American history and euthanizing children is set to become legal in the netherlands with the government backing a rule to end unbearable suffering. Children will feel pressured pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is but we are talking in these kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much of the suffering. But i just come 5 an evening here in moscow you with the international now the coronavirus is once again tightening its grip on europe france spain and the u. K. Setting new infection records on a daily basis are exceeding those seen during the 1st wave however when it comes to tackling the Health Crisis it seems political unity is in short. Supplies peter oliver now reports. Cases of coronavirus sky rocket across europe e. U. Leaders bringing back hard core restrictions and we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be enforced in the paris region and 8 other french officers dust in this 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. 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 the rules that worked at least for a while but now restrictions are in place in sweden as well the disjointed approach among e. U. Member states has caused public frustration a poll of e. U. Citizens found that just over half of french People Council to their walls unity in the block when it came to tackling coronavirus however 60 percent of italians and. Almost 3 quarters of those here in germany thought the approach lacked solidarity as our anchor lariam security the measures that confusing that i have no idea where i can and cant go theres just simplify the rules im worried about a 2nd law down especially the impact it will have on Restaurant Owners and the selfemployed its not clear if there is a right strategy but there must be a better way to explain the strategy where supposed to be when can we know the hotspots is knowledge family Gatherings Party maybe care homes and Retirement Homes thats where they should focus this is just chaos it goes with the 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 uy 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 means to be more cooperation across europe to help calm attain a virus that doesnt care whether its in brussels bremen things 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 inveterate specht we focused 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 must agree 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 our team. Well swedish epidemiologists much better if that are the only. Does believe its almost impossible to balance saving lives with saving economies if your inability to work face it would probably be going to the 1st thing you have to see is where there there are groups or where it goes with interest so it does not help that they say well that was that golden from right before it should have been taking into account indep learning of the strategies to face the a pandemic that was not the done so this is this year i dunno. Over incapacity unless you do. We. Dont see it but the get your brain or at least are others you know with your protests or not to suit their lives. With your prayer decided to seek the glory or even think. We have it most economy do it 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 been if you have those ideas you have dismissed it isnt of course youre going to sacrifice the effort. But that is goes against the human rights but russia is not immune to the surging infection rate see there on friday the number of daily cases top more than 15000 while on thursday had us for Record Number of daily deaths 286 new strictures are being rolled out in the capital and other cities. With the u. S. Election fever nearing its peak theres plenty of mudslinging on both sides at the moment but republicans are up in arms after social media giants and censured an explosive article on the reportedly shady business dealings of joe biden and his son 2 from facebook to claim that they were merely trying to prevent misinformation. As more. Election is just 3 weeks out and the New York Post the daily conservative tabloid of new york city says it has a bombshell and 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. I 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 them 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 when 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 screenshot so many this looks a lot like tech giants meddling in american politics so how did twitter explain it. The paulson stablish in 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 when 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 him after theyve already had a long history of anticonservative bias that very well could have. Been r. T. New york well twitter has since announced it will revise its hacked materials policy labeling tweets instead of blocking them however the New York Post article will remain built as it does display images containing private information a Public Policy professor says believe the tech giants have become full 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 cleaner is that this was a very pro biden move. Now the dutch government has approved plans to live nathan aisy a terminally ill children aged between one and 12. The Research Shows there is a need for the possibility of active life terminations among doctors and parents of terminally ill children who are suffering hopelessly a number oblique and will die in the foreseeable future current dutch law does permit euthanasia for babies under one year and children older than 12 consent from parents is mandatory while children aged 16. 00 to 17. 00 need only inform their parents of their decision the new rules would also require parents consent and the approval of 2 doctors euthanasia for adults meanwhile was legalized in the netherlands almost 2 decades ago now euthanasia is a count 4 percent of the total number of deaths in the netherlands out of more than 6000 cases the majority involve terminal conditions we put the governments new plans for the back. 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 they dont know exactly what you know 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 but its certainly not the reason and this is to wait opposed a preachin is talking about i think even the suggestion to Young Children maybe dying is the right option is just going to very very very disturbing for those children and and just provoke anxiety i think children what you have it what will happen here is children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is an impairment 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 nonsense at all the 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 and maybe there have been cases where it is has happened i must say it we are sacred but it is certainly not the general our outlaws practice in the netherlands how it is practiced in oregon how does practice in belgium in luxembourg in canada and right now i mean what weve found consistently in surveys of doctors is that people who are actually policy of care 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 periods of care how doctors do that but we are talking in this kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering can not be alleviated. It is much more humane to help somebody die peacefully by yes of course by the hands of a doctor or by giving medication. Now a rebellion is brewing in the north of england after the government brought in regionally targeted cave infrastructure and just as man has accused downing street there with using the north as canaries in the coal mine. Reports the mayor of manchester has been speaking today and hes been lashing out at the governments attempts to implement this socalled 3 tier 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 of already 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 that bring the infection rates down any regional lot. Down would require widespread closures way beyond popes to stand any real chance of working and that would have to be done in tandem with other neighboring regions and even then it would not be certain to work. But heres the point the government is not giving city region city regions like ours and the Liverpool City Region the necessary financial backing full full lock downs of thought kind. That is why we have unanimously opposed the governments plans for tier 3 they off lord and unfair. 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 i think its kind of been sprung on 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 that its been doing to the economy to a 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 is the reaction to this disease is. More unfortunate and terrible it is being grossly exaggerated and we need to. Try and regain normality soon as possible again i feel whatever is going to. Spread is a good thing i think it probably needed to happen a while ago and maybe we would have had to do it a bit less dissin know it was fairly its 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 i have to do it. Were in this for a long term political commentator on friar believes that new measures will actually do little to stop the spread of infection. The 3 tier system which the government has brought in clearly is rather complex and it divides parts of the country up sense going to be quite difficult i think to make people pay the rules particularly in those in the top tier and theres no guarantee of success unfortunately the been a number of meetings with local Authority Leaders in which the government has they doubt more details of what support will be available but its good not going to be as generous as the support that was available during the 3 months from uptown that we had starting in march this year theres going to be a recession in this country but the economy wouldnt collapse we have to remember still the country is the 6th richest country in the world and unemployment rates are relatively low compared to even other countries in europe sal it would be a hard thing to bear but it wouldnt destroy us. Now the u. S. City of portland was rocked by another night of vandalism last weekend after a black life not a protest descended into rioting one business targeted was a restaurant owned by military veteran john jackson. We experienced some vandalism 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 they had a march here in portland which turned into a riot and thats what they mean even inc they targeted heroes american. And proceeded to shoot through the windows with what we believe was a 9 millimeter pistol. The hero is american cafes known for supporting Veterans Police firefighters and other Public Servants according to his website some profits on day 1000 to support local hero the restaurant was attacked during the socalled day of right in portland protest as top of that shes a former president s and also raided the Oregon HistoricalSociety Building portions may describe the actions is obscene on jackson again really some critics intentionally escalated the situation. It was a planned attack not just random because theres other buildings all around me that werent touched they tore it out 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 anti 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 ins that are being paid to come to portland and to antagonize and to. Escalate trouble. Now ever since germany said it was irrefutable that top kremlin critic alexina valley had been poisoned but the novacek nerve agent perlin has been demanding answers from moscow but news that russian lawmakers actually wrote to the german parliaments president offering cooperation has incensed some german m. P. s says they were never informed of the offer 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. Some politicians in berlin have since dismissed the proposal as a cheap trick to win influence moscow has been repeatedly repeated by the year for failing to provide a credible explanation over the incident but the signatories of the letter do say that their offer of cooperation was deliberately ignored. And why the bush president has decided to ignore a letter in my opinion he had received a command to do so otherwise i cant explain it this all undermines the deputys independence which is sad meanwhile a deputy from the right wing alternative for Germany Party has the head of the bundestag not to leave the russian letter unanswered we talked to one of his colleagues and york miller. Bust monday the 12 took toga or the personal secretary of mr scheuer wrote to a friend of mine but allegedly he had forward it letter oath to tickle me chew on Foreign Affairs a lot of wonderstruck and the members of the truman Russian Parliament regrouped by being a member of the german Russian Parliamentary group i have never officially received this letter by mr short so be disproved in writing that mr scheuer blip or write on this talk it letter deliberately and then i got a letter that mr scheuer really forbit the letter only true they had hoped to call me to on Foreign Affairs but this only happened after we had already a lift to the topic in this moment your conference with a russian colleague so also based it done only under pressure and what she did personally use that president ial a little bit on the stark side to truth frame to give her an answer to russia this i have also in writing i think this is a very its a tremendous political scandal that the president of the doj will in the stark side refrain and you are in service to moscow on this very important little. Democracy have protesters night tens of thousands took to the streets of the thai capital on thursday despite an emergency decree banning mascot the rings Police Clashed with protesters needs water cannon to pry companies right. I demonstrators have been demanding the release of dozens of activists arrested earlier in the day antigovernment protests have swept thailand since the beginning of the year with calls for political reform fresh elections and also a new constitution and reform of the monarchy. So that brings up so that youre watching r. T. International could have a company this friday evening more from us than about how often are. It. Is not. But im also the most companies he knows.

Hello and welcome to crossfire all things are considered im Peter Lavelle the confirmation process that will most likely see judge breyer become the next Supreme Court justice is an impulse weighing them in their liberal media doubt over the proceedings legally their doubts dont have any merit whatsoever however this is not whats in play simply said the Supreme Court has been politicized maybe forever and packing the court is a real possibility. Ross talking the Supreme Court im joined by my guess wed enables he is a president ial historian and a former white house advisor to 2 american president s his latest book is inside Trumps White House the real story of his presidency and in washington we cross to robert but joe is an attorney as well as executive director of the rainbow
