a new hospital for coronavirus patients is being built on the. us russia and stricter measures for the spread of the virus part correspondent checked out the level of panic in russian supermarkets. now to a particularly sensitive subject lately toilet paper while. any type of budget any type of. this is clearly enough for everyone. in the u.s. several states announced they've postponed primaries to contain the corona virus spread the national democratic national committee warning of possible penalties. 19 aggressively spreads across the u.k. a nurse claims that she was racially abused while on the way to work. these copying

. has come in physically and verbally abused we race. day here in moscow thanks for joining us here on out. the number of confirmed cases of corona virus has now reached 220000 will wipe with the death toll at almost 9000 . region though where the pandemic began reported no new cases on wednesday the world health organization has started to test a new vaccine against covert 19. russia has registered 148 corona virus patients with the majority of those infected

located in moscow is also now registered its 1st death an elderly woman with preexisting medical conditions the authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to prevent the mass spread of the virus is 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 who details his artie's for i guess the. 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. 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 new 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 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 or 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 who 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 also becomes 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 internet means which they won't show us over the course of 2 months which is about one piece of disinformation 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 letters to their grand kids. the moscow mayor's office has warned about misinformation spreading across the internet regarding the pandemic and the measures to contain it this includes posts saying that the russian capital will go into total lockdown and that there will be shortages of essential products in shops all retailers have tried to calm concerns by releasing video from their warehouses some chains say that they have enough supplies to last at least 8 weeks this includes the most popular items that are being hoarded the russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public the grocery stores will not close. the supermarket chains report an increase in demand for grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat it is done i've checked out the situation at 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 shan 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 it 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 cheaper ones they are gone like for instance here like 15 cents 30 cents by they are 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 in a panic mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is liquid soap 5 releases of liquid soap but we're going to be opting for something different something. so. now to a 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 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 mead like chicken or turkey more expensive mead 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 a 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 oh whatever. shelves that we've just seen while they 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 on trump has announced that he's invoking wartime powers to force industry to tackle the covert 19 outbreak will be invoked in the defense production

act just in case we need it the words if you will know what it is really 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 the primaries amid the 1000 outbreak but the democratic national committee's issued a warning that hasty changes to the primary process could result in penalties kelly morgan explained. 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 rules 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 that's just they you know any of these voting centers it 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 the

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 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 all of 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 caleb mop and r.t. new york. so it's come for this our new u.k. hospital guidelines say the dying people should say goodbye to their loved ones

over skype we'll bring you that story and others after the break. leg. length.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront cation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. or go back in the united kingdom the spread of corona virus has picked up pace with more than 2 and a half 1000 people now infected and the pandemic also appears to be having a negative impact in other ways the british nurse claims that she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work on the show the edwards daschle 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 of xenophobia towards people who were treating patients but it happened to the n.h.s. nurse who was allegedly racially abusing itself just to experience something that really opened my mind of 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 cops who. just come and physically and verbally abuse me my race and it gets worse she was attacked on her way to a hospital for an overtime shift to help her colleagues cope with the outbreak every really to come together you have any chance is struggling my goodness we have to start no doctors no nothing people who need to wake up and realize 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 and spreads across the globe so does panic and xenophobia for instance a singapore in student was assaulted in london by teenagers who punched him in the face screaming we don't want your coronavirus in our country he shouted i don't want your coronavirus in my country you think this is et well no a vietnamese our curator 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. so many 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 the 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 stickler or even discrimination in the eye with the principles of our top 3 of our h.r. . the coronavirus epidemic a sort of a disturbing 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 stray bring out the western people the idea that any racial like

a racial thing is something which we hope when our 2nd world war well our record has been the. chinese racism the consequence of the 'd mislabeling in the midst. of this. ringback country for the lack of total. lack of ability to mobilize society to maintain 'd a system about health care and coordinated support. the government and the government. i think you so much of the people work together and don't use racism as a tool to divide and rule and much more important the administration comes sponsibility to make sure the stock at work. which are more people are treated equally. and also in the u.k. dying patients are being told to say their last goodbyes to loved ones over skype

this is part of new guidance for british hospitals these guidelines were reportedly designed to help medics stand the spread of the pandemic besides the farewell recommendations the release document discourages family or friend visits in person to critical care is some find the new tips distasteful we put the issue 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 defense systems. we've discovered something exciting the german army hasn't lost any of its classified data on e bay and 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 system so that enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it the unit in question scarily in the arsenal of the national army it was 1st introduced almost 20 years ago but it still serves as a defensive barrier for military personnel against low flying enemy bombers and helicopters its missiles can reach targets of the 6 kilometers away and his defense ministry 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 you 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 that 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. and our coverage here on r.t. international i will be back with updates on our top stories in just over half an hour.
