in today's headlines the u.k. prime minister announces some tough new coronavirus restrictions with large fines for rule breakers after a surge in case numbers. similar measures are being rolled out across europe as the corona virus continues to spread and rights groups say more people are being hit the hardest. also this hour russia gets ready to start clinical trials of another 1000 vaccine across the country. and the united nations holds its 1st ever remote and general assembly meeting old leaders are now giving their video speeches with the pandemic and global conflicts are at the forefront.

it's now 6 pm here in moscow on this lovely tuesday evening i'm glad you decided to join us for world news update this hour the british prime minister has unveiled a range of new coronavirus restrictions to counter the latest surge in case numbers there will be enforced in england to start with and some are measures will later be rolled out in other parts of the u.k. ali reports from london. in the wake of the number of rising cases across the whole of the united kingdom when it comes to coated 19 the government have sprung back into action announcing a number of measures and in all of this in response really to those rising numbers with government experts health experts and scientific advisors all warning that the prospect of a 2nd wave is very real about all of these measures are absolutely necessary we always knew that while we might have driven the virus into retreat the prospect of

a 2nd wave was real and i'm sorry to say that as in spain and france and many other countries we've reached a perilous turning point but unless we probably make progress we should assume that the restrictions i've announced who remain in place for perhaps 6 months now some of these measures include workers working from home unless they have no ability at do so they also include the wearing of mosques being made mandatory to start working in shops in restaurants people in taxis and also finds increasing to 200 pounds up from 100 pounds if people refuse to wear a mosque in certain situations and also from thursday pubs restaurants and other hospitality industry outlets having to close at 10 pm that spock's quite some rituals online with a number of means making fun of the fact that apparently counted 19 only really

kicks in after 10 pm all of this very confusing for small business owners and members of the public in criticism also coming from m.p.'s in the house of commons including the leader of the opposition kist armitage says the government must do a better job but how it communicates to the public although we face criticism of the way the government is handling this pandemic when restrictions are needed the national interest lies in clear communications and cross party support mr speaker farmers across the country will be anxious today many are already living on the local lock down. maybe more fair that soon they will they're worried about their jobs about their love of whether they will be able to spend christmas with their family now those frustrations the thought that all of this could last 6 months worries about people's jobs and people's own civil liberties has led to tensions spilling over on the weekend we saw the protests in central london with thousands

of people mainly gathering peacefully to protest against lockdown measures but towards the end of the evening as the metropolitan police in london announced they would be clearing trafalgar square a number of caches kicked off between some protesters and police was. a d.d. was a good age. now with the coded cases rising once more the total amount of cases in the united kingdom reaching almost 400000 people not work anyway because there have been criticisms of how that the government has failed with regard to its testing regime there have been over

40000 deaths which of been attributed to coded 19 and the government really saying that as a result of these measures they appreciate wakas will be hit at government saying that they will support them where they can't but we already had earlier this year recent act the chancellor saying that steam such as the follow scheme where the government supports and supplements people's wages that it will be coming to an end at some point and so over the next 6 months if that is how long all of these measures last it could be really difficult for people both socially mentally psychologically but also economically. and it's not just the u.k. on the brink of a 2nd coronavirus wave several european nations including france and spain have seen a dramatic spike in cases as well health risks go along with the ongoing restrictions appear to be disproportionately affecting the poor charlotte devinsky reports. the coverage 19 pandemic has highlighted many problems from inadequate medical

resources to a lack of trust in governments around the world but perhaps the starkest issue that it's exposed is how different it is to experience a pandemic if you are poor compared to those with money. thank you thank you thank you thank you you. people in parts of madrid face new restrictions on movement there has been an grew over what some and labeling has segregation this is an example of government defense fear of people finally who neighborhoods all the districts can continue to enjoy their kids. the president of the community of madrid treats this area like a ghetto the virus's here but why does that mean the workers need to be locked up

it's even claimed in the evening at the opera highlighted the disparity in how people in the cheapest seats were treated they were in all of those in the more expensive seats below had adequate social distancing measures in place. social inequality has also been a topic for protestors in. while in the u.k. the editor of the. medical journal the lancet lambasted what he described as being

the true scale of social pathology underlying national crisis the gruner virus pandemic has exposed the reality of contemporary britain the countries defined by poverty insecurity and inequality science cannot guide the government in formulating this strategy a plan for britain's future must be guided instead of values and the lessons learned from the human consequences of this pandemic there has also been concern raised about for minority ethnic backgrounds who make up a 3rd of patients in the intensive care units we are continuing to see black asian and minority ethnic people suffering disproportionately in terms of intensive kid missions so not acting means that we're not protecting the vulnerable communities action was needed back in july and it's certainly needed now more than ever i think minorities so also for east issues here in france statistics from the government's own agency reveal that the disproportionate impact of early on in the

pandemic that's shot up by a 134 percent amongst north african immigrants it was up 219 percent for those who were born elsewhere in africa and it's not just saying europe that there are problems across the globe it's estimated the pandemic will have far reaching consequences with inequalities whitening an estimated $71000000.00 additional people will be living in extreme poverty due to covet 19 sudden asia in sub-saharan africa are expected to see the largest increases in extreme poverty would an additional 32000000 and 26000000 people respectively live in the large international poverty line as a result of the pandemic the european commission has pledged to aid poor countries with a vaccine when one is approved for use commission president. has said this. it was about ensuring its commitment to acquit to blacks as the world's poorest turned

into some vulnerable people but many people living in europe particularly those who exist on all points to the poverty line may be questioning where that help is then right now how are they expecting people to respond to this all over it's not just europe it's all over the world people are being asked to make sacrifices if people saw beneficial results from the wards coming out of the sacrifices in terms of a drop in the infection rate or an improvement in their general life circumstances then they probably would be compliant no more complied but at the moment seeing absolutely nothing and it seems to be getting worse by the day this is hitting all populations disproportionately the poorer and particularly ethnic minorities of being hit hardest the magic bullet of course that we're all after is

a vaccine the acid test will be who gets the vaccine quickest is evenly distributed the people there are worst affected should be the people who get the vaccine 1st. a russian health ministry is approved testing of another coronavirus vaccine clinical trials will begin soon in cities across the country with around $3000.00 volunteers a volved this comes a month after russia registered its 1st carbon vaccines but mcvie my colleague kevin owen spoke to our correspondent richard knox never about the new trial. this brand new vaccine has no name yet but we know how it works it is a so-called inactivated chronic virus vaccine meaning it contains the deadly virus in it but it has been we came to we've been killed depending so that it cannot infect cells or replicate but still is capable of setting off a needed response from the immune system of the body so it's quite a tricky thing the trials 7 are indeed about to start very soon in 3 russian cities

3000 volunteers are expected to take part after the injection they will be isolated in 16 days this will the particle require is under close supervision of scientists and doctors and we expect to hear the 1st results by the end of november and this is russia's 3rd to corona virus vaccine entering human trials another one is a factor we expect it's registration within the next month but there we don't think it's race so far here in russia ease of course the drug known as sputnik be it is the end in a virus based viral factor vaccine meaning it has a new deadly virus in aids and i have to say that aids why divided the world's scientific community and those who are worried about 8 and are concerned about the speed of its development and doubt its effectiveness just earlier this month around

40 experts signed an open letter expressing their concerns and expressing their attitude towards russian vaccine and on the yusuf thank russia for aids research and among those lost who are thankful to was russia at the head of the world health organization's european off its let's take a listen to little music is dated appreciative. for being devoted to the full $94.00 seem to be pushing for the letter saying it isn't for that easy. getting to the front of the scene for. mystic look it is in russia's capital today by the way here the city moscow's telemedicine center and we expect to meet him later today on a flyer site bluebell be able to talk about the russian backseat means for you one of the early volunteers who came forward to say the year you try this sport legs the question is what happened you know were the any any contra indications are you

feeling alright other than go there by god and spook me into action on saturday or maybe cover he was a placebo because this is a so-called double blind trial when neither participant or doctors know who eaves receiving what kind of drug is it a drag ople see but no one knows and actually i don't know whether i'll have the answer to this question at all and this is the idea of these trials so i got it on saturday whatever it was and in the next day i felt quite bad to be honest as if i had some kind of earth virus so i was starting and so i got muscles p. i got some you had a it was very hard for me to concentrate in terms of vision. and it faded away like next day so it just lasted around like 16 hours but i was again under the

supervision of doctors are like you know millions of them called me during the day osteen i mean my feelings about my how so and i hear them people praise me for taking part in this trial i'm one of the run 40000 to 56 paid actually in phase 3 of the clinical trials will be but i don't fly in that agree that there is like bravery or harrison behind these moves because i entered the trial after face one and 2 were complete and the goal of the 1st 2 stages eastern. that the vaccine all the drug is safe so i don't put myself into any danger but the reason chance that i mean after this injection if it was not to placebo my body can produce on antibiotics and i can be able to receive school run a virus so and this is what i just created in the straw for all of these chance to be able to receive these from the virus that is i mean putting the world in such

a mess for the last 8 months. britain's 1st refugee camp has opened its doors a former army barracks and folkestone and southeast england one house up to 400 asylum seekers local authorities have expressed their concerns saying they were never consulted over the new facility as well as a surge in sea crossings with almost $6500.00 migrants crossing the english channel in small boats since the start of the year. or.

the. peanuts we don't want it over the over the paper the plight of baby it's got big don't you fuckin know every match ups to get to use this is happened quite quickly we 1st found out about it maybe 2 weeks ago and we've had a lot of questions none of which we've had such a structure has to yet i think is a good idea because school. many buildings hear that and i think these people have something which you know so you to be really seeking to say to them that's good enough to do it in the could mean it is good and bad you don't know what we don't know. it might be just very great to be. i don't know the reason against this is just a very nice to a community and people have been treated me very nice new launch of them doing like

a shake and she just got me a little bit she the let's see it beat this if you choose me i say keep it stand up for the seat company and for going to get there was a. twitter has apologized for an image cropping feature which some users have branded racists algorithm apparently shows a preference for white or black faces a social networking firm has said it's working on a fix to prove the point one user place an image up republican senator mitch mcconnell mcconnell above one of barack obama when generating a photo preview automatically cropped out the former president and the same thing happened with other combinations of black and white people more surprisingly about the twitter algorithm appeared to prefer yellow over red simpsons characters and golden over black labradors now it's not the 1st such controversy is due muser earlier question why his dark skin colleague was vanishing during

a virtual meeting and video conferencing firm later explained that the software can sometimes mistake a human face for background social media lawyer cohen gave us his views on the twitter scandal. the reason why twitter appears to be cropping images in the 1st place is to make the images more acceptable to the eye perhaps more pleasant to the i a this is part of the of the greeting that the did the machine is being fed with the by east is institutional by the what did the by see something that people deliberately cause when we talk about institutional buy see might be talking about statistics being fed into day into the machine about people's preferences about all sorts of information that ate the year end it causes some sort of prejudice against a particular group of people with the recent this is more of

a technical issue rather than something that the machine had to learn from from people. leaders are now addressing the united nations and the general assembly's 1st ever virtual session and we've heard so far heard from the presidents of brazil turkey the us china and now chile for all the latest we can cross now live to our. york kaleb tell us about what's unfolded so far. well verbal sparring diplomats using undiplomatic language the occasional hot mike moment bursts of laughter from the gallery well none of that will be happening this year because of the pandemic the un general assembly is being held in a virtual virtual format basically being held remotely most of the remarks by key leaders of all of them really have been prerecorded it seems that at this point

we've got u.n. secretary general of the u.n. secretary general is really one of the only key figures actually on the scenes at the manhattan headquarters of the united nations take a listen. to the world needs a global ceasefire to stop all hawks conflicts but at the same time we must do every scene to avoid the new cold war. now certainly a noble goal but there are hot conflicts taking place in afghanistan yemen libya and elsewhere and they don't appear to be on the brink of stopping anytime soon meanwhile when donald trump addressed the united nations general assembly his remarks took a jab at china which don't seem to really be remarks that are going to lead us closer to global peace and cooperation take a take a listen to the words from the u.s. president. we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the

world china the united nations by this whole china accountable for their actions in addition every year it shut it dumps millions and millions of tons of plastic and trash into the oceans those who attack america is exceptional environmental record while ignoring china it is rampant pollution are not interested in the environment now those are not exactly words of peace but rather words of. anger pointing with donald trump blaming china for the pandemic among other things now when the chinese president spoke and he emphasized the need for international co-operation between countries this is what we heard from the leader of china. facing the us we should solve it and get this through together any attempt of politicizing the issue of those stigmatization must be rejected now heads of state continue to address the

u.n. g.a. with their pre recorded messages that are being shown to the general assembly body and are available to watch online now we're expecting to hear later today from russian president vladimir putin the leader of cuba and many other important heads of state as the day goes on. are to scale moppin say across the u.n. general assembly for us thank you. almost 200 world leaders politicians lawyers and academics are urging britain to free wiki leaks founder julian assange is behind bars waiting for a london court to rule on his extradition to the u.s. and that call came in the form of an open letter to the government and a member of lawyers for a songe as this case is clearly politicized. piece of sound is very clear cut morally there there is no doubt who is in the right and who is in the wrong on the one hand we have a journalist who has exposed incredible work crimes and torture and corruption on

the other hand we have the embarrassed superpower that wants to prosecute him it couldn't be more black and white than this as legal experts we can see unequivocally that what is going on is a political process songes accused of leaking a trove of secret u.s. military and diplomatic documents as extradition hearing has been delayed by the covert pandemic proceedings have been repeatedly marred by protests outside the court building with public figures and political activists coming to support him former m.p. george galloway and rapper am i a reacted to the developments. i think. it was just nice. i wish i could tell him the ways that you know. changing and people's press freedom would just. be trees speak freely on the internet is actually way. then it was

a year ago and so much censorship is the trial is back on again but you use the best war that i've heard to describe it trudging on it's trudging all day in complete silence of the british media are covering this story after all even though it's the trial of the jury row. and the heart of london in some cases a few 100 yards away from the big media houses but none of them attend none of them are interested even though for the journalists in those media houses if julian our sons goes down so does journalism and where he goes there might one day be forced to follow we know how the case is going it's going extremely badly for the u.s. government and the british government the tragedy is that probably won't make any difference at all. the world's richest one percent cause double the carbon

pollution of half the world's population and according to a new oxfam report the 25 year study found the make a wealthy as carbon budget was also higher than the entire population of the e.u. put together if left unchecked the emissions would be enough to increase the earth's temperature by one and i have to agree celsius in just the next decade and one of the report's authors warns the rich are simply getting richer. but we said this is the result of government policies in most countries around the world that have seen over the last 20 to 30 years economic inequality really explode the global rich are using up the carbon budget just in the process of getting even richer but we also need to do more to reduce the outsized carbon footprint of the richest people and that means things like much higher taxes on luxury carbon consumption by big highly polluting cars pretty quick
