Comes under severe strain. These cops who. Just come and physically and verbally abuse me for my race. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here. In moscow thanks for joining us this hour. Now 1st lets start with the latest figures on the coronavirus the number of confirmed cases has now toppled 230000 worldwide but the death toll at more than 9000 and another development the World Health Organization says it has started testing a new vaccine. The death toll in italy has now surpassed that of china topping more than 3400 the country has also recorded its highest number of infections detected in a single day for the most 4 and a half 1000 new cases the Prime Minister says the nationwide lockdown may need to be extended beyond able the 3rd while the army is also now been called into the northern town of berger mo to help move the backlog of coffins video posted on social media shows trucks preparing to transport bodies the military moved in after the City Cemetery became overwhelmed by the sheer number of dead which is located in the worst affected region of lombardy has seen at least 93. 00 deaths and 4300. 00 cases officials though fear the worst is yet to come. It is a heartbreaking image striking with the force of a 100 or even a 1000 punches medical staff on the front line in italy have been highly infected themselves at least 2629 have tested positive for the virus since february that represents 8 percent of all cases in the country is not only workers under pressure though but the whole Health Care System theres an increasing lack of staff and equipment are naaman off lifesaving ventilators or face masks while some across retired staff are being asked to return to work and they bid to turn the tide against the crisis one of the countrys leading Public Health experts claims the governments brought some of these problems on itself. The problem right now is the supply of protective gear the government should have thought of this some time ago we already have a limited number of doctors nurses and direct streams circumstances we could even ask them to help working even if they tested positive for corona virus they should be equipped with protective devices to avoid spreading the virus fun though. The situation is really dramatic and there are 8 percent of workers who are able to center over all cases are workers who are infected and there is nothing we can do because we have a shortage of medical personnel and it be our help healthy in the sense that they can are capable of who are working and they dont show symptoms that incapacitate them in some way and and. Thats the only option otherwise the toll will continue to rise we dont know how many people are infected because we are only testing people who show symptoms and actually severe symptoms it should definitely be more of a task the problem is that they do not have the resources to do so so theyre desperate for help from the European Union and from European Partners the only way you can really fight a disease is by testing as many people as possible on. Russia has registered almost 150 coronavirus cases most are in moscow authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to prevent the mass spread of the virus seen elsewhere among the action taken by moscow is restricted entry for foreign nationals people who enter the country prone broad must go into quarantine for 2 weeks schools will be temporarily closed from march 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are banned as the outbreak began in moscow dedicated to a brand new hospital just to treat coronavirus patients city authorities are planning a hospital town just outside the capital and will have its own sewer and Water Filtration systems and its own small part of the countryside in an exclusion zone. Meanwhile the Moscow Mayors Office has warned about misinformation spreading online about the pen demick and the measures to contain it this includes post claiming the russian capital will go into total lockdown with shortages of essential products in the shops some chains say they have enough supplies to last at least weeks this includes the most popular items that are currently being courted by many the Russian Ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public that Grocery Stores will not close checked out the situation at a large moscow store. Panic buying has become one of the key manifestations of the coronavirus scare all over the world so now weve come to one of most schools Largest Retail Stores parts of europe the shan chain just to get an idea as to how badly this thing is affecting the russians in fact were in the very same store that had previously introduced socalled apocalypse shopping carts preselected bundles of essential goods for about 45. 00 per cart it was a one time action but it turned out to be a clear success because those cards have been already swept and theyre nowhere to be found but now lets have a look as to how well this particular and a very large store is stocked itself. First stop is well good old soap and the situation here is quite interesting because all cheaper ones they are gone like for instance here like 15 cents 30 cents buy the im not making up the prices these are actual prices on the soap here theyre gone but the more expensive stuff over here in abundance in fact let me show you one thing you can literally if you are if you are in a panic situation if you are in a panic mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is liquid soap 5 liters of liquid soap but were going to be opting for Something Different something. So. Particularly sensitive subject lately toilet paper while. Any type of budget any type of skin theres clearly enough for everyone and i feel like a plenty at home but for the sake of the experiment lets get some why not. Well this is trouble all right because were in the poultry section and the well its been ransacked there are people all around filming on their phones as well together with us whats going on here but the store has put up some reassuring messages reassuring signs saying essentially that the products the products are on the way dont worry if you havent found what you wanted here it will be here we will restock it in the nearest future together with the supplies were doing everything to maintain the needed stockpile. Cheaper me like chicken or turkey more expensive mead like before you pour while its gone just some of the most expensive stuff is here but here nothing. Well judging by the amount of sweets next to me one thing can be said with certainty children are definitely not panicking and can be an example to us all. Well this is of course just a symbolic cut its not really serious but if i were to go all in and defy wanted to get everything that i needed for a Nuclear Winter scenario so to speak i would have had very very few problems with doing so and even with that said supply is have been talking a lot and posting photos and videos of their storage is really filled up to the brim with produce saying that there is literally no reason to panic about whatever whatever m. T. V. Show that weve just seen well they will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now it looks good the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. With the whole world battling not only the pend make but a wave of december mation around the virus as well it seems the e. U. Knows whos to blame and once again its the kremlin something dismissed outright by moscow we notice that it was because. Of this information from outside of the e. U. Among others also from russia or from providers reach are based in russia or at least somehow to draw crimean sources you know theres well accusations against russia over disinformation and takes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves lets take a look at the presumption of innocence is there are you need evidence proof now evidence there can be any claims morrow where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational comparing a new era report claims russia is sowing pelikan anger in the west over the coronavirus it also states the aim is to undermine Public Trust NationalHealth Care Systems trying to prevent an Effective Response to the outbreak professor at the National Institute of languages and eastern civilizations in paris been addressed believes its wrong to blame russia over baseless claims. It looks very. Funny in a certain sense because their. Western media is a western governments their friends government especially because im basing friends are so ridiculous in their in their their way day and day treated all the corona beer is. To be demure from the very beginning so they take it day in day make the fake news and know their i. Q. Using russia and jaw. Is it is not do only country with. Which ask questions about the origin of the epidemic and do behavior of different governments its just ridiculous to. Treat russia as derisive ponsonby fault of teams. We are witnessing all over the world now over to the us where donald trump has announced hes invoking wartime powers to force industry there to tackle covert night. Will be invoked in the defense production act and just in case we need it. No words if you will know what it is and it can do a lot of good things if we need it must sacrifice together because we are all in this together and will come through together meanwhile connecticut has become the 6th state to postpone 2 its primaries amid the outbreak however the Democratic National committee has issued a warning that hasty changes to the process may result in penalty is often explains. All of society hunkers down in the face of a Global Health pandemic the democrats have decided to point fingers and play the blame game this crisis is going to demand more from all of us more from an administration and a president that has been far too slow in waking up to the scale of the challenges we now face i have been incredibly frustrated and concerned by the trumpet administrations missteps and slow response to this crisis so far the trumpet ministration has made a serious of false promises about the countrys diagnostic capacities spreading confusing in onto information about the availability of tests for the general public and so to hear the leader of the federal government tell us to work around the federal government because its too too slow is just its kind of mind boggling to be honest now there is no question that donald trump is taking this very seriously as a Public Health crisis were asking everyone to work at home a possible postpone a necessary travel and limit social gatherings to no more than 10 people by making shared sacrifices and temporary changes we can protect the health of our people now the d. N. C. Is very happy to call out donald trump but their own Political Goals are not on hold 5 states have canceled their president ial primary votes and now the d. N. C. Says that there could be consequences each the 1st determining step must take place by the 9th of june if a state violates the rule on timing or any other rule that could be subject to penalties including at least a 50 percent reduction in delegates we advise states to follow the recommendations of local Health Officials and Prioritize Health and safety of all individuals thats right the democratic leadership is now demanding that Senior Citizens and everyone else drop everything rushed to the polls and vote in the democrats primary risking death in some cases now if you dont do it they say they will make you pay no small. Sense of entitlement there in states that have had their primary vote the turnout has been rather low big shocker at this point all public gatherings movie theaters restaurants are shut down so why not the polls exactly it makes sense to close this down i mean theres just the you know any of these Voting Centers that would just simply be a centers for transmitting disease and its the responsible thing is then to say look we can postpone this if basically they can postpone it will the way up to late may have all the put all the remaining primaries on and some day in late may and thats it its certainly a much more sensible policy than the holding primaries now when everybodys so anxious about the virus i think they are thinking entirely in terms of the general election i mean the democrats have absolutely desperate to defeat donald trump they want to wrap this up as quickly as possible before the public has a chance to change its mind the rules across america are changing in the face of the coded 1000 Health Crisis but one thing certainly remains the same the only set of rules the Democratic National committee plays by are their own and they demand that everyone else play by them as well kaleb up and r. T. New york. That as well has been denied a multibillion dollar aid package by the International Monetary fund as the country struggles to cope with the fallout from the coronavirus m. F. Said it had turned down the request from caracas due to a lack of clarity of the countrys current leadership. Unfortunately the fund is not in a position to consider this request by measuring gauge went with member countries is predicated on official government recognition by the International Community as reflected in the r. M. S. Membership there is new clarity a recognition that this time last year the i. M. F. Suspended its ties with venezuela due to the political crisis that seen Nicolas Maduro an Opposition Leader won by doe both lay claim to the presidency but as well last requested financial help from the bloc back in 2001 the Worlds Largest public lender of funds is run by 186 member countries but the us having unique veto power over major policy decisions there are currently 36. 00 confirmed cases of coronavirus in venezuela prompting them and their administration to place parts of the country on lockdown including the capital but as well based journalist paul dobson believes the i. M. F. Decision is sending a clear message. Well this came as a great shock here in venice weyler no one really expected the mayor of government so many years of. Course to apply for funds from. The rejection by the i. M. F. Was least with less surprising this really sends a very clear message at least to the venezuelan people about the i. M. F. And the parts of the International Community would they represent are not interested in alleviating the Current Situation in venezuela are not interested in helping the health care the very delicate Health Care Situation we have here in the country in the face of a pandemic and really more interested about the political games and actually trying to save lives here. In the u. K. The spread of the virus has picked up pace with more than 2500 people now infected and the pandemic also appears to be having a negative impact on peoples behavior a british nurse claims she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work are to shoddy edwards reports. It may come as no surprise that the n. H. S. Isnt exactly thriving what with being on the forefront of the fight against coronavirus Staff Shortages not enough funding and even a lack of clothing for medical staff professionals make it harder to help save lives but those were predictable evils was less than anticipated is then a phobia towards people who are treating patients but it happened to the n. H. S. Nurse who was allegedly racially abusing itself at just experience something that really opened my mind with Todays Society so i was coming up from the train station just minding my own business usually get out through the barriers and to come to work as a nurse. And these couple who. Just come and physically and verbally abuse me from my race and it gets worse she was attacked on her way to a hospital for overtime shift to help her colleagues cope with the outbreak every really to come together you know any chance is struggling my goodness we have to start no doctors no nothing people who need to wake up and realise that this virus is not an excuse to be racist or to discriminate against everyone period the sad reality is as the fire sort of originates in china and spreads across the globe so does panic and xenophobia for instance the singapore and student was assaulted and loved by teenagers who punched him in the face screaming we dont want your coronavirus in our country he shouted i dont want your crown of ours in my country we think this is at. A vietnamese art curator of us dropped quite exhibitor earlier this month the u. K. Arts are because of fears that she would spread the virus the corona virus is causing much anxiety everywhere unfairly or not asians are being seen as carriers of the virus your presence on the stand would unfortunately create hesitation on the part of the audience to enter the exhibition space i apologize for this and hope we can meet and perhaps Work Together in the future these. Case in the u. K. Are just the tip of the iceberg across the pond in new york and none of these an asian person on the lecture just standing next to her and want. To leave. Germany and its not only open aggressions our people are now turning up their noses to asian cuisine and culture and asian people in general are being avoided and wiki pedia page has even been set up dedicated to covert 19 incidents of racism with governments and International Organizations now mate and to bring countries a cautioned against actions that promote stickler or even discrimination in iraq the principles of our
