Up dramatically over the past 20 years. Its not reflected in the price of bread. And now its starting to be that way so that inflation that we saw in the High End Products is going to end up being in the staples like wheat bread and i just saw somebody. For sale somewhere that price was a 100 percent. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person and those with. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. Them back to the program our reminder of our breaking news has postponed moscow 75th victory day parade on the 9th of may as well as other mass advance to honor the victory over the nazi regime as due to the high risk still posed by the corner virus pandemic this is what the president had to say. I would change the sheer joy and postpone the rehearsal for the military march on red square and postpone all of the Mass Gatherings to celebrate 75 years since the great victory what we realize is that this wasnt an easy decision to make this was an incredibly important parade that was going to happen a host of World Leaders had been invited to attend this is the Diamond Jubilee of the defeat of hitlers germany on this day in the 9th of may 1945. Hitlers germany capitulated to the side to surrender. To 75 years commemoration and this this was an event that is that this could be unprecedented and to have to cancel it. Must of cool but you know gladly if we did say that they have to weigh the risks they have Public Safety against remembering the sacrifices that the country made during world war 2. Were now facing a tough choice the 9th of may is a special day for us but the life of every Single Person is priceless to hold the parade on the 9th of may we need to start rehearsals now but the risks posed by the epidemic as well as its peak which we havent post yet still high thats why i cannot stop the rehearsals for the parade under the public gatherings it was still up in the air until until this last moment with just weeks to go until the paraded celt russia was spared in the initial stages of the pandemic infection numbers here had been very relatively low and there had been you know there had been hope that perhaps with follow the scenario that happened in singapore in south korea where the infection was contained unfortunately it is growing more and more people every day in russia. Becoming infected and we havent yet reached a peak as veterans groups had urged that mutant and the government to postpone to perhaps Council Public events public festivities the parades itself for food safety reasons and eventually the government looking at the data it had the spread of the pandemic decided that you know eat its better to postpone it here that it hasnt been council it has been postponed we will perhaps expect some sort of commemorations during the night that make this perhaps televised speech is. That there certainly will be events just not public was not the parade that self which is grown in scope and which is happens where you live for a quarter of a century nor the march of the immortal regiment and this is this is perhaps more important than the military parades itself where hundreds of thousands of wouldnt be russians marched through the red square behind me holding putrid portraits of their family members of their relative abscessed as grandparents grandmothers who died fighting the nazi war machine which was which was stopped. Its majority in russia which is where he lost most of these suits moves that these fire power adds a tremendous cost to russian lives tens of millions of people died stopping him stopping his armies but the battles the sacrifice the russian me was tremendous was unimaginable and uncountable and the memory has preserved that hes been preserved in russia people remember the tremendous suffering of those is. The deaths the the agony of the rule and the government has made a point by showing that by the. Latest military hardware its jets its troops demonstrating to the people. This will never ever happen again that russia will be ready to repel any invade in the future and that the people that the children of the. World would keep in the country safe and secure from here that their children wouldnt have to do what previous generations when so in this case again the parade house be pushed to a later date 2020 the march of the immortal regiment as well as. We are to expect some facilities and commemorations in some form or another book the sensible thing the sensible decision has been made were in the middle of a pandemic and if the veterans themselves are saying dont do this you know this new point carrying on with a march through the red square. The 75th anniversary of victory day parade has been much anticipated and not just by russians on the other side of europe French Resistance fighters are playing their part against German Occupation of the country and the ability told us about his role in the operation. Im going to. Force a book on you plus each other. You do because you dont know the lingo but me. Going to broader me dont. Want it to be and do deserve a. Moment borrow more money doesnt go your way only show. You look at book the rules of the book version to get dress or gee you dont play ball or hes a good one week you dont like her. Little boy do she stupid hell be up for the most you know. And youre going or go demented used throughout the last 4 or so world going to you are. The. Key on a storage only just for transit or. To discuss this breaking news we cross live to journalist and broadcaster neil clark that may 9th is one of the most important dates and russias calendar its a huge thing for every single russian what does this postponement really say about the situation that were currently facing. Well it says quite clearly were in a very serious situation this was an important anniversary this was just and the anniversary this was extremely important 75th anniversary of the great victory in world war 2 and it had to be disposed which is very very sad indeed because i think that this was an event that would have brought people together not just people in russia but around the world to mark this commemoration and it just shows you whats happening in 2020 it seems that weve had a whole list of events now because the olympics we lost the european football championships the last major sporting events and now weve lost this so i think its very sad yes. I think email hit the nail on the head there when you said that this is an event that really does bring people together which is most likely one of the reasons why put in didnt stress the fact in his announcement that may the 9th still needs to be a day when we are honoring the battery and when there will be some sort of commemoration what kind of amends do you think well see given that there is no possibility of the parade or the immortal regiment or i think 1st of all its very good that it hasnt been cancelled its been postponed so hopefully fingers cross will be able to have this if they play 2 more that he has to be out very full to be held but i think on that day. Whether we lock down or semi lockdown or whatever i think we all need to do something come out of our houses out of our flats pictures up hope because up we need to do something to mark that event to show that even though at the moment were in a pretty grim situation in russia globally as well in britain i think we need to do something together to kind of link up on that day to show that we are in this at the will of course the world were together on this and i think that would be a very nice way of doing it to show that even though we are. Really restrictive we cant have the you cant have the parade we can still do something which would commemorate it in the right way and then theres no doubt that something will happen on the day itself and as you mention president putin did stress the fact that its not cancel yet postponed that there will be some sort of parade later on in the year what do you think thats going to look like is it going to be scaled back or is it going to be even bigger. Well it all depends of course what what happens next in britain today at the time of just be can we just heard the news that weve got another 3 weeks of locked out which isnt what people want to hear the government said theres no theyre not going to give a date as to when they slow down will be lifted so it could go even beyond 3 weeks and of course even when these various lock downs and they do vary from country to country you have a slightly different one in russia to us here in britain when that happens we arent going to get it for a lot of quite successful considerable time i think a return to the kind of things we were doing before big gatherings i was at the problem speaking with horseracing festival in march and they were there 150000 people there over the over the 4 days Something Like that will be happening and so thats the issue about the great obviously we do have hundreds of thousands of people coming out for that and it may have to be done in a different format given for to what it would be done normally but i think we it does need to take place as long as its done safely and indeed i mean consideration of the be good probably measures which will still be in force probably for most of the year now even when we hit the lockdown finish were still going to have i believe to have some kind of social distancing you maintained for several months at least you see what were facing at this point in time is truly unprecedented coben 1000 has claimed 135000 lives but there have been numerous pent up banks over the course of history with far greater loss of life and yet we have never seen lobel action on this scale what makes this so different. Thats a very good question jacqueline and i think that i think whats happened is that it was the it was the potential that this thing could do i think it was the we the government in britain initially was following a policy people could herd immunity while that at the swedish model who what the swedish government to do was be to have sort of the most Vulnerable People in them to stay at home but the rest of life carrying on as normal as possible but when they got the report from the Imperial College of britain which said they could be 250000 deaths in britain alone then thats when they began to panic and look at so i think it was the fact this is a new thing and a novel thought it was a novel virus i think thats whats made governments. On the side of caution of how they become too cautious because here in britain we have a new debate now about people that death is came out for the 1st week in april and it was actually a record since we started collecting these data or the number of people who died in in the 1st week of april and about half of those would be put down to corona half of them would and theres a concern that the longer the lockdown goes on the greater the number of deaths from other reasons and people not going into hospital because theyre frightened of getting carona theyre not having their medical treatment done also this mentally shellfish use suicides at the most dramatic but peoples feeling down about being looked down health sophos so its not a 0 sum game this is the point is not a 0 sum game the longer the lockdown goes on the more i think were going to have other problems arising from it and theyll become a point where the number of deaths from the lock down may exceed the number of deaths from not having a lockdown and thats the call the governments got to make isnt it when to lift this. Hes doing it in a phased way that seems quite sensible i think in other words to say look this week were going to allow certain shops to the next week of the shops and then put pubs and restaurants further down the line that could be the best way to go i think but certainly there is a big price to pay if we do have a soviet looked out going on beyond more than say a month or 6 weeks. There are still a lot of questions at this point and we do seem to be seeing day after day more restrictions and more events counseled if we come back to the victory Day Celebrations donald trump was actually originally planning to attend this year on the parade in moscow but of course had to cancel to expect him to attend if that is moved to later on in the year is that a possibility even. But i think i think that its very hard to answer that now it will depends what happens at the u. S. Special us president ial elections having. This yahoo search i think a lot will depend on the next to the 4 to 6 weeks are we going to see a sustained all in all the number of deaths and use cases and if that is the case my own view is that if you look at the history of pandemics and respiratory Tract Infections viruses we do see you know all of them fall in cases and fatalities in the summer. The dimming date is great for the main system surveys that come out showing that we need to be getting a lot more that human day with the dimming the deficient of prolonged cold a long cloudy cold winter and obviously when the sun comes out we get more victim in day so theres a logical and then medical scientific reasons to hope and to be reasonable to mistake that the better the weather that were going to get and we are having here in britain already we have a heat wave i hope its the same moscow. 6 that will actually lead to a fall in cases in deaths and if that happens when theres a good reason to believe that will happen then i think it is possible that donald trump could actually by the end of the it come to moscow and we could by the end of the it be getting back to say 80 percent normal to what we were doing before the virus struck. Well of course it all depends on what the borders are looking at looking like at that point as well another in gotten part of the celebrations on may the 9th is the immortal regiment when thousands upon thousands of people come out on the streets and theyre carrying those pictures of their loved ones their relatives people they knew who of course perished or you know worked gave up their lives during the war that has also been postponed put in again gave hope that that would still be able to happen later on in the year and thats actually an event that has gone world why do you think if there is a day picks later in the year for the russian mortal regiment to take place that other countries will follow as well and it can happen there. That would be wonderful to see that would not be great because of that. To this because we know the 27000000 soviet citizens that many of the russians lost their lives in world war 2 and we remember them all they will be of course this is will be a very sad year for other reasons to the code it gets and so there will be people for whom this event would have been moving enough anyway at least incredibly to the event i watch it every year r. T. That it is astonishingly moving ive always wanted to go to moscow to take part in it myself to be honest obviously but it will be doing that this year next year who knows and i think that this year will add you know added paypals to that and remember not only the people who died in the war but also of the great country people but also those who set the cost away this year from one covert so i think that the i think its important very important one way or another to have this effect to have this march to have this event to commemorate the fall of the war we have to do it we simply have to do it and im sure that russia will be able to plan this and be able to do it in a in a safe way possible but it needs to be done and as i said im so encouraged that president putin has said look this is cancel we are going to do it this year he said hes perspire and i think its so important for the memory of those people who gave their lives in it in the war which was defeating with you know the soviet union plane actually critical if not the critical part in defeating the nazis so i think i think its so important that its going that it goes ahead. As we try to look beyond the pandemic which can often feel rather difficult at this point people are making various predictions over the long term change changes that will have to live with from the end of cheap air travel to a prolonged economic crisis bigger than the Great Depression possibly whats your view. I think that the longer we know the figures how many 1000000000 a day lost through each day of lockdown. The the impact of this the longer it goes on the greater the impact a lot of small and medium sized businesses will go to the wall there will be we know that the British Government has said that you said that there will be a price to pay there will be im afraid there will be. Intrusion i think i think its up to us the people to say look its wrong the governments should be to be more proactive in this they the governments should i think do all they can to make sure we dont hit what economists are predicting to be a far greater economic depression than what we had in the 1928192030 extension 37 straight question economists are saying will be worse than that and i dont think we can allow that i dont think we can allow that to happen because the consequences for people for their lives. For jobs is just too extreme i think i think we need to have. Planning and this is when countries of the world to come together i think quite extraordinary now that youve still got the u. S. Sanctioning iran we still got sanctions on russia this is a time to lift those sanctions and for peoples of the world or the world to come together now and urge that government stop these feuds and to to actually Work Together on a global plan to make sure we dont have a sort of 1929 style Great Depression coming in which would be catastrophic the people having survived 8 demick so i think thats thats thats the pressure we should be putting on a couple to say were not going to sit back and accept you coming on our t. V. Screens and saying sorry economies crashed we got 25 percent unemployment not much we can do about it you know we but its up to the people to make sure our representatives do the right thing. Weve been speaking with journalist and broadcaster neil clark thank you for your time and your comments. France has recorded its worst single day death toll from code in 19 when 1400 fatalities were announced on wednesday bringing the total to 17000 according to the Health Minister at the spike in the numbers is due to a delay in reporting after the 3 day easter weekend meanwhile the nationwide shutdown is taking a severe toll on the economy he reports.
