of our berlin. many italian businesses are facing the heartbreaking decision of whether to cut their losses and close their doors for good the 3 month coronavirus lockdown because the devastating blow to the country small and medium enterprises and particularly the hospitality sector now at least being one of the hardest hit by covert 19 and this year losses could mount to 170000000000 euros collectively many thousands of companies are at risk and considering closure in all this could leave around a 1000000 people out of work. the days of closure killed us cause us more than one kind of them 50000 euros of damage and today due to god 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. 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. look down the current virus and the consequent lockdown has created many problems for us we've lost 3 months of revenue and if we remain closed around the summer we lose even more money unfortunately the choice is inevitable i spoke to my brother and after 59 years we've decided to close the family restaurant in response the telling government made attempts to offer lifelines of support for businesses have complained of these measures had little effect while many say they received no financial whatsoever companies continue to suffer losses as they are still expected to uphold the social obligations to employees and pay taxes all the while being forced to remain closed . that there certainly something more could be done.

and did not understand that we needed immediate help of the companies to have requested money from the state received absolutely nothing but the many reservations have been canceled 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 idea there was an ideological move to this came in anyway they didn't stop them my employees who apply for 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 and i cannot continue because we would risk going into more detail with. the french president or miner micron has resumed his verbal attack on nato's leadership this time branding it brain dead comes after

a naval incident between french and turkish forces in the mediterranean 1120 correspondents in paris joins me on the line harsh words from charlotte why is he saying this. well that it is very correct harsh words from president once again at acting question the organizing action over nato no it's not the 1st time he's talked about meeting in these describing it as being brain dead but on monday night he once again repeat it those criticize. me that i will take you back to my statement from last year on nato being brain dead i think this is the best example of it went to nato members are confronted with the situation we're living in not denouncing it it's intolerable. for president back when it's being frustrated by many elements of. the just. finds its

enemies now france has been reaching out to countries like russia and china and says it shouldn't be on that list in fact he says the thing that should be on the list that everybody is against is terrorism not because it's a common enemy but he's been also frustrated by the way that some supposedly nato allies of the on the posing side when it comes to certain conflicts take of the conflict in syria that's been raging now for many years he has been over the last 3 years operating big into the move the country which has been targeting could use forces the same could to school says that it's been supported and trained not just by the united states but also by france and this michael says is a problem. the questions i asked to open questions that we've not resolved. the position the relationship with russia and turkey who is the enemy so until we resolve these issues let's not negotiate with

a cost sharing the burden sharing is this civil that maybe we need a wake up call. and tensions between france and city have been continuing to rise particularly over the last few months with attacks by both sides on each other and then just in the last few weeks those tensions were heightened even more when they almost came to blows between french and 2 fish vessels in the mediterranean what happened was a french cricket which is carrying out its t.-t. to check that the u.n. involved go on to libya was being monitored and was being carried out and observed they stopped a turkish boat asking them to be able to check was about to was carrying of the turkish boat responded by turning off its transponder not responding apparently to the french frigate and then things escalated even more when allegedly turkish naval vessels tune. fire control radar 3 times on that french frigate

essential e suggesting an aggressive movement france was furious about this now it and many others probably expected a very strong response from nato about a massive squabble between to its members that really did come a bit too close to the bone instead this is what was cite. them in the. line we have made sure that nato military. into what happened. but many have suggested that response of nato was rather weak and said that nato at the moment is essentially being held together with a piece of string with each of its own members making unilateral decisions about what's best for the feature for their own interests rather than the common good of

the organization now there have also been many disagreements not just in syria but also what's going on in libya at the moment mark on his disquiet what tookie is doing there is playing a dangerous game a dangerous game that he says could be stabilize the whole of the region and also could impact europe as well and he's also previously questioned some of the fundamental elements of nature particularly article 5 this is a article when one nato member is attacked who come to it's a mark on his previous he said well to morrow who knows suggesting that may not be something that will happen he's also been very vocal about the criticisms from donald trump of nato the u.s. demanding more money from other nato members and he said as a result of that you europe needs to rethink its own decision and needs to rethink itself much more as a geo political power we mean itself for the. support for the united states none

of which suggests with these new comments president warns that nato is an organization that is more chink in the same direction and the same to. many things of course went to paris with out of date on nato the. spotlight has returned to the previous conduct of the us democratic presidential hopeful joe biden after a member of the ukrainian parliament released new recordings of an alleged phone conversation that took place between biden and the country's former president petro poroshenko with all the details struggling for go. 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 there and talk about you know going after sherman to not to go it's going to be viewed in your. eyes a problem like. the prime minister to slow down the politician behind the leaks under-age or 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 in all. 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 supported recover the d.v.d. . barker pulls us. to a stark 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 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. the president about no president my vice president no. president or 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. founder of the news site this can't be happening david lindorff believes 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 issue 7 and their actions 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 late there 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 uprisings in the cities have people's attention the coronavirus is getting worse and worse in the united states. so to come this hour they use pushing for a tough a stance against china asking it to change position to once hong kong after. trading relations.

i know to no crow. no shots. actually go. well it's true no. points your thirst for action. well here's the funny thing about that in this economy in america is that when a rich person falls on debt credit calls or credit you know they are all money it costs and 0 or negative in the case of many people they get paid to borrow money as we saw with jamie dimon and j.p. morgan what a poor person or a disadvantage person for typically a minority person or a particularly a black person is drawing credit or charge 2025304050 percent 60 percent of payday

loan that's 2000 percent. welcome back the rise of the black lives months of movement in the wake of george floyd stuff assuming he brought confusion to journalism in america don't call it looks now tao a culture of political correctness is proved 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 have a 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 its 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 to fights 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 linson 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 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 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 violence is so prevalent and so on it's so undeniable look we thought 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 walls around their head office the land 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 . us protest against racism have pushed new york to go to the removal of a statue of theodore roosevelt the former presidents depicted on horseback flanked by a native american and an african symbolizing the 2 continents and critics argue it feeds into racial stereotypes the american museum of natural history has asked to

remove the theodore roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts a black and indigenous people subjugated and racially inferior the city supports the museum's request. unlike with many other political monuments the toppling of this one has nothing to do with theodore roosevelt personally but rather with those alongside him that's why instead the american museum of natural history will now name one of its halls after the former leader. donald trump has branded the idea to remove the stature of dick kilis although not everybody agrees with him even roosevelt's great grandson is in favor of it going 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 that 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 analysts law not believe that the push 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 and 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 vote removed because you're offended. because being offended. when whoever is offended 1st went no questions asked we will do whatever you want and we will come up with

because it makes us feel through virtue signaling little look 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 how i feel i have 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 regardless of it 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 revolt 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. offensives united states of offended as we become. 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 were on the agenda e.u. officials pressed china to open the country's markets to european companies and step back from the brink in hong kong the president of the council struck a tougher time usually. the e.u. is china's 1st through the partner but progress is needed in many areas to rebalance this relationship it really clear that we need to resolve to create problems groove. about the proposed national security low for home we called on china to follow the promises made to the people of hong kong and into the international community with god in hong kong's high degree of autonomy and guaranteed freedoms or the chinese premier expressed optimism about the

relationship according to state media he claimed china in the e.u. are more partners than competitors expressed willingness to push for more stable i'm sure we'll ations in these posts in this post and demick era analysts think both china and the e.u. are eager to improve their relations this by us attempts to turn brussels against beijing. there are no deep seated secret conflicts currently between the be in china and europe some of these concerns raised are related to the pressure of the states the e.u. actually already welcome confirmation by china that the reason china us face one trade deal will be implemented for compatibility with a world trade organization obligations and without discrimination against e.u. operators so the you recall expectation that the european express exporters would immediately benefit from this trade for something measures. that we

have yet to see if europe we also sincerely work on a number of market access and regulatory issues such as the 5 g. assets to our way for example i found that the 2 sides between the e.u. yesterday talked more about including vaccine research and a lot more carbon digital economy and expanding the scale and so on so the e.u. side and here to model actress and host to go through some differences so i believe that the e.u. we're not followed us and we do need a pandemic period and. realisation of the conference the present we need. to cooperate and this also means that the u.s. strategy of cooling you to lunch or you cold war going to china has gone bankrupt. let me out of today to i will be back with more lots of stories in half an hour see them.

nuclear become a battleground in the us in vermont people love to. plant. yankee

is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. 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 or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways that our struggle. this is boom box the one business show you care to afford to miss more in washington coming up the world the hard way that is not a luxury item.
