Other thanks for joining us here with your global news update this is r. T. International. Star the latest figures in the covert 900. 00 pandemic more than 788000 cases have now been confirmed globally thats an increase of almost 10 percent in 24 hours more than 37000. 00 people have lost their lives 166000 have recovered. The Global Movement is gathering pace calling landlords to stop charging rent for housing during the Ongoing Health crisis and one multibillion euro firm has latched onto the idea added us is refusing to pay rent on its stores in germany because of the current lockdown and politicians are furious peta oliver explains. A stay at home to save lives is being the all encompassing mantra of this pandemic but for those that cant work from home well it has meant losing their jobs for some than having to rely on state benefits for one of the Worlds Largest sports money factures its made them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores theyve been forced to close off what adi da says done and its drawing fire from the German Government its indecent and then acceptable if financially strong firms now just stop paying their rents the brand pay for their 3. 00 strike design made over 3000000000. 00 in profits last year and theyre being accused of trying to save a quick buck in times of crisis with so many european leaders saying theyre not going to buy the dust product ever again bodied us responded by saying they werent the only ones but that appropriate arrangements had been made and that smaller landlords would get their money theyre not the only ones to be sure clothing giant h. And m. As well as german giant stores like soft or medium are have also announced that they would be either suspending all delaying the pagan reds in the future. By the way these are the last pair wajda to swivel by such a shame that a Global Corporation with 3200000000 in profits in 2019 is exploiting an old protecting tenants existence. But what about the private renter and landlord slightly more than half of the people in germany on the whole last week the German Government promised well over 800000000000 euro in emergency funds to tackle the financial fallout from corona virus one of the big pieces of legislation is that all the victims will be suspended from april until september of this year with the option of actually extended now until july of 2021 something which is pleased the unions politicians must send a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlords is well a little off in the air renters must pay if they can but what happens when or if they cant thats one charted territory one would presume that it falls to loans of some kind from the hundreds of billions that have been put forward by anglo merkels government but just how one goes about getting all of these loans how much will be made available nobody really knows just yet what were seeing is that as governments are trying to stop the actual spread of the coronavirus theyre also trying to insulate business and Financial Systems from infection of their own kind peter all of our party. Well many governments around the world are now faced with a tradeoff between saving their economies and stopping the virus and that is my guess d. F. Now reports finding a good outcome thats almost impossible. Whatever they do there is theres going to be people who when the dust settles who come out and say what if we had done things differently and the only oncet for that will be that there was no good choice the answer by some to is to quarantine and some tools to keep society of business who put these schools cool math we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem i dont want to see it id like to avoid it but i wouldnt be surprised if we saw 100000 deaths let me explain the 2 different approaches the countries are taking the 1st one the lockdown these clues will business to introduce quarantine shut everything down and limit the spread of the infection the 2nd is to try and stay open let people would you recommend that they stay at home but you make them you let the infection spread and take a look at the look down 1st many if not most of the population will get infected eventually but its happening gradually there are enough hospital beds enough ventilators you you save thousands of lives so a small percent of people die but the Economic Impact is huge just for example its a one trillion dollars is lost thats a lot of taxes thats a lot of business thats going bankrupt the cost of giving millions of people Unemployment Benefits obviously the humane thing to do is to lock down but its not an easy choice for the survivors when they see the bill will be shocked their childrens children will still be paying for it indeed a Regional State finance minister in germany seen the numbers choose to take assume life rather than leave with the cost that germany is paying his main concern was whether he could manage to fulfill the huge expectations. Of the population especially in terms of Financial Aid he clearly couldnt see any way out he was desperate and so he left us thats a soaked us has shocked me now look at what Many American states do it or sweden which is staying open there letting everyone infect each other this isnt going to look good in a few weeks hospitals will be flooded and people will be dying not because you can save them but because there arent enough hospital beds enough doctors enough equipment people with utterly treatable illnesses will also be dying because all the beds of form because everyones busy treating the infected yet result is that many more people a likely go in to die but the economic damage on paper will be much smaller although we have no way idea how it will pan out lets just say for example its 200000000000. 00 what governments around the world the doing is theyre facing this choice shut everything down and save as many lives as possible but the survivors start off much poorer and take decades to undo this damage or keep everything open literally lead people who didnt have to die die just so that the survivors the economy can keep going so this list burden future generations look at texas where the lieutenant government is claiming that the elderly a ready to sacrifice their lives for the economy no one reached out to me and said senior citizen. Are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping of the america that all america loves for your children and grandchildren its an ugly choice either way no one can predict how bad this is going to get how how room all our economic models are how long it will take the. Recover or how many lives are going to be sacrificed so that the dow jones index still. Pharmaceutical firms around the globe are now in a race against time to develop a covert 900. 00 vaccine. Went to meet the director of one such company here in russia you can watch the full interview on our website r. T. Dot com. Before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on birds a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. I havent seen whats wrong with it why is it hard to create one because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it still can in to change its parts wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now wont be effective in half a year or same as with no flu similar but not really the flu does this fast. When china presented 30. 00 to 60. 00 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained 149. 00 mutations we conclude that so far we dont have a medication with convincing positive effects against code 19 all we have know is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics but just aggregate information and signal their progress to what solution may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have to sue patients so Statistical Analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine is not to prevent infection itself but to prevent this situation when everyone gets infected symbol to use the right yes indeed almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. Russia has registered 302. 00 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours that brings the total to more than 1817. 00 people have died and partial lockdown has been imposed in moscow and large parts of the country so far russia stopped short of a total lockdown as seen elsewhere in the world here in the capital starting from yesterday people around the allowed to leave their homes were absolutely necessary includes to take out the trash to buy food or go to work if your job is deemed essential walking the dog is also permitted if a national went to find out how one mosque a family is adapting to this new reality. 4 generations of one family whole self isolating together in a 4 room apartment 6 adults 2 teenagers and 3 young children. But it does feel a bit crowded here. As you can see live go zone even when you are cooped up indoors for this family that means keep doing all the things you love best as much as you can self isolation does not have to be boring. And the other kids has some concerns that. All of us stay home its always good when the families whole but when to use to that normally all of us a whole when the weekend know we have to work study and self organize but not everyone is good at it just cant wake up some people early. Does and the like of course shes absolutely mant. With. The schools may be closed and doesnt mean its time to relax all universities colleges and schools and mosques have moved on line so to keep studying all you need is a good internet connection. Keeping people online is the job of their dad andrei he works at one of moscows biggest providers nowadays remotely and says they are fully prepared for the new reality. But dont think efficiency will fall a lot so its still possible to work from home because our company is people like to call it now is digital most important thing is to have Remote Access working and i think its going to be fine to come. Will happily. With people unable to go to work the selfemployed i remain the most vulnerable anna runs her own business together with her sister. Just this year i work in the Creative Sector both in it and then die under damus fear will just stop working this worries me even more than the fact that they can also get sick im a photographer and they call and work for a home i need to interact with people cell phone is a lesion just impossible is what they do ludmer is 79 has more than ready to handle the challenges ahead. Back in the soviet union we had a saying when the party says do it its the come small replies yes and today we have to follow the same principle if the government says it has to be done that has to be done people say western democracy is the thing to strive for thats how we have to live but theres a big problem when we see that democracies can unite in theory they are doing that but in reality each stands for itself. Ludden remembers how his daughter in law courts swine flu back in 2009 he believes called the 19 is no worse than that and the world will survive. Good. She got sick with swine flu it was a very worrying time back then we didnt see such a big panic. Everyone is gathered in the kitchen listening to president putins address to the nation this is just one of many russian families and families worldwide who decided to self isolate before even any request from authorities and an official lockdown hoping it will help stop the virus spreading and understanding only uniting the efforts can counter this global threat right russian r. T. From moscow and please stay healthy. President s trumpets and have agreed to Work Together to counter the covert 900. 00 pound make that story for you after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. And spearing dramatic developments only and. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back russia and the United States have agreed to Work Together to counter the global Health Crisis donald trump and Vladimir Putin spoke by phone and discuss the economic fallout earlier russia and china sent several planeloads of medical aid to the u. S. And speaking outside the white house the president voiced his appreciation i have to say weve had great relationships with a lot of countries. China centers some stuff which was terrific russia said to us a very very large plane load of things medical equipment which was very nice other countries said things that i was very surprised that very happily surprised we learned a lot were learning a lot. New york now has more confirmed cases of code 19 than and the city in the world is the impasse the building has been lit up in the colors of an ambulance in honor from medics on each of us reports from the big o. The situation in new york worsening by the hour the state accounting for more than a 3rd of coronavirus cases in the country hospitals being pushed to the brink ive never felt so. Physically and emotionally burdened in my life ive never felt so deeply sad and distraught with more than 59000 confirmed cases in new york and more than 8500 hospitalized officials are scrambling to deal with the influx of patients at the hospital itself their overrun with patients you know your message last night broke a record we handle 6500 calls central park now a Field Hospital with 68 hospital beds but Officials Say the worst is yet to come take a look at this group video it shows teams setting up a makeshift morgue outside of Bellevue Hospital hospital in queens the bureau with the most coronavirus cases in the city possibly hit the hardest well hurst hospital has hit capacity and theres about 545 beds in here and theyre all filled with cold the patients the u. S. Navy ship comfort finally arriving in new york equipped at the 1000 hospital beds and 1200 medical personnel the vessel is sorely needed to help aid the Coronavirus Fight in new york as the city remains the epicenter of the outbreak in the u. S. The idea here with the corps of engineers with thema. And with the state and local officials is to work in collaboration so that we can provide skilled medical professionals. To take some pressure off the local and state Health Care System without with our Army Professionals as the contagion continues to. Drain the capacities of hospitals and brick and mortar facilities new york remains on lockdown we put in place your paws d program today i am going to extend it to april 15th the director of nonessential state workforce continue to work from home the c. D. C. Also issuing a travel advisory for new York New Jersey and connecticut Rhode Island National guard was door knocking homes mandating all new york visitors south korean teen this is not a lock there is a travel advisory to be implemented by the states meantime President Trump has extended social distancing guidelines through april 30th reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r. T. The tiny city of cove in 1000 outbreak began life is starting to return to normal there been no new cases registered in the past week and doctors brought into the city back in january are returning to their homes nationwide distractions are gradually being lifted across china allowing factories and businesses to reopen the doors the number of active cases has been in steady decline in february. Ok expect now to john ross whos a senior fellow at the chung institute Renmin University of china welcome john well youve experienced this 1st hand over in china what does it look like now the crisis is is it over or things just slowly starting to improve its a long way to go or how they actually experience it 1st time because by chance i was out of the country when the current virus broke up of course im in concert many many times. With all my colleagues china and also. Written in universities. Well the situation is gradually getting back i wouldnt call normal. But it is less abnormal for example just the institute where i work people started returns were. 2 weeks ago and the what theyre very confident in john is that lasik lee shows the you can defeat this virus so its weeks from the beginning the very least from the 1st lock down. To being no cases recorded at all so that went up the peak of the worst day was february for which is 3897 cases and since then in reduced or sensually 0 its been taken by the most stringent measures i mean my chinese friends are horrified by the lack of seriousness of the. Actual preparations and also the restrictions which are and they cant believe of people all still moving around some circles and frankly theyre very concerned that if very very strict measures that were introduced in china are not introduced the situation will not be got under control in western europe and not states and this is. Do you think that china has dealt with this crisis the best and what it what specific things do you think other countries should be learning from the way china dealt with it. Well i think yes i think of the data show that it was absolutely quite clear firstly joiners to say that if the. Man came on 23rd january the worst cases was then 3897 on the 4th of february that if you have 13 rising. And then youve since then youve had 6 weeks of declining taxes so this mistake itself but what people dont understand is that the outbreak in western europe and in one state is much much worse than the one in china because this is its not very meaningful to make a comparison absolute numbers when chinas population is some much bigger than that of other countries its more than 4 times the case of size and not states population 23 times the size of italys population that means that for example that when you have the same number of cases in italy and in china this actually means the situation is 23 times of bad in italy and intensity or if you look at the cumulative cases in the us. Which is 160000 as a to die actually compared to china that 700000 now the total number of cases in china just slightly i brag 1000 this means that the situation in the United States in terms of the population is 10 times as bad as the situation in china and this is because theyre not taken extremely rigorous measures not making mosque wearing compulsory theyre allowing people to go out and if you do this the number of cases will continue right then and alter allow people to put in place a tremendous infrastructure youve got to learn new government in the 1st century medical supply so it needs an all out social mobilization and the fact of the chinamans carets uncrate so so far all throughout western europe and throughout United States a number of cases of raj and very false. And do you think what you just said that do you think that perhaps some countries havent fully understood yet how to do this even the ones that have said yes we need to get people staying we need to lock down for example in india people are locked down but they cant get access to feed this a that were going to starve to death some countries perhaps dont even understand how to do this properly even though theyre trying but its very difficult in the culture. Of litter is a separate country in which of the several plans and situation there must be absolutely nightmarish but the fundamental thing that youve got to understand that youve got to impose the strictest possible measures the all for example just simply giving advice and so on i was on your program earlier saying for example United States theyre. Saying this is not a lockdown this is a travel advisory well im sure im sorry those measures wont deal with it you have to have a proper lockdown of what you want to graduate in each country will be forced to move towards that type of measures which china has got me im not saying this to criticize anybody because the situation is much too serious to engage in some political or other type of attack in or what i want to do is i want to them to study china instead of the criticisms which is that western press they should be desperately in contact with china asking them for their voice china is also by far the biggest manufacturing country they can help enormously with supplies medical equipment so in every sense that they should be in contact and asking for every possible virus and every possible help from china thats thats why i want to stress that really the situation in the in the west is much worse than situation was even at the worst one china. When we get to a point where things have dramatically improved that nobody knows of course but that will be how do you think china is going to be perceived because you said theres been a lot of criticism for the country because of a perceived lack of transparency at the start of the outbreak but at the same time theyve been praised hugely from the likes of the world health organization. Well this is known each other and then saw as not. This was not a virus which nobody had ever seen before so therefore it was absolutely impossible that everything would be done right at the beginning and it wasnt enjoyed it doesnt play was what they have done is once they decided on that size and met as i say they were able to stop the rise in the number of cases off the 13 days and then took a further 6 weeks to get it down to 0 but it showed that it could stop i think the situation is so serious that all this nonsense just appear in the bow china just because this is going to be the most Global Crisis because nick event since world war 2 many people almost all dont want to die and therefore they war have a situation which they will have to learn the truth is that all the misrepresentations and nonsense its coming now. Wolf all the way and people understand that china is the only country which has got the virus for the under control some countries have done very good job deaths that are. South korea south korea and kristofferson and slight is that the only country which has actually got the number of cases down to centuries china and therefore thats the country which you have to start. You talked about the fact that some people called the chinese approach in just very quickly if you compare that with the u. K. Who are looking to very gently develop herdman this sort of herd immunity do you think that they could still prove to be right or not. Not a jobs the government has already burst its policy the stuff onto. Coming in is nonsense i mean people so somebody said to me in an exchange of well what about china chinas human rights record i said check Charlie Sheen rights record in this is keeping people alive and thats all this is much much too serious the government is going to have to take what we call draconian measures otherwise they wont succeed in getting on top of it thats why its continuing to spread extremely rapidly in western europe and United States they will be forced to sell you peoples lives and people demanding that the adequate measures are taken otherwise the virus will not stop spreading and is no vaccine there is no cure the only thing you can do. That we have run out of time have to interrupt you there but many thanks for coming on appreciate it john ross senior fellow at the chung institute at Renmin University of china. That wraps it up about with updates and off. Throughout this trial. And of mr oppenheimer
