Operations. Good morning from russia just turned 11 am here my name is kevin knowing that arties world knew center with the latest 30 minute round up for you because stay with me to take you through the news today then starting with not great news france has set a new daily Record Record for covered with more than 16000 cases registered in the last 24 hours or wednesday the french government announced the new measures to try to contain the spread of the virus Health Authorities have set up graded danger levels to try to cover alert reinforced alert and maximum alert zones areas with more than 150. 00 cases per 100000 people as shown in red while the worst hit areas with more than 250. 00 cases per 100000 dark red and face the strictest measures but Business Owners a few. Many have taken to the streets in paris warning they simply wont survive fresh closures bars and restaurants have already been ordered to shutter must say why. The red zones in paris are Opening Hours from next week been restricted to 10 pm and discontent is spiralling. You know my mother now sometimes we cant travel on the metro close to each other masked how is it that we cannot be in a bar or restaurant respecting the instructions and rules imposed have to log down rules to divorce majority respect. Support of the people of my bring them all my friendship and solidarity it can happen to paris in a few days time and if they ask us to close we will no longer be able to return today we say let us work we want to be able to work we know how to work and we know what precautions to take. There are health rules to apply we apply them but on the other hand the government is bludgeoning us they are hitting us with this but you should know that they can hit even harder so today we are here calmly but it can quickly escalate. Despite the anger on the practical side of this french dr mark told us 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 do 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. Britain could soon become the 1st country to carry out socalled challenge trials where the Coronavirus Vaccine it would involve deliberately exposing volunteers to the live virus the Financial Times newspaper citing insiders working on the project then saying the trials could start in january at a quarantine facility in london volunteers will reportedly receive a vaccine and then a dose of the actual virus a month later but theres been an online backlash over the questionable morality of the move volunteers or not how can this be ethical when corona virus infection can be fatal one day what we would be saying about this if it was russia not u. K. Project risky reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky as a human challenge trials while the academic lead on the trials did not confirm the report the British Government is also not confirmed details of the scheme but has said its open to conducting such studies. Its quite unusual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a back seat would. Wouldnt be so would be so strong its not optimal an optimal way of doing it ideally youd let people get the. Virus normally but needs must when the devil droid with our backs are against the wall 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 they need to its a sub optimal way of doing trials no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country in the spring were gummed up 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 so the hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem. Meantime medics in 11 moscow poly clinics on the front lines of the n. T. Code fighting started taking shots of the new russian vaccine against corona virus we spoke to a medical worker who battled the smallpox i could epidemic back in the 1960 s. And is now one of the 1st to get the new job. As soon as i heard there would be in 3 days of the vaccine trial and there would be a lot of people i told my daughter please sign me out i want to be vaccinated. Of all who might be given a vaccination none of them have come back and reported any side effects. I 1st and foremost have never been afraid of getting a vaccination ive gotten them since i was a child i was given a little bottle with a not pure lieschen and then i was vaccinated without any fear or tears and due to my profession and down plenty of an occupation. The way from covert next of the news Major Car Companies including tesla filed lawsuits against the trumpet but destruction for unlawful touch riffs on chinese made parts as the u. S. President s trade war on beijing leaves american firms struggling to find alternative manufacturers Saskia Taylor reports. 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 course and the impact of profitability due to the complexity of the model 3 car computer and the demanding timelines 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 why welty 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 in a piece 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 how all these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing that 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 u. S. Is decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and is enlarged nonu. S. Markets well. The u. S. Market for chinese products has shrunk so chinas overall exports keep growing better words 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 and the u. S. Trade deficit with china is almost 10 percent more than one trump said those wads and 4 years on it looks like its now tester and co who are the ones looking into that piggy banks and saying empty words not those gold coins they were promised. Rights activists in britain are warning against the new legislation to cover agents get away with serious crimes including murder. There is a grave danger that this bill could and are providing informers agents with a license to kill it is deeply alarming that the proposed law does not explicitly prohibit and my 5 and other agencies from authorizing crimes like torture and killing it must be amended to do so so the new legislation will be introduced this week to allow agents to carry out necessary and proportionate offenses the full list of crimes that can be allowed is not disclosed but it seems allegedly the bill sets no limits the government insists the bills compliant with the European Convention on human rights and to doesnt provide a license to kill we discussed the issue with former British Intelligence agent sean. Our spy agencies in the u. K. Are the most legally protected and least accountable of any spy agencies in any notion of 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 with others like 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 death and it could march to the home secretary. And then they would have immunity and that is why do you come 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 gained and so its a sort of a state of notional democratic oversight and notionally National Legal protection but actually i think its part of a bigger power grab thats going on amongst our intelligence agencies. Around the world in 60 seconds more than 100 firefighters working through the night with chainsaws to try to get to burning parts of a church that was being built in berlin because of the fire theyre still being investigated no casualties at least from the reported talking of fire another horrendous blaze this time in argentina is torched thousands of hectares of grassland and pine forests a heat wave in strong winds in a number of provinces of foundered fueled those flames activists are warning of an environmental disaster as the raging wildfires burn out of control the.

Military oil or gas set since its come to 40 minutes past 11 moscow time im kevin this is a very good morning coming up britons held a commitment to a new Energy Source but. Oil mages critics sniff a trick may be coming up after the break. As the calls for war consumes american politics during this election cycle the economy remains in a big area state millions of margins the only constant for them is insecurity economists debate and eventual recovery they speak of the you know what is the reality. Of this. Morning that well the 100 media organizations about the highly divisive decision by the french satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to republish cartoons about the islamic religion shiela dubin scheme paris picks up a story. In the wake of all this surely 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 sharply to use as it is described as being essential but it provokes condemnation from several muslim countries such a deliberate act to offend the sentiments of billions of muslims cannot be justified as an excuse and press freedom or freedom of expression such actions undermine the global aspirations for peaceful coexistence as well as social and interfaith harmony and soon the publication the magazine received death threats. Charlie 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 stand by the magazine more than a 100 french news outlets have offered their 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 ed to 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 to 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 r. T. Is also in the president s firing line. Rushes in speed nick have not behaved as Media Outlets and journalists but his agencies of influence and propaganda rushdie and speak nick have several times bred 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 towards 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 care and outright provocation the likes of sholay ed 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 color t. V. 14 hour us. Prince announced a massive commitment to socalled Green Hydrogen as part of efforts to be Carbon Neutral but 2050 Prime Minister Boris Johnson says hes a convert. Quite extraordinary potential we are hopeful when we want to lead in Carbon Capture and storage of technology i barely believe was possible but im not a complete evangelist. We want to use those technologies to develop a lot of hydrogen to put a great big bit on hydrogen. Thought a lot of purposes and not least the ability that hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt for. The trucks the trains even perhaps the plains vehicles so on pay per Green Hydrogen seems to be an excellent alternative to fossil fuels its made using Renewable Energy and the only by products are oxygen and water but professor of Mechanical Engineering david seebohm points out the technology is in fact incredibly inefficient. Buzan in economy. Through green green arjun you have to build a very large amount of renewable electricity just to give you an example if you power home heating directly through with city or you do the same thing through hydrogen you need 6 times more electricity to do it through harvard and we are at a time in human life when the amount of renewable electricity is limited scarce there is not freely available interest in trying to to. To her own eyes the entire Global Energy system and to require 6 times more power for one system than another its completely obvious that you dont want to do that the Hydrogen Task force a lobbying group founded by the likes of oil giants b. P. And shell has been pushing the government to commit to hydrogen for the long run one of the goals is 100 percent Clean Hydrogen hating of for the country by 2025 theres also a call for Financial Support to build Hydrogen Fuel stations for road transport but critics of the dash to hydrogen warn fossil fuel mages know and wont solve the planets climate goals. We know that Global Warming is dangerous the additional danger here is that is that this gesture hydrogen is is going to cause a lot more delay what we will see and theres no doubt that well see that hydrogen is far too expensive for vehicles and too expensive for home heating we know that we know thats going to happen but its going to take quite a few years before people realize that thats the dash to hydrogen which is being promoted by a very powerful international lobby. In the in the in the fossil fuel industry well thats doing is causing delays its causing electrification projects not to happen its causing governments not to make decisions about what to do and you remember that we only have until 2040 to completely decarbonise if were going to get to one of the 2 groups of Global Warming its detrimental to Carbon Emissions its detrimental to energy usage there to mental to the current position rates and still a commendable to the Energy Security so its got everything there that and nothing good with it. Does the battle for the u. S. Presidency Gains Momentum donald trump suggested he may not accept defeat and peaceful transfer of power if he loses the race which has shocked rival joe biden and his caleb maupin looks at how history might repeat itself in the Supreme Court should the election and in stalemate. 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 you have to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots in the ballot surges esther and been able to ride the youth commit to making sure that theres a nice little worries for all of the we want to have get rid of the ballots and you have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there will be a transfer frankly there will be a continuation that sounds pretty ominous if youre a democrat and its given fuel to joe bidens part of trump as a would be dictator were pretty cruel. Being facetious i said what country or were you. Says the most rational thing. Mother would 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 majority the passing of Supreme Court just. 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.
