security of their political proportions as the largest locust swarms in decades ravaged their way through drops in east africa and southwest asia. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me arun 1st to france where the pandemic has put severe pressure on the country's already strained health care system calls for an overhaul have now been met with a government promise to initiate talks with hospitals to come up with a plan for reform it comes on the back of heavy criticism of the government's failure to address the health crises during the pandemic so the db and ski reports from paris this is a 2 month review that's been announced by the french prime minister will look through the whole of france's health care system health care system has public hospitals with debts of around 30000000000 euros and for a long time this is

a system that has been creaking we saw way before the pandemic way before hospital services were completely. stretched that medical workers were already out on the streets protesting about issues around their working conditions and salaries some medics telling me that it just wasn't safe for patients to go to hospital so this is even before 900 to give you a sense of how much the pressure there has been on hospitals in france now this new plan is being formulated what would it look at and how will it operate well it's going to include 300 stall from across the medical community so who will be advising the government on the issues that need to be addressed some of the big issues salaries and working hours now we know that the prime minister has said that stuff will see a significant boost in their wages we know that he said that 35 working hour here working hour week phones will also be looked at and he said there will be

a move towards in the future perhaps more online consult a sions we physicians now speaking as he stopped plan the prime minister of france edward felipe really stressed that pay rise to stuff. don't tolerate it but the issue was is not to be the constraints of all kinds must be removed as must be looked at in the same way one of the challenges is to show our gratitude to the carers to preserve their motivation and vacation this recognition is immense in our country and the president said it will be reflected in the salaries in this point i see it without ambiguity the increase will be significant well the french prime minister also talked about investment in the systems talking about a $150000000.00 euros only and he said that some of that massive public that all the hospitals would be taken back in hand now you also acknowledge that there

had been votes criticism of the government not just during the covert 19 and then make but how it instigated the hospital systems in. leading up to that and as i mentioned we saw crew test off the protest by health care workers over a lot of the issues that they saw were tearing their profession apart. to implement the cigar plan you need to have toward ability you see the small ask it took weeks for the masts to rise but today we hear politicians claiming there was never any shortage this undermines the confidence that professionals in the field can have when negotiating with politicians. knew the medals nor holiday vouchers will satisfy us our demands remain the same more nurses medics fire on

their dicks and laboratory staff and the financial recognition that goes with it those words were looking for the government is giving money to everybody to know to airbus before me the most important thing is not right no it's not airbus because when people are sick they're not going to try have a car they're not going to travel far by plane well there is still a long road ahead as those discussions take place but what we do know so far is that the french haven't taken to calling to the reforms that have been instituted by president macaroons government reforms that are addressed in reviewed as part of this 2 month negotiation now and look at the health care system is due to be implemented as part of a new social security nor which will be presented to the parliament in the autumn. we talked to the wrong rubenstein who's a french medic he suspects the government's making empty promises. they're supposed

to be about is i mean you're extremely i think that improvements will happen but they won't be enough hospitals have been screaming about the problems for a year and a half and then we've also got khalid they will tell us yes excellent because that epidemic has passed we have raised your salaries but frankly it's hard to believe there were so many plans already we have huge doubts we don't know how the situation will develop we don't even know what situation we are in now what will actually happen to health care and our profession. one rule for the people another for the elite now is the charge being thrown at the british government as the prime minister's chief advisor refuses to step down after apparently violating strict lockdown rules the incidents happened in march during the height of the u.k.'s quarantine the revelation has infuriated the british public dominic cummings the man at the center of the storm remained unapologetic during a grilling from journalists in downing street throws garden. do you regret what you

did no i don't i don't regret. what i did and so as i said i think reasonable people may well disagree your own scientists are worried i said this last night by introducing an element of personal discretion into the interpretation of the rule as it was the trip to hospital and then there was the dr on day 15. but that apart from the. night of his life something. he said in terms of just trips to break the rules is that people are not going to funerals people not even going into hospital when their kids have been happy to treatment why are you so different don't you think you are at the very least open an apology. i don't think of so i don't think i'm so different and i don't think there's one room for from the and will be for other people. or about rose garden performance wasn't enough to abate the theory of

some with coming for a junior minister for scotland his quick thinking callout in good conscience thanks his constituents while the government backs the p.m.'s advise the other officials are not just in the u.k. also seem to think the rules don't apply to them artes south here taylor explains. that the hoops looks like no one's it and that my friends is this faction of power bar charts and see you're a dominate commies found himself in the doghouse when his wife was showing coach knight hundreds of times he thought what a tough time for cheap you bro trip popping her in that childish with cars and driving 260 miles north to visit his out parrots knock down. no just ring the bell was out hypocrisy yes a far friend also found friend i believe that in every respect he has acted

responsibly and legally and with integrity. and with the overwhelming aim of stopping the spread of the virus and saving lives i mean i know the u.k. government itself does not start its recent polls but i think most would see that the prime minister backing cummings on this slightly goes against its message the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households by staying at home we can protect already h.s. and save lives a message that's been blasted through the airwaves it's trying to don't want to that's kept people imprisoned in that part of them separated from family and i maybe even to attend funerals of loved ones what was though just think a suit he must have known he was setting himself and his psychic up to be batted from all sides from the quarantined public. our. weak

operating. cash. thank you very much good god what a degraded feel she played a tape of her the way they do usually mild mannered christians and listen very soon we see clear repentance including the sacking of cummings i no longer know how we can trust what ministers say sufficiently for church of england to work together with them on the bend demick. and to those who are working and let's shifts on the front line this is me right now heading back into the covert i.c.u. i've worked for the last 2 months this stuff is hard and hard work come see my parents is january frankly coming spits in the face of all our efforts the whole n.h.s. if he doesn't resign i will so incensed the people by the story to even journalists in their hunt for the very latest comment well they just threw away their masks and and shed their flubs and grabbed those cameras because you don't.

know. where you're going to go to how to go from there are going to save the world but quite frankly why should they were must saw gloves or listen to public guidelines dominic cummings starts it don't it companies has shown us that we can do anything we want but if you do you'll get chased by trends fines by police and plaster this video that unfortunately there are a whole lot of dominic's just in very positions of power that's the face of thought and spite of coronavirus you just have to get away to a 2nd home twice and the bottom i find the not time thought to hold 7 the rules i invented i need to see my lover and outrageous hubris isn't just a u.k. specialty the austrian president broke locked out of walls to pull saying i got lost in conversation. i went up for the 1st time since the war done with 2 friends

and my wife with the last strike of the time while chatting i am truly sorry it was a mistake and states like virginia governor got a very great on his own homework assignment when he was caught bad start a beach having said this and so your homework this weekend is to make plans for you and your other family members to have facial protection so apparently normal suffocating in masks or sweating in gloves looking longingly through the window or having your family virtually because it seems it's a free for all kids you know longer have to practice what you preach. storms of desert locusts have been ravaging crops in the middle east the east in africa and also in pakistan and india is the worst outbreak in 27 years of the crop destroying insect 30 for green areas to satiate enormous alpa size all the local stuff pose a direct danger to humans the un food agencies those the swarms create

a major threat to food security in the affected regions. if the weather continues to be favorable for the locals you know good rainfall basically those locust numbers yes they will continue to increase and you have to think about of course in east africa it's already a very vulnerable area you know that they had 3 years of drugs they had it your rainfall so you know locusts and then coronavirus in addition you know to already this kind of fragile area it makes it very very challenging and that this is an unprecedented threat you know to food security and livelihoods and that's exactly what it is you know the people are just you know below the level of famine to stop the famine the morrison well you know we're not in that situation but you know this is something we want to prevent we don't want to you know have the famine so that that is why you know all of these efforts you peals by

a by the feel for financial assistance from the international community is so important. and millions of low cost the time crop fields they can just destroy everything within hours the infrared the originate in dry it lungs where the climate forces them to gambling small patches the greenland $1.00 is built waiving it based on weeding abundantly if you get a food insecurity has led some to call for a joint response. this year in addition to the covert pandemic the new challenges facing the people of the south asia and southwest asia region that's of desert locusts india has adjusted to pakistan the both countries coordinate locals control operate ins along the border and that india can facilitate supply of the post to sign modify on to pakistan also an act is done this year there is breeding in the indus valley which is very unusual and in the punjab plains up near the capital islamabad and normally breeding doesn't happen in these areas but this year it did

because last summer there was such a large breeding on both sides in india pakistan border some of it was quite late and so the locusts it was too cold for them to move to to the coastal plains of iran so that they only made it to the indus valley and that that's why they stayed there so all of this means that more locusts will be coming into the desert areas along both sides of the india pakistan border on they've already started in fact i'm india's already received some swarms earlier this month and this will continue for this month or next month and probably into july as well so it's like a successive waves of swarms coming is not just for a one nighter one week but is it's going to be over a number of weeks and months where those top stories coming up after this short break.

the out. straight home to. the world is driven by a dreamer shaped past and personal of those. things. we dare to ask.

welcome back now at least a dozen inmates have been infected with covert 19 inside an overcrowded prison in the argentinean capital the situation worsened off the point as the iris revokes a measure allowing a temporary house arrest transfer because a number of violent criminals were released but various organizations have been pleading for the measure to be reinstated as the current conditions in the jail could prove ideal for corona virus to wreak havoc this is a video sent by one of the prisoners in the via devotes hope prison where there was reportedly no medical care and social distancing is impossible

a 100 is one of the many who asked to be transferred he's serving the final few months of his sentence and describes the cells of death traps. people are afraid they can die here because of this pandemic there is no medical help in prison and there never has been everyone is nervous including me a lot of time has passed my wife my 7 year old daughter and my 25 year old son are waiting for me at home i missed them very much i have asked my necro nic lung disease that's because i smoke so the risk increases for me if i get killed i wanted the last 24 hours fears of the virus spreading have seen inmates and riots across latin america including in that prison we saw earlier at least $160.00 people are known to have died from covert 19 in south american detention facilities 3 quarters of those deaths were registered in peru but with some violent criminals having been released earlier the public has also been responding with protests in

argentina as crime is a major concern there one mother whose child was killed in a robbery told us the measure was wholly inappropriate. it's just not clear we're all feeling bad no i believe the government shouldn't go that way but demonstrate some justice to the victims who have gone through such who are just because now we have to check for you if those who murdered raped and kidnapped all the children prison term as it should be. in a way of easing restrictions across the us new york temporarily allows non-essential gatherings of 10 or fewer people this exception was made for the memorial day holiday weekend which honors military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces artie's trinity charges updates is on the situation in new york . after spending months inside americans are eager to spend some time now outdoors

but as did cross the country are easing lockdown restrictions in the corona virus from deming just in time for the holiday weekend new concerns are surfacing about potential 2nd wave of the deadly virus morial day weekend in the u.s. causing concern when you're measured quite a bit actually we get invaded actually as all 50 states ease her on a virus lock down restrictions in time for the holiday weekend. alarming video images show flooded beaches and packed pools many not wearing face coverings and failing to social distance this as the u.s. nears 100000 coronavirus deaths with more than 1600000 infections at least 8 states now reporting a surge in new code 1000 cases hard hit new york cautiously pushing forward with its reopening plan we're still in the midst of this covert battle we are making progress here in new york governor andrew cuomo announcing a comeback of sports camping and that marion offices will stay at home orders

remain in place for new york city the epicenter of the outbreak while overall indicators for the state continue to trend downward still 96 lives were lost just yesterday now we have seen in long island regions are set to reopen this week as long as the criteria however it is still unclear when new york's will get back to business reporting from home in new york tradition of us are. welcome to new yorkers have reportedly been offering bribes to plastic surgeon for if they desperately fix and modify the way they look despite the lockdown imposed by the all parties we got a firsthand account from stephen a vine one of new york's top plastic surgeons who's worked with some of the world's most famous people. i think there's a lot of focus right now on on our own beauty biggest we're all participating in these in these suman and skype and personal meetings where where instead of just

talking to someone we're actually seeing our yourself in the upper right or lower right hand corner so i think that's their ass i think putting a mask on your face in some ways draws more attention to your face than it otherwise so i think people are thinking about it a lot so yeah and sure i don't think it's uncommon i have colleagues who are dermatologist colleagues request colleagues who are who are hair stylists all of whom i think have been offered offered higher perks to get their services during this time. the consequences could range from a financial penalty so having to pay a fine to potentially something to do with license or where you can jeopardize your medical license but also ultimately you want to do things when when when you feel safe to do so 1st i'm a doctor and and ultimately patient safety comes 1st so certainly at the beginning of this made i had stopped my elective surgery before the government mandated that

we stop our surgery. i think the 1st thing i expect is there to be a significant amount of pent up demand. trend wise you wonder what they're really being and trying to d.c. to say well people are going to care a lot about their eyes and this region yes they're sort of mass premier goes to their chins about reasonable another thought people have said is that they're going to focus a lot on their bodies because their faces are covered. but we know that they're just plenty of regions on the planet where people and women in particular routine the cover their faces and yet plastic surgery is extremely prevalent in those areas so i anticipate the demands are continuing to. look your best so that you feel your best will be steady. from the coast. and spread to 1000 a slows down here in russia but people are still waiting for the country's borders to reopen for travel and not just to go on holiday but also to reunite with their

loved ones and among them the son of a jazz legend. the for. the. last 2 dates we had. the virus was just picking up and starting to really really get active so by the time we finished it everything was pretty much shut and you know it was just a you know. bad time. we

had you know wonderful experiences with shopping i would make out a shopping list and then find pictures of the things to make sure that you know he understood what i was saying. but yet still you know what there was. it's been too long since i played. people that would normally go to work. there at home and you know less than we want to hear oh oh oh oh

just waiting a few boarders till i can get back in. enjoy and i think there are moments where it's kind of frustrating. to get in you know be appreciative be grateful helps alleviate some of the frustration i'm just trying to stay healthy. thanks for joining us here on out the international we had having a great day back in the minutes with the later. cold war $2.00 targeting china is off the ground gaining momentum some sleep china

must paper the endemic while others claim beijing is an existential security threat to the washington centric world still others say washington and concede we live in a paper little. odd no t.v. no crowd. no shots no. actual news belts because. when the weather is dry no 1st. point she your thirst for action. that's geysers but survival guide book station just like all the stars simply have to travel all the surface. be sure it's still there are you going to get back home

after. all it's no good says a repatriations forget the rest is 7 years. old the separate cars kaiser report. greetings and. welcome back everyone knew another start of another week's worth of hawk watching here on our t.v. you know there was so much out there to cover so today let's kick things off with a story about coverage a little too much coverage if you will i'm talking of course about the news that last week both republicans and democrats in the u.s. senate joined together to pass the usa freedom reauthorization act of 2020. not surprisingly the usa freedom reauthorization

act has nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with codifying indorsing in the ultimately legalising once again the national security and surveillance state that we all call this current version of the united states of america you see after expiring back in march the freedom act reauthorization restores government powers that lets law enforcement collect tangible things tangible things related to national security investigations without a warrant requiring only approval from a secret court the buys a court that has reportedly rubber stamps many requests not reportedly they have these tangible things include things like oh you know warrant less access to your internet browsing and search history without having to prove you were under suspicion of doing anything wrong because you know who doesn't want folks like christopher ray steven elliott or william barr digging through your search history

on line so all those supposed freedom protectors route storming state capitals armed to the teeth with guns and pretend patriotism you know the ones who got scared away from rain you know fighting for. right to reopen the bars and nail salons our elected officials in the u.s. senate were busy shredding even more of our constitutional protections and bill of rights seriously by our stay at home 'd orders they it has nothing nothing on the united states congress says when it comes to removing personal rights and freedoms here in the united states which is why my friends we are always watching the whole us. want to. see this as this. great city this lease just says.
