There are so many places you could be right now at least youve joined us this is r. T. Internet. Voting is under way in russia on amendments to the countrys constitution the package includes more than 100. 00 provisions some of which have been widely criticized they both online and early voting begins all leading up to next wednesdays general vote against the has been delving deeper. 7 days of voting and now underway across russia cross 97000 polling stations set up for this vote and you know Vladimir Putin he never misses an opportunity to remind everyone how the world is changing how quickly its changing and how important it is for russia to stay ahead of the curve these obviously these changes what the government of visions as paving the path for russia to stay ahead of that curve. Does tell you how important how much is at stake here the fact that theyre holding them now just as russia begins to emerge from the group of ours pandemic. Have been lifted across the country nevertheless there are hotspots where the situation is east still severe which is why there are so many mechanisms in procedures now in place to guarantee that this would ease primarily safe to minimize the potential transmissions and infections to the loo is possible and theres all sorts of Long Distance routing theres inhouse movie theres also for the 1st time online voting mass online voting people can register move all apps and vote a 1000000 people have registered so far though a number of applications have been declined to to due to detailed errors for example Incorrect Information incorrect Contact Details nevertheless people have been able to register successfully as i said theres a lot of polarization many people have come out against this vote nobody will always be happy the communists for example their followers to boot but against the changes saying that they will commit continue to campaign against the shane just what they entailed even during the voting. We submitted 108. 00. Amendments but alas they will in United Russia Party rejected them whats the point of changing the constitution if we keep on catering for a resource based economy if we choose not to teach children subjects relevant to today or to support science so whats the point to prolong his term. The more radical opposition those against the government and everything anything to do with the government they say that the vote simply isnt necessary that the amendments are bad news and at the end of the day they dont even believe that the vote will be fair something that organizers have told us simply isnt true. Our main goal is the health and safety of our citizens voting is safe i think going to the shops or walking in the park there is no obligation to vote and no one will know which way he wrote it and people should feel free to come in in whatever way they want if they decide to vote at all we welcome everyone all the critics the doubters the skeptics. The votes was originally supposed to happen in april 1 day in april but because of the pandemic obviously it was postponed and now it is being stretched out over a 7 day period in order to prevent lines in crowds from forming again to minimize transmission to make it see through all sorts of restrictions in place and how many people can be in voting stations at any one time nevertheless according to polls 67 percent of russians voice their intent to go and vote in these amendments 20 percent still undecided and just 30 percent have said that they dont plan on going to vote weve also put together this video of this keep here to show you what are these that has super poor people in russia it was january when president putin stunned russia by proposing changes to the countrys foundational law the constitution within hours the entire government had resigned the current constitution dates back to 993. 00 to western backed president Boris Yeltsin built from the debut of the communist soviet era constitution created what would be criticized as a hyper president ial system the president called all the shots and it was forged in bloodshed. As a hostile communist control parliament tried to impeach yeltsin he resorted to the military to keep in power. 187 people were killed that autumn. One of the most important proposals today is to end that hyper president ial system while keeping the fundamentals of the constitution intact so what powers does the president currently have only he alone can nominate the Prime Minister and other cabinet Members Parliament just gives a formal green light to the candidates. The proposal would flip that giving parliament the final say on who serves in government and the president would not be able to reject the m. P. s choices. Powers would be redistributed between various branches of government intended to lock in more checks and balances into russias government system another big change would limit the president s tenure to only 2 terms in total as opposed to no more than 2 terms in a row as it is now. That means future leaders wont be able to serve for as long as putin has but its not a member which has got western media excited perceive trick to stay in power forever the existing rules say putin must stand aside in 4 years time after his 2nd consecutive term albeit his 4th mandate in total m. P. s are pushing a proposal to 0 out his term count a reset button for an updated constitution i propose to add to the you can situation the current president like any other citizen would have the right to be elected to the post of head of the state that would mean putin could run again in 2024 and in 2030 if he wants to rewind back to january why putin said he wanted to change the constitution he says its to develop a welfare state and the reason for these amendments is to ensure the further development of russia as a state governed by the rule of law to increase the efficiency of institutions in our country with that in mind the remore than 140. 00 amendments one guarantees that the minimum wage will not be. Lower than the cost of living another secures an annual adjustment to improve the real value of pensions and allowances there would also be tougher requirements for Civil Servants such as banning key officials from having foreign citizenship all Foreign Bank Accounts would also be a ban on giving away any russian territory and a priority to domestic law over international there are some controversial proposals to marriage would be classified solely as a union between a man and a woman and god gets mentioned over the constitution will still say russia is officially a secular state its an all or nothing vote russians wont be able to pick and choose which of the amendments they want to say its simply a yes or a no to the whole package and the changes will only be enacted if the russian people give it an unequivocal mandate. If people do not vote for the amendments they will not be added to the constitution. Jonas pramod donald believes the constitutional changes are needed because the Current System is a product of hard times i think its very important to note that the present constitution came out of violence came out of a time of deep uncertainty a time a very small chance events after the collapse of the soviet system i mean it all happened when 2 years of gorbachev leaving office 27 years have passed a lot of water has gone under the bridge a lot of lessons have been learned and thats why one of the western media is focusing on the putin term limits thing which by the way doesnt mean he has to go mention one day anyway. For most russians theyre not really concerned about that now if he does want to stay in office for the next 16 years and he is 83 with that obviously opens up another you know element of things and also it means that he hasnt been telling the truth himself because hes made various statements over the last number of months saying that he does not intend to remain in office as elderly man he made comments like about what happened to so meet leadership in the early eightys when you had pollution of chernenko under all of it were all very elderly they were all on the well. And broke up took over he was gone very shortly afterwards churning go took over he was very sick at the time didnt last long either and then of course he went for Gorbachev Putin said as recently as january that he does not want that to happen again because it will destabilize the country so if he stays until 83 hes basically contradicting himself putin says he will respect that vote that mean technically by the way he didnt have to have this National Vote at all i mean all 85 federal something its passed in the state parliament the duma passed it the National Parliament he didnt have to have this vote hes chosen to do it because he obviously wants a public democratic legitimacy. With the current virus restrictions east here in russia or arties welcomed its 1st official guest for months with a hunger in foreign minister dropping by and he had a chat with our correspondent in the pit trenker about hungarys decision to rule by decree during the pandemic. Tough questioning though for the sports loving minister. Qualified. To hold. Well actually it would be really tell you. That. Not only. Did everybody. Was very well everybodys in. Russia will be no this has happened in europe but will russia be the favorite. Now in. The. World is really really good this point right at this point whats going on with mr or bans powers to rule by decree a state of emergency allowed us to make decrees like in every other e. U. Member states every other e. U. Member states what was the problem of the opposition they said and liberal mainstream in europe they said that there is no concrete date of conclusion in the law which allowed us to govern by decrees we said of course there is not a concrete they because who knows when. Allow us to come back to normality when it comes to Decision Making so what we have done now we seized we concluded the state of emergency less than 90 days opposition demanded 120 had the beginning now it took less than 90 days so this is a. Number 2 when it comes to the special economy yes we made the decree but but in the meantime we submitted it to parliament as well so parliament can make a law on that because yes of course it entered into force quickly but parliament should approve that i think thats a very democracy way of of of managing things are still to come after the break Julian Assange is facing more charges in the United States over accusations he tried to hire hackers to access classified information.

Welcome back up to months of Lockdown People around the world have been enjoying their 1st taste of freedom in recent weeks feel an easing of many coronavirus restrictions but for those thinking that the fight against the virus might have been won the World Health Organization is warning its only just begun. Globally the plunder me if you still accelerating. It took more than 3 months for the 1st 1000000. 00 cases to be reported. The last 1000000 cases were reported in just. South korea received much praise around the world for how it handled the pandemic but earlier this week officials there confirmed that the country is now battling a 2nd wave of infection. I do magic only. Recently were found and it are predictions that covert 90 will slow down in the summer were all incorrect and we believe that the various outbreak will continue as long as there are close contacts between people in close space. And other Success Story was china which had managed to halt the spread of the virus relatively quickly or so it seemed a recent outbreak was recorded in beijing and quickly started to spread after locals contracted the virus at a wholesale food market journalists from the c g t a News News Network sent this report for r. T. From the chinese capital. They genes costo food market she remains in the spotlight after new coronavirus cluster was linked to which on june 11th covering an area the size of 170. 00 soccer fields the complex supplies more than 80 percent of the Capital CitiesAgricultural Products chinese authorities quickly shut down the entire market in the hope of curbing a 2nd wave of coal the 19 as quickly as possible to trace the original and cut off the spread of corona virus in beijing more than 2000000. 00 residents have been given nuclear gays said taxable prone a virus since june 13th thats around 10 percent of the total population and now the citys spending its daily Testing Capacity to more than 200000 in beijing shooting shown district a massive Testing Campaign has also been conducted on people who live at a moderate risk areas residents from the street and shooting share power carefully lining up in one hour by part reading forest watch the street is the only place labeled as moderate risk and should insure an area where one confirmed case was found recently Officials Say they plan to finish the testing of all residents on the street thats more than 60000 people in 3 days. I thought it would be fast to take such a test but in fact i spent 3 hours queuing up for the test but when i saw the doctors my heart sank because their protective googles were. And their sweat was running down their faces. 5 other testing points like this are said to complete the task more than a 1000 of government officials the medics work hand in hand every day to ensure a smooth swapping process though he only takes a few seconds to conduct a thorough swap chinas experts say the recent corona Virus Outbreak in beijing has been brought under control the trend will persist for some time but done now. Cases were decrying this might those people in beijing will still be on high alert the habit of Wearing Masks in keeping social distancing in public areas mind you are much longer time them previously thought meanwhile in germany new cases of the virus of continued to pop up in various regions leading local authorities to impose countermeasures which of differed from city to city in north rhinewestphalia for instance new imposed measures that resemble those taken at the very early stages of the pandemic be to oliver has details. Dealing with corona virus here in germany has moved away from sweeping National Measures with restrictions being lifted or imposed based on regional factors. Here in berlin authorities have lifted restrictions that had limited get togethers to a maximum of 5 people from 2 different households earlier the same move it being made in the states of brandenburg. Its a very different picture in north rhinewestphalia an outbreak centered around a meat packing plant in the city of. The sea over 1500. 00 people test positive and a Strict Lockdown until the end of the month has been imposed on the area. Undoes we will order a lockdown for the whole district of killer slow the purpose is to calm the situation to expand testing to establish whether or not the virus has spread beyond the employees of tonys and we will get a better picture of the situation or intensive testing and can then see more clearly within 7 days what the situation is we want to bring about this lockdown which will stay in place until june 30th and bring us more cleared of those long periods have formed as tests of being made available to everyone in the affected regions the military being drafted in to help with the large scale testing Operation Health professionals suggest that a large number of symptomless code would carry is a behind this spike the largest localized outbreak in germany. It is already the idea of these tests because we know that there are symptoms people who dont have a high fever who carry the virus and then unfortunately spread it today weve counted around 400 to 600 people waiting and we would also be setting up a hotline in the next few days to help with the registration. Locals queuing for tests arent at all happy with the slaughterhouse at the center of this spike all the state authorities they say should have done more. Akin to 45 my dont want to be careful and take the test i dont have symptoms and what should i say im a bit angry with the slaughterhouse that they didnt react sooner and now our region is headed into another log down we have to go through it. Often find definitely the politicians in their thirtys should have reacted to you know and then completely convinced the 1st kind of those infected were faked and then not taking any responsibility. Away from north rhinewestphalia theres also a localized lockdown in the city of my birth workers and is being seen bringing water and supplies to some of the 800 also families who are being taught. To quarantine. Around 700 people remain in an apartment complex and get again a forced quarantine which turned violent last weekend. And remember i said restrictions were being lifted in berlin well not for old berlin as in the friedrich schein area of the german capital almost 40 households of being put on lockdown those living mia by a concerned about the risk posed a not too happy with those who faulted social distancing the policy in the summer. And i have a feeling the fear can you explain why because i belong to the risk group and i have medical conditions. Were doing this for weeks and months we dont do visits anymore mostly we sit on the balcony apart from Grocery Shopping or a walk pharmacy or the doctor thats it. If pushed if you dont understand why some have clauses in the box and in the compounds we dont understand this. Off the back of those regional covert 19 spikes authorities here in berlin have said that they will be enforcing fines against those law wearing face coverings on public transport or in shops as we try to get back to his normal a life as possible while still remembering that corona virus is infectious today as it was a few months ago peter all over all see. We spoke to the shows representative to the Russian Federation about this she Still Believes that a full lockdown is not an option his wife. We have to understand that the transmissibility of the virus has not changed and it is still present in the community is this is why the recommendations of the World Health Organization have been to all countries and all communities where the numbers have gone down or even cannot be traced at the moment to be very vigilant to identify clusters new cases very quickly and to interrupt it yes the viruses are on the transmissibility is above the 2 cases so one person can basically in fact more gentle persons and this makes the virus having an epidemic potential everywhere so we have to be vigilant we have to continue with measures that quickly identify the virus i surveyed the people who need treatment identified the contacts and in this case we can start a canteen or isolate very small communities or people affected rather than go into full lock downs as we have been seeing now youre the representative to the Russian Federation what do you make about the situation in russia we are seeing the number of cases on a downward trend that there were just over 7000 new cases i think recorded yesterday. Well we have seen that the epidemic has stabilized its decreasing now we can see that in the communities that had the majority of the cases the major ones centers like moscow going down relatively well however it is still not as it would say out in the green so a continuous vigilance is needed and in case of any symptoms staying at home contacting the Health Service making the task because that is going to prevent. Flares or spikes that would follow i would not speak about a 2nd wave the 2nd wave means that we have almost no cases and then we see another rapid epidemic spread and this is something that we can actually prevent it was you got International Thanks for your company dont forget you can follow us on the various forms of social media or on pretty much all of them and if you had told website r. T. Dot com lots more stories here that. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. Prison was located and the only. Access to the story investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. You great ignore. For. Justice. I think the biggest danger that has come out education to destroy us is it has highlighted the shootin equality that exists and i think one of the 6 that education of.

Is not my achievement mr davies our 5 year plans were conceived. And carried out by the people themselves if gallo would produce or even flirted with the idea of making a film like this theyd probably be branded as crazy. Now is the sentiment during the war that the soviets were brave heroes resisting the god sees thats going to change of course after them. Once the cold war begins. Little people think that hollywood is a free place but holywood is strictly defined by one side of the business and the other side is ideology. How would i define hollywood if they call it a tree manufacturer which i think stroup but i think equally its a problem and a fact. Im max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know times are weird all over the world particularly in the sphere of economics thats why as well as when things get really difficult to understand we bring in plucky the worlds greatest economist. Status here looking. Beautiful today well i have my spring like shirt on because i think its the paper spring we saw the arab spring and the last financial crisis back after 20082009 all the money printing and all the chaos and that caused the food Price Inflation and other sort of inflation that led to the arab spring today were seeing a continuation of that were seeing a paper spring as people reject even if they know it or not what theyre rejecting is this massive money printing were going to look at some of the headlines talking about what theyre rejecting what they are instinctively rejecting in this global insurrection against banks their occupation in this insurrection against paper printing and i have some of my paper here of course here heres 100 euros here is 100 euros q hey pocky have another hungry audience have sometimes you may be. Right. So why are card prevailing likelihood that the 1950000000 euros does not exist thats the headline from bloomberg they think perhaps well we looked at our Balance Sheet perhaps there might not be any money there. Yes whats up lucky. Crap to very mean a close up white group. Where through one find a stripe lucky bankruptcy is the new initial Public Offering you cant get any better for a stock than to go bankrupt my brother brought it up right. After the recap the point i want to make is that if you look at this company wire card is a German Company they apparently they cant find a missing young theyre auditors cant find 1900000000 euros worth they dont know where it is that might not be there my net not have ever been there might have been stolen who knows right so this is the case if you look at the feds Balance Sheet if you look at your governments Balance Sheet if you look at any of the corporate Balance Sheets of any Company Listed on any Stock Exchange youre going to find the same thing and were going to look at a Staggering Number of side hustles everything is a hostile everything is a shake down everything is like times square in 1970 sort of scam. Because we have all this paper printing that has basically created the moral hazard and the incompetency and the inefficiency in our global system here is masto are looking at a chart that we covered last week from doing
