but how it's a live person. i don't see him dying. and . that's what he's saying. fury and portland at president donald trump the deployment of troops to the city to stamp out anti-racism protests the president's also slammed the unrest in cities across the u.s. what cities are doing is absolute insanity and many of the same politicians who want to slash resources for law enforcement have also declared that their cities are saying sure is for criminal illegal aliens. also this hour the world health

organization says it's worried about the coronavirus situation in europe just weeks after countries there start to breed opening their doors to tourists. and china's foreign ministry says it's an embassy and the united states received death threats because of the anti beijing hysteria whipped up by the trumpet ministration as after the us gave the chinese consulate in houston 72 hours to shut down. watching our to international bring your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. anger over the deployment of armed federal forces to the u.s. city of portland shows no signs of dying down president decision to send in the troops to stamp out nearly 2 months of anti-racism protests only aggravated the situation.

by. no you are right. here you're there along. with. the mayor of portland was tear gassed by federal agents as he stood with protesters the white house claims he's lost control of the city for over a dozen mayors have already asked their trumpet ministration to remove federal forces from or halt plans to send them to other american cities protesters called to defund the police have only got louder since the arrival of federal agents. meanwhile chicago's mayor has urged citizens to inform the police of any unconstitutional actions committed by federal forces earlier trump announced that

hundreds of troops would be deployed to chicago i think in their own way they want us to go and they'll be a time where they're going to want us to go in full blast but right now we're sending extra people to help i've been very clear not happening in chicago we don't need federal troops and i'm calling on all chicagoans that if you see something that doesn't look right please don't hesitate to report it and if we see any steps out of line particularly with v.h.s. or border patrol we're not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions. now the city of chicago has experienced a spike in violence over the past few days a recent drive by shooting near a funeral home let me 15 people injured murders and shooting incidents in the city

doubled in 2020 compared to 2019 local say the president's decision to send in federal troops won't solve the crisis though i think that the time and the resources could be better spent in addressing the pandemic that affects all of us across the world so i. just think it's just a deflection and it's unfortunate it's violence begets more violence it's just a chain that will just repeatedly continue it's not going to stop it is very dangerous to send federal agents to chicago i mean there's if you what happens if i just stay inside for the couple weeks there and then come back outside when they leave like the rules are very intelligent and they're not this is not intelligent the most useful help would be the bureau of alcohol. tobacco to help to deal with. the automatic weapons that are in the hands of criminals and you know we're going to get those kind of weapons out of the hands of people

who. you know the mass shootings. the world health organization is sounding the alarm over coronavirus trends in europe calling them worrying it's fear and these could spiral into major outbreaks are to spare all over reports. the summer sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions of being lifted or lucent the world health organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus with eastern europe and the polk and is deemed to be particularly at risk. we still have some worrying trends in southern europe in the balkans so we're not out of the woods just yet in the european environment it requires sustained vigilance just 2 months ago montenegro was declaring itself corona free not anymore it seems 2000 cases of the virus have seen social distancing and lock down measures reintroduced but. you may be forgiven

for thinking that western europe would force off the worst the pandemic count to offer but there's also been spikes there as well in spain for example the number of new infections has tripled recently. you know this when measures have been relaxed is where outbreaks happen is not only family reunions or other types of gatherings where we've had a good number of new outbreaks but also in places where there's been evening entertainment they have also generated some new outbreaks some countries are already reimposing measures in austria masks will be mandatory again from friday in response to a rise in the number of covert cases while in belgium which was ravaged by the 1st wave of the virus more pressure is being placed upon the health care system local mayors will be given powers to impose lock downs and curfews in the areas hardest

hit we think that this is not really the time to have phase 5 of the restrictions there will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the coronavirus instead . germany has been very successful at keeping case. says low but this time of year is the peak time for holidays and unfortunately mingling with strangers when traveling is a very good way to spread this virus then that's the differences in the precautions taken from country to country here in berlin it's strictly for bolton to write public transport without a mask while in no way it's optional but there is nothing stopping me popping off the all slow for a few days taking in the sights of the taiga city by tram and bring it back to germany europe like everywhere else is desperate to get back to normality not least of all for economic reasons but steps taken to quickly can end up being steps taken

backwards that comb with tragic consequences coronavirus today is no less infectious and no less deadly than it was a few months back it would a political but mostly economy in europe is more concerned with the economy in the health of its citizens and people the relaxation of the self isolation regime happened too early we do not know much about this virus but it spreads extremely quickly now there have been repeated outbreaks of the virus in many places in spain in terms of the rate of infection the country's approaching the figure of a 1000 people a day due to summer vacations that there are not enough doctors and nurses we need to act quickly in order to find the source of infections and try to immediately isolate and quarantine the people who are nearby in europe borders have been practically open some places are being visited by tourists i don't think that the control over visitors is very strict if europe does not act together then frankly

it will be difficult at the beginning of the epidemic the government made the wrong decisions by the end of february a quarantine should have been already declared but this is in the past today it is . global problem i see that infections are not only occurring in spain the balkans will be a big source of increased coronavirus infections in europe. after days of tense talks $27.00 the e.u. countries managed to strike a deal on tuesday on a hefty post coronavirus stimulus package the french president hailed the recovery plan as historic however his optimism was not shared by his political opponents. this recovery plan based on european solidarity is a historic change for the european union and the eurozone and it's a common goal based on solidarity and responsibility because there's a planned refund deadline the goal isn't soley to leave all of this on the backs of

future generations so this is a common desire to invest which will enable us to properly face the social and economic but also it's a logical challenges of our european union. macron has just signed the worst deal for france in the history for you to protect his ego he sector feiss our future and our independence european taxes abandonment for agriculture colossal financial commitment of the country micron has given into everything contribution discounts to tight fisted countries spending controls the reduction in the amount of the recovery plan etc spare us the propaganda the summit also saw leaders agree on a 7 year budget for the block worth 1.3 trillion u.s. dollars on top of that $857000000000.00 u.s. dollars was earmarked for the covert recovery plan and the panic journalist lucre bay and sunday telegraph calmness elizabethtown shared with us their views on the

deal. for once they're out there on the same wavelength i mean the less militant more and more independent right they both criticise with the same arguments the clamor of michael. wanted some food to be one of the european leaders to be the leader with mrs merkel really wants to have an international stature and walk for how francis dealt with the coronavirus crisis i would be proud and also from to come out of the speech is in deep trouble unfortunately it is just trying to politics they are mean they are not against europe in any way and most of the time they have different areas in which the or against europe whether the left or the right the left are saying that it kills the interest of workers and the right to saying that it makes it impossible to be a free nation but the result is that the felt from was complaining in 2007 that he

was pro european that he thought that france was stronger within europe than not having a part to play in europe and he's just done a great deal of brinkmanship a look probably the toughest european summit since they created the european union and he and angela merkel had to compromise on some aspects but they more or less won the deal so he had worked with the dictionary and it's making his enemies very angry. tensions between the united states and china are ratcheting up beijing's foreign ministry has slammed washington after it abruptly gave the republic 72 hours on tuesday to shut its consulate in houston and a tweet a spokesperson for the ministry said the chinese embassy had received bomb and death threats because of hatred against the country whipped up by the term administration are words were also exchanged in public. as far as closing 'd additional embassies it's always possible they were burning documents or burning papers or meet on time china strongly condemns the decision and urges the us side

to immediately rescind this wrong decision otherwise china will take legitimate and necessary countermeasures there's been this long challenge of the chinese communist party stealing intellectual property we actually talked about this is not just american intellectual property but stalls when european intellectual property in the u.s. says it ordered the conflict close to quote protect american intellectual property and private information on tuesday a police and fire officials responded to reports of smoke in the courtyard of the building a video emerged of what appears to be fires and conflict trash bins it's widely speculated in the media that consulate employees were burning documents relations between the u.s. and china have been steadily deteriorating president trump recently revoked hong kong's preferential trade status and also move to further sanction chinese officials and businesses over china's new security law which also affects hong kong on top of that trump has been pointing the finger at beijing over the coronavirus

spend demick r.t. america hosts rick sanchez discuss the escalating tensions with his guests. this was unexpected and it was a complete slap in the face because they are essentially being forced to shut down the entire console within 72 hours and in fact this is one of the most important console when the oldest ones ever established in the u.s. so china isn't that said that they are definitely going to retaliate if the u.s. does not reconsider and withdraw this and they said that they are most likely will be it could well be shutting down the u.s. consulate over and as well in retaliation this entire thing was done without any sort of communication at all so it just shows you how deteriorated this entire relationship is mike pompeo then goes on to are looking like he just walked off of the soprano's the public in the countries that comes and goes to look at each of our noiselessly and shake their heads and the ask themselves is this the great america it's roaming around the world like a bull in

a china shop if you'll forgive the pun given the events today and the owner of the all these china shops is finally going to say if we don't stop these people then all of our china shops are going to be trashed have we gone sanction crazy over the sanctions are not worth or. are. on the agenda consequently. they're really. really independently at what their worth or not there's an exchange that took a kind of political theater mr trump and the republicans are and never will and thank you jane from breaking. news they're now going to beat up on china and make them a big deal out of all of that with french and which what the average person has no doubt are. really almost every year they're at around. all the.

chains make the rest of the world nervous very strange way in which your politics between leading countries in the world. with relations tense down here on earth china is turning its attention toward space and the red planet in particular having just launched its 1st probe mission to mars a chinese rocket successfully blasted off on its 7 month long journey early on thursday morning and it may encounter some traffic along the way as on monday the united arab emirates also launched their 1st mission to mars. thousands of people gathered for anti-government protests in sofia on wednesday for the 14th day in a row demonstrators threw rolls of toilet paper at the council of ministers there demanding the bulgarian find that's just haven't stepped down accusing it of corruption and abuse of power tensions have intensified since the government survived a vote of no confidence prime minister boyko announced today

a series of changes to his cabinet as a response to the protests. and workers at playmaker air bus have taken to the streets of madrid to protest against hundreds of looming layoffs it comes as the aviation giant announces its intention to cut thousands of jobs globally $900.00 of them in spain alone city officials have appealed directly to the president to protect the country's aerospace industry. still to come dozens of scientists have warned against the resumption of nuclear testing we hear from a nobel laureate who thinks it would be an indication of war planning that's among our stories after this.

with yeah like. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person it goes with. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

him. welcome back the mayor of a small german port town fears he could be facing the wrath of the u.s. government in the form of sanctions and the city of 1000 it's in northern germany is primarily known as a vacation spot however its mayor is also responsible for the port of new crown or ships working on the russian germy nordstrom to pipeline are docked america has imposed sanctions on anyone working on the project so after refusing to expel the vessels from crocked is now waiting to be hit with u.s. ink sions. i can't say i understand this as you know the time for threats has passed the us state department announced that the new restrictions would come into effect although we have not received any official notice yet we must take this seriously as this is

a tightening of sanctions that have already been imposed i don't understand these actions since in my mind this is breaking international law europe is sovereign territory and i don't think europe should allow such interference in its economic issues the u.s. house of representatives recently passed an amendment to the national defense authorization act which imposes further sanctions against companies and vault and the construction of the north stream to pipeline washington has already imposed sanctions in the past to prevent its completion and declare the project is threat to european security that pipeline is aimed at pumping natural gas from russia to germany via the baltic sea bypassing traditional transit countries like ukraine the construction of north stream to began in may of 2018 you're sanctioned slapped on vessels and companies involved in the project have temporarily halted work on it and response moscow said that it was ready to complete the pipeline on its own using its own ships but now washington is tightening the restrictions and evil

local european politicians are in the crosshairs frank cox again feels that the u.s. is political threats or demands are hurting international relations. it's just regarding the ships i have always said that we will not allow anyone to tell us what ships can come through our port and dock on our shores we will not allow the u.s. to dictate what vessels can anchor in our port. i don't think we need protection from russia for decades our region has had great economic relations with russia but the european sanctions have halted this i think it is very important that in these difficult times we continue to communicate with each other rather than send threats the covert 19 pandemic has led to a global crisis and also an economic one we should consider this and possibly cooperate more closely on a global scale not threaten each other and halt economic growth that is the wrong

path of course it will be disappointing if mr trump pulls this off it saddens me that people who want to live in peace who want to have unique experiences and discover other cultures can be told by other people who consider themselves important no you can't do this to me this is a very serious issue. a group of 40 scientists has warned the us against a resumption of nuclear testing assigning the risk of an all out war back in may reports emerged suggesting that the term ministration discussed whether to conduct a 1st nuclear test since a decades long war toria earlier my colleagues asked taylor spoke to nobel laureate sir richard j. roberts he believes a renewal of nuclear tests could set off an alarming chain reaction. well the point of the testing is that if you're not planning for war why do it so that means you're planning for war if the us watch regime testing that would provoke other

countries such as india or pakistan to all serious you that test as well exactly does what exactly what i would expect so other nations are going to be concerned if the us is doing it you know why shouldn't we why are they doing it what are they what is they go. i think this whole thing is crazy you know the world does not need nuclear weapons we have plenty of problems we don't need the problems. the us has already did stay number of nuclear agreements as of late in 2019 it pulled out of a cold war pact with russia the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty earlier washington walked out of the rand a clear deal now all eyes are on an arms reduction treaty that set to expire at the beginning of 2021 russia has been pushing for its extension but the u.s. is still deliberating so richard j. roberts again says there are risks of a nuclear war with another superpower as well i think the possibility of a new cold war with china the scapegoat is trying instead of russia is

growing every day. but i also think that a challenge like this when we see the potential for tragedy that can come from an enemy such is called the 19 president should make rational people think about what is important in law is it important to prepare for a nuclear war or is it important to prepare make sure the operation is how do you support total disarmament apply judy. yes or what you just no sense that there is no good we're actually not anybody to have nuclear arms. we now bring you some news coming in from the ukrainian city of poltava where a man is holding a police officer hostage and is threatening to detonate a grenade incident reportedly started near the city's administrative court building after the policeman tried to detain a suspect in

a car theft the security services are currently trying to negotiate the hostage taker was provided with a vehicle and accordance with his demands and is trying to drive out of the city we'll be bringing you more on that situation as it develops. the coronavirus pandemic is set to change the way americans can vote in november presidential election with states expanding access to mail and voting as a safer alternative to in person voting but a recent poll shows that many citizens doubt the security of the measure 49 percent of us of sins are apparently convinced mail in voting is susceptible to significant fraud kilmartin reports. the coronavirus is changing the way we live and the upcoming election in the united states this november is no different this year instead of taking the risk of standing in long lines outside of polling places millions of americans will be voting by casting their ballots through the mail

embracing the post coded reality but this is setting off alarm bells for some especially with a new directive saying that postal workers are forbidden from taking overtime while this changes in a normal year would be drastic in a presidential election year when many states are in line have an absentee mail in ballots increases in mail delivery time and it would impair the ability of ballots to be received and counted in a timely manner and an acceptable outcome for free and fair election the idea that we can get everyone on the same page and perform the election operation $10000.00 precincts at a time as we always do with a totally new way of getting the ballots in is just beyond reach it way over the horizon it's something we need to plan for the next election 2 years from now it will be utter chaos trying to get the american election system to absorb a new way of doing it in the next 3 months and it seems like these fears are not

groundless take a look at the recent primary vote that happened in new york it appears that a large percentage of the ballots were thrown away furthermore it takes days for all the mail in votes to arrive delaying election results in the recent new york primary vote many never even received the absentee mail in ballots that they applied for now all of this has many thinking that there are openings for fraud i think national mail in elections and ballads waiting in mailboxes and all that is just an invitation to fraud and abuse on a colossal scale it becomes so divorced from reality that people don't even realize what the vibe is. that separates them mentally and emotionally and in terms of their daily lives from that very sure process of standing in the voting booth participating in their cars to to shuttle duty and right and i do not believe that is a good direction for america us president donald trump has not just been critical of

the mail in voting process he's given a very clear analysis of how he feels about the upcoming vote mail in voting unless changed by the courts will lead to the most corrupt election in our nation's history facebook called this post misleading along with some of joe biden's posts and it provides a link to what it refers to as official voting information now the upcoming presidential election in november will be the 1st time in u.s. history that a national election has been conducted primarily with mail in ballots that's going to generate not only a lot of postage but also potentially many surprises it with modern artsy new york that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more ahead on our tar web site are to dot com for countless articles and up to minute reports including.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to get a little the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. something seemed wrong but all in all just don't call. me old yet to shape our disdain to become educated and in the game trade because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceuticals came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started

a myth and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the time could you get it addicted to no. that was not true then and it is not true now and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of lying about these tricks they cause the step i believe that with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for it was broadcast and we found it. we think. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term fakes.
