new york. florida records another record daily increase in. new york prices like anything health workers have seen before. many of my colleagues including those who.

it was. president. say they have. more than 6. broadcasting from moscow to the world this is your r t international my names you know you're welcome to the program. new video showing us police officer restraining a block by kneeling on his neck in a chilling echo of the george. lloyd killing the latest incident happened in

pennsylvania the evening and an investigation is underway the local police department has so far defended the officer's actions saying the suspect was behaving erratically after the footage appeared online protests broke out a warning you may find the following images upsetting. we don't matter i'm broke. the law is his night. and he was going to file right after appearing on twitter it shows the reverse scenario with a protester in new york attempting to put a public self-assertion in a headlock the footage just sparked outrage among police unions on the probes been you know. many officers now say they fear for their safety and a blue lights mother movement has grown in support of law enforcement the group

rallied in new york over the weekend on tempers flare it is they clash with black arrives not where i think this officers use tasers and most of the rest. was was was was was god god god. god god god god. of new york hound bombed large scale public events for 3 months citing the high spread high risk of spreading covert only to then allow black lives matter always to actually take place being looking at the questions being asked the bottom line exception was made. as new york city works to slow the spread of coded 19 in

the hopes of soon fully reopening mayor bill de blasio has banned all large public gatherings except for black lives matter protests we understand at this moment of history people are talking about the need for historic changes this is a historic moment of change we have to respect that big crowds at any protest you would think would be a perfect recipe for spreading coded 19 however mainstream media would have you believe otherwise they say the protests are not causing the spread of the coronavirus whereas trump rallies they seem to indicate do massive protests in new york city and around the country some doctors warn the spike in coronavirus cases could follow but that didn't really happen new study suggests that recent black lives matter protesters have not led or the protests themselves have not led to a spike in new cases health officials warned against their rally but president

trump said we have to move on this is all a little bit odd it's unclear why the virus would seem to have a political bias favoring some big gatherings over others mayor de blasio efforts to sit on both sides of the fence accommodating those afraid of coded 19 by implementing harsh measures on the one hand while letting black lives matter do their thing on the other hand doesn't seem to be working out very well for him his critics argue that the black community which has been disproportionately hit by code 19 should be discouraged not encouraged to protest they even point to the 1st amendment let me get this right where the blasio affairs parades tennis much is banned for public safety may a statistically the group disproportionately affected by the virus is excepted and allowed to congregate and protest you advocate exposing them to increased risk hypocrite how does that make any sense and. but if they can proceed so. in other

bad viruses don't care about social conflicts bill seen the protests are ok but other gatherings are prohibited it sounds like censorship to me these type of speech are assemblies ok but that's kind of isn't let's remember that new york city's mayor bill de blasio presents himself as a big supporter of black lives matter even painted the words black lives matter on the street in front trump tower that was a symbolic move that not all the locals were happy with this nearest promoting defeat in a trade and he did this because he hates surprise when he did you notice right now we have a mayor who doesn't care about you and me the african-american community he lets them rot on the street he's done nothing to help i think it's a joke it's beautiful but he's trying to play both sides of everything he won't pass no reforms or nothing this is like and this is the statue oh that is a joke it doesn't help because it doesn't help that power mayor bill de blasio seems to be in a pretty rough spot his attempt to sit in 2 chairs has got

a lot of other people standing up in anger he will mop and artsy new york. just moving on from that on a related theme the u.s. has seen another record surge in corona virus infections for more than 66000 registered in a single day florida alone so over 15000 new cases on sunday biggest single day increase for the states and for any state in fact since the start of the pandemic in fact if florida were a country it's caseload would rank 4th in the world despite those numbers the disney world theme park in orlando is welcoming visitors schools in florida are also being ordered to reopen next month the state's no taken the lead in one day record infection rates which was previously said to new york in april russian emergency doctor working in new york city told us of the unprecedented seal of the crisis which helped with the. now you might know that many of my

colleagues including those who were here during the 911 attacks and doing the h one n one epidemic were surprised by the situation with the cooler the virus it was unprecedented even for them honestly in february i thought that it would be an asian thing that would never reach us or that if it did reach us there would be sporadic outbreaks but that it wouldn't really be our problem as well towards the end of february started to understand that something bad was happening there wasn't any testing but more and more cases were appearing clearly in a city like new york situation wasn't going to end well in terms of mass transmission as we didn't have preventive measures in place in new york we had about a 1000 intensive care beds per 8000000 people and when in march the number of seriously ill patients began increasing rapidly we realized we wouldn't have enough beds there were also only enough ventilators in the hospital to meet our needs for 2

weeks and if we hadn't received help even before we reached the peak we wouldn't have been able to cope with the situation we started the pandemic with a shortage of tests at that point about 70 percent of tests in new york were coming back positive only people who almost certainly had the virus were being tested by the show and i got me to fill of course 50 or more that you take this very much so much strain on the healthcare system and a large number of registered covert 1000 cases and deaths all the statistics making it look worse than it is or as the country really been hit particularly hard as i do. support and i'm so i've been discussing this with friends and colleagues and no one can really understand it our health care system is not capable of dealing with big shocks the virus itself according to all indications has a case fatality rate of about one percent so it shouldn't be a big deal one person out of $100.00 will die and a few more out of $100.00 will be badly ill. so how can such

a rich medically advanced country like the united states be brought to its knees by such a disease we still don't understand what to do next we are stuck with quarantine and we are afraid to lift it and rightly so because we're aware that our health care system which is able to cure some unimaginable illnesses is not capable of dealing with this epidemic. let's bring it to asia where almost a 100 american troops at 3 bases on the japanese island of okinawa have tested positive for corona virus over the past few days it's the prefectures low infection rates soaring by 60 percent and inflamed longstanding local resentment at the large u.s. military contingent there at the bases are now locked and we believe island leaders are demanding answers from the pentagon about what it plans to do next as the citizens of the okinawa perfect are worked together to prevent infection is extremely regrettable a large number of u.s.

military personnel were in fact in a short period of time it should be pointed out that the figures were disclosed only after repeated requests from the authorities there are approximately 30000 american military personnel stationed in okinawa rigorous contact tracing has so far kept the number of known civilian infections 159 the governor is urging the pentagon to increase preventive measures to stop sending new personnel to okinawa. the u.s. military did inform the authorities of the exact numbers but insisted they should be not publicly released the u.s. defense secretary said march that the pentagon would stop publishing precise details of code infections within the military to avoid revealing weaknesses to america's 1st series oaken our president and activist cimi ag believes the u.s. should have let the public know earlier. excuse me important still.

these let us know that all we need to meet you. it's a secret. and now it's me you leave. now to east and our future but our ally. the polish president has secured another term following this 2nd round of a tight run election. results are now in conservative 100 duda took 51.2 percent of the ballots inching ahead of his liberal opponent former warsaw due to her has been behind poland's controversial judicial reforms while his strong opposition to abortion on gay rights has made him a polarizing figure but the government's popular well 1st scheme has help sway

voters it's been a closely followed campaign too especially by neighboring countries and one of them germany has been accused of being perhaps a little too influential. whenever this talk of election interference it never usually takes long for the conversation to tend towards russian sources however in poland they moved away from that standard stereotype with the foreign ministry in warsaw claiming that german media is trying to influence polling in poland the polish president dude has accused the german polish language newspaper the fact of publishing false claims about him when it comes to presidential pardons the case concerned only a restraining the other punishments were long served the application was supported by polish courts fact is owned by german publishing giant axel splaying the polish president and his team it's. that german media giant is trying to choose who holds

poland's top job next year and the german he wants to choose poland's president is something i can't agree too many years achievements and we do not want this kind of foreign intervention in the electoral process well and does not interfere in the electoral process in germany. another publication developed has come under fire from the polish president he's not happy with how the newspapers reporters have betrayed him. recently you could read the devote newspapers walsall correspondent reports that mr trask oh so you would be a better president for germany because he was against poland taking reparations from the germans. any suggestion of being involved in attempts to influence elections in poland or anywhere else was swiftly shut down by anglo-american spokes person. of course the german government has no influence on the presidential election of our polish neighbors nor does it have any influence on the work of

reporters here in germany as well as german reporters working abroad they do their job under press freedom with things already tight income they. may well be looking for someone to blame ahead of time peter all over r.t. . to another headline stories more than 60 years of mystery surrounding the deaths of 9 hikers in russia as your own mind may finally have been solved the so-called deal of power since event in 1959 led to theories ranging from u.f.o. involvement to military experiments down the hawkins has mourinho the deaths might no finally be explained. mind bodies horrific injuries over 70 theories and 60 years on no certain answers or closure until now the chilling mystery of what happened in the data of past has fascinated the world for decades inspiring books films and speculation what happened in february 959 in the place

local tribes call the mountain of the dead. the group never made contact again the rescuers arrive the scene before their eyes would hold many for years to come the hike is tents abandoned and damaged torn open from the inside bodies scattered along the slope leading to a wooded area one and a half kilometers away some fairly close others with skull fractures and major trauma one with tongue and part of the lips missing it took months to find all the

victims below layers of snow it was clear from the outset this would be no ordinary investigation the original probe failed to find a conclusive answer as to what happened aside from a compelling natural force as the cause and over the years speculation mounted. 'd scientists had been in the area of missile pods fell nearby sparking panic. and these would could well have been sustained while they were defending themselves from the. unlikely as tribes leave arion winter. to. live tend to all be flying objects.

in 2019 investigative committee of russia reopen the case investigators return to the scene meticulously reexamining all evidence now they finally have an answer as the young hikers sleep when avalanche begins on the mountain slope realizing the danger the group quickly leave the tent heading down the slope to find shelter near the rocks below but this decision was fatal according to investigators once the group thought the danger had passed they decided to return to the tent but by then visibility was down to around 60 meters they'd already walked 50 meters away unable to find a tent they descended further to the forest trying to stay warm but with temperatures falling to minus 40 and weather worsening they had no chance one by one they succumbed to the freezing cold as they tried to return up the mountain to find shelter. called tourist thinks that 3 died of hypothermia the probe analysis and

assimilation was carried out in the seventy's and eighty's not in 1959 now we have these studies analysis of each injury the overall conclusion is this all bodily injuries of the don't love group correspond to getting caught in an avalanche hypothermia claimed the lives of 6 with 3 being killed by severe trauma what caused their deaths investigators have now ruled out foul play saying a later 2nd avalanche is the only explanation for such terrible injuries general rules apply as follows at the place of application of force because bone the formation to. defamation takes place here but if we take a ball and creates a load around it covering it like that and pushing it from above then the damage will not be at the point of obligation of force but from the reverse and here they are on the reverse side for all of them for all 3. officially the death of paulus

incident has gone from cold case to case closed with investigators providing better explanation of the reexamining all evidence they hope there aren't as of the final chapter in an enigma which has fascinated so many for decades but like any mystery will it be enough to convince the skeptics who have other theories. as daniel was saying maybe case closed for the investigators but one group of hard. thing the truth is still out there for more on that story and head over to r.t. . germany has officially requested the use of the e.u. xnews cyber sanctions against the list of russian individuals berlin accuses them of hocking bundestag computers 5 years ago germany's opposition left party has criticized the move pointing to the lack of evidence of russian involvement the

2015 left german parliament computers including those an angler merkel's office infected with spyware 16 gigabytes of data of e-mails were stolen making at the largest ever cyber attack against the. chancellor merkel has claimed there is hard evidence that russian intelligence was behind the breach. of the russian embassy in berlin strongly denied the accusations adding that moscow's offer to cooperate with berlin. let's go live now to a 100 is european the 1st policy spokesman for germany's left party very well come the german government wants the e.u. to apply these new cyber sanctions against russian individuals for the bendish that hack under has any real evidence being provided to suggest russian state involvement or oh it's not clear we don't have so far clear

evidence on this we can believe it or not. and the problem is we have no this new site. to book so-called this is a new mechanism although you wouldn't know. which could include sanctions and for the 1st time since this new toolbox was introduced some years ago it's not the 1st the 1st for it to. bring this into the power of. european union. structure or for a response including sanctions so this is a new new saying and. what. i realize that the german government is saying they have. proof of this but it's not clear and it's very very complicated to prove in these digital we're going to

be as well you know that traces kind of remind you that this is to say the least can be late by those who maybe caused by. the attacks so. i'm very careful if you go to sanctions and put all of those who were going you will know and for these kinds of understandable. reasons you say nice pretty black in may russia said it was ready to cooperate in the investigation into the attacks but germany and partly showed no interest is that a sign of current relations and perhaps an expected response or rather a missed opportunity here. well i don't know all of the. first and talks between germany and russia. you know there were some years ago a german germany suspended by another on the side of don't aisha's russia is this

for a may. it really exists then german government must explain why it didn't accept it. because i think this is a better way if you will fight. iran to come and talking. to a common working groups to solve these problems instead of having a news section wrong is the title of this perhaps an interest because in june germany accused russia of the berlin park assassination is it a coincidence that these 2 cases are essentially being brought up at the same time month the month the spike the computer attack happened 5 years ago yes i think that that's not of. not not just something that this entirely talks what we. the problem is this is the same with

a kid. we can delete. or government says but not very clear proof. and the problem here is most of these informations are. given to the public through preferential. media something special drawing of a sudden we get information out of the government and they can then. bring it to the public. and. it's not really hard to say it's not really a real clear. debate about this and all of the. prove that we can everybody can see ok that that's clear so. i think this is these 2 things are fine and maybe it's as well with the. european council some weeks before maybe this is.

linked to this situation another issue when it comes to bilateral relations andre of course is the one string to just a couple of days ago denmark gave its approval for resuming the construction of that gas pipeline in its territorial waters could these threats of sanctions in any way undermine that project at such a late stage. i'm not sure i don't think so. the main problem here. not 3 to let me and probably one of the extraordinary story of sanctions by the u.s. and german government. is rejecting these. extraterritorial sanctions by the u.s. consulate in austria to. i'm not sure if it could be but. i think.

the letters are a. cooperation on the cast on gas pipelines. always existed always were never will despite the fact of the other and on other things i think both sides russia and german government trying to cool down an 8 to finish the north into. just their final and the cyber sanctions being spoken to by to be utilized perhaps for the 1st time i guess moscow do you think the e.u. will give the nod the go ahead for those to be approved in this regard. why i don't harcourt i don't know all the debate in this especially working groups. but it seems that. the answer to my questioning the government said there is

something like there is still a debate the process is going on so that means that not all your been union member states clearly did favor of having these sanctions this method mechanism works like one state. makes an assertion and the other states say just follow and. in the end everybody has to do agree and i'm not sure if it. is all member states are following this. or understeer i really don't know. but of course germany now has a presidency johnny has some strong members and they all are there could be a lot of pressure on the other member states but i hope that not all at most it will follow this new sanction mechanism and all the others are headed out in the

program thank you for your time under a hunk of european affairs policy spokesman for germany's opposition left party thank you. a reminder for all up to the minute steve elements this monday artie's twitter page tells you covered well worth some of your scrolling time today see you at the top but before lots more great programs. i know no crowd. no shots. actually felt. a strong note the 1st. points your thirst for action.
