by golly it's time to do news again. rejects claims of. the u.k. foreign secretary described as almost certain. people in london. you know distract us from what. i do think it's. also ahead on the program the u.s. registers its largest single day spike in cases infections are increasing twice the rate seen in.

6 months. being restrained. in my view it was a failure. with. the e.u. leaders 1st face to face summit in 5 months hoping to. 7 year budget. from today across the globe welcome to our to international my names you know me company. russia rejected britain's accusations of election meddling

and hacking of vaccine research the u.k. foreign secretary said the government is almost certain that russia saul to interfere in last year's poll. breaks down the claims. 2020 the year just keeps on giving a pandemic but social awakening and now russian interference the government has concluded that it is almost certain that russian actors start to interfere in the $21000.00 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 a general election and any attempt to interfere in our democratic processes is completely unacceptable and allotted 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 it delays no it was a russian actors 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 finding likely almost certainly will show this responsible for the to. do the script down the cliff if she didn't wish to looks like another use of highly likely tactics but it seems he has given up on this term based on previous years' experience even more so now the british government gives us the new slogan almost certain bridge and these mysterious russian actors bombarded the public online with details of the neat pose brock's at u.k. u.s. trade deal the one that would have bread speaking coronated chicken and making visits to a privatized n.h.s. hospital is something i can reveal to you 461 pages of

evidence on the forest of the n.h.s. is on the table and will. up for sale now timing wise 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 it's 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 for 18 months on which the prime minister himself said didn't point to any nefarious forces there is. absolutely no

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 russian authorities in u.k. politics there is no evidence for that a bit mixed message but it will still do the trick russian meddling might be an oldie but it's still a goody 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. our attempts to find a fancy through research and development occurring of ours we do not have information about who 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 research labs hospitals big pharma is all of the good guys who are walking towards . a vaccine now some might say selfish interest would include buying up the wild supply of the coronavirus treatment drug not completing the fast preclinical tried up a vaccine on humans or by its nefarious self as russia has done but that's just my net details good old russian into ferrets an old friend you can always turn to if the going gets tough and you need a bit of a break from being bashed so i ask. people in london if they were worried about a perceived russian threat. i don't think it's right to play her shrink from trials offering these things will destroy you know just for a smokescreen you know just to um 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 us to take. action because he likes it i'd rather be blaming cummings before i blame the us i think they've got to be a puritan is trying to destabilize the west and so. to make things. more. conducive for russian interests to be cooperation in the end if you take this kind of like now to pass much like the french sky kind of thing like a little precious everything else kind of complex and it's very easy to point the finger isn't it is an old saying you know that's the trick when you point the finger take it you have anything to support you back. well since the allegations emerged we've been getting reaction from former british intelligence politicians and analysts. well here we go again highly likely. days are long gone when the public believed how the likely claims by british government ministers are megastars any well the public demands are of

a higher standard of growth nowadays what do they mean by russian is this president putin that again sitting on radio. jock you're most of the national service. to the hard evidence wouldn't we it's a problem if they're caught when what they mean by russian act surely must mean russian security forces if they had evidence that russian security gooses were guilty of into being in the u.k. general i should not be pussyfooting around 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. do men when the story broke because well last year it was called a leak it wasn't called a hack so it was something really coming out of government that for me some extra

looks at the tour agency so i think it's interesting that now bring us up take a head of the publication a screener tourist russia. well the united nations sees it has no information about the alleged cyber theft of vaccine research earlier my colleague jacqueline bouvier 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 see the medical data from overseas as work is progressing with international partners to. what do you say to claims that. russia's trying to steal information about vaccine research well defines them very hard to believe because 1st of all we're surprised by the timing of those comments because it just happens of following day off that we announced as a will probably be as a 1st country to have approval who haven't seen except to 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 with other countries in the world you know we will produce an oxford zeneca vaccine through our dollar company our farm there is an agreement on that and all of that technology will be transferred to our farm anyway so those accusations seem to be strange of diamond 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 with other countries early as this year we've basically said we need to jointly focus with other countries on great distance distance on successful drugs and on big sheens so we are now working with 5 other countries to start manufacturing a fraction of that scene this year we will share with them to college it will basically share with them. to be able to produce as those big scenes in other countries and we believe that international effort is really needed only together we can address kind of virus challenge and frankly as those cold war rhetoric and

cold war barriers precluded many countries from being efficient and build an international partnerships as russia is doing. the united states has recorded more than 77000 new cases of cope with 19 deaths the most in a single day since the start of the pandemic and it's double the figure recorded on june the 24th when number seemed to be the climbing less calls live now to our he's been in new york could have been numbers do appear are alarming but the president has been putting a positive spin on the crisis can you tell us what's been happening. of course if you listen to donald trump he says that is the united states is coming back to life and reopening everything is pretty much a ok take a listen to the president of the united states i want everyone to know i want every citizen know that we're using the full power of the federal government to fight the

china virus and to keep our people safe we got hit with this terrible plague from china and now we're getting close to fighting our way out of it we're on the way to a tremendous victory it's going to happen and it's going to happen big our country will be greater good ever before thank you no administration in history has removed more red tape more quickly to rescue the economy and to protect the health of our people. at this point $39.00 u.s. states that's $39.00 out of 50 us states have seen a rise in cases furthermore 75 percent of the cases at this point are taking place in states that voted and gave their electoral votes to donald trump during the 2016 elections now many people have looked on in shock and seen how arizona and texas are at this point using refrigerated trucks as temporary morgue steak alyson

. i'm pleading with everybody in our neck of the woods help us do your part people's lives are at stake not just the people getting sick but doctors nurses working to the bone in mass personnel transporting people now at this point florida is the state that is the worst hit by a virus cases and that is a state that donald trump will need if he's going to win the upcoming election in november he'll need to carry florida solidly now republicans at this point are scaling back their plans for their upcoming convention moving some of the festivities and activities outdoors up because of health concerns a new poll shows that 64 percent of americans are saying they do not trust donald trump when it comes to handling the coronavirus and we recently actually heard a number of republicans speaking very critically of the president take a listen. i had watched as the president don't play the outbreak severity and as

the white house failed to use you public warnings drop a 50 state strategy or dispatch medical gear or a life saving ventilators from the national stockpile to american hospitals now the centers for disease control is collecting data and analyzing it and there are many voices in the united states that are concerned about how the data that the c.d.c. is collecting could be misrepresented they are concerned that some of the information that the u.s. public is receiving from elected officials and from the media may not be accurate a lot of questions are being raised not not a good situation in the united states as cases increase with many people asking questions about who is to blame. you know thanks for bringing us right up to date on the u.s. correspondent killick not been speaking to us from new york. 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 father of 5 said rick suffered a heart attack and ultimately died of suffocation after what was supposed to be a routine still. reports from paris when citric shoe free was pulled over by police in january it was a traffic check the offices say that he had been looking at his suburban and they say that the motorbike delivery driver also had a duty to license plates passes by filled the scenes that followed at 1st said to make sure they can be seen pointing his finger at the police for over 10 minutes he in the police are shown to be in discussion but then. 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 father 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 pick shoot 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 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 emanuel mccraw on the chokehold technique is one of many things that officers can use to control

a suspect when cedric should say died his family called out for change but nothing happened it wasn't until months later following the death of u.s. citizen george floyd that anger really flared up not just over the use of the chokehold technique but also reigniting protests over alleged police brutality. 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 sets picture of

a now an investigation has found that there is a case to be answered by the officers who are present day with manslaughter charges being made his family they are still unhappy because very often it will be them is one example we are glad the police officers have finally been charged although for some odd reason one female officer in the case is serving as the 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 the government has changed so let's see what comes next but for me what's happening now is shameful just as not everyone in the police force is a murderer and there are people doing their job. and harsh circumstances with a lack of resources and we as a family understand that we asked the interior minister is the here by the rules and create from either the start of the hard journey of the 22 in. the family await justice for his death meanwhile they remain defiant that the choke hold

technique must be abandoned. r.t. paris. the european union is holding its 1st physical some months since february the 27 nations are hoping to approve a massive recovery plan and also strike a compromise on the block 7 year budget for europe correspondent peter odom as more on elbow bumps less than straightforward negotiations. it's almost back to normal isn't it back in the room in brussels leaders of the meeting faced a team meeting face to face for the 1st time since coronavirus put an end to that and they had to take part in these well at times terminal online video conferences masks social distancing and elbow bumps replacing the handshake of the order of the day just about everybody said it hearing to the new rules of social distancing and

masks except for those bad boys 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 masculist handshakes yeah they don't play by anybody's rules 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 with confidence heading in to the summit in brussels. our last meeting in february was not successful we are all entering this negotiations in good spirits but i have to say the differences are still very big therefore i can see just yet whether we'll 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 well point 86 trillion that is being asked for but that includes the 7 year budget and whipping 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 for they say they'll only agree to these packages if they have a say on how countries spend that money given not a chance say those who 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 started with the european parliament president david saw early warning that if an agreement isn't found there's going to be dire consequences for the whole

block but i mean to go to the you go 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 new storms and put the whole of europe in a difficult situation the summit can continue over the weekend i have a feeling though and so to many watching this may continue for a while yet before they find an agreement. international travel is slowly picking up but the world's proving to be a headache for ireland which sees itself in trouble with one particular set of tourists guests arriving from the united states or heading straight to enjoy bars restaurants. hotels by current rules stating they're required to self quarantine for 14 days it's causing some anxiety in the hospitality industry and among locals one restaurant manager told us he's been turning american guests. the last.

2 tables to different tables an american tourist trying to book into the restaurant when they were asked about when they arrived in the country daisy earlier which means that the. source table 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 over hyped in a way which point i just said i'm sorry we're only here thank you and please leave the us you know i did it based on the fact that before you condemn people's on that night my staff would've been uncomfortable. i was putting them possibly in jeopardy because i was too high 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 arlington is the only e.u. country accepting tourists from the us which has the world's highest number of recorded covert and texans although irish leaders insists that not many people are making

the trip across the atlantic. the amount american visitors are information back from the public transport 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 the. restauranteur nor can again believes that government has fealty to shield a country from potential virus take a listen. our little group of i was under control and the last thing we need to be is people coming in from from our to box. and not do gardening when we've done there are so eager i think there's more about the government action. the americans themselves and you know the government came out and said that there was it was more complicated complicated than that some of the systems were flawed it's

a complex that's the book it's much easier to believe our borders really seem. to be able to do is i think that's a lot of where younger is coming from it's like. it should be easier for us to do with anybody. protesters have shut down oil pumping station in southern tunis here they are urging the government to follow through on a 27 deal to create the oil industry jobs in the tattooing region made soaring unemployment soldiers have been deployed to prevent damage to this site so far no clashes have been reported. from north africa to the middle east or again gathered outside the israeli prime minister's residence on thursday night calling on him to resign over corruption charges 100 people surrounded the compound and to rule them chanting playing drums we have. benjamin netanyahu

standing trial in a series of roughed axes charges. the closest pictures ever seen of our son they've been published by knopf the european space agency they captured the arteries of the star's atmosphere or the temperature is roland 1000000 degrees celcius. incredible stuff reminder for plenty of interesting stories and k.p. right up to date this friday artie's twitter pay. never stops. and we keep the news really here at the top of the hour after another great documentary starting in moments they close and.

most. when else truths seem wrong. when old roles just don't hold. me to the world yet to shape out these days to come to educate and indeed train equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. during the vietnam war u.s. forces also bombs neighboring laos it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. not allow cell my skin is a mouth carry back country per capita. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country jordyn wieber went

out of control it's happening. even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for that tragedy in laos what help do the people need in that little land of mines. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see the very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids it invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did dose at their dose after dose after dose and really became

his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers or the government .

so we raise the following question what if we could get every kid to follow 3 simple rules graduate from high school get a job and continue work and don't have children tell you're 21 and right now we've walked out at the entire country and we classified people according to whether they broke all those rules or they followed one or 2 or all 3 of the rules the results are astounding. but so many go to be. prepared for a mechanic. so i started talking to chad.
