secure legal protection to commit crimes following ongoing battles of the limits for the security service in undercover operations. well over a good day from russia then my name is kevin no inherent artie's will do you send this with a half hour around for you know to stay with me to take you through all the stories we started with covert and it's not great news is a good guess you've gathered already 1st off francis sets a new daily coded record with more than 16000 cases registered in the past 24 hours on wednesday the french government announced new measures to contain the spread of the virus health authorities have set up graded danger levels to cover alert reinforced alert and maximum zones areas with more than $150.00 cases per 100000 people is shown in red while the worst hit areas with more than $250.00
5:02 am
cases per 100008 marked dark red in face the strictest measures but business owners fuming. many have taken to the streets in paris they're saying they simply won't survive fresh closures bars and restaurants have already been ordered to shutter must say while in the red zones like paris opening hours from next week been restricted now to 10 pm as a said discontent is spiralling over it. somebody who can travel on the metro close to each other masked how is it that we cannot be in a bar or restaurant respecting the instructions and rules imposed have to log down rules to devise majority respect. support of the people of bring them all my friendship and solidarity it can happen to paris in a few days' time and if they ask us to close longer be able to return today we say
5:03 am
let us work we want to be able to work we know how to work and we know what precautions to take. there are health rules to apply we apply them but on the other hand the government is bludgeoning us they are hitting us with this but you should know that they can hit even harder so today we are here calmly but it can quickly escalate. but french told us without such measures in place the situation could be even more disastrous. densely populated places in big cities especially in bars and restaurants people can forget that they need to take precautions if you go to a bar or restaurant was such a high transmission risk you could then infect your family members with the virus so far we do not have a vaccine and the recommended measures are temporary and as the minister said they will be revised in 2 weeks if we do nothing it will lead us to a public health emergency when i hear what some politicians have to say i think we
5:04 am
need to ask people who have been in intensive care they really know what we are talking about. meantime britain could soon become the 1st country to carry out so-called challenge trials with a coronavirus vaccine that would involve deliberately exposing volunteers to the live virus the financial times newspaper citing insiders working on the project then saying the trials could start in january a quarantine facility in london volunteers would reportedly receive a vaccine and then a dose of the actual virus a month later but there's already been online backlash over it over the question of all morality of the move. volunteers or not how can this be ethical and corona virus infection can be fatal one do what we would be saying about this if it was russia not u.k. project risky reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky are the human challenge trials the academic lead on the trials did not confirm the report the
5:05 am
british government has also not confirm the details of the scheme but has said it's open to conducting such studies we heard from a microbiologist simon clark of britain's university of reading who says the move may not be ideal but these are desperate times. so unusual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a back seat would me wouldn't be so be so strong it's no more an optimal way of doing it ideally you'd let it get the fact the virus normally. needs must with the devil brought back so it gets the rule on this and we've really got to be able to come up with a vaccine in pretty short order so i think some people think this is a way of doing it you know you need to it's a sub optimal way of trying no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country and spring were gone by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill many
5:06 am
of whom were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant. so the hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem. here to no escape with a growing number catching covert across russia 6 and a half 1000 in the last 24 hours alone now moscow today calling on people in high risk groups in particular to only go out if essential here we go again roman cultures across this he's in the center of the capital today so nice he didn't want to hear this news everyone expected but we we go again then you know what else is the russian government said on the spiking cases row. well indeed the number of cases has been the growing in russia recently over the last couple of weeks in fact now russian consumer watchdog drugs or wall there are saying that it's not the 2nd wave of coal that they're actually calling it calling it the continuation of the
5:07 am
1st wave meanwhile russian health ministry officials said that the number of serious call the cases remains at the same level at this point now in moscow this league doctors registers so wise as many patients with coal bed as they did. a week before that officials an official numbers this friday in the russian capital stand at over $1500.00 people now the authorities claim that everything is being done in order to avoid a massive shutdown so they have issued the following recommendations let's take a look so retarded people and those with chronic illnesses should try and stay home as much as possible and if they do need to go outside just like everyone else they need to wear protective gear like masks and gloves now everyone should also limit their visits to shops and pharmacies as well as visits to close relatives and loved
5:08 am
ones in in case they live separately also some large scale employers here in moscow have been advised to send as many people as possible so work remotely or even have them take a vacation now if the employees do need to come to work they need to observe social distancing rules and of course wear protective gear like masks and gloves now moscow mayor says that the capital saw a spike in the number of covert b. cases and this is showing this it's your situation is becoming more difficult let's have a listen to sergei sedan and. unfortunately in moscow in recent days we have seen a significant increase in the number of covert positive cases what's more the cold is approaching that means a traditional increase in diseases doctors say that to illnesses together could result in dangerous and serious consequences especially for the elderly and those suffering from chronic diseases that's why for monday we are asking you to stay at
5:09 am
home. so on a country scale we have 7000 more than 7000 new cases of call we had that were just heard by this friday now despite these high numbers president putin said that russia is going through this pandemic period all but better than other countries but he also said that it's no time to relax or tread lightly let's have a listen. what you can prove. otherwise they will expand it's going to be a very tough challenge through citizens through a country and through economy. now some health officials are also saying that the this new spike in you call that cases is due to the fact that more people are being tested for corona virus with the rollout of 3rd stage of this. vaccine in russia more and more people are becoming interested in becoming the
5:10 am
volunteers in this 3rd stage so they're getting tested and they want to be 1st to become inoculated now everyone also remembers that i am when almost and sire economies have been shut down due to restrictions however this authorities in russia are hoping it's not going to go that far and they say they have they have everything under control. here you go to be so careful enough the initial shock of the ship we've all kind of got a handle on where it's going to be but it's still uncertain times in the. briefness roman culture of central moscow so what's happening in russia re vaccines except let me talk about that next with the meantime medics here in moscow in 11 polyclinics on the front lines of the anti covert fight have started taking shots of the new russian vaccine against corona virus themselves we spoke to one particular special medical worker who battled the smallpox epidemic back in the 1960 s.
5:11 am
and who is now one of the 1st to get the new job this is her story. as soon as i heard there would be in 3 days of the vaccine trial and there would be a lot of people i told my donor please sign me out i want to be vaccinated. of all who might be given a vaccination none of them have come back and reported any side is that means.
5:12 am
i 1st and foremost have never been afraid of getting a vaccination i've gotten them since i was a child i was given a little bottle with a not be relation and then i was vaccinated without any fear or tears and due to my profession and down plenty of an occupation so. away from covert some other news now today major car companies including tesla of fod lawsuits against the trumpet ministration for unlawful tire of song chinese made parts as the u.s. president's trade war in beijing leaves american firms struggling to find alternative manufacturers sask a telescope the story. fost in serious speeding it's way to dominating the car industry but it may have reached a bit of a roadblock increase tariffs schools economics. through the increase of course and
5:13 am
the impact of profitability due to the complexity of the 3 car computer and the demanding time lines necessary for teslas exponential growth to say is unable to find another manufacturer to meet our requirements tesla has filed a lawsuit against the trumpet ministration why what components the company uses namely the computer tips are made in china and as luck would have it these parts are subject to 25 percent tariffs as part of trump's tough on china strategy edo musk says it's a car crash and the tariffs are all poetry capricious and in a piece of this question probably not what a president wants to hear from one of his country's greatest minds who he's fine gold in the past is one of our great geniuses that we have to protect and with mosques a single says probably not what trump had in mind when he promised to make america great again protecting our workers are protecting our companies to trade war hurts
5:14 am
them doesn't hurt us with a hole in his pocket now musk is asking for a refund with interest of course on all the tax he's already had to pay and tess is not the only company spinning out of the big hits is like miss a days for volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is that while these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing that they've been a road to diversification i don't create profit. due to trade friction between china and us puts pressure on companies whose main market is the us the value of exposed to the us is decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and has enlarged known u.s. markets well the. the u.s. market for chinese products has shrunk so china's overall exports keep growing better words no doubt for president trump who 4 years ago said the cards were in
5:15 am
american hands but we have the cards don't forget we're like the piggy back this being wrapped we can't get to you to allow china to rape our country and that's what they're doing it's their greatest theft in the history of the world while for years aren't the u.s. trade deficit with china is almost 10 percent more than one trump said those wads and 4 years on it looks like it's now tester and co who are the ones looking into that piggy banks and saying empty words not those gold coins they were promised. rights activists in britain warning against new legislation to let undercover agents get away with serious crimes including murder there is a grave danger that this bill could and are providing informers agents with a license to kill it is deeply alarming that the proposed law does not explicitly prohibit and my 5 and other agencies from authorizing crimes like torture and
5:16 am
killing it must be amended to do sell this new legislation said to be introduced this week to allow agents to carry are necessary and proportionate offenses the full list of crimes that can be allowed is not disclosed birth allegedly the bill sets no limits the government insists the bill is compliant with the european convention on human rights and doesn't provide a license to kill we discussed the issue with former british intelligence agent and emotional. our spy agencies in the u.k. are the most legally protected and least accountable of any spy agencies in any notion of western democracy and this is just another law that will protect them so i have some sympathy for the agents in the field who want to be sure that if they have to do something that's illegal to protect their life save their lives or get information will save others lives yes they do want to be protected and that's right however if this is going to be another warrant system which is basically and i 5 would have to request a warrant from the ethical march to the home secretary. and then they would have
5:17 am
immunity that is why do you come to abuse and this is one of the things that. were reported way back in 1980 when the warranty system is a tick box exercise government ministers always sign off on them because they don't want to take the risk that something might happen if they don't. and they can be gamed so it's a sort of a state of notional democratic oversight and notionally national legal protection but actually i think it's part of a bigger power grab that's going on amongst our intelligence agencies the u.k. . this is our to international i'm kevin i would think you for being with us coming up britain's hailed a commitment to a new energy source but by oil majors the critics see a trick may be bringing more.
5:18 am
seem wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to sleep out does the attic. and it gets right because the trail. went down they need by themselves worlds apart wait she's to look for common ground . wall street financial engineers the kleptocrats divert. money printing into their pockets at a rate that according to the rand corporation equals more than $50.00 trillion dollars so that is your god that's why we have social unrest that's why we have incredible wealth and income gap that's why we have such a distorted economy that's why wages are not keeping up that's why we've got inflation raging that's your smoking gun in the story.
5:19 am
again more than 100 media organizations have part of the highly divisive decision by french satirical magazine charlie hebdo 2 republics cartoons about the islamic religion shela dubin skis in paris and picks up the story for us. in the wake of all this surely to trial the satirical magazine which was attacked by terrorists in 2015 as we published some of its most controversial cartoons depicting the muslim prophet mohammed sharply to use as it is described as being essential but it provokes condemnation from several muslim countries such
5:20 am
a deliberate act to offend the sentiments of billions of muslims cannot be justified as an excuse and press freedom and freedom of expression such actions undermine the global aspirations for peaceful coexistence as well as social and interfaith harmony and soon the publication the magazine received a death threat. charlie hebdo is once again threatened by a terrorist organization threats that constitute a real provocation in the midst of the trial of the january 2015 attacks. i had 10 minutes to gather my things and leave my home 10 minutes to leave behind a part of my life that's a bit short it's very brutal. he was told the french media have now banded together calling on people to stand by the magazine more than 100 french news outlets have offered their backing the enemies of freedom must understand that we
5:21 am
are all together the 1st opponents regardless of our differences of opinion or beliefs the appeal is to defend their right to speak arabic to publish freely solidarity for surely ever do may be the central theme but the letter is also touching on the broader dangers that are facing those who publish critical content . that journalists are under threat almost all over the world no reason to think they're in more or less danger in france there are 25 journalists who are dead in europe during past years in the past few weeks alone the french president lashed out at a veteran reporter just for failing to consult with the government press office over the story. what you have done taking into account the sensitivity of the subject is irresponsible you have always heard me defend journalists and i always will but i tell you frankly what you did was serious unprofessional and mean r.t.
5:22 am
is also in the president's firing line. rushes in speed nick have not behaved as media outlets and journalists because agencies of influence and propaganda rushdie and speak nick have several times bred false it's about me and my campaign that's why they have not been invited to my headquarters all of which makes the climate of reporting shall we say wrong difficult it was every day for that you called many journalists just threatened by different groups mafia far right. crazy people etc journalists should be careful the political climate in france to what journalists haven't gone any better now than in other countries some may say that press is supported better now but it's my subversive pluralism is under attack journalists are under attack and there are more and more laws against professional secrecy that affect journalists and so on take care of the fine line between pushing the
5:23 am
boundaries aren't outright provocation the likes of shirley eb there will always divide opinion but a world where journalists are able to tell their stories here is surely something that none of us want to see color t.v. 14 hour us. britain's announced a massive commitment to so-called green hydrogen as part of efforts to be carbon neutral by 2050 problem is to boris johnson says he's a convert. quite extraordinary potential we have hope for when we want to lead in carbon capture and storage of technology i barely believe was possible but i'm not a complete evangelist. we want to use those technologies to develop a lot of hydrogen will put a great big bit on hydrogen. thought a lot of purposes and not least the ability that hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt for. the trucks the trains even perhaps the
5:24 am
plains vehicles well pay per green hydrogen seems to be an excellent alternative to fossil fuels it's made using renewable energy and the only by products or oxygen of water but professor of mechanical engineering davis said bob points out the technology is also incredibly inefficient. buzan economy. through green green arjun you have to build a very large amount of renewable electricity just to give you an example if you have our home heating directly through with tricity or you do the same thing through hydrogen you need 6 times more electricity to do it through harder and we are at a time in human life when the amount of renewable electricity is limited
5:25 am
scarce there is not freely available interest the we are trying to to. to her own eyes the entire global energy system and to require 6 times more power for one system than another it's completely obvious that you don't want to do that the hydrogen task force a lobbying group founded by the likes of all giants b.p. and shell has been pushing the government to commit to either gin for the long run one of the goals is 100 percent clean hydrogen hating in the country but 2025 there's also call for financial support to build hydrogen fuel stations for road transport but critics of this dash to hydrogen warm fossil fuel mage's know hydrogen won't solve the planet's climate goals. we know that global warming is dangerous the additional danger here is that is that this gesture hydrogen
5:26 am
is caught is going to cause a lot more delay what we will see there is no doubt that we'll see that hydrogen is far too expensive for vehicles and far too expensive for home heating oil we know that we know that's going to happen but it's going to take quite a few years before people realize that that's the dash to hydrogen which is being promoted by a very powerful international lobby. in the in the in the fossil fuel industry well that's doing is causing delays it's causing electrification projects not to happen it's causing governments not to make decisions about what to do and you remember that we only have until 2040 to completely decarbonise if we're going to get to one of the 2 groups of global warming it's detrimental to carbon emissions it's detrimental to energy usage there to mental to the current session rates and still a commendable to the energy security so it's got everything there that and nothing good with it. as the battle for the u.s.

presidency gains momentum donald trump or suggested he may not accept defeat and a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the race which he shot rival joe biden then amongst others artie's caleb maupin looks at how history might be repeating itself ending in the supreme court should the election end in stalemate. there is always plenty of anticipation and tension in the lead up to a u.s. presidential election however 2020 stands out this year people aren't so much worried about who wins but rather what will happen after victory is declared donald trump made jaws drop when he refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses to joe biden on november 3rd you have to see what happens you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballot surges esther and been able to ride do you commit to making
5:28 am
sure that there's a nice little worries for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and you have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there will be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation that sounds pretty ominous if you're a democrat and it's given fuel to joe biden's pretrial of trump as a would be dictator were pretty grueling. being facetious i said what country or were you. says the most rational thing my. mother would say but it's not just donald trump hillary clinton has advised joe biden not to concede to donald trump under any circumstances in other words not to promise a peaceful transition either joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think this is going to drag out and eventually i do believe he will win it so if no clear victory is determined on election night it could end up following the trajectory of the 2000 elections where the supreme court ended up picking who
5:29 am
the winner was donald trump is already anticipating such circumstances i think this will end up in the supreme court and i think it's very important that we have 9 justices now that's convenient because the republicans could soon have a stranglehold over the supreme court a clear 63 majority the passing of supreme court judge. just ruth bader ginsburg has set the stage for a big fight on capitol hill about who is going to replace her on the u.s. supreme court now do you remember how ugly things got with brett kavanaugh well this time the stakes are much higher kaleb mop and artsy new york will continue to follow the twists and turns with us live from now check it out tito come right of us social media for all the headlines as they have him straight to mobile device to kevin all in something out of the great.
5:30 am
cash cow and he's darn alfonzo among his darned this change from page he's dard. his 1st words were at a lot of us here a challenging post you've got to use to me. i have no doubt that what happened was criminal. offense concentrate makis $1000000000.00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to solve these problems there are numerous stocks showing that doctors were keen to test facts right concentrates for infectivity on the patients won't give them doctors the wrongs to play. her system why they would keep me.
