Prissy is european politicians raul over the infection tracking apps under development right now with fears that personal data is it risk of being leaked. By the ever good afternoon chill live from arts internationals World News Center here in moscow its kevin o. Into likely to be if next 30 minutes for the latest round of stick with me to begin with our final for now a quick daily roundup of the latest global coronavirus figures as they stand this hour total infections now stands at more than 4800000. 00 fatalities have talked 316000 of the number of those whove recovered sounds at more than 1800000. 00 around the world. In other developments today then britains Opposition Labor Party is demanding an investigation into coronavirus deaths an elderly care homes which he describes as being mishandled about a quarter of the countrys covert fatalities have happened in residential facilities labors deputy leader says people have been tragically that. Should be there should be some investigation into that and kissed on earth requested that because everything is tragic and weve had medical experts on through with that we see that the virus into our care homes and the guidance wasnt there for care workers i think theyve been tragically let down on friday it was revealed the number of care home residents in britain who died from the corona virus was actually 50 percent higher than previously estimated the new data emerged after the Prime Minister was called out over what the labor leader described as unexplained deaths the new research has revealed have been more than 12000 covert related deaths in elderly residential facilities since the beginning of march we talked to Michelle Rowland who lost her mother mums got a temperature and a call and then they sort of advised me that shed had a cough the day before as. I said well these are very symptomatic of that the coronavirus 09 chain or whatever. Has she been tested. Now were not testing out at. The preceding days basically on the friday night i get a call. Weve got the test back shes been tested for cape it 19 and its. Really horrible because she cant going see it you cannot hold their hands you cannot look at them you cant you know its. Anything. I have to really pretty much crack my rights get my mum because. That was the last time. And we talked the day we were looking for a cheat when the weather is going to get warmer and were going to get you in a chair. And she sold a keeper or 21 day morning. Frankel from can say llama cows to. The one still all i could. Cause is not only a problem in the u. K. In the United States around a 3rd of all corona virus deaths are among residents or even staff in the country 7700. 00 care facilities american journalist and regular r. T. Contributor Dave Lindorff told us about the loss of his mother in law took over 19 at a care home in new jersey. My mother in law had dementia so you know she needed to be in care like that unfortunately when the infection started to spread around the Nursing Homes all over the country including where my mother in law west ended up with 100 and the last time i looked at 114 patients infected out of 150 patients. That the jays clee everybody there and. They didnt have masks were adequate masks were the nurses were for the patients so there was really no way to keep it from spreading the infections really should never have happened and thats i think a really hard thing to live with. That the reason may happen you knew was because the Nursing Homes didnt have the adequate tests to be able to isolate people who had it from people who did the Nursing Homes were getting 2nd priority for distribution of the available tests and the masks so they went 1st to hospitals and i see use because they had so few 70 percent of the nursing home started run as for profit part theyre owned by pure profit corporations and so theyre squeezing. The staffing in order to keep the profits up and the costs down and thats another reason why this is so bad. And the be more on the care home ascribes says later in this program in spain the new numbers show the grim extent of the problem with the majority of coronavirus related deaths happening in residential facilities. Several European Countries are gradually lifting their restrictions on lockdown says the pink some a tourist season draws close but theres still big concern over potential 2nd wave of infections with the World Health Organization top official in europe saying it may be inevitable this coming winter. We know from history that in pandemics the countries that have not been hit early on can begin in the 2nd week people think lockdown is finished nothing has changed the full Disease Control package has to be in place to avoid opening the floodgates to more infections than france is now appealing for unity across the e. U. On reopening borders as our europe correspondent peter all of a explains next. Well since friday restaurants here in berlin have been able to reopen their doors albeit with social distancing in place waiting staff have to wear masks just working in the kitchen chefs cooks and other kitchen staff they dont those guests are advised that if they can wear a mask they should but obviously you cant wear a mask when your eating pubs she should bars in the like remain closed here in berlin though what weve also seen change over the weekend in germany is when it comes to borders all restrictions for travel from germany to luxembourg have now been lifted weve also seen an easing of some of the restrictions that were in place for travel to switzerland austria and france from saturday you know allowed to make business trips and also travel for family visits as well across that border the interior minister horse and the office said that he hopes to see all restrictions disappear by the middle of next month and that date of june 15th has been set up as a potential date to see travel to germany from countries like the United States and russia allowed again also coming back over the weekend was the ball does league get football has finally returned albeit with no funds in the stadium and coaches and stuff having to observe social distancing certainly good to see even if union berland went down to nil a time to buy in munich football fans happy though bought not everybody so elated with the progress thats being made in opening up cunt. Freeze and the lifting of corona restrictions we saw another weekend of demonstrations against those measures here in germany and elsewhere across europe with tempers flaring. Up. Another nation thats making moves to lift corona restrictions is italy theres going to be an easing of restrictions in place there coming from monday but just said he cant say the italian Prime Minister has been highlighting what is a well a big problem for all politicians making these decisions at the moment that if you open up the country without a vaccine well youre putting people at risk whatever you do. Were confronting this risk and we need to accept it otherwise we would never be able to relaunch and we cannot afford to wait for the moment of the discovery and the distribution of the vaccine we would find ourselves without social and productive fabric heavily damaged so weve seen some nations making decisions by themselves as to open up their borders to other Member States in the European Union france and the french government the saying though they want to see a more unified approach they want to see everybody essentially singing from the same song sheet when it comes to opening borders across europe was good to do this also and it is essential for us to coordinate decisions its a european level especially with the area but that is not the case today and the unilateral decisions by spain and italy do not make it easy for us to work in solidarity well as we enter another week expects tourism to dominate the agenda again here in europe. The German Foreign minister is expected later on monday to hold talks with representatives from spain its in the greek austria other nations as well to discuss the possibility of German Tourists heading to those destinations its all up in the air at the moment and tourism such an important industry youve got to remember for a number of european nations should there be no tourists from say countries like germany arriving at those destinations could have huge potentially catastrophic knock on effect for the economies in those countries keeping an eye on that of course here on r. T. You know its all about take the day by day at the moment well back to whats happening now for many of us is likely to be a long time before life is anything like normal certainly until vaccines in circulation if there ever is one sounds good taylor looks at how were all going to have to adapt and are adapting to a new world of social distancing. Well 20 twentieths been a shocker and its only may at the beginning quarantine didnt seem so hot we thought a few weeks will sit who weeks of books catch up and thats thanks to a sprinkling suction i. E. The 2 pretty quickly weve run out of things to do on the net i was briefly had to take my balcony deejaying and soon parties. But then the globe or it was so i moved on i even tried Online Dating not like usual thing but desperate times but it was fun for a while especially when my popularity skyrocketed off the event prospect for those quarantined catfish but lets be honest screen life just doesnt compare to street life so when i had the countries like easing out of lockdown i almost choked on my disinfectant i know i had my 1st place quite an outfit but reality check its not going to be like the full kiss is a thing of the past hugs forget it you know how chicks are under review also normal cheeky smiling about passing on street not through that mask on the plus side you had just a way to be able to see or feel small when you tell them you love the bangs you know crossed for also develop patience because queuing is here to stay. And when your favorite restaurant reopens the path to some wine it changes. Will be a good workout. Its actually really nice super goes in i think it will be also very romantic of couples are going to be here and you might have to go to extremes to make sure people you know keep that distance unless youre still more ready to make them dont worry you wont be lonely. Unless you really do want to be left alone men which case when our 1st guest david arrives today hes going to be well by his side and theres going to be a role for him to fall. Through to go to school. Also you dont expect quite the same level of services before. Its like you. Now i know lots of people are still hoping for that summit beach holiday while it might happen once a few adjustments of course and after the beach you can still poppin says it all fairy friends just dont forget that take matter. And for all you raise out i promise so she distance parties can still be a real. Was. So yes its a new normal but with a little imagination maybe a way to be hot and the fashion game has changed this is Spring Summer collection has got a distinct our medical twist to it so must stop. Every time for a moscow more developments to brief you on the worlds tech giants engage in a race to develop ups than which would help track the spread of the virus but its got european politicians are going over the best method with the core concern being the risk of peoples personal data being leaked charlotta bensky reports on it. As part of the on going efforts to keep a lid on the corona virus pandemic many countries have embrace technology now you may have heard about the new virus tracing app that tests tracks and traces the idea is that you download the app and if you develop symptoms of covert 19 or test positive you let the app know and then it will pass on the information to anyone else who also has the same app sounds 2 like a good idea no but for many the alarm bells are sounding. This system windows is an idea that is deadly for democracy so lets be clear not only is my surveillance not a solution it also constitutes a proven danger to our fundamental freedoms as countries are rushing to develop these apps the Big Tech Companies like google and apple already mapping out the road ahead theyre laying out the conditions for building the tools which you countries are due to rollout from next month while huge faith is being placed in Contact Tracing apps there is little solid evidence that they will be effective some are calling on governments to find some real alternatives. Governments reason sure at last grizel not to help. Them exchange thats. Not data collection. Theres also the question to be honest about how much control these Big Tech Companies will have all they forcing the governments hands given that they already control the Smartphone Market and will get different Digital Tools from competing Companies Even be able to interact with each other the interoperability of a major blind spot from a technical perspective. One another in germany plans had been afoot to develop an app of course. Several countries with data being centrally stewart it later backed down and is now pursuing proposals promoted by google and apple and. Essential i solutions decided upon last weekend a solution this ensures data is only stored on the device and not in a Central Location we convince the people trusted. That d. Centralized approach has also been taken by ireland italy and others to while here in france the government has decided to shun big tech and work on its own though any app that it develops may not even fully function with apple new google phones which is potentially rather problematic and theres concern about the privacy elements while the virus tracing apps are expected to keep sensitive and private data safe as we have seen time and time again not snot always possible that may be one of the reasons why the e. U. Commissioner for justice gave this warning the apps should be only used during the crisis and the day. When the pandemic is sort of but the decisions governments take now at a time when there is unprecedented Political Economic and Public Health pressure all the ones that will resonate for years perhaps even decades to come we wont know if iris tracing apps are useful unless significant chunks of the population download and use them but by then it may already be too late mass surveillance may become normalized all in the name of staying healthy. R. T. Paris. Here are frankly russian Prime Minister says some regions in russia are ready to gradually relax their currency. Join me every 1st week on the alex simon shore and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. It. Seems wrong all right well lets just all. Get to shape out just to become educated and in the game training equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Again here russia registered less than 1000. 00 new daily covert cases on monday the 1st time its been done to that level since may the 1st is a senior correspondent. There is a break in the line of sort of trees in these difficult times and that is because for the 1st time in 2 weeks the number of new cases every day drop below 9000 and you know its only by about 3000 but nevertheless this is a milestone because russian authorities optimistic they say that we hold and now the number of cases is going to drop so they said that was living being increased in the number of daily basis that is over for the foreseeable future to sustain your Current Situation with the spread of the coronavirus and this country is still not easy but we can admit that the rise of the infection rate has been stopped due to the very careful estimates of the dynamic is positive as for today daily monitoring says that your 27 regions a read is to gradually ease restrictions if you will certain restrictions it will begin to be needs good this is again it will happen very gradually and this is obviously been a very difficult time to put everyone because of you know how when you went out unforeseen all of this more is how im pretty head every government in the world was to deal with this crisis this is human error as well social apps played a huge role in containing the virus in all the current and self isolation measures of for example if you had been diagnosed positive if you tested positive for the crew on a virus you were. Made to download an app do you want to own the School Social monitoring and you sometimes out there had to send a selfie to to prove that youre a hoe and the subject would be checked by authorities by by people in various agencies just just to make sure that nobody is violating quarantine that the problem was they had put a lot of thought into it in. In the initial days there you know you get a request for itself in the wee hours of the morning and obviously people step through it and be slapped with a 51 of those fines work. But nevertheless you know there was enough to fix there was a lot of technological glitches in the end human error and things that hadnt been quite thought through you have to strictly follow the instructions and the documents you sign when you begin Home Treatment or 14 days quarantine the instructions are clear that you have 24 hours to install the app moreover we additionally santa semes reminders and calling on people to read the documents attentively when signing them now where we were in the phase where theres a lot of attention on medics on all leave done you know the sacrifice that theyve made their service and they had been some some confusion about this is the medics across russia being paid for what theyve done for you know working with a group of virus patients exposing themselves to the virus. And then additional 7000000000. 00 rubles of allocated as bonuses to medics. But the plight of nursing home suffering with grim mortality rates space leading newspaper has now revealed the extent of the problem there of 28000 total deaths nationwide more than 17 and a half 1000 have been in care homes while nurses told us about the heartbreaking final days for residents. Passing on this last and probably getting ready when they were dying and we couldnt say goodbye they were all alone we have been taking care of them for something 8 even 10 years and we rented to their rooms at least twice during the shift sometimes we came in and they were already down they couldnt get medical treatment and the hospital many died because they received it never knowing whether they had a coronavirus or not. The Scottish Government see it to comment on those figures but officials of opened 140. 00 criminal probes against Nursing Homes after several bodies were found still in their beds sprayed has 5400. 00 and the pandemic is seen stuff in several state rubber cities without a lack of p. P. And claim centers are severely understaffed is the best. With nothing else but thanks to donations from individuals who gave us f. P. 2 masks we were able to solve the problem with masks we had no gowns no shield masks nothing we had to be gallons of shoes from ways bags and then we started getting gowns that were waterproof so in helpless much we were wary raised by. Thoughts of those people on the front line of all during these times weve got you covered course of the headlines around the clock online and social media and other t. V. Side of it from here at h.
