3:02 am
closed now there is no longer any space for people in the seats there's going to transfer after a little wait for the next arriving at lampedusa and then the routing for cities so we can have a chance you know honestly it's under severe pressure right now. in the meantime france and the u.k. are trading accusations after a record number of illegal channel crossings over the past week london has paris to adopt a tougher stance and stop the migrant boats before they even set sail for the u.k. on the show do when he has the story. this small boat is powering its way towards the english coast a board of 5 migrants hoping to make the u.k. that final destination scenes like this have become colman with illegal migrant crossings opening this channel already said to be a wreck or. now there are warnings that they could reach crisis
3:03 am
levels exacerbating tensions between london and paris the number of illegal small boat crossings we are seeing from france is unacceptably high and migrants continue to arrive in cali to make the crossing the french have to take tougher action those tough words came off to the interior ministers of both countries signed an agreement to create a new joint police intelligence unit the idea is to combat migrant traffickers and reduce the number of illegal channel forcings but so far it doesn't seem to be working just last week unwanted records were broken in a single day more than 200 migrants managed to make the crossing making it safely to the beaches at kent before being intercepted by british border force patrols the good weather and calm conditions are said to be aiding a rifle's operation is still ongoing in the english channel this afternoon over
3:04 am
3700 so far this year i expect august to be even bigger as the government is doing nothing one woman head of the u.k. border force says all illegal migrants need to be returned to france. if they want to come to the u.k. they need to make their case on the french side and if they are found in the waterways we've make it is far as dover will say i'm sorry but you go back there and that's where you will be interviewed and processed on the french side others warn the increasing crossings is due to french police running. bring up the vixens at my current camps around the port kalai has more anguish refugees in cali as if they were just once again clear settlements force people on to boston and drive them to distant nations are known the british home office though says any illegal migrants will be interviewed and deported where appropriate the french are also
3:05 am
intercepting some illegal crossings but plenty are still slipping through what is clear is that despite joint cooperation to deal with illegal crossings the problem not only persists but it could actually be getting worse so much even ski r.t. paris. president donald trump has backtracked on earlier threats to prevent the purchase of the chinese own by microsoft he's now saying instead that the u.s. government should get a cut from the sale. date of around september 15th at which point it's going to be out of business in the united states but if somebody whether it's microsoft or somebody else buys it that will be interesting i did say. if you buy whatever the price is that goes to whoever owns it because i guess it's china essentially but more than anything else i said a very substantial portion of the price is going to have to come into the treasury
3:06 am
of the united states mikes of the so that it's looking to acquire tick tocks operations in the u.s. canada australia new zealand the social media platform has been valued at $50000000000.00 by some investors and as we just heard the app could be burned from the united states if a deal with microsoft isn't concluded by mid september the top of illustration as long queues the company of sharing it sees the data with the chinese government and allegation denied by took top of the americas rick sanchez and guests discuss the issue. for years we've heard that the chinese tech companies were stealing our secrets and now we're hearing about it kind of goes both ways in reality is these things go both ways both ways trade wars and sunshines and gore. with 2 edges and it might just be the opposite feels the edge know all the chinese side all the war by the way i just joined. the.
3:07 am
always goes to the top of lists that the idea of the white house microsoft collaborate to buy a company the themselves. well not to. go to. the same curious doesn't it but the that of the states or the white house in cooperation with microsoft would seemingly ban a company and then have microsoft come in and buy it if it protectionist it is an area of protection s. and i think that this was the only way that the that they were able they were able to issue this ban on tech talk because when china decided to ban facebook they did that also under the guise of national security and it was also very protectionist move but they banned facebook early on before facebook was able to gain any traction with in china by banning facebook there wasn't a huge uproar from the community banning take doc in the u.s. at this current day and age when everybody is joining at calvary just joining it already when so many people are already on the platform and their revenue streams
3:08 am
to all of these individuals who are take that is huge you're taking away and income source to all of these creators and we keep seeing these stories that seem to allude to the fact that we're violating the same free market principles that we accuse them of china manufacturers on the gargantuan level the biggest manufacturer are in the world isn't going to change much more sinister by the way would be if the u.s. cannot do. drug. microsoft. would be part of the. not couple is how do chinese citizens see are we the cheaters in their eyes as we're told in our media that there are cheaters at odds in this case absolutely because this is actually the 1st time that you have a chinese social media platform grow and outpace us technology social media such as twitter instagram and facebook and that's a scary thing for the u.s. because that means that they have fallen behind in payments they have fallen behind
3:09 am
and they cut the currency wars they fall behind in 5 g. as we've spoken so much before and the u.s. is finding themselves in a very uncomfortable situation which is why they kind of have to kind of steel take talkback to america and that is the way that a lot of chinese people are viewing this one that they're viewing it as the u.s. is stealing technology that is homegrown and idea that was made in china but also on the flip side of it a lot of chinese locals they're also very angry at the c.e.o. for now bowing to the u.s. embargo and oppression. it's been 2 years since 3 sisters were arrested in moscow and charged with the premeditated killing of the father who allegedly the case of christina. has gone that widespread media attention with the public divided over the right actions charges against the 2 elder sisters will now be examined by a jury in the case of the youngest maria being reviewed by the court separately. across the story for us. a story so how are weighing it couldn't be true and yet
3:10 am
also so it was hard to believe it could have been made the story of the hot story on sisters has gripped people across russia. but now a new turn in that 2 years saga will see the eldest sisters try to fight jury they faced charges of premeditated murder and if found guilty could spend 20 years behind bars as for the youngest who was 17 at the time when she was deemed mentally incapable of committing murder so will stand trial separately facing
3:11 am
a 10 year sentence on good books as though 'd they had a plan which we think they had an ax to grind the most they wanted money and everything that belonged to mikhail you will go to them and you will be we will see to it goes to the same some previous status or just be ready for the trial they're ready to seek justice and it really is they suffered mental trauma due to their father's actions but recently they've been interacting with therapists which have received help you can see now there is nothing to prevent them from taking part in the trouble we can during the long entangled pretrial investigation stories and footage of the father's systematic abuse and much to psychologist say all the young women suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. he started shouting and said he would kill us all she took a gun beat mom 1st then in glee that then hit me with the butt of the gun she's been harassing in green then she won't stop she can't say anything to him she only agrees to everything he's afraid of me though because he knows i will not be silent
3:12 am
i will beat you up ok. your prostitutes new will die as prostitutes this case has become a sensation here in russia and sparked a heated debate about domestic violence legislation to protect its victims and the line between self defense and for a recent survey prove just how divisive it this story is with 41 percent supporting the sisters and 29 percent condemning them almost 400000 people have also signed a petition to manteca their release as well as calling for the father to be posthumously charged for his crimes people are also taking to the streets determined to. help them but. not on.
3:13 am
the public outcry was so strong in fact that last year the prosecutor general pushed for the charges to be downgraded to self-defense so that was made to revive premeditated murder was put on the table something that has been welcomed by the late father's relatives who argue that the goals are not innocent which was not we welcome the course decision and have no fear the jury won't believe very. relieved to hear what we don't think there was any cruelty it was very he was a man of discipline and he wanted to raise those who would speak to them so according to the examination the history and series are a danger to society and it was here and. you know with the trial before jury now set to move forward all eyes will be following the fate of 3 young women who one night 2 years ago desperately. continues to shop to rise people.
3:14 am
in the u.s. because of. their intention to abolish part of the city's police department and replace it with a brand new civilian led public safety system this is a response to the ongoing but lives amount of protests the proposed police divestment plan contains a number of key points it aims at reducing the budget of the local police department and remove certain functions from law enforcement on top of that it envisions the creation of a department of community safety and violence prevention some locals are unhappy at the idea and on saturday there was a peaceful rally against it outside seattle city hall the protesters voiced their support for the police and denounce the campaign to defund law enforcement agencies across the country and the state has carried us flags and placards with messages such as protect our police and bank the blue sea pumper a member of the national police association and a retired officer says the local authorities have no idea what consequences their
3:15 am
plans could have. this point these gentle city council is like your kids have a socialist candy shop they see their opportunity and they're seizing it to get their ideology across and they're not really thinking ahead as to what the ramifications are going to be for having civilians handle what are police calls we've been training police officers and police academies based on information and science that's been studied you know over decades and we're refining it as we go along in police work obviously isn't perfect it's never going to be perfect or we strive to make it better. you know they they think they can look at a call afterwards and say oh well look at this the police didn't need a gun they didn't used to use force when we go to a call we don't know we're not going to need to use force or need a gun it's all after the calls already done sometimes uses of force and eagerly of course happen on calls where you least expect it. the u.s. seals the deal with poland to boost its troop presence in the european country that
3:16 am
after relations with germany salah will be hidden from our europe correspondent after the break. some are delusional. episode. while. you can be excited very exciting i'm excited i know you're excited i know stacey is excited. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. high salacious community. are you going the right way or are you being
3:17 am
led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallows. come back with a message apparently in support of terrorist group the taliban has been unfolding a stumbles saffir site was recently we converted into a mosque. there are there are go out of. the men carrying the message who were also filmed chanting and making is this gestures we've got a reaction to the stunt from people on the streets of istanbul. a lot of careers
3:18 am
you start well i condemn them it's a movement that goes against islam is a decision that has nothing to do the flag little you call a flag is an icon islam has nothing to do with the flag to make we condemn it. i certainly don't think it's right since this is turkish territory nor their flagship the reason here at home and in our flag after every point and i do find it right. lynch has provoked a reaction from the afghan government is a clamp down on taliban propaganda saying it harms the peace process in the war torn country. they are cutting costs a fair reopened as a mosque just recently like in july the turkish court revoked its museum status which had been in place since 1935 political analyst on our air him says that the mosque reopening is important for muslims but can be exploited by radicals. this could be a provocation by a group or a group or it could be just. doing this.
3:19 am
it could be a serious indication to something that may also have a late term the fact that it has the resume it can actually it's serious forced so much fear a lot of people and of course are going to be a lot of. bad people out there that's going to try to use this for their own benefit or for their own outfits that's something that nobody can go to you about but that does that mean no no it doesn't say it's an islamic issue or it's simply sure it's an issue for the muslims it has and it will. make it less. international anywhere else. with the number of covert infections topping 18000000 globally the race for a vaccine is intensifying but the world health organization is are those people to manage expectations. we all hope to have a number of effective vaccine the start can help prevent people from infection
3:20 am
however the reason or silver bullet at the moment and then might never be the hardest hit country in the world is the us which is registered almost $5000000.00 cases is pumping huge sums of money into finding a vaccine but if $1.00 is found it may prove out of reach for those who can't afford it and more but explains the cost of the pandemic in terms of american lives has been high so now the american taxpayer is footing the bill for a vaccine that promises to end the crisis it's been dubbed operation warp speed by donald trump $10000000000.00 of taxpayer money has been pumped into big pharma corporations they are said to be hard at work trying to find a cure for coded $19.00 we hope that as the time we get into the late fall and early winter we will have in fact a vaccine that we can say would be safe and effective it seems like great news on
3:21 am
the face of it. however big pharma doesn't seem to be willing to abandon its shareholders in this time of great public need one leading u.s. corporation modernity incorporated reportedly pitched the vaccine at $50.00 to $60.00 per shot with 2 shots required some say they are not surprised and we have seen in the past that the pharmaceutical companies have overcharged has higher price so why in the world would we imagine that they would make it affordable but they are not all singing the same tune drug giant johnson and johnson which has received over $600000000.00 in taxpayer money says it's committed to providing the vaccine at no profit during the emergency pandemic period but this thinking is far from universal the c.e.o. of pfizer says that he thinks it's pretty unrealistic to think that big pharma won't profit from the pandemic. i think it's very wrong you need to be very fanatic
3:22 am
and radical to say something like that right now who's finding a solution the private sector found the solution to diagnostics and the private sector found the solution to therapeutics and is along the way to find most nations therapeutics and vaccines so how can you say something like that doesn't make sense people are working in the science laboratory working and they should be paid for their labor nothing's free someone paid for it you know the government by taxes or the pharmaceutical industry by you know putting their money and their time and talent to develop this tax scene they have to recoup it but clearly there's got to be that balance between sri which is not reasonable and very very expensive it was really prioritized things so we should take care of who's at risk the elderly the sick if you had chemotherapy or your heart disease or morbid obesity those people should get the care 1st someone like me or perhaps early younger they
3:23 am
don't need it because the likelihood if you dani is incredibly low i mean if you want to get it fine but the 1st people should be the ones at risk and this is like triacs you can't fix everybody take care of those who are sickest 1st and that's reasonable. as a vaccine is pretty essential for some to return to normality c.e.o.'s are looking at their stock margins and at their bank accounts. but there's another side to this is well who foots the bill for any side effects or
3:24 am
any damage that's done who is liable across the atlantic astra zeneca the 2nd largest drug maker in the united kingdom also sponsored by the united states says that it has been granted exemptions from product liability claims in most countries . in the conflicts we have in place we are asking for indemnification for most countries it is acceptable to take that risk on their shoulders because it is in their national interests the race for a covert vaccine is a lifesaving endeavor but when you're in business profits are key and even in a time like this big companies are not forgetting that it will happen artsy new york. you don't estates in poland finalize the new defense deal of monday now an additional $1000.00 u.s. military personnel will be deployed to poland my europe correspondent peter oliver has details washington and warsaw of put pen to paper on iran and how the defense
3:25 am
cooperation agreement is the way that they're calling it what it means is that 1000 u.s. troops will be deployed to poland in announcing the signature of this deal to get the agreement of this deal defense secretary mark earth has said that it was in part to target russia poland of course has a border with the russian exclave of kaliningrad. d e d c a will enable an increased enduring u.s. retail presence of about 1000 personnel and will in hans deterrence against russia strengthen needs to reassure allies and i'll forward presence in poland an eighty's eastern flank will improve our strategic and operational flexibility u.s. president donald trump has said that he would like to see more nato troops stationed in poland in the future particularly since warsaw is willing to pay for them to be that their service of we would send some additional troops they're going
3:26 am
to pay for that they'll be paying for the sending of additional troops and we'll probably be moving them from germany to poland well it comes a week after the news that $12000.00 u.s. troops would be leaving germany and redeployed elsewhere ostensibly. argument between washington and berlin over germany's defense spending and contributions to nato but the real rift between burley in washington may go a little deeper and may involve well something that won't go away should u.s. president donald trump be voted out of office in november i'm talking about the nord stream to gas pipeline now a group of u.s. senators from oil and gas states there have put forward a sanctions bill that well could well target german companies they want to sell germany liquefied natural gas from the united states the thing is that's more expensive than piping gas directly from russia under the baltic sea straight into
3:27 am
germany now. poland of also lent a helping hand when it comes to this issue as well just this week we've seen the polish anti monopoly watchdog slapped a $57000000.00 fine on gazprom the main russian gas while the gas giant that's behind this nord stream to gas pipeline so it does seem that there is continuing rift between germany and the united states it is seeing those some of those troops that were leaving germany to poland but of course at the root of this seems to be an argument over energy. thanks for staying with r.t. i'll put that with more in half an hour. the world is driven by dream shaped by our own person of those.
3:28 am
