with the spirit over there is this interview where you go to these to teach the student actually the person the person who goes to the room or should. just let them speak to. the new school year gets under way for students across the world but classroom life won't be the same amid tough new coping rules. also this hour authorities in berlin require people at large protests to wear face masks after a series of demonstrations against germany's coronavirus measures. and as america's pluralization intensifies ahead of november's presidential election clashes between black lives matter protesters and trump supporters start to look like a civil war people killed on both sides.
12:01 pm
this is our to international bringing you your global news updates straight from the russian capital this tuesday thanks for joining us. students across the globe are back in class as schools reopen after the summer break but for many a face to face learning won't be the same with coke with $1000.00 measures being brought in to prevent outbreaks in germany for example the rules vary from state to state but include the use of masks regular disinfection of premises and smaller class sizes spain is rolling out temperature checks and schools face being quarantined if in fact there is an outbreak and france schools are focusing on ensuring people that wash their hands and masks are mandatory both for students and for teachers here's what people in paris think about the new rules. it is a fault we're happy that the children are going back to school it's important for them to go back and people are nervous but that's life will find solutions we've asked them will not tell you this my child is deaf so we're in the compulsory mask
12:02 pm
creates inconvenience because it's impossible to leave the teacher or the other classmates but i think the teachers will come up with a solution for example where in a transparent mask or advisor. moment when the teachers have have their faces covered it's not clear how well the teachers can observe the reactions of students these a difficult conditions. people are scared because a very thing we've been hearing but no one really knows what's going on i know we have to be careful but the children have to get on with their lives so we need to somehow deal with it. through. our it is done a quarter paid a visit to a russian school to take a closer look at the new measures put in place there. well it's that time of the year again time for students all over the world to go back to school and many of them won't be sitting in virtual classrooms just because of the coronavirus in russia september 1st is a very important holiday everybody usually gets dressed up parents and grandparents
12:03 pm
personally see off students to their 1st day of school but this year the celebrations have been canceled because of the normally large crowds that gather around this time and on top of that students not all of them will be going back to physical classrooms parents are be being given the option to keep their kids learning remotely because of the fact that many are still afraid that schools are going to be closed down after the 1st cough or sneeze there the new measures that have been inactive here in russia don't allow parents to enter the premises of schools classes will be starting at abnormal times to keep the sizes down and masks will be mandatory even the authorities have said that it's possible that the entire country will return to a regime of of remote learning now in the u.k. it's a different situation measures have already been implemented to keep 6 students at home although the masks are not mandatory in schools right now minimizing contact
12:04 pm
has become a top priority there now these are only a couple of the long list of measures that the u.k. government has implemented but for months they've been trying to convince parents that schools are safe instead of putting together a plan to make sure that they can be safely reopened in fact it was just several days before the beginning of school in the u.k. that the government began recommending that students over the age of 11 wear masks in hallways and public areas and that secondary students be able to stay home every other fortnight in the event of a local lockdown now this could these kind of last minute guidelines have really upset a lot of teachers in the u.k. we've been asking for months and months and months wolf she screws into close down because of. the screen see. it is a kind of act of heresy and yet here we'll be for a bank holiday weekend school it really isn't the government funded and then there's france where the education minister has said there shouldn't be any
12:05 pm
hesitation in sending back the country's 13000000 students back to school although he did admit that not all classrooms could be guaranteed to be safe by the time students return to those schools and even president mark owen said that the country could be facing another lockdown soon because of the fact that the country still facing an exponential rise in the amount of coronavirus cases there and as you can probably imagine teachers in france weren't too happy either as soon as they'll be in contact with one another re going to try and get them to our stair hands but let's not fool ourselves we know that would 25 pupils we want always be able to keep an eye on them so it seems like here in russia the 1st of september is just as important for the authorities as it is for the students and their parents will life returned to normal or will another wave of the coronavirus cause another lock down only time will tell earlier we spoke with the world health organization's
12:06 pm
representative to russia who says you can never eliminate all risk. we have to say that the schools are part of the by the community and they have to be seen so so if there is good control in the wider community that ensures quite a lot for the schools and we have to take that into consideration however there is no 0 risk we have to think about that but when the knowledge we have about college over the last practically 8 months and with all the efforts that are being put into place we do believe that this is the right moment to discuss it to move on to return children to schooling but in a safe mode in the beginning of this year then a number of measures have already been announced by various countries and by various schools but the most important thing is what to do if a child tests positive or basically if a child develops symptoms or to start as well most likely that class who
12:07 pm
go on learning depending on the number of cases in the school who tested positive we have of course learned a lot about the virus but not everything and the issue about i said to magic persons and asked him to have children and spreading and how much and how more remain very very topical it will however require quite a lot of discipline provides a lot of strong capacities for detection and for speed reaction but as i said there is no. anyone thinking of protesting and berlin will now have to wear a mask if over 100 people show up to demonstrate as the decision of the state senate and it comes after a number of rallies in the german capital or nationwide restrictions due to the pen demick or your correspondent peter all for has the details. protests and demonstrations of more than 100 people in the lead and now on the list of events that require those in attendance to wear
12:08 pm
a mask the berlin senate has voted this through their protests it means joins the list of public transport shops and supermarkets and school buildings though not necessarily inside classrooms the berlin senator for the interior and their skies has welcomed this move saying it's an important measure to stop the spread of the corona virus and also to show public health responsibility it's not responsibility that certainly was not on display on saturday authorities say 38000 people were on the streets of berlin protesting against government anti corona measures in fact they were some times quite openly scenes in the demonstrations at one point try to enter the reichstag building thank you. thank you. thank. you. thank.
12:09 pm
god thank you. it seems almost certain that the scenes we saw on saturday were behind this measure being pushed through requiring masks to be worn at future demonstrations but those scenes were also behind some condemnation from politicians about the actions of those who took part on saturday the extremists disapprove the violence on the extreme right during last saturday's demonstration in berlin rightly frightened outreached many people will not tolerate such excesses jesus of aged of people should have the right to demonstrate peacefully it is of course a very valuable asset even during a pandemic this right was clearly violated at the weekend. the results was shameful unacceptable scenes at the really stark and to democrats trying to make themselves heard on the steps of our democratic parliament it's own likely that anybody taking
12:10 pm
part in further protests of this kind will pay a lot of attention to this new ruling about musk wearing some of those who have turned out to these demonstrations don't believe the coronavirus is actually a thing that exists in the 1st place still numbers out these demonstrations has been growing a similar protest at the beginning of august didn't draw me as many people as the almost 40000 who took part on saturday just gone we are expecting another demonstration to take place at the beginning of october we have to keep an eye out to see if people will wear masks. returned to the us where protesters gathered in southern los angeles on monday after a black man was shot dead by law enforcement as alleged the man assaulted a deputy sheriff who was trying to arrest him officers also say he was in possession of
12:11 pm
a handgun it comes amid brutal scenes in cities across america deadly shootings have left some parts of the country starting to look like war zones the situation has fed into the 2020 presidential campaign with joe biden blasting donald trump for refusing to condemn kyle rittenhouse is facing murder charges after shooting dead 2 people during a black lives matter protests wisconsin last week. that was an interesting situation you saw the same tape as i saw and he was trying to get away from them i guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that we're looking at right now and it's under investigation but. i guess he was in very big trouble he would have been i probably would have been killed tonight president trump declines to rebuke violence he wouldn't even repudiate one of his supporters who was charged with mudda he's too weak to scared of the hatred he has stead to put an end to it the elections that take place every
12:12 pm
4 years in the united states generally polarized the country to some degree or other but 2020 is taking things to a much higher level clashes on the streets between black lives matter activists praised by democrats and from supporters are starting to look almost like civil war . look. at. a member of the right wing patriot prayer group was shot dead in oregon and that's just days after
12:13 pm
a 17 year old was charged for shooting 2 anti-police brutality protesters in can no show wisconsin now some on the right has hailed the shooter in can osha as a hero meanwhile some on the left have celebrated the death of the trump supporter . i could have come. up now. annele trump has taken a heavy handed approach to the protesters with 0 tolerance and joe biden has also denounced the violence but early on you had a different message i said in the right to be fact angry and frustrated and more violence for any more people isn't going to answer the question but are totally correct. the deadly violence we saw overnight in portland is an acceptable shooting in the streets of a great american city is unacceptable i condemn violence of every kind by anyone whether on the left or the right and i challenge donald trump to do the same both
12:14 pm
candidates feel the situation has gone too far and both candidates now blame each other for the chaos. here gas was used to remove the tester's. it is happening under donald trump's watch we are not safe in donald trump's america the hard truth is. you won't be safe in joe biden's america donald trump is running as the quote law and order candidate now that's an unpopular position in some circles meanwhile biden is on the defensive as conservatives label the unrest the biden riots with the election just 2 months away and the country spiraling out of control it's unclear if either candidate really has any idea how to fix the situation it will mop and artsy new york. as the world tries to return to normal amid the pen demick there are fears that
12:15 pm
some things will never be the same like waiting times in the u.k. for certain medical consultations for patients with life threatening conditions saskia taylor explains. over the p. quick getting back to walk when reopening schools life is getting back to normal how many times have we had this but now a new report from the w.h.o. reveals just how fatally covert 19 has set us back the impact of the coded 19 pandemic on essential health services is a source of great concern major health gains achieved over the past 2 decades can be wiped out in a short period of time the collapse of essential health services including health promotion preventative services. diagnosis treatment and rehabilitative in palliative services is likely to have serious adverse health effects especially on the most vulnerable populations what does this look like in reality though well the overwhelming majority of the 100 countries surveyed found that he health services
12:16 pm
were interrupted not that kind of 19 patients but for the rest of the population i.e. the majority which didn't have coronavirus so you wanted a seasonal job you want to talk to your doctor about the pain in your stomach you want to speak to a family coming specialist the chances are you really struggled to access the services you need it and for some that lack of accessibility proved fatal take the u.k. it's thought that the lockdown there killed 2 people for every 3 coronavirus deaths as a result of missed medical care so people who were told to stay away from a any who couldn't get an emergency surgery who had their g.p. appointment canceled or who didn't get the regular chemotherapy for many though a matter of months to clear that backlog is time they just don't have i mean even as the government tells us and life gets back on track and the u.k.'s covert death toll reaches almost 0 some patients with life threatening conditions are being told
12:17 pm
to wait until 2022 for a consultation which even then what only happened over the phone and this might sound abstract but here's a real story martin lincoln has joined so ought to write us among other things he's at risk of diabetes unless he regulates his daily medication his appointment to do so has been postponed until next year the government tells us the n.h.s. is open as usual and trusts are getting back to normal service as a patient with ongoing health issues i am now deemed sufficiently well enough despite being decidedly unwell to have to wait 14 months for a phone call from the consultant or junior if this is the new norm. it's disgraceful and while there's no doubt that medical professionals are doing that almost in the some precedented situation our doctors nurses and other staff have worked incredibly hard over the last few months to make sure that all patients who
12:18 pm
needed urgent care have been able to receive it which has been the case for mr lincoln as the number of people desperately waiting for the help they need grows charities are sounding the alarm the health service is certainly under strain because the government over the past 10 years. and the from the n.h.s. although the government to set out to recruit did issue. i don't know where they're going to come from one of the big problems is that critical work in the n.h.s. are very poorly paid. no great incentives for people to do doing this and i think there's no showing that this is going to get better in the near future because this government ideologically opposed to the concept of. publicly from. health care we've been told we need to compromise to adapt to
12:19 pm
this new normal but many would argue this is a compromise too far. french winemakers have enjoyed their best weather in years with plenty of sunshine and rainfall but the global trade slowdown has set demand into freefall and champagne producers are among the worst hit a charlotte reports. it should go home but this is champagne harvest will be little more than official consumption of champagne is expected to fall by as much as a this year an unprecedented loss of around $1700000000.00 euros now while champagne great growers have agreed to leave grapes on the vine cutting production by around 20 percent the effort may not be enough and there are fears that little can be done to salvage the situation with some describing it as being the darkest year in the history of the sparkling we are experiencing
12:20 pm
a crisis that we have. even worse than the great depression in terms of economy for champagne. stone when i hear that other sex has received help even without any reference to their profits i say look we continue to work and we need to support workers we're switching to the principles of our janick winemaking and besides we only asked to compensate social benefits and only for the period of the current 19 pandemic but we will pay at least for now and have the feeling that we will pay the full price curve of 19 pandemic has hit the industry hard not just because orders from staple buyers like restaurants and hotels are down but also because the harvest is about to get underway and there are fears of a qubit outbreak amongst seasonal workers some 100000 arrived hof of them from eastern europe but due to the nature of the work champagne growers
12:21 pm
say social distancing is impossible as there is never to be going to be close mix in the mystery board a flare up of infections in seasonal workers often cramped living quarters the european center for disease prevention and control has already outlined how clusters. 19 have been reported by workers who carry out seasonal work such as fruit picking there have been several outbreaks it fall in the south of france raising concerns amongst those that live in the champagne region particularly as the area has so far largely been spared from france's recent spike in infections free testing has been set up for seasonal workers however anyone who tests positive would have to self isolate and lose their wage hardly enticing the problem is the migrant workers aren't coming to get tested because they know they
12:22 pm
will lose the jobs the test positive we can force them to call for champagne an area that is used to helping people celebrate in style 2020 is turning out to be a bit of a difficult potion to swallow so let's even ski ati paris. california lawmakers have given the green light to a bill that would force companies to have at least one board member from a minority background by the end of the year the state believes the move will help to overcome racial disparity people of color must have a seat at the table especially in the state as diverse as california it would build on an earlier law which stated that company boards should include at least one woman as will rise to 3 for most larger firms by the end of next year and under the bill by the end of 2022 it will be at least 3 people from minority communities as well if signed off by the governor of the law will be the 1st of its kind in the
12:23 pm
u.s. for corporations we debated the issue with political activist anthony rogers right and social issues commentator anthony brown logan. it is of course very sad that we needed government intervention and for more diversity on these corporate boards the bottom line is that there have always been qualified people of color unqualified women who just don't have the access to these corporations and it's just important that we do and it's also beneficial to these corporations for their bottom line when they have people on their boards who are representative of their consumers that's better for their bottom line and we've seen that as expressed in forbes magazine in bloomberg magazine as well actually you know the bottom line of these companies they already do it ok because at the end of the day they're trying to make money go to the most important part all that matters is have it the most qualified people on the board in a company to have your company get the best chance to succeed ok if it fails and if ailes but having the government intervene and say hey you got to hire that person
12:24 pm
that person and that person won't change it actually that's called communism and we've seen. and fairly failed and that is not i mean if any of that is not common i think it's going to speak to the to do to people let's be honest let's let's be honest let's be honest about what those precepts are now unfortunately what anthony is doing is conflating anyone they're going to go into the street and just pick any person of color off the street to be on a board we're talking about qualified people we know for a fact in this country we know for a fact in this country are going to be able to have a tree that people of color specifically sees me scuse me if i can finish my point african-american women latino women and indigenous women who have master's degrees or sell it making less money than white men with high school diploma let's name 3 of the most lucrative businesses in the history of the united states of america apple microsoft and facebook all founded by white men who didn't even finish college so this idea that white people are being men are being is i don't you know
12:25 pm
when i got a story on a money way i know it's about i'm seeing. a little and he started it i couldn't even if my point. if i could just go back to my point if i could just finish my point with if i could just finish my point one high school diploma are still making money more money than black brown and indigenous women with master's degrees so this idea that white men are being discriminated against unfortunately is a bootlicking paradigm by the republicans and some of their black talking points like mr anthony is on right now he knows very very well that white men can walk down the street get pulled over by an officer and not be worried about getting shot so you know i mean i'm going to vote. starting in maine so motivated me just like myself ok from. next to nothing and now i'm very successful ok because i started my own thing i thought it my own business ok where in america everyone can do they are right there's no need to put me here or to put somebody
12:26 pm
else who does that is absolutely not true ok if i had my own business i didn't if you hadn't i didn't. want it don't want a government telling me who i can take and i have all my. black household wealth at $17000.00 a year and white house sold well for $177000.00 a year on average these are good responsible policies and of businesses want them to be dismantled then do the right thing and understand that diversity is not just about numbers but also about shared power the best way to go bad is they have freedom in the country not so much government regulation and the best way to go about this is have less regulation always rates a less bureaucracy that helps all of those grow whether you want to be an employee or stars or all business say less regulation less brain break freedom in america. that's been your global news breakdown for now and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know neil will be here at the top of the hour with all the latest .

12:28 pm
