in democratic practices. world. question the. headline stories this hour the world health organization sees the cruelty of. seasonal disease but occurring as wall and found. a rethink we hear from their representatives. people still you know. that somehow go away and unfortunately that's not the case but you can't transmission anyway it's potentially every way. the leading provider in the u.k. claims regular testing promised by the government for this sector won't take place know until september we get reaction now and i think somebody should be could have done things differently i just like them sometimes to say actually they could have

done better to make it public just by having got it right. this delaying the easing of covert restrictions signing a growth in you case is a study in the country finds that most people are puzzled by their own rules. a mistake has been incredibly easy we don't know what's what's going. to get it's too long to leave just hundreds of pages and pages of. ahead donald trump the chinese video sharing tech talk is to be bombed in the u.s. so it comes as fellow republicans allege that you could use it to meddle in america's upcoming presidential election. one minute past 9 am in mexico city 9 pm in jakarta and 5 in the evening right here in moscow this sunday august the 1st well. come to the program. the world health

organization is not a warning the coronavirus is not seasonal like the flu but instead is happening as one big wave comes after lockdowns ruiz leading to another spike in covert victims friday saw the biggest there are dealing crease in coronavirus cases reaching almost 300000 across the globe the w.h.o. say snow is not the time to relax the transmission is still there so the concern was that people thought you know lockdowns over that it was somehow would go away they had this idea that it might come back later in the year but they had this seem to be this fixed idea that now is some time to ponty and unfortunately that's not the case why you've 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 they need to be doing to save the lives of those people who get lots of other illnesses many countries which ease their long tones or in our calling on people to again we're mosques some examples in greece the are compulsory in enclosed places while in france there are munda triode work. covering the face is essential in busy parts of the city and many u.s. states are also bringing back the proctor's world health organization spokesperson margaret horace again so these masks can help control the outbreak. so we say if you cannot socially distance especially if you're in a crowded place with pull the intonation 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 set so 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 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 and they should be empowered to be that nobody should oblige people to do something that they don't feel is safe. and it is the elderly who have been hit disproportionately hard leading to a leading care home provider in the u.k. hitting some of the government's failure to provide covert testing for staff and residents authorities reportedly blame but the laser suppliers know mike parker who is head of the international care group told us that testing is key care homes have been cruel of our results. there ought to mean a sheen or a in the in need government to mend their testing for quite seen in care homes in

the country after all the n.h.s. is an affront mine is getting is testing done i think a special case should get equal priority from what i've seen nationally and what is happening just personate 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 this is not the progress is not gone very well i just hope for the future because testing people is actually important to keep this virus but he so it didn't go well in the beginning it still got problems yes some background here this month the government announced plans to test her home stuff weekly with residents getting checked around once a month that is on top of regular tests already in place however due to a problem with tests from an on name supplier it will now take up to 5 weeks before the can begin. according to the office for national statistics almost 20000 people died of cove it in care homes supreme march june and out of control was the 3rd of all deaths in care homes during the period like problem again believes the

government should have handled the crisis much better we are where we are now and i think the government's up admitted it could have done things differently i just like them sometimes to say actually they could have done 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 admitted to the next day when the government is not some is not allowing us to do what we need to do i just hope going forward we will learn the lessons and when we do get the 2nd way which seems more likely now or the 2nd speicher's you should say is that we are lessons and make sure it's it's we deal with things better. well just lost points on an overall scale the u.k. england in fact in particular has seen a spike in corona virus cases but that did not deter thousands from hitting the beach resort of bryson on friday people flooded to the seaside in search of relief from the hottest day of the year so far that

a mandate which of course comes from sunshine is believed to help fight the disease but few respected social distancing between one and the other it came as the government announced the lays to be easing of lock done restrictions blaming a new rallies in cold cases the measures were to be lifted today saturday but will not stay in place for at least a fortnight the u.k. health secretary explain the change. well we've 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 talk specifically the problems that we've been able to see through date yet one other aspect and you still be has revealed that most people in england don't have a clear understanding of coronavirus guidelines and a far greater proportion of the current measures in scotland wales however when the same rules applied throughout the u.k. back in march there was much more knowledge across the board. well u.k.

locked own rules vary depending country the country in the u.k. any where from 6 to 30 people from up to 5 high schools are allowed to gather right door social distancing also varies from one to 2 meters and then indoors and then to allow us to households to mix while in northern ireland up to 4 families can come together we asked people in london if all that was easy to understand. and the kind of thing using no meaning is exactly what's allowed or what they should be doing even people little bit makes yeah that dates with. the dead know what to look. to get it's too long to leave. hundreds of pages that changes over time is very unclear thank goodness they don't do that it's just that the don't get it is sacked that either it's one thing or the

other thing it's i just think it's like it's something in between everyone is and if in a way. they get to do much much better i think the rules are pretty clear on the news not kind of thing but 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 alright. well the coded pandemic is putting the plummet now in the brink of a new environmental crisis according to the un the problem being the increased plastic pollution due to use this supposable must gloves and other protective equipment with more on all the charlotte events again. 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 plastic footprints 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 close 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 and stirs 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 meet demand the united nations though is warning that many will end up here the streets are 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 euros which could easily go up to $750.00 us if the issue gets escalated court there is hefty fines that you seem to fail to prevent masks like this and they end up not just on the streets but also you know sees this video from one french organize ation that regularly cleans up later in the sea shows the scale of the issue it's war and the problem is the giant with who loves mask. and bottles of hand sanitizer now floating beneath the waves of. before could be 90 we found is 0 its new pollution totally new we already had plastic banks plastic bottles cups trees and now this mosques also contain 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 normally cubes and these are going to enter into the food chain i want people to wear more of the reuse will not wash them and re wear them it will cost less and it will be less thrown away many masks contain plastics such as polypropylene that takes 415 years to decompose and the french government is being tossed 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 sea moreover with a lifespan of 450 years this equipment constitutes a veritable ecological time bomb obviously a health 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 locked down even more now but vanished as manufacturing has been running back to the point it levels and this concern that elsewhere to wait

a week to stave off the collapse of many companies particularly that 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 once thought the silver lining of holding 900 could be the chance to heal the planet is to live in a way that's more harmonious with nature it seems the reality couldn't be farther from the tree so it's even ski off to see paris. recent stories from across the globe starting in russia the far eastern city of. homs entered a 4th weekend of protests in support of its former governor for a gal was the tane last month on charges of organizing murders 50 years ago shortly after his arrest was signed by president putin his arrest sparked a cry in the area and became popular for his social policies some citizens claim

the charges against him are politically motivated also. lots of people in the german capital protesting against coronavirus misuse which they had believed violate their rights and freedoms demonstrators gathered on to the slogan end of the day of freedom while marching without face masks holding signs that one called its existence but the protest comes as germany has recorded an upturn in infections in the post them birthday. to south america where violence broke out on those chile's indigenous month community protesting against the imprisonment of their spiritual leader and other members who have all called on hunger strike they were jailed for allegedly attacking the reeling a train the demonstrators who broke through police barricades insists the group are political prisoners. are reaching through neighboring

argentina with the strong leader across the wetlands of the river delta the government has sent planes helicopters and firefighters to come to. the environment minister has blamed livestock ranchers for the fires. and watching our national still ahead donald trump changes his mind on security arrangements and the protest. story on more. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation because you didn't see. you going the right way or are you being led. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

just 17 minutes past 5 pm here in moscow welcome back president trump has announced he will bomb the popular chinese video sharing up to talk within the next 24 hours washington is worried that beijing could use the platform to spy on us users the application has millions of phones around the world and unleashed a wave of generations of creativity woven into short clips there are unconfirmed reports that american textile and microsoft is in talks to buy a saucy tailor needing little encouragement takes a look at who else in the u.s. believes there is more to tech talk than meets the. eye that out one. all nice in fact. 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 youths but no now it turns out that beijing has been using me for political gain than that of 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 not like us politicians have previously battens free played country to many of 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 go having one person no worse 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 0 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 sex and. american companies would never do something like that right facebook thank god we are getting rid of that chinese virus app tech top you know facebook does the same thing right now way he says city doesn't understand that side to get space for use not private data from

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 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 a one to democracy and peace in the world so less that trade war and closing in on the seal to lead 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 the hallway off holes in 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 i mean do you also healthy competition that's why it's forced everyone to say no way to walk away so we can go that far with fire then i think we need to take a moment to remember the real victims in one of this so you guys we have a dilemma and hearing that to talk maybe beyond in america and this is the problem i just started becoming famous and i only have 100 paul where's your job don't you have like 15000000 followers or ticks are learning more the basics 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 it's a hit yeah it is. but we didn't come up with that.

i know you didn't yeah that's going to be a problem why you you're not free markets the schools we do if we pay enough and 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 up and demick to fight in the civil unrest to force. to so your band probably by the way i'm not sure how to read them facebook's ask saskia taylor taking us through developments there earlier i spoke to victor garber career is chair professor at university he is very much of the few that u.s. citizens will be hurt by the. i think of this ban on tiktaalik by the u.s. government is very very sad and very unfortunate to be condemned to be deplored but

it also reveals how weak the u.s. government has become the devil every way in all directions 1st of all ways e.g. and now even to talk i think this is really really very sad day for the u.s. and eventually the victims will be those hundreds of millions of people who are loath to talk everywhere in the world's soul it will be a day marked in history as a day of infamy it destroys market competition it destroys open competition and it destroys the what the u.s. has been upholding for many many decades. president trumps a federal law enforcement will stay in portland oregon until order is restored it comes just hours after he threatened to replace them with national guard troops of violence stretches into the weekend and they protest plague setting. ah.

friday night saul rests on previously but demonstrations against the deployment of militarized federal agents there continues the trouble ministration has started withdrawing some officers in the line of the pledge by authorities on thursday but the process seems to have been put on hold for a certain kerry susman portland state university saying is the president's u. turn could be a reelection campaign ploy. president truman is giving mixed messages is very much. part of his repertoire. puts out negative messages to test the reaction i believe is very much a public relations president. many of the things that he says is actually targeted for his base is political base and doesn't necessarily intend to carry out the policies that he initially announces he made want to escalate it to

provoke violence because we all 'd have a memory those of us who are old enough of a memory of $68.00 during the democratic party convention when there were police riots in streets and the backlash which was carried on television or the media. brought to power a law and order president richard nixon and perhaps you know alone to train people are thinking about that they like to escalated to create a message of fear and the american public and. felicity hosting continuous rioting in recent weeks 18 year old portland protester faces 20 years in jail on arson charges he is accused of hurling a bomb at the courthouse prosecutors argue it could have caused severe injuries the defendants. he was told it was a small firework when it was given to him by another demonstrator federal agents

have a party you know we make some use it we chant we educate each other and talk and that's that's what i see going on. a lot is how the news stories are shaping up on this the 1st day of august we'll keep the updates coming at the top of the hour in the meantime more great programs get going in moments sit tight so you. 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 cola gobble e or monopoly and they gouge it's price gouging and he's right to try to dismantle that but without that kind of preview for these drugs for these companies

that however i don't see how they're going to command the multiples they do on the stock market so he's he's got to that's the thing he's either going to take a 50 percent hit on the stock market or is going to lose a lot of people that need the drugs. thank you because you need to come the ones we got in our shoes no problem why is he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired we don't need a crate with him he will just stir reaching out into the wall when it's pretty much anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs are caged in the in 2 main conditions on puppy farm i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the founder nothing they have no protection. going to get them you. know to get to kids. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and stores most of the puppies that
