Following ongoing battles over limits for the Security Service and on the cover operations. For good morning from russia when i was kevin 0 in here at the World News Center this round and for you great to have a company by the way hoping to stick around to take you through the headlines so out of this not great news france has set a new daily coated record with more than 16000 cases registered in the past 24 hours on wednesday the french government announced new measures than to contain the spread of the virus Health Authorities have set up graded danger levels to cover alerts reinforced alert and maximum alert zones as theyre putting in areas with more than 150. 00 cases per 100000 shown in red while the worst hit areas with more than 250 cases 400000. Dark red faced the strictest measures mas say france is overseas territory of guadalupe are the only 2 places in the highest card to grow at the moment bars and restaurants there will close for at least 2 weeks as well as Public Places that lack antivirus controls mask wearing is obligatory and additional restrictions could be announced too but while ses mayor is fuming that the measures were imposed without consultation and residents of the french caribbean islands of guadalupe are also of course concerned. Not all the restaurants owners need more help otherwise we will be a disaster weve taken our lawns guaranteed by the state but these loans will have to be paid and we dont know where to get the money we are being offered deferred payments but Everyone Wants to conciliation many facilities will close and people will be out of work it will be a disaster for millionaires only restaurants closing arent real measures i think we should quarantine everyone for 2 weeks to limit the spread of the virus or even impose a curfew. Doc to say one thing today in another thing tomorrow for example Wearing Masks was not necessary at 1st then it became compulsory and then it was stated as a recommendation we do not know what to do so were just hanging on and i do not know how long our patients will last only time the head of the department of guadalupe warns the restrictions are not suited to his area but french dr mark de la told us that without such measures in place the situation could turn even more disastrous. Densely populated places in big cities especially in bars and restaurants people can forget that they need to take precautions if you go to a bar or restaurant was such a high transmission risk you could then infect your family members with the virus so far we did not have a vaccine and the recommended measures are temporary as the minister said they will be revised in 2 weeks if we do nothing it will lead us to a Public Health emergency when i hear what some politicians have to say i think we need to ask people who have been in intensive care they really know what we are talking about the. War britain could soon become the 1st country to carry a socalled challenge trials were hearing to with their Coronavirus Vaccine but that would involve deliberately exposing volunteers to the live virus the f. T. Financial Times Newspaper citing insiders working on said project saying the trials could start in january at a corner and Team Facility in london the plan is that volunteers would reportedly receive a vaccine and then a dose of the actual virus a month later to see if it worked or not the governments not confirmed details of the scheme but admit it is open to conducting such studies. Well watch it with partners to understand how we might can operate on the potential development of a paper 1000 facts seen through human challenge studies. We heard from microbiology simon clock of britains university of reading it says the move may not be ideal but these are desperate times. Its quite certain usual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a backseat would me wouldnt be so wed be so strong. Its no optimal an optimal way of doing it ideally youd let people get that virus normally but needs must with the devil right back so it gets the move on base and weve really got to be able to come up with a vaccine in pretty short order so i think some people think this is a way of doing it you know you need to its a sub optimal way of trying no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country and spring were gone by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill many of whom were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant that that sort of hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem. For the day no next Major Car Companies including tesla filed a lawsuit against the trumpet ministration for unlawful tariffs on chinese made parts as the u. S. President s trade war on beijing seems to have left American Companies struggling to find alternative manufacture is assessed at taylor reports this morning. Fost in serious speeding its way to dominating the car industry but it may have reached a bit of a roadblock increase tariffs schools economics. Through the increase of costs and the impact of profitability due to the complexity of the 3 car computer and the demanding time lines necessary for teslas exponential growth to say is unable to find another manufacturer to meet our requirements tesla has filed a lawsuit against the trumpet ministration y. Well t. Components the company uses namely the computer chips are made in china and as luck would have it these parts are subject to 25 percent tariffs as part of trumps tough on china strategy ido musk says its a car crash and the tariffs are all poetry capricious and an abuse of this question probably not what a president wants to hear from one of his countrys greatest minds who hes fine gold in the past is one of our great geniuses and we have to protect and with mosques a single says probably not what trump had in mind when he promised to make America Great again protecting our workers are protecting our companies to trade war hurts them doesnt hurt us with a hole in his pocket now musk is asking for a refund with interest of course on all the tax hes already had to pay and test is not the only Company Spinning out of the big hits is like miss a days fortune volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is all while these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing theyve been a road to diversification i dont crease profit you know the trade friction between china and us puts pressure on Companies Whose main market is the us the value of exposed to the us is decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and has enlarged known u. S. Markets well the. The u. S. Market for chinese products has shrunk so chinas overall exports keep growing but so was no doubt for President Trump who 4 years ago said the cards were in american hands but we have the cards dont forget were like the piggy back this being wrapped we cant continue to allow china to rape our country and thats what theyre doing its the greatest theft in the history of the world while 4 years on the u. S. Trade deficit with china is almost 10 percent more than one trump said those wads one for years on it looks like its now tester and co who are the ones looking into that piggy banks and saying empty wads not those gold coins they were promised its not what should this morning thanks for watching by the way this next story the battle for the u. S. Presidency is gaining momentum of course with both republicans and democrats seemingly refusing at times to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power if they lose caleb maupin next this morning look at how history might repeat itself ending in the Supremes Court should no candidate concede defeat. There is always plenty of anticipation and tension in the lead up to a u. S. President ial election however 2020 stands out this year people arent so much worried about who wins but rather what will happen after victory is declared donald trump made jaws drop when he refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses to joe biden on november 3rd to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the bell the surge is. Arriving committed to making sure that theres a nice little word for all of the we want to get rid of the ballots and you have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation that sounds pretty ominous if youre a democrat and its given to you. To joe bidens pretrial of trump as a would be dictator would prefer. Being facetious i said what country or where you. Says the most rational thing. I dont know what to say but its not just donald trump Hillary Clinton has advised joe biden not to concede to donald trump under any circumstances in other words not to promise a peaceful transition either joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think this is going to drag out and eventually i do believe he will win it so if no clear victory is determined on Election Night it could end up following the trajectory of the 2000 elections where the Supreme Court ended up picking who the winner was donald trump is already anticipating such circumstances i think this will end up in the Supreme Court and i think its very important that we have 9 justices now thats convenient because the republicans could soon have a stranglehold over the Supreme Court a clear 63. 00 majority the passing of Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg has set the stage for a big fight on capitol hill about who is going to replace her on the u. S. Supreme court that do you remember how ugly things got with Brett Kavanaugh well this time the stakes are much higher kaleb mopp an artsy new york. Right side to this in britain a warning against new legislation to let undercover agents get away with serious crimes including murder. There is a grave danger that this bill could end up providing informers agents with a license to kill it is deeply alarming that the proposed law does not explicitly prohibit m i 5 and other agencies from authorizing crimes like torture and killing it must be amended to do so will this new legislation. Will be introduced this week to allow agents to carry a necessary and proportionate offenses the full list of crimes that can be allowed is not disclosed and allegedly the bill sets no limits the government however insists the bill is compliant with the European Convention on human rights doesnt provide a license to kill we discussed the issue with former British Intelligence agents. Our spy agencies in the u. K. Are the most legally protected and least accountable of any spy agencies in any notional western democracy and this is just another law that will protect them so i have some sympathy for the agents in the field who want to be sure that if they have to do something thats illegal to protect their lives shape their lives or get information will save others lives yes they do want to be protected and thats right however if this is going to be another warrant system which is basically and i 5 would have to request a warrant from the ethical march to the home secretary. And then they would have immunity that is wide open to abuse and this is one of the things that David Shayler reported way back in 1981 the warranty system is a tick box exercise government ministers always sign off on them because they dont want to take the risk that something might happen if they dont. And they can be gamed so its a sort of a state of notional democratic oversight and notional National Legal protection but actually i think its part of a bigger power grab thats going on amongst our intelligence agencies the u. K. This is Art International broadcast around the world from russia delighted to be here with you this morning coming up and britain is held a commitment to a new Energy Source backed by oil majors critics see a trick or revealed after this break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. I get morning more than 100 media organizations of but the highly divisive decision by french satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to republic cartoons about the islamic religion. In paris and picks up a story this morning. In the wake of the show only to trial the satirical magazine which was attacked by terrorists in 2015 as we published some of its most controversial cartoons depicting the muslim prophet mohammed show me to use as it is described as being essential but it provoked condemnation from several was that in countries such a deliberate act to offend the sentiments of billions of muslims cannot be justified as an excuse and press Freedom Freedom of expression such actions undermine the global aspirations for peaceful coexistence as well as social and interfaith harmony and through the publication the magazine received Death ThreatsCharlie Hebdo is once again threatened by a terrorist organization threats that constitute a real provocation in the midst of the trial of the january 2015 attacks. I had 10 minutes to gather my things and leave my home 10 minutes to leave behind a part of my life thats a bit short its very brutal. He was told the french media have now banded together calling on people to see and buy the magazine with more than 100 french news outlets have offered backing the enemies of freedom must understand that we are all together the 1st opponents regardless of our differences of opinion or beliefs the appeal is to defend their right to speak arabic to publish freely solidarity for surely every 2 may be the central theme but the letter is also touching on the broader dangers that are facing those who publish critical content. That journalists are under threat almost all over the world no reason to think theyre in more or less danger in france there are 25 journalists who are dead in europe during past years in the past few weeks alone the french president and lashed out at a veteran reporter just for failing to consult with the Government Press office over the story. What you have done taking into account the sensitivity of the subject is irresponsible you have always heard me defend journalists and i always will but i tell you frankly what you did was serious unprofessional and mean 40 is also in the president s firing line. Rushes in speed nick have not behaved as Media Outlets and journalists because agencies of influence and propaganda rushdie and speak nick have several times false its about me and my campaign thats why they have not been invited to my headquarters all of which makes the climate of reporting shall we say wrong difficult it was every day for that you called many journalists just threatened by different groups mafia far. Crazy people etc journalists should be careful the Political Climate in france to what journalists havent gone any better now than in other countries some may say the press is supported better now but its my subversive pluralism is under attack journalists are under attack and there are more and more laws against professional secrecy that affect journalists and so on they carry the fine line between pushing the boundaries and outright provocation the likes of surely a there will always divide opinion but a world where journalists are able to tell their stories here is surely something that none of us want to see so our t. V. R t r s but its a significant number of french people are against charlie those move and oppositions particularly high among muslims this. As a footnote to that story ok lets go on to our next one its been claimed that the pentagon has spent up to a 1000000000. 00 of coronavirus funds or military equipment including jet engines and body armor congress this year ago the Defense Department a 1000000000. 00 to battle covert but a Washington Post report claims most of that money went instead to ship Building MaintenanceArmy Uniforms satellites drones and space surveillance the cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the countrys Pandemic Response with the u. S. Suffering the worlds highest coronavirus death toll it comes the time of severe supply shortages the u. S. Centers for Disease Control on an additional 6000000000. 00 in needed to distribute potential vaccines next year it has noted to a severe lack of medical grade facemasks the pentagons not directly responded to the Washington Post story but has defended the way spent coronavirus funds. We are think through the congress provided authorities and resources that enable the executive branch to invest in Domestic Production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of curve it we need to always remember that economic and National Security are very tightly integrated and our Industrial Base is really the nexus of the 2 preventative medicine professor would have told us the spending scandal goes all the way to the top obviously we would have preferred those monies go to co
