projected to go bankrupt admitted new city we speak to one desperate restaurant. scared about my family from going to drop in on a few months if there is nothing we will be shutting down probably by more that's the realistic outlook for. the e.u. launches a huge crack down on global tech giants like facebook big growing fears of online domination in the wake is similar moves by washington bring a lot of comment on. the horrors of through the eyes of one russian medic who's going numerous followers for posting sketches. hot spots really moving stuff the new documentary premieres here on this channel throughout the day . we just finished a 3 hour operation it was our 3rd today. this was my last picture my last. but one

working day. good afternoon just past midday here in moscow the 16th of december low for marty international's world news h.q. it's kevin owen here for the next half an hour the latest update the company. denmark's defended a new law to effectively classify muslim migrants separately in crime stats critics say the move clearly racist though the immigration minister for the country whose father is ethiopian by the way explained why it's needed this new designation will provide a more honest political discussion about the minority of immigrants who create very great challenges there is a huge difference in how immigrants from thailand the philippines and latin america fare in relation to people from for example the middle east and i do not think it is racist to categorize countries based on that or many of social media so that
4:03 am
raise disturbing memories of colonial practices go on copenhagen previously had just 2 groups for crime starts western and non-western but now there's this new category specially for those from predominantly muslim nations such as the middle east and north africa will still work their marks plan we were joined earlier by chair of the european network against racism and also political journalists even from the home. i don't think that acknowledging the truth and looking at the facts can ever be. racist or sick tarion but i think it's very very crucial to stress that you have to look at the numbers and the facts and this can never be racist i think actually if you are trying to make nor the facts then you create racism i have looked movies. but the problem is much. less you demonize minority means for you next rock everything negative.
4:04 am
under the beauties of religion until our. this is the races this is in this group is. the poor muslim country needs of islam i think it's very important to address the truth and it is actually them minister itself that has done this research and it shows that of 5 percent of young men from north africa the middle east pakistan and turkey actually do have some kind of sentence because they committed a crime as it is quite lower for other immigrants from other countries and this are the facts and i don't think it is raises to say hey we have a problem here because among these men there is such a high crime rate it's not because they want to and so it of ostracize them or blame them they actually wants to help them and i think if you ignore that problem
4:05 am
and people see that those people are many crimes then we have you know another tendency to more racist and so i think actually this is to prevent racists and i do understand that for all the good law abiding muslims in this country it's not nice to hear those facts but still they are facts and i don't see any kind of racist idiology behind trying to help the problem. then you make a list of 20 countries which have a muslim majority countries and see a problem come to the end that is 1st of all that is a lie because most about to stand in the trucks good the us does have good jobs there have been wonderful profession why don't we talk about them have you ever read and he holds in denmark. the contributions of acting we are just going to which have been in commerce in business is actually driving everything many many
4:06 am
services from fundamental right if you can see what i see from. relational which has proved that denmark is doing that and then action i really do think that this government and a lot of things appreciate that there are so many muslims that are well integrated into danish society and i think you are inflaming a lot of hatred against denmark when i am inside and have those i am full and i am going to understand because i am dead and that i also do something about the problem tell me one thing before we came to denmark there was no jails there was no police there was no crimes crimes have our this been committed in every society we had has in jail we had lot of other groups who are selling drugs who are doing lots of crimes exactly what i am paying them to represent is i how i was definitely you know you that if we had not only on his managed that were committing the same sort of crimes they would take camp that i can that they didn't society should stop
4:07 am
people into culture religion and group and look at the white meat of the whole of these a crime among the. problem. or the problem so we should look at that is group in which each group there is a criminality in which group there is any problem and triton solve it instead of talking about it all the time if the majority of them are functioning very well so what is the problem and those who are not. functioning very well may get some plan of action right to have them instead of minimize them but that's exactly what they're trying to do i think why do why do people call me off usually one standard unarmed. cultural background what does michael just has to do with my being that didn't i'm a black today in our day and i have lived different for 50 years so why do categorise people we don't get a grasp rebuild into what it is just doing what we if we taught but being you know if we had a young or
4:08 am
a group of young denny's man that were born in denmark that had such a high crime rate the government would address that too and say this is a problem we have to help this problem it is a problem for other people that people are committing crime not crimes no matter who they are i think we have to separate idiology and facts. of britain struggling migration issues to get a story can have a village is really opposing housing refugees near them our correspondent travel to the scene in southern england to gauge people's opinion of what they were worried about coming up later in the program sort of let you know. but next the fights of restaurants and businesses new york city hundreds of restaurant workers have rallied in the center of the city blaming the governor the governor there for fresh long term restrictions that they wore will force most out of business. write to your parents through rago. whatever you want and try to refer to our last prayer that i don't wait for. the protests came
4:09 am
a day off to governor andrew cuomo band then told them they want to big relief package has a report finds now that without help more than hoff of city restaurants is set to close permanently even iconic venues may shut for good as kalam open found. the coated night teen pandemic has been deadly for a society's most vulnerable even the big guns are not safe and for businesses it's no different here in new york city the latest victim is club 21 and i connick establishment that is now shutting its doors for good the restaurant has been serving customers for a century there's been some big stars along the way such as novelist ernest hemingway tennis player john mcenroe as well as every sitting president since roosevelt except of course george w. bush and barack obama club $21.00 is not alone small businesses have been devastated some estimates say that as many as 50 percent of them could go under
4:10 am
soon after the war and having to take it away with them when they finally get it we're not getting any support from anyone in order to pay become pretty clear they really need. to pressure keep things getting more and more and more people out of her and it actually packing the new york state restaurant association made up of over 6000 operators has many who fear they won't make it through the next 6 months it's carried every one year or every day and we there are some people we have a little bit of business we can do of these 2 little bit more right we had to bring some people back to work and it's terrible to tell them that you know we give them 15 hours these are people working full time jobs. so it's a virtue. having to tell people that and i'm scared for my family i'm going to have a job you know. you know if there is nothing that we will be shutting down probably by more that's the realistic oh we're bringing out $552000000000.00 was provided as
4:11 am
a bailout to small businesses during the pandemic however a big chunk of that went to major corporations tied to big banks not the little guys who are struggling to stay afloat meanwhile those that are still open for trade are facing even tougher restrictions now one bar owner in los angeles was fighting back tears and anger when mayor eric garcetti closed down her outdoor patio and just across the way a hollywood movie set had outdoor dining all set up town but this is dangerous. but right next to me as a slap in my face. that face politicians love to praise small businesses but is the whole game rigged it seems like when we finally emerge from this pandemic we might as well have dined out sheerest and said farewell to our favorite local spots open artsy new york.
4:12 am
the use of those street new digital rules to challenge the dome and supply will take giants the proposed legislation would apply only to the biggest companies with tens of millions of users the not named but would talk to the likes of google and amazon officials behind the trough bill said they had no choice now we have such an increase in the online traffic that we need to make rules that order into chaos. would come in your. boot. responsibility is to decide and to give 2 directions. just to protect which is in both i'm jewish. rules were district big tech of up to 10 percent of turnover of who break the competition principles european officials also want to be told of planned big mergers or acquisitions in the sector repeated violators would be banned from the
4:13 am
e.u. google's already criticized the proposal a selective punishment but europe isn't alone in its opposition just last week $48.00 u.s. states together with the federal trade commission for the lawsuit against facebook accusing a company of pumping money into unfair competition we are scarce whether all this could keep big tech in check. that the millers sort of bill merely technology expert hey there are now technology is going to be wrong but will these rules that were will tech giant dominance be controlled by this plan is it enough is it too late what think. i think if they were facing purely regulation on the european front they might be defiance but the fact that there is almost universal recognition that a level of regulation is required and that something needs to be done means that
4:14 am
they're also facing regulation in the u.s. and therefore i think the tech firms are on the back foot now this doesn't mean they're not going to hire an army of lawyers the best lawyers that money can buy and fight this every step of the way but i think they recognize that the game is up here and that regulation is coming of this cantons and i think they're going to make certain concessions in order to force the regulators off and that's maybe spending off certain businesses this might be changing certain practices but a lot of the tech giants recognize that they need to alter the way that they've been doing business and try to placate a lot of the uproar you're seeing from regulators on both sides of the atlantic yeah i mean the worry here is about trying to stand in counterfeit goods hate speech all sorts of things competitions we talked about no names specifically mentioned but we're talking i suppose google facebook except to the fine up to 10
4:15 am
percent of turnover is it big enough is it too big what you think that's going to do is it is a good is it going to make them pull their horns in could even make some of these people for instance like facebook come out of the market altogether facebook warning it could quit the huge e.u. market altogether. facebook is already talked about potentially quitting the market in the european union because of the data sharing regulations this is a slightly different matter right the biggest threat to facebook at this moment in time is in the u.s. where facebook has actually been named in the case against them and there is a big anti trust. supervision going on that starting with facebook and it's going to address most of the tech giants now. well facebook crying that this is unfair that this victimization and they're saying that they're trying to redo a previous decision around whether they can a par i acquire instagram and what's up but the the reality here is that the f.t.c.
4:16 am
never approved these acquisitions they simply didn't block them and as we've seen continued anti. by the likes of slate's book there is a very good case for make forcing them to break off or to split up certain different units in order to aid competition and to hold some of the abuses of power that we've seen a lot of these companies were going changes in the day they are game changes. are people being too tough on them are we seeing them too much as the band in sierra what i mean is this all valid. i really think there's room benefit to be had here if you look back at the time when 18 t. was broken up with the baby bells they all went on to be normal and even if they all had a successful future i really think that if we were to say break up facebook and to spin off what's up on instagram these units would have a really bright future and actually in terms of the shall the staff they know we
4:17 am
better off because these units would be worth more i separate entities than they would be as a single and i think what's happened not necessarily been particularly in the receive whilst it's been under the brawn braless or so yes book we may see if it is part of on its own it really innovating for wants to try and take on soon to try and take on other messaging platforms and i think we would see real benefits actually for the tech giants in being split so that the different units would be worth more separately would be to be combined and we'd also see other benefits to the market so i think there's real sense if. we're saying that america bought this in recently now he used doing it look at the side of it because most of these companies are based over america and they let's face it could it lead to some difficulty diplomatically if you get my drift between europe and america. i think
4:18 am
that could speak difficulties in interpretation but i think the americans are ahead of us here this new european bill has only just reaching forward with its main draft and being publicized there's still a lot of refinement and a lot of agreement to be had before it turns into law and it won't be going into law for another couple of years i think bly got some anti trust regulation in the us will already have had some impact and i think that the us again to bring in under its new with menstruation rules to actually stamp out a level of fake news and disinflation will simply be mirrored in now the u.s. might disagree with some of the finds we apply to their companies they may disagree with some other measures but at some point we're going to need to move beyond regulation and look at a slightly thorny or issue of taxation exactly how do we change the tax codes in
4:19 am
the tax structures for a digital era you know want to specially her cause she same with kovan all the time sense is a dying on their feet here and they're saying hey look at amazon you know being taxed enough what i mean what's the future for amazon is it goes as we go into this code here and we try and come back at it again not in the shops on the high street or going to be closed. you know that's why we need to look at taxation getting a lot of that where you can we which we collect. all the profits and based on where you do the work simply doesn't work particularly well in approaching these digital giants because they can be a little out in where a lot of the profits and made and they can avoid tax very very easily and they tend to be quite creative in the way the center would realize the profits and in europe but many of these giants are placed in ireland for the very simple reason that ireland happens to be a very favorable tax environment what i think we're going to need to see is
4:20 am
a more of a level playing field and that's going to be far more thorny issue when we start taxing the u.s. giants in a different way but i got companies have traditionally been taxed i think we'll see a lot more pushback from the u.s. but. never a dull moment technology expert bill me live in the program thank you for it so right next what we talk about will coded more of the fall from what a year this is be more than 26000 new covert cases and 500 deaths have been reported in russia in the past 24 hours goes on and on doesn't it brings the total number of cases to more than 2 and a half 1000000 but of course only thoughts as they've been along the way were the people of the forefront of all this on the front lines one russian medic showing us firsthand the horrors of the pandemic and the challenges of fighting it through his eyes the surgeons gained numerous followers online for posting poignant sketches my coronavirus hotspot as
4:21 am
a series was showing of various times throughout the day but isn't a look at what he's been up against. we've just finished a 3 hour operation it was our 3rd today that's one tired assistant. that's my son who came to me that night i had asked my wife to bring him my son and i have a very close relationship. i love my son and i so wanted to support him and it upset him that i missed his 1st day. moreover before he was born i'd imagine seeing my kids 1st school day crying staring into the distance looking at teachers it didn't work out sadly. but this is a patient from a care home due to diabetes he had lost both his legs. the thing is i drew him on the 5th of september. well certainly early september. when he
4:22 am
arrived i thought he would die because he was suffering from moderate to severe covert 19. he had severe breathing trouble with it and was sent to the i.c.u. but on september 17th as i was just leaving the cove in 1000 ward we were going down in the same lift. i was so surprised to see that he had recovered. he was going back to the care home. this was my last picture my last but one working day which. i was as they say at the end of my tether. that day i had sent 2 patients to the i.c.u. they were severe patients hopeless cases that day i went to the i.c.u. and it scared the hell out of me what i saw there made me draw this picture. of a depiction of despair when you walk across this room with no doors or windows and
4:23 am
as you cross it you're waiting death is sniffing around us. be sure not to miss it what has been thrown of the 1st time front line the terrible now britain is struggling to deal with growing numbers of asylum seekers and locals in one village fuming it plans to how those newcomers near them they say don't know about isa rally travel to find out more and find out what the arguments about. until 20th in record numbers of people attempting to reach the united kingdom and claim asylum thousands made the journey a while not all will be granted permission to stay long term all do need somewhere to live quite well but the question is well one location under consideration it's clear to me from village of boston stacy in hampshire where there are proposals to build accommodation for up to 500 young men seeking asylum with just the church
4:24 am
a part of the village store and a population of only a 1000 people that if it is it simply won't cope in a small were very large 500 people squat lot so i think maybe i'm not against the idea of the idea of it's good it's just the placement i think is a little off to maybe it should mean more towards a city or town. my concerns mostly focused around the facilities in the area and the fact that it will be the other sort of a 3 a $320.00 shops or any of the buildings like that it's just going to cause a danger i think with people trying to cross the carriageway the issue here is that's a field in the middle of the countryside with no facilities and their services so whatever happens those people are going to have to walk somewhere or hit film to get to the services of. the strong like. the petition by council to stop the home office from implementing the idea has been saturated but some in the local council are more welcoming of the idea i sent in the falcons in 1080 it was devastation
4:25 am
around people who did that they couldn't see any that they were trying to devastation of warfare is revenge and we don't understand that relieving trying to size peace and quiet you know we have no concept unless you've been there you can understand what the people have been through what they've had to just to survive. this empty plot is ministry of defense land and that's been floated as a location for the facility built temporary structures will include dining and sanitation facilities as well as access to basic recreation but it's been compared to prison like conditions in some one of the possibility of overcrowding and location on a busy country lane with no footpaths could be dangerous to. concerns have already been raised about other locations used to house asylum seekers such as the napier barracks facility in folks in kent the government to spend millions on housing asylum seekers and say these are just temporary measures while they work to find
4:26 am
more sustainable solutions given pressure on the system during these unprecedented times we have worked tirelessly with local authorities and other partners to provide asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute with suitable accommodation as we are required to do by law if the napier barracks experience is anything to go by there are fears of overcrowding over the covert $1000.00 condiment still ongoing the safety of those housed in the accommodation and local residents is paramount but with the number of asylum seekers needing shelters set to rise other communities could be placed in a very similar positions to the sally r t u k n botton stacey you're wrapping up this bulletin thanks for watching kevin owen starting off an hour must tell you an exclusive coming up on this channel the 1st airing an hour to international after the break of an interview with the daughter of the top iranian general assassinated by the us earlier this year so in her 1st media appearance as an absolute mini gives a sometimes emotional of course description of how she found out have fathered been

4:28 am
as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the lead up to the reality of the not financially quality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage give many people new choice. that's been a problem with the city always turn a return call the stay way oh miss. if there is no answer because the answer requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible comes.
