PoliticsReuters VideosTrump blasts 'left wing cultural revolution'
Speaking underneath a famed landmark that depicts four U.S. presidents, Trump warned that the demonstrations over racial inequality in American society threatened the foundations of the U.S. political system. "Make no mistake, this left wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution," Trump said. "Our children are taught in school to hate their own country," he added. The event drew an estimated 7,500 people, packed tightly into an amphitheater beneath the famed landmark that depicts the images of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Masks were offered to attendees but many did not wear them. Trump has held three public events that have drawn thousands of supporters over the past three weeks, despite warnings from public-health officials who have urged Americans to avoid large gatherings as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage the country. Seven states posted a record number of new COVID-19 cases on Friday.

PoliticsReuters VideosTrump vows Mount Rushmore will 'stand forever'
"This monument will never be desecrated, these heroes will never be defaced," Trump said as he began the speech. Native American protesters were arrested after blocking a road to the South Dakota landmark, according to video livestreamed on social media. They have criticized Trump's visit for increasing the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus and for celebrating U.S. independence in an area that is sacred to them. Trump will view a fireworks display as part of July 4 celebrations at the monument, which depicts the images of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. A Trump campaign official said the president, who has criticized protesters for tearing down statues during demonstrations against racial inequality, would criticize people who are trying to "tear down" the United States. The president has come under criticism for his reaction to nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis. Trump has emphasized a "law and order" response to the demonstrations.

HealthReuters VideosGilead's remdesivir gets conditional EU clearance
Gilead Sciences just nabbed another huge potential customer for its drug remdesivir. The European Commission said Friday it had granted its conditional approval for the use of the antiviral drug in severe COVID-19 patients. That makes it the region's first authorized therapy to treat the virus. The U.S. has already cleared it for emergency use. Gilead said Japan, Taiwan, India, Singapore and the UAE have also approved it as a COVID-19 therapy. Remdesivir is in high demand because it helped shorten hospital recovery times in a clinical trial. Administered intravenously, the drug is generally being used on patients sick enough to require hospitalization. Gilead has allocated nearly all of its supply to the U.S over the next three months. The Commission said it's in talks with Gilead to get doses for the 27 European Union countries.

NewsReuters VideosKhashoggi death: 20 go on trial in absentia
A Turkish court put 20 Saudi officials on trial in absentia on Friday (July 3) for the gruesome killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018 when he went there seeking papers for his marriage. According to prosecutors, he was suffocated and his body dismembered. Some Western governments, as well as the CIA, said they believed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing - an accusation Saudi officials denied. The indictment accuses two top Saudi officials of instigating, quote, "premeditated murder with monstrous intent". They are former deputy head of Saudi Arabia's general intelligence Ahmed al-Asiri and former royal court adviser Saud al-Qahtani. The indictment also says 18 other defendants were flown to Turkey to kill Khashoggi, a well-connected journalist who'd grown increasingly critical of the crown prince. Speaking outside the courthouse in Istanbul on Friday, his fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, said she hoped justice would prevail. The defendants are being tried in absentia, and are unlikely to ever be handed over by Saudi Arabia. It has accused Turkey of failing to cooperate with a separate, largely secretive trial in Riyadh last year. In December, a Saudi court sentenced five people to death and three to jail for the killing. But Khashoggi's family later said they forgave his murderers, effectively granting them a formal reprieve under Saudi law. Rights campaigners hope that the Istanbul trial will throw a fresh spotlight on the case, and strengthen the argument for sanctions against Riyadh. It remains unclear what Khashoggi's killers did with his body.
ScienceReuters VideosMystery elephant deaths may have devastating consequences
As authorities in Botswana continue to investigate the mysterious deaths of hundreds of elephants in the Okavango Delta, one NGO said on Friday (July 3), the event could have a "devastating" impact on the species. The dead elephants were first spotted months ago, with poaching ruled out as the cause of death, as the carcasses were found still intact. Founder and director of Elephants for Africa Dr Kate Evans. "The word mysterious has been used, and I guess because it's unknown. It's not unheard of to have die-off of elephants and, of course, other species. And one of the likely candidates at first was anthrax, which is common in Botswana. But it's the wrong time of year for that, so that has been ruled out. But we did have an outbreak in November of last year. So that was ruled out because we've since had good rains, and I'm sure the avenues being investigated are likely to be a bacterial infection or indeed a virus." Since the late 1990s Botswana has seen its elephant numbers steadily increase. But a report prepared for the government by a separate conservation organisation said aerial surveys showed that elephants of all ages appeared to be dying. Evans says the deaths are particularly concerning for other areas with smaller elephant numbers. ''I mean we only have less than 400,000 elephants throughout the African continent, which is vast. And so if this was a disease, or virus, or a bacterial outbreak, that was to spread, as I mentioned earlier, if a smaller, less genetically diverse population were affected, then it could have devastating consequences for the elephant population, and therefore the economy and the environment of the host countries as well." Dr Evans says the deaths have come at a difficult time, with charities and conservation efforts hit hard by limited resources and funding cuts.
PoliticsReuters VideosPresident Macron picks new prime minister
President Emmanuel Macron has named Jean Castex as his new prime minister -- in an attempt to reinvent his administration and win back voters. 55-year-old Castex is a top civil servant and a local mayor who orchestrated France's lockdown exit strategy. He hails from the center-right of French politics and served for two years as the second-highest-ranking official in the Elysee Palace during Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency. An Elysee official described Castex as a senior civil servant whose experience in local politics would help Macron connect with provincial France. The announcement followed the resignation of Edouard Philippe, a figure some political analysts say was more popular than the president himself. But after his party’s dire showing in nationwide municipal elections on June 28, Macron wanted an overhaul. He’s reshaping his government as France grapples with its deepest economic depression since World War Two, a sharp downturn that will shrink the economy by about 11% in 2020 and reverse hard-fought gains on unemployment. Investors will be watching to see if Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire keeps his job -- as he’s overseen reforms to liberalize the economy and spent big to keep companies like Air France and Renault afloat during the crisis. As for Macron and Philippe, the pair dined together on Wednesday and met on Thursday. An Elysee source described the discussions as warm and friendly. Saying both men agreed on "the need for a new government to embody the next phase and a new path."

NewsReuters VideosTravel awaits as England to end quarantine
Britain will end quarantines for people arriving in England from more than 50 countries, authorities announced on Friday (July 3). Travellers from Germany, France, Spain and Italy are all welcome, but not from the U.S.. The move due to come in from July 10 clears the way for millions of British tourists to take summer holidays without having to be quarantined when they come home. But those heading back from higher-risk countries will still have to self-isolate for 14 days. The rules only apply in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not announced plans to lift quarantine rules. The full list of countries has not been published yet, but the U.S. will stay on a so-called 'red list'. British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said there is no reciprocal arrangement in place with the U.S. as of yet. The government said it expected countries on the quarantine-free list to relax their own restrictions for British travellers. Three of Europe’s biggest airlines have now ended a legal challenge against the British government, due to the new rules scrapping quarantine for some travellers. British Airways, Ryanair and easyJet, had criticized the quarantine policy, saying it dealt a catastrophic blow to the industry this summer. Britain is slowly reopening its economy. England and Northern Ireland will reopen pubs this weekend, and Scotland and Wales are expected to follow later in July.
NewsReuters VideosAnger as Air France cuts jobs despite bailout
Protests Friday (July 3) outside Air France offices in Paris. That as the airline looks set to shed around 7,500 jobs. The cuts will affect about 15% of the firm’s employees, including pilots, stewards and ground staff. At least half that number is likely to entail voluntary departures and retirement plans. But that still leaves the prospect of thousands of compulsory redundancies. And that has sparked anger, coming just weeks after chief executive Ben Smith secured a state bailout valued at 7 billion euros - or almost 7.9 billion dollars. Long-time staffer Valerie Raphel joined the protests: "Yes, we have a feeling of injustice, we also have a feeling of betrayal and of complicity with the government because the state didn't impose compromises on Benjamin Smith in terms of preserving jobs in exchange for the billions of euros that have been loaned to us.” On Friday ministers called on Air France to pursue cutbacks ‘responsibly’, urging it to avoid forcible departures. The airline says it has no choice but to make changes though. Like rivals, it’s been hard hit by the global slump in air travel. It’s the French half of the broader Air France-KLM group. The Dutch government has given KLM a bailout worth 3.4 billion euros - about 3.8 billion dollars. Friday’s news caps a bad few days for airlines and their suppliers. Plane maker Airbus said this week it would cut 15,000 jobs across Europe. Budget airline easyJet laid off more workers, and rival Ryanair warned that thousands of jobs could be at risk.

StyleReuters VideosAn 'augmented reality' mirror for makeup shopping
Want to know what shade of lipstick or brand of mascara will suit your face without having to touch it? A new augmented reality mirror can help. In use at the Seoul flagship boutique of cosmetics powerhouse Amorepacific, the mirror takes a photograph of the customer's face and analyses it. It then recommends products based on skin texture, while addressing blemishes, wrinkles or dark circles. Customers can then see a computer-generated image of what they would look like using certain cosmetics. And in times of social distancing, the technology is a hit with shoppers. "Due to coronavirus, it was uncomfortable to test cosmetics after someone had used them. However, this is very convenient as I can see the actual colour on my face in a form of AR image without even touching my face," In addition to social distancing, South Korean government guidelines recommend shoppers try cosmetics on the backs of their hands, not on their faces. To minimise human contact and limit the risk of virus spread, the shop has also put QR codes next to all products on display. Customers can check details with their mobile phones instead of talking to staff. South Korea has been praised for how it has handled COVID-19. But Asia's fourth-largest economy has also experienced persistent outbreaks in recent weeks, mostly in the capital.

NewsReuters Videos'Leopold' removed from name of mountain range
The sweeping King Leopold mountain ranges in the Kimberley region of Western Australia have been renamed Wunaamin Miliwundi-- replacing the name of a Belgian ruler known for his brutal colonization of parts of Africa. The ranges were named in 1879 by Australian explorer Alexander Forrest. The decision follows nearly a decade of debate. Its new name combines names by which the Ngarinyin and Bunuba traditional owners have long called the ranges. Ben Wyatt is Western Australia's Aboriginal affairs minister. ''I think this is a much more respectful and historically correct name for a dramatic, beautiful part of Western Australia. A part of Western Australia that Australians and international travellers are keen to see more of, and has always been, I think, slightly perplexed that even as the Belgians go about almost disowning the history of King Leopold, that here in Western Australia we have what is an exceptional part of our state still named after him." Millions of Congolese people are estimated to have died under Leopold's rule between 1885 and 1908. Statues of him have been burnt, removed and vandalized across Belgium in recent weeks, with Belgian King Philippe expressing his, quote, deep regret to the Congolese President on Tuesday (June 30).
