thinks. we dare to ask. theory and portland at present terms deployment of troops to the city to stamp out anti-racism protests presence also plenty unrest in cities across the us what cities are doing is absolute insanity many of the same politicians who want to see was resources for law enforcement have also declared that their cities are saying sure it 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 started reopening their doors to tourists. and china's foreign ministry says its embassy in the united states received death threats because of the beijing hysteria whipped up by the trumpet ministration that's after the u.s. gave the chinese consulate in houston 72 hours to shut down. you're watching are to international coming to you live from the russian capital worth just turned 3 pm welcome to the program. anger over the deployment of armed federal forces to the u.s. to be a portland shows no signs of dying down president donald trump's decision to send in troops to stamp out nearly 2 months of anti-racism protests only aggravated the situation.

you know you're. right. the mayor portland was tear gassed by federal agents as he stood with protesters there the white house claims he's lost control of the city however over a dozen readers have already asked the trump administration what to remove federal forces from the overhaul plans to send them to other american cities protesters calls to defund the police have gotten louder since the arrival of federation federal agents as well. 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 left 15 people injured murders and shooting incidents in the city doubled in 2020 compared to 2019 the locals say the president's decision to send in

federal troops won't solve the crisis i think that the time and resources to be better spent in addressing the pandemic that affect 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 repeat will be continue it's not going to stop it is very dangerous to send federal agents the 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. you know this is not intelligent the most useful help with the bureau of alcohol. tobacco. 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 do mass shooting. the world health organization is sounding the alarm over coronavirus trends in europe calling them worrying it's fear these could spiral out into major outbreaks participator all over reports the sun. the sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions that be lifted or loosened 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 could 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 peaceful means that 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 cases 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 there's the differences in the precautions taken from country to country here in berlin it's strictly for boat to ride public transport without a mask while in norway 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 bringing cove 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 it countries 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 of 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 a 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 countries manage to strike a deal on tuesday and i have to post coronavirus stimulus package the french president held the recovery plan as historic however his optimism was not shared by his political opponents. this recovery plan is based on european solidarity is a historic change for the european union and the eurozone 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 mccrone 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 climate journalist the group day on sunday telegraph calmness and elizabeth want to share with us their views on the deal. for once they're out there on the same wavelength i mean the

left militant more and more independent right they both criticise with the same arguments that kind of michael mcconnell 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 seen in deep trouble and lot of it is just trying to politics they 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 complaining in 2017 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 when the deal so he said work with the dictionary and it's making his enemies very angry. tensions between the united states and china are ratcheting up beijing's foreign minister has slammed washington after it abruptly gave the republic to 72 hours on tuesday to show that the 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 trumpet ministration harsh words were also exchanged in public as far as closing 'd additional embassies it's always possible they were burning documents or burning papers drawers or move on time china strongly couldn't do. the decision in urges

the u.s. side to immediately rescind this wrong decision otherwise china will take legitimate and necessary counter measures 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 the u.s. says it ordered the conflict close to quote protect american intellectual property and private information on tuesday 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 to tear rating president trump recently revoked hong kong's preferential trade status he also moved 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

pandemic 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 one of 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 they 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 to carry this entire relationship is mike pompeo then goes on to our looking like he just walked off of the soprano's the public in the country is it comes and goes to look at each of our noiselessly and shake their heads. ask themselves is this great america it's roaming around the world like a bull in a china shop if you'll forgive the pun given the events 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 not worth or. are. on the agenda. they're really. really independently at what will it work or not there's an exchange that took a kind of political theater mr trump but the republicans aren't never called and thank you jane from there. they're now going to beat up on china and make the big deal out of all of the french and which will the average person is. really almost always eager they're easy to get around. so you change the rest of

the world nervous very strange way in which you are only. but. countries in the world. with relations tons down here on earth china is turning its attention toward space and the red planet in particular having just launched its 1st probation 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 one state for the 14th day in a row demonstrators threw rolls of toilet paper at the council of ministers there demanding the bulgarian prime minister's comments step down and get a russian an abuse of power tensions have intensified since the government survived a vote of no confidence prime minister announced today a series of changes to his continent 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 intentions to cut thousands of jobs globally $900.00 of them in spain city officials have appealed directly to the president to protect the country's aerospace industry. still have the mayor of a small german town fears he could be facing u.s. sanctions over his involvement in the north stream to project details on that story and more after this. join me. on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics this i'm show business i'll see you then.

no shots. actually. is to. switch your thirst for. china japan and america. the top 3 economies of the world yes so now they are like the tonic plates from moving away so that would be seismically significant. doesn't sound like a friendly cooperative globalized world and they. welcome

back we now have more for you on a developing situation and the ukrainian city of poltava where man is holding a police officer hostage and this threaten to detonate a grenade for more on this recross live to our citizenry or from the ocean what do we know at this point. how it all started when police in ukraine's northeastern city of poltava as you said tried to detain a man suspected of hijacking a call of a sudden the suspect grabbed one of the officers and was holding him tight while threatening to set off a grenade we heard that from ukraine's deputy interior minister who also added that there were negotiations later and the suspect agreed to release the officer in exchange for a local police chief and we also hear from the interior ministry of ukraine right now that they are currently driving around the city in that car together with the hostage and the criminal and no one can say what are their plans and what are the

criminals intentions of course and according to local media the suspect. 32 year old man who earlier was convicted of drug offenses and it comes just 2 days after that dramatic hostage situation in another city. of ukraine western part of the country this is what happened. and of course it all sparks concerns over a security situations situation in ukraine back to you artie's maria from those numbers across the latest for us thank you. the mayor of

a small german port town fears he could be facing the wrath of the u.s. government and the form of sanctions the city of northern germany is primarily known as a vacation spot however its mayor is also responsible for the port where ships working on the russian germany nordstrom to pipeline are docked america has imposed sanctions on anyone working on the project so after refusing to expel the vessels frank is now waiting to be hit by u.s. restrictions. both times mr sloan 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 in the construction of the north stream to pipeline washington has already imposed sanctions in the past to prevent its completion and declare the project a 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 nordstrom to began in may of 2018 sanctions slapped on vessels and companies involved in the project have temporarily halted work on it in 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 even local european politicians are in the crosshairs crocks again feels that the u.s. is political threats and 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 whole technomage 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. 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 it 49 percent of us of sins are apparently convinced mail in voting is susceptible to significant fraud and 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 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 gen doesn't precinct at a time as we always do with a totally new way of getting the ballots in is just beyond reach it's 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. and it separates them mentally and emotionally and in terms of their daily lives from that very sure process of standing in the voting booth and participating in their cars to to shuttle duty and right and i do not believe that is a good direction for america go u.s. 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 . lastly on a lighter note you might not associate pyramids with football but they become the backdrop for one freestyler to show off his skills at controlling the ball and a major european club is among those that have been left impressed.
