a small as 19 square me says families with small children are also being forced to remain in their homes the mayor of goods again said they're doing their best to get people tested and out of place called fine meant those who tested negative for grown the virus twice can leave the building in a group of 3 with chickens in check outs however critics of the local government say not enough is being done and that the blame for any further deaths will fold squarely on city officials mr cohen this broad studds not want to be responsible for the deaths they now have to change the poses massively these are the scenes on saturday were born out of pure desperation violence involving fences bottles and. i work was met with pepper spray 8 police were injured in the fighting with one resident later arrested the corona break in goods again isn't the only one in germany in the state of north rhine-westphalia

a meat packing plant is at the heart of a coded spike of thirty's there of called in consular assistance from poland bulgaria and romania to convince migrant workers to accept a new lockdown after over a 1000 cases were detected that is no easy task there are 1300 properties where staff and their families live and where we need to observe the quarantine rules germany's track treece and test program is still regarded as one of the best ways to deal with the spread of corona but localized spikes in covert 19 serve as a visceral reminder that the virus is still very much an ongoing concern peter all over r.t. berlin. meanwhile many businesses in italy are facing the heartbreaking decision of whether to cut their losses and close their doors for good the 3 month coronavirus lock down their cast

a devastating blow to the country small and medium enterprises and particularly the hospitality sector italy has been one of the hardest hit by k.v. 19 and this year's losses could amount to something like 170000000000 euros many thousands of companies are now at risk and considering closure most are small and medium sized businesses which are often family owned or this could leave a bad a 1000000 people out of work. 2 days of closure killed us cause us more than one kind of them 50000 euro damage and to did you to go with 19 we will find those only 2 of the 3 stores who are on. the current situation is sad this restaurant began in 1910 things to my father i have been managing it for 58 years and i can tell you that i have never really seen such a desperate moment. serious you know the old it is unthinkable that human beings

can experience all this i believe that it is basically a punishment from heaven perhaps we have always thought of being masters of the earth but instead we are nothing but grains of sand we call we look down the grain of sand the consecrate lockdown has created many problems for us we've lost 3 months of revenue and if we remain closed throughout the summer we lose even more money a consequence unfortunately the choice is inevitable i spoke to my brother and after 59 years we've decided to close the family restaurant. where response to telling government did make attempts to offer lifelines of support however is this is the complained these measures have had little effect while many say that they've received no financial help whatsoever companies continue to suffer losses as they are still expected to uphold their social obligations to employees and also pay taxes all the while being forced to remain closed. well that the mother let it all out there certainly something more could be done this deed made us close and did

not understand that we needed immediate help or the companies that have requested money from the state have received absolutely nothing but the many reservations have been cancelled i'm thinking of closing everything because i have many employees in if i don't i risk getting into a lot of debt if things go wrong for 2 months you risk failing so it's a very bad situation is as an area where there was an ideological millis came in anyway they didn't stop them by employees who apply for subsidies but i don't know if they've received them yet we too have not received anything for 3 months this was our only job for 3 months we've been continuing with the money we had to but i cannot continue because we would risk going into more debt with. the spotlight has returned to the previous conduct of the u.s. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden that after a member of the ukrainian parliament released new recordings of an alleged phone conversation between biden and the country's ex president petro poroshenko with

more details his jackie. another wave of edited recordings of phone calls between uncle joe and then president of ukraine petro poroshenko have surfaced so the saga continues is there no clever name for it yet shall we just call it ukraine gate to the gift that just keeps on giving again the 2 are alleged to be discussing foreign and domestic policies but how much can be classified as every day diplomacy and where's the line that pushes things over into meddling territory like this snippet that seems to show biden objecting to the head of a major ukrainian gas company losing his position from their talk about you know going after the chairman of not to get us again that's going to be viewed in your. eyes a problem i hope you're going to tell the prime minister to slow down the politician behind the leaks under a dark conchs things that biden wanted to keep that guy around in order to use him

as a tool against russia's energy influence of course democrats been pushing for a corruption case to be launched against the bidens for a while now and this chummy with trump's personal lawyer but there's no ignoring the fact that that reported recommendation was made while biden's son was working for another major gas company in the country you remember the one pershing go apparently wasn't above asking for a dose of good old american pressure either as an on his own prime minister to make him play nice with par shango it would be if you critical of your current marriage to new york so you'll. be fully supportive of your government david including back to the polls those. who are starting coordination of not only general means but go in detail if you support. me as a program now the recordings have not been verified when the last batch hit the

news cycle a month ago the biden campaign called them a nothing burger and said they were high. highly edited and partially to himself said the recordings were fabricated adding he was never pressured to do anything near. the president about no president and vice president no. president no vice president. never. still the current ukrainian president was ruffled enough to launch an investigation into them and there is a probe going on in the us senate in 2 affiliations of joe biden's son hunter with ukraine much to the democrats' displeasure but edited or not if these recordings are verified they should be raising eyebrows at the very least i mean trump was full out in peached over a 2nd hand reports you know for allegedly pressuring ukraine into investigating the bidens ever going to keep going around in circles on this one shouldn't everyone at

least be held to the same standards. well if found with a new site this copy happening david lindorff does believe that the us currently has more important than s.t.k. shoes to pay attention to. u.s. politics all politics is local and it's true that people really care about like local and national issues and americans are peculiarly isolationist in their. concern about what's going on in the world is just generally don't care and most americans are involved with regard to biden. it's like they're the only people who would care about it are republicans and they can't get an impeachment because the democrats control the house they're not going to try so it's not going to go anywhere in that sense later and people are looking at the big issues in the united states right now which are domestic it's the uprising serious issues have people's attention the. coronavirus is getting worse and worse in the

united states. now the rise of the black lives massive movement in the wake of george schultz death and seemingly pro confusion to journalism in the us don't cotton to snout have a culture of political correctness is proving to be problematic. u.s. protests over the killing of george floyd have sent shock waves across the globe the call for equality has been heard by many in the media but with new ideas emerging on how to combat racism you have to wonder how much of an effect they're really going to have like the associated press's new policy of capitalizing the b. and black people i would discussions on style and language consider many points including the need to be inclusive and respectful in our storytelling in the evolution of language we believe this changes those ends a.p. hopes this new policy will make it storytelling more respectful to the black community and the company will decide whether or not to do the same with the term

white people within the month but some outlets have gone farther than just make changes to their style guides national public radio came under severe criticism after it published an article about right wing extremists attacking protesters with vehicles the original photo featured a protester being hit by a car but it failed to inform its readers that the driver was actually attacked by those protesters beforehand so n.p.r. took it down the previous version of this post and story included a photo of protest of being struck by a car in louisville kentucky the photo chosen by editors does not appear to be an example of the assaults described in this story and has been replaced one could also say that the new york post was guilty of lazy journalism it published an article about a black american who brutally beat a macy's worker he was accused of using the n. word and the post seems quite quick to jump to the assailants defense although the security footage later showed that the attack was completely unprovoked butlins in

the workplace of any kind is unacceptable all of the materials from the evening have been reviewed and it's clear that the attack was unprovoked we are working closely with local authorities in this investigation and will defer any further comments about the case to them proposed a c. so what's the real problem with modern journalism if you ask some in the mainstream media they'll tell you that news. rooms are not diverse enough a lot of black journalists who are having to experience the trauma of what is happening generally to black people in this country are also having to deal with newsrooms who are inadequate when it comes to diversity and inclusion based on which newsroom was an early target of the violence though i wouldn't be so sure the protestors really agree with c.n.n. and the media continues to try to report this because one of their choice that they have because the narrative of left wing biologist so probably been so on it's so undeniable look we felt like lies matter attack c.n.n. c.n.n. is a massively leftwing network and it's still going to attack by the mob or c.n.n.

the same network that says these are peaceful protesters meanwhile they're building walls around their head office that land you about those peaceful protesters but they are scared they don't want to upset the mob they're brave that they're going to be the next victims and the sad thing is that of course nearly to the mob never works they only snow blood in the water and it does not protect these people from being the next target or whatever the case is this most recent wave of unrest is undoubtedly having a profound effect on modern journalism the final product however remains to be seen . well the u.s. protests against racism have not pushed new york's mayor to order the removal of a statue of theodore roosevelt the former president is depicted on horseback flanked by an $1000.00 american and also and african symbolizing the 2 continents but critics have faints into racial stereotypes the american museum of natural

history has asked to remove the theodore roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts black and indigenous people subjugated and racially inferior the city supports the museum's request. well unlike with many other political monuments the toppling of this one has nothing to do with theodore roosevelt personally but rather who is alongside him that's why instead the american museum of natural history one man named one of their holes after the former leader donald trump though has branded the idea to remove the statue would kill lists although not everybody agrees with him even reserve else grandson great grandson is in favor of it going. shaun of the equestrian statue does not reflect theodore roosevelt's legacy it is time to move the statue and move forward if they are removing it it should be placed in the museum it's our history our goal your fanciful or otherwise this is pretty obviously colonialist

a reasonable statue like maybe just replace it with any other statue of data roosevelt the thing about statues is that just as we are all different we see things differently when i look at this i see 3 strong people from different backgrounds coming together it doesn't mean my views the right one but it creates dialogue and dialogue helps us grow media and legal analyst line or believes the push for the removal of more humans is just serving a political agenda look i don't want to seem crass and what does seem mean spirited but nobody cares about the teddy roosevelt statue nobody nobody even knew all was there you got it we explain it to people the rule today is if you are offended you went. even if i'm offended by that would you've removed because you're offended because being offended. when

whoever is offended 1st wins no question that we will do whatever you want and we will come up with because it makes us feel through virtue signaling little of how great i am this conspicuous display of understanding i'm going to go ahead and i'm going to remove this it never ends because it makes people feel good look at me look by feel hi i'm i've got rid of all this i've gotten rid of that which is of possibly offensive it's disingenuous and you know what happens it hurts the cars it dilutes it it makes people feel like you don't really care about this and the next time somebody does say something regarding something which is really offensive you're going to say you're doing it again aren't you you're doing this for political or so to reach for all not all this time i'm offended no no that's what you said last time who is it this time who's bothering you now pretty soon our our history our cultures would be filled with nothing because it was just. offensive

the united states of offended as we've become. still to come from. pushing for a tough a stunts against china pascua to change its position towards hong kong and alter trading relations we'll have a look at the details on that plus get reaction take just after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. kind of financial survival john today was all about money laundering 1st to visit this cash into 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your

something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the tough talk or say we just have to give him a call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious muhlenberg ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. again for a match you know what money laundering is highly illegal if you watch kaiser of course. hello again now the e.u. and china have discussed existing tensions during a video summit on monday trade relations and the fallout from the coronavirus as well as beijing's increasing control over hong kong rule on the agenda a u.s.

official press china to open the country's markets to european companies and also a step back from the brink in hong kong to present the you can something struck a tougher tone than usual the e.u. is china's 1st through that important but progress is needed in many areas to rebalance this relationship really it's clear that we need to resolve to create problems groove. both of the proposed national security low for home and we call it and showing that to follow the promises made to the people of the phone call and into the international community with god in hong kong's high degree of autonomy don't guarantee its freedoms however the chinese premier did express optimism about the relationship according to state media he claimed that china and the e.u. are actually more partners than competitors beijing expressed its willingness to to

push for more stable and mature relations in the post pandemic era experts that we spoke to think that both china and the e.u. are eager to improve their relations and work productively and meanwhile u.s. attempts to turn the e.u. against china in their views a fading. there are no deep seated secret conflicts currently between china and europe some of these concerns raise are really due to the pressure of the states the e.u. actually already welcome confirmation by china that the reason china us face one trade deal would be implemented for compatibility with the a world trade organization obligations and we've been nation against operators so the you recall. that the european expects porters would immediately benefit from this trade for selling measures. we have yet to see if europe we also sincerely work on a number of market. tory issues such as the 5 sets to our way for example.

now with millions of workers around the world unemployed because of the pandemic some companies are being accused at the moment are throwing fuel on the flames by using the outbreak as an excuse to make savings french car giant for example is pushing ahead with its plan to restructure some plants and close others dozens of angry workers they protested outside one of the company's facilities around 4000 people work at just one plant alone many of them have devoted their entire careers to the company we talked to one of the protesters. i have been working at the factory since it opened 23 years ago when we found out about the job cuts and the closure we were outraged this group raises billions and is moreover a getting help from the government last week 1700 of our small belies to protest against this plan to close the factory or the rhino plan does consist of slashing

fixed costs by more than 2000000000 euros they also want 15000 job cuts around the world including more than $4000.00 in france again they believe the company is thinking only about profits and not people. we are in a period where profit will be pursued aggressively that means another 1000 job cuts as well as deteriorating conditions and lower salaries it's an attack on the workers and we have to deal with it not factory by factory or group by group but at the international level clearly there were no management isn't responding to that problem because for a factory owners the only goal is to maintain shareholder profits during the crisis and to achieve that they become more exploited we have no trust in result we think that there needs to be a reaction already know it's not the only company currently downsizing its workforce air france for example has announced it will offer redundancy packages to almost 10000 staff then in sweden the car maker there volvo does plan to cut more

than 4000 workers and these are just some of the latest examples so that brings you to the end of this for this hour he watching i think could have a company more from us in 35. international memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media or a part of a global news platform you can submit your published works in either video format go to award go to r.t. dot com and it until. the world is driven by. one person.

of making a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. and that was the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis that's going to change of course after. once the cold war begins. little people think that hollywood is a free plates holywood is strictly defined by only one side of the business and the other side is ideology. how would i define hollywood is they call it a tree manufacturer which i think's true but i think equally it's a propaganda for. nuclear power and so become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's

a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle on r.t. . is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so.
