we see a lot of violence on the ground and that's goes directly to the said store they have responsibility for. a medical medical in turn commit suicide every 18 days in france as the pandemic pushes trainee doctors to breaking point. british doctors and nurses are also buckling under the strain of with one health could describing staff as cannon fodder. and the judge in the george freud death trial accuses a democratic congresswoman a woman of putting the entire process in jeopardy after she called for a confrontation if there's a not guilty verdict meantime a pig's head thrown at the former home of

a witness. around the clock live from moscow this is r.t. international hello welcome was good talking with us. while jumping in this hour with our 1st story a french union has sounded the alarm at shocking suicide rates among hospital trainees with thousands of in tons working around the clock during the pandemic the head of the union says the pressure is taking a catastrophic toll. terrible situation known since the start of john europe there has been one susana the monk to go into every 18 days welsh on a difference he has more on the crisis facing frontline medics in france. 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 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 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 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 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 while we spoke to a woman his daughter walked in a clinic and took her own life and 2019 even before the pandemic began the mother. as of now set up an organization representing the families of interred who have committed suicide during the crisis she says the working conditions have been

unacceptable is. my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions for work and study it is 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 but a 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 till summer how many were 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 should follow them full stop. well it's not just in france one senior health walk in the u.k. has described the 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 permanent exhausted the latest polls show the extreme pressure u.k. health workers under more than 90 percent want a significant pay rise with the government's one percent offer described as insulting $2.00 and $3.00 have considered quitting in the past year but the government claims that many n.h.s. staff are getting much more than a one percent raise. over $1000000.00 n.h.s. staff continue to benefit from multi-year pay deals agreed with trade unions which have delivered a pay rise of over 12 percent for newly qualified nurses and will increase junior doctors pay scales by 8.2 percent well respected talk to jump on tests of the chess public has a simple one out what 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 still absolutely worn out so well at one point there were 50000 staff off sick with care of it so not saying you were people covering for those but they were then coverage for a huge amounts of sick to the missionary means that all this stops it being pulled out and that many people who also had to step up in so it was it to ing work with normally the above date grade if you like but nurses study and doing work there would be no i don't see true self 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 budgeted for and this is left start feeling very

sick moralize cared for and worse so this is frankly. the fight of this with an alternation campaign is gathering pace wild white the christian community is ringing the alarm on what it calls medical apartheid and hundreds of vaccine pa says would rule out public life to those who are fans of the president. 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 all negative tests as a quote temporary measure to ease out of the lockdown the passports are to be tested at their toes like clubs and sports events in april and may however reverend william philip leader of the tritone church in glasgow is just one clergyman

warning 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 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 on christian 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 polo neck wars 200 years ago as a temporary as a temporary matter so. people are desperate to get back to normal there's a sense that oh this would just be a temporary thing but there's a real need to think about these. 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 the longer term problems. well still to come on our program india is in the grip of the wild deadliest coverts. vaccinations are moving at a snail's pace despite the country being the world's leading manufacture of covert shots found why in late with us. in the meantime big story the trial of former u.s. pilot police officer derek chauffeur and 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 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 a murder conviction i was elected officials to stop talking about this case especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch of our function crowds gathered outside the courthouse to tim on justice for floyd while others protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but in that huge pools for violence including those from congresswoman maxine waters as i said have been resonating around the u.s. the deaths of floyd and other black men such as daunting right have start up hatred to spark a confrontation and put the judicial system under it and months strain as artie's. 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 is the suspects in this found listen with targets in mr broad his

testimony because mr broad no longer lives in the city of santa rosa it appears the victim was 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 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. to be.

mad when i know. that. congresswoman maxine waters didn't just stop at playing judge jury and executioner she actively called on people to defy a lawful curfew. but let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just as she is the site today in the past if speaker pelosi doesn't act against this dangerous with 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 living in a world where you look at something like the case of george overthrow and the 2 parties see. completely different realities to how does how do people come

together i don't think you know i think. that you need to go over. this simply choosing. one another we're never going to change the mind of the. trial it's going to end the vision between that you sides of this country well there's also been plenty of democrats speaking out in support of congresswoman waters house speaker nancy pelosi has said there's no need for want to apologize and that quoting from confrontation is within the spirit of the civil rights movement meanwhile need to pass nominees have been speaking out i don't think what she said in any way should we should criticize her for of course we should be more confrontational do you really think she's calling for violence and most people know that that's not true and the people who are speaking out against her or using it

politically i don't think that maxine meant anything by that except to say you have to stick with the you know you have to be there she's she's fine as far as i'm concerned what i want to bring in now who are his editorial director reaction times dot com he always good to have you on the program thanks for joining us i mean the fos thing i do want to ask you said the judge in the trial says that those pools for confrontation could actually lead to the whole process being low fatah and i mean surely that's the opposite of what democrats would want why do they think that that would be acceptable. well that's just the thing is it really the opposite of what democrats want i mean it seems to me that these politicians on the left have been calling for more of this violence in the street you know they they liked what happened i think in a sick way what happened last year in the wake of the george floyd's on untimely death and it was an unfortunate event but what it did what it did do really it gave

a distraction from joe biden's ridiculously condescending racist whatever you want to call it remarks that he made to the breakfast club saying that if you have a problem deciding whether to vote for him or trump then you ain't black and that was the news cycle for 72 hours until. george floyd unfortunately died while in police custody and we're going to see what winds of happening as far as what the jury decides happens in my personal opinion i think you know dede on fat and all but that immediately gave them a pass to stop talking about biden and push this other narrative of america being a racist country under president trump. we have to talk a little bit about the meta response we just saw are not snapshot that if a republican at say was quoting into question an ongoing trial do you think saying so much support from from the pond that's absolutely not listen what maxine waters

did is tantamount to mafia intimidation during the trial i mean it really is you don't know all these jurors if they catch wind of this in any way shape or form or are going to think that hey you know we saw dozens of people die in last year or is the blood of those people going to be in our hands if we don't return a guilty verdict against shalvey even if the facts of the case do not prove that he murdered george floyd you know who wants to live with that on their conscience it's completely thrown the legal process of the process and the constitutional right of this police officer into question. and number that's not to say there are critics a number of republican lawmakers have not seen what has to be expelled from congress do you think we're going to see any consequences for ha for the us won't listen i mean i would stop short of saying that they've been calling for her expulsion i mean maybe with in the case of marjorie taylor green but the house

leadership kevin mccarthy said he wants to have her censured that is nothing compared to what should happen to maxine waters listen they impeached president donald trump for saying things that were floor more but 9 on january 6th right before the capital was stormed and i don't think the president from his comments led that to that directly i think it was the injustice that the american people were seeing but you got maxine waters who in 2018 after several sanders the white house press secretary was harassed and kicked out of a restaurant the red head in the d.c. area she said and added event in los angeles you think we're rallying now already you have members. your cabinet there being booed out of restaurant protesters taking up at their house saying no peace no sleep and she would further say if you see anyone from that cabin in a restaurant and department store that a gasoline station get out and you create

a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them that they're not welcome anymore anywhere this is not the 1st time maxine has called for a confrontation she's been a rousing of rap she's been a rabble rousing and over this type of violence going back you can go back to the o.j. simpson trial you can go to michael brown you can go to many different cases where she's basically led from behind on these issues in a manner that is caused this type of destruction and listen to what what do they ultimately destroy they destroy their own communities the communities of color as a democratic stronghold or as the communities that continuously get destroyed whenever the leadership from the democrats calls for this type of behavior. i mean we can see that from what you're saying that obviously the idea of political language has changed a little bit the kind of the pressures being put up it's becoming and her case as you say maybe a bit more confrontational and democrats pushing the boundaries of what sort of

scene is traditionally acceptable political discourse and what does not mean does that mean that they'll be able to get away with sort of just about anything since the media seems to be sort of a quick a lot of what they're saying well 1st off they've got the mainstream american media in their back pocket but this is by any means necessary you know if this is rules for radicals this is whatever it takes to get the job done and they don't care apparently if people are going to die in their in their very neighborhoods their very constituents wind up dying because if you look at the people who died last year as a result of the george floyd riots you'll be any of them were people of color these are democrats these are members of black lives matter these are people that these that these politicians supposedly represent and they're putting them directly in the line of fire while they're sussed me a lot entangled in this i think we can say a lot of people would be watching what that decision from the jury comes to be that was our editorial director reaction times as i could see thanks so much thank you

so much for having me. well some news just in let's talk about reports are coming in from new york of a shooting at a supermarket on long island police say that one person has been killed 2 others injured at the mosque the gunman a fled the scene is still at large manhunt is ongoing police have advised local residents to shelter in place would of course keep you updated as the situation develops and get more information. well let's stick with the u.s. because the biden mr ation has apologized for what it called donald trump's renegade approach to the climate crisis obvious jack in view can now asks if this could unleash 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 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 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 to 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. 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 but 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 never apologize for the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are good old bush sr telling it like it is. for in europe the. next is turning into unpopular to contest off to the country's most popular politician pulled out in favor of one of its least liked. it is now the front runner for pace chance to september's elections as ati's peach all of up picks up. 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 concert of 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 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 market 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 it will be the c.d.u. c.s.u. candidate for chancellor my word which i have given stones 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 are over for is marcus is 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 you. union policy market zotto 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 according to this poll by the german broadcast r.t.l. the public really quite fun seat mark is the next chancellor to do 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 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 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 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 when i spoke with peter by step in a bundestag man but from the alternative for germany party he thinks it's nomination could prove a fatal blow for john and conservatives in the long run. this is quite normal in this. day don't care what the people want america even care will do what they on members who are on the party that isn't reaching this or for the german system or because even now we have a chancellor who has not to make jory people behind her you know until america

was elected just was some of the 6 percent and the riyadh going to have again the chancellor who will have just some 30 percent and years. he must look for a top notch and now it's going to be most probably a coalition between. a conservative party and the green 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. and finding the indian capital new delhi has imposed a week long lockdown hof to a dead end covert cases dating for a tennis 8 fatalities while they hit a daily record on tuesday bringing the nationwide total to more than 180000 hospitals across the nation author very overcrowded meaning patients are simply being turned away there are widespread reports of i'm going to says noted with

pointy ears dropping them off at crime the tory ends and its fate the official death toll could mosque the true scale of the crisis public health experts and up to told us the situation is dire. the indian situation is very grim good girl doesn't really you know continued to go. it would be very difficult for them to sort of look to you know really i think the current situation for indian government is really to really ensure that they have enough supply for the misty population but do you who isn't about exporting that is something which we now had to be. the bigger issue is the lack of diagnosis because there are cases where people are not able to dig into the regular to go for 0 or different mccann ism and also i think the other german which is emerging is that it's hitting the population of

a young girl each which was not of the kids in the in that we won on monday into right 227-3000 covert infections with numbers remaining close to record highs but all the caseload sorts of people seen a rollout is failing to keep up only a small fraction of the population has been inoculated that's despite india being the largest vaccine 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 a part of the kovacs program although those supplies are now on hold the government's move to restrict vaccine exports to make up the domestic shortfall doctor from the delhi medical association told us india can no longer afford to send its shots pulled. out.
