you don't hear about positive studies, which are beautifully done in france, in spain, italy, south korea. that answer a lot of the questions and you have a lot of the poorly done studies if they are done at all and in this case the lancet article is clearly just a completely fraudulent database. when you have dr. horton and dr. ruben the editors of the lancet respectively who are pulling a rosenstein in saying i didn't know. i never read it. the play published it with the verb in the should consider resigning from their positions. we need to have a wholesale look. if you wonder what else is wrong with thesek journals. this is what we discovered. >> laura: dr. smith, the problem here i think is that the media, like it, you guys are sophisticated medical thinkers and were lazy. if the people here are like oh, my god, i'll never take this i'm e going to have a heart attack n the first pill all take. so people were afraid to, dr. smith, and you are coming on show week after week and come on the show 15 times at least. you explained very methodically when you prescribed it, how you prescribed

now how crucial will these cash infusions be for spain and for italy we're getting reports from spain for example that welfare recipients there are not getting their cash payments they become dependent on charities for food. well fast assistance is absolutely crucial but although i'm going to mark or cross her own bread line allowing for debt to free up funds to flow into these countries that's exactly what she wants to rule out that this would simply go into national budgets and be spent on handouts what that debt finances since will eventually be about she insists but still debates are to be started even in brussels is into future investments to prevent the vulnerability of societies of economies for pandemics or any crises in the future and that's the starting point for what we expect to be months of wrangling over how to divide that big cake of the e.u. budget over the coming years michaud we're going to be some of the other challenges for the german presidency. well i'm going to pretty much mocked out what she wants to see that green deal working towards climate more climate frie

asa we are all united in this because when you look at the gdp of spain and italy, 12-15% of that look this money. -- recouping money. british people love to travel and spend money abroad and it is bizarre because while we are bringing in this travel quarantine which could cost us by some estimates £650 million per week it is in place, it is quite telling and surprising and interesting that they want to discuss opening the borders, wetting the british come and visit. asa that is assuming that people will be able to afford to go because the furlough schemes are in place until october i think, the figures that have come out have not cause quite as much as an end originally been anticipated. but there will be so much job uncertainty for people who will be wanting to take perhaps their family on holiday but not sure about their financial future. and at the same time you can imagine trying to pack a full plane full of people, it will bea a full plane full of people, it will be a nightmare how they try to deal with the seats, the social distancing, do they find the planes half full? i think

but also in europe in germany france belgium spain italy and and in that regard i feel like there's a readiness to have open conversations about it and for example such a set would i don't think it would have been think of all 567 years ago. and so that's what i'm hopeful yes and hope hope is different from up to ms and it means that i i have hope that things will evolve in the right direction it doesn't mean that there are concrete and material science that show me that it's the case currently but what i see is that the fact that. in the mainstream we're speaking about structural systemic racism that we are speaking about police brutality and also putting in question the legitimacy of an institution like the police is giving me hope ok well tell me this your organization we just have the name of the organization the center for intersection of justice and its aims to combat all forms of unequal. see and do still screaming nations in europe the question is how so how i mean we have a strategy that is very holistic and we don't tackle the problem for just one angle 1st of all from multi

so there is this real push to have these air bridges where people could fly say to portugal, spain, italyy back again without having to go into isolation and the airlines want an a nswer isolation and the airlines want an answer on this quickly because they need to prepare their summer schedules, but it's by no means guaranteed that it will happen. if it does though, it opens up the prospect that people could possibly go on holiday abroad this summer. all right, you, theo leggett. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, has said the uk and brussels are still a "long way" from agreeing their future relationship. speaking after the latest round of talks, mr barnier said a new deal must be agreed by october, but warned it was essential for britain to stick to agreements it made when it left the eu. we cannot and we will not accept this backtracking on the political declaration, and at the same time we will request the full respect of the withdrawal agreement. the uk's chief negotiator, david frost, admitted progress in the talks had been limited, but said the tone was positive. 0ur realit

what they have done in spain, italy and new zealand is to say there is a flexibility full sun sectorsme going on for a few months. that makes sense because once the fellow has gone bust and someone has lost theirjob, it is that much harder to get the economy going. but when would you call or would you anticipate that we might had the fellow scheme going for yea rs might had the fellow scheme going for years and some sectorsno, i don't think it will be four years, but it will be a bit longer. hospitality will be able to come back, but it will only be supported. some sectors can come back, they will be more successful and get back to normal, others will struggle. naked flexible and see that as an investment for the economy coming back properly in the future. —— it flexible. if that doesn't happen and most people can see we are looking ata most people can see we are looking at a significant increase in unemployment. what kind of levels of unemployment. what kind of levels of unemployment do you think? looking at the figures, i fear 2 million plus, possibly 3 million. they are the figures

is also expected to establish so-called air bridges with france italy spain germany and greece and that would mean quarantine free holidays for travelers to and from those countries but the u.s. portugal and south america expected to be among those in the red the u.k. is self isolation policy came into effect on june 8th and has been criticized by airlines airports and the hospitality sector paul brennan has more from kingston and southwest london. i have to say the people that we've spoken to here in kingston in south west london are rather of the opinion that it's a bit too late for this year now the fear of infection ongoing infection the news that we've heard from america for example. just the hassle that there has been and the uncertainty about trying to book a holiday until now has left many people writing off this summer and looking ahead more to next year for their summer holidays rather than try and chances are that said with the knowledge that the announcement from the government that on wednesday they'll be a bill for the relaxation 'd of the current 14 day quarantine system

years in the other one is the recovery funded and these are fundamental ingredients, notjust for spain or italyntal ingredients for austria, the netherlands, denmark or sweden, because what is at stake here is the solidity of the european union and this is the market that belongs to all the europeans and this is the market that we need to leverage to have a rapid exit from the crisis. we understand that you and madrid are eager to make this happen because you will benefit from it. this is a backdoor plan. this would keep the rich north of the eu be able to avoid new borrowings to get yourselves out of the mess that you're currently and in the northern nations do not want to do it. that is the reality. i will question that assertion because it is not as if the beneficiaries of this recovery fund in eu budget would only be spain, france or italy or greece. for every euro that is invested in the european union, it gets double the benefit in the internal market than a spaniard or an italian. we should be doing the right account. we should be running the right account. we should be explaining to our

in spain, italy and germany, new cases are at least 94% below peak. in the u.s., we have only seen a 42% reduction. we are increasingly acclimating to this plateau and just accepting a world that no one else has accepted, where we still see about 20,000 new cases per day. to be clear, a fair amount of that has to do with the fact that the u.s. has ramped up testing capacity in this country. it's gone up quite a bit. it's still uneven, but i got tested this week, it was fast and easy. you should definitely do it if you have had any exposure. but increased testing doesn't explain all of these case. and the government is trying to make excuses. >> our testing is so far advanced, it's so much bigger and better than any other country, that we're going to have more cases. we're always going to have more cases. as i said this morning, that's probably the down side of having good testing is you find a lot of cases that other countries who don't even test don't have. if you don't test, you don't have any cases. if we stopped testing right now, we would have ve

declared us a risk area but open borders to hundreds that are in a much worse situation than spain or italy for example they have more coronavirus cases than turkey and a higher coronavirus death toll a lot of it it's a situation. many share food and frustration and tell us historic old town is normally filled with tourist watering facilities but now the sellers fight boredom the restaurant owners and taxi drivers are wondering how long they can keep going. to be attributed we only have a go out of our taxis on the streets with no hotel gas so no taxi rides will surely it doesn't work without forwarding tourists turkish holiday makers aren't enough of these years ago that's all oh preparations for this summer with a nothing 2020 is the last year. the last year maybe last season he made good money with his hotel mostafa good and says and east. still hopeful but he also knows if the tourists from europe don't come back soon the holiday paradise of them taeyang faces a devastating famine. our returning top top story that's currently developing in the united kingdom where a major incident in th

has pulled out of talks with france britain spain and italy into the green tax rules on digital companies the u.s. says instead it wants digital tarts to be part of broader talks organized by the organization for economic cooperation and development the o.e.c.d. france is a pioneer when it comes to the digital services tax and the main driver behind finding an international agreement it's outraged about the u.s. withdrawal. it's a provocation against all the partners at the elysee a day we were just centimeters away from a deal on the taxation of digital giants and this is a time when the digital sector is the only sector in the world to profit hugely from the coronavirus crisis such it's also a provocation against everyone in the world who believes that it is perfectly legitimate for big tech to pay its taxes they look something the u.s. cites a lack of progress in the talks together with the pandemic as being behind this decision however it's already showed limited enthusiasm about the tax which will mainly affect u.s. companies like google amazon and facebook on thursday the e.u. and m

france, italy, spain and greece are likely to be among the first destinations for these ‘air bridges'o other member states. we'll be hearing from the travel industry injust a moment. but first, hugh schofield reports from brittany in north western france, where the holiday season is already under way, largely without foreign tourists. the ferry from this island brings back its cargo of trippers. it is busy and getting busier but what is clear as there are virtually no foreigners here. these tourists are all french. normally mid june other europeans are beginning to arrive. at the marina, half the yachts should be british. this year, none. but despite the absence, eve ryo ne but despite the absence, everyone agrees that season ahead still looks good. translation: after two months of confinement and after that people felt this rush to get outside and breathe some air. that is why we have seen so many people here on the weekend and the season is off to a really good start. of course, the perfect weather helps. hard not to be hopeful when the world looks like this. what strikes one is how

that's why we want to make sure the countries that have been hit hard by the coronavirus like italy and spain will be helped to recover quickly from the crisis that's not only good for those countries and europe it's also good for germany. where it's all good for georgia not the most if you know much financial assistance from germany has surprised many countries in europe is this a new germany. i mean yeah. of course if i'm told you know we have a huge responsibility in europe we've decided to make a contribution to reigning in the conflicts that we've seen between north and south . the. we want to find a solution to that and we've made a proposal with france and i believe it will be the basis for consensus within the european union and i need. your one. and that's the direction we want to go in during our presidency survive thank you for i mean you know that you're at least to be able to depend on the united states that seems to have changed since the u.s. announced it was pulling troops out of germany 14 expect now from donald trump before the u.s. elections by congress or by a car of. the

you've got belgium, uk, spain, italy, sweden, france, all worse than the u.s. but that doesn't fit the blame trump for everything narrative so the media will rarely bring it up and it's so outrageous. lisa you been on this from the start. the way they endlessly talk about cases. you see it now, the way the media has behaved is so irresponsible. i can barely contain myself. i'm in a handed over to you. >> i always ask myself with all of this, how would the media be covering it if president obama was in office and that president trump because the media is really sensationalized the coronavirus pandemic. they really lead with fear -based coverage as opposed to fact-based coverage. we also know if you look at the illogical studies that were previously done, we've known that we been mixing a significant portion of asymptomatic and mild cases so it makes sense that the more testing were doing that we will start capturing more of those cases that we were previously missing. i also reached out to doctor scott atlas of the hoover institution has been one of the salient
