6:02 pm
both for students and for teachers people in paris think about the new reality. the only good is of all 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 with us no not one of us so my child is deaf so we're in the compulsory mask creates inconvenience because it's impossible to lip 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. the moment when the teachers have have their faces covered it's not clear how well the teachers can observe the reactions of students these are difficult conditions with the wrap all of what pupils are experiencing here in russia further afield here's artie's donal quarter. 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
6:03 pm
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 at 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
6:04 pm
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 screws into. 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 it comes from this so it seems like
6:05 pm
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 reports will we also spoke with the world health organization's representative to russia who stays you can never eliminate all risk. we have to say that this is the rules are part of the rider community and they have to be seen so if there is good control in the wider community that ensures the not all then 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 the last practically 8 months and all the efforts that are being looked into we do believe that this is the right moment. to move on to return children to school in back in
6:06 pm
a safe mode. another story on our radar today anyone thinking of protesting in berlin will now have to wear a mask if least 100 people show up that's the decision of the state senate that comes after a number of rallies occurred in the german capital over nationwide restrictions to to the pandemic our europe correspondent peter all of us got more. protests and demonstrations of more than 100 people in it and now on the list of events that require those in attendance to wear a mask the berlin senate has voted this through the 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 the 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
6:07 pm
that certainly was not on display on such as a it's already say 38000 people were on the streets of berlin protesting against government. measures in fact they were some times quite ugly scenes in the demonstrations at one point try to enter the reichstag building. thank. you. thank. you. thank you. 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
6:08 pm
extremists disapprove of the violence of the extreme rage during last saturday's demonstration in berlin rightly frightened and outreached many people will not tolerate such excesses jesus of aged 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 result 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 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 back at the beginning of august didn't draw me as many people as
6:09 pm
the almost 40000 who took part on saturday just go on 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 the official visit it's a nation hit by turmoil but now. beirut is ready to form a government within the next 2 weeks earlier he offered to host an aid conference for the countries devastated a commie but also warned of sanctions against officials if urgent reforms are not carried out lebanese president michel greeted the money at his residence on shoes the with an aerial display jets released smoke in the colors of the lebanese flak but the spike the warm welcome the french leaders visit has drawn allegations of interference in the country's politics france has been leading calls for reform
6:10 pm
in lebanon since the beirut airport 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 been unfolding in beirut. i was. i was i was i yeah as you can see here on intense confrontation between protesters and security forces in beirut activists hurled rocks up the parliament building contract to storm the gates of tear gas was used to disperse the crowd many demonstrators voiced their anger over the newly designated prime minister saying he represents the same ruling class that was the previous government but the goal commentator. gave us her views on the french role in the. strong interest is
6:11 pm
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 me king maybe a mild one with the visits with the constance visits of in mind when montreal because he's dealing with the same political elites 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
6:12 pm
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 above the government controlling everything from institutions to public and private ones. at 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 if anyone should target them it should be us the people specially after the tragedy that happened the explosion that the station that took over been in our midst or because of corruption and it might be because of other close russian is the main cause and brain 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 probably will maybe not not take it in. let's turn attention to the united states now where protesters gathered in southern los
6:13 pm
angeles on monday after a black man was shot dead by law enforcement it's alleged them on assaulted a deputy sheriff who is trying to arrest and officers also say he was in possession of a hunger and it comes amid chaotic and violent scenes in cities across america deadly shootings have left some parts of the country starting to look in parts like a war zone. on the situation has fed into the 2020 presidential campaign with joe biden blasting donald trump for refusing to condemn kyle written host that's the 17 year old facing murder charges after allegedly shooting dead 2 people who were chasing him during a black lives matter of 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
6:14 pm
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 4 years in the united states generally polarize 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 .
6:15 pm
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 osha as a hero meanwhile some on the left have celebrated the death of the trump supporter . 0 and i. cut the. 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 you had a different message i said in the right to be fact angry and frustrated and more
6:16 pm
violence for any more people is the kind of answer the question but 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 to remove these protesters people around them 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 when joe biden is in there 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
6:17 pm
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. this is r t international still ahead facebook has told users it will start blocking any content that could prove harmful to the company we delve into what it means to break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only closely. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down
6:18 pm
and talk. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.
6:19 pm
just approaching 19 minutes into the program welcome back 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 state say's 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 it builds on an earlier law which stated that company boards should include at least one woman that will rise to 3 women for most larger firms by the end of next year and then this latest development 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 anthony bryan logan political activist anthony rogers right. it is of course very
6:20 pm
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 ailes 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 in iraq that is not communism that is not common
6:21 pm
i didn't say and if we're 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 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 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 is going to be no word 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
6:22 pm
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 talking about. these are starting main so motivated me just like myself ok from poor environment next to nothing and now 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 do and if you haven't i don't. want it i don't want
6:23 pm
a government telling me who i can make and i have all my. black household wealth at $17000.00 a year and white house would welcome $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 the 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 are all business say less regulation less brame great freedom in america. something you may have been directly affected by over the last 24 hours or so facebook. changed 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
6:24 pm
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 with governments using restrictive national laws to order social media platforms to censor information critical of the government or more narky in violation of online freedom facebook's 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 yeah as we've just seen there's already been a strong negative reaction to the new rules which take effect on the 1st of october
6:25 pm
this all comes the spike facebook boss mark zuckerberg has repeated pledge not to censor political content. you know we've tried to distinguish ourselves at is. 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 it would 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 that 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 as well they have member been really for free speech and they have now with facebook news they intend to basically not only control knows
6:26 pm
but own it it always say that somebody is threatening to sue them for a search for such and such a content so basically it is a car 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 and now they know that they're virtual monopoly so they can basically they're suggesting they can do whatever they want. lots of our news stories are shaping up for noah but more a great program the star coming your way in moments here in our to international find out what's on offer wherever you are cross the globe today in moments by for now.
