a german company quote large sums of money for exclusive access to any vaccine 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 rocker's the of takes a look no doubt 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
6:03 am
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 as i'm not pharmacists they're out of stock the situation is really a burden to my family and i could be infected at senator in effect american sanctions against iran has by liz stick missile program also includes things must send coronavirus test kits heck even an iranian app to help people identify the symptoms of a corona virus infection was banned by google because sanctions would take venezuela miserable playground for american foreign policy. this is
6:04 am
a time to demand the president on a trump lift 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. become for 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 bunkers they have the clinics they have everything in all cubans most
6:05 am
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 in essential it's basically tied hands and feet on the sacrificial altar of the corona virus pandemic and the eve god forbid trump does get exclusive rights to the vaccine you can bet your life savings it will come with strings attached or the pandemic is taking its toll on politicians too with
6:06 am
the sickness striking to many in the corridors 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 then you would have twice the . politicians are overrepresented in the number of people being diagnosed.
6:08 am
let's. let them. we spoke to the celebrated slovenian philosopher a slow voice digic about the pandemic he likened the crisis to up war time scenario and emphasized the need for meaningful international solidarity even in previous cases people were thinking just about isolation and so on and to date. we are becoming aware that we kept. in there unite that coordinate that weight we are all of the entire humanity. we seat in the same boat the loser i think will be but if sadly
6:09 am
a nationality. and there won't be in our country to isolate itself until of course we need to get an inch and odette well for example take europe we should you know unite that great shell being better week that there are mosques what they would eat what their bodies need and go on and so on i think that. in this sense we should be shaping riyad in that we do over military operation we should be i'm not here appealing to some kind of abstract sense of. keeping our interest in germany now. they may get an even stronger probably epidemic and kill them and kill one so it can't think i'm going to leave that he. 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 and
6:10 am
think it cannot grasp let me just go on galilee and it will be over baby. in the fall that i did it the day me get out i did it well articulated about what it was i think that even when the quote 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 oh mode if you like. while many countries are implementing aggressive measures to contain coronavirus the british government has been sharply criticized over its perceived lack of action particularly concern to many people has been the suggestion that authorities will attempt to control the rate at which 19 spreads now that's with a view to developing widespread immunity among the population in terms of building
6:11 am
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 has exceeded 1335 people ted now as a result a petition has been launched calling for schools to be closed across the come. 3 the government has also stated it plans to ban large events after delaying on that the session 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 about the government's highly risky approach to tackling the public. but it's probably true if you take your view but i don't really describe how you best protect vulnerable populations you really can't afford to be nobody needs to be put at risk for situations like this i can see the argument doing that but really i can also see the n.t. can say we're going to
6:12 am
a hospital people to get that virus if we make it and that we do science we've come down to die. a bit scared to justify this but we've got to carry on living. overseas i don't say to 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 data and evidence that we would need to know whether or not we do become immune to this virus possibly we use the right strategy possibly some wrong strategy we don't know but nobody seems to be giving us all the range of thinking so one year. yes got a lot of people debating it doesn't it well mike tilsley is an associate professor of infectious disease modeling out the university of florida also in the u.k. he explained the thinking behind the government's approach. immunity is that when enough people have been in fact he finds
6:13 am
a 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 in interventions that will delay the peak and be epidemic and also reduce the size reduce the height of the epidemic at the point that this. the number of people would be infected then he could no longer in fact that he will people because he sensually people had contacts and been infected and so reduced to a low enough level that the epidemic would die out is the risk to we know that the over seventy's and particularly the eighty's. because they may have underlying health conditions are more risk some opiates the 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 we keep necessary isolation and quarantine policies. and the
6:14 am
crucial thing here is to reduce the demands on the health service to make sure that those people that really do need hospital cat have access to it. that's britain in the u.s. meanwhile fears are growing up the authorities have been too slow to react to the spread of covert and i think as a result the question of health care dominated the 1st one on one debates of the democratic presidential contest with that story for you later. the greek island of lesbos is sliding deeper into crisis with the number of asylum seekers there swelling on the opposition towards them on the situation really the prospect of coronavirus tearing through the overcrowded morea camp is also causing tensions to flare something all that up for us from there for us. the greek island of lesbos has a 3 week conflict on its hands as europe's front line to the migrant crisis some
6:15 am
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 that are stopping cars that many n.g.o.s a bunch of that would stop in the vans or they would stuffing their rental cars and they would just much in them like beaten them throwing stones at them they can people beating people we can do in any. kind chasing also but india's so there's a big thing with the station now of 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 dock 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
6:16 am
a 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 and 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 back tonight yeah. so to me to tell you know we're not talking about 2 months or so that would be. more would be 2000 euro says not enough i come to 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 your right wing greeks we do not appreciate your picture a sick island turning into a giant migrant camp sucking more getting up assessment of every day these people
6:17 am
pass through our town without asking anyone they come and steal from us people here a 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 them and we have never clashed with them on the contrary they come in gangs and try to argue with those who are spokeswoman put it on the main goal was to protect the village the soaps and banks and need to living where do they want to pass through here and since the growth of the virus has been confirmed to mid to linny that's another reason to prevent them from entering here this additional struggle local speed very big price tourist season has become something of the past that businesses haven't 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 of them and only a 1000 of us. lesbo says the island that has been suffering the most
6:18 am
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 paradise that the sun shines all your around but down here on the ground it's clouded over fear uncertainty endanger eventual subsidies for lesbos greece where r.t. . let's leave the coronavirus for the club move on to another big story of the day an independent inquiry into child sex abuse in the u.k. has fallen that the internet is for a cell. taking a sharp rise in predatory behavior on the police are struggling to respond to the growing threat according to the report's findings 11 to 13 year olds are most risk it says as many as $450.00 suspected paedophiles are arrested every month and it
6:19 am
stresses that the scale of abuse is likely to be considerably higher than the official figures show the inquiry also notes that many internet companies are failing to provide adequate protection for youngsters using their services. because. you don't know where this image is really and out and that is an awful
6:20 am
thing to think in that paedophiles can just look in line and get we can i mean one . you know the media now is far more accessible i feel that well we are just now aware of it not that it's changed really. outraged. and i feel that we need really run the full changes to our whole criminal justice system we need a lot of police themselves not equipped. to deal with. the abuse issues. the reports saying the british government needs to work with tech companies to kuntar online abuse it also sais that new tools are required to prevent the posting of indecent images online as well as algorithms to
6:21 am
detect illegal content but also want schools to offer better guidance about how to stay safe online for the more legislation may be proposed which will 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. margaret oliver who we heard from a little earlier she expose the her handling of the rochdale child abuse ring in 2012 on this on the view that the government needs to be working more closely with tech companies hopeless and. even with the right training in the u.k. we must've. that to sit all police offices individual police offices are overwhelmed there are nazi north of the un it's down to the government invest in the criminal justice system we need to address this because we need more police
6:22 am
officers we need a real commitment to invest in dealing with this kind of crime but alongside that i have to say that the technical giants like google like microsoft. on this and they have billions of pounds and legislation should make them come to view the funding to instill that investment does the incentives to prevent the deferrals from destroying in children's lives because that is not what is happening on a daily basis 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 and much of the discussion between the front runner joe biden on the self-styled democratic socialist bernie sanders focused on the question of health care and whether the us system is well placed to handle the covert 19 crisis
6:23 am
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 claim the coronavirus thread illustrates the country's need for a universal health care system joe biden for the most part focused his fire literally but ministration accusing it of badly mishandling the pandemic the president quickly took to twitter to deliver his response to bill. 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 and the number of coronavirus cases has spiked dramatically in the u.s. with 3800 infections recorded in 49 states on saturday the house of representatives
6:24 am
passed an emergency bill to tackle the crisis and mitigate its economic impact the legislation which still has to be approved by the senate would make coronavirus testing free for all citizens suspected of having the in this at all support find 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 employees and explores the predicament currently faced by many american workers if their real. 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
6:25 am
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 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
6:26 am
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 it just being in new york we spoke to a lawyer there. believes the new bill does not go far enough and indeed that people need far more financial assistance right now. interesting i've been hearing not just he thinks we but people are really talking about other people who aren't free and work 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 if you think that everybody should have
6:27 am
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 assuming that something like universal healthcare and medicare for all have to have to be implemented right moral 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 more income are going to have a lot lot more problems. all right that is where we leave the news for now some more great programs though get their start here in moments and then nikki will be here to bring you the days where latest updates in just over 30.
6:28 am
