was. was was was was germany has received international praise for the way in which it's handled the corona crisis but a developing situation in the city of getting and where hundreds of people have being corralled in and forced quarantine into an apartment complex is becoming increasingly shocking all monday it was announced that a 42 year old man had died in the building over the weekend his death was related to an underlying medical condition north coronavirus but it is sure to rising tensions that have fled into violence was 8 around

700 residents remain in the building latest figures suggest at least 120 people have tested positive for clothes at 19 some of those confined to flats a small as 19 square me says families with small children are also being forced to remain in their homes the mayor of good 2nd said they're doing their best to get people tested and out of place called fine mint 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 broader stud does 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

whether to cut their losses and close their doors for good the 3 month coronavirus lockdown cast a devastating blow to the country small and medium enterprises and particularly the hospitality sector and at least be one of the hardest hit by covert 19 this is losses could amount to $170000000000.00 euros many thousands of companies are risky and are considering closure and all of this could leave about a 1000000 people out of work. soon to days of closure killed and cause us more than one kind of them $50000.00 euros of damage and to do. we will find those only 2 or 3 stores who. 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. down the current virus and the consequent lock down have created many problems for us we've lost 3 months of revenue and if we remain closed around the summer we would 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. the response italian government made attempts to offer lifelines of support our business is a complain that these measures of had little effect while many say they received no financial help whatsoever companies continue to suffer losses as they are still expected to uphold social obligations to employees and pay taxes all the while being forced to remain closed. but will be many let up at all that there are certainly something more could be done this deed made our schools and did not

understand that we needed immediate help of the companies that have requested money from the state have 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 as an area where there was an ideological mandeville's came in anyway they didn't stop them my employees have applied 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 but i cannot continue because we would risk going into more debt with the. french president of honor micron has resumed his verbal attack on nato's need to ship again branding it brain dead this comes after a naval incident between french and turkish forces in the mediterranean he has more . posh words indeed from president michael who was once again attacked and

questioned the organizing over nato no it's not the 1st time he's talked about nato in these terms describing it as being brain dead but on monday night he once again repeated those criticisms as usual love let 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 when 2 nato members are confronted with the situation we're living in and not denouncing it it's intolerable the president mike wallace being frustrated by many elements of the jews who denies east including how we define its enemies now front 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 only opposing sides when it comes to certain conflicts take the

conflict in syria that's been raging now for many years he has been over the last being is operating big incursions into the move the country which are being told to take. the same code to school says that it's being supported and trained not just by the united states but also by france and this michael says is a problem with the questions i asked open questions that we've not result in europe the i.n.f. 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 all burden sharing is this all that maybe we need a wakeup call. and tensions between france and turkey have been continuing to rise but to keep 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.

almost came to blows between french and 2 fish vessels the remaining 3 what happened was a french cricket which is carrying out its g.t. to check that the un and ball go on arms 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 fish coke was carrying that the turkish responded by turning off its transponder not responding apparently to the french frigate and then things escalated even more when allegedly turkish naval vessels on their fire control radar 3 times on that french frigate at a centrally you know suggesting an aggressive movement france was furious about this now and many others probably expected a very strong response from nato about a massive squabble between 2 pits members that really did come a bit too close to the bone instead this is what was side. in the military who will

suggest. we have made sure that nato military. cloete into what happened well many of described that statement as being we can suggest is that nato is being held together by a piece of string at the moment with its members making the union lateral decisions which are over their own benefit and not for the common good and we know that there have been many disagreements with macklemore recently describing turkey is playing a dangerous game saying could be in danger in the whole of the region around libya as well as europe and president mark warner is also talked about europe thinking of itself as a geo political force in the future perhaps making it so you good luck to decisions so with all of that going on it seems that nato is so slow. north marching the same

. spotlight has returned to the previous conduct of the u.s. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden this is after a member of the ukrainian parliament released new recordings of inlets phone conversation between biden of the country's former president petro poroshenko with the details his gentle of. 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 to after the tournament or not to go it'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 league's under-age or coach thinks 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 on his own prime minister to make him play nice with par shango will be critical of your current marriage so you'll. be fully supportive of your governor david including barker grocers.

to start coordination 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. president obama no president my vice president no. president or no vice president. never there is 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 never going to keep going around in circles on this one shouldn't everyone at least be held to the same standards. the founder of the new sign this can't be happening dave lindorff believes that the us currently has more important domestic issues to pay attention to. us politics all politics is local and it's true that people really care about like local and national issues and they americans are peculiarly isolationist in their. concern about what's going on in the world is just generally don't care unless 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 cry

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 and the united states. since the european union is pushing for a tougher stance that's china asking it to change its position towards hong kong and all to trading relations. seems wrong. to me. yet to stamp out the attic. and engagement. trail.

when some find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. well here's the funny thing about that in this economy in america is that when a person pulls on. credit pulls or credit you know they are all money. or in the case of many people they get paid to borrow money because jamie dimon and j.p. morgan person who are disadvantaged. minority person or particularly a black person is drawing credit 2025304050 percent 60 percent of payday loan that's 2 percent. the rise of the black movement in the wake of. confusion to journalism in america.

looks now at how 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 and the evolution of language we believe this changes says of 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 a photo of pretext 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 they 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 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 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 or. homes 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 biologist 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 'd and it's still going to attack by the mob for c.n.n. to say network that says these are peaceful protesters meanwhile they're building walls around their head office their land to keep out 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 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 . as protests against racism and push new york to order the removal of a statue of theodore roosevelt the former presidents depicted on whole spoke by native american and 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. well unlike with many other political monuments the toppling

of this one has nothing to do with theodore roosevelt personally but rather his alongside him that's why instead the american museum of natural history will now name one of its halls after the former leader. on terms branded the idea to remove the stand she ridiculous though not everybody agrees with and even roosevelt's great grandson is in favor of it going the composition of the question instead she 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 lionel believes that the push for the removal of monuments is simply 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 vote removed because you're offended. because being offended. when whoever is offended 1st wins no question that we 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 by feel hi i'm i've got rid of all this i've gotten rid of that which is a possibly offensive. it's disingenuous 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 for all or 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 culture can be filled with nothing because it was just. offensive united states of offended as you will become. the you in china have discussed existing tensions during a video summit on monday trade relations the fallout from the crowd virus as well as beijing's increasing control of hong kong are on the agenda eve officials press
