we go to work. straight home. 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 is his approval for microsoft takeover bid for the u.s. wing of the tick tock but insists the government should get a cut in the multibillion dollar deal. and in the u.s. city of seattle plans are underway to downsize the local police department placing some of its functions by community led initiative that's led to a backlash among those who support the forests we get reaction from a former officer they see the opportunity there so using it to get their ideology across they're not really thinking ahead as to what the ramifications are going to be for having civilians handle border police it's.

a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. and it's only an island is running out of space to house migrants after a surge in sea crossings from tunisia at least $250.00 arrived on lump of small boats over the weekend bypassing at least coronavirus travel restrictions new arrivals are being quarantined for 14 days and that's caused severe overcrowding at attention centers making social distancing impossible to force 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 i walked out the silty and the lead producer mayor says the situation is critical at this point. it's my grandson so he's completely closed now

there is no longer any space for people in the facility 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 on the 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. . as the story this small boat is powering its way towards the english coast aboard off 5 migrants hoping to make the u.k. that final destination scenes like this have become colman with illegal migrant crossing over the english channel already said to be a record high now there are warnings that they could reach crisis

levels exacerbating tensions between london and paris the number of illegal 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 very 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 in kent before being intercepted by british border force patrols the good weather and calm conditions are said to be aiding arrivals. operation is still on going in the english channel this afternoon over $3700.00 so far this year

i expect to be even bigger as the government is doing nothing one former 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 warmly increasing crossings is due to french police run thing up a vixens migrant camps around the port. has more anguish to refugees in cali as if there were just once again clear settlements force people on to bar service 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 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. us. president donald trump has backtracked on earlier threats to prevent the purchase of part of the chinese picked up by microsoft he's also saying instead that the us 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 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 stocks operations in the u.s. canada australia and new zealand social media platform has been valued at $15000000000.00 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 an allegation denied by tech talk r.t. america as rick sanchez and guest discussed 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 the reality is these things go both ways both ways trade wars and sunshines and gore. was. just the feels the edge know all the chinese side all the war and by the way i just joined. the job always goes to the top.

lists 1 the idea of the white house microsoft collaborate to buy a company the themselves 2. well not to. go to. the same curious doesn't it but the 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 is 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 because when china decided to ban facebook they did that also under the guise of national security and it was also a very protectionist move but they banned facebook early on before facebook was able to gain any traction with in china so 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 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 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 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 just draw. microsoft. would be part of the group 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 traitors in 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 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 quarter 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 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 elder sisters will now be examined by a jury with the case of the youngest maria being reviewed 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 hot story on sisters house who ripped people all across russia. but now a new ton in that 2 years saw will see modren if found guilty could spend 20 years behind bars as for the youngest who was 17 at the time she was deemed mentally incapable of committing modern so will stand trial separately facing a 10 year sentence on good books as though 'd they had

a clan we think they had an axe to grind they wanted money everything that belonged to mikhail you would go to them while you were sifting through the girls feel the same as in previous days they are ready for the trial they are 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 the 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 him getting that then hit me with the butt of the gun he's been harassing in green and he 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 know 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. 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 severity 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 polarize people. in the u.s. 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 ongoing blacks. matter protests the proposed police divestment plan contains a number of key points it aims at reducing the budget of the local police department and removing a certain functions from law enforcement altogether on top of that in visions the creation of a department of community safety and violence prevention some locals are unhappy about the idea that 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 de-fund law enforcement agencies across the country demonstrators carried us flags and signs with messages such as protect our police and back up a little for a member of the national police association and a retired officer from the local authorities have no idea what consequences their plans could have. this point these gentle city council it 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 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 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 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 happened on calls where you least expect it. still has the u.s. feel they deal with poland to boost its troop presence in the country after relations with germany sour a story and more after this. join

me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you that. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what's his fate.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the debt. or a mate in the shallows. welcome back to the program the u.s. and poland finalized their new defense deal on monday now an additional $1000.00 u.s. military personnel will be deployed to poland our europe correspondent peter all over as more washington and warsaw of put pen to paper on and how the defense 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 the steel defense secretary mark asked to say that it was in part

to target russia poland of course has a border with the russian x. place of kaliningrad. d.-e. 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 nato is 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 service 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 we'll probably be moving them from germany to poland while it comes a week after the news that $12000.00 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 burley 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 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 a helping hand when it comes to this issue as well just this week we've seen the polish anti monopoly watchdog 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. we turn to some world news in brief spain's ex king juan carlos has left the country 82 year old former monarch announced his decision and in a letter to his son from the transfer of power 6 years ago john carlos is probably being investigated for alleged. persians witnessed a full sturgeon moon in the capital's night sky on monday it's a rare phenomenon during which the moon turns orange locals got to enjoy views of it juxtaposed against the eiffel tower. and on monday new yorkers staged against reopening schools in the fall mayor bill de blasio wants to send children back to class in september if coded infections decline teachers who took

part in the rally say they don't want to be sacrificed at the altar of the economy . and with the number of coated infections topping 18000000 globally the race for a vaccine is intensifying 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 the reason or she wrote a bullet the moment there might never be the hardest hit country in the world is the us which has registered almost 5000000 cases it's pumping huge sums into finding about steen but if one is found it may prove out of reach for those who can't afford it are often 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 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 $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 people are working with scientists laboratory working and they should be paid for their labor nothing is 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 we should it was really prioritized thing so we should take care of who's at risk the elderly the sick if you had chemotherapy or you heart disease or morbid obesity those people should get the care 1st someone 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. 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 in the contracts 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 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 it will blow up and artsy new york. that's been your global news wrap up for this hour for the details on all those stories and many more head to our website r.t. dot com i'm. thinking of getting a new phone the ones we got in here shows no problem was he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired how much you don't need a crate with him he will just start freaking out and she will want to spray him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs that caged in in human conditions on puppy farm i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. to take care of you but.

it's ok. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even giant a good businesses are involved like ogling mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog. how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i've driven 12 but i came here only on those 3 days i just hope the car over at the range on the cup really isn't a sick show. i made my decision to come here because
