and indeed. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. but expose us to paris as figures show more than $50000.00 health workers became infected with corona virus during the pandemic. and the u.k. report shows at the height of the health crisis in the country around 25000 patients were discharged from hospital to care homes being tested for covert 90. tens of thousands of coronavirus deaths in the european union public anger towards its leadership over the crisis the bloc now accuses russia china of waging this information war during the pandemic.

hi there thanks so much for joining us this is r.t. international. health workers a vented their anger on the streets of paris in protest over the working conditions in hospitals comes after reports were published into the number of medics infected by corona virus during the pandemic official sources states there were more than $30000.00 cases in public hospitals and $16000.00 nursing homes and the french doctors pension fund says there were also $6000.00 self-employed doctors who caught the virus took the total number to more than 50000 cases to show that as more details from paris. a demonstration here outside the paris hospital is just one of those judy could laugh a movement of hospital workers shouting at their anger in front of hospitals now it comes as parts of the health service in france have been experiencing unprecedented pressure since the start of the 19 crisis it was already

a service that many had said was close to collapse without a huge injection of money and much more staff and now to add to the feeling of the latest figures show that more than 50000 health care workers caught with 19 it once again begs the question was enough to give health workers to doctors nurses poulter's ambulance and technical staff and many others say in far. only. very very angry because there's been a shortage of staff for years already and this pandemic has created an even bigger problem promises were made but in fact they haven't been capped we still have a lack of beds and not is just getting why us i think that we want ready for this we haven't been protected enough we have a shortage of equipment and that's why we failed those who got infected. these poor ones never have enough people be they were in duty voluntarily they had contact

with infected people from the very beginning there was a lack of equipment beds and tests in germany for example they did quite well maybe because the government responded confidently to social and economic problems and did all what was necessary from the beginning and maybe even before that. i don't want to we want we are not demanding species in medals for our own safety we want $100000.00 want places to be created in a year we demand for evaluation of salaries in public hospitals we demand the nomen of public hospital that would demand an increase in the but didn't will be a real policy to support public hospital. try as i can use as a true little investigation how as if he knows we're going to have france handled the pandemic it was opened by the paris chief prosecutor after more than 43 almost complaints were brought not just by civil groups but also going members of the

public now the investigation will look at the alleged failure to put in place anti virus protection to provide facemasks to producing vaccine and to road testing to identify carriers of the virus the possible charges of involuntary homicide involuntary injury and in danger of life are also being examined now the focus of the inquiry will be the public health body in front song trance alongside the health ministry and also the national prison administration but it will not focus on political nor administrative responsibility and france is not the only country that is asking questions over how the crisis was handled in italy prosecutors are to question the prime minister giuseppe called day along with other ministers such as the health and interior ministers now they want to know why a red zone wasn't in force back in february around 2 towns in the north of the country so with the european countries are merging from the health crisis the focus

is now turning to how they handle dates and there are many who are very critical of the government's demanding to know if they could have done more to save loved ones charlotte even ski r.t. paris. new figures reveal thousands of patients in england were sent to occur so you are sent to care homes at the height of the pandemic with the majority not actually being tested for cope at 19 at the time now the report covers 25000 hospital patients discharged between mid march and mid april when the rules changed prior to april 15th novel patients were tested because priority was given to those with flu like symptoms but it's unclear how many of those who are actually had the virus the british health sector says the situation in the sector is now finally under control. the number of people dying in care homes is also falling figures from the c 2 c. show that there's a 79 percent fall from the peak of the crisis in. the week ending april the 24th

to the week ending the 29th of may the latest one the doctors available when you know this is just the kind of war than half all related deaths in england according to estimates the death toll in the country will be nearly 60000 by the end of june with 34000 of those predicted to be home residents on the us fresh testimony from whistleblowers in the center suggests trying to cover up cases of infection is something we discussed with eileen chubb founder of the whistleblower charity compassion in care believes the behavior of management and certain care homes for the lives of both the residents understaffed at risk. social care has been a major problem for a long time i mean you know we all know the horror stories and bad care homes and. or they're given a good rating and they shouldn't and they don't deserve that i think that we need to look at the social care system and completely change things in the future we

need to learn from this really learn from it not just pour money into it but actually fix it and i think that's why we need a full inquiry into what's happened here and i think as well as social care staff they're treated their lives are of no value that's how that's how they feel and that the evidence is coming across 2 hours their lives don't matter at all and they put it with every day and they do they do a brilliant job there's good staff in every care home this bad stuff and some homes and there's bad homes but mostly there's good start off doing their best and their contact you know it's because they care. now after the e.u. is a coronavirus hot spot during the global crisis it is starting to point the finger of blame the books now accusing russia and china vocus treating a matter of this information campaign during the pandemic and the e.u. commission is also calling on social networks not only to delete everything they

think is fake but also to produce reports on the work they've done with all the details he is broke as they are. often times you hear what europeans see big headlines about disinformation and trolls and you just wonder that the russians or the chinese really have nothing better to do but then you read the headlines again . disinformation waves have hit europe during the current virus pandemic there originating from within as well as outside their opinion disinclination in terms of the corona virus can kill we have a duty to protect our citizens by making them aware of false information and expose the ex is responsible for a gaijin in such practices some years ago europe took action it created east strapped com task force which runs a website e.u. the disinfo to identify and to track this information and think news every year they get millions of euros and the blessings of top europe kratz to do their thing

leading elites in europe is that you can. waltz to the very much older level of program. and so off cause it. won't go all of those too grim for work there all night years who want to bring forward a society or bring forward 5000000000 euro for something like finding create news in 2018 e.u. v disinfo targeted dutch media outlets largely euro skeptic outlets surprisingly enough labeling their stories fake news but which they were soon forced to correct themselves because they lied and because the lot of them bassman for the e.u. our analysis demonstrates that e.u. vs does in force headlines and summaries border on dissent from asian according to the easter outcomes own definition of the term so they visit r.t. for example and report

a sentence entirely out of context such as this bill gates is working on deep population policies and plans for dictatorial control of world politics that's insane you might say how could our t. say such a thing well we didn't here's the full extract. and italian legislator has succeeded in taking the absolute theories of the koran epidemic to new heights by using her platform in parliament to denounce bill gates as a vaccinate and alleged globalist tool so odd like many european and italian outlets route a story about and i quote absurd theories which by the taliban m p e u v disinfo cut out the part where an italian m.p. said it and ignored the part where a plethora of other media outlets reported it and tried to frame it as if odd she said it like there was no m.p. and nazi was publishing huge conspiracy theories and you'd never know unless you

went to check the fact checkers though it's a stretch to call them that the creative artist came from a liberal tree and recurring conspiracy theory that acars proved kremlin dissin from asian about the artificial creation of. a recurring program and decent from conspiracy theory naturally think ripped it out of context in that segment odds he was discussing how the media itself gives crazy conspiracy theories credits by paying attention to them but really really the unsubstantiated claims of who had nineteen's lab origins up russian this information have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the would hand institute of parole gene was the origin of this virus. yes they have we don't have certainty and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory the statements can both be true i've made them both administration officials have made them they're all true

why isn't my pimp a secretary of state on that least or donald trump president of the united states y r t which never even made the claim because that isn't what strata call east is paid to do if they can't find anything to report. bad big bad russia well people above will ask questions and cut funding european commission didn't fight the governments well they didn't find a consistent ready to end a covert team to clamp of the corner crisis i think it's a very dangerous way and the moment the rupee incompletion tries to district. the attention away from their own crisis and bring forward an enemy in which that is not a good i can't speak for other publications that wound up on their website but every entry for artie's either a made up allegation or

a sentence completely pulled out of context and for this east strata com gets about 5000000 euros a year to 5 russian this information or make it up that is when they are busy targeting euro skeptics at home how many mosques or ventilators could you buy for that those medical supplies that were soon badly needed when the pandemic hit when tens of thousands of europeans died because of shortages when europe rats had had a big forgiveness were not there on time when italy needed a helping hand at the very beginning. and yes feel that it is right that europe as a whole offers a heartfelt apology and that's why the desperate to make up any way to blame russia or china anything to avoid apologizing they get but hats off to strata called

east you ask any seasoned mob caught tell banka a 100000 euros a week isn't easy as an idea high propose a magical european agency to root out and banish malign spirits because even if good still to exist strasse called least knows how to conjure them up for money. or clothes neil monuments across the globe are facing demands to be dismantled racing again questions of how dark periods in history should be handled the story after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you there.

welcome back to the war on colonial statue spot by the black lives matter movement is spreading across the globe now a statue of a british naval captain has been removed to new zealand so how milton was captain during a series of bloody battles with local maoris over disputed territory the monument was dismantled at the request of local tribes over that also been a threat by what it would be removed by force and there of the city of hamilton named after the captain 3rd or thirty's understood that some might view this is being culturally offensive and that they would now think of relocating the statue of those their local tribe leader called for a review of all colonial statues and place names to symbolize oppression and colonialism. in britain after the bad guys mount a movement managed to turn down the statue of slave trade edward colston and throw it in the harbor and now demands more monuments be removed. or went to

a protest in oxford. what is it that you hate about the stop change it was not like most of it was pretty much built on some kind of rock would cause an excuse to die i am an ox and i'm here for a protest against a statue a statue of a victorian imperialist called cecille right it's the he did indeed he indeed t.j. was successful very good so was the founder of the southern african country of ready d.c.s. which is now modern day zimbabwe and it was actually named off to him in 1895 but he sort of see that as someone who really pushed for this idea of white

dominance and colonialism in africa you've got all the people here taking him by him and thus they would meaning now they're sat down in solidarity with the movement the b.l.m. movement it's really big now. tearing down the statue. like. a scene of an old sushmita shape yet it was a symbol this is a day when the see the moon and the boats see them like senses. on a group. of them really. do it just as we do with the issue. j.c. . says she didn't just say jesus. do.

vergers that just let's celebrate. the statue. was was was it. to. see the statue wait where is it there it is then they can always learn more about the bad legacy and the bloody legacy rather than if it was taken down right but you don't want to be on camera saying this because. it is a very sensitive because it's a sensitive issue that you get that's from an anonymous academic in oxford there's a sniper. i started for the police offices above the staff here.

protecting and. i have to say this has to be the most highbrow. and intellectual protest i have ever attended. which is very fitting seeing as it's a space. story and believes that while this monkey in colonial monuments does have good intentions the history of the dark past shouldn't be abolished. but i think it's important to remove these symbols of these people who are being celebrated as heroes what they represent is the symbols of racism and it's important also to keep those symbols and put in museums because i think it's important that we recognize that history we can't whitewash that history and we can ignore that history we have to study that history in the united states we've got slave holders

who are some who are early presidents but we have to study each of them as in the historical context that they lived and somebody like jefferson has some great ideas but he also has some very backward very disgusting ideas and all countries have histories that there should not be and are not proud of but the way to deal with that is not to ignore it or to teach students lies about it and it's a confront it directly because that's still part of our d.n.a. it's still part of who we are all over the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi is leading the fights against confederate stunt shoes on capitol hill she even sent a letter to the joint committee on the library asking for them to be removed due to the links to racism can you imagine jefferson davis alexander

stephens treason it cheese and against united states and the statue of ophelia because there's states like him here. the 11 statues display soldiers and officials who served in the confederacy and fought to preserve slavery democrats a lot of the calling for them to be taken down along with a number of major military bases being renamed president terms already stated he simply were reconsider the names of military installations because they're part of u.s. history. and america's reassessment of the past doesn't earn their big corporations have recently taken a closer look at how they presented themselves h.b.o. for example is temporarily pulling many favorite classics that romanticize slavery from this platform or big tech firms of tweet their voice assistance to support the black lives matter movement let's get taylor takes a closer look. all i know about them is that why not our advice delete. i think. past

a policeman well yes it and then she didn't spend that stature will he just delete or interesting interesting i mean haven't done anything yet but my feet so. what started as a protest against police brutality and inequality has evolved into one. of the walls but i only really examine our history and build this precious free term pia the excessive use of the corrective pen how about some with the feeling that reexamination is a politically correct synonym for censorship to a cinema off for example my sister was actually named after the house and the highest grossing movie of all time gone with the wind and why didn't this shot when she woke up just out her cell does so non grata of the 8 mask pool the cult movie from its top form these races depictions were wrong then and are wrong to day and

we felt that to keep this up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions will be irresponsible and will the tower but with a little history lesson in beginning to really get you in the mood another classic little britain has also been dropped from streaming topples because of it he's not faced tariffed is what i see someone said is unfasten because well justin trudeau he's still prime minister isn't he and what. it is to now become repetitive tell me about him but the proletariat which as you are no me. there's a lot of historical programming available on b.b.c. i player which we regularly review the times have changed since little britain 1st aired so it's not currently available on b.b.c. i player also now its toes huge it just pulled. and a public one when you do not just roll it into the river after this oh don't worry if you see children wandering around

a bit lost that street might be renamed new york doing up by bleeding was a street in each of its 5 hours lies nasa confusing and paint here on the actual road itself so no one can accuse the authorities on e bay in the wrong direction what will be clear is the street name and on the streets of our city is that message that now the city must fully fully deeply feel and this nation must as well that black lives matter even language itself is being written probably the last card you ever thought they could get into any trouble was the dictionary punish but one woman in missouri found that not steal mariam must have doesn't create a systematic oppression of people it is merely not entry into the white racism so it undergoes a serious revision also defined as changing absolutely everything there being canceled this is the kind of continuous revision is part of the work of keeping the

dictionary today it's based on rigorous criteria and research we employ in order to describe the language as it's actually used what i'm johnny the what races might be banned from the constitution all together we have to learn racism there or greece should be removed from the basic law there is no such things as arrays there are only people and finally you might have seen that people say all as maps are not specifically black lives massa gets a bit riled up well don't worry because now your food will keep you on the straight and narrow searing wise not. to use race. transcends science to. write and write nasa dot com and i actually have a. i got serious when i asked this fire another question is when siri can't delete history i do not. come out of syria why is the shah is

suddenly well apparently the answer is yes he cam. ok well we have done and that is it for today for most of reps a possibility we're going to hand over now to our colleagues in london it's time for our 2 u.k. to take over the have updates on the top stories for you in just over 30 minutes to join.

they can come and blow our brains out at any given time and we can't really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people outside of war and legally get away with. all the fire crawls stillbirth all the troubled history failed to point its hollow plane to k.k.k. exists because america wants it to exist the of the biggest terrorist group to ever operate in this country and they're dead to media war saul's and the people who destroyed the world trade centers are the scroll why.

is you will be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is true watch is face. in the world corrupted you. you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. no crowd. no shots.

actually felt. when it struck both of those. points your thirst for action. greetings and salutations. i tell you my friends here in washington d.c. you can feel you can feel the fear on the streets it's palpable it's as thick as virginia humidity in august but this fear of my friends isn't coming from the thousands of protesters that have descended on the imaginal mall or lafayette square or the d.c. residents navigating both the colbert 19 pandemic and the black lives matter protests no.
