disease to sweep through the population to create herd immunity well for people in london how they feel about an idea. but what do you say we put out for us to say we don't. believe that all people need to go about artists which it would make. an independent inquiry into child sex abuse in the u.k. finds that the internet is facilitating a sharp rise in predatory behavior with police struggling to respond to the growing threats of. a very well continue watching r t international with me making our top story this hour with scientists around the world raise thing to find ways of combat same covert 19 reports of claims that the trumpet ministration offered a german company quote large sums of money for eg. exclusive access to any vaccine

it develops burnin has said however that any such deal is off the table the country's ministers are set to discuss the development in talks this monday morning cathy have 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 years 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 as. pharmacists they're 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 has by liz stick missile program also include face masks and coronavirus 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 miserable playground for american foreign policy. this is a time to demand the president on a 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 will be telling of the 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 bunkers they have the clinics they have everything in all 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 in essential it's basically tied hands and feet on the sacrificial altar of the coronavirus pandemic and if god forbid trump does get exclusive rights to the vaccine you can bet your life savings it will come with strings attached the situation has taken its toll on politicians too with the sickness striking down many in the corridors of power the growing number of lawmakers falling ellis 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 twice the chance politicians are overrepresented in the number of people being diagnosed. i. i i. i.

we spoke to the celebrated slovenian for loss of us level as jessica about the pandemic a likens the crisis to a war times the naleo and emphasize the need for meaningful international solidarity. if in previous cases people were thinking just about isolation and so on until one day i sure hope we are becoming aware that we kept cool in the unite that coordinate that way we are all the entire humanity in we stayed in the same boat the big loser i think will be but if sally nationality racist and so won't within our country took isolate itself until of course we need to get an inch and odette well for example take europe we should act in a unite that racial pinky tried to recreate great their street in mosques what they believe whatever is needed and go on and so on i think that. in this sense we

should be straight riyadh in the middle of that military operation we should be i'm not here appealing to some kind of abstract sense of. it keeping our interest it germany now. they will get an even stronger probably epidemic and kill him and to want so it shall think obviously that it is something that is demand from us but he decides if we think as a national. gap that we step back and reflect what this our mobile go through life how should we change it because we should be aware of why i don't think it's not let me just go on galilee and into the month it will be over baby in this epidemic. in the fall that are that if the day they get out of identical article about what it was i think that even when i think we'll

go but it doesn't. it would not be the same normally. because we leap now we're going to change oh mode of life. on many countries are implementing aggressive measures to contain coronavirus the british government has been sharply criticized i've read perceived lack of action a particular concern to many people has been a suggestion that all star teams want to tend to control the rate at which covered $1000.00 spreads with a few to developing wind speed and the unity among the population. in terms of building up a unity within the me what sort of percentage of people need to have contracts of the virus probably about 60 percent in britain the number of cases has exceeded 1300 with 35 people dead as a result a petition has been launched calling for schools to be closed across the country

the government has also stated it plans to ban large events after delaying on the decision additionally the u.k.'s health secretary has said that people aged over 70 could be isolated for up to 4 months well to people in london what they think about the government's high risk approach to tackling the pandemic. that's probably true if you take your view but i don't really describes how we 1st protect vulnerable populations they really can't afford to be nobody knew so we put at risk for a situation like this i can see the argument doing that but equally i can also see the intakes say we're going to you know a host of people to get that virus to you and to speak with make that which sounds we've come down to die. which is defy this but we've got to we are living. overseas i don't say to far this is a peak until about 10 weeks towing so that's when i will get really concerned because 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 a strong scientific thank you don't know but nobody seems to be giving us all the range of maybe one year mike told us lee as an associate professor of infectious disease lot of us to say he explains the thinking behind the government's approach by the herd immunity is that when enough people have been in fact following 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 interventions that will delay the peak of the epidemic and also reduce the size reduce the height of the epidemic at the point to the certain number of people would be infected then they could no longer in fact any more

people because he sensually people had contacts and been infected and so in reduced to a low enough level and that the that the epidemic would die out is a 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. risk some obviously 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 up these good hygiene practices that have been recommended we keep necessary isolation and quarantine policies. and the crucial thing here is to reduce the demands on the health service to make sure that those people that really do need hospital have access to it. meanwhile in the u.s. fears are growing that they are thora t's have been too slow to react to the spread of covert 19 as a result the question of health care dominated the 1st one on one debate of the

democratic presidential contest we'll have that story later in the program. the greek island of less boston sliding deeper into crisis with the number of asylum seekers there swelling and opposition towards them growing the prospect of coronavirus tearing through the overcrowded morea camp is also causing tensions to flare evangelos tips us reports. the greek island of less schools has 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 stopped blocking the streets because stopping cars that many n.g.o.s a bunch of that was stuck in the vans or they were stuffing their rental cars and there was just much in them between them throwing stones at them they can be put

out between people we can do nothing. chasing. india's so they said a big thing with the station amount of people that works 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 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 to night yeah. so to me

$2.00 euro would not take me back to 90 so that would be. almost $42000.00 euro says not to not 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 a right wing groups we do not appreciate your picture a sick island turning into a giant migrant camp. so you more getting up with us about that 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 them and we have never clash with them on the contrary they come in gangs and try to argue with those police put on it but the numbers are main goal is to protect the village the sub some banks. where do they want to pass through here and since the growth of virus has been confirmed to me 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 have even been forced to keep 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. it. says 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 r.l. but down here on the ground it's clouded over fear under certain. mental sets us

from lesbos greece where r.t. . independent inquiry into child sex abuse in the u.k. has found that the internet is facilitating a 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 he says as many as $450.00 suspected pedophiles are arrested each month and i stress is 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.

you don't know where this image is ruined out and that is an awful thing to think of that paedophiles can just look online and get whatever they want to scare. you know the media now is far more accessible i feel that what we are just now aware of that not that it's changed the protocol outraged that. i feel that we need really radical changes to our whole criminal justice system we need a law that the police themselves not equipped 1st of all to deal with the.

methods that abuses use the report says the british government needs to work with tech companies to counter online abuse it also says that new tolls are needed to prevent the posting of indecent images online as well as algorithms to detect it in legal consent and also one school so alphabet a guidance about how to stay safe online for the more legislation maybe for post which would enable lauren foresman 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 when margaret oliver who exposed the poor handling of the rochdale child abuse that ring in 2012 agrees that the government needs to be working more closely with tech companies. even with the right training in the u.k. we've got a massive. deficit of police officers individual police officers are

overwhelmed there are nazi north of the and it's down to the government. in the criminal justice system we need to address this course we need more police officers we need a real commitment to him in dealing with this kind of crime but alongside. the giants like. microsoft. imus that they have the. legislation should make them. going to and she will that investment does go into the group then he files destroy 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

a front runner joe biden on 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 kovac 19 crisis. with all due respect to medicare for all you have a single payer system in italy it doesn't work here 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 on to focus his fire on the trumpet ministration accusing it of badly hand mishandling 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 cutting but they will be careful the

number of coronavirus cases has spiked dramatically in the us with 3800 infections recorded in 49 states on saturday the house of representatives passed an emergency bill to tackle the crisis and mitigate his economic impact the legislation which still has to be approved by the senate would make coronavirus testing free for all citizens aspect 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 employees more pain explores the predicament currently faced by many american workers if that. 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 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 we spoke to new york based lawyer and she believes the new bill doesn't go far enough and that people need far more financial assistance. interesting in that i've been hearing not just simply but people are really talking about. fictions and also something called universal basic income so i think what i see is that people are looking not just for me but for real transformative change because

the thing with this and that everybody should have roots has the everybody should have true help their health care if you be a human rights. and you know there is a plan to me or it's and it's something that i think now we're all seeing that something one universe will help here in medicare. has to be implemented right moral you know you'll see that people who do have money and are wealthy will be mediocre to grant or whether this or i can go that are more income are going to help a lot lot you know a lot more problems. but if you have something you'd like fans out any of our stories then do get in touch by following guys on social media we're back in the top of the hour with the latest headlines we'll see you then. thank. you.

join me every thursday i'll be all excitement and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the public's business and show business i'll see you then. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle the world is struggling in different ways to cope with the coby di 900 pandemic and governments are taking the heat for their actions and inactions well the coronavirus be a referendum on globalisation. cross

talking some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow dmitri bobbitt he's a political analyst and editor in a semi internet media project and in london we cross to marcus papadopoulos he is editor of politics 1st magazine or a german cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was a preacher let me go to marcus 1st in london as this pandemic continues and there is no end in sight different countries are experiencing different levels of this pandemic and there's been pointed out by the media and by people around the world what actions work and what don't work but there's a much broader discussion that needs to be taken in that it's the nature of globalization and how globalization has allowed a pandemic like this to spread become a pandemic itself here and when i say globalization i'm talking about the nature of trade borders the very nature of the nation state and even talking about sovereignty again which is for bowden on both sides of the spectrum but it's

something that has to be talked about because at the end of the day the nation state is required to take care of its own citizens your reflection there go ahead marcus. indeed one of the consequences. has shined a lot it's all of the dangers. both globalization and that is something of course it's a western media principly american major and british major is not going to discuss this because globalization is a very dissonant and at the same time the coronavirus as demonstrates it the importance of borders of security all nation states and incidentally in britain and america the worst. along with the worst coach are and religion are regarded as dirty words which is not just idiocy but it is absolutely laughable now will the coronavirus results in the downfall

of globalization in the downfall of the new world order which is being in existence since the end of the soviet union and the soviet communism i believe not why firstly because a shim in because there is an assumption that the ordinary man or woman in the west principally britain and america has made the connection between the emergence olf and the spread of the coronavirus and globalization and in the in the case of the european union without without borders so that is a dangerous assumption the 2nd reason why i do not believe it will result in the ends of globalization is that there is no alternative to globalization ever since the end of soviet communism capitalism has a math test itself that has evolved in itself today zouk.
