Sharing the pandemic which used. Pentagon tries to secure around 100000 body bags amid shortages and overrun facilities in the us where the number of deaths is expected to soar in the coming weeks. Hello this is Art International from moscow has just turned 3 pm here this thursday my names kevin oh in a warm welcome to this 30 minute world news round up im 1st these the latest figures in the covert 1000. 00 pandemic today the total number of coronavirus cases around the globe is varying towards a 1000000 the number of deaths to continues its troubling rise its now more than 48000. 00 with billions under lockdown over 200000 people have recovered. Lets start this hour the latest from russia 771 new coronavirus cases were confirmed earlier today with the total number jumping to over 3500 its the biggest single day increase in patients since the start of the break so far theres been 30 deaths here the russian president is expected to deliver another nationwide address in the next hour or so to give an update on the countrys response to the pandemic such detail reports next from central moscow. The moment we know that this is the 2nd address in the last 8 days the president putin will be making to the nation we know that its going to happen sometime on thursday afternoon probably around 4 pm local time now just like the fast one that was last wednesday this was quite unexpectedly announced so before we delve into what potential would be on the topic of conversation lets listen to that announcement just to you. Right now no decision has been taken about prolonging the paid work for the week the president is working on his new nationwide address lets wait and see what the president has to say. Putin did hold a televised Conference Meeting with his government and they discussed a number of issues including of course the Coronavirus Fight and it was announced that after that the 33000000. 00 would be dedicated to paying salaries of people in the wost hit sectors those things like travel Tourism Hospitality weve seen. How lines have been forced to lay off tens of thousands of Staff Members as a result of this pandemic it was also said that a much larger figure 18000000000. 00 if the if that number is correct would be dedicated to generally the fight against coronavirus and theyve specifically aimed at supporting small and medium sized businesses that have been that have seen obviously terrible losses in the last couple of weeks and months also on wednesday the parliament approved an increase of much harsher fines and punishment for those who dont quarantine correctly i was actually in this very last wednesday that i was sitting one person made his foster address to the nation but he essentially laid out a battle plan amongst specific measures he also announced a non week that is the week that what carty and 30th of march into the 5th of april essentially all russians except those working Critical Services occur in sitting out home in. Self isolation they can only go out if theyre going to the pharmacy if theyre going to the closest shop or indeed if they have much to go to the hospital so today there are some people asking will we see an extension of that 7 day nonworking week or will we even potentially see something much harsher imposed i. E. A lockdown that were seeing in the style of other European Countries like the u. K. France italy and of course spain which has been terribly hit so those are the kinds of questions those things that could be discussed economic measures stricter social distancing policies all of the c. B. Listening and well bring you the very latest when ever he emerges it will be across it next time francis no suppost 4000 coronavirus related deaths and 57000 registered cases surprisingly those on the front line of treating the sick are reporting that theres suffering violence and abuse one nurse says she was attacked as the stole the face masks she was carrying and pharmacy workers this theyre also suffering physical and verbal abuse in strict quarantine rules were imposed our system shows a 50 to 60 percent increase in aggressive action against pharmacists since the beginning of the isolation regime compared to the same weeks last year these actions include insoles threats but also physical attacks and break ins in neighboring italy the lockdowns been extended with difficulty in buying food using some resort a 3rd. Covering that. It started in solidarity and song to keep up spirits. I. But now off to 3 weeks of lockdown the mood and dangers are apparently evolving they are no longer singing dancing on the balconies now people are more afraid not so much of the virus but of poverty many are out of work and hungry even though in the poorer southern regions the impact of covert 19 has been less dramatic than in the north they too are in confinement and just people run out of food and money so dissipate as residents are becoming Desperate Police are now patrolling supermarkets and streets in some areas no longer just to make sure that people are staying indoors but to stop thieves would need to act fast more than that distress into violence as supplies dry up reports are emerging that gangs around sicily are using social media to plot attacks on stores this comes after a Ferry Company that used to deliver vital supplies of food and medicine to the island fell into bankruptcy and has halted its services its not just the stores that are under threat local media has also reported that 2 elderly italians were rolled off their shopping by young people on scooters targeted apparently because they were seen as easy prey civil unrest is some suggest a real concern im afraid that the worries gone are a thanking large sections of the population over help him. The future with the continuation of the crisis will turn into ungar cred that warning has been echoed by the head of the red cross which believes italy wont be the only country impacted by social unrest if the lock downs continue in the most difficult neighborhoods of the biggest cities im afraid in a few weeks who have social problems this is a social bomb that can explode at any moment because they dont have any way to have an income even though italys Prime Minister. Has said his government too will designate 400000000 euros for food vouchers as part of the why dont release package may say that the funds simply arent enough. We were expecting more and i hope the government will find a way the situation is extremely delicate as a significant part of the population has 0 income those who before lived with dignity now find themselves in difficulty quarantine in italy has been extended until at least april the 12th but as with other countries that is not a definitive end date and while covert 19 may be gutting the country italy soon could have to fight back against a very different kind of threat charlotte even ski r. T. Paris italys economy was already fragile before the virus hit no locals fear this latest impact might mean their lives never return to normal. When i leave my home here in florence do some shopping i feel the situation has really become more dramatic the streets are empty and i see Police Officers doing their checks everywhere im no really afraid for myself but i do feel worried about the situation in general if things dont change soon and people keep losing their jobs remain locked up or we risk of a crisis much worse than anything before. This is one of the hardest moments we have ever had to endure we are trying to move forward despite all the sadness what people see in the future well i think it will be very hard especially for local businesses who are already starting to go bankrupt i help our government will help and europe will not abandon us. People look at people out of said because of bees and though we are easily to each child our friends the apes and basically what the perception off of they look for is that there we would never go back to normal life. Even after after their love down this is due to do it factor so many company Many Services along with the restaurants were shut down definitely after a new crisis even worse months from there you know youre being you you know on Central Banks not enough where before a color. Sort of crisis will be a war then doesnt that mean a decent this is our perception. So im a director of 2 hotels in marina the camera also which is close to salerno its a coastal city where we used to hosting many tourists in the summer time but due to this pandemic situation we dont know how its going to be were trying to modify our Cancellation Policy but for sure well lose a lot of money as well have to drop our prices. Were going to try and stay positive throughout all this mess isolated italians are still keeping their spirits up with a bit of music and song from their balconies one neighborhoods definitely lucked out theyve been serenaded by a professional opera singer no less. Than one though theyre not the only one your loved one. Will know the last. One will and will will. The others call email has been telling us how the popularity of that video being shared widely online is helping her overcome the difficulties of a understated home. The plan wasnt actually to make a video. Once they closed all of the streets and everything in rome they made an announcement on t. V. That people would get together in solidarity to sing difference arms for 3 nights in a row and on this night we went out and everyone sang the National Anthem together and then my neighbors asked me to sing another song so i sang this line and my friend fell but it was definitely not my hands my friend uploaded it to face and i got a lot of it is that i share it and then it just kind of. Crazy it helps that i how so many people reaching out to me after this video. And they said that i have helped them but really they have helped me a lot and i have my family and my friends but im here by myself and. Its really hard you know. With a pandemic is proving to be a litmus test to for solidarity in the e. U. The reluctance of germany and other wealthy european nations to share the Financial Burdens inferior to italy or europe correspondent peter all of a look closer at that impasse. Away from quarantine and self isolation the very future of how the European Union sees itself may be at risk from this corona pandemic will it look back and see a union that stick together through tough times or one that fell apart a group of the talian officials took out a full page police in a major german newspaper that told at the heartstrings it is solidarity that you germans were showing by many European Countries after the war and up until reunification did german friends memory helps in making the right decisions the crux of the letter is hope hope that the financial burden for dealing with corona virus will be shared out amongst Member States it echoes what had previously been said by the italian Prime Minister just cant take talking about mutual izing current and future debt not harping back to world war 2. Again i wanted so old german citizens were not right in the beach overdosed on economics by the beach of a history book germanys hardly greeted those pleas with open arms maintaining that the 2012 european state billeted mechanism is the only option. So it is no to corona bombs yes to the european stability mechanism and Investment Bank i think that is the way to help europe and at the same time to maintain the stability of the euro in the long term that response is left some in rome angry europe has enjoyed it italys political weakness for many decades italy today does not want to be a waiter while others are eating lobsters like france and germany if you plan to take advantage of the emergency to bring countries like italy or other countries with more fragile economies to their needs europe will have no future. Well im fairly old firm made a show of removing the from his office replacing it with the italian trickle its a symbolic gesture of fish but what it does show is that there are some Member States that are increasingly disappointed in a union that supposed to look out for everyones interests not being particularly forthcoming when it comes to helping those in dire need deal not only with a pandemic but also with the Economic Impact it will also have peter all over r. T. Is called the answer to the euro moscow hi there were reporting worldwide here on out international as countries tackle the pandemic on the way than the american sailors stuck at sea after the outbreak on board their warship is causing a headache too for the tiny Pacific Island now expected to help isolate what are thousands of troops among the stories coming up when. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or inmate in the shallows. In london Julian Assange standing trial on whether he will be extradited to the u. S. To face espionage charges the stakes could not be higher i saw inches live even life is on the line freedom of speech is also on trial though you wouldnt know that stream media. The pentagon is trying to source 100000 body bags right now the United States currently has the worlds highest number of infections and white house Officials Say the virus could play more than 2 100000 lives in the country more than a 1000 died on wednesday alone the highest daily number so far the situations getting so tough in new york that refrigerated trucks a big station here overwhelmed hospitals to try to cope with the rising amount of deaths as americas to each of its reports. As the 2nd month of the corona Virus Outbreak begins in the nation is. Bracing for the worst of it i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead this disturbing video showing several bodies being moved from a Brooklyn Hospital treating kovac 19 patients the number of deaths expected to grow as we approach the anticipated apex the range on the apex is somewhere between. Lets say 7 to 21. Makeshift hospitals are wrecked across new york city the Javits Center central park and now parts of the Tennis Center that host the u. S. Open this as concerns grow that hospitals will soon run out of protective equipment for staff and medical supplies including those lifesaving ventilators which Governor Cuomo says are nearly impossible to get its like being on e bay with 50 other states bidding on a ventilator. And you see the big go up because california. Illinois bit florida bid new york bids california rebids thats literally what were doing new york city mayor bill de blasio calling on all veterinarians and plastic surgeons to lend their ventilators if youve got a ventilator in your office in your operating room we need it now it should not be sitting there doing nothing all officials are still working to flatten the curve in new york Governor Cuomo believes the apex will hit the state at some point in april reporting in new york city chavez r. T. Thousands of sailors on the 1st u. S. Warship on deployment to report and will be taken off the vessel by friday more than 100. 00 personnel of Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive and of course quarantining with stuff in such close proximity to one another as proved a huge challenge the evacuation would be carried out in the u. S. Pacific territory where the ships docked right now but thats a concern in itself which could see facilities there overstretched the islands only got a couple of 100 hospital beds and is already dealing with nearly 80 local infections u. S. Warships crew will no self isolated military bases and local hotels although some will have to stay on board. One thing i want to emphasize as well is that we cannot and will not remove all the say or from the ship and thats not what the Commanding Officer requested either nor the medical team our plan has always been to remove as much of the crew as we can while maintaining for the ships safety this ship has weapons on it it has munitions on it it has expensive aircraft and it has a Nuclear Power plant that requires a certain number of people on that ship to maintain the safety and security of the ship if former pentagon analyst Michael Maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when theres an outbreak on a military vessel. Its very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise a cruise ship which also was infected on an Aircraft Carrier or a destroyer or submarine you dont have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the captain because they do what they because theyre on 247 duty they do what they call hot words they someone whos on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps in it i mean its that closely confined and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if youre open is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladder holding the same areas constantly and to keep those areas germ free is its going to be a much would be a monumental task.
