This is Art International from moscow has just turned to p. M. A. Now this friday im kevin owen with this 30 minute world news round up for you and 1st the latest figures in the covert 19 pandemic today as it stands this hour and the total number of coronavirus cases around the globe has now exceeded 1000000. 00 with the largest number of cases registered in the United States in italy and in spain the number of deaths to continues to rise it standing at. More than 54000 however there are some encouraging news as well the number of recoveries has also soaring its now gone up even more from last hour now 219000 exceeded have recovered. You know. In other news in israel making sure all communities abide by Strict Lockdown rules is proving difficult there are more than 7000 known infections there despite intense Movement Restrictions one hot spot is no draw for docs where locals are ignoring social distancing advice still fall asleep yet discovered more. Welcome 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 church 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 as 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 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 have been 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 them with 2 nieces between each other. Still closing it so why. Not the only thing that we need is the souls to be open the only thing for nothing else was she was not even know the group of these 7 this was was actually the cause that once was or was was not there for the right. Time he said not so far as some people screaming on the balcony i was trying to just wonder even it is just ridiculous im not going to see if hes really sick efficiency not designers not people in this neighborhood im not shy just a genesis was he just was happy so much the peace appears to be saying that she thinks are actually things that are defining the chances to get to the moment was. I was was it. 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 ultra orthodox neighborhoods the police will continue to crack down. Masha reem jerusalem a migrant camp near athens has become the 1st such facility in greece to record an outbreak of corona virus its now been quarantined the big concerns for weeks though the poor conditions inside the often compounds spreads disease more quickly reporting that shallow dubin ski. 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 live in 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 2 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 yet clear if she contract 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 poor 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 to new leaders clashed over the economic response to the pandemic last week greece and for a coronavirus point the idea is that the debt as a result of this crisis would be guaranteed by all countries however that was rejected by germany and it was also rejected by the netherlands now a new 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 mundelein 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 migrants this new fund may feel more like a drop in the ocean rather than a life raft issues surely that helped us form to reach into. Kind of. County for immigrants for a few days and this is some acceptable especially as its coming from members of the same union the exploitative it is not simply abandon in there i believe the same to some extent has happened to see germany will have to find a more general solution to a new way i dont believe that these union can exist who are far wrong if it continues to do what it is doing to each poor and smaller members it will be destroyed the french medical emergencies chief says government efforts to get protective equipment to medics there isnt moving fast enough the country is dealing with more than over 59000 cases more than 5000 have died not eric charles hes been describing the deluge of patients his regions having to treat not sure i usually do for in the older france region were sort of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take a patient out of intensive care theyre places immediately taken by another patient the date by which these marshy derive 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. Meantime its claimed that a batch of masks to be sent to france from china was instead diverted to the United States of tobias swooped in with cash washington denies make in such a move but either which way the head of one french region says securing vital orders now is vital that they go from there we have ordered 60000000 mosques for all regions but this morning in china right at the looting dark the americans brought up a french would have the cash the plane which was supposed to fly to france headed for the United States with similar problems i must secure the cargo of the cargo is not intercepted overbroad by others directly at the losing big demand from 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 luke of a told us the worlds learning a big lesson here it cant be shark off the 30s you know the americans cannot manage things that way it is totally unacceptable here it is really bullying editors of being on the chinese airport on offering 3 times the price cash and thats it we get up and we dont care about the 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 michael to the lives of them its a big lesson probably for americans to and for europeans and for everybody in world that you cannot simply. Send all your and stress out of the country abandon production when you come to epidemics like this one or a pandemic its impossible now to find mouth masks anywhere because everybody one stone. Britains race to the pandemic has seen the government pledge no to boost testing by the end of the month as it grapples with close to 34000. 00 infections but in the u. K. In the top 10 nations in terms of confirmed cases indeed nearly 3000 people have died in the u. K. With doctors facing difficult decisions about prioritizing patients with a higher probability of survival a temporary mortuary is now being built in east london should there be a predicted sharp rise in deaths destruction should be complete by the end of the week. Also behavior being witnessed elsewhere britains medical staff and pharmacists are bearing the brunt of the publics anxiety it seems in a recent survey out 77 percent of pharmacist said that theyve noticed an increase in verbal abuse lately 16 percent so that even being physically attacked on the front line of all this Kate Partridge looks at the darker side of their difficulties right now despite the very public show of affection 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. Definitely seeing and to get the next week the country even the most vironment and patients seem to be very grateful for the care that we wait with 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 at a 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 wear they uniforms in public for their own safety while some medical workers have even been evicted from their homes basically. All n. H. S. Being told not to go into the uniforms and to keep. Your pulse and you can say that i mean. Were not lawyers and we treat 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 shed 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 chefs and excessive workload and fear of catching the virus is expression difficult for Health Care Workers at this time danniella trances tragic Case Highlights the increasing stress medical staff are under a new study also shows theyre reporting high levels of anxiety and depression as they risk their mental as well as physical wellbeing the u. N. 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 you know what an amazing job of the program theyre doing indeed we must thank them now coming up here on Arts International with me kevin o. In moscow edge q today a look at whats happening here in russia after the break restrictions get extended throughout april the regions get to decide their for themselves how best to respond. Im going to fulfill the repeated promises. To the people you know weve all pots of the. Free beer. Now you want to 1st. Know. Oh yeah. I can link up my yard. Again in the United States new york remains by far the worst affected coronavirus trouble spot confirmed cases of racing above 93000 well more than 2 and a half 1000 have died the nurses there have been describing the struggles that healthcare workers face in the overwhelmed post battles. Yeah i mean walking into words you know we no longer know what were walking into we dont know. We dont know weve been in we cant make it. I think working. We work in 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 ours you know our government is telling us we can wear a simple bandana because. It makes sense we can we can do this if we want to do this because this is. Our life we care which one of the people but we cant do that if were dying because the amount exposure and the lack of proper protective equipment so somethings got to get it looks like its. The covered fall out so a record 6600000. 00 americans made jobless claims last week as another massive wave of unemployment leaves households struggling to pay their bills or to find and 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 in the people who say i have gone from having a job to having 0 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 how 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 n. D. 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 that we brief enough for a bit of whats happening here in russia if you will that occur and have a 4000 registered cases 34 people have died here as the number of cases spiked yesterday president putin extended the countrys coronavirus law until the end of april i got more a lot of from a correspondent he goes down off. Well it was the 2nd time there 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 and 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 ago its at least the girls will get 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 until the end of the month but is through to april 30th i would like to emphasize that employees will continue to receive their salaries. To an extent the address was also even therapeutic in its nature to show the russians that they are not being abandoned by the government and to give them an idea as to what the government is doing to prevent as many deaths as possible glad im appalled and also focused on what regions should be doing what measures regions should be taking to prevent the coronavirus spreading across russia and essentially is said that while regional authorities will be given greater powers to be able to handle this pandemic more autonomy will be a victim gloams according to my decree governors will be given additional powers until the end of this week they will have to determine a specific set of preventative measures which are optimized for their territories both in terms of ensuring Health People security and the sustainability of the economy and key infrastructure in the regions themselves based on the situations we will decide which regime is introduced. To the key outtake from this is that local governments should be acting proportionately to the medical situation in each particular region for instance moscow with the place with most diagnosed called 1000 cases here in russia has been sort of leading the charge in such quarantine measures for example people here are not allowed. To go out unless its to visit a local supermarket or to briefly and quickly walk the dog Vladimir Putin also gave orders to the russian government to step up the production of personal Protection Equipment and disinfectants as well as to start working on developing new covert 19 testing kits which will be able to do the job work quicker and more efficiently with almost all passenger flights currently grounded in nations sealing themselves off thousands of travelers are currently still stranded abroad unable to get home again but confusion over of flights is leaving many in limbo as you know neal reports.
