And very good morning to you from our team here in moscow this is r. T. International bringing you all the days top stories from around the world but 1st dominating headlines protests over the death of george floyd while being detained by Minneapolis Police have raged for a 3rd night late on thursday night a local Police Station was set on fire. Because. The police say protesters forced their way into the building and set it on fire personnel had been evacuated before the city of minneapolis account on social media says there are unconfirmed reports of gas lines leading to the building have been cut advise people to leave the area the protests calling for justice for george floyd have spread from minneapolis to other cities. Thanks. Rick. I am distracting. The work of. The officer kept his knee there for almost 10 minutes until floyd stopped responding on the day of the Incident Police said he much the description of a suspect in a forgery case at a local Grocery Store and that he resisted arrest. Of the 4 officers involved have been fired the one who was pinning floyd to the floor has been identified as Derrick Chauvin he was previously investigated over another death a Fatal Shooting in 2006 as well as though over other shooting incidents in 20082011 another policeman identified on the video toto reportedly being sued in the past over excessive use of force activist Michelle Gross told us the police think they can act with impunity. Is essential that these that these officers face murder charges you know and sack them that not just today face murder charges but they should be arrested right now one of the reasons that people the community are so upset is this officers are still running the streets and these are dangerous man and theyre running the streets and they havent been arrested and if any of us and the videotape monitoring the man we will all be in the jail waiting for our trials were not going to be able to calm the community down at all until we see that these officers are arrested these officers really have a sense of you know impunity that theres nothing going you know that they will face no consequences for their conduct and thats kind of their usual feeling is they have a sense of impunity he literally was smiling for the camera as he was need mr floyd in the next you respect me smiling for the camera knowing that people are recording him he had no problem with that because he was more than certain that he was going to get away with it because thats the history in minneapolis. The french government has announced the 2nd phase of relaxing is locked down will start at the beginning of june in the 3 weeks after the 1st easing of the quarantine the situation across the country continues to improve according to 2 Health Officials there are far fewer seriously ill patients in intensive care as west live in paris now shall i get to see you i want changes are expected in france. Well the french Prime Minister 1st of all talked about positive signs here in france as he outlined what will be phase 2 of the de confinement period in the country. For sure in this 2nd and i want to him. Freedom will finally become the rule the ban will be the exception. So what will change in the phase 2 will 1st of all the 100 kilometer or around 60 mile limit for people traveling from their home is going to be scrapped meaning that people will be able to travel freely within france however as a result of that could be 19 pandemic the borders with other European Countries will still remain closed we also know that restaurants and bars and parks will be opening across the country and we know that cultural and sporting events will start to return progressively to museums and theaters will be reopening from next week and then by the end of june sporting events might be a hold and we know that that is something that will happen fairly uniformly but not totally here in paris there are some other things going on but ill talk about that in a moment it is not told to leave back to normal here in france so groups of more than 10 people will no longer still be able to meet if theyre in a public space in a. Private space thats a different room entirely and as i mentioned the measure is not exactly the same here in paris bars and cafes wont be able to open in the same way that they can open in the rest of the country thats because paris is now whats considered an orange i mean the big 19 virus is still circulating at a higher rate than the rest of the country so instead. Cafes and restaurants have outside terraces will be able to serve their customers the government will also be launching its stop 19 ah this is a controversial app for mobile telephones that was approved by parliament ariens this week but some of suggested its use could be a step closer to full on surveillance in france however the application will not be mandatory. But. We have wanted to provide the french people would need additional tools if the mobile apps dont. Stop kovi it is not a magic weapon against the pandemic but its an additional tool which enables us to fight against it almost to fight against even more flexibly in the near future. Where the Prime Minister also warned about the economy describing it is pretty dire and thats because we know france is facing a red called a recession that was a grim picture that was really nailed to the post when the unemployment figures were released this year the highest since 1996 so a record high in current levels some 4500000 people out of work here in france so it seems that france may be emerging from its lockdown chrysalis but is far from able to fly yet. Charlie thank you for those details that authorities are speaking to us live from paris. And a move to defend to be his countrys Health Care System the italian ambassador to sweden has criticized the nordic countries state epidemiologist for saying stockholm should have done better than italy. We had really thought that in a modern wealthy society in sweden we should be able to protect our elderly we thought it didnt need to be like china and perhaps even italy where they have less resources for this but that we shouldnt this is sign to be able to manage this better the challenge of good 19 is not a Football Game nor the losing turns in the stone soup of the victory of the team it is a common generational challenge to guarantee everyones help from. The start of the pandemic sweden has chosen not to impose Strict Lockdown measures shops restaurants bars and schools have remained open while south faisel asian and social distancing are encouraged but not enforced so far among nordic states that sweden has been hit the hardest in terms of death per 1000000 meanwhile travel bans across europe are set to ease by some of those tweets may end up being excluded from the socalled Northern European travel bubble swedens neighbors all declared Strict Lockdown measures in march and are concerned about reopening their borders to tweens. I certainly do not believe that it is the case that one should wait to open the border to germany until just consider just a fireball to open the border to sweden if it is not safe to open the border to sweden let the swedes stay out but let the germans come. Norway denmark and i seem to have managed to stabilize the situation in sweden the situation is more worrying. Or no way will allow business travelers from other nordic countries including sweden to enter from june 1st the inclusion of swedes have locals worried. When you think about how sweden the whole situation is kind of. Kind of fair in my opinion to at least keep it close for some time i dont think they should be to come in here you know because they do have a lot more corona and theyre not as careful as we are some sort of way going on i think it is important to take care of ourselves 1st and the number of those info to distil house within i think it is good that we keep the border closed for a while. But i think about him i just talked to a friend in sweden yesterday and she told me that theyre only going to start was working for him. I was surprised because we are opening up now so therefore im a bit concerned devote opening of the border right now. Demand for anti anxiety and depression medications has risen significantly in the us and recent studies suggest 73rd american show symptoms of anxiety depression or both we heard from psychiatry. Who explained this rise in numbers. The nature of the pandemic has increased peoples desire to campaign is i had a depressed patients and thats because of the virus its worry worry about getting infected and also financial worries weve got a new Global Economic crisis people are worrying about how theyre going to pay their bills i think another maybe more amorphous aspect to it is that patients are suddenly people are suddenly discovering that they have very little structure in their day the structure of workers they used to rely on is no arent there and lack of structure is a major trigger frames i had to approach isolation and kind of too much contact and both of those can create complex things i crashed the latest data indicates that the number of prescriptions up significantly in recent month the number of antidepressant prescriptions alone rose 86 percent in march and april compared with january and february has prompted doctors to raise the alarm about the risks of addiction among them and the level. Really important for people to understand that medications in the benzo days. Like exam x. Bally and car are highly habit forming thats really just a general way of saying theyre very objective and patients even patients who are taking those medications for blow of the 80 disorders can become dependent on and addicted to those medications which is why i would strongly recommend that patients dont take them every day and dont take them for more than a couple weeks and many patients come in specifically asking for certain types of. A solution lot of pressure on doctors who prescribe those who are to have. Customers i also think it has to do with you know some aspects of American Culture in particular that people just expect to be happy and are willing to take a pill you know order to try to get rid of any kind of uncomfortable motions its sort of part of American Culture. When shops in the u. S. Have seen a surge in demand for private firearms during the pandemic many of the customers appear to be 1st time bias but shooting ranges are close meaning there is no way to practice the legal basis of firearm possession is rooted in the 2nd amendment of the Us Constitution however gun control remains one of the most divisive issues that american politics with regulations varying from state to state federal laws that few limits on who can buy a gun r. T. Spoke to a gun shop owner in new jersey where gun ownership is relatively low he says the recent level of demand is unprecedented. People are afraid of of a breakdown societal breakdown so theres a stronger demand the present time people want to make sure that they obtain a firearms before the restricted in any way nothing has been like this this is unprecedented in this field and now it seems that the people on the left the liberals or the inside firing people are getting more and more into the mode of buying firearms or preparing to buying a firearm because they see that there could be a societal breakdown due to what they see in the newspapers what the media has been saying and also mass release of criminals from institutions onto the streets and people are of course fearful for their families a lot of these people they come in and they almost want to say it feels like you know its the end of the world. Society in general such as hollywood and of course the mass media a lot of books magazines articles show a lot of movies and a lot of stories of society breaking down pandemics zombies if you will and people love a good story and they actually see some types of parallel with this they see the. The actual virus as being so highly contagious and you know it can end some of the life so fast and they can they can see it playing out to the end. A lot of people that come in to buy a firearm from us or other gun shops are rather surprised when they cant just come in and buy one and walk out the door we had one then that the actual process to purchase a firearm could sit in there from a month to 10 months i think a lot of people in the left going to realize that its a lot more hard to purchase a gun than he ever thought it was thanks for taking off the international this friday with almost always coming up with a very short break stay with us. Thanks guys or Survival Guide ecstacy just mauled to start to think that all this is. The show there are you going to get that. Oh heck no. This is a repatriation scheme where we get the right to 7 years. Delegates at a large kaiser board. Every single culture on earth has prohibitions against. The same time virtually every culture of the earths words you enormously misuse killed the right person in one setting it is the most home runs establishing single match in the world and in the other setting is a little wondrous thing that they will give you a medal for that people will vote through you because of that the people will meet with you because youre good into going thats what im saying. Welcome back Nursing Homes around the walls have become 19 hotspots registering the highest number of deaths a family in the u. S. Has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming that a nursing home for negligence led to that tragedy i lost my father due to negligence at a nursing home so. I have a lot of people that i know endured that took care of my father so its actually a nurse that i know of that told me that there was time for a patient and made sure i was able to see my dad on his leg day and told him that i loved him very much but he couldnt respond because he had an oxygen mask all right his face so those were his last ourselves of being here the way said goodbye to my dad and in a list of all whats on video. A father lived in glen Haven Health Care and glendale the administration that says that they are extremely proud of that Ongoing Service we talked to the attorney of the family who says that glen haven covered up its negligence. Instead of proactively protecting. Their residents and staff. Going even cover up the fact. They were allowing a nurse or been exposed to the coronavirus to work there they refused to allow. Their staff and their nurses to wear masks and specifically forbidden so at a time when. Everyone needed protection and these are the most Vulnerable People the elderly and the sick. They hope to take appropriate measures to protect them or the opposite they cover it up they minimize the significance of the coronavirus and then try to pretend it didnt exist. And that doesnt work we need responsibility we need accountability so that we can protect the public in this doesnt happen again new york state thought over 6000 people die in Nursing Homes and adult cafe the number doesnt include deaths in hospital earlier in may state Governor Andrew Cuomo released new guidance perhaps in hospitals from sending people who tested positive for covert 19 back to Nursing Homes. Not all right organization paid to is using the coated crisis to urge people to go vegan billboard saying tofu never caused a pandemic have appeared in 4 of americas hardest hit states we launched this nationwide campaign to remind people that the Meat Industry breeds killer diseases that everyone can help prevent the next viral outbreak by living v can now pays a claims that animal market sound meets manufacturers are responsible for the pandemic in iowa one of its billboards was put up right outside a meat plant the campaign has drawn criticisms from some who accuse the organization of exploiting people feelings. I find it very insensitive for peta to have a billboard that states tofu would never cause a pandemic just a few miles from one of and j. C. Largest Health Care Systems filled with people who are fighting for their lives right now not the right time peta. Imagine using the pandemic where people are suffering to. Wow using the fear pandemic to use as a way to shove your propaganda on us this makes me sick that youre taking this pandemic as a chicks piece this pandemic is killing people overwhelmed doctors even having people fresh out of med school. But weve put the issue up for debate where that doctor can i spend it if they need a corporate liaison pay to u. K. And Patrick Holden follow on a founding director of the south the Sustainable Food trust they discussed whether its veganism that can face people. This might be a fun bearable but its deadly serious 18000 people who work in meat packing factories have been infected with kind of the 90 day conditions that people have to work in at meat packing factories and in avatars is absolutely atrocious need to sympathize with the plight of people who work there now often on minimum wage they have very long hours its physically demanding job is in close contact 2nd line virus can jump from one person to another piece dont want to see that and if the abuse of humans and animals we want these meat packing facilities to be part of history we need to go vegan in order to protect ourselves as well as animals and the environment i think that intensive livestock production factory farming about the most is on that fickle and unsustainable we should all be appalled by those kind of systems of production but your throwing the baby out with a bath water that youre also saying we should extend our practice to becoming completely legal and thats where im challenging you i believe that there is a different way a better way where out of those cant be compassionate they looked after and ferrets during their lives as i am doing it by dairy for me so see i was being happy during its life and the conditions of its death or as good as they possibly could be thats an ethical choice i feel comfortable with patrick i do applaud your aims of more Sustainable Farming and better conditions valuables but weve got to look at the facts it doesnt matter how good the animals life has been and however big the field is they may be living in no animal wants to die so you put yourself in their place and you were taken to the average what you and created of course you wouldnt it is an ethical to eat other animals and we dont. Need to do it in the stone age what i would say to you is that both of the traditional reasons and saw fit to see reasons lives talk the right kind of livestock manager in a compassionate way we need to be part of the Sustainable Farming systems and as always you have got ethical objections its perfectly right and sensible to eat those products the live animal market would have and was the source of the outbreak for the coronavirus where the infection spread so rapidly because of the huge number of different species of animals that they were living in their own filth unvested nations have showed theres just a lot in guts at us absolutely disgusting but these conditions exist on modern farms around the world as well and weve seen pandemic out banks at the moment theres a massive virus infection going on with pigs african swine fever has killed millions of pigs we just dont know when the next virus is going to jump on animals to humans i believe that sustainable livestock production needs to be and will be an integral part of the sustainable whose systems we need for the future and we as the consuming public need to be able to differentiate between those systems which are on ethical unsustainable and therefore part of the problem or those systems that have just been described and those which are emphatically part of the solution and rather like the serenity prayer know the difference between the 2.

Show me the cost and charting the future we demand any good theory to proceed it is time to assess the economic damages own house prices change between 1. 00 company and 3 if theres going to be a recovery well crime. And are there lessons to be learned. But if i need another one of the highest amount of sway or both assume. Bannock itself mukti it on the plus weve got to do so hard not to think in the dismissive of the work of the day i was and i dont miss the mark then if. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. To. The floor and you can feel the 50 without a visible face with it and you have a whole movie about a box with a comment on the. What i think is this is the fans that is all comfy and. Visionaries me Sophie Shevardnadze humans on one hand. And on the other hand there are people of great sacrifices. Such extremes. The professor of biology and a religion at Stanford University and a recipient of a mock arthur foundation. Professor of biology in new rollins at Stanford University so great to have you with us because we had so much to talk about. In our previous problems were talking to each other and director and screenwriter mr herzog about this fear factor into more of his medicine forms and without that todays program would be tested kate also to where this fear factor comes from but in more biological ways i want to start with this so many times ive heard this expression that humans are the most dangerous animals on earth used to have the added world to trace the origins of Human Behavior and you know how our brain works and what drives us so tell me is the most dangerous just imagine for or is it actually true. Well it certainly is true looking at the number of species were driving into extinction although. The lesson of this season may be that unlike risk opic viruses can do at least as good of a job in the other direction when you look at humans the challenge is that theres this terribly confusing paradox which is we are indeed the most dangerous species on earth we are in news ripley violent species we have remarkable already have ways of making their miserable damaging all of that yet at the same time were also the most cooperate of species on earth where the most altruism where the most compassionate and for me as a scientist what is the most challenging thing to make sense of is the biology of how. Awful in some settings and so wonderful in others and often its the same behaviors its very dependent on context so thats exactly what we talk about today to try to actually deconstruct what you just sat with your cause
