Welcome thanks for joining us here on r. T. And. First for you this hour lets get the latest global coronavirus numbers the total tally of infections that has now surpassed 4200000 294000 lives have been lost more than 1500000 people have recovered. Frances taking its 1st tentative steps back to normality today its 8 week lockdown is being eased back although some restrictions remain in place for instance masks a mandatory on public transport while some see the overall move as being positive for this fear that it could lead to a 2nd spike of infections so the dubin ski has more. From today thats monday many shops will be able to reopen schools will start to reopen public transport will be running more efficiently than it has over the last 8 weeks people hoping to get the taste of freedom for the last 8 weeks every time theyve left the house that had to happen a personal permission slip an act to say exactly why theyre leaving the house for a select narrow set of reasons that has now been disbanded with them people will be able to move freely within their towns and cities of the country is split into some regions still in the red zone which means the real heightened concern. To the far east in those regions and here in paris is one of those regions this is what the Prime Minister said when he. Was definitely going to be the easing restrictions from. Me the president of the republic has confirmed that given the latest results the progress of lifting of the measures can start on may be. Its another step in the fight against the epidemic it is good news for the french people well not so much good news is that public parks and green spaces will be reopening for the moment thats expected to take place. Which theyre hoping will start late june now already. People coming into the. Sanitizer but now shops will also be able to the mandatory wearing or face mosques they are also mandatory on all public transport in france with people not wearing over the age of 11 facing a fine of 135 euros now there has been criticism over the plans as to how thats going to. Transport network saying you know they didnt have enough people on the ground to be able to enforce that and looking for. Help and in fact this morning many fronts t. V. Stations have been showing some of the chaotic scenes not just in the metro here in paris but also in stations and connecting stations around the country showing carriages full of people not respecting the fact that despite there are moved freedoms now that social distancing is according to the government in parity of there is also criticism of teach from teachers saying you know we shouldnt be opening the schools while some businesses are concerned that some of the advice from the government hasnt been the exactly clear and no not really sure what they can and cant do there are also those businesses who cant open such as cafes and restaurants and bars you off theory is that they havent been included in this easing of the restrictions and theres also criticism from the public a sense from the public they not quite sure that the governments got perhaps the right strategy all the government is going to succeed in its strategy one poll showing that 74 percent of people didnt think public transport would be safe to use another poll showing some 58 percent almost 6 in 10 people didnt think that the government would be able to successfully implement its exit strategy and of course there is also this fear that while many people are hoping to see more freedoms down to get out and about that they will be that predicted the 2nd wave of the coronavirus and the french government has stated very clearly if there is a 2nd wave if there is a rise almost restrictions that people are hoping to have seen the back of they will be back with life in the United Kingdom put on hold for almost 2 months now the Prime Minister to the nations t. V. Screens on sunday night on the way forward there will be a gradual easing of restrictions although every step will be strictly monitored no exact date when the phone walk down will be lifted all of these details from london. The u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson addressing the country on sunday evening analysing his plans to resolve a lot of the measures that have been in place in the u. K. Since the end of march but the Prime Minister was also keen to stress that the country isnt in a position to lift those lockdown measures in any meaningful way its all no this is not the time simply to end the lockdown this week but would be madness not to throw away that achievement by allowing a 2nd spike we must stay alert we must continue to control the virus and saved lives. Now with the u. K. Having the highest death toll in the whole of europe mr johnson announced perhaps a new strategy moving forward the announcement of a fight it led system ranking a threat from covert 90 similar to the type of Anti Terrorism threat level assessments weve seen in countries like the u. K. And elsewhere with a ranking government from low level one all the way up to critical level 5 and obviously the lower the rating the more those locked out restrictions can be lifted to chart our progress and to avoid going back to square one who are establishing a new alert system run by a new joint bio Security Center could be the look level would tell us how tough we have to be in our social distancing measures the lower level the fewer the measures the higher level of the top and stricter we will have to be now to have been some accusations that mr johnson wasnt particularly clear when he came to explaining some of the measures for example saying the people who couldnt work from home should go back to work but of course many workplaces like restaurants like theaters remain closed so unclear exactly how those people could go back to work now this is johnson also of course announcing gradual easing of restrictions on wednesday we could see unlimited exercise being allowed in Public Places like parks but again there are fears that the public could just take advantage of that to flout the law rules that later on in the summer we could see the lifting of restrictions on children going to Primary School and secondary school for example and also later on in the summer we could also see for example bars and restaurants opening one small albeit with social this. Measures in place but mr johnson was also keen to stress that should we see one small increase in the rate of infection or even in the number of people losing their lives after testing positive with coke and 19 then the harsher restrictions could once mall be put back in place will be monitoring our progress locally regionally and nationally and if there are outbreaks if there are problems we will not hesitate to put on the brakes and it s doctor and author Malcolm Kendrick believes that the zing of restrictions will be good news for patients with other conditions who are now get more medical attention. We need to be relaxing restrictions now because of the there are also other problems that were not theyre not talking about if you are not coming to a hospital because theyre got chest pains if you are staying at whole children i was really going to want to take one diabetes which the major problems are to Massachusetts Children arrive each of us it was. Terrified to bring them to us but all because were told that so so theres a lot of time science going on. You know pieces with cancer not being treated patients with other serious conditions that are not immediately life threatening and not being treated so i think even just from Health Perspective you know i think you know with respect we should definitely be lots in this in my opinion we should have planned it earlier i think that they now recognize that actually we shouldnt be trying to fill up. With people who are either got kuwait or potentially have got what i call somebody unexploded bombs that oh its all right they dont have any so you know and then they sent me i dont have to recognize that this is not. A fire that broke out of the hospice in the russian city of crescent gorski overnighters claimed 10 lives early reports suggest the fire was caused by an electrical fault it was also revealed the home was registered as residential with no permission to carry out functions as a hospice a criminal investigation has been launched the owner reportedly is being questioned. New york remains the epicenter of the credit Virus Outbreak in the United States as it struggles to deal with the rapid rise in infections some neighborhoods in the bronx queens Staten Island to been hit far harder than wealthier ones as a new documentary highlights. The. Quarantining new york is a little bizarre because theres theres like 2 worlds right so were in a world where we feel very isolated were working from home but were still working and then theres this like other part of new york that we dont see when you look at like the map of how home it is politically some of the wealthier neighborhoods its been far more contained and the numbers are much lower than some of the flora neighborhoods its like 2 different worlds. Im a livable how many of them certainly allowed to be early we probably dont argue over the last 2 weeks and we have more than 100 more to go and were going round going in new york which is considered one of the or areas. Of the we were with the other core population are dying water because in everyday circumstances when you go to a hospital in new york city and probably not any of. The 1st thing they actually are you having to put the body is the end to you will ya please do you think this is a real. Meanwhile the new york states governor is already outlining his post break plans but his decision to call upon americas richest to help out this prompted anger in the big apple and more pinpricks of the story. United states has the worlds top number of coronavirus deaths and 33000000 americans have now filed for unemployment u. S. Officials are saying this is a catastrophe on par with 911 or pearl harbor many have accused the u. S. Government of dropping the ball failing to provide Adequate Health care and effectively mobilize relief however the new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo has found some saviors to help reimagine new york in the aftermath of the pandemic billionaires. Cuomo has given eric schmidt the c. E. O. Of google the task of helping to reimagine new york in the aftermath of the pandemic with Talent HealthRemote Learning and broadband probably the best mind in this country if not in this on the globe to do this is i believe a true visionary especially in the field of technology and thats eric schmidt and weve asked him to come work with us now google has already earned the distrust of millions with their project nightingale that acquired the personal medical records of millions and their ownership of fitbit. The new york governor has also decided to bring bill gates on board bill gates the microsoft founder and billionaire is set to help revolutionize schools across the state bill gates is a visionary in many ways and his ideas and thoughts on technology and education hes spoken about for years but i think we now have a moment in history where we can actually incorporate and advance those ideas advocates of Public Education have slammed his initiative as pushing privatization. Both the Gates Foundation and your coma have a history of pushing privatization and gender us that have the potential to destroy Public Schools this collaboration raises a red flag and real questions about what shape our reimagined Public Schools will take postponed demick and whether there will be recognizable as Public Schools at all the Gates Foundation or big advocates of common core and initiatives aimed at advancing americas performance in education which is already quite low especially in the field of mathematics the Program Actually has made things worse since 2013 when it was implemented at this point test scores are at a historic low. Or new york city mayor Mike Bloomberg has been drafted to help out in the field of health care you set to create a human Contact Tracing network mayor Michael Bloomberg has volunteered to help us develop and implement the tracing program we thank him very much for taking it on because it is going to require a lot of attention a lot of insight a lot of experience and a lot of resources big tech on based out of Southern California is now setting up shop in the big apple many fear that while this could create billions of dollars in profit for the Silicon Valley monopolies it will result in even more dependence from new yorkers on these mega corporations cant think of a worse or more Dangerous Development than this one hope new York Education and Health Care Unions are getting prepared for defied of their lives. Trying to take out the troubling democracy play acting goes straight through by billionaires monday gates tuesday smits next abbesses to imagine the future of the economy and is it compared to imagine news friday maybe black or just ruins everything. 1st bill gates and now eric schmidt these are not people who should determine for us how best to provide services to everyday new yorkers instead we should tax them all so people whose job it is to decide state policy can do so more effectively now the pandemic is far from over and why c. Is still shut down but the race to dominate the postcode at 19 world has already started and not surprisingly the billionaires have gotten a head start you know it doesnt surprise me in hollywood you sell you know let me tell you about that are real new yorkers see what. We see that just in the recent state budget he cut 2000000000. 00 from medicare 400000000000. 00 from hospitals in the middle of a pandemic i mean we see have we have any and also you never taxes are all you never never taxes are just so many proposals and status and on to tax the leaders to tax corporations you know to me its like a bunch of billionaires getting together and creating new institutions and this post on their car on they lived in this echelon this is rural onto their own was you know and you really see how they lose touch with you know the normal ordinary person. Democratic president ial hopeful joe biden is palms feeling more confident now over the sex abuse scandal hes been dragged into of late than suffer the media started to play on the front one of his accusers lawyers appeared to be a long standing supporter of President Trump the other one previously worked for the Russian News Agency sputnik all that ignoring the fact the lead sex assault happened back in 1993 when the full story after this break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or. Im sure. Ill see you then. I will make sure words less trustworthy in the current us political and media circles that seem to any connection to russia or president woman who accused democratic nominee joe biden of carrying out a Sexual Assault back in the ninetys is now being treated as a russian agent for exactly that so i ask you to look at what stands behind the accusations so many of us the law passed that time to explore new things in my days of solitude i think how do you my skills and i want to show you guys something i think what i call it the dark. Democrats the. Character. Russian national she trotted out the troops that have always had a lot of president ok im ready. Like my fellow democrats i was blindsided by the section of some of accusations made against you by to by someone tara reid i mean i know some woman has come forward for accused by reason of your already im caught with that snipping and touching and there are all these photos of him and then theres the hash i keep job i said but i think that saying no no somethings fishy here and its recent days new evidence has come to my revealing reids accusations for what they really are a huge russian conspiracy an attempt to get that pop it up and that it not to fasten our bells when i saw who is representing Reid Torah Regis go to new lawyer his name is Douglas Wigdor he supported donald trump in the 2016 election and gave 55000. 00 to the troubled campaign and the r. And c. Ger in that cycle surprised coincidence i think not i mean we do did also donate to a bunch of Democratic Candidates and 516 and he defended fox employees in a jet to discrimination case and he did so represent Christine Lacy for what she confronted by counting up but that wasnt my argument that lets just forget also making the super suspicious the other lawyer being defended by one of the tour knees working for terror read is bill moore im a former employee of sputnik the russian governments english language propaganda arm i mean i couldnt put it better than this very professional and unbiased and i said see john list between that and read alexandra lawyer who was fired from sputnik yes that sputnik could get this incorrectly reporting a wiki leaks story something about this whole story and its timing stinks to high heaven also seen. To high heaven the fact that we test self is p. T. A question pont i mean she criticized America Chris imperialism whatever that means and last she talked about president putin back chested on a horse she literally wrote a love letter to the murderer trying to keep biden from the white house. Yet the New York Times is calling for the d. N. C. To establish a truth panel and investigation for what we all know the real truth to the kremlin has been cooking us up for decades they thought all the way back in 1000 times to the bike one day run for president so they plucked a random young doctor put herself in a lifelong psychologically damaging situation to see she qualified to when he finally got close to kicking chum out of the white house but she had to make it believable so they got several people in on it to be like her exhusband on several occasions petitioner tara reid related a problem that she was having at work regarding Sexual Harassment and u. S. Senator joe bidens office and her ex neighbor i remember her saying here was this person that she was working for him she added lies to him and he kind of put her against a wall and he put his hand up her skirt and he couldnt spinners insider she found that she was assaulted and she really didnt feel there was anything she could do and even a mother im wondering what. Would you do besides go to the press in washington my daughter is there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problems i mean like hes already payrolls if you contrast that thing that comes out of his mouth anyway that when the cavanagh case came along they probably thought they had it in the bag women do not sit around making these things up these women have come forward knowing they have everything to lose they thought that will do it these women who hounded cavanagh comments like double standards to that oath presumptive president ial nominee who should not be running on character for the president the United States you want him to withdraw i wish he would well have a home because what a woman says nice things about russia and goes off to my candidate the only one that. Not to shake the on his 7 year old life as much prissy as i could think to into my hash times up. So what you think. You were. Too subtle its going to. Go on a lift and for the most the police of the into sex scandal around joe budden house proved the hypocritical true of the bt but the truth is now that were seen this with joe biden with cher reid is that its not me too for all women its me too only to protect the women that accuse donald trump or his associates its only me to if you accuse somebody who we dont like if you accuse one of our guys we cant really believe what you say thats absolutely duplicitous and its exactly what this Movement Similar movements have been supposed to stand against this is complete have seen were finding out more and more that the Democratic Party in america and that includes a lot of the Mainstream Media outlets that the Mainstream Media the Democratic Party in america are just theyre just interested in helping themselves they do not care about women they only care about women that are going to help their political and their social causes thats all they care about as women for their own political gain if it hurts their political gain those women can be tossed aside.

Atomic so this is this is my 15 month old son whos playing by whos solved as are most of the other kids in the park normally there would be a single patch of grass available to sit on the little erie out here. So scoring team in new york is a little bizarre because theres theres like 2 worlds right so were in a world where we feel very isolated were working from home but were still working and then theres this like other part of new york that we dont see when you look at like the map of how it is living some of the wealthier neighborhoods its been far more contained and the numbers are much lower than some of the poor neighborhoods its like 2 different worlds like i dont know whats going on over there or talk to be honest.
