Our to International Coming to you straight from moscow 247 welcome to the program this hour. Students across the world are back in class as schools reopen after the summer break but for many face to face learning wont be the same with 1000. 00 measures being brought in to prevent outbreaks in germany for example the rules vary from state to state but include the use of masks regular disinfection of promises and smaller class sizes spain is rolling out temperature checks and schools face being quarantined if in fact there is an outbreak and in france schools are focusing on ensuring peoples wash their hands and masks are mandatory both for students and teachers are to its own quarter takes a closer look at what russian schools are doing. Well 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 sitting in virtual classrooms just because of the coronavirus in russia september 1st is a very important holiday everybody usually gets dressed up parents and grandparents personally see off students to their 1st day of school but this year the celebrations have been canceled because of the normally large crowds that gather around this time and on top of that students not all of them will be going back to physical classrooms parents or began being given the option to keep their kids learning remotely because of the fact that many are still afraid that schools are going to be closed down after the 1st cough or sneeze there the new measures that have been inactive here in russia dont allow parents to enter the premises of schools classes will be starting at abnormal times to keep the sizes down and masks will be mandatory even the authorities have said that its possible that the entire country will return to a regime of of Remote Learning now in the u. K. Its a different situation measures have already been implemented to keep 6 students at home although the masks are not mandatory in schools right now minimizing contact has become a top priority there now these are only a couple of the long list of measures that the u. K. Government has implemented but for months theyve been trying to convince parents that schools are safe instead of putting together a plan to make sure that they can be safely reopened in fact it was just several 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 hallways and public areas and that secondary students be able to stay home every other fortnight in the event of a local lockdown now this could these kind of last minute guidelines have really upset a lot of teachers in the u. K. Weve been asking for months and months and months who was. Unbeatable on the screen see. It is a kind of act of heresy and yet here we are all the fraud you know its 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 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 can probably imagine teachers in france werent too happy either as soon as the bean contact with one another re going to try and get them to our stair hands but lets not fool ourselves we know that it would 25 pupils we want always be able to keep an eye on them all 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. We spoke with the World Health Organizations representative to russia dr milley that he says you can never eliminate all risk. Have to say that those things 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 and with all the efforts that are being put into place we do believe that this is the right moment to discuss it 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 by 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 most likely that class who go on learning it bending on the number of cases in the school who tested positive we have of course learned a lot about the virus but not everything and the issue about i said to magic person and 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 by the lot of strong capacities for detection and for speed reaction but as i said there is no. Anyone thinking of protesting in berlin will now have to wear our mask if at least 100 people show up to demonstrate thats the decision of the state senate and it comes after a number of rallies in the german capital or nationwide restrictions due to the pandemic are your correspondent peter all over the details. Protests and demonstrations of more than 100 people in berlin and now on the list of events that require those in attendance to wear a mask the Berlin Senate has voted this through their protests it means joins the list of public transport shops and supermarkets and School Buildings though not necessarily inside classrooms the berlin senator for the interior and their skies has welcomed this move saying its an important measure to stop the spread of the corona virus and also to show Public Health responsibility its not responsibility that certainly was not on display on saturday Authorities Say 38000 people were on the streets of berlin protesting against government anti corona measures in fact they were some times quite openly scenes in the demonstrations at one point try to enter the reichstag building. Seems almost certain that the scenes we saw on saturday were behind this measure being pushed through requiring masks to be worn at future demonstrations but those scenes were also behind some condemnation from politicians about the actions of those who took part on saturday thanks to mithras approve the violence of the extreme right during last saturdays demonstration in berlin rightly frightened outreached many people will not tolerate such excesses jesus of aged of people should have the right to demonstrate peacefully it is of course a very valuable asset even during a pandemic this right was clearly violated. Weekend results was shameful unacceptable scenes at the really stark and to democrats trying to make themselves heard on the steps of our Democratic Parliament its own likely that anybody taking part in further protests of this kind will pay a lot of attention to this new ruling about musk wearing some of those who have turned out to these demonstrations dont believe the coronavirus is actually a thing that exists in the 1st place still numbers out these demonstrations has been growing a similar protest at the beginning of august didnt draw nearly as many people as the almost 40000 who took part on saturday just gone we are expecting another demonstration to take place at the beginning of october we have to keep an eye out to see if people will wear masks. Protesters gathered in southern los angeles on monday after a black man was shot dead by Law Enforcement and allege the man assaulted a Deputy Sheriff who was trying to arrest him officers also say he was in possession of a handgun it comes amid brutal scenes in cities across america deadly shootings have left some parts of the country starting to look like a war zone is it to ation has fed into the 2020 president ial campaign with joe biden blasting donald trump for refusing to condemn Kyle Rittenhouse whos facing murder charges after shooting dead 2 people during a black lives matter protests in commercial 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 supporters who was charged with mudda hes too weak to scared of the hatred he has stead to put an end to it be elections that take place every 4 years in the United States generally polarize the country to some degree or other but 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. I think. You are 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 is the kind of answer the question but are 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. 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. As the world tries to return to normal amid the pandemic there are fears that some things will never be the same like waiting times in the u. K. For certain medical consultations for patients with life threatening conditions scalar explains. 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 coming specialist the chances are you really struggled to access the services you need it and for some that lack of accessibility proved fatal 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 for many though a matter of months to clear that backlog is time they just dont have even as the government tells us and life gets back on track and the u. K. Has covert death toll which is almost 0 some patients with life threatening conditions are being told to wait until 2022 for a consultation which even then what only happened over the phone. Theres 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 job here is 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 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 and that no great incentives for cregan to to do in the us and i think theres no showing that this is going to get better in the near future because this government to ideologically opposed to the concept of. Publicly funded health care weve been told we need to compromise to adapt to this new normal but many would argue this is a compromise too far. France has seen a serious spike in code in 1000 cases. During august the number of new infections increased on average by a record 3000 day thats led authorities to reimpose some protective measures with masks mandatory and workplaces from tuesday one sector thats been particularly hit hard by the pen demick is one of frances proudest Wine Production are charlotte devinsky looks at how its lost its sparkle. It should go hope but this is champagne harvest will be little more than official consumption of champagne is expected to fall by as much as a this year an unprecedented loss of around 1700000000. 00 euros now while champagne great growers have agreed to leave grapes on the vine cutting production by around 20 percent the effort 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 waits to be even worse than the Great Depression in terms of economy for champagne. When i hear that other sex has 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 janick 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 mics in the mystery border flare up of infections in Seasonal Workers often cramped living quarters the European Center for disease prevention and control has already outlined how clusters. 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 enticing the problem is the Migrant Workers arent coming to get tested because they know they will lose the jobs the test positive we can force them to call 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 just swallow so lets even ski ati paris.
