violence and physical confrontation to seize power by force against the will of the people that could be more. lives he'll believe that the government was falsified reports on how many people like him by phone by her body fat guy temporale the government that is going to regard. the demonstrators again was and this is something that was seen yesterday it was empty if. ever there was a little bit of slaves like that. that still does has engulfed many of them. we've seen clashes with police live feed the

feelin this equation here is why dramatic tendency to keep pulling back for the sake of peace not going back towards the parliament building which is where they were concentrated yesterday. i am. live now we've also seen that some believe that the cuban 19 pandemic could get worse from from so many people gathering for. but the before your don't seem to care about that much.

leave her than your watching the president with her are his plans the. basically given up on one over the weekend of. them and through the stillness 3 you can see. they're going back towards the police. they're going back towards the fairgrounds and sensually and i say they're not going to give up. ok let's give you an update then on the global coronavirus figures the overall case cantors exceeded 12000000 people worldwide with more than half a 1000000 fatalities meanwhile a new study does show that the covert death toll in europe is 2 thirds higher than expected in a bad flu year the death rates are higher both among older generations as well as the 15 to 44 age group the worst hit countries have been spain and the u.k. as well as france and this really we spoke to dr david nabarro who is the w.h.o. special covert envoy to europe.

the primary mode of transmission of this virus and i want to stress that that is still believed to be true droplets if you are 2 meters your clear of them if you get some very very small particles that are light enough to be picked up by the. then they couldn't go further than to me to the w.h.o. house actually knowledge that it's knowledge that all along but it continues to say that this airborne transmission is less common. just 2 examples one is when you've got people singing in a choir or in a karaoke bar 2nd situation is where you got people in very confined quarters

and with the air circulation not really bringing in fresh air and water into that then you can get circulation of particles that can cause disease but those are exceptional do not nor more situation. i would like all countries to do everything possible to avoid further stringent lock downs physical distancing face protection and hygiene this virus is here to stay just like 2530 years ago this new virus called h r i became along causing aids and it here to stay so cobi is here to stay we have to learn to live with this virus and get on with our lives despite the fact that it's really dangerous and unpleasant the only way in which those virus

could possibly disappear is if it's eradicated and that will require a massive rigorous and well implemented program with a really super back scene and we're not there at all at this can't. seem to come the brazilian press association has filed a lawsuit against the country's president for taking off his mask during a media conference call to announce that he has the coronavirus we'll have a look at the details on this a bit later. in france there is anger hahn the streets the capitol hill over some newly appointed ministers who have rather questionable pasts a protest staged by women's rights groups took place on tuesday and is expected to continue on friday.

today. the. party shall have been seen now explains why changes at the heart of the french government have provoked such anger. president macron had hoped to reshuffle of the french government would give him a much needed boost languishing in the opinion polls and with less than 2 years before the next presidential election he needs to turn things around but as some of the names for some of the top jobs in french politics were announced mouths dropped in shock the new interior minister the man in charge of law and order here has done one known founded many when we talk about the careers of men chanter and regulations are we talking about those appointed as ministers how can you imagine

for a moment that the fight against sexist and sexual violence moves forward with a rapist at the interior ministry. and a masculinist of the justice ministry to. this government is a disgrace it's a tremendous slept that emanuel macron has launched in the face of all those who have mobilized against sexual and gender based violence dominance character has been. out since rape allegations were made against him now a woman alleges that he forced himself on her during a meeting in 2009 domain and has always denied the accusations while the original proving to the claims was dropped just weeks before he was annoying to it into one of the most powerful jobs in france a court decided to reopen the probe many are now questioning my judgment saying it's an insult to victims of sexual assault. concerning. he currently has been against him and recently the justice system relaunched the

investigation into his case was posing the problem is that he's been nominated to become france's top cop meaning he'll have under his orders people who are supposed to be investigating his case. but leaving him an 18 sound one who's been abused. straight as the head of the police when the older 2 don't take complaints seriously is generally speaking kind of 2 women who are victims of rape sexual assault who police refuse to listen to. for us and for all people who are victims of rape assault there is spitting in our face really because for months for years even we've been denouncing violence that we're breaking the silence when it comes to rape cells domestic violence and we have the feeling that we're hurt but they don't care at all about what we have to say outraged over this decision protests erupted. oh.

oh oh. oh oh despite the intensity of emotions boiling over it leaves a powerless little to offer after legal analysis the relevant service is assessed that there was no obstacle to domino's nomination domino nero wasn't the issue protesters took to it the newly appointed justice minister also riled the crowds he's the lawyer to pull a retie he's previously defended high profile men who faced charges of rape he's also known to be a critic of the me too movement suggesting some actresses sleep with men in power to get a leg up so to say calling it promotion the leader of one french feminist organization had this to say ladies and gentlemen our new justice minister i have to vomit on

the streets of paris protesters were equally appalled to. see someone who has defended for a post office a from a site who must be defended in a court of law indeed but it came with a way of defending them by attacking the me too movement talking about the histories. of the debate in reference to women in the direct to paul moretti as interior minister and justice minister is for us if they talk blow to this so-called great cause of the presidential it doesn't seem that this is about to grow were protests of being called across france on friday with many theory is that buying making these appointments macron house in their minds. gender equality an issue he had once described as a little rant was a big cause of his presidency so it seems artsy harris. the top american universities of harvard and the massachusetts institute of

technology have filed lawsuits against government departments that is after new guidelines were announced according to which all international students will have to leave the country if their universities move too slowly online education we will pursue this case vigorously so that our international students and international students at institutions across the country can continue their studies with of the threat of deportation well according to the new guidelines foreign students attending universities and colleges that will operate online only from this autumn will have to leave the country those roles but currently abroad won't be issued visas but international students do have the option to transfer to other schools with face to face teaching but the move has put a big question mark over the 1000000 or so international students still currently in the country they do make up more than 5 percent of the entire higher education population in the u.s. and in 2018 international students boosted the country's economy by nearly

$45000000000.00 after mathy from the midwestern state university believes that the sector has to find a way for foreign students to remain. we don't really have much of a choice in terms of leaving the country because. of us international students and some of the countries that we do come from very poor sir close so in a sense it's kind of a sticky situation is that we're stuck here i mean i'm myself i'm from dominique and. there are currently closed even though there aren't any couvade 1000 cases in dominique a at the moment but the ports are still closed just for us you know safety precautions and all of that the universities just find some kind of way to make sure that the classes can be in person whether it's a can in hand sanitizer before you enter the building or if we all have to put on

masts then we'll just have to do that in force in the just shanley's try to find some way to make university students stay in the country. still to come this hour the likes of robert de niro and nancy pelosi you know if i can you west received millions in the u.s. government cash what was meant to be a trumpet ministrations by act to help the most fun rebuild businesses will have a look at why this is happening just after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that.

welcome back now the trump of ministration has handed out half a trillion dollars to support small businesses during the pandemic but it does turn

out now that tens of millions of actually ended up in the bank can solve venture capitalists celebrities and also politicians. reports. the pandemic has had a deadly effect on the u.s. economy thousands of businesses have closed their doors trump's government has launched a payment protections for ogram intended to keep the economy rolling along in these hard times sounds like a good idea but it's off to a bumpy start this $100000000000.00 doesn't even begin to touch it they said about a trillion dollars program to begin with scores of angry business owners claim they were also denied in the p.p.p. home while its intent was i think good it's it's not practical for what they do many small business owners on the losing end of the recently published lists of companies that got payments has many asking questions about who ended up on the winning side now when you think of a small business you probably think of

a community hardware store or a family owned restaurant not t.g.i. friday's restaurant chain or kanye west or perhaps the burning man music festival robert deniro a hollywood actor and trump critic even got a bailout for his restaurant chain i'm going to say one thing trump. many of trump's harshest critics seem to have no shame about taking p.p.p. money middle seat consulting a liberal firm utilized by the reelection campaign of alexandria kazuo cortez got a decent payout e.t.i. associates a company associated with speaker of the house nancy pelosi as husband paul palosi received a loan of between $3501000000.00 making nancy pelosi as recent criticism of the program sound just a bit hypocritical the administration's decision to hide basic bait tech protection

program one data is a disturbing sign if it's like a concern for who gets this funding how much they receive or why and finally there is joe biden he's got to be confused with p.p.a. to make sure we have enough. p.p.p. those those protective gear and there are other enough arms or enough p.p.p. our own material barista holdings his son's natural gas firm it's got ties to ukraine was also a beneficiary of the program as were many top biden donors small businesses are really the engines of our cities of the prime generator of jobs and own lot of the star business is these mom and pop businesses did not get these p.p.p. loans no one understands why this happened what standards for use out of a total of all small businesses that applied for p.p.p. money nationally nearly $22000.00 small businesses received a loan for under $1000.00 and more than 1200 of those businesses

received less than $100.00 with some businesses receiving loans as low as $1.01 of the also interesting things is that those that did get the loans and those are forgivable loans were the larger companies not small businesses the venture capitalist companies billionaires political powerhouse people whether it's republican or democrat everybody is drinking from the trough of free money u.s. president ronald reagan used to say that despite rivalries politicians were quote all friends after 6 well it seems you should have added to that all friends when it comes to handing out taxpayer money here with mop and artsy new york. russia's federal security service has attained the governor of a region in the country's far east on suspicion of organizing murders around 15

roman here in brazil because he has a very hostile approach to georgia lists and this was the last fact considered by the entrance of this lawsuit after he announced that his us commission could advertise the pill because it's trying to tell people that everyone should take this view that the virus is not dangerous that's people consider so i think that his idea is to show people that everyone can go back to work go back to the streets you reference we don't know if it's really sick if is really ill or a hit or if it is just telling the story to make people feel confidence about you know nuts. about a treatment that's not considered considered efficient or good by health so toric
