thinks. we should ask. the headlines this hour the latest anti pandemic measures in europe are aggravating divisions italians are among among those that are seeing a new nighttime curfew and then seeing their fury on the streets. as you can see italy is rebelling this government has decided to suppress the italian people to starve them to. the restrictions in the u.k. forced pubs and bars to serve substantial meals with any drinks they sell but without specifying what amounts to a suppliant shaw meal we get reaction from a pub owner. we did everything we finally got to open. the last little rules come in and play strike. and as new york city becomes

a battleground for fans and haters facebook is reportedly poised to beef up its moderation tools to combat election related violence or vote the system or slam does a failure when it was tried in other countries. other good afternoon just gone 2 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now there is growing resentment in europe at the moment over the latest anti pandemic rules infection rates is soaring countries are reluctant to return to full lock downs but that hasn't stopped people from getting the new measures anyway there were riots in the spanish city of barcelona hundreds gathered in one of the main squares of the cattle and capital to condemn the state of emergency imposed across the country people violated the nighttime curfew they came into force on sunday they also set bins on fire. at the local parliament and

similar scenes over in italy too where several says he saw protests get out of hand in turin for example smoke bombs were let off and bottles were hurled police while in milan riot officers resorted to to gas peter all over reports on europe's latest response to cave in and how it's being received. 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 are 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 4 people are 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.

but italians in general and people in spain is well and happy about the measures that have been put in place on them with some saying it simply won't work permit 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 fast and that was 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. yackety 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 are quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle it's not a real lockdown it's a look down by harv's 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. piece of all of the reporting there waller russia meanwhile is also toughening up its covert response without going into full lockdown from wednesday masked will be

compulsory in all public places and regional heads to have been advised to close cafes and restaurants as well as ban mass entertainment activities however in the u.k. where more than for more than a week daily new corona virus infections have exceeded 20000 among the new restrictions being rolled out in high risk areas is that pubs and bars have to serve meals with drinks if they want to stay open many owners though criticize the rule saying it doesn't make sense and are looking for ways to get around it we spoke to one who told us things are hard enough as the pandemic has driven customers away. we spent so much trial human effort not just learning the rules and not just by eating by them but what we did to a bar and me actually ever 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 open and by the time we had to recoup the losses little rules keep coming in the plate and it's driving everyone mired in that all of sudden we had to close at

10 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 be up to course because. we don't serve food doesn't make any sense this is a this was me i had nothing to lose no it wasn't for having nothing to lose this wouldn't have been know this happened without overwhelmed or and everyone's backing us it's been ridiculous and it's more than just the wins because it's huge gatherings of more than 6 both indoors and that a band in high risk areas residents too are also asked to avoid any travel that's not absolutely necessary and only those places that serve substantial males can actually remain open but the term substantial has raised a few questions the guidelines to find it simply as a main lunchtime or evening meal and provide nowhere the criteria and this has created confusion both among bar owners and officials to who are unsure how to check compliance we asked people in manchester how they would define

a substantial meal. the right thing. for me you know i mean without it i would cost a sustainable male what most people would class as a main meal so for example i'm just hard sausage pie much gravy a substantial male to male you might be cost a lot bigger than a lot of people for you that's where the difference is because people don't know. what can you actually say because. not family just not told me oh haha me. form to take me. i don't see how someone just. and having a drink is different between just having a drink and sat down so it is beneficial in what ways but not on the whole i don't

think so no why should the problem. is not with sex in any body 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 go and say will come into the venue to cleanse your hand with sanitizer or to go around the one way system you don't want to people travelling from port to port drinking constantly in the end. and that's when all the idea of social distancing is gone well think about it will be paid more reckless. now with election day just around the corner in america tensions are running high between the 2 opposing camps in new york for example jewish private trump activists and those opposing his candidacy came to blows over the weekend a motorcade waving american flags a dent in the truck police known for being a democrat stronghold activists from the opposing camp 3 rocks and eggs at the

convoy as it passed. and at one point they built their progress with fish bites and arrests. against this backdrop social media giant facebook is reportedly preparing to ratchet up its content moderation. looks at the power film's track record elsewhere when it comes to preventing on us. 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 news feeds 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 that created by reality facebook does not have the best record when it comes to this kind of thing these are the same tools that were deployed in me and 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. with. 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 he did originally intended it has substantially contributed to the level of acrimony and dissension and conflict if you will within the public hate 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 myanmar 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 work 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 the 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 are 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 and 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 biggers 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 capable of doing such a good that's classic like a dictator bent ality is that that you know it's best for everyone else and you were use every tool at your disposal to make sure that your ideal what's best and your and what's appropriate is the only thing that gets out and shaping how people think and speak and i very much part of this is rice for the white house on vacations of corruption and also i met partizan after the break we'll have

a really does run in the family. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by the curse of those great. thinks

. we dare to ask. again i don't know trump has taken aim at his democratic rival joe biden again accusing him of having received millions of dollars from abroad in shady deals. he gets 3. dollars from russia from the right of the moscow. 3. dollars what did he do for that he had no income no job.

and then he got 1500000000 from china i said to a friend of mine the biggest on wall street 1st part i said is that possible to get that he said it's not possible for my for to get it and then the big 1. $1000000.00 . for introductory purposes were trumped remarks that you come in the wake of bombshell reports featuring leaks materials which do point to corruption and conflicts of interest in the biden family although similar allegations do surround the trump family jackie has more. 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 hey 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 was applied did i 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 hundreds 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 perot 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 do easier but it doesn't mean success if he. the name of 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 kids are too and just fine

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 of connection to quote us 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 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 never tism 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. i mean don't trump has to resolve the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed nuclear no cattle back region he spoke at length to his supporters on sunday. and the problems that they have and that they're fighting and everything else. that's going to be i call that it is you one ok well get that go back and tell your people. are mean to him i. know 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 well that easy case donald trump mentioned that a stretch back more than 3 decades the disputed region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians which are the big john calls an illegal occupation the fighting escalated in late september now the sides have agreed to pause hostilities for a 3rd time and a new cease fire was agreed in washington and announced on sunday night just an hour after dawn trump speech in new hampshire. however sirens were heard again in the capital of the disputed region despite the new agreement with both sides again trading accusations of change violations just minutes after it came into effect we discussed the latest cease fire with international affairs expert paul robinson he says that donald trump is just

pushing his own interests and 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 so on mean americans that's an absolute champion type rhetoric the problem here is both sides are really pretty irreconcilable redlines the azerbaijani president. assad but is red line is that all of their territory must be returned to it. includes both going to carve out in various as every province is which under control on the other hand the prime minister. has said that his red line is 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 sort of easy enough for both

sides to sign but probably with a great deal of intention of keeping to a. palestinian teenager has died after allegedly being attacked by israeli soldiers the incident happened in the west bank on sunday when the 18 year old and his friend chased by troops the victim's father claims the soldiers beat his son to death. my son in the market was killed in cold blood when he wasn't going to fight israelis or anything his friend's car broke down and he went to help him then the israeli soldiers followed him 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 then started beating him until they killed him without any reason he wasn't carrying a weapon or anything else to fight them with he was a peaceful citizen going to help his friend when the israeli army the teenager tripped over and hit his head during the foot chase they argue the death was caused

by a head injury soldiers were sent to the area after reports of stone throwing at an army vehicle the palestinian health ministry confirms the teenager had been severely beaten before arriving at the hospital the only other eyewitness to what happened was his friend he reportedly fled the scene when the israeli soldiers gave chase the palestinian authorities are demanding an international probe and the family say their their lost son played a key role in their lives. this area euthanize a peaceful and stable area everyone is occupied over their work and their own business given the your 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 than i lose it man attend his funeral that doesn't

make any sense. now handwritten speech notes by at off have sold at the munich auction 434000 euros that's significantly more than the starting price of the manuscripts are believed to have been penned by hitler 939 they were the basis of his speeches tonight he organizations i'm a 30 germany's war preparations and it if you wish problem to say although as outraged jewish group. i cannot get my head around the sheer irresponsibility and insensitivity in such a fee bro climate of selling items such as the ramblings of the world's biggest killer of jews so the highest bidder well amid fears that neo nazi creeps might bid for the documents as a trophy the auction house selling the lot claimed it had taken precautions to ensure the notes didn't fall into the wrong hands. we have made special arrangements for the buyers to ensure that we are not selling any over to right to bring to radical collectors they will have to hand in written assurances that is

for investigate if a demick work investigation by historians and the literature purposes. of the editor of the online magazine history central did tell us he's concerned that 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 of 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 to hopefully not 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 do whatever was necessary to bury them in the that's what needed to be done these documents are to be buried in an archive and not sold to the highest bidder. i finally calling famous classical composers by

their last names has been deemed to be sexist and racist us state as slate magazine stories are urging the public to use their full names only to qantas's them in prejudice and exclusion of the proposal has been panned online. it's. just.

what we use so once last names a short turn to 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 the same with people who are so famous they can go by their 1st name. 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. 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 who i normally can at least see the root

of the concern i don't understand this but if you said for example miss mozart and miss chopin they miss if there were women and you never said mr maybe you could say how come you call the one missing 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 any more 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 3 time they say mozart again they're promoting white racism and homophobia i don't understand it.
