7:05 am
we have enough just to get it what's best for the virus if it's that big of a. while our. diet so the come back to the hospital if you meet like this too late it. when the government and the oh health care system really failed the american citizens. let's turn attention on the program to the u.k. where the government's plans to get some children back into the classroom is facing further resistance more than 1500 primary schools in england say they are against throwing open their doors from next month another force the authorities to threaten sanctions breaking all the time for a hearty shania edwards dash to. as schools across europe begin to open their gates the united kingdom doesn't want to fall behind in class in a bid to get britain moving again boris johnson the prime minister want to try and get all primary school kids back in the classroom in less than 2 weeks time while the virus is still out there though boris johnson and number 10 maintains it's safe
7:06 am
enough to get kids back on track for the best way of protecting children the best way of giving them the best opportunities in life is actually to have been coming back into school for some parents it couldn't come soon enough as school hours would be a complete game changer for mums and dads going back to work but many you are working from home say sending military ones back would be bad parenting in fact over 80 percent of parents are refusing to send their children to school if they reopen in june on safety grounds and over 60 percent say they won't set their kids in until the new academic year in september at the very earliest and certainly could be very dangerous and they say the virus doesn't affect children too much and we all know that some viruses can be carriers within. sometimes attention dangerous but children could carry the virus amongst themselves to other people who could be vulnerable in school and. my daughter was 5 when she. so
7:07 am
she when she wants contact in concert with a lot of friends. get to know them again and. it could be potentially dangerous it was one of the reasons why i choose an article. but a closure of schools quite quickly when the crisis started however the u.k. government is ringing the school bell and trying to persuade parents is the right thing to do by showing other european models other countries have succeeded in making sure the children return skeete safely other european countries like denmark have done so while countries like denmark has less than a 1000 deaths the u.k. is hurdling towards the $40000.00 mark deeming it the worst affected in europe and 2nd highest number of fatalities in the. world and it's not just parents of a hesitant in the face of the push to reopen teachers do have a legal right to stay away but many schools have never even shut so it's a lockdown some have been teaching a handful of peoples of key workers and others which has already seen 3060 ching
7:08 am
staff die of cope at 19 and you can sit here and guarantee that no teacher is going to catch coronavirus as a result of going back to school the only way ever to ensure that you never catch coronavirus is to stay at home completely and when it comes to social distancing and keeping our numbers low teachers ferro be nigh on impossible to keep kids apart not to mention making sure the spaces say well maybe an office has to protect you. for. stuff. and sure. enough. of. protective. use in short supply. in the care homes rightly so you know. as things stand teachers do have the backing of their unions plus the u.k.'s leading body of doctors unions who also it's far too soon to go back to the classrooms early and
7:09 am
they're not even hearing any concrete evidence to prove otherwise and do we have got case number smush no way we should not consider reopen in schools how many councils are rebelling against their heads including of a paul harvey paul the greater manchester police for levels of this inspections are the only way those that i'm not about risks with children with stuck to their professional lives but for now the government says it is safe to reopen schools though not everyone is convinced if i if i had children of any age where they were expected to go to school on the 1st i may not be standard now but i don't think it has the right answer. well members of the population what do you should do in regard to deceive the well being of their children parents don't trust so much the government. they have a reputation for telling lies i'm sure parents believe. the
7:10 am
teachers and the unions the medical profession rather than the government the trustees so as the government continues with its class act its own set of rules and no reassurance of safety when schools do reopen all the teachers can try and do is place hygiene at the top of the correctly then chatted with dusty arty london. choruses are in the sky efforts to keep terms on lockdown and violators homes being grounded that's after a court bombed the use of drones in the french capital for such surveillance across the story short i didn't see. the view from above drew's sweeping across cities in france is part of police efforts not only to keep an eye on things but also to get a message across. you know all of you don't. know. it will get that message during lock down from the drone loudspeaker it was
7:11 am
a still mind to all that they needed permits to be outside all non-essential travel outside the home is a prohibited they bellowed the drones had other uses too alerting the police to any unusual gatherings perhaps a more efficient way to monitor the streets or as george orwell once described it it was the police patrol snooping then began the fight back human rights groups had warned of a threat to personal privacy they took their case to court and they won. the drones were effectively being used illegally so this initiative was carried out by the police without any preliminary consultation with the national commission on liberty and information and the state council therefore the state council has
7:12 am
eliminated this flaw in the police system in order to prefecture to take all necessary measures to suspend the use of drones for now. well at least here in paris france is highest administrative court ruled that aerial drones can no longer be used to hate to track people flouting social distancing rules during the fight against 19 government officials and the paris police it all good that they would troyan to identify people but simply watch so that they knew where to send the patrols. the technology helps but it's not enough human presence is the key thing a drug is not going to replace a police officer. but that didn't wash with the court given the risks abuser contrary to the rules for personal data protection the implementation of this private data processing on behalf of the state characterized as a serious and manifestly illegal infringement of respecting private lives in paris
7:13 am
the drones have been brought back down to earth with the not so in other big cities such as must say nice where they are still in use but the human rights group behind this when i say there could be other challenges. do we really want technological police to monitor our beaches in france live with our cameras flying over the beaches this is an issue that in my opinion should be put up for public and parliament terry discussion i repeat this practice is implemented with no prior consultations. many liberty groups might also hope that this case can prove a starting point in other countries too. where the use of drones to monitor the public during the pandemic has become normalized.
7:14 am
maybe. it's a win for right now but it could soon be overturned it's still within the government's power to issue a decree outlining the conditions of how police drones could be used in the future if that then gets approved by the national data privacy watchdog big brother will be back not just observing from this takes a valence cameras were all used to but from the heavens see and you may never even know that they were watching charlotte even ski artsy paris. next on the program we move away from a crew of ours because authorities in palestine threaten to quit all existing agreements with israel and the us it comes after israel outline plans to territory
7:15 am
to its jewish settlements in the west bug the palestinian president mahmoud abbas call for international laws to be respected. israel has to uphold responsibilities before the international community as the occupying power in the occupied land of promise start with the entailed commitments according to the geneva convention of 949. we hold the u.s. administration 40 responsible for the oppression of the palestinian people as it is a major partner to the occupation government in all the oppressive decisions of measures against all people well that dramatic announcement by the palestinian president mahmoud abbas comes off to an urgent meeting was held between the top brass of the palestinian leadership he announced at the p.a. would be cutting off all kind of arrangements between that solve the israel and the united states that comes off an announcement by the israeli side that they intend to go ahead with and mixing their territories in the west bank and jordan valley
7:16 am
that is part and parcel of the american peace deal it is something that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu supports and again we hear him expressing his optimism regarding an exaggeration. these areas of the country or the places of the birth and growth of the jewish nation it is time to apply israeli law to them and to write another glorified chapter in the history of zionism the u.s. secretary of state mark compare was recently in jerusalem where he met with israeli leaders and he said that the decision to annex was one that was israel alone to make however they would be ongoing consultation in private but tween washington and tel aviv an hour earlier this year the american president donald trump announced his deal of the century the annexation is part and parcel of it but also is conditional independence for the palestinians the deal has been severely criticized by many in the arab world and european leaders the european union issued the
7:17 am
following statement we strongly urge israel to refrain from any unilateral decision that would lead to the annexation of any argue. palestinian territory and would be as such contrary to international law the palestinian president mahmoud abbas said that israel is an occupying power but he accused the united states of being an ally he said it is a key partner and therefore needs to take full responsibility for the occupation of the palestinian people so to put it mildly no love lost between the palestinian leadership and the americans when i put some of those main points in the mirror such as professor of political science at university in the west bank he thinks of israel's plan is implemented the future for palestinians is great. we know from a really long time that is not so interested in the peace process. the 2 state solution is absolutely huge and about what happened after the formation of the israeli
7:18 am
government the new government guns and. their statement that they are going to annex 30 percent of the west bank which is in this case you are getting very early and also to consider all sentiments under israeli law which is consequently also to be annexed to israel it means that they are putting from the personal perspective at least the last nail in the coffin of agreement and i think this is the end of the idea of israel as a state otherwise the impact on the part of siena it will be an apartheid regime and we are now entering a kind of apartheid era with israel controlling all of this area and controlling the palestinian people. widespread hunger is rapidly escalating into chile's latest crisis with violent clashes breaking out in the capital over food shortages and rising unemployment as a consequence of luck measures we get into the story and more after this.
7:19 am

7:20 am
points on many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 20 minutes into the program you're very welcome back no if the coronavirus pandemic is taking a dramatic turn in chile where tensions are rising over food shortages and all men pulling them caused by the locked on military forces have been deployed in the capital amid clashes between locals and police it comes as increasing numbers of people say they're going hungry they're desperate for help.
7:21 am
i don't i mean you know i have 3 children i don't receive any help from the government because i have my own business so they don't help me there's very many people here who are small entrepreneurs do not get any help from me and now i am a taxi driver i can make a living because which master just cannot pick up and what does the government give us i don't know how cruel it it's not because of the koreans you know we mean how crude is food that people are asking for a now. the word hunger has been projected on some of santiago as most iconic buildings people there are denying the government's perceived lack of help making
7:22 am
matters worse the pandemic has led to a spike in food prices large parts of chile were placed on lockdown as the virus took hold the spite the president promising 2 and a half 1000000 food parcels to the needy the moves feel to tensions last in american studies professor douglas shaw believes the leader has lost his sense of reality. the shortage of food was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back people came into the streets and one of the slogans was respect the quarantine but we're not going to stay here and stop ours so people came into the streets they were to speak in the neo liberal cabinet do insuperable pinochet as style instead of offering food is services and what the people need they offer up got to be near dos the infamous military police more repression water hoses and sticks which are
7:23 am
not going to solve the everyday problems in santiago de chile in the other press communities across gielen sebastiaan into somebody that they do not identify with it is now who had to suffer with the everyday people of chile do so we could see this come to a common eating head in the coming weeks. with countries around the world slowly emerging out of confinement a resurgence in coronavirus cases being reported in europe and asia prompting fears of an imminent 2nd wave let's go through some of what we know here on monday china move to place some 100000000 people in its north east region of schilling back in lock down and in a growing number of infection clusters being reported the move is a reversal from beijing's previous aim of having the country back on track to normality nearby regions of also implemented protective measures. across
7:24 am
europe countries helping cautious and relaxing their locked arms favoring a phased approach european businesses including small shops and her dressers have reopened in some countries while schools and cultural sites have begun opening their doors however it's early in spain both report of the spike in covert 19 deaths on choose day while countries including germany reported an increase in. post lockdown infections europe's top w.h.o. official has delivered a stark warning against underestimating the threat of a 2nd wave. we know from history that in pandemics to countries that have not been hit early on can begin in the 2nd week people think lockdown is finished nothing has changed the full disease control package has to be in place but earlier i put the issue of a 2nd world wide covert 19 wave and its consequences up for discussion with a puddle of experts. says of covert are being recorded particularly in china and
7:25 am
cite korea which we know were among the 1st countries to tackle the pandemic is this going to be the sonority or for all countries lifting lockdowns now in the months to come wasnt you already or people in the whole world are still on in fact it so they don't have any body used against them and these people if me or in the situation of social distancing and the social media are changing begin to interact again and therefore the transmission of the virus would increase significantly those are going to be inevitable social distancing in march something is going to be a reality for at least the next 612 months even if we get a vaccine but action on actually i think we need to get some so that moment people need to go to work you know the pay for it so we've had to stay on message just really confused people because the problem is people haven't been keeping a car rather than just staying out of money and that's not the solution the solution is to get back to work and get back to normal but it's not going to be normal like we had before will people just on
7:26 am
a human level will people follow social distancing after a strictures are released do you think or will they become less cautious as the time goes by for a lot of us it becomes almost impossible to live our lives in the in the words we do rather. and risk getting infected or contaminated by this particular virus because at the end of the day i think a lot of people realize that living on their long run condition is not only going to solution to anything but it is in polar bull in terms of can go into our lives can we expect medical systems to be ready for a 2nd wave. what can we do to soften the blow systems are still not ready for the 1st wave you and i mean if we look on to the infrastructure that is an acquired to tackle the 1st wave i mean it's still insufficient i mean we don't really see a scale of casting that is being done to me to get what is the author well you know what kind of strategy do you expect from governments in the case of a 2nd wave could they do this again or would it simply buying up the country. well
7:27 am
i think it's already pretty close to bankruptcy in most western countries so i think we've gone too far in this what are we can't afford a 2nd plate but nothing bigger issue now that's a moment let's take on the medical costs part of it is at least bail out some of shallowing where whatever you want to call it will come a point where. massive sort of defacement of our currency and you know interest rates are going to be forced through the roof government's not been able to get stuck into it not shouldn't play should not start in what's happened we weren't ready for the 1st wave movement you see you could have just how would i mention response that we must do everything possible. to do everything if i should be. preventing someone anyone from timing and but at the same time we forget that if we go down the road in a one dimensional sense we end up giving up all life and then basically undermine the capacity of young people to flourish under these kinds of conditions that are
7:28 am
positive that in the coming months we will have a lot more better started used to control it but certainly this is the more political and in my mental and side societal issue so it requires attacking anybody skill level and yes some interesting views there on the panel about is the way things are looking so far this wednesday may the 20th a reminder throughout these times r.t. continues of course to update you on line on social media and from our network of studios and teams around the world do check in with us when you can see in 30 stay safe they will.
