what i see is this is the fund that is a welcome for us. thank you. i i. police fired tear gas and water cannon as protesters filled the streets against beijing's new security to offer they are pushing for brown says china's response on him sanctions. muslim community celebrating the end of the month long ramadan fast while some countries are urged believers to stay home when aligned with cobra destructions other nations seem unwilling to change. and benjamin netanyahu faces decades behind bars for corruption as he becomes israel's 1st sitting prime minister to go on trial.

live from moscow watching the weekly rundown of top stories here on earth international i'm daniel hawkins welcome to the program. the protesters out in force on the streets of hong kong of clashed with police they oppose beijing's plans for a new security law in the area running at the end of the territories all trying to me shaun of the insists the law must be imposed without the slightest delaying the use of tear gas and water cannon contributed to the chaos. i . i i was i. was i

say they've arrested at least. $180.00 protesters at an unauthorized gathering and reported damage to facilities they say the law they're opposing would also ban such protests which beijing subversive and treasonous washington that outs china's move with the u.s. national security advisor calling it a takeover of the territory secretary of state mark compare also warned there would be consequences. the decision to bypass hong kong is well established legislative process is and ignore the will of the people of hong kong would be a death knell for the high degree of autonomy between promise for hong kong under the sign of british joint declaration a un final 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 or the u.k.

australia and canada have also released a joint statement claiming china's move would undermine the one country 2 systems policy that gives on call 20 a beijing insists though the policy would not be impacted on the 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 affair and no foreign country has the right to intervene the chinese government is determined in safeguarding national sovereignty security and development interests following 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 communists all. creamy no 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 or

know that all the preconditions are carefully stage with the help and the police the government and the chinese government to use 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 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 all the faith that it is all under one mass that. the whole of protests is one of the world like questions which all share at least some common source including same funding agencies same hamburg's training techniques government support and the

like. the latest demonstrations following mass riots that began last year people came out against the bill to allow extradition of citizens the mainland china is then there has been regular violence. was. i was i.

rushers muslim community celebrated either marking the end of ramadan fasting people are advised against going into mosques and other peoples' homes shortly before the altar they've been on the country's muslim leaders advice celebrating

the holiday home party senior correspondent what i guess the if has this report. it's a holiday it is a time of festivities there is a special prayer that can only be performed as part of a group so you go to a mosque or an open field and pray there obviously now that is out of the question but but the 2nd and no less aspect that ied was always the social aspect you would visit you would dress your best and visit friends visit family this is needless and give it's incredible but after a month of fasting and feeling what it's like for people who don't have enough to eat people are much more likely to give and commit acts of charity so all of that is being taken away people here in russia they understand what in the stand a lot of quarantine of russians generally not just muslims have taken it in stride and accepted the pandemic for the serious threat that it is felt of course but by

officials and figures of authority and religious leaders telling people to stay home and be safe and knows including russia's u.s.c. champion little mohammed. in a few days it will be our religious holiday we're used to visiting other people receiving guests together having the morning prayers now please don't do it now it's more important to save our lives and the lives of our own selves now literally people listen to the doctor's instructions they know better listen to those who know islam who say we should celebrate at home what's remarkable is that some countries have taken no measures for example you look at what's happening in pakistan in some places in in israel and in palestine there's no rock 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 other muslim countries

that have been 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 the a very. different response across the muslim world. have been just under 100000 deaths from. the united states that makes it to the country the worst hit by the outbreak more restrictions are being eased the shocking reports continue on an overwhelmed health care system and failure to support those in need we heard from one man who lost both his father and grandfather to the coronavirus 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 friday's cestus high so we've taken the boma and roast it back there for about 2 and a half hours he comes out with discharge paper stating that he just as bronchitis so out there is later sleeper goes it's underpants so the lady at the church receiving hospital so he's better off wants a henry for every 4 take some to the back again my dad is there 3 hours comes up saying discharge papers so i really i just pushed him out the door week later april 6th 1145 my grandpa the hospital oh and so i go to sleep and rouse 630 the next morning susan one of my brother troy called screaming that adding a wake up ebbing away. keith again realm leaves of his that hadn't been turned away and was tested he may still be alive after his father died his mother then developed a high fever at the local hospital they refused to admit her so he took her to

another clinic where she finally tested positive for coverage 19. also has a prescription drug she got her heart doctor to it says the co virus lady looks at the piece of paper gives it back from mom so the mother that there's another dish she could do for it at the hospital or it would go home x. is if you have to cope at 90 why risk because one likely you have it ma'am is what they tell you we're likely to have it 'd but go 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 breathe. well the city of detroit where keith and his family live has experienced a high number of deaths last name being put down to the size of the black population which is around 80 percent come roll again thinks the authorities need to be held to account. just feel like my dad was close to the back of the line was getting the test because he was like he wants a basically hospital an all white neighborhood just looked out the door to go home

level was i control my day when he went to the hospital i feel like she should be the person that's supply for his death but they didn't look at him enough to tell him the door to give him a chance to get it. and then the government as well why weren't we prepare for this virus if you guys are certain season stays down at the economy why don't we have enough just to get tested for the virus if it's that big a. while are. a liar people being pushed on diets all the comeback so the hospital if you need is too late it. when the government and the old health care system really feels the american citizens. paris is i in the sky efforts to keep tabs on lockdown violators have been grounded not soft record ban the use of drones in the french capital for such surveillance charlotte even skis across the story. 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 know. it will get that message during lock down from the drones loudspeaker was a still mind to all that they needed permits to be outside all non-essential travel outside the home is prohibited they bellowed the drews 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 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's all good that they weren't troyan to identify people but simply watch so that they knew where to send the patrols. technology helps but it's not enough human presence is the key thing is not going to replace

a police officer. but that. with the court given the risks abuse are 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 they could be other challenges. do you really want technological police to monitor our beaches can france live without cameras flying over the beaches this is an issue that in my opinion should be put up for public and parliamentary 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. 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 the stock 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 r.t.

paris benjamin netanyahu becomes israel's 1st sitting premier in the dog more like store in others after this short break. you cannot be both with the yeah you like.

the program benjamin netanyahu has appeared in court on corruption charges the 1st time a sitting israeli prime minister has faced trial. reports. today is the attempt to depose me rights when it is against what the people who voted. wanted to know who made those remarks as he arrived at the jerusalem court there was a large crowd of supporters there to greet and encourage him but at the same time there was an equally large crowd in front of his house a powerful street in jerusalem protesting against him so he remains a deeply divisive figure and this remains a deeply divisive trial it is hugely important it is the 1st time that israel has a sitting prime minister who is facing criminal charges was still in office the spotlight will also be on the judicial and prosecution system now and the time now

who has repeatedly insisted on his innocence he accuses his critics of orchestrating a witch hunt against him he initially requested not to be present at today's opening that the judges will that he had to be there in order to hear the charges and understand the charges that were being brought before him the rule is that a 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 the judges rule that netanyahu does not have to attend any more stations until evidence starts been brought forward now there were 333 witnesses on the roster the trial could take in excess of 3 years impacted slightly 2 and at the same time netanyahu needs to defend himself against charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust now there were 2 trials that are currently taking place one inside the court and one inside the media at this stage

it is still too soon to say what will be the outcome but certainly if netanyahu is found guilty he could face several years in prison. could the country's political system. it's a pretty strong case so the prime minister can say it's a witch hunt is unprecedented it's a threat to democracy you know i think it's a 1st of all a test for israeli democracy the fact that a sitting prime minister is standing now on trial after a year and a half of political instability you know we have a system that will work this out it's certainly not you know i think in the long run it's not great to have this situation because there are many challenges on the other hand we forget that you know in a democracy in a rule country of rule of law like this the defendant is innocent until proven guilty and he has a right to defend himself and he shouldn't be expected to resign from being prime

minister because he's on trial because he may be innocent he has to prove that so there's a lot of new things in israel just as we have thought that it was unprecedented to have 3 elections in a year and were in chaos this just makes it even more chaotic more interesting but really more divisive i would say that's the key word at this point where we thought we finished the election process now the prime minister seems to be challenging the police the investigators the state attorney and even the judges and that's a very dangerous place that israel can be going towards because half the country is foreign it's and yeah 100 percent and maybe half or less of the country is against him and thinks that you know he should stand trial and has done something wrong so it's going to be very very interesting how this plays out both in court and in the court of public opinion. europe and asia reporting a resurgence in coronavirus cases prompting fears of an imminent 2nd wave monday china moved to place some 100000000 people in its northeast region of julian back

in lockdown amid a growing number of infection plus this being reported the move is a reversal from beijing's previous before turning the country to normality new blood regions have also put in protective measures now across europe come. trees have been cautious and relaxing their lock downs favoring a phased approach european businesses including small shops and hairdressers have reopened in some countries while schools and cultural sites have also begun opening their doors however italy and spain both reported a spike in tobin 19 deaths on tuesday while countries including germany reported an increase in post lockdown infections europe's top official has believe 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 hit in the 2nd week people think lockdown is finished nothing has changed the full disease control package has to be in place. for college you

know neil put the issue of a 2nd world wide covert 19 waiver up for discussion with a pile of experts. the 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 and your body used against them and these people if we all 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 they're going to be it's 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 indoors 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 longer along down condition is not only going to solution to anything but it's in polar bull in terms of can go 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 2 anyone i mean if we look onto 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 testing that is being done to me to 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 bankruptcy in most western countries i think we've gone too far in this what are we can't afford a 2nd plate turn i think the bigger issue now at the moment let's take on the medical. part of it is at least bail out some of the furloughing and where whatever you want to call it a little come a point where. massive sort of defacement 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 into get match and inflation to start what's happened moment we seem to have 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 a 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 doubt in the coming months we would have a lot more better strategy used to control it but certainly this is a more political and in my mental and side societal issue so it requires attacking animality skill level. despite many countries easing covert restrictions it's likely to be quite some time before the situation returns completely to normal so i ask you taylor takes a look at how all of our putting to our new world of social distancing. well 2020 speeder shaka and it's only may are the beginning quarantine didn't seem so bad we thought a few weeks will sit who tweets of books catch up and that thanks to a sprinkling such naive to pretty quickly we've run out of things to do on the net i was briefly entertained by balcony deejaying and soon parties.

but then not go boring so i moved on i even tried online dating not like usual thing but desperate times but it was fun for a while especially when my popularity skyrocketed off the event prospect for those quarantined catfish but let's be honest screen life just doesn't compare to street life so when i had the countries like easing out of knocked out i almost choked on my disinfectant tighten up i had my 1st place quite an outfit but reality check it's not going to be like the full kiss is a thing of the past hugs forget it you know how chicks are under review also normal cheeky smiling about passing on street on through that mask on the plus side you have just a way of being able to see or feel small when you tell them you love the bangs you know frost for also develop patience because queuing is here to stay.

and when your favorite restaurant reopens the path to some wine it changes. will be a good workout. it's actually really nice super goes in i think it will be also very romantic or for couples are going to be here and you might have to go to extremes to make sure people you know keep that distance unless you still more ready to make them don't worry you won't be lonely. unless you really do want to be left alone men which case when our 1st guest david

arrives today he's going to be well by his side and there's going to be a role for him to fall. through to go to school. well so you don't expect quite the same level of service is the full. life but. now i know lots of people all still hoping for that summit beach holiday while it might happen once a few adjustments of course and off to the beach you can still poppin visit off our friends just don't forget that take medicine. and for all you race out i promise socially distance parties can still be a real hoot.
