. just come and physically and verbally abuse me all my race and. i welcome you with r.t. international where has just gone 2 o'clock in the afternoon here in moscow now the number of confirmed cases of coronaviruses reach 221000 worldwide with the death toll now at almost 9000 however china's one hand region where the pandemic did start reported no new cases on wednesday and in other developments the world health organization has started testing a new vaccine against. new. meanwhile russia has registered over 140 corona virus patients with the majority of

those infected located in moscow it's also now registered its 1st death to an elderly woman with preexisting medical conditions. gradually implementing stricter measures to prevent the mass spread of the virus as seen elsewhere but among the actions taken by moscow is restricted entry for foreign nationals people who enter the country from abroad must now go into quarantine for 2 weeks and schools will be temporarily closed from march the 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited on his murder against the of 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. 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's star hospital has

been 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 in we are the here is are 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 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 dissent from ation 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 even on a dis information conspiracy whereby they said silly text messages and chain that has to their grandkids. we're against the of there will be more skim as officers also have warned about 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 meanwhile try to come concerns by releasing videos of their warehouses some change to say they have enough supplies at the moment to last at least 8 weeks and this includes the most popular items that are being hoarded russian ministry of industry and trade assuring the public that graciously stools will not close well supermarket chains report an increase in demand for grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat's

because dan of was in a checked out the situation at a large supermarket in moscow. 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 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 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. 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 well 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 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 can be an example to us all. well this is of course just a symbolic cut it's not really serious but a. 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 but even with that said suppliers 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 that whatever whatever empty shelves 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. you pushed an affair

in the russian capital well meanwhile in america the us president has announced he's invoking wartime powers to force industry to tackle the 19. it will be invoked in the defense production act just in case we needed 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. we modify states in the us a possible in the primaries and in the big 99 break however the democratic national committee has issued a warning that hasty changes to the primaries process may result in penalties on these kind of more pain as more. 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 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 a necessary 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 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 new. of june if the 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 that's just the you know any of these voting centers that would just simply be a centers for transmitting disease and if 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 is 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. still ahead for you after the break in the case hospital guidelines say that dying people should say their goodbyes to their loved ones over skype we'll have a look at the details on that story plus of the stick stuff. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development 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.

seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and engaged because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 0 again i'm in the u.k. the spread of the virus has picked up pace with more than 2 and a half 1000 people now infected on the pandemic also appears to be having a negative impact in other ways too because

a british claims that she was assaulted and racially abused on the way to work. 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 an anticipated event a phobia 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 today's society so i was coming out from the train station just money mount business usually get out through the barriers and who 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 know any chance is struggling my goodness we have a new 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 current us dropped quite exhibitor earlier this month the u.k. arts are 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 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 ice are across the pond in new york amount of news an asian person on the lecture just for standing next to her on one. coming. journey and it's not only open aggressions are either people who are turning up their noses to asian cuisine and culture and asian people in general are being avoided and 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 is 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 straight. people the idea that you've heard to any racial i.q. racialized. is something which we haue 20 out of the 2nd world war reports has been there's been a surge of anti chinese racism the consequence of the 'd labeling and a misunderstanding of the danger of this virus ringback. in this country for the lack of testing or 'd the lack of ability to mobilize society to maintain a system of health care and coordinated support reflects very badly on both the government and the government but i think essentially people work together and use racism as a tool to divide and rule 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 for the multi-faith are treated fairly and equally. well also in the u.k. dying patients they're being told to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones over skype it is part of new guidance for british hospitals the guidelines are reportedly designed to help medics stem the pandemic spread besides a farewell recommendations the restocking discouraged to family or friends from visiting critical care areas some find the new tips though 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 b.

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 led 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 herd 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 packed. 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 an individual feeling so 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 has turned out to be pretty 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 or on e-bay or the buyer claimed a laptop contained a set of instructions on the use and maintenance of an advanced anti aircraft system this document also gives guidelines to on how to destroy the system so enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it units in question is currently in the arsenal of the national army when it was 1st introduced almost 20 years ago and still serves as a defensive barrier for military personnel against low flying enemy bombers and also helicopters since miss ass can reach targets of up to 6 kilometers away the german defense ministry admits that might have been a mistake when trying to destroy its 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 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 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 these are defense systems. and that brings you up to

date just coming up to half past in the afternoon here in moscow we're back again at the top the. fed the super cool for sure that all those look like there was any news new york at the sun in china to start with the shirts of the chief we are stuck in a coffee and i missed these for a while for the for them or not and i do it is me going for bush but i will push the car so for the show going to get us know. you're going to answer. yes.
