democratic choice trump. joins us as we try to find. the headline stories this hour of the new school year it gets under way for students across the world but classroom life is a whole lot different too before i made tough new rules. authorities in berlin get strict about the wearing of mosques during public protests following a series of demonstrations against germany's. measures also ahead. of. the french president's visit to lebanon is overshadowed by protests with hundreds voicing their anger over the appointment of a new prime minister. but also threatening sanctions if reforms

field material. from moscow to the world this is our team international and welcome wherever you're joining us from today my names you know middle. schools reopened after the break for most of the world but classrooms are taking on a very different look with covert 19 measures in place let's take a look at what some countries are doing in germany the rules vary from state to state but include the use of mosques regular disinfection of premises on smaller class sizes spain is ruling our temperature checks schools face being quarantined if there is an outbreak in france schools are focusing on ensuring pupils wash their hands mosques are mandatory both for students and for teachers here's what people in part us think about the new reality. about the only good 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 we'll find solutions we have as a monopoly of this so my child is deaf so where in the compulsory mask creates inconvenience because it's impossible to leap read 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 they teachers have have their faces covered it's not clear how well the teachers can observe the reactions of students these are difficult conditions. people are scared because of 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. so what's the situation like in russia well arty's donald korda paid a visit to a school to take

a closer look at the new measures against infection. 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 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 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. the screen

so. 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 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 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 could 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 return to normal or will another wave of the coronavirus cause another lock down only time will tell. the whole quarter with the reporter we spoke with the world health organizations representative to russia who say as 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 with 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 of the skill set 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 basically if a child develops symptoms or to start as well most likely that class who 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 ask 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 quite a lot of strong capacity start of traction and for speed reaction but as i said there is no. anyone thinking of protesting in berlin have to wear a mask if policed 100 people show all about is the the solution of the state senate

it comes after a number of rallies occurred in the german capital over nationwide restrictions due to the pandemic here's our europe correspondent peter oliver. protests and demonstrations of more than 100 people in berlin and now on the list of events that require those in attendance to wear 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 and t.

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. q. thank. god i 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 of 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 anti democrats trying to make themselves heard on the steps of our democratic parliament it's own likely that anybody taking part in further protests of this kind will pay a lot of attention to this new ruling about mask 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 back at the beginning of august didn't draw nearly 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 be having to keep an eye

out to see if people will wear masks. the french president is in lebannon on an official visit speaking on tuesday he offered to host an aid conference for the country's devastated economy but also warned of sanctions against officials of urgent reforms are not carried out lebanese president michel you greeted him on your micron at his residence on choose they with an aerial display jet released smoke in the colors of the lebanese fly but the spike the warm welcome the french leaders visit has drawn allegations of interference in the country's politics brunson's been leading calls for reform in lebanon since the beirut port explosion last month the tragedy was blamed on corruption triggered the collapse of the government is now demanding credible commitments from officials including a new election meanwhile fresh anti-government protests have on for good in beirut . i

was thankful i mean as you can see there was an intense confrontation between protesters and security forces in beirut activists hurl rocks at the parliament building and tried to storm the gates here gas was used to disperse the crowd many demonstrators voice over the newly desecrated prime minister saying he represents the same ruling class as the previous government political commentator mara gave us her views on the french role in lebanon. strong interest is a very really short and small word to express in absolutes in nature in the french engagement in that it needs politics if we are celebrating levanon and 70 years 100 years of founding levanon 70 years of being free and independent from the french mandate we are here having the french president with his planes telling us what to

do i'm not saying that's bad or not bad i'm just saying that this is not an interest this is another mandate in the beaking maybe a mild one with the visits with the constance visits of in mind when monk wrong because he's dealing with the same political elite we're not talking about officials when he said sanctioning officials i don't think that this is the right way to see who should be saying sanctioning neat because the governing body in lebanon is not might the warlords that have been governing from behind the offices the official offices of the government for the past 32 years this devastation of a country because when you really sanction the people who are in the government you're doing nothing because the people of both the government controlling everything from institutions to public and private ones. the point of the airport etc you name it then what are you doing if you're not targeting these people but at

the same time who are you to darken the spiegel is anyone should target them it should be us the people specially after the tragedy that happened the explosion the devastation that took over bin laden all missed work because of corruption and it might be because of other russian is the main cause and by see what michael has been doing for the past 2 visits you can see that france is just diving more and more into the lebanese politics under a certain point when the lebanese public will maybe not not take it in. told users it will start blocking any turn that could prove harmful to the company we delve into what it means after the break. world. of the.

backscatter financial survival god stacee let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm a troika and here i'm greece on face of the fight well street fraud thank you for helping. destroy 6 that's right fellow debt slavery. still seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to shape out this day become educated and gain treatment equal to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

60 minutes past 11 pm here in moscow welcome back facebook has announced a radical change to its terms of service users have started receiving notification saying the social media giant will start removing or blocking any content that could expose the company to legal action. we can also remove or restrict access to content services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal regulatory impacts to facebook disturbing near addition to facebook terms of service that could be used to justify online censorship but to what the government's using restrictive national laws to

order social media platforms to censor information critical of the government or more narky in violation of online freedom these books terms of service update translated to plain english will remove content not because it is incorrect misleading illegal or spreads dangerous misinformation but because removing it might help prevent us from getting caught allowing it did you see the new facebook terms of said this smells like election interference and censorship to me. well as you just saw there's already been a strong negative reaction to the new rules which take effect on the 1st of october this all comes the spike facebook boss mark zuckerberg repeated pledge not to censor political culture. you know we've tried to distinguish ourselves out as. probably being one of the tech companies that is the most protective of giving people a voice and free expression over all content is newsworthy we also won't take it

down even if it would otherwise conflict with some of our standards i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying that they can make their own judgments i don't think it's right for a private company to censor politicians or the news in a democracy it doesn't fit in with facebook practices in general which have been censoring and biased and completely draconian in terms of how they treat content and it's very prejudicial it's well they have the man for been really for free speech and they have now with facebook news the intent to basically not only control knows but own it you know only to say that somebody is threatening to sue them for a search for such and such a content so basically it is a car ranch license to remove any content whatsoever without it. the users are now you know they're a captive audience it's very hard to move from one social network to another you

have a whole network of friends and followers that you have that you are counting on communicating to him out they know that their virtual monopoly so they can basically they're suggesting they can do whatever they want. protesters gathered in southern los angeles on monday after a black man was shot dead by law enforcement it's alleged the man assaulted a deputy sheriff who was trying to arrest him officers also say he was in possession of a gun it comes amid chaotic gun violence scenes in cities across america deadly shootings have left some parts of the country starting to look like a war zone the situation has fed into the 2020 presidential campaign with joe biden blasting doubled. from for refusing to condemn kyla written hyas the 17 year old is facing murder charges after allegedly shooting dead 2 people who were chasing him during a black lives matter protest in 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 he probably would have been killed tonight president trump declines to rebuke violence he wouldn't even repudiate one of his support is he 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 4 years in the united states generally polarize the country to some degree or other bought 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 .

a member of the right wing patriot prayer group was shot dead in oregon and that's just days after a 17 year old was charged for shooting 2 anti-police brutality protesters in can no show wisconsin now some on the right have hailed the shooter. in can no shia as a hero meanwhile some on the left have celebrated the death of the trump supporter . donald trump has taken

a heavy handed approach to the protesters with 0 tolerance and joe biden has also denounced the violence but early on he had a different message i said and the right to be fact angry and frustrated and more violence for any more people is the kind of answer the question but they are totally correct. the deadly violence we saw were of a night in portland is unacceptable 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 candidates feel the situation has gone too far and both candidates now blame each other for the chaos. here gas was used children of these protestors. to read a book 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. well staying in the u.s. 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 next year the states say is the move will help to overcome racial disparity people of color must have a seat at the table especially in a state as diverse as california. well let's break all this time it builds on earlier law which stated the company board should include at least one woman will

rise to 3 for most larger firms by the end of next year and under the bill by the end of 2022 boards must have 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 us for corporations i debated the issue with social issues commentator on 3 brian logan political activists 1st unfunny rogers right. 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 gets the most important part all that matters is to 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 bale's but having the government intervene and say hey you got to hire that person that person and that person won't change it actually that's called communism and we've seen. and failed and failed and i or that is not i mean isn't that is not common i think it's going to speak to the to do sheeple 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 hire a tree that people of color specifically says me scuse me if i can finish my point

african-american women latino women and indigenous women who have master's degrees or so let 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 as you are 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 else who does that is absolutely not true ok if i had my own business i didn't get out of. it i 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 while that's $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 share power the best way to go bad is they have freedom in the country not so much government regulation the best way to go about is they 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 rates a less regulation less bring great freedom in america. well if you'd like to delve deeper into the arts or indeed any of our stories this hour our t. dot com is the place to go why not leave a comment or 2 with your thoughts as well or great programs though start right off the break here. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

during the vietnam war u.s. forces also bomb to neighboring laos it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how much it is officially the most heavily bombed country per capita. human history millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country jordyn wieber. even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for the tragedy in laos built to the people need in that little land on.
