i. i. i. fired tear gas and water cannon as protests this fill the streets against. the law for the area. as a response and hence sanction. the muslim community celebrating the end of the month long ramadan fast while some countries are urged to stay home in line with descriptions of the nation seem willing to change. with the u.s. health care system being pushed beyond its limit by coronavirus we hear from a man who says. both his father and grandfather dying of the disease.

it's good because he was like you want to basically. just. know i was in the skies police in paris from using drones to look for those breaking down. from moscow thanks for joining us in the weekly here on r.t. international and on hawking's welcomes. the protesters are out in force on the streets of hong kong they've been clashing with police they pose beijing's plans for a new security law in the area branding at the end of the territories autonomy trying to insist the law must be imposed without the slightest elaine use of tear gas and water cannon contributed to the chaos when i. now

out. was was now was he was i was . he or 30 say they've arrested at least a 100 lazy protesters at an unauthorized gathering and reported damage to facilities they say the more they're opposing would also ban such protests which beijing subversive and treasonous washington has done else tried as well with the u.s. national security advisor calling it a takeover of the territory of state and was on fire also warned there could be

consequences the why the decision to bypass hong kong's well established legislative processes and ignore the will of the people of hong kong would be a death knell for the high degree of autonomy bidding promised for hong kong under the sign of british joint declaration a union filed agreement any decision impinging on hong kong's autonomy and freedoms would inevitably impact their assessment of one country 2 systems and the cedars of the territory the u.k. australia and canada have raised joint statement claiming china's move would undermine the one country 2 systems policy that gives one call autonomy beijing insists the policy would not be impacted cell issue is an internal affair. so i'm going to go to the national security laws legislation on the special administrative region is purely china's internal affairs and no foreign country has the right to intervene the chinese government is determined safeguarding the national sovereignty security and development interests falling through the policy of one

country 2 systems and opposing any external interference and one can refer to several big rallies have already been scheduled this week it is really quite worrisome because in the past year illegal protests rioting commoner small. cream you know ministry of possession of legal reference were commonplace in this will call peaceful protests overall i think the whole government is acting very restrained anyone with the understanding of history would know that all the preconditions are carefully staged with the help and the. police. and the chinese government. stronger and stronger forces to stop the violence and restore order beijing has been extremely restrained in defining the new shoots unless it is absolutely needed beijing as make clear that under the basic law however the military or power military could march into. to hong kong to calm any riots and

apply national laws for arrest and do whatever that is needed to restore law and order of course americans vested interest groups in hong kong iley the fate that it is all under one massacre the whole of protests is one of the world like questions which at least some common source including same funding agencies same hamburg's training techniques government support and the like. of the latest demonstrations followed mass riots that began last year people came out against the bill to allow extradition of citizens to mainland china since then there has been regular lot of .

i was. i was i was.

russia's muslim community has celebrated eades marking the end of ramadan fasting people were devised against going into mosques and other peoples' homes shortly before the holiday flooding a putin and the country's muslim leaders advised celebrating the holiday hope a lot of tossing of course one of more i guess the a for more on this broad thanks for joining us obviously things a bit different this year still a massive event though for muslims in russia around the world how are they celebrating it you know given the circumstances. well and in a much quieter way than usual i mean community and the social aspect of eat is huge and is it is what makes the holidays so after after a month of fasting which is difficult where this is you know

a time where the rich and the middle class and everybody they stop for a month to feel what it's like to be pool to not have enough food and eat it is about charity it is about going out there and giving aid food money to the poor it's about visiting your relatives you you friends your family long distant relatives and for $3.00 days straight some community is a huge aspect of in one of the reasons why you see sense here grounds of muslims because there's a special prayer that you can't carry out alone after performing as part of a group so in a community in amman school in an open field obviously that is now out of the question so this is a very muted. compared to what it is usually but but there is obviously a sense to it this this is a pandemic and if things were allowed to go on as usual it would be the perfect

breeding ground for the virus to spread and spread so those are all russian leaders religious leaders assignment scholars 'd in mom's 3 figures in authority have called on people to stay at home and russians have taken the whole lot out of quarantine of the virus very seriously so you know moscow's empty absolutely empty compared to what it is in any normal year even. russia's u.f.c. champion has called on people to stay at home of. in a few days it will be our religious holiday we're used to visiting other people receiving guests together have in the morning pray is no please don't do. now it's more important to save our lives and the lives of our own selves an elderly people listen to the doctor's instructions they know better listen to those who know islam who say we should celebrate at home. but as i said russians have taken the lot

down quarantine very seriously it is forced not as tricky as in some other countries but people of their own village have chosen to be shaped to remain at home especially considering that so many people in russia live together with their elderly parents or grandparents and obviously this is a global problem of course for global solutions not just in russia or other countries as well what measures of other countries abroad taken to keep people safe . well i say what's remarkable is that some countries have taken new measures for example you look at what's happening in pakistan for example in some places in in israel and in palestine and there's no knock down there's you know it's business as usual either as is usual so you have huge crowds congregating in packed mosques and people praying together truly you know you you might think this

is a different world but. in some cases people there have chosen to celebrate either as as usual perhaps not quite as afraid of the pandemic and the viruses as they ought to be other muslim countries to be much more serious about enforcing measures to combat the pandemic for example in jordan in turkey there are curfews people are not allowed out to prevent people from going out there and celebrating even potentially getting infected and spreading the virus themselves so so very. different response across the muslim world there certainly is an open for a more normal 1st of all next year of course seen across point where i guess the if . well there have been just under 100000 deaths from kovac 19 in the united states that makes it the country which is worst

hit by the outbreak while restrictions are being eased the shocking reports continue on an overwhelmed health care system and also failure to support those in need we heard from one man who lost both his father and grandfather to the krona virus and says it's down to sheer negligence. then the next day we found out that he tested positive for the corona virus same day that he was put on a ventilator my father my mother boasts about a super rich dry cost my dad has a fever starts fridays chest is tight so we take on the boma and roast and i expect there are routes one half hours he comes i would just charge paper stating that he just as bronchitis so out there is later sleeper goes out so arguments so the lady at the church receiving hospital so not bothered is better off wants a henry for every 4 take some to the back again my dad is there for 3 hours comes st discharge papers so i really i just pushed him out the door week later rob april

6th 1145 my grandpa the hospital oh and so i go to sleep and roust 630 the next morning susan one of my brother troy called screaming that adding a wake up ebbing away. he has come round believes if his that hadn't been turned away and was tested he may have survived after his father died his mother vend of up to high fever the local hospital low refused to admit her so he took her to another clinic where she finally tested positive full coverage 19. also has a prescription does she got her heart doctor to it says the co iris lady looks at the piece of paper gives it back from mom so my mother that there's another dish she could do for it at the hospital or will go home x. is if you have to cope at night because one likely you have it is what they were like you have it 'd but it's gone home because there's nothing we could do for your drinks he drinks tylenol take tylenol for your fever come back if you can't reach the city of detroit where keith and his family live has experienced the high number

of deaths largely being put down to the size of the black population which is around 80 percent. again think the authorities need to be held to account. this feel like my dad was pushed to the back of the line was given a test because he was black like he wants a basically hospital an all white neighborhood just looked out the door to go home or die lever was in control of my day when he went to the hospital i feel like she should be the person that's to blame for his death but they didn't look at him enough to tell him the door to give him a chance to get a test. and then the government as well why weren't we prepare for this virus if you guys are certain season stays down in the economy why don't we have enough test to get it will test the border virus if it's that big of a problem why are. so ask me. although really.

the american citizens. in other news piracies i am a sky efforts to keep tabs on locks on violators has been grounded soft record ban the use of drones in the french capital for such surveillance sort of the risky is across the story. the view from above drew's sweeping across cities in france as part of police efforts not only to keep an eye on things but also to get a message across. you know i don't. think it will get that message during lock down from the drones loudspeaker was a stern reminder to all that they needed permits to be outside all non-essential travel outside the home is a prohibited bait bellowed the drews had other uses to 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 this initiative was carried out by the police without any preliminary consultation with both the national commission on liberty in information and the state council therefore the state council has eliminated this flaw in the police system in order to prefecture to take all necessary measures and suspend these 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 weren't 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 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 you really want to acknowledge called police to monitor our beaches in france live without cameras flying over the beaches this is an issue that in my opinion should be put up for public and parliament harry discussion i repeat this practice is implemented with no prior consultation. many liberties 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. i. believe. it's a win for right now but it could soon be overturned it's still in 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 the static surveillance cameras were all used to but from the heavens see and you may never even know that they were watching charlotte even ski r.t. paris. but even if he becomes israel's 1st sitting premier in the dark that story and more after this break. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. you in the face of a pandemic virus that spread so rapidly and so quickly throughout the world population it really think in the short run about changing people's underlying metabolic states one hopes that we can learn something from. in the long. healthier lifestyles to create a more healthy planet.

the program benjamin netanyahu appeared in court on sunday on corruption charges the 1st time an acting israeli prime minister has faced trial was short lived now by paula in tel aviv to get the latest updates on the legal proceedings paul obviously president and from a legal point of view here what's the latest from the court. well it certainly is unprecedented this is hugely important in this role the 1st time as you mentioned that you have a sitting prime minister facing criminal charges while still holding office and talking now who arrived at the courthouse in jerusalem it was a large crowd there to greet him encourage him at the same time there was an equally large crowd outside his home at. street in jerusalem with the support of sleep protesting against him so he remains a deeply divisive figure and this court case no doubt is going to be deeply divisive as well all eyes are not only on the courthouse this is also going to shed

a spotlight on the judicial and prosecution system here in israel netanyahu from the start has maintained his innocence he says that critics have orchestrated some kind of witch hunt against him but he initially asked not to attend today's hearings the judge just said he needs to be present in order to state that he understands the charges against him. tonight we are witnessing an attempted coup against a prime minister using false accusations and a tainted biased investigation process its mind turned to stand before the court to shatter all the fabricated accusations against me. now the judge just said that netanyahu does not have to attend future sessions and told the evidence starts at this stage there are some $333.00 witnesses that are on the rosters and it's

tomato that the court case could take more than 3 years a lot longer than 3 years some of the experts are telling us now natalia who faces charges of bribery ford and breach of trust and this is also a court case that is likely to happen in 2 places one inside the court and secondly inside the media both of which netanyahu is against. the rule is that the defendant is present for the reading of the indictment which is the opening of the trial this is the case in every criminal procedure including the current criminal procedure we didn't find in the explanations of the petition there a reason to justify an exception to this rule. at this stage it's still too early to say what will be the outcome of the trial but if netanyahu is found guilty he could face up to several years in prison. certainly president times in israeli politics paulus lear there with that update from tel aviv thanks for joining us.

europe and asia are reporting a resurgence in coronavirus cases prompting fears of a movement 2nd wave of monday china move to place some 100000000 people in its northeast region of julian back in lockdown amid a growing number of infection clusters being reported the move is a reversal from previous aim of returning the country to normality in nearby regions have also been put into protective measures now across europe countries a bit of cautious relaxing they're locked out favoring a phased approach european businesses including small shops and hairdressers have reopened in some countries while schools and hospitals schools and cultural sites as you say have also begun opening their doors italy and spain however both reported a spike in clover 19 deaths on tuesday 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 be here in the 2nd week people think lockdown is finished nothing has changed the full disease control package has to be in place my colleague you know neil put the issue of a 2nd world wide covert 19 wave up for discussion with a panel of experts. cases of covert are being recorded particularly in china and 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 lawsuit you already are people in the whole world are still on in fact and so they don't have any body used against them and these people if they all 'd are in the situation of social distancing and the social behavior are changing begin to interact again and therefore the transmission of the virus would increase significantly a 2nd of it is 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 action on classic we need to get some sort of moment people need to go to work you know leave pay for it so we'd have to stay on message just really confused people because the problem is people haven't been keeping a car rather than just staying home yet 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 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 those with a rather large 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 longer along down condition is not only going to solution to anything but it is in polar bull in terms of conduct 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 trust to anyone i mean if we look on to the infrastructure that is an acquired to tackle the 1st we are going to still insufficient i mean we don't really see a scale of testing that is being done to really get as large as 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 by the country. well i think it's already pretty close to bankrupting most western countries i think we've gone too far in this one and we can't afford a 2nd plate but turn the thing to bigger issue now at the moment let's take on the medical. part of it is at least bail out some of the churning and where whatever you want to call it will come a point where. massive sort of debasement of our currency and you know interest rates are going to be forced through the roof governments not being able to pay their debts back and get national play should not start in what's happened moment we seem to have does a one dimensional response that we must do everything possible to stay indoors must

do everything possible in order to prevent us from being contaminated but at the same time we forget that if we go down the road in the one dimensional sense we end up giving up our lives and then we basically undermine the capacity of young people to flourish under these kinds of conditions any positive that in the coming months we would have a lot more better strategy used to control it but certainly this is a more political and environmental and side societal issue so it requires attacking animal to skill level. up next to living in the most bombed country in the world are the documentary brings the stories of men and women in laos clearing unexploded bombs from the country back in 30 minutes time with the latest headlines.

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the president's press conference from the new state department auditorium march 23rd 1961. i want to make a brief statement about laos. it is i think important 'd for all americans. to understand this difficult and potentially dangerous problem. these 3 maps show the area of effective communist domination as it was last august and

from december 20th to the present day the end of march the communist control a much wider section of the country. the position of this administration has been carefully considered. and we have sought to make it just as clear as we know how to the government's concern 1st we strongly. have at least for the goal of a neutral and independent layo. to no outside. group of powers threatening no one and free from any domination. by fellow americans they are far away from america but the world and. the security of southeast asia will be in danger if layoffs loses its neutral independence i want to make it clear to the american people and all the world.
