i'm not going to your list to. shoulder the. headlines in r.t. with infection rates now bracing above those sets during the spring paychecks curfews and restrictions are imposed across europe. as the race for the white house edges towards the finish line republicans are crying foul the twitter and facebook ban an explosive article on democratic hopeful joe biden and his son. by did they take the negative posts down all those before they even go up there trying to protect them to try to protect by this is election interference or the attempt to rig an election which is what we're seeing here but monopolies unprecedented in american history and euthanizing terminally ill children is set to

become legal in the netherlands the government there is backing new rules to end unbearable suffering the. children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is but we are talking in these kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering. to. get even just gone 6 o'clock here in moscow you with r.t. international now the coronavirus is once again tightening its grip on europe france spain and the u.k. assessing new infection records on a daily basis far exceeding those seen during the 1st wave however when it comes to tackling the health crisis it seems political unity is in short supply as peter all of now expects. cases of coronavirus skyrocket across europe

e.u. leaders are bringing back hard core restrictions and we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be enforced in the paris region and 8 other french officers dodged in this situation over the bend them it is serious because we record rising infection numbers almost everywhere the reason is that fear is a 2nd autumn winter wave of the virus would be worse than the 1st appear to be coming true back in march france was in lockdown with around 7 and a half 1000 daily cases the latest figures show that is on high and now the same picture is repeated in spain and in the u.k. while all those countries were in lockdown in the spring now politicians are trying to strike a balance between safety and personal freedom for many the potential economic damage of another lockdown outweighs concerns of

a public health. since the virus was 1st detected in europe different countries of opted for different tactics the swedish government went for a hands off approach relying on people following precautions without them having to be made rules that worked at least for a while but now restrictions are in place in sweden as well the disjointed approach among member states has caused public frustration a poll of e.u. citizens found that just over half of french people consulted thought there was unity in the block when it came to tackling coronavirus however 60 percent of italians and almost 3 quarters of those here in june. me for the approach lacked

solidarity as our anchor larry in securing the measures that confusing that i have no idea where i can and can't go there to simplify the rules i'm worried about a 2nd law down especially the impact it will have on restaurant owners and the self-employed it's not clear if there is a right strategy but there must be a better way to explain the strategy where supposed to be when can we know the hot spots is knowledge family gatherings party maybe care homes and retirement homes that's where they should focus this is just chaos those were the one thing that was agreed upon this week was a unified set of travel rules for the european union we welcome the agreement reached today by the member states on uy coordination of measures restricting free movement related to the coronavirus pandemic it will have a single set of colors to categorize the different regions based on the risk with a single set of rules to follow so citizens can see more clearly what the situation

is the german chancellor says that means to be more cooperation across europe to help calm attain a virus that doesn't care whether it's in brussels bruges or bremen things we have also experienced that european corporation is not limitlessly resilient i tell you the south critically especially in the beginning of the pandemic inveterate specht we focus too much on the problems of our own country but this experience once again makes it clear that we need each other we need close european cooperation in order to must agree challenges which can only be achieved together with the citizens and not working above their heads so far that unified new approach to tackling covert has been lacking from european leaders these are all of our r.t. . swedish epidemiologist machado farrar the noli believes it's almost impossible to balance saving lives with saving economies if your inability to you are facing.

the 1st thing you have to see is whether there are groups or where it goes with interest so it does not help that they say well that was at rawdon from long before it should have been taken into account in deployment of this strategy to face the pandemic and that it was not the done so this is this year or i do know. over incapacity you unless you do. we. don't see a blog post but. these are others you know where your protests are not to suit their lives. well you're probably start to see that globally all even think. we have the most economy do at this point any other country would look down that we have there we suffered much more so we're going to have a better position than they have been if you have their say b.s. you have this consideration of course you're going to sacrifice. but that is goes

against the human rights. or russia is not immune to the rapidly rising infections either on friday the number of daily cases top more than 15000 while thursday saw a record number of daily deaths 286 and i've been rolled out in the capital and other cities. now with us election fever nearing its peak there's plenty of mudslinging from both sides but from publicans are up in arms at the moment after social media giant censored and explosive article on the reportedly shady business dealings of joe biden and his son twitter and facebook to claim though that they were merely trying to prevent misinformation . as more. the election is just 3 weeks out and the new york post the daily conservative tabloid of new york city says it has a bombshell they've allegedly got e-mails from joe biden and his family now the e-mails are said to have come from a laptop that was left behind at

a computer repair shop in delaware there are some images of joe biden's son hunter smoking crack and an alleged sex tape the e-mails show hunter biden introducing his father joe biden and the vice president to the board of barista a natural gas giant from ukraine that actually paid hunter biden $50000.00 a month to sit on its board. i did home to thank you for inviting me to d.c. and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together it's really an honor and pleasure critics say this proves that joe biden when he was vice president knew about his son's business deals in ukraine and helped to the republicans see this is damaging the biden campaign team of course they didn't i everything so why has this story gotten so big well social media got involved while they will intentionally not link to the new york post i want to be clear that this

story is eligible to be fact checked by facebook's 3rd party fact checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform on facebook you couldn't even share this story in a direct private message it was blacked out gone twitter even shut down the new york post account and the account of the white house press secretary when she tried to share a screen shot of many this looks a lot like tech giants meddling in american politics so how did twitter explain it . the policy established in 2018 perhaps to use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization well that's interesting because the recent story from the new york times similarly unconfirmed about donald trump's tax returns which was based on personal data that was somehow collected which the new york times never bothered to explain where they got it from that story it's still up on both platforms so cue the republicans with biden today they take

a negative post down omo just before they even go up there trying to protect him they tried to project by the tech monopolies that control american media feared this story might hurt that candidate whom they favor this is election interference in the attempt to rig an election which is what we're seeing here by monopolies is unprecedented in american history now twitter says this is all just it big. miscommunication well the damage has already been done the story of joe biden and his son and their business dealings is probably not going to have a big impact on the election results however the move by the tech giants to censure him after they've already had a long history of anti-conservative bias that very well could have. been r.t. new york. well twitter has since announced it will revise its hacks materials policy labeling tweets instead of blocking them however the new york post article

will remain blocked as it does display images containing private information public policy professor brown's believes tech giants have become full political activists both twitter and facebook are very clearly in the biden camp and so this bombshell story by the new york post is damaging to joe biden and so both twitter and facebook for political reasons are trying to restrict your viewership of this incriminating information of course the social media platforms can't come out and say that explicitly they can't say that we're in cahoots with you know the the biden team and we didn't like it for political reasons it reasons instead they need to make up other reasons for restricting viewership what is cleaner is that this was

a very pro biden move. and other news tonight the dutch government has approved plans to allow the euthanasia of terminally ill children aged between one and 12. the research shows there is a need for the possibility of active life terminations among doctors and parents of terminally ill children who are suffering hopelessly a number oblique and will die in the foreseeable future current law permits euthanasia for babies under one year and children older than 12 consent from parents is mandatory while children aged 16 or 17 need only to inform their parents of their decision the new rules will also require parent consent and the approval of 2 doctors euthanasia for adults meanwhile was legalized in the netherlands almost 2 decades ago when euthanasia does account for 4 percent of the total number of deaths in the netherlands of more than $6000.00 cases the majority involved

mental conditions we put the government's new plans for the backed. there's 2 things that have got to find one is how long someone's got to live and the other is how unbearable the suffering really is and both of those things get watered down over time or in oregon for example terminally ill has been watered down to you know you require some medical treatment to sustain your life which means even diabetes is classified as terminally ill people can live for decades with diabetes this is what essentially did it on the exact same salty announce the definitions of what causes what is terminally ill what is unbearable and this kind of thing and the fact they will think it down now to children as well so is exactly the slippery slope that happens when you legalize euthanasia in this kind of way it's absolutely nonsense what you say it out of them patient with having diabetes will not be helped in his suicide just because he has to die if there is a diabetes it by suffering but it's certainly not the reason and it's just it way

a post a preachin is talking about i think even the suggestion to young children maybe dying is the right option it's just going to very very very disturbing for their children and and just provoke anxiety i think children what you have what will happen here is children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is an imperative as well fitting pressure to kill their children or allow their children to be killed i think if you don't want to have euthanasia you're not going to ask for it you won't get it you will get absolutely perfect health care in the netherlands and in oregon it is nonsense to say that it is suggested to patients that they should make a choice for deaths it is not one of the nicest thing for a doctor to do to help his patients die but sometimes it's the only way out it's not nonsense at all or many reported cases where patients have felt pressured you know because doctors have said you know we can't maybe we can't treat you for this and so you should think about euthanasia have you thought about euthanasia and

don't suit repeatedly said that to patients and they felt the pressure of it i have never read what you said to distil something you. i think or you believe which is happening and maybe there have been cases where this has happened i am not saying that we are sacred but it is certainly not the general idea of our outlaws practice in the netherlands how it is practiced in oregon how does practice in belgium in luxembourg in canada and right now i mean what we've found consistently in surveys of doctors is that people who are actually policy of care doctors do not support euthanasia they're the ones who know that pain can be alleviated euthanasia is is not the right way around everyone agrees that this is a wrong thing to do to terminate life in this kind of way you are perseverant in saying something which is not right if there are situation to alleviate pain by periods of care how doctors do that but we are talking in this kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering can not be alleviated in

such cases it is much more humane to help somebody die peacefully by yes of course by the hands of a doctor by giving medication. now a rebellion is brewing in the north of england after the government brought in regionally targeted restrictions on just as man has accused downing street of using an author's canaries in the coal mine israeli reports. the mayor of manchester has been speaking today and he's been lashing out at the government's attempts to implement this so-called 3 year to system on certain parts of the u.k. or at least putting certain parts of the country into those higher brackets and mr burnham saying that those parts of the country suffered enough economically there are certain sectors of the economy that have suffered enough economically throughout this crisis and if the government is going to pull these measures out then they have to extend some type of financial support to those regions last night

the deputy chief medical officer told great amongst the leaders to bring the infection rates down any regional lock down would require widespread closures way beyond pulps to stand any real chance of working and that would have to be done in tandem with all the neighboring regions and even then it would not be certain to work but here's the point the government is not giving city regional city regions like ours and the liverpool city region the necessary financial backing for full lock downs of that kind that is why we have unanimously opposed the government's plans for tier 3 they off lord and. now there are other leaders in the northeast of the country council leaders who have also lashed out in places like sunderland the new cost of against these government measures here in the capital london we are expecting to go into the

height from saturday all the words on the streets of the city there are mixed feelings as to whether that is the right way forward i think it's kind of been thrown a lot of people people weren't expecting it necessarily but it seems like it's the logical next step i would prefer a sure shot down rather than something that we just don't know when it might. just keep rolling rather than look at the damage that it's been doing to the economy to a 2 tier 3 everyone suffering now we've reached a point where this there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel i take the view that the this is the reaction to this disease as. more unfortunate and terrible it is being grossly exaggerated and we need to. try and regain normal as soon as possible again i feel whatever is going to. spread is

a good thing i think it probably needed to happen a while ago and maybe we would have had to do it a bit less dissin know it was fairly it's gone forever and i know it's in the public interest and we should be safe but. i don't know i'm really tired of my work and everything just being disrupted all the time you do what you have to do it. we're in this for the long term. or political commentator on fridays believe the new measures will actually do little to stop the spread of infection. the 3 tier system which the government has brought in 20 is rather complex and it divides parts of the country up sense going to be quite difficult i think to make people pay the rules to decree in those in the top tier and there's no doubt until success unfortunately the been a number of meetings with the local authority leaders in which the government has they doubt more details of what's available but it's not going to be as generous as

the support that was available during the 3 months not the time that we had starting in march this year there's going to be a recession in this country but the economy wouldn't collapse we have to remember still the country is the 6th richest country in the world and unemployment rates are relatively low compared to even other countries in europe sal it would be a hard thing to bear but it wouldn't destroy us. yesterday of portland by another night of vandalism last weekend after black life massive protests to send it into rioting when business targeted the restaurant owned by military veteran john jackson we experienced some bandoliers i'm and bandoliers i'm in for about what i would call domestic terrorism on sunday evening by

a faction group that hasn't yet identified themselves during that even in they had a march here in portland which turned into a riot and that's they mean any they targeted heroes american they and proceeded to shoot through the windows with what we believe was a 9 millimeter pistol. well the heroes american cafe is known for supporting veterans police firefighters and other public servants according to its website some profits are donated to support local heroes the restaurant was attacked during the so-called day of riots in poland in portland protesters toppled statues of former presidents and also raided the oregon historical society building portland's mayor describe the actions is obscene when jackson again believes some groups intentionally escalated the situation it was a planned attack not just random because there's other buildings all around me that

weren't touched. multiple statues a statue of teddy roosevelt abraham lincoln and they destroyed a museum a historic museum at the same time the chatter on the internet indicates that they believe that we were pro police in they believe that we were. black lives matter which. is makes no sense because you can see that to be an african american business older portman is a community of relatively peaceful people and i think that the people from portland that are protesting are protesting peacefully what's happening is there's faction that are being paid to come the cortlandt and to antagonize and to escalate trouble. now ever since germany said it was a refutable the top kremlin critic collection of ali had been poisoned with an overture nerve agent berlijn has been demanding answers from moscow but news that

russian lawmakers actually wrote to the german parliament's president offering cooperation has incensed some german m. pace's they were never told about the offer. the members of the bundestag do crucial and miller and hurt are stand how in the highly tense situation of german russian relations which urgently needs dialogue russian offers for talks and requests for help are so brusquely rejected by the german side some politicians in berlin have since dismissed the proposed as a cheap trick to win influence moscow has been repeatedly abused by the for failing to provide a credible explanation over the incident but the signatories of the letter say that their offer of cooperation was deliberately ignored. and why the buddhist president has decided to ignore a letter in my opinion he had received a command to do so otherwise i can't explain it this all undermines the deputy's independence which is sad. meanwhile that

a party from the right wing alternative for germany party has the head of the bundestag not to leave the russian letter unanswered we talked to one of his colleagues. bust monday the 12th of october the personal secretary of mr scheuer wrote to a friend of mine that allegedly he had forward it. both to tickle me chew on foreign affairs sort of blunder stark and the members of the truman russian parliament regrouped by being a member of the german russian parliamentary group i have never oafish only received this letter by mr short so be disproved in writing that mr scheuer blip or right on this topic it letter deliberately and then i got a letter that mr scheuer really forbit the letter only true they had hoped to call me to on foreign affairs but this only happened after we had already

a lift to the topic in this moment your conference with a russian colleague so also a piece he had done only under pressure and what she added personally is that presidential a little bit under stark decided to roof frame to give an answer to russia this i have also in writing and i think this is a very it is a tremendous political scandal that the president of the doj when the stark sided refrain and you are answers to moscow on this very important letter. from democracy protesters in the 10s of thousands of taking to the streets of the thai capital on thursday despite an emergency decree banning mascot the rings police clashed with protesters and used water cannon to break up the crowds. the i

demonstrators have been demanding the release of dozens of activists that were arrested earlier in the day and government protesters have spent time in since the beginning of the year with calls for political reform fresh elections and also a new constitution and a reform of the monarchy just gone up to half past 6 neve here in moscow thanks for your company tonight we're back again at the top of the.

still i just know that the feeling is i'll just. pick up one mic and one quiet. out of the. clearly hope will be but there are also friends that the us are still slow but the soul feel hoping to do something to see. which. they value about the house and the simple dollar bill and i was able to put them on the that you know but that happen. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true wants his fate. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallowness. americans love. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get

a hope and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and. the longer deeper history. in the united states not just. the american dream. the dream is. a confirmation process that will. come the next supreme. in their liberal media. over the proceedings legally don't have any merit whatsoever. to play simply says the supreme court has been maybe forever impacted the poor is a real. you

know nico one of my difficulties if you don't focus the muslim people it badly i doubt the media knows the laws of this bozo know. not just one of the whole time he might want. to. leave because it gives me my 1st big call couple to get push here but i'm we said it could. be. someplace he most people almost call me i most came in nobody goes from believing that it was when he was he took his photo you can only account.
