every single time i went there say to me that d. to prove it 19 it's a delay when m.r.i. is in c.t. scans and so early june my would think visit to the hospital a doctor looked at my notes and said hey you've been you've been her so much times it's got to be something wrong with you. i'm going to schedule you m.r.i. some more i was a little bit hurt that he told me trying always he could schedule me a m.r.i. but i begged him us 3 months to get an m.r.i. or to get a scan doctors told me if i would have got my scan. few months earlier then my prognosis would have been a lot better. my prognosis is about 10 percent and less than 10 percent i was so

while i will. feel a team equal baby no i don't know how long that i'm going to have to you i'm very devastated at the fact that i'm fighting for my life and i mean i'm at the prime of my life fighting my life being misdiagnosed is just devastating this is not a nose i can say no words to put how i feel no words to describe. i'm just devastated. this case comes as do research claims that the corona virus has put the u.k.'s health system under such strain it could result in 6000 extra fatalities among newly diagnosed cancer patients in h.s.i. has also reported the pandemic could delay many more plan to treatments the waiting list for routine procedures currently stands at $4000000.00 and it's expected to jump to 10 by the end of the year meanwhile a 1000000 cancer swabs were delivered to already short staffed laboratories in june

alone sure when hall again believes the whole system needs a rethink if i would have if i would have got my scan and earlier than i would have been a primary tumour and i wouldn't have spread and they could have been able to operate on the primary tumour and get it all to me and i would have been only route to recovery regional patients like my so should be better taken care of the views could at 19 as a smokescreen not to take patients and you leave. cancer patients which cancer kills more people and coo in 1000 each year and i don't know why did i ever go to well i kind of blame you who system but i cannot blame be any excess because the did have very bad meant for patients and i just wish that it would have been a better system of diagnosing it and getting it such an early saving lives.

for a 5th day the serbian capital has been rocked by violence anger upped it over the decision to reintroduce a lockdown measures after figures showed a surgeon covered cases with tensions continuing to rise the president of serbia has criticised the protests. i literally. that he serves stupid it's so irresponsible to call upon people to gather and demonstrate when we're faced with the most horrific numbers of infections from corona virus today is probably the worst day we've registered the number of positive cases of corona virus since the beginning of the pandemic the would stay for sure and we see the consequences today of infections that happened in the last 4 or 5 days and then any 4 or 5 days will see the consequences of these gatherings over the last few nights.

to. keep believe that the government was falsified reports on the kind of. like the cycle was high tempo how the government was going to tear gas. that demonstrators again was and this is something that we've seen yesterday was that i said yes i hasn't done many of them was to be seen clashes of the police i. keep.

the situation here as one of the magic was an incident of people and that they come keep not going backwards to the parliament building which is where they were concentrated yesterday. i have also seen that some. of the big 19th and then it could get worse from from so many people gathering for this moment. but the people you're going seem to care about that much. leave her knowledge then you're watching the president. has. basically given up on the law going over the weekend but demonstrators are still in his reasoning and you can see. they're going back toward the east. they're going back

towards the fairgrounds on sensually and they say they're not going to give up. with governments easing restrictions and the world registering record numbers of the new cases scientists are sounding the alarm about the risks of airborne transmission and we'll have more on that story later in the program. meanwhile trials are underway globally in the race to find a vaccine for the crown a virus but even if scientists do discover an effective cure it seems there are plenty of people who will not be queuing up to take it you're all vote all over explains. the hunt for a coronavirus vaccine is one of if not the great scientific searches of our time but there are those who don't want to see a vaccine found and wouldn't accept one if it was here in germany which was swift to tackle the initial wave of covert 19 coronavirus skeptics have been

demonstrating for months. the latest polling shows more than a 3rd of germans would reject and mandatory vaccination against covert knighting these concerns continue to exist despite mandatory vaccination being on the cards the government here has said again and again that when a vaccine becomes available it won't be compulsory. the government is accused of secretly plotting to introduce mandatory vaccination i want to repeat this she for the chancery said yesterday it will be no ability to banks nation against the coronavirus at the same time germany is now facing a lack of u.s.

supplies of rendez if you're an antiviral drug used to treat coronavirus patients the german health minister has pressed on the manufacturers to get shipments to europe using access to e.u. markets as a stick and. we don't have a huge inventory now we only have a few 100 doses and i expect an international company like gilliard to understand that you can't just cut access to the e.u. markets and high prices for other products and also expect supplies to europe and the european union in the united kingdom the porters have a strong foothold as well a 3rd of brit said they would definitely not get sick or. own a job or they were unsure about the vaccination it's not clear what their views on antivirals are we asked londoners in what ways they're willing to protect themselves and during the pandemic some people refused to get their children vaccinated against all common sense i don't know if i would i be grateful i've been

fact sake if those sorts of things happen and i can't be happy to think that i haven't decided that yeah that's what i need more information everyone should have it these days. i would so i'd want to read all the information 1st and work out how how it works and whether there was side effects from it but i think on the whole good side of the facts in comes available no politic interested probably probably won't have it is to preserve it working very wouldn't be good for trying it it's thanks to vaccines that smallpox has been eradicated that means holes technics and polio are common killers in society social media has been blamed for the rise of the m t vax movement but the platforms themselves say they are actively working to debunk false information about vaccines i report uncovered an industry undermining by being a school community develops a consequence of social media companies both power and profit from misinformation

we reduce vaccine misinformation in news feed we don't show it in search results or recommended to you on facebook or instagram we don't elaborate in ads and we connect people with authoritative information from recognized health experts coronaviruses like covert 19 offer to kill or tricky to develop a vaccine against but as long as science and fact are equated with conspiracy and feeling by some developing a vaccine will only be half the battle there are those that will have to be convinced that it's beneficial at all peter all of a. anger is boiling over in france over the recent appointment of some new ministers women's rights groups are calling it an affront citing 2 of the new im point tease track records i mean activists have been making their discontent felt on the streets of paris.

all right artie's show dubinsky explains why changes at the heart of the french government have provoked such an outcry. 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 mouth 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

asians 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 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 clout since rape allegations were made against him now a woman alleges that he forced himself on her during a meeting in 2009 the woman on has always denied the accusations while the original proving to the claims was dropped just weeks before he was anointed 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 on to his alters people who are supposed to be investigating his case. to do minimum 18 sound when he has been abused. braith as the head of the police when the older 2 don't take complaints seriously is generally speaking. to women who are victims of rape sexual assault who police refuse to listen. 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 umbrage with 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 that some actresses sleep with men in power to get a leg up so to say calling it a 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 in deep but it came with a way of defending them by attacking the me too movement talking about the history . on the debate in reference to women. i refer to paul moretti as interior minister and justice minister is for us the fatal blow to this so-called great cause of the presidential it doesn't seem that this is about to grow worse. with many theory is that by making these appointments much corn has in their minds. gender equality an issue he had once described as a little ranch because of the course of his presidency so it seems artsy

harris. the world health organization has said that micro droplets suspended in the air in enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces may help to spread corona virus over 200 scientists had claimed the w.h.o. was underestimating the likelihood of aerosol transmission and had been calling on the health body to acknowledge the possible risk the warning comes as many countries use their lockdowns and people around the world flood back to shops bars restaurants and beaches user to saskatoon or. when most go shed it's restrictions on lockdown was lifted people wasted no time in pounding the pavement no mosques or clubs just some good old pretend to 20 close crowds and now a few weeks later off to several try months the brits are doing same superstar today so will pubs cafes and restaurants fling open the doors and that the public

isn't. right. these scenes are testament to the sacred place the point holds in british society but they also show that as time passes and people grow restless medical advice is left out the door both the world health organization and the prime minister boris johnson people to stay safe and to keep that distance from the drinking buddies but critics say it was wishful thinking from the start meanwhile across the atlantic americans were also to live their best lives again all around the nation states started emerging from hibernation pulling people out onto the beaches to the restaurants to the my clubs without a cat in the wilds the city of miami was the last city in the entire state of florida open i was criticized for waiting so long when we reopened people started

socializing as if the virus didn't didn't exist what followed was a side in cases and with the rising fear that i see units would hit capacity within a matter of weeks much and see break on reopening those officials on health care experts warn the curve in $1000.00 is still very much annoyed what's more now scientists are warning that the virus could be born meaning that all these tiny particles that we have met when we when we know when we smile even when we breathe they stay suspended and tossed on to. next cost and i mean hailed by them if not tons out to be true than even distance socializing isn't safe but you've never of just looking at this 4th of july celebrations * *. i. everyone wants this crisis to end

and many thought that reopening and pretending things what kate was a good option but also catalonians also is rabies also some a strain and all right didn't suppressed housetop walked out. it didn't that back in lockdown so if those super saturdays still want to be sipping points in the red british sun and oldest then maybe they should start listening to the doctors and take a step back given the current situation we have still a teacher 90 percent people are infected they don't have antibodies and the this mean any change into social behavior will bring the virus created close. to the transmission level we have seen before so if they control the years or more

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle we live in the age of disbelief the people don't trust the government and the government doesn't trust the people how did we come to this deficit of legitimacy and more importantly is there a way out is dialogue possible. to

discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest judge abrar in brazil she is the deputy leader of the workers' party of britain as well as the author of the drive to war against russia and china her upcoming book is identity politics class and in budapest we go to george samuel he is author of bombs for peace nato's humanitarian war on you ok crossed up rules that affect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate ok let's go to bristol here. a few weeks ago and i think i already told this to george is that i was watching the tucker carlson show on fox and he was interviewing the swedish ambassador to the united states. because kofi annan he was asked the man asking her how her government dealt with it and she started out by saying the people trust the government and the government trust the

people well that is so normal a situation in the west right now it's remarkably different what accounts for this here because it the ability to have dialogue is almost impossible now and i'm not just talking left and right up nothing about people in the government go ahead i mean to be honest with you i'm not sure it's even really a trade in sweden anymore ok fair to. say that for a while it was. there is a trust between the government and people. when the people fail that the government has their interests at heart now for a long time capitalist governments have been able certainly in the west we had a kind of welfare state a social democratic consensus that a certain minimum lifestyle must be provided for everybody and therefore people felt the government was kind of had their back well there was a certain safety net and low level that we were low which they would not now we saw

that.
