like i was just scared i was a scared little girl i was 24 and like. i didn't have to be so complicated. a medical in turn commit suicide every 18 days as the pandemic pushes france's trainee doctors to breaking point. kate division the judge in the george floyd death trial warns intimidation could prejudice the case a pig's head is also thrown at the former home of a witness. as the biden administration's they story for donald trump stands on climate change we are asking if washington will now apologize for even more serious

mistakes. very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international broadcasting to you live from moscow. a french union has sounded the alarm at shocking suicide rates among hospital trainees the head of the union is pointing to a catastrophic toll. people know we're in a terrible situation now and since the start of january the has been one suicides among medical interns every 18 days after a year of brutally long hours on the covert front line hospital in turns in france are at breaking point trainee doctors are failing that told us thousands of covert patients remain in intensive care charlotta bensky reports. just to give you a sense most interns are supposed to be working 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 covert 900 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 interned in 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

the interns now they've met with the health minister here in france in the last few days and he has said that 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 well as the couvade crisis continues to bite taylor in france it looks as if there is no rest bite that'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. we spoke to a woman whose daughter worked in a clinic and took her own life in 2900 before the pandemic began the mother has set up an organization representing the families of interns who have committed suicide

during the kobe crisis she says working conditions have been unacceptable for years . my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions she worked in and started and because of the complete absence of measures to prevent psychosocial risks in the hospital where she worked every situation every death is unique the context is always different speciality is places of work but all these cases are clearly related to broken conditions they were all overwhelmed at work 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. and it's not just france one u.k. senior health worker has summarized their role as cannon fodder stuff i've 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 and there's surveys reveal the extreme pressures u.k. senior health workers are under more than 90 percent want a significant and rice with the government's one percent also described as a quote insult to in 3 have considered quitting in the last year as is the case in france many have many have worked and paid overtime we spoke to dr john punter is co-chair of the keep our n.h.s. public campaign group who say his workers are 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 to continue i think they fail absolutely worn out and overwhelmed at one point there were 50000 staff off sick with care of it so not saying you were people

covering for those but they were then covering for a huge amounts of safety and the strain means that all the stops being pulled ringback out and that many people who also have to step up in terms of doing work with normally be above the a grade if you like but nurses standing in a doing what they would at the job i don't see troops officer 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 from the government is really insulting particularly when a 2 percent rise it already being busted for and this is left start feeling very sick moralized cared for and worthless frankly. and with inoculation campaigns gathering pace well why the christie and community is winking the alarm on what he calls medical apartheid notes vaccine policies which would rule out public life to those refusing the procedure. this scheme has the potential to bring

about the end of liberal democracy as we 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 the u.k. is considering using such that have occurred so negative tests as a quote temporary measure to ease out of the lockdown the passports are to be tested at theatres at nightclubs and sports events in april and may however reverend william phillips leader of the trunk church in glasgow i just want clarity warning nothing is more permanent than temporary. there's a fear about the 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 be temporary. but you know we were asked to do a lot don't press 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 their polo neck wars 200 years ago as a temporary as a temporary matter so. 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 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. well meanwhile as the e.u. prepares to roll out a vaccination certificate so far it is they only those with jobs approved by the

european medicines watchdog will get its one we spoke to one italian businessman who sputnik the job certificate is being rejected by all 4 eighty's we have the details later in the program. the trial of former us police officer derek show even in the death case of george floyd is expected to resume on shoes day but the public violence in the wake of floyd's death has spilled over with democratic congresswoman maxine waters even calling on crowds to get more confrontational a move 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 that of murder conviction i was elected officials will stop talking about this case especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch in our function crowds gathered outside the court to demand justice full floyd while

others protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but alleged calls for violence like those from congresswoman maxine waters have been resonating around the u.s. the deaths of floyd and other black men such as dante wright's have stood hatred spanking confrontation and even the legal system working to judge such cases under tremendous pressure don't call to report. 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 listen with targets in mr broad his testimony because mr broad no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears the victim was falsely tell a good retired cop barry 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. with 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 to believe not matter where you know that you are that matter and. you got it right congresswoman maxine waters didn't just stop at playing judge jury and executioner she actively called on people to defy a lawful curfew. that meant that they broke up. but

let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just the she is the site today in the past as speaker pelosi doesn't act against the strangeness of toric 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 should come as no surprise then that even the legal system is becoming a victim of the 2 party system is political games we're living in 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've lived with completely different realities so how does that how did people come together after that i don't think they do i think. it's at best it's your it to get ever closer to. simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the mind of the pension or what happens with the outcome of the trial it's going to

weigh in the vision he tweeted that you sides of this country staying in the u.s. the bind this administration has apologized for donald trump's quote let me kate approach to the climate crisis chuckling vic i asked if this will unleash a flood of other do you confessions from the white house. we are very sorry for the last 4 years with a president who didn't care about science fair enough right from pulling out of the paris agreement kashyap waves around the world and one of the 1st things biden did after bumping trump out of the white house was to rejoin it i'm all we're at it maybe there's some other things from the past 4 years you guys want to apologize for on behalf of trump there's plenty to choose from though that could take a while and dems were pretty vocal about condemning all that stuff at the time so maybe that's a given so what about apologizing for biden's controversial past stance as he's had a long political career after all and then there's the whole inappropriate touching

thing i'm sorry this happened but but i'm not sorry in the sense that i think i did anything that was intentionally designed to do anything wrong or be inappropriate ok not quite taking responsibility there maybe it's only about apologizing for past administrations so if anyone searching for ideas on where to start look no further let's start with a biggie the 1st and only use of atomic bombs in a war it's been over 75 years since hiroshima and nagasaki were devastated by the actions of the us but not even obama was willing to make apologies for that in the midst of war leaders make all kinds of decisions it's the job of historians to. ask questions and examine them ok how about another war where dangerous weapons were used agent orange in vietnam for example and let's not forget about that forever war that biden has just promised to actually end after 20 years of bloodshed we cannot continue the cycle of the extending or expanding our military

presence in afghanistan and hoping to create ideal conditions for the draw and expect you to different result that withdrawal speech surprisingly didn't come with a sorry for overstaying our welcome section but if those examples are too controversial why not start a little smaller. and apologize for the treatment and persecution of joy in a song perhaps even drop the charges against him since his case threatens the very idea of journalistic freedoms but now what was i thinking how dare a whistleblower expose misconduct by the u.s. government's point is if apologies are going to be handed out there are plenty of people waiting in the wings to hear them but something tells me that isn't going to happen i'll never apologize for the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are good ole bush sr telling it like it is more news coming your way after this very short break.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. dares thinks. we dare to ask. anyone else seemed wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out these days. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back and italian businessman inoculated with sputnik v. has lashed out at the e.u. quote discrimination russia's shot is likely to be shut out of brussels as a covert certificate scheme until it's approved by the european medicines agency but alexandra rather lowly who drive traveled to russia to get vaccinated ses not recognising sputnik v. is outrageous. i was a really huge shock when a few days ago the council of the region and we're all running out what we see didn't is located they did. some of that but they did do that western. minister

of health and the casket was going on for people which are fascinated with me he said. look in there that. is not your fault or i hazard that recognizes from. each of us you need to do with blood to me in your land delhi it's like if you are not assuming he did and it is absolutely crazy this is real discrimination because for example now i am on my antibody i.g.g. that is that my friend which the the pfizer asked for on the sleeve sought for. a lot that you are going to see needed something but a lot of them need and i'm not personally because they did it. and they have around about the lower than higher than he so it's thought that discrimination it's

a nice tourism sector has been devastated by the pandemic with the losses last year alone estimated at more than 120000000000. euro and it has led to hundreds of thousands of job losses the italian businessman we spoke to again points out tourists will only come back if the policy is clear. i ask what is the situation what should they do because i'm technically you needed it they already go through the 2nd bills they send me that at the moment that is not any clarification and extrusion so i have to stay for it in the sequence or submission is i could see a very real what do you freshen judas the submission with and then they play here do they have to stay for. a meeting nobody would come visit don't work out for example for us. anyway from any other. you understand that this is a very big problem you can be

a really big problem for there for the summer tourist. joe biden has insisted my current admissions will continue despite admitting the unprecedented immigration situation is now a crisis that sounds the president is increasingly pressured by fellow democrats are he's more pain 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. easily here 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 intend to put out the flames of the crisis well he's going to allow more refugees into the country. that. their. 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

a spy of the blood ministrations i do not believe this country can withstand having an open 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 the administration refugee admissions target is unacceptable these refugees can wait years for the chance and go through extensive vetting 35000 already facing the greatest refugee crisis now it's time that is no reason to limit the number 215078 ain't so president joe completely and utterly unacceptable biden promised to welcome immigrants and people voted for him based on dot 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 cobble a harris who has recently been named by the white house as the borders are now 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 while 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 search away. sions is not a crisis so while the white house scrambles to deal with the crisis one thing is clear while we're here talking the migrants just keep coming up and r.t. new york you can find plenty more of the day's top stories on our website on t.v. dot com we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest see them.

tough and on the phone if i use them i found a way to go through a suit. and they could still move it to. a closet this way got to dog through hard luck the thief in the distance made this move them look at the what they call it and i don't mean to start then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way to. the floor and you can feel the feet without a visible chris wouldn't. give it a thought about. what i think is this is the fun that is accompanied.

well the pandemic no certainly no border is just blind to nationalities. as americans we don't have a therapy we don't have a back seat the whole world needs to be. people. judge you. come in a crisis with this system to times we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is creating the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't emailed. me from a go. all. of us at the source mean older than most and they seem to you know. have newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. to this day mothers still search for grown children. for their parents.

when dave decided to go off the meds think he probably didn't share it with me because. they worked for me and they were successful for me but that wasn't the case for him she knew something was was different something was wrong i was having . difficulty communicating sopra lot of stress in our relationship and we just didn't talk about it much i thought i was the worst wife in the world and i was

going on and for a day driving home i was like ok you know what can i do differently. and about i would say for weeks it later he shared with me that taken himself off the medication. when i was a huge relief to me it's not me but. you know he was just became short and irritable and he wasn't positive anymore everything was negative i was totally dysfunctional and began experiencing this. all this irrational terror like level of anxiety that i had never previously experienced might come home from work and i found him on the kitchen floor. just sobbing and rocking didn't want anybody to touch him anywhere near him. he'd go. to find a place to go hide in the house and just. sob uncontrollably it's really really

hard to see got to a point. fused to consume any more drugs came to a head several months ago. that's why right now we're separated the breaking point for me to say there was there was a couple. of the mindset that it's just going to take time and there's nothing that you can do you know here's what the options that i see mostly. in medical based and he absolutely refused to explain my entire background my psychiatrist look i took pride in being in the navy i took pride in surviving and making it through mighty and i had a high hopes to do good things for the navy and for the country and and now i don't know who i am and the only thing that's happened between then and now is i've been exposed.
