11:01 am
from. the entire news team welcome to your story. a french union has sounded the alarm of shocking suicide rates among 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. some people there is when a terrible situation known since the start of january the has been one suicides among medical interns every 18 days. he's a charlatan which he has more on the crisis facing frontline medics and frogs 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
11:02 am
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 interns and among attempted suicides it was 70 percent 4 percent of trainees had attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before interned worked a 58 hour week much of that in surgery and that's got worse during the pandemic it rose to 60 hours than 70 hours than 80 and in paris up to 100 hours so weak so it's exhausting now that union has told r.t. that they need to be immediate action to alleviate the situation and the pressure for the interns now they've met with the health minister here in france in the last
11:03 am
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 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 in turns really it seems that despite the fact that france is now in this lockdown the needs and demands on may. from doctors right the way down to those into 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 whole pandemic begun the mother has now set up an organization representing the families of end who have committed suicide during the covert crisis she says working conditions have been unacceptable for years. my daughter died of professional burnout
11:04 am
because of the conditions she 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 task is unique in the context it's 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 people until we finally have time to solve the problem know their loss should follow them full stop. but it's not just france one senior health worker in the u.k. has described their role as quote cullen fodder. stuff have been treated like
11:05 am
cannon fodder if i didn't need the money i would have resigned which is soul destroying because they used to have my job but now it feels me with dread and permanent exhausted and you saw has revealed the extreme pressure u.k. health workers are under more than 1000 percent want a significant pay rise that the government's one percent offer described as insulting a $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 who says workers are worn out when 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 feel absolutely out worn out so well at one
11:06 am
point there were 50000 staff off sick with care of it so not saying you were people covering for those but they were then coverage for a huge amounts of safety and this really means that all this stops it being pulled out and that many people who also have to step up in sends it to ng work that would normally be above to a great if you like that nurses standing in and doing work there wouldn't be done but i don't see true self with so they've taken on that issue your response to this is so i think there really is a feeling of exhaustion and i think the one percent pay off for live governments is really insulting particularly when a 2 percent rise it already been busted for and this is left start feeling very sick moralize cared for and worthless frankly. and within our campaigns gathering pace worldwide the christian community has
11:07 am
a ringing the alarm on what it calls medical apartheid it notes vaccine passes or passports would rule out public life to those who are simply refusing the injection 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 lock down the passports are being tested at theaters nightclubs and sporting events in april and may however reference william philip leader of the trunk church in glasgow is just one clergy warning nothing is more permanent than temporary. but there's a fear that the surveillance by the state and other organizations. of people's medical status and that sort of thing and perhaps leading to the provision of
11:08 am
privileges and so on it is 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 moved in 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. 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 the steel urgency we we want to show people that they need to think beyond just the immediate to the longer term problems. well
11:09 am
a new a covert lockdown is introduced in india which recently broke all records and daily cases of infections reaching 275000 other countries also risky risking being unable to fulfill its international obligations that haven't seen deliveries many vaccines are made in india other situation could prove dishonored just out of a contagious i should say to many many countries as they are all vaccines that are made in india we have details on this just a bit later in the program here on our team. and. the trial of a former u.s. police officer derek shogun in the death 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 has warned could lead to the whole trial being overturned.
11:10 am
congresswoman waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the unacceptability of anything less than 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 courthouse to demand justice for floyd while others protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but alleged violence including those from congresswoman maxine waters has been resonating around the country for the deaths of floyd and black men such as i don't say right have stood up hatred spot confrontation and put the judicial system under an immense strain is all he's gone old quarter reports. it's almost like something out of a bad hollywood movie remember derek chauvin 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's
11:11 am
his testimony because mr broad no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears the victim was full seitel it is retired cop perry brought apparently made a big mistake when he testified that george floyd's death was an accident in normal times maybe that wouldn't be such a big deal but children's trial is going on at the very same time we're seeing nonstop protests and clashes with police in minnesota over the more recent police shooting of 20 year olds do you want a right. 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. there'll be another
11:12 am
man i. know. that back here but 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 he made sure that they know. 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 things they live in completely different realities
11:13 am
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 worth it to get ever closer to. simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the mind of the tension no matter what happens with the outcome of the trial it's going to play in the division between the 2 sides in this country and staying with america the biden administration has apologized for what a cold donald trump running get approach to the climate crisis. if this kid on a flood of overdue 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 for abbott 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
11:14 am
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 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.
11:15 am
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 julia songe 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
11:16 am
united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are that all bush senior telling it like it is. the search for germany's next leader is turning into an unknown popularity contest for the country's most popular politician pulled out in favor of one of its least popular minute lush it is now the frontrunner to replace chancellor merkel after september's elections picking up the story for us is our correspondent peter on. 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 their bavarian sister outfit we do know now it will be our main lash it the 60 year old leader of the state of north rhine-westphalia has been put forward by
11:17 am
the party and agreed on by the party as their next counted it and angela merkel has just given him her blessing in september's election it comes after markets who's the leader of the state of bavaria gave a concession speech on tuesday lunchtime that followed on from they a vote 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 even if this if i do is cast in lush 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
11:18 am
and in fact we've heard from marcus billionaire who's the secretary general of the christian social union this was speaking speaking on monday saying he wanted markets voted 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 it 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 recording to this poll by the german broadcast r.t.l. the public really quite fun seed markets as the next chancellor to do
11:19 am
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 in the 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 for you 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 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
11:20 am
get more than that 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 i spoke with peter bistro in just a short time ago he's a member for the alternative for germany party you think that. nomination could prove a fatal blow for german conservatives in the long run. as a squad normal in this. day don't care what the people want america even don't care what the what they own member a song and a party that is a reach for the german system because even now we have a chancellor who s. not to make jory t. of the people behind her you know angle america was elected just. 6 percent and the reargue going to have again chancellor who will have just some 30 percent then he has. he must look for
11:21 am
a top notch and now it's going to be most probably a coalition between. a conservative party and the greens and of course of course it is this is on a long distance death short to c.d.u. c.s.u. because they used to be conservative but with this politics they are not conservative anymore. the worlds biggest sports again manufacturer nike has been forced to cancel a special edition series of boss couple jerseys after allegations of racial exclusion the tops were supposed to commemorate a unit of female u.s. pilots in world war 2.
11:22 am
the counseled top of features a star logo inspired by a plane flown by some of america's 1st female military pilots they were supposed to be worn by the dallas wings which plays in the w. n.b.a. but critics branded the logo racist on the grounds that black women were excluded from the air force back then. and after an online campaign the team the manufacturer back tracked night for w. n.b.a. and the dallas wings recently learned the history of the program does not align with our shared values of diversity equity and inclusion as a result the dallas wings will not wear this uniform on court nike and its partners are removing it from retail and night in the wings will work together on a new nike rebel edition uniform designed for the future we heard from a conservative commentator christopher harris he thinks there was nothing offensive
11:23 am
about the jersey campaign and female war hero should serve as an example for people of any race. why is it that we should not celebrate the accomplishments of what a group of people simply because someone else was not able to perform or was not celebrated was it unfortunate they did it that they did not allow all black women to become pilots yes it's unfortunate but our black palette black women pilots today yes they are this should be a perfect teaching moment instead of saying no we're not going to celebrate those will be should say hey you know what this is how it was but now let's forehead and run a campaign where we should all black women fighter pilots today that's what should be out there today but they've they're missing a golden opportunity because they're so part of in the cultural marxism in this idea of point temper tantrums that they're missing a perfect opportunity was the nation's their gated yes it was segregated at that such but i do want to point out something
11:24 am
a lot of people don't know if democratic party is the ones who so to segregate in this country in the real world in real america americans don't really care about the skin color of their of their neighbors it's the marxist dialectic it's putting one group against another it's pitting black against white. the indian capital new delhi has imposed a week long the lockdown after deadly so covert cases and daily fatalities had a record on tuesday bringing the nationwide total to more than $180000.00 hospitals across india are running at several times capacity meaning new covert patients are simply being turned away there are reports of ambulances with bodies dropping them off a crime atory ems and it's fear the true death toll could be far higher than the official data suggests a public health expert i'm on goop told us the situation is dire. the indian situation right now is very very grim with girl doesn't really. need to go harp
11:25 am
it will be very difficult for them to sort of look at you know really explode i think the current situation for indian government is will be to really ensure that they have enough supply for the their domestic population but to your question about exports i think that is something which will now have to be assessed the bigger issue is the lack of diagnosis because there are cases where people are not able to detect the core 90 into the regular testing and you have to go for a far different mccann exam and also i think the other challenge which is emerging is that it's hitting the population of a younger age which was not the case and in that way one. on monday india register 273000 covert infections with numbers remaining close to record highs but while the caseload saw as the vaccine rollout is failing to keep up only a small fraction of the population has been inoculated despite india being the
11:26 am
world's largest producer manufacturing many of the shots used in the west india has also signed up to produce 200000000 doses for up to 92 countries as part of the w h o's kovacs program or the supplies and i want to hold the government's move to restrict vaccine exports to make up the domestic shortfall and dr j. gambetta from the delhi medical association told us india can no longer afford to send its shots. is less than 10 per cent and. the we were we didn't or so many of the scene to lest we have the impact on the herd immunity and on the coverage of. it would be if you go for india. to keep pace with their international obligations in the institution were trees. for all for their countries.
11:27 am
depending on india he couldn't leave. on their own disposes. president joe biden has pledged to raise the cap on refugee admissions while also admitting the migrant influx on the southern border is now a crisis his. for months the white house has been insisting that it is not the time to use the word crisis for the situation at the border. and. even the leadership right now the crisis at the border i see said the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border. this
11:28 am
is a crisis not confirmed 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 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
11:29 am
country can handle the level of illegal immigration that is being thrust on a spy the blood ministrations i do not believe this country can withstand having an open border of 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 talk it 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 to 15000 said it 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
11:30 am
detained at the border that's a 15 year high those people are now the responsibility of vice president camila harris who has recently been named by the white house as the borders are now she hasn't actually visited the area sense that 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 understand.
