11:01 am
to contain the spread of the doctor's. fees carpooling. just come in physically and verbally abused me for my race. hello there you watching r t international where she's gone 6 o'clock here in moscow now let's start with the latest figures from corona virus because the number of confirmed cases has reached 220000 worldwide with the death toll more than 9000 in other developments today the world health organization says it has started testing a new vaccine against 90. i would think prime minister says that the country's lockdown may need to be extended beyond the 3rd of april as the death toll there continues to rise
11:02 am
alarmingly the army is now being called in the northern town of bergen to help move the backlog of coffins there a video posted on social media to show trucks preparing to transport the bodies the military was called in after the city cemetery became overwhelmed by the sheer number of dead which is located in the worst affected region from body has seen at least 93 deaths and 4300 cases officials they fear that the worst is still yet to come. it is a heartbreaking image striking with the force of a 100 or even the fires and punches. meanwhile russia has registered almost 150 coronavirus patients most are in moscow the authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to to prevent the mass bred of the virus seen elsewhere but among the actions taken by moscow is restricted entry foreign nationals people who enter the country from abroad must now go into quarantine for 2 weeks schools will be
11:03 am
temporarily close to from march the 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited. reports of 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 time time to prepare to save lives as the outbreak began moscow dedicated
11:04 am
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 'd . authorities in moscow are trying to follow in the dragon's footsteps china's star 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
11:05 am
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 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 her rush to note is that it was because in the mountains of this information it's from outside of the e.u. among others also from russia or from providers reach are based in russia or at
11:06 am
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 that 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 letters to their grandkids the professor at the national institute of languages and eastern civilizations in paris. does say it is wrong to blame russia for europe's failures to prevent the coronavirus spread. it looks very. surely
11:07 am
in a certain sense because. western media is that western governments french government especially because i'm basically friends are is so ridiculous in their in their their way day to day treated all the coronavirus. to be demure from the very beginning so day to day they make fake news and know their i.q. using russia and george. bush jr is it is not do only country which. which asks questions about the origin of the epidemic. do behavior of different governments it's just ridiculous to. treat russia as to responsible of teams. we are witnessing all over the world.
11:08 am
now the moscow's mayor's office meanwhile has 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 to retailers they will try to come concerns by releasing videos of their warehouses some chains to say that they've enough supplies now to last at least 8 weeks this includes the most popular items that are being hoarded at the moment there i should ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public saying that grocery stores will not close supermarkets report an increased demand there for 2 particular types of products grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat at the moment with more on this is hugo his ego hit on if he went to a larger moscow still. panic buying has become one of the key manifestations of the coronavirus scare all over the world so now we've come to one
11:09 am
of my schools lard. retail stores parts of europe has shown jane 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 are 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
11:10 am
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 well any type of budget any type of skin there's clearly enough for everyone and i feel like a plenty at home 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
11:11 am
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 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
11:12 am
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 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 well 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. because donna theron moscow now over in america donald trump is announce he's invoking wartime powers to force industry to tackle covert night. it will be invoked in the defense production act
11:13 am
just in case we need it the words if you will know what it is in 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 meanwhile 5 states in the us have misspoken their primaries amid the corona virus outbreak however the democratic national committee has now issued a warning that hasty changes to the primaries process could result in penalties elem open 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
11:14 am
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
11:15 am
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 were just simply big centers for transmitting disease and it's the responsible thing is then to say look we can postpone this basically they can
11:16 am
postpone it will all 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. now over in the u.k. the spread of the virus has picked up pace there with more than 2 and a half 1000 people infected and the pandemic also appears to be having
11:17 am
a negative impact on people's behavior the british nurse now claims that she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work and would stash as the story. 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 of an anticipated is than a phobia towards people who are treating patients but it happened to the n.h.s. nurse who was allegedly racially abusing itself at 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 you're trying to get out through the barriers and to come to work as a nurse. and these couple who. just come and physically and
11:18 am
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 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 fire 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 screaming we don't know what you're coronavirus in our country he shouted i don't want your court of ours 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. arts are 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 carriers
11:19 am
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. case in the u.k. are just the tip of the iceberg across the pond in new york and none of these an asian person on the lecture just standing next to her and want. to leave. germany and it's not only open aggressions our people are now 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 mate entering countries a cautioned against actions that promote stickler or even discrimination in iraq the principles of our top story of i.h.l. the coronavirus epidemic a sort of
11:20 am
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 strain bring out the western people the idea that any racial like a racial thing is something which we hope when out of the 2nd world war well our record has been the. anti chinese racism of the consequence of the 'd mislabeling in the midst. of this war i was ringback. moved country for the lack of. the 'd lack of ability to mobilize society to maintain a system about health care and correlated support with less well partly government when the government nineties but i think essentially people work together and use racism as a tool to divide and rule and much more important the administration's response of
11:21 am
quality to make sure both the stock market work. which are more people are treated equally. also in the u.k. dying patients are being told to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones over skype it is part of a new guideline for british hospitals they are reportedly designed to help medics stem the pandemic spread and besides the farewell recommendations the release document discourages families or friends from visiting patients in critical care however some do 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 b.
11:22 am
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
11:23 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. now an old computer purchased on e bay by a group of german cyber security experts for just $100.00 has turned out to contain
11:24 am
very valuable information 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 ronnie barry. or the by claims that the laptop did contain a set of instructions on the use and maintenance of an advanced anti aircraft system the document also gives guidelines on how to destroy the system so enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it the innocent question is currently in the arsenal of the national army 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 and its missiles can target reach targets up to thinks kilometers away the german defense ministry admits though there might have been a mistake while destroying its old computers. the old computer is used for the
11:25 am
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 you're the laptop was really quite old it was running windows 2000 the data 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 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
11:26 am
ways of potentially country these are defense systems and that's how the news is looking so far this hour we're back with more full at the top of the. so she and i as a nation from which to us an investor but at the. grocery i say she's a mother for for you got bored of the trip improved for richer my p.c.p. i didn't do enough to try to accomplish my project for the. purpose. it was because of global was going to have to close to this incident you know why would you just give us have looks like

hi i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report day 7 day of the big walk down and of course as the saying goes when the going gets tough the tough make kaito cheesecake as you can see here. put together a delicious cocoa 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 stacy 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 era or in 1907 or 2008 because
11:30 am
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 i know everybody is probably stressed out there where stress like is not nice to have a pandemic unfolding around the world and it's not nice to see markets down 10 percent 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
