new hospital for coronavirus patients is being built on the outskirts of moscow russia implement strict measures to halt the spread of the virus correspondent checks out the level of panic in russian supermarkets. to a particularly sensitive subject lately toilet paper while. any type of budge of any type of skin is clearly enough for everyone. in the u.s. several states announced safe primaries to contain the corona virus spread with the democratic national committee warning of possible penalties. over 19 aggressively spreads across the u.k. nurse she was racially abused on her way to work. these carpool.

just come and physically and verbally abuse me very. good morning thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the number of confirmed cases of corona virus has reached 219000 worldwide with the death toll now almost 9000 john region though where the pandemic started reported no new cases on wednesday the world health organization started to test a new vaccine against covert 90. 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 as seen elsewhere among the actions taken by moscow is restricted entry for foreign nationals people who enter the country from abroad must go into quarantine for 2 weeks schools will be temporarily closed from march 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited is arties franc as the effort 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. thanks to swift measures we've taken in advance of both federal and regional levels in the 1st weeks of the worldwide epidemic outbreak we managed to restrain the massive and i would like to emphasize that massive infiltration and spread of the disease in russia this isn't

a declaration of victory there are no winners here and there are no illusions that the virus will somehow skip over russia the point is to give the country tired time to prepare to save lives as the outbreak began moscow dedicated a brand new hospital just to treat coronavirus patients but china's experience told the world a number of things one hospital isn't enough. authorities in moscow are trying to follow in the dragon's footsteps china style hospital as being a wrecked 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 in we've 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 at 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 on to russia we notice that it was becoming an mounds of this information from outside of the e.u. among others also from russia or from providers which 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 man's office has worn. misinformation spreading across the internet regarding the pandemic and the measures to contain it this includes post saying that the russian capital will go into total lockdown and that there will be shortages of essential products in the shops retailers have tried to calm such concerns by releasing video of their warehouses and chains say that they have enough supplies to last for at least 8 weeks this includes the most popular items that are being hoarded russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public that grocery stores will not close supermarket chains report an increase in

demand for grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat. checked out the situation at one large moscow supermarket. panic buying has become one of the key manifestations of the corona virus 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 carts 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 world this particular end 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 are 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 are if you are in a panic situation if you are. the panicky mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is the 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 sighing and saying essentially that the products 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 mead like before you pour 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 empty. well that we've just seen while there will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now it looks that the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. u.s.

president donald trump has announced that he's invoking wartime powers to force industry to tackle the covert 19 outbreak comes as 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 will know what it is in the 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 meanwhile 5 states in the u.s. have postponed their primaries amid the covert 19 outbreak however the democratic national committee has issued a warning that hasty changes to the primary process could result in penalties kellam open 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 trump 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 confusing on true information about the availability 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 a possible postpone and this is a travel and limits social gatherings to no more than 10 people by making shared sacrifices and temporary changes we can protect the health of our people at 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 each the 1st determining step must take place by the 9th of june if a state violates the rule on timing or any other rule that could be subject to penalties including at least a 50 percent reduction in delegates we advise states to follow the recommendations of local health officials and prioritize health and safety of all individuals that's right the democratic leadership is now demanding 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 there'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 if basically they can postpone it will the way up to late may have all the put all the remaining primaries on on some day in late may and that is certainly a much more sensible policy than holding primaries now when everybody's so anxious about the virus i think that 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. ok so some here on our team knew that u.k. hospital god won't say the dying people should say goodbye to their loved ones over sky bring you that story and more after the break. rushes and. more from the beach he cut a hole close to a team you'll be set it's. not always shooting against.

beautiful to go see it myself included actually showing you a little bit i was going to have. to show. for it to. get into a spot to the south korean users tell them not to be calm cool and summed up. as much of the british mr west imo sure but. the washington consensus led by the united states says the liberal world order must be defended at almost all costs said differently the foreign policy blog demands

the post cold war you know polar moment be preserved but alas it would seem a multiple has already arrived. or come back in the u.k. the spread of the corona virus has picked up pace now more than 2 and a half 1000 people that infected and the pandemic also appears to be having a negative impact in other ways a british nurse claims that she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work with a reporter's artie's shadi edwards dashti. 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 corona virus stuff shortages not enough funding and even a lack of clothing for medical stuff professionals make it harder to help save lives but those were predictable evils was less than anticipated of 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 couple who. just come and physically and verbally abuse me from my race and it gets worse she was attacked on her way to 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 a new start a new doctrine of 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 the fire sort of originates in china and spreads across the

globe so does panic and xenophobia for instance the singapore and student was assaulted and london by teenagers who punched him in the face screaming we don't know what you're coronavirus in our culture he shouted. i don't want your coronavirus in my country you think this is et well no a vietnamese are 3 of us dropped quite exhibitor earlier this month the u.k. are there because of fears that she would spread the virus the corona virus is causing much anxiety everywhere and fairly or not asians are being seen as carries a 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 one. coming. and it's not only open aggressions are other people are now turning up their noses

to asian cuisine and culture and asian people in general are being avoided a wiki pedia page has even been set up dedicated to covert 19 incidents of racism with governments and international organizations now makes intervening countries a cautioned against actions that promote sticker or even discrimination in the eye with the principles of our top 3 of our h.r. . the coronavirus epidemic a sort of a disturbance wave of prejudice against people of chinese and east asian if the city and i call member states do their utmost to combat this and other forms of discrimination it seems increasingly true that in times of crisis and strength bring out the western people the idea of any racial racialized. is something which we hoped when. reports in a search of the chinese race is the consequence of. 'd living in the midst.

of this. country for lack of. 'd a lack of ability to live society to maintain 'd a system of health and correlated. reflects very badly on the government. but i think essentially people work together and use racism as a tool to divide and much more important for the administration sponsibility to make sure the style of the work for the n.h.s. which are mostly right. are treated equally. saying in the u.k. dying patients are being told to say the last goodbyes to loved ones over skype as part of new guidance for petition hospitals these guidelines are reportedly designed to help medics stem the spread of the pandemic besides the farewell recommendations the release document discourages family or friends visits in person

to critical care areas some finding new types distasteful is an issue that 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 it 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 this turned out to be priceless because buried in its data was a step by step guide on how to use one of the country's defense systems we've discovered something exciting the german army hasn't lost any of its classified data or on e bay the bio 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 that system so that enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it now the unit in question it 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 enemy bombers and helicopters is missiles they can reach targets up to 6 kilometers away the german defense ministry admits there might have been a mistake in destroying those 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 your the laptop was really quite old it was running windows 2000 the data on a 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 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 these are defense systems. get a bunch of other today i think staying with r.t. international told me for updates to the top down. as a nation from which to yes and. i thank my for from the

floor of the truck to improve for. each of my parents. never to try to get from. this because of global was 'd going to have to use it you know what you just have the flavor of ice the movie the spot it's not something you're fighting for the phone book about. something left before she left for the 6 months because.

welcome to the alex salmond show from belfast here the same way as reconvened after i got over 3 years and as a father of consolidation of the 22 year peace process but with the political change in the way i cannot piece hold. in this 3 part series on the future of northern ireland alex speaks to those who have enabled the peace process and then to members of both political communities after 4 years where northern irish politics were center stage largely because of its impact on the parliament arithmetic of breaks that we're now in a position where it is breaks it which is impacting on the politics of northern ireland the decisive christmas election in the u.k. helped break this simply deadlock we should paralyze the provinces domestic politics since 2017 and the storm an assembly was he convened within

a month of pulling the british politician who had helped broker the deal was publicly funded by the prime minister and then promptly dumped from the cabinet and last month's reshuffle gillian smith held the post of northern irish secretary for a mere 204 days but he packed a great deal into his term of office and so after 3 years frozen in aspic this sam was back in business emboldened by the success the teacher called an election in the republic only to find the trouble he got bogged down in domestic issues should fade gain credibility from being back in government in the north the subsequent electoral breakthrough means that shin fein are competing for political leadership in the north out of the sofa balance and on a platform of seeking a board of people so what do these developments mean for the future of northern ireland as will become clear the process of breaks it unpledged changes taking place in arlington north and south has caused all sorts searching

a new thinking among both the nationalist i'm unionists communities now back to alex in belfast. a peace process requires peacemakers politicians of the imagination to leap across history but it also has to be understood today i speak to professor duncan murrell norm ireland's foremost academic on the subject of anti bigotry and reconciliation between communities but professor morrow welcome to the examined show thank you so much glad to be here. you are probably the most published academic in terms of reconciliation between the communities and northern ireland and indeed of course of you to your expertise to help the anti septillion drive in scotland. how do you get communities to stop distrusting. it's not a simple question and it goes back to so many different dimensions and i suppose actually for us it was trying to faint.
