Movies legally void. Moscow time monday morning my name is kevin i would hear it arties world to say q. With a brand new round of the days going ok so far let me take you through the headlines that in more detail 1st europe is standing ready to bring in new restrictions amid a surge in coronavirus cases both france and spain said daily records and infections this last weekend with a top british scientist warning that his countrys at a critical point in the pandemic lets go live to our europe correspondent shot to do penske charlotte. A lot of people pointing the finger nails around the world particularly in europe whats going to happen worrying developments on the way. Well thats right more than half of the departments here in france are now considered to be red zones which means that there is an active circulation of the 19 virus the country also recorded its highest daily record for the number of covert positive test cases around 13 and a half 1000 people in 24 hours those were the figures released on saturday now there is a huge rate of testing going on in france more than a 1000000 tests a week and overall the rate of positivity is around 5. 7 percent but whats really concerning are the number of hospital admissions which are now going up quite rapidly we saw 227 additional admissions on saturday meaning that there are around 3800. 00 people currently in hospital now all of those almost 600. 00 are in intensive care now in parts of the country already intensive care units are at capacity so that is what is worrying officials in those parts of france here in paris and the even defense region which is the area around paris it is only at about 20 percent capacity but there are were on is that there will be a high tension particularly in the next 2 to 3 weeks. For the past 10 days weve seen a significant daily increase in cases the 2nd wave is here and its time to deal with it its not the tidal wave that we experienced march in the intensive care units overall not overloaded but we feel that were at a Tipping Point where there has been a huge demand for those coded 900 tests so much so that in eve de france 20 new Testing Centers are opening or monday and they will give results within 24 hours for priority cases so people whove got symptoms of 1000. 00 or perhaps have been referred there by a doctor now in other parts of france there are new restrictions coming in. Into force particularly nice where groups of no more than 10 will be allowed in areas such as parks beaches or gardens and those are restrictions that are similar to other cities such as marsay and bordeaux lets take stock now of whats happening across the English Channel in the u. K. Where the chief medical officer there is warning that the country is at a critical point and is heading in the wrong direction this comes as the u. K. Government is now considering apparently a chew week locked down in and the u. K. s Health Secretary has said that nothing is being ruled out. Will be increasingly stringent on the people who are not following the rules as everybody follows the rules then we can avoid. National lock downs. Well there are already fines of up 210000 pounds for people who defied 1000 regulations such as the requirement to self isolate if they have symptoms and of course the government is encouraging people to snoop on others including on their neighbors if they breach the rules of no more than 6 now matt hancock not only defended that idea of people snooping on their neighbors but said that he would call the police himself if he saw more than 6 adults conjugating to gether so much so that some people have described him now as being a tinpot dick tator now some areas of the u. K. Are of course already on egypt many lockdowns parts of the north of england and also parts of wales but despite that protests against the coburg 19 restrictions continue over the weekend in london more than a 1000 demonstrators headed out to the street to show that they were unhappy with those restrictions there were dozens of arrests. Thanks to. Her and her and her original. Were back here on the continent there are also news directions coming into force in parts of spain in madrid on the region around the spanish capital some 850000 people now facing Restrictive Movement as the country is trying to what it says stem the idea of a 2nd wave of kopechne 1000 from monday people will not be able to leave their neighborhoods in those regions. For all but essential reasons this comes as the World Health Organization is also concerned about what it describes as a worryingly high rate of transmission of kofi 1000. 00 and saying that the situation here in europe it considered still be very serious on a daily basis now as those transmission rates are going up and up governments across europe are having to make some very difficult decisions you know what a year its been charleville year it was predicted broke seems to be happening that 2nd wave all across europe of the rest of the world the looks of it shallow develop for now keep us posted thanks for the update. Next lets focus on. Another day of mass arrest over the weekend 6 weeks on from the contested election thousands gathered in minsk on sunday then calling on president looking to resign. It. Be time opposition leaders for a dollar took it off sky will visit the European Parliament later today shes meeting with e. U. Foreign ministries to try to discuss the situation in belarus and more details after she demanded protesters in the country be released from detention it comes to as personal data of 2000 Police Officers there has been leaked to the public our Senior Correspondent burgos de of picks up the story. Just as with any d add on the most zation operation the goal is sheer terror even and the better russian opposition makes no secret of what it is doing join us they say or we will ruin your life. The main goals of this channel are to track down every criminal that has committed a crime against his own nation to collect as much information as possible about that individual and also to create a special database which anyone in free bellerose can use to check whether they potential worker partner or anyone they meet has committed a crime against humanity next to poland based and public ganda outlets recently dumped the names and personal details of belorussian policeman into the Public Domain police are not without fault suppression of protests arrests and physical violence towards demonstrators unorganised were brutal and the public was outraged but the opposition feeds on that outrage stoking anger with fake news and hysterical nonsense Armed Russian special forces and dragon our fellow citizens by the hair is this normal are you willing to tolerate this nectar apologized for that saying it is impossible to verify every message that they get such as the actual guilt of the policeman whose names and addresses and telephone numbers and even relatives they published next to and other opposition outlets dont bother proving their guilt as was the case with nikita marching co he was falsely accused of being an agent of the state up to someone sure photo of him in military uniform it turned out he was a construct of his service that ended last year but they arent acting without support from foreign donations to the blessings of state law that he cannot scare a former candidate for president during the election in august to this since fled to lithuania she says anyone in uniform who supports her rival current president you can change who is fair game Law Enforcement officers should remember the people of belarus who revealed the identity of those who carry out criminal orders you will have to look you people in the eyes. The same people you are supposed to protect and she doesnt seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going off the innocent people she doesnt seem to mind that not just them but also their families become the victims of Cyber Bullying and harassment and abuse and even attacks and it doesnt seem to concern her that it isnt just police or Law Enforcement that a targeted but also rescues teaches and even judge a list. In the midst of this it is a shame to have been forced to record this media because of harrison and press and instances tell us me and my family as a result of false information on the internet as these help me share say so that lies dont spread conde and done time me and my family. To do to become. Journalists to one of our road constantine but the by law for example who has faced a tsunami of Death Threats at the behest of opposition media ok discuss that of course it is frightening so i dont know whats going through their heads someone from the opposition texted me and telegram saying look after yourself or a brick will find your head but at least hes just texting there could be someone else who will actually pick up a brick if they want me to go away then yes i will leave someday but not because of them not because of a text or a phone call another journalist had his caught torched off the activist posted the picture of the vehicle on telegraph with government insignia who used to hide in the pictures the veiled threats the Fear Campaign they. Did anyone who disagrees with him get tens of thousands of better russians dont suffer from sleepless nights doesnt bother them they laugh it off at the cost of the logic behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really are that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets yes information bullets these blacklists and tera campaigns are doing the opposition any favors losing thousands already in the least only more determined to prevent the vigilantes and bullies from coming to power if they do things like these such horrific things now and laugh about it what will they do when they come to power and ordinary belorussians to they didnt sign up for this they dont want the nation divided into leasts and costs the unclean and the blessid opposition at that shows the more radical and hateful the oppositions message the fewer turn up to their protests. Leaders a slamming the us decision to unilaterally reimpose un sanctions on iran lifted as part of the 2050 nuclear deal secretary of state might pompei are citing concerns than over irans alleged weapons programs adding that the u. N. Agreement was silly. Every effort on the work that needs to be done they have no option no alternative to what weve done there is there wedded to this silly nuclear deal. France germany and the United Kingdom knew that the us ceased to be a participant to the. Full and their withdrawal from the you on the 8th of may 2008 consequently the purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the United Nations Security Council is going to lay sources more than for europe correspondent peter all of a morning paper so what more reaction has there been to these u. S. Sanctions a lot of people very unhappy over. What the message coming from washington seems to be there will be sanctions reimposed if you dont like those sanctions then your against arson face being sanctions yourself in turn these sanctions that are being brought in by the United States relate to you raney im enrichment and an embargo on conventional weapons being sold to iran they were lifted 5 years ago by then president barack obama that came about alongside the signing of the g. C. Peel away the joint coop comprehensive plan of action which is more commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal it was in 2018 though that donald trump unilaterally pulled the u. S. Out of that deal and that has well been a book there between the United States on one side and everybody else who signed that deal on the other it wasnt just the u. S. Involved not of course it was a deal between iran china Russia Germany france the United Kingdom and with the backing of the you were peon union as a whole as well as the United States now the likes of france and germany are deeply unhappy with this move by washington and they are the only ones. The fact is that the u. N. Security council has not taken any action that would lead to a restoration of sanctions against iran everything washington is doing is just a theater performance aimed at subordinate in the Security Council to pressure paula see and turn in their organization into 2 of the United States. So pay was to run a stance on this in assistance at the moment where the iranian response is to say that the u. S. Is acting like a bully essentially that the control that washington has over International Financial markets means that it can flex its muscles in this way and act unilaterally but the warning coming from tehran is that by doing so washington is essentially cutting itself off from International Partners or maybe not the International Community must decide by itself whether to stand up to the bullying unfortunately due to the u. S. Influence on Financial Markets they could apply pressure with financial sanctions of course those applying the sanctions say we did that even though we know theyre illegal since theyre powerful but its they havent noticed that the same principles will work for them to pay homage to rhonda washington on turnarounds message to washington is clear return to the Global Community return to your blue geisha and stop the rebellion and then the Global Community will accept you. While these sanctions on the on the surface target very lofty parts of a rainy in society uranium enrichment arms embargoes but the effect of them and how they trickle down is actually felt by the normal people of iran and we spoke to some of those on the streets of tehran found out what they thought about these u. S. New. I think shrimp is in a weak position hes failed in his Foreign Policy and should keep the negotiations is true that the us is left to talks but we shouldnt leave that would just help them impose more sanctions and form a coalition against us. It doesnt matter if the us reinstates the sanctions on us or not we are already under sanctions what difference does it make them. Not only only rumbled on any country or an act of cruelty against the people we have seen the economic damage in iran it affects everything and has been especially bad for young people as a young person i want to say that the think sions are an injustice. But putting the sanctions in place means donald trump gets to stick to some of the aims that hes put forward he cant get to say hes started no wars but by putting the sanctions on iran he also gets the say to those parts of the american electorate that will be casting their votes in november see im still stuck im still tough on iran. Appreciated now or donald trump in the news for next story to a part of it at least the debate around the replacement of the Late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg is heating up in the u. S. As donald trump is determined to announce his nomination as early as this week democrats in turn are demanding that no nominees are put forward until the president ial election in fact House Speaker nancy pelosi is not even ruling out impeaching trump to stop him from advancing a new candidate. Some of mention the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session that that you win this the house could move to impeach were not ruling anything out of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow inadequate Ruth Bader Ginsburgs daughter kinds of 87 on friday she served as an associate justice for 27 years and was a renowned defender of womens equality and gender equality. Has not only triggered a nationwide reaction with People Holding vigils to pay last respects to the justice but its also shaken the u. S. Political system too as a correspondent double quarter explains next this morning. Riots the coronavirus pandemic fierce political campaigning the u. S. Has already seen its share of divisions but theres more on the way the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg has just turned the countrys highest judiciary body into americas latest political battleground what. Does not understand is its fight has just begun and thats what were going to do were going to fill the series. Was. I. I i i. Feel that see this is this is yes. So whats the big deal while the Supreme Courts always had the last word on disputes between state and federal governments and controversial laws same sex marriage obamacare the trump travel ban all these policies needed the court seal of approval back in 2000 the nations highest justices even determines the president ial election outcome. Fear radically the Supreme Court is supposed to be an unbiased check on the countrys political system but its pretty clear the partisanship of 2 Party Politics almost always influences appointments there can only be 9 judges and. Each one of them either liberal or conservative and critical cases are often decided by that one odd vote at the same time theyre all appointed by the president for life after being okayed by the senate and the process often has its share of Political Drama take the latest case conservative judge Brett Kavanaugh who was given the job by trump and 2018 a woman says the president s u. S. Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her an additional anonymous allegation of physical assault against brett having a new Sexual Misconduct allegations President Trump coming to his defense theyre going to be dealing with credibility issues around judge cavanagh this was a candidate that was a bad choice even before the allegations came out there are still really over the Brett Kavanaugh nomination i didnt trump has appointed more federal judges Supreme Court judges then anyone almost in history but this is going to be the most rancorous the most i mean you are going to see her and anger president said last night that he wants to appoint a woman good luck for her good good luck for her her family what theyre going to put her through i can only imagine. But with ginsburg seat open were seeing the exact same situation as when Antonin Scalia died back in 2016 but the sides are reversed eventually trump was able to appoint a conservative to fill scalias position but that was only after a long struggle between former president barack obama and the republican dominated senate now the democrats are preparing for payback 4 and a half years ago republicans invented the principle that the senate shouldnt feel an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in a basic principle of the law is that we apply rules with consistency and not bs them whats convenient or advantages and the moment. Mitch mcconnell. And his henchmen believe that they can ram through a Supreme Court justice only 45 days from the election voters should pick the president the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider before ginsburgs death conservatives already had a 54 majority over liberals in the Supreme Court on the one hand trumps got a small window to form a conservative supermajority of 6 to 3 with the senates help on the other the democrats are already trying to stall the appointment until the president ial election no matter which president ial candidate wins be a trump or biden theres no doubt this decision will seriously influence the amount of power they come to office with when you consider that you have lifetime tenure the Supreme Court justices appointed for life the impact that they have is absolutely in comprehensible on every particular issue that you can imagine because remember the way our system works is we have 3 different we have 3 Different Levels of governance the executive is a president the legislative is congress but did you get cheri in each of them share power but what a Supreme Court judge justice excuse me can do is is inexplicable in comprehensible so yes it truly matters. Theres going to be a lot more i dont but in the week well be covering it but thats it so far this monday morning from the outside World News Center reporting from moscow kevin oh in signing off for now for me in the morning i was watching another great.

His 1st words were at long last year a challenging post youve got 2 years to live. I have no doubt that what happened was criminal. Defense calls in trademark it is a 1000000000. 00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to solve these problems there are numerous talking showing that doctors were keen to chest x. Ray concentrate straight infectivity on that patient gives them doctors the wrong choice to play golf or turn to stone why they would give me consecutive doses day. And people still die i dont know which question or so i tried being allowed to live when so many have the full. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person and those with. No dares thinks.
