you can't be both with the yeah you like. america's reputation in europe is dealt a big blow by its handling of the corona virus a new poll suggests that as the u.s. hits an all time high of covert cases with 45000 added on friday alone. france is much anticipated tracing app is used to send just 14 alerts in 3 weeks that says half a 1000000 people delete it from their phones research the streets of paris to find somebody who's using it. and it's a no no no no no no we took this thing. and a new york's most influential black lives matter activist warns that the system

will be burned down to the movement. demands are not even met. and instead of looking at least we want to look at us. blackness in our revolutionary states dismiss everything in its own productive. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our t. international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us we're going to start with some news just in on r t international there are reports from cal in california that say that 2 people have been killed and 4 injured in a shooting at a wal-mart distribution center in the town of red bluff now according to workers at the facility the gunman ran his vehicle into the building before opening fire the attacker was shot and killed by police it is not known what the motives were police

of course are investigating at this time. all right the u.s. has seen another record daily increase in 1000 cases within the country registering more than 45000 new infections on friday those figures were revealed by johns hopkins university now the u.s. still holds the record for the most to global infections with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases the latest surge has forced several states including texas and florida to suspend plans to reopen despite that though president trump claims his country is coping well with the pandemic and we have the greatest testing program in the world we've developed it over a period. and we're up to almost 30000000 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. art as he says the us 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 that being attributed 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 the u.s. has dealt a blow to the country's reputation in europe a new survey in 9 countries shows 59 percent believe america's image has suffered during the pandemic while just 6 percent believe it has improved we asked 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 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. 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 we are not better actually we cannot really compare. the new era everybody mostly reacted in the common way and with germany maybe suffer 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 it was an indian i did states they have managed to convert 9000 poorly in fact it is enough to count to 10 i believe that we have controlled and managed the better. it up this is up to me lupin demick america has not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build disappoint mexicans i

suppose he wasn't souquet. fighting this virus he could have done newman but instead underestimated the situation are you annoyed that i put it 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 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 now this is despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every single day r.t. charlotte dubinsky looks into why. stop coded. 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 more 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 another tracing up one for catalonia. ok so after a full start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think 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 2 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 may. she has 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. i didn't take the time to download it oh did you leave in

a safe way for example i did to 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 truthfully i'm 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 that could be we purpose for mars 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 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 clearly it 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. this is true the numbers of infections haven't been steadily declining in front's said to take oh says he will be useful if there's a new spike in cases until then the french state say to pick up a bale of up to $120000.00 euros

a month for that all using solar table ski ati. a leading black lives 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 newsome 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 would we sing in this in our education to give black people who better opportunities toward the future what are 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 a remedial the situations that they cause a need for the police people commit crimes i don't know how verty mental health

issues and desperation let's attack poverty by providing opportunity let's provide social services to tackle the mental health aspect of our recent poll shows that almost half of americans view the black lives matter movement very favorably while almost 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 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 wealth of knowledge and instead of looking it out knowledge they want to look at us and no prob 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 artist's right over a 1000 european politicians have signed a letter condemning israel's plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank the parliamentarians argue that 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 chance a acquisition of territory by force has no place in 2020 and must have commensurate consequences an explosion of parts of the occupied west bank was proposed into the trumpet ministrations so-called peace plan which was released in january it envisages all illegal jewish settlements being brought under israeli control effectively reducing palestine to a patchwork of non can take us territories in exchange for financial investment from the us the initiative has it been roundly rejected by the palestinians and much of the international community now it has however emboldened prime minister benjamin netanyahu he aims to begin the process of an extension on the 1st of july now we spoke with

a number of 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 violates quite a number of un laws over the years and it has done so in a few knitting i hope international community which is very weak on this conflict 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 and that 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 situation united states and it's lost a lot of credibility to britain. 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 but 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. this like terry is

because he's crossed party because he's crossed you know sort of you know he across europe and has been 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 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 what distro can bring but i see nothing but the bench or. in spain

a famous painting has been made on recognizable after restoration work or 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. the

. old. 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 of 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 the international. or. you know what wall street's up to its usual bag of tricks now back to 2008 global financial crisis and remember that movie the big short and remember i 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're causing reports that you know what this exact same thing is going to happen again in 10 to 12 years and guess what here we are 12 years later and. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back this is our team international now the wealth of facebook founder mark

zuckerberg has fallen 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 a lot to do with their fury but a new undercover report by project very tough suggests the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for quite some time now parties jacqueline 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 confidence 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 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 occur burke 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 an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really came to take the word from our side yes good for ourselves really 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 gets to give a 100 percent they really do fire 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 blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seasons to be a neutral public platform of the 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 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 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 ruing 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 have 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 u.s. now wish to withdrawal from that role for its own free will we would have to reflect on that very deeply. 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 bring others home so germany's delinquent they've been delinquent for years and they own 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 to $25000.00 soldiers and there's another bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the north stream it to pipeline project if completed it will pump russian gas through the baltic sea to germany on thursday a group of u.s. senators introduced legislation for senate review for tougher sanctions against those involved in the project now reports suggested that germany is preparing to strike back beyond of a soli from germany's the left party told us berlin it will not bow to u.s. pressure. there certainly are many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let the u.s.

start nosferatu because it is essential to german economic interests and so this type 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 picture when it appears as powerful the last well how the 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 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 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 if it wants to build up the continent again after this terrible. economic consequences that call it 90 then we have to find different ways are 32 minutes that's when i'll be back with another look at our news this is our 2 international stay with. we go to work. straight home.

secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within the zeros on the work to view the houses were. preserved were located. access to the story investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. for justice. well welcome back to the night i still missed a live audience and months still miss you guys is the show where americans in

america covering american news are called foreign agents there's been a ground breaking few weeks the statues continue to fall around the country. i. monuments to confederate generals christopher columbus on your mind and others have been toppled looks like our great country had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century we were going to do with out of 5 that would have been un-american of us some argue removing statues means we will never again know our history yes yes exactly one can only learn history from metallic facsimiles which consist of 30.
