so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. very. a medical. training breaking point.
8:01 am
with most even thinking about quitting over the. hate. the judge in the george floyd trial the trial could be overturned. confrontation if guilty. welcome to the program here on the international running down the top stories for this. shocking suicide rates among hospital trainees. is pointing to a. well in some people it is only we're in a terrible situation now since the start of january there has been one suicides among medical into nz every 18 days or after
8:02 am
a year of brutally long hours on the covert front line hospital in turns in france are at breaking point trainee doctors are feeling the told us thousands of covert patients remain in intensive care reporting from français started to win again. 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 not 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 and among attempted suicides it was 70 percent 4 percent of trainees had attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before internet worked a 58 hour week much of that in surgery and that's got worse during the pandemic it
8:03 am
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 for the intern's 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 trying to 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 into 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
8:04 am
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 and 2019 that was even before the pandemic began. as right now as set up an organization representing the families of intones who have committed suicide during the covert crisis she says that working conditions have been unacceptable for years. when my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions for work and started it 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 the context is always different specialties places work that ellis 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
8:05 am
1st place if we wait till 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 no euro loss we should follow them full stop. well it's not just frauds one u.k. senior level health worker has summarized their role as quote cannon fodder stuff 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 more with dread the nonpermanent exhausted by the new surveys reveal the extreme pressures u.k. senior level health workers are rhonda well the 90 percent want a significant rise with the government's one percent offer described as a quote insult a $2.00 and $3.00 have considered quitting in the last year as is the case in france many have worked unpaid overtime and we spoke to dr john pointers co-chair of the keep our n.h.s.
8:06 am
public campaign group he says the workers simply put a worn out. 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 out worn out and overwhelmed at one point that there were $50000.00 starts off sick with care of it so not so new where people covering for they could expect they were then coverage for a huge amounts of safety and this really means that all this stops it being pulled ringback out and that many people who also have to step up in sends it to ing word that would normally be above de grade if you like that nurses standing in and doing work there wouldn't be done but i don't see troops officer they've taken on that
8:07 am
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 is really insulting particularly when a 2 percent rise it already being busted for and this is less start feeling very demoralized cared for and worse than us frankly and within our collection campaigns gathering pace worldwide the christian community is ringing the alarm on what a kohls medical apartheid it notes vaccine posses 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 certificates or negative tests as
8:08 am
a quote temporary measure to ease out of a lockdown the passports are to be tested though at theaters nightclubs and sporting events in april and may however reverend william philip leader of the tritone church in glasgow is just one clergy warning that nothing is more permanent than temporary. but 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 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
8:09 am
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 as church ministers as. preachers in the steel urgence we we want to show people that they need to think beyond just the immediate to the longer term problems. those with jobs approved by the european medicines watchdog will. want to. story just. now the trial of. george floyd is expected to resume on tuesday but the
8:10 am
public in the wake of floyd's death. with democratic congresswoman maxine waters even calling on us to get more confrontational a move the judges warned could lead to the. congresswoman waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the un acceptability 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 in our function crowds gathered outside the court to demand justice for floyd while those protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but alleged violence like those from congresswoman maxine waters have been resonating around the u.s. the deaths of floyd and other black men such as don't a right have stood hatred sparking confrontation leaving the legal system working to judge such cases under tremendous pressure as ati's donald quarter reports. it's
8:11 am
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 to broad for his testimony because mr bryant no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears the victim was falsely telling his 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 want a right. with
8:12 am
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. man i. know. that math problems. you got 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 then. 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 stains 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
8:13 am
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 and trial and the 2 parties see completely opposite things they've lived in completely different realities so how does that how do people come together after that i don't think they do i think that it's at best it's were it to ever closer to. simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the mind of the tension remember what happened with the outcome of the trial it's going to play in the divisions between the 2 sides in this country. and staying in the united states the biden administration has apologized for donald trump's quote running mate approach to the climate crisis jacqueline bouvier asks what other confessions or apologies could we now see coming from this new administration. we are very sorry for the last 4 years with
8:14 am
a president who didn't care about science fair enough right from pulling out of the paris agreement cause shock 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 dances 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 the biggie the 1st and only use of atomic bombs in
8:15 am
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 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
8:16 am
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 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 that all bush sr telling it like it is. stories coming your way here on this tuesday on international we were just. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for the duration let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic development only.
8:17 am
exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
8:18 am
it used to headlines here when asking international an italian businessman an ocular did with sputnik v. has lashed out at you quote discrimination russia's shot is likely to be shot out of brussels covert certificate scheme until it's approved by the european medicines agency but i found that out here ali who travel to russia to get a fax unaided says not recognizing sputnik 3 is scandalous. i was a really each shock when through this a google and the counsel of the original media online with me secret even is located in the deep are some of that but they did do the western. minister of health and the task it was going on even more for people which are vastly to do with spooled to me he said that even looking that sputnik is not yet our thoughts. and recognizes from e.-man each one of us you need to do with
8:19 am
sputnik in your land to eat only its like if you were not to see me did indeed 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 fines are asked for and the thieves sought for the family and a lot of the utica is blasting needed in the house and to the lower than me and not less immediate because they did. and they have around about the lower than higher than he thought the discrimination. italy's tourism sector has been devastated by the pandemic with losses last year alone estimated at more than 120000000000 euros it has led to hundreds of thousands of job losses as well the italian we just spoke to again he points out tourists will only come back if the policy is clear. by asking what is this is crucial what should we do because in technically yes you
8:20 am
needed it they already got it the 2nd was they sent me that at the moment that is not any clarification and extrusion so i am just the 4th in the sequence sort of situation is that i could see a very rio what do you freshened jude is the solution would. have to stay for 13 days you know. a meeting nobody would come to visit don't want accounted for example for rational interaction with any way from any under. you understand that this is a very big problem you can be a really big problem for there for the summit to just. the search for germany's next leader is turning into an unknown popularity contest after the country's most loved politician pulled out in favor of one of its least like it i mean last year it's now front runner per come chancellor at september's elections as artie's peter all of an hour picks up the story. well it's put to bed what had been weeks months
8:21 am
certainly a very tense last few hours of debate and discussion over exactly who would be standing for the chancellorship from the conservative union here in germany that's made up of the christian democratic union party and the christian social union party that's their very and this is an outfit we do know now it will be last it is the 60 year old leader of the state of north rhine-westphalia has been put forward by the party and agreed on by the party as the next counted it and angela merkel has just given him her blessing in september's election it comes after marcus who's the leader of the state of bavaria gave a concession speech on tuesday lunchtime that followed on from a late night early morning meeting of the christian democratic union federal board and it followed up with a
8:22 am
a vote as well in which the top brass of the party gave their backing to unlatch it . had said that he would respect whatever the result of the vote was and he's done just not he had this to say and making his concession rufus if i do is cast in last it will be the c.d.u. c.s.u. candidate for chancellor my word which i have given stands i told him that we as the c.s.u. accept it we offered him our full support of. the christian democratic union top brass may have given their backing to our men lash it but that doesn't mean that senior conservatives across the board are in favor of the man from north rhine-westphalia and in fact we've heard from marcus billionaire who's the secretary general of the christian social union this was speed him speaking on monday saying he wanted market soda for the job and he wasn't the only one. it's been a week of deliberation no the days of decision come are over for is marcus is inspire
8:23 am
is the union and people across the country we are experiencing a great response from marcus is now it's time for the c.d.u. the bill in show of the cd use convince the people trust markers or more to germany for this reason that will ensure the c.d.u. supports the candidacy markers or does the c.d.u. c.s.u. join candidate for chancellor armin lash it very much seen as the continuity candidate when it comes to christian democratic union policy market zada would have represented certainly a bit of a change there's never been a chancellor from the christian social union in fact the union of the 2 parties has only ever put forward a c.s.u. chancellor 2 times before neither of course were successful in that final ballot marcus's had been shown some of his own foreign policy development really in recent weeks we saw the state of bavaria announce that it doesn't deal with moscow in order to get around 2000000 doses of the sputnik very covert 1000 vaccine into
8:24 am
that state there is currently a deal on a federal level going on to bring sputnik v. into germany across all 16 states once it gets a.m.a. approval however mr zona did come forward quite publicly with the announcement that he had made this particular deal for the state that he represents when you look at a poll that came out on tuesday morning it's quite clear that according to this poll by the german broadcast r.t.l. that the public really quite fun seat mark is the next chancellor they were asked which politician should be the next leader of the country out of all of those that were named mark is that a top that list with 36 percent by comparison arman lash it wind down at the very bottom with just 3 percent put that into a bit more contests. when the public were asked if they would vote for an unnamed celebrity from outside of politics 6 percent said they would do that what the
8:25 am
christian democratic union and the christian social union would be looking for though is that now that they've named their candidate that everybody can rally behind him and we can perhaps see some of their polling increase that currently polling at around the 28 percent mark that's considerably down on the 41.5 percent they picked up the 2017 bundestag elections a lot of eyes will be looking on the how the vaccination program across germany develops during the 2nd quarter of 2021 a lot of hope was packed behind after. this 2nd quarter would be when germany's very slow and sluggish vaccination program got back on track what we are looking at and where the smart money is going at the moment. to bet on these type of things would be on a coalition between the conservative union and the green party now the greens announce their chancellor candidates on monday that will be. bach
8:26 am
she's the 1st chancellor counted at the green party of put forward the greens currently on around 21 percent of opinion polls they'll be hoping they can try and get more than not because they see themselves potentially leading the next government that would be a big shakeup in german politics but there is a long time to go yet between now and that election on the 24th of september of course artie's peter all of our reporting right there for us wrapping up the program for this hour here on r.t. international those fast turning into a busy tuesday for your worldwide headlines we are back at the top of the hour.
8:27 am
the world is driven by shaped by. the dairies thinks. we dare to ask. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. and the. only form of gold to make will feed a market to bottom is above all. of us at the source mean older that i noticed and i think ultimately the. cells of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and
8:28 am
given away and forced adoption and only. to this day mothers still search for grown children adults look in hope for their birth parents.
8:29 am
eleanor hall the man. this is a said he was suicidal taken to the hospital in a mall and there i mean if he really wanted to commit suicide there's nothing i could do about it but i was going to make it easy this all started off with a bad relationship and some tests anxiety and stress in grad school and now i am a totally dysfunctional highly suicidal individual and the only thing that's happened between then and now is i've been exposed to a series of very strong psychiatric medications right now medicines are given like a basis for seeing doctors for 5 minutes and they're given the pill it's my belief that the many of the medications that doctors are giving to patients today are more harmful than helpful to those patients they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly and most of these medications will
8:30 am
actually do that very well in the short term in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term and mostly disastrous i'm not saying something wrong with. this is just damage to my nervous system cause from a properly taken prescribed drug that a doctor told me was safe there's nothing safe about this drug this is crazy it's very clear to me after having started the science that the way we use psychiatric drugs to foster a more harm than good i remember my obese to school i was like. kids are going to be murdered and then like death thoughts created adrenaline so that when in german kids i was like oh my god am i going to be the one that does it. and then it's like yeah you're going to kill these kids and then i'm like i'm like sit here looking at my niece like in the thoughts are so bad they're like you're like teeth chatter i call my god i'm capable of that are you.
