hospitals in the middle of a pandemic i mean we see have we have any and also you never taxes are all you never never taxes objects so many proposals and status and on to tax the millionaire surtax corporations you know to me it's like

a bunch of billionaires getting together and creating new institutions and this host our own they live in this echelon this is rural onto their own was you know and you really see how they lose touch with you know the normal ordinary person. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden is perhaps feeling more confident now in the 6 abuse scandal he's been dragged into recent days and that's up to the media started to play at the fact one of his accusers lawyers appeared to be a long standing supporter of president trump while the over the previously worked for the russian news agency sputnik all ignoring the fact the alleged sex assault happened in 1993 will bring you the full story after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. that will make sure words less trustworthy in the current u.s. political and media circles it seems any connection to russia or president trump will to the woman who accused democratic nominee joe biden of carrying out a sexual assault in the $990.00 s. he is now being treated as a russian agent for exactly that. looks at what stands behind the accusations so many of us to not just be the perfect time to explore things in my own days of solitude i think how do you my skills and i want to show you guys something i've been watching i call it the diary of a bullshit democrat the 1st character. russia russia russia troops that have troops

that have always had a lot of president ok ready. like my photo credit i was blindsided by the section of some of accusations made against him by it and by someone tara reid i mean i know some woman has come forward for accused by reason of your already i'm caught with that sniffing and touching and there are all these photos of him and then there's the hash tag keep job i said but i think thought that saying no no something's fishy here and of recent days new evidence has come tonight revealing reid's accusations for what they really are a huge russian conspiracy an attempt to get that pop it up and that it now the fast alarm bells when i saw who is representing reid torah regis go to new lawyer his name is douglas wigdor he supported donald trump in the 2016 election and gave $55000.00 to the trauma campaign and the r. and c.

ger in that cycle surprised coincidence i think not i mean we do did also donate to a bunch of democratic candidates in 516 and he defended fox employees an agenda discrimination case and he did so represent christine lacy for when she confronted by counting up. my argument that let's just forget also making the super suspicious the other lawyer being defended by one of the attorneys working for terror read is bill moore i'm a former employee of sputnik the russian government's english language propaganda arm i mean i couldn't put it better than this very professional and unbiased and i said to see john list between that and read alexandra lawyer who was fired from sputnik yes that sputnik could get this incorrectly reporting a wiki leaks story something about this whole story and its timing stinks to high heaven also seems. i have and the fact that we test so is p.t.

a question pont i mean she criticized america chris imperialism whatever that means and last she talked about president putin back chested on a horse she literally wrote a love letter to the murderer trying to keep biden from the white house. yet the new york times is calling for the d.n.c. to establish a truth panel and investigation full ought we all know the real truth have the kremlin has been cooking us up for decades they thought all the way back in $1000.00 times to the would one day run for president so they plucked a random young doctor put herself in a lifelong psychologically damaging situation to say she quit outpointed when he finally got close to keep him from the white house but they had to make it believable so they got several people in on it to be like her ex-husband on several occasions petitioner tara reid related a problem that she was having at work regarding sexual harassment and u.s.

senator joe biden's office and her ex neighbor i remember her saying here was this person that she was working for and she added lies to him and he kind of put her against a wall and he put his hand up her skirt and he couldn't spinners insider she found that she was assaulted and she really didn't feel there was anything she could do and even a mother i'm wondering what. would. go to the press in washington my daughter is there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problems i mean like he's about to payrolls you contrast the thing that comes out of his mouth anyway that when the cavanagh case came along they probably thought they had it in the bag women do not sit around making these things up these women have come forward knowing they have everything to lose they thought of that and will do it. these women who hounded catherine are commonplace dumb standards to that presumptive

presidential nominee who should not be running on character for the president united states you want him to withdraw i wish he would well have a home because he's one of them and says nice things about russia and goes off to my candidate the only one that's not to shake the on his 7 year old likes unapplied as much prissy as i can fit into my hash time's up. so what you think. you'll find too subtle it's going to get. legal honest and for the most of the whole sex scandal around joe biden has proved the hypocritical h. of the need to movement the truth is now that we're seen this with joe biden with cher read is that it's not me too for all women it's me too only to protect the women that accuse donald trump or his associates it's only me to if you accuse somebody who we don't like if you accuse one of our guys we can't really believe

what you say that's absolutely duplicitous and it's exactly what this movement similar movements have been supposed to stand against this is complete have seen we're finding out more and more that the democratic party in america and that includes a lot of the mainstream media outlets that the mainstream media the democratic party in america are just they're just interested in helping themselves they do not care about women they only care about women that are going to help their political and their social causes that's all they care about as women for their own political gain if it hurts their political gain those women can be tossed aside. without international jewry from goodson half an hour's time. thanks to.

you cannot be both with me yet you would like. that's because there's plenty of survival guide ecstacy just like all the stores simply cut all the surfaces. you should you don't forget the past.
