a heartbreaking image striking with the force of a 100 or even the fires and punches. russia has registered almost 150 coronavirus patients most of those remorse go the authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to prevent the mass spread of the virus as seen elsewhere well 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 the 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited as the outbreak began moscow dedicated a brand new hospital just to treat coronavirus patients city authorities are planning a hospital town just outside the capital and it will have its own sewer and water to water filtration systems and its own little part of the countryside too with an exclusion zone with tell. me while the mayor the moscow mayor's office has warned
12:03 pm
about misinformation spreading across the internet regarding the pandemic and the measures to contain it this includes post saying that the capital will go into total lockdown and there will be shortages of essential products in the shops retailers though have tried to come concerns by releasing video of their own warehouses some chains do say that they do have enough supplies to last at least 8 weeks this includes the most popular items that are being called at the moment russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public to grocery stores will not close the supermarkets are reporting increased demand for 2 categories in particular grains and hygiene products especially popular to among russians is buckwheat huge advantage of checked out the situation at a large store 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 so shown chain just to get an idea as to how
12:04 pm
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 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 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
12:05 pm
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. 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
12:06 pm
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 a symbolic cut it's not really serious but if i were to go all in and defy wanted
12:07 pm
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. shows that we've just seen the world they will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now it lopes the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. with the whole world battling not only the pandemic but a wave of this information too about the virus the he believes it knows who is to blame and once again it does seem to be the kremlin something though dismissed right by moscow we notice that it was because. of this
12:08 pm
information from outside of the e.u. among others also from russia or from providers reach are based in russia or a limit somehow to draw crimean sources lol you guys there's no i well accusations against russia over disinformation and takes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves let's take a look at the presumption of innocence is there argues asians you need evidence we've now evidence there can be any claims moral where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational complaint. anyway reporter new report does claim that russia is selling panic and anger in the west over the coronavirus it also states that the aim is to undermine public trust in the national health care systems which eventually might prevent an effective response to the outbreak professor at the national institute of languages an instance of lies ations and
12:09 pm
perish grenade through skin believes it is ridiculous to blame russia for europe's failures over the virus. it looks very. funny in a certain sense because. western media is a western governments french government especially because i'm basing my friends are so ridiculous in their in their their way day to day treated all the coronavirus. to be demure from the very beginning so they take it day in day make their fake news and know their i.q. zinging rush and george. bush jr is it is not do only country which. which ask questions about the origin of the epidemic. behavior of different governments it's just ridiculous to. treat russia as derisive. of teams. we are witnessing all over the world
12:10 pm
meanwhile in america donald trump has now announced he's invoking wartime powers to force industry to tackle cave igniting. it will be invoked in the defense production act 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 must sacrifice together because we are all in this together and we'll come through together meanwhile 5 states in the u.s. have to spend their primaries amid the corona virus outbreak however the democratic national committee has issued a warning that hasty changes to the primaries process could result in penalties what is called moppin has more on the story. 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
12:11 pm
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 in 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 at the d.n.c. is very happy to call out donald trump but their own political goals are not on
12:12 pm
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 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
12:13 pm
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 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 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
12:14 pm
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 to come over the next few minutes news u.k. hospital guidelines suggest that dying people should say goodbye to their loved one over skype we'll have a look at why yourself the. same wrong. to shape our disdain. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
12:15 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off 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. welcome back now in the u.k. the spread of the coronavirus has picked up pace with more than 2 and a half 1000 people infected and the pandemic also appears to be having a negative impact on people's behavior because
12:16 pm
a british nurse claims that she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work on t. shirt it would stash thick as more. 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 is that a focus towards people who are treating patients but it happened to the n.h.s. nurse who was allegedly racially abusing assault just to experience something that really opened my mind to days this nighty so i was coming out from the trees dacian just minding my own business you actually get out through the barriers 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 hospital for an
12:17 pm
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 our current 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 carriers of the virus your presence on the stand would unfortunately create hesitation on
12:18 pm
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 own one. coming. so many and it's not only open aggressions ari that 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 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 set 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
12:19 pm
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 hoped when our world war well our record has been the most. anti chinese racism or the consequence of the 'd mislabeling in the myth or. ringback the lack of total. 'd lack of ability to mobilize society to maintain 'd a system about health care and correlative support. partly government the government but i think you censure the people work together and use racism as a tool to divide and rule and much more the administration comes sponsibility to make trouble the stock at work. which are more the more people are treated equally
12:20 pm
. also in the u.k. dying patients are being told to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones over skype is part of new guidelines for british hospitals they are reportedly designed to help medics stem the pandemic spread and besides the farewell recommendations the restock human discourages family or friends from visiting patients in critical care however somebody find the need hips to be 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
12:21 pm
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
12:22 pm
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. finally this hour an old computer purchased on e bay by a group of germans cyber security experts for just $100.00 has turned out to contain some very valuable information because buried in its data was
12:23 pm
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 but they. claim the laptop contains a set of instructions on the use of maintenance of an advanced anti aircraft system the documents also give guidelines to on how to destroy the system so enemies wouldn't be able to deploy it while the unit in question is currently in the arsenal of the national army 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 its missiles can reach targets of up to 6 kilometers away the german defense ministry in response has admitted that there might have been a mistake while destroying its computers. the old computer is used for the fasces have all been decommissioned and sent for recycling with orders to raise or render
12:24 pm
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 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 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 is the new trap for
