sitting prime minister today i want trial. here in moscow thanks for joining us on a weekly run out of top stories in r.t. international daniel hawkins here with you tonight. the protesters on the streets of hong kong have faced off with police they oppose beijing's plans for a new security law in the area branding at the end of the territories autonomy china though insists the law must be imposed without the slightest the lane use of tear gas and more to go out and contributed to the chaos. was was was i was i
5:02 pm
was i thought he say they've arrested at least $180.00 protesters that authorized gathering and reported damage to facilities they say the nor their opposing would also ban such protests which beijing dubs subversive and treasonous what incentives then else china's move would be u.s. national security advisor calling it a takeover of the territory i secretary of state and also warned there could be consequences the word the decision to bypass hong kong is 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 between promise 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 our assessment of one country 2 systems and the cedars of
5:03 pm
the territory the u.k. australia and canada have released a joint statement claiming china's move would undermine the one country 2 systems policy that gives hong kong all 20 beijing insists the policy would not be impacted on the issue is an internal affair. just don't 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 in safeguarding national sovereignty security and development interest following through the policy of one country 2 systems and opposing any external interference and one can refer several big rallies have already been scheduled starting 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 all call peaceful protests overall i think
5:04 pm
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 to 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 hong kong you 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 ighly of 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

before the holiday that any person on the country's muslim leaders advised celebrating the holiday at home senior correspondent or i guess the a for ports. 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 are they they understand what the stand a lot of quarantine of russians generally not just muslims have taken it in stride
5:08 pm
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 shaped and knows including russia's you if he 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 lou 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 doubtless you know it's business as usual as is usual so you have huge crowds congregating in packed mosques and people
5:09 pm
praying together other muslim countries that have been much more. serious about enforcing measures to combat the pandemic for example even jordan in turkey there are curfews people are not allowed out to prevent people from killing out there and celebrating even potentially getting infected in spreading the virus themselves so said me a very unique student different response across the muslim world. have been just under 100000 deaths from coverage 19 in the united states making it the country the worst hit by the outbreak and wallace fictions are being east 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
5:10 pm
day we found out that he tested positive for corona virus same day that he was put on the ventilator my father my mother most of the super rich dry cost my dad has a fever starting fridays chest is tight so we've taken the boma. back there for about 2 and a 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 he's better off wants a 3 for every 4 take some to the back again my dad is there for 3 hours comes off st discharge papers so i really i just pushed him out the door week later raw april 6th 1140 my grandfather ospital 'd. so i go to sleep and rouse 630 the next morning susan one of my brother troy called screaming that adding a wake up. heath believes if his that hadn't been turned away and might test that he might still be alive after his father died his model then developed
5:11 pm
a high fever but the local hospitals refused to admit her so he took her to another clinic question finally tested positive for covert. aso has a prescription does she got her heart doctor to test the code iris a 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 go home x. is if you have to cope at night because one of likely you have it is what they tell me or more likely you have it let's 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 the high number of deaths logic being put down to the size of the black population which is around 80 percent has come round again thinks the authorities should be held to account just feel like my dad was close to the back of the line let's get in the chest because he was like he wants a basically hospital an all white neighborhood just looked out the door to go home
5:12 pm
lever was in control of my day when he went to the hospital us feel like she should be the person that's supply for his death then look at him enough to tell him or to give him a chance to get noticed. and then the government is well why were 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 of a. while our. it's all to come by so fast with me. although really. the american citizen. in the sky efforts to keep tabs on. has been grounded that software called by on the use of drones in the french capital for such surveillance shot at is across the story the view from above
5:13 pm
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 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
5:14 pm
rights groups had warned of a threat to personal privacy they took their case to court and they won. this is one of 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 trying to identify people but simply watch so that they knew where to send the patrols. technology helps but it's not enough human
5:15 pm
presence is the key thing is not going to replace a police officer. but that didn't wash 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 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 parliamentary discussion i repeat this practice is implemented with no prior consultations. many liberty groups might also hope that this case can prove
5:16 pm
a starting point in other countries to where the use of drones to monitor the public during the pandemic has become normalized. 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
5:17 pm
know that they were watching charlotte even ski altie paris in a few moments benjamin netanyahu becomes israel's 1st sitting premier in the dog story and more in a few minutes time. join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know in the face of a pandemic in the face of the virus that spread so rapidly and so quickly throughout the global population you can't really think in the short run about changing people's underlying metabolic states one hopes that we can learn something
5:18 pm
from this. in the long. healthier lifestyles to create a more healthy planet. we're told with a new cold war with china it is not coherently explain to us why even worse is the strategy there is it was also the sad death of harm to. the program benjamin netanyahu has appeared in court on corruption charges the 1st time a sitting israeli prime minister has faced trial. as this report. most troll here today is the attempt to depose me rights when it is against what the
5:19 pm
people who voted for want 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 of balfour 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 while still in office the spotlight will also be on the judicial and prosecution system now netanyahu 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 the defendant is present for the reading of the indictment which is the opening of the
5:20 pm
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 being bought 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. as the case will test the country's whole 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
5:21 pm
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
5:22 pm
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. about and and in a moment of need to challenge facing the u.k. government over the care home sector current accounts for more than a 3rd of the country's entire code of death so. many say their loved ones were left to die due to a lack of testing and care for the most vulnerable when hope to mother until his story. it started with a phone call from the staff to say that she developed a temperature of very high temperature so we went to concerned at the time because she had had infections before and then and then it was really when the doctor
5:23 pm
and i asked the doctor the question did she think they cope. and she said. possibly late more than like clay we asked the. they said they weren't they weren't doing tests. and i also asked the cheap a if she could be tested. they said at that time they weren't test stand. residents in care homes you know there's always going to pray that question out you know was it definitely copay it but she passed away from i am 99.9 percent sure it was bought. or landslide she wasn't wary of having a task and if she didn't have the test area it would read and made the decision to ask her what's going to tell more than 11000 people are now believed to have died
5:24 pm
in care homes since the start of the pandemic in the u.k. justice minister sparked outrage after admitting officials made a choice not to test holmes focusing instead wholly on the n.h.s. and potentially lead to hundreds of vulnerable people going untested as a result. needed to make a choice about testing and we did decide to focus upon the n.h.s. and i think that was absolutely essential in all the justice secretary did state though the behind number of deaths in care homes was a huge tragedy and a matter of great regret here's the one hopkins again speaking about her mother in law. but she was 92 she had a man share books she had a good quality ally and it really wasn't her time to die for i think the government and the care homes brought me down. they've not i don't think they've given them clear guidance on how to manage and to keep the resident sank joel in this pandemic
5:25 pm
and the woman shortage have prioritized their care homes as well because that some that is more now know not to my children we need to look into why so many residents in care homes have passed away due to their we need some answers rarely as to why this is going on out. however even with the n.h.s. as the central focus the health system itself has struggled a lack of personal protective equipment has been a particular problem for medical staff some were even heard of p.p.d. years past its expiring day a colleague you know neal spoke to malcolm kendrick a doctor who was on the receiving end of some of that old equipment. i've been injecting come on time to the you know fact that not only were patients not being tested they were also being distorted deliberately could be a positive indicator holmes it's absolutely ridiculous the thing is that yes i mean
5:26 pm
i mean you find that you know you don't suddenly it's the liver you look at the box and it has a sticker on it saying 2022 and then if you learn all which was me it was somebody else underneath it says 2017 it's an unprecedented health crisis never seen in our lifetimes do you accepted authorities or are doing you know they're attempting to at least do all the callon extraordinary circumstances or not you know we all understand that this thing hit very hard and then suddenly the whole 'd world went to p.p. evil is just not being honest with your stuff you're already you're saying all that got he event that happened and then used to handing out stuff. 'd 10 years probably from the previous wife flu what are you doing you know just and stuff nobody would notice and then you'll all it's all right anyway what did you say it was all right anyway why did you treat us incompetent 5 year olds you can see that my anger is
5:27 pm
really still really raw and. sun seekers looking to enjoy a tourist break at last may have celebrated too soon let's get a to look for the new restrictions that may make the holiday less enjoyable before . missing travel and in need of a break from this crisis well when someone does not reopen i find myself thinking about a summit getaway so let's try a test run and see what post corona travel joyce awaits us. first stop the airport mega excited already it is the 1st time you've been farther than 20 minutes from your house and what do you see queues socially distance of course but so they are everywhere queues for the new electronic check it queues of travelers stopping every 20 seconds to sanitize their hands queues for temperature checks queues of people bored in groups of 10 but of a buzzkill. well done you survive he endless checks
5:28 pm
in queues so now you're on board and the cabin crew picks the extras for me black america scene in full house my gear is not talking about something to be worried about what don't look to the steward's francis also in the movie no pillows no blankets those were not shew ease of pre-code travel a new not true though no middle c. noble passive aggressive elbowing or leg room bottles that all rest is yours. so you head out to your cost holiday adventure to the beach safety valves that you put on 3 piece. now there's something familiar about this speech oh yes another q so you wait you
5:29 pm
wait the finally the cove advantage i'm not joking ushers you win and you find yourself in some size 5 seeing what is glass maze you now have to weave between tool plexiglas sheets to get to your designated. for your. bush we've tried to come up with a solution so that people can go to the beach the idea is to use a modular wall has a separating wall for gyms and hairdressing salon between prions corridor as well as for swimming pools and water parks and office in our you forgot to book your beats not so no tap if you today or we could see at 20 brace that counting the number of beachgoers also if you're hungry there is a strict dress code. if all this just sounds too much to you then that is another option the young industry has used this global pandemic to advertise itself as the safest summer option which
5:30 pm
would obviously have been a full proof plan if i hadn't been for the fact the majority of the world population could afford a bleak and the better traded waves even before the global recession was announced read the room and the room is sad to say that so many sunbathing and cycles in the middle of a sweaty city is probably the closest we'll be getting to a holiday. whew summer 2020. after documentary brings big sagna next on our international agreement are back in 30 minutes time for the latest headlines see about that.
