ah ah, claims a fake test results, no checks, and no math that the euro 2020 final, the world health organization says london football showdown was devastating for effort to control the pandemic. phil prime minister boris johnson, pushing ahead with its freedom de plan for england next week with many in high risk groups and are horrified. we hear from them. companies like mind it's. it's anything freedom days it's. it's very frightening and i'm not to go. i just like the battle continues as it's highly contagious. delta, very, and takes root worldwide, including more than 90 percent of russia, new case. and we return to a corona virus clinic to see how health care workers are coping

ah, broadcasting live for moscow, russia, this is our team international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. it 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 cause a huge spike in cases. as the victorious italian team paraded their trophy through the center of rome, the enormous crowds gave little thought to colbert regulations that came just a day after tens of thousands of unmasked fans crammed together at the match in london. world health organizations 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 star coffee to delta v r and will take advantage of an vaccinated people in crowded settings, unmasked screaming, showed,

and singing devastating. the $60000.00 fans fairly a mass to be seen, lack of social distancing, no checks and claims of fate, test results. that was the scene playing out as when we stadium or starting with derek clark, who was at the game, says toby control or a joke. you didn't even need to do or fee attached because you weren't even checked for your corporate whether what to say that were just checking your phone for you and you would want to send the ticket on your phone. they will just allowing you in doesn't matter if you had a negative test. if you read the faith that the test either missing more really to the, the think you should have taken more seriously. there's no checks for call within police. and it was just

a lot of sorts of people with motor bus security measures. she should have been in police as well, but this wasn't enough security of yours to carry the checks. health care officials are warning that the final could push the u. k to a 1000000 new infections within a month. cases have already shot up to some 35000 a day, but the prime minister still scrapping england's restrictions next week. the government points to a successful inoculation program with almost 35000000 getting the shot. we will stick to our plan to live legal restrictions and to lift social distancing. again, derek clark says it's hard not to fear new spike uncovered cases. the restrictions are easy and the 19th of july, of course says when i'm looking at this final restrictions easing as well. so things are getting back to normal, but very little people waiting masks and wash nights,

especially heading towards the underground station after the game allowed amount of people, but no dual monster waiting. so it could be a rising, teach because of that. then as i mentioned, they'll have no checks for corporate heading into the good. and so that as of what that, i mean i was in the ground just 20 minutes. there was already 3 or 4 young guys of all to the boston in while the plan to free england from almost all locked down rules has terrified many, especially high risk groups in england alone. there are almost 4000000 people classed as extremely vulnerable to the virus and for them there is nothing liberating about the upcoming freedom day. calling it freedom days just to be totally ridiculous. so how many like mine it is anything but freedom day, taking away all mitigations again, 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, i must anymore. well,

it's the major pulses and protection gone. full hon. people feel quite let down and very forgotten laura, unless 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, it's very frightening man, and i may not survive if i expect. i will probably go back and see an ice lation and more shielding as i was before to protect myself. i think deformable community have been totally ignored. rarely, in the whole of this, the original plan of shielding. it should only ever be in

a temporary mattea whilst they put safe mitigations in place and brought the case numbers down. because the government refused to do that. you know, this does no change for us in 16 months, nothing has changed to make the world a safer place. since the start of the pandemic around 6 and 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 that you pay to be being taken away, which is face masks, and distancing. and that to 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 apartment 5 month old, 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 once our economy. we won't get back to the, but we've been here too many times before, isn't the case, but once again,

instead of a capital control approach, we're heading for a sum of payoff confusion with so called freedom de looming, many a gearing up to tear them off and danced together in nightclubs, but with cases already on the rise, it seems possible that july, the 19th will mean it's 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 miss will be so high from the virus continues to evolve with a delta variant. now in more than $100.00 countries, strain was 1st identified in india and is believed to be the most contagious yet. world health organization predicts it will be the dominant variant globally within

months. in here in russia, the strain already accounts for more than 90 percent of new infections. and as the, the strain can continues to spread, russia has set another daily cova death death toll record with $780.00 fatalities registered in the last 24 hours. more on how health care workers are dealing with this challenge. here's anton krislofski returns to the red zone in the latest installment of his documentary series epidemic. with luck, an empty bed, an empty bed. it's an empty space out there, a small one. so tara 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 fill up?

do you remember the day when said banyon and rock of announced another spike in cases that started when the city announced 9000 infections when there had previously only been 3000 suffice. if 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 210120130 so on. but of course, the key point is that we were ready. well prepared, the worst thing is when you're not found out for him, what's the main pattern of this new strain? even though you're looking for the computer? well 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 wait with that. and 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 waif. 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 he stayed. they think everything's okay. it's a simple flu and it will end soon, but it doesn't. it was and day after day. and how many of those in the hospital are vaccinated? well, around 122-1000 patients. i'm a lovely and believable. all 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 where your lungs damaged? 75 percent? $75.00. yes, i was only released from an intensive care ward today. did you get the vaccine?

nope. why do? because i'm an idiot. how is that possible? it's available to you. why is this happening? where people not vaccinating? look since the ninety's there was an anti vaccination campaign at that time and those mad mums said we won't be vaccinated against measles, chicken pox. 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 will time 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, it's because you're a trig 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 fax unaided, but i didn't find time. and now i'm in a dire condition. the me, ah, excuse me, the me. ah, ah, ah,

you miss president has pointed the finger squarely ad washington over the protests that have gripped his country. thousands have flooded the streets of the caribbean nation over an economic crisis exacerbated by the pandemic. the anti government movement is being called the biggest in 30 years. the, the protests cap, a tough year for cuba economy has plunged 11 percent made worse by american sanctions. despite that top us politicians are reacting to the protests with hash tag and so as cuba expressing their full support for those on the streets, he was foreign minister says that the u. s. government behind the riots and that the white house and the, and the white house will use any means available to turn cuba upside down. so that's what i call on twitter. and i also call them the u. s. government to recognise or deny that political operators actively use tags collectives or groups

of robots troll. so i use a coordinated with automated means to flood the networks, etc, etc. in this operation against cuba rolls. if you go on twitter, you'll 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, you know, stuff for an under is unbearable communist rule. viva cuba libra, as so as cuba and 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, you a nation 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. we are addressing revolutionary to may have become entangled. addressing cubans who may have some concerns, but we will not allow the opponents of the revolution mercenaries who have 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 one to 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 buzz the violent protests in venezuela led by a new 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 car newsom and socialism 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 to colbert 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 it's a bit of american mercy with the sanctions. oh no, there is no way he will touch the precious tool for democracy in while members of

the cuban diaspora across the straits of florida, i, in the city of miami, have rallied in solidarity demanding, washington, intervene, us white house press secretary gen saki blamed the cuban government for that escalation there's 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 harshest 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 u. s. 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 dro movement which have clear ties to the united states government. the trump administration ended the obama administration 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 pandemic where cuba has had to miraculous miraculously manufacture its own vaccine because of a needle shortage brought on by the u. s. blockade. coming up, the latest bid to win whistleblower julian sanchez, freedom doctors from around the globe hadn't letter pleading with president biden. we'll have all the details after the short break. ah,

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the the whatever the

ah. welcome back to the program. now a corresponded from our sister channel archie arabic has been detained by iraqi security forces. ashe drive, as always, has been sending reports from iraq for r. t, for 13 years, is covered major u. s. military operations in the region, including the most, all offensive, as well as interviewed top lawmakers. he's been posting reports through information provider news time as r t does not have an office in that country and of course will bring you all the updates as they become available on this developing story. or the 250 doctors from dozens of countries have signed an open letter to president biden,

calling for the release of wiki leeks, founder julian sanchez. they note that he's been subjected to psychological torture for more than a decade. we spoke to one of those signatories, professor william hogan. i think they're treating him like a terrorist. i got him a doctor's just a little. busy busy out of my area of expertise, but this is how they've treated other terror suspects. he is at risk for suicide bombers prison. he's suffering still experiencing mental turmoil, hallucinations, including auditory hallucinations, some of which are persecuted, tory, these are some of the most severe signs of mental illness and mental stress. all the effects will ever be back to normal to what he was like before entering the ecuadorian. i'm the see is i think that's unlikely. sadly, last week,

britain's high court granted the us the right to appeal after a sanchez extradition was denied. earlier this year. the whistleblower faces multiple espionage charges state side which could land him a 175 years behind bars. he will remain at london spell marsh prison while the appeals process plays out. professor william hogan again says public feeling can't be ignored. i think that it's starting to have more and more effect. i think there's growing calls, i think there's growing. busy awareness we've seen the recent developments with greek italian u. k. ready australia, m p 's, writing letters to their various governments in the u. s. government asking biden. and his attorney general garland to drop the prosecution. so i think momentum is building, i think, to please. yes, they've been pretty much ignored thus far,

but i think we're having an influence. google's been slapped with a half a 1000000000 euro fine. by frances anti trust watchdog. that's after the tech giant failed to comply with, the regulators orders over to go shading with local news outlets to use their content. and this is just one of the latest problems in a series that google has been struggling with at the moment. with all the details, here's our teams. peter oliver, 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 fair agreement with publishes 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 find. the regulators say the size of the fine they've been given shows just how seriously they're taking it. when the authority 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 has observed google for their part of 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'd 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 at all google. currently, a facing law seats in 37 u. s. 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 us saying that's completely unfair. there's also been big issues in australia as well. well, earlier this year, back in february, the australian government put in place a ruling. 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 costs 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 the huge tech giants and google, in particular, that 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 one of the largest companies, one of the most powerful companies in the world well that's it for this hour. you can check out more details in your world news stories on our website r t dot com or by following us on twitter or any other social media platform that you like. i'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes. so say you then me. i
