Take down some of Donald Trumps more controversial posts however a new undercover report says that the social media giant has censored the president s supporters for quite some time. Casting live direct from our studios in moscow this is R T International im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. Now the u. S. Has seen a record daily increase in coded 1000 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those infections were revealed by Johns Hopkins university now the previous high was back in april with more than 36000. 00 cases the u. S. Still holds the record for the most global infections with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases and this latest a surge has forced the several states including texas and florida to suspend plans to reopen despite that President Trump claims his country is coping well with the pandemic. We have the greatest Testing Program in the world weve developed it over a period of time and were up to almost 30000000. 00 tests that means we can have more cases if we do want to test or if we didnt test we wouldnt have cases but we have cases because we test deaths are down we have one of the lowest mortality rates weve done an incredible historic. As he says there the u. S. Has a considerably lower mortality rate than most affected European Countries however that is still the 9th highest death rate globally meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable and is being attributed to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country the way the crisis has been handled in the u. S. Has dealt a blow to the countrys reputation in europe a new survey in 9 countries shows 59 percent believe americas image has suffered during the pandemic while just 6 percent believe it has improved we asked europeans for their views. They dont have such an effective medical system as others do plus the Social Security system in america differs from ours for the moment europe does better but it isnt United States. For now i i prefer to be french sorry then american the Good Health System and Health Care System so it makes it better and makes us happy to be in france right now but at the same time i cant really judge them like its not you can see french people partying and doing. Music festival and stuff so we are not better actually we cannot really compare. The new Group Everybody mostly reacted in the common way and only germany maybe suffered through a lets lets comparing casual just in france italy england with america i think that they have little mortality rate per 1000000 than we have so its difficult to say. Because in the United States they have managed coverage 9000 poorly in fact it is enough to count the 10 i believe that we have controlled and managed the epidemic better. Eat up this is up to me lupin demick america has not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build the separation of mexico and i suppose he was im so capable fighting this virus he could have done knew about instead underestimated the situation when you are interpreted so i believe that we can all judge the work done in the usa this is a large country that has a different door from us has different Economic Resources and a different population we too have made almost steaks. Meanwhile in france a coronavirus tracing app has alerted just 14 users about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks that is despite of the countrys recording many new cases of the virus every single day are just look at what. Stop code it. Was a priest to be a bright idea that could help prevent a 2nd wave of infections and on your smartphone that uses bluetooth signals to keep track of the devices and therefore the people that you come into contact with and when it was a few weeks ago the french minister said he could offer to a flying start as of this morning 600000 people managed to download the app so its a very very good start. Well after a few hiccups perhaps including a delayed release that so many people in france accidentally downloading another tracing up one for catalonia. Ok so who after a full start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think that given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with small loans thats barely a day in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die. But almost immediately 460000 men decided that it wasnt a great idea and deleted it so weve got much on to the streets of paris to find out who took the plot. And the budget for you to no no no no no no we do to faint. Yes somebody who is actually down loaded it but then she said this as if yes i dont loaded it but i didnt really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so war i was there is so much resistance to enough that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the mortal world has ever apparently see. I take precautionary measures like a mosque but so i have a problem with giving my personal data if this application is for that reason i didnt download it. For the Younger Generation i wasnt interested and like younger people who move around a lot for their work. I didnt take the time to download it oh did you leave in a safe way for example i did bike and stop taking the metro assume my friends but i dont need a lot of people i dont have the need to download it because its centralized i plainly and truthfully im quite wary of what would be done with may data. And that phone the. Principle behind that issue of the personal data really had the french in much more civil rights activists were concerned about the right to the right to privacy while hundreds of academics voiced fears that they take out those could be repurposed for the mass surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to worry about off the or was it since emerged that only iran 68. 00 people informed the platform that they had been infected with covert and only 14 uses were alerted that they were at risk thats not going down well with those we spoke with we its a bit of a. Yes i think that 14 is not many it was only 14 people who are informed. By shows its not as successful as high. By the authorities i think that people were a bit wary about this exchange on the mobo would you continue to pay for something you dont use no i dont think so paying for something which is not used one should ask question. Clearly delete is the other thing thats. Worth thinking the up would work anyway france is digital minister has been trying to save face saying the numbers reflect a decrease in the viruses prevalence and this is true the numbers of infections have been steadily declining in france centric oh says he will be useful if theres a new spike in cases until then the french state looks set to pick up a bill of up to 120000. 00 euros a month for an hour that we are using challengeable ski r. T. Over a 1000 european politicians have signed a letter condemning israels plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank the parliamentarians argue that the us backed initiative would seriously undermine the rules based global order and pose a threat to regional stability this move will be fatal to the prospects of Israeli Palestinian peace and will challenge the most basic norms Guiding International relations including the un chancer acquisition of territory by force has no place in 2020 and must have commensurate consequences an expansion of parts of the occupied territory was proposed in the trumpet ministrations socalled peace plan which was released in january it envisages all Illegal West Bank settlements being brought under israeli control the initiative appears to have emboldened Prime Minister netanyahu to begin the process of seizing Palestinian Land on the 1st of july. 1st of all it is illegal under International Law because these are listing in territories there are plenty of United Nations resolutions calling for israel not to build or to encroach on the mainland israel has miley quite a number of un laws over the years and it has done so with impunity i Hope International community which is very weak on this country for years this time will take on sions of the danger behind this and action i hope with all my heart that we can prevent this dangerous move that the Israeli Government is doing now this is time now that we can he lead to International Rules and norms sadly there is only one country that can persuade israel not to build on this land so United States of america and donald trump as you know really disregards United Nations and International Law by saying yes to anything is what wanted to do donald trump i think is marginal nice him sell on this conflict and this is about credibility and i think with trungpa new session united as lost a lot of credibility to bring. In this conflict really we need to look at europe and im hoping that european governments will rise to the occasion and tell israel. Should not do this and if they do all then they should be a sanctions imply. Implied on them if this an exception is coming for real we will need real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of. This lect areas because its crossed party because its crossed you know sort of you know you crossed euro and it has leading figures who have supported israel and palestine over decades i think. The International Community specially europe needs to say enough is enough we have the power to refix the balance and citrus rael we are partners we are friends but we also friends of the Palestinian People and we want peace in this region so think about what youre doing. And work for peace instead of destroying the 2 state solution if an action is this country. In a. Few days or few weeks this will be a huge a major turn over in this conflict and i dont know what can what distant you can bring i see nothing but its the denture in spain a famous painting has been made on the recognizable after restoration worker decided to add a little bit of creativity and it isnt the 1st time a famous piece of art has received a bad make over. I dont think these people should be referred to as restorers lets be honest theyre buggers who botched things up they destroy things. Germanys chancellor is warning that europe will need it to reimagine its role in the world if the u. S. Continues to pursue isolationist policies more on that after a short break this is R T International. A minimum wage doesnt guarantee you a job. As you but if you get a job and be paid that wage is precisely that guarantee that means youre less likely to get a job and so i would predict probably over a 1000000 people would lose their jobs if the minimum wage were doubled to 50 now they want to phase it in so maybe 800000. 00. Would be differentially in communities ripple out of black mississippi lower wage states. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic developments only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and tom. Welcome back this is our t. International now the wealth of facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has fallen by 7000000000. 00 as its share price tumbles after lucrative advertisers boycotted the network claiming it isnt doing enough to filter hate speech donald trump has a lot to do with their firy but a new undercover report by project veritas suggests the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for quite some time. Explains. Oh how the mighty have fallen ok maybe not fallen but facebook and other platforms that owns like instagram are getting hit where it hurts by an advertising boycott led by civil Rights Groups in the u. S. Every day we see ads from companies place to jasons to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns you add buying dollars being used by the conference to increase its dominance in the industry at the expense of vulnerable and marginalized communities who are often targets of hate groups on facebook that started out small but as the days go by bigger and more powerful Companies Like ne viber are dropping their ads and things really got kicked up a notch when verizon join the fray a company that reportedly spent almost 2000000. 00 on advertising on the 2 platforms just last month now this is all a push in order to get the social media giant to increase moderation on its side could protect and support black uses could they called out Holocaust Denial as hate could they help gets out the vote but absolutely could but theyre actively choosing not to do so lets send facebook a powerful message your profits will never be worth promoting hates bigotry racism antisemitism and violence and a large number of facebook employees seem to agree with that just a couple weeks ago they conducted a virtual walkout after the us president wrote a post that was deemed by many to be inciting violence after the incidents occurred said that the company would be reviewing its policies but also cautioned against new forms of moderation in general i worry that this approach has a risk of leading us to editorialize on content we dont like even if it doesnt violate our policies so i think we need to proceed very carefully and yet thats just the problem the Company Seems to have a new undercover report has once again revealed an anti trump left leaning bias at the company i worked as a subcontractor for facebook i was seeing them interfering on a global level in a lecture. And then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really have to take the word from. The left side yes good come out so well see is that maybe one of the growing political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right right but facebook obviously had to give a 100 percent believed to sidelining conservative opinions and meddling and elections crazy right so if you come as no surprise that the right isnt happy with social media giants either twitter royally ticked off trump when they put a label on a couple of his posts warning that they could be potentially misleading he responded with executive order to 33. 00 choices the twitter makes one it uses to suppress d that blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter ceases to be a neutral public platform and they become an editor with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about other source and whether youre looking to google whether youre looking at facebook social Media Companies that engage in censoring or any political content will not be able to keep their liability shield and now a number of users are calling it quits and link to platforms that call themselves on bias that remains to be seen but in light of all this something tells me that dr burke is ruing the day he ever even enter the thought of regulating content on a site all my name a fighting russian metal one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian Information Operations in 2016 we were slow to identifying the type of new Information Operations ever since then the debate over whats moderation and what censorship has gotten more and more nuanced and guess what thats not going away the users just might. Germanys chancellor Angela Merkel has said that europe will need to become more selfreliant if the United States continues to pursue isolationist policies. We grew up in the certain knowledge that the United States wanted to be a world power should the us no wish to withdrawal from that role for its own free will we would have to reflect on that very deeply merkels statement comes in the wake of Donald Trumps decision to drastically scale down the number of u. S. Troops in germany the u. S. President accused berlin of failing to pay up and ordered to relocate some military personnel to poland and bring others home so germanys delinquent theyve been delinquent for years and they owe nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so were protecting germany ended delinquent that doesnt make sense so i said were going to bring down the soldier 225000 soldiers. And theres another bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the north to stream to pipeline project if completed it will pump russian gas through the baltic sea to germany on thursday a group of u. S. Senators introduced legislation for Senate Review for tougher sanctions against those involved in the project now reports suggest that germany is preparing to strike back john tell us solely from germanys that the left party told us berlin will not bow to u. S. Pressure. Yes certainly many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let us stop nosferatu because it is essential to german economic interests and so this. Which is nearly finished by the way will not be stopped i agree with Angela Merkel that america is the cry and it is questionable how long it can really remade a world power in the way that it has been a global that you want it appears power for the last well half a century and it isnt development that could be positive for the world if germany were to take its opportunity and point and use it euro t. Boundaries and europe and build on cooperation cooperation for example with russia that can have real lasting security consequences for the continent we have to look and the other their actions because the United States has shown itself to be a force for destruction and if europe does not want to be in the way of this destruction and if it wants to build up the continent again after this terrible face the economic consequences of it call it 90 then we have to find different ways. 35 minutes now its when i will be back with another full look at your news im sean thomas this is our Teacher National say with us. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived weve been busy was all there were to view houses were allowed to leave prison was located and the only people had access to the story investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. You grated nor in. Hockey see maybe a sword a full. Thing for justice. Was needed less than the thought of you know when youve been able to molest that solicit it was a propagandist you also. Heard from the regular morgue or your home or your partner are going to be moving from that. Water source a cure all but us lucifer yes you know its just that in a couple of them to fail. Is not my achievement mr davies our 5 beautiful lands were conceived. And carried out by the people themselves if they would produce or even flirted with the idea of making a film like this theyd probably be branded as crazy. And that was the sentiment during the war that the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis thats going to change of course after the war once the cold war begins. I. Think that hollywood is a free. Lates holywood is strictly defined by only one side of the business and the other side is ideology. How would i define ali is they call it a tree manufacturer which i thinks true but i think equally its a propaganda factory. I note no crowd. No shots no. Action felt i. Was. No 1st. Point your thirst for action. I think you. Chain reaction process in the reactor 3 a tremendous heat which scientists have learned out of control. Dilution really patriotic scene to harness the air i was so excited about Nuclear Engineering because i thought it would solve the Worlds Energy crisis is exciting science to realize youve got the power of the sun inside that reactor and theyre so all inspiring when everything works theyre really here to refer when making energy the problem is that everything does work with time japans a Nuclear Nightmare continues a 2nd Hydrogen Explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex destroyed. The reactors exterior all 3 daiichi reactors have Nuclear Fuel Rods that have been exposed to some degree so theyre teetering on the edge of a meltdown. You need to say. Theres. No heat. They need to get you increase. 3 more. Concerning that situation in japan im now joined live from vermont to some you know were reporting at the moment that theyre all suggestions that a partial Nuclear Meltdown is no way this is not a Nuclear Chain reaction this is not a nuclear bomb this is the radiation left over after the Chain Reaction has started sort of sorts or interrupt but you say this is not a nuclear bomb but would the effects be the same as a nuclear bomb if obviously it does reach meltdown and there is an explosion. The chemicals that are going to be released or similar actually the chemicals released from other the radioactive chemicals released from a nuclear bomb disappear quicker then the radiation that is released in a Nuclear Power plant all were looking at an apocalypse this is true and noble on steroids do you think its definitely going to happen or do you think crisis could be of. No i dont think crisis can be averted. I mean no containment building of the d. B. Spacy Nuclear Reactor could keep that power plant shut down longer than expected 1st energy says it will be stored in the plants clean told of cracked displaced those who live in the shadow due to spend see any problem can be alarming i dont give it a whole line of thought that once in awhile when you hear Something Like that the concern should. Be Nuclear Regulatory commission is monitoring the situation. Indian Point NuclearEnergy Center in a condition no one wants to see with clocks
