Are going to have you with us midday here in moscow this is our theater. Students across the world are back in class schools of reopened after the summer break but for many face to face learning wont be the same this new school year with anti coronavirus measures being brought in to prevent outbreaks for example in germany recommendations they vary from state to state but they include the use of masks regular disinfection of premises and smaller class sizes in spain temperatures checks are being implemented and entire schools could be quarantined if there is an outbreak while in france schools of focus making sure pupils are washing their hands and the use of masks has been made mandatory for students and teachers lets find out what is happening in russia aunties dont cause side a school in moscow. The going to be a different start to the school year. Good morning neil well yeah its that time of the year again time for students all over the world to go back to school and many of them wont be in virtual classrooms just because of the pandemic here in russia september 1st is a very important day of the year a lot of people get dressed up parents and grandparents take their kids personally back to school but this year the celebrations have actually been canceled because of the relatively large gatherings that usually take place and on top of that not all schools are actually not also not all students are actually going back to physical classrooms parents have the option to keep their school their kids at Remote Learning because a lot of them are still afraid that schools are going to close down anyway after the 1st cough or sneeze these parents wont even be able to go physically to these schools anymore with these new measures classes will begin that abnormal times to keep class sizes low and masts will be mandatory in russian schools even the authorities have said that its still possible that the country will go back to a Remote Learning regime for all now in the u. K. The situation is a bit different measures have already been put in place to keep the 6 students from coming to School Although masks are not mandatory social distancing and keeping minimizing contact between students and anyone in the school is a top priority there but this is these are just a couple of the measures from a long list that have been implemented by the government so far but for months the authorities actually have been trying to convince parents that the schools are safe rather than coming putting together an actual plan to safely reopen those schools actually it was just a couple days before the beginning of school in the u. K. That the government began recommending that students over the age of 11 wear masks in the hallways and public areas it was also at that time the. They said that secondary Students Secondary School students should be able to stay home every other fortnight in the event of a local lockdown so this lot these last minute kind of guidelines have really upset a lot of teachers in the country. Weve been asking for months and months and months was shooting to close down because of all thats been seen as a kind of act of heresy and yet here we all the friday night before a Bank Holiday Weekend the schools get over it really isnt the government funding. And then theres france where the Education Minister has said there shouldnt be any hesitation in sending back the countrys 13000000 students back to School Although he did admit that not all classrooms could be guaranteed to be safe by the time students return to those schools and even president macron said that the country could be facing another lockdown soon because of the fact that the country still facing an exponential rise in the amount of coronavirus cases there and as you could probably imagine teachers in france werent too happy either. As soon as theyll be in contact with one another re going to try and get them to our stair hands but lets not fool ourselves we know that would 25 pupils we want always be able to keep an eye on them. So it seems like here in russia the 1st of september is just as important for the authorities as it is for the students and their parents will life return to normal or will another wave of the coronavirus cause another lock down only time will tell if these dont call for reporting for us thank you. A little earlier i spoke with the wilhelm folded isolations representative to the russian federation. Says that you can never eliminate all risk. You have to say that the schools are part of the Vida Community and they have to be seen so so if there is good control in the Wider Community that ensures quite a lot for the schools and we have to take that into consideration however there is no 0 risk we have to think about that but with the knowledge we have about college over the last practically 8 months 9 and with all the efforts that are being put into place we do believe that this is the right moment of the skill set to move on to return children to schooling but in a safe mode in the beginning of this year then a number of measures have already been announced by various countries and maybe various schools but the most important thing is what to do if a child tests positive or basically if a child develops symptoms or to start as well oh most likely that class to go on here of learning depending on the number of cases in the school who tested positive we have of course learned a lot about the virus but not everything are and the issue about us and to magic a person asked him to have children and spreading and how much and how more remain very very topical it will however require quite a lot of discipline quite a lot of strong capacities for detection and for speed reaction but as i said there is no. Front has seen a spike in cope with 19 cases during august the number of new infections increased on average by a record 3000 a day or fortys to reimpose some protective measures with must compulsory workplaces as of tuesday one sector thats been hit particularly hard by the pandemic is one of frances proudest one production on the show do particular except how its last spoke. It should go hope that this is champagne harvest will be little more than official consumption of champagne is expected to fall by as much. This year and the unprecedented loss of around 1700000000 euros now while champagne great growers have agreed to leave grapes on the vine cutting production by around 20 percent even though efforts may not be enough and there are fears that little can be done to salvage the situation with some describing it as being the darkest year in the history of the sparkling we are experiencing a crisis that we have value way even worse than the Great Depression in terms of economy for champagne. When i hear that others such as received help even without any reference to their profits i say look we continue to work and we need to support workers were switching to the principles of our gannett winemaking and besides we only asked to compensate social benefits and only for the period of the current 19 pandemic but we will pay at least for now and have the feeling that we will pay the full price the curve of 19 pandemic has hit the industry hard not just because orders from staple buyers like restaurants and hotels are down but also because the harvest is about to get underway and there are fears of a qubit outbreak amongst Seasonal Workers some 100000 arrived hof of them from Eastern Europe but due to the nature of the work champagne growers say social distancing is impossible as there is never to be going to be close mix in the mystery board a flare up of infections in Seasonal Workers often cramped living quarters the European Center for disease prevention and control has already outlined how cost. 19 have been reported by workers who carry out Seasonal Work such as fruit picking there have been several outbreaks at farms in the south of france raising concerns among those that live in the champagne region particularly as the area has so far largely been spared from frances recent spike in infections free testing has been set up for Seasonal Workers however anyone who tests positive would have to self isolate and lose their wage hardly entice ng the problem is the Migrant Workers arent coming to get tested because they know they will lose the jobs if the test positive we can force them to come for champagne an area that is used to helping people celebrate in style 2020 is turning out to be a bit of a difficult potion to swallow so lets even ski arty paris. Amid increasing unrest in cities across america the country starting to look a bit like a war zone over the past week alone to be alone protesters and a trump supporter were killed situation has fed into the 2020 president ial Campaign Joe Biden blasting donald trump for refusing to condemn Karl Rittenhouse whos facing murder charges after killing 2 people during a protest in kenosha wisconsin last week. That was an interesting situation you saw the same tape as i saw and he was trying to get away from them i guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that were looking at right now and its under investigation but. I guess he was in very big trouble he would have been i he probably would have been killed tonight President Trump declines to rebuke violence he wouldnt even repudiate one of his support is he was charged with mudda hes too weak to scared of the hatred hes stead to put an end to it the elections that take place every 4 years in the United States generally polarized the country to some degree or other bought 2020 is taking things to a much higher level clashes on the streets between black lives matter activists praised by democrats and from supporters are starting to look almost like civil war. A member of the right wing Patriot Prayer group was shot dead in oregon and thats just days after a 17 year old was charged for shooting 2 antipolice brutality protesters in can no show wisconsin now some on the right have hailed the shooter in can osha as a hero meanwhile some on the left have celebrated the death of the trump supporter. Donald trump has taken a heavy handed approach to the protesters with 0 tolerance and joe biden has also denounced the violence but early on you had a different message i said in the right to be fact angry and frustrated and more violence for any more people isnt going to answer the question but theyre totally correct. The deadly violence we saw were of a night in portland is unacceptable shooting in the streets of a Great American city is unacceptable i condemn violence of every kind by anyone whether on the left or the right and i challenge donald trump to do the same both candidates feel the situation has gone too far and both candidates now blame each other for the chaos. Here gas was used to remove these protesters people surrender it is happening under Donald Trumps watch we are not safe in Donald Trumps america the hard truth is. You wont be safe when joe biden is in there donald trump is running as the quote law and order candidate now thats an unpopular position in some circles meanwhile biden is on the defensive as conservatives label the unrest the biting riots with the election just 2 months away and the country spiraling out of control its unclear if either candidate really has any idea how to fix the situation it will mop and artsy new york. Some place in the kingdom of heaven to wait for more than a good just to get every teen operation as medical services focus on fighting code 19 they fear this is becoming the new normal or pull on this after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Let it be an arms race. Here in Dramatic Development only. I dont see how that will be very critical. As the world tries to return to normal amid the pandemic there a fear is that some things will never be the same and waiting times in the u. K. For routine operations have been pushed back sometimes for over a year as Health Service is a focus on fighting cobe it has led to concern that more harm than good is being done looks at whether the authorities have got their priorities right. Well over the quick getting back to work when reopening schools lifes getting back to normal how many times have we heard this but now a new report from the w. H. O. Reveals just how fatally kovac 19 has set us back the impact of the coded 19 pandemic on essential Health Services is a source of great concern major health gains achieved over the past 2 decades can be wiped out in a short period of time the collapse of essential Health Services including Health PromotionPreventative Services diagnosis treatment and rehabilitative in Palliative Services is likely to have serious Adverse Health effects especially on the most vulnerable populations what does this look like in reality though well the overwhelming majority of the 100 countries surveyed found that he Health Services were interrupted not the kind of the 19 patients but for the rest of the population i. E. The majority which didnt have coronavirus so you wanted a seasonal job you want to talk to your doctor about the pain in your stomach you want to speak to a Family Planning specialist the chances are youve really struggled to access the services you need it and for some but not of accessibility proved fatal to take the u. K. Its thought that the lock down there killed 2 people for every 3 coronavirus deaths as a result of missed medical care so people who were told to stay away from a any who couldnt get an emergency surgery who had their g. P. Appointment cancelled or who didnt get the regular chemotherapy can you guarantee heading into the winter that people who need Cancer Treatment or need a counter operation wont have it cancelled again i dont use the word guarantee what i can say though is that we are already on the path to recovering the situation for many though a matter of months to clear that backlog is time they just dont have. I mean even as the government tells us and life gets back on track on the u. K. s covert death toll which is almost 0 some patients with life threatening conditions of being told to wait until 2022 for a consultation which even then what only happened over the phone is my own sound abstract but heres a real story Martin Lincoln has joined so ought to write us among other things hes at risk of diabetes unless he regulate his daily medication his appointment to do so has been postponed until next year the government tells us the n. H. S. Is open as usual and trusts are getting back to normal service as a patient with Ongoing Health issues i am now deemed sufficiently well enough despite being decidedly unwell to have to wait 14 months for a phone call from the consultant or junior if this is the new normal its disgraceful and while theres no doubt that medical professionals are doing that almost in the sun precedented situation our doctors nurses and other staff have worked incredibly hard over the last few months to make sure that all patients who needed urgent care have been able to receive it which has been the case for mr lincoln as the number of people desperately waiting for the help they need grows 2 charities are sounding the alarm the Health Service is certainly under strain because the government over the past 10 years. Under funded the n. H. S. Although the government to set out targets to recruit divisional. I dont know where theyre going to come from one of the big problems is that people who work in the n. H. S. Are very poorly paid. No great incentives for people to to doing that and i think theres no sign that this is going to get better in the near future because this government too ideologically opposed to the concept of. Publicly from. Weve been told we need to compromise to adapt to this new normal but many would argue this is a compromise too far. California lawmakers are given the green light to a bill that would force companies to have at least one board member from a minority background by the end of next year the state says that the move will help to overcome Racial Disparity people of car must have a seat at the table especially in a state as diverse as california builds on an earlier law which stated that Company Boards should include at least one woman this will rise to 3 for most larger firms by the end of next year a 1000000. 00 to 2022 at least 3 people from minority communities as well if signed off by the governor the law d will be the 1st of its kind in the u. S. For corporations so the issue we debated with political activist antony verges right and social issues commentator antony brian logan. It is of course very sad that we needed Government Intervention and for more diversity on these corporate boards the bottom line is that there have always been qualified people of color unqualified women who just dont have the access to these corporations and its just important that we do and its also beneficial to these corporations for their bottom line when they have people on their boards who are representative of their consumers thats better for their bottom line and weve seen that as expressed in Forbes Magazine in bloomberg magazine as well actually you know the bottom line of these companies they already do it ok because at the end of the day theyre trying to make money go to the most important part all that matters is have it the most qualified people on the board in a company to have your company get the best chance to succeed ok if it fails and if bales but having the government intervene and say hey you got to hire that person that person and that person wont change it actually thats called communism and weve seen in tried and tried and failed and failed and that is not communism that is not common i didnt say oh and if were going to speak to the to do to people lets be honest lets lets be honest lets be honest about what those precepts are now unfortunately what anthony is doing is conflating anyone theyre going to go into the street and just pick any person of color off the street to be on a board were talking about qualified people we know for a fact in this country we know for a fact in this country you can be able to have a tree that people of color specifically sees me scuse me if i can finish my point africanamerican women latino women and Indigenous Women who have masters degrees are silly making less money than white men with High School Diploma lets name 3 of the most lucrative businesses in the history of the United States of america Apple Microsoft and facebook all founded by white men who didnt even finish college so this idea that white people are being men are being discriminated against when they can still make money with a High School Diploma. With a High School Diploma excuse me if i can just finish my point. If i could just give us my point if i could just finish my point with if i could just finish my point a High School Diploma are still making money more money than black brown and Indigenous Women with masters degrees so this idea that white men are being discriminated against unfortunately is a bootlicking paradigm by the republicans and some of their black talking points like mr anthony is on right now he knows very very well that white men can walk down the street get pulled over by an officer and not be worried about getting shot so you know i mean talking about jobs these are starting in maine so motivated me just like myself ok come from poor environment next to nothing and now im very successful ok because i started my own thing i thought it wont business ok were in america everyone can do they are right theres no need to put me here or to put somebody else who does that is absolutely not true ok if i had my own business i didnt if you hadnt i better get out of. It i dont want a government telling me who i can take and i have all my. Black Household Wealth at 17000. 00 a year and white house would welcome 177000. 00 a year on average these are good responsible policies and of businesses want them to be dismantled then do the right thing and understand that diversity is not just about numbers but also about shared power the best way to go bad is they have freedom in the country not so much government regulation the best way to go about is they have less regulation always rates a less bureaucracy that helps all of those grow whether you want to be an employee or stars are all Business Rates a less regulation less brain great freedom in america. Another chapter in a long running saga Donald Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn has lost an appeal for the criminal case against him to be dismissed and was convicted of lying under oath during the rush to get probe charges were dropped on orders from the Justice Department but the latest ruling means the case still d has to go through the District Courts but all judges ruled 8. 00 to 2. 00 against flynn is attorney sydney powell called the decision disturbing. Split as expected a long line severed from the tone and tenor of the judges said oral argument it is a disturbing blow to the rule of law heres some background on the case Michael Flynn was questioned by the f. B. I. As part of the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 u. S. Election he resigned after initially pleading guilty to misleading the f. B. I. But later claim to prosecutorial misconduct and that stage is new lawyer produced documents that revealed the f. B. I. Had set out to entrap flynn and had no valid cause to interview him in the 1st place legal analyst u. S. National security commentator jennifer the master believes the case against flynn should have been a nonstarter. Not only the exculpatory documents that Sidney Powell did provide that show that this case should never have been brought not just that but the entire reason that the judge is holding this case out is because glenn pled guilty to a document that he has never seen so we have to think about that a document he has never seen that the public has never seen that the court has never seen that his original interview what they called the original what Sidney Powell has been asking for so in most legal cases theres a process of discovery we need to see all of these documents stuck just an edited version they have never even produced that original interview and i think their plan is to pass about november but its certainly important hopefully theyre going to be ways or methods where they can go that doing this to make this go through faster this is an absolute travesty of justice.
