Hello there good morning its tuesday the 7th of july youre watching r. T. International where shes gone like. That with most countries in the world easing back to normality following months of lockdown scientists are warning that the virus is no longer being treated seriously enough more than 200 researches and doctors have sent a collective letter to the w. H. O. Saying the risks of airborne transmission of being ignored. We concerned that the lack of recognition of the risk of transmission of 19 and a lack of clear recommendations on the control measures against the airborne virus will have significant consequences while the morning does come as people around the globe have been flooding back to high streets bars and beaches with social distancing often difficult to maintain the fear is a real risk of mass contagion. As more. Moscow shut its restrictions on lockdown was lifted people wasted no time in pounding the pavement no mosques or clubs though just some good old pretend to 20 close crowds and now a few weeks later after several try months the brits are doing the same Super Saturday saw pubs cafes and restaurants fling open the doors and that the punters. These scenes are testament to the sacred place the point holds him British Society but they also show that as time passes and people grow restless medical advice is left out the door both the World Health Organization and the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson urged people to stay safe and to keep that distance from that drinking buddies but critics say it was Wishful Thinking from the start when you put out mexico. Even the most sensible people who party and enjoy themselves are going to meetings pretty much show szell distance and meanwhile across the atlantic americans want also to live their best lives again all around the nation states started emerging from hibernation pulling people out onto the beaches to the restaurants to the night clubs without a cat in the world the city of miami was the last. In the entire state of florida open i was criticized for waiting so long when we reopened people started socializing as if the virus didnt didnt exist what followed was a side in cases and with the rising fear that i see units would hit capacity within a matter of weeks much and see break on reopening those officials on Health Care Experts warn the curve in 1000. 00 is still very much annoyed whats more now scientists are warning that the virus could be born meaning that all these tiny particles that we have met when we when we know when we smile even when we breathe they stay suspended and up tossed on to the next costs and an inhaled by them if its got tons out to be true than even distance socializing isnt safe but youd never have guessed looking up this 4th of july celebrations. Everyone wants this crisis to end many thought that reopening and pretending that things what kate was a good option but also catalonians also gives rabies also some a strange sense all right didnt suppressed housetop walked out. It didnt that back in lockdown so if those Super Saturdays still want to be sipping points in the red british sun and oldest then maybe they should start listening to the doctor take a step back given the Current Situation we have still 80 to 90 Percent People and in fact if they dont have antibodies in their blood this mean any change in the social behavior will bring the. Greater close. To the transmission level we have seen before so if the controller years are not a good deal as strictly as they should be opening up earlier in time especially in many of the countries now were the risk of a 2nd wave and it is not inevitable but not following the sort of distancing and the controlled media that been put in place were certainly a risk but secondly its the only way to curtail this interaction is to really keep their distance and. Other controlled media such as washing hands and keeping personal hygiene or only solution moving forward. I mean while the small scottish island colonsay was lucky enough to avoid the coronavirus pandemic and locals want to keep it that way by making sure its doors to tourists remain firmly shut however thats not the view of the islands wealthy n. No. The spirit we want to protect our community. Is maybe hard to imagine what a Small Community it is theres only about 100 people that live here full time in. The. Scottish government have a responsibility. And we have the opportunity to say no. We really miss a lot of the tourists that we have on column c. On my island been coming 3 years and years and years i know my whole life and i miss them enormously in order to still have the island and the island experience we need to protect the residents of the island and if that means slowing down today or another couple of months. From now is the coronavirus restrictions in the u. K. Are gradually being lifted stomach something feel the need to be cautious still the Public Inquiry into the ground fell tragedy has barred any members of the public from attending the much delayed hearing citing concerns well have a look at this story a bit later on in the program. Meanwhile burlingtons Public Transport Companies adopting an unusual approach in a bid to get passengers to wear face masks properly joined the pandemic they hope to ban people from wearing deodorant on the subway in the hope it will encourage people there to cover their faces peter oliver has been sniffing around. Masks and face coverings the rostov accessory of 2020 not exactly a decision driven by function of course but as lock downs of being lifted many people ching their masks not so fast says the government here in berlin who are telling people. To keep covered up were the minimum distance cannot be guaranteed in public life masks are an important and from todays perspective still indispensable means to keep the infection numbers low and to protect our fellow human beings and ourselves so whether on the bus in the subway or in retail the obligation to wear masks should remain the chancellor herself is being seen out and about in a mask when she cant socially distance from others one of the issues to rise from this requirement to wear a mask is the number of people who were not wearing them correctly the 2 main culprits seem to be the chin muska which basically defeats the point of having a must go on in the 1st place and. The free nose which scene is a mask to be effective has to cover both mouth and nose also render this place pretty useless thats prompted bourbons public transport provider to get creative when it comes to convincing passengers to cover up correctly and its voters that leave their noses exposed that theyre targeting through one of the great commuter bug bears im talking of course about the smell of a passengers bill in public transport our form when it comes to their advertising during fashion week theyve joked around the citys head in a stick reputation that theyre happy for passengers to be wearing any clothes at all and that the german capitals public transport would pick you up even when youre. Own mother wouldnt. Do berliners think a lot of people in the german capital a Wearing Masks and doing it correctly i could just go i was just i am a tourist here from dusseldorf and here in berlin there are not so many mosques compared to decide or where we had more rules something that. But i think in berlin definitely its sufficient it depends on the country and the culture but here in berlin it works pretty good it depends on the location on public transport it works well but sometimes people do not wear it properly. 90 percent of the correct way. Germans have to learn. It. Because we get fined or be go to put them on properly since honestly i dont think that most of the people are wearing the right but sometimes you see them doing this that makes no sense but most are doing it right. Just as far as i can see most are Wearing Masks the some of them are not doing it right you can see the nose sticking out but on public transport most are wearing it. Without a vaccine corona is going to be with us for a while yet and as long as it is the masks on the face coverings whether we like it are not going to be part of our daily lives these are all of our r. T. Now a new scandal is brewing over election meddling although for a change is not russia that is being blamed the president of the European Commission is under fire over a recent vote in croatia made claims that she did breach the code of conduct commission officials. As more on the story. When you hear the phrase meddling in an election i bet your 1st thought is a war rushed. To now because that is course is the kind of accusation that makes the headlines whether or not the facts are there to support it but when the European Commission president is it who is of red ling in the state election oh youve not heard about but one well i see let me bring you up to speed ursula delay and has found herself in a bit of a sticky wicket after she was accused of not just poking her nose in the Corporation Elections but also indorsing the ruling party she had not heard of. Critics say the boy appearing in this video bombed elaine has broken a huge to boot here she is one of the most recognizable female politicians in the world essentially telling croatians to vote for the Croatian Democratic Union party and thats led to her being reported to the european for breach of the code of conduct for commissioners under such a code code of conduct for the members of the European Commission e. U. Commission is must abstain from making public statements or interventions on behalf of any Political Party of which they are members on this they are for expressed. To the president of the e. U. Commission the rationale for such a prohibition is to prevent conflict of interest between the e. U. Commission is to enforce. These of the Member States and then National Political allegiances now a spokesperson for the e. U. Commission has tried to blame this on a mistake the president recorded a short soundbite for use in a video involving a number of European Peoples Party politicians it was meant as a contribution in her personal capacity regrettably. This was not made clear in the final version of the video but thats not appeasing everyone some say that she should be sanctioned. You should know that this violated the e. U. Commission code of conduct. And should for the now when voted to lend became the Commission President she laid down her own rules values for europeans to live by and that included this our democratic systems and institutions have come increasingly under attack in recent years from those who wish to divide and destabilize our union we need to do more to protect ourselves from external interference seems she missed the part out about internal influence over hat thats ok and it seems that just more in the case is this is not the 1st time the volm delay has been accused of putting or in where it snot to 3 years ago when she was just germanys defense minister it was poland that was on the receiving end of influence on a tool she said it was important to support the healthy democratic resistance over the young generation in that country now polands former foreign minister was a less than pleased calling the colemans evidence of german politicians interfering in the internal affairs of his country now this is not the only scandal to hit her since her election vonda lay in has been under pressure over accusations that she may have destroyed evidence on her smartphones that was relating to lucrative contracts awarded during her time as the German Defense minister so with these latest accusations of meddling now swirling around it seems that 2020 is not vul delay in ca so that we all see paris. Political commentators believe the saga wont have much of an impact within. Its a pretty big mistake on their. Own thing thered be many consequences always doing to the law the consequences the car the car to one the elections are being your position god you very much so i dont know whos going to live up for that i mean you know all this is. Going to say that she was acting as a member of this e. U. Which is about the of the higher than its later that i do about the incident. I dont think she should have done that and people may kiss a ball that in any kids is meddling is not that important because none of the opening in this endeavor and under that if to those of the your opinion. Is that this is one of the Commission Also so the meddling is fairly there other than the people of the party was when the election. Still to come donald trump is feeling the heat at the moment hes being pressured to reveal whether he was preferred about reports russia allegedly paid bank tese the taliban to kill u. S. Troops in afghanistan but it seems being grilled about briefings is becoming a tried and tested tactic in u. S. Politics well have the details on this path of the story just after the break. Join me every 1st week on the alex im im sure ill be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business im sure business ill see you there. Hello again our lawmakers and democrats in particular have demanding that donald trump answers questions on the alleged russian bank hes on u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan which were said to have been paid to the taliban officials claim that the matter was outlined in a written briefing to the u. S. President in late february but trump denies any knowledge of that and hes not the 1st american leader either to be embroiled in arguments about the information they have received although this time the sides have switched. What the president has done with his complicit silence hes absolutely aiding our enemy president trying to get briefed in march and his response to that is nothing what his fundamental focus is is not the security of our forces but whether he looks like he wasnt paying attention just months before the president ial election trump is taking heat from all sides over unverified reports that russia offered bounties for the killing of american troops in afghanistan but thats more or less old news already the focus is no longer whether or not that is in fact true but whether or not trump knew about it and did nothing and the hubbub surrounding that question is tugging at the memories of anyone who has a political Attention Span longer than an election cycle the president today got 4 pinocchios on his story and been gazi least seen another page turn in this chapter of cover up and now if you station by this administration this thing has more holes than in swiss cheese the previous accountability review board said that the secretary will personally get involved she did not know thats all from obamas time in office when 4 americans were killed in libya in 2012 better known as the benghazi attack in the wake of that the republicans began a crusade 1st against Obamas Administration even gaining access to his daily briefings not long before midterm elections mind you and then later used the tragedy to take shots at Hillary Clinton who was secretary of state at the time of the attack when while she was running for president were not trying to belittle the severity of these 2 separate issues and theres been a quiet bipartisan push both times for the truth but only to a certain extent see the trend at the end listen just a geisha is begin and the countless committees be forn because politics this is really a political exercise in a cynical attempt to far up the g. O. P. Base before the midterm elections this november this committee is nothing more than a political hit job on Hillary Clinton a full investigation. Those in that house the senate we also want to look into this issue of whether the president was briefed on this how can you run an administration where something this important is not brought to your level something is very wrong here but this must have an answer and the republicans are just as guilty of doing the exact same thing long live Party Loyalty theres so much about this. Incident call benghazi that we dont know the refusal of the white house to prioritize anything related to the investigation the white house did more to obscure what happened then what we were loads of to believe that i have seen and have heard shows no corroboration reported on on verified and inconclusive intelligence i cant imagine briefing the press the night states about this allegation given the nature of the intelligence bipartisanship isnt reserved for capitol hill the Mainstream Media play the same cards with trump that their rivals did with obama. Trumps reelection is on the line so its likely this story will be played out to the very end just like any other piece of negative press his opponents can get their hands on something that should have been disregarded and would have been disregarded had not been of course passed along to adam schiff or to the New York Times in order to hurt political purposes is just another attempt to revitalize the already dead and bleeding corpse of the trump russia collusion hoax narrative we have to start wondering now why we seem to have these rogue elements or this other or other kind of power government that has no shape no face no name. It seems to be calling the shots within certain factions of the us cia for political purposes for political underpinnings because this is the same branch this piece of intelligence regarding at and stand in the taliban hes a legit russian downeys year was shown to be uncorroborated and unsubstantiated. That the u. S. Secretary of state might pompei or has praised britain from forcing sanctions against 25 russian citizens accused of Human Rights Violations that as the socalled magnitsky amendment came into force in the u. K. On monday 2 years after being adopted khaled Market Reports so we have a new statement from the u. S. State department praising the United Kingdom for imposing sanctions on governments that are accused of violating human rights the sanctions regime oxidant inning of a new era for u. K. Sanctions policy and cooperation between our 2 democracies the u. K. Global human rights sanctions regime will give the u. K. A powerful new economic tool to promote accountability for human rights abuses on a global scale a new for u. K. Sanctions policy and cooperation between london and washington mr pompei o calls it however the world is quite aware that within the United States the human rights situation is not exactly rosy. And its not just violence in the streets amid an ongoing crisis us human rights organizations have actually reached out to the united nations. Together with the families of george floyd Briana Taylor flanders steele and Michael Brown were demanding the un investigate Police Killings of black people and Violent Attacks on protesters in the United States actually who they helped him execute to help me. Help black people in america now you might call this a single case but it comes amid years of knowledge of u. S. Government spying and the detention of people without charges that get mobbed as well as the case of julian a songe extradited to the United StatesJulian Assange is could face up to life in prison that case has been dubbed a huge attack on freedom of the press the words of u. K. Leaders Global Britain will be a force for good in the world come across as highly disingenuous its as if the fact that the founder of wiki leaks is sitting in belmarsh prison has simply left their minds hypocrisy is a you know something that pm at a state has very good at so you know were seeing a lot of human rights abuses right now its a long list you know we still have people in guantanamo today were seeing peaceful protest smashed and almost weekly basis were killing people with drones and. Even and that goes back to obama when he approved even killing americans with thrones the idea that we would be standing as pillars of righteousness on human rights is really absurd despite blatant hypocrisy the leaders of the United States and the United Kingdom have not given up one of their longstanding habits trashing the rest of the world with human rights rhetoric while ignoring their own shortcomings caleb martin r. C. New york. Now after 3 years of delays and Public Inquiry into the tragedy felt tally. In london is finally under way the inferno at the block of flats which claimed 72 lives was initially caused by a faulty fridge however the brazen blaze quickly spread upward engulfing the entire building initial investigations discovered that the outside cladding which had recently been renovated was extremely flammable Fire Services at the scene roof so criticized for not ordering residents to evacuate 3 years now after the tragedy a Public Inquiry will question key figures involved however all members of the public have been barred from the hearing concerns the decision has angered many of the survivors and the families of the victims who insist on being part of the process. The Community Need to be safe however they need to be put at the heart that they really didnt have this issue and need to be put at the heart of this inquiry and it has been possible for the inquiry theyve got a number of months to actually organize something which allows what they call limited Access Limited Access meaning actually different believed families and survivors would have been able to attend that inquiry been appropriately socially distance grieved and survivors have been the whole community weve got 3 years now of a limbo you know and we need to have a level of truth and accountability because its having a massive impact on peoples mental health.
