History. And euthanasia for terminally ill children aged from 1. 00 to 12. 00 will become legal in the netherlands as the government backs new rules and unbearable and less suffering. Children will feel pressured to. Allow people to kill them all full force that is what we are talking in these kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much suffering. From good morning to you thanks for joining us here on r. T. Resurgent in europe with record infection rates registered across the continent france spain the u. K. They now have heavy a case closed and seen in the spring and there is little political unity on how to handle this crisis with more. Cases of coronavirus skyrocket across europe e. U. Leaders are bringing back hard core restrictions and we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be in force in the paris region and 8 other french c. D. C. Officers are still in the same situation over the bend them it is serious because we record rising infection numbers almost everywhere the reason is that fear is a 2nd Autumn Winter wave of the virus would be worse than the 1st appear to be coming true back in march france was in lockdown with around 7 and a half 1000 daily cases the latest figures show that is high and now the same picture is repeated in spain and in the u. K. While all those countries were in lockdown in the spring now politicians are trying to strike a balance between safety and personal freedom for many the potential economic damage of another lockdown outweighs concerns of a public health. And. Now. Since the virus was 1st detected in europe Different Countries of opted for different tactics the swedish government went for a hands off approach relying on people following precautions without them having to be made rules that worked at least for a while but now restrictions are in place in sweden as well the disjointed approach among Member States has caused public frustration a poll of e. U. Citizens found that just over half of french people consulted thought there was unity in the block when it came to tackling coronavirus however 60 percent of italians and almost 3 quarters of those here in june. Any thought the approach lacked solidarity one thing that was agreed upon this week was a unified set of travel rules for the European Union we welcome the agreement reached day by the Member States on e. U. Wide coordination of measures restricting Free Movement related to the coronavirus pandemic it will have a single set of colors to categorize the different regions based on the risk with a single set of rules to follow so citizens can see more clearly what the situation is the german chancellor says that needs to be more cooperation across europe to help calm attain a virus that doesnt care whether its in brussels bremen. We have also experienced that European Corporation is not limitless lee resilient i tell you the south critically especially in the beginning of the pandemic in retrospect we focus too much on the problems of our own country but this experience once again makes it clear that we need each other we need close european cooperation in order to monster great challenges which can only be achieved together with the citizens and not working above their heads so far that unified approach to tackling cove it has been lacking from european leaders these are all of our r. T. Marcelo for other than normally a swedish epidemiologist says striking the right balance between saving lives and saving the economy is far from easy. If your inability to enjoy are facing the outbreak of a pandemic then the 1st thing you have to see is whether there are 2 groups aware of those put up with interest so it does not help that they say well that was important from long before it should have been taken into account in deployment of this strategy to face the pandemic and that was not the done so this is this year i do know. Over incapacity unless you do. I dont see a purpose but your prayer these are others you know where your prayers are not to save their lives it will be with your prayer to start to save the economy even thinking ok we have a nice economy doing this pandemic and the country will look down that will then we suffered much more so were going to have a better position than they have if you have those ideas you have this consideration of course youre going to sacrifice. But that is. The human rights. The u. K. Is facing a rebellion in the north of england over tough new courbet restrictions the regions one of the worst affected in the country the Mary Manchester accuses number 10 of using the north as canaries in the coal mine these are live reports. The mayor of manchester has been speaking today and hes been lashing out at the governments attempts to implement this socalled 3 year to system on certain parts of the u. K. Or at least putting certain parts of the country into those higher brackets and mr burnham saying that those parts of the country he suffered enough economically there are certain sectors of the economy that have suffered enough economically throughout this crisis and if the government is going to pull these measures out then they have to extend some type of Financial Support to those regions last night the deputy chief medical officer told great amongst the leaders to bring the infection rates down any regional lock down would require widespread closures way beyond pulps to stand any real chance of working and that would have to be done in tandem with all the neighboring regions and even then it would not be certain to work. But heres the point the government is not giving City Regional city regions like ours and the Liverpool City Region the necessary financial backing for full lock downs of that kind. That is why we have unanimously opposed the governments plans for tier 3 they off lord and. Now there are other leaders in the northeast of the Country Council leaders who have also lashed out in places like sunderland the new cost of against these government measures here in the capital london we are expecting to go into the height from saturday all the words on the streets of the city there are mixed feelings as to whether that is the right way forward think its kind of been thrown a lot of people people werent expecting it necessarily but it seems like its the logical next step i would prefer a sure shot down rather than something that we just dont know when it might. Just keep rolling right back look at the damage thats been doing to the economy tier 2 tier 3 everyone suffering now weve reached a point where this there doesnt seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel i take the view that the this the reaction to this disease is the more unfortunate and terrible it is being grossly exaggerated and we need to. Try and regain normality soon as possible and again i feel whatever is going to. Spread is a good thing i think it probably needed to happen a while ago maybe we would have had to do it a bit less dissin know it is gone forever and i know its in the Public Interest and we should be safe but. I dont know im really tired of my work and everything just being disrupted all the time you do where you have to do it. Or in this for a long term. U. S. Republicans are crying foul have to social media giants banned the dumbing article of president ial candidate joe biden and his sons business dealings twitter and facebook you claim to be preventing misinformation could now be subpoenaed comes with the election just weeks away on the scale of morgan has a story. The election is just 3 weeks out and the New York Post the daily conservative tabloid of new york city says it has a bombshell theyve allegedly got emails from joe biden and his family now the emails are said to have come from a laptop that was left behind at a Computer Repair shop in delaware there are some images of joe bidens son hunter smoking crack and an alleged sex tape the emails show hunter biden introducing his father joe biden and the Vice President to the board of barista a natural gas giant from ukraine that actually paid hunter biden 50000. 00 a month to sit on its board. Did home to thank you for inviting me to d. C. And giving an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together its really an honor and pleasure critics say this proves that joe biden when he was Vice President knew about his sons business deals in ukraine and helped to the republicans see this is damaging the Biden Campaign team of course they didnt i everything so why has this story gotten so big well social media got involved. Well they will intentionally not link to the New York Post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebooks 3rd Party Fact Checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform on facebook you couldnt even share this story in a direct private message it was blacked out gone twitter even shut down the New York Post account and the account of the White House Press secretary when she tried to share a screen shot of many this looks a lot like tech giants meddling in american politics so how did twitter explaining. The policy establishment 2018 perhaps to use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization well thats interesting because the recent story from the New York Times similarly unconfirmed about Donald Trumps tax returns which was based on personal data that was somehow collected which the New York Times never bothered to explain where they got it from that story its still up on both platforms so cue the republicans with biden today they take negative posts down own those before they even go up there trying to protect him they tried to project by the tech monopolies that control American Media feared this story might hurt that candidate whom they favor this is election interference in the attempt to rig an election which is what were seeing here by monopolies is unprecedented in American History now twitter says this is all just a big miscommunication well the damage has already been done the story of joe biden and his son and their business dealings is probably not going to have a big impact on the Election Results however the move by the tech giants to censure it after theyve already had a long history of anticonservative bias that very well could. R. T. New york. A couple of hours ago twitter announced that it would revise its hacked materials policy it will now label hacked tweets instead of blocking them but the New York Post article will remain blocked as it displays images containing private information and we discussed this story with Public Policy professor max abrams he says the tech giants are political activists both twitter and facebook are very clearly in the biden camp and so this bombshell story by the New York Post is damaging to joe biden and so both twitter and facebook for political reasons are trying to restrict your viewership of this incriminating information of course the social media platforms can come out in say that explicitly they cant say that were in cahoots with you know the biden team and we didnt like it for political reasons it reasons instead they need to make up other reasons for restricting viewership what is clear is that this was a very pro biden move. The dutch government has approved plans to allow the euthanasia of terminally ill children aged between 112 the Research Shows theres a need for the possibility of active life term an asian among doctors and parents of terminally ill children who are suffering hopelessly a number and will die in the foreseeable future or current dutch law permits euthanasia for babies under one year and children older than 12 consent from parents is mandatory children aged 16 or 17 need only inform their parents of their decision the new rules will also require parental consent and the approval of 2 doctors on to child euthanasia has been allowed in the netherlands since 24. 00 team are adults it was legalised almost 2 decades ago losses euthanasia deaths account for 4 percent of total number of deaths in the netherlands out of over 6000 cases the majority were for terminal medical conditions we put the governments latest initiative of the debate. 2 things that difficult to find one is how long someones got to live and the other is how unbearable the suffering really is and both of those things get watered down over time or in oregon for example terminally ill has been watered down to you know you require some medical treatment to sustain your life which means even diabetes is classified as terminally ill where people can live for decades with diabetes this is what essentially did it on the edge thats absolutely no ounce the definitions of what causes what is terminally ill what is unbearable it all is on the thing and the fact they will think it down now to children as well shows exactly the slippery slope that happens when you legalize euthanasia in this kind of way its absolutely nonsense what you say it autumn patient with having diabetes will not be helped in his suicide just because he has to die if there is a diabetes it by suffering with it certainly not the reason and this is to wait a post or preachin is talking about i think even the suggestion to Young Children maybe dying is the right option its just going to very very very disturbing for their children and and just provoke anxiety i think children what you have what will happen here is children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is and then parents as well feeling pressured to kill their children or allow their children to be killed i think if you dont want to have euthanasia youre not going to ask for it you wont get it will get absolutely Perfect Health care in the netherlands and in oregon it is nonsense to say that it is suggested to patients that they should make a choice for death it is not one of the nicest thing for a doctor to do to help his patient die but sometimes its the only way out its not monsters at all are many reported cases where patients have felt pressured you know because doctors have said you know we cant maybe we cant treat you for this and so you should think about euthanasia have you thought about euthanasia and dots of repeatedly said that to patients and they felt the pressure of it i have never read what you said to distil something you. I think or you believe which is happening that maybe there have been cases where this has happened i must say that we are sacred but it is certainly not the general our i will always practice in the netherlands how with this practiced in oregon how does practice in belgium in luxembourg and canada and right now i mean what weve found consistently in surveys of doctors is that people who are actually policy of cat doctors do not support euthanasia theyre the ones who know that pain can be alleviated euthanasia is is not the right way around its not everyone agrees that this is a wrong thing to do to terminate life in this kind of way you are perseverant in saying something which is not right if there are situation to alleviate pain by Palliative Care our doctors do that but we are talking in these kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering can not be alleviated in such cases it is much more humane to help somebody die peacefully by yes of course by the hands of a doctor by giving medication. The idea is to stop posting coded notices on homes as it concerns it stigmatizes people more or less after the break. The sound. Still seems wrong lol i just dont. Get me they get to shape out these days active. And engaged with. The trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. A dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells their bodies on the street many of them underage. Los Angeles Police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if youre going to exploit a child here in los angeles they were going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade. Welcome back germany has been demanding answers from russia over the alleged poisoning of opposition figure looks in a valley but apparently its a bird in itself thats reluctant to cooperate like in september russian lawmakers wrote to the german parliaments president inviting their counterparts to Work Together on the case some german m. P. s are now livid because they were never informed of this off the members of the bundestag. And hurt our stand how in the highly tense situation of german russian relations which urgently needs dialogue russian offers for talks and requests for help or so brusquely rejected by the german side or later some politicians in berlin dismissed the proposal as a cheap trick to influence german lawmakers earlier moscow was repeatedly rebuked by the e. U. For failing to provide a credible explanation over the incident the signatures are there to say that it was deliberately ignored. But you more on why the bundestag president has decided to ignore a letter in my opinion he had received a command to do so otherwise i cant explain it its all undermines the deputies in europe and. In nigeria anymore because we while a deputy from the right wing alternative Germany Party probably shouldnt urged its head of going not to leave the russian letter unanswered as well as to consider moscows earlier multiple requests seeking Legal Assistance on the novelli case heres what he had to say. Only tool that visibility is maybe the 1st time mr schauble a full court let up and in this case he should speak if theres others that are close and he should also say im sorry to the riderless from the letter from the state your mother and other is that. He did it intentionally and this is really a fond affront jeweler. Therefore and if they are. Normally let dull should be out of this accident the necessary. Restaurant in the city of portland was attacked last weekend after a black lives matter protest descended into rioting we spoke to its own military veteran john jackson. We experienced some bend alyssum and vandalism in the form of what i would call domestic terrorism on sunday evening by a Faction Group that hasnt yet identified themselves during that even in they had a march here in portland which turned into a riot and thats what they mean any they targeted heroes american. And proceeded to shoot through the windows with what we believe was a 9 millimeter pistol. The heroes american cafe is known for supporting Veterans Police firefighters and other Public Servants according to his website the restaurant donate some of its profits to support what it calls local heroes. When the restaurant in question was attacked during the socalled day of riots in portland protesters toppled statues of former president s and raided the Oregon HistoricalSociety Building pullens now describe demonstrators actions as obscene phone jacks and again says that some groups intentionally escalated the situation. It was a planned attack not just random because theres other buildings all around me that werent touched. Multiple statues a statue of Teddy RooseveltAbraham Lincoln and they destroyed a museum a Historic Museum at the same time the chatter on the internet indicates that they believed that we were pro police and they believed that we were. Black lives matter which. Is makes no sense because you can see that i happen to be an africanamerican Business Owner that portland is a community of relatively peaceful people and i think that the people from portland that are protesting are protesting peacefully whats happening is theres a faction that are being paid to come to portland and to antagonize and to escalate trouble. New delhi authorities have decided to stop putting notices outside of homes of people who were covert 900 positive after officials admitted that the practice does lead to stigmatize ation. There is a stigma with the coronavirus disease and posters outside the house amplify that by doing away with this we are aiming at increased testing we want more people to get themselves tested without thinking of stigmas. The homes of those infected with covert to be marked since the 1st days of the pandemic in india but people say that theyve been discriminated against even after recovering one consequence of that has been that people with symptoms of avoided getting tested for fear of being stigmatized for now only delhi and several other regions have decided to stop issuing the notices they are still used in other parts of the country we spoke to doctors for an aversive rush kumar who says that the policy was badly thought out from the start. It was the usual practice for people who were returning them while in countries that recent history of late there have been slowly this man did very well and been 14 days to return from a foreign country down and not be used for people who could be force or do these things actually increase the stigma related to the people who guard the initiating fiction you know believe in a city only mostly there look dont not born in some states they have even leak into very. Steely sheets in front of their homes so that they cannot go sued because a bag for sayed underbite of when you see me goes to displayed in the 1st place where good is good dead finally they are decided to get away with such pieces and by their descriptions. Unabridged right up to date thanks for joining me this morning on our team to national more not top stories for you and often no. Doubt about that get a list of all of this. One look at what why did why do i keep. Telling you hope to be but there are some friends that the us are still so but the soul to do something to see. The child. They have about one of them i think theres a koala going to mom was there with someone of that you know well look at that. And she is very Interesting Times because of the phone then because interest was you know way is the largest social experiment if we dont. Know if. Theres numbers tonight if you Condition One of these there you can become more reflective and say what kind of relief. Americans love buying homes. This was a fundamental part of how our Political Leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hoe and then you know rebel. Not just that. The impact of the upcoming fight for the Supreme Court on the 2020 alexion on the surface of politics. What on the politicking on larry king confirmation of a 3rd trump nominated supreme god justice looks virtually certain the in baghdad on the 2020 election as a highly politicized question mark and well get one on one perspective from 2 men who come from very different partisan camps but who share experience working in the senate will begin with david brown democratic strategist former majority counsel to democratic senator patty murray on 2 congressional committees and he is in washington ok to get right to it David Mcconnell said he will have a vote on the nominee really havent before election day. I think hes going to do everything he can to push it through before election day because i think the stakes larry are incredibly high and fraught for the republicans if they went after the election when you know that owning these people eat out trouble be a losing president and Senate Republicans will have lost their majority in the senate but the reality is this is a this is a dangerous political calculus for the majority leader because what hes really doing fundamentally is pushing through Political Force a nominee whoever that person is who is deeply unpopular with the American People 60 percent of americans including new half of republicans hope want the next president not this president but the next president to be the one who gets to decide who will replace wrist on the Supreme Court and so its a deeply unpopular thing in this because doing it fundamentally the stakes yourself because any of the cast or Donald Trumps nominee is a vote to overturn the Affordable Care act and its a vote women protections for preexisting conditions at a time when were in the endemic and weve got over 200000 americans who have lost their lives and the states just couldnt be higher
