america's reputation in europe is dealt a big blow by its handling of the coronavirus a new poll suggests that's as the u.s. hits an all time high of pieces with 40000 added on thursday alone. france is a much anticipated coded tracing app is used to send me just 14 alerts in 3 weeks that says half a 1000000 people deleted from their phones researching the streets of paris to find somebody who's using. it but it's no no. no no we took the 5th. new york's most influential black lives matter

activist warns of the system will be burned down if a movement demands are not met. instead of looking at our knowledge we want to look at us. great blackness in a revolutionary state in dismiss everything that we're. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our chief international thomas truly glad to have you with us. now the u.s. has seen a record daily increase in covert 1000 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those figures were revealed by johns hopkins university and the previous high was back in april with more than $36000.00 cases the u.s. still holds the record for the most to global infections with almost 2 and

a half 1000000 cases and this latest surge has forced several states including texas and florida to suspend plans to reopen despite that president trump claims 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 were 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. now as he says the u.s. has a considerably lower mortality rate than most affected european countries however that is still the 9th highest death rate globally meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable and is being attributed to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country you know the way the

crisis has been handled in the u.s. has dealt a big blow to the country's reputation in europe a new survey in 9 countries it shows 59 percent believe america's image has suffered during the pandemic while just 6 percent believe it has improved we asked the 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 the americans 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 and doing. music festival and stuff so yes we are not better actually we cannot really compare. the

new group 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 they have little mortality rate per 1000000 than we have so it's difficult to say. because i was in the united states to have managed coverage 9000 poorly and in fact it is enough to calm the tense i believe that we have controlled and managed the epidemic better. eat up this is a funny lupin demick an american who was not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to bill disappoint mexicans i suppose he wasn't so capable fighting this virus he could have done newman but instead underestimated the situation when you are separated so i believe that we can all judge the work done in the usa this is a large country that has a different door from us has different economic resources and a different population we too have made almost steaks meanwhile in france

a coronavirus tracing app has alerted just 14 users about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks that's despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day. and why. stop coded. it was a priest to be 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 a few weeks ago the french 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 so after a 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 small loans 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 2 no no no no no no we do this 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 precaution. measures like a mosque but so i have a problem with giving my personal data for this application it's for that reason i didn't download it mish fosco need to have for the younger generation i wasn't interested and 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 safe way for example i did bike and stop taking the metro assume i press but i don't need a lot of people i don't have the need to don't load it because it's centralized i plainly and truthfully i'm quite wary of what would be done we've made it so no and i'm not fond of the principle behind the that issue of

a 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 repurposed for the mass surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to worry about off the 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 france's 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 have been steadily declining in france centric 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 that we are using. r t. a leading up black lives a matter activist has warned that the us political system will be burned down and replaced if the movement's demands are ignored speaking to fox news hawk newsom did insist however that he doesn't condone violence or rioting we spoke to the rights

activist in the wake of the controversial interview and asked him about the changes he wants to see the authorities make. what we sing in this in our education to give black people who better opportunities toward the future when we sing the fun of police a lot of people don't understand what the funding to police is good the money back into community organizations city to remain 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 recent poll shows that almost half of americans of view the black lives matter movement as favorably while almost in the same number have

a positive view of the police which have become a target for the movement following george floyd's death in police custody in minneapolis now newsom's remarks did not go down well with donald trump who branded them treasonous and seditious the activist in turn says the administration has failed to help struggling communities. 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 laos 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 plea 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 missin out revolutionary stages in dismiss everything that we're saying and it's counterproductive to the country why not listen to the people who are fighting the artist's right over 1000 european politicians have signed a letter condemning israel's plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank the parliamentarians argue the u.s. backed initiative would seriously undermine the rules based global order and pose a threat to regional stability. 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 allocation of parts of the occupied

west bank that was proposed in the trumpet ministrations so-called peace plan which was released in january it in visitors all illegal jewish settlements being brought under israeli control effectively reducing palestine to a patchwork of unconnected territories in exchange for financial investment from the us now the initiative has been roundly rejected by the palestinians and much of the international community it has however emboldened prime minister benjamin netanyahu he aims to begin the emigration on the 1st of july we spoke with a number of the signatories to the letter. 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 the mainland israel

has miley quite a number of un laws over the years and it has done so within a few knitting i hope international community which is very weak on this country 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's doing now this is time now that we can he lead to international rules and norms sadly there is 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 is what 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 as lost a lot of credibility 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. should not do this and if they do or don't they should be a sanctions imply. implied on them if this an exception is coming for real. real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of. this lect areas because it's crossed party because it's crossed you know sort of you know the across 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 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 a few days or few weeks this will be a huge a major turn over in this conflict and i don't know what can what distro can bring but i see nothing but it's the denture. in spain a famous painting it has been made on recognizable after restoration worker decided to add a little bit of creativity and it isn't the 1st time a famous piece of art has received a bad make over. i

don't think these people should be referred to as restorers let's be honest they're buggers who botched things up they destroy things. germany's chancellor is warning that europe will need to reimagine its role in the world if the u.s. continues to pursue isolationist policies more on that after

a short break this is our international.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. period dramatic development only personally. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. i. come back to r t international now the wealth of facebook founder mark zuckerberg has fallen by $7000000000.00 as its share price tumbles after a lucrative advertisers boycott of the network claiming it is not doing enough to filter hate speech donald trump has a lot to do with their new fury but new undercover project by project veritas

suggests the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for quite some time now or his jaclyn vulgar 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 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 conflict 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 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 side could protect and support black uses could they call 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 incident succored 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 came to take the word from our side yes good cop ourselves realistic is that maybe one of the select growing political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right right but facebook obviously had to give a 100 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 one it uses to

suppress that blacklists 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 an editor with a viewpoint and i think we can say that 'd about other source and whether you're looking to google whether you look at 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 entertained the thought of regulating content on a site all my name a 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 has gotten more and more nuanced and

guess what that's not going away the users just might. germany's chancellor angela merkel has said that europe will need to become more self-reliant if the united states continues to pursue isolationist policies we grew up in the certain knowledge that the united states wanted to be a world power should the us no wish to withdrawal from that role for its own free will we would have to reflect on that very deeply while merkel's 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 and to bring others home so germany's delinquent they've been delinquent for years and they owe nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so we're protecting germany ended delinquent that doesn't make sense so i said we're going to bring down the soldier 225000 soldiers.

and there's another bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the nord stream 2 pipeline project if completed it will pump russian gas through the baltic sea to germany on thursday a group of u.s. senators introduced a legislation for senate review for tougher sanctions against those involved in the north stream project now reports suggest that germany is preparing to strike back b. john thomas ollie from germany's the left party told us berlin will not bow down to u.s. pressure. yes certainly many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let us stop nosferatu because it is essential to german economic interests and so this idea 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 remain a world power and in the way that it has been a global actor wanted to appear as how up for the last well how a century and it isn't a development that could be positive for the world if germany were to take its opportunity and point and use it your duty 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 how 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 it wants to build up the continent again after this terrible faced with the economic consequences of a cold with 90 then we have to find different ways are that is

a for me this hour and 32 minutes a little bit more than that i'll be back with another lot of watching our to the national lead. we go to work so you straight home. secrets prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were allowed to leave those prison was located only cia people

had access to the story for investigators show how they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean one of the name thing you graded nor been taught or known 7 year. old p.c. maybe a sore knee yes or no for. crying for justice on r.t. . is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being lead somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world

corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a mate in the shallows. i understand that a firm on doesn't help to lead the world in getting on projects and joy and moving toward global energy as fast as possible the planet will be young little organisms like us i used to say let's shut down vermont yankee in 2012 meet the promise that we may ensure that energy louisiana cleans up the mass and let's have a governor who's going to move us to renewable energy and mood.
