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 and 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 that with winter on the way things may be about to get tough you know if you land. him some other cotton we learned a lot and did well throughout the summer but we know that more difficult 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. 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 to those terrified that the measures to stay. that spirit will cost them their jobs and. with. our i was. wild in braces for what may well be a wind wave of covert germany as a whole remains one of only 4 european nations not 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 party girl it. was coded flares up so you do tempers in fact fists were seen flying on a commercial flight in the united states after a passenger refused to wear a mask. the fight started between a flight attendant and a passenger who was wearing only a face shield they've been increasingly welcomed on board in addition to mass but not in place of them then another passenger became involved in the dispute too loudly criticizing the mosque this man and the scuffle broke out she fears he got involved and had to remove the uncooperative passenger from the plane ok partridge looks now at how measures that were once welcomed to now causing anger is countries continue to fight the pandemic. in march there were positive reports of how people

around the world were dealing with the coronavirus slowdown the italians were singing. the spanish were dancing. 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 under 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 fall season which i don't think is going. to turn up. not.

that i think. you got me while government struggled to contain the virus new hardships have inflamed old tensions in this instance 2 passengers on the u.k. bus on physically abuse and apparently asian teenage girl for not covering her face . on. the mosque has become a synonymous with the pandemic both as a symbol of protection and also a restriction science supports using them research shows they 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 covert 19. in such circumstances it's easy and natural to feel apathetic indeed 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 she is festive season could yet prove to be a con to the government's failed to effectively lead societies against an invisible enemy which threatens to divide as well as. cape outreach alte london.

so comfy we look back at last night she west vice presidential debate between camilla harris and mike pence and also some unexpected guests who stole the show to have a look at that just stuff. when i was sure seemed wrong but i. just don't call. it that yet to shape out does the etiquette and in gay treatment equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. there's a threshold at which. big tobacco realized what they were doing in there they

continued to do it big continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them in the point i'm trying to make is that social media in particular the artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing. right. welcome back now the 1st and only vice presidential debate between camilla harris and mike pence is over and came on the heels of that chaotic clash between joe biden and donald trump last month so how did last night go well my colleague kevin

own got the highlights for marty's one quarter. 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 i said to him that we should take it i'm not taking the fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine if a vaccine emerges during the trump administration i think is is unconscionable both presidential contenders pretty getting only need is the worry is what if something

happens to them has to be some continuity in that one of the top jobs in the world the top job in the world isn't it 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 was this 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 as in the presidential

debate as we saw also. unsocial a lot of people on social media are saying that a 3rd party won the fly on my pencil. so i mixed reviews in a surprise guest posing in their stride after we did have special coverage an r.t. america and how spends one 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

a political issue that was the centerpiece of the debate 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 1st pro-life views on gun control their views on 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 wrong 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 is part of the problem of the format of the debate or they try to cover too many issues would it be but it would be a bit 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 or have these debates 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 that all these different vast policy areas even the politicians themselves don't really know all 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 a different format where you have maybe 3 or 4 broad categories that allow for the debaters to get into into the into those those categories by be important was there a winner who won this debate in pinning one. well i don't know if there was 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 the parents blew his way to the debate point. was her talking point our own issues 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 would not 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 trump's expensive and wasteful foreign

policy that simply wasn't there. well for more on the american reality in the run up to the 2020 election how do you watch the documentary divided america the people's vote these being ed at various times today here on r.t. . what is wrong with us as american citizens and i hate to be brought to the spot. we have a bombastic wind and a. yeah. yeah i guess it's like the way you write the worst because. dollar croaks little. word for. it is your current system is incredibly detrimental to the health of our democracy . freedom of all american summer regardless of race religion or creed illegal we're we're at an impossible point people are so divided in their camps that they're more

willing to believe in something that about panic reptilian pedophiles with a moon base. and then they are truly try to compromise when they try to listen to their opponents and why understand where other people are coming from. you can watch that a bit later today here in our new scene brief and in western russia a huge explosion has rocked a military storage facility firefighters and special equipment is still on the scene trying to get things under control after the blast flying spread to military warehouses and caused ammunition to blow up some shells in fact is still going off but less often and when the fire broke out yesterday at least 10 people are reported to be injured more than 2000 people have been evacuated from villages within 5 kilometers of that. matter some of the some live pictures cries rice in

force and in. uneasy as capital venting their anger at a new law they say will labor rights the government says it will actually increase investment in 3 police reportedly fired tear gas with the protesters hurling objects in return similar demonstrations have taken place in many cities over the last 3 days. toppled trees and flooding in the popular mexican tourist destination of can coon after hurricane delta made landfall in southeastern mexico the maximum winds are reported to fit nearly 180 kilometers per hour that have been no reports of deaths or injuries so far the storm is expected to regain strength and has made a turn towards the u.s. coast. finally some dramatic pictures a close call for a surfer in australia a shark was caught on camera circling a man paddling his board near the coast a deadly encounter seems to be unavoidable there but at the very last moment the

predator abruptly turns away witnesses did say later that the animal could have been scared off by the overhead drone that was patrolling the waters for sharks. lucky escape indeed just coming up to half past here in moscow we're back again at the top of. the water we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really

going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be. very critical time time to sit down and talk. let's just say i just know that the feeling is double the. amount i want to make out what why it's why the fuck. out of the. clear we hope to be but this year our awesome friend so that the us are still so that the so you're hoping to do something this year. which i for sure. they

value was the lack of physical allen lack of alcohol and i was overwhelmed with them on the back of a book that. i . was the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of it we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people new choice. that's been a problem with the city knows turn to make sure and told me stay away oh miss our 2 selves of concerted effort is no answer because yes that requires resources most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible comes.

it's an amazing country with so many friends in russia and i'm very excited to be here. i love that idea i think i can do that. different nice to make a lot of money with them but they make millions and hundreds of me. here is the nice what. a great wall that nobody builds last better than me believe and i'll build a very inexpensive like a great great wall. 'd just in case you're worried about who's going to pay for it mexico will pay for. it

we'll see what happens who knows those who know so we'll see how this bill will be success. greetings and sal you tahsin yes any addict will tell you at a certain point the excuses you shroud yourself in to justify your bad behavior and not having to face the truth your nature of benchley those excuses dry up they are called out brought into the light and you can no longer hide from the truth of iraq shuttles and that my friends is most certainly the case this week as 2 examples of the united states government's addiction to institutional cruelty and torture are making headlines the 1st comes in a new draft report on the office of inspector general for.
