live from moscow this is r t international my name is donald quarter and your 30 minutes of news and views starts now the french president has announced the country will enter a 2nd national lockdown in a bid to turn the tide against the coronavirus and it will last at least all of november artie's charlotta been ski can tell us what's ahead. president mike onset in july he tweeted that in the event of a 2nd wave there we are ready that's from the city ready and that's clearly the case front skills now it's in the middle of the 2nd wave could be 1008 colored coat bits try different methods such as the curfew as the lock downs none of them seem to work as we keep seeing or roys ing number of positive cases being which is that every day the government has said it didn't want this lockdown that despite its efforts it looks like it's back to square one when it comes to code 19 from friday we will see a closure of bars and restaurants and those forms that people in france needed during the 1st lockdown to leave home as atis destin's they will be back the suggestion is that once again the french will only be able to leave their home if they have to do essential shopping if they have to go to the doctor says or if they need their one hour of daily exercise sent back to those really restrictive measures the one thing that is different this time around there is the fact that schools will remain open and we know the president machen said that this will be reviewed in 2 weeks to see how the progress is going and whether that means that they can perhaps loosen the noose slightly but as you mentioned this will be in place until december 1st mark owen said in the speech that the virus is circulating in france at a speed that even the most pessimistic person did not foresee and he said that the 2nd wave would be more deadly than the 1st that he talked about something he said that if this was on check that process went along ringback the route of trying to create good immunity it would see some 400000 excess deaths as a result of that now we know that the situation with kuwait at the moment we have seen 523 code related. deaths in a 24 hour period up to the last day or so that is the highest they get that france has registered since april and in the last few days we have seen the test rates at come back with more than 50000 people resting positive for the disease in a 24 hour period and these measures of being brought in mainly to try and help hospitals hospitals which say they are overwhelmed by cases of coke 19 hospital staff who have been saying for months they are exhausted and need more assistance at present michael talks about the figures in hospitals and he said across france at the number of patients now with could be $900.00 intensive care units is around 58 percent of the capacity of those units so that gives you a sense but if you look at certain areas we know that at capacity is saturated up to about 7080 in some places even lanty percent full up with could get 1000 patients now we know that this had been expected by many people it fearing the worst that it would be this is an excellent of a 2nd locked out and as a result of that in the last sort of couple of hours 2 people ringback have been leaving paris in their droves at one report suggesting there was 400 kilometers worth of traffic people leaving paris to be able to not stay during a lockdown in past small cramped apartments hoping to get sick stay with family or they've got holiday homes in other parts of france that didn't go down well in the 1st knock down people in rural areas extremely unhappy and accusing people in the cities of bringing the virus to their local communities we also know people are being stocking up already on food with some supermarkets already posting pictures showing the shelves are empty but present mokoena said the government will give everything possible to keep people. in the means that they need to we know that long will be extending it and we know that there will be more aid announced for as social ringback charges and for rent and there will be a different business say so front staring into its 2nd lockdown a lockdown that's now expected to last until at least december 1st it's not what the government will take but present my concept she's saying that there was no other choice. meanwhile new restrictions are also on the way in germany but less severe than in france the daily infection rate recently tops $13000.00 they're leading angle of merkel to announce a broad lockdown starting next week and set to last a month our europe correspondent peter oliver reports from berlin. well this was called lockdown lights in the build up to it we knew it was coming what we didn't expect is how soon these new measures would come in place that was talked about before the november or late to next week it's going to be monday the 2nd of november that this new lockdown light comes into play that the idea behind it is to keep schools and kindergartens open what that means is that other areas are going to have to make way younger merkel was speaking to the press earlier she said the social contact is going to have to essentially suffer in order to try and get over this hump over this autumn spike in corona infections now what we are going to see is a limit put in place on meeting meeting in public a meeting with members from of the households one of the household a maximum of 10 people you're allowed to meet with all theaters concert halls or prison any that was still open they're going to be closed on the sport that's going as well as fitness clubs swimming pools joking and cycling will still be allowed anything you can do pretty much by yourself shops are going to only be allowed one customer per 10 square metres it's understood this was a a subjective heated debate between chancellor merkel and the heads of the 16 states initially they wanted to make it one customer per $25.00 square metres however the fear was that that would essentially well i'm a and small businesses across the country the reason the chancellor merkel said they've gone through with this and they've put this in place for initially one month it will be revised in 2 weeks' time but as it stands at the moment. this new law will be in place for the reason this because if they didn't the health care system was at risk of just being overwhelmed if you can. see him if the current rate of spread of the coronavirus in germany continues the health care system will collapse within a few weeks things can get out of control in the blink of an eye so that is why the taking decisive action. over in germany these measures it's wrong to say welcome but they're being understood however there is still a small dedicated. group of the population who are opposed to all coronavirus measures we've seen demonstrations all over germany some of those clashes with police there have been arrests made and you would be hard pushed to think that these people won't be outraged by this move put in place by the chancellor we won't see more scenes like this earth. 'd ringback with. the message from angola merkel as she introduces what's being called block down light is sacrifice your social lives in order to keep schools kindergartens and essential businesses alive and keep the economy ticking over its preparations to try and stop a spike in coronavirus cases here in germany we'll be looking to see if the lock down light works. we spoke with a political analyst in france about the upcoming lockdown i think we are angry surprised by this information to go too far because some gun national is the preparation of this road to you know our french economy because the only winner in dislocate now and we. do the do great new marriage internet. to raise in the united states through our able to sell and to continue selling during to try is that do not go down and the smaller business so the smaller national business will die due to their not down and this slowdown is a measure. absolutely opposed to the national interest europe as a whole 'd once again finds itself as a major coronavirus hotspot with infections surging across the continent but this time people aren't being very compliant when it comes to the measures designed to slow the spread. several cities in italy have seen protests break out over new restrictions such as the implementation of overnight curfews a similar picture in spain with people making a stand against the state of emergency imposed nationwide. in russia where infections are also spiking the country has applied to the world health organization for an emergency covert vaccine license although advanced stage 3 trials of sputnik we are still underway if russia gets w h o's approval it will mean faster availability of the shots around the globe. although there's been much skepticism about about the vaccine alongside western claims that corners were cut to rushed into production moscow says it's confident in the drug and our senior correspondent more i've got picks up the story well this is the 1st application filed will do with the world health organization about a vaccine so a vaccine and the russians are pretty confident you know it's now up to the world health organization to run this vaccine sputnik through through the gauntlet tested for efficacy tested for quality for safety but as i say the russians are pretty confident this wasn't a vaccine that was built from from the ground up so it's a match trials are already underway prominent russian officials as well as medics journalists have already had their job thousands of people involved in these trials but as i say this this wasn't a vaccine that was developed from the ground up it was based on an existing vaccine platform that was merely adapted updated. so this is one of the reasons why they're confident that this is safe that this is going to work nevertheless obviously you have to test it you to meet criteria and it is now up to the world health organization. we have submitted an application for emergency use listing and prequalification of the vaccine by the world health organization which would allow sputnik the to be included in the list of medical products that meet the leading quality safety and efficacy standards we express our gratitude to the world health organization for its active cooperation and look forward to the successful completion of the prequalification process at all major stages look the 2nd wave is well and truly here it is proving exceptionally damaging exceptionally painful you records being set all over the world in russia on tuesday a new record in daily deaths from. 30350 people also killed yesterday so you know the situation is it is desperate all of these restrictions at kemah coming back into force in russia they aren't quite as draconian as they were back here in the spring but now we're seeing you know mandatory mosques everywhere no public spaces and all public transport quarantines isolations. there's all manner of restrictions it's obviously of the the races on the race continues and it isn't just the russian vaccine that is being fast tracked it is from all over the world in this in this race to beat covert before it does irreversible damage. still to come on arrest descends into looting for a 2nd night in the us city of philadelphia following the fatal shooting of a knife wielding black man by police more on that after the break. you know we dealing with a global pandemic in the viral type infecting people 'd causing chaos and mayhem but that small change compared to the mind virus bit coy. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation will community. you good in the right way or are you being that. way. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. welcome back to the program media tech giants in the us have faced a grilling by republicans over allegations they've been suppressing conservative viewpoints so-called content mediation has been the concern of congress before although it's intensified now with less than a week until the presidential election artie's new york correspondent caleb mop and talks us through the hearing. it was a tense morning on capitol hill as the heads of u.s. tech giants were called before the u.s. congress and a senate committee to answer questions about an alleged conservative bias now the c.e.o.'s only agreed to appear after they were threatened with a subpoena and they answered questions from u.s. senators about the allegations of bias in their handling of news and their ability to oversee what shows up on twitter on facebook and on google now there was an awkward moment towards the beginning of the hearing where it appeared that mark zuckerberg the head of facebook wasn't answering the phone but when the hearing finally did get going one of the main things was a new york post article that reported critical information about joe biden and his son hunter biden and their alleged business dealings they were essentially being asked why this article had been suppressed on facebook and on twitter here's how the questioning went to the f.b.i. contacts you see the new york post troops senator know about that story specifically nicholas i mean why did why did you straddle back video alerted us of it to be on heightened alert around a risk of can we go. around to release your proof if you're making appointments you know just to be clear on this we didn't censor the content we flagged it for fact checkers to review and pending that review we temporarily constrained its distribution but. it's not up to us either to determine whether it's a russian interference nor whether it's true we relied on sort of you know because it's. now the article from the new york post seemed to indicate that hunter biden the son of joe biden was involved in some shady business dealings in ukraine and china and when that article was suppressed by facebook and twitter donald trump the u.s. president was furious media and the big big tech they're desperately trying to come up better. they don't want to hear speeches like this they don't want to hear it and think about it this is a massive scandal that they're trying to suppress now donald trump has long been facing off with the tech giants who gave views as oppositional to his presidency he has called them out for allegedly shadow banning his tweets in the tweets of his supporters furthermore donald trump signed an executive order that was intended to roll back some of the protection from lawsuits that the tech monopolies seem to enjoy under the telecommunications laws of the united states now the tech monopolies were not thrilled about that move by the white house now the democrats have argued that today's hearing was simply a political ploy by u.s. president donald trump to portray himself as a victim of tech monopolies going after him in the lead up to the vote coming up on tuesday however it was quite a tense moment on capitol hill as we saw u.s. senators challenging and confronting top c.e.o.'s from silicon valley. america's streets have once again erupted into violence just days before the u.s. election with philadelphia witnessing a 2nd night of unrest following the police killing of a black man on monday the protest soon descended into rioting and looting things turned violent after 27 year old walter wallace was shot dead by police after running at officers with a knife while this was allegedly suffering from mental illness and had previous run ins with the law the national guard has now been deployed to the city and clashes left dozens of officers injured and a number of arrests were made. thank you. i'm. going to be here. we're outside the 18th precinct here this is the closest police station to where walter wallace was killed protesters literally moments ago just clash with police they are going up in their faces yelling no justice no peace and also profanity and this is all stemming from a suiting of a black man in broad daylight around 4 pm monday afternoon now we've seen across the city looting has happened as far as a mile and a half all the way to 5 miles away from the city i talked to business owners earlier today who say that they saw this months ago during the george floyd protests however they never imagined this in their city one business even saying that they lost a total of $500000.00 in damages so again businesses really rallying together trying to even hire their own security guards knowing that when the police get called to go somewhere else who's going to be there to save them now again this also i mean from the shooting of walter wallace you have the mayor and the police commissioner now saying that they want to meet with the lawless family and the police headquarters actually releasing a statement saying that they're asking everyone to be patient as they investigate this situation and also asking for those who have a father thought some prayers with walter wallace and his family before right now reporting in west philadelphia aaron fronsac r.t. . there are protests in new york as well a car drove through a police brought a police line in brooklyn reportedly injuring one person the unrest spiraled into mayhem as demonstrators vandalized police cars banks and started fires national police association member betsy brandt nurse smith gave us her take on the unrest and what happened in philadelphia. he chose to attack 2 police officers with a large knife he was asked to stop the police officers created distance they tried to get away they asked him to drop the knife instead he chose to attack them reason that they shot this to wallace is because he was about to stab one of them. with a knife police officers never fire their weapons unless they are in imminent danger but if we don't have the political will in those left leaning cities to do that the violence will continue as cities and jurisdictions throughout the united states are preparing for on rest and violence on election night. police and she lays capital have used water cannons to break up an anti-government demonstration led by cyclists the protest was called after a sharp hike in metro fares which the government has since cancelled however demonstrators are still angry about the rising living costs pension reforms and alleged abuse of power by the police. in california more than 100000 people have been forced to flee their homes amid wildfires burning out of control in the region water dropping planes have been battling the blazes at least 2 firefighters have been injured and are currently in critical condition. a massive typhoon has made landfall just

looking for the. bell in the lead up in. the mccain who can use all i see. same wrong but all. just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come to advocate and in again from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. looking at the risk of you know no rush but i thought it was tough to get sick with a cyclone things on their way. back home but i can merican suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. real lybia losing show one by else a store on. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the rear troops who were to prove your new. found great crowd. the moon if you you're going to go. you. know almost a 100 years later history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time i went through russia. on probable worst time to go anywhere why not me. when i come here. and i can remember when it would flow one time in the fall and then one time in the spring you know a break up and now i mean already 3 times this year they said you know if people get nervous about the flooding of their houses and needing to stay in school or even getting out of new talk because they're worried about that kind of stuff than just these last 2 storms have taken so much away you know he went measured the last couple storms and they're like it knocked off 1020 feet in 111 day yeah and so there's better marginals i have to do you know the students and where are they kids right in their journals about their worries about the floods. i don't think i ask hatch and fire but fire house let it as the very next thing they all wrote on their route was that our us thought it we would grab. some of the box of pictures. so. they've obviously been stressing about my lack of. things hard. what are you. a burglar. was. my 1st year here which was 15 years ago. i thought. you see these commercials you know about helping other countries and i'm thinking look at this place. and why isn't there commercial to help the people here like there's not running water in the houses and and there's you know the so they still have this honey look at system they have to haul their water like this is not america anymore you know not the america i grew up in this is like wow. newtok is a very rural. community with their language and their culture and their subsistence it's really strong here still and that's a good thing but worst case scenario my fear is that a couple of houses are lost families or are displaced and have to move to other communities or bethel with other family members and that yeah this that that new village doesn't get built quick enough for new talk to move there and it to the community and to prepare ourselves. for what they see the greater the truck. it was. awesome folks who believe that sense of belonging just is taken away so then you have to try to reestablish that feeling of belonging .
