7:11 am
mandatory. it may be voluntarily today it may be mandatory to morrow so once again when you all pin the door and someone enter the door and suggest that it would be voluntary today it will be mandatory to morrow and the consequences may be harmful we see so many cases of databases at the end of the day a lot of data that are gathered find the way out it's invasion to our privacy invasion to our perhaps i don't know body the problem is that we live in error in the digital era in which our borders of borders or for privacy off anonymous to you all for all and freedom is getting narrower. day by day. so then now to russia where the non-working period brought in to fight the rapid spread of covert 19 has officially come to an end the news was announced by

vladimir putin during a video address but that doesn't mean an immediate return to normal life the number of new cases reported in russia this morning was 108-099-4300 extension 0 people have recovered in total but 2116 have died skittle explains why the nonworking period has been cancelled despite the number of infections remaining high. in recent days we've seen how many european nations have started the delicate process of easing that way out lock down and it appears that russia feels confident to say no monday and televised conference meeting now that the country would slowly and cast really start getting back to what to do not sort of almost from the 12th of may the national nonworking period and the entire economy but the fight against the epidemic will continue we must not allow a breakdown of backsliding a new wave of the epidemic in the growth of cases with serious complications and lifting of restrictions will not be quick it will take

the domestic and foreign policy of the united states she may be a communist but it wasn't always like this it was a brief period when america needed the soviet when it couldn't deal with a problem when it soon with its allies that problem was hitler and that time was the 2nd world war the cataclysmic event which changed the entire course of human history behind the walls of the kremlin you'll learn the secret of the russian power the spanish the nazi time over 3 years hollywood. thout blockbuster's one or another they consulted with the soviet embassy on what russian names to use in movies song of russian mission to moscow the north star.

7:21 am
a total of $9000000.00 full sides on the western front they understood that then for the sacrifice they praise the u.s.s.r. and film and song and even put stalin on the cover of time magazine's man of the year mr davis i'm happy to know you the great pleasures also considerable of a surprise i believe said that history will record you as a great builder for the benefit of mankind we feel modified and lead toward the government of the united states than any other new. but then it ended the movie they didn't need the soviet union so they try to forget it communists never tempted to inject their propaganda into the motion picture they have failed miserably we will never permit them to succeed a year later they were well into getting their house un-american activities committee went to town on hollywood with trials and purges blacklisting everything

7:23 am
a facial covering seems to be split along party lines with a recent poll suggesting democratic voters are more likely to wear masks compared with republicans over 30 states and jurisdictions including new york and connecticut have face covering requirements while in public areas however the use of mask has become a bone of contention in many other states and the government's own guidelines merely advise the use of simple cloth coverings president trumpet self has sided with a more relaxed approach. i just saw one myself it's a recommendation they recommended it's a vanity thank you think as the president of the united states you would have the confidence to honor the guidance that you and getting others in the country as he should have on a case met 1st announced that everyone would be required to wear face masks when retail opened and then he reversed yourself it became clear to me that there was just a bridge too far that i think it's disrespectful of people not to wear masks i don't

want to cover people's faces jim that's the image of god right there and i want to see it in my brothers and sisters media analyst llano explains why he thinks the issue of my squaring has become so polarizing the mask apparently seems to be considered by many people as a capitulation to tyranny to the illegal confiscation of our individual freedom this is by some people to other people the mask is a sign of health and cooperation the real translation is that if you are for the mask you tend to be nobody uses terms progressive liberal anti trump those individuals who tend to be pro trump republican conservative those individuals who always talk about the constitution the rights that we have under the various amendments. they tend to be against demands they see the mask is being handcuffs is
7:25 am
a form of subjugation so in addition to this symbology of the mask we've had these schizophrenia changes in directions where a mask don't wear a mask stay home ghost don't stay at home herd mentality so right now indian ited states nobody knows what to do there are no rules it's the wild west some day as dare i say as simple as how to stop an apple epidemic has been viewed via the prism of what your particular ideology. despite the mountains of bad news the pandemic has brought about they won't positive thing many agree on that has been good for the environment however it seems those benefits maybe only short lives with the global lock down putting a strain on conservation organizations around the world.

that worries me more than increased poaching why because of the scale size and speed of deforestation and fires that just destroys the habitat and with the habitat there goes the jaguars you might not see a bloody animal on the ground with a bullet in it but it's worse because there are other homes and burned burned alive where they don't have any prey. in conditions like these destructive fishing practices circa tensional increasing and this must remain a concern for all of 40 and regional governments. appreciate staying with us here on r.t. international as we continue to keep you informed viral website i don't think i'll
