join me every thursday on the island so i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm sure both of those i'll see you then. donald trump says he will ban the chinese video sharing optic talk from operating in the u.s. as a fellow republicans worry beijing could use it to meddle in america's upcoming presidential election. the world health organization warns coronavirus it is not seasonal but rather one big wave after the easing of lockdowns across the world and a rise in the number of covert victims. people saw you know lockdowns over then it was somehow would go away and unfortunately that's not the case what you've got transmission anywhere is potentially everywhere. and wind delays the easing of covert restrictions finding a growth in new cases as

a study finds most people are puzzled by the law down the road. to the music we don't know what. it. is too long to leave. you just to see the time. a warm welcome you're watching r t international with me nicky air and our top story president trump has announced he's banning the popular chinese video sharing optic talk washington is worried the beijing could use the platform to spy on us users the application has millions of fans around the world and unleashed a wave of generations the creativity tightly woven into short clips taylor needing this will encourage men to take a look at who else in the u.s. believes there's more to tick talk than meets the eye. that's up one.

night at favorite. 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 easy as i think that the only thing dangerous up to talk was that it wasted my time away 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 bash intelligence the f.b.i. and the spirit by that so so it must be true it's all a us politicians of previously bad and 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 you 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 kill everyone person i know was so i'm voting for. them and it gets worse to just not just interfering in 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 yeah if you want your private information in the hands of the chinese government is 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 up just the board th thing synchronized on 2nd and. 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 over 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 like mark said 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 code 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 a one to democracy and peace in the world so less 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 i shoulda been grinding down our way all seeing 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 want to see also the competition that's why it's forced everyone to say no way to walk away so we can go there 1st if i 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 a top might be behind in america and this is the problem i just started becoming

famous and i only have 100 paul where's your joy don't 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 courts today no time to waste so take took you know to talk. it is. but are we didn't come up with that i know you didn't yeah that's going to be probably 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. are huge too so your band probably by the way i'm not sure how to read them facebook to ask. the

world health organization is now warning that coronavirus that isn't seasonal like the flu but instead is just one big wave that's not a lock downs with easts leading to another spike in coated victims friday saw the biggest ever daily increase in corona virus cases reaching almost 300000 across the globe the w.h.o. says that this summer is no time to relax. the transmission is still there so the concern was that people saw you know lockdowns over that it was somehow 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 their compulsory and in close places while in france they're mandatory work saddam's those covering the face is essential in busy parts of the city and many u.s. states are also returning to the practice well health organization spokesperson margaret harris sais that mosques 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 those who are really

vulnerable are being given the right advice 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 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. private 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 protective equipment reports. the war against plastic was being won we were told governments around the world were 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 the u.k.

one of those countries that's committed to making sure that 30 percent of the world's oceans are fully protected but a government is phasing out single use price 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 stools amster has been delayed due to the pandemic people to have covered up with disposable gloves and masks with countries having to . billions of those to me to mount the united nations though is warning that many will end up here in the streets as 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 litter problem has

pushed many governments to issue fines in france improperly discarding a mass could land you with a penalty of $135.00 euros which could easily go up to $750.00 us if the issue gets escalated to court there is hefty fines they 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 pull loves masks and bottles of hand sanitizer now floating beneath the waves of old. before k.v. $900.00 we found is 0 masks its new pollution to clean news we already had plastic banks plastic bottles 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 cutest and these are going to enter into the food chain i want people to have the reuse will not wash them and agree with them it will cost less and there 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 say more. with a lifespan of 450 years this equipment constitutes a veritable ecological time bomb obviously a how solution must not generate a global environmental crisis it's not just plastic to this causing concern in china dramatic air quality improvements for c.u. during lockdown now but vanished as manufacturing has been ramped up to 3 levels

on this concern that elsewhere too in the peak to stave off 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 be 90 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. the u.k. and england in particular have seen a spike in coronavirus cases but that didn't deter thousands from the beach resort of brighton on friday people flooded to the seaside in search of relief on the hottest day of the year so far and this can be seen few respected social distancing it came on the same day the government announced delays to the easing of lockdown restrictions claiming

a new rise in coded 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 explained 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 specifically the problems that we've been able to see through to date as comes as a 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 you can look down rules vary depending on the country anywhere from 6 to 30 people from up to 5 households are allowed to gather outdoors social distancing also varies from one or 2 metres indoors in england allows 2 households to mix 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. stick in the head of the music they were really knows exactly what's allowed or what they should be doing to mislead people a little bit. yeah the date is. what. it . is too long to leave. hundreds of pages and pages of time it's very unclear if 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 the 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 one of them but i think in general we've done all right and staying in the u.k.

leading care home provider has hit out of the government's failure to provide covert testing for staff and residents authours he's reportedly a blame delays on supply of 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 rate 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 frontline it's getting us testing done i think our social care should be equal priority from what i've seen nationally of what's happening just personally that there 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 market but he said it didn't go well in the beginning it still got problems this month the government's announced plans to test care home staff weekly with residents getting checked around once

a month that's on top of regular tests already in place. according to the office for national statistics almost 200001000 people died of covert in care homes between march and june that accounts for almost 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 where we are now and i think the government started which of the group things differently i just like them sometimes to say actually they could of course it done better maybe apologize when they haven't got it right some acceptable for you know for the going to say something one day and expect to be repeated 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 all the 2nd sparkles should should say is that we are lessons and make sure it's we do all things better. some world updates for you now russia as far east in city of carbon

ross has entered a 4th week of protests weekend of protests in support of its former governor so if a girl was detained last month on charges of organizing murders 15 years ago his arrest sparked an outcry in the area as he has become a popular become very popular for his social policies some citizens claim the charges against him are politically motivated. violence and broken out as chile's indigenous most pichay community protested against the imprisonment of their spiritual guide and other members who have gone on hunger strike the demonstrators insist those jails are political prisoners broke through police barricades. neighboring argentina are suffering mounts 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 environment minister has blamed livestock ranches called legacy. filter can be u.s. economy continues to suffer but congress is still providing the pentagon with more

financial aid to the folks that took loans more our best after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the death. or a made in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the elec simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back the pandemic has contributed to one of the worst economic situations in modern u.s. history congress has failed to agree on the extension of emergency national unemployment benefits but while 25000000 people out of work of lost their payments the pentagon is getting more financial aid caleb maupin 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 the 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 that sharing 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 contains many items but not

all the billions of dollars proposed to be spent the american people themselves don't seem to be much of a priority it would mop an artsy new york. a you has imposed his 1st ever travel and financial sanctions on entities from russia china and north korea ivan i would like to involvement in cyber attacks around the globe the move was quickly hailed in the west he's done a whole can south a 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 russia 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 bans asset freezes and this of course comes as punishment for alleged involvement and high profile

cyber attacks around the world one of these is the. which of course targeted russian as well as foreign firms as well as a series of other hacking incidents links to hacking groups such as lazarus and sound we're now the russian foreign ministry is 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. unfriendly action will not be left unanswered now as well as entity several individuals working for russian military intelligence i've 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. kills 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 one a 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 you. opinions move calling for good behavior in the cyber world bad behavior in cyberspace should incur consequences we applaud 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 a cow 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 here on r.t. enter national and days they were there you know neil will be here with the latest in 30 minute. if there was competition or free market competition in drugs in america the price would be low that's the beauty of free market capitalism the fact that you don't have free market capitalism for drug prices in america shows you have an entrenched
