a delivery driver died while being restrained in a child called his father say's it's clear who's to blame. in my view there was a failure to help a person in danger along with assault and the actions that led to my son's. meet up for their 1st face to face in. the blocks on precedented budget is again proving. one minute past 6 pm here in moscow this friday july 17th a very warm welcome to our to international my names you know. russia has rejected britain's accusations of election meddling in the hocking of vaccine research the u.k. foreign secretary. the government is almost certain that russia sought to interfere
11:02 am
in last year's poll susskind taylor breaks down the claims 2020 the year just keeps on giving a pandemic but social awakening and now rushing into ferrand's the government has concluded that it is almost certain that russian actors start to interfere in the 21000 general election through the online amplification of illicitly acquired in league government documents whilst there is no evidence of a broad spectrum russian complain against the general election and any attempt to interfere in our democratic processes is completely unacceptable and elected to parliament the u.k. foreign secretary said to his party's historic triumph at the polls in 2019 and i will of course want to congratulate absolutely everybody involved in securing the biggest conservative majority since that i did eighties. wasn't just people fed up with political deadlock infighting and endless bricks that delays no it was
11:03 am
a russian act is theater actors film actors the kremlin russian nationals russian companies anyone who's ever been to russia it's unclear and yet at the same time it's apparently almost certain ring about the government has concluded that it is highly likely the likely highly likely almost certainly russia this responsible for the to. do the script the cliff if she didn't know it looks like another use of highly likely tactics but it seems like dougie has given up on this term based on previous years' experience so now the british government gives us a new slogan almost certain. and these mysterious russian activists bombarded the public online with details of the nique to post said u.k. u.s. trade deal the one that would have bred speeching coronated chicken a making visits to a privatized n.h.s. hospital is something i can reveal to you $461.00 pages of
11:04 am
evidence on the forest of the n.h.s. is on the table and will be up for sale now timing wise but it's an interesting allegation did the british government just watch and do very little as the virus to hold here under fire for a severe lack of personal protective equipment for health care workers and the failure to ramp up testing the government is under increasing pressure to ease the nationwide lockdown measures is close to having europe's worst death toll so what did it do wrong what differently the government's not only buried under criticism over its covert mistakes but also in debt with a nation afraid to step outside again the accusation also comes ahead of a much anticipated report on russian interference in u.k. politics as a whole a report that's been in the watts 18 months on which the prime minister himself said didn't point to any nefarious forces there is. absolutely no
11:05 am
evidence that i've ever seen of any russian in the difference in u.k. democratic process i mean i think that this is there sure is not i'm sure a 3rd saying you can politics there is no evidence for that a bit mixed messages but it'll still do the trick russian meddling might be an oldie but it's still a good deal but if you really wanted to shift attention away from many crises and and buy a pack line space you could go free double whammy we know that the russian intelligence agencies have been targeting in terms of cyber attacks against efforts across the those 3 countries and here in the u.k. . too far into fantasy through research and development credit cards we do not have information about he may have hacked into pharmaceutical companies and research centers in great britain we can say one thing russia has nothing at all to do with these attempts apparently a hacking group terrifyingly called cozy back is trying to steal everything from
11:06 am
research labs hospitals big pharma is all the good guys who are walking towards a covert vaccine now some might say selfish interest would include buying up the wild supply of the coronavirus treatment drug not completing the fast preclinical trial of a vaccine on humans or by its nefarious self as russia has done but that's just my in a details good old russian into ferentz an old friend you can always turn to if the going gets tough and you need a bit of a break from being bashed. people in london if they were worried about a perceived russian threat but i don't think it's going to play for strange things sometimes often these things will destroy. a smokescreen you know just to warm you know distract us from what's really going on says i that's pretty good evidence that it was from russian is so yeah it doesn't surprise me there's a lot of take. action because he likes it i'd rather be blaming cummings you for
11:07 am
a blender i think that got me a puritan is trying to destabilize the rest of us are. to make things. more. conducive for russian interests to make that russian in the end it is a kind of like not to pass much like a red sky kind of thing like gold or so we think that's right so it's very easy to point the finger isn't it is an old saying you know that's ok when you point the finger take a look see i'm anything to support you back. or since the allegations emerged we've been getting reaction from former british intelligence stuff politicians and journalists. well here we go again highly likely. turn of days are long gone when the public believed how italy lightly claims by british government ministers are megastars any well the public demands are of
11:08 am
a higher standard of growth nowadays what do they mean by russian is this president putin that again sitting on radio. jock your most. national service. if they had evidence wouldn't we to publish it if they're caught when what they mean by russian actor surely must mean russian security forces if they had evidence that russian security gooses were guilty of into being in the u.k. general election not be prosecuted in rome to release that information that would be headline news in every news outlet in this country and across the globe seized on by the americans and the be leaky he. do men when the story broke because well last year it was called a leak it wasn't called a hack so it was some sort of leak coming out of government while the real facts from some external agency so i think it's interesting that now bring us up take
11:09 am
a head of the publication of being a tourist russia and report. interesting leave the united nations say to terms no information about the alleged cyber theft of vaccine research earlier my colleague jeff greene booga spoke to the head of russia's sovereign wealth fund which is investing in research here in russia he said moscow would have no reason to steal medical data from overseas. what do you say to claims that russia is trying to steal information about vaccine research well that binds them very hard to believe because 1st of all they're surprised by the timing of those comments because it just happens a following day after we announced it will probably be as a 1st country to have approval put a big scene except that it will be expected in august of this year and we believe it will be one of the most efficient of it seems in the world allowing us to not only start vaccinating russians from september but also bill partnerships because
11:10 am
as the countries in the world you know we will produce an oxford zeneca vaccine throughout all of company our farm there is an agreement on that and all of that technology will be transferred to our anyway so those accusations seem to be strange ends of timing seems to be very strange as well tell us a little bit more about the multinational cooperation that's taking place for this vaccine development russia is open to corporation was other countries earlier this year we basically said we need to jointly focus with other countries on great distance systems when successful drugs and on big sheens so we are now working with 5 other countries to start manufacturing will crush and vaccine this year we will share with them to college you will basically share with them i'll know how to be able to produce as those vaccines in other countries and we believe that international effort is really needed only together we can address can the virus challenge and frankly those cold war rhetoric and old will barriers preclude in
11:11 am
many countries from being efficient and build an international partnerships that's russia's doing. more than 6 months after a french delivery driver died when police pinned him to the ground in a choke hold 3 officers have now been charged with manslaughter the father of 5 said rick hsu they suffered a heart attack and ultimately died of suffocation after what was supposed to be a routine stop r.t. charlotte dubin ski reports from. when citric shoe fit was pulled over by police in january it was a traffic check the offices say that she had been looking at this case they say that the motorbike delivery driver also had a duty to license plates passes by fill the scenes that followed at 1st said to make sure they can be seen pointing his finger asked the police for over 10
11:12 am
minutes he in the police are shown to be in discussion but then citrix is said to have called an officer a fool and he's arrested under arrest they say he resisted the video then shows 3 officers holding him down on the floor while still wearing his motorbike helmets in order hood by investigators the fault of 5 is said to be crying out that he called to brief he repeats this 7 times during that arrest he suffered a heart attack he was taken to hospital in a coma 2 days later said to make sure it was dead a post-mortem found that he hadn't died from the heart attack in fact his larynx had been fractured and he died from this pyxia said family devastated by his death hit out at the manner in which the police arrested him again. we do not understand why these technical restraint the children holding has still not
11:13 am
been banned because as we have seen this is what killed my father it cost a fraction of the larynx and we are in the state of total in comprehension today that's why i want to speak directly to mr amano mccraw the chokehold technique is one of many things that officers can use to control a suspect when cedric shuv a died his family called out for change but nothing happened it wasn't until months later following the death of u.s. citizen jewel. boy that angle really flared up not just through the use of the choke hold technique but also reigniting protest so alleged police brutality.
11:14 am
authorities took notice and announced that the controversial chokehold technique would be banned but that didn't last long with anger from the police unions forcing the government to back down and it made a u. turn but the protests did focus in new spotlight on the case of said it should say now an investigation has found that there is a case to be answered by the officers present day with manslaughter charges being made his family they are still unhappy because very often probably the reason these are we are glad that police officers have finally been charged although for some odd reason one female officer in the case is serving as a witness we don't understand this in my view there was a failure to help a person in danger along with assault and actions that led to my son's death and they still haven't been fired and the government has changed so let's see what comes next but for me what's happening now is shameful for us as not everyone in
11:15 am
the police force is a murderer if there are people doing their jobs in harsh circumstances with a lack of resources we as a family understand that only we asked the interior minister is the hit by by the rules and create the lie that started the whole post journey for $22.00 and she said her family await justice for his death meanwhile they remain defiant that the choke hold technique must be abandoned. paris. the european union is holding its 1st physical summit since february the 27 nations are hoping to approve a massive recovery plan on also a strike a compromise on the block 7 your budget our europe correspondent peter all of our has more now on elbow bumps on less than straightforward negotiations. it's almost back to normal isn't it back in the room in brussels leaders of the meeting for faced meeting face to face for the 1st time since coronavirus put an end to that
11:16 am
and they have to take part in these well the times in terms of all online video conferences musk's social distancing and elbow bumps replacing the handshake of the order of the day just like everybody said it hearing to the new rules of social distancing and masks except for those funds for use of social distancing the visit guard for the group made up of poland slovakia czech republic and hungary who twitter feeds have all been awash with photos of masculists handshakes yeah they don't play by anybody's rules that there is some business to be taken care of though that's why they're in brussels for this meeting a budget for the next 7 years and a much needed coronavirus stimulus package have to be agreed on angela merkel is in charge pretty much of this meeting but the german chancellor didn't seem filled
11:17 am
with confidence heading in to the summit in brussels for. our last meeting in february was not successful we are all entering this negotiations in good spirits but i have to see the difference at a very big therefore i can see just yet whether they will come to an agreement this to have expected very very difficult negotiations charles michel the european council president has cooked 26000000000 euro from the budget he 1st put forward back in may we're still looking it will point 86 trillion that is being asked for but that includes the 7 year budget and whipping of hundreds of millions for corona recovery their opposition as you would imagine when it comes to numbers like this the frugal for they being called austria sweden denmark and. the netherlands making up the frugal 4 they say they'll only agree to these packages if they have the say on how countries spend that money given not
11:18 am
a chance say though yes it will need the most of that money we're talking about france italy spain and greece here they say that would infringe upon their sovereignty the meeting starts it with the european a parliament president david saw early warning that if an agreement isn't found there's going to be dire consequences for the whole block. at the moment the heads of government have a huge responsibility we cannot allow ourselves to feel to reach an agreement and the council any sort of postponement could certainly provoke a new storm and put the whole of europe in a difficult situation the summit can continue over the weekend i have a feeling though and so do many watching this may continue for a while yet before they find an agreement. international travel is slowly picking up but that's proving to be a headache for arland which ses it's having trouble with one particular set of tourists guests arriving from the united states or heading straight to enjoy
11:19 am
arlen's bars restaurants and hotels that's this by current rule stating they were required to self quarantine for 14 days it's causing some anxiety in the hospitality industry and among locals one chef told us he's been turning american guests away. 2 tables to different tables of american tourists going to look into the restaurant when they were asked about when they arrived in the country. which we. just shrugged and walked away and the 2nd table the gentleman on it said he didn't have drawn a virus and it was all done with which point i just said i'm sorry word don't hear very. little beast. before you condemn peoples on that night my stuff would have been comfortable. i was putting them possibly in jeopardy because it was too early
11:20 am
and i wasn't willing to take it. well there is growing public pressure on the irish government to take a tougher line on travelers from the united states currently arland is the only e.u. country accepting tourists from the us which has the world's highest number of recorded covert infections although irish leaders insists that not many people are making the trip across the atlantic. the amount american visitors are information back from the department transporters is up the numbers are quite low people should not be coming to our land if they can't restrict their movements for 14 days when they come here. this is not a time for normal holidays for tourists coming from abroad. i think we've been very clear on that. but no allchin again believes the government has failed to shield the country from potential virus couriers. our little group of
11:21 am
i was under control and the last thing we need to be is people coming in from from our to box. and they do gardening when we've done their selves iraqi it was more about the government reaction. the americans themselves and you know the government came out and said that there was it was more complicated complicated than that and some of the systems were flawed that's a combo. of the book it's much easier to please our borders really. be easy to be able to do is a lot of where younger is coming from it's like. it should be easier for us to do with anybody. the economic fallout from the pandemic is still hitting the united states job market another 1300000 americans filed 1st time jobless claims last week on employment skyrocket in early april when the pandemic lockdowns took hold and saw more than 6000000 filed new jobless claims for 2 weeks in a row the situation hosts likely improve recently but over 17000000 people were
11:22 am
still claiming all employment benefits the start of this month well more than a dozen u.s. firms have filed for bankruptcy touring the pandemic nonetheless they have promised to pay millions in bonuses to their top executives. a new white house ad campaign says that if you've lost your job or income due to the pandemic it's time to find something new and i know what you're thinking i need a child and i've been there but you've got to keep going just need the right skills find in apprenticeships take on the course are you can do this if you were trying to be will find somebody to do. the unemployment rate in the united states is still elevated due to the pandemic roughly $18000000.00 americans are currently without a job now in the united states if you lose your job you often also lose your health insurance and that is a concern for everyone during this pandemic in 3 short months the number of adults
11:23 am
without health insurance rose by 5400000 the largest coverage loss in american history exceeding by nearly 40 percent the greatest annual increase in the number of uninsured adults ever recorded so need to find something new consider becoming jeff bezos he's made billions during this pandemic or a lion musk who's seen a surge in his profits but even when your company does poorly it's still great to be a corporate executive bloomberg found out of the $100.00 companies that have filed for bankruptcy amid this pandemic 19 of them have paid out a combined total of one $131000000.00 in retention and performance bonuses to people at the top take for example hertz car rental corp now they recently went under in response to these unprecedented conditions and the uncertainty regarding the duration of the impact has taken proactive and aggressive actions to manage costs and ricci's capital expenditures on may 19th hurts car rental corp handed out
