from. a medical in time commit suicide every 18 days and from the pandemic pushes trainee doctors to breaking point. british doctors and nurses are also buckling under the strain of pandemic with one health worker describing staff as cannon fodder. the judge in the george floyd death trial accuses a democratic congresswoman of putting the entire process in jeopardy after she called for a confrontation or not guilty verdict in the meantime a head is thrown at the former home of a witness. always

head no matter what time of the day you know and this is ot international from the whole team in a moscow a very warm welcome to our program. story for this hour is how 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. situation known since the start of john europe there has been one susana the monk to go into every 18 days or saw the difference he has more on the crisis facing front line medics at the moment and from. 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 knew they were more than that sometimes around 60 hours in

a normal week but that union told r.t. that during the covert 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 the pressure of 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 wards 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 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 when we spoke to a woman his daughter worked in a clinic and took her life in 2019 even before the pandemic began the mother has now set up an organization representing the families often turn to have committed suicide during the crisis she says the watching conditions have been unacceptable for years. my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions you

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 task is unique the context its own. 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 it will wait and 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 we should follow them full stop. well it's not just in front one senior health worker in the u.k. has described the role as an infant or 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 and permanent exhausted the latest polls show the extreme pressure u.k. health workers on the 90 percent want to significant pay rise when the government's one percent offer described as insulting 2 and 3 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 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 we spoke to dr john pontus his co-chair of the keep our n.h.s. public who says that workers are simply 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 feel absolutely worn out so overwhelmed at one point there were 50000 staff off sick with curve it so not so new work people covering for very crude post but they were then coverage for a huge amounts of simply and this really means that all the stops to be pulled ringback out and that many people who also have to step up in certain is it doing work that would normally be above their great if you like but nurses standing in and doing work there with the job 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 for a little government is really insulting particularly when a 2 percent rise it already been busted for and this is left start feeling very

sick moralized cared for and worthless and frankly. the indian capital new delhi has imposed a weeklong opt out off to a dead end covert kay says dany faintest fatalities while the hit a day new record on tuesday bringing the nationwide total to more than 118000 hospitals across the nation all 70 of a crowded meaning patients a simply being tunde away there are widespread reports of i'm going to noted with bottles dropping off a credit or ems and say the official death toll could mosque the true scan of the crisis public health expert i want up to told us that the situation is dire. the indian situation right now is very very grim with girl doesn't really. need to go harp 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 the lack of diagnosis because there are cases where people are not able to detect according to 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 writers 227-3000 covert infections with numbers remain in place to record highs but while the caseload source the vaccine rollout is failing to keep up only a small fraction of the population has been inoculated that's despite india being the world's 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

part of his kovacs program although those supplies are now on hold the government's move to restrict vaccine exports to make up with domestic shortfall talk to come there from delhi medical association told us india can no longer afford to send its shots across. the ridges less than 10 percent and. the we were we didn't or so many of the seem to have the impact on the herd immunity and on the coverage of the vexed issue it will be difficult for india. to keep pace with their international obligations in the presence of richard we're going to see the problem for the countries. in depending on india he couldn't leave britain on their own the source is. oil from the us the trial of former police

officer tara chauffeur 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 lead to the whole trial being overturned. 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 or crowds gathered outside the courthouse to demand justice before it while others protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but in that it cools the violent thing puting those from congresswoman waters have been resonating around the us the deaths of floyd and all that black men such as right have painted confrontation dishful system under another strain as alekhine'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 appears 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 falsely telling its 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 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 believe it or not does not. know. that back then. 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 their. let's not forget it takes 2 to tango was as is inciting violence in minneapolis just as she is the sun today in the past speaker pelosi doesn't act against the strangest of toric i will bring action this week liberals and conservatives 2 sides

that will seemingly do anything to get a leg up on the other it's a come as no surprise then that even the legal system is becoming a victim of the 2 party system is political games we're living in a world where you look at something like the case of george floyd over the trial and the 2 parties see completely opposite they live in completely different realities so how does how do people come together after that i don't think they do i think. it's at best it's your it to get ever closer to. 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 has also been plenty of democrats speaking out in support of congresswoman waters for example house speaker nancy pelosi has said there's no need for want to apologize and the quitting for confrontation is within the spirit of the civil rights movement meanwhile media

passanante have also been speaking out i don't think what she said and 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 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 a you know you have to be there she's she's fine as far as i'm concerned 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 neighborhood diversity constituents wind up dying this is not the 1st time maxine has called for a confrontation she's been all rousing and rabid you've been

a rabble rousing in rousing 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 listen they impeached president donald trump for saying things that were for more but 9. while staying with the u.s. administration has apologized for what it called donald trump's renegade approach to the climate crisis. can do costs if this could unleash a flood of over 2 confessions from the white house. 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 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'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 stance as he's had a long political career after all and then there's the whole inappropriate touching thing i'm sorry this happened but but i'm not sorry in the sense 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 a 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 hoping to create ideal conditions for the drone 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 u.s. government's 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 senior telling it like it is we've got plenty rule for

you off the short break so he said tight. when the central bank will claim there's that this is a big the most crime when they print money and yet we don't see that on the ground we see a lot of violence on the ground and that's goes directly to the said store they have responsibility for. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation from the community. are you going the right way or are you being

led to see. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallows. welcome back while there's been a deadly shooting in new york and a manhunt is underway in fact we are now looking at live pictures from the scene you can see the number of police cars a mosque to gunman this is what we know and to a supermarket on long island and opened fire now one person a 50 year old male who was walking in the store was killed 2 other people injured

the shooter fled the scene on is a large police have a local residents to stay in place we would of course be keeping you updated as the situation develops and that information comes in. such for job anees next need to is turning into an unpopularity contest after the country's most popular politician pulled out in favor of one of its least liked it is now the front runner to replace chancellor mark off to september's elections as artie's peter one of our explains. 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 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 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 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 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 now it's time for the cd you. very much seen as the continuity candidate when it comes to christian democratic you. 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 the world according to this poll by the german broadcast r.t.l.

the public really quite fun seed markets as 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 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

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 new zealand is having 2nd thoughts over its role in the u.s. led to 5 eyes intelligence alliance the country's foreign minister expressed her nomination for the groupings until china starts. it's a matter that would have raised with 5 eyes partners that were uncomfortable with expanding their remit or the 5 eyes relationship that we would much rather prefer looking for multilateral opportunities to express our interests on a number of issues where the 5 eyes alliance involves the u.s. britain a strange canada and new zealand there's been a traditional focus on defense intelligence with agencies sharing data ranging from satellite images to surveillance and they've only recently ventured into opening

political statements the main target of that has been china which is of course new zealand's largest trading partner last spring the 5 eyes minus using it and publicly accused of violating the rights of the week of minority and hong kong protesters or back then beijing responded with a very stern warning. no murder of 5. china's sovereigntists security and development interests. former british military intelligence officer philip ingram things the political statements coming from the 5 eyes have no real impact on intelligence activities. it's a it's purely a political discussion that's going on and relationships in the southern hemisphere between australia new zealand china and a lot of the other major players over there are going to be different to those other northern hemisphere best with the us canada and the u.k. and it's not unusual that you're going to get difference differences in foreign

policy from an intelligence perspective the stance isn't changing the comments from the new zealand foreign minister were all to do with trade and trade relationships new zealand are in a perfect perfect lot as a sovereign country to make their own foreign policy decisions the 5 eyes community will discuss it and suggest areas that may be of mutual interest but there's no compulsion and there's no international agreements to work on that and therefore you have the nothing more than further discussions going on between diplomats at the appropriate level for. the final few walls bigger sports can manufacture nike has been forced to cancel a special additional series of basketball just ease off the allegations of racial exclusion the top's was supposed to commemorate a unit of females u.s. pilots and while told to.

well the council top featured a star logo inspired by a plane flown by some of america's fastest female pilots there was space to be won by the dallas wings which pays w n b a but critics branded the local racist on the grounds that black women weren't screwed up from back then and after an online campaign the team and the money factor both backtracked. nike the 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 nike and the wings will work together on

a new nike rebel edition uniform design for the future we had from conservative commentator christopher harris he thinks that was nothing offensive about the justice and female war heroes as an example for people of any race. why is it that we should not celebrate the accomplishments of one 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 black women to become pilots yes it's unfortunate but our black pilot black women pilots today yes they are this should be a perfect teaching moment and settle saying no we're not going to celebrate those will they should say hey you know what this is how it was but without let's go ahead and run a campaign where we shall black women fighter pilots today that's what should be out there today but they think they're missing a golden opportunity because they're so caught up in the cultural marxism and this idea of point temper tantrums that they're missing a perfect opportunity was the nation's segregated yes it was segregated at that

such but i do want to point out something 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 stylistic it's putting one group against another it's pitting black against white and that's how things are looking at goodbye from one of us here must go up next how not the kaiser important. people. are all those driven by general. senators from.

your dares thing through. we dare to ask. psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients. they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term and mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines ending up to something wonderful very often.
