as the number of dead in italy from the corona virus outbreak overtakes china the army is drafted into deal with a huge buildup. after cemeteries are overwhelmed with the sheer number of victims. of this our building work starts on a new hospital on the outskirts of moscow as russia ups its efforts in the fight against the buyer and amid fears of panic buying we'll look at the supply levels in the capital. particularly sensitive subject lately toilet while. the budget any type of. this is 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

comes under severe strain. these cops who. just come and physically and verbally abuse me. grace. you're watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. first we start with the latest figures on the coronavirus the number of confirmed cases has now toppled 223-0000 worldwide but the death toll at more than 9000 but in another development the world health organization says it has started testing a new vaccine. the death toll in italy has now surpassed that of china topping more than 3400 the countries also recorded its highest number of infections detected in

a single day with almost 4 and a half 1000 new cases the prime minister says the nationwide lockdown may need to be extended beyond april the 3rd all the army's also been called into the northern town a burger moat to help with the backlog of confidence and video posted on social media shows trucks preparing to transport bodies the military moved in after the city cemetery became overwhelmed by the sheer number of dead which is located in the worst affected region of lombardy has seen at least 93 deaths and $4300.00 cases officials though fear 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 have been highly infected themselves at least 2629 have tested positive for the virus since february and that represents 8 percent of all cases in the country but it's not only workers under pressure but the whole health care system there's an increasing lack of staff and

equipment are not anough lifesaving ventilators or face masks while some retired 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 further. the situation is really dramatic and there are 8 percent of workers who are able center over all cases and are workers who are and fact and there is nothing we can do because we have a shortage of medical personnel and it be our help healthy in the sense that they can are capable of who are can and they don't show symptoms that incapacitate them

in some way and that's the only option otherwise the death toll will continue to rise we don't know how many people are infected because we are only testing people who show symptoms and actually severe symptoms should definitely be efficiently more tasks the problem is that they do not have the resources to do so so they're desperately asking for help from the european union and from european partners that's not only way to really fight the disease is by testing as many people as possible. russia has registered almost 150 coronavirus cases most are in moscow the authorities are gradually implementing stricter measures to prevent the mass spread of the virus elsewhere among the action 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 also be temporarily closed from

march 23rd and gatherings of more than 50 people have been banned as the outbreak began moscow dedicated a brand new hospital just to treat coronavirus patients so the authorities are planning a hospital town just outside the capital all of its own sewer and water filtration systems and its own small part of countryside and an exclusion zone. in all the moscow mayor's office has warned about misinformation spreading online about the pandemic and the measures to contain it this includes post claiming the russian capital will go into total lockdown with shortages of essential products in the shops some chains say they have enough supplies to last at least 8 weeks simply the most popular items that are currently being ordered by some russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public that grocery stores will not close down have checked out the situation at a 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 pos of europe's of 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 cool apocalypse shopping carts pre-selected bundles over essential goods for about $45.00 per cause 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 end a very large school is still to itself. 1st 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 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'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 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 or mean like chicken or turkey more expensive mead like before you pour 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 about whatever whatever m.t.v. . show that we've just seen well they will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now if 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 dissin from ation around the virus as well the 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 some how to draw crimean sources you know there's well accusations against russia over disinformation and fakes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and take themselves let's take a look at the presumption of innocence there argues emotions you know average with no evidence there can be trained that. it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational complaining result in you know a new era report claims russia is sowing panic and anger in the west over the coronavirus 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 languages and eastern civilizations and paris bernard

rescue believes it's wrong to blame russia for baseless claims. it looks very. funny in a certain sense because. western media has a new western governments their french government especially peace between because i'm basing friends are so ridiculous in their in their own way they take heed to the qur'an have interests in it be demure from the very beginning so day to day they may defeat you and know their i.q. seeing russia and georgia. is it is not due only country with. which ask questions about the origin of the epidemic and. behavior of the different governments so it's just ridiculous to. treat russia as derisive of fault of teams. we are witnessing all over the world

now over to the us where donald trump has announced he's invoking wartime powers to force and history there to tackle co bad night. will be invoked in 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 most sacrifice together because we are all in this together and will come through together. meanwhile connecticut has become the 6th state to postpone its primaries amid the outbreak of the democratic national committee has issued a warning that has to changes to the process may result in penalties are to scale up 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 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 and this is a travel and limits social gatherings to no more than 10 people by making shared sacrifices in 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 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 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 if 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 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 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 us democratic primary race is now officially down to just 2 candidates bernie sanders and joe biden as after hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard dropped out and threw her support behind the former vice president who is now the clear front runner. now after tuesday's election it's clear that democratic primary voters have chosen vice president joe biden to be the person who will take on president trump in the general election so today i am suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to vice president joe biden in his quest to bring our country together and although i may not agree with the vice president on every issue i know that he has a good heart and he's motivated by his love for our country and the american people shortly after the announcement by monday and cabbage for her support health if

found herself thrust into the spotlight last year when hillary clinton accused her of being a russian asset rejected the allegations and sued the former secretary of state 38 year old politician enter the race for the democratic ticket in february of last year and was the last woman standing. across live now to daniel shah professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university of new york for more analysis on this now do you think that we can pretty much safely say at this point that joe biden will be the one getting the nomination i'm not so. early supporter ready ready. but it's all it's going to go 'd down fighting so i don't think even though it's also you know disturbing. you can say that this is over. how do you think that the ongoing covert 1000 crisis has influenced the primary race many of the states have actually delayed their primaries and we've seen some short turn

up on others. you know most of the press. will have to work the most are clearly of in are afraid to go out. if they have children you know the old. 'd 3 so clearly being primary is in crisis in the sense. why do you think gabbert went ahead and did put her support behind biden even though in the announcement she did say that she doesn't agree with all of his policies it is extremely disappointing from an insane period was an progressive perspective because tell c garrard a woman of color with a heritage well and truly indian or in another column in this country samoan islands who represents a communist people hawaii and is so clearly critiqued us foreign policy i think a lot of people high hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical incident perry was candidate so to see her fall in line with joe

biden in command joe biden was clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of u.s. foreign policy. in so many negative things about you say i was from and was was clearly very disappointing. at this point by really does seem to be the chosen one by the democratic establishment do you think that the scandal upper hunter biden's dealing in ukraine his son have any way harmed his canada say at this point no we saw the different factions of the ruling class cond to go there against bernie sanders is not really a pro joe biden impulse by the ruling class in the ruling sectors of the democratic party these factions are completely inside of bernie sanders and everything that he represents for the common people of working people here press people of the us so we saw how quick they called for their own unity in the face of this strong bernie sanders move which is bigger than the senator from vermont is really

a movement there will continue regardless of the result of the primary what do you think would be a better nominee that would be able to take on trump biden or bernie sanders. well really from the perspective of working people in oppressed people across this country if biden is the nominee is a choice between tweedle dee and tweedle it's a choice is really like picking your poison if you will 'd so bernie sanders was the real hope for 'd the simple people the humble people of the united states it was nobody's fault at this point biden does have so many delegates and we've heard from the sanders camp that they're thinking about their whole campaign do you think we're going to see him drop out or is the fight going to continue. where bernie sanders said directly was there right now his job is to continue to fight i mean is this pandemic to the interests of working americans to be the voice that he's always been so again this is bigger than just a primary though there is

a ton of holding vested in this primary in a bernie sanders victory this is a movement for universal health care in for all the rights that poor people should have in this country for a u.s. foreign policy that is diametrically opposed to what trump inviting him but i mean the ruling class represents so this move is going to continue to fly not just in the electoral arena arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the u.s. daniel shah professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university of new york thank you for your time and your comments. in the u.k. the spread of the corona virus has picked up pace but more than 2500 people now infected and the pandemic also appears to have having a negative impact on people's behavior a british tourist claims she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to work are to shot edwards dashti 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 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 abused. just experience something that really opened my mind with today's society so i was coming out from the train station 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 for 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

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 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 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 iceberg across the pond in new york amount of news an asian person on the lecture just for standing next to her on one. big. journey 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 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 h.r. . the coronavirus epidemic a sort 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 i.q. racial. is something which we hope when all of the 2nd world war well our record has been that in a surge of anti chinese racism the consequence of the 'd mis labeling in the midst . of this. ringback country for the lack of total. 'd lack of political to come to mobilize society to maintain 'd a system about health care and automotive support reflects well partly on the government and the government but i think you censure the people work together and don't use racism as a tool to divide and rule a much more equal the administration comes on to quality to make sure both the stock at work. which are more the more people are treated equally.

don't forget over on our website you can check out the latest article by renowned slovenian philosopher as leverage act on the threats that cover 1000 poses to our way of life at online now party dot com. dying patients are being told to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones over skype as part of a new guideline for british hospitals there were poorly designed to help medics stem the pandemic spread and besides the farewell recommendations the police 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 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 there to treat sick people and it is really sad it is really probably only going to be confined to people only i.t. you we have got to look at you 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 best left to the clinicians they're the ones who are in charge of the treatment you're looking at 60000 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 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. now if all the stories have been quench your thirst for news head on over to our website dot com for countless articles and
