a bright idea that could help prevent a 2nd wave of infections and on your smartphone that uses bluetooth signals to keep track of the devices and therefore the people that you come into contact with and when it was more a few weeks ago the french digital minister said it could also 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 another tracing up one for catalonia. ok after a fold start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with small loans that's
4:03 pm
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 2 no no no no no no we do the thing. yes somebody who is actually down loaded it but then she said this is it it is 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. measures like a mosque but so i have
4:04 pm
a problem with giving my personal data if 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 if you actually. didn't take the time to download it oh did you leave in a safeway for example i take it 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 and the truth 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 that right to the right to privacy while hundreds of academics voiced fears that they take out those could be repurposed for us surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to worry
4:05 pm
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 share it's a bit of a food live where yes i think that 14 is not many if 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. and this is true the numbers of infections

habit being steadily declining in france centric oh says he 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 euros a month for an that we are using jollity will ski r.t. . meanwhile the us has seen a record daily increase in cope with 1000 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those figures revealed by johns hopkins university the previous high came in april with more than 36000 cases america still holds the sod record of the most total global infections with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases. just for several states including texas and florida to suspend plans to reopen but despite that president trump says his country is coping well with the pandemic we have the greatest testing program in the world we've
4:07 pm
developed it over. and we're up to almost 30000000 terrorists that means we can have more cases if we do want to test or if we didn't just we wouldn't have cases but we have cases because we test deaths are. we have one of the lowest mortality rates we've done an incredible historic. well 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 that's still the 9th highest death rate in the world meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable is being put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country and on the way the crisis has been handled in the u.s. as it seems done to blow to the country's reputation particularly in europe why do i say that will a new survey 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 it
4:08 pm
out and ask europeans 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 i prefer to be french sorry 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 but at the same time i can't really judge them like it's not you can see french people partying in doing their music festival and stuff so it's we're not better actually we cannot really compare. the new era everybody mostly reacted in the common way and only germany maybe suffered through a let's let's comparing casual just in france italy england with america i think that they have lower mortality rate per 1000000 than we have so it's difficult to say. because in the united states they have managed coverage
4:09 pm
19 poorly in fact it is enough to count the deaths i believe that we have controlled and manage the epidemic better. eat up this is a poor me the pandemic in america has not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build a separation war with mexico i suppose he will also capable of fighting this virus he could have done new but instead underestimated the situation when you want to argue that operates and i believe that we can all judge the work done in the usa this is a large country that has a different door from ours has different economic resources and a different population we too have made our mistakes. speaking of europeans perception of american german chancellor angela merkel has called for a more independent and self-sufficient to europe in defense matters and question washington's role in today's world. we grew up in the certain knowledge that the
4:10 pm
united states wanted to be a world power should the us no wish to withdraw from that war for its own free will we would have to reflect on that very deeply michael statement comes in the wake of donald trump's decision to drastically scale down the number of u.s. troops in germany the us president accused berlin of failing to pay up and ordered to relocate some military personnel to poland of this. so germany's 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 india delinquent that doesn't make serbs so i said we're going to bring down the soldier character $25000.00 soldiers and there's another bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the north stream to you pipeline project which is completed would pump new levels of rushing gas through the baltic sea to germany bypassing transit countries on thursday a group of u.s. senators introduced legislation for senate review for tougher sanctions against
4:11 pm
those involved in the project they claim it poses a threat to u.s. interests and to european security now reports suggest germany is preparing to strike back should any such sanctions take effect we should have a solution germany's the left party told us berlin will not bow to us pressure this start. yes certainly many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let us stop loss for you because it is essential to german economic interests and so this act that which is nearly finished by the way will not be stopped i agree with angela merkel that america is the cry and it is questionable how long it can really remade a world power in the way that it has been a global had to want it appears power for the last well half a century and isn't it development that could be positive for the world if germany
4:12 pm
were to take its opportunity and poland use it euro t. boundaries and europe and build on cooperation cooperation for example with russia that can have real lasting security consequences for the continent we have to look and other their actions because the united states has shown itself to be a force for destruction and if europe does not want to be in the way of this destruction and if it wants to build up the continent again after this terrible face the economic consequences of it call it 90. then we have to find different ways. the wealth of facebook founder mark zuckerberg has formed by $7000000000.00 as its share price tumbles to lucrative empathizes boycotted the network claiming it isn't doing enough to filter out hate speech that will trump has much to do with the fury but a new undercover prod report by project veritas suggests that the social media
4:13 pm
giants been censoring supporters of the president of a some time i flew in to get reports 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 u.s. every day we see ads from companies place to jason's to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns you add buying dollars being used by the platform to increase its dominance in the industry at the expense of vulnerable and marginalized communities who are often targets of hate groups on facebook that started out small but as the days go by bigger and more powerful companies like ne viber are dropping their ads and things really got kicked 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 site
4:14 pm
could protect and support black users could they call out holocaust denial as hate could they help get 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 hate 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 incident secretary said that the company would be rich. viewing 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
4:15 pm
the company i worked as a subcontractor for facebook i was seeing them interfering on a global level in elections and then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really came to take the word from. the left side yes good to not come out something really special is 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 100 percent believe to fight line in 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 30 the choices that twitter makes one it uses to suppress that blacklists shadow and are editorial decisions pure and simple their
4:16 pm
editorial decisions in those moments twitter seasons to be a neutral public platform and they become an editor 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 to platforms that call themselves on bias that remains to be seen but in light of all this something tells me that dr burke is ruing the day he ever even enter the. i thought of regulating content on inside all my name of fighting russian metal 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 have gotten more and more nuanced and guess what that's not going away the users just might.
4:17 pm
extinction rebellion activists back this time promoting shoplifting to fund public t.v. the u.k. details after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one foundation let it be an arms race is often skeery dramatic development the only really i'm going to lose is i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person or those. who
4:18 pm
4:19 pm
a while since climate change activists extinction or rebellion have been well 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 were shoplifting in a food shop although they targeted a major corporate chain rather than a smaller private business running out of the supermarket they then proceeded to give all of their bounty away in a protest against poverty they also slap stickers around the shops which were 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 on their banners i'm not stealing food. we're changing the rules because. this is not against sainsbury's but the profiteering of a basic human need the stunt also proclaimed the appearance of
4:20 pm
a new political party called u.k. beyond politics and it's aiming big 1st talk it next is marriage actions in london and they promise it's just the start we're seeing. 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 of a party and has always prided itself on being a direct action through print 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 and they fear of violating their human rights to protest so what are the people on the streets of london make of this rebellion moving up in the world into a different category. bono if you're stealing from
4:21 pm
a shop and give it out is the very robin hood esque but i don't think that's how they should be protesting it's all by stealing doesn't set a good example of how the both of them really. been a lot of good get to keep it away but at the same time. you don't really need to pay. for. all that we turn to good what they've done. but at the end of day no not they didn't pay for it and i think the concept is a good idea i'm all for taxing the rich and 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 back to my. ex are clearly have some big plans but they might have a way to go from sitting on the street to sitting in parliament shouted especially artsy. crowds gathered in the u.s. capitol to again demand the removal of a memorial to abraham lincoln which shows
4:22 pm
a black america kneeling at lincoln's feet surrounded the area which already has a protective barrier around it older black americans reportedly argued to keep the statue in place because it marks an important chapter in history lincoln change the status of millions of slaves to free demonstrators also chase a trump supporter from the same protestors later march to the black lives matter signs chanting no justice no peace. you are the latest poll shows almost half of americans see the black lives matter movement as very favorable while almost the same number have the same view of the police which has become a target for the movement after george floyd's death in police custody in minneapolis the polls which were 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 or this comes as the leader of the greater new york black lives matter movement warns the system will be burned down if their demands are not met the u.s.
4:23 pm
president called that statement treason sedition insurrection whoever hawken use and who made the statement condemned by trump told this from should be worrying about solving the problem instead. what are we saying in this in our education to give black people who better opportunities toward the future what are we saying defund of police a lot of people don't understand what the funding to police is good the money back into community organizations to take the rim of the the situations that cause a need for the police people commit crimes out o. poverty mental health issues and desperation let's attack poverty 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
4:24 pm
created an organization called black opportunities that addresses the solutions instead of donald trump putting a target on the backs of black clouds matter he should've went to 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 the source of the problem and as the leader of this country he should be seeking to bring resolution to a problem that his plane this country for centuries we have such a wealth of knowledge and instead of looking it out knowledge they want to look at us and and probe likeness in our revolutionary stances in dismiss everything that we're saying and it's counterproductive to the country why not listen to the people who are fighting the hardest right. well than a 1000 politicians in europe have signed a letter that asks israel to drop its an accession peace plan the pre-buy the us
4:25 pm
while president tom believes they will benefit everybody involved the thing is that it could actually end hopes for peace in the middle east this move will be fatal to the prospects of israeli palestinian peace and will challenge the most basic norms guiding international relations including the un chancer acquisition of territory by force has no place in 2020 and must have commensurate consequences. i don't call on the israeli government. it's an extension. of my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks for palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel has taken a giant step toward peace it's a great plan proves wrong it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've
4:26 pm
already gone through is wrong i'm not surprised the so-called peace plan would keep jerusalem as israel's undivided capital leaving palestine with a capital on the outskirts of the city elliston would also be demilitarized to remove any potential threat to israel the west bank and gaza would remain part of palestine and be connected by roads and tunnels president trump opted for $50000000000.00 of investment to the palestinian authorities although that would come in exchange for israel gaining control of security most resources and the diplomatic and security arrangements of palestine palestinian authorities rejected all notions of the plan from the moment it was presented and they haven't changed their position in the least testing that is all of the international community thinking it's cool on your land but i will put it all all in that will lead to international will to advance regional peace and security and to preserve the rule based molecular goal. we must. wrong. that's not
4:27 pm
a view shared by the u.s. and israel to peace to prosperity is how washington calls the plan and claims it will end hostility by promoting security donald trump says is a great opportunity there's no palestinians will have to leave their homes the israeli pm benjamin netanyahu is set a date of july 1st for his cabinet to start discussing moving forward with plans he spoke with some of the european lawmakers he signed the joint letter on the issue. 1st of all it is illegal under international law because these are a listing in territories there are plenty of united nations resolutions calling for israel not to build or to encroach on. land israel has miley quite a number of even laws over the years and it has done so in a few knitting i hope international community which is very weak on this conflict
4:28 pm
for years this time will take on sions of the danger behind this and action i hope with all my heart that we can prevent this dangerous move that israel government is doing now this is time now that we can he lead to international rules and norms sadly there's only one country that can persuade israel not to build on this land so united states of america and donald trump as you know all really disregards united nations and international law by saying yes to anything israel wanted to do. i think is marginal nice him self and this conflict and this is about credibility and i think with trungpa new session united states and it's lost
4:29 pm
a lot of credibility to to bring. in this conflict really we need to look at europe and i'm hoping that european governments will rise to the occasion and tell israel that they should not do this and if they do or don't they should be a sanctions in. implied on them if this an exception is coming for real we will need real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of. lector yes because it's crossed party because it's crossed you know sort of you know you crossed europe and it has leading figures who have supported israel and palestine over decades i think. the international community specially europe needs to say enough is enough we have the power to refix the balance and citrus rael we are partners we are friends but we also friends of the palestinian people and we want peace in this
4:30 pm
region so think about what you're doing. and work for peace instead of destroying the 2 state solution if an action is this country. in which you get few days or few weeks this will be huge a major turn over in this conflict and i don't know what can but just don't know can bring i see nothing but. the danger ok thanks so much for staying without saying don't forget you can check up on to more stories on our social media sites and of course our website all to. me so throughout the course of. the good can each other than the human body. but on the but i'm going to do the book on the song that this isn't just.
