kingdom a nurse that claimed she was racially abused while on her way to work. these can't . just come in physically and verbally abuse me. thanks for joining us of all the places you could be getting your news thanks for coming here to r.t. international. the number of confirmed cases of corona virus has reached 219000 worldwide with the death toll now at almost 9000 john as we reach and where the and demick started reported no new cases on wednesday and less than 14 you cases were registered in china as a whole or cases detected in people arriving from abroad.

russia has registered 147 corona virus patients with the majority of those infected located in moscow the authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to prevent the mass spread of the virus seen elsewhere among the actions taken by moscow is restricted entry for foreign nationals people who enter the country from abroad that must go into quarantine for a period of 2 weeks schools will be temporarily closed from march 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited artie's senior correspondent ryan gets the f. tells us more. what is going on how has russia been this lucky well it hasn't this isn't luck this is what happens when you take a pandemic seriously and early rather than as in europe avoid doing anything until it's too late the russian health ministry has warned that the country could be at risk from the new coronavirus medical services are on high

alert people arriving from the worst hit nations have been instructed the self isolate for 2 weeks dozens are in quarantine and also under medical observation this isn't a declaration of victory there are no winners here and there are new illusions that the virus will somehow skip over russia the point is to give the country time time to prepare to save lives as the outbreak began moscow dedicated a brand new hospital just to treat coronavirus patients with china's experience taught the world a number of things one hospital isn't enough 'd . authorities in moscow are trying to follow in the dragon's footsteps china style

hospital is being a wreck to just outside of moscow not for lack of beds now but to make sure that there isn't a lack tomorrow the plan is for a hospital town with its own sewage system and water filtration systems in its own little countryside an exclusion zone we have learned that it is possible to contain to control this pandemic look at hong kong south korea japan even china but you've got to do it right. the prevention and control measures have been implemented rapidly from the early stages and we 100 of the key areas of you bay so the current overall national epidemic measures were taken to ensure that all cases were treated and close contacts were isolated and put under medical observation of 1st europe did almost nothing to limit the spread wouldn't restrict travel no serious quarantine instead when it became obvious that they had left it for too

long they threw up their hands and said most of us would get it anyway now that the citizens are angry demanding answers they admit that they mishandled it still in defiance of all logic and reason they've managed to shovel some of the blame onto russia we notice that it was because in an mounds of this information from outside of the e.u. among others also from russia or from providers reach are based in russia or at least some how to draw kremlin sources they allege russian government backed this information campaign based on 80 in that means which they won't show us over the course of 2 months which is about one piece of this information a day for comparison i get about 15 chain texts from my grandmother every day detailing a new magical cure for the corona virus and it's extraterrestrial origins i should

probably warn her the european union may launch an official inquiry into how pensioners are in on a dis information conspiracy whereby they said silly text messages and chain that has to their grandkids or we could call it what it is incompetent european bureaucrats who bungled an epidemic allowed thousands to needlessly die and now looking for a scapegoat. the moscow mayor's office has warned about misinformation spreading across the internet regarding the pandemic and the measures to cane contain it now this includes posts that say the russian capital were going to total lockdown and that there will be shortages of essential products in the shops retailers are trying to claim concerns by releasing video of their warehouses some chains say that they have enough supplies to last at least 8 weeks and that includes the most

popular items that will be given hoarded the russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public the grocery stores will not close while that even putin is advice it is not to stockpile. to you the main thing that people need to understand is that the situation is stable city do not need to spend money on goods that will later have to be thrown away. supermarket chains report an increase in demand for grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians as buckwheat it is done if checked out the situation of a large moscow supermarket. panic buying has become one of the key manifestations of the coronavirus scare all over the world so now we've come to one of most schools largest retail stores parts of europe the ch'an chain just to get an idea as to how badly this thing is affecting the russians in fact we're in the very same store that had previously introduced so-called apocalypse shopping carts pre-selected bundles of essential goods for about $45.00 per cart was

a one time action but it turned out to be a clear success because those cards have been already swept and they're nowhere to be found but now let's have a look as to how well this particular and a very large store is stocked itself. first stop is well good old soap and the situation here is quite interesting because all the cheaper ones they have they're gone like for instance here like 15 cents 30 cents buy the i'm not making up the prices these are actual prices on the soap here they're gone but the more expensive stuff over here. in abundance in fact let me show you one thing you can literally if you're a if you're in a panic situation if you are in a panic mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is liquid soap 5 liters of liquid soap but we're going to be opting for something different

something so. particularly sensitive subject lately toilet paper while. any type of budget any type of skin there's clearly enough for everyone and i feel like a plenty at home but for the sake of the experiment let's get some why not. well this is trouble all right because we're in the poultry section and the well it's been ransacked there are people all around filming on their phones as well together with us what's going on here but the store has put up a reassuring messages reassuring sign saying essentially that the product is the products are on the way don't worry if you haven't found what you wanted here it will be here we will restock it in the nearest future together with the supplies

we're doing everything to maintain the needed stockpile. cheaper me like chicken or turkey more expensive me like before the poor while it's gone just some of the most expensive stuff is here but here nothing. well judging by the amount of sweets next to me one thing can be said with certainty children are definitely not panicking and can be an example to us all. well this is of course just a symbolic cut it's not really serious but if i were to go all in and defy wanted to get everything that i needed for a nuclear winter scenario so to speak i would have had very very few problems with doing so and even with that said supply is have been talking

a lot and posting photos and videos of their storage is really filled up to the brim with produce saying that there is literally no reason to panic about whatever whatever. shelves that we've just seen while they will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now it's lopes the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. in the u.s. president donald trump hours announce that he's invoking wartime powers to force industry to tackle the cove in $1000.00 outbreak this comes businesses across the country fall into crisis with one in 5 households reporting last work. will be invoked in the defense production act just in case we need it the words if you all know what it is it can do a lot of good things if we need it must sacrifice together because we are all in this together and will come through together. in all the u.s.

presidential primaries are in full swing though the pandemic is having an impact a federal lawsuit was filed on wednesday by democrats in wisconsin asking state election officials to extend the absentee voting deadlines due to the outbreak the real solution nationwide is universal vote by mail the lawsuit filed by wisconsin democrats and the democratic national committee today is a critical step to ensure that even in the midst of a hideous and lethal pandemic everyone has the opportunity to vote. now this comes as 5 other states in the u.s. postponed the primaries however the democratic national committee has issued a warning that hasty changes to the primary process may result in penalties on the scale of more than explains all of society hunkers down in the face of a global health pandemic the democrats have decided to point fingers and play the blame game this crisis is going to demand more from all of us more from an administration and a president that has been far too slow in waking up to the scale of the challenges

we now face i have been incredibly frustrated and concerned by the trumpet administration's missteps and slow response to this crisis so far the trumpet ministration has made a serious of false promises about the country's diagnostic capacities spreading confusion and untrue information about the every lability of tests for the general public and so to hear the leader of the federal government tell us to work around the federal government because it's too too slow is just it's kind of mind boggling to be honest now there is no question that donald trump is taking this very seriously as a public health crisis we're asking everyone to work at home with possible postpone unnecessary travel and limit social gatherings to no more than 10 people by making shared sacrifices and temporary changes we can protect the health of our people now the d.n.c. is very happy to call out donald trump but their own political goals are not on hold 5 states have canceled their presidential primary votes and now the d.n.c.

says that there could be consequences we're working with state policies the need to make adjustments is needed to the delegate selection process so they can continue without major interruptions each state's 1st determining step must take place by the 9th of june if his state violates the rule on timing or any other rule they could be subject to penalties including at least a 50 percent reduction in delegates that's right the democratic leadership is now. mandating that senior citizens and everyone else drop everything rushed to the polls and vote in the democrats' primary risking death in some cases now if you don't do it they say they will make you pay no small sense of entitlement there in states that have had their primary vote the turnout has been rather low big shocker at this point all public gatherings movie theaters restaurants are shut down so why not the polls exactly it makes sense to close this down i mean that's just the you

know any of these voting centers that would just simply be a centers for transmitting disease and it's the responsible thing is then to say look we can postpone this basically they can postpone it will the way up to late may have all the put all the remaining primaries on and some day in late may and that's it it's certainly a much more sensible policy than the holding primaries now when everybody's so anxious about the virus i think they are thinking entirely in terms of the general election i mean the democrats have absolutely desperate to defeat donald trump they want to wrap this up as quickly as possible before the public has a chance to change its mind the rules across america are changing in the face of the coded 1000 health crisis but one thing certainly remains the same the only set of rules the democratic national committee plays by are their own and they demand

that everyone else play by them as well kaleb up and r.t. new york. in the u.k. the spread of the virus has picked up pace 2 and a half 1000 people have now tested positive and the pandemic seems like it might be bringing out the worst in some an n.h.s. nurse claims she was assaulted and racially abused on our way to work on t. shirt he had was stashed he reports it may come as no surprise that the n.h.s. isn't exactly thriving what with being on the forefront of the fight against coronavirus staff shortages not enough funding and even a lack of clothing for medical staff professionals make it harder to help save lives but those were predictable evils was less than anticipated is that a phobia towards people who are treating patients but it happened to the n.h.s. nurse who was allegedly racially abusing the south just experience something that really opened my mind with today's society so i was coming up from the train

station just minding my own business usually get out through the barriers and to come to work as a nurse. and these cop who. just come and physically and verbally abuse me from my race and it gets worse she was attacked on her way to a hospital for overtime shift to help her colleagues cope with the outbreak every really to come together you know any chance is struggling my goodness we have to start no doctors no nothing people who need to wake up and realise that this virus is not an excuse to be racist or to discriminate against everyone period the sad reality is as a virus sort of originates in china it spreads across the globe so does panic and xenophobia for instance the singapore and student was assaulted and loved by teenagers who punched him in the face streaming we don't know what you're coronavirus in our country he shouted i don't want your coronavirus in my country

you think this is et. a vietnamese all of us drop quite exhibitor earlier this month the u.k. arts are because of fears that she would spread the virus. the coronavirus is causing much anxiety everywhere and fairly or not asians are being seen as carriers of the virus your presence on the stand would unfortunately create hesitation on the part of the audience to enter the exhibition space i apologize for this and hope we can meet and perhaps work together in the future these cases in the u.k. are just the tip of the iceberg across the pond in new york amount of news an asian person on the lecture just for standing next to her and want. to leave. germany and it's not only open aggressions are there people are now turning up their noses to asian cuisine and culture and asian people in general are being avoided at what the p.d.f. page has even been set up dedicated to covert 19 incidents of racism with governments and international organizations now mate and to being a country as

a cautioned against actions that promote stickler or even discrimination in the eye with the principles of our top 3 of our actual chrono virus epidemic a sort of a disturbing wave of prejudice against people of chaney's and east asian in the city and a call member states to do their utmost to combat this and other forms of discrimination it seems increasingly true that in times of crisis and strain bring out the western people the idea. that racial i.q. racial. is something which we hoped when on the 2nd world war well our record has been that. the consequence of. 'd living in the midst. of this war was. moved from the lack of. 'd lack of ability to mobilize society to maintain a system above. all

a to support. the government the government but i think you censure the people. work to go. to. and much more all the administration responsibility to make sure that we're. which are more. are treated equally also in the u.k. dying patients are being told to save their last goodbyes to their loved ones over skype that's part of new guidance for british hospital for the guidelines are reportedly designed to help medics stem the spread of the pandemic besides the farewell recommendations the release document discourages family or friend visits in person critical care areas some find the need to distasteful it's an issue we put up for discussion. so on the face of it these guidelines and they are guidelines these are rules might seem distasteful and they might seem harsh of

course but we have to be mindful of why these guidelines been put in place this is not about stopping the husband of a wife they've been together 50 years from saying goodbye to his wife for example this is around the extended family i speak for a time when a child the was the big health scare that's when i was a senior sister in the renal unit and in those days you know i'm afraid to say it our priority was treating our patients not the visitors you can use up these valuable staff time on relatives you can't have a situation where you still got other patients treated in intensive care units some patients in intensive care units have 101215 or more people who want to visit them and we can't allow that to happen at the current time because of course that's putting those individuals at risk but also providing huge vectors to disseminate this virus we all took for granted as personal liberties they're all going to be

taken away and i'm afraid we are there to treat sick people and it is really sad it is really probably only going to be confined to people on the i t you we have got to look at you from individual ism and we have to look at the heard of course we would want that patient at home the reality is for intensive care patients that is almost always not possible in that they wouldn't make it home these decisions are absolutely best left to the clinicians they're the ones who are in charge of the treatment you're looking at $60000.00 patient days on an intensive care unit on the best case scenario clinicians understand they understand how important relatives are but i'm afraid i do have to keep saying it's the herd is more important the staff are more important than individual feelings that we do not want to think about the worst case scenario we're preparing for the. best in the intermediate case scenario is the worst case scenario is going to hugely challenge our n.h.s.

and really redefine the way we use health care services not just during this crisis but for many years to come there after. an old computer purchased on e bay by a group of german cyber security experts for just $100.00 has turned out to be priceless that's because buried in its data was a step by step guide on how to use one of the country's air defense systems we've discovered something exciting the german army hasn't lost any of its classified data on e bay now the buyer claims that the laptop contained a set of instructions on the use and maintenance of an advanced anti aircraft system the documents also give guidelines on how to destroy the systems are enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it's now the unit in question is currently in the arsenal of the national army it was 1st introduced almost 20 years ago still serves as a defensive barrier for military personnel against low flying in the bombers and helicopters missiles they can reach targets up to 6 kilometers away and his defense minister

admits there might have been a mistake in destroying its old computers. the old computer is used for the fasces have all been decommissioned and sent for recycling with orders to raise or render existence storage media usable it can be assumed that america during the recycling of the computer in question it's very embarrassing if the laptop was really quite old it was running windows 2000 the dot on it that about time cybersecurity wasn't as big an issue as that as it is today and putting it into context it was at the lowest classifications but none of that's an excuse this should not have happened hard drives are usually taken out of military computers before they're sold on and the hard drives are destroyed separately this clearly hasn't happened here there is a danger posed definitely because it giving away some of the technical background to the air defense system and people don't realize how much data that can survive for long periods of time and short cuts are taken in the disposal of certain

equipment that makes it. fantastic for it could be germany's enemies in wanting to look at ways of potentially country in these are defense systems. ok watching out international operators right up today thanks for joining us hope you're well and safe wherever you are i'll be back with updates in half an hour. lead.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation from the whole community. are you going the right way or are you being let. go of. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the

with fear. it was really like you living in ohio. and i went to a terrible. i want to. be dangerous says woman was reading is also the door front. door just beating was. making some brave. brave had to be tested to be fixed on them because this was going to read the bombs . you see. them and. one day. the main assessment.

started. he called me. i was pushing away pushing away and there was no way for me to escape. and he was beating me. he was wearing heavy boots. and yours beating me up from top to bottom. when they left i was all below the. block was gone home gushing from all over i really don't know how i make good stitches was made worse beating. and the girls couldn't believe it and. people don't know when they look at you and they're really insights left you it's left a scar and that it dips.
