International bringing you the days top stories from around the world now 1st to making headlines around the world 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. Well. The police say protesters forced their way into the building infected on fire personnel have been evacuated from the precinct before hand the city of minneapolis via social media said they were unconfirmed reports gas lines leading to the building had been cut devices people from the area the protests calling for justice for george lloyd have spread from minneapolis to other cities. Such. As Alexey Arshad ski who has witnessed similar events unfolding in baltimore and focused on reports. Everything happening in the United States these days for the last 3 nights at least is somewhat of a groundhog day when it comes through the protests against Police Brutality in the u. S. Turning very very violent now in this particular instance it was spawned by the killing of george floyd a 6 year old africanamerican man who was essentially killed by a Police Officer when that officer kneeled over his neck and the man suffocated later died for 3 nights minneapolis the city of minneapolis has been on fire there have been protests all around the country and you may ask yourself whats the reason for this protest not just the killing but the fact that the 4 policemen who were involved in this unfortunate event in this death of george floyd. Indeed fired by the Minneapolis Police but the people in the streets they demand that they should be in jail. Nevertheless the situation is very serious it has reached the u. S. President and the authorities and this new turn in general f. B. I. To be very general to take a very strong look and see whats going on because it was a very very bad thing that i saw. The department of justice has made the investigation a top priority and has assigned experienced prosecutors and f. B. I. Criminal investigators to the mountain its not just president and the authorities who are reacting to this to this nightmare whole happening in minnesota right now but also different celebrities Justin Bieber you know many many other pop stars and different socially important people are reacting to this the United Nations even had their say on what went on in minnesota this time so it is causing a lot of attention so i did say it reminds me of a groundhog day even the scenario of what is now happening in minneapolis is exactly the same as i saw in ferguson and baltimore 1st the 1st the start of the protests then the police rolls and then the whole country is reacting to this and the national. Guard walks and we saw the National Guard in for august and we saw National Guard in baltimore and that speaks volumes about you know how the situation is repeating itself all over again even the last words of george floyd when he was killed by the Police Officer i can breed is a direct you know direct relation to the woods said by eric garner another man killed in the hands of police that happened in new york city in long island in 2014 in july later on there was also a case of mike brown in missouri i went there in november 24th seeing the whole town was on fire it felt really scary to be out in the streets and you know the buildings were burning there was gunfire heard all across the region all the cross the place and even the fact out the 2 notorious africanamerican gangs the bloods and the cripps Alliance Together in the streets against the police that speaks volumes about how intense the situation was the same the same story happened in baltimore which is just next door to washington d. C. In 2015 and april when another africanamerican man Frederick Gray was taken for a rough ride in the back of a police van so hot that hes had nearly fell off and that caused even scarier protests in the streets of baltimore i remember what you know riding into baltimore and the firemen of the policemen tell us do not go into the south and part of the city because it is own fly it is unsafe we walked in with saw a National Guard in the streets at some point we were filming a piece to camera and we even saw a National Guard you know a National Guard soldier pointing a gun at us thinking that we were. I dont know looters or bandits or anything like that so you know this is happening all over again you would think that by this point the police would think about their actions would try to prevent things like that from happening again but we can see. It all over all over and its golfing the country again we see protests in new york we see protests in denver we see arrests and attainments of people in those protests so you only have to wonder whether any lessons have been learned from those things happening 656 years ago former minnesota governor Jesse Ventura told us that while its difficult to look at minneapolis burning he understands the motives of those protesting. Where you see the rioting take place on lake street many haha thats my Old Neighborhood im all for protesting the figure that you gotta remember is are you as a white person still cant understand what these black people are going through and let me give you a quick example i have a friend whos a ph d. Hes the head of the sounds of blackness or grammy Award Winning Musical Group and he lives in minneapolis he said before he drives hes a black man before he drives his car at night he puts his license here his insurance here he puts his car registration here so he doesnt have to reach for anything i looked at him and said are you kidding me ive been driving in minnesota for 50 years and i have never that fought has never even entered my mind that thats what the white people need to understand we dont get it because its never been part of our lives like it is with these black people the full offices involved have been fired the one who was pinning flowing to the floor has been identified and theyre excited and he was previously investigated over another death a Fatal Shooting in 2006 as well as a other shooting incident in 20082011 another place been identified in the video. Reportedly being sued in the pasta excessive use of force activists michele told is the police think they can act with impunity. Is essential that these that these officers face murder charges. And back their will 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 because these officers are still running the streets and these are dangerous men and theyre running the streets and they have 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 cop the community down. 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 there will say its 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 boyd in the next you respect me smiling for the camera knowing that people were recording him he had no problem with that because he was more uncertain that he was going to get away with it because thats been the history in minneapolis. The french government says it will further relax the countrys lockdown starting in june the 2nd its been 3 weeks since the korean team with 1st east and things are looking up according to Health Officials the number of covert patients requiring intensive care has reduced significantly of late charlotte depends again paris explains one new freedoms the way the french. Positive signs approach said the french Prime Minister it would felipe as he announced the next phase of the decomp final plans for all of us who was at the zoo. During the 2nd phase system this element which is impulse and freedom will finally become the rule the band will be the exception so what will change for this next phase will 1st of all the 100 kilometer thats around 60 mile limit for which people could travel from their homes will be scrapped so people will be able to travel all around france however the borders with other European Countries will for the moment remain closed we know the balls restaurants and cafes and parks will also be opening across the country and cultural and sporting events will progressively start to take place so for next weekend scenes and theatres will be able to open and by the end of june sporting events should be able to also take place in the city of bordeaux there was relief at the new measures that have been announced that would be. Happy to welcome customers again its nice to know that we can work on the quite acceptable conditions given the situation. Weve rearranged the tables weve marks on the floor for customers and weve got a lot of hands on the wounds just dont work sure. To take out food the lifting of self isolation and made the 11th did not change much but i think people will want to go outside and do the work its not toping back to normal here for life in front groups of more than 10 people will still remain from in public spaces not so in private spaces such as peoples homes and the measures are not completely uniform across the country either paris is in now whats considered to be an orange showing meaning that the virus is still spreading at a higher rate of circulating at a higher rate than in the rest of the country and as a result of that while bars and restaurants and cafes will be able to open the only be able to open if they have terraces outside to serve their customers the government will also be launching in. Storm could feed 19 are patient this is a controversial app for mobile phones to help let people know if theyve the news something has had a virus or for people to let the new government that they have symptoms it was passed by Parliament Tear into this week but some have suggested that this application is a step closer to total surveillance by the state here in france but the application will not be mandatory. Complement we have wanted to provide the french people with an additional tool is the mobile app store. It is not a magic weapon against the pandemic but its new dish which enables us to fight against it and fight against it even more flexibly in the near future. The french Prime Minister also talked about the economy which is in a dire state facing a record recession here since the end of the 2nd world war a review was nailed to the post this week with the unemployment which paints a grim picture for france theyre at a record high the highest theyve been since 1996 thats almost 25 years with some 4500000 people now out of work so france may be emerging from its chrysalis of a lock down but it is a country that is still far from ready to fly. Demand for antianxiety and antidepression medications has risen significantly in the us a recent Study Suggests every 3rd american shows symptoms of anxiety depression or both we heard from psychiatry is the other limca who explains 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 into a Global Economic crisis people are worried 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 current plantings i crash the latest data indicates that the number of prescriptions is up significantly in recent months the number of antidepressant prescriptions alone rose 86 percent in march and april compared with january and february well thats prompted doctors to raise the alarm about the risks of addiction and among them other lipka. But really important for people to understand that medications in the benzo days of people like a xanax that i am caught up in 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 bona fide that 80 disorders can become dependent on and addicted to those medications which is why we strongly recommend that patients dont take them every day and dont take them for more than a couple of weeks and many patients come in specifically asking for certain types of pills as a lot of pressure on doctor to prescribe those who are to have the 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 in order to try to get rid of any kind of one comparable emotions its sort of part of American Culture were back with more after this very short break. Thats geysers Financial Advice they say made the bell i. Plugged it easy this is essential public support dying at the moment i dont call them i know they stopped. Coming because in charting the future we depend on a good period to proceed it is time to assess the economic damage is the price and change the Global Economy and if theres going to be a recovery. And are there lessons to be learned. Every single culture on earth has prohibitions against. At the same time virtually every culture of nurse working enormously if youve killed the right person in one setting it is the most horrendous damaging single match in the world and in the other setting is one thing that they will give you a medal for that people will vote through because of the people will meet with you because youre good at 2 going thats what im saying. Welcome back Nursing Homes around the world seem to have been particularly badly hit by the pandemic registering some of the highest death rates in some cases its believed that negligence has been a key factor one woman in the us told us why have family is suing the nasty guy my father died in. I lost my father due to negligence at a nursing home wholl be 19 i need i have a lot of people that i no one dared to can my father so its actually an ash that i know that told me there was time for peace an inmate that i was able to see my dad on his land day and told him that i loved him very much but he couldnt respond because he had an oxygen mask all writs face so those were his last hours of being here the way said goodbye to my dad and in the last 3 elections on video. Her father lived to and glen Haven Health Care in glendale california the administration that as they say its extremely proud of a song going 7 s. We talked to the familys attorney his faith glen haven covered up its negligence instead of proactively protecting. Their residents and the status quo and they haven covered up the fact that 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 they go to him said. Fail to take appropriate measures to protect them quite the opposite they cover it up they minimize the significance of the coronavirus and then tried 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 saw over 6000 people die in Nursing Homes and adult care facilities the number doesnt include deaths in hospitals the state governor facing scrutiny for his handling of the crisis insists no no nothing homes were forced to take in patients the obligation is on the nursing home to say take a covert positive person im too crowded im too busy i dont have enough people the whatever the answer is doesnt really matter is if they say i. Q. To the person they take the person well that sparks a backlash as earlier in march the new York Department of health released an advisory on noting homes in which it was stated that they should not deny residents admission and case theyve confirmed 19 infection and its controversial directive over 4500 patients recovering from corona virus was sent to new york Nursing Homes but according to the Health Department the real number could be far higher we talked to money a lawyer and former candidate for candidate for new York City Council she says Nursing Homes shouldnt be blamed for following guidelines. You know i think this is probably one of the worst decisions that i stayed in this and. I was not Rocket Science i mean why would you send all normal seniors actually nursing i where its you know its an environment where the disease are all higher you know why would you do that. You know so i think thats something that you know makes the gutter you know pretty pretty fair and i think a lot of people want answers from that and also its really disingenuous because now you have cuomo is blaming Nursing Homes. For following his own directives you know if youre going to lose your license because you disobey governor chances arent going to distract really the nurse. And i move to defend 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 is really. 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 the society be able to manage this better the challenge of govt at 19 is not a Football Game nor the losing fans in the stands a hoop of the crew of the team it is a common generational challenge to guarantee everyones health since the start of the pandemic sweden has chosen not to impose Strict Lockdown measures shops restaurants bars and schools have remained open while self isolation and social distancing are encouraged but not enforced so far among the nordic states sweden has been hit the hardest in terms of deaths per 1000000 meanwhile travel bans across europe are set to ease by summer both weight may have 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 suite. 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 fire bill 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. No way will our business travelers from other nordic countries including sweden to enter from june the 1st the inclusion of sweet has locals worried. When you think about how sweeden handled the whole situation its. 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 a lot of us i think it is important to take care of ourselves 1st and the number of those at that to distil house with him 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 now. On 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 buyers but shooting ranges are close to meaning theres nowhere to practice the legal basis for firearm possession is rooted in the 2nd amendment of the Us Constitution however gun control remains one of the most divisive issues in 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 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 insight fire 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 in 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 or 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 up 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 joining us here on earth a International Team in moscow that will be live from london 30 minutes. Seemed wrong wrong but all. Just dont hold. Any new world yet to shape out this day become educated and in games from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart wing just to look for common ground. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area rush up. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. If we see culture on earth has prohibitions against. The same time virtually every culture and the earth rewards you enormously if you use killed the right person in one setting it is the most horrendous to have wishing sinking the hatch in a bomb and in the other setting is a wondrous thing they will give you a medal for the people who because of that the people will be with you because youre good into going thats what im saying. Drugs has come from unscrupulous dealers to trim pharmacies to in every state in the United States we see. Very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did those at their dose after dose if your dose and really became his drug dealer whos to blame patients doctors manufacturers its. Greetings and sally. As ive stated before sometimes it takes a life or death crisis to reveal someones true colors especially when it comes to our political leaders take Us Senate Leader Mitch Mcconnell who this week showed us just once again how little he cares about the plight of the American People on a recent Conference Call with House Republicans discussing the you know the later
