Reopening. China says its embassy in washington received Death Threats. Being whipped up by the trumpet ministration of the us gave the chinese. Live from moscow this is our Team International my names you know ilan 30 minutes of news on the start of. An intense standoff is developing in the u. S. City of portland president Donald Trumps decision to send in federal troops to crack down on until racism protests and riots appears to have faded the situation. Right. Here they are long term heres got me. Give up person just soul speaking the mayor of portland was among those tear gassed by federal officers and as he stood with the protesters the white house claims he has lost control of the city however more than a dozen u. S. Murders most of them democrats have voiced them are over the federal crackdown they have urged the Trump Administration to pull troops all itself American Cities meanwhile calls to defund the police have gotten larger among some groups. There are all of chicago meanwhile hazard citizens to inform the police of any old constitutional elections that they consider to have been committed by federal forces earlier mr trump announced that 100 so troops would be deployed to the city which he previously compared to a war so. I think in their own way they want us to go in and theyll be a time when theyre going to want us to go in full blast but right now were sending extra people to help ive been very clear. Not happening in chicago we dont need federal troops and im calling on all chicagoans that if you see something that doesnt look right please dont hesitate to report it and if we see any steps out of line particularly with v. H. S. Or Border Patrol were not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions i can list is what we know is happening in chicago his experience the spike in violence over the past few days a recent drive by shooting a funeral left 15 people injured murders and shooting incidents in the city have doubled in 2020 compared with the same period last year but some locals say the president s decision to send in federal troops will not solve d the crisis i think that the time in the resources to be better spent in addressing the pandemic that affects all of us across the world so i just think its just a deflection and its unfortunate its by a lens begets more violence its just a chain that will just repeat. Continue its not going to stop it is very dangerous to send federal agents i mean theres if you what happens if i just stay inside for the couple weeks there and then come back outside when they leave like the rules are very intelligent and theyre not this is not intelligent the most useful we have. The bureau of alcohol. Tobacco. To deal with. Automatic weapons that are in the hands of criminals. You know were going to get those kind of weapons out of the hands of people who. You know the mass shootings. Moving the program on the World Health Organization is sundering the alarm over there coronavirus situation in europe calling it worrying with more a lot here is our europe correspondent peter over. The summer sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions of being lifted or loosened the World Health Organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus with Eastern Europe and the balkans seem to be particularly at risk. We still have some worrying trends in Southern Europe in the balkans so were not out of the woods just yet in the european environment it requires sustained vigilance just 2 months ago montenegro was declaring itself corona free not anymore it seems 2000 cases of the virus have seen social distancing and lock down measures reintroduced but. You may be forgiven for thinking that western europe would force off the worst the pandemic count to offer but theres also been spikes there as well in spain for example the number of new infections has tripled recently. You know when measures have been relaxed is where outbreaks happen is not only family reunions or other types of gatherings where weve had a good number of new outbreaks but also in places where theres been evening entertainment they have also generated some new outbreaks some countries are already reimposing measures in austria masks will be mandatory again from friday in response to a rise in the number of covert cases while in belgium which was ravaged by the 1st wave of the virus more pressure is being placed upon the Health Care System local mayors will be given powers to impose lock downs and curfews in the areas hardest hit we think that this is not really the time to have phase 5 of easing the restrictions there will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the coronavirus instead. Germany has been very successful at keeping kate. This is low but this time of year is the peak time for holidays and unfortunately mingling with strangers when traveling is a very good way to spread this virus then thats the differences in the precautions taken from country to country here in berlin its strictly for bolton to write public transport without a mosque while in norway its optional but there is nothing stopping me popping off the all slow for a few days taking in the sights of the taiga city by tram and bringing cove it back to Germany Europe like everywhere else is desperate to get back to normality not least of all for economic reasons but steps taken to quickly can end up being steps taken backwards that comb with tragic consequences coronavirus today is no less infectious and no less deadly than it was a few months back it would a political but mostly economy in europe is more concerned with the economy in the health of its citizens and people the relaxation of the self isolation regime happened too early we do not know much about this virus but it spreads extremely quickly now there have been repeated outbreaks of the virus in many places in spain in terms of the rate of infection the countrys approaching the figure of a 1000 people a day due to summer vacations that there are not enough doctors and nurses we need to act quickly in order to find the source of infections and try to immediately isolate and quarantine the people who are nearby in europe borders have been practically opened some places are being visited by tourists i dont think that the control over visitors is very strict if europe does not act together then frankly it will be difficult at the beginning of the epidemic the government made the wrong decisions by the end of february a quarantine should have been already declared but this is in the past today it is. Global problem i see that infections are not only occurring in spain the balkans will be a big source of increased Coronavirus Infections in europe. Well after 4 days of tense negotiations the 27. 00 e. U. Countries reached an agreement on choose the l. A. Post krone virus stimulus package the french president the plan us historic his opposition members didnt though they called it a bad deal for. This Recovery Plan based on European Solidarity is a historic change for the European Union and the eurozone think its a common goal based on solidarity and responsibility because theres a planned refund deadline the goal isnt soley to leave all of this on the backs of future generations so this is a common desire to invest which will enable us to properly face the social and economic but also its a logical challenges of our European Union. Macron has just signed the worst deal for france in the history of the you to protect his ego he sector feiss our future and our independence european taxes abandonment for agriculture colossal financial commitment of the country micron has given into everything contribution discounts to tight fisted countries spending controls the reduction in the amount of the Recovery Plan etc spare us the propaganda. Big figures being spoken about the brussel summit saw leaders also agreement a 7 year budget for the block worth just over a trillion euro on top of about 700000000000. 00 euro was earmarked for the covert Recovery Plan sharing their views with us on the deal of britains sunday telegraph columnist elizabeth mood today independent journalist luke reveal 1st. For once theyre out there on the same wavelength i mean the left motion more and more independent right both criticise with the same arguments the clamor of michael. Wanted them to be one of the european leaders to be the leader with mrs merkel really wants to have an International Stature and bob for how francis dealt with the Coronavirus Crisis i wouldnt be proud and also from to come out of the speech is seen in deep trouble and baltar that has just trench politics they they are mean they are against europe in any way and most of the time they have different areas in which they are against europe whether the left or the right the left are saying that it kills the interest of workers and the right to saying that it makes it impossible to be a free nation but the result is that the felt from complaining in 2017 that he was pro european that he thought that france was stronger within europe than not having a part to play in europe and hes just done a great deal of britain has shaped a look probably the toughest european summit since they created the European Union and he and im going to merkel had to compromise on some aspects but they more or less when the deal so he can work with a dictionary and its making his enemies very angry. Tensions between the United States and china are ratcheting up beijings Foreign Ministry voiced its anger after washington give it 72 hours on choose to shut its consulate in houston in a tweet a spokesperson for the Ministry Said the Chinese Embassy in washington had received bomb Death Threats because of hatred against the country they say whipped up by the Top Administration harsh words also exchanged in public. As far as closing additional embassies its always possible they were burning documents or burning papers on time china strongly condemns the decision and urges the us side to immediately rescind this wrong decision otherwise china will take legitimate and necessary Counter Measures theres been this long challenge of the Chinese Communist party stealing intellectual property actually talked about this is not just American Intellectual property but stalls when european intellectual property of the usa as it ordered the conflict closed to quote protect American Intellectual property and private information on choose they police and fire officials responded to reports of smoke in the courtyard of the building a video emerged of what appears to be fires and cuts the bins its widely speculated in the media about consulate employees were burning documents relations between the u. S. And china have been steadily worsening President Trump recently revoked hong kongs preferential trade status he also moved to further sanction chinese officials on businesses over chinas new security law which also affects hong kong on top of that up to mr trump has been pointing the finger at beijing over the corona virus pandemic r. T. America hosts rick sanchez the scuffs the escalating tensions with his guests. This was unexpected and it was a complete slap in the face because they are essentially being forced to shut down the entire console within 72 hours and in fact this is one of the most important console one of the oldest ones ever established in the u. S. So china isnt that said that they are definitely going to retaliate if the u. S. Does not reconsider and withdraw this and they said that they are most likely will be it could well be shutting down the u. S. Consulate over and as well in retaliation this entire thing was done without any sort of communication at all so it just shows you how to carry this entire relationship is my company will then goes on to are looking like it just walked off of the sopranos the public in the country is it comes and goes to look at each of our noiselessly and shake their heads at the ask themselves is this Great America its roaming around the world like a bull in a china shop if youll forgive the pun given the events and 1 the owner of the all these trying to shops is finally going to say if we dont stop these people then all of our china shops are going to be trashed have we gone sanction crazy. The sanctions do not work or. Are the next big magnet on the agenda. Theyre really. Really independently at what their worth or not theres an exchange that took a kind of political theater mr trump of the republican player and. Thank you jane from breaking. News theyre now going to beat up on china and make a lot of all of them with french and which what the average person is. Really almost every year theyre at around. The rest of the world nervous very strange way of doing with your politics between leading countries in the world. I want to bring you in the program note to ukraine where a man has released a Police Officer that he had taken hostage in the city of poltava this suspect remains at large it comes just days after a hostage crisis in the western city of where an army held up a bus with 13 people inside before surrendering to police on todays instance maria from washington told me more. Behold such has been released and we hear from the Ukrainian Police that hes safe and sound while the queen will drop the car and ease currently on the run actually started when police in ukraines North Eastern city of poltava tried to detain a man suspected of hijacking a car all of a sudden the suspect grabbed one of the officers and was holding him very tight while threatening to set off a grenade we heard that from Ukraines Deputy interior minister later they were negotiations and the suspect agreed to release the officer in exchange for a local police chief and another car and he for some time was driving around the city until he dropped the car and released the hostages into local media the suspect is 32 year old man who was earlier convicted of drug offenses and reports say that he wanted all the charges against him to be dropped but the governor of that region in ukraine Poltava Region said that it is impossible it comes just 2 days after another dramatic hostage situation in another ukrainian city in western part of the country this is what happened. I. Told the hostages were freed after ukrainian president will admit as a lansky personally negotiated with the terrorists and agreed to do what he wanted to record this video address freedoms in their duties. So both hostage situations are now over a but anyway it sparks concerns over security situation in ukraine. A group of 40 scientists has warned the u. S. Against the resumption of Nuclear Testing citing the risk of all art work back in may the reports emerge suggesting that the Trump Administration the skills whether to conduct the 1st nuclear test since a decade long moratorium earlier colleagues spoke to Nobel Laureate biochemist richard j. Roberts he believes or renewal that nuclear test could set off an alarming Chain Reaction while the point of the testing is that if you are not planning for war why do it so that means you are planning for war if the us want to resume testing that would provoke other countries such as india or pakistan to also receive that test as well exactly does what exactly what i would expect so other nations are going to be concerned if the us is doing it you know why shouldnt we why are they doing it what are they what is they go i think this whole thing is crazy you know the world does not need Nuclear Weapons we have plenty of problems we dont need the problems. Of the us has already ditched a number of Nuclear Agreement solve late in 2019 it pulled out of a cold war pact with russia the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty before that you might recall washington the part of the around nuclear deal now all eyes are on an arms reduction treaty that set to expire at the beginning of next year russia has been pushing for its extension but the u. S. Is still deliberating. Richard j. Roberts again sees there are risks elva nuclear war with another superpower as well. The possibility of a new cold war with china the scapegoat is time instead of russia is growing every day. But i also think that at times like this when we see the potential tragedy that can come from and damage such as the 19 pandemic should make rational people think about what is important in life is it important to prepare for a nuclear war or is it important to prepare make sure all the population is healthy do you support total disarmament applying to. Yes i want to just no sense there is no good were actually now anybody to have nuclear arms.
