from moscow this is our international my name's 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 charlotte dubinsky can tell us what's ahead. president mark onset in july she tweeted that in the event of a 2nd wave there we are ready that's francois be ready and that's clearly the case they both people and we are overwhelmed by the 2nd wave that we now know to certainly be harder and deadlier than the 1st one the government has said it didn't want this locked down that despite its efforts it looks like it's back to square one when it comes to it 19 definity present diprivan to confine the elderly the most vulnerable to test be alert and protect to improve the number of beds in intensive care units with a solutions are not enough at the moment and we need to go beyond that it could. 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 is at his desk 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 away or 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 track that process went along 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 copd at the moment we have seen 5 $123.00 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 it since april and in the last few days we have seen the code test rates at come back with more than 50000 people registering 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 commodes they are exhausted and need more assistance now. we know that this had been expected by many people it fearing worse that it would be this announcement of a 2nd locked out and as a result of that people leaving paris to be able to not stay during a lockdown in perhaps small cramped apartments present makana said the government will give everything possible to keep people in the means that they need to we know that a thorough long will be extended 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 france going into its 2nd lockdown a lockdown that's not expected to last until at least december 1st it's not what the government wanted but present back on senshi 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 topped $13000.00 they're leaving angela merkel to announce a broad lockdown starting next week and set to last a month or you're a correspondent peter all over 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 there was talk about the 4th of november or later next week it's going to be monday the 2nd of november that this new lockdown light comes into play then 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 theatres concert halls operas 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 in 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 it ain't 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 mo. meant world models this new lockdown will be in place for the reason is because if they didn't the health care system was at risk of just being overwhelmed you can. assume 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 we are taking decisive action. overall. it's wrong to say welcome but that 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 the. 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 with. well 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 lockdown light works we spoke with a political analyst in france about the upcoming lockdown. i think we are angry surprised by this information did he go too far because some gun national is do you prepare rishon to go to the number of french economy because the only when you dislike the down. the do great numeric internet. to reason into united states room to sell and to continue sitting during to try is that do not go down and the smaller business so the small nation of business will die due to their not down and this love down is a measure. up shooty a boost to the national interest europe as a whole 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 v are still underway if russia gets w.h.o. approval it will mean faster availability of the shot around the world although there has been skepticism about the vaccine alongside western claims that corners were cut to rushed into production moscow says it's confident in the drug our senior correspondent more a guy 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 test it 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 no all public transport quarantines isolations. there's all manner of restrictions it's obviously of the there the race is 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. not only speaking the role of the media is to inform the public this mission is now on hold large parts of the media landscape particularly big believed to be determining what the public can know and from that is controlled speech. freedom of speech. dealing with a global pandemic in the viral type infecting people causing chaos and mayhem but that small change compared to the mind virus bit coy. seems wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out just to become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the maternity town the slums go in and you may never get out of the most of. my teenage gang rules here because i do want to move there no let me my. mother. but. the navy will. kill. you. yeah. and melanie when. you. welcome back to the program media tech giants in the u.s. 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 archie'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 say that you don't construe 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 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. desperately trying to cover up ever. they don't want to hear speeches like this they don't want to hear it 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 and 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. also an american news america's streets have 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 as well as looting. things turned violent after 27 year old walter wallace was shot dead by police after running at officers with a knife while it 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 have left dozens of officers injured and a number of arrests were made. by . the way you want to bring us we are 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 this 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 to have any other thoughts and prayers with walter wallace and his family prefer right now reporting in west philadelphia aaron fronsac our chief. other were protests in new york as well a car drove through a police police line in brooklyn reportedly injuring one person the unrest spiraled into mayhem and as demonstrators vandalized police cars banks and started fires nationals police association member betsy brandt near smith gave us her take on the on rest 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 mr wallace is because he was about to stab one of them with a knife police officers never fired 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 rast and violence on election night. police in chile is capital have used water cannons to break up an anti-government demonstration led by cyclists the protest was called after a sharp spike in metro fares which the government has since canceled however demonstrators are still angry about rising living costs pension reforms and
