Leaving millions homeless question rates continue to soar in the country. Were looking at just about thousands tens of thousands of families and there has not been a response in terms of how we will try to force opening back up in people face to addictions. Youre watching R T International bringing your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. The Chinese Foreign ministry has accused the us of violating International Law by breaking into its consulate in houston and is about to retaliate american agents were seen forcing their way through the back door right after chinese officials were required to vacate the building the raid happened on friday doesnt trump order the closure. Earlier in the week accusing beijing of stealing intellectual property all the Justice Department claimed consular staff for obstructing an investigation meanwhile in the chinese city of chengdu the american consulate has been shut down in a tit for tat measure and a man who was seen to can trash bags out of the building. In a related development a chinese researcher has been arrested in San Francisco is accused of not disclosing her military affiliations and her visa application is one of 4 visiting researchers who have recently been accused of these are fraud facing has condemned the crackdown and urged the United States to stop harassing Chinese Students and researchers from a quarter looks at the ongoing us collision since the 1970 s. Us Foreign Policy is used more honey than vinegar and its dealings with beijing china has definitely changed as a result but not exactly the way washington wanted it to you know the world was much different than we imagine think each man with china would produce a future with bright promise of comedy and cooperation. But today today were all still wearing mask and watching the pandemics body count rise because the c. C. P. Failed in its promises to the world if we want to have a free 21st century and not the chinese century of which dreams. The old paradigm of blinding gauge with china simply wont get it done a pale speech seems to have a lot in common with that of Winston Churchills when he declared an iron curtain had descended across europe dividing it into soviet and western spheres it was the beginning of the cold war and with pomp ails us against them rhetoric another cold war between the u. S. And china may be brewing this isnt about containment dont buy that. Its about a complex new challenge that weve never faced before. The u. S. S. R. Was closed off from the free world communist china is already within our borders washingtons hostile stance is no doubt part of a recent pitfall in sino you. Relations while ways banned in the u. S. Accusations of tech that disputes in the South China Sea its all reminding experts of a warning former president Richard Nixon made decades ago we must cultivate jointed during the next few decades want it is learning to develop its National Strength and potential otherwise we will one day be confronted with the most familiar blue enemy that has ever existed in the history of the world unfortunately for washington nixon was right when he was president china was still an economically backwards country with its eyes on Rapid Development fast forward to the present and the communist parties accomplished much of what it set out to do its lifted millions out of abject poverty it led the country to what looks like a quick recovery from the cove in 1000 pandemic and it doesnt seem willing to stop in the face of washington statements. Which ignore facts enough of ideological bias and cold woman telling our hodgepodge of political lies intensively made recently by senior u. S. Officials accusations of human rights abuses authoritarian name calling even labeled china system a new tyranny it does all sound a bit crusade but then again its nothing new in americas Foreign Policy playbook the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match pressers regimes an ideology the forces of oppression to tallaght terror in ism and domination well despite the trumpet ministrations best efforts the socalled troika of tyranny is still around even where u. S. Backed regime change was successful its still no walk in the park in iraq the government is basically powerless to combat militias that see it as a us puppet and in countries where the u. S. Failed like venezuela its a huge waste of taxpayer money china though is a lot more powerful and with u. S. Allies unwilling to get behind this new strategy pompei all might need to rethink his approach because. Kota work has already. Started and i actually in my opinion the show corners code to work between china and the america has never stopped or in the past or 3 decades because the United States has never stopped or in the way of thinking of cold war talk there wouldnt be culkin thinking about the china the whole world is a very clear which country which at the ministry is more terror in the world in the war definitely special extra distributed a key question that for many people to understand i think the United States would be really to run need there too and truly in interference in the other countries you take our fish. Theres been another sound off between protesters and federal forces in the u. S. City of portland things got violent when people marched on the federal courthouse where they were met with tear gas and rubber bullets. Federal forces were sent in earlier this week by the president to quell antiracism protests some residents and Business Owners complained their city has been turned into a war zone more than a dozen u. S. Mayors most of them democrats have voiced alarm over the federal crackdown and the u. N. Is now voicing concern over the heavy handed security response. Peaceful demonstrations that have been taking place in cities in the us such as portland really must be able to continue with. Beaten them ill say the people reporting and the journalists risk an arbitrary arrest of the taschen being subject to unnecessary disproportionate or discriminatory use of force or suffering other violations of the your rights since the riots started in portland 18 people have been arrested on charges including arson and vandalism we heard from locals about the situation but youre right that the credit card i think drum circles were given a cause which can really last 30 or. 3335 that this horrible i mean this president was just hit in the right with the rubber bullet that night tonight. Just like he. Was out there. We. Revert to speech. Angry protests across greece have followed the reopening of pious afia as a mosque on friday the former museum held its 1st muslim prayers and the saloniki orthodox protesters burnt turkish flags circulate a rebuke to the greek authorities for allowing the burning of the National Symbol demonstrators marched on the countrys consulate in the city and chanted slogans condemning the recent version is what some of them have say. That this is a totally barbaric and uncivilized turning heise of fear into a mosque this actually goes against all of the docs people this is not troy its from the turkish because they have the your churches to pray to thier god. Fridays prayers crowds of worshippers who filled the nearby square president was also in attendance run by senior officials the turkish leader participated in the service and recited verses from the koran he then expected expressed his delight at the reconversion. This is been a yearning since our youth we used to say let the chains break in highest afia open as a mosque weve ended an 86 year period highness of fear has now returned to its essence it was a mosque and its a mosque again. There has been some back and forth in the history of highest sophia originally it was built by the eastern roman empire as a cathedral then it became a mosque after the ottoman conquest and i 935 it was converted into a museum but earlier this month turkey transformed it back into a mosque and i discussed that uplifts a former greek ambassador to canada believes the change in sofia status is a matter of turkish domestic policy. Well i think that he was doing it all maybe also for internal reasons because his popularity is dropping now in turkey because of the economic crisis and also my pressured is that he is trying to put down. That work the founder of modern turkey so this is an attack also against the demolished regime in turkey so basically its an its an internal problem that has International Ramifications i dont think that he cares anything about statements being done the only thing that she might care would be if concrete measures were taken like the e. U. Taking sanctions against against turkey for violating International Law and violating that very real integrity of 2 of its Member States which is greece and cyprus we must not forget that the e. U. Has taken sanctions against russia for reasons much less. And which which i personally dont dont agree with them have yet it refuses or the moment to take sanctions against turkey. In england Face Coverings are now mandatory and all public spaces as however has really raised the question of who should monitor compliance as some shop owners are saying they will not enforce the new rule or u. K. Corresponding is alie reports provide a its now mandatory for people in england to wear a face mask when theyre going to Shop Supermarket for the guard to pick up the livery now were going to go on to the streets of london to try to see what the public thinks they should have done behold crane virus point to lock down the fact theyre trying to run people a 100 pounds. And probably money out of Peoples Health just that the high poverty picture of government. I think we should have been implementing from the beginning now i think its import. Survive readies was because i think theres a lot of science that goes behind coming up with these rules most of the shops that i went into werent really forcing the rules those that were just said that they would recommending people to wear masks to cover their faces now many of those shop workers dont want to be enforcing those rules because they fear aggression and backlash from certain members of the public if they were to try to make people wear masks with hundreds of incidents of violence and abuse directed at retail staff every day we welcomed their announcement that in force meant to be left to their thoughts rather than potentially put in hard working retail colleagues in harms way if. Someone refuses to wear a face mask probably we can kindly asked him to relief but as to enforcing it its not viable it will be certain people would be upset about it. And indeed the most controlling parts of us also as well is our weekend in force of we dont always encourage people to have it but. God knows how rude and sort of the government of said that those who refuse to wear face masks when going into shops could be fined up to 100. 00 pounds should an individual without an exemption refuse to wear a Face Covering a shop can refuse them entry and can call the police if people refuse to comply the police have formal Enforcement Powers and can issue a fine and the police dont seem to be too keen either saying that making them in force that is both unrealistic and unfair policing the wearing of Face Coverings in shops cant be a priority because we simply dont have the resources to expect my colleagues to be policing the supermarket aisles looking for those shoppers not wearing a Face Covering is unrealistic and unfair the u. K. Has had one of the worst coronavirus death tolls of any country around the world. There are some who say that these measures all better late than never but many of those who feel that its far too late so far through lights beside the all to see on the. Still ahead and the vixen band brought in for the pandemic expires in the us with many fearing there will now be thrown onto the streets as among our stories after this break. Join me every thursday on the alex simon short and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back people in the far eastern russian city of hama are protesting for a 3rd consecutive weekend in support of their former governor 75 ago was arrested earlier this month on allegations of ordering murders 15 years ago are days my biggest if has more. 7 tons those away in the region of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean there are very different opinions on the entire affair the entire case of sergei for go he was arrested on very serious charges and this was a high profile arrest the suspicion of organizing the kidnapping in the mud multiple entrepreneurialism and this case is divided russians all over the country the official statistics that weve heard is 6500 people attending this demonstration unofficial reports going up 220000 people are still angry they demand the dismissal of these cases a little i went out into the streets because i could not take it anymore im boiling over and sat with support for girl who want justice to prevail i dont like the political situation in the country i am dissatisfied with our government and officials it is a simple as that society has matured to the point of expressing its indignation about what is happening in the far east sygate for god himself has maintained his innocence throughout and says he looks forward to the investigation against the being brought to an end he is also enjoyed a lot of popularity street. Reputation as a governor who cares a governor who has an ear open to the concerns of constituents and says hes made a habit of dressing down very publicly officials that have either been incompetent busy. You know saudi work is temporary replacement we heil dictator of hasnt been welcomed with open arms protests to say that he doesnt belong he has no ties to the region and that you know that much prefer old government nevertheless the new governor says hes there to stay and hes going to do a good job going. Lets respect each other lets Work Together as ive been doing for food days in the governors office. All of your complaints are taken into account so that all government bodies work smoothly i will spend the weekend on a trip around. Still the new governor and protesters are at loggerheads because the protesters who gather in these huge crowds they say here is refuse to come out to speak with them to engage with them which is signs of of week this fear even selves as the waste that there is a lot to be done that the big show everything runs smoothly that there is a shrewd transition in the years advise the protesters to the stop with their needless and meaningless protests that instead devote their energy and enthusiasm to volunteer work for example. Rallies have also taken place here in moscow in solidarity with the protests and how about us according to local media police have arrested between 15 and 40 people at an authorized gathering this in the center of the capital the activists were on their way to the russian Prosecutor Generals Office to submit a petition and support for. The chief of a u. K. Arts charity has accused British Museums of being hypocritical in their support of the black lives Matter Movement al francis says these institutions should 1st relinquish items in their collections taken by force from africa he spoke to r. T. Youve got to clean up your own house before you start to the other people in response to it its contradictory. To note dont go home issue. Colonial profanity and also theyre not content. With what. Ive. Seen incompatible to me. Those comments come after several high profile galleries and museums responded to the black lives Matter Movement with words of support the British Museum director for example wrote a blog post last month saying the institution stands in solidarity with black people throughout the world but the British Museum itself has been under pressure for years to return works are of art looted from former colonies these include the ben and bronzes taken by british soldiers from nigeria the greek parthenon marbles and Easter Island statue u. K. Legislation currently prevents National Institutions from returning looted items in their collections except in the case of art stolen during the nazi era but a British Museum spokesperson said the institution is working on changes when it comes to displaying the objects and is being open about the history of the collections well francis again says its not enough. The role of news e. M. C. Is being called into question and also the means by which their collections have been assembled is being questioned theres quite a lot of documentation about how these objects campaign into the possession of the museum so we need to know is whether or not it was taken with consent when asking for a new kind of music that is more humanitarian and pays greater attention to human rights. In the u. S. And a vision ban meant to soften the blow of the Coronavirus Crisis has expired putting millions of americans at risk of losing their homes it comes as the daily infection rate shows little sign of slowing down in the country artist has more. With the United States hit harder than any other nation by the coronavirus things to be getting worse with Many Americans becoming a lot more vulnerable very soon after the eviction ban is lifted millions of americans who are renters who live in buildings with mortgages backed by the government could soon be out on the streets here in new york the record trends of folks that were applying for temporary housing in the. Shelter system more than what we had seen and many many missing years and there has not been a response in terms of how we will address of course opening back up with people facing eviction so were looking at just about thousands tens of thousands of families and households facing homelessness many for the 1st time in their lives now aside from the huge social shock this is also a Public Health emergency all of those whove been turned out of their homes will huddle together with relatives or seek shelter when kobe 19 was at its peak it was a fight to try to get our elected officials to understand that folks need to be isolated and wanted to keep them safe from covert 19 so we found that a lot of our homeless by this is. What actually a void going into a shelter and knowing that they were overcrowded and you base and for the spread of overnight scene and they would have rather it stay on the street whether that been an incoming web know whether that would have been without the proper resources on the street the pandemic has brought the u. S. Economy to a standstill it appeared that the surge in job losses was subsiding but this past week job loss numbers have been rising once again many fear that the u. S. Economy is too weak to swiftly recover surgery 3000000. 00 americans are officially unemployed now the 600. 00 per week unemployment enhanced meant is currently set to expire it could be extended if congress chooses to do that but it appears thats unlikely at the moment. Unfortunately by all accounts the Senate Republicans are drafting legislation that comes up short in a number of vital areas such as extending Unemployment Benefits or funding for rental assistance has a premium pay for front line workers or investments in communities of color being ravaged by the virus and many other unnecessary provisions the u. S. Senate is currently deadlocked over the economic stimulus bill with many hoping that it will pass in august meanwhile the infection rates in a number of u. S. States are rising and as it appears that a number of americans are on the brink of losing their incomes and their homes the situation in the United States regarding the pandemic is starting to look pretty bleak cable mop and artsy new york thats our roundup of the days top news for now as always thanks for telling him. We go to work so straight home. Syria has been engulfed in civil war for will most 10 years it cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more no one foresaw the peaceful protests of 20 of them is collating into a complex conflict between various armies geopolitical interests rebel groups and jihadists. But as me she. Had a on the on the book on this is the fight of the philosophy you say you hate because i. Was a genius i was your. Best at the shaw look cool and. Let you know deep going to look. Closely at the moment. And over the new has sat down i feel that it never statham is the mother and then the shame what i did i missed that hey get a shot then you. See Janet Jackson the last of the baby boomers are speculating in the nighty ninetys on the birth of companies that went public for the 1st time and they would have these pop. And then there was this enormous crash where the jhansi are speculating on the death of companies and companies that are dying and declared their dead companies and theyre flying plowing their way. Back to lay down on the death of a company. The sudden and illegal takeover of the government by a small group. Rather than revolutionaries also just small groups the operations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back leg police are sacrificing. Places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices were well in that world for well over the world.
