6:03 am
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 tile 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 'd . authorities in moscow are trying to follow in the dragon's footsteps china style
6:04 am
hospital has been 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 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
6:05 am
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 in in 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 internet 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 that extraterrestrial origins i should
6:06 am
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. 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 that say the russian capital will go into total lockdown and that they'll be shortages of essential products in shops retail is trying to calm such concerns by releasing video footage of the warehouses and chains say that they have enough supplies to last at least 8 weeks this includes the most popular items that are being boarded buses ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public that grocery stores will not close. supermarket chains reports an increase in demand for grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat it is done of checked out the situation at
6:07 am
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 the cheaper ones they have they're gone like for instance here like 15 cents 30 cents
6:08 am
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'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 releases 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
6:09 am
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. cheap for me like chicken or turkey more expensive mead like beef or pork while it's gone just some of the most expensive stuff is here but. nothing. well judging by the amount of sweets next to me one thing can be said with certainty children are definitely not panicking and
6:10 am
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 m.t.v. . 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 donald trump has announced that he's invoking a wartime powers to force industry to tackle the covert 19 outbreak. it will be
6:11 am
in vogue in the defense production act just in case we need it the words if you will know what it is and it can do a lot of good things if we need it most sacrifice together because we are all in this together and will come through together you all 5 states in the u.s. have postponed the primaries amid the. break but the democratic national committee has issued a warning but hasty changes to the primaries process may result in penalties killam open explain 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
6:12 am
ministration has made a serious of false promises about the country's diagnostic capacities spreading confusing and onto 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 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 each the 1st determining step must take place
6:13 am
by the 9th of june if the state violates the rule on timing. 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 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
6:14 am
look we can postpone this basically they can postpone it will weigh 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 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. cumple you new u.k.

you to start doing the such users tell them the t m 40 summed up. the money that you call british mr west i am all sure you. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there. welcome back in the u.k. 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
6:17 am
a negative impact in other ways a british nurse claims that she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work. with stash he explains. 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 stuff 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 and. just experience something that really opened my mind with today's society so i was coming out from the trees day she 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 from my race and it gets worse she was attacked on her way to
6:18 am
hospital for an 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 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 are curator of us drop white 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 unfairly or not asians are being seen as carries a virus your presence on the stand would unfortunately create hesitation on the
6:19 am
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 ice are 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 other 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. the coronavirus epidemic a sort of a disturbance wave of prejudice against people of chinese and east asian if the
6:20 am
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 straight. people the idea to any racial racialized. is something which we hope when our. report has been in a search of the chinese race the consequence of the 'd labeling in the midst. of this why. ringback in this country for the lack of. a lack of ability to live society to maintain 'd a system of health and correlated support reflects very badly on both the government the government but i think essentially people work together and use racism as a tool to divide and rule and much more call for the administration sponsibility to
6:21 am
make sure the style of the work for the n.h.s. which are mostly right for the multi-faith are treated equally. also in the u.k. dying patients are being told to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones over skype that's part of new guidance for british hospitals the guidelines are reportedly designed to help medics the spread of the pandemic signs a farewell recommendations the release document discourages family or friend visits in person to critical care areas some funding you to it is distasteful and it's 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
6:22 am
a child the was the big health scare that's when i was a serious 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 start 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
6:23 am
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 scenarios 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 was turned out to be priceless because buried in a state it was
6:24 am
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 anybody. or the buyer claims the laptop contained a set of instructions on the use and maintenance of an abundance of anti aircraft systems the documents also give guidelines on how to destroy the system so our enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it now the unit in question is currently in the ass of the national army and 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 up to 6 kilometers away and the german defense ministry admits there may 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 you the laptop was
6:25 am
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's 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 i'm 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 or defense systems because they without it and i thought they joined us from our top stories the current coronavirus latest coming up in half.
6:26 am
a fairly super cool for sure but a little tractor there was a news new york at the song trick to start with you shirtless with a cheap if we look you feel and i'd ministry's for war for your clothing or not and i do it is maybe i'm focused but i will push if you're so foolish you're going to kill us no. institution is. going to kill us.
6:27 am
6:28 am
for. the trip to improve. on that but it's. never the truth. because. just because the global world was going to have to. have this movie. you're fighting. for about. a little less. about 4 to 6 months because of the sound. guys or this is the kaiser report day 17 of the big walk down and of course as the saying goes when the going gets tough the tough make kaito cheesecake as you
6:29 am
can see here. put together a delicious coke of it kiddo cheesecake in my insta pot and this is what's getting me through this horrible global lockdown and other good stuff like that stacey yes max we have been talking about of course the collapse of the markets and whether or not this can be like the great depression sort of error or in 1987 or 2008 because history often rhymes of course there are unique individuals and unique generations and unique societies encountering each wave of collapse all the way back to the south sea bubble so they're never completely the same but the human nature and human instincts are often the same just like a virus is often generally the same they become very deadly and then usually they somehow are defeated i want to look at some of the stories we've been covering and
6:30 am
i know everybody is probably stressed out there where stress like is not nice to have a pandemic unfolding around the wall then it's not nice to see markets down 10 percent up 12 percent down 7 percent you know this sort of turmoil is distressing and the fact that we will have to shut down much of our economy for a month or 2 months is going to be a lot of hardship for a lot of people so it is a serious situation but in terms of what we've been covering for the past 10 years we've talked about the death of the dollar and the ultimate demise of the dollar and it's not just targeting the united states it's not just specific to them it is about the currency system because we have been on a new unique experiment since 1971 where we're on an all dollar standard and we pointed out that on march 8th sunday march 8th the petro dollar era ended it was sunday march 8th that was the end of the petro dollar when saudi arabia flooded the walls with oil and cut the price of a barrel well even by $10.00.
