they call it a dream which i think's true. it's a problem in the fact. america's reputation in europe is dealt a big blow. a new poll suggests that's as the u.s. hits an all time high above the kobe cases with 45000 added on friday alone. the truth of much anticipated covert tracing app is used to send just 14 alerts in 3 weeks a 1000000 people deleted from their phones research the streets of paris to find somebody. no no no no no no we took that. and the new york's most influential black lives a matter activist warns of the system will be burned down if the movement's demands

are not that. instead of looking at our knowledge they want to look at us and. our revolutionaries there's dismiss everything that we're seeing in. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us all right the u.s. has seen another record daily increase in covert 1000 cases within the country registering more than 45000 new infections on friday those figures were revealed by johns hopkins university and the u.s. is still the hole there of the record for the most 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 president claimed his country is coping well with the pandemic. 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. as he says there 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 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 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 the 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. 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 with germany maybe suffer

through a less but 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 19 poorly in fact it is enough to count the debt i believe that we have controlled and manage the epidemic better. you know this is it for me the pandemic in america has not taken seriously a person like trump has done nothing he was able to build a separation wall with mexico i suppose he was also capable fighting this virus he could have done moved but instead underestimated the situation or you would 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 meanwhile in france a corona virus tracing up has alerted just 14 users about their potential exposure

over the course of the last 3 weeks now that is despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every single day or 2 child bensky take a look. stop code. it was supposed 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 what 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 another tracing up one for catalonia.

ok so after a full start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think that given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with small phones that's barely a did in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die. but almost immediately 460000 then 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 plunge and the budget for you tube no no no no no no we do to faint. yes somebody who is actually down loaded it but then she said this as if yes i don't loaded it but i didn't really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so war

i was there is such resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the mortal world has ever apparently see. i take precautionary 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. and it's in that for the younger generation i wasn't interested in 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 safeway for example i do you could buy i can 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 we've made it. and that phone 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 us surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to worry about off there or 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 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 and this is true the numbers of infections have been steadily declining in france said draco says the app 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 one. $120000.00 euros a month for that all using solar tables. leading a black lives matter activists 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 didn't says however that he doesn't condone violence or writing we spoke to the rights activists in the wake of the controversial interview and ask him about the changes he wants to see the authorities make would we sing in this

in our education to give black people 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 the community organizations should it to remediate the situations that 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. a recent poll shows that almost half of americans view the black lives that matter movement very favorable favorably while almost the same number have a positive view of the police which have become a target as of late for the movement following george floyd's death in police

custody in minneapolis and the remarks did not go down well with donald trump who branded them treasonous and seditious the activist in turn says that the administration has failed to help struggle 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 clouds matter should 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 at our knowledge they want to look at

us and and probe like missing out revolutionary stages in dismiss everything that we're saying and it's counterproductive so the country why not listen to the people who are fighting the hardest right. taking a swing around the globe this hour to look at some other stories making headlines reports from california 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 according to workers at the facility the gunman rammed his vehicle into the building before opening fire the attacker was reportedly shot and killed by police it is not clear what his motives were. i. i. scuffles broke out between protesting entertainment industry workers and police officers in rome on saturday actors dancers set designers and artists took the streets to demand financial help from the government many have had their

livelihoods wiped out by the pandemic and due to the nature of their profession struggle to access welfare support. russia's northern capital was treated to a spectacular fireworks display on saturday as part of an annual festival marking the end of the school year this year though people had to watch on t.v. or online as the night sky above the gulf of finland is with colored up. over a 1000 european politicians have signed a letter condemning israel's plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank the parliamentary argued 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 going international relations including the un chancer acquisition of territory by force has no place

in 2020 and must have commensurate consequences. an extension of parts of the occupied west bank was a proposed in the trumpet ministration 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 noncontiguous territories in exchange for financial investment from the us the initiative has been roundly rejected by the palestinians and much of the international community as well. it has however emboldened prime minister binyamin netanyahu he aims to begin the process of annexation on the 1st of july 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 miley quite a number of un laws over the years and it has done so with impunity 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 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 all day they should be a sanctions imply. 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 it's crossed you know sort of you know you crossed euro 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 3 days a few weeks this will be a huge major during this conflict and i don't know what can distort or can bring but i see nothing but that but then ger germany's chancellor is warning that europe will needed to reimagine its role in the world if the u.s. continues to pursue isolationist policies more that after a short break this is r.t. international.

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. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only move. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and.

welcome back this is our t. international now the wealth of facebook founder mark zuckerberg has fallen by $7000000000.00 as its share prices tumbles and lucrative advertisers boycotted the network claiming it isn't doing enough to filter hate speech donald trump has a lot to do with the new fury but a new undercover report by project very suggest that the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for quite some time now 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 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'll add buying dollars being used by the conference 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 sites 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 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 a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really

came to take the work from our side yes good cop out so 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 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 blacklist shadow and are editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter ceases 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'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 entered the thought of regulating content on a site all 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 have gotten more and more nuanced and guess what that's not going away the users just might. in spain a famous painting has been made on recognizable after a restoration worker decided to add

a little bit of creativity and it is the 1st time a famous piece of art has received about 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 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 statement 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 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 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 to $25000.00 soldiers and there's another

bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the north to stream 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 suggest that germany is preparing to strike back john thomas ollie from germany's the left party told us berlin will not bow to u.s. pressure. yes certainly many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let the us stop nosferatu because it is essential to german economic interests and so this pipeline 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 that you 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 were to take its opportunity and point and use it you're a 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 the other there are 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. or does a female be back in about 31 minutes and 10 seconds with another full look at your
