vaccine trials the country does have $253.00 confirmed cases which is relatively low compared with the west but officials point to the strict measures taken early on to prevent the spread they include comprehensive checks at airports as my god has been finding out. 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 covert 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. here the frontline troops the medics that need and greet the arriving passengers in 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. it was a slow science haitian specialists use thermal cameras on board they walked through the aisles pointing those cameras of 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 passenger's temperature is it taken abroad the blade. the more they give us mosques which is good we also have to feel out of for i don't know what's happening next they have checked us with thermal cameras i think they're doing the right thing. after jet this is the baggage claim area they've just passed passport control at this 3rd the temperature has been taken 3 times 3 times already they have been

robbed for it was revealed to be who'd been in contact with weather being experienced ready with the infected but when passengers go through sheremeta for terminal f. they complete a form indicates and possible data for a 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 and the medics here 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 sad clarity the medics however will stay at the stations day and night working in shifts while the infection may have slowed international travel to a trickle of its former self there are still thousands and thousands of people waiting to get back home. as the number of those infected with coded 1000 passes

3000 in the u.k. and over 180 deaths health officials are introducing new measures to cope with the health secretary drawing on a wartime slogan. we are writing to over 65000 nurses and doctors who recently come off the register recently retired or left the n.h.s. and saying that your country needs the n.h.s. and the n.h.s. needs to you. 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 drive with the slogan the n.h.s. needs new england's top doctor and nurse have called out to former colleagues who have left in the last 3 years to reregister to help tackle what they call the world's greatest health threat and 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 mosques and surgical gowns and the base there is 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 for 8 hours after they've been tested but the fact that we're not getting the appropriate p.p. and the government is addressing that and i'm hoping they do address it quickly because it's just and then going to encourage a spread of the the disease if the nurses and doctors are protected and that would

inspire their lower the stuffing levels. rise all the health worker we just heard from also says she was assaulted and racially abused recently on a way to an overtime night shift. out of nowhere some man just elbows my rig and pushes me to the side and then the female partner came from there the right hand side he then started screaming racial abuse saying at least where whites you effing see and code my nursing idea out and i showed it said look i'm a nice we're now as soon we're about to go into a shoot growing up here we're like 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 i hear the other day i was

just standing and someone told me to go home but china take the coronavirus with me definitely this this pandemic because i say has is definitely been instrumental in increasing the amount of racial abuse being. directed to the asian asian population all the tries to cope prime minister boris johnson has reassured the public in an updated conference that the u.k. can turn the tide on the coronavirus crisis 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 avoiding hubs are refusing to comply with the pub including the prime minister's father our correspondent shaadi edwards went to investigate whether stanley johnson refusing to give up his social drinking. most brits are treating coronavirus very seriously he took advice to stay at home avoid social gatherings

and avoid travel completely when the prime minister advised against going to pubs a sound that was fine we need people to start working from home where they possibly can and you should stick to pubs clubs. and other such social. well london's liquor lovers a waking up to a new how to have a free reality 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 sums going to sideline just told you not who he said before going to pubs but if i had to go to a pub i go to a bar so the p.m.'s down it's got to play for that one stand but then say use a bring up the storm online some of questioning why the prime minister very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong whereas all this is

saying well actually the situation has been blown up i mean larger than proportion . which creates a need for want to go to the pop. 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 to know them well tonight might be a bit more fruitful at least not at this pub because there's no one here and check out this right in the heart of london it's wine time brews o'clock and not as single or 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 a general u.k. lockdown 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 and we do know now that the prime minister boris johnson has just announced that all pubs and bars are going to be closed down in the country. with a 3rd day of total lockdown in france the police have issued more than $4000.00 fines for those who break quarantine rules a number of coronavirus deaths in the country has jumped to 372 and as people continue to breach the lockdown the french government has lashed out at citizens for not taking the situation seriously enough 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.

friends went into a 15 day quarantine on tuesday you're only permitted to leave the house for certain specific reasons like buying basic necessities helping a relative or walking a dog anyone caught leaving without a written explanation is fine of 135 euro. ahead of the looming lockdown many provisions packed their bags and started fleeing to the countryside on must but many locals in the regions are now afraid the virus will be brought right to their doors or to charlotte to win ski 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 want 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 homes to flee will your potential cure yours in some rural areas signs have appeared essentially accusing parisians of spreading the virus others are concerned that those scenes we've seen in 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 units and we have to fight create

patients to the mainland concerned about the influx of people trying to escape the city so much 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 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 fronts 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 show that even ski r.t. paris we're back with more of our coronavirus coverage in about 90 seconds time.

join me everything on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you.

welcome back the u.s. secretary of state has slammed this information over the corona virus outbreak without singling out any particular country gave clear hints after all the details on that we're joined live now by our team is caleb martin so caleb any surprise in who the u.s. is blaming indeed the implication from mike pompei o seems to be that somehow china russia and iran are responsible for spreading disinformation regarding the coronavirus this is what he said. the

issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this does it permission or is it diffuse it's pretty diffused unfortunately but we've certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran where there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing an arc of idiot to do all the things at present trying to set in motion here now the russian foreign ministry has been very clear that there is not any effort to spread this information on the part of russia in response to the situation facing the country in the world with the global pandemic this is the russian foreign ministry spokesperson. you know you guys this well accusations against russia over disinformation and thanks 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 if there are accusations you need evidence we've now added that there can be any claims morro where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational complaint now china has been very

critical of how the united states and particularly president donald trump have spoken about the coronavirus they have pointed to statements made by u.s. president trump blaming china for the outbreak in the confusion is simply not being accurate and not rooted in actual events and what has actually occurred this is trump's comments regarding china as well as a response from the chinese foreign ministry. if we had known about this a number of months earlier it could have been contained to that one area in china where it stood 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 using g.g. to william recently some u.s. senior officials have made insulting comments about china amidst the pandemic outbreak these comments know the correlate with no with the decisions of the world health organization. vision triggered strong rage among chinese people we express

condemnation resoundingly demand of the global community seems to be for a united international effort to defeat covert 19 and end the pandemic now it seems however countries continue to exchange these accusations and that international tensions have been diffused despite the fact that there is such a widespread call for united action to stop the pandemic. artie's kilmartin reporting live from new york thank you. the world's biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide the company which owns brands like skoda audi porsche and gotti built more than $10000000.00 vehicles last year more than any other car maker now volkswagens decision fall similar moves by other mass car makers toyota b.m.w.

and more have all shuttered their plants during the global health crisis in the e.u. alone the sector is responsible for around $14000000.00 jobs the pandemic is causing huge problems for the u.s. job market too with the country's unemployment claims seeing one of the largest spikes on record the u.s. labor department had reported several 100000 claims filed forecasts are dire with some predicting it will be millions of jobless americans by next week. thank you. well it's got all of this now with jeffrey tucker editorial director at american institute for economic research now is v.w. right to suspend production. they have to make this decision for themselves one of the problems as the global demand for their cars is. it is going to collapse and so you know this is this is a kind of decision of that the private sector has to make amends to some extent

also the responding to demands to is for social doesn't see an end and there's a lot of public pressure public sector pressure on private companies just to shut down which is in many ways tragic and i think there's going to be a lot of things to discuss after all this is over about who called for the shutdowns and why and to the extent to which there was actually in a kind of a rational calculation between the health risk and the obvious catastrophic economic costs of what's taken place in the world economy right now do you think that this decision speaks to the industry's view about how long this crisis might last. i think right now what they're trying to do is conserved resources i mean this is an exact example of the collapse and the velocity of money and this is happening at household levels and every business large corporations people try to keep electricity shut off just trying to stop the leak it right now because the the the financial calamity here is is truly unspeakable so you know

this is a matter of cutting their losses and trying to conserve resources long as they can until until this crisis is over. if you want to talk about a bright light about this i mean the fact is that right now the public sector all over the world and i don't mean to just single out american politicians but really all over the world in most parts of our over under immense pressure right now to get a little more rational about the relationship between the actual identifiable health risks about which we're getting more information every day and the financial costs which itself translates into immense. health risks too so there are the pressure is on right now for these for the leaders of the or older whether it's countries or our or in the united states towns and cities and states to to stop this does random

screaming at everybody to stop doing things and to start making a realistic assessment about what the data would actually indicate that they they should do the risks actually associated with corona virus and as the data is coming in we're getting a much clearer picture and it looks to be that the panic from weeks ago was not entirely as justified as as as was initially thought so what you have is these risk averse political figures british just shut down the world economy whatever the cost without any kind of clear conception of the alternative costs of millions of unemployed shuttered factories devastation in basically every sector of society that will trump of course has based so much of his presidency on the strength of the economy on low unemployment rates has all that been wiped out in a flash by this. well yes the economic strength has been

wiped out i mean the 1st quarter g.d.p. in the 2nd quarter you know we're going to be that we're going to see unimaginable declines people are talking about recession in depression but i'm not sure these are the right words and the recession depression is things you use for a cyclical behaviors mostly influenced by changes and money stock and things like this irrational exuberance and markets being corrected but that's not what this is this is this is a. massive global shock imposed by basically by the political class that is literally shutting down the capacity of society and civilization itself to function and it is a word for that i don't even think economists have a word for that but it's not recession it's not depression it's it's it's unimaginable levels of shock and the data are going to reflect that i can't even give you a clear prediction what the unemployment numbers are going to look like that we're

going to be seeing soon but i almost certain that millions of people i think your report said you know next week they lose their jobs and millions have already lost their jobs and this just cannot go on much longer without dismantling everything we call civilized life it just it just cannot go so the pressure is growing by the day by the hour by the minute for for the politicians to line up their decisions public policy decisions with the actual documented health risks which are becoming ever clearer as testing has is going on and we're realizing that the risks are are are not nearly as catastrophic as we're led to this kind of precautionary measures and where i hope strain to consider the fallout of these men david closures and the the mass panic that's being spread by public policy right now. we've been speaking

with geoffrey tucker editorial director at american institute for economic research thank you so much for a time in your comments. here and that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more head on over to our web site are to dot com for countless articles and interviews thanks to tuning in. you are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi yeah. i'm aware of it. all you like. you can never forget. was it really like to be inhaled because you would never
