12:11 pm
stay at home avoid social gatherings and avoid travel completely so when the prime minister advised against going to pubs the sound that was fine we need people to start working from home where they possibly can and you should stay in pubs clubs theatres and other such social. well london's liquor lovers are waking up to a new however 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 you sun'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 for that one stand but in saying use a bring up a storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is
12:12 pm
questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong 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 johnson on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate well we tried all day to find a single punter in london but so no they're well tonight might be a bit more fruitful at least not at this park because there's no one here and check out this park right in the heart of london it's wine time brews a clock and not single insight on the story is no different in this pop either not exactly having a whale of a time with all of my friends hardly the world's greatest pub crawl but with

meanwhile with the 3rd day of total lockdown in france the police have issued more than $4000.00 fines for those who break quarantine rules the number of coronavirus deaths in the country has jumped to 372 and as people do continue to breach the lock down the french government has lashed out at his citizens for not taking the situation seriously enough. 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 too 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 tuesday you are only permitted to leave the house for certain specific reasons like buying basic necessities helping a relative or walking your dog anybody caught leaving though without a written explanation is fined 135 euros head of the looming lockdown many

provisions did pack their bags and started to flee to the countryside on mass although many locals in the regions and i afraid that the virus will be brought right to their doorsteps challenged reports. 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 is pressure 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 you have small hospitals which are overcrowded in normal times stop go into 2nd
12:17 pm
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 of supermarkets ransacked by desperate shoppers who are poor 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 very create patients to the mainland concerned about the influx of people trying to escape the city some of sorties have taken action in one part of brittany all rental accommodation has been banned on 4 islands until the end of march warnings have
12:18 pm
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 even ski r.t. paris meanwhile over in the u.s. the number of coronavirus cases there has topped 10000 president from his laid the blame for china's door he's accusing beijing failing to share information early on something that china flatly denies it is caleb. the coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming the lives it's also threatening to take down donald trump's number
12:19 pm
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 in china where it 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 i would like to begin by announcing some important developments in a war against the chinese virus the chinese virus 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 some u.s. officials have made insulting comments about china amidst the pandemic outbreak these comments none of the correlate with science nor with the decisions of the
12:20 pm
world health organization. triggered strong outrage 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 did 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
12:21 pm
a look at iraq 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 count of poets hassan rouhani informs her efforts to fight the covert 1000 pandemic in iran have been seriously hampered by u.s. sanctions in 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 face huge hurdles of crippling us restrictions if the us government is going to assist other countries let's assume provide some kind of leadership role during this global crisis the 1st thing it
12:22 pm
should do is cause new home economic sanctions as the u.s. is applying against iran cuba venezuela and other. trees cause 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 but a 1st time during the open 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 difficult ration between try to pause and it up b.t.o. scientists working at the kind of vaccine and try to identify and share data on the origin back scene and also a great deal of cooperation between china and certain european countries for example and other countries outside the united states but what's wrong with trying to do is that of course the most important. thing on his mind busy is
12:23 pm
chances of this reelection campaign and then there's. this virus threatening rattling them and that's why he's holding the on the the picket. and shower the whole country with a cup of money but i think that it's not going to solve the problem because money doesn't stop the virus. now as israel battles the spread of covert 19 with more than $700.00 cases registered there the country's caretaker prime minister and his party have been accused of using the crisis to hold on to power after inconclusive elections defying a ban on mass gatherings hundreds protested outside the anti outbreak the anti outbreak measures 4 people were detained by police the parliament building by shutting down the court system netanyahu has effectively pursue his own corruption trial parliamentary proceedings have also been suspended which opponents do say

12:25 pm
many aging this crisis is in quite a reasonable way i would show if these were the right measures in the same time he benefits a lot politically and he does anything possible to benefit as much as possible from this crisis 1st of all because spreading fears is 2nd. and secondly because he as i said before seems to handle it and many people want to see him break now at the prime minister's office at least until this. crisis would be over and ought to lead to someone who is no experience and was never prime minister was never a minister running this crisis so he gets a lot out of it lo though. the afghan government reportedly ordered military operations to be redeemed against the taliban on thursday the defense minister
12:26 pm
raged the mission creep to declare a cease fire so we can concentrate all resources on tackling the coronavirus he also stated that afghan forces would move from defense to active defense. where he'd read it 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 well this all comes less than a month after the signing of a peace deal between washington and the taliban the agreement was reached after more than 18 years of war it included the complete u.s. withdrawal from the country a pledge to hold talks between the taliban and afghan government as well as a prisoner swap however kabul was not party to the dream and we did contact the afghan ministry of defense to comment on the situation and let you know when they give us a response meanwhile political analyst tackler hain believes the deal was pretty
12:27 pm
much doomed from the very beginning of the negotiations well bill responsibility for the given situation must be shared by all parties are the moment right from the beginning of the peace process the americans have been pushing the one government close to the wall on making them to dig decisions in favor of the palace at a time where the taliban have been trying to. do sure as if they. didn't they don't want to talk to the students to tuition it's a very delicately poised situation it can ease and it's quiet for a giant situation where the americans would have a deal with the taliban but didn't want to be an interim agreement on the future of the country which leaves a gun and 3 very much exposed to. a proliferation of civil war. and that brings you up to date so far today just coming up to half past 7 in the evening here in moscow more from us at the top of the.
