Very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us this hour we begin as always with the latest figures on kobe had 19 the Global Pandemic is still raging the number of confirmed coronavirus cases has now surpassed 3000000 when the 925000 people have recovered but the number of fatalities has risen to more than 211000. Now germany has mortality rate from code 1000. 00 has been much lower than some other e. U. States thats and encouraged it to reopen small shops and some schools but with political pressure growing to go much further to kick start the economy scientists fear that could trigger a deadly 2nd wave so to fully lift the lockdown or not at all the reports. One of german politics as elder statesman has ruffled a few feathers with his comments putting economics of the health when it comes to the corona pandemic if there is an absolute value in our base ignore toll it is Human Dignity it is untouchable but it doesnt rule out that we have to die. Some of president votes can show blues words cold blooded others saying that its a realistic view that some people will die but all businesses shouldnt have to we must not leave decisions to the viral juice alone but must also weigh up the Enormous Economic social psychological and other implications to simply decommission everything for 2 years would have terrible consequences but whatever you make of the former finance ministers words one German Company that is set to receive Financial Aid is the budget allying cond or the economics minister saying that they good for the over 500000000 euro worth of loans theyre set to receive the company was a healthy and profitable in normal times and has good prospects bailing out condo has turned attention towards a potentially much larger risky package for aviation colossus and german flag carrier lufthansa 10000000000. 00 euro could be required keeping the Airlines Planes grounded its costing a reported 1000000 euro per hour and cash reserves are running out economy minister altmire wasnt giving anything away on the details of that deal but has said as far as the government is concerned theres a future for lufthansa we want large and Important Companies that play a role in the world market to remain competitive after the crisis while a lot of attention is turning to relaxing restrictions and opening germany back up scientists and doctors are saying they sorry if theyre coming across as the bad guys economically but their advice remains if you dont want to spread the virus keep it locked down in germany people see that their hospitals are not overwhelmed so they dont understand why their shops have to shut they only look at whats happening here or not of the situation in say new yorkers pain this is the prevention paradox and for many germans im the evil guy who is crippling the economy European Union transfer. Ministers will hold a Video Conference on wednesday where theyll be discussing the future of air travel across the block as we end so what should be the busy Summer Holiday period for airlines peter all of. Martin doul their member of the Hamburg Parliament for the left party it breaks down the options the governments facing but we can use corona and different either you use it for the measure arent you of the people so. This definition it will tell the system but if you want to start with. A criminal record to us you do Something Like the German Government anyway it was the care of each where they see. Who you rule for the Big Companies have to give 50000000000 euros for Small Companies and for the social system and the doctor on. Wants to bring forward the locked all must act all the time this is the only where you. Have to see what we can do tristan realised was so if you got not what the case is that. This is leading to a dead end streets. The french government is set to announce the evening of quarantine restrictions as some e. U. Members like to return to a some length of life charlotte n. C. Has the details. We know that the french Prime Minister will stick to the plan which is to gradually ease the lock down from may the left rules here in france i mean some schools and businesses will start to reopen after those kinds of already been attacked by teachers who are unhappy that the schools are reopened meanwhile Restaurant Owners that is either happy that their business is and not of monks those that are set to open on may 11th however we also have been told that social distancing will remain in force here in france for the forseeable future and it appears that the french themselves are becoming a bit sort of fed up with pain locked up cooped up in their apartments over the last 2 days there have been several instances of people blatantly ringback flouting the lockdown regulations including one street party in the lot district of paris. Now and so its also working towards de confinement with face to beginning on the 2nd of may its already be concerned that that Self Certification this is the permission slip to leave the house will continue will be obligatory in 88 ad but the list of acceptable reasons as to why people couldnt leave their homes are expected to be extended travel bans though will remain in force with the exception of those people who were cut off from their primary residence when the lockdown took place in italy they will be able to move back to their homes lets have a listen to what else giuseppe cultivate the italian Prime Minister had to say who still beyond all this plan which i present to you now starts from the 4th of may so were telling you many days in advance because its well structured well articulated well for through and it must also be accepted by you so that we can put it to work in the best way possible in addition to the degree that. Were preparing for economic measures were also preparing a parallel measure to unlock the country here it is not enough anymore to unlock individual yards we must unlock this country look well its a major bridge sorry for leases undue fourteens are allowed to leave their homes the 1st time in 6 weeks that happened over the last few days the petro scientists Prime Minister has said that while restrictions on exercise in general are about to be lifted when it comes to ending the lockdowns full he says its going to be a case still wait and see. A movie at least i would like to announce that if the evolution of the pandemic continues in a positive direction as it is doing so far starting from may the 2nd it will be permitted to go out for individual physical activities and walks with the people you live with however you must still at here to the conditions laid down by the Health Authorities well in the u. K. Boris johnson is back at the helm of to just over 3 weeks following hes an irish with 19 though in very unusual for a start school style his address to the nation lacked absolutely clear details of exactly when restrictions will be estatic i can see the long term consequences of not done as clearly as anyone and so yes i entirely share your agency its the governments urgency. And yet we must also recognise the risk of a 2nd spike a leader is an expert its a circle a defined it as to how to easys distractions to return to some sense of normality and there really is this balance and in this a competing balance between that needs all very starting at the economies which youve just been choking there for weeks and weeks upon end and sort of managing that with the fragile balance between the freedoms and safeties on. That is something that still hasnt been fully tested yet in europe. France has suffered chronic medical Staff Shortages as it struggles to contain one of europes worst coded outbreaks the system has been kept going by a large numbers of foreign doctors forced to work at a fraction of the salary and benefits enjoyed by french medics psychiatrists i mean by noumena explains why. The difference in wages depends on status we have a lot of interns these doctors are doing 3 year interned ships in their case the salaries are between 1201300 euros this is without duty allowances when these doctors complete their internships they work as Junior Doctors for 3 more years during which their work is evaluated during that time they get at most 2500. 00 euros its very little because often of these doctors work under pressure they work in the i. C. U. Use and in the Ambulance Service these are people who work between 55 and 60 hours a week the salary problem is real the difference is really significant but what is even more difficult to see is the lack of recognition in the administrative sense to work in france you have to get a french diploma you have to be french this is a general rule that is respected but the system especially Public Hospitals are coping only thanks to outside employees i mean doctors with money you diplomas. Benyamin i was born in algeria and had to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops he describes himself to get proper conditions he has signed and published a petition from more than 41000 people including doctors to Prime MinisterEdward Philippe explains why the petition wants better treatment for foreign specialists. Did you know the competence of none of the e. U. Doctors does not question everyone sees how they work especially during the crisis they have the same medical skills as their french counterparts it is not right to keep these doctors in a humiliating musician both in terms of status and salaries and thats the problem we want the Prime Minister to take urgent action so that those who are qualified who have proven their decency and ability to treat the french would be recognized. In russia there are more than 93000. 00 coronavirus cases which just under 6 and a half 1000 registered in the last 24 hours are 8000. 00 and total have already recovered but more than 800. 00 people have died here lockdown has been tough for most people but its particularly hard for those in care homes many have had essential routines and their actions put on hold but one such person nina has been lucky enough to get an offer from volunteer arena to self isolate in an apartment provided by a Russian Charity our correspondent spoke with that would. Mean the how is your life with. The and im just happy dont you want to go back to hospital. You know definitely not like you and will try doing during the day. I was trolling now during a friendship bracelet if i want to watch a movie i do actually was a cook when neither just moved in she said that at the beginning of the year she had one dream to meet Football Players. Appears before the korean teen i said i want to meet russian Football Players and the dream came true. And then inquire into she said she had another dream to move away from the Residential Care somewhere and the 2nd dream came true and. Its been more than 2 weeks since i have stepped outside of their apartment they cook down there have even celebrated a birthday together are going to told us earlier why she decided to self isolate with lena and whether many others in russia are following suit. Which africans in. Quarantine and Residential Care didnt look so secure people cant leave volunteers cant come in but the permanent workers are still there salaries are not so big so most use public transport but in Residential Care such a close place if someones infected that will be a tragedy as long as ive known enough shes always been a very optimistic person to all my questions she has always answered that everythings great but after Residential Care was close for quarantine i started to receive other messages that shes bored she feels bad not comfortable so i thought to ask nina to live with me taking into account all our messages i knew that we would find a way to live together comfortably in quarantine but of course taking people from Residential Care to quarantine is not a solution for everyone it as far as i know just around 400. 00 people since the beginning of the pandemic have been taken from such Residential Care homes not a lot. Arena is a volunteer at the Life Charity Foundation it was founded in 2009 and it uses classes training and creative interaction to help people with learning difficulties we asked a lifer at fundraiser how they continue offering help and the challenging circumstances of the lockdown. So theres a beginning of the corner virus president making corins he had to still or in many life programs now almost all of them are online its an interesting moment to work with disabled people online requires a lot of skill and perspiration even working person can be hard to meet interesting put disabled people in online its a bit harder sell he were teachers and say colleges create new formats for example we have a class through zune conferencing we teach had shell x. Or. Y. In another inspiring story and i tell you man living in siberia has swapped his teaching down for protective gear after volunteering to help the elderly and disabled in the pandemic all area gets a list of food medicines and other essentials to deliver through the day and the city across the arse he told us why he puts on a mask and gloves and gets to work. But its all about him a Foreign Language teacher i came to russia years ago for an internal ship but one of the universities here when it finished i got a job. In the country i deliberately wanted to live in russia it was on matters of principle for me there on the telly a language teacher here in russia how do you balance your main job with voluntary but this yes language teaching is my main activity and volunteering is also an essential part of my life its important to help people because by doing that we help ourselves in a way when you give something youll receive in return emotional reward cannot be overestimated. You got more news after this short break. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Him out im fascinated by. Consumer protection labels that you find on cigarette sorry find out household cleaning substances dont apply to Financial Products even though they should because many of them are hazardous to your health because theyre poorly constructed and theyre full of toxic. Welcome back u. S. Senator tom cotton has called to ban Chinese Students from studying science in his country for fear they may steal the coronavirus back scene that hasnt yet been invented with anti china rhetoric sweeping the nation cottons devise a broader has gotten a lot of support artist and explains how bilateral tensions have moved to the cluster. The rivalry between the usa and china over technology continues even amid the pandemic some politicians are pushing it pretty far arkansas senator tom cotton suggested that Chinese Students studying in america should only study the humanities or else theyll have access to secrets and knowledge that they can steal you know if Chinese Students want to come here and study shakes shakespeare in the federalist papers thats what they need to learn from america of a belt made to learn quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence from america tom cotton has been beating the anti china drum for a long time his recent remarks come across as pretty racist but hes not alone a number of voices are playing up the idea that Chinese Students in american universities are potential spies in addition to espionage and cyber theft by the ministry of state security the party task some Chinese Students and scholars in the u. S. And other Foreign Universities and Research Labs with extracting technology these are the words of h r mcmaster hes a retired Lieutenant General in the United States army as well as a former National Security advisor for the white house now hes speaking up about the need to stop china from spying all across the United States and stealing technology especially dias students now its not just politicians professors are also speaking up. Congress needs to move to restrict access by Chinese Students and researches to premier educational and Research Institutions and engineering and science labs the idea that we continue to educate scientists and engineers who will then work for companies owned by the Chinese Communist regime defines common sense these arent just words american universities are shutting down cooperation programs organized through the Confusion Institute scientists who could be helpful in fighting against coded 19 have been driven out of the country by allegations of spying now these recent words from tom cotton suggesting that there should be restrictions on what Chinese Students can and cannot study are pretty shocking but they fit into an entire atmosphere of hysteria and hostility. Artsy new york. We discussed the issue with Justin Gregory mahoney a professor at east China University he says any such ban would do more harm than good to americas Tech Industry fortunately its not the most irresponsible thing thats our cotton has had in recent times he has been one of the main programmers as an elected official of this. Bioweapon Conspiracy Theory as an explanation of the coded 19 outbreak hes politically close to donald trump hes a longstanding hawk on china so this sort of comment from him is part and parcel of his usual political rhetoric this trend is one thats been underway for several years and weve seen of course. This both within the academic and outside it quite overblown in a lot of ways one of the things that weve seen in Chinese Students they dont tend to be you know flag waving communist who are going out to seek information to do United States they tend to hold us in high regard they want to go and learn to have a positive regard. At the same time you know the fact of the matter is at this point chinese universities have taking major leaps to forward whereas you know the american universities the Chinese Students and a lot of these students once they graduate have gone on to work in american tech and Science Industries all in all i think that if this policy were to be put in place. You know it would be unfairly castigating Chinese Students but it also be harming us universities and even Us Technology and scientific development. A number of us veteran and antiwar associations have written an open letter to congress urging them not to give additional funding to the pentagon and after the Defense Department was included in the latest phase of the white house stimulus package. The crew has made it Crystal Clear that federal spending is dangerously misaligned with our National Priorities and the actual threats to Human Security the United States has chronically underfunded human and Environmental Needs while particularly in recent years passing historically high pentagon budgets that forced the militarism in the war in the waste and so corruption all of our points out that the pentagon could find the money to fight coronavirus from its existing enormous budget unlike underfunded Health Organizations which are struggling to provide americans with the support they need the country is at the epicenter of the pandemic with more than a 1000000 victims and 56000 deaths the Defense Departments budget has now reached 7 156000000000. 00 including 10000000000. 00 from the new stimulus combined war and security cost 60. 00 trillion dollars but the u. S. Spending almost 40 percent of the planets entire military budget experts person and veterans for peace one of the groups that signed the letter says its a question of saving lives. Basically the crux of our argument is that we need to we need to prioritize our right now the combined budgets of the you know each the c. B. C. And w. H. O. Roughly equals about a 7 known pentagon budget and that if these institutions would have been properly funded we could basically argue that there would we would have been better prepared the challenge of the coconut but Defense Industry contributes a sizeable portion of funding for candidates of both Political Parties senators and representatives have within citrus trees that reside within their electoral jurisdictions and really what its about here is raising money for the party and getting reelected in doing so you have to keep your donors constituents. But i think its also imperative that we say the United States maintain our global hegemony by maintaining our forces in our ally thing ations and namely in the e. U. And to discourage the emergence of a multipolar world i believe it would serve the publics best interest if we would realize the futility of trying to making our global hedge of mine instead focus our resources into infrastructure on the Development Social programs and to work with nations around the world in a collaborative manner to focus on. The past has come back to haunt us president ial candidate joe biden with a tape of a phone conversation from 1993 landed him in the middle of a sex scandal and newly surfaced footage the mother of terror rebutting former Senate Staffer who accuses biden of Sexual Assault appears on larry king live asking for advice at the time of the assault reid has confirmed the voice to be that of her mother who died some years ago. Im wondering what on. Earth after would. Go to the press in washington my daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problem. R. T. Host rick sanchez discussed the sensitivity of such situations with larry king himself. Explain to our viewers because i think a lot of people want to understand this the responsibility that you have as a broadcaster in a situation like this to take a call from someone who you literally dont really know who they are how do you deal with correct. Ive been doing would have you know this friday we 63 years ive been doing this when when someone calls in and theyre all anonymous we know calling in and says Something Like that and you give them the respect of the call we were respectful but one she said my daughter doesnt want to name the person where else you go with the you know some if youre if you hate the person kind of try to run with it if youd learn but if you dont know the name of the person where do you go or Something Like that and im not going to browbeat someone into naming a daughter she doesnt want to name a daughter or spoke to her daughter the question would be why she call in im sure her mother was sincere and im sure the daughter was sincere why didnt they want to come forward the only problem is when youre doing a show like that you know whos going to call in you know if she had said it to someone else and they had checked it out and confirmed it i would have made the whole rest of the show about it but of all unfortunately you cant do that however is so funny when Something Like 27 years ago suddenly the womans test of the way and fox news this is number one on their page right right. Thats our world news robert for this hour but dont forget you can always find up to the minute reports on our facebook and twitter pages all of us here at r. T. Hope you and yours are well. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy to for him to let it be an arms race is often experience Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Shows seem wrong. Why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape out just to become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safer. Salacious or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maid in the shallows. Who do most of their sword in the group before. Or who are bird. Shit out. To get it. Youre definitely walking into a word dont you know we no longer know what were walking until. March. What she needs to break she met up with that. He knows. Who she is possible sensible some. One else chose seemed wrong but all in all just dont call. Me lol but yet to shape out this day comes to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. This is the one business show you cant afford to miss branch of boring washington coming up i continue to call in for the will to come to give the audience only diabetes and National Unity to come from this pond and week as the pandemic continues to take a toll on Global Health and well the w. H. O. Is calling for unity taken
