coronavirus measures are coming back to berlin from the south today until at least the end of the month old restaurants local shops or any other business that would be open late at night will have to shut their doors at 11 pm until 6 in the morning coated cases are rising in germany at the fastest pace since made april as europe struggles with a new wave of infection the health minister says the new rules a needed because people and not taking the virus seriously. it isn't surprising with a lack of rules it's more a question of where certain rules are enforced and i think there is room for improvement in our beautiful capital city the chancellor has warned 'd that with winter on the way things may be about to get tough young figured out is that often we do things among we learned a lot and did well throughout the summer but we know that more difficult 'd times

are ahead of us namely in the autumn and winter months and we see a gradual increase especially in densely populated areas we have a number this rise in the numbers of infections this is of course a reason to be concerned but we also know how to position ourselves towards it with certain measures but there is a small but dedicated group of germans that don't agree with the chancellor and have been out on the streets to vent their upset that corona restrictions. was. i was of a parts of germany a keeping a close eye on the infection rate in berlin and on keen on visitors from the capital spreading the virus to them i fear that berlin is on the edge of losing control we definitely don't want to have a situation like in madrid we don't want

a situation like in paris where there has to be a complete lockdown where public life has to be reset to 0 elsewhere in europe brussels has announced bars and restaurants will close as the belgian capital is riddled with corona $27.00 people tested in brussels returns a positive result the virus is everywhere in the region there is not a single municipality in brussels which is below the national average but where restrictions put in place there's also pushback from some sections of society from conspiracy theorists who think the virus is a hoax for those terrified that the measures to stay. that spirit will cost them their jobs. with no move. 7 while braces for what may well be a wind wave of cove it germany as

a whole remains one of only 4 european nations knocked described by the european center for disease prevention and control as being at a crucial rate of infection for now at least peter all of a r.t. early. in all of this for all of us around the world is stressful in this code flares up so too did tempers at times fists flying then this is our next story this time of rapacity who refused to wear a mask on a commercial flight it all kicked off on a plane to the united states. or the fight started between a flight attendant and a passenger who was only wearing a face shield crucially now they've been increasingly welcoming in addition to masks but not in place of them and then another as you can see passenger became involved in the dispute loudly chastising the masculists man then

a scuffle broke out then security going to evolve the whole thing kicked off in the past you had to be taken off the plane and we see more and more of it don't we kate poetry's looks at the problems that can be caused by a simple protective cover or not as the case may be. they launched there were positive reports of how people around the world were dealing with the coronavirus slowdown the italians were singing. the spanish were john saying. he. and the british were giving weekly rounds of applause to the national health service. fost forward 7 months and the world seems to be going stir crazy frustrations at the ongoing restrictions economic uncertainty congress surging infection rates have

driven some tempers to boiling point and the focus for this is off to those who don't wear mosques. the ball field which i don't think is ok. with her about. her. but. i think. you got while government struggled to contain the virus new hardships have inflamed old tensions in this instance 2 passengers on the u.k. bus bubbly and physically abuse and apparently asian teenage girl for not covering her face. over her ears. the mosque has become a synonymous with the pandemic both as a symbol of protection and also restriction science supports using the research

shows that cut down the chances of transmitting and catching coronavirus and could reduce the severity of any infections but for some not wearing mosque means freedom from state intervention that seen few countries. get the virus under control with more than a 1000000 dead worldwide protesters across the globe a saying what's the point and with almost a year gone since the virus 1st hit the headlines and no end to the crisis in sight it's this symptom of pandemic fatigue which has led the world health organization to warn it's threatening the country's ability to defeat cope with 19. in such circumstances it's easy and natural to feel apathetic and be motivated to experience fatigue we can see not surprisingly that fatigue among those surveyed is increasing it is now estimated to have reached over 60 percent in some cases winter is approaching with its associated colds and flu and the expense of christmas and

other religious celebrations a time of joy but also stress this year's festive season could yet prove to be a powder keg if governments fail to effectively lead societies against an invisible enemy which threatens to divide as well as conquer a partridge r.t. london. which may day 15 moscow time for the americans who watch this last night were you around the world last night's big t.v. the u.s. vice presidential debate between my parents and the expected guests well the show they don't merit it but unfortunately lasted for 2 minutes too they didn't notice back after the break. during called did we hear about the u.s. we hear about china we hear about brazil you know what we don't really care much

about japan and yet japan i think in the grand scheme of things is in a data point in the intersection between. the end of the u.s. dollar as the world reserve currency and us higher because japan is. in shall remain the cheapest source of funds in the world. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic follow the only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be very critical time to sit down and talk.

again the 1st and only vice presidential debate between come to my pens is over then on the heels of the chaotic 1st clash between joe biden and donald trump last month so. how did it go the highlights montes caught. it was a big change of pace from the presidential debates from last week which looked more like a political circus than anything but this time around there were less aggressive interruptions no doubt both candidates even seemed like they were showing each other a little respect at times but when it came to what what exactly they were debating a lot of it amounted to just attacking or defending the actions of the current administration from the very 1st day president donald trump has put the health of america 1st whatever the vice president is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasn't worked if the trump administration approves a vaccine before or after the election should americans take it and would you take

it if donald trump tells us that we should take it on not taking the fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in the vaccine if the vaccine emerges during the trump administration i think is is unconscionable both presidential contenders for the getting on and the is the worry is what if something happens to them has to be continuity in that one of the top jobs in the world the top job in the world business and so a lot of focus on the vice presidents and how they might cope if they had to step into the big oops yeah absolutely kevin in fact no matter who wins this election biden or trump they will become the oldest person to be elected u.s. president in american history and so this debate that we saw was in a way between 2 potential future heads of state in the u.s. but when the moderator posed this question the possibility of a presidential disability depends he just moved in the direction to talk about the corona virus vaccine and then the question was posed to kemal heiress and she started talking about how proud her mom was of her so we didn't really get

a clear answer on that sort of policy that wasn't made clear you know the rhetoric wasn't as heated as it was before but still not totally clear with these who were both but there was a gay crush to believe yeah absolutely a lot of people were talking about who won this debate and neither candidate really gave us much to work with there weren't even as many insults in the presidential debate as we saw so. a lot of people on social media are saying that a 3rd party won a fly on my pants. well

then right after that last night special coverage of the debate we put on ourselves are to america has been sworn discuss the outcome with our own all star political panel. there's a lot missing here in terms of substance i think there was a lot that was was lacking in this debate look at the political issue that was the centerpiece of the debates coronavirus the coronavirus is an important issue but it's not a legitimate political issue because not 2 sides to it there's not a pro coronavirus side in an anti krone virus side but there are legitimate political issues pro-choice pro-life views on gun control drug legalization should america be the world's police anymore these are legitimate political issues that are not being discussed because again we're letting the media is run the debates in a way that's just designed to be the most sensational and the most you know quote topical rather than the most politically relevant is a part of the problem of the format of the debate or they try to cover too many

issues would it be but we'd be better served to have one or 2 things that they talk about the whole night and really go at those issues and quite candidly why do we even have vice president to have this debate in the 1st place they don't create policy we're all very interested in policy and the technical details you know but a lot of people that's not the way that they make their decisions about voting and most people are trying to vote on. what they you know with their friends and family like they're making decisions about ideas that they've heard about but they don't really know the details i mean we can't expect regular americans to be knowledgeable about all these different vast policy areas even the politicians themselves don't really know all of the details of these different policy areas i don't think it's true that the american people are unable to understand the issues i think that the issues are intentionally obfuscated in a way to make sure that the average american cannot weigh in on them perhaps 3 different formats when you have maybe 3 or 4 broad categories that allow for the debaters to get into into the those categories by be important was there

a winner who won this debate. well i don't know if there is a winner or not i tend to agree that you know a lot of these questions are really not areas of substantive discussion i think we really can't expect them to get into the details of any kind of particular policies and that they're really not trying to do that they're trying to have some talking points and so you know kind of depends on what you're looking for neither one of the candidates really inspired a lot of confidence. if we had to choose a winner i would have to say that have to be may be apparent only because. his way to the point. was her talking point. was to make out who in trying to acquire those points i don't think that either debate changed any single voters' opinion whatsoever i think that the voters had

already made up their mind before the debate i think tonight's debate did absolutely nothing and the reason for that again is that the poll opinions were kept out this was a rigged debate we didn't have a libertarian view wouldn't the green party view nobody was there challenge challenging kemal harris on her terrible record of locking up nonviolent drug users we didn't have anybody challenging pants on expensive and wasteful foreign policy that simply wasn't there. so you know could have been bad that's the view from america we're going to leave you for this with a preview of crimea coming up on this channel for more on american reality in the run up to the 2020 u.s. presidential election we've all you know watched divided america the people's kids today various times here on this channel kevin 0 in for me in the team have a great day. what is wrong with us as american citizens and i hate to be blunt about this fight over and we have a bombastic win by and

a bumbling fool to get. get their way so i can wife and i divorced because. there's a lot of the president and i voted for and. i feel like that's you part of the stuff is incredibly detrimental to the health of our democracy. freedom of all american summer attack regardless of race religion or creed if we can we're we're at an impossible point people are so divided in their camps that they're more willing to believe insanity about say tannic neptunian pedophiles with a move. and then they are trying to compromise when they try to listen to their opponents and like understand where other people are coming from. both sides.

seem wrong but all. just don't hold. any world yet to see how it does the attic. and in detroit. the trail. when find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

fire max kaiser this is the kaiser report toby cove it so much to talk about let's check in with stacey well you know it's hard to outdo donald trump and his shenanigans in antics and all that sort of stuff but we're going to try a so you know one thing we always say is where we're at the end of a dark ages and of an ipad whether it's the fiasco in c regime that has ruled the world since 1971 or the us empire since 1905 but of course that whole before when british empire disintegrated was also quite chaotic and interesting ted a pandemic we had

a pandemic in 1008 team that was right and that was equally crazy as now perhaps we didn't have a president sitting in the hospital but i want to look at some of the astounding information that is actually unfolding and going on wall. everybody's locked down at home no apparently adult conversations are happening so none of this is being discussed but it does seem like they all know everybody knows it's over the whole fiat's system value of covert $1000.00 stimulus packages in g 20 countries as a share of g.d.p. and you know it shows a whole list of them but i'll just go over a few japan 21 point one percent canada 15 percent usa 13.2 percent brazil 11.8 percent turkey 10.8 percent a strongly attempt 6 percent and at the bottom is mexico is 0.7 percent so other than for the us all those debts will have to be repaid and there is

a limited ability for a lot of these other nations to print like america can play now this is a fascinating data set actually because during call of it we hear about the u.s. we hear about china we hear about brazil you know but we don't really hear much about japan and yet japan i think in the grand scheme of things is an important data point in the intersection between the and the fee at the end of the u.s. dollar is rolled reserve currency the end of u.s. umpire because japan is has been in shall remain the cheapest source of funds in the world because interest rates in japan have been the lowest for many many years down just hovering just above 0 is spend the go to place for all leveraged speculators to borrow engaging in what is called the carry trade you borrow money in japan and you invested in other. currencies that might yield a higher rate and you're capturing that spread as you carry that cast over to

another currency but also funds much of the leveraged buyouts in america the private equity speculation the deals of mergers and acquisitions they all are from the fed but on the wholesale market globally speaking the fed boss in japan japan is that the global piggy bank so it's interesting because they have no monetary discipline there in japan so it makes sense that they would be the number one on that chart in terms of 21 percent of g.d.p. now in fiscal stimulus for kovac are monetary stimulus for cove it because that's where the world goes for cheap money and so that's a country that is very used to they invented quantitative easing that's their term so that's the intersection the point is as well is that. one era is dying literally and in the situation of a pandemic but part of the reason why is dying is because as plundered so much from

the future so the fact that we don't have any savings or you know we're all having to issue so much debt is because we don't have the we have a just in time economy we have a. piles and piles of debt that has that rolled over and over and over the the extend and pretend thing and what it what we were pretending is that generation z. and millennial would not have to pay for this but they obviously are having to pay for this so i want to continue you know we talk all the time about pos yes quo and i'll read it again when plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men and a society over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes that and a moral code that glorifies it so over time they create this and over time this started in 1970 wants of 49 years later next year will be one it will be 50 years since we started on an off the global standard kick the can down the road and hope it.
