no i feel still released from the course for me which resists and mr slope could. go chill the truth. will settle into. that. we think you minds be so it soldier to piss off the boots she's wearing. which to the soul looks like to move a possible to put your little. sure stuck in with some russian police force.
12:31 pm
train reaction process in the reactor 3 a tremendous heat which scientists have learned out of control. is really patriotic seem to harness the. i was so excited about nuclear engineering because i thought it would solve the world's energy crisis is exciting science to realize you've got the power of the sun inside that reactor and they are so all inspiring when everything works. to refer when making energy the problem is that everything does work the time japan's a nuclear nightmare continues a 2nd hydrogen explosion at the fukushima daiichi nuclear complex destroyed the reactors exterior all 3 daiichi reactors have nuclear fuel rods that have been exposed to some degree so they are teetering on the edge of a melt. you need to sit.
12:32 pm
there. nobody. can get you in. a more serious one concerning that situation in japan and i'm no joy in life from. going to some that were reporting at the moment that they're all suggestions that a partial nuclear meltdown is no way this is not a nuclear chain reaction this is not a nuclear bomb this is the radiation left over after the chain reaction has started sort of sorts of interrupt but you say this is not a nuclear bomb but would the effects be the same as a nuclear bomb if obviously it does reach meltdown and there is an explosion. the chemicals that are going to be released are similar actually the chemicals released from other the radioactive chemicals released from a nuclear bomb disappear quicker then the radiation that is released in a nuclear power plant all we're looking at an apocalypse this is true and noble on
12:33 pm
steroids do you think it's definitely going to happen or do you think crisis could be of. no i don't think crisis can be averted. because we know her containment building of the d.b. spacy nuclear reactor could keep that power plant shutdown longer than expected 1st energy says it will be stored in the plants controlled or cracked displaced those who live in the shadow of deep respect see see any problem can be alarming i don't give a whole line of thought back to once in awhile when you hear something like that the concern should. be nuclear regulatory commission is monitoring the situation. indeed. point nuclear energy center in
12:34 pm
a condition no one wants to see with black smoke pouring out of these photos were posted on social media as responders on the sidelines plus these firefighters nearby her client went in to find a transformer turning. new york governor andrew cuomo came to see the response up close for himself this was a relatively minor situation but we're talking about a nuclear power really minor situation. radioactive tritium is leaking from 3 quarters of all u.s. commercial nuclear power sites and a cancer causing material often seeps into groundwater from corroded buried piping and that's what the associated press concluded after a year long investigation. southern california edison says it will be closing in the troubled 703 nuclear. good.
12:35 pm
12:37 pm
is the host. for my achy. the town born in this very close knit town. the people really care about one another. and we're more than just neighbors to great community. when people think of the state of vermont they think a dairy farms. in fields they think a maple trees maple syrup. they think of rivers in pristine lakes. and we got a nuclear power plant right on the southern border. for my yankee welcome to romano . if people think
12:38 pm
that there is a radioactive problem at this plant in vermont our vermont brand is done want to drink our milk who's going to want to who's going to want to use our sear who's going to want to come here and drive past that. no. no no. he just has to go shut up. shut. down safely no doubt. very much. there is no source of energy in this world that doesn't have risk associated with
12:39 pm
it in nuclear it is very very low so i feel it's a very safe technology our job is to protect public health and safety and never have an accident that jeopardizes public health or safety so that's with us every day people like me come in here in the $650.00 men and women the work here that is our focus the safe operation of this plant. i live right across the street from vermont yankee and they've always been a good neighbor i have children that go to the school which is also right across the street from my ear. you don't move to vernon and live in vernon if you're
12:40 pm
worried about the point both our girls live in town or 6 grandchildren live in town in fact my my youngest daughter lives down the road here well as the crow flies it's less than a half mile from the point. where we don't worry about the point of being here. i live 70 miles from the vermont yankee nuclear power plant and what that means in terms of any sort of incident or accident that might happen in that plan is that if it was a serious incident most likely i would no longer be able to live in my home the whole area would be contaminated if you look from fukushima. i would lose my home and my community where i've been for the last 30 years of my life and i would have to relocate to some other place it would be
12:41 pm
a complete disaster. people shouldn't have to live with that sort of risk. that's not acceptable. i have a passion for justice. and there's always a lot of our going to be done our area and that's the way i have lived my life i'm frances crowe. and i live in northampton massachusetts and navy 3 years out and i've been involved in trying to say no to this fighting of the adam and all of the consequences of it since night jane 45 when i heard about. the rabies. i am a member of the shut it down authentic it group
12:42 pm
a group of women that came together to shut down. with our batteries and action. it's that hot yes ok we meet once a month we have a pot like here my house and wave figure out what we're going to do and then we do it. for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no claire power plant and if there is that accident at all by this area of knowing and maybe all of new language and uninhabitable for generations. you started to run in 1972 it only had a license to run until 2012 in 2009 they applied to the nuclear regulatory
12:43 pm
commission to get another 20 years on their license so they could run it said 2032 the state of vermont asked me to oversee from a yankee and see if it was reliable enough to run for true 20 more years so i was chairman of the oversight panel that's looked into vermont yankee in 2009 we found 80 problems but if they cleaned up the problems we all signed a report saying reminding he could run for another 20 years. there a year later we found out that they were lying to us entergy on a number of occasions including under oath before our public service board. denied the existence of. underground piping carrying radioactive materials 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 show business i'll see you then
12:44 pm
. we go to work so you stay home. you see a romance most trusted news source says but channel 3 knew. more trouble for a vermont yankee a concrete trench at the plant is unexpectedly filling up with radioactive water radioactive water discovered in a concrete ditch at the nuclear plant contains high levels of tritium the tritium
12:45 pm
found at the plant is 100 times the level deemed acceptable by the nuclear regulatory commission the tritium concentrations are in sky high nuclear expert arnie gundersen says this is yet another indication the aging play it should close his accuser a leak in a pipe or a leak in the tank that pipe connects him underground pipes that vermont yankee originally claimed did not exist until after the 1st leak was discovered gunderson was on the public oversight panel when dank he made false statements after g 8 his parent company says it was miscommunication nothing more the radioactive warder contained tree him lots of trivium but it also contained other isotopes he contained strontium 90 which is a bone seeker and causes leukemia because cesium $137.00 which is a muscle seeker causes heart disease they contain cobalt 60 which is a very high energy gamma source then a whole bunch of other isotopes minimal all of those started to work their way into
12:46 pm
the soil and has definitely entered the connecticut river through the human all these radio. active isotopes can cause cancer. why is the tritium leak of concern to us ground water down there is being threatened and potentially the river water is being threatened something needs to be done right now i believe that planners and say we have buried corroded pipes that are way beyond their design life this problem is not only for my yankee this problem is countrywide maybe worldwide. we were told crystal clear that there were no buried underground pipes that contain radioactivity how many other plants. to not have undergone you know
12:47 pm
there are none. i asked for an obscure report i got it and i read and i said oh my god there's buried in underground pipe you knew when you read that that there was underground piping yes you ben misstatements have been given yes that's right i was stonewall what has happened at her mind yankee is a breach of trust that cannot be tolerated in order to move forward on whether or not the plan will continue to operate questions need to be answered changes need to be made and the trust of vermonters must be restored we were now being lied to and lied to under oath on record and in vermont and in vermont and especially in the statehouse. your word is all you've got to live by we have a lot of to do and we have to rebuild public confidence and trust we're operating a nuclear power plant and people expect that you know it is an industrial facility
12:48 pm
you are going to have incidents that's just a fact of life. we drilled approximately 23 wells in this area so that we can triangulate and pinpoint the source of the leak by obviously the highest concentration of truly aged water in this particular well we just did not do a good job of presenting information complete and accurate information to the vermont public service board and that's unacceptable dandruff certainly on an unacceptable to the public and that shook public trust and confidence and we absolutely understand it and then have a tritium leak to groundwater. adds to a lack of confidence we've said numerous times we apologize for that were embarrassed about that. that shouldn't have happened.
12:50 pm
0000 martyrs we're used to all the different seasons you put out some extra clothes it's winter obviously that raise certain challenges but it's not a problem that happen to be january so that's when the walking. i walking because it feels like a powerful way to stand up mass said that it's time to shut the plant down. we're really excited to be here we're looking forward to meeting with our legislators in a little while and i really appreciate the opportunity to have democracy ally in action are walking through the state. i am speaking on behalf of walkers who today completed a 126 mile 11. a walk. and now i'd like to present you with a petition to the members of the ramada legislature please retire vermont yankee on
12:51 pm
schedule no later than march of 2012 and a copy to you thank you peter. thank you to the marchers thanks to all of you in this room for coming to the people's house the greatest democracy in america and letting us hear your voices on this important issue i have concluded that it is in the best interest of the moderates not to renew the license up for my yankee and that's how i will vote. there was an intense level of organizing and behalf of the citizen activists. we held public forums. your senators match and our key to that
12:52 pm
we made phone calls would you be able to call them and talk to them about this we wrote norma some of the letters to the editor and we gauged people from all across the state and all across the political spectrum to call for our legislature to vote no on continued operation of vermont yankee beyond march of 2012. when. spasmed i just want to wrap up the debate. is in vermont's best interests
12:53 pm
to operate vermont yankee beyond its scheduled closing date of 2012. if you don't think that leaking tritium and cobalt into the ground water and the connecticut river and the environment of the state of vermont that every single for mano cherishes and holds dear that i don't know what else you can have as an indicator that reliability is a problem with a nuclear power has a place in a future of energy in america. we can debate that to a cows come home what we should not be debating is whether we can extend the life of our e.g. nuclear power plants beyond their design life this is crazy stuff and i felt very strongly that it was the wrong thing to do for a math clicked us secretary please call the roll to stunt under the stars he had us and the star will see us under fire. from the lifeboats no.
12:54 pm
there is a series of us here both the ears for the nice 26. was the senate voted $26.00 to $4.00 in favor of closing vermont yankee it's really a testament to all of the work that citizens did over the course of several years over the course of decades our voice as the people as as as the people of vermont is what matters. well you know we were just. pointed out but not surprised again with the incidents that were happening at the plant it was understandable.
12:55 pm
the nuclear powers a hell of a way to boil water. really happens inside a nuclear reactor is of uranium out pops and in the process it gives off an enormous amount of heat does it boil water make some steam and turn a turbine in a generator and electricity comes out but what's left behind after you've you have use that electricity by these pieces and these pieces stay radioactive for a quarter of a 1000000 years. that is toxic poisonous to humans for
12:56 pm
250000 years i keep saying that number 250000 years it's ridiculous it's mind boggling i'd be the 1st to acknowledge that is the achilles heel of the nuclear industry nuclear waste. there is no answer to this they keep telling us oh no technology will take care technology technology is not taking care of it and if you cannot take care of the waste and you cannot manage the ways then the only responsible thing is to stop producing the ways. and then you bring it here. where registering young voters to the dimensions like
12:57 pm
a no smaller scale so instead of having a huge nuclear power plant now these 3 really trying to get young people excited about clean energy and power in different places so to be much more local. there is surplus campaign is a student blared arena's nation based out of middlebury college we got together right after the senate voted to close relying because we're wondering what's coming next what are we going to replace for a minute q where. do you feel the best way to achieve our goal is to elect a governor who has a really strong plan. as

1:00 pm
our viewers from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . 6 people are injured including a police officer in a stabbing in glasgow with the suspect shot dead by police. a group of academics and doctors criticized the u.k. government plans for a large scale coronavirus antibody testing claiming they provide false hope. u.k. government warns of a top down as thousands flock to social distancing on england's beatrice. and that is the u.k. he says it's not done some businesses are getting ready to reopen but others and left in limbo we talk to owners forced to keep their doors shut.
1:01 pm
this is r.t. u.k. 6 people have been stabbed during a serious incident in glasgow city center including a police officer the suspected attacker was shot dead by police in the past hour scotland's 1st minister nicola sturgeon paid tribute to the police response and said they told her it wasn't terror related the police through the professionalism and handling of this contained the situation relatively quickly and you know even as may be of the other details that we know you knew where to go when the police were able to see that they had contained the situation and there was no or in going straight to the public and i think that's the 1st thing to see by we of reassurance secondly we don't know all of the details we don't know what has given rise to this incident but the police has just have just in the last couple minutes concerned that the assessment note is that this is nor what
1:02 pm
a terrorist related incident and i hope that will give some reassurance to people not just in glasgow but across scotland r.t. acacia to ebbers daschle takes us through what unfolded in glasgow. major incident has been declared in glasgow and is now being treated as a serious incident and the area really is now essentially in lockdown it several people have been injured we understand 6 people are being treated in hospital in addition then the police do confirm that one of their offices have been quite badly injured and is being treated in hospital we understand he is in a stable condition but in a critical condition as well we've also heard from the chair scottish police federation he's spoken out about one of his offices on the front line and what they're having to go through. the streets that we are human we are beginning our own city center with miles. it is even again i think this is just another example of you have to go into these so you know we're not rich we are. going to deal with
1:03 pm
these things and. it's going to go. well boris johnson has also released a statement on line on his twitter account saying he is deeply saddened by the incident in glasgow and thanks the emergency services who are responding but as we know there is a huge police presence at the scene through various photographs we can see that more than a dozen police vehicles are in attendance also a huge response from the ambulance services as well but we understand that please moved in very quickly to the scene and sealed off the west george street paramedics also in their house about suits were seen treating people on the pavement and eye witnesses said that they saw people being taken by stretches from the park and her talent part many people were attacked in the lobby of the hotel area suffering various stab wounds and we understand people in the hotel at the beginning of the incident were told to stay within their rooms but since then have been ushered in
1:04 pm
evacuated out of the hotel but we spoke to an eyewitness who told us that the police responded very quickly to the incident but. really cool students who. hop into me out a hole or decide and heading towards the street what incident took place so when they're not a go back i don't look so much to go back i'm going to start to touch as and so many betty quite clear i realize it wasn't just a police incident because it was more the more peace that i have in the resemblance he said i even then some of the police officers of the town and up will keep almost in through and police uniform with guns and things that are so. realize you could see these people that were on the bottom is all confusion people being moved out of the area and the people us into the scene and mind in stabbing people and other people will say there was a bank robber who was really unclear what was happening across but in many ways he came in and we seen people being
1:05 pm
a quick could have been taken away and now was hitler going to c.d.'s i just have there that if he put in a past that we'd be dead in the 10th bucket might my office know him up just him but he insists i just want to be for that is to to buzz in is this this cause of things i don't buy to tell you in is just oh say twitter believe the hotel was but we didn't know before there's a bank close to the widows who came to meet since that we thought maybe that was i to get on. now we understand that the park in hotel is not right now being used as a hotel in its normal operation in capabilities but right now it's being used as a temporary accommodation during the coronavirus lockdown we don't know any reason or motive behind this attack whether or not something triggered it or sparked it or whether it was just a random sporadic attack police won't of course come out to say anything until they have confirmation of what exactly has happened but the scottish police federation representing of course run for office has confirmed the area is in lockdown and has
1:06 pm
issued a list of streets to avoid as you can see on your screen we've also heard from nicholas sturgeon the scottish 1st minister she's tweeted out urging people to avoid the area she's thanks the emergency services for their bravery and also says her thoughts are with all of those who have been injured but also she's emphasized that the public should not share any on confirmed information or any disinflation that may hinder the understanding of exactly what's behind this very serious incident the home secretary then preety patel has also used the medium of twitter to say she believes it's deeply alarming the reports coming from glasgow and her thoughts as well are with americans the services as they continue to respond to this incident again similar sentiments coming from the lay believe this star may he too has tweeted out about this extremely concerning incident and again says his thoughts are with all those involved what we do know is that the incident is
1:07 pm
contained at this stage and there is no further threat to the public that is the statement from the scottish police but of course the police do remain in their huge numbers at the scene as do the ambulance services because now a huge investigation and operation is underway to get to exactly what has happened this afternoon but the key messages today are that there is no further danger or threat to the public but the public needs to avoid the scene. glasgow based lawyer told me that the whole city would be affected by what had happened people were starting to hope that there was some return to normality life was coming back it's it's you know a stone's throw away from the shopping district to glasgow families are starting to come out again people walking 'd the city center which when you look like a ghost town for so long and then say here this news this afternoon. you know thoughts and prayers with the families of those loved ones who were murdered today
1:08 pm
but also with the police officer who's in critical condition along with 5 other people who received treatment ospital this time looking at the park and hotel we're getting reports that the hotel was used to house asylum seekers during the cave in 1000 crisis. yes that's correct there's been a great deal of criticism in recent weeks about the forcible removal and housing goal of asylum seekers and their families in hotels like the park and others. as your reporter said. we don't we don't know what the details are there's no room for speculation or i was simply says that the police do not appear to be looking for any other individuals with regards to this incident the place is in lockdown. and the city is secure you know caught up in the barcelona terror attack when you know that the impact is very similar and of course there is no suggestion all that this is a terrorist attack i think from the way the police reacted and subsequent statements made by the police there are was to be say at this point there is obscene no room
1:09 pm
for speculation but yes after the barcelona tike. it runs through the whole city and for the community it feels as though everybody has been involved and in this horrific incident they feel the pain and glasgow is a community you know we do all come to stay together in times of trouble a former police officer dr david low told me the focus would now turn to the bow to the attorney. so what is going to be crucial now for the investigation is to ascertain what the motive is as your reporter is right they say there could be a number of causes you know that the that could have been a grievance amongst the residents there that's triggered it when you know that there's so 'd many possible potential motives and that's going to be crucial now for the police to try and ascertain why did it have been instances in recent weeks as we've seen in the last week stabbings in reading for instance the train that you know that started off as a major incident and then became a terrorist incident and of course with that when there was
1:10 pm
a suspect in custody of course by changing it to a terrorist incident as section $41.00 the terrorism act it's a it's a different schedule that governs their detention so that's one advantage of going to a terrorist incident that we saw with reading but hey you know that's that's wait and see what happens but you know that it shows you again how a knife or a sharpie plated instrument can be so lethal you know them and we with one we can't take these crimes lightly what's the best advice for the public in a situation well it's a sad situation is that we're you know things are returning back to normal certain aspects it's a lockdown of the you know coming to an end. it's just a don't be frightened of it it's just let's be a little bit more vigilant which would improve the pandemic if you're not happy with anything reported to the security the premises you're out reported to the police and let them deal with it and to be dealt with sensitively it's just that
1:11 pm
1:12 pm
1:13 pm
depths. aura maybe in the shallowness. thank you. welcome back the a-k. government has won the public it could be forced to close beaches after thousands flocked to the coast that's as critics warn that unclear rules on the easing of the coronavirus lockdown has left britons confused about what's going on traffic jams overcrowded and antisocial behavior we're seen as beach goers travel for hours to reach the dorset coast and the south of england form of christ church and pool council declared a major incident and said services were completely overstretched it prompted the chief medical officer to plea for people to respect social distancing or risk undoing previous efforts while the health secretary want action could be taken if infections rose as a result of respect rules you ought to respect the fact that social distancing is
1:14 pm
still important and we do have we do have those hours and if we see a spike in the number of cases then we will take action where the chief executive of u.k. hospitality nichols told me that reopening the sector well actually help control the kind of scenes we saw on england's beaches what we do know is that if we open our hospitality sector if we open our hotels or holiday card self-catering accommodation we can help manage social distancing in those public places clearly at the moment crowds are keen to get out and sound and without all the facilities and support packages that has bits ality can provide they are left with nowhere to go so i think reopening was the tallahassee will help to manage that move towards and to leisure outdoor activities in a safer more sustainable way and also we can make sure that we're providing the hygiene the sanitation the cleaning facilities for all of those people to enjoy and
1:15 pm
keep them safe while they're out enjoying the good weather all of us though if there's a big influx of tourism to a very small area that could be local outbreaks for the. well we have to make sure that we are doing everything we possibly can to keep our guests and our local community say and clearly. to residents to tell it to businesses they are right at the heart of that community so they don't want to do anything which would make their communities unsafe they would be putting in place world beating protocols for cleaning hygiene sanitation to make sure that the risk of infection is controlled and minimized if not eliminated and we will be working hard to keep our teams safe and our customers say while they are staying with us it's in all of our interests to make sure we do everything we can to have socially responsible holidays socially responsible hospitality and to encourage on ket guests and customers when they come down to the southwest or to the lake district to be responsible to take care of their own hygiene and sanitation and to protect our economy well how much change oh
1:16 pm
will reduction in social distancing in england make the situation point. well it's a big step forward for a lot of our clubs bars and restaurants they will be operate able to operate at 70 percent of capacity they have 70 percent of the normal revenues which means that they can get towards breakeven point if they'd stuck it to me to social distancing then that would have meant that they would have been operating at significant cost many of them wouldn't have been able to reopen and so it is the difference between saving a 1000000 jobs and having a 1000000 people coming back to work from the 4th of july in those 2 with the merriest what can the sectors survive on one metre distancing gamin it's easier but it's by no means back to normal is that it isn't the sector will just be a breakeven this is a sector this been hard hit by covidien revenues started to decline from january this year we are 1st into the disease in the crisis we are going to be asked and we're going to need additional government help and support until we get through to the next april which is the stones about to resume in the holiday season next year
1:17 pm
and so we're looking to the government to prioritize investment interest services and to stimulate demand through a back. a group of academics as doctors have criticised the u.k. government plans for a large scale antibody testing claiming they are based on untrustworthy data but as johnson praised the testing as a potential game changer back in may antibodies are left when patients recover from the virus but researches say there's no guarantee they provide immunity or stop people infecting others well earlier i was joined by one of the researchers professor of biostatistics and w.h.o. adviser john deeks he told me the antibodies simply aren't a good measure of immunity this 2 issues really what one is that we seem to be running a bit fast with thinking how well they work and so the piece of work that we've been completing with teams from across europe and canada has been looking at every single study we can find evaluating these tests and i'm to actually understand how
1:18 pm
much we know about how well they work the 2nd issue is we have to know where they should be used and what it means when you actually have an antibody test and either get a positive or negative response in terms of how they should change our lives do they change the metol and from what we're saying that question isn't really very clearly arts that because we at the moment we do not know whether these tests actually tell you whether you've got long term immunity and also it's as you say it's a new disease as well isn't it so cantu bodies provide immunity in some cases. well this is something we're going to take a little bit of a while to work out because it's something we have to follow people over time to discover whether having antibodies leads you to be protected so for some diseases we see that it does for other diseases the antibodies will disappear quite quickly so what we were doing was looking at all of the studies so far up to the end of april we found $54.00 studies of these tests and none of them told us how long the antibodies last beyond 5 weeks that they too isn't there we're continuing to look
1:19 pm
at the research studies and next month we'll publish a lot more dates and hopefully we'll get some information but at the moment we have very limited knowledge so we're fact if we will be guessing and hoping rather than actually basing decisions on evidence if we think this is telling us about long term immunity so in the absence of anything else they can antibody test help. well they help people do public health questions so antibody tests tell you whether you've had disease and so finding out in a setting such as in a hospital or in a care home who has had disease which members of staff in a hospital got infected will help people work out whether or not they're protecting their staff properly so in terms of thinking about how we should manage health care resources in those settings are high risk settings they can be very useful and they're also being used to work out how many people have had codes it so we have ciro prevalence surveys going on to actually count how many people have had it but
1:20 pm
there is we have a question there to say well if we don't know whether or not these tests work after 5 weeks how are those studies actually working so their public health levels but for individual person i know and lots of people were very interested to know whether an illness they hadn't stayed at home was coded or was not coded but it's not really going to make them be able to decide to live their life in a different way it doesn't mean that you've got protection from getting it again or infecting other people if you get it again so we just have to wait at the moment to find out what antibodies these are these antibody response is actually mean and also are antigen tests more useful for those who have the virus rather than those who hadn't. so antigen test these are the tests like swab test which detects the virus directly you can only get those working in the 1st few days of the infection because they're actually trying to tell you whether or not the virus is in your body and so there they are the diagnostic test which we really need to have
1:21 pm
accessible in the u.k. and very easy access and very quick to be able to identify the people who have the disease who are infectious and who need to isolate so that they're a very different type of chest and they're very more useful for making quick decisions as to to isolating people and treating people for this disease. now violent clashes erupted overnight in the west london district of notting hill after police were called to break up an illegal music event police were reportedly pelted with a number of objects before they were able to shut down the party in the early hours of friday morning this comes the night after $22.00 officers injured in south london are also trying to disperse a similar event the commissioner of the metropolitan police presser today claims around 140 officers have been injured over the last few weeks this includes those who were working at the recent black lives matter protest in the wake of the george 4 week killing she thinks such behavior towards the police is unacceptable.

these events are unlawful they shouldn't be happening and we have a duty to go and close them down and to disperse them the local communities hate them. incredibly anti-social behavior very noisy during a pandemic sometimes violence and for our officers who are simply doing their duty to be attacked in that manner is utterly unacceptable and we have seen large numbers of people calm please leave flouting the health regulations seeming not to care at all about their own or their family's health wanting to have large parties . it's hot some people have drunk far too much some people are just angry and aggressive and some people are plain violent we will be prepared this we can't and we have offices all over london working hard again to try to keep the peace and to

protect our public from violence and disorder. we want as the u.k. eases its coronavirus lock down some businesses are getting ready to reopen but others are being left in limbo and as r.t.u. case isa rather reports the reason appears to be far from clear. imposing the current virus lock down was simple and easy to understand for the public the business is essential work only only shop for food and medicine when it comes to the reopening it's much more complex some businesses can't open and some cards and in many cases there's no obvious reason why i'm acutely conscious that people will ask legitimate questions about why certain activities are allowed and others are not and i must ask the house to understand that the virus has no interest in these debates it's only interest it's only

a ambition is to exploit any opportunities to recapture. ground that we might carelessly vacate there are some contradictions pubs restaurants cinemas and bingo halls are all set to open but into gyms pools and spas of the more spacious well ventilated and with strict cleaning regimes already in place can't and if it's about safety the business owners say that making those necessary changes to observe the one metre plus advice now in place in england won't be too difficult at all they're not always packed so you often find space and people in the gym at the same time to also take a lot of time and effort into cleaning and you know there's a lot of emphasis on wiping things down after use and sanitation and so on so. it's difficult to really say i mean they probably could have made provisions considering that people will be packed in pubs probably making body contact knowing the gyms.

that i'm aware of the number of people they employ. based compared to a bar or restaurant etc you know the gyms do employ less people so i would say that that probably has more pull in getting people back into work and and and you know even revenue and kind of the the revenue that these kind of establishments generate will be be higher than most gyms comparative gym so they're even anomalies in social distancing has fallen for instance can open with the right kids one of the beauty parlors in the tourists remain shop for businesses such as night clubs what's needed is confirmation that at some point they will be able to open and more financial support from the government neither of which appear to be forthcoming seriously because recent 'd. give us some talk it dates or understanding on how long this is going to stop financially work starts and start to let them understand when and how they're going to bring so lots of this is about so many people at the

moment really on the brink and we've got to start taking a human elements of people's lives you know we're playing with and we need to get to a point where we resolve it and i know they're saying they can't save everybody but the fact of the matter is we need to try and move forward and gets open and people can generate that revenue start coming back the government says it's conducting sector by sector reviews to help those who can't open to do so i don't need to date but with warning the 2nd wave of the virus and the possibility of lockdowns to come business is unable to make any money during the current easing of restrictions fear that means they may never open the doors again. r.t. london. and that's all from aussie u.k. apps the top of the hour aussie america will take over so for all the same in westminster combined don't forget to keep social distancing.

the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis that's going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. i. think that hollywood is a free plates only what is strictly defined by only one side of the business and the other side is ideology. how would i define hollywood is a call to dream manufacture which i think strew but i think equally it's a problem in the fact. this is food bust the one big.
