8:03 pm
asked to return to work one of the country's leading public health experts claims the government's response there has been too slow. 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 and or extremist circumstances we could even ask them to help working even if they tested positive for corona virus still 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 to send our overall case and our workers who are and back to 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 here and they don't show symptoms that incapacitate them in some way and that's the only option otherwise and toll will continue to write we
8:04 pm
don't know how many people are infected because we are only testing people who show symptoms and actually sit near some towns should definitely be issuing 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 the only way to really buy the disease is by test think as many people as possible russia has registered almost $150.00 cases of a novel coronavirus most. of the authorities are gradually implementing strict measures to prevent a large scale outbreak russia has closed its borders to foreign nationals with some exceptions those who arrive from most countries though must go to corinth for 2 weeks schools will be temporarily closed from this coming march the 23rd gatherings of more than 50 people. also construction works underway on a new hospital complex outside moscow to try to treat coronavirus patients it's in
8:05 pm
a remote rural area and will be surrounded by a 250 meter exclusion zone is due to be completed by april 15th. meantime other news moscow's mayor's office has warned about misinformation spreading online about the pandemic and the measures to contain it that includes posts claiming that the russian capital will go into total lockdown anytime soon and shortages of essential products in the shops some showing the say they've got enough supplies last to. work out for about 8 weeks but includes the most popular items of the currently being hoarded the russian ministry of industry and trade is assuring the public that grocery shops will not close down off checked out the situation in one large moscow store that. 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
8:06 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 carts 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 end a very large store is stocked itself. our 1st stop is well good old soap and the situation here is quite interesting because all the cheaper ones they have they're 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. it's in abundance in fact let me show you one thing you can literally if you're a if you're in
8:07 pm
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 song saying essentially that the products the
8:08 pm
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 for me like chicken or turkey more expensive mead like beef or pork while it's gone. 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
8:09 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 that whatever oh whatever. of that we've just seen while there will be filled up there will be back fully stocked so right now it's lopes the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. he goes down off there with a shopping basket while with the whole world battling not only the pandemic would also wait for this information around the virus as well it seems the e.u. knows who's to blame and once again it appears it's the kremlin something dismissed right by moscow. the north is that it was because. of this information
8:10 pm
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 you guys there's no i well accusations against russia over disinformation and quakes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and make them sound let's take a look at the presumption of innocence there argues emotions you know average now and then there can be any training that the moral it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational campaign result of this new e.u. report claims that russia was so in power they could anger in the west over the coronavirus it also states the aim is to undermine public trust in national health care systems try to prevent an effective response to the break a story of brute rescue spoke to us about it he believes the allegations against russia are absurd. it looks very. funny in a certain sense because
8:11 pm
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 the coronavirus so. be demure from the very beginning saw day to day they may do a fake news and know their i.q. seeing russia and jaw. is there is not due only country with. which i ask questions about the origin of the epidemic and do behavior of different governments so it's just ridiculous to. treat russia as derisive of fault of teams dr who he we are witnessing all over the world elsewhere the picture over the us donald trump's resorted to rarely used wartime powers to force industry to tackle covert 19. will be invoked in the defense
8:12 pm
production act and just in case we need it the words think 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 will come through together meantime connecticut has become the sec state to postpone the democratic primaries because of the break but the democratic national committee has issued a warning to that hasty changes to the process may result in penalties as described kellam open reports about their. 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
8:13 pm
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 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
8:14 pm
by the 9th of june if a 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 it's the responsible thing is then to say
8:15 pm
look we can postpone this if basically they can postpone it will all the way up to late may have all the put all the remaining primaries on on some day in late may and that's it it's 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 and the latest on the democratic primary race is no down to just 2
8:16 pm
candidates bernie sanders and joe biden it's after hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard dropped out and threw her support behind the former vice president who's emerged now as 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 want to seem to appreciate the sentiment shortly after the announcement joe biden phone for her support the congresswoman thrust into the spotlight last year may recall when hillary clinton accused her of being a russian assett rejected those allegations and sued the former secretary of state the 38 year old politician entered the race for the democrat ticket in february
8:17 pm
last year she was the last woman standing we're heard from professor of latin american studies danny sure he told us the primaries are being weighed down by a climate of fear. it will have to work the most are clearly of say in are afraid to go 'd out it will if their children you know they'll go meet 'd their belly or free so clearly being a road primary is in crisis in a sense tells the root of the women of color who represents a carlos people hawaii in a lot of people high hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical in so imperialist candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in an incremental biden mill is clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of us foreign policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal health care for us foreign policy it is diametrically
8:18 pm
opposed to we're trying to be biting in it but i mean the really close represent so this move is going to continue to fight a notch is the electoral really arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the united states in the u.k. the spread of the corona virus has accelerated we can report with more than 2500 people now infected and the pandemic appears to be having a negative impact on some people's behavior to one british nurse claims she was assaulted and racially abused on a way to work. edwards daschle reports. and they can it's 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 there is a predictable evolves was less than anticipated of xenophobia towards people who are treating patients but it happened to the n.h.s. nurse who was allegedly racially abusing insults at just experience something that
8:19 pm
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 or come to work as a nurse. and these couple 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 know any chance is struggling my goodness we have to start new doctors new 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
8:20 pm
face straining we don't know what you're 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 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 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 are other people are now turning up their noses to asian cuisine and culture and asian people in general are being avoided the wiki pedia page has even been set up dedicated to covert 19 incidents
8:21 pm
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 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 stray bring out the western people the idea of any racial i.q. racial. is something which we hope when our or well our record has been the. only choice is racism or the consequence of the ready labeling of the myth or. ringback the lack of.
8:22 pm
'd good luck of. society to maintain ready a system about health care and automotive support. the government or the government but i think it's social that people work together and don't use racism as a tool to divide and rule and much more the administration's response of quality to local brokers were. which are more people are treated equally. here just to let you know over on our website r t don't call me can check out the latest article by the slovenian philosopher slavoj reject on the threat that covert 19 poses to our way of life right now as ever he gives his informed a level headed take on it if you'd like to hear it hear more from him she was going to say check it out and say salty dot com. this is sad time patients are being told to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones
8:23 pm
via skype and it's part of new guidelines for british hospitals they're reportedly designed to help medics stem the pandemic spread and besides the farewell recommendations the release document also discourages family or friends from visiting patients in critical care such sensitive issues then but some say they find the new tips distasteful we put it 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 when
8:24 pm
are you tying 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
8:25 pm
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 your returns to terms will keep your post suppose we can thank you for watching who hold of a home at the moment to give a small investor come on and kevin are in for the rest of the team have a very good evening.

each simulating civilization would be able to run using a tiny fraction of its resources. hundreds of thousands millions of runs through all of human history almost all. beings with our kinds of experiences with them to simulated ones rather than on simulated ones i conditional that there are good we should think fearful of that one of the simulated ones. when i came out from this hell i really could not even show heppy aether and sometimes even people were joking about something i would keep to myself if i was even a lecturing i feel guilty. and it's very probably do too cool for a normal person to go to spain understand you live with that all your life i want to punt and you will live with it we did not receive help like now when our
