the thought was that it was. as the number of coronavirus a tie to his ship stop in a wrong the country's leadership claims the crisis has been exacerbated by u.s. sanctions. with infection rates increasing dramatically in other countries 2 politicians are also being hit hard with the outbreak forcing ministers into quarantine the renowned floridian for loss the 1st how he sees the crisis affecting everyday life. not be the same. critics accuse the u.k.

government of pursuing a high risk strategy for battling covert 19 after officials suggested allowing the disease to sweep through the population to create herd immunity we asked people in london how they feel about the idea. of when you should be put at risk to stay with her and you will still be able to go that far as you wish it were. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me that you are in our top story their situation is taking its toll on politicians too with the sickness striking down many in the corridors of power now 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 politicians who have been infected that you would have by statistical chance politicians are overrepresented in the number of people being diagnosed.

we spoke to celebrate its live any and philosophy about the pandemic he likens the crisis to a wartime scenario and emphasized the need for meaningful international solidarity . in previous cases people were thinking just about isolation and so on until

one day i sure hope we are becoming aware that we can't go in there 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 he sally and nationality racist and so want within our country to isolate itself until of course we need to get an inch and like for example take europe we should unite that to a shell pink tribe or we could rate their sweet mosques what they would eat whatever is needed and go on and so on i think that. in this sense we should be straight re out in the middle of the military operation we should be i'm not here appealing to some kind of abstract sense of solidarity even in our in it germany

now. they will get an even stronger probably epidemic and go on and to want so it shall think obviously that it is something that demanded from us but he decides if we think as a national it. will get better recruits step back and reflect what this our mo go through life cultured retrain treat 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 and then be. in the fall that are that if the day they get out of identical article about what it was i think that even when things go well but it doesn't normally it would not be the same normally. because we leave now we will have to change over mode of life. where scientists

around the world racing to find ways of combating covert 19 reports of claim that the trumpet ministration offered a german company quote large sums of money for exclusive access to any vaccine it develops but man has said however that any such tale is off the table the countries ministers are set to discuss the development in talks this monday when i got 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 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 infected. in effect american sanctions against iran says by listing 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 and miserable playground for american foreign policy. this is a time to demand that president donald 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 reaches us the comfort is going to be left alone we have to be quick in 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 couldn't bet your life savings it will come with strings attached while many countries are implementing aggressive

measures to contain the 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 19 spreads with a view to developing widespread immunity among the population in terms of building up or unity within the of what sort of percentage of people need to have contracted the virus probably about 60 percent. in britain the number of cases has exceeded 1335 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 we asked people in london what they think about the government's high risk approach to tackling the pandemic. it's probably

true if you take your view but i don't really describes how we 1st take responsibility for the shit we 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 it's really i can also see the intake say we're going to you know a cost of people to get that fire so you can't force people to make that which sounds we've come down to date. which is defy this but we got 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 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 think it's a great strategy possibly a strong strategic thank you don't know but nobody seems to be giving us old the

range you want to hear. like tell it as a as an associate professor of infectious disease a lot ling a bit of us to have laurie k. he explains the thinking behind the government's approach. to herd immunity is that when enough people have been trapped by 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 in interventions that will delay the peak of the epidemic and also reduce the reduce the height of the epidemic at the point which the certain number of people would be infected then they could no longer in fact any more people because he sensually people had all their contacts and been infected and so in reduced to a low enough level and that the epidemic would die out there's a risk to have we know that the over seventy's and particularly you know the eighty's. because they may have underlying health conditions. more 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 care have access to it. and the greek island of less boss is sliding deeper into crisis with the number of asylum seekers there swelling and opposition to water and growing the prospect of coronavirus tearing through the overcrowded loria camp is also causing tensions to flare evangelos that sas reports. the greek island of less full size a 3 week conflict on its hands as europe's front lines 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 that are stopping cars that many n.g.o.s a bunch so that was the defense for that which stuffing their rental cars and there was just much in them they can beat them throwing stones at them they can be put out beating people we can go in any. kind chasing also but india's so they stop 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 pressures 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 back to night yeah. so to me to tell you know we're not talking about 2 months so that would be. almost $42000.00 euros is 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 clashed with them on the contrary they come in gangs and try to argue with those police but. main goal is to protect the village the soaps and 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 single speed very big price tourist season has become something of the past that businesses have even been forced to keep them shutters for good 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. 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 on your r.l. but down here on the ground it's clouded over fear certain. mental subsides for lesbos greece. independent inquiry into child sex abuse in the u.k. has found that the internet is facilitating a sharp rise in predatory behavior and the police are struggling to respond to the growing threat now according to the report's findings 11 to 13 year olds are most at risk is that as many as $450.00 suspected peeta files are arrested month and it stresses that the scale of abuse is likely to be considerably higher than the official figures the inquiry also notes that many internet companies are failing to

provide adequate protection fit for youngsters using their services. you don't know where this image is ryland out and that is an awful thing to think of that paedophiles can just look online and get whatever they want and it's scary . 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. to deal with the. methods that abuses use of force a is the british government needs to work with tech companies to counter 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 clintons it also want schools to offer better guidance about how to stay safe online for the more legislation may be proposed which would enable nor enforcement to tackle the problem more

effectively. we can't arrest our way out of the problem and we have to look at a far more holistic approach we are a saturation point margaret oliver who expose the poor handling of the rushed out child abuse sex 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 because we need more police officers we need a real commitment to invest in dealing with this kind of crime but alongside. the giants like google like microsoft. imus and they have.

legislation should make them culture if you are going to and she will that investment does the incentives to prevent the to piles 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 u.s. democratic party's presidential nomination was held in washington d.c. on sunday night much of the discussion between the front runner joe biden on the self-styled democratic socialist bernie sanders focus on the question of health care and whether the u.s. system is well placed to handle the kovac 900 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 came to colona virus threat to illustrate the country's need for

a universal health care system joe biden for the most part focuses far on the trunk administration accusing it of badly 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 cut so should security and medicare that's what the all said 4 years ago and nothing happened in fact i save social security and medicare i will not be cutting but they will be careful. the number of corona virus cases has spiked dramatically in the u.s. 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 suspected of having the illness it also provides 2 weeks of paid sick leave as well as up to 3 months of family medical leave the

measure however only applies to businesses with few within $500.00 employees and 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 on the rolling of a far left agenda unfortunately it appears at this hour that the speaker and house democrats chose to produce an immediate logical wishless there was no. over 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. based in the way of money has lost the now she believes the new bill doesn't go far enough and the people need far more financial assistance. interesting in that i've been hearing not just really but people are really talking about other. dictions and also something called universal basic income so i think what i see is that people are working not just for me but for real transformative change because the thing with this that everybody should have has the everybody should help their health care if you be here. 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 wasn't universal help were in medicare. has to be implemented right moral you know that people who do have money and are wealthy will be a writer whether that's where i can where there are more income are going to help
