Including london become ghost towns. Have your company day here in moscow this is arctic. Condolences are being sent from all over the world to lebanon or a devastating explosion ripped through the capital the nations in mourning as the catastrophe has claimed the lives of at least 100 people and left more than 4000 others injured according to the countrys red cross. These are live pictures for you from beirut and you can see there are still plenty of smoke in the skyline above the city almost nothing is left of what was a once bustling port area the blast destroyed there by buildings and caused chaos right across the lebanese capital. Yes. Given the large number of people injured hospitals are under immense strike in facilities already dealing with the Coronavirus Crisis were quickly filled beyond the capacity they should place for blood donations and for generators to keep the lights going heres some firsthand accounts from people who experience the shockwave of the blocks. Or you might die know the sun we felt a boom everything turned over our heads i was the common my being it was the t. V. Im leaving im not from over on me the wardrobe also follow my daughter injured and she needs a surgery now. That was the. Cause of her was. Not me it was calls not heard the sound of the airplane so by our house leaving the op of florida dont you know the heart just turns from airplanes and suddenly the song for us next season from its close and Everything Else read it so what is sleep. I was moving and itself like an earthquake looked around and we still shouted if you. Spoke with a journalist out of our might whos in beirut and went to the site of the blast for us. Well since the Early Morning hours and throughout last night the Lebanese Army and Fire Fighters have been still trying to put off the fire which is until today burning through the remains of the warehouses at the ports of these city of beirut the lebanese president michel own has announced 2 weeks emergency state of emergency in beirut today were expecting an emergency session to be held at the lebanese cabinet were expecting a lot of decisions and sacking of poor officials who are accused of negligence and thats had a lot to do cummings had a lot to do with why this entire situation took the turn it did yesterday rescue workers are still trying to dig through the rubble to find the remainder or the missing individuals as well as if they can find more bodies unfortunately we are expecting the death toll is going to continue to rise because of how massive the blast was and because at the top of the ports were the ports in the time of the applause or in the time of the explosion. Explosion happened in the densely populated poor of the city the blast level buildings in the surrounding area the reports of the folks as far afield as cyprus the World Health Organization is sending medical supplies us or a number of countries to support a slip picks up the story the countrys Prime Minister has said that the cause of the explosion was 2700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate that was stored in a way house he said he would reveal facts about the way house but he wouldnt do so now because he did not want to preempt an official investigation thats under way in hospitals to report on the state of chaos we know that theyve been turning people away theyve simply been unable to cope with the huge number of wounded and injured they are calling for blood donations and also with generators to keep the lights going. All of this comes as the moving the Supreme Defense Council recommended to clearing a disaster stricken city theyre also calling for 2 weeks of National Emergency the military have now taken control of the security on the streets were also hearing that the lebanese government has made available 100000000000 lebanese pounds in emergency funding to assist those who has been affected the Prime Minister says that they will find that those all those responsible and bring them to book so that i will not rest until we find the person responsible for what happened so we can hold them to account and impose the most severe punishment its unacceptable to the shipment of 2700 Ammonium Nitrate has been present of 6 years in a warehouse without any preventative measures now the lebanese government has asked for assistance theres a host of countries who have responded saying that they sending both humanitarian and or medical aid amongst them. The United States the United Kingdom qatar iran and france we are hearing from the american President Donald Trump who says that this looks like a terrible attack which is a statement that contradicts contradicts the official words that we hear coming from lebanese officials let me begin by sending americas deepest sympathies to the people of lebanon where reports indicate that many many people were killed and i met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel that it was this was not a some kind of a manufacturing. Explosion type of event this was a seems to be according to them they would know better than i would but they seem to think it was a attack it was a bomb of some kind yes now and none of those countries who have been offering assistance are as well this is despite the fact that the 2 countries are technically at war we have heard from really countrys foreign minister been guns saying that their party mediators have been approached and israel has. Offered humanitarian assistance no word as of yet what has been the response from lebanon on all of this comes as an Emergency Security Cabinet Meeting is due to be held in the lebanese capital this morning it comes as both israel and his blood deny any kind of involvement there has been speculation as to what caused the blast at this stage the official word from lebanon is lets wait until the investigation is concluded. But the country already going through tough Economic Times its feared the tragedy with the financial situation we spoke to experts about the possible impact. With the ground shaking turned into all the windows kind of blowing at the same time some sort of pressure and explosion and its like nothing ive ever experienced and since then ive been around the city and everything i mean no building is left untouched the level of devastation is shocking and the best i can come up with a shocking cant even describe to like everybody is homes are damaged right now the rich and the poor lebanon spend experiencing some of their worst economic crisis in a year or so and this still major port just stare connection to the world and its been largely destroyed apparently there was food shipments also destroyed i mean this is an incredible tragedy. A lot of Economic Justice they will need a system built up or quickly i dont see how. You know folks in the government itself. How they will be held accountable. Just see. On fathom that just sort of think that. Theres a lot of conflicting information right now some from the interior ministry have said that it was stored there on the africa others including the Prime Ministers that it was stored there for 6 years in any case whatever the case may be. The responsible party of course should be held to account what youre likely to see here unfortunately is the game of sort of passing the buck from one official to the next with nobody really wanting to step up and take responsibility for this before this explosion took place logan was in need. Of assistance of aid of a proper Reform Program there are multiple issues built on top of one another and this explosion and the devastation that is raw and turned in lives and destruction infrastructure in such groups is sort of the cherry on top so to speak so ultimately though. Its lebannon needs is a proper Reform Program it needs a cash injection. From the outside in order to to release funds to people so that they can actually get the economy moving again so as you can see theres compound issues here which make dressing this particular issue very challenging. The Economic Impact of the corona virus is becoming increasingly apparent in the u. K. With london taking a hefty hit from the pandemic with near empty streets and workplaces its predicted the capital could lose almost 190000000 pounds a month and 2021 and its fair that london will remain a ghost town for some time yet so the Edwards Daschle has. So the lockdown in london is easing it certainly doesnt feel like it the financial and Business District the heart of the city is usually overcrowded and bustling but now it looks like a ghost town even though the governments pleas to get people back into the office i want people to go back to what. The people should be. Trying to have to saying that Boris Johnson left downing street and set off a checkers his country retreat so much for leading by example and while the government gave employees the right to order stuff back into the office Many Companies are not rushing into that decision but can you blame them when the u. K. Is the worst hit by the coronavirus in europe and considering the governments mantra for months was strictly to stay at home stay at home folks stay at home. And sign for being the countrys economic engine pulling in commuters by the millions london is also the capital of entertainment with plenty of things to do and places to eat but this 24 hour city now seems to be in a. Feels like it could have a very strong. Has been previously a lot of people i knew very comfortable working at home so they want to go back to work in offices of engineering and get back to normal its going to take a while with london stood in a partial shutdown thats expected to have a devastating impact on the entire economy its business is scared off by this if the potential labor force either doesnt come or goes home if people dont think london is where they want to live and hence fail to attract new businesses the effect on londons g. D. P. Could be a huge multiple of this a huge chunk of the workforce at lloyds h. S. B. C. And barclays are expected to work from home until at least september and google are not west group also allowing employees to work from mostly until 2021 with many of the Tech Companies also following suit its now predicted that in 2021. The new normal will be about 30 percent of london based employees still working from home on any one day that would equate to around 178000000 pounds lost on other things like after work drinks cups of tea stationery and other Office Equipment each month its pretty staggering stats even despite the governments latest eat out to help out initiative offering discounts on meals to kickstart the hospitality sector this moment is unique we need to be creative so to get customers back into restaurants cafes and parks and protect the 1800000 people who work in them i can announce today that for the month of august we will give everyone in the country and each town to help out discount its offers diners 50 percent off meals up to a maximum of 10 pounds per head courtesy of the taxpayer and is the latest of a series of government efforts to tackle soaring unemployment but its unclear whether or not popular schemes like this one will be enough to rescue the economy especially when the expected 2nd wave of the coronavirus hits shuttered r. T. In london. Meanwhile employers in the u. K. You know are required to contribution towards covering the load workers salaries staff are entitled to up to 80 percent of their normal salary that doesnt sit well with some employers who are footing the bill the owner of the u. K. s largest Plumbing Firm Pimlico Plumbers says that some of the stuff have been let go for refusing to return to work Charlie Mullen says it out of the governments furlough scheme claiming some workers are taking advantage of it to collect pay without working over half of workers furloughed during the log have been returning to work but millions more of those at home surely were installed as his side of the story. You could look at there you want to look just. You know that. Was all very much. So well and you know then assign. A splendid song on the fate that no baldwin about such should be since in a weeks you said come up we release you know theyre not ready to go back so well if were going to stop the 80 percent close to morrow theyd be at the polling data if you could change anything valid reason not chicagos well then ill go with the commonwealth then plate and of course a needle you know and we need to call often and the people im talking about younger people just dont buy it surely they dont want to come to the state given night she percent of the whitefish style its the simplest you know just question that these are all subsets will be cities and unfortunately the system is not just one among locals but in general what bad experience. With the virus infections on the rise in france many of blaming young people for the such a long long time to the stories after the break. All across the board trump is down in the polls and not just by a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win reelection but this time around it is a very strong and lets be clear this has little to do with joe biden how we. Welcome back top scientific bodies warning a 2nd wave of corona virus will likely hit the country following the summer restrictions were recently tightened with masks now obligatory outdoors in the worst hit areas young people though are among those whove been flouting the measure and are widely being blamed for the surge in cases. Explains now the fault may lie elsewhere. The greek philosopher aristotle once said that young people aha it mind it because they have not yet been humbled by life thousands of years later and little seems to have changed when there is a problem the finger is often pointed at the perceived source the youth as front sees an increase in the number of covert cases and a rise in hospital admissions this age old blame game continues. The boy. Instead of being huddled at home in socially isolated bubbles since lockdown ended in france many young people have decided to party thats shocked some and that the World Health Organization to issue a warning young people you are not invincible young people can be infected young people can die. Only young people can transmit the virus to others so when one french Infectious Disease expert suggested this i believe more and more that they should be allowed to infect each other provided they dont visit parents and grandparents otherwise young people will be a reservoir of contamination and we will end up with an unimaginable epidemic by letting them contaminate themselves they will participate in collective immunity you could almost hear the gospel of horror. Young people go to the bakery the baker is not necessarily the go to the poor mysie they meet people of all kinds so this is really a totally wrong idea but hold your horses after investigating frances clusters of covert that National Health agency has made a rather startling discovery apparently its not the youth and them ask 3 socially packed parties that are the biggest source of contamination here would you believe it its actually the office of the 147. 00 cost is currently under investigation more than a quarter of them can be traced back to the workplace social gatherings and thats all social gatherings and not just parties only account for 13 percent of clusters well just seeing your extended family accounts for almost the same number of clusters with the facts clearly on display what the people in paris make of them so its very easy to point your finger at the youth. But i think its its kind of both ways because now that im hearing this its are easy for me to put my finger at the elderly so i dont think it does matter who does it just like that its happening and we have to be very careful and for me it is really her like if its us or if its them. Fact i think theyre right its. Also facts are all the people who are working despite some of them are going to be carrying the virus and so it is going to spread faster even if we young people who decide to stay at home and not go to work will so unless you intend to stay in the bubble best not to point the finger or the bubble might burst pretty quickly so its even ski r. T. Paris. Understand to National Reporter there were 125 cases of Police Violence against demonstrators during the 1st 10 days of the black lives matter protests in the u. S. Thank you beatings and the misuse of purpose spray tear gas projectiles during the protests that there have been growing calls to defund even to dismantle Police Departments a number of americas Largest Companies are expressed solidarity with the bellamy of mint that are facing a backlash over their support to the police and the morgan explains. Statements and social media campaigns companies all over the world getting on board with black lives matter but critical observers have smelled hypocrisy from day one these companies which rely on extraction exploitation to secure their profits have an incentive to form tight bonds with Police Forces which functions to up hold and protect their interests in the face of Community Opposition in many states these companies go so far as to back laws to criminalize protests of dirty Energy Projects such as pipelines openly weaponized in the police and criminal Justice System to protect the profits of the fossil fuel industry and the banks to fund them the chief of j. P. Morgan took a knee to support the protesters Marathon Petroleum was unequivocal in their words Marathon Petroleum corporation stands firmly against racism intolerance and hate of any kind commemorating the ending of slavery in the us is one way were encouraging learning and empathetic dialogue. Among our employees chevron has spoken up to racism and brutality have no place in america yet these incidents timika inequality in treatment for no reason other than the color of skin is a stain American Society has not yet a raised we reject systemic racism we support diversity equity and inclusion but one of the key demands of the protesters is defund the police believe. Do you think you see a bear move. Do you think he was right to say that if a new give me a report from the Public Accountability Initiative reveals that fossil fuel and Utility Companies as well as Financial Institutions have been contributing to Law Enforcement for years j. P. Morgan chase is an official corporate partner of the police the bank has given 4600000. 00 to the new York City Police foundation was was. Was Police Foundations across the country in places like chicago philadelphia and new york city have been showered with corporate money money from the same corporations such as marathon wells fargo and j. P. Morgan that now claim suddenly they are woke furthermore these companies sponsor events and dollars that celebrate the police and remind the public that police power is backed up by Corporate Power it looks very good to shell out money in the name of equality but will money speak louder than words when companies claim to support black lives matter but then fund the police i think. Theyre placing wagers in bets on all sides. That is to say that im sure these Petroleum Companies they feel that Police Departments their products and they believe that black lives matter. Buy their products as well however i think that those of us in the movement see this as hypocritical we see this as inconsistent and i think ultimately it could backfire against these corporations i think its certainly a p. R. Moment and none of us will fall why it and that is to say it takes more then 2 months of sympathetic statements and postings one. Worth an ugly history. Get up and survive up to date thanks staying with our international from a finale. Around though plenty more coming on the top stories and ill find out. We go to work. Straight home. By mash and return and see and youre watching a very special lockdown edition of going underground because we have on todays show all of us started one of the greatest filmmakers whole time all over thanks so much for coming on your coming on a stand simply for chasing the lights your new memoir tell me 1st of all why that phrase chasing the live n. P. R. Has to mean so much in so many different ways so important to your life looks good to be a burka should set a world. Where i dont know why you said in a sense that were going to hope that stays a bit. Its called chasing life because. For the simple reason that in the movies the last get in that last shot sometimes is that is death life or death for a film and for me ive been running after that light wind when the sun sets in the afternoon d Late Afternoon or early evening you dont have any more like to shoot or you have to go to artificial light which is no good for me so im always running to get there west lets say its 4 oclock 6 oclock in the afternoon and the light is falling i have 3 shots i want to get to finish the scene if i dont get them i cant i have to rethink the scene quickly it puts me under maximum pressure the kind of movies i mean there shot were low budget most of them were pretty tight on the budgets always so i didnt have a lot of days to move fast it was the opposite of Stanley Kubrick if you want you mentioned life and death because in this book its very apparent that after painting as amazing they were a man take a picture of your parents and their meeting in the shadow of world war 2 you literally seem to be almost suicidal in your desire. For it too far to say for death of the being rejected for an all to enlist i explain that in detail it was very painful for me i havent. Lived a magical life for 15 years in new york and in france my mother was french my father was a soldier colonel in world war 2 in mary it was a beautiful but here they never belong together they were. Im the product of that its a contradictory relationship between 2 people that has haunted my whole life and by writing the book i understood myself better as being torn between these 2 and im the child of that divorce and i try to write about what a child of divorce is like he sees the world in a different way he sees the world as a lie i mean what people are saying about themselves is often a lie as we know from governments as well so i grew into. A young man who was very troubled and you have to admit adolescents are not in those days were not they didnt give them space we were not
