and his much anticipated tracing out. just. sent 3 weeks that us half a 1000000 people delete it from their phones we searched the streets of paris to find somebody using it. no no no no no no we don't think. america's reputation in europe still to big blow by its handling of the coronavirus a new poll suggests to us it's an all time high of covert cases that 40000 added on . to more companies join a boycott of facebook for its failure to remove hate speech reluctance to take down some of this more controversial posts but

a new undercover reporter says the social media giant a sense of the president's supporters for some time. good evening and welcome this is r.t. international. the current virus tracing that was rolled out in france has alerted just 14 users about the potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks this despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day. takes a closer look. stop code it. was a priest to be a bright idea that could help prevent a 2nd wave off in sections and on your smartphone that uses bluetooth signals to keep track of the devices and therefore the people that you come into contact with

when it was a few weeks ago the french digital minister said it could offer to a flying start as of this morning 600000 people managed to download the app so it's a very very good start. well after a few hiccups perhaps including a delayed release that so many people in france accidentally downloading tracing up one for catalonia. ok after cold start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think but given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with smart phones that's barely a day in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die lou does it but almost immediately 460000 men decided that it wasn't a great idea and deleted it so we've got much on to the streets of paris to find

out who took the plot. number due to no no no no no no we do the thing. yes somebody who is actually down loaded it but then she said this as if yes i don't looted it but i didn't really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so wrong i was there is a true resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the more world has ever apparently see. i take precautionary. ashes like a mosque but so i have a problem with giving my personal data for this application is for that reason i didn't download it mish fosco need to have it for the younger generation i wasn't interested in like younger people who move around a lot for their work usually. didn't take the time to download it oh did you leave

in a safeway for example i do you could bike and stop taking the metro a see my friends but i don't need a lot of people i don't have the need to download it because it's centralized i plainly in. truth really quite wary of what would be done with may they. know and i'm not fond of the principle behind the that issue of the personal data really had the french in much more civil rights activists were concerned about the right to the right to privacy while hundreds of academics voiced fears that they take out those could be we purpose for us surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to worry about off there or was it since emerged that only iran $68.00 people informed the platform that they had been infected with covert and only 14 uses were alerted that they were at risk that's not going down well with those we spoke with we serve it's

a bit of a food live where you yes i think that 14 is not many it was only 14 people who are informed. by shows it's not as successful as hosts by the authorities i think that people were a bit wary about this exchange on the mobo would you continue to pay for something you don't use no i don't think so paying for something which is not used one should ask question. clearly delete is the other thing that nobody was thinking the up would work anyway front says digital minister has been trying to save face saying the numbers reflect a decrease in the virus's prevalence. this is true the numbers of infections have been steadily declining in france said 30 says the law will be useful if there's a new spike in cases until then the french state looks set to pick up a bill of up to $120000.00 jurors

a month for an. hour using. r.t. . in the mean time the united states has seen a record daily increase in covert 1000 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those figures were repealed by johns hopkins university the previous high came in april with more than $36000.00 cases america still holds the record of the most total global infections with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases this load of searches for several states including texas and florida to suspend their plans to reopen but despite that president trump says that his country is coping well with the pandemic. we have the greatest testing program in the world we've developed it over a period of time and we're up to almost $30000000.00 tests that means we can have more cases if we do want to test or if we didn't test we wouldn't have cases but we have cases because we test deaths are down we have one of the lowest mortality

rates we've done an incredible historic. you know incredible story job as he says the u.s. has a lower mortality rate than the likes of say the u.k. spain ecuador with around $38.00 deaths for every 100000 people but it's still the 9th ice death rate globally meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable and has been put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country now the way the crisis has been handled in america has dealt a blow it seems to the country's reputation in europe and you survey in 9 countries that shows 59 percent believe america's image has suffered during the pandemic only 6 percent believe it has improved we thought we'd check the figures we have europeans themselves for their views. they don't have such an effective medical system as others do plus the social security system in america differs from ours for the moment europe does better but it isn't united. for now i prefer to be

friends. then american the good health system and health care system so it makes it better and makes us happy to be in france right now. at the same time i can't really judge them. you can see french people partying in doing. music festival and stuff so we are not better actually we cannot really compare. the new group everybody mostly reacted in the common way and with germany maybe suffer through this but comparing casual just in france italy with america i think that they have lower mortality rate per 1000000 than we have so it's difficult to say. in the united states they have managed coverage 19 poorly in fact it is enough to count the dead i believe that we have controlled and managed the epidemic better. in europe this is a for me the been damaged in america was not taken seriously

a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build a separation war with mexico i suppose he was also capable of fighting this virus he could have done more but instead underestimated the situation or you will live forever i believe that we can all judge the work done in the usa this is a large country that has a different law from ours has different economic resources and a different population we too have made our mistakes. the wealth of facebook founder mark zuckerberg has 4 by $7000000000.00 as its share price tumbles after lucrative advertisers boycotted the network claiming it isn't doing enough to filter hate speech donald trump has much to do with their fury but a new undercover report by project veritas suggests the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for some time jacqueline the explains. oh how the mighty have fallen ok maybe not fallen but facebook and other platforms that owns like instagram are getting hit where it hurts by an advertising boycott led by

civil rights groups in the us every day we see ads from companies placed adjacent to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns you add buying dollars being used by the kind from to increase its dominance in the industry at the expense of vulnerable and marginalized communities who were often targets of hate groups on facebook that started out small but as the days go by bigger and more powerful companies like ne and viber are dropping their ads and things really got picked up a notch when verizon joined the fray a company that reportedly spent almost $2000000.00 on advertising on the 2 platforms just last month now this is all a push in order to get the social media giant to increase moderation on its side could protect and support black uses could they called out holocaust denial as hate could they help gets out the vote but absolutely could but they're actively choosing not to do so let's send facebook a powerful message your profits will never be worth promoting hates bigotry racism

anti-semitism and violence and a large number of facebook employees seem to agree with that just a couple weeks ago they conducted a virtual walkout after the us president wrote a post that was deemed by many to be inciting violence after the incidents occurred said that the company would be reviewing its policies but also cautioned against new forms of moderation in general i worry that this approach has a risk of leading us to editorialize on content we don't like even if it doesn't violate our policies so i think we need to proceed very carefully and yet that's just the problem the company seems to have a new undercover report has once again revealed an anti trump left leaning bias at the company i worked as a subcontractor for facebook i was seeing them interfering on a global level in a lecture. and then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really have to take the word from our side yes good for ourselves

really it's that maybe one of the select their long political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right right but facebook obviously had to give up one percent believed to sidelining conservative opinions and meddling and elections crazy right so if you come as no surprise that the right isn't happy with social media giants either twitter royally ticked off trump when they put a label on a couple of his posts warning that they could be potentially misleading he responded with executive order to $33.00 choices the twitter makes want to jews is to suppress that blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seasons to be a neutral public platform and they become and they're with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about other source and whether you're looking to google whether you're looking in facebook social media companies that

engage in censoring or any political content will not be able to keep their liability shield and now a number of users are calling it quits and link the platforms that call themselves on bias that remains to be seen but in light of all this something tells me that dr burke is ruining the day he ever even enter the thought of regulating content on a site all my name a fighting russian medal one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian information operations in 2016 we were slow to identifying the type of new information operations ever since then the debate over what's moderation and what censorship has gotten more and more nuanced and guess what that's not going away the users just might. relations between germany and the united states have soured after chancellor angela merkel called for a more independent and self-sufficient europe in defense and she questioned

washington's role in today's world. we grew up in the certain knowledge that the united states wanted to be a world power should the us know we should withdraw from that war for its own free will we would have to reflect on that very deeply. michael stamen comes in the wake of donald trump's decision to drastically scale down the number of u.s. troops in germany the u.s. president accused berlin a failing to pay up in order to relocate some military personnel to poland and bring others. so germany is delinquent they've been delinquent for years and they only nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so we're protecting germany and they're delinquent that doesn't make serbs so i said we're going to bring down the soldier character 25000 soldiers. and there's another bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the nord stream 2 pipeline project completed that would pump new levels of russian gas through the baltic sea to germany bypassing all transit countries on thursday a group of u.s.

senators introduced legislation to the senate review for tougher sanctions against those parties involved in the project claiming it poses a threat to u.s. interests and european security now reports suggest germany is prepared to strike back should any such sanctions be put into effect. this spring invasion of a sollie from germany's the left party very good evening. to start with what anglo-american had to say that statement questioning america's role in europe is it just more of the tough talk or could this actually lead to some some serious friction between the nations. well the serious friction is already there and as much as i enjoy hearing the news of art nearly 10000 american troops leaving germany finally finally. heartless government is not happy about this and it is a sign that relations between washington and berlin are strained as they have been

have now been in the last decades. it seems to me that this is kind of donald trump's modus operandi he doesn't like a situation so he threatens people usually to improve a deal this time he thinks germany should be paying more money so he makes orders to pull out the troops presumably and to supporting germany will then pay more money but do you think angela merkel's going to play his game or not but sadly she already has agreed to pay more money for defense spending which with the current situation the current economic situation germany millions of people are questioning how many can sustain their lives with the economic situation is certainly the wrong priority to make but it's i think the problem is also with the polish sides which is accepting those troops and this is

a sign that european unity exists and in speeches but not in practice because otherwise there will be a united front saying that those troops have to go home to the united states and not move from germany to poland you said that is going to be more money for the military in germany the question is who does it go to give it to nato does donald trump get it which is what he wants or to spend it internally on building up the german military. well that's a question and he meant she spending it on building up the german military it will just go to american military contractors will go to a catastrophic sergei should boy for example well that money just flowed out willy by military jets that are terrible terrible policy we should not be doing that anyways but i think that we have a real danger of falling into

a kind of to sit it is trapped here with america as the line in power and that point i agree with merkel that america is. and it is questionable how long it can really really made a world power in the way that it has been a global actually wanted to appear as powerful the last well half a century and it isn't it development that could be positive for the world but if germany were to take its opportunity and form and use it euro to boundaries and europe and build on cooperation cooperation for example with russia that can have real lasting security consequences for the continent but it can also be a dangerous situation. given that the nato allies seems pretty clear that america has no problem being very tough one might say very threatening upon nato allies another example comes with threaten sanctions over the north stream to project how

do you think that germany would respond to that if slapped with some kind of sanctions. well we'll have to depend on what kind of sanctions there certainly are many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let the u.s. stop not. because it is essential to german economic interests and so this that which is nearly finished by the way will not be stopped and i think that more cooperation within continental europe with eurasia is the right answer and it remains to be see whether the chancellor agrees with that assessment but a recent comments definitely point of the right direction many thanks to john my guests. from germany to the left party thanks for your time. take. things from rebellion activists are back this time they're promoting shoplifting in

a bid to fight poverty in the u.k. i'll explain after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person to spread. thinks. we fear to ask. you know what wall street's up to its usual bag of tricks now back in 2008 global

financial crisis and remember that maybe the big short and remember how it was obvious that everything was going to blow up and remember how the wall street people were conspiring and then it all blew up in a few people make billions and billions of dollars because they cooked the books grabbed all that cash and we said you know what this exact same thing is going to happen again in 10 or 12 years and guess what here we are 12 years later and the. environmental action group extinction rebellion staged a dramatic comeback this week coming down to say a number of new protests around the world which included a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u.k. . it's been a while since climate change activists extinction rebellion have been making any headlines but on thursday they were back in the news after

a seemingly provocative stunt that seems to be based on the old robin hood tale robbing from the rich to give to the poor in london 5 activists went shoplifting in a food shop although they targeted a major corporate chain rather than a small a private business running out of the supermarket they then proceed. to give all of their bounty away in a protest against poverty they also slap stickers around the shops which are proclaimed things like new lower price free because poverty sucks news the infamous marie antoinette slogan let them eat cake with the word cake crosstown their banners i'm not stealing food i'm a gift aiding it we're changing the rules because the rules. this is not against sainsbury's but the profiteering of a basic human need the stunt also proclaim the appearance of a new political party called u.k. beyond politics and is aiming big fs talk it next is marriage actions in london and

they promise it's just the start we're seeing complete incompetence of the governing class there have been $20000.00 to know. that the crowning glory is the inability of the political class to respond to the extinction of the human race this move into the world of democratic politics has surprised many people because extinction rebellion has always prided itself on being a direct action through pretty movement all about staging numerous acts of civil disobedience all across the world never the less they all quietly accused of vandalism and promoting a populist agenda and all the while police in the u.k. particularly have been quite cautious and worried about taking any action against them amid fear of violating their human rights to protest so what do the people in the streets of london make of this extraction rebellion moving up in the well into a different category like if you're stealing from a shop but given how it is you have very dropping food that's what i don't think that's how they should be processed it's not by stealing doesn't set

a good example i wouldn't talk to them. just to keep it away at the same time. you don't really need to pay. all the time to good but they've done. they didn't pay for it and i think the concept is a good idea i'm all for taxing the rich or more in order to redistribute that funds you know more efficiently and fairly but to display they're doing right by it isn't the right way to go about the my. eggs are clearly have some big plans but they might have a way to go from sitting on the streets to sitting in parliament saturday r.t. . crowds gathered in the u.s. capitol to again demand the removal of a memorial to abraham lincoln which was a black american kneeling at lincoln's feet purchased to surrounded the area which already has a protective barrier around it older black americans reportedly argued to keep the

statue place as it marks an important chapter in history and can change the status of millions of slaves to free demonstrators also chase the trump supporter from the scene of his later march through black lives matter signs chanting no justice no peace. while the latest poll shows almost half of americans see the black lives matter movement as very favorable or almost the same number have the same view of the police which have become a targets for the movement after george floyd's death in police custody in minneapolis the polls carried out in swing states ahead of november's presidential election show that most see mistreatment of black americans as a worse problem than rioting all of this comes as the leader of the greater new york black eyes massive movement the system will be burned down if their demands aren't met the u.s. president called that statement treason sedition insurrection or not hawk and you

some who made that statement condemned by trump told us that he should be worrying about solving the problem that. what are we saying in this in our education to give black people who better opportunities toward the future would we saying defund the police a lot of people don't understand what the funding to police is the money back into community organizations should take the rim of the the situations that cause a need for the police people commit crimes out of. poverty mental health issues and desperation let's attack by providing opportunity let's provide social services to tackle the mental health aspect a lot of people have a problem with black lives matter and they say well what are your solutions we created an organization called black opportunities that addresses the solutions

instead of donald trump putting a target on the backs of black clouds matter activists should go into black opportunities dot com and took a long list and legislative agenda instead of looking at the manifestation of the problem he should be looking to go source of the problem and as the leader of this country he should be seeking to bring resolution to a problem that his plea this country for centuries we have such wealth of knowledge instead of looking at our knowledge they want to look at us and our pro blackness and our revolutionary stances and dismiss everything that receding and it's counterproductive to the country why not listen to the people who are fighting them for artists right. ok up and you brought up to die thanks a thing without international days coming your way 30 minutes.
