italy looks to extend its coronavirus lockdown that's as the army is drafted into deal with a huge buildup of coffins for some of terry's have been overwhelmed with the sheer number of victims in all infection spike among medical staff on the frontline. plus a new hospital for coronavirus patients is being built on the outskirts of moscow as russia brings in stricter measures to stop the virus and amid fears of shortages because of the pandemic look at supplies in the capital. particularly sensitive subject lately toilet paper while. this clearly enough for everyone. and a nurse in the u.k.

claim she was racially abused on her way to work as the country's health service struggles to contain the spread of the virus. and physically and verbal abuse we brace. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teach in moscow thanks for joining us this hour now 1st let's give you the latest figures on the coronavirus the number of confirmed cases has reached 227000 worldwide with the death toll at more than 9000 and another development the world health organization says it has started testing a new vaccine against kobe in 1000. italy's

prime minister says the country's lockdown may need to be extended beyond the 3rd of april as the death toll continues to rise alarmingly army has now been called in to the northern town of bear go to help move the backlog of cough and a video posted on social media it shows trucks preparing to transport bodies the military was called in after the city cemetery became overwhelmed by the sheer number of dead ergo which is located in the worst affected region of lombardy has seen at least $93.00 deaths and $4300.00 cases officials though fear that the worst is yet to come. it is a heartbreaking image striking with the force of a 100 or even a 1000 punches medical staff on the front line in italy had been a highly infected at least 2629 have tested positive for the virus since february that represents 8 percent of all cases in the country and it's not only workers under pressure in italy but the whole health care system there's an increasing lack

of both staff and equipment there are not enough lifesaving ventilators or face masks while some are tired staff are being asked to return to work in a bid to turn the tide against the crisis one of the country's leading public health experts claims the government's brought some of these problems on itself the problem right now is the supply of protective gear the government should have thought of this some time ago we already have a limited number of doctors nurses under extreme circumstances we could even ask them to help working even if they tested positive for corona virus they should be equipped with protective devices to avoid spreading the virus fun though. we are expecting that with this enormous demand on emergency departments you know one of the most critical things is to look after and. care for our medical professionals as much as possible with plenty of training and equipment most of the time medical

professionals will be protected really well i think what we have is non-presidential situation in italy where the intensity of the outbreak is so high the actually risk of infection from so many different directions that it's been really really hard to protect the workers in the way that we would want to what we expect to see in emergency situations we have emergency responses so i think governments will be pulling out all the stops to respond the best way they can. russia has registered almost 150 coronavirus patients most were in moscow and the authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to run the mass spread of the virus i've seen elsewhere among the actions taken by moscow is restricted entry for foreign nationals people who enter the country from abroad most going to quarantine for 2 weeks schools will be templar temporarily closed from march 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited as the outbreak began moscow

dedicated to a brand new hospital just to treat coronavirus patients so the authorities are planning a hospital town just outside the capital on its own sewer and water filtration systems and it's only a little part of the countryside as an exclusion zone. moscow mayor's office 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 storage is of essential products in the shops retailers have tried to calm concerns by releasing video of 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 ported the russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public that grocery stores will not close supermarkets are reporting increased demand for 2 categories in particular grains and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat because olive checked out the situation i don't large moscow store. 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 and shown 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 carts it was a one time auction but it turned out to be a clear success because those cards are being 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 school 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 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 one thing you can literally if you were if you were in a panic he says. situation if you are in a panic mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is the 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 because

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 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 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 that whatever oh whatever. show that we've just seen well they will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now it looks good the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. but the whole world battling not only the pandemic but a wave of distant from ation around the virus as well the e.u. believes it knows who's to blame and once again it's the kremlin something

dismissed outright by moscow we notice that it was because. 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 somehow to draw crimean sources in all the store as well accusations against russia over disinformation and fakes 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 are you need evidence proof no evidence there can be any claims morrow where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational comparing. a new e.u. report claims russia is sowing panic and anger in the west over the corona virus it also states the aim is to undermine public trust in national health care systems trying to prevent an effective response to the outbreak professor at the national

institute of language and eastern civilizations in paris been addressed believes it's wrong to blame russia for baseless claims. it looks very. funny in a certain sense because a. western media is a western governments their friends government especially because i'm basing my friends are so ridiculous in their in their their way day and day treated all decorum that there is. to be demure from the very beginning so day to day in day make the fake news and know their i.q. seeing erosion of jaw. is it is not do only country with. which ask questions about the origin of the epidemic and. behavior of the different governments it's just ridiculous to. treat russia as derisive of fault of teams. we are witnessing all over the world.

now to the us where donald trump has announced he's invoking the wartime powers to force industry there to talk with 19. will be invoking the defense production act and just in case we need it no words if you will know what it is and 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 in all 5 states and the u.s. have postponed their primaries amid the coronavirus outbreak are the democratic national committee has issued a warning that he still changes to the primary process may result in penalties artist and explains. 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 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 9th of june if the 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 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 will sensible policy than 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 be full 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 kaleb mopp and r.t. new york. still to come in the program that new u.k. hospital guidelines suggest dying people should stay confined to their loved ones over skype details on that story and more after this part. leg.

length. leg. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic developments only really engage these east i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back in the u.k. the spread of the virus has picked up pace with more than 2500 people now infected

and the pandemic also appears to be having a negative impact on people's behavior and british nurse claims she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work our. reports. and they 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 itself just to experience something that really opened my mind to days this nighty so i was coming out from the train station just minding my own business usually 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 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 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 state 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 coronavirus 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 ice far across the pond in new york amount of news an asian person on the lecture just for standing next to her on one. coming. so many and it's not only open aggressions are either people are now turning up their noses to asian cuisine and culture and asian people in general are being avoided a 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 discrimination it seems increasingly true that in times of crisis and stray bring out the western people the idea of any racial integration. is something which we hope when all of the 2nd world war well our record has been that when a surge of anti chinese racism the consequence of the 'd mislabeling in the midst. of this. ringback country for the lack of. 'd a lack of ability to mobilize society to maintain a system about health care and correlated support with less well partly government the government spends i think essentially people work together and use racism as a tool to divide and rule and much more important the administration comes

sponsibility to make trouble the stock at work. which are more the more people are treated equally also in the u.k. dying patients are being told to stay the alaska bias to their loved ones or skype it's part of new british guidelines for hospitals their report that designed to help medics stem the pandemic spread and besides the farewell recommendations the release document discourages family or friends from visiting patients in critical care however some do find the new tips distasteful but they show 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 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

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 a thorough roundup of the day's top news for now but i'll be back in about 30 minutes time thanks for tuning in.
