phase a new city lockdown will force many out of business. spirit my family from the i would go if there is nothing there we will be turning down probably but. that's a real we are going to. a very warm welcome it's temp am here in moscow and you're watching r t international with me to carry now we start with our exclusive here on r.t. and her 1st as a t.v. a parent's we've spoken to the daughter of iran's former top military chief general kasem solomon he was assassinated by the u.s. in a drone strike back in january his daughters zainab gave an emotional description of the moment she found out and talked about the consequences off her father's death the full interview is on today's going on the ground which you can also watch at r.t. dot com but here's a quick taste of bush that. turbot night. before

a few hours that this happened for my father i hear and i spoke with him on the phone. and then i left. to visit my family and i knew of the situation in iraq was so dangerous so i add a child for the news in iraq and. one am i see is sharing on that china telegram about explosion in the airport i had a phone call after that i hear from one of our friend he was asking for my father at various he is he ok or no because i hear in the news that there is an explosion in airport. and your father was in the car and they hit it so i got so shocked and full of distress like my heart was going out from my chest when i turned on the t.v. and i saw his picture. i understand what happened and from that

they tell me i'm still shocked a lot of what happened it's so hard to believe how is the death of your father brought iran together what happened in iran and iraq was something it's something so special in the history you see how people come to the street and they are crying and they are sad and they are angry and they wonder bench and they are waiting for an answer because they know. what generals really money did for them and they know also well why order to kill my father. so so after that after killing my father america thought that everything would be stopped because they killed general soleimani departure of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the eyes of iranian

people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say as generously money has a military from people that they will take revenge from trump and they are so wrong they are thinking this will be end the end of general soli money this is the beginning our people are united and they will stand in front of such a they just powers why would donald trump say that your father was a monster well of course a 1st he is the monster not my father. and 2nd i will say. my father did his job so well and make them so angry you are seeing every plan they are making the middle east is destroyed everywhere they are trying to enter and hurts in iran they are failed why.

of course for them my father is a big monster but my father is a savior he saved people not just his own country he did this for all countries he did this for people not just middle east he this troy i says because he don't want people people innocent in europe got killed by such a dangerous virus how my father can be a person who wants to kill an american people and people in europe how he was saving them from i says he was saving them so don't let anyone to hurt them he was fighting for them how he can be a terrorist to kill people trump is gone in january and it will be joe biden who says he wants new relations with iran do you think it means anything that joe biden

will be in the white house there is no difference between biden trump they are the same guy and they are following the same policy there is no difference between them trump or dare killing my father but biden support death so there is no different they have the same thought and they are following the same way and they are the same person joe biden cannot return my father he can it can't return it so there is the problem we have with our it is with their policy this will not change they are the same people the same mind the same way and it's one of them is worse than the other one. germany has set another record in the pandemic with almost a 1000 deaths in the last 24 hours the news came on the 1st day of

a strict new lockdown in the country reporting from his piece on the. wednesday sees germany and a new lock down that will last through until the 10th of january but it also marks a very grim record $952.00 deaths over the last 24 hours with a covert 19 being confirmed by the robert cock institute germany's public health body it comes as germany enters a new strict a lockdown basically all non-essential retail polluting things like head dresses and beauty salons as well closing down the only things really remaining open are banks in some cases pharmacies and supermarkets in order for people to buy food what they did see was a rush of people going to shopping malls on tuesday evening and an attempt to cram in some last minute in person christmas shopping.

it combs after a previous measures that it being called lockdown light that came into play at the beginning of november when they were designed essentially to keep as much of the german economy open as possible at the expense of social contacts well everybody basically admitted they hadn't worked dear citizens we had all hoped to be further along but the virus still has us firmly in its grip from wednesday on work or public and private lives will therefore be more severely restricted than ever before in the history of the federal republic of germany the situation is bitterly serious and thousands of deaths in one week and an infection that threatens to get out of control we cannot avoid drastic measures here in berlin it's care homes that

have been hardest hit when it comes to infections and deaths hoffa. for around half of all deaths in berlin have been in care homes or we heard from chancellor angela merkel is a message saying stay away from elderly relatives if you can because of the possibility of infection in them with covert 19 could have huge long term impact did was out and then they had 12 and it's a feeling. i should isn't this that's less of i don't think it was and i'm glad the n.b.a. is fast as i don't need to. it's not going to be the most festive periods here in germany this year there is going to be a loosening of restrictions between the 24th and the 26th of this month but the message is still it may be a loosening of those rules but the virus doesn't take a break. meanwhile in america hundreds of restaurant workers have rallied in

central new york they blame the governor for new lockdown restrictions which they say could force them out of business. write to your parents through robo. whatever you want to try to refer to our friends or that i don't wait for the protests came a day off the governor andrew cuomo bound in dull dining they once a relief package is a report finds that without help more than hostile the city's restaurants will close permanently and even iconic venues may have to shut to scan it and reports. the coded 19 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 soon after heartland having taken away with them when they finally you know we're not getting any support from anyone in order to pay become pretty boy you really need the. depression to keep moving it's getting more and more and more people out of her happily back in 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 you carried everyone you know every day and we were there some people we had a little bit of business we could 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 only give them 15 hours of people working full time jobs. so if it hurts.

having told people that and i'm scared about my family's i'm going to have a job you know a few months if there is nothing because we will be shutting down probably buy more . that's the realistic with the current about $552000000000.00 was provided as 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 that 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. 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. well now here in russia more than 26000 new kind of 1000 cases and almost 600 deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours that brings the total number of infections to more than 2 and a half 1000000 the scale of the pandemic has prompted one russian medics to show as the horrors and challenges the fights and get through his own eyes the surgeon has gained followers on line after posting poignant sketches from a coronavirus hotspots well we've made a film about him and his was quick you can watch on the documentary website has a quick taste. we've just finished a 3 hour operation it was our 3rd today that's one tired assistant.

let them listen because that's my son who came to me that night i asked my wife to bring him my son and i have a very close relationship with this. i love my son and i so wanted to support him little 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 arrived i thought he would die because he was suffering from moderate to severe covert 19. we had severe breathing trouble with it and was sent to the i.c.u.

but on september 17th as i was just leaving the coverts 19 or so surprised to see that he had recovered. he was going back to the care hoard we were going down the same lift. was one working day which. i was as they say at the end of my tether. that day i'd sent to paul that day i went to the i.c.u. and it scared the hell out of me ask you what i saw there that made me drop this picture. of a depiction of despair when you walk across this room with no doors or windows and as you cross it you're waiting death is sniffing around you. but edu has unveiled strict new digital market rules to challenge the dominance of global tech giants the proposed legislation would apply only to the biggest

companies with tens of millions of users like google and amazon and officials behind the draft bill say they had no choice now we have such an increase in the online traffic that we need to make rules that order into chaos. in europe. vote. responsibility to decide when to give you directions. just to protect which is important to which the new rules could strip a big tack of up to 10 percent of turnover if they break the competition principles european officials also want to be told of planned a big mergers or acquisitions in the sector where people violate his may be banned from the e.u. markets well google has already criticized the proposal selective punishment but if europe isn't alone in its opposition to these big companies just last week 48 u.s. states together with the federal trade commission filed a lawsuit against facebook and accused the company of pumping money into unfair

competition we asked experts whether this latest move could keep the big tech companies in check. the idea behind this is to not try to narrow it into just one kind of tech but across all the tech spectrum of so-called gatekeepers the e.u. has consistently is lined amazon find google find facebook for violating their rules over and over a key problem here is the fact that these companies continue to break the law france and germany continually say facebook is violating the law google is violating the law so they assigned them record size fines these companies build this into their actual bottom line in terms of a line item in their budgets to say we're going to pay fines because we're going to break the rules the penalties are enormous we're talking about 10 percent of global turnover and then if there is

a persistent noncompliance that could be increased to 5 percent of daily then over there you worldwide but over the e.u. you saying hey you know we want to be able to to give our internet companies we want to give them an opportunity to compete do facebook and google will just have to accept the new reality. to the new rule it is difficult to see face grew out of the e.u. altogether could see the reality is that in diligence engine technology 70 different speeds and the new are not able to for all the evolution of technology sloan's keep for this reason that we are attempting to up the little engine if you stayed in the 20 years ago you cannot force tech giants a tool follow the rules we dismantle finance and 'd speaking we have seen in the last couple years certain very small finds enormously nicky's is these fines are

nothing awful and after giants. were sent to struggling to cope with a growing number of asylum seekers and locals in one village a fuming at plans to accommodate the nearby recently has the story. 20 twentieth's seen 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 where one location under consideration it's here in the 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 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 squad 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 other buildings like that it's just going to cause a danger i think with people trying to cross the carriageway issue here is that's a field in the middle of the countryside with no facilities and there are services so whatever happens those people are going to have to walk somewhere who hate children to get any services that will be strong like. a 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 falklands in 1800 it was devastation all around people to death that they couldn't see any that they were trying to devastation of warfare he's right and we don't understand that relieving countrysides peace and quiet you know we have no concept unless you've been there 10 understand what these people have been through and what they've had

to endure 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 and some warn of the possibility of overcrowding and the 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 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 pandemic 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. denmark has defended a new law that will effectively classify muslim migrants separately in crime statistics critics say the move is clearly racist by the country's immigration minister whose father is ethiopian and 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. many on social media said it raise

disturbing memories of colonial practices copenhagen previously had just 2 groups for crime stats western and non-western but now there is a new category specifically for those from predominantly muslim nations such as in the middle east and north africa or talk about their mosques plan we were joined by the he's the chair of the european network against racism and also political journalist i've been through. i don't think that acknowledging the truth and looking at the facts can ever be. racist or sectarian 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 try to make north the fact then you have 3 races i have looking at these. but the problem is. pretty loose you know the maligned north koreans for. next everything negative.

under. religion or are. this is the races this is in this gear is. the poor muslim country needs to be i think it's very important to address the truth and it is actually the ministry itself that has done this research and it shows that of 55 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 racist 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. sort of ostracize them or blame

them they actually wants to help them and i think if you ignore that problem 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. when you make a list of 20 or interest we tell a muslim majority countries and say the problem comes that is 1st of all that is a lie because most about disbanding the turks who are you austrians have good jobs there have been wonderful profession why don't you talk about them have you ever read any reports in denmark which athletes show us the contributions of acting we are just going to be which have been made in commerce in business is in debts you guys in everything many many service from fundamental right if you can see oh i see

the from in our international which has proved that denmark is doing that and an action i really do think that this government and a lot of things appreciate that there are so many muslims that are well integrated in the main a society i think you are inflaming a lot of hatred against denmark but i am inside and have those i am full and i am going to be unfair 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 you know the society we had has in jail we had lot of other groups who are selling drugs who are doing large so crimes exaggerated i am paying them to represent it i have a short stop do i think people into culture religion and groups and look at just like you know the whole these a crime among the people do is a problem that is alive who are 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 try to have them instead of human eyes then that's exactly what they're trying to do i think why do we. you people call me off usually standard and non us german culture background what does michael john has to do with my being that didn't i'm a black day in our day and have lived different for 50 years so why do categorise people we don't get over as we build into what it is just being where we are if we talk but if we had a young or a group of young then his nan that were born in denmark that had such a high crime rate the government would have pressed that too and say this is a problem we have to help this problem it is

a problem for the people that people are committing crime not crimes no matter who they are i think we have to separate idiology and facts. we'd love to hear your thoughts on this story and everything else they do get in touch by following us on social media and even your comments that we're back in 30 minutes. i'm after it had said we're going on the ground as the world trade organization general council meets for a 2 day summit in switzerland as the west stands accused of buying up $1000.00 vaccinations and imposing arguably illegal sanctions that home the covert response of poorer countries potentially risking the lives of billions coming up on the show almost one year ago global strategist against isis an al qaeda hearing in general custom soleimani was murdered on the orders of u.s.
