coronavirus cases and now accounts for about a quarter of covert deaths globally nevertheless donald trump is still trying to convince everyone that washington is leading the fight against the virus but mexico and even the e.u. aren't convinced as head of balkan explains over 130000 americans have died from coded 19 and the number of those infected across america has surpassed the 3000000 mark but that hasn't stopped us leaders from bragging claiming that the usa is the leader globally in fighting the virus i think the world is looking at now says a leader and covert 19 we showcase. 99 percent of which are totally harmless. results that no other country can show because no other country is testing that we have now the rest of the world isn't buying that one bit the usa his neighbor to the north

canada says they are doing a better job fighting the virus than the united states is we were able to control the virus better than many of our allies particularly including our neighbor non-essential travel between the usa and canada has been shut down since march now some people want to open up again on july 21st but most canadians say they want to keep the americans out canadian prime minister to skip his meeting with donald trump and the mexican president earlier this week the reason he gave the safety concerns of course but it looks like prime minister wasn't missed at least by trump gushed over his southern counterpart spin a profound privilege to have you with us today and it's april found privileged to have you as my friend we've had a great relationship right from the beginning the mexican people are incredible. they upheld our highest values god family and country now you might remember that a big beautiful wall was the central plank of donald trump's campaign now things

have taken an interesting turn sense now local residents on the arizona u.s. border have been blocking the roads to keep americans out of mexico and mexico actually installed just impaction tunnels for travelers from the united states none of this has not been any wind out of america's sails the u.s. government is convinced that their allies across the atlantic will accept america with open arms made some real progress technical progress and now we need to draw that to a conclusion and then they'll be a system a system to monitor and measure to make sure that we get the timing right and we get the toggle switches right both sides of the atlantic want to get this back up and both sides understand that our economies depend on the deep important relation trans-atlantic relationship matters and harsh facts still remain the european union has banned all non-essential travel from the united states for all of its swagger and self-proclaimed status and fighting code in the world is keeping its distance america is isolated

a pariah like never before been artsy new york. a former transportation safety board official has been looking at what at his company like for americans during the pandemic he made this report america. ok well you've ordered are there are always the airport now able to see how to change what changes have been made by their allies in the airports on checking in and what their reaction trial is going to be like now and hold it. but. you can see that there's a lot of people here it's always pretty easy to practice social distancing for the 1st thing you do before you go into the airport for sure you're wearing your mask and when you're inside. airport and throughout your travels make sure that you wash your hands frequently for 20 seconds and sawing away and or using hand sanitizers.

we're in the southwest check in area at national airport in washington d.c. you can see that there's a limited number of kiosks here usually i would say that there's probably about 3 times as many kiosks here if you look at the airport it's empty. i can tell you right now we've been here for what 3045 minutes and this is the most people i've seen the airport all morning for the t.s.a. security point here at washington national you can see there's a limited number of travelers here going through security so the chances of your being delayed for security are pretty slim right now during these times would be people are traveling like they were prior to the pandemic the c.s.a. is also trying to maintain social distance and you'll notice on the floors they put some marks to remind people to maintain 60 to port and social distances.

t.s.a. has no institution new rules and regulations on how their interaction happens which way the passenger and the agent it's no longer will the passengers hands or their boarding pass or the points i devise to the agent this agent will observe it from them with us or the passenger holds it up for them. as well as showing them to their id. if you're thinking about food you might want to think about something before you get to the airport that you can bring with you is when this more affordable the restaurants are very limited and the ones that are open. and the ones that are open they're kind of because there's not many options for people to go. for during the flight self so it really was kind of an unremarkable. other than that everybody had on masks and. since we're flying felt less there maintain. so the little free entry to the point was pretty for me there are good results what kind of preening they were doing with the point in between every flight and also

they're doing every night with what is not now we're here in nashville so let's go get our baggage. health care workers have been the ones on the front lines throughout the global pandemic but they've also been putting their lives on the line in order to help those in need and they want to see documentary has been hearing from the relatives of medical workers who succumbed to the virus you can watch the full documentary here on r.t. later today so what i did on the r.t.e. documentary website here's a quick taste of what it's all about. before we came to america my mind does business owner and me. my hands are my mom she was the assurance. there spider was. your sisters.

she doesn't want any tubes on her but when the doctors said that if they removed that suits she will also go. again and make that decision for her and. i feel like if i would have said to him that. children are. always. of course we were very hurt and sad but we weren't surprised to say they said dane separable and. we were very very very close family. with never imagined just what our parents and their last days in their lives here. to just watch a car. you know bring them to be a mentor in place. thank you. know 1st time i met michael as in christmas. and my questions are being asked.

might miss you know and you know but yeah. in other news this hour serbia has been walked by a 3rd day of violent protests against lockdown measures being reimposed. protested outside the parliament building in the capital condemning another restriction by the government which bans gatherings of more than 10 people the demonstration that began as a peaceful sit down protest under the slogan sit down don't be set up soon turned violent although organizers blame hooligans for the unrest. 6 officers have been left injured after police clashed with protesters outside the

a leading university showed he has more details from the french capital. well this was a very gruesome tale one that certainly not for the faint hearted it emerged last year that their allegations that thousands of bodies that had been dissed donated to a research center here in paris had been found in the most appalling conditions you mentioned one of them there that parts of the bodies had been by rats there were other allegations that bodies were just strewn around naked they were piled up on top of each other now families will completely or garst when they found out that this is how their loved ones bodies had been treated after death after they had donated them and a report that sort of highlighted this scandal in the 1st place had even more details to highlight the upper limb of one is placed on the belly of the other rubbish bags overflow with pieces of flesh the proliferation of mice flies and

infestations many of the bodies and body parts have maggots in them the head lies on the ground you have the feeling of being in the 19th century or in their nations with the putrefied bodies on which the doctors work well distressed families have brought 80 complaints against the university which is one of the reasons why this investigation has now been launched but at the time when this 1st emerged one medical union blame this on the fact that the center had just been overwhelmed. when we read the article we got chills because we couldn't imagine that such things could happen in the faculty and that the corpses could have been treated like this with no respect to the wishes of those who donated their bodies things that break our ethical code so this shocked us deeply and this made us address the medical union to see if they want to react. well if you think that this story couldn't be any more gruesome it actually took an even more disturbing turn with allegations

that the university was even making a profit from these bodies that had been donated selling them on to other companies the allegations are that one whole body was being sold for nearly a $1000.00 while single body parts were being sold at around $440.00 so really some pretty disturbing allegations against this university which at one point was the largest center of its kind for this type of research opening all the way back in 1953 it was shut down though by the french authorities last year after these allegations of merged people just completely horrified and shocked as to what they were reading about at the time an inspection panel recently released a short term interim report into what happened it perrie discard university saying that it was guilty of some serious ethical breaches the family lawyer of some of

the families that had brought complaints against the institution have welcomed this investigation saying they hope that finally justice will now be served what is coming your way after the break. israel media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. heis a nation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is truth what is faith. in the

world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex island show and i'll be speaking to you after the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you very. welcome back the u.s. secretary of state says his country has been completely transparent regarding the international law basis for an airstrike that killed iran's top general customs on the money that comes after u.n. expert concluded the assassination back in january was a lot for. my report as an annex presenting

a case study of the targeted killing of iranian janeiro have some sort of money concluding that is was a violation of the un charter governing the use of force and an arbitrary killing the international community must now confront the very real prospect that state may all opt to strategy clearly eliminate iran king military or fi shows outside the context of a known war and seek to justify the killings on the ground of necessity not imminent. the rapporteur however also described iran's retaliatory missile strikes as an eagle on the 3rd of january this year president trump ordered a drone strike on generals in amman international airport washington justify the killing by saying solomonic was planning an imminent attack on u.s. interests in the region however its never put forward any evidence to support the claim back then the attack triggered protests in iran and further afield.

i can as kalamata presented her report to the u.n. human rights council from which washington withdrew in 2018 however that didn't stop the u.s. state department from hitting back at the accusation. this to downshift and tedious report undermines human rights by giving pass to terrorists and proves once again

why america was right to leave the council it was an international crime of grave nature of threatening international peace and security to the us and this they posted the u.s. drones operations the responsibility and must be held to account for this lawless behavior and criminal act we also professor of political science at university of tehran about whether the report will have any influence on the us. it's not going to have any actual influence on their behavior nevertheless we have to remember that under the trumpet ministration a us soft power in the world has been declining and by soft power we mean how popular the american way you like the american political and economic system is in the reason for that is because during the trump administration the americans have conducted a very controversial policies whether we dream from international organizations carrying out illegal strike such as the killing your boss and so on the money or

even the trade wars that they started so under the trump and ministration us influence in the world has been declining in the long run this will have an impact on american power and standing in international relations. with almost half of angela merkel's cabinet headed by women germany's already one of the most progressive european countries when it comes to women in politics but the chancellor estate of your party now wants to go a step further and introduce quotas so that women make up half of the entire party in the next few years with all the details he is part of a. german conservatives the cd you are looking to dramatically shake up the demographics of their party top brass this week approved quotas for women in senior positions with quotas for those standing in elections under consideration this decision was long overdue the quote is

a crutch it doesn't solve all problems but it is the 1st important step to better involve women if women continue to be represented in offices and mandate as little as before they can have no influence in shaping the future so how will this work the plan is that in the coming bundestag election 30 percent of the positions in the christian democratic union will be held by women rising to 50 percent by. 2025 in order to proceed the equality proposal has to be approved by party membership in december that may not be so easy with critics saying that position should be based on ability not gender shouldn't quality counts instead of a quota or there was a would be for a quota based on various professional qualifications economic sectors and years of work outside of politics criticism of the movie isn't just coming from men with some seedy you women saying this attempt at equality is simply or just it could end

up back firing a quota or 40 and 50 percent does not correspond to the proportion of women in the membership if in the future it is easier for women to get a position in c.g. than men it will be i'm fat while others say this will lead to the achievements of women who reach senior positions belittled i myself would have opposed to it if i had been told that you can into this office because you were quite a woman many women find undervaluing to assume that they only came to office because of their gender more than women don't want to be stamped the c.d.u. already has a woman in the country's top job of course angle a miracle is stepping down at next year's election though and there have been allegations of her potential replacement being pale male and stale opposition in the green party have described the equality move and told will have to wait until december of this year to find out what c.d.u. party faithful think these are all about r.t.

. marini is a professor of eastern european politics at the university of delaware she believes there's still much to be done to integrate women in politics. it's not enough i as i said it's a starting point to but then we realize the debt to these women have many difficulties to go on with their or own political career to improve their. positions political positions maybe to become also party leaders or in some so they are more used to just to say ok we have female in our parliaments we have the male among our ministries and sometimes they do not have important let's say i mean is. usually there are and they get position for shame unease for 2 gender opportunities or so policies which are not considered very interesting and very important for the national government and there are a few down trees that have a choice

a female who is and ministry of foreign or defense policy so it's not enough and it's not so easy as joining us here at r.t. international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. we go to work. straight home.
