security service in undercover operations. one of the afternoon here now so very good day from russia my name's kevin owen here at artie's world news center with this. for you great to have you company by the way not great news to start there i'm afraid we're talking for the 1st few minutes of the program in france to set a new daily record with more than 16000 cases registered in the past 24 hours on wednesday the french government announced new measures than to contain the spread of the virus health authorities have set up graded danger levels to cover alert reinforced alert maximum alert zones areas with more than $150.00 cases per 100000 people are shown in red while the worst hit areas with more than $250.00
6:02 am
cases per 100000 mark dark red and face the strictest measures but business owners a few. the keys for lock down of course many have taken to the streets in paris warning they simply won't survive fresh closures bars and restaurants already been shut in a while in red zones like paris opening hours from next week when restricted to 10 pm as a said discontent is spiralling over it. i don't know if we 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 after the all down rules that the vast majority of us packed. 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 we will no longer be able to return today we say let us work we want to be able to work we know how to work and we know
6:03 am
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. a lot of anger but french talk to mark told us without such measures in place the situation could turn even more disastrous. but 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
6:04 am
need to ask people who have been in intensive care they really know what we are talking about. those fronts meantime britain could soon become the 1st country to carry a so-called challenge trials with a corona the coronavirus vaccine that would involve deliberately exposing volunteers to the live virus the financial times newspaper cites insiders working on the project saying the trials could start in january at a quarantine facility in london volunteers will reportedly receive a vaccine and then a dose of the actual virus a month later but there's been an online backlash over the questionable morality of the move. volunteers or not how can this be ethical when corona virus infection can be fatal wonder what we would be saying about this if it was russia not u.k. project risky reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky a human challenge trials. thus far the academic lead on the trials did not confirm
6:05 am
the report the british government has also not confirmed the details of the scheme but has said it's open to conducting such studies we heard from microbiologist simon clark of britain's university of reading who says the move may not be ideal but these are desperate times. it's quite unusual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a back seat were probably wouldn't be so be so strong it's not optimal or an optimal way of doing it ideally you'd let it will get the. virus normally. needs muslimah devil droit with our backs are against the wall 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 it's a sub optimal way of doing trials no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country in spring would come by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill
6:06 am
many of whom were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant that that sort of hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem. and it's global with a growing number catching covert across russia 6 and a half 1000 in the last 24 hours alone moscow now today calling on people in high risk groups in particular to only go out if essential the details on that room costs are from the center of the capitol. hill indeed the number of cases has been the growing in russia recently over the last couple of weeks in fact now russian consumer watchdog or wall there is saying that it's not the 2nd wave of coal that they're actually calling it calling it the continuation of the 1st wave that meanwhile russian health ministry officials said that the number of. it's called the cases remained at the same level at this point now authorities claim that
6:07 am
everything is being done in order to avoid a massive shutdown so they have issued the following recommendations let's take a look so retired 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 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
6:08 am
a spike in the number of covert cases and this is showing this it's huge situation is becoming more difficult let's have a listen to sergei sabbaton 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 2 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 home despite these high numbers president putin said that russia is going through this pandemic period a little bit better than other countries but he also said that it's no time to relax or trade lightly let's have a listen. what you can prove. otherwise they will expand it's going to. very tough challenge for us citizens through
6:09 am
a country and through economy now some health officials are also saying that this new spike can 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 volunteers in this 3rd stage sort of they're getting tested and they want to be 1st to become inoculated now everyone also remembers that when almost and sire economies have been shut down due to restrictions however this time authorities in russia are hoping it's not going to go that far and they say they have they have everything under control. meantime medics here in 11 moscow polyclinics on the front lines of the mt covert fight have started taking shots of the new russian vaccine against coronavirus we spoke to one very special medical worker who battled in a day the smallpox epidemic that was back in the 1960 s.
6:10 am
and who is now one of the 1st in line to get the new job. 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 daughter 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 of things.
6:11 am
i 1st and foremost have never been afraid of getting the vaccination i've gotten them since i was a child i was given a little bottle within the naacp you lieschen and then i was vaccinated without any fear or tears and due to my profession and down plenty of an occupation. to keep you posted on the russian efforts to sort this next mother news today major car companies including todd slip of lawsuits against the trump ministration for unlawful tire of some chinese made parts as the u.s. president's trade war in beijing leaves american firm struggling to find alternative money factor is now saskatoon has got the latest on it. 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 economic. through the increase of course and impact to profitability due to the complexity of the model 3 com computer and the demanding timelines necessary for testers 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 chips 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 ido 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 and we have to protect and with mosques a single says probably not what trump had in mind when he promised to make america
6:13 am
great again protecting our workers are protecting our companies to trade war hurts 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 misstating his fortune volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is all while these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing that they've been a road to give us a fixation i don't create profit you know the trade friction between china and us puts pressure on companies whose main market is the us well the value of exposed to the u.s. has decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and is enlarged known u.s. markets well the. the u.s. market for chinese products has shrunk so china's overall exports keep growing
6:14 am
better was no doubt for president trump who 4 years ago said the cards were in american hands but we have the karts don't forget we're like the piggy back this being wrapped we can't continue 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 4 years oughtn'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. around the world in 90 seconds more than 100 firefighters working through the night with chainsaws to try to get to burning parts of a church that was being built in berlin because of the fire still being investigated thankfully no casualties reported but talking of fires and horrendous place here this time we're heading to argentina it's torched thousands of hectares

6:16 am
thank and. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guest of
6:17 am
the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. again this is r t i'm kevin ollie and rights activists in britain are warning against new legislation to let the cover agents get away with serious crimes including murder. there is a grave danger that this bill could end up providing informers agents with a license to kill it is deeply alarming that the proposed law does not explicitly prohibit m i 5 an other agencies from also rising crimes like torture and killing it must be amended to do sell well the new legislation set to be introduced this
6:18 am
week and is set to allow agents to carry out necessary and proportionate offenses the full list of crimes that can be allowed is not disclosed bird allegedly the bill sets no limits the government insists the bills comply 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 a marshal on then. 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 lives 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 immunity that is wide open to abuse and this is one of the things that david
6:19 am
shayler reported way back in 1911 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 and so it's a sort of a state of notional democratic oversight and notional 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. . where there's an almost a massive commitment to so-called green hydrogen as part of a has to be carbon neutral by 2050 promos to boris johnson says he's a convert quite extraordinary protection we have 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 would be a big bit on hydrogen. thought
6:20 am
a lot of purposes and not least the ability to hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt. for trucks for trains for even perhaps planes to vehicles well paper green hydrogen seems to be an excellent alternative to fossil feels it's made using renewable energy and the only by products are oxygen and water but professor of mechanical engineering david said bob points out the technology is also incredibly inefficient. buzan economy 100 route through green green arjun you have to build a very large amount of renewable electricity just to give you an example if you pay our home heating directly through heat with which a city or you do the same thing through hydrogen you need 6 times more
6:21 am
electricity to do it through harder and we are at a time in human life when the amount of renewable electricity is limited scarce there is not freely available interest in trying to to. to her own eyes the entire global energy system and to require 6 times more power to one system than another it's completely obvious that you don't want to do that or none the less all that said the hydrogen task force a lobbying group founded by the likes of oil giants b.p. and shell has been pushing the government to commit to hydrogen for the long run one of the goals is 100 percent clean hydrogen hating in the country by 2025 they're also calling for financial support to build hydrogen fuel stations for road transport but critics of the dash to hydrogen warn that fossil fuel mages know won't solve the planet's climate goals. we know that global warming is dangerous
6:22 am
the additional danger here is that is that this just hydrogen is 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 too expensive for home heating 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 what 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
6:23 am
detrimental to energy usage there to mental to the current position rates and still a commendable to the energy security so it's got everything there with that and nothing good with it. as the battle for the u.s. presidency gains momentum donald trump now suggested he may not accept defeat and peaceful transfer of power if he loses the race which has shocked rival joe biden amongst others caleb maupin looks in this lunchtime at how history might repeat itself and again the supreme court again should the election and 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
6:24 am
see what happens you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballot surges esther and the riot committed to making 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 we. 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
6:25 am
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 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 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 do you remember how ugly things got with brett kavanaugh well this time the stakes are much higher caleb mop an artsy new york of course will continue to follow the twists and turns for you coming out throughout the day we've got on the farm and now it's called
6:26 am
a breath for the line of code to take you through the afternoon and evening here on out to international if you want any headlines as they happened why not all check it out see the ready of of social media for now though at exactly 26 minutes past one of the afternoon moscow time kevin o. inciting all have a great day. it's going to be hard to reclaim freedom and we're going to have to work at it but as people recognize from examples like. what repression and digital systems need to. i hope people will start fighting. saying we won't tolerate systems in our streets in our homes that can't
6:27 am
possibly track what we're doing. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability. it's accelerating the transition to sustainable transport sustainability. more equitable and sustainable. they claim their production is completely harmless. because. it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their product . while the damage is being done far away this is something else this must be going to any minute i mean look. this is the move and news no we didn't do nieminen einstein seemed to be understood so when the. wall street financial engineers make love to crowds divert to money printing into
6:28 am
very pockets at a rate that according to the rand corporation equals more than $50.00 trillion dollars so that is your smoking gun that's why we have social unrest that's why we have incredible all wealth and income gap that's why we have such a distorted economy that's why wages are not keeping up does why we've got inflation raging that's a smoking gun and the story. as a culture war consumes american politics during this election cycle the economy remains in a big serious state millions of people live at the margins the only constant for them is insecurity economists debate individual recovery they speak of the you and to know what is the reality achieving. some of it but.
6:29 am
i think one of the worst things as a kid is what do you want to do it's not what you want to do it's why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your y. being aware of work as a way of expression people ask me what motivates me every day and i look i'm just being me i started my company because it was an expression of myself i am just painting on a canvas but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream of what they see themselves become. i mean. that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the shot and i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us we have to picture what our goal is is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal but what do we
6:30 am
want our life to look like and then create a plan to get there and we can help kids do better but it's a learning and it's in their early on so that's a lesson every kid should learn and those sort of step the responsibility i can make sure that i never will bobbie and my kids in the role of the bar weak if i do the right thing. hello my name's wendy 18 years old i go to caprica high school and i am a senior this year during up there was 8 of us don't live together there is a 3 bedroom house there was a lot of trouble when the economy had and everything my parents both they both.
