5:05 am
hospitality sector italy has been one of the hardest hit by cave 19 in this year's losses could amount to something like 170000000000 euros many thousands of companies are at risk and are considering closure and all this could leave about a 1000000 people out of work. the days of closure killed more than one kind of them 2000 euro damage and to do due to government unions we will find those only 2 stores with. 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 so serious you old 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 modest little the
5:06 am
earth but instead we are nothing but grains of sand he. looked down the grain of our of sand the consequent lockdown have created many problems for us we have lost 3 months of revenue and if we remain closed throughout the summer or lose even more money the consequences unfortunately the choice is inevitable i spoke to my brother and after 59 years we decided to close the family restaurant and on to our let's start this well in response the italian government made attempts to offer lifelines of support however businesses to complain these measures have had little effects while many dictating they received no financial help whatsoever companies continue to suffer losses as they are still expected to uphold their social obligations to employees and or say pay taxes all the while being forced to remain closed. to that there are certainly something more could be done. and did not understand that we needed immediate help of the companies that have requested money from the
5:07 am
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 as an area where there was an ideological move. i mean anyway they didn't stop them going to the point the subsidies but i don't know if they've received them yet we 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 ship on i cannot continue because we would risk going into more debt with. the spotlight has returned to the previous conduct of the us 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
5:08 am
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 kiev's 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 there and talk about you know going after the instrument or not aggressive that's going to be viewed in your. eyes a problem i hope you're not on the prime minister to slow down the politician behind the leaks under a day or coach 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
5:09 am
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. either as in on his own prime minister to make him play nice with parr shango it will be a critical if your current marriage to new york city will. be fully support to recover the d.v.d. . back to the pool source. or to a starting coordination of not only general means but go in detail if you support. me as a broker now the recordings have not been verified when the last batch hit the news cycle a month ago the biden campaign called them
5:10 am
a nothing burger and said they were 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 my vice president no. president no vice president parents never friends still the current ukrainian president was ruffled enough to launch an investigation into them and there is a pro 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 the founder of the new site the youth this
5:11 am
copy happening to begin to have to say that the us currently has more important domestic issues 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 they americans are particularly isolationist in their. concern about what's going on in the world they just generally don't care unless 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 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 uprisings in the cities have people's attention the coronavirus is getting worse and worse in the
5:12 am
united states. right if the black times not amazement in the wake of jewish friends death seemingly brought confusion to kinnison in the u.s. from court and that's not how a culture of political correctness is paving to make 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 this 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
5:13 am
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 assailant's 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
5:14 am
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 to see 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 prevalent and so on it's so undeniable look result black lives 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
5:15 am
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 . meanwhile u.s. protests against racism have pushed new york's met seawater the removal of a statue with theodore roosevelt the former president is to painted on horseback friends by a night of american and african symbolizing the 2 continents critics argue it does fade into racial stereotypes the american museum of natural history has asked to remove the theodore roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts
5:16 am
a black and indigenous people subjugated and racially inferior the city supports the museum's request. political monuments the toppling of this one has nothing to do with you'd always a belt personally but rather he was alongside him that's why instead of the american museum of natural history on the name of one of its horns after the former leader donald trump though his brand the idea to remove the statue ridiculous although not everybody agrees with that even reserve else great grandson is in favor of getting rid of it. the composition of the question 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
5:17 am
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 legal analyst lionel believes the push though for the removal of monuments is just serving a political agenda mark 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 like look how
5:18 am
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 i i've got rid of all this i've gotten rid of that which is possibly offensive it's disingenuous and you know what happens it hurts the cause 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 full on 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. among the stories to come out right you is
5:19 am
pushing for a tougher stance against china asking it to change its position towards hong kong and also alter trading relations we'll have a look at the details in a couple of. 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 you then. i know to no crowd. no shots. actually helps because. well it's true
5:20 am
no one. points your thirst for action. it is fair to say many of the protesters on the streets of america want social justice nominally speaking that's a positive message the problem is how that message is translated into concrete political demands and when it happens if you don't agree with those political team . again naveen you in china have discussed existing tensions during a video summit on monday trade relations and the fallout from the coronavirus as well as a beijing's increasing control over hong kong were on the agenda e.u. officials press china to open the country's markets to european companies and step back from the brink in hong kong the president of the u.
5:21 am
cancer did strike a tougher time in the normal. the e.u. is charging us 1st through the important but progress is needed in many areas to rebalance this relationship and when it's clear that we need to resolve to create problems grief. at both the proposed national security low for. home we toured on showing that to follow the promises made to the people of home grown into the international community with god in hong kong's high degree of autonomy isn't guaranteed freedoms however the chinese premier expressed optimism about the relationship according to state media he claimed that china and the year were actually more partners than competitors beijing expressed its willingness to him to push for more stable mature relations in these post pandemic era is analysts think both china and the you are eager to improve their relations despite u.s. attempts to turn brussels against beijing. there were no deep seated secret
5:22 am
conflicts currently between china and europe some of these concerns raised related to the pressure of the states the e.u. actually already welcome confirmation by china that the recent china us face and trade deal will be implemented for compatibility with the trade organization obligations and. against you operators so the you recall expectation that the european express exporters would immediately benefit from this trade for sling measures. that we have yet to see if europe we also sincerely work on a number of market. tory issues such as the 5 sets. for example i found out the truth. to you yesterday talked more about including research all carbon digital economy and expanding scale and so on so the
5:23 am
e.u. sides and here to motivate our troops and host to some differences so i believe that the e.u. we're not follow the u.s. and we do need a pandemic period and. realize asia. conference the present we have to cooperate and the this also means that us. who are you to lunch are you cold war going to china has gone been blocked. now with millions of workers around the world unemployed because of the pandemic some companies are being used of throwing fuel on the flames by using the outbreak as an excuse to make savings the french car giant for example is pushing ahead with its plans 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
5:24 am
one plant alone many of them have developed. their entire careers to the company we talked to one of the protesters. in egypt hungry years 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 getting help from the government last week 1700 of our small belies to protest against this plan to close the factory. well the rhino plan consists of slashing fixed costs by more than $2000000000.00 euros they also want $15000.00 job cuts around the world including more than $4000.00 in france and he kyra again believes that the company owners do think only about profits and not people. i think 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 groups but
5:25 am
at the international level. clearly there were no management isn't responding to that problem because for 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 and we're not with think that there needs to be a reaction. isn't the only company currently downsizing its workforce france has announced who will offer redundancy packages to almost $10000.00 star and then in sweden the car maker there volvo does plan to cut more than $4000.00 workers and these are just some of the latest examples so that brings you to the end of this news wrap for this hour you're watching r.t. international good to have a company at the top of the. research

hollywood is both a place and an idea so you've got the movie studios television you've got the music industry sometimes as we know it's also a place where there's a lot of propaganda. to whatever part of the the u.s. government is committed you know you can be and all that hollywood will be following here we're headed 12 months. out i defy hollywood is a caught between anything which is things true. but i think equally it's a propaganda factor.
