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. italy faces a fresh crisis as a spike in migrant arrivals overcrowded quarantine centers on the island of lampedusa authorities say the situation has become a public health nightmare. also this hour donald trump gives his approval from microsoft's takeover bid for the west wing of the take talk but insists the government should get a cut from the multibillion dollar deal. and then the u.s. city of seattle plans are underway to downsize the local police department placing some of its functions by community led initiatives that's led to a backlash among those who support the force to get reaction from a former officer. they see the opportunity and they're seizing it to get their ideology across they're not really thinking this what the ramifications are going
6:01 am
to be for having civilian stable what are police calls. welcome to the program and i'm happy tuesday to you all this is r.t. international and bring you your live news update this hour. an italian island is running out of space to house migrants after a surge and sea crossings from tunisia at least $250.00 arrived on lampedusa and small boats over the weekend bypassing at least coronavirus travel restrictions new arrivals are being quarantined for 14 days and that's cause severe overcrowding at detention centers making social distancing impossible to enforce the island's main holding center is now running at about 10 times capacity local officials have asked the government to send a ferry to be used as a lockdown facility and the lampedusa mayor says the situation is critical.
6:02 am
but the migrant center is completely closed now there is no longer any space for people in the facilities so therefore we need to transfer after we will wait for the next boat arriving at lampedusa and then completely clear out the facilities so we can have a chance for a thorough clean up because honestly it's under severe pressure right now meanwhile france and the u.k. are trading accusations after a record number of illegal channel crossings over the past week london has urged paris to adopt a tougher stance and stop the migrant boats before they set sail for the u.k. are to charlotte devinsky a 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 corman with illegal migrant crossings over the english channel already said to be
6:03 am
a wreck or. now there are warnings that they could reach crisis 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
6:04 am
good weather and calm conditions are said to be aiding arrivals operations still going in the english channel this afternoon over 3700 so far this year i expect 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 camps around the port. you have more anguish through a few jews in cali as if there were just once again clear settlements whose people want to ban service and drive them to distant nations unknown the british home
6:05 am
office though says any illegal migrants will be interviewed and deported where appropriate the french are also intercepting some illegal crossings but plenty are still slipping through what is clear is that despite this joint cooperation to deal with illegal crossings the problem not only persists but it could actually be getting worse jollity even ski r.t. paris. president donald trump has backtracked on earlier threats to prevent the purchase of part of the chinese owned tick tock by microsoft is now saying instead that the u.s. government should get a cut from the sale. i set a 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 that if you buy it whatever the price is that goes to whoever owns it because i guess it's china essentially but more than
6:06 am
anything else i said a very substantial portion of the price is going to have to come into the treasury of the united states microsoft has said it's looking to acquire tech tox operations in the u.s. canada australia and new zealand and social media platform has been valued at $50000000000.00 by some investors and as we just heard the app could be banned from the u.s. if a deal with microsoft is not concluded by mid september the trump administration has long accused the company of sharing its user data with the chinese government and allegation denied by tick-tock r.t. america's rick sanchez and his guests discuss the issue. here is we've heard that the chinese tech companies were stealing our secrets and now we're hearing that it kind of goes both ways it in reality is these things go both ways. trade wars and sunshines and gore. are swords with 2 edges and
6:07 am
it might just be the feels the edge now the chinese side all the sort of by the way just joined. the. always goes to the top of. the white house microsoft collaborate to buy a company the themselves have buns well not to. go to. don't seem curious doesn't it but be that it 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 very a protectionists and i think that this was the only way that the that they were able they were able to issue this ban on take 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 within china so by banning facebook there wasn't
6:08 am
a huge uproar from the community banning tick tock in the u.s. at this current day and age when everybody is joining in calgary just joined in it already when so many people are already on the platform and their revenue streams to all of these individuals who are take talk creators 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 that we're violating the same free market principles that we accuse them of. gargantuan level the biggest. in the world. which are much more sinister that we would be if you as. the drug. microsoft. would be part of the. couple is how do chinese citizens see are we the cheaters in their eyes as we're told in our media that there are traitors at our lives 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
6:09 am
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 in 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 steal to talk back 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 also on the flip side of it a lot of chinese locals are also very angry at the c.e.o. for now bowing to the u.s. and by under pressure. it's now been 2 years since 3 sisters were arrested in moscow and charged with the premeditated killing of their father who allegedly abused them the case of christina and maria has garnered widespread media attention with the public divided over their actions charges against the 2 older sisters will
6:10 am
now be examined by a jury with the case of the youngest maria being interviewed by the court separately taylor is across the story for us. a story so how rowing it couldn't be true and yet also so how wring it was hard to believe it could have been made up the story of the hatch tuireann sister's house who ripped people all across russia . but now a new ton in that 2 years saw will see the eldest sister is trying to fight jury they faced charges of premeditated murder and if found guilty could spend 20 is
6:11 am
behind bars as for the youngest who was 17 at the time when she was deemed mentally incapable of committing maad so will stand trial separately facing a 10 year sentence on google books so i suppose 'd they had a plan we think they had an ax to grind they wanted money everything that belonged to mikhail you would go to them while you sit through the girls feel the same some previous days they were ready for the trial they're ready to see justice they suffered mental trauma due to their father's actions recently they've been interacting with therapists they've received help so now there is nothing to prevent them from taking part in the trial during the long entangled pretrial investigation stories and footage of the father's systematic abuse and mudge 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
6:12 am
been harassing him 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 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 fair and always 400000 people have signed a petition demanding the sisters 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 or.
6:13 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 laid to revive on premeditated murder was put on the table something that has been welcomed by the late father's relatives who argue that the girls are not all innocent which was not we welcome the course decision and have no fear the jury won't believe those and very for it fakes were leaked to the press we don't think there was any cruelty there was very he was a man of discipline and he wanted to raise good decent girls for 2 years and according to the examination the hedges around sisters are a danger to society and i am scared of being close to them 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 committed an act that continues to shock and
6:14 am
polarize people. in the us seattle lawmakers have expressed their intention to abolish part of the city's police department and replace it with a brand new civilian led public safety system it's a response to the on. black lives matter protests the proposed police divestment plan contains a number of key points that aims at reducing the budget of the local police department and removing certain functions from law enforcement altogether on top of that it envisions the creation of a department of community safety and violence prevention some locals are unhappy about the idea on saturday there was a peaceful rally against it outside seattle city hall protesters voiced their support for the police and denounce the campaign to defend law enforcement agencies across the country demonstrators carried last flags and placards with messages such as protect our police and back the blue sea of pumper a member of the national police association and a retired officer says the local authorities have no idea what consequences their
6:15 am
plans could happen. at this point these gentle city council is like you know kids of 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 at police academies based on information and science that's been studied you know over decades and we're refining it as we go along and police work obviously isn't perfect it's never going to be perfect or we strive to make it better. you know 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 but when we go to a call we don't know we're not going to need to use force or need a gun until after the calls already done sometimes uses of force and even lethal force happen on calls where you least expect it. still ahead the u.s.
6:16 am
seals a deal with poland to boost its troop presence in the european country after relations with germany and sour details on that right after that's. all across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win the election but this time around it is a race trust me and let's be clear this is little to do with joe biden how do we get. the world is driven by shaped by one person or those with.
6:17 am
the day or thinks. week to ask. welcome back the u.s. son colin finalized their new defense deal on monday now an additional $1000.00 u.s. military personnel will be deployed to the country our europe correspondent peter all over. washington and warsaw of put pen to paper on on and how the defense cooperation agreement is the way that they're calling it what it means is that 1000
6:18 am
u.s. troops will be deployed to poland in announcing the signature of this daily in the agreement of this deal defense secretary mark ask a said that it was in part to target russia poland of course has a border with the russian x. place of kaliningrad. dca will enable an increased enduring u.s. routine presence of about $1000.00 personnel and will enhanced deterrence against russia strength the need to reassure allies and i would 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 there their sources of we would send some additional troops they're going to pay for that they'll be paying for the sending of additional troops and
6:19 am
we'll probably be moving them from germany to poland well it comes a week after the news that 12000 u.s. troops would be leaving germany and redeployed elsewhere ostensibly over a argument between washington and berlin over germany's defense spending and contributions to nato but the real rift between berlijn and washington may go a little deeper and may involve well something that won't go away showed us 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 germany now poland of also lent
6:20 am
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. a quick look at things happening across the globe now spain's ex king juan carlos has left the country the 82 year old former monarch announced his decision in a letter to his son to feel he transferred power 6 years ago on carlos is currently being investigated for alleged corruption. reasons witness a full sturgeon moon in the couple's night sky on monday it's a rare phenomenon during which the moon turns orange locals got to enjoy the view
6:21 am
of it juxtaposed against the art towers. and on monday in new york or stage a rally against reopening schools in autumn bill de blasio wants to send back to class in september if covert infections decline teachers who took part in the rally say they don't want to be sacrificed at the altar of the economy. with a number of covert infections topping 18000000 globally at the race for a vaccine is intensifying but the world health organization has urged people to manage their expectations. we only hope 2 out of a number of effective vaccine to start could help prevent people from infection however there is a north sea loaded bullet at the moment and then a minute never to be. the hardest hit country in the world is the us which has registered almost $5000000.00 cases it's pumping huge sums into finding a vaccine that but if one is found it may prove out of the reach for those who can
6:22 am
afford it are to scale mom and explained. 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 a time we get into the late for an early winter we will have in fact a vaccine that we can say would be safe and effective it seems like a great new on 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 us corporation modernity incorporated reportedly pitched the vaccine at $50.00 to
6:23 am
$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 want to profit from the pandemic. i think it's very wrong you need to be very fanatic 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
6:24 am
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 prioritize 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 so like me or perhaps early younger they 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.
6:25 am
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 any damage that's done who is liable across the atlantic astra zeneca the 2nd largest drugmaker in the united kingdom also sponsored by the united states says that it has been granted exemptions from product liability claims in most countries
6:26 am
in the contracts we have in place we are asking for indemnification for most countries it is acceptable to take the 3 sgt on their shoulders because it is in their national interests the race for a covert vaccine is a life saving endeavor but when you're in business profits are key and even at a time like this big companies are not forgetting that they will mop and artsy new york. that's all for this news hour but if you're looking for more head on over to our website are to dot com for countless articles and all of our shows thanks for telling it. thinking of getting a new job on the ones we got in our ships no problem was he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired how much we don't need a crate with him he will stir freaking out and she will want to spray him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs
