the latest anti pandemic measures in europe are aggravating divisions italians are among those flouting a new nighttime curfew and venting their fury on the streets. as you can see italy is rebelling this government has decided to suppress the italian people to starve the. new restrictions in the u.k. forced pubs and bars to serve substantial meals with any drinks they sell without specifying which dishes i'm bound to want to get reaction from the pub owner. we did everything we finally got to albany and by the time we. come into play driving everyone my. city becomes a battleground for trump fans and haters facebook is reportedly poised to beef up

its moderation tools to combat election related violence so the system was slammed as a failure when it was trialed in other countries. good morning you're watching r t international great time because. first this hour there is growing resentment in europe over the latest anti pandemic rules infection rates are soaring countries are reluctant to return to full lock downs but it hasn't stopped people flouting the new measures anyway. for example riots in the spanish city of barcelona hundreds of people gathered in one of the main squares of the cattle and capital to condemn the state of emergency imposed across the country violated a nighttime curfew that came into force on sunday and also overturned rubbish bins near the local parliament setting them alight. similar scenes were seen in italy where so ever. city saw protests getting out of hand when children smoke bombs were

let off bottles were hold of the police or the milan riot officers resorted to tear gas the speech of all the reports on europe's latest response to kobe and how it's being mysie. italy and spain are the latest nations to put in place new restrictions on their populations in an attempt to try and get the number of covert 19 infections down in italy they've seen the number of cases double each week over the last 3 weeks in spain they vented what's being called a state of alarm that's putting in place a curfew for the next 15 days people not allowed out on the streets from 11 at night until 6 in the morning now politicians there also wanting to extend a state of emergency in the country for a further 6 months now in italy what we've seen is new rules come in place regarding restaurants and dining out all restaurants are going to have to shut

their doors to customers from 6 pm at night only for people allowed at a table while they're allowed to be open they are allowed to continue serving takeout after that vote there is a strict rule against any food consumption or drinking on the streets or in public areas after 6 pm these new rules well there's been pushback against them in both naples and in rome. but not everybody has gone to those extreme levels that we just saw in naples and rome but italians in general and people in spain as well and happy about them.

measures that have been put in place on them with some saying simply won't work. did it as you can see italy is rebelling this government has decided to suppress the italian people to starve them to death we hope that this government will force in their hearts that it was a it's a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in the nightlife industry going to be uncertain you know. this makes me suspect that in the end the problem will transform from a cemetery issue into an economic one and that is where the real problem lies. yakety bay and i am ashamed to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders will be forced to shut down one of. these a quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle it's not a real up down it's a look down by harvest here in germany we recently passed 10000 deaths while each one of them is a tragedy in its own right germany has fared considerably better than many of its

neighbors in fact almost all of its neighbors despite that performance though there are those that are extremely unhappy with the way the german government has handled the pandemic in fact on sunday we saw protests on the streets here in berlin there were some clashes with police and arrests were made cases of covert 19 of also being rising in russia as well over 17000 new infections in the last 24 hours no less help in sight it seems as the world continues to try and fight against covert 19 but it's keeping that balance between trying to keep populations healthy and trying to keep economies of float that seeing tensions rise in areas. meanwhile russia is also toughening up its covert response without going into full long down as of wednesday masks will be compulsory in all public places and mass entertainment activities are banned cafes and restaurants will close at night.

meanwhile in new k. for more than a week have been daily new coronavirus infections exceeding 20000 there are new restrictions among them being rolled out in high risk areas pubs and bars have to serve meals with drinks if they want to stay open and the owners know criticize the rules saying it doesn't make sense and are looking for ways to get around the restrictions we spoke to one owner who told us that things are hard enough because the pandemic has driven away customers we spent so much trial human effort not just learning the rules and not just biding by them but what we did to a pirate in the actual effort into screens and you know like this awful distance in the everything we've done and that we prepared to open we did everything we finally got to all in and by the time we opened to recoup the losses little rules keep coming in the plate and it's driving everyone mired in all of sudden we had to close it and we lost 60 percent turnover when we had to close at 10 and then we

could see that part now and then which will cause because. we don't serve food doesn't make any sense this is a this was we had nothing to lose no it wasn't for having nothing to lose this when it happened no this happened we felt overwhelmed or and everyone's backing us it's been ridiculous and it's more than just the wins because he's huge. gatherings of more than 6 both indoors and out are banned in high risk areas residents are also asked to avoid any travel that's not absolutely necessary only those places that serve substantial meals can remain open but it's that turns of central meal that raise a lot of questions the guidelines define it as simply being a main lunchtime or evening meal that's now with the criteria preferred it creates confusion though both among bar owners and the fish oils who aren't sure how to check compliance so we asked people what they think is a substantial meal. there i think today what

i've been. up until meal i mean without it i would class a sustainable meal at what most people would class as a main meal so for example i'm just hired sausage by a much greater very substantial male to male you might be classed a lot bigger than a lot of the people who must wear the differences because people don't know. what more can you say because i'm not some which is not told me oh haha me. form to take me. i don't see how someone just. going to drink is different between just having a drink and. so is beneficial in what ways but not on the whole i don't think so no why should they have to put

a meal on it's not that sets in anybody any more than it was previously previously you had way to service most of the tables you were allowed to go to the bar where you must. come into the venue to cleanse your hand with sanitizer as you go around the one way system you don't want 2 people traveling from pole to pole drinking constantly in the end. and that's when all the idea of social distancing is. think about it will be paid for right. with election day just around the corner in america tensions are running high between the 2 opposing camps in new york's jewish pro trump bank divison those who oppose his candidacy came to blows at the weekend the motorcade waving american flags that enter the metropolis known for being a democratic stronghold thanks to this we're posing counts threw rocks and eggs boys it's just one point they block their progress the fist fights and the arrests

in suing against that backdrop social media giant facebook is reportedly preparing to ratchet up its content moderation r.t. correspondent kelly morgan looks at the platforms track record elsewhere and its tried to prevent violence. now we haven't even had the election yet here in the united states but already concerns are going to its aftermath and the potential for anarky on the streets however don't panic. facebook is on the case we need to be doing everything that we can to reduce the chances of violence civil unrest in the wake of the selection the social media giant is reported to already have a slew of emergency measures that are being planned facebook has already promised to slow the spread of viral content to lower the standards of what's considered an inflammatory post and get suppressed to tweak the newsfeeds of what users see and furthermore to suppress dangerous posts in such circumstances there's some content

that needs to be removed and there's some content that needs to not have access to the facebook tools to create a viral it facebook does not have the best record when it comes to this kind of thing these are the same tools that were deployed in man maher facebook was accused of inflaming hate speech in the country that was back when forces cracked down on rohingya muslims and it got very ugly. that. the united nations has actually called out facebook for not stopping the widespread calls for violence and the hate speech that encouraged and embolden those who are ready to kill i'm afraid that facebook has now turned into

a beast and not what it originally intended it has substantially contributed to the level of acrimony and dissension and conflict if you will within the public the speech is certainly of course a part of that in $28.00 thing facebook was once again called out for inflaming anti muslim riots this time in sri lanka. facebook has apologized for both circumstances saying that they were wrong and me and maher and in sri lanka but now facebook's approach to american politics is being scrutinized facebook decided to suppress the reports about hunter biden and his shady dealings in ukraine drawing anger and outrage from republicans i think

they're a threat to democracy when you can shut down the flow of information plenty when you can censor what millions of americans would see that's a threat to democracy they say well it says this was all done in the name of fact checking so with a controversial election and fears of violence in the united states will facebook repeat its pattern of behavior and fan the flames making things worse or will its newly discovered art of censorship save lives and restore call well they are set to ship in a big good morning it's up to this for a very long time it's not only censorship at this point this is them letting us know that they are going to decide how the conversation goes they are going to we shouldn't trust our power into them because they're going to protect all of us from mean a post that i guess believe we're going to violence in the aftermath of the election so it even goes beyond just the censorship we're used to this is them saying we're going to control the conversation we're going to control what happens in this

country what you see what you hear and what gets out there it's next level one of things about these organizations is they look down on the american people we know they think the american people are stupid violent and they think that they have to protect us from ourselves they think that we have they have to protect us from our own speech of our neighbors our friends our coworkers and the public figures and news organizations that we want to hear from so they're nannying us they think that they're doing some sort of ultimate good and of course anyone who thinks that they are key. well doing such a good that's classic like dictator mentality is that they get it you know it's best for everyone else and you were use every tool at your disposal to make sure that your idea of what's best and your and what's appropriate is the only thing that gets out and and shaping how people feed and speak. ok we're looking at allegations of nepotism in the race for the white house coming up after the break.

join me every day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the

world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. or come back the latest polls for the u.s. presidential election put joe biden ahead in the race for the white house despite recently published leaked materials that suggested corruption even conflict of interest some say though that the family is no better. takes a closer look at just how widespread is now partizan in u.s. politics. no matter who wins the election in november both biden and trump are big names in politics now and their families will continue to cash in on that but they can't help who they're related to right take biden's son hunter if you don't live

in a cave you've likely heard that he once served on the board of a ukrainian energy company while his dad was a v.p. now it's not exactly clear how much he pulled in there but reports say somewhere around 50 k. a month or more that point on his resume has cost his dad a never ending headache and he's both admitted that taking the position was probably a mistake and that he likely would have never gotten it if he wasn't biting there's a lot of things that would happen in my life that that if my last name wasn't biden didn't make a mistake well maybe in the grand scheme of things yeah but that's probably not the only business decision he regrets there's also the time he flew to china with his then vice president father on air force 2. i which didn't raise any eyebrows at the time biden brought family on foreign trips all the time but that's because back then that no one knew that hunter was forming a chinese private equity fund or that hunter met with

a chinese banker who was his partner in the fund during the trip spokesperson says it was a social visit but that scheme was approved by shanghai authorities just days later and $100.00 didn't see any money from that until after his dad was out of office when he did it was over $400000.00 under his business ties to china don't stop there but well let's move on to joe's brother james there's plenty to say about him but if we focus on one thing back in 2011 while joe was leading the obama administration's iraq policy james was executive v.p. of a construction firm that landed a 1500000000 dollars contract to build houses in iraq the company denied that the vice president's position had anything to do with the deal but what do you make of this deja vu this is his name helps him get in the door but it doesn't help him get business people who have important names tend to get in the easier but it doesn't mean success if he. the name the bomber he would get in the door easier to be fair those contracts did fall through but it's things like that that makes trump jr say things like this the biden family is the most corrupt political family in american

history i'm pretty sure that video is what pops up when looking for the meaning of the phrase the pot calling the kettle black because the trump kids are 2 and justify control of the trump organization was handed to don jr and his brother eric by their father when he took office due to conflict of interest issues but in 2017 promotional materials from trump tower mumbai were not boasting a connection to quote u.s. space real estate tycoon celebrity and potest donald trump the office of the president can't be used for personal benefit guys so the ads which are said to have been unapproved were pulled it out to trump also put her fashion line into a temporary trust before taking a role in the white house and yet reports of her company having trademarks fast tracked keep cropping up she rubbed shoulders with xi jinping and the same day several new ones are approved and speaking of her fashion lines right after an appearance on 60 minutes alongside her father after his election it was jewelry company sent out a blast promoting a $10000.00 bracelet from the line she was wearing during the interview it was

promised that things that the company were still being sorted out after the election but it wasn't the 1st time mix politics and business she previously used a speech at an r. and c. convention to her clothing line and there's also the fact that while trump was in the midst of an election his kids opened up trump international hotel in d.c. it's an honor to stand before you today and officially welcome to trump international hotel in washington d.c. and that has led several foreign dignitaries to come visit the president paying his kids for their accommodations all this nepotism and what looks like selling access to powerful men runs a fine line when it comes to legality but man it's got to be great from their perspectives. well at election year and donald trump has vowed to straighten out the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed no go in the car a buck region he spoke at length about it to supporters on sunday. and the problems

that they have in that they're fighting and everything else will get that straight that that's going to be i call that an easy one ok we'll get that go back and tell you people. are meeting and. it's easy if you know what you're doing you know what you're doing it's like that if you know what you're doing it's easy for that easy cases donald trump mentioned stretches back more than 3 decades the disputed regions populated mainly by ethnic armenians which azerbaijan calls an illegal occupation the fighting escalated in late september now the sides of agreed to pause hostilities for a 3rd time the new cease fire was agreed in washington announced sunday night just an hour to donald trump's speech in new hampshire. ringback

sirens were heard again in the capital of the disputed region despite the new agreement with both sides trading accusations again of truce file ations just minutes after it came into effect to discuss the latest ceasefire with international affairs expert paul robinson he says donald trump's just pushing his own interests. this is just domestic politics it's. very often the case that politicians will play to diaspora groups and the more organized the diaspora group the more likely it is that the politicians will pander to them in one way or another and this is really just. repeating about. americans so much of the. rhetoric. the problem here is that both sides are already pretty irreconcilable redlines the azerbaijani president. has said what is red line is that all of their territory must be returned to it which includes both going to care about

in various as every province as much under control on the other hand the prime minister. has said but his red line is that the self-determination of the people are not going to come about must be respected those 2 red lines are completely incompatible this is something which is easy enough for both sides to sign but probably without a great deal of intention of keeping to a. palestinian teenager has died after allegedly being attacked by israeli soldiers the incident occurred in the west bank on sunday when the 18 year old and his friend with chased by troops the victim's father claims the soldiers beat his son to death. my son the most it was killed in cold blood when he wasn't going to fight his radios or anything his friend's car broke down and he went to help him then the israeli soldiers followed him so i had my son didn't know anything about the area he went to so he was driving around looking for his friend so the soldiers followed him and

they started beating him until they killed him but without any reason he wasn't carrying a weapon or anything else to fight them will he was a peaceful citizen going to help it's raining. israeli army claims the teenager tripped over and hit his head during the foot chase they argue death was caused by a head injury soldiers were sent to the area following reports of stone throwing at an army vehicle the palestinian health minister confirmed the teenager had been severely beaten before arriving at the hospital on the other i witnessed what happened was his friend he reportedly fled the scene when the israeli soldiers gave chase the palestinian authorities are demanding an international probe the family say that the lost son played a key role in their lives. this area euthanize a peaceful and stable area everyone is occupy over their work and their own business killing the or martyr or argument is a tragedy he was the only help in the aid to his father who has multiple health

issues. because our son's life isn't worthless and i spent my life and lost my health raising my son to be a man and to feed his family then i lose it man attend his funeral that doesn't make any sense. 100 speech by adult hitler have sold at the munich auction house 434000 euros significantly above the starting price the manuscripts are believed to be penned by hitler in $139.00 is the basis for speech is the nazi organizations and refer to germany's war preparations and quote jewish problem with the sale that has outraged jewish groups. i cannot get my head around the sheer irresponsibility and insensitivity in such a fee brawl climate of selling items such as the ramblings of the world's biggest killer of jews so the highest bid. made fears new nazi groups might bid for the documents as a trophy yorkshire house selling the lot claimed it had taken precautions to ensure

the notice didn't fall into the quote long. we have made special arrangements for the buyers to ensure that we are not selling any of it to right wing can radical collectors he will have to hand in written assurances that is for investigate if a demick work investigation by historians analysts richard purposes. the editor of online magazine history central told us he's concerned such documents could spark interest among certain groups this is a particularly difficult time because of the growth of neo nazi ism in germany and we always had a beef we always worried about that since world war 2 ended whether you're from the west to the east everyone's always worried about the reemergence of naziism and we certainly know don't want to give them tools to enhance their movements and by allowing these documents hopefully enough but may have landed in their hands we're giving them tools to enhance their movements and that's very bad and i'm sorry that the german government didn't find a way of seizing them buying them doing whatever was necessary to bury them because

that's what needed to be done these documents had to be buried in an archive and not sold to the highest bidder. calling that famous classical composers by their last names has been deemed to be sexist and racist us slate magazine has been urging the public to use their full names only to counter systematic prejudice and exclusion is a proposal that has been done online. it's.

what we use so once last names the short term when there's no possibility of confusion. maybe it's because beethoven is so well known and doesn't need to be accompanied by his 1st name same with people who are so famous they can go by the 1st thing. i want to sit in on one of your peach meetings the stories that don't make the cut have to be better than what he published. i have no idea what that means. the reason why we don't say. the 1st name of wolfgang amadeus mozart is because we know mozart it's it's shorthand it's deference it's the fact that we are lazy sometimes we see

bush tromp biden. i normally can at least see the root of the concern i don't understand it but if you say for example miss mozart and miss chopin they meant if they were women and you never said mr maybe you could say how come you call one miss and the other one by one name maybe just maybe the reason why we're hearing this is to have a bit to eat and condition and get us used to in sanity so that we don't react to anymore where we are hit with the most pastors crazy lunacy you think there was anybody in colleges or schools or musicology who were saying they did it every time they say mozart again they're promoting

white racism and homophobia i don't understand it. and you're watching out international thanks to company updates and half an hour. max keiser this is the kaiser report you know we've broken a lot of stories over the years the hoax that is the fracking industry we broke the global instruction against banker occupation and a bunch of other ones that we were in the lead covered it nobody else did it i think now we've got a tiger by the tail here i think we're.
