a german company quote large sums of money for exclusive access to any facts seen it develops berlin said however that any such deal is off the table the country's ministers are set to discuss the development in talks this monday rutger's the it takes a look now at the alleged efforts to cash in on the crisis in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king similarly in the land of the infected the man with the vaccine becomes a god the tubing in based company is researching a corona vaccine and the high pressure the government wants to secure the rights to it exclusively the german government is trying to prevent this there are only 2 reasons why anyone would want a monopoly on a vaccine the 1st is money it would take a truly miserable creature to try and profit from a cure that could save millions of lives would hate capitalism to control

over who gets vaccinated and if trump does get exclusive rights to a vaccine guess who'll be lost in the least for an injection. harsh economic sanctions imposed by the trumpet ministration have contributed to a shortage of test kits and medical supplies in the wrong school smocks and does affect ins i'm not pharmacists they're all out of stock the situation is really a burden my family and i could be inspected at a meter in effect american sanctions against iran is bliss stick missile program also include facemasks and corona virus test kits even an iranian app to help people identify the symptoms of a corona virus infection was banned by google because sanctions would take venezuela a miserable playground for american foreign policy. this is

a time to demand the president on and trump criminal sanctions against venezuela so that venezuela can go into the market to buy everything it needs on a medical level to face this situation if anyone ever tells you that the purpose of sanctions is to change a government space here you go ahead and laugh in their face long and loud mass sanctions have one purpose to make life miserable for the entire population to make the public hurt and suffer to make them do anything to make the pain stop including overthrow their government. patients in hospitals don't even have water now imagine with an epidemic like this that. the comfort is going to be left alone we have to be clear the plague has arrived here and the rules don't have any problems because they have the bankers they have the clinics they have everything even the cubans most of whom have never known life without us sanctions being urged to make their

own face masks so how do you get mosques when there is a lack of medical supplies they're easy we can make them at home from materials such as cotton cloth linen their washable and we can carry cereal depending on the hours that we will be in public places. the end result has been the near collapse of health care systems in numerous countries tens of millions of people limited in the health care in medicine inessentials basically tied hands and feet on the sacrificial altar of the corona virus pandemic and the if god forbid trump does get exclusive rights to the vaccine you can bet your life savings it will come with strings attached. well the situation is taking its toll on politicians with the sickness striking many in the car doors of power the growing number of

lawmakers falling ill is causing concern over how effectively governments will be able to coordinate their responses to the outbreak. there are far more politicians who have been infected than you would have by statistical chance politicians are overrepresented in the number of people who have been diagnosed.

today.

we spoke to the celebrated slovenian philosopher a slow voices shake up by the pandemic he likened the crisis to a wartime sonority ill and emphasized the need for meaningful international solidarity. eased in previous cases people were thinking just about isolation and so on and to date. we are becoming aware that we kept. in there night that coordinate that wait we are all of the entire humanity in we meet in the same boat the loser i think will be but he sadly a national leader an atheist and there won't be in our country to isolate itself until of course we need to get an inch and odette like for example to take europe

we should you know unite that great show being that we've got a great a street in mosques what they would eat what their bodies need it and go on and so on i think that in this sense we should be shaped riyad in the media over merely goudie operation we should be i'm not here appealing to some kind of abstract sense of. it keeping our interest it generally now that's. they may get an even stronger probably every day make and go on and to want so it shall think i'm going to leave that to the east sound think that. demand for a mosque but he decides if we think as a national it. will get better recruits step back and reflect what this our mole go through how should we change it because we should be aware of why i think it's not. let me just go on galilee and into the month it will be oh

baby. in the fall that i did it the day me get out of identical article about the one that was. given when i think we'll go but it doesn't know it we did not beat that same note of miley miley we leave you now we're going to change over mode of like. well while many countries are implementing aggressive measures to contain coronavirus the british government has been sharply criticized over its perceived lack of action of particular concern to many people has been the suggestion that authorities will attempt to control the rate at which covert $1000.00 spreads now that's with a view to the fella paying widespread immunity amongst the population in terms of building up a herd immunity within the u.k. what i mean what sort of percentage of people need to have contracted the virus

probably about 60 percent or so. in britain the number of cases hers exceeded 1300 with 35 people dead and as a result a petition has been launched calling for schools to be close the cross the country the government has also stated it plans to ban large events after delaying the decision additionally the u.k.'s health secretary has said that people aged over 70 could be isolated for up to 4 months we asked people in london what they think of the government's high risk approach to tackling the pandemic. and it's probably true to take you i don't really describe how we 1st take on i should look at what i already knew so we put at risk for situation like this i can see the argument doing that but really i can also see the n.t. can say we're going to you know a full set of people to get that virus if we make. we've come down to die.

which scared to justify this. because we are living. overseas i don't say that far this is a peek into about 10 weeks time so that's when i will get really concerned what we don't know yet is full range of detail and if you do we would need to know whether or not we do become immune to this virus and simply. use the right strategy or simply wrong strategy we don't know but nobody seems to be giving us all the range of people so here is some of the reaction in the british calculable mike tilsley is an associate professor of infectious disease modeling at the university of warwick in the u.k. he explained the thinking behind the government's strategy. community is that when enough people have been in fact to find the virus then. the epidemic will

eventually die out so essentially what we're still trying to do is we're trying to control the outbreak so we're trying to put an intervention that will to delay the peak of the epidemic and also reduce the height of the epidemic at the point to the certain number of people who would be infected then it could no longer in fact he will people because essentially people had contacts and been infected and so it reduced to a low enough level that the epidemic would die out is the risk to have we know that the over seventy's and particularly the eighty's. because they may have underlying health conditions are more risk some opiates that you want to protect those. those people in the population which is why these sorts of measures are being considered it's really important now that we keep these good hygiene practices that have been recommended to keep necessary isolation in quarantine policy. and the

crucial thing here is to reduce the demands on the health service to make sure that those people that really do need people have access to it. who are in the u.s. fears are growing up the authorities helping to slow to react to the spread of covert like as a result the question of health care dominated the 1st one on one debate so the democratic presidential contest with that story a little later in. the greek island of less bosses sliding deeper into crisis with the number of asylum seekers there swelling opposition towards them growing the prospect of coronavirus tearing through the overcrowded moriah is also causing tensions to flare evangel sepsis reports. the greek island of less full size a 3 week conflict on its hands as europe's front line to the migrant crisis some

locals are taking more of a stance against the swelling numbers of refugees held up on the island and the ngos have been drawn into battle 2 reviews before people but not small couple of 100 they start blocking the streets are stopping cars that many in just a bunch so that was the defense for that which stuffing their rental cars and there was just much in them between them from the net then they can be put out between people we can go in and this kind of chasing also a bunch of b.s. so there's a big thing with the station people that work and you know this is because they they. want to bust the message that n.g.o.s profit from human suffering finally we got the commission to talk in this part in a t.v. need we think it's a very good sign from the authorities that they made it possible to sign also to say that it's not just the group of patients that are going to take over. how

things work on this island the migrants remain in overcrowded facilities with lack of hygiene it's frankly living in terrible conditions in a desperate move to try to pursue some of them to go back home the e.u. is offering 2000 euros as bait but some of them have traveled so far is that money really enough to make them go back if i go about tonight yeah. so to me to tell you know we're not talking about 2 months so that would be. almost $42000.00 euro says not to not come and love my country for money i love because it wasn't safe there now if you protect it's. the 3rd front is the one created by a right wing groups we do not appreciate your picture a sick island turning into a giant migrant camp. something more getting up us a bit of every day these people pass through our town without asking anyone they come and steal from us people here are fed up that's why we decided to make these

barricades we gather here as often as we can to prevent the refugees from entering the town and force them to take another route we have never been aggressive towards and we have never clash with them on the contrary they come in gangs and try to argue with or spokeswoman for the main goal was to protect our village the soaps and banks. where do they want to pass through here and since the growth of virus has been confirmed to me to a name that's another reason to prevent them from entering here this additional struggle crossing local speed very big price tourist season has become something of the past that businesses have even been forced to put them shutters for good and there is very much in our life here is horrible we were happier in the past they robbed us destroying our properties they even break into our houses most of the shops are closed and the refugees are the reason there are $25000.00 of them and only a 1000 of us. it. is the island that has been suffering the most the

morea camp is overcrowded with refugees i believe we all have to sit down and find a solution because we can't live like this anymore our town can't survive like this we are fed up. this island might be a tiny greek period is that the sun shines all your around but down here on the ground it's clouded over fear uncertainty and mental subsidies from lesbos greece where r t. let's move on to more world news though an independent inquiry into child sex abuse in the u.k. has fallen off the internet is facilitating a sharp rise in predatory behavior and the police are struggling to respond to the growing threat according to the report's findings 11 to 13 year olds are most at risk it says as many as $450.00 suspected paedophile. rest of each month and it stresses that the scale of abuse is likely to be considerably higher than me official figures show the inquiry also notes that many internet companies are

failing to provide adequate protection for youngsters using their services. you don't know where this images will end up and that is an awful thing to think in the future frost can just look online and get it would get everyone scared.

you know the media now is far more accessible i feel that while we are just now aware of it not that it's changed really. outraged. i feel that we need really run the full changes to our whole criminal justice system we need a law that the police themselves not equipped. to deal with that there is. abuse issues. the report say's the british government needs to work with tech companies to kuntar online abuse it also says that new tools are needed to prevent the posting of indecent images online as well as algorithms to detect illegal content it also want schools to offer better guidance about how it is safe online furthermore

legislation may be proposed which would enable law enforcement to tackle the problem more effectively. we can't arrest our way out of the problem we have to look at a far more holistic approach we are at saturation point. will margaret all over again who expose the perp humbling of the rochdale child abuse ring in 2012 agrees that the government needs to be working closer with tech companies. even with the right training in the u.k. we've got a massive. deficit of police officers individual police are overwhelmed there are nazi north of the and it's down to the government invest in the criminal justice system we need to address this because we need more police officers we need a real commitment to invest in dealing with this kind of crime but alongside.

the giant loud loud microsoft. m s a they have. legislation should make them come to the funding too and she will that investment does the incentives to prevent the deferrals from destroying in children's lives because that is not what is happening on a day this is. the 1st one on one debate in the race for the us democratic party's presidential nomination was held in washington d.c. on sunday night much of the discussion between the frontrunner joe biden and the self styled democratic socialist bernie sanders focused on the question of health care and whether the u.s. system is well placed to handle the covert 90 crisis with all due respect to medicare for all you have a single payer system in italy it doesn't work there we've got thousands of private

insurance plans that is not a system that is prepared to provide health care to all people senator sanders claimed the coronavirus threat illustrates the country's need for a universal health care system joe biden for the most part focused his fire on the trumpet ministration accusing him of badly mishandled the pandemic the president quickly took to twitter to deliver his response. i must say there was a very boring debate biden lied when he said i want to counsel shal security and medicare that's what the all said 4 years ago and nothing happened in fact i see social security and medicare i will not be counting but they will be careful low number of coronavirus cases has spiked dramatically in the us with 3800 infections recorded in 49 states on saturday the house of representatives passed the emergency bill to tackle the crisis and mitigate its economic impact the legislation which

still has to be approved by the way by the senate would. testing free for all citizens suspected of having the illness it also provides 2 weeks of paid sick leave as well as up to 3 months of family or medical leave the measure however only applies to businesses with fewer than $500.00 employees caleb maupin explores the predicament currently faced by many american workers if they fall ill. authorities here in the united states are emphasizing the importance of self isolation as coronavirus cases continue to rise however one problem facing american citizens is a lack of sick leave legislation only 12 of the 50 us states actually mandate that employers give paid sick leave other states have various regulations now amid the crisis some corporations have adjusted their policies for their own employees only of course and in addition to that many americans are just facing the choice of risk health or lose money think about the restaurant workers the people who prepare our

food think about what you do if your child's school closes down for a week for so many people taking a sick day means going without pay and even in some cases potentially losing your job but not everyone agrees this is unreasonable employees are struggling our employers are struggling and it's not a cure for covert $19.00 to put a big new expensive federal mandate on employers who are struggling in the middle of this matter u.s. politicians are now rushing to change laws but some see this not as a public health necessity but as the unrolling of a far left agenda unfortunately it appears at this hour that the speaker and house democrats in chose to produce an idiot logical wishlist that was not covert closely . now the democrats are quick to present themselves as the good guys in this scenario but they haven't always been on the same page for years bernie sanders has pushed for paid sick leave and other benefits for workers and been castigated as

a socialist only under the current circumstances have democrats fully jumped on board the debate about paid sick leave goes on but the clock is ticking the longer the debate goes on the more people will be affected. r.t. new york or we spoke to new york based lawyer she believes the new bill does not go far enough people need far more financial. still. interesting and i've been hearing not just he thinks we but people are really talking about other things aren't free and works for a moment dictions and also something called universal basic income so i think what i see is that people are looking not just for me really but for real transformative change because i think with this and then a can see that everybody should have fruits and think everybody should have free health care health care should be human rights. and you know there is a plan to pay for it and it's something that i think now we're all seeing that

something like universal health care and medicare for all have to have to be implemented right morrow you know you'll see that people who do have money and are wealthy will be able to kind of weather the storm i can people that are no income are going to have a lot a lot more problems. ok a reminder for all to the minutes news and views this monday artie's twitter page has you covered well some of your scrolling time today so yes. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promises ok politics to the people i promise you know we it's all pots. basically. pretty
