Seeing here but monopolies respond precedented in American History. Euthanizing terminally ill children is set to become legal in the netherlands the government there is backing new rules to end unbearable suffering. Children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is but we are talking in discussion of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering can not be deviated by whatever it will probably have cared to reach. Hello good evening youre watching r. T. International now the coronavirus is once again tightening its grip on europe france spain and the u. K. Is setting new infection records on a daily basis at the moment are exceeding those seen during the 1st wave however when it comes to tackling the Health Crisis it seems that political unity is in short supply peter all of the reports. Cases of coronavirus sky rockets 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 cities. Shit out in this situation over the pandemic 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. 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 consultant 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 germany thought the approach lacked solidarity as i do larry and security measures that confusing i have no idea where i can and cant go there to simplify their rules im worried about a 2nd law down especially the impact it will have on restaurant owners. The self employed its not clear if there is a right strategy but there must be a better way to explain the strategy where supposed to be one we knows the hot spots as large family Gatherings Party maybe care homes and Retirement Homes thats where they should focus this is just chaos because 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 uighur coordination of measures restricting Free Movement related to the corona virus pandemic it will have a single set of colors to categorize the different regions based on 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 limitlessly resilient i tell you the south critically especially in the beginning of the pandemic inveterate specht 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 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 r. T. Was. Much alef rather than only does believe its almost impossible at the moment to balance saving lives with saving economies. If your inability to you are facing. The 1st thing you have to see is whether there are groups or where are those with interest so it does not help that they say well that was at rawdon from long before it should have been taken into account in deploying of this strategy to face the pandemic that was not the done so this is this year or i dunno. Over incapacity you unless you do. We. Dont see a blog post but your priorities are others you know where your priorities are not to suit the lives of the well youre probably start to see the economy or even think. We have it most economy do it this pandemic and the country will look down that will have their 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 adult. But that is goes against the human rights. While russia is not immune to the rapidly rising infection rate either on friday the number of daily cases did top more than 15001 on thursday about saw a Record Number of dead deaths 286 your strictures are now being rolled out in the capital and also the city. With the u. S. Election fever nearing its peak theres plenty of mudslinging from both sides but republicans are currently up in arms after social media giant censored an explosive article on the reportedly shady business dealings of joe biden and his son twitter and facebook claim that they were merely trying to prevent misinformation come up in his more. The election is just 3 weeks out and the New York Post the daily conservative tabloid in 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 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 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 so many this looks a lot like tech giants meddling in american politics so how did twitter explain it. The policy establishment 2018 prevents the 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 a negative post down almost 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 well twitter has since announced it will revise his hacks materials policy labeling tweets instead of blocking them however the New York Post article mentioned there will remain blocked as it does display says images containing privacy information Public Policy professor believes 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 cant come out and 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. That the dutch government has approved plans to allow the euthanasia of terminally ill children aged between one and 12 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 and im bearable and will die in the foreseeable future conduct your permit euthanasia for babies under one year and children older than 12 consent from parents is mandatory well our children aged 16 or 17 need to only inform their parents of their decision the new rules will require parental consent and the approval of doctors euthanasia for adults meanwhile was legalized in the netherlands almost 2 decades ago when euthanasia does account for 4 percent of the total number of deaths in the netherlands and out of more than 6000. 00 cases the majority involved terminal conditions we put the governments new plans up for debate. Theres 2 things that have got 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 is on the edge thats absolutely announce the definitions of what causes what is terminally ill what is unbearable and this kind of thing and the fact they will think it down now to children as well so is 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 its just it wait a post a preachin is talking about outlaw i think even the suggestion to Young Children maybe dying is their option is just going to very very very disturbing for their children and and just provoke anxiety i think children what you have and 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 imperative as well fitting pressure 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 create 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 deaths it is not one of the nicest thing for a doctor to do to help his patients die but sometimes its the only way out its not nonsense at all or 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 this has happened i must say that we are sacred but it is certainly not the general idea of 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 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 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 rebellion is brewing in the north of england after the government brought in regionally targeted coded restrictions manchesters man has now accused downing street of using the north as canaries in the coal mine has more. 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 full 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 cause of against these government measures here in the capital along the 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 thrown a lot of people people werent expecting it necessarily but it seems like its the logical next step pilot. 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 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 as. 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 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 the long term. Well political commentator on friday believes that the new measures actually wont help stop the spread of the 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 going 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. That the u. S. City of portland was rocked by another night of vandalism last weekend after a black lives matter protest descended into rioting when business targeted was a restaurant owned by military veteran john jackson. We experienced some bandoliers im 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 they me vinnie they targeted heroes american. And proceeded to shoot through the windows with what we believe was a 9 millimeter pistol. Well the heroes american cafe is known for supporting Veterans Police firefighters and other Public Servants according to his website some profits are mostly die 90 to support local hay arrives the restaurant was attacked during the socalled day of rice in portland i test is top of that she was a former president and also by did the Oregon Historical society fielding portions may describe the actions is a thing john jackson again believes 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 they tore down 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 believe that we were pro police in they believe 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 that are being paid to come to portland and to antagonize and to ask. Trouble. However since germany said it was irrefutable that top kremlin critic collection of our only had been poisoned with an offer truck nerve agent perlin has been demanding answers from moscow but news that russian lawmakers wrote to the german parliaments president offering cooperation has incensed some german m. P. Says they were never told about the offer the members of the bundestag. And hurt are stunned how in the highly tense situation of german russian relations which urgently needs dialogue russian offers for talks and requests for help are so brusquely rejected by the german side some politicians in berlin or since dismissed the proposes a cheap trick to win influence moscow has been repeatedly repeatedly refused by the 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 which is why the buddhist 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 a the head of the bundestag not to leave the russian letter unanswered we talked to one of his colleagues hunch york miller. Bust monday the 12th of october the personal secretary of mr scheuer wrote to a friend of mine that allegedly he had forwarded its letter oath to tickle me chew on Foreign Affairs sort of blunder struck and the members of the truman Russian Parliament regrouped by being a member of the german Russian Parliamentary group i have never oafish only received this letter by mr short so it is proved in writing that mr scheuer blip or write on this talk it a letter deliberately and then i got a letter that mr scheuer really forbit the letter only true they had hoped they called me to on Foreign Affairs but this only happened after we had already lifted the topic in this moment your conference with all russia colleagues so also this he had done only under pressure and what he did personally is that president choice a little bit under stark decide to truly frame to gives an answer to russia yes i have also in writing i think this is a very it is a tremendous political scandal that the president of the door to the stark side to refrain and you are in service to moscow on this very important let. Our democracy protesters and the 10s of thousands took to the streets of the thai capital on thursday i despise an emergency decree banning Mass Gatherings but hes clashed with protesters needs to get on to break up the cracks. God god god god god the card demonstrators have been demanding the release of dozens of the semester. Its just its that time and the beginning of the year with combs political reform pressure nations and a new constitution as well as the reform of the monarchy.

This is boom bust in the one business show you cant afford to miss or in washington coming up tensions are on the rise across the atlantic as breakfast talks have hit a rocky patch straight ahead when to bring a malices in on the fate of the trade deal between the u. K. And the rest of the bloc plus u. S. Jobless claims are on the rise to their highest level since august later on when to take a look at the new numbers and the state of the economic recovery when packed show today so lets dive right in. And we leave the program with the latest in the brics saga could the United Kingdom finish the process without a trade deal with the e. U. October 15th was the deadline for trade talks to wrap up and now the possibility of no deal seems more likely after the European Union says that while it will make every effort to come to a trade deal before the u. K. Brags that it will not compromise at any cost and. An agreement is in everyones interests the e. U. Is united in striving to achieve this in the short Time Available but we must unfortunately also prepare for the case that no agreement is reached we do think that is very
