just a morning 14th of july in the headlines the british government's accused of selling spyware to more than a dozen countries with questionable human rights records has apparently been doing so for years. mixed messages that have got the english public scratching their heads over when wearing masks will be mandatory in shops from next week despite contradictory comments from the government coming up we discuss whether or not 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 us we need to bring this down we don't want to single extra that we need to do everything we can. meantime the sunshine state becomes america's covert hot

sport now is florida records more infections than all but 8 countries around the world with anger increasingly being aimed at the government. they were. to go out. every day and you got. a live from the world new center in moscow kevin with this hour's headlines for you more detail things company than so 1st it's been claimed that for the past 5 years the british government's been selling security goods like wiretaps spy work another interception equipment more than a dozen countries that are considered as repressive regimes reporting from westminster sharia edwards daschle. 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 that 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 wiretap spyware and other telecommunications 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 sell off 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 take the stand today. if you feel that you would be. psychologically.

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 are issues are in accordance with the highest and strict criteria but many human rights groups are simply not buying it it's not clear whether 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 root and branch of the whole case failing and security equipment export control system comes as the united kingdom prepares to resume the sale of arms to saudi arabia that could be used in the yemen conflict manmade humanitarian crisis in the world according to the united nations and a breakthrough moment just over

a year ago the court of appeal ruled that the arms trade was no 4 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.'s 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 intercept of equipment are too great to give up even at the cost of human lives to at what's. next stories focused on part of the u.k. as well wearing masks and shops were a mosque in shops rather supermarkets in england could be compulsory from july the 24th the. don't cover up risk a 100 pound fine but not everyone even at this stage is clear on what they should

exactly be doing prime minister boris johnson's accused of lacking clarity cabinet minister michael gove's previously described wearing masks in shops as showing good manners and then just a faint 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 proving divisive as we discussed with infectious disease expert. and journalist fraser myers from spiked online. oh people have got the message somehow that they are. against the disease or they protect other people 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 that in fact think comes from drug blitz released from somebodies mouths if they are infectious and when you cannot avoid your social distancing from them you have to have an additional mitigating measure

now i'd 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 a number of cases. number of the s which one would you like them out the case

numbers have come down not because the virus has gone on holiday but because of the lockdown measures we took so come on think about it you are a product trained cheek by jowl close proximity within 6 inches sometimes 8 inches a foot of each other you need to wear a mask yes let's have a mask wearing in confined spaces but not in general not for all shots not for every time you leave the house or every time you want to go in. florida is taking on the mantle of the united states corona virus red zone new infections broke national daily records over the weekend they did dip a little on monday but still top $12000.00 so looking at it another way florida now has more infections than or but 8 countries in the whole world and it seemed the state governor heckled at a news conference in miami of his handling of the outbreak. but you know what you are. ok you are going to get. every day you

got paid. for maybe you can make sure you know the topic 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 edge will it in august in jacksonville or whether or not it will shift to an entirely virtual event instead for our t.v. john hardy. well the pandemic is proving to be no obstacle for electioneering this not a day to be wasted for america's presidential candidates to win over the hearts and minds of voters while donald trump is up against it with his handling of the health crisis on the other side of it the democratic rival joe biden is mobilizing his family assess kotite or explains. you'll remember joe biden's wife knew her very. very. well jill's back this time not as a husband's sister but as cool thought over a children's book about joe's life which i'll tell my 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 jules was 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 to our own source. 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 didn't 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 petras 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 partly 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 it's going to explode at some point but when he does that mucks up he did it off to roll defender of black last

may when he was refused service in a joint hit they off you think this 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 here's 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 and was at the forefront of his mind when he said

a ok to bombing not homeland can give the people of libya for the 1st chance in 4 decades to actually put together their own government have a little bit of freedom the opportunity 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 biting 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 not all of these are not included ok well but definitely you cannot go through a little what are you going you don't know much of the story to do next no they possible not want to swallow ok final chance this what you're lying dog for his pony shows you know while maybe that keeping it for the sequel which fingers

crossed will face off in the new york times bestseller list of fiction with a book written by men on your trump telling a story of a young tony who only have a drug but of reaching out and tearing down walls. or possibly here mosco hi there on the way after the break spain's rest of catalonia reaches again it all with madrid this time through forcing local laws to control the code plus the latest pressing on despite it old spot a judge ruling it is a legal bill for the morning when the back.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

again france is celebrating its national day to day this july the 14th bastille day is usually monkhams showcase events and a military parade will have to be scaled back because this year because of the risk of spreading coronavirus sharded bensky reports next then from paris. well this will be about still day like no other that frances see normally we get this huge parade of military might down the seans elisa really is as you can see from previous she 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. 3

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 invited 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 is betty day comes against a very difficult political backdrop we have seen protests called for today protests against president that call and also against his government many of those who will buy health workers who for months and months have been demanding higher wages be looking for more stuff you created and a massive injection in cash into the health system itself and that follows weeks of

demonstrations. well there has been a review of the health system taking place and that's been fraught with tough negotiations between us 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 month net for hospital dr that will be about

$256.00 euros in net so that means after all tax off all social contributions have been taken out they will see that money in their pocket my corn has hailed the deal . i was committed to reevaluate in salaries we have just done it's the careers and salaries of our health workers who gave so much during the crisis have been the evaluate each also what will be different this best day for president mackarness fact he's going to give a presidential address something he's refused to do in years gone by many say that this is an attempt by him to gain some brownie points. difficult opinion polls that have shown him sort of trailing away in those for many months and it also comes as front says facing a recession that many have likened to being the worst since the end of what will toward 2 we know thousands and thousands of jobs are expected to be culled now the

government has pledged to try and minimize the impact of the covert 19 pandemic and as a result of that it has created stimulus packages of billions and billions of euros but the reality is nobody knows just how wide and how deep this economic recession could be a many is saying that as maclin is. pledging to plow ahead with quantrill herschel reforms such as the pension reform the next 2 years of his presidency could be even more explosive than the 1st 3 years and that would be saying something. spain's couple only regions in legal trouble with madrid again after imposing local law on $160000.00 households because of a covert spike a judge says it wasn't handled properly but the council on presidents vying to defy the ruling and go ahead anyway to prevent corona virus from spreading further there's money for some is going up what we do not agree with this decision we will not accept it but i will freeze the consequences of this refusal because i cannot

put the health of people in danger or anywhere else in catalonia. well tough restrictions were imposed their earlier this month the area has been largely sealed off with police checkpoints in place residents have also been ordered to stay at home unless they're essential workers or need a visit to a doctor or buy groceries a spanish call the rule that the home confinement order was disproportionate and did not go through the proper channels local residents are unsure of which decision is right. i think the council and government is right because there's a lack of control when it comes to seasonal workers street vendors bring fruit from barcelona without any medical unsanitary control without anything and in fact the region we need trash big decisions our shop is open but it's true that sounded 5 percent of stores are closed so we're waiting to be informed what's going on on the one hand i think it is necessary decision for the government because the situation

is severe on the other hand i don't know that jess should be making this decision. kudlow your codes for a quarter of spain's coronavirus cases at the moment and is the country's 2nd worst region but the catalan spokes person for the european partnership for independence and spoke to us believes that just like everywhere else capital catalonia is simply to do its best to contain the virus best it can. it's not the 1st time. is happening and i don't know we already had. a nice relation of for some messages before the shoot here is not if. the president al gore were a man is defying the spanish state because they're so basic today they do have the power and the competence to do so he always the. speed few years to seem that catalonia kind of ruled they own territory so it's a question of saving lives but what we're talking about here and that is we're all

a bit different now governments are trying to do that to find a bear's way to stop the barriers to. a top u.n. official is accusing the white house of conducting an onslaught against the media the special report on freedom of expression called out the trumpet ministration for its constant criticism of reporters the spread of disinformation and partnerships with conservative media organizations david kay also pointed to the so-called trump effect on global press freedom and expressed his hope that attacks on american journalists would end with the trump presidency. clearly the signature issue of the past 4 years now has been the way in which this particular president addresses the media the way he denigrates the media denigrates freedom of expression there clearly is a trump of facts a very negative one. reporters are borders which compiles the world press freedom index ranks the united states 45th and 180 nations and territories it's surveyed so

far and 2020 it puts the u.s. just above countries such as pub for a new guinea and senegal it also says american journalists have been subjected to rests physical assaults and harassment and highlighted from denigrating the media. quiet quiet quiet if i may i'd have a harsh are you worried i said nothing that said i wasn't i'm not going to give you a question you are fake to do such and what c.n.n. should be ashamed of itself having you working for them as you know i have a running war with the media he's a bad people are you friendly everybody no not you not give you they are among the most dishonest human beings on the buzz feed which is a failing file of garbage a group of extraordinarily hostile people namely a fake news media welcome to the world of the media. to america host chris hedges described the american news media as current treatment as distressing but it's been quite distressing to see what's happened in the united states over my own lifetime

as a journalist and how far we fall and if you. spend any time watching even the mainstream networks like c.n.n. or m s n.b.c. or fox edge model it's burlesque it has very little to do anymore with news and trump is a product of what's happened with modern media systems both on the internet and on a cable news shows is that they've siloed viewers and what these media entities are doing if you really want to boil it down is selling hate selling divisions which have grown very very wide and while trump certainly engages in conspiracy theories and challenges reality on almost on a daily basis i would argue that the new york times my old employer c.n.n. and i gave us 2 years of russia gate and there was nothing there but even the reputable so-called reputable news entities are engaging in i think very specious

and suspect forms of journalism because the media only speaks to like minded people or people who already embrace the particular stance or opinions that they champion there's no real possibility of dialogue within the united states and that frightens me. run the world and breathe some of the news now a covert outbreak on a farm in central england forced hundreds of workers into quarantine after dozens tested positive it's raised questions of the conditions at the site then seasonal workers are housed in mobile homes there harvesting period that now having to be holed up in isolation there police are also trying to find 3 workers who fled quarantine $21.00 of them apparently it tested positive the farm owners say staff welfare is their priority. a decades long territorial dispute in the caucasus says erupted into deadly border clashes both armenia and azerbaijan blame each other for

breaking a fragile truce over the breakaway nagorno-karabakh region a media says is very forces trying to infiltrate a military border post their world as a by johns defense ministry accuse the armenians of trying to overrun a border position at least 2 if there is soldiers were killed in the encounter. the taliban car bomb attack on an intelligence agency compound in northern afghanistan has killed at least 11 and injured more than 60 heavy gun fighting followed the blast with security forces killing a surgeon's violence has ramped up recently admitted disputes over the release of taliban prisoners as part of a u.s. brokered peace deal it was so much more of a news of course at r.t. dot com or a social media averse way things are looking from our newsroom so far this tuesday reporting from moscow kevin owen thank you for taking the time to watch have a great day.
