violence on the ground and that's goes directly to the feds they have responsibility for that. commits suicide. as the pandemic pushes trainee to a breaking point. under the strain of the pandemic with. the judge in the george floyd death trial the democratic congresswoman of putting the. guilty verdict. thrown of the form of

a witness. into a busy day here in moscow for your worldwide headlines on our international. welcome to the program. a french union has sounded the shocking suicide rates among the hospital trainees with thousands of working around the clock during the pandemic the head of a union says the pressure is taking a catastrophic toll. terrible situation since the start of january there has been one suicides among medical every 18 days. has more on the crisis facing frontline medics and. 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 were more than that sometimes around 60 hours in a normal week but that union told r.t. that during the code 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 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 and 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 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 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 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 even before the pandemic began the mother has. now set up an organization representing the families of into you have committed suicide during the covert crisis she says the working conditions have

been unacceptable for years. my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions for work and study 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 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 before we finally have time to solve the problem no euro loss we should follow them full stop. and it's not just friends one senior health worker in the u.k. has described 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 a new survey has revealed the extreme pressure u.k. health workers are under more than 90 percent want a significant pay rise with the government's one percent offer described as quote insulting or $2.00 and $3.00 have considered quitting in the past year as is the case in france many have worked overtime without extra pay and we spoke to dr john pointed co-chair of the keep our n.h.s. public he says that work is 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 there were 50000 staff off sick with care of it so not saying you were people covering for pace but they were then covering for a huge amounts of safety and this may mean that all this stops it being pulled ringback out and that many people who also have to step up in sends it to ng work that would normally be above de grade if you like but nurses standing in and doing work there would be done but 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. where the whole collection

campaigns gathering pace well why'd the christian community as a ringing the alarm on what a kohls medical apartheid it notes vaccine possums would rule out public life to those people 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 a quote temporary measure to ease out of the lockdown the passports are to be tested at theaters nightclubs and sporting events in april and may however referent william philip the leader of the tron church in glasgow is just one clergy warning that nothing is more permanent than temporary. that 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 and 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 and 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 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 the longer term problems.

only those with jobs approved by the european medicines watchdog will. who. is being rejected by. his story of those details a bit later in the. administration has apologized for what it told renegade approach to the crisis. 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 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 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 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 any 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 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 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 senior telling it like it is. the search for germany's next leader is turning into a popularity contest after the country's most popular politician pulled out in favor of one of its least like last year it is now the frontrunner to replace chancellor merkel after september's elections details now with peter all of. well it's put to bed what had been weeks months 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 they're very an outfit we do know now it will be arm in lash 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 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 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. 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 our offer is marcus's inspires the union and people across the country we are experiencing a great response from marcus is now it's time for the city you 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 is only ever put forward a c.s.u. chancellor 2 times before neither of course were successful in that final ballot

when you look at a poll that came out on tuesday morning it's quite clear that world according to this poll by the german broadcast r.t.l. the public really quite fun seat market as the next chancellor but into a bit more context when the public were asked if they would vote for an unnamed celebrity from outside of politics 6 percent said they would do that 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 that and 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 if you were 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 candidate on monday that will be. bach

she's the 1st chancellor counted at the green party of put forward the greens currently all 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 shake up in german politics but there is a long time to go yet between now and. that election on the 24th of september. my let's bring in peter bester on who is a german m.p. for the alternative for germany party also the party's foreign a policy speaker peter thanks for coming us on the program an r.t. international today said german conservatives are sticking with. it even though all the polls show that he's really rather unpopular why have they done this do you think why does this quite normal and this party they don't care what the people want america even don't care what 'd the what they are on member of the party it's

not so far away it's just. go the parties should decide who will be the leader and the members of the party they want to treat 3 men who is conservative and the upper are chicks and the party they choose lush it and now the same up or a chicks in this political party they choose again well i shit counted out the chancellor does this this is normal and this is going to ruin this party i'm sure but i wanted to ask you did you think this decision to go for lasher instead of soda from the junior coalition part of the c.s.u. could this hurt the coalition's chances of winning the september vote. well i would say the biggest influence on the election already happens your name is not in a bedrock of the party of the green is also a candidate for a chance or and here happen some seem very unusual even the green party is the

smallest party group in the german aliment they have quite the 8 percent they were not so remarkable they have no important spot in spite of this fact they have been heavily pushed by the german media especially the state on television. televisions and they have been very present in the last syria or both 'd both leaders of the green party and thus they have been pushed up from 8 percent to 21 and desist this is the remarkable thing and now it's going to be most probably a coalition between blank form a conservative party and the greens and of course of course it is this is on a long distance a death for the c.d.u. c.s.u. because they used to be conservative but with this politics they are not conservative anymore well it's interesting you bring in the aspect of the green

party because many as i think you were alluding to there are predicting that the greens stand to gain the most from last night's nomination poll suggesting they could beat him you think that's likely peter. well in a normal situation i would say never ever in a bar. after having seen what happened last year and it would. actually cause it in the journalistic stuff of the televisions which is saying that the young journalists in the public television would devote more than 90 percent of them would vote for socialists communists or green so they are far left they are doing their programme and distraction. and nothing can be excluded we ceded that there are now coming. more and more scandals so it. sees m.p.'s and the last

4 weeks there have been discovered several scandals corruption scandals always that in d.c. do you see and know what is taking care of the problems within the green party so it is going to be a really really interesting race so with these with these political shenanigans ongoing how could all this affect your party's chances for the september federal election how well we have. treats man then the greens all the media are always picking up there with the saying our own are certain and not certain not to the distributing what we are doing. picking just the negative fags and they are trying to push us down but it looks like that our party will remain around 1012 percent. on

a german m.p. for the alternative for germany party joining us live here on r t many many thanks for your time and your insight we appreciate that and you're welcome. i thank you for spending time with us here at r.t. international your news returns in just a moment. the world is driven by dream shaped by those great. snow dares thinks. we dare to ask.

anyone else seemed wrong well just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day. and in the game because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. it is good to have you with us today at the trial of former us police officer derek chauvet and 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 the judge warned could actually lead to the entire trial being overturned. because when waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the un acceptability of anything less than a murder conviction i wish elected 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 of crowds gathered outside the courthouse to demand justice for floyd while others protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but alleged colds for violence including those from congresswoman maxine waters have been resonating around the u.s. the deaths of floyd and the other black men for example that don't pay right stood up hatred and certainly spot confrontation and ultimately is putting the judicial system under an immense strain as donald cotton now 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 listen with target seems to broad his testimony because mr brown no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears the victim was falsely telling 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 kay. into an opportunity. to. know. that. 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. but let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just as she has the site today in the past as speaker pelosi doesn't act against the strangest 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 going to get

a world where you look at something like the case of george floyd. and the 2 parties see completely opposite they live in completely different realities so how does that how did people come together i don't think they do i think the. best it's good to get ever closer to. this simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the other mind can remember what happened with the outcome of the trial it's going to play in the visions you tween that you sides in this country. and italian businessman and you're with sputnik v. has a lot the e.u. 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 alexandra what about the audi who travel to russia to get vaccinated says not recognising split mcvie is out gracious. i was

a really each shock when the truth is that google and the counsel of the original media online know what my secret even is located the deeper some of them put they did do the question today instead of the health and the casket what's going on even for people which are fascinated with spooled to me he said that eve lukin that sputnik is not yet our thoughts. and recognizes from e.-man. each of us you need to do with sputnik in your land to eat only it's like if you are not the assimilated in this is absolutely crazy this is real discrimination because for example now i am a young my antibody i g g 5 that is the that my friend which the the fines are asked for and the fees sought for the family and a lot of the unit below is blasting needed something but they lower the meat and

not listen to it because they did leak it and they have an antibody lower than higher than he thought that it discrimination italy's or tourism sector has meantime been devastated by the pandemic with losses last year alone estimated at more than $120000000000.00 euros it's also led to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs the italian we just spoke to again he points out that tourists will only come back when and if policy is clear. by asking what is this a good show would surely do because in technical e you needed it they already got the 2nd those they send me that at the moment that is not any clarification and extrusion so i have to stay 14 the single and sort the situation is i could see in a very rio what we left in a fresh and jude is the solution with. a slate here do they have to stay 14 days you know. a meeting governor dean nobody would come to visit our county. sort of

simple answer charlotte anyway. you understand that this is a very big problem you can be a really big draw in minnesota before the summer of 2 is there are some other top stories for this hour here on our international nearly half past 4 on tuesday afternoon here in the russian capital we are back with more.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race on all fronts very dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. this is the one business show you can't afford to mess i'm rachel in washington coming out china says it's a new digital currency isn't aimed at taking down the u.s. dollar but it is hoping to add another choice to the market or take a look.
