in the claims of faith test results, no checks, and no ma'am, said the euro 2020 final. the world health organization says it was devastating for efforts to control, but still the prime minister boris johnson is pushing ahead with his freedom day plan for england next week. many people in high risk groups are horrified at the new we hear from some of them. companies like mind it's freedom day. it's very frightening man, and i'm not to die. this like a battle continues as cove. it's highly contagious. delta very, it takes root around the world, accounting for more than 90 percent of new cases in russia, we return to the red zone to see how health care workers are coping with the challenge. the and hash tag f. so s, cuba is trending on social media as us politicians expressed strong support for the

protesters, while cuban officials blamed their northern neighbors for meddling in the countries internal. ah, hello there, it's 2 pm here in moscow and you're watching our international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now we start this news hour with some breaking news coming from our sister channel r t. arabic. it says that the channels baghdad correspondent astra, as our way has been detained by the iraqi security forces. at the moment he is reportedly being taken to an unknown location. security forces have also sealed off our t arabic office in iraq, and we will be staying across this developing story. and of course, bring you any updates that might be the beautiful game, but it's not looking good for the fight against cove. it. it feared that sundays euro 2020 final could result in a huge spike in cases as the victorious italian

t paraded their trophy through the centre of rome. the enormous crowd gave little thought to colbert regulations, and that came just a day after tens of thousands of unmasked fans crammed together during the match in london. the world health organization has described the event as devastating. am i supposed to be enjoying watching transmission happening in front of my eyes? the cool read 19 pandemic is not taking a break to night. sorry, covey to delta baron will take advantage of an vaccinated people in crowded settings, unmasked screaming, shout, and singing. devastating. the $60000.00 fans barely a mass to be seen, a lack of social distance thing. no checks and claims of faith test results. that was the scene playing out at wembley stadium. sports journal with derek clark, who was at the game, says, hope controls were

a joke. at times i didn't even need to do or feet attached because you weren't even checked for you want to see there were just checking your phone for you and you would want to see that you had a ticket on your phone. they were just allowing you and doesn't matter if you had a negative test or if you really feel that the test either missing more really to the the think you should have taken more seriously is not checked with in police. and it was just a law of sorts of people with motor bus security measures should have been in police as well. but this wasn't enough security of yours to try to get the the checks, health care officials have warned. the euro 2020 finals can see the u. k. heading towards a 1000000 new infections within a month. right now cases have shot up to around $35000.00

a day. but the prime minister is still going ahead with his plan to remove most restrictions in england next week. over the government says it's all due to a successful vaccination program that seen almost 35000000 people receiving a shot. we will stick to our plan to lift legal restrictions and to lift social distancing. there are clark again, who is at that tens final between england and italy, fears that a spike of cases on the horizon. the restrictions are using at the 19th of july, of course is when looking at this final restrictions easing as well. so things are getting back to normal, but very little people waiting masks and last nights, especially heading towards the underground station after the lounge. i might of people but no dual monster waiting so that they could be a rising, teach because of that. then as i mentioned,

they'll have no checks for corporate heading into the grounds. so that as of what that, i mean i was in the ground just about 20 minutes. there was already 3 or 4 young guys of it's already posted in in while the plan to set england free from nearly all covered rules has left many terrified, especially though seen as most at risk in england alone, there are almost 4000000 cases classed as extremely vulnerable to the virus and for them there is nothing liberating about the upcoming freedom day calling it freedom days just take will totally ridiculous. so how many like mine is, is anything but freedom day, taking away all mitigations against that just makes it very scary place to, you know, to be, you know, putting to greatly. and the thought that not everyone has to wear masks anymore. well, it's the major pulses and protection gone full hon. people feel quite let down and

very forgotten. laura and liz, i just to of 94000000 people in the clinic, leave hon category. when the pandemic 1st broke out, this group were told to shield, meaning they couldn't leave their homes and face to face contact was next to none. shielding is currently paused in the u. k, but with all social distancing set to be scrapped, millions may have no choice but to go back behind closed doors. it's very frightening man, and i may not survive if chuckled with lawyers. i expect i will probably go back and see ice lation and more shielding as i was before to protect myself. i think the form of a community have been totally ignored. rarely, in the whole of this, the original plan of shielding. it should only have ever been a temporary masha whilst they put safe mitigations in place and brought the case numbers down. because the government refused to do that. it does no change for us

in 16 months, nothing has changed to make the world safer place since the start of the pandemic around $6.10 corona virus deaths in england have been among disabled people and well, the government vaccination program rollout was seen as light at the end of the tunnel, only half the country is fully jobs, meaning the other half of the country is still unprotected. not only that, but many people with particular health conditions don't respond well to the job, putting them at even more risk. so ditching mandatory most wearing and social distances for people like nora is life changing to me. the 2 main things which appears to be being taken away, which is face masks and distancing. and that's who really easy things and they don't really cost anything to say things, but difficult or damaging to anybody. you know, it doesn't restrict them in any way. if people don't do that, there's a lot of families truck, the new guidance. the shield, as is expected to come from the department of house,

yet news of this announcement is gas. every time a lockdown has ended or restrictions have been eased, many shield us have been forced to make their own decisions. and they accused the government of forgetting about them. labor has called for a utah on freedom day and more guidance for those most vulnerable. we want to put in a controlled way and keep in line baseline to purchase a concrete sound inflections like mandatory placement from a pop by mouth on public transport. how we know that we protect people or reduce the speed of the virus and the spread. the virus and it was called the economy, common sense. we all want restrictions listed. we want our economy, but we won't get back to the, but we've been here too many times before, isn't it the case? but once again, instead of a full control approach, we're heading for some of the payoff and confusion with so called freedom de, looming, many

a gearing up to tear them off and danced together and nightclubs. but with cases already on the rise, it seems possible that july the 19th will mean its locked down once again for the vulnerable to call it freedom day is not only really offensive to families like myself. and really, really difficult to swallow the phrase. but it also is a self freedom for everybody else because they won't get that for you. jim. all it will do is delay the inevitable, which will probably be another lockdown for a, for a long time, because the case numbers will be so high. the pandemic continues to evolve with the cova delta variance. now having spread to more than $100.00 countries around the world, this strain was 1st identified in india and is believed to be the most contagious so far. with the w h o predicting it will become the dominant variant globally in the coming months. meanwhile, here in russia, the delta strain now accounts for more than 90 percent of new cobra cases. and the country recorded another daily death toll of more than 700 people today. with more

on how health care workers are dealing with this challenge, here's anton krislofski, who returns to the red zone in the latest installment of his documentary series epidemic. the luck an empty bed, an empty bed. it's an empty space out there, a small one. so there are 1347 beds. i hoped i would never come back here again. we're at a hospital again and here again, are these dams, crops? how did the hospital start to feel up? do you remember the day when said be onion and rock of i announced another spike in cases that started when the city announced 9000 infections. when there had previously only been 3004, so we brought that on ourselves. we were monitoring that there had been 50 patients

daily and suddenly the number went up to 100 and then 200120130. and so i was, but of course the key point is that we were ready, well prepared. the worst thing is when you're not on album for him, what's the main pattern of this new strangers will come to you? firstly, it's more contagious, and 2nd, it hits way faster than the previous and now takes $1.00 to $2.00 days instead of 7 to waiting. with that, i think it's also hitting younger people. what i do, what yeah, i'm looking at patients and i recall the moments of the 1st and the 2nd week they were mainly older people. and now just look, everyone is younger than me. they didn't believe it would happen. they thought the virus had gone, but it stayed. they think everything's okay. it's a simple flu and it will end soon, but it doesn't. it wasn't day off today. and how many of those in the hospital are vaccinated? well, around 122-1000 patients. i've come

a lovely and believable young guys. i've never seen anything like this before. so literally everyone is younger than me. let me. how's it going? great. how long have you been here? well, i've been here for some 2 weeks. i guess. how did you end up here? did you have a high temperature? yes. i had a temperature. i called an ambulance. they brought me here and my condition drastically nose dived. what do you mean? well, in 2 days, how old are you? i'm 47. so we're the same age and how badly were your lungs damaged? 75 percent? $75.00. yes, i was only released from an intensive work today. did you get the vaccine for? no. why did you because i'm an idiot. how is that possible? it's available to you. why is this happening? where people not vaccinating we do look since the 90 s, there was an anti vaccination campaign at that time and those mad moms said we

won't be vaccinated against measles, chicken pulse. we won't take any vaccine. someone put that idea in their heads, that the vaccination is bad, but in fact, it saves lives and it helps vanquish the pandemic. so when do you think it will and never can damage tend to last from 3 to 5 years. i'm actually afraid of asking you who is vaccinating and non you raise your hands please. he's vaccinated . i know him. well, actually anyone who comes here is vaccinated. well is because you're a strict boss. i've been in an intensive care unit for a month, and my condition is severe. maybe the outcome would be less if i had taken a job. i wanted to get facts and i did, but i didn't find time. and now i'm in a dire condition. the me

ah, excuse the me. ah, ah, been slapped with a half a 1000000000 euro find by francis anti trust watchdog. that's after the tech giant failed to comply with the regulators orders over negotiating with local news outlets to use their content. now for more on the story we cross live to r t is peter oliver. hey there peter. so it's

a huge fine. bring us up to speed on the development. 500000000 euros. it's a big chunk of change. even if you're a company like google, who it's estimated, is made around $46000000000.00 already in the 1st quarter of 2021. this is still one of those type of finds that they will fail. it's the largest find that google has faced in france. it see the 2nd largest find the french anti trust regulators of handed out to a single company ever. the reason that they've done it is that google was told that they had to come to some kind of fer agreement with publishers when it came to using news on their platforms. they didn't do that. they pretty much ignored it as far as what we, we can take from this. and that's the reason why they've been slapped with this 500000000 euro fine. the regulators say the size of the fine they've been given

shows just how seriously they're taking it. when they are sorry to decrease an obligation for a company, it must comply scrupulously both in the spirit and leisure of the decision here. this was unfortunately not the case. the sanction of 500000000 euros takes into account the exceptional seriousness of the breach of observed google for their passive said. they're very disappointed with this decision and say that they were acting in good faith throughout which and pointed to the fact that they actually just come to an agreement with the french news agency, a f b to well use a s p stuff on their platforms. and it included a global licensing agreement. now global licensing, that is incredibly important because this isn't just a french issue. french problem with google not sole google currently a facing law suits in 37 us states over what is being called monopoly stick

leverage that they have over the google app store on the android platform. a basically that google makes a bit of money out of every bit of money that's made by anyone using that platform lawsuits in those states in the u. s. saying that's completely unfair. there's also been big issues in australia as well. where earlier this year, back in february, the australian government put in place the ruling, the well, anybody who's one of these major tech giants like google, all facebook. if they were to use any news on that platforms, they had to pay for it that caused huge problems. so facebook pulled down old news in australia from their platforms. but what it does show is that the regulates, is all looking at these huge check. these huge tech giants and google, in particular, they're being pursued around the world when it comes to just how much power they actually have. they're also being looked into just how much tax they pay in certain

territories, particularly here in the european union for work that they do with the regulators, keeping an eye on what is certainly $1.00 of the largest companies, one of the most powerful companies in the world are keys, peter oliver, thanks a lot for bringing us up to speed. now coming up, the latest bid to win whistleblower julian sanchez, freedom doctors from around the globe pen letter leading with president biden. we'll have all the details after the short break. ah, summer solutions where we focus on the solutions. not so much. the problem, stacy? right. we are joined by jeff booth author of the price of tomorrow. ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson, lation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows ah, in the moon. the welcome back to the program.

now cuban president has pointed the finger squarely at washington over protests that have gripped his country. thousands of floods of the streets of the caribbean nation over an ongoing economic crisis. that's only been exacerbated by the pandemic. the anti government movement is being called the largest in 30 years. the, the protests cap, a tough year for cuba economy is plunged 11 percent hurt by the cobra crisis and american sanctions. despite that top us politicians are reacting to the protests with hash tag as so s cuba expressing their full support for those on the streets. he was foreign minister claims. it's the u. s. government that's behind the riots and the white house will use any means available to turn cuba upside down. i believe that i call on twitter and i also call them the u. s. government to recognize or deny that political operate is actively using tags, collect,

or groups of robots. trolls who use a coordinated with automated means to fly the networks, etc, etc. and they sell for ration again. cuba rolls. if you go on twitter, you will find the hash tag as so s q in the trends, and some of the most senior us politicians among go sending out the signal saying how much they are worried. so genuinely worried is so for the cuban regime to step down and lead democracy flourish in cuba, i hope and pray for a free cuba for morality. no suffering under is unbearable communist rule. viva cuba libra s o s. cuba s. so as cuba might as well turn into cuban lives, matter, please don't blame me for trying to sound sarcastic when talking about serious hardships of an entire nation. but just think of this, it's america, that's been squeezing cuba in the clutches of its economic blockade for 6 decades

and refuse to lifted even when the pandemic kicked in. even when $184.00 un nations called on washington to do so. just for the sake of the people in the difficult times in havana, this hard line is being compared to genocide. but nope, the americans can't be bothered because the sanctions are a tool for democracy. and that probably works as a universal excuse. havana is blaming the u. s. for inciting protests, and backing them with cash. plus, it's firmly against the hypocrisy, and the voices of concern from the neighbors said bottom, why don't we are addressing revolutionaries who may have become entangled? addressing cubans who may have some concerns, but we will not allow the opponents of the revolution. mercenaries were sold out to the u. s. government sold out to the empire, receiving money from subversive agencies to provoke destabilization. like i said,

the style, the wording, the matter on the part of the us elite is hardly a surprise given the history of how they've been dealing with on wanted governments in latin america. the method that the u. s. prefers to use in latin america today is similar to what we saw take place in eastern europe after the collapse of the soviet union with the various color revolution. and we can point to the guardian, but the violent protests in venezuela led by the group that now comprises the one why do lead opposition? clearly us back trained by usa id and the national endowment for democracy in these tactics than we saw in 2018 in nicaragua. the same kind of scenario play out violent protests and blockades, leaving hundreds dead. and the people who are leading it were being sponsored by the national endowment for democracy and usa id to drop all this off. listen to one

us senator and former presidential candidate. pretty much giving instructions to the media on how to cover the tensions in cuba. give coverage to the fact that there are people in the street in cuba because they do not want to live and marxism and communism. and so them any more they want freedom. now here's a fact for you, despite the blockade. cuba was the 1st country in the whole region to successfully develop, not one but 2 covert vaccines and has managed to domestically produce and vaccinate more than a quarter of the population with at least one dose while suffering a severe shortage in supplies from abroad. this probably still isn't enough to boost the public's confidence in the government and will do nothing to ease the poverty or slash food prices. what could have help though is a bit of american mercy with the sanctions. oh no, there is no way he will touch the precious tool for democracy. meanwhile,

members of the cuban diaspora and the american city of miami have been rallying in solidarity with the compatriots, asking the american government to intervene in the nearby caribbean nation. us white house press secretary gen saki thinks the cuban government is to blame. there is every indication that yesterday's protests or reactions of the people in cuba to exhaustion of the governance of the, of the leaders in the state, the economic mismanagement and the repression that we're seeing take place against the people of the country. having spent significant time in cuba during the special period, the harsh it's period of sanctions and deprivation. i can tell you there is real suffering and there is real malays and it is brought about as a direct result of the us embargo. so it was inevitable that there would be

protests like this. we can see that people have genuine grievances, but that they are also being pulled into a regime change agenda by organizations like this and see drug movement which have clear ties to the united states government. the trump administration ended the obama administration's normalization with cuba, reimpose, brutal sanctions, not just on cuba, but on venezuela. blocking fuel shipments to cuba, the cuban government had to ration food starting in 2018. and now we have a pen demik where cuba has had to miraculously miraculously manufacture its own vaccine because of a needle shortage brought on by the u. s. blockade would return. now to our breaking news, this, our, the detention of one of our correspondence in iraq from our sister channel, our key arabic. now to get the details on that, we're go to our corresponding studio more, i guess the more ed,

thanks for joining us. so please tell us what's going on. i mean, what do we know so far? well, there's a lot of confusion at the moment. the situation is developing a lack of information. but from, from what we've heard from reports and witnesses, people that we've talked to, the office of arabic in baghdad, was rated, rated by none of them the, the service and security services responsible for fighting, organized crime. and the correspondent on station that i struck as he was, he was apparently arrested and he is being taken the convoy to non determined location, a convoy that is also made up of military vehicles, which is, which is very strange. again, a lot of questions being asked, the office itself has been couldn't golf, and the equipment there as well has been shield for now, pending perhaps an investigation. what's interesting you say, you know, security forces that are supposed to be going after criminals. can you tell us a little bit about our correspondent there?

yes. well, ashley is a veteran veteran and move with them. and i remember working with him in 201617. during the battle of muso, we were there together. it was horrendous tom. he has much more on his, you know, behind his back he went through, he could, he went through for lucia, he went through many other battles. busy throughout iraq for many years. and the thing here is he, he's been with us since 2008. and there's, there's never been any sort of questions though to a low voice. what suddenly you have on this occasion. in fact, he's interviewed a number of senior, very senior officials in the iraqi government, the prime minister from the former prime minister from 2006 to 2014 newly molig, as well as the the, the current vice president. he has a wound from the iraqi government from various prestigious media awards here that he was nominated for. so again, as i said, the situation is developing,

but there are many on on some questions for now. well, thanks a lot for bringing us those details. murat, of course, we'll bring our audience all the details as they, as the story continues to develop. thanks. well, if you'd like more details on your international new stories, you can always check out our website, r t dot com or follow us on twitter. i'll be back with more news in just about 30 minutes, so stay tuned. ah, didn't join me every thursday on the alex silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. in

the i am kaiser, this is the cause report summer solutions where we focus on the solutions. not so much. the problems, stacy right. we are joined by jeff booth author of the price of tomorrow. jeff, welcome to summer solutions. and i want to tell you that we've been discussing over the past few weeks. michael berry, the well known hedge fund manager, star, you know, the subject of the film, the big short. he recently warned of hyperinflation. and is shorting us treasury's standard in our legendary hedge fund manager, as well as warning of very high inflation and is shorting the us dollar. janet yellen, however, says there will be no hyper.
