and that's again something that people probably find quite surprising or shocking. trance as he would ban the chinese video sharing app to talk from operating in the u.s. classes fellow republicans worry beijing could use it to meddle in america's upcoming presidential elections. the world health organization warns coronavirus is not seasonal but rather one big wave after the easing of lockdowns across the world and a rise in the number of code victims. people sought you know lockdowns over that it was somehow go away and unfortunately that's not the case what you've got transmission anywhere is potentially everywhere. and in delays the easing of covert restrictions apply to growth in new cases as a study finds most people up puzzled by the lock down rule. to leave the

music we don't know what would be. just too long to leave. you do you deserve. a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me making arun our top story president trump has announced he's banning the popular chinese video sharing app to take talk washington is worried that beijing could use the platform to spy on us users and the application has millions of fans around the world and unleashed a wave of generation that creativity tightly woven into short clips saskia taylor needing little encouragement takes a look at who else in the u.s. believes there's more to take talk than meets the eye. that's up one. night at face. why don't internet would be better and in the

us no they can't be they wouldn't do that twice we greatly concerned that the chinese communist party could use its control of it to don't to distort or manipulate these conversations to sow discord among americans and to achieve its preferred political outcome i can't believe it all these years i think that the only thing dangerous up to talk was that it wasted my time away to use but no now it turns out that beijing has been using me for political gain that's the group of republican senators to try to the us intelligence the f.b.i. and security by that so so it must be true it's not like us politicians have previously battens free play to country the meddling in its democratic processes and it all turned out to be a witch hunt and you know what looking back now there was so many signs though all these videos of people talking politics.

and of course we got the trunk. and then next year we get the bad. google will win the election in 2021. season most people are going crazy john but the winner of the present counteraction on 2020 will be donald trump the coronavirus doesn't cooperate one person i know was so i'm voting for. them and it gets worse to trust not just spin to fear and elections it's also spying on us what do you recommend that people download that up on their phones tonight tomorrow any time currently oh if you want your private information in the hands of the chinese government it's part of the communist party so my double chin when i opened up the front camera how embarrassing but also how to ferry us here i thought take off just the board th string synchronized on say. american companies

would never do something like that right facebook thank god we are getting rid of that chinese virus amp tech top you know facebook does the same thing right now way he says city doesn't understand that i didn't get a face for use not live t.v. for good enough job times to top the bad just my luck set joyner is building its own version of the internet focused on very different ideas and they're exporting their vision to other countries you know what we don't even need to talk and wait facebook came up with the pope sorry version of lasso all by itself so that to take it down because it's so bad but teething problems the 2nd version will be much better but i still can't get over how the out of the blue the soreness why would china do this to people who only have to want to democracy and peace in the world so all that trade war and closing of the seal to it ok fine make a vision of the china virus and yeah i'm going to try and tell them what to do with

our territory and shoulda been grinding down the hallway office saying everyone around the globe to do the same but it's not like that targeted or anything china drew them to it look at naughty behavior it just never listens and now it's making up some lame excuse for why take tops not wanted on us shores let's focus our energies on fair and open competition in service of our consumers rather than maligning attacks by our competitor namely facebook disguised as patriotism and designed to put an end to our very presence in the us. i mean that's just ridiculous so you do yourself a competition that's why it's forced everyone to say no way to go our way so we can go there 1st with 5 g. then i think we need to take a moment to remember the real victims in all of this so you guys we have a dilemma and hearing that take up might be behind in america and this is the problem i just started becoming famous and i only have 100 people where's your joy

that you have like 15000000 followers or ticks are learning more of very intense are to you're going to get a regular job well the clock's ticking no time to waste so take took you know to talk. yeah it is but we didn't come up with that i know you didn't. that's going to be a problem why you you love free markets of course we do if we pay and if it's what would you say a ban is on the table. one last i'm listening oh i don't know yet how does out in november. tick tock tick tock i don't have all day i've got pandemics to fight in the civil unrest of course. to so your band probably by the way i'm not sure how to read them facebook's ask. the

world health organization is now warning the coronavirus isn't seasonal like the flu but instead is just one big wave and i thought the lock downs were eased leading to another spike in coated cases but w.h.o. says that this summer is no time to relax. the transmission is still there so the concern was that people saw it you know lockdowns over that it was somehow it go away they had this idea that it might come back later in the year but they had this seemed to be this fixed idea that now it was summer time to party and unfortunately that's not the case why you got transmission anywhere is potentially everywhere what we mean by one big wave is that it continues to remain but you need to bring it down you need to bring it down so that those who will get most ill and you will have that percentage of people who get most ill can get the treatment they need immediately in your hospitals are not overwhelmed and your hospitals can do the other things in need to be doing to save the lives of those people who get lots of

other illnesses. many countries are calling on people to again where masks in greece they are compulsory here in close places while in france they're mandatory and work. is covering the face is essential in busy parts of the city and many u.s. states are also returning to practice and world health organization spokesperson margaret harris that says masks can help control the outbreak. so we say if you cannot socially distance especially if you're in a crowded place with pool ventilation so that's where you don't have the fresh air in dispersing the droplets in the aerosols we say that a face covering is a means of preventing the source of the droplets search you from going into the air and potentially infecting other people again i'm sure that there's those who are really vulnerable are being given the right advice of be given the right information and should and should know how to protect themselves and what they can

do if they're not confident that that it's safe for them to go out they should be able to be again their own best risk manager or manager should be empowered to be that nobody should oblige people to do something that they don't feel is safe. the covert pandemic is putting the planet on the brink of a new environmental crisis according to the u.n. the threat comes from increased plastic pollution due to use disposable masks gloves and other percent protective equipment reports. the war against plastic was being one we would hold governments around the world with banning single use plastics and making us think more about plastics friends canada is an important player in the larger global movement to reduce plastic pollution in the u.k. is one of those countries that is committed to making sure that 30 percent of the world's oceans are fully protected but a government is phasing out single use play stick shopping bags over the next year

but then came home to stop the spread of the virus single items of fruit found themselves bound up in plastic coffee companies shifting back again to single use cups while in the u.k. an outright ban on plastic stores and stirs has been delayed due to the pandemic people to have covered up with disposable gloves and masks. countries having to hold of millions of those to me to mount the united nations though is warning that many will end up here the streets are rubbish plastic pollution was already one of the greatest threats to our planet before the crown of our south break the sudden boom in the daily use of certain products to keep people safe and stop the disease is making things much worse the fear of them becoming part of the little problem has pushed many governments to issue fines in france improperly discarding a mass could land you with

a penalty of 135 euros which could easily go up to 750 us if the issue gets escalated to court there is hefty fines that you seem to fail to prevent masks like this ending up not just on the streets but also you know sees this video from one french organize ation the regularly cleans up later in the sea shows the scale of the issue it's one the problem is the joy it would cool loves 1 masks and bottles of hand sanitizer now floating beneath the waves of old. before k.v. 19 we found is 0 masks its new pollution to clean news we already had plastic banks plastic cups trees and now this mosques also contains plastic in fact it's not widely known but a mass can take up to 600 years to degrade and they will fragment into little plastic no the coolest and these are going to enter into the food chain i want

people to reuse will not wash them and 3 where it will cost less and they will be less thrown away many masks contain plastics such as polypropylene that takes 450 years to decompose and the french government is being lost to. the extent of this environmental pollution should alert us because these masks passing from sidewalks to waterways will inevitably end up in nature or in. the city with a lifespan of 450 years this equipment constitutes a veritable ecological time bomb obviously a house solution must not generate a global environmental crisis it's not just plastic that is causing concern in china dramatic air quality improvements will see you neutering looked down even more now but vanished as manufacturing has been ramped up to 3 levels on this concern that elsewhere to eat a pig to stave off the collapse of many companies particularly the oil and gas industries they may be asking for special dispensation. there's

a serious risk that polluters could emerge from this crisis bolder and potentially more profitable than ever many one stole the silver lining of code being 19 could be the chance to heal the planet to live in a way that's more harmonious with nature it seems the reality could be the fall from the tree so over to the ski aussie paris. meanwhile england has delayed the easing of lockdown restrictions fighting a rise in the number of covert cases the measures were to be lifted on the 1st of august but will now stay in place for at least 2 weeks the u.k. health secretary explains the change. well we made the announcement last night we moving quickly in some circumstances it is absolutely crystal clear what the new rules are and we've brought them in to target specific theory the problems that

we've been able to see through data. this comes as the new study reveals that most people in england do not have a clear understanding of coronavirus guidelines a far greater proportion get the current measures in scotland and wales however when the same rules apply throughout the u.k. back in march there was much more knowledge across the board. u.k. lockdown rules vary depending on the country anywhere from $6.00 to $30.00 people from up to 5 households are allowed to gather outdoors social distancing also varies from $1.00 to $2.00 metres indoors england allows 2 households to makes while in northern ireland up to 4 can come together well as people in the streets of london if they thought the guidelines were clear enough. in the paralympic music there were many knows exactly what's allowed or they should be doing to mislead people a little bit mix yeah the date is. like.

this too long to leave. the pages it changes over time it's very unclear they do this but don't do that but don't get it to say that either it's one thing or the other thing it's i just think it's like it's something in between everyone does. it in a way. they get to do much much better than the rules are pretty clear on the news and that kind of thing i'm not sure people always respect the rules and groups and other things like what i think i think in general we've done alright and staying in the u.k. a leading care home provider has hit out of the government's failure to provide covert testing for staff and residence authorities reportedly blamed delays on supply as my pageant head of the independent care group told us that testing is key as care homes have been coronavirus hotspots there ought to mean a sheen or a in the in the government to bend over testing for quite seen in care homes in the

country after all the n.h.s. is in the front line is getting us testing done i think our social care should be equal priority from what i've seen nationally of what's happening to us personally that have been delays in the testing which is not good enough i believe there has been some folks with some of the tests and there's not lack of progress it's not gone very well i just hope it picks up for the future because testing people is actually important to keep this virus at bay so it didn't go well in the beginning it's still got problems this month the government announced plans to test a care home staff weekly with residents getting checked around once a month was on top of regular tests already in place. according to the office for national statistics almost 20000 people died of coded in care homes between march and june that accounts for us a 3rd of all deaths in care homes during that period my pancham again believes the government should have handled the crisis much better. we are what we are now what i think the government stop would be to the group of things differently i just like

them sometimes to say actually they could of course it better maybe apologize when they haven't got it right some acceptable for you know for the gum to say something one day and expect to be protected the next day when the government is not is not allowing us to do what we need to do i just am going forward we will learn the lessons and what we do get the 2nd way which seems more likely now or the 2nd sparkles should should say is that we are lessons and make sure. we do all things better. some updates for you now russia's far eastern city of copper artist has entered a 4th weekend of protests in support of his former governor so gay for girl was detained last month of charges of organizing murders 15 years ago his arrest sparked an outcry in the area and he had become popular for his social policies some citizens claim the charges against him are politically motivated. violence has broken out as chile's indigenous must reach a community protest against the imprisonment of their spiritual guide and other

members who have gone on hunger strike the demonstrators insist those jails are political prisoners and broke through police barricades. neighboring argentina is suffering mass wildfires with habitats destroyed across the wetlands of the program the river delta the government has sent planes helicopters and firefighters to combat the outbreaks the environment minister has blamed livestock non-sensible the plague for. the u.s. economy continues to suffer congress is still providing the pentagon with more financial aid but its own citizens more on this story after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move this on off and speed. really dramatic developments only really engaging i don't see how that strategy will be successful

very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

the pandemic has contributed to one of the worst economic situations in modern u.s. history congress has failed to agree on an extension of emergency national unemployment benefits but while 25000000 paid people out of work of lost their payments the pentagon is getting more financial aid kind of open explains. the economic wounds imposed by the pandemic across the united states are still open and bleeding last week 30000000 americans were declared to be food in secure meanwhile 12000000 americans who are renters are in the process of possibly losing their homes due to the fact that the evictions moratorium has expired so you would think that some of these folks would be a priority however take a look at the congressional republicans proposed economic relief package no it's

not a mistake he proposed heels act contains nothing to help out local governments nutritional assistance the postal service but what it does include is hundreds of millions of dollars for combat vehicles attack helicopters bombers and fighter jets keep in mind this is supposed to be a bill addressing the economic problems created by the pandemic in total $29400000000.00 is being offered to the pentagon that has inspired 70 antiwar and progressive organizations to call for change the combined annual budgets of the centers for disease control and prevention the national institute of health and the annual us contributions to the world health organization together equal just 7 percent of the annual pentagon budget if not spending was in line with actual human security needs at home and abroad prior to the crisis we may have been better prepared to confront the global pandemic. now the cherry on top of everything is the bill also includes a $1000000000.00 to build

a new headquarters for the f.b.i. given what's it doing in a coronavirus bill life and the bill on the president's made clear that this isn't what he wants to see it's not a deal breaker what the priority here is unemployment benefits as the president sat in that is the ultimate priority and has nothing to do with the coronavirus it has nothing to do with a stimulus plan they're pushing forward money that's being spent anyway and these they're not saying we're going to build more f. $35.00 or build more apache helicopters they're saying we're pushing forward spending on it which is totally pointless they probably won't be built until the next year anyway. it's not creating many jobs it's not doing anything it's just throwing money at the military industrial complex and $1.00 of the things they found out is that the pentagon cannot spend and doesn't want to report it they cannot spend all the money they get allocated each year from the congress and so

rather than give the money back to the treasury and enable that tax rate to go down they don't want to have their budget go down because then the next year they won't get as much money so what they do is they hide the fact that they haven't spent all the money. this spending bill proposed to address the economic problems resulting from the pandemic certainly can change many items but in all the billions of dollars proposed to be spent the american people themselves don't seem to be much of a priority it will mop and artsy new york. the e.u. has imposed its 1st ever travel and financial sanctions on entities from russia china and north korea over their alleged involvement in fiber attacks around the globe they move with quickly hey look in the west daniel hawkins how the story.

sanctions and counter sanctions have become all too familiar part and parcel of international politics and diplomacy in recent years this is the 1st time however that the e.u. has directly targeted rochelle or russia linked entities. as a punishment for alleged involvement in cyber warfare cyber attacks now aside from moscow they target north korea and china and involve travel by. phrases this of course comes as punishment for alleged involvement in high profile cyber attacks around the world one of these is the not somewhere which of course thought that a russian as well as foreign firms as well as a series of other hacking incidents links to hacking groups such as lazarus and sand were now the russian foreign ministries response was reflected in this statement as we've seen multiple times over the years summed up that everything in diplomacy is reciprocal the decision taken by the e.u.

consul was made without any proof with the thought that pretends to finish movement in some cyber incidents that took place in the past the political rationale for this tempest clear certainly the e.u.'s unfriendly action will not be left unanswered now as well as entity several individuals working for russian military intelligence are also been sanctioned for their alleged involvement in the attempted hacking attack against the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of nuclear weapons which took place back in april 28th team because all decided to impose restrictive measures against 6 individuals and 3 entities responsible for or involved in various cyber attacks these include the attempted cyber attack against the o.p.c. w. and those publicly known as wanna cry. and operation cloud harbor now the united states which of course itself imposed sanctions on north korea just last year for that country's alleged involvement in cyber warfare was very quick to praise the.

opinions move calling for good behavior in the cyber world bad behavior in cyberspace should incur consequences we approve the e.u.'s 1st cyber sanctions designations will continue to work with the e.u. member states and like minded countries to promote a framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace there was also a welcome from the u.k. foreign office for the sanctions with london stating they've been at the forefront of the battle against cyber warfare globally and they themselves have identified some of these individuals and entities responsible for these alleged cyber attacks it's not entirely clear at this stage what exact evidence the e.u. has provided to link these individuals and entities through these cyber attacks nor of course if there are any assets or accounts to actually freeze it is clear though that this is a strong show of force from the european union at the expense of the usual familiar suspects russia china and north korea seemingly at the expense of any improvement

in relations with moscow thanks for joining us there on r.t. international we're back at the top of the hour with all the latest headlines. gandhian by north sami people because they copied him he's so good that even such a bad puppy is sending. i'm not killed to tell anybody and. i'm here to find the next guy. who looked up live on. sunday and fell to feed the dog she even dumped the attempt .

to deflect some 40 c.e.o. thing is a deflection what is her to say. that is a god given that i got up from idiots are. going to laugh about. that you can thank god you probably get nothing like a. long long while and then he goes along the bottom the shopping the street your life in control cannot all. handle a new person and later today move 100 gandhi a new law alone gunned. down the peace prize to go to you then to mock you then damon join you. 54 jobs and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air

force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced us military presence in this area rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so. of added 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.

welcome to the kaiser report who can forget the 19 sixty's classic paranoid dystopian comedy dr strangelove well at the time it seemed far fetched so now stacey max when i look at dr strangelove and i look at the cold war and i look at the crazy things that happened in the fifty's and sixty's and seventy's with all the sort of programs like we mentioned m.k. ultra but also there really insane sort of nuclear technology that was being developed it to me looks like what our central banks are doing with our financial system.
