yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. as a report. america's reputation in europe is a big blow by its handling of the coronavirus a new poll suggests that's as if the u.s. hits an all time high of cold cases with 45000 added on friday alone. france's march a much anticipated tracing as well as sending just 14 alerts in 3 weeks that's half a 1000000 people deleted from their phones research on the streets of paris to find somebody who's using it. no no no no no no no we don't think. and that new york's most influential black lives matter activist warns that the system will be burned down if the movement's demands

are not met. instead of looking at our knowledge we want to look at us and blankness in our revolutionary state didn't dismiss everything that we're saying and it's counterproductive. for casting a lot of direct from our studios in moscow this is our key international i'm sean tunnels certainly glad to have you. all right now the u.s. has seen another record daily increase in 1000 cases with the country registering more than 45000 new infections on friday those figures were revealed by johns hopkins university the u.s. still holds 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 claims his country is

coping well with the pandemic. we have the greatest testing program in the world we've developed it over. and we're up to almost $30000000.00 tests that means we're going to 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. well 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 europeans for their view. 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 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 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 little 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 deaths i believe those 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 truong has done nothing he was able to build a separation war with mexico i suppose he will i'm so capable of fighting this virus he could have done moon 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 us has different economic resources and a different population we too have made all mistakes meanwhile in france a coronavirus tracing up has alerted just 14 users about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks that is despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every single day. and what. stop

coded. 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 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 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 was smart phones that's barely a dip in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die. 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 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 raw you were is this a true resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the more world has ever apparently seen. 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. it's an f. 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 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 to be quite wary of what would be done was made. 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

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 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 delete is the other thing that nobody was thinking the up would work anyway france is 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 said to take oh says it 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 solar tables r t. a leading black lives that 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 a hawk didn't system however that he doesn't convey on violence or rioting we spoke to the rights activists 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 good the money back into the community organizations should be to really be the situations that cause a need for the police people commit crimes i don't know how every 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 matter movement very favorably while 4 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 and knew some remarks did not go down very 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 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 wealth of knowledge instead of looking it out knowledge they want to look at us and i probe like missing 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 right. the force 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 you tacker was reportedly shot and killed by police it is not clear what the motives were. i. scuffles broke out between protesting entertainment industry workers and police officers in rome on saturday actors dancers and set designers and even artists took to 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 is the night sky above the gulf of finland fizzled with color but. more than a 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 to 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 expansion of parts of the occupied west bank was a proposed in the trumpet ministrations so-called peace plan which was released in january it in visitors all 'd illegal jewish settlement sent settlements excuse me

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. it has however emboldened prime minister benyamin netanyahu he aims to begin the process of an extension 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 palestinian 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 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 elect 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 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 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 r.t. international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race. theory dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask.

and welcome back this is archie 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 and claiming it was not doing enough to filter hate speech donald trump has a lot to do with their anger but a new undercover report by project very toss suggests the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for quite some time ortiz 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 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 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 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 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 have to take the word from our side yes good for ourselves really it's 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 'd that blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter ceases to be a neutral public platform and they become and they're 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 bird 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 in spain a famous painting has been made unrecognizable after restoration work or decided to add a little bit of creativity and it's not the 1st time of 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 merkel has said that europe will needed to become more self-reliant if the united states continues to pursue isolation his policies. we

grew up in the certain knowledge that the united states wanted to be a world power should the us 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 accuses berlin of failing to pay up and ordered some to relocate military personnel that is 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 nord 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 b. 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 u.s. stop loss for you too because it is essential to german economic interests and so this iraq 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 to appear less powerful 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 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 faced with the economic consequences of a cold and 90 then we have to find different ways. now that does it for me i will be back later tonight with a look at your weekly you're watching our to international certainly going to have you with us.
