tuesday morning 14th of july in the headlines the sunshine state becomes america's covert hotspot as florida records more infections than all but 8 countries around the world and anger is increasingly enter the government the governor over it. hey we're. going to get you i. think they. got the. british government's accused of selling spy work for more than a dozen countries with questionable human rights records and it's been doing so for years apparently. to the mixed messages that have got the english public scratching their heads over wearing masks will be mandatory in shops from next week despite contradictory comments from the government so we discussed whether it is time to

force people to cover up. i don't think that it should be compulsory especially when the evidence is not particularly strong the united kingdom has got a lot of debts we need to bring this down we don't want a single big strike that we need to do everything we can. good morning from russia live from the outside world news center of moscow and kevin 0 in with this hour's headlines and more details the 1st florida is taking on the mantle of the united states coronavirus reds of new infections broke national daily records over the weekend they did dip a little on monday but still top 12000 florida that now has more infections than all but 8 countries in the world and it seemed the state governor heckled at the news conference in miami over his handling of the outbreak. but you know what you

are. ok you are going. to get every day you got paid like 0000 and promote economic you know public florida's kovac numbers continue to surge demand for kovan 1000 tests has been so high there's been numerous reports of people waiting for hours in line stretching at least a mile long and test results in some cases taking several weeks in miami dade county where the number of cases is now close to 68000 the highest in florida one in 3 people who reportedly took over 1000 last week tested positive the census has argued that local municipalities and not the state should decide for themselves if stricter levels of protection are needed adding to the debate and consternation about florida's kovan surge disney world reopened some of its parks in orlando over the weekend raising concerns of the place where dreams come true who quickly descended to a nightmare and stand as guest don their mickey mouse ears and face masks despite

the trump administration insisting that the show will go on and there are now serious concerns being raised among g.o.p. officials about whether the republican national convention will go on to ask edgel it in august in jacksonville or whether or not it will shift to an entirely virtual event instead for our t.v. john honey. meantime rescuing back to the colorist from a pandemic acing calls for the old for rich to be hit with taxes and those calls are coming from millionaires themselves dozens of song and open letters saying they should be digging deep ellum open next this morning and look at how some of the world's wealthiest helping out. being wealthy is certainly something that makes you attractive the american media and what makes the rich even sexier is when they have a social conscience and they donate and spend their money based on good causes well 83 international multi-millionaires are taking a stand amid 1000 crisis they signed

a letter calling for. special welfare tax on rich people like themselves amid the crisis it's code $900.00 strides the world millionaires like us have a critical role to play in healing our world no we're not the ones caring for the sick in intensive care words today we the undersigned millionaires ask our government to raise taxes on people like us immediately substantially permanently now some of the billionaires who made out the best during the pandemic didn't even bother to sign this letter jeff bezos has seen a huge rise in his profits despite the fact that there is increasing allegations about unsafe conditions at amazon a lawsuit has even been filed alleging that the company's leave policy and its inadequate contact tracing of workers who've been infected has put us all at risk. the largest corporation the world has been profiting over the coffee 1000 crisis while living its work is unprotected and traces of getting sick and they've been

dying amazon maintains that it does have adequate policies in place and jeff bezos has donated over $100000000.00 to food banks during the crisis however that represents only roughly point one percent of his estimated fortune another billionaire in line musk has just become wealthier than warren buffett now alon must from the beginning has been vehemently opposed to closing down the tesla plant over the virus some employees have even come forward to say they were fired for staying home from work over coded 19 fears even though alarm musk said that they could now tesla has denied these allegations sure seen the super rich talk about safety code at 19 and shared sacrifice is great but it sure would be nice if these concerns trickle down to their employees who keep their profits rolling in it will come up and arch in new york. it's been claimed that for the past 5 years the

british government has been selling security goods like wiretap spy were another interception equipment to more than a dozen countries ever consider this repressive regimes reporting from westminster than on the average bashed into being. the british government has a reputation for prioritizing profits over human rights this time it's been revealed that the united kingdom has sold millions of pounds worth of interception equipment to dozens of countries worldwide the present itself even if users are oppressive now there are calls for the government to explain itself yet again the government needs to show how those risks were assessed in this case and how this equipment was ultimately used the exports include wiretaps spyware and other telecommunication interception equipment that could be used to spy on so-called dissidents and it doesn't come cheap in fact the u.k. has signed off more than 75000000 pounds worth of good to have to list of countries the u.k. even appears to be breaching its own rules here as the u.k.

has banned the so security codes to countries that might use them for internal repression and among the list of countries even the u.k. itself has accused of human rights violations including saudi arabia the u.a.e. and china. make good on the page bringing to force the united kingdom's 1st thomas human rights sanctions regime which gives us the power to impose sanctions on the on those involved in the very worst human rights abuses right around the world.

one of the days try to again tell the truth to the interrogators their reaction was to make me stand today what. did you feel that you were being told she's. a psychologist. the people of hong kong do support. speak up to. every inch. even though many countries on the list are officially rated not free the government claims that any export licenses the issues are in accordance with the highest and strict criteria but many human rights groups are simply not buying it it's not clear what the issues are making any effort to track the equipment is used in 12 or 3 years' time these figures yet

another reminder of why we need a complete overhaul of the case for healing and security equipment export control system comes as the united kingdom pastors you know saudi arabia that could be used in the yemen conflict manmade humanitarian crisis in the world according to the united nations and it breakthrough moment just over a year ago the court of appeal ruled that the arms trade was unlawful because the government had not had to quickly address the risk of civilian casualties in these bombing missions but the government simply says that they were just isolated incidents and are now upping the ante the government will now begin the process of clearing the backlog of license implications for saudi arabia and its coalition partners that has built up since 20 as of june last year considering the u.k. sold 15000000000 pounds worth of bombs to the gulf kingdom in the past 5 years it seems that the profits britain breakin over weapons and now intercepts of equipment are too great to give even at the cost of human lives to.

wearing masks in shops and supermarkets are going to be compulsory from july the 24th people who don't cover up. fine but not everyone's clear on what they should be doing still progress. as johnson's government is accused of lacking clarity over it for a start mr michael gove previously described wearing masks in shops and showing good manners there just a few days ago said he didn't think it would become mandatory public opinion on whether or not it is the right thing to do is still proving divisive as we discussed with infectious disease expert. and journalist fraser myers from spiked online. you know people have got the message somehow that they are. against the disease or they protect other people the the evidence is actually quite weak around this certainly what the government has published whilst the masks may not be 100 percent protective we have to take this from 1st principles so the infecting dose

comes from drug blitz released from somebodies mouths if they are infectious and when you cannot avoid it you're a social distancing from there and you have to have an additional mitigating measure now i have no problem with people wearing masks i wear a mask myself sometimes but i don't think that it should be compulsory is specially when the evidence is not particularly strong we need to have a strong messages and the united kingdom has got a lot of debts we need to bring this down we don't want a single extra debt we need to do everything we can encouraging this good compulsion is. i think that you know it may not seem like much to have to wear masks that we have to remember that this comes in addition to all of the other infringements on our civil liberties that people have experienced over the past few months there's never been so much you know reduction in freedoms ever in any

democrats you either measure it on the scales with your civil liberties or do you wish to continue to have the number of cases and number of deaths which one would you rather have the case numbers have come down not because the viruses. on holiday but because of the lockdown measures we took so come on think about it you are in a private train cheek by jowl across the proximity within 6 inches sometimes 18 just a foot of each other you need to wear a mask yes let's have mask wearing in confined spaces but not in general not for all shots not so every time you leave the house or every time you want to go into a building. the argument goes on to folk to big events to france is celebrating its hello from society as national day this july the 14th bastille day is usually marwood showcase event for the military parade but it's hard to scale back this year because of the some risk of spreading coronaviruses go lived. there always

a big day for the french but a lot watching from home this year than what's on the menu. well this will be about still a day like no other that francis see normally we get this huge parade of military might down the seans ailey's a really is as you can see from previous is a feast for the eyes it is europe's normally oldest and largest military display with the a soldier's the army the navy taking center stage. was . a very

different national holiday this 2020 with the backdrop of the 19 pandemic it's going to be a static ceremony with will take place plastered a concorde and instead of the thousands and thousands of normal guests that are usually in. if i did it will be a core section in the audience of health workers instead some $1600.00 they've been invited along to pay tribute to them for the work that they've been doing during these difficult times now this year's best day comes against a very difficult political backdrop we have seen protests called for today protests against president mack on and also against his government many of those who called by health workers who for months and months have been demanding higher wages been looking for more stuff to be able crew did and a massive injection in cash into the health system itself and that follows weeks of demonstrations.

i. 'd well there has been a review of the health system taking place and that's been fraught with tough negotiations between unions and the government but on monday a deal was finally greenlit by the unions and signed it means that there will be some $8000000000.00 euros for increasing salaries of health workers to give you an example of what that's going to mean for a hospital nurse it will be around $218.00 euro's a month net for hospital dr that will be about $256.00 euros in net so that means off the tax off the all social contributions have been taken out they will see that

money in their pocket much corn has hailed the deal. i was committed. in san luis we have just done it's the careers and salaries of our health workers who gave so much during the crisis have been a evaluate each. another thing that's going to be slightly unusual this bastille day is the fact that maclin is due to give an address to the country he's refused to do that in previous years gone by but some say this is an attempt by him to gain brownie points to maybe shave away that aloof image that has dogged him throughout his presidency and it comes as he's in a bit of a tight spot not only have opinion polls showing that he's a bit down in the dumps in regards to those but he's also seen members of his own party on the move not only defect or other parties but also move way in create their own parties so it's been

a very difficult time for him and that of course comes on top of the fact that france is expected. to go into its worst recession since world war 2 thousands and thousands of jobs expected to be culled in fact we've already had many announcements like the thousands of jobs that have to go in airbus one of the key sectors here in france the government has pledged to minimize the economic impact of 19 but the reality is nobody knows quite how deep and how widespread the economic impact will be and it seems that for the next 2 years of my aunt's presidency as he does intend to continue with controversial reforms such as the pension reform they could be even more explosive than the 1st 3 years and that would be saying something. from paris big from some people posted later they're talking about in the world leaders want to be a world leader of the world there's not a day to be wasted for america's presidential candidates to win over the hearts and

minds of voters while donald trump's up against it with his own look at the health crisis his democratic rival joe biden is mobilizing his family is so skewed toller explains. you'll remember joe biden's wife don't you. should very. very. well jill's back this time not as a husband's sister but as comal thought over a children's book about joe's life which also means 78 years fills a full 27 pages well i gave it a read obviously the reviews in joey that's what they all cool to have ready sounds like a be around good guy a wizardly ability to catch a ball just words not mine standing up to bullies president of his freshman class really his only weakness and he himself admits it is talking was sometimes really

difficult but you know what i think we can all agree he grew out of that let's not even bring it up. you were recovered. from the beginning it's clear that joe was really close with his parents and his siblings he often said quote the absolute most important thing is your family but did he also fought for the defense of marriage act back in the ninety's you know the one that said that a marriage is only between a man and a woman and that really became the reason that many same sex married couples never got the same rights all the same privileges as petra sexual couples where is the opposite actually oh you know what never mind because it's since been brought up by john ellis and joe gave a really convincing defense in 1906 you voted for the defense of marriage act. and a lovely person i am then there are a couple of pages about his college is where they are quote he spent one summer as

the only white lifeguard at a pool and in black neighborhood the reward thing to point out isn't it well but barely it was then that joe learned foster about the struggles. of black america you know i wonder if it was so in those years that he comes he decided he wasn't big on the whole integration of races in schools saying that the fun controlled they could cause real problems unless we do something about this my children are going to grow up in a jungle the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions bills are high that is going to explode at some point but when he does that mocks up he did it off to roll defender of black pos mate when he was refused service in a joint hit they off he thinks this is what really counts not using your power as a u.s. senate such trial and segregation possibly the biggest racial injustice in modern history anyway moving on hold up his a a cute picture of him with the little guy commuting to washington while some things

never change. as a politician joe wanted to quote make people's lives better you know i think that's what the real motivation was behind his backing of the iraq invasion saddam is dangerous the world would be a better place without him and of course the welfare of nippy as was at the food front of his mind when he said a ok to bombing not homeland can give the people of libya for a 1st chance in 4 decades to actually put together their own government have a little bit of freedom up to but hung on not chop dismissiveness whoa how strange oh but this is my favorite my favorite part of the entire book and it's this treasure trove of uncle joe's most famous catchphrases so called fighting as i

say you can be inspired to go around saying things like your kids are just as bernie just as challenge work use hot ones not here well how about. we choose truth over facts also not included ok well but definitely you cannot go through a little what really are going to worship of what you do next know they possible not want to swallow ok final chance this what your lying dog for his pony shows you know well maybe that keeping it for the sequel which fingers crossed will face off in the new york times bestseller list of fiction with the book written by men narnia trump telling a story of a young tony who only have a drug but of reaching out and tearing down walls. so this could settle a verb coming up on our to internationalise warning from moscow spain this restive

cuts alone in a region again of old sort of madrid this time through forcing local law firms to control the covert close to over a cup of outbreaks again the couple only there is pressing on the spy the judge ruling it's illegal so another spot brewed will tell you about it. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

again morning spain's catalonia region is in legal trouble with madrid as mentioned going into the break there are for imposing local 160000 households because of a covert spike the judge says it wasn't handled properly but the cattle and president's team torah is vowing anyway to defy the ruling and go ahead to prevent

corona virus from spreading further. there's money for is not going to let us know what we do not agree with this decision we will not accept it i will face the consequences of this refusal because i cannot put the health of people in danger or anywhere else in catalonia. so tough restrictions were imposed earlier this month the area's been largely sealed off with police checkpoints in place residents have also been ordered to stay at home in unless they're essential workers or need to visit a doctor or buy groceries in spanish court though ruled that the home confinement order was disproportionate into did not go through the proper channels have learned accounts for a quarter of spain's coronavirus cases and is the country's 2nd worst hit region but the catalan spokes person for the european partnership for independence believes that just like everywhere else catalonia is simply trying to do its best to contain the virus. it's not the 1st time. happening until now

we already had. this before and the issue here is not if. the president man is defying the spanish state because they said today they do have the power and the competence to do so he always the issue spin for years to seem that catalonia kind of ruled the yawn territory so it's a question of saving lives is what we're talking about here and. all of the different governments are trying to to do to to find a bear's way to stop by. before the health crisis stop of course were those of us in our trucks the global fight against pollution was gathering steam and it was derailed by the pandemic commitments to tackle plastic waste to especially be put on hold for probably takes a look at how big firms have made a quick buck go over it and

a chance to to shelve some of their environmental responsibilities they've been talking about before. guess who saw the global plans and was. highly corporations they've been lobbying governments getting the government funded bailouts and that relief and most importantly chipping away at least environmental legislation in the us an economic emergency was declared and an executive order signed allowing the destructions of new mines fly and. fossil fuel and infrastructure projects the big polluters how loved it just had to beg for example plastics preparing they have been thinking this ourselves now. in another some us states. even post that bans on plastic surgery has the u.k.

over it china and he started a new post courier economy by issuing permits for brand new called our power stations. brazil's environment minister ricardo satirists actually called the only government to push through some of the deregulation of the environment well people are distracted and the global pandemic and that is the overarching he. has given everyone and now from paying your mortgage i know that from prison now for things went south now for working living i mean you says it is like the good old days. the boys are up without both when things looking from international news from so far this choose the reporting from moscow 70 in slinky for taking the time to watch and wishing you a great day. you

cannot be with the you like.

this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss. in washington coming up global markets respond to positive rhona virus vaccine news the f.d.a. graham asked for status to pfizer and biotech and britain is pushing back against huawei but what does that mean for the country's future for 5 have a show today so let's go and dive right in. the united states top 3300000 coronavirus cases on monday the death toll exceeds 135000 what this means is that nearly one in 100 americans have now tested positive for the virus this comes as $32.00 states across the country saw an increase of covert $1000.00 cases of at least 10 percent.
