all of them now peter great to see you good morning experts warn of a covert surge in the u.s. and often after last week's thanksgiving celebrations what risks does europe face at christmas. there's a fine balancing act 50 ulead is between keeping restrictions in place over the festive period to stop the spread of coronavirus but also allowing people to see families over christmas and new year there's also a well known assault on a year leaders to try and appease some of those across the e.u. who have been furious at covert measures. the problem is if you ease restrictions over christmas and new year you may well

just be putting off a spike in coronavirus cases until january here in germany angle america lit german chancellor reluctantly and stay and easing all restrictions that will mean that up to 10 people not including children who would be present will be allowed to me between the 23rd of december and the 1st of january but she did say there was an onus on people themselves to be responsible for their actions. people in winter our worst equipped against the virus and then in the sound that because we spend much more time in such close spaces the situation the const more difficult we just have to get through this winter months and we hope people get vaccinated. the czech republic will be going further than germany they're going to see more places opened up including bars and shops there will be extra restrictions put in place though and when it comes to religious services there's

a split across europe in italy and ireland there will be socially distanced masses being held while in iceland and in germany they're going for the virtual option. we should services that we broadcast on mine and i've also created virtual confirmation classes will try to do something outside the church on christmas eve so she is a choir performance or a short service well the e.u. medic may get a glimpse of what's coming down the pipe by looking across the atlantic to the united states last week's thanksgiving holiday saw people travel all around the country to meet with friends and family there's still no data yet as to what impact that may have had on covert restrictions but the balancing act comes between not allowing short term gain in terms of being with family over christmas to result in

long term impact and that eventually leading to a 3rd spike of coronavirus across europe pathos and thank you for those the south africa. well meanwhile new york governor has been ridiculed for comparing code it to the grinch and some on social media think the better a candidate for the children's character who stole christmas eve andrew cuomo. holdridge is the group. think of at that. moment is the green and the grease that helped spread to convert into nursing homes profited on their debts by writing a book about leadership in the middle. at analogy for you trying to

is that people don't want to be set an example like that in order to go live there or their politicians are having a tremendous party while the rest of us might reach eiseley i mean look at my hero a lot. i never had here was lunch as i was a student i was you know barber in months so you know i try to be the rules and set example as a goes a little bit away by you know i think it's better people obey the rules overseas but it's not to to do the opposite to what you're you're you're selling to the public. the red cross has urged governments to fight the spread of the fight they're spread 2nd pandemic of false information on covert vaccines the humanitarian groups director for health care told us how to develop public acceptance of the job. well the reason one element these is a new pun demick a new virus that behaves in ways that we didn't know until

a year ago and we've been discovering it slowly slowly by slowly and so science is adopting to enable that and communicating able being science is difficult and that's why i think media scientists to of a critical role to play to try to explain in very simple terms that what is happening and why changes may be happening people at the moment of a very high level of vaccine hesitancy and so right now we see that the only 30 percent of population in many countries would actually be ready to take the vaccine we know that these these will increase time passes by and people get more confident and i think we have a role to play to ensure that people feel comfortable comfortable that people feel trust towards the air of authority used words that the scientists and words that means that we putting in place to keep everybody safe for all around the world new research shows that the economic effects they are the kind of crisis have plunged nearly 700000 people in bresson into poverty john edwards reports. the covered

19 pound demick has left a few corners of our lives untouched from our health to our social lives and even the food on our plates nearly 700000 people have been driven into poverty by the crisis including one 120000 children that leaves a total of $15000000.00 britons below the poverty line a staggering 23 percent however a small boost to save some as a further $700000.00 people have actually been narrowly prevented from falling below the poverty line by a temporary 20 pounds per week boost to universal credit this study however does not take into account the impact of the benefit cap which could send tens of thousands more people below the poverty line over the next few weeks when the 9 month grace period comes to an end what it means there is that many claimants could see their benefits slashed by hundreds of pounds but many antipoverty campaigners and the chair of the institute conducting the study claim the government needs to go further there have been significant increases in poverty amongst families that

will work prior to the code 19 crisis these have resulted from job losses and earnings reductions that have tipped them into poverty there is a clear need to for a comprehensive antipoverty strategy to be placed at the heart of the u.k.'s covert recovery response the poverty line is 60 percent of the u.k. median income which comes to about $325.00 pounds per week for a single parent with 2 kids $439.00 pounds per week for a couple with 2 children and 239 pounds for a senior couple now those hit hardest by the crisis have been young workers in lower paid jobs in sectors like retail and hospitality who have been crippled by the locked on measures with many of these businesses predicting to shut their doors for good the risk of thousands more people slipping through the poverty cracks remains high.

critical author takes it seriously nobody sees it as a political issue more people will join. causes than will ever die or how we're going to tell you what we should do all those ministers lose be responsible. to be transferred to train wreck a policy. or take the warning of french government bill to boost police numbers that use of drones and other questionable reforms well 20 make things worse mass protest several already force the withdrawal of parts of the measures that would restrict public filming of offices but opponents say that's not that's far not enough as a child bensky reports. it's the burning issue in france right now how to improve protection for the police while also safeguarding the public from police brutality .

amid a wave of anger with the plans to criminalize the publication of images of the police if there was intent to harm the government has backed down the ruling party and the since the much profiled article 24 would be entirely rewritten hours later the interior minister outlined his plans for reform so key a mike what is my deep conviction in what the government thinks is that we absolutely have to keep the protection of police forces during their police actions so i repeat they are not protected enough addictions with more training more

leaders and more police and the general use of police body cameras these would he said tackle the root cause of the problem meanwhile the french police chief admitted that there are some issues but he defended the owner of his offices the police the police are not violent and are not racist in saying this i'm not in denial and i am not waffling i tell you what i see and what i hear every day i see the eyes of police officers or flexion of the good side of our society but for many woods are not enough accusations of police violence of tarnish the name of the force these will brought into sharp focus over the past week as she. examples emerged.

tried to call my lawyer and try to calm people that you know even a neighborhood my screams and he wanted to call the police but it was the police. then as protests turned over the weekend did emerge that one journalist was caught in the fray injured by a police baton as he attempted to cover the demonstrations. an award winning photographer was clearly identifiable as a journalist was shocked by the injuries suffered by a colleague how b. and condemned the unprovoked violence the injuries were sustained as he exercised his legal rights as a photojournalist documenting protests on the streets of paris and now questions have been raised about the police role in the death of an 80 year old in mass

a back during the yellow vests rallies. zainab was hit by tear gas canister in 20000 while in her apartment originally an expert report submitted as part of the investigation concluded that the officer that fired the grenade had done so properly and she'd been hit accidentally that's now being questioned following an independent investigation it claims the officer launched the corner to an angle and too close to her building and it was there for an illegal short a lawyer for the victim's family as soon. that it was a deliberate act we believe the police officer fired tear gas grenade because he thought that mrs ray the one who was on the phone using its loudspeaker was filming

the police violence that took place outside her house rewriting also called 24 is unlikely to be the end of the story the recalls the entire global security bill to be scrapped passions are high not just over press freedom and the ability of citizens to film police officers but also of the deep rooted problem of police violence issues that simply cannot be whitewashed so what do you can ski r.t. paris. iran's parliament has passed a bill to raise the stakes on nuclear development unless western powers ease sanctions if not would you a government to suspend u.n. nuclear inspections and boost your raynier in richmond above the levels agreed under the international nuclear deal but the government plays the supreme national security council has yet to decide on the issue the bill passed amid uproar in the country over the killing of a wrongs top nuclear scientist to iran is blaming israel. the israeli

government is the primary suspect in this nation and they are serious evidence has been provided the situation is that from now on we will follow the same path and we will seek to create legal responsibility for it iran as has been said and it is our firm policy will respond to both the perpetrators and the commanders it will be proportionate independent and god willing with maximum pain for those who have done it. israel's government if they are refusing to comment on the issue my colleagues out here tell a discuss the situation with death. if the goal of the assassination as a lot of people are assuming was to disrupt the iranian nuclear program in your opinion will it succeed. no i don't think so but i don't think that was the point of the killing i think it was done in order to provoke iran into response that could then be used as a pretext for a strike on iran and i think this was designed to get the iranians to to take some

response with it which would then justify an attack on iran is what appeared to be the closing days of the trump administration concerns that this attack could provoke iran to divide up you know weapons what's your comment on that 1st of all there's no evidence that iran ever attempted to produce nuclear weapons iran which has the most advanced military technology in the region and we've seen that how it has been used against the american base. if iran which has that technological capability if they wanted to produce a nuclear weapon they would have done so years ago so the issue is not nuclear weapons it is a provocation just as your previous guest rightly pointed out the israeli regime is looking for a provocation to bring about war in this region because for them it is it's not the interest of the united states or europe or the region it is their own interests

let's look at who factories are there was he was a weapons specialist a nuclear weapon specialist now a school that doesn't have a soccer team doesn't hire a soccer coach and a regime that isn't seeking to carry out nuclear attacks doesn't hire nuclear weapons specialists and really you know if condemnation is going to go anywhere it must go to the to the iranian regime that celebrated this man that carried him around in government motorcade gave him a state funeral condemnation and again i have no idea who is involved the condemnation does not deserve to go to the people that remove this man from a very problematic situation condemnation only goes to the iranian regime who continue to oppress their people and continue to seek the execution of another radio. protesters were calling on a war with america over the killing of back in january of course we thought that the 2 countries came very close. to a confrontation over the model of general sort of made me my question is is this

time different and how it was for the purpose of the triggering an american attack on iran one trouble drum printer the presidency 2016 he promised an america 1st foreign policy if we didn't get there we got an israel saudi arabia 1st foreign policy it's interesting to me that even the saudis in iraq don't seem to be going along with the script on this one so we could end up with a situation where the americans really don't feel they have the regional support they would only have the cover of israel to launch an attack on iran so i'm hoping war will not come under a no matter what the iranian response turns out to be. investigative website declassified case that has been blacklisted by britain's biggest intelligence agency the website says they do use g c h q is refusing to speak to it of its revelations about the agency.

blacklisting us no g c h q public officials are just not used to dealing with journalists doing the job they used to dealing with sycophants sorry but declassified u.k. is different we're working for the public of the state and for. britain as a country which likes to pride itself in freedom of speech and this goes completely against the grain. quite like the c.h.p. was made this decision is silly it is a journalist's job to ask olcott questions to be critical of the information beatrice seems you know journalists don't do that jobs to be popular quite the reverse aren't. you know there's this little there's already been like. into a trip in style and decision and of course this is what we've seen in the

white house that when journalists upset. president donald trump they get blacklisted or are asked to leave the the white house press corps and for g c h q to do this to a. journalistic organization is astonishing. thank you turning it into our 3 ality international base morning we're back in just over 30 minutes we'll see about. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

things become more extreme then we do you still win this site for the norms not necessarily a good way. as the fictional transpiring right isn't as extreme as what the reality is. i think one of the worst things as a kid is what you want to do it's not what you want to do it's why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your watch being aware of work as a way of expression people ask me what motivates me every day and i look i'm just being me i started my company because it was an expression of myself i am just painting on a canvas but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream of what they see themselves becoming. that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term

what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the shot and i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us we have to picture what our goal is is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal but what do we want our life to look like and then create a plan to get there and we can help kids do better but it's in their own hands it's in their hands that's a lesson every kid should learn and those sort of step the responsibility i can make sure that i never will be poverty and my kids and i will of the party if i do the right thing.

hello my name's wendy 18 years old. i go to cat from high school and i am a senior this year going up there was a dozen still live together there is a 3 bedroom house there was a lot of trouble when the economy hit and everything my parents they both had lost their jobs it was kind of hard for us to even like cat food all my life even now i'm still on free and reduced lunch so now. my little brother has free and reduced lunch and there was. my sophomore year. i was on a journey with r.b.c. and coming back slowly nauseous from there and the started noticing that i was feeling different all the sudden like you're either believing or you're pregnant and i was like i don't think i'm believing the like i eat all the time like while i watch the pregnancy tests and i was like what is it's kind of like better and so

there's a pregnancy test that came out positive and just kind of frightening so my mom told me what any other parent would say to their kid. you're going to be fine we're going to get through this no matter what happens. what am i going to do. with my going to finish school how am i going to do any of the set all. just. terrified out of my mind. it turns out in the u.s. right now as an awful lot of children are being born to parents and parents who are not married to each other that is about 50 percent of the birth the youngest generation in other words about half of the birth and the youngest generation are babies born outside of marriage to typically quite young parents we

have normal over the years by doing careful study with kids who are single parents . and generally less education. in themselves and what. they also. think kids who come from married couple. more of our kids with their married parents live for their whole childhood with their married parents that also can make a huge difference they'll do better in school will be more likely college and even though they might compositions magically over the last 3 or 4 decades more kids are in still families who are kids who are both there so i think americans are going to figure this out single parents alone have high stress levels stigma comes against them because they're single parents. says teenagers we have these adult problems

that we feel like we're adults but we're very malleable in the sense that we're still children in a way our emotions go up and down and happens is though many kids are making these very tough decisions around friends and peer groups and they're making a lot of decisions around relationships and who they're falling in love with and their intimacy with those people and it's just this kind of like these tough things like what really into a lot of kids in poverty. i never thought i would. ever play because i was i am i fell out a fainting fit and i feel so much charity work so much community service or everyone at school is like when de spain is a sheriff mark and she would get one from our family isn't she the church girl i never thought that would happen. you don't think from one night. it's going to pop out 9 months later you just think oh it happened once here keep going the 5.
