thanks to medical in turn commit suicide every 18 days as the pandemic pushes france's trainee doctors to breaking point. common father our senior u.k. health workers describe their role in the pandemic with most even more than quitting over the last year. hate and division the judge in the george lloyd death trial warns intimidation could prejudice the case a pig's head is also thrown to the former home of
6:01 am
a witness. to . a very warm welcome to you watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from moscow. and our french union has sounded the alarm at shocking suicide rates among hospital trainees the head of the union is pointing to a catastrophic toll. we're in a terrible situation known since the start of john europe has been one suicides among men to go into every 18 days after a year of brutally longer hours on the covert front line hospital in turns and france are at breaking point trainee doctors are feeling the toll as thousands of covert patients remain in intensive care so dubinsky 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
6:02 am
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 cold 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 interns in the monger attempted suicides it was 70 percent 4 percent of trainees had attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before in term of 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 and the pressure
6:03 am
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 once 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 buy tear 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 in turns really it seems that despite the fact that france is now in this lockdown the needs and demands on medical staff 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 2019 even before the pandemic began them. mother has set up an organization representing the families often turns who have committed suicide during the covert crisis she says working conditions have been sceptical
6:04 am
for years. my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions you worked and started as and because of the complete absence of measures to prevent psychosocial risks in the hospital where she works in every situation every death is unique in the context it's always different specialties places work little list cases are clearly related to working conditions they were overwhelmed at work there were also cases of harassment and study pressure but what they all have in common is that working conditions made them more psychologically vulnerable they weren't like that in the 1st place if we wait all summer how many more will die is this acceptable to hear from the health minister that if we don't accept the fact that by summer we'll lose another 5 or 6 people until we finally have time to solve the problem know their loss should follow them full stop. and it's not just france one u.k.
6:05 am
senior health worker her summarize 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 more with dread and i'm permanently exhausted a new surveys reveal the extreme pressures u.k. senior health workers are under more than 90 percent want a significant rise while the government's one percent offer described as a quote insult to injury have considered quitting in the last year as is the case in france many have worked on paid overtime we spoke to dr john pontius co-chair of the key part and his public campaign group who say its 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
6:06 am
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 post but they were then covering for a huge amounts of safety and this really means that all the stops being pulled out and that many people who also have to step up in terms of doing work that would normally be above the a grade if you like but nurses standing in and doing work there would be no 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 that one percent pay off from the government's is really insulting particularly when a 2 percent rise it already being busted for and this is left start feeling very demoralized cared for and worse than us frankly and with an occupation
6:07 am
campaigns gathering pace while dwight the christian community is ringing the alarm on what he calls medical apartheid he notes vaccine policies would rule out public life today is refusing a 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 certificates or 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 phillip the leader of the trunk church in glasgow is just one clergy warning nothing is more permanent than temporary. there's a fear about the surveillance by the state and other organizations. of people's
6:08 am
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 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 the 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 the steel urgency we we want to show people
6:09 am
that they need to think beyond just the immediate to the longer term problems. we while as the e.u. prepares to roll out vaccination certificates already say only those with jobs approved by the european medicines watchdog will get one we spoke to an italian businessman who sputnik v. jumps to difficulties being rejected by all forat east without the details later in the program. 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's death 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. players when waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the unacceptability of anything less than
6:10 am
a 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 cool to demand justice full floyd while others protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but electric cars 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 riots have stood hatred sparking confrontation leaving the legal system working to judge such cases under tremendous pressure as i 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 lism with targeting mr broad for his testimony because mr broad no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears
6:11 am
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 want a right. with us falling deeper and deeper into a freefall of partisan division there's always a politician that's looking to turn chaos into an opportunity. there'll be another matter when i know. that matter and. you got it
6:12 am
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 they no. let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just a she is the site today in the past as speaker pelosi doesn't act against the strangest 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 how do 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.
6:13 am
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 saying in the u.s. the by an administration has apologized donald trump's quote renegade approach to the climate crisis is jacqueline fuko asks if this will unleash a flood do you confessions from the white house. we are very sorry for the last 4 years where the 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 are 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
6:14 am
a while and dems are 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 to i think i did anything that was intentionally designed to do in the 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 the 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
6:15 am
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 extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan 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 julian assange 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 us government 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
6:16 am
6:17 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical daryn time to sit down and talk. welcome back i tell you the businessman inoculated with sputnik v. has lashed out at quote discrimination russia's shot is likely to be shut out of
6:18 am
brussels is coded certificate scheme until it's approved by the european medicines agency but alessandra rival iole who travel to russia to get vaccinated say is not recognizing sputnik v. is outrageous. i was a really each shock when it is a dog and the council of the regiment we're all mine one of my secret in it is located the deed. some of them put they did the other question to a minister of health and the task it was going on even more for people which are fascinated with spooled to me he said that eve luke in their sputnik is not yet our daughter isaac and recognizes from e.-man. each of us you need to do with sputnik in your land to read only if it's likely true or not assuming he did indeed is absolutely crazy this is real discrimination because for example now in
6:19 am
my antibody i g g 5 that is delivered to my friend which the the fines are asked for on the sleeve the sought for the money and a lot of the unit below is blasting needed something to lower the need and not just because they did. and they have around about the lower than higher than he so it's thought that discrimination. at least tourism sector has been devastated by the pandemic with the losses last year alone estimates that more than 120000000000 euro and they say says that it has led to hundreds of thousands of job losses also the italian businessman we spoke to again points out taurus would only come back if the policy is clear. by asking what is the situation would surely do because then technically the sunni today already go through the 2nd of those they send me 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 in the very. what we lead but you freshen
6:20 am
judas the mission would speak to me and then they fly here do they have to stay 14 days you know. i'm eating dinner nobody. music don't work around for example for us from rush hour anyway so many on the ground. 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 be unprecedented immigration situation is now a crisis as the president is increasingly pressured by fellow democrats artie'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.
6:21 am
illegally 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. there's a price to suffer 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. if. the traditional authorities in america such as the police and the border patrol are on
6:22 am
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 and i do not believe our system i don't 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 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 administration refugee admissions target is unacceptable these refugees can wait years for that chance and go through extensive vetting 35000 already facing the greatest refugee crisis now it's time that is no
6:23 am
reason to limit the moment to 15000 son had a president show completely and utterly unacceptable biden promised to welcome immigrants and people voted for him based on doc 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 vice president cobbler 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
6:24 am
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 makeup of american citizenship 1st get the mir then make them citizens and give them the vote 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 search and. it's 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. many thanks for joining us here on altie international that's all for me

humanity since the moment society 1st decided to you know organize itself and those with wealth and means have spent gifted and bribed those in leadership often successfully 0 in effort to maintain and enlarge or gorge their bast sums of money and power this song and dance of political bribery by those with means cuts through all political affiliations and parties from democracy to communism theologies to monarchies to socialism to colonialism all throughout history. those things have been infiltrated influenced and fallen victim to those with wealth and means and while yes money in politics as i said is an old story one that we've heard countless times before that doesn't make it any less important or less deadly in fact quite the opposite especially when those with means are now spending over $2000000000.00 on the influence and control of our elected officials
6:30 am
according to a newly released study by americans for financial reform during the 20192020 election cycle wall street alone spent at least $2900000000.00 on campaign contributions and lobbying to influence policy in washington that's almost 3000000000 dollars my friends that shatters the previous record set all the way back in 2016 and amounts to roughly $4000000.00 spent a day but the financial sectors influence on the 20 twentieth's elections could actually be even higher because when you include the $1500000000.00 in dark or $1050000000.00 in dark money that was poured into the 2020 federal elections from sources on the loans. we don't even know how much wall street is spent and apparently wall street's brand the.
