Summer. Its. There thanks for your company this friday afternoon in moscow live from the new center is kevin owen here for the next 30 minutes for the latest round up again to start with the latest covert 19 figures im sad to say 2 are heading towards another somewhat milestone the number of infections globally is now close to 4000000 in terms of fatalities more than 271000 people are known to have died so far many are also recovering of course from the illness that figure is currently at over 1300000. 00 recovered. Here russias Health Ministry says more than 1200 coronavirus patients are currently on ventilation nationwide the country currently ranks 5th in the world in terms of infections at over 187000 the daily rates been rising rapidly to Health Officials though say there are enough beds and there are enough ventilators course putting people on ventilators is a last resort measure for doctors it means its become all but impossible for the patient to breathe unaided leaving many gravely ill in some countries up to 80 percent of patients needing ventilation do not survive here in russia that figure is 50 percent meaning one in every to lose their lives and then when someone does recover enough to come off ventilation it can be an emotional time for those hospital staff and given such great care. All those apply such sometimes we the doctors started to cry when the managed to get a piece you know flung into lation the emotions are impossible to convey sometimes you have tears on your of these masks we dont hide or tears and emotions i believe there is Nothing Better than this feeling coming off until ation treatments only part of the long journey back to good health some patients need rehabilitation for breathing swallowing even walking one survivor told us about his recovery and what its like to have a machine in control of your breathing. I was put on a ventilator in the 3rd hospital in a row i was admitted to being in intensive care already after a prolonged fever the doctors found out that my lung capacity was not enough to continue effective treatment waking up on a ventilator was a very unusual feeling as if i had been underwater i had a lot of tube sticking out of my mouth the machine was breathing for me i communicated with the medics by gestures and hand written messages on a sheet of paper it was rather inconvenient for me given that i had lost a lot of energy and even writing down simple sentences was at 1st very hard and unfamiliar but as time passed i got used to it the doctor started to understand me i gradually got used to the tubes the machine and the need to lie on my stomach almost all the time to help the ventilator work with my lungs while on the ventilator i often imagine myself being the hero of black sabbaths iron man song that character has turned into an iron idol due to time travel and he couldnt talk to anyone and warn of a coming disaster that he had to survive in the future when i was taken off the ventilator after coughing and spitting some i cited a line from that song vengeance from the grave but since no one understood me i just asked them to bring me breakfast everybody was glad to hear that i was feeling better right after they took me off i had a few seconds to catch my breath and start breathing independently it seemed to me as if it had been an eternity i felt a massive surge of energy and i was glad i managed to overcome it from that moment i realized i could be happy about Little Things like the ability to breathe by myself every morning the recovery was rather hard for me but step by step i overcame the difficulties day by day i started to win back my normal life and im still doing it because the treatment isnt over yet i dont want anyone to experience what ive gone through all these months i spent in hospital on a ventilator were no joke i hope that nobody watching this will end up that way. And that they behave responsibly. Or europes leaders struggle to forge a joint response to the pandemic the German Foreign minister is highlighting another unresolved crisis i commerce is angry at the sluggish pace of the e. U. s migrant policy which he describes as inadequate this horrible thing is that we have been dealing with this problem in europe for a long time i think its the greatest sign of inefficiency for the e. U. Now with the corona crisis its even more obvious meanwhile and migrant protest has caused havoc in northern greece on wednesday vandalizing 2 hotels after discovering that theyd reportedly host over 50 migrants each police later confirmed indeed that around a 150. 00 people it also attended to prevent buses transporting the migrants from reaching their new accommodation heres what some of the locals told us. So the incidents that happened are condemned by our whole community and we believe that this wasnt. As it is the enemy emigrate now there are already 100 migrants in the space of 2 kilometers i believe that people here can take in more migrants there are people who dont have work and they were under the streets in my opinion theyre not as dangerous as they are correct or right but theyre people that have no connection to panetta greece is currently trying to take the pressure off its overcrowded island refugee camps driven partly by the need to try to prevent corona virus from spreading the authorities have been transferring hundreds of refugees to facilities on the mainland greek political analyst petrus told us its triggering friction of one with locals though.

S. Has registered more than 1200000 infections and 75000 deaths a 3rd of those in new york state locals there talk to us through a gruesome new reality. Makes me just aware of the. Stream nature of time that were living in the fact that you have to temper in this. Process bodies are. Pretty pretty awful i try not to think about the ramifications of opening up the country but when i see Something Like this it reminds me that if we had the proper leadership would we do things in a more organized manner and a safer manner so what it reminds me. The fact theyre not doing anything in an organized way. Because theyre. The race to find a vaccine is something of a game of cat and mouse right now mysterious symptoms have been found in children who tested positive for the corona virus leaving doctors scrambling them for answers as to the cause or to americas truth he chose his next. Today an urgent new warning about kids and kovan 19 dozens of children falling ill across the country from a rare illness officials are calling pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome new York State Department of health confirming at least 64 suspected cases in the state most of the children testing positive for corona virus or virus antibodies sparking new concern the 2 illnesses may be linked that uncertainty.

T. Confronting the common enemy of coronavirus has done nothing to dampen u. S. Leaders animosity towards china with ongoing terror threats and plans to punish the economy if anything that breaks making it worse this column open explains. The pandemic is changing lots of things but it seems that some things like the ongoing us china confrontation are eternal you may have noticed that trump tweeted in praise of beijing from time to time and was looking to make deals but now it seems the trade war is escalating to higher levels than ever coronaviruses the fuel thrown onto the fire washington is using china as their primary scapegoat to sway the worst attack weve ever had this is worse than pearl harbor this is worse than the World Trade Center as evident that like this. And it should have never happened could have been stopped at the source could have been stopped and showed it should have been stopped right at the source. And it wasnt china has responded urging washington to focus on the real danger will choice unless the easing can be they might say the pandemic is comparable to pearl harbor or 911. 00 the enemy facing us is a Novel Coronavirus we urged us to stop shipping lanes to china in turn 2 facts we now hear top u. S. Officials blaming china for spreading dissin from asian about the virus which they claim has chinese origin then china responds and blames the United States are not participating in global efforts and furthermore lying in the hopes of discrediting China European Union tries not to take sides but its see you think about the constant back and forth i do nothing it is the time for blame games or meet her approach this is the breath rate where someone hearing in the United States calling the virus chinese or the one by iris i dont think it is the moment to reproach anybody but instead to join forces against a problem that is everyones if we dont solve it everywhere we wont solve it anywhere trump seems up for a confrontation with us china relations at a 50 year low trump seems to be amping up economic pressure and the trade war is also applying pressure on the social. Nickel and educational fronts theyre calling this the new bipolarity United States facing off against china the way it once did against the soviet union but do u. S. Leaders really understand what would be at stake in a new cold war the us economy is quite well tied in with their new arch nemesis each time the confrontation escalates the stock market suffers a full scale trade war threatens the asian markets and the european economies are already on the brink of recession however when dont trump threatened more tariffs on monday they plummet china is set to recover pretty quickly according to most forecasters and donald trump seems ready to play hardball against them even if it threatens the entire Global Economy i guess the question is will the world forgive him for this and will the United States be the one thats isolated. Artsy new york. As well as a fresh twist in another trigger topic for u. S. Politics russia gate remember that before all this coronavirus thing well the Justice Department knows dropped criminal charges against Donald Trumps former National Security adviser over lying to the f. B. I. About his contact with a veteran Russian Ambassador the so theres developments to tell you about the break in the details a bit later in this political. But before we talk about this for many countries around the world today may the 8th marks 75 years since victory over the nazis in the 2nd world war the residential building for Russias Permanent Mission to the u. N. Is joined in therefore for the next few nights diplomatic stuff is set to be lighting up the windows there the former giant number 75 to mark the milestone anniversary oscar nominated german film director Verne Hertzog has been reflecting on where humanity stands these days decades after defeating fascism the full interview is here instead play with sophie and co after this update. Of course its. But we live as an echo of fellow past everyone in my generation old napiers we knew there was something not right in there will not be and we took a look at what it wanted him into and it is obviously it bait it was clear to us fascism is something that is not going to have as long as we lived if we have Something Like fascists take the lead in the holocaust coming out i mean take arms i will defend them or to try to defend you see to a very clearly today. It is not so much when history factually happening its a lonesome narrative and we have to be very very careful in what should have been looking at the media what other media doing it says im soldier for almost collective brainwashing going on and im not i find it. Very alarming and alarming mistake of the west the demonization of russia you see it in the media its not its not so much with people when you look at pin polls in germany they laugh the russians idea is no truong that russia belongs belongs to the 2 when i say us i mean europe culturally belongs to us the poetry belongs to us its its oxygen and. It is the that the christian. Common or accident in history. Because the times are different victory day here in russia is not tomorrow night the night that major. But of course not all of the change last minute we will though have some special live coverage for you tomorrow nonetheless. If we hear Something Like. The holocaust coming up well take our. Trade to defeat. Really loose. This is sticking. This is st see me. Again now remember those days before the pandemic there was another threat supposedly threatening to undermine the United States were talking russia gate and theres an update for you today the u. S. Justice department has dropped criminal charges against Donald Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn he did mit is lying to the f. B. I. About his interactions with a russian diplomat during the president ial transition but the Justice Department now says there are no reasonable grounds for further prosecution the deal g. s not persuaded that the jury 24th 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe mr flynt statements were material even if untrue moreover we do not believe that the government can prove either the relevant false statements or their materiality beyond a reasonable doubt Michael Flynn served as National Security advisor in 2017 he was questioned by the f. B. I. On his contacts with the then Russian Ambassador over the possible lifting of sanctions flip was fired amid accusations that he lied to agents about the conversation eventually led to him pleading guilty indeed on one count of misleading the f. B. I. A little trouble says now he expects consequences for those who went after flynn. He is a great gentleman he was targeted by the Obama Administration and he was targeted in order to trying to take down a president and what theyve done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid and course now the charges are dropped and somewhat cause doubt on the initial accusations since flynn was the main catalyst for launching the whole russia gate process in the 1st place lets have a quick reminder of how the claim sent the us media into 5th gear Michael Flynn is a liar why did the f. B. I. Witness tampering now it is possibly treason but mike flynn is what people thought about when theyre thinking when hes talking people might have gone along a bad day on how many trips did Michael Flynn take his place Anthony Bourdain of treason i think this is a profound sort of developments and there is all these started to remember here that u. S. Government had secured the plea from general flynn it and the judge additionally did not let him withdraw as guilty plea and now we have just over the u. S. Attorney and i think 6 louis reviewing the oil and saying there never was a basis to investigate a crime here i think it is going to prove to be the biggest scandal in American History and thats saying a lot far bigger than watergate this is a major scandal and were just beginning to see the contours of what we will learn a lot more in coming days i think. Over a 1000000 people heading back to work in south africa as the country begins relaxing its covert 19 restrictions statisticians had earlier warned though the president of the catastrophic consequences all of prolonged closures. Our latest estimate is that south africas lockdown will cause a loss of life at least 29. 00 times greater than the loss of life it stands to prevent it would be no exaggeration to say that each week of continuing lockdown will in the long run result in more loss of life than the virus itself. Well so far south africas seen a rather low pandemic death rates compared with other countries its less than 200. 00 the overall number of cases amounts to more than 8000. 00 the easing of the lockdown of deciding what is and isnt acceptable as lead these south african surfers to protest earlier this week some Outdoor Activities like jogging and cycling are being allowed but surfing is still pretty. The oceans are safe place you know its on their hips are saying mentally and physically and to take that away from us it sucks if we could go surfing thered be less people walking together and wed spread the load out i dont think going surfing will increase your risk any more than walking on the beach or walking on the road theyve been try as best they can to contain more coronavirus and population much hotter than live under the poverty line so the issue at hand for them how can they actually feel part of the loop when we fight you based around market life when they need to be buying or are to make it very hard for the average person to actually you know live their life and eat well theyre not the only stopping people from day to day excursions to get there and that look now if i continue my you can lead to rest and violence because people rebel against the actual government itself im a bit left it to some n. G. O. S and one to be with corporations to give driven jobs rives and nearly and you know small flute for family this is not enough therefore they need to find a balance between containing through an apartment and providing the actual. Ok finally if an hour brace brace brace 2020 its all been written off isnt it for a lot of people weve had our lives up ended by coronavirus even a much needed some all a day now is increasingly looking highly unlikely the french president chipped in and told people they probably wont be able to travel abroad or even around europe penskes been wondering if well ever be able to get away any time soon. No. You know theres really nothing quite like a Summer Holiday colorful cocktails to her and good books to read and of course. It doesnt get much better than that except this year we may be staying put. We are going to limit Major International travel even during the Summer Holidays. Ok well thats not so bad europe has pretty much everything youd want from beaches and mountains to historical cities and of course there are plenty of countries to choose from. So every hotel on what you mean were not going to be travelling much in europe either. You dont study among europeans depending on how the epidemic evolved we may have to introduce even more limits right so well as you know france is also a great destination a huge country with so much to explore. Critic at the moment we can go further than a 100 kilometers ok paris it is. Festivals concerts and sporting events have all been canceled until at least the end of july while the opening dates for launch museums. Restaurants etc still on ice meaning there may be little else to do but to admire the citys poorest architecture and perhaps a picnic outside by the river but of course i just socially. Responsible distance dont forget if you were thinking that that would be enough to make paris a visit you may hit another brick wall if youre travelling from outside the e. U. Open border areas that. All the u. K. And there are quarantine measures in place 14 days in fact meaning youd be spending your 2 week break. And staring at 4 walls so for this summer with love from paris i wish you were here but dont show us to ski arty paris. There will be brought a days muddle through this together day by day thats the way things are looking so far this friday the 8th of may for moscow our teams around the world continue to work around the clock to keep you posted on t. V. Online and on social media im kevin i have a saying thank you for watching this program to stay safe and well and have a great weekend. So many 5 years ago the scourge of fascism was defeated in europe the soviet union and its western allies were victorious what is the meaning of that victory today what explains reason birds to rewrite history is what it counts for the efforts to diminish the sacrifice made by the people of the soviet union. Time after time to repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important. Transitions to sustainable prize board sustainability spain over man not a more equitable and sustainable world. They claim their production is completely harmless. In the big. Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this doesnt want any minute. We didnt dont even. Understand the superman and. Told him to do so because this year is we should be shaping up to 75 years ago and the doctors visits of Human History has ended how has the humanity changed how has to psychology changed after the end of world war 2 to consider it isnt much more im joined by legendary film director screenwriter producer.
