Hello this is Art International from moscow its just 1 pm in this friday. When im here with the 30 minute world news roundup for you starting with the latest covert 19 figures today the total number of corona virus cases around the globe theres no exceeded 1000000 with the largest numbers of cases registered in the United States italy and spain the number of deaths to continues his troubling rise its now more than 54000 globally but there is some encouraging news as well the number of recoveries is also soaring and is now exceeded 218000. In other developments in israel making sure all communities abide by strict rules is proving really difficult there are more than 7000 known infections there despite intense Movement Restrictions one hot spot is an ultraorthodox town where locals are ignoring social distancing advice as paul asleep discovered. But come to mastering one of the oldest jewish neighborhoods in jerusalem now when youre into science fact this i ask you not to prostitute anymore destress i am dressed modestly but you can already hear people shouting and booing and yelling they dont like journalists here they dont like the police and we are here because we want to monitor the whole coronavirus situation and the fact that most of the cases are coming from ultraorthodox neighborhoods like this one information is placed on billboards because there is no television or radio in these communities many of the posters on the yiddish and language that was spoken in the 9th century in Central Europe most israelis dont speak yiddish its only the ultraorthodox communities who do not some of these posters warn against the koran this virus and also encourage social distancing but its too little too late the latest ata shows at the highest rates of infection among the ultraorthodox and they still not taking heed superintendent Mickey Rosenfeld is the National Police spokesperson and hes here to assess things how exactly have the ultraorthodox been flouting the regulations well here we are located in the area of mash on him in the religious neighborhood weve seen an extremely high number of people that have been in the streets our units are now patrolling all of the different areas because we want to prevent the corona virus from spreading that is something thats absolutely vital here in israel as weve seen the numbers going up and the main problem being inside the area is the fact that the neighborhoods are very closed very confined and we seeing that the message is not getting out to the public there are large numbers of people inside the families were talking about couples plus 567 even 10 children and we have to make sure that people stay at home and they stay away from each other as much as possible at this stage in some cases police would be removing people from synagogues and closing down places of worship its really tough going trying to convince people in this ultra orthodox neighborhood to abide by the end on a virus or does. Buses are allowed to travel with 25 people on board a synagogue is an open place. They allowed only 10 people to carry with 2 nieces between each other. Still closing it why. The only thing though in medieval is the souls to be opened the only thing for nothing else was she was not even knowing the group of these if he was he was actually was that once was or was not there that was. Done he said must tell us some people screaming on the balcony and i was trying to just wonder even it is just because theyre not in the c. C. C. That we stick efficiency not scientists not people in this neighborhood im not shy just a genesis was easy to see just how bizarre the peace appears to be saying that she thinks are actually things like i think one of the shots is teaching you moment was. Was. Was. Was her. So many religious jews here prayer is that on city the coronavirus but with big hospitals reporting that 40 to 60 percent of cases come from the docs neighborhoods the police will continue to crackdown. Masha jerusalem house who are a migrant camp near athens has become the 1st such facility in greece to record an outbreak of corona virus its now been quarantined theres been concerns for weeks though the poor conditions inside the often compounds spreads disease more quickly reporting next shallow dube and school today. Security has been reinforced at the camp at cerner where the infection has taken hold its just 70 or so kilometers north of athens and its home to around 2500 migrants all living in close proximity all the food baskets and hygiene kits are being distributed charities have warned of the dangers of disease taking hold in a migrant camp for some people some of whom are at high risk of severe disease or death to even duty in unsanitary conditions crammed together in close quarters is a recipe for spreading the virus not to mention it is degrading and inhumane. The quarantine was imposed after to merge the new mother from its owner was found to be infected with couvade 19 now she had given birth in a hospital in athens and its not clear if she contract with the virus and or in the camp but with other residents now testing positive the new confinement rules mean no one will be allowed out for the next 14 days the greek government has held its hands up and admitted the conditions in the camps all problematic but it points the finger at the e. U. The conditions are far from being ideal but it is dealing with this problem basically on its own we havent gotten as much support from the European Union as we want. The reaction is. Europe is returning to the nation states and is moving away from or should have been a common European Response to a common Global Challenge that rebuke came off the clashed over the economic response to the pandemic last week greece and for coronavirus bond the idea is that the debt as a result of this crisis would be guaranteed by countries however that was rejected by germany and it was also rejected by the netherlands now a new one 100000000000. 00 euro fund for the hardest hit countries has been unearthed the European Commission president says that every year are Still Available in the budget would be spent on tackling the crisis we have developed the concept of short time work. It is intended to help italy spain and all other countries that have been hard hit this is European Solidarity in action the middle lane says the nearly agreed initiative does demonstrate European Solidarity but for europes poor countries in the south such as greece and italy countries that already feel that they are shouldering more than that fashion when it comes to my quince this new fund may feel more like a drop in the ocean rather than a life raft issue surely helped us form to reach into. Trying to. Account to you for immigrants for a few days and this is some acceptable especially as its coming from members of the same union the exploited to the did not simply abandon these in i believe the scene to some extent has happened to see jerry will have to find a more general solution to a new way i dont believe that a vision unit can exist with far longer if it continues to do what it is doing to each poorer and smaller members it will be destroyed the french medical emergencies chief says government efforts to get protective equipment to medics isnt moving fast enough the country is dealing with more than over 59000 cases more than 5000 have died dr eric chancy is been describing the deluge of patients his regions having to treat. Sure i surely do for in the ills of france region were sort of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take a patient out of intensive care their place is immediately taken by another patient the date by which these most should arrive is actually within the next 10 to 15 days is that reassuring no because there is a period during which we will continue to work and lack equipment or its also been claimed that a batch of masks to to be sent to france from china was instead diverted to the United States after by as swooped in with cash washington denies making such a move but either which way the head of one french region says securing future orders now is vital to the growth of the we have ordered 60000000 masks for all regions but this morning in china right at the looting dock the americans bought up a french order for cash the plane which was supposed to fly to france headed to the United States with similar problems i must secure the cargo of the cargo is not intercepted who overbroad by others directly at the losing big demand for masks in france has rocketed to 40000000 a week just for medical personnel right now the country can only produce 8000000 even with more factories joining in production will only reach 10000000 a week by the end of april independent journalist told us the worlds learning a big lesson here. Can it be shark off the 30s you know the americans cannot manage things that way it is totally unacceptable here it is really bullying it is being on the chinese airport in offering 3 times the price cash and thats it and we dont care about that people were supposed to receive the Good Governance of the regions masks in in china because they cant rely upon the state of prompt president mark or the liver that its a big lesson probably for americans true and for europeans and for everybody in the world that you cannot simply. Send all your industry is out of the country abandon production when you come to epidemic strike this one or a pandemic its impossible now to find mouth masks anywhere because everybody wants them. Britains race to quell the pandemic has seen the government pledge to boost testing by the end of the month as it grapples with close 234000 infections putting the u. K. In the top 10 nations know in terms of confirmed cases only 3000 people have died in the u. K. So far with doctors facing really difficult decisions about how to prioritize patients with a higher probability of survival imagine having to do that a temporary mortuary is now being built in east london to should there be a predicted sharp rise in deaths construction should be complete by the end of the week of that also behavior be witnessed elsewhere britains medical staff and pharmacists are bearing the brunt of the public stands diety in a recent survey some 77 percent of pharmacist said that theyve noticed an increase in verbal abuse theyre having to put up with 16 percent said theyd even been physically attacked lately Kay Partridge next today looks at the darker side than of their difficulties right now on the front line of this despite the very public show of affection from every week. The u. K. Recently joined the rest of the world in an emotional tribute to its frontline keris in the battle against covert 19. Thank you very 2 much ive definitely seen and to give the next week the country even though most vironment and patients seem to be very grateful for the care that we raise the boys medics are our new soldiers risking their lives to save others but this global war has an ugly side in a short space of time these brave workers are also falling victim to verbal and physical abuse i hear from Community Nurses that they have been heckled debt and verbal abuse and called to see spreaders this is supporting behavior it must stop right now Society Needs us more than ever headlines from around the world are grim to an australian nurse punched in the face and coughed at a hospital janitor in the philippines has bleach thrown in his face in india at least one doctor was assaulted by police besieged new york medics are also suffering abuse while some french care workers have had to hire gods the u. K. S National Health Service has told its nurses not to where they uniforms in public for their own safety while some medical workers have even been evicted from their homes basically. All n. H. S. In the uniforms and. This. Is because your thoughts and you can see that i mean. Were not there. And to treat each this way its absolutely disgusting and the toll isnt just physical last week in italy 34 year old nurse daniela thread see who worked in the covert 19 intensive care ward of a hospital near milan found out she caught the virus. Thought of the idea she could have spread it and facing the relentless working conditions in europe aspirants epicenter she took her own life well its not just nurses its all Health Care Workers and that includes 1st responders and carers in the Community Many are experiencing the same diety and theyre overwhelmed by will and i think the physical and mental to mounds of long share ssion excessive workload and fear of catching the virus is specially difficult for Health Care Workers at this time danniella trances tragic Case Highlights the increasing stress medical staff are armed and you study also shows theyre reporting high levels of anxiety and depression as they risk their mental as well as physical wellbeing the un has hailed the worlds Health Care Workers as heroes who must be protected one investigator said their tireless work in selfsacrifice shows the best of humanity they now need protection not only from the virus but the worst of humanity Kate Partridge r. T. London. Is 16 cause one of the afternoon or of all school of a target is rob youre watching thanks for taking the time to be with us this is Art International with me kevin o. In coming up a look at whats happening here in russia after the break then those restrictions get extended throat april now and regions get to decide for themselves how best to respond. Micrographs friends arent sleights and dad sed you know whites are man for example theres their slight against women or more on nonwhite so its its its always the idea is that statements that directed toward a Privileged Group are interpreted differently than a statement that i directed toward an oppressed group and so thats kind of the. The whole framework and its its a political framework thats used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say or rather the north more than we need to call attention to them but its not so its a very political in this country. Join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Again in the United States new york remains by far the worst affected coronavirus trouble spot confirmed cases no racing above 903000 well more than 2 and a half 1000. Nurses that have been describing the struggles Health Care Workers a facing and theyre overwhelmed hospitals. Very definitely walking into work its all we no longer know what were walking into. Areas we dont know what minute we can make it. I think what. We are working understanding now were possibly getting more exposure to the already and were burnt out we are becoming every day are not getting support from our managers cars you know our government is telling us we can wear a simple bandana we dont. Even make sense we can we can do this if we want to do this because this is. Our life we care we want to see people but we cant do that if were dying earth out because the amount exposure and the lack of proper protective equipment so somethings got to get it looks like its. The covert fallout so a record 6600000 americans my job was claims last week as another massive wave of unemployment leaves households struggling to pay their bills finance show boom bust has been assessing just how the American Economy can bounce back after this. Here in the United States were now looking at 10000000 people who have filed for unemployment in just the past 2 weeks 10000000 people who say i have gone from having a job to have exeat hours or no work at all in the last just 2 weeks its an absolutely incredible number and were talking about an Unemployment Rate that could climb as high some analysts are saying as what we saw in the Great Depression obviously these numbers are a little bit different this is not an economic crisis right now its a pandemic meaning that in theory as soon as everything kind of reopens people would be able to get those jobs back and get back to work assuming that all businesses get back to work you know what i mean by that i think the economy is going to struggle on a moving forward basis what weve done is weve inflated what we all call that everything bubble and thats a direct result of the fed in their intervention going back to the late eightys it doesnt start with power thats for sure the u. S. Economy is built on 3 things asset bubbles debt in confidence and then you can see high unemployment now with the government doing their 2 trillion in stimulus going to be chasing most likely fewer goods and services because of the supply chain disruptions that we see andy globalization and so youre going to most likely see Consumer Prices this that you buy at the Grocery Store every day is going to go up in price or assets come down and again that steak place in a type of environment. Here in russia there are currently over 4000 registered cases 30 full people have died as the number of cases spiked yesterday president putin extended the countrys coronavirus lock down here until the end of april i got more on that than area from a correspondent goes down oh. Well it was the 2nd time that Vladimir Putin addressed the nation in relation to the coronavirus and this time his address was rather brief and sounded and looked like more like an update on to as to whats being done. What to expect and well perhaps the most important part here is that while russians will be staying home till the end of the month the blood goats bits at least the girls will again according to the peak of the global epidemic has not yet passed including in our country because of this ive decided to extend the nonworking regime unt
