trade war with china. hello there she is gone 3 o'clock in the afternoon here in moscow you're watching r.t. international i will start with that developing story from paris because it least 2 people have been injured by a man armed with a machete the former headquarters of the satirical magazine charlie hebdo authorities are calling on people to stay away from the scene of the incident r.t. showed it to our reports from the french capital. this is an ongoing operation at the moment what we understand is that there was an attack that took place near the form offices of the satirical magazine shelley after shelley after of course after law into the spotlight back into that if even when there was that deadbeat terrorist attack that killed many people at the offices there and started. spate of

terrorist attacks here in france we understand that one person has been arrested at the police are currently still searching for 2 of the individuals who are said to be at large at the moment so they're all morons thanks operation is ongoing as you can see in full which is that there is a big police presence and the agents vehicles there as well as they trying to assess what's happening now are people who were told to leave the area if they're in the area this is around and that's our home discards of at harrison here and the best to larry when we see a lot of the protests taking place at schools are being shot in the area as have nurseries now it doesn't cause harm in the wake of fresh threats against you know what i'm seeing sharlee and attempts at that. they're not using working more outraged just a few weeks ago when published some rulers and worse will call syrians now this week in the wake of those new threats against the magazine french media are banded

together with a 100 different outlets nice ations all calling on people to support the magazine and to defend freedom of speech charlie hebdo is once again threatened by a terrorist organization threats that constitute a real product cation 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 let's be clear we don't know that these 2 incidents are connected right now so what we do know is that ongoing police operation has basically got the area near them or offices or magazine shortly after one person has been arrested or been sent to look at all of the suspects who were involved in this latest attack. and which side with france because it has certain 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 alerts reinforced alert and also maximum alert zone areas with more than $150.00 cases per 100000 people shown here in red while the worst credit and to face the most strict measures of businesses a few me. many have taken to the streets of paris warning that they simply won't survive the. hours and restaurants have really been ordered to shut down and say while in red zones like paris opening hours from the next from next week have been restricted to . discontent inspiring. the now this time that if we can travel

in 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 look down rules that the vast majority of us packed since he came out in 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 little 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 we spoke with the french talked to mark the latter case and he did tell us though that without such measures the situation could turn 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 need to ask people who have been in intensive care they were. really know what we are talking about. now britain could become the 1st country to carry out so-called challenge trials with a coronavirus vaccine it would involve deliberately exposing volunteers to the live virus the financial times newspaper site insiders working on the project saying that 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 it has been an online backlash over the questionable morality of the move. volunteers a lot how can this be ethical and corona virus infection going to be fatal wonder what we would be saying about this if it was russia not u.k. project risk reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky are the human challenge trials of the academic lead on the trials did not confirm the report and the british government has also not confirm the details of the scheme but has said it is open to conducting search studies we heard from microbiologist simon clarke of britain's university of reading he does say though that 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 would. wouldn't be so be so strong it's not

optimal an optimal way of doing it ideally you'd let people get the. virus normally but needs must when the devil drive with our backs are against the wall on they so 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 they need to it's a sub optimal way of doing the trials no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country in the spring were gummed up by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill many of them were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant that that so the hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem while with a growing number of people what i catching that across russia 6000 in the last 24 hours alone in moscow has now court on people in high risk groups in particular tony if essential don't cause the death ripples. 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 or wall there saying that it's not the 2nd wave of gold that they're actually calling it call it the continuation of the 1st wave i mean while russian health ministry officials said that the number of serious colvin cases remains at the same level at this point now 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

ones 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 as. can you just stay at home 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. you can make these problems. 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 this new spike in you call that cases is due to the fact that more people are being tested for coronavirus 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 zion 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. by major car companies including tesla have filed lawsuits against the trumpet ministration for what they call unlawful tariffs on chinese made parts of the u.s. presence trade war on beijing leaves american firms struggling to find alternative manufacturers and get taylor has more on 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 economic. through the increase of course and impact to profitability due to the complexity of the model 3 car computer and the demanding timelines necessary for teslas exponential growth to say he's unable to find another manufacturer to meet our requirements tesla has filed

a lawsuit against the trumpet ministration why welty 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 ido musk says it's a car crash and the tariffs are all poetry capricious and an abuse 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 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 other big hits is like miss

a days for volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is all 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 crease profit you know the trade friction between china and us puts pressure on companies whose main market is the u.s. well the value of exposed to the u.s. has decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and his enlarged known u.s. markets well the. the u.s. market for chinese products has shrunk so china's overall exports keep growing but so was no doubt for president trump who 4 years ago said the cards were in american hands 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 turfed in the history of the world while 4 years on the

u.s. trade deficit with china is almost 10 percent more than one trump side those wads and 4 years on it looks like it's now tester and crew who are the ones looking into that piggy banks and saying empty words not those gold coins they were promised. ok let's go back to our breaking news because at least 2 people it's been reported have been injured by a man with a machete in a former headquarters of satirical magazine charlie had no authority to calling on people there to stay away from the scene of the incident further up to now show the following story for us from paris good afternoon again just run through then the latest on what you know what. well updates are coming thick and fast that this only going operation we just heard that this has now been taken over by the national antiterrorism prosecution they've opened an

investigation for attempted assassination in connection with a terrorist enterprise criminal terrorist criminal association so this is dealing being dealt with as a terror operation here in france what unfolded here on friday morning just. in the 11th hour of paris is a scene that many people been fearing for a time we understand that between 2 and 4 people are injured there are some conflicting reports coming out about the number of people who were injured right back but we do understand that 2 people have been all so. all of the injured we understand one is a journalist and another one works for a production company on one of the streets just behind us you might be able to get a sense from the pictures here just how secure this area is at the moment there are operational military operational say the police so all of this area is completely cooled off we understand that the attack took place with

a book says no i am machete and we know that 2 suspects have already been detained by the police and we understand the person is still at large now this attack came close to the form offices of the satirical magazine. which of course. burst into the spotlight for the international world in 2015 when it was subject to her repeat terror a terror attack spoke to a wave of similar attacks here in front so that started back in 2015 that was only controversial cartoons that were published by the magazine over the muslim prophet mohammed now they're really published those cartoons in the last few weeks to mock the trial of those who are accused of aiding the terrorists who carry out deadly attack in 2015 did so because he said he wanted to defend freedom of speech but it provoked a huge amount of criticism and. death threats i think the story of the magazine

let's have a listen to what one of the editors of the had to say about. charlie hebdo is once again threatened by a terrorist organization threat that. in the midst of the trial of the january 25th. 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. so let's be clear we do not know that those 2 incidents is linked but we do know that this is being treated now as a terrorist organization yet is locked down schools and nursing homes in the area were all told to lock down and people were told to leave the area the latest is we understand that up to 4 people injured if you seriously suspect a power being arrested and a 3rd is

a lot while this investigation is all going here in paris. ok thanks charlotte. with the latest on that machete attack that happened early today in. or i would have had a look at some world news in brief now more than $100.00 firefighters worked through the night chainsaws to get to burning parts of a church being built in berlin are the cause of the fire still being investigated and no casualties have been the 48 another major blazes time in argentina has torched thousands of grassland and pine forests why even strong winds a number of provinces a few with the slowing activists are warning of an environmental disaster as the raging wildfires burn out of control and residents of a syrian village have burned the stars and stripes a protest against penned in turkish troops in their country demonstrators march with national flags to use is a man's crippling u.s.

sanctions washington's latest restrictions do hit the country's central bank as well as anybody working with its military or oil or gas sectors. watching r.t. still have you this how britain makes a big commitment to a new form of green energy backed by major oil companies however critics to say this is doing to fail but have a look at the details just after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

i. welcome back you with artane i rights activists in britain a warning against new legislation to let undercover 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 and other agencies from also rising crimes like torture and killing it must be amended to do so. new legislation to be introduced this week will allow wage insta carry out necessary and proportionate offenses the full list of crimes that can be allowed is not disclosed but allegedly the bill sets no limits the government insists that the bill is complied with the european convention on human rights and doesn't provide a license to kill we discuss the issue with the former british intelligence agent and the masher. our spy agencies in the u.k. are the most legally protected and least accountable of any spy agencies in any

notional 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 shape 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 an i phone would have to request a warrant from death and it could march to the home secretary. then they would have immunity that is wide open to abuse and this is one of the things that david 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 notionally notional 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. . now britain has announced

a massive commitment to so-called green hydrogen as part of their thoughts to you because been neutral by 2050 prime minister boris johnson gave it his full backing . quite extraordinary protection we have but for when we want to lead in carbon capture and storage technology i barely believe was possible but i'm not a complete evangelist for how we want to use those technologies jute i develop a lot of hydrogen with a pretty good bit on hydrogen. thought a lot of purposes and not least the ability to hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt for. the trucks the trains even caps the planes vehicles well on paper green hydrogen does seem to be an excellent alternative to fossil fuel that it's made using renewable energy and yet only byproduct are oxygen and water however a professor of mechanical engineering david saban does point out the technology is

incredibly inefficient. buzen economy. through green arjen you have to build a very large amount of renewable interesting just to give you an example if you our home heating directly through the current with air to city 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 where the amount of renewable electricity is limited scarce there is not freely available kristie we're trying to to. to decarbonize 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. task force a lobbying creek founded by the likes of oil giants such as 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 heating in the country by 2025 and they also called 40 financial support to build hydrogen fuel stations for road transport but critics of the dash to hydrogen to warm up fossil fuel mages do know that hydrogen won't solve the planet's climate gulps. we know the global warming is dangerous the additional danger here is that is that this hydrogen is caught is going to cause a lot more to learn what we'll see and there is no doubt that we'll see that hydrogen is far too expensive for vehicles and far 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 this curse the dash to hard which is being

promoted by a very powerful international lobby. 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 degrees of global warming it's detrimental to carbon emissions it's detrimental to energy usage there dramatically the current position rates and did a tremendous energy security so it's got everything with that and nothing good with it. now is the battle for the u.s. presidency gains momentum donald trump has suggested he may not accept defeat and a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the race which did shock rival joe biden a lot he looks at how history might repeat itself ending in the supreme court

should the election and in stay away. 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 the ride do you commit 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 part of trump as a would be dictator were pretty grueling. being facetious i said what country

or we. says the most rational thing i. don't know what to 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 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 that do you remember how ugly things got with brett kavanaugh well this time the stakes are much higher kaleb mup an artsy new york has gone 330 this friday often in her most they will she not say i will back with more news in just under 30.
