Health Service Comes under severe strain. Capullo. Which is common physically and verbally abuse me all my race. For good morning welcome to the program my name is kevin owen here at the Arts International worldview center with the latest 30 minute update this 20th of march and were starting with the grim latest to to stakes on the coronavirus pandemic there are now more than 240000 confirmed cases worldwide and the death toll is approaching 10000. As it stands today italy is now the country worst hit by the covert 1000 pandemic fatalities that have surged beyond 3400 thats great to the loss of life in china Prime Minister has epic contest says the nationwide lockdown could now need to be extended after a couple of. In the Northern City of bergen mode the army has been called in to help move coffins of the victims out of the area this video posted on social media shows military trucks arriving the city cemeteries have become overwhelmed by the sheer number of dead was in the lumber the province where almost 2000 people died from the virus officials though fear the worst is yet to come. It is a heartbreaking image striking with the force of 100 or even the fowls and punches medical staff on the front line in italy of 2 falling sick themselves in large numbers to more than 2600 of contract to the virus since february that represents around 8 percent of all cases in the country entire Health Care Systems creaking under the strain theres a severe shortage of staff hospital beds and equipment lifesaving ventilators and face masks are in short supply and some retired stuff are being asked to return to work one of the countrys leading Public Health experts claim the governments response has been too slow 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 under extreme circumstances we could even ask them to help working even if they tested positive for corona virus still they should be equipped with protective devices to avoid spreading the virus further. The situation is really dramatic and there are 8 percent of workers who are able to center over all cases are workers who are and fact and there is nothing we can do because we have a shortage of medical personnel and it be our help healthy in the sense of bacon are capable of who are can and they dont show symptoms that incapacitated them in some way and thats the only option otherwise the death 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 should definitely be efficiently more tasks the problem is that they do not have the resources to do so so theyre desperately asking for help from the European Union and from European Partners only way to really fight the disease is by testing as many people as possible. Russia has registered almost 150 cases now of the Novel Coronavirus most here in moscow the thirtys are gradually implementing strict measures to prevent a large scale outbreak russias closed its borders to foreign nationals with some exceptions and those who arrive from most countries must go into quarantine for 2 weeks schools will be temporarily closed from this coming march the 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people have been banned Construction Works on the way to a new hospital complex outside moscow to treat coronavirus patients its set in a remote rural area will be surrounded by 250 meter exclusion zone is due to be completed by april 15th. Meantime the Mayors Office has warned about misinformation spreading online about the pandemic and the measures to contain it that includes posts claiming that the russian capital will go into total lockdown maybe with shortages of essential products and shops too well to counter that store chains have offered reassurances saying they have got plenty of reserves right now and theres no need for panic buying and the Rush Ministry of Industry Trade has promised the public the grocery shops will not close it was done after checked out the situation that one large moscows supermarket. 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 chan 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 carts 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 world this particular end a very large store is stocked itself. 1st 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 by 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 releases 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 a reassuring messages reassuring sign 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 me like before the poor 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. Shows that weve just seen well they will be filled up there will be back fully stops so right now it looks that the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. Well good if im at least with the whole world battling not only the pandemic but away the dissin from asian around the virus as well it seems the e. U. Knows who to blame once again it appears to be the kremlin something dismissed outright by moscow. We know all these that it was because of the amount of this information fed from outside of the e. U. Among others also from russia or from providers which are based in russia or a link somehow to. Sources you know you guys theres no ads well accusations against russia over disinformation and quakes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world disinformation and fake themselves lets take a look at the presumption of innocence i mean there are accusing missions you know average now and then there can be an uprising that the trial where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive Informational Campaign isnt a new era port claims russias sewing pelican anger in the west over the coronavirus it also states the aims to undermine public trust in the national Health Care Systems try to prevent an Effective Response to the break the story of brute rescue spoke to us he believes the allegations against russia are absurd it looks very. Funny in a certain sense because. Western media is a western governments their french government especially this one because im basing friends are so ridiculous in their in their own way they take. The risk when it be demure from the very beginning so they take days when they may think you know there are accusing russia and georgia. Is it is not do only country with. Which i ask questions about the origin of the epidemic and do behavior of different governments its just ridiculous to. Treat of russia as derisive. Of. Dr who we are witnessing all over the world. In the Us Donald Trump resorted to rarely use wartime powers to force industry to tackle covert 90. It will be invoked in the defense production act and just in case we need it the words if you will know what it is in 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 or meantime connecticut has become the 6 state to postpone the democratic primaries because the break the Democratic National committees issued a warning to that hasty changes to the process may result in penalties and quote kellam open reports on mars. 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 on true 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 and this is a travel and limits social gatherings to no more than 10 people by making shared sacrifices and temporary changes we can protect the health of our people at 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 the 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 thats just they 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 basically they can postpone it will all 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 holding primaries now when everybodys so anxious about the virus i think that 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 be full of 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 mopp and r. T. New york and the course the democratic primaries in the u. S. Now officially a 2 horse race composed for the morning here in moscow coming up to a 16 post 4 but were going to talk about the sit ins with the. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport im showbusiness ill see you then. Again good morning stArts International so as we mentioned before the break the democratic primary race is now down to just 2 candidates Bernie Sanders and joe biden months after the hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard dropped out and threw his support behind the former Vice President whos emerged now as the clear front runner. Now after tuesdays election its clear that democratic primary voters have chosen Vice President joe biden to be the person who will take on President Trump in the general election so today i am suspending my president ial campaign and offering my full support to Vice President joe biden in his quest to bring our country together and although i may not agree with the Vice President on every issue i know that he has a good heart and hes motivated by his love for our country and the American People what seemed like the sentiment to shortly after the announcement joe biden famed for her support the congresswoman was thrust into the spotlight last year you may recall when Hillary Clinton accused her of being a russian asset rejected the allegations and indeed sued the former secretary of state the 38 year old politician into the race for the democratic ticket in february last year and was the last woman standing we heard from professor of latin american studies done he sure he told us the primaries have been way down the climate of fear. If you will have to work the most are clearly affected in are afraid to go out in it well if they have children you know that ill be d there during the a free so clearly be inside iraq primary is in crisis in a sense tell see garrard a woman of color who represents a columnist people who why i think a lot of people high hopes that she would support Bernie Sanders who is of course the most Critical Incident perry was candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in commend Joe Biden Miller is clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of us Foreign Policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal health care for us Foreign Policy it is diametrically opposed to what trump and biting him but im in the ruling class represent so this move is going to continue to fight notches in the electoral arena arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the u. S. In the u. K. The spread of the corona virus has accelerated with more than 2500 people now infected and the pandemic appears to be having a negative effect too on some peoples behavior one british nurse spoke to us claimed she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work r. T. Sharjah edwards does the report. 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 that a phobia towards people who are treating patients but it happened to the n. H. S. Nurse who was allegedly racially abused in itself just to experience something that really opened my mind with Todays Society so i was coming out 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 cops who. Just come and physically and verbally abuse me my race and it gets worse she was attacked on her way to a hospital for an overtime shift to help her colleagues cope with the outbreak every really to come together you have any chance is struggling my goodness we have to start no doctors no nothing people who need to wake up and realize that this virus is not an excuse to be racist or to discriminate against everyone period the sad reality is as a virus sort of originates in china and spreads across the globe so does panic and xenophobia for instance a singapore in student was assaulted in london by teenagers who punched him in the face screaming we dont want your coronavirus in our country he shouted i dont want your coronavirus in my country you think this is et well no a vietnamese are 3 of us drop quite exhibitor earlier this month the u. K. Are there because of fears that she would spread the virus t
