Congress. Father thanks so much for joining us youre watching r. T. Now it is not just people that are self isolating the world over because of covert 19 countries as a whole russia has become the latest to close its borders to foreigners joining the likes of canada the us and others European Union is also restricted access to the block. 2 limits to support of the various good will we agreed to enforce external borders both close coordinates temporary wish to action of essential travel to the e. U. Or so to do this france meanwhile has put the entire country of 67000000 people on lockdown army trucks have been seen in the streets of paris numbers of Police Officers have been deployed to ensure compliance on the show the dubious give reports on the nationwide quarantine presence is now what. Looked out to break the lock down that would be in school the government is talked about deploying 100000. 00 Police Officers to set up fixed points to check people who are in their vehicles the word from the government to everybody in france is to self isolate president mark was was incredibly clear when he came to the president ial address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through over and over is the problem is that. We are at war war to be sure we are not fighting another army knew another nation but the enemies that invisible and elusive that decision came after the french took the calls to stay at home and self isolate too likely in fact while bars and restaurants were being closed all around them and many here in paris came out to the parks to picnic to meet their friends all to sit by the same and do the same but no more. The government has announced new measures to limit new infections by limiting contact between people as much as possible to amplify the impact of this measures paris parks and gardens will be closed. Restriction these are really centered around self isolation so people have been told that they can leave their homes but for very specific reasons that could be to go for a medical appointment it could be to top up on Food Supplies or it could be to go for a walk for Health Reasons anybody leaving their property has also been told that they need to have one of the existing practice tests or just state why maybe even their home for some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool flouting that law or court going out for a walk just socialize with their friends rather than for Health Reasons could face a fine of up to 135 years. The message is clear stay at home these are containment measures similar to those in spain and italy all persons travelling must be able to justify their movements each person will have to carry a document certifying the reason of his or her journey. Was another casualty of the new stricter regime is the 2nd round the ring is a collection which will now be postponed but many had already criticize the government for allowing the 1st round to take place while sproles was a partial lockdown. The makris are pushing the limits you do not say to 67000000 french people stay at home for an indefinite period on saturday evening but then on sunday morning leave your house and put your health and those of others in danger if the Health Situation got this bad losing thursday in today to the point of closing almost all businesses in makes no sense to hold these municipal elections they must be postponed because they cannot be held fairly. Holding the municipal elections is completely incomprehensible and contradicts the measures nons by the Prime Minister i hope that the government will take responsibility and change its mind as the lockdown began and many played to the city possibly going to pay her to stay friends and family anything to be isolated to give this time but merge it see here in france this idea of self isolation is something that many people fear many people who live below the idea of not having that social contact face to face for a 15 day period is something that they dreading in fact Something Else that they dreading is the fact that the government has said its a 15 day minimum and that these could be extended so they need people here try to just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal charlotte people ski artsy in paris during the lockdown. Literally remains one of the worst hit countries by coronavirus with healthcare workers saying that they cope with the influx of patients and complained of exhaustion from overwork he spoke with a nurse in the city of chancer in one of italys worst affected areas. And which is really on a computer so i have been talking standing just on magic and if i could join up is out. There so we could. Enjoy going out i could be interested i thought annoyed with the pretty or do or scam will be even going to see whats in it just the sound different just like a. Little to be in among a large amount.

Down 2 percent of them are near 10 percent of the saw and it would have been for. The same piece. Of the regional director for europe at the World Health Organization has urged nations to take a bolder approach when it comes to tackling the coronavirus he said that china had set the example in that respect. The experience of china and show that this thing. Called bind if so should be distancing measures and. When put in place quickly and effectively but events in fictions and see lights the spread of the virus in china has been slowed significantly registering only 13 new cases on tuesday lifes returning to normal in previously hard hit regions local lock downs are being partially lifted and Domestic Travel is starting to resume john as antivirus measures which were widely criticized initially and now being adopted globally little quarter explains. Remember when only china had to deal with the coronavirus the west had plenty to criticize about beijings handling of the crisis back then when europe and the us didnt have to get their hands dirty. Measures should also be implemented with consideration to the publics willingness to comply with government control efforts now that the critics are in the same situation that china was in just a month ago it seems like they werent creative enough to come up with their own solutions after the coronavirus ravaged europe governments across the continent started in forcing lockdowns people confined to their homes streets virtually empty just like in china at the height of the outbreak the. Gatherings family get togethers and social functions will no longer be finished working to meet friends in the park or on the streets will no longer be possible any elderly daredevils that venture out of their homes could face hefty fines or even a police baton and all the while militaries across the continent are mobilizing in switzerland its the biggest since world war 2 and in france army convoys are becoming a regular sight in the suburbs. Michael vaughan. Although its not like they have many places to go the entire European Unions closed its borders anyway and on top of that theyll be under the watchful eye of those dystopian Police Drones just like the chinese ones that frightened more than a few in the western media the country taking some extraordinary measures to contain this Outbreak Police are using drones equipped with a public address system to tell people to wear face masks and stay indoors to stop the spread of coronavirus and drones are flying up to people in public and yelling at them for not Wearing Masks in fact were hearing of mask shortages drones soldiers lockdowns whatever communist china does it the western media loves to call it all off thora tarion ism but what even makes these measures democratic or not at a time of crisis shouldnt people be focusing on which measures are the most effective. We discuss the situation with journalist and commentator Chadwick Moore and monks abrams assistant professor of Public Policy at Northeastern University in the us. Joel crowe sees time to strengthen the hand of the executive were seeing a tremendous increase right now in the federal government power in the United States so there isnt theres even some talk of you know about martial law curfews i think its terrifying i think its really disturbing and its you know there are some constitutional scholars out there that are that debate whether how constitutional is i think its its shocking how easily americans will give up their liberty but that said the u. S. Is a democracy in china is an authoritarian country but in general in terms of the continuum between democracy human and government in the for carrying us of a u. S. Government is moving more in the direction of china while still trying to maintain some of our time accredit norms i think that that max is absolutely correct that were seeing just how swiftly the state can expand out how it can come in and become more authoritarian and you know in new york city right now its a ghost town here and it and you know the mayor wants to quarantine the entire city the governor wont let him know wheres the wheres the dip coming from its coming from the hysteria that anik i mean weve got every restaurant and bar and Retail Store Closing our biggest cities where i disagree with my colleague is that i actually do you view this threat as extraordinarily severe and and not just scary. But consequential given the nature of the threat it is reasonable for the government to intervene in reasonable ways to try to mitigate that threat particularly by enforcing social distancing so that we dont infect each other needlessly theres an insane amount of panic out there being driven by the media and meanwhile when you listen to the experts when you actually listen to them and you listen to the crowd of iras task force that theyre very calm theyre not freaking out and theyre giving Pretty Simple basic instructions to people. With other more countries imposing strict quarantine rules millions of people have found themselves spending more time than usual at home its a prospect not everybody relishes. Some stuck at home theyre all wasting time on the spanish couple extending his marriage vows across windows the government imposing a state of emergency on their wedding day they didnt cancel the event on the bride even threw her bouquet as tradition demands decency taylor says other tips on how to survive the ordeal. Dia diary the last 2 weeks have been a bit surreal its like were living in some kind of weird parallel unify us people have returned to that animal instincts now nothing will come between a man and his new paper. Coronaviruses cleared the streets and driven us into our homes im not going to lie my main concern was about getting out in the time of corona i mean i know i have to go running in the park like i promised myself im the only thing im losing at the gym is money but still luckily though there are some fitness fanatics out there who are making sure we all keep moving in these claustrophobic times. But if the idea of exercising in public is your wost nightmare no fear. Also this is a powerful time to combine getting to know your neighbor youve been avoiding for years with a hot healthy pursuit. Ive also realized it will give me the opportunity to finally perfect my organizational skills. They do say you should have one task every day to keep you motivated also i do always think i have the potential to be an invaluable member of the quad but you know what the multitude wildes like Hari Hari Hari no time for anything now though there are no excuses. See the. End of her soon 6 to move. Who said quarantine could be fun also for the last studious among you lot of those hacks trick your teacher online and get out of 5 plus only for the more adventurous among you i wonder what a toilet seat tastes like yeah me neither. Apparently she thinks coronavirus is for poor people tom hanks rude monch speaking of the elite if you will mock it and dont want to suffer the humiliation of standing in a queue with hundreds of new roles and youll try piled up dont worry because ive got you covered this elite ready to go package includes night vision goggles and purify and some with satellite messenger and it will only cost you 5000. 00 such a snatch as a bonus to make you look like the potential that you are. I want met though there are some downsides to this whole self isolation thing like those tourist who went to spain in search of some rays only to be put in quarantine and realize the sun never actually hit that balkany i am slightly disappointed that my skin will be taking water a fan pyrrhic tone in the coming months but better than risk if that 1000 very high but really on balance its not so bad all those times ive wanted to cancel on my friends but struggled to come up with a convincing reason no longer an issue my dislike of standing in places of more than 50 people at a time literally banned ive also was hated when people didnt respect my personal space now they literally have to stand a meter away from me and i dont worry i havent forgotten the most important thing i know were all in lockdown i know we all think our houses are safe from the plague but washing your hands is a must. If the hamster can do it so can you. With the world distracted by pandemic u. S. Lawmakers are hoping to push through a controversial law that some say would end privacy online critics will the u. S. Government is trying to unlock greater surveillance powers in the guise of fighting the spread of online child abuse imagery clearly more than explains. Now if you follow the goings on in the u. S. Congress youll know that they often take advantage of moments when big news is happening to slip through controversial legislation and the coronavirus has given them a big ideal opportunity they call it the earn it bill that stands for eliminating abusive rampant neglect of interactive technologies Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal have introduced it saying that the aim is to protect children from online sexual predators technical systems available to have been dream come true for cho predators for every good thing this happen with the internet for lack of a better term there are dark forces that need to be dealt with now certainly a noble goal no one wants kids to be in danger but this bill could also crack down on end to end encrypt eliminating the ability of americans to protect Sensitive Data from hackers criminals the government or their employers essentially the bill holds Internet Service providers accountable for any information that gets posted by users whether they know about it or not our bill would allow individuals to see you Tech Companies that dont take proper steps to prevent online china exploitation and its an important step to protect the most vulnerable among us however under this law the only way that Internet Companies cannot be held liable for what users write in private messages is if they fully comply with government standards standards written by an unelected commission now one of the bills cosponsors made very clear where he stands on encryption so facebook is talking about in encryption which means they go blind. Were not going to go blind and let this abuse go forward in the name of any other freedom sure hyper encryption can be used by criminals sexual predators and terrorists but its also a protection that americans have against government surveillance voices from across the spectrum from Edward Snowden to the head of whatsapp are outraged the government is attempting to exploit Tech Companies to pass a law that intentionally undermines Digital Security and sense of speech that such a low res being considered by congress is a National Disgrace absent clear protections for encryption urn it has the potential to make people less safe not more by reducing the security of the over 2000000000 people who use whatsapp to communicate not to mention all the other encrypted services as well the bill deals with a very serious issue of Child Exploitation on line but it offers no Meaningful Solutions rather the bills authors have shrewdly use defendant children as the pretense for intact in our free speech and security online now the bill is yet to become law but in a situation like this with one big story dominating the headlines will people even notice if it does it will blow up and artsy new york. Just cofounder of the saif Encryption Software think that because the using the coronavirus destruction to pull off a power grab i think that the government wants to let any good crisis go to waste so i definitely do think theyre trying to take advantage of the fact that people arent paying as much attention right now and theyre distracted by the pandemic and the panic that comes with that and trying to push this through and just say its a no brainer because it helps children i mean it particularly matters for encrypted because there would be no way d d to. In fact these best practices that doesnt undermine what and 10th encryption does in order to be able to say scam content for abusive material the content would have to exist as plain text somewhere and even if you trust big Tech Companies and the government not to infringe on your privacy they are not to do anything bad with it that also exposes that information potentially to hackers so stablish is some pretty broad powers and gives them to the government for regulating Tech Companies and how we do things online this bill might be carved out specifically more for trying to combat Child Exploitation but once that precedent established the government would likely reach for more and try to apply it to other crimes as well or people in other situations. And privacy concerns are also being raised in israel which is decided to track people with the coronavirus using the mobile phone data on these middle east correspondent poulos li has details. Israel is fighting corona virus with a little digital help the government has approved a new emergency measure of tracking mobile phones in order to contain the spread of the virus israel is a democracy and we must maintain the balance between civil rights and the publics needs these tools will very much assist us in locating the sick and stopping the virus from spreading the idea is to use that year location data from peoples cell phones to track whos been in contact with you know the guy was areas and to send him Text Messages to alert them to the problem and to get them also to self isolate here is it is a measure that all parties normally use for tracking extremists and terrorists it wasnt so long ago that people were asking the same question should we hand over our privacy for a greater good civil rights activists in israel warned it is a slippery slope its a dangerous precedent and the slippery slope that must be approached unresolved of the much debate and not after a brief discussion even in crises of this nature the core of civil rights in a democracy must be preserved i understand that infection in contagion and the spread of the virus must be prevented but its inconceivable that because of the panic so right should be trampled without restraint thats a totally disproportionate to the threat of the problem the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is still fighting for power claims that this tool is more effective than isolating the whole country this is an effective tool to locate the virus and isolated it instead of isolating an entire country israel is not to meet it is joy in china me ran in this population trekking journey and its no secret that our cell phones contain more information about ourselves than even we know of course its information that can be used for both good and evil which is why everyones fighting to excess said the question remains are you willing to give up your publicity to contain the virus and will the authorities stop it or tracking once the pandemic is over im afraid. After this one time that they had the government for. 4 days. It would be. Slipping away to using it again in august 2nd stan says which im not sure. I will agree with. Much i say that everything needs to be done to stop the disease the shows that netanyahu makes every evening at 8 oclock in the news is because of his legal situation one is not really important because the other didnt know about everything yeah im in favor of following corona patients by phone so that we dont all get sick with it and then the surveillance on the phones will stop i think in any case everything you write on google and facebook and you pass on a card everyone knows your information today so its no problem to follow you it prevents infection you would see about. Political analysts to me or thinks the lack of public trust in netanyahu will make it difficult for the government to implement any containment plan for the virus. These really probably in this particular crisis would prefer health and prevention of contagion epidemics over almost anything but this is not the issue for the israeli public but on your government it has lost its credibility and therefore is suspect in its handling of this crisis served hes also a defendant in a criminal trial because he has been indicted for bribery and other offenses so whenever he says something he is suspect of trying to play for rezone personal or political advantage. Footage has emerged online showing an australian soldiers shooting dead an unarmed afghan man at close range. Stop. I am deeply disturbed by what has been eroding tonights 4 corners report we are serious allegations are raised australians would rightly expect their 3rd league samant video was obtained by australian 4 corners t.

Theres no doubt that this is a demonstration of work rights theres no doubt about that whatsoever the Australian Military again is is involved in a criminal cover up the fact that theyre shooting people while theyre lying still on the ground and they recognise that a camera maybe chaps shereen these were trains and they do it anyway shows how absolutely routine killings like this are in the field they are gauged in routine i believe routine out war crimes and crimes against humanity and they know that their bosses their superiors in the chain of command are perfectly ok with it they appear to still be ok with it even though the video completely contradicts the assertion if this was in selfdefense.
