park no one suspects there might be other reasons by. the usual this was a step in. and. max 1st time in the summit in singapore and expect to be growing up the. invitation to not just these signs korean and russian but also to the u.s. administration in the past 2 months or so we have not to be a consensus rich north korean leadership. will never be emergency and should you all may not be able to continue he's. leaders you know i think he won't get to speak on all these

3 are. minor incidents but it also depends on how. a ministry should handle the situation but i believe the moon will have come to know how to handle it properly. let's turn attention to the north west you know states the self declared autonomy zone in seattle or an occupation protest by black lives my. very much continuing they moved in after police moved all of their precinct building in the city's capitol hill crowds are building stocking up on supplies suggesting they're in it for the long haul activists. walked through it. when was the last time they used 2 cities at once to my right is the city of seattle typically dreary monday afternoon. the capitol hill autonomous so it's now becoming known as. but what exactly are the goals of this community

what exactly is trying to be achieved here. let's go check it out. currently standing outside of the police department's precinct which has been abandoned now after a series of protests that devolved into riots the seattle police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for chad is the capitol hill autonomous zone this absolutely beautiful mural of the recent black lives that have been lost in these protests so i'm currently walking down the north part of pike's street right now to see from the ground we have a sports car that's been put up i think a lot of people been working on this all week. trying to create

a beautiful little space they have here this is the word here is more really story a lot of people are looking for a president to see what the changes over to be going to do you think this is about police brutality or is this more about systemic racism exists never. think the goal the chances of us having to hear that the goal is the people this is this is the. moment. everybody here or part. to bring everybody together i feel like what's going on here is like definitely different go on for some down at cal anderson park right now which has become sort of a living center for the capitol hill a town in the so and you can see in the distance quite a few tense and people been setting up and and kind of creating slowly over the last couple days living community. like going way way. feels like we're not being listened to. and. that's why it's important that the

noise has to be made to your guns or kind is that it's. so are you worried about the police coming up in here and trying to bust us out trying to move this thing out. really side of the community garden that's been established here you can see that people are really coming together here stablish in an actual permanent garden in the ground i think they're mostly trying to grow food and hopefully the goal of this becoming an actual sustainable community we want to consumerism because it's just feeding into the system even more so explain what you're doing here you know what's the closest people. priority is going to look at the people of color people that are in need everything is free to spend some disagreement about what the name of this this area and the community should be . for

a while it was being referred to as the capitol hill autonomy own or chaz but now they've changed the name to the capitol hill organized protest or chop the reasoning behind this is that calling this area and a ton in the stone. could invite more violence from the federal government or from the police and i think it's very obvious town here that nobody wants more violence . people are going to come here. and like protesting our protests we need some sort of protection. whether that be guns or whether that be our voices we need that the people down here they are not. politicians they're not leaders they are nurses they're teachers they're restaurant workers they are the unheard but they're not rioting they are making music they are making are they are feeding the homeless

they're doing wonderful special things but if the people of the world refuse to listen to the messages that are being spoken down here and they're going to miss out on something very important and very special. this is acquisitions he coming to you from capitol hill seattle thank you for listening. the few from inside while president trump has made his feelings clear about the handling of seattle's autonomous zone blaming local leaders for the takeover. if a governor that doesn't do a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesn't know she's alive she's still going to be it's going to be a love fest this summer you know if they don't do the job i'll do the job and i've already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they don't do the job we will do that you about 10 different things either any one of which will solve the problem quickly this footage is causing some consternation showing a protester a partly hunting an assault rifles to minors that's very much against the law in

washington state a seattle activist told kevin on earlier that from what he has seen so far the protests are mostly peaceful. to be largely quiet what you see looks pretty quiet around juggling somebody's filming you know shoulder and how do you see any trouble . so i think we talk about you know more violence right i think it's sort of out of touch with what artists are see on the ground have come to understand for the last 2 weeks that looting and violence started from the heart and they were violent with flash bangs and. you know sound cannons on times so this is the most peaceful i exceeded. the opposing the if you conservative talk radio host dave perkins who sees the campaigners in the occupied zone should expect a tough response if they keep it up. there's just a variety of. level almost an insult to ordinary americans being

exercised displayed by these people as they try to project having taken over downtown seattle it is now better run before we see recently they changed their name from autonomous zone to occupied something or other because they're sort of. official independent status as a nation that they were so eager to grasp in the 1st week the reason they're doing this is they've realized that donald trump put up razor wire around their compound installed border crossing stations and revoked the citizenship of all the people in an autonomous zone and then begin to deal with them as the international independent country they claim to be anyone that escapes from the be deported back there are all kinds of things that are well within common international law the president could do. but cato another story we're closely following today more than 9. trips stationed in germany. made the order after accusing berlin 'd

of being delinquent. to the nato security. or. but the only countries that hasn't agreed to pay what they're supposed to pay is germany so i said until they pay we're removing our soldiers a number of our soldiers by about half donald trump not happy with germany when it comes to well as far as he sees that not paying its way when it comes to nato the u.s. president saying he's ready to remove half of the u.s. troops that are currently stationed in germany now the figure at the donald trump put forward is around 52000 u.s. troops that's quite a bit higher than the official figures we have for how many people are stationed. what we suggest is included in there is defense department civilian contractors anyway he wants to see that number could down 225000 the reason is well

donald trump's nose is being put out of joint by angle of merkel food over 2 key issues one on trade with the u.s. president thinks germany is tress the united states very badly and the other one is when it comes to energy where germany has been buying up quite a bit of its energy from russia by his germany paying russia billions of dollars for energy and then we're supposed to protect germany for america how does that work it doesn't work it is well worth pointing out that even at the height of the cold war west germany as it was then was buying energy from the u.s.s.r. was it was then as well this probably has a lot more to do with donald trump wanting to hold us l.n.g. liquid natural gas to the european market the issue there though is that l.n.g. is a lot more expensive than russian national natural gas that could be piped directly from russia into germany as is done through the nord stream pipeline when it comes

to this announcement over troop withdrawals though it's shrouded in confusion heiko must the german foreign minister said this it will be. being briefed as to what washington intended to do i would see you as german relations are difficult as you see that the decision has not been 100 percent coordinated with the united states government it is not surprising that it has not been coordinated with the us either or following the announcement by donald trump the german ambassador to the united states. well correct the u.s. president over the role of those u.s. troops that are stationed here in germany that they're there as part of the nato alliance the transatlantic alliance and said they provide the u.s. with an ability to project power well far beyond their borders into play areas like africa into areas like east asia as well when it comes to what's going to happen to

these troops we still don't know at all as i said confusion surrounding the whole announcement there had been talk of some of these troops being relocated to poland we're going to have to wait to find out exactly what happens and when we get a little bit more clarity coming from washington. writing in europe campaigners digging deep into britain's historical injustices are no making cause for the country's leading left wing newspaper to be shut down a 1000 strong petition queues the guardian being hypocritical in supporting the black lives matter movement pointing to the fact that the paper was founded from the fortunes of a 19th century cotton merchant who used slaves the petition also details how the guardian originally supported confederacy in the american civil war coming out against president lincoln's moves to abolish slavery on the paper is just one of the liberal that's being targeted by the left among many other in britain right now

say that race as customers are officially. known cuppa please don't buy o.t. again we're taking some time to. decatur selves and plan proper action before we post we stand against racism which does bother conveniently and also for the fact that the origins of the great british quite literally rooted in imperial history and that the industry continues to use to pay what because in india so really know nothing nafta oh speaking of which even major t.v. comedies are getting a go over from the reappraisal prism. of technological achieve we've had running water for over 10 years underground tunnel that leads us to. david and i have spoken publicly in recent years of our regret that we played characters about the races once again we want to make it clear that

it was wrong and we are very sorry but you know i think if they banned english. and us conversations about it well that that's when britain would truly just pull to pieces. you're watching r t international still ahead brazil the brink of a coronavirus catastrophe overtaking britain to log the world's 2nd highest number of deaths with people's fury on the government's handling of the crisis that's just one of our stories after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

the takeaway then from this. where it's a $2000000000.00 negative net worth company. worth 400000000 and they're issuing international bankruptcy offering stock the take away the news the information the fact is has nothing to do with the car rental company what it says is that the dollar is collapsing the dollar has. collapsed and this causes people to run into things like stock markets as we've seen in zimbabwe as we see it in venezuela this is what's happening in the united states right now today.

just coming up to 21 minutes past 3 o'clock in the afternoon here in moscow welcome back let's start though in america because brazil has become the key focus in latin america's krone virus fights helping us surpass the u.k. in terms of deaths with more than 44000 fatalities because of coronavirus brazilians are increasingly taking aim at president his government over what they see. the crisis. the story. bodies are piling up in brazil now the country with the world's 2nd highest coronavirus death toll grave diggers are literally unearthing the dead and transporting them somewhere else to make room for new arrivals and understandably the new practice has not gone unopposed but if. the president of the republic needs to understand that the brazilian people are going through the worst crisis in its history there are

thousands of dead grieved families the ghost of hunger lucan in the homes of for bella residence president gerald also gnarls continued downplaying of the pandemic has left brazil deeply divided right after activists erected those crosses in protest of the country's high death toll they were destroyed by a supporter of the government one father who lost his son to the coronavirus couldn't stay silent as he passed by the scene. make other. words likely more intended for ball scenario than the actual vandal since the president seems eager to cover up the country's i'm comfortably high death toll a supreme court judge even ordered his administration to resume publishing death statistics after the official site stopped doing so and began wiping information according to polls so narrow though the officials were just adapting the information. the healthcare ministry has adapted the disclosure of data on cases

and deaths related to covenanting the measures allow for more accurate data to be obtained on a trade he's even encouraging supporters to take covert 19 research into their own hands. those people if there is a field hospital or public hospital need you find a way to get in there and film it lots of people are doing this and more need to do it to show whether beds are in use or not. but many experts believe the real situation is far worse than the government is letting on official stats say that rio de janeiro's had 40000 cases of the virus however independent research is in the country say that number is more likely as high as half a 1000000 at the same time the university of washington says brazil will surpass the u.s. in per capita deaths by may july nevertheless thousands of bulls and also boarders are marching on the streets calling for and ends to the lock down as the country faces creeping unemployment. we're

a movement with merchants from all over so small ones to businesses generating jobs in the city i was a peaceful protest to raise awareness among local authorities towards the need to reopen businesses in a conscious and responsible way. we are being barred from working sure kilmeade 19 is out there who need to live with it until we find a definitive q work be that a vaccine or something else we're desperately asking our leaders to let us go back to work one could say this is a low point of the pandemic for brazil who knows what new threats polson are will face as the death toll continues to spiral out of control and who knows what he'll do if it means staying in power. no sooner does france lift its ban on protests because of code 19 health workers head back out onto the streets to remind the government about its pledge to help medical stuff support hospitals our team charlotte does. devinsky spoke to me earlier. now health workers

out in front of the health ministry to cry once again for more money for a system that they say is ailing and save for many months has been about to fall off a cliff edge just get a sense of how many people come to support this protest quote the promise of more money for public hospital something we heard from politicians throughout the cold in 1000 crisis to look down now this is part of the same mentioned it to say from angola for which i sometimes have also been through this they found the protests that are being held up and down the country in fact this is not the only one today there are many other protests being held in front all the same thing health workers saying to the government we need money we need more stuff but we also want to be better paid for what we do we know this promise is supreme made by the government present macaroon sunday night said again that health lucas would be receiving more

money but so far there has been little detail but i've been speaking to people in the crowd to ask them what they make of the promises from the government very quick . we're here on strike because of how grave the health crisis is the political choices that have been made destroy the hospitals so they must be changed we must defend our public service because it's our only well i'm a nurse and psychiatric hospital people must be paid better show movie money moves stole from would think possibly less and just move money generally into the system or some of the requests from the health workers now there is a review underway by the government that review is due to be announced some point in july but many people here have been questioning why it's taking so long ago this movie to come to fruition it is only a 6 week of you but they say you know we were protesting after the streets last year to let you know that. the system and the situation that wound was tenable it

was too difficult this is a system that's about so it won't hold up at the end show but clearly but many people here making sure that the government knows that they will not back down and that they won't get to my own son since i'm not at the very least it's more money for themselves in their own pockets but also within the system that they say needs help. short depends giving us a sense of the frustration part of streets right ok tell me for another fresh slow so because reporting moments marks stakes they're both standing by to join me after about though for more of the stories making headlines this choose the season.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dare to ask. some can fall from middle close to home most of the night muslim are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that either have some some health issues or have some of how this trick about luck a full time job won't always pay for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get she will victim to gun point. if anything bad happens to any

thing that just throws your budget off slightly. better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted anyone that's homeless is history like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be in the world's richest country. in. time x. factor this is the kaiser report actual news for stock market bulls looks like the mayans were a little off in their predictions the world is ending ending soon and nothing could be more bullish for stocks stays of course if you look at the stock market over the past month we've had some extraordinary days especially for companies that declare

bankruptcy right this is the new adding dot com or a blocked chain to the end of your company name and it sends your stock price soaring in particular we've seen like a lot of companies go up over 100 percent in a day once they declare bankruptcy so conspiracy theories claim mayan calendar was wrong and world will end on june 21st that means that the such a bank will inject at least another $100.00 trillion dollars of money if not $3.00 or 4 trillion dollars of fia money what could be more bullish for stocks and bonds wow this is going to be an epic rally could hardly wait. well that's just kind of a joke but this next of mine is not a joke of course and this is that we saw on friday of last week that a bankruptcy judge mary walrath just approved hertz requests to issue new shares now remember hertz is bankrupt as we told you they declared chapter 11.
