headlines this hour russia starts with 19 vaccine trials promising to get results by the end of the year countries also grow that a number of measures to curb the spread of the virus we visit a moscow airport to see what's being put in place. there are 3 layers of thermal control that were arriving passengers have to pass through there's these infrared camera there's a thermal camera and the passive just temperatures if they could a broad blade britain's national health service starts recruiting medical students and retired staff and a dr to build an n.h.s. saw me at the stuff i seen creasing pressure and abuse amid the coronavirus. there's a lot of. questions left on the nonstate and we need all the help we can get. 10000 coronavirus cases being reported in the us donald trump most. if the

plaintive chinese official saying that they failed to share information on the outbreak. so good afternoon welcome you're watching r.t. international issues come 4 o'clock here in moscow now the coronavirus pandemic has claimed more than 10000 lives worldwide and more than 246000 people have been infected so far the death toll is in italy is now supports a past that of china meanwhile the world health organization has begun the 1st trials of a possible vaccine but it will be an estimated 12 months before it's available. or russia has also started its own code with 19 vaccine trials the country already has 200 confirmed cases. visited moscow sheremetyevo airport to see possible

reasons why the number of infections in russia is relatively low compared with the way it's. welcome to sherry and that's in the airport where officials have invited us to reassure the russian public that they are doing everything possible to prevent the spread of the coup with 19 virus here in russia now personally i would have taken them at their word and left it at that but juicy cools i was here last a month ago when strict travel controls just came into play i don't have 4 memories i did up in quarantine for almost 3 weeks. sanitation here is on steroids according to latest studies the virus can survive in

various services for up to 9 hours so obviously they need to keep everything very clean. so here the frontline troops the medics the needs and greet the arriving passengers and russia monitor them test them analyze them and send them to quarantine they're just heading to their desks a new jet has landed from europe. the science haitian specialists use thermal cameras on board they walk through the aisles pointing those cameras at passengers in their seats if the passengers are healthy they can leave the plane there are 3 layers of thermal control that all arriving passengers have to pass through there's this infrared camera there's

a thermal camera and the passengers temperatures that they can abroad the blade. the they gave us masks which is good we also have to feel out of for i don't know what's happening next they're checking us with thermal cameras i think they're doing the right thing. so they are left this is the baggage claim area they've just passed passport control at this 3rd temperatures predicted 3 times 3 times already their final round for it was revealed to be who've been in contact with weather being experienced already with infected. when passengers go through sheremet of

a terminal f. they complete a form indicates impossible data phone number and address we check their flight and seat numbers give them a list of anti epidemic instructions and explain that they need to comply with these rules in the midfield are going to check when they're going to take their add their good advise then they're going to check through it. takes web samples and 7 may have to get tested after that one of these people are going to be said for sale . the medics however will stay at the stations day and night working in shifts while the infection may have slowed international travel to would struggle of its former self there are still thousands and thousands of people waiting to get back home. but again as the of there at moscow sheremetyevo airport now here you can see the microscopic images of the 19 virus shown by russian scientists the russian

health ministry says the 1st complete genome of the virus was deciphered from a sample taken from an infected patient the majority of russian coronavirus patients are being sent to moscow's common arca hospital r.t. discussed the pandemic with the hospital's chief doctor he explained why the virus hasn't spread so far hasn't spread rapidly so far in russia. most of. the situation in moscow is very open we get constant updates on the overall situation which are accurate the age ranges going up the 1st patients were aged between 30 and 35 people returning from that travels no it's the people who came into contact with them who are typically 37 and older so far we're not seeing an exponential spread of the virus this is no miracle its due to the tough measures in place in moscow relating to contacts and corn team i see several ways this crisis might go if russia follows the chinese example then i expected to end in may or

june but if russia sees an italian style response then it won't end till september . now as the number of those infected with 19 passes 3000 in the u.k. and almost a 150 deaths health officials that are introducing new measures to cope with the health secretary drawing on a war time slogan and i'm saying you'll n.h.s. need shit. we are calling on nurses and doctors who've recently left the n.h.s. to return we need you now as part of the national effort to fight coronavirus. as part of the plans to help britain tackle the crisis its national health service will try to recruit more than 65000 former health workers under the new dr with the slogan the n.h.s. niji england's top doctor and nurse of course acting former colleagues who have left in the last 3 years to reregister to help tackle what they call the world's

greatest health threat in 100 years also final year medical students will be offered temporary paid jobs. there are enough trained who are who are experienced to do to deal with with the issue with coronavirus patients they're bringing in student nurses they're bringing in retired nurses a lot of doctors and nurses were concerned that it wasn't. appropriate p p e e p s the protective equipment like mask and surgical gowns and bases that cover you from droplets the protection that you have when you're dealing with queries isn't enough you're literally just hoping that you will test negative i mean these these tests come back 3 days $3.00 to $5.00 days is fair enough if they come back 2 hours 8 hours after they've been tested but the fact that we're not getting the appropriate p.p.a.

and the government is addressing that and i'm hoping they do address it quickly because it's just been then going to encourage the spread of the disease if the nurses and doctors are protected and that wouldn't further lower the starving levels. well resilin health worker who just heard from there also said that recently she was assaulted and racially abused on her way to an overnight shift and told us more about the incident. out of nowhere some man just elbows my rig and pushes me to the side and then the female partner came from the right hand side he then started screaming racial abuse saying at least where whites you effing see and i code my nursing idea out and i showed it said look i'm a nice we're now soon we're about to go into a shoot growing up here with different different color. of the experience loads of different types of races and this fear and anxiety are causing people to

look for someone to blame and the asian the asian. people are getting victimized come into work and people here the other day i was just standing and someone told me to go back to china to run a virus with me definitely this this pandemic is. has is definitely been instrumental in increasing the amount of racial abuse being. directed to the asian asian population. now while the n.h.s. to try to cope prime minister boris johnson has reassured the public and the conference that the u.k. can turn the tide on the coronavirus crises within 12 weeks the british government has asked the public to do a range of things among them stopping unnecessary travel working from home if possible and also avoid being pubs however some are refusing to comply with the pub

ban including the prime minister's father our correspondent charlie edward stache he went to the gate where the stanley johnson is the only brit refusing to give up his social trick. most brits are treating coronavirus very seriously here to get advice to stay at home avoid social gatherings and avoid travel completely so when the prime minister advised against going to pubs the sound that was the final straw we need people to start working from home where they possibly can and you should stop. pubs clubs theaters and other such social. well london's liquor lovers are waking up to a new house over free reality but for others if you need a drink you need a drink especially if you played a part in creating the man behind this very strange change of sobering rules when you go to the pubs are not. the problems you think what you think your son's going to say let's just told you not who he said before going to pubs but if i had to go

to a pub or go to a bar so the p.m.'s does go to plan cheers for that one stand but in saying use a bring up the storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he drunk whereas others are saying well actually the situation has been blown up i mean larger than proportion what creates a need for want to go to the park after consulting with my father stanley johnson we are updating our coronavirus advice from now on anyone who developed symptoms must head straight for the pub. can we stop bringing stanley johnston on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate both we tried all day to find a single punter in london but to know them well tonight might be a bit more fruitful at least not at this problem because no one here and check out this right in the heart of london is wind time who is

a clod and not single boozer insight on the story is no different in this pub either not exactly having a whale of a time with all of my friends hardly the world's greatest pub crawl but with a general you can knock down looming it seems like pubs like this will be calling all stores anyway though it does seem that started johnson is the last man standing . in the united states the number of crown of i case is there has exceeded 10000 present from the playing china's door beijing failing to share information something that china flatly denies all the details. the coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming lives it's also threatening to take down donald trump's number one boast a strong u.s. economy at this point with the stock market going wild donald trump has decided to blame china if we had known about this a number of months earlier it could have been contained to that one area janet word

started and certainly the world is paying a big price for what they did in the world is paying a very big price for not for not letting them come out everybody knows that trump has decided to even give the virus a new name would like to begin by announcing some important developments in a war against the chinese virus the chinese virus that comes from china that's why this kind of language has of course infuriated beijing the country's foreign minister put out a strong message for those playing the blame game. recently so. u.s. senior officials have made insulting comments about china amidst the pandemic outbreak these comments know the correlate with. with the decisions of the world health organization. good strong rage among chinese people express condemnation now it's not just china disapproving of trump on this one the world health organization has asked donald trump to cut it out viruses no new borders and

they don't care about your ethnicity the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank so it's really important would be careful in the language we use less to lead to the profiling of individuals associated with the virus now for all those looking to blame china it's worth looking into their vast global efforts to stem the pandemic donating test kits to cambodia and planeloads of masks and ventilators to france and italy along with medical teams they've pledged to help the philippines spain and other countries chinese doctors are on their way to iraq and iran president xi called today health silk road pledging to get assistance where it's needed planetwide look at america's response overseas take a look at iran iran is one of the countries that is worst hit with its health services dangerously overloaded officials are saying that millions could die but yet iran is being hit with war u.s. sanctions donald trump is maliciously tightening the u.s.

illegal sanctions with the aim of draining neurons resources needed in the fight against 19 while our citizens are dying from it the world can no longer be silent as u.s. economic terrorism is supplanted by its medical terrorism in a let's it's a counterparts hassan rouhani informs her efforts to fight the covert 1000 pandemic in iran have been seriously hampered by u.s. sanctions on them to cease observing them it is immoral to that's a bully kill innocents cuba and venezuela are both in the early stages of an outbreak now both countries are going to fail. huge hurdles of crippling u.s. restrictions if the u.s. government is going to assist other countries let's and i'm provide some kind of leadership role during this global crisis the 1st thing it should do is cause no harm economic sanctions as the u.s. is applying against iran cuba venezuela and other countries because amends to state the obvious the virus does not discriminate we're all in this together so why would

anyone want to inflame international tensions or inflict economic damage to nations at a time like this caleb mup and r.t. new york. got a 1st time during the since the opening of all of this virus is reporting 000 s. that case compared to what happened in the west there's already a great deal of cooperation between china pause and it up b.t.o. scientists they're working at the kind of vaccine and try to identify the shared data on the origin is seen it also a great deal of cooperation between china and the european countries for example and other countries also the united states but what's wrong with trying to do is that of course the most important for those they all is well in its chances of this it will be election day and then there's. this virus setting rattling them

and that's why he's opening of the picket. and show the whole country with a couple of bali but i think that it's not going to solve the problem because money doesn't solve the virus. ok plans more to come in the bar state is sad because with paris being placed into lockdown many residents have fled to the countryside although they weren't exactly net put a chance will tell you why some are. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to get after the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out this day become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back now with the 3rd day of a total lockdown in france the police there if issued more than 4000 fines for violators the number of coronavirus deaths in the country has jumped to 372 and as people continue to breach the lock down the french government has lashed out at citizens for not taking the situation seriously and when i see people still going to the park to get together or heading to the beach or to open markets they seem not to understand the message from the authorities a lot of our fellow citizens are still taking this to likely. there are people who think they're modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact e.g. it's france went into a 15 day quarantine on change day you only permitted to leave the house for certain specific reasons like buying basic necessities helping a relative or walking your dog anybody caught leaving without a written explanation is fined $135.00 euros well ahead of the looming lockdown

many parisians packed their bags and started fleeing to the countryside on mass but many locals in the regions are now afraid that the virus will be brought right to their doors to each other to reporters. for many parisians the idea of a look down meant one thing only the holidays had come early and with that and those that could vacated the city before the confinement began but as parisians deserted their city or mass at their destinations they weren't exactly being welcomed with open arms i understand that presents wanted to go to the countryside but our ecosystem is fragile we must be careful we hold the present did not bring the virus read them specially since our hospitals here are small but regions who go to il durant despite being potentially contaminated do you think we have your hospitals no we have small hospitals which are overcrowded in normal times stop go

into 2nd homes to flee will your potential cure yours in some rural areas signs of appeared essentially accusing parisians of spreading the virus others are concerned that those scenes we've seen at supermarkets ransacked by desperate shoppers who are who are doing food could now be about to hit their communities some say that's already happened there are also concerns that if the forest does take hold in the regions health services will be overwhelmed and able to cope. there is clearly a risk of overcrowding for a local hospital we do not have an intensive care unit and we have to create patients to the mainland concerned about the influx of people trying to escape the city so much storage fees have taken action in $1.00 part of brittany all rental accommodation has been banned on 4 islands until the end of march warnings have

also been issued to parisians reminding them that they are not on holiday things may not be about to get any easier 15 days of confinement already felt like a lifetime to many here in france but it seems that they're going to have to buckle in for an even longer journey the country's director general of public health has warned an extension will be very likely necessary jollity. r.t. paris. now the afghan government has reportedly ordered military operations to be resumed against the taliban on thursday the defense minister urged the militant group to declare a cease fire so it could concentrate all resources on tackling the coronavirus he also stated to the afghan forces would move from defense to active defense status.

or here. there has been no decrease in enemy attacks today we instruct all our forces to adopt a more active defensive stance this means that there will be fewer limitations and wherever the enemy chooses to attack we will have the right to defend ourselves this all comes less than a month after the signing of a peace deal between washington and the taliban the green was reached after more than 18 years of war that included the complete u.s. withdrawal from the country a pledge to hold talks between the taliban and the afghan government as well as a prisoner swap however kabul was not party to the cream and we did contact the afghan ministry of defense to comment on the situation and we'll let you know what they say in the meantime let's talk to mushtaq the haim he's a political analyst and he joins a softer tone as always you're welcome thanks for coming on to our say what you make of this is really an indication of what the afghan government thinks of the u.s. peace plan was that a bit harsh. you know right from the beginning of the

peace process led by. mr kelly has had a significant role in a sense that the government was not part of the process rather the government and the students to do shoes were kept out of the whole process then the timelines when bills were being set up in. the final edition of the agreement that was signed in even. ambitious and that would be one government in a difficult situation thirdly the paladar have consistently been undermining the government and the legitimity illegitimacy of the current state of protests there has also meant that ease but still they have been trying to use the language that is in accordance with the spirit of the ongoing peace process rather than using the word attacking the opposition the insurgents the word is being used active the friends. unfortunately this is quite

a tricky situation there are news reports emerging from saddam brolin zabul where taliban have brutally killed up to 2425 the numbers are yet to be conformed to the avalon national security forces which shows that they are offensive against the avalon close's and that it has nothing eased down after the week of what it would be accorded reduction in while and so it continues and the of one government has finally given up on defense rather than they're going on offensive against the taliban so where does this leave the pay scale to think the still running from negotiations after this i mean would you predict fighting to perhaps continue for a few weeks and then everybody tries to find a solution or is it was this it was back to where we were. well that is sponsibility for the given situation must be shared by all parties are the moment

the americans have been pushing the of one government close to the wall on making them to take decisions in favor of the taliban at the time where the taliban have been trying to. to be sure that as if they don't recognize the current state and they don't want to talk to the state institutions it's a very delicately poised situation it can ease and it's quiet for giant but there are significant hoops attached to the whole process and the reason is that all parties have realised that there is no other option but a peace process that think is that all parties are doing the political brinksmanship and military brinksmanship in order to gain more territory on the negotiation table and have more leverage doing the interim afghan peace process that is in this size to be undertaken soon after the release of the prisoners or the prisoner swap between one government and the taliban it's very tricky situation

the parties have to take that is sponsibility otherwise going to facing a situation where the the americans would have to deal with the taliban but that won't be an intra of one agreement on the future of the country which leaves the country very much exposed to. to proliferation off the civil bought similar to 1988 remans that. was signed in geneva where the afghan side did not agree on a future course of action which resulted in a. very humorous and very bloody civil war during the ninety's after the russian redraw it from a monist yet it's a very complicated very delicate we appreciate your analysis to not much time as much time and again a political analyst thank you. and that brings this up tonight the sabbath back again and vasectomy.

i live live. live.
