by various people on tuesday here in moscow welcome to world news and reaction from r.t. international 1st for you then to britain the prime minister there's a range of new coronavirus restrictions to counter the latest case numbers out also boris johnson's one of tough penalties for those who failed to abide by the regulations. so that minority who may continue to flout the rules we will enforce those rules with tougher penalties and fines of up to $10000.00 pounds we will put more police out on the streets and use the army to backfill if necessary and there was no medical advisers a rightly worried about the data not the risks overwinter. they are unanimous that things will be far better by the spring on the near all fallen issue of air force in england and similar measures are going to be introduced in

other parts of the u.k. artie's easterly has the details. in the wake of the number of rising cases across the whole of the united kingdom when it comes to coated 19 the government how strong 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 now the prospect of a 2nd wave is very real about all of these measures are absolutely necessary now some of these measures include workers working from home unless they have no ability to 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 sparks quite some

ridicule 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 kids standage says the government must do a better job but how it communicates to the public although we fierce criticism of the way the government's handling this pandemic when restrictions are needed for 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 downs many more fair that soon they will they're worried about their jobs about their loved ones of whether they will be able to spend christmas with their family so will the government now. his government's gross incompetence over testing over tracing over clear communications that have led to these latest restrictions on people's daily lies he says he's going to put his arms around how

well many millions of the self-appointed have not the benefit of that embrace a prime minister do not to work on the scrapheap through no fault of their own now those trust ratios 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 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 clashes kicked off between some protesters and police was now with the coded cases rising once more the total amount of cases in the united

kingdom reaching almost 400000 people now 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 98 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 schemes 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. well as lisa mentions the new restrictions for england included temp am closing time for bars and restaurants and that seemingly arbitrary deadlines to

a fair bit of ridicule of lying these are just some of the names that are doing the rounds right now about out of the we spoke to thinks the government will need to ensure the businesses don't fall to do to the new rules. yes you are now this is a tough time everyone's trying to support businesses that they want to see get through that this represents something to their communities you know we're well stocked it's providing jobs for lots of people 80 percent of our trade that's the most is that i didn't actually happens oftentimes that's quite a significant chunk that we're taking out of our. revenue stream i'm going to need more support for starters i don't want to see mustard on that i'm certainly going to need support and run because we haven't you know it's the last 6 months we've got another month to use morrow and then god knows what's going to happen for the next 6 months everyone in this country who's in a sort of relatively unaffected age bracket young people 18404550 they're just going to go home and continue the policy that we put so many measures

in place and spent a fortune on making all of our license and use coded secure surely the most sensible place to have people consuming drinks and keeping safe keeping socially distance is within these promises albertans not alone in being on the brink of a 2nd coronavirus wave european nations including france and spain if in a dramatic spiking cases and the health risks along with the ongoing restrictions are paid to be disproportionately affecting the poor shiela do better get reports next. everything going to the pandemic is highlighted probables problem inadequate medical resources see what i lack of trust in governments around the world perhaps the starkest that gets exposed is how different it is to experience a pandemic if you are poor compared to those with money. you would. you would you.

as people and possibly do in face a new restrictions on movement there has been an uproar over what some of the. blink was so good they should this is an example of a gone and the defense fear of people confined poor neighborhoods all the districts can continue to enjoy their kids. the president of the community of madrid streets this area like a ghetto the virus is 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. told those in the expensive seats below had adequate social distancing measures in place. if.

social inequality has also been a topic for protesters 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 the 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 care admissions so not acting means that we're not protecting all vulnerable communities action was needed back in july and it's certainly needed now more than ever i think minorities so also faced issues here in france statistics from the government's own agency reveal that the disproportionate impact of code 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 on 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 to use commission president. has said this was about ensuring its commitment to equitable access to the world's poorest and most 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 for the wards coming out of sacrifice in terms of a drop in the infection rate or an improvement in their general life circumstances then they probably. we would be compliant no more complied but at the moment and nothing seems to be getting worse by the day this is all populations disproportionately the poorer and particularly ethnic minorities of being here to harvest the magic bullet of course that we're all a is a vaccine the acid test will be who gets the vaccine quicker is it. the people there are worst affected should be the people who get the vaccine person . the russian health ministry is approved testing of another coronavirus vaccine clinical trials will begin soon in cities across the country involving around $33000.00 volunteers and comes a month after russia registered its 1st covert vaccine called sputnik feet more

about the new trials from correspondent. is brand new vaccine has no name yet but we know how it works it is a so-called inactivated corona virus vaccine meaning it contains the deadly virus but it has been weakened or even killed depending so that it cannot infect cells or replicate but still is capable of setting off any needed response from the immune system of the body so it's quite a tricky thing the trials 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 for 16 days this what the pasta cold 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 corona virus vaccine entering human trials another one is vector we expect its registration within the next month but there we know of

this race so far here in russia ease of course the drug known as nick to be it is the adenovirus based viral vector. vaccine meaning it has no deadly virus a need and among those who are thankful to is russia. they had all for the world health organization's you were peanut office let's take a listen. to you is there a reason. for being diverted we're going. to begin the. letter written. for. the front of the. i have to say that aids quite divided worlds scientific community and those who think russia for its research i don't do those who are worried about aids and are concerned about the speed of its development and doubt it's a fact of news just earlier this month around 40 experts signed an open letter

expressing their concerns and expressing their attitude towards russia in fact say mr clegg is in the russian capital now this is in moscow telemedicine center that you can see behind me i think the chance to talk to him and to discuss this witness is my question of course is the top russian but it seems now we're talking about the scenes around 3 of them right now what do you think about them and why there are so much skepticism right now the russian federation has objectively a long history for folks in development manufacturing and also take that is no reason that they seek to be skeptical but of course like any over could. there are certain criteria that the character has prior to you one of the early volunteers who came forward to say that yeah you try this the question is what happened you know. and the and the contra indications. i got

the injection on saturday or maybe kava it was a placebo because this is a so-called double blind trial when neither participant or doctors know who easy. receiving what kind of a drug is it a drug ople a civa 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 was some kind of virus was starting so i got muscles pain i got some headache it was very hard for me to concentrate in terms of vision. it faded away like next day so it just lasted around like 16 hours but i was again under the supervision of doctors like millions of them called me during the day asking i mean about my feelings about my health so i hear people praise me for taking part in

this trial i am one of the around 40000 to participate actually in phase 3 of the clinical trials but i don't quite agree that there is like bravery or hair reason behind these moves because i entered the trial after phase $1.00 and $2.00 were complete and the goal of the 1st 2 stages is to prove that the vaccine or the drug is saved 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 anti-bodies and i can be able to resist corona virus and this is what are you participating in this trial for for this chance to be able to resist this corona virus that is i mean put in the world in such a mass for the last 8 months this is our take on the way

a mixed reaction to britain's 1st refugee camp this is r.t. . is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you than. welcome back world leaders address the united nations and the general assembly's 1st ever virtual session day once ok video speeches including from donald trump xi jinping and the team a potent washing across in new york is kind of. the russian president gave a message to the un general assembly that was a message of peace he called for a mill lobel fight against the corona virus and he talked about how at this point russia is offering its vaccine free of charge to all u.n.

staff as a measure to help the global efforts against the pandemic now when speaking the russian president emphasized the need for cooperation internationally and he talked about the importance of the veto the u.n. security council for ensuring a balance of power in the global community and this veto power should be preserved furthermore he talked about illegal sanctions and how they are impeding the fight against coded 19 this is the president of russia. i would like to draw attention once again to russia's proposal to create so-called green color to use free from trade was unsung sions primarily for essential goods needed to fight the punt a mic in general freeing the world trade from power is bones restrictions and illegitimate son actions would be of great very long civilizing global growth under

which you sing unemployment now these words were largely seen as being directed at washington for its newly imposed sanctions issued against the islamic republic of iran despite their full compliance with the nuclear deal now in his remarks putin also emphasized the need to preserve the strategic arms reduction treaty an important treaty between the united states and russia is set to expire in february now it's important to remember because the pandemic they're not actually gathering in new york city the key heads of state are giving their addresses and it's actually on the scene at the manhattan u.n. headquarters this is how he opened the day's events. needs a good. cease fire to stop all hot conflicts but at the same time we must do every scene to avoid the new cold war now that's certainly a noble goal however there are hot conflicts taking place right now in afghanistan

in libya in yemen and other places and they don't appear to be stopping a despite the global pandemic and the calls of international leaders now donald trump's remarks that we heard weren't exactly deescalating international tensions donald trump took particular aim at china take a listen why we have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless lives in 188 countries we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in addition every year it shut it dumps millions and millions of tons of plastic and trash into the oceans those who attack america's exceptional environmental record while ignoring china it is rampant pollution are not interested in the environment not exactly the language of diplomacy and deescalation donald trump was pretty clearly pointing a finger at china blaming china for much of the problems in the world today now we

also heard from the chinese leader president xi jinping and when he spoke he emphasized that china is not seeking an international confrontation but rather has a vision for global peace and shared shared destiny of humanity based on win win cooperation this is the chinese president facing the swiss should solve it and get this through together any attempts of politicizing the issue of those stigmatization must be rejected china is the largest developing country in the world a country that is committed to peaceful and cooperative and clement development who will never seek could germany extension always fear oath includes. we have no intention to affirm that either a cold war or a halt with any country. now we are also heard earlier from the president of cuba from the president of turkey and other heads of state should be speaking throughout the day and later this week the un general assembly continues however it's held

virtually this year because of the pandemic not actually gathering at the headquarters in manhattan as is usually done. a psychiatrist who examined you're going to saunter concluded the wiki leaks founder would be at high risk of suicide if he was sent to the united states professor michael kopelman spoke at the extradition hearing in london on tuesday expressed concerns about a song his mental health he's made various plans and undergone various preparations searches confess to the catholic priest who granted to map solution began to draw farewell letters to family members includes friends he's drawn up to will i conclude at the risk of suicide if extradition became imminent or should actually happen would be very high i mean so i'm more than $160.00 current world full of current and former world leaders along with no make it diplomats have called for julian assange just release they've all signed an open letter to the british government appealing for that the wiki leaks founder is currently in prison in the u.k. awaiting a decision on whether he will be extradited to the u.s.

to face espionage charges a member of the group of lawyers for a song says that the case is being highly 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 and legal experts we can see and equivocally that what is going on is a political process saunters accused of leaking a trove of secret u.s. military and diplomatic documents as extradition hearings being delayed by the covert and the proceedings have been repeatedly mocked by protest outside court public figures and political activists coming to support high profile supporters of a song to be giving their latest reactions. i think. it is

just nice. i wish i could tell him the ways that you know well it is changing and people's press freedom would just. be trees speak freely on the internet is actually way where this then it was the area and say much since it is it's drudging law and in complete silence none of the british media are covering this story after all even though it's the trial of the century right in the heart of london in some cases a few 100 yards away from the big media houses but none of them none of them are interested even though all 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 idea that such a person should be extradited given these grave health issues is extraordinary and in the forgivable and contrary to basic human rights principles there's been a number of cases in recent years where people who have also been up for extradition to the united states have had it actually blocked by the british courts on the grounds that the mental trauma and risk to their mental health and even the potentiality of suicide would be too grave to justify extradition so that is a precedent in the british courts but i do know there is an incredible determination on the part of the british government in alliance with the us government to get a sanch to the us regardless. ok that's you all to use for this hour up next why

trying to do your bit for the title of a climate emergency by buying green might be doing more to help big corporations than saving mother earth it's next on our to. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. no day or thinks. we dare to ask.

we are segregated to anywhere by social class laws fail fast people also in poverty by 1st plane if you're born into a poor family ocular born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years younger than if you're born into generational poverty. it's a fact it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. and. the silence here is earring.

this is all going to be a palm oil plantations. less this is a session we have and make is a. national get out of an owned. business and have them on them they know now many people who. claim colonising.
