it was unprecedented even for them. also ahead this. poland's conservative president normally secures another term for a closely fought race. germany has been exerting influence on voters. no. secret tests investigators say they have a stop. mysteriously died in russia. more than 60 years ago. are tuning in from right across the globe this hour welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know me good to have your company. new video has emerged showing a us police officer restraining a black man by kneeling on his neck in

a chilling echo of the george floyd killing the latest incident happened in allentown pennsylvania on saturday evening investigation is under way 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 announcing his name. get off. their video has gone viral author appearing on twitter it shows the reverse norio with a protester in new york attempting to put a police officer in a headlock the footage has sparked outrage among police unions on the probe. and the officers now say of a fear for their safety bloomberg lives moderate movement has grown in support of law enforcement the group rallied in new york over the weekend tempers flared as

black lives matter activists confronted him officers used tasers made several arrests. was who was was was was was was was was was. was was was glimmer of new york. large scale public offense for 3 months citing the high risk of spreading covert only to then the law blocked lives matter rallies to take place up and looks at the questions being asked about why an 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 in 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 a spike in coronavirus cases could follow but that didn't really happen but 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 coded 19 should be discouraged not encouraged to protest they even point to the 1st amendment let me get this right mayor de 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. 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 is and 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 he did this because he hates surprise when he did it out of spite but 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 but i think it's a joke it's beautiful but he's trying to play both sides to everything it won't pass no reforms or nothing this is like can this distraction oh that is a joke it doesn't help because it doesn't help because our 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 archie new york. you know this they stay outside because the u.s. has seen another record surge in corona virus infections with more than 66000 registered in a single day florida alone so over 15000 new cases on sunday that's the biggest single day increase for any state since the start of the pun time again fucked if florida where a country it's caseload would rank 4th in the world the spike those numbers the disney world theme park in orlando is welcoming visitors schools in florida are also being ordered to reopen next will be sunshine state snow taken the lead in one day record infection rates which was previously set in new york in april a russian emergency doctor working in new york city told us about the 0 precedented scale of the crisis which health workers have been facing. a good light. i 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 corona 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 sharon angle. of course 50 or more that you take this but not so much strain on the healthcare system and a large number of registered coded 1000 cases and deaths all the statistics making it look worse than it is or has the country really been hit particularly hard as i do i've heard of them as supporting them 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. united states be brought to its knees by

such a disease we still don't quite understand what to do next we are stuck in 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. well let's keep on the covert theme because almost a 100 american troops or 3 bases on the japanese island of okinawa have tested positive 'd for corona virus over the past number of days it's the prefectures low infection rate really soaring 60 percent and inflamed longstanding local resentment at the large u.s. military contingent the bases we believe are now locked on island leaders are demanding answers from the pentagon about what it plans to do next. as the citizens of the all can have a perfect your work together to prevent infection it is extremely regrettable that a large number of u.s. military personnel were infected in

a short period of time yet 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 150 the governor is now urging the pentagon to increase preventive measures and to stop sending new personnel to okinawa. the u.s. military did inform the okinawa authorities of the exact numbers but insisted they should not be publicly released the u.s. defense secretary said in march that the pentagon would stop publishing precise details of covert infections within the military to avoid revealing weaknesses to america's adversaries oaken our resident activist cimi aggy believes the us should have let the public know were. extremely important.

these let us know and always do the meet use it secret our only land now it's. our land we liked to leave and now to the state our future but our ally. didn't. celebrations for the polish president who secured another term following the 2nd round of a tight rather election. i. you can hear the chants conservative andree taking 51.2 percent of the ballots inching ahead of the liberal poland the murder of warsaw due to her has been behind poland's controversial judicial reforms while his strong opposition to abortion and gay rights in a poor rising figure but the government's popular well for

a scheme hers health swathe of voters it's been a closely followed campaign too especially by neighboring countries one of them germany has been accused of being perhaps a little too influential. whenever there's talk of election interference it never usually takes long for the conversation to 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 and they do that 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 order other punishments were long served the application was supported by polish courts fact is owned by german publishing giant axel spraying the polish president and his team say the german media giant is trying to choose

who holds poland's top job next year to germany was to choose poland's president is something a concert agreed to in many years achievements and we do not want this kind of foreign intervention in the electoral process quillan 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 has 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 president any suggestion of being involved in attempts to influence elections in poland or 'd anywhere else was swiftly shut down by anglo-american spokes person to be given names 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 it's things in the tight income they don't do they do may well be looking for someone to blame ahead of time peter all of the early. ok to another story that's got a lot of people talking today more than 60 years of mystery surrounding the deaths of 9 hikers in russia's ural mountains may finally have been solved the so-called d.s.l. of power since the end in $1059.00 led to theories ranging from u.f.o. involvement to military experiments hawkins has more on how the group's debts might finally be explained. mind bodies or if it came juries 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 rescuers arrive the scene before their eyes would hold many for years to come the hike is tents abandoned and damaged torn open from 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 now 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. ringback scientists had been in the area of missile pods will nearby sparking panic. and these wounds could well have been sustained while they were defending themselves from the thick. unlikely as tribes leave area in winter. but you. 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 dame's had passed they decided to return to the tent but by then visibility was down to around 60 meters it 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. 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 debt 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 later 2nd of all arts is the only explanation for such terrible injuries both general rules apply as follows at the place of application of force because boned a formation to. definition takes place here but if we take a ball and create 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 fall 3. officially the death of pass

incident has gone from cold case to case closed with investigators providing better explanation of the reexamining all evidence they hope their answers are 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. here just on that last point by daniel it may be case closed for the investigators but one group of hardened amateur sleuths are insisting the truth is there for more on this story to r.t. dr. a spanish judge has ruled out a lockdown order in catalonia confining $160000.00 people to their homes is illegal but castle and president toure has vowed to defy the ruling and go ahead with the plan to prevent the spread of coronavirus which was money 1st i was going to let us know what we do not agree with this decision we will not accept it and i

will freeze the consequences of this refusal because i cannot put the health of people in danger or anywhere else in catalonia. tough restrictions were imposed in the city of leeds earlier this month after a spike in code 19 cases the area has been largely sealed off with police checkpoints and police residents have also been ordered to stay at home unless they are essential workers or need to visit a doctor or buy groceries but this polish court ruled that the home confinement order went too far did not go through the proper channels to lummi accounts for one quarter of coronavirus cases in spain and is the 2nd worst hit region in the country to the scots more or less cross live to. r.k. is spokesperson for the european partnership for independence of a good to see you on the program just 1st of all maybe a brief overview of your region because the number of covert 1000 cases in

catalonia it's been rising in recent days why has it been hits harder than than most other regions of spain. good evening and well actually i don't think that. would be a question that everybody would like to listen for the scientific sendak have mixed and fortunately and 15 provinces now in the spanish state reach. new outbreak ran it in the most prudent probably just to wait for the expos to understand why use this happening again or door or. we are very conscious that when we do need to do our own or the companies or factories to be provided with all the material in the quick man.

to how. to secure and. to protect if and measures and that is what we need to. to be doing at the moment the leader of the region torah said he will defy the court ruling by madrid will that not just lead to mass confusion among the catalan public with the rest of the country essentially following one set of protocols and do the opposite. well not really because the case is not it's not the 1st time these is happening i don't know we already had. a nice relation out of of some cities before it hit the issue here is not. the president over man is defying the spanish state because as they said today they do have the power and the competence to do so he always the. spain few years to have

a catalogue nya to see the seam that catalonia can rule today on territory we are always constant conflict between and nationality national identity and national territory so and between that and i did mention of but only on the nation of spain and this is the. this is the issue of the end of the program that's the point that's the point what i what i want to bring in on a because the judges ruled that the cattle unlocked and went too far did not go through the right channels could this problem simply have been avoided if catalonia had asked the central government at least the scuffs that with them. no not really because this really happened when the big focus of contagion as of 19 was meant to read and then everybody asked. to have man 3 days later he went in. catalonia did this. decide he has even managed to organize

a manifesto in which hundreds of thousands of signatures. demanding. to isolate catalonia seemed meant read was not responding was to all claims and was was behavior as always. you're responsible manner so between all these all these. all these different directions politicians are taking. what we see. and goldman to all being a catalyst mandate and out there one that says to apply. independence day and war and the president taught in an official referendum a non-self repeated at elections that is why we have an absolute majority of independent 2 seats in our parliament thank you for your thoughts. and spokesperson

a tarion regimes where everything there did not conform to the ideology of the regime was a recognized as the general sick and required sterilization correction isolation expulsion or liquidation just as when slaves who try to escape from slavery were labelled as psychiatric addicts there chose what chopped off as punishment or pawlenty was given political asylum here in france back in 2017 after many brushes with the law in russia for his provocative stunts that were labeled many times by the west as being misunderstood or great things because he was standing up against something that he disagreed with and now many are finding that he's in their own backyard he's just a little bit too hot to handle let's have a look back at some of the stunts that public has pulled.

russia it's sometimes difficult to be and. yes especially for one makes a political declaration out of his art that's the case or for that probably and we already know and he's just been arrested for setting the door of the former k.g.b. building on fire well since his arrival in france he has clashed with the law many times most recently after he did. so many videos of a sexual nature of a close ally of president who was at one time in the race to be the mayor of power

a mess but benjamin cleaver stood down when those videos came to light the time politicians in france demanded that be sent back to russia. get this guy out he's a political refugee he behaves like the 1st thing to do would be to put him on a plane straight to russia and he will see with mr putin if you can do this kind of . if you did you feel casting certain videos without the consent of the author or subject to criminal sanctions in our country resulting in a substantial fine and 2 years imprisonment and these offenses must obviously be prosecuted it is a matter of respect for democratic rules now this is not the 1st time that pawlenty ski has had mandated psychiatric help put upon him he did spend some time in a facility in russia after one of his stunts but now he has until july 15th when stay here in france to prove that he has undertaken this help mandated by the
