the scene in this is a pursuit group he. hates and divisions the intimidation of those defending the former us police officer in the case of george floyd boils over it deflates and even a warning from the judge that the whole trial could be prejudiced as a pig's head is thrown at the former home of a witness. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from moscow. now more than a year into the pandemic trainee doctors and nurses in france are feeling the toll of an intense workload on the front line with almost 2000 new admissions to hospitals every day and 6000 patients still in intensive care according to the national union of medical interns there is now an average of one suicide every 18

days among young people working in hospitals shallow deep and ski reports from paris. well we know the in the medical profession it's one of the toughest jobs in the world and we know how much tougher that has got over the last year with the coby pandemic time and time again we've told you stories about how medical staff are suffering under the pressure now we've been hearing about the situation for medical interns who normally work brutal hours as they try and finish their training to become doctors to be the people that save lives in the future and one union has told r.t. that the situation is so bad that these essentially frontline soldiers in the war against 19 and now a breaking point. when a terrible situation known since the start of january there has been one suicides among medical interns every 18 days just to give you a sense most interns are supposed to be working
1:03 am
a 48 hour week that's more than most people would generally in a week but we know they work more than that sometimes around 60 hours in a normal week but that union told r.t. that during the code $900.00 pandemic things are so bad that some interns are working up to 100 hours every week. this is got worse during the pandemic but it was already a serious before out of also sides among medics 25 percent were interns and among attempted suicides it was 70 percent 4 percent of trainees had attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before interned worked a 58 hour week much of that in surgery and that's got worse during the pandemic it rose to 60 hours than 70 hours than 80 and in paris up to 100 hours so weak so it's exhausting now that union has told r.t. that they need to be immediate action to alleviate the situation the pressure for
1:04 am
the interns now they've met with the health minister here in france in the last few days and he has said. but they will be measures put in place to wards the end of the summer to try and find a solution to that but the union said that's not soon enough and i also want to tell you a little bit about one mother who's also been speaking or see her daughter took her own life back in 2900 so before the could be 19 pandemic. my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions should marketing and started and because of the complete absence of measures to prevent psychosocial risks in the hospital where. she's now set up an organization representing the families of student interns who have taken their lives in the last few months and she said all of them died for different reasons they took their lives in different pressures. every situation every death is unique the context is always different speciality is
1:05 am
places of work but all these cases are clearly related to broken conditions they were all overwhelmed the turn there were also cases of harassment and start of pressure but what they all have in common is that the american conditions made them more psychological vulnerable they weren't like that in the 1st place. well as the couvade crisis continues to buy tear in france it looks as if there is no rest bite it's going to come at least in the next few weeks even months for doctors nurses and of course those really it seems that despite the fact that france is now in this lockdown the needs and demands on medical stores from doctors right the way down to those interns is as much as it ever was. and it's not just france a new survey has shown huge concerns among u.k. senior health workers about the extreme pressures of the job more than 90 percent
1:06 am
said significant pay rises were needed it with the government's one percent offered raise described as a quote insult to the 3 have considered quitting in the last year as in france they have worked extra hours unpaid with one summarizing their role as cannon fodder. staff have been treated like cannon fodder if i didn't need the money i would have resigned which is soul destroying because they used to love my job but now it feels me with dread and i'm permanently exhausted the number of new daily coronavirus cases has been falling since its january peak but dr john apprentice co-chair of the key part n.h.s. public campaign group say's n.h.s. workers are already exhausted. well i think this is a real wake up call the government has to do something i mean n.h.s. managers are not know they could be vocal in their criticisms of government but this is a survey which shows they are extremely worried about how the service will be able
1:07 am
to continue i think they feel absolutely worn out so well at one point there were 50000 staff off sick with crew so not saying you were people covering for those but they were then coverage for a huge amounts of simply and this very means that all the stops being pulled ringback out and that many people who also have to step up in cern's it to him were with normally the above the a grade if you like but nurses standing in a doing work there with the job i don't see troops often so they've taken on that issue your response to this is so i think there really is a feeling of exhaustion and i think the one percent pay off for a little government is really insulting particularly when a 2 percent rise had already been budgeted for and this is left start feeling very demoralized cared for and worthless and frankly.

across the channel thummim ember states are starting to open their borders to inoculate tourists but apparently not all that scenes are equal the european commission has said that it wants green digital certificates a rolled out they will only include shots recognized by the e.u. regulator so those who receive alternative vaccines including russia's sputnik v are likely to be shutout of the new scheme until they are approved by the european medicines agency one italian businessman who traveled to russia to get vaccinated trying to get clarification from local authorities. when he was lending the no. to my last 3. so exactly the day after and which to do 2nd those so i was let's say technically needed and one end of that. i was asking to the police of the before the bus loaded that is the checkpoint. if
1:09 am
i should stay in kind and they said they don't know because they didn't get an instruction from their health said dorothy and they are now i asked what is this situation would surely do because in technical e a c needed a already got the 2nd goes they send me that at the moment there is no any clarification and extrusion so i have to stay 14 the single are against the situation as i could see them very. it's a lease tourism sector has been devastated by the pandemic with losses from last year estimated at more than 120000000000 euro and it has led to more than 330000 job losses the italian businessman we spoke to again thinks the government needs to be much clearer with travel rules if it wants to bring back to visitors. that. leave their sputnik is not here.
1:10 am
and recognizes from. advice you need to do with blood to the new land. it's like if you are not assuming this is absolutely crazy what do you freshened jude is the best solution would speak to me play here do you have to stay for. a meeting nobody would come to visit don't work around for example. or the any way from any of the. you understand that this is a very big problem you can be a really big problem for there for the summer tourist. well meanwhile some of the u.k.'s christian community are ringing the alarm over what they see as medical apartheid they claim the introduction of vaccine passports would exclude those refusing to vaccinate from public life. this scheme has the potential to bring about the end of liberal democracy as we
1:11 am
know it and to create a surveillance state in which the government uses technology to control certain aspects of citizens' lives as such this constitutes one of the most dangerous policy proposals ever to be made in the history of british politics where the u.k. is considering using such that if it has 4 negative or negative tests as a quote temporary measure it is out of the lockdown the passports are to be tested at theaters nightclubs and sports events in april and may however reverend william philip the leader of the trunk church in glasgow is one clarity warning nothing is more permanent than a temporary. there's a fear about a surveillance by the state and other organizations. of people's medical status and that sort of thing and perhaps leading to deprivation of privileges and so on if that's deemed to be not satisfactory so that's the fear of where this might lead and often. people want to introduce this kind of thing and say well it would only
1:12 am
be temporary. but you know we were asked to do a lockdown for 3 weeks just temporarily. to halt the flow of the virus and here we are more than a year later there are few things so permanent as a temporary government measures income tax was introduced in this country during the napoleonic wars 200 years ago as a temporary as a temporary matter so that people are desperate to get back to normal there's a sense that oh this would just be a temporary thing but there's a real need to think about these. unintended consequences and as as a church ministers as. preachers of this theologians we we want to show people that they need to think beyond just the immediate to the longer term problems. the trial of former us police officer derek chauvet in the death case of george floyd is expected to resume on tuesday but the public violence in the wake of floyd
1:13 am
death there has spilled over with democratic congresswoman maxine waters even calling on crowds to get more confrontational a move that the judge warned could lead to the whole trial being overturned. congresswoman waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the unacceptability of anything less than a murder conviction i wish i liked that officials would stop talking about this case especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch of our function. clients gathered outside the court to demand justice for floyd while others protested by streets chanting and singing the alleged calls for violence like those from congresswoman maxine waters have been resonating around the u.s. . and other black men such as dante writes have stood hatred stuck in confrontations leaving the legal system working to judge such cases under
1:14 am
tremendous pressure as aussies don't fall to reports. it's almost like something out of a bad hollywood movie remember derek show the ex cop whose actions led to the death of george floyd well someone threw a severed pig's head at his defense witnesses former hall and the police think someone was trying to send a message it appears the suspects in this found lism with targeting mr broad for his testimony because mr broad no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears the victim was falsely telling it is retired cop perry brought apparently made a big mistake when he testified that george floyd's death was an accident in normal times maybe that wouldn't be such a big deal but children's trial is going on at the very same time we're seeing nonstop protests and clashes with police in minnesota over the more recent police shooting of 20 year olds do you want a right. of them over.
1:15 am
my brother along for the ride because they were. known to the but. all of those the old ballad won't come out of i don't know. what the u.s. falling deeper and deeper into a freefall of partisan division there's always a politician that's looking to turn chaos into an opportunity for profitability and i'm not going to matter then what i know colorado back to that promise didn't care
1:16 am
that you got it right congresswoman maxine waters didn't just stop playing judge jury and executioner she actively called on people to defy a lawful curfew. that meant that then. let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters this inciting violence in many annapolis just as she incited it in the past if speaker pelosi doesn't act against this dangerous rhetoric i will bring action this week liberals and conservatives 2 sides that will seemingly do anything to get a leg up on the other it's a come as no surprise then that even the legal system is becoming a victim of the 2 party system is political games we're going to get a world where you look at something like the case of george floyd over the trial and the 2 parties see completely opposite things they live in completely different reality and so how does that how did people come together with that i don't think
1:17 am
they do i think. it's best to you quickly getting ever closer to. this simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the mind of the tension remember what happens with the outcome of the trial it's going to weigh in the divisions between the 2 sides in this country. more news coming up after this very short break.
1:18 am
the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person and those words those are. things. we dare to ask.
1:19 am
welcome back president biden has said my current admissions will continue despite to missing the unprecedented immigration situation is now a crisis aussie's caleb maupin has the story. for months the white house has been insisting that it is not the time to use the word crisis for the situation at the border. and. even the leadership right now the crisis at the border i see he said the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border. this crisis summer but i don't think we need to sit here and put new labels on what we have already conveyed is challenging but now biden has given in he's using the scary word that he tried to avoid because there obviously is one so how does biden
1:20 am
intend to put out the flames of the crisis well he's going to allow more refugees into the country. the traditional authorities in america such as the police and the border patrol are on the edge of rebellion because the policies being thrust on them from washington d.c. are destroying their ability to do their jobs and destroying before their eyes the nature of the united states border i do not believe our system i do not believe our country can handle the level of illegal immigration that is being thrust on us by the blood ministrations i do not believe this country can withstand having an open
1:21 am
border what's equivalent to no border at all so what prompted this big u. turn from keeping the cap set by donald trump at 1500 to opening the gates and allowing far bigger numbers well. nothing works like some good old fashioned progressive backlash this by didn't ministration refugee admissions target is unacceptable these refugees can wait years for their chance to go through extensive vetting 35000 already facing the greatest refugee crisis in our time there is no reason to limit the number 215000 say it ain't so president joe completely and utterly unacceptable biden promised to welcome immigrants and people voted for him based on that promise keep your promise in march alone 172000 migrants were detained at the border that's a 15 year high those people are now the responsibility of the vice president cobbler harris has recently been named by the white house as the borders are now
1:22 am
she hasn't actually visited the area sense there she says she just doesn't have time however border guards now suspect that she's purposely avoiding them because if she goes to the u.s. border people are going to expect her to fix the problem so she avoids it that is that's disgusting because that's putting politics ahead of what's best for this country biden seems now stuck in an almost impossible situation how does he please the progressives but also deal with the crisis he will say whatever he needs to say and i don't believe he is at present sharp enough to figure that out on his own i think he's being given guidelines so i think he's essentially being run by others in the democrat party who have a goal that i'm not sure joe biden even understands and that is to get as many illegal immigrants in here as possible to make a fundamental change in the make up of american citizenship 1st get the mere then make them citizens and give them the vote that is the plan we haven't seen stage to
1:23 am
have it yet but stage one they have to explain every day and it's not going well for them because every day more and more left wing members of the press find themselves new. i asked president biden what are you doing to people what are you doing at the border this is crazy and every day they have some kind of different explanation it's clear they're stalling for time to get as many illegal immigrants across the border as possible and that is not good well the white house spokesperson is sticking with the democrats' sacred mantra children presenting at our border who are fleeing violence or fleeing prosecution who are fleeing terrible situations is not a crisis so while the white house scrambles to deal with the crisis one thing is clear while we are here talking the migrants just keep coming up and r.t. new york. a u.s. women's basketball teams plan to commemorate

1:25 am
celebrate the accomplishments of what a group of people simply because someone else was not able to perform or was not celebrated was it unfortunate they did that they did not allow black women to become pilots yes it's unfortunate but our black and pilot black women pilots today yes they are this should be a perfect teaching moment instead of saying no we're not going to celebrate those will they should say hey you know what this is how it was but an out let's go ahead and run a campaign where we should all black women fighter pilots today that's what should be out there today but they think they're missing a golden opportunity because they're so caught up in the cultural marxism and this idea of throwing temper tantrums that they're missing a perfect opportunity was the nations that are gated yes it was segregated at that site but i do want to point out something a lot of people don't know if democratic party is the ones who so to segregate in this country in the real world in real america americans don't really care about
