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 goes directly to that said responsibility for. the jury finds minneapolis police officer derek guilty on all charges in the killing of george floyd last year case has been closely watched with years earlier of. medical in turn commit suicide every 18 days in france as the pandemic pushes a trainee doctors to the breaking point. and british doctors and nurses are also buckling under the strain of the pandemic was one health worker describing the staff as cannon fodder.

are broadcasting live ever studios in moscow this is arch international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now former minneapolis police officer has been convicted of murder and manslaughter in the death of george floyd a black man he rested last year he was immediately taken into custody and you're looking at live pictures that we can see now from new york people there are showing their support for the verdict. children faces a sentence of up to 40 years in prison president biden has made a statement calling systemic racism a stain on the whole nation's soul and vice president harris has urged lawmakers to pass the georgia floyd bill aimed at. reforming police in the u.s.

with more details on the case here's our correspondent killed martin. the whole country and many people around the world were watching as that verdict came in this was the police officer who is seen on tape taking the life of george floyd and that video recorded incident sparked a huge episode of unrest all throughout the united states the country seems to almost go up in flames as amid the pandemic people saw that video and were just filled with outrage let's review what happened in reaction to the ceiling now which has been declared a murder of george floyd. so

now the officer on film taking george floyd's life his he is now a convicted murderer the jury came back and on all 3 counts you know he was

convicted of the trial we had the defense arguing that it was actually it was a drug related death it wasn't actually the officers fault the jury just did not buy it a lot of testimony a lot of evidence was shown and the jury has convicted officer derek chauvet now it's important to note that joe biden the president of the united states and congresswoman maxine waters both made comments in the lead up to today's trial verdict about what they wanted the verdict to be pretty in the murder rate her. release i would say. the jury was the question. will be not does not. know. that. now it's important to know that an appeal is expected at this point many have looked into the situation surrounding the trial and said that if the if the defense

does not appeal this verdict it would be highly unlikely there won't be an appeal now sentencing is set to take place within 8 weeks and she was not granted bail was not released he was remanded taken into custody meaning they do expect that he could be a possible flight with this guy and so you will be awaiting sentencing behind bars now under minnesota's sentencing guidelines children would sceptically receive roughly 12 years in prison with a conviction like this however prosecutors could argue at the sentencing hearing for a longer sentence based on the. aggravated nature of the crime and the severity of it so the fact however that does not have any previous convictions normally resulted in getting a 12 year sentence in the state of minnesota following the guidelines but at the moment there is a feeling of jubilation on the streets outside the outside the courtroom the protesters feel this is

a victory for the black lives matter movement they feel that something that has in many cases not happened which is an officer facing punishment and being convicted for the killing of an african-american man has been achieved and many of them say this is a direct result of the fact that people poured into the streets that pressure was placed on the u.s. justice system on elected officials in order to carry out this prosecution and conviction so quite quite a big day here in the united states however there are mixed reactions coming from different parts of the country but at this point much of the country those who are part of the black lives matter movement and protests those to the streets since the killing most especially last summer where things got very intense those folks are celebrating. round the time the verdict in the derek sheldon trial was being announced an african-american teen was fatally shot by police in columbus ohio the officers were initially responding to reports of an attempted stabbing the city's

america has called on the residents to remain calm and allow for an investigation into the incident. french union has sounded the alarm at shocking suicide rates among hospital trainees with thousands of in turns working around the clock during the pandemic the head of a union says the pressure is taking a catastrophic toll. on some people in those who were in a terrible situation known since the start of john you were there has been one suicides among men to go into it's every 18 days or to show dubinsky 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 not 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 interns in the monger attempted suicides it was 70 percent 4 percent of trainees had attempted suicide and that was before the current crisis before an intern 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 bite taylor in france it looks as if there is no rest bite that's going to come at least in the next few weeks even months for doctors nurses and of course those into really it seems that despite the fact that france is now in this lockdown the needs and demands on medical staff from doctors right the way down to those interns is as much as it ever was. spoken to a woman whose daughter worked in a clinic and took her own life in 2019 even before the pandemic. again mother has now set up an organization representing the families of interns who've committed suicide during the covert crisis she says working conditions have been unacceptable for years. my daughter died of professional burnout because of the conditions you worked and started as 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 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 no there are laws we should follow them full stop. and it is not just france one senior health worker in the u.k. has described their role as 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 and permanent exhausted the latest polls show 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 describing described as insulting and 2 in 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 per cent rise 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 co-chair of the keep our and they just public who says workers are 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 well at one

point there were 50000 staff off sick with so not saying you were people covering for those but they were then covering for a huge amounts of safety and the strain means that all this stops being pulled out and that many people who also had to step up instead was it doing work that would normally be above de grade if you like but nurses standing in and doing were they would be 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 being busted for and this is left start feeling very sick moralize cared for and worthless frankly.

the indian capital new delhi has imposed a week long lockdown after a deadly surge in komenich cases fatalities had a daily record on tuesday bringing the nationwide total to more than $180000.00 hospitals across the nation are severely overcrowded meaning new covert patients are simply being turned away there are widespread reports of ambulances loaded with bodies dropping them off and crematoriums and it is feared the official death toll could mask the true scale of the crisis public health expert armaan told us the situation is dire. indian situation right now is very grim with theirs and really you know continued to go. it would be very difficult for them to sort of look you know really explore i think the current situation for a new environment is will be to really ensure that they have enough supply for the domestic population but to you who isn't about exports i think that is something

which we are now hired to be it says the bigger issue is the lack of diagnosis because there are cases where people are not able to take the 19 through the regular testing and to go for a different mccann ism 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 in the in the wee one. on monday india registered 273000 covered infections with numbers remaining close to record highs but while the caseload soars the vaccine rollout is failing to keep up only a small fraction of the population has been inoculated this is 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 the kovacs program although those supplies are now on hold the government

has moved to restrict vaccine exports to make up for the domestic shortfall dr j. . from the delhi medical association told us that india can no longer afford to send its shots abroad. he. didn't or. so many. have the impact on the herd immunity on the coverage. it will be if you go forward in the. to keep bees that didn't do their share obligation in the institution were. wrong for their countries. depending on india. on their own disposes. after allegations of sexual misconduct and mismanaging the pandemic the governor of new york has yet another scandal on his

hands andrew cuomo is now being investigated for using state funds to write his new book it is called american crisis leadership lessons from the covered 1000 pandemic and much of the work in compiling the memoir was done by cuomo staffers while receiving state salaries while most team denies any wrongdoing they did there was criminality involved spake unclip served in its face and is just the furthering of a political pile on any state official who volunteered to assist on this project did so on his own time and without the use of state resources earlier this year andrew cuomo was accused of downplaying the true death toll in new york state care homes cuomo has accepted some blame but denied a deliberate cover up tracey alvey no assistant director of voices for seniors which represents the rights of care home patients think the book was poorly timed a donor cuomo. we're in the middle of

a pandemic people are dying and you had time to write a book that was my 1st thought it was adding insult to injury of felt like i got hunched in the gut all of the families felt the same way he he dares to write a book when we're suffering and people are dying a just it's unconscionable it's amazing that the deaths of over 15000 innocent senior citizens wasn't the nail in the coffin so to speak for governor cuomo as a governor share if that that's the most egregious kremlin the sextet that bad the book deal that's bad too but there's nothing what our agree just in the mass deaths of over 15000 innocent senior citizens if that didn't get him out of office what will get him out of all it's. made by the administration has apologized for what it called

a donald trump renegade approach to the climate crisis or to jaclyn volga asks if this could unleash a flood of overdue 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 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 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 at all bush sr telling it like it is. 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 alarm of the groupings anti china stance it's a matter that we have raised with 5 eyes partners that we are uncomfortable with expanding their remit of the 5 eyes relationship that we would much rather prefer

looking for multilateral opportunities to express how we interests on a number of issues. the 5 eyes alliance involves the us britain australia canada and new zealand there has been a traditional focus on defense intelligence with agents sharing agencies sharing data ranging from satellite images to surveillance and they have only recently ventured in to openly political statements of the main target of that has been china which is new zealand's the largest trading partner last spring the 5 eyes my mr new zealand publicly accused of violating the rights of the minority and hong kong protesters back then beijing responded with a stern warning. no matter if they had 5 eyes that is. china's sober insist security and development interests where is being moved and wind. former british military intelligence officer philip ingram thinks the

political statements coming from the 5 eyes have no real impact on intelligence activities. 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 that are northern hemisphere best with the us canada and the u.k. and it's not unusual that you're going to get different 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 the room foreign policy decisions the 5 eyes community and we'll discuss it and suggest areas that may be of mutual interest but there's no compulsion and there's no international agreements to work with and therefore to

be nothing more than further discussions going on between diplomats at the appropriate level. the search for germany's next leader is turning into an unpopular early contest after the country's most popular politician pulled out in favor of one of its least light lash it is now the front runner to replace chancellor merkel after september's elections artie's peter oliver has more. 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 our main 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 their 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 in last it will be the c.d.u. c.s.u. candidate for chancellor my word which i have given stands i told him that we as the c.s.u. accept it we offered him our full support 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 city 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 only have a 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 record into this poll by the german broadcast r.t.l. the public really quite fun seat market 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 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 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 we heard from peter by a. member from the alternative for germany party he thinks arming lash it's nomination could prove a fatal blow for german conservatives in the long run. it's quite normal in this spot to day don't care what the people want america even don't care what the what they own members who are on the party that is a reconnaissance office. system because even now we have a chancellor who as not to make jory c.e.o. of the people behind her you know angle america was elected just with some 5536 percent and the riyadh going to have again chancellor who will have just some 30 percent then he has. he must look for a pot and now it's going to be most probably a coalition between. the conservative party and the greens and of course of course

it is this is on a long distance a debt to c.d.u. c.s.u. because they used to be conservative but with this politics they are not conservative anymore. 32 minutes that's when i'll be back with another look at your news this is arch international stay with us. psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients rather 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 and very often there are full effects of it up to something terrible 10 pills. probably trying to medicate life itself i just think i was in like i was just scared me i was a scared little girl of 24 and like. the didn't have to be so complicated. math guys are financial survival guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into a cast quite easily. to keep in mind though as a team into a place of. record. greetings and sell you take. you know today who today i feel like singing my

hockey watching friends i feel like singing one of my favorite political songs of the past 20 years because united states president joy. sabai haddon has decided that he will finally be the one to end the u.s. war in afghanistan the longest running war in u.s. history yep just like former presidents donald trump and barack obama tried to do before him joe biden has now taken up the mantle of promising to bring u.s. troops home from afghanistan and by the historically significant and big ratings date of september the 11th 2021 no less but but but what about all those russian bounties on u.s. soldiers heads you ask you know the ones that just last year outraged all of capitol hill and prevented former u.s. brand name and donald trump from an acting his plans to withdraw soldiers from afghanistan.
