to build an n.h.s. army staff face increasing pressure and abuse amid the burden. there's a lot of. questions left on and on we need all the hope we can get. here watching our 2 international bring your live news updates from our studios here in moscow welcome to the program. the number of coronavirus cases has now topped a quarter of a 1000000 pandemic has claimed more than 10000 lives worldwide with over half of those deaths in europe alone the world health organization has become the 1st trials of a possible vaccine but it will be an estimated 12 months before it's available.

russia has also started its own coded $1000.00 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 include comprehensive checks at airports as has been finding out. welcome to sherry and that's in the airport where fishelson been invited us to reassure the russian public that they are doing everything possible to prevent the spread of the good 900 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 front line troops the medics the needs and greet the arriving passengers in russia monitor them pass them analyze them and send them to quarantine 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 passenger's temperatures if they can a brood 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. 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 the bad feeling around for it

was revealed to be who'd been in contact with whether they'd be experienced ready with the infected. when passengers go through sheremeta for 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 and the medics here are going to check them 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 to say i've created the medics however 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. here you can see the microscopic images of covert

1000 is shown by russian scientists the country's health ministry says the 1st complete genome of the virus was deciphered from a sample taken from an infected patient a majority of russian kind of virus patients are being sent to moscow's common arca hospital r.t. discussed the pandemic with the hospital's chief doctor and he explained why the virus hasn't spread rapidly and russia. 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 the 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 gene 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. the u.s. secretary of state has slammed this information over the corona virus outbreak and my pump a are made clear who he thinks is responsible and has the details. as the united states struggles to cope with the outbreak of corona virus fingers are being pointed at russia china and iran for spreading disinformation related to the outbreak this is what we heard from u.s. secretary of state mike palm pale the issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this decision or mission or is it. 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 in an arc of a pita to do all the things that present trying to set in motion here no evidence has been presented to back up these accusations and now we've heard from the

russian foreign ministry which has made clear that these accusations themselves are distant from asia as russia is not engaged in any dissin from asian operations and such accusations are in effect dividing the global community and hampering relief efforts 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 now and then there can be any claims moreover it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational competing in fact u.s. leaders continue to hurl accusations such as donald trump continuing to refer to it as the chinese virus and to claim that china is somehow responsible for the outbreak because they hid information or somehow engaged in behavior that hindered

relief efforts now this is donald trump and the response to his words from chinese officials 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 as being a very big price for not. for not letting them come out everybody knows that. 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 world health organization. triggered strong rage among chinese people we express our condemnation the 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 haven't diffused despite the fact that there is such

a widespread call for united action to stop the pandemic british prime minister boris johnson has succumbed to pressure and finally ordered the closure of all pubs bars and restaurants after britons ignored official advice to stay at home it comes as the number of those infected with cope at 19 is over 3000 with death standing at more than 180 and counting in the country doing your agreement between the 4 nations of the united kingdom all the devolved ministrations we are quick to be telling. tele cafes pubs and restaurants to clues tonight as soon as they reasonably can the u.k.'s health officials are introducing new measures by the day to cope with the pandemic but 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 you. 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 in a 100 years final year medical students will often 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 days 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 in that i'm going to encourage a spread of the disease if the nurses and doctors are protected and that would in further 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 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 soon we're about to go into a shoot growing up here we're 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 home but china take the coronavirus with me definitely this this pandemic has. has it is definitely been instrumental in increasing the amount of racial abuse being. directed to the asian asian population. and while the government is busy with the n.h.s. and trying to stop people socialising polly boyko went to have a look at the u.k. supermarkets made a wave

a panic buying. things you only see global. story a pandemic is global as now there's no trolleys. was. just the one lonely trolley cattle. feed freaking out. people doing. feeling for bridge. not funny any. one to catch up till. begin section is really. based fish and chips anyone. and all the meat you could not buy something ever has become a con of all here at home searching to companies diet and now there's no meat and loads of very good stuff on the shelves whereas the bread. nothing. what do you do if you. think you don't know what you're looking for. nothing in the

frozen food section. oh no wait there is something there is a massive cheese for the checkout so i thought it would be a good idea to go to a chinese supermarket. i was wrong waiting to get a one in one out. what to believe them for the 1st take a one in one out of $100.00. you're on just about every month you know. why did you come here oh no did you think you would be smiling if you argue. with a 3rd day of total lockdown in france the police have issued more than $4000.00 fines for those who break or into rules the 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 about

. 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 lightly there are people who think they're modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact e.d. it's. friends went into a 15 day quarantine on tuesday 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 135 year us. ahead of the looming lockdown many persians packed their bags and started fleeing to the countryside many locals in the regions are now afraid the virus will be brought right to their doors he 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 on 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 or 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 at 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. local hospital we do not have an intensive care units and we have to create patients to the mainland concerned about the influx of people trying to escape the city so my sources have taken action in one part of brittany all rental accommodation has been banned or 4 islands until the end of march warnings have also been issued to prisons 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. paris. as israel battles the spread of coded 19 with more than $700.00 cases registered the country's caretaker prime minister and his party have been accused of using the crisis to hold on to power after inconclusive elections while hundreds protested the anti outbreak measures imposed despite a ban on mass gatherings. as you can see people were carrying black flags as a symbol of a black day for democracy for protestors were detained by police near the parliament building by shutting down the court system netanyahu has effectively postponed his own corruption trial parliamentary proceedings have also been suspended which opponents say stops them pushing for legislation against the prime

minister netanyahu is also under fire from and i surveillance activists are proving emergency powers to stop the coronavirus spread. the prime minister says the moves are essential to deal with the pandemic but opposition groups and analysts warn that they are undemocratic. we need to be very careful not to even approach the margins of dictatorship the 1st coronavirus dictatorship netanyahu lost the elections so under the pretext of fighting karuna he's close the israeli parliament ordered people to stay in their homes and this issue in whatever emergency decrees he wishes this is called a dictatorship the latter tweet has angered netanyahu his son who lashed out at the israeli historian we ask him and levy a columnist at israel's inherits newspaper if not you know who is indeed getting political benefit from the spread of the pandemic in the country. the 3 always 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 a 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 has no experience and was never prime minister was never a minister running this crisis so he gets a lot out of it no doubt. the afghan government's 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 i can concentrate all resources on tackling the coronavirus they

also say that afghan forces would move from defense to active defense status. well he read it there has been no decrease in enemy attacks today when struck 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. that all comes less than a month after the signing of a peace deal between washington and the taliban their grammont 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 of our couple was not party to the agreement we contacted the afghan ministry of defense to comment on the situation and we'll bring you any response we receive in all political analysts much stock or him believes the deal was doomed from the very beginning of the negotiations well be 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 big decisions in favor of the parliament at a time where the taliban have been trying to. do sure that as if. they don't want to talk to the students jewish and 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 going tree a very much exposed to. the proliferation of the super bowl. that's our roundup of the day's top news for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest as always thanks for tuning in.
