we choose to look for common ground. russia starts trials for a potential corona virus vaccine the country has also rolled out new measures to curb the spread of we visit a moscow airport. there are 3 layers of good will control the little ride the passengers. there's the infrared camera there's a thermal camera and the passenger's temperature as they get a brewer to the plate. as the number of infections surges in the u.s. the secretary of state points the finger at russia accusing it of spreading false information. last orders in the u.k. the prime minister orders the closure of all pubs and restaurants while working around the clock to treat 1000 patients complain of pressure and abuse. there's

a lot of. questions left on. we need to the help we can get. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is an international certainly going to be with us. the number of coronavirus cases worldwide has now reached more than 2 170000 the pandemic has claimed more than 10000 lives with over half of those in europe meanwhile the world health organization says at least 20 possible vaccines are being developed in a massive global effort. russia is one of the countries to have started trials of a potential covert $1000.00 vaccine the country has $253.00 confirmed cases which

is relatively low officials say the strict measures taken early on appeared to be working so far they include comprehensive checks at airports is are you have what to find 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 cool's i was here last a month ago when strict travel controls just came into play i don't have for memories i did up in quarantine for almost 3 weeks. sanitation here is on steroids the code in the 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 that 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 society specially she's thermal cameras on board they walk through the aisles planes you miss cameras a passenger seat is a passenger's a healthy as 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 plane. they gave us mosques 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. this is the baggage claim area they've just passed passport control at this temperature has been taken 3 times 3 times already they have been routed through it was revealed who've been in contact with whether they be experienced ready with the

infected. when passengers go through sheremeta time and they complete a form indicates a passport data phone number and address we check their flight 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. they could advise them 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. 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 who. the virus is technically known as sars c o v 2 this is how it looks under an electron microscope the image was provided by

scientists at nova sibierski they have deciphered the complete genome of the molecule in the used a sample from a patient suffering from 1000 of the disease which is caused by the virus for the majority of russian coronavirus patients are being sent to moscow's. hospital r.t. discussed in the pandemic with hospital's chief doctor he explained why the virus has spread relatively slowly here in russia. the most dysfunctional situation in moscow is very open we get constant updates on the overall situation which are 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 are typically 37 in order 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 in corn. 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 season italian style response then it won't end until september as. the u.s. secretary of state has accused russia of spreading false information over the coronavirus pandemic artie's gillum up and has more. 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. issue a decision from ation is there any particular locus for this decision or mission or is a diffuse it's pretty diffused unfortunately but we've certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran for their coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing and are to the to the to do all the things the president 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 just information 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 as well accusations against russia disinformation and paix about the coronavirus spread in europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and create themselves let's take a look at the presumption of innocence here is their occupations you know an avid institution out of them there can be any clean dashing you know it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational can 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 started and certainly the world is paying a big price for what they did in the world is paying a very big price would 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 nor the correlate with. with the decisions of the world health organization. vision triggered strong rage among chinese people express condemnation the resoundingly demand of the global community seems to be for a united international effort to defeat covert 19 and to 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. you now hear from ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war joining us from toronto can thanks as always for being with us here on international. so my pompei all secretary of state mentioned that russia china and iran claiming that they are spreading disinformation what is he basing this claim on do you think i mean in this global pandemic we're kind of all in this together. i have 2 things to say xan 1st when trump was campaigning in 2016 he promised to generate better relations with moscow and beijing but now it's 2020 and trump has discovered that the easiest most least controversial way to deal with a problem in the us is simply to blame that on russia or china and that's what he's

doing and of course he knows the mainstream media will echo everything he says secondly. came into office at the very end of the period when the us was the only superpower in a uni polar world. that's uni polar world ended in 2015 when russia entered the syrian war on the side of it's the syrian government and foiled an attempt by the us for regime change in that country and since then russia china iran have been rising powers and a multi-polar world but mr make america great again is unhappy about that and he he doesn't mess any opportunity to take pot shots at those 3 countries because he regards them as adversaries of the empire which is declining relatively to those 3 countries and even though those countries make

a clear time and time again that they don't want to be adversaries they'd rather be partners but that's not how the u.s. operates. it is adversarial and it is dangerous as you point out so clearly there have been shortcomings in the way trump and his administration have dealt with vis a particularly crisis most crucially the lack of testing in the united states do you think claims about this information are a distraction against his own ineptitude in this case. absolutely i do. while the whole world's been looking at without admiration at the way socialist countries such as china and cuba have handled this pandemic. the us administration has been exposed completely as an apt in dealing with the corona virus the very 1st thing that trump did was to racialize the pandemic by

labeling at a chinese virus and blaming the chinese for creating the problem but actually while the chinese worked very hard and undertook many measures including the huge quarantines building brand new hospitals in days and actually for the whole world provided a service they slowed down the pandemic us did not take advantage of that of that slowing down of the spread of the virus instead it decided to do nothing it didn't test it didn't produce a protective equipment even for its own frontline workers it didn't produce ventilators it didn't create extra capacity and when they when he finally got around to closing his borders it was too little too late it was basically shutting the door after shutting the barn door after the horse had bolted on the other hand . the that the chinese and the cubans have not only contained the

pandemic in their own countries but they've actually offered help to other countries such as iran and italy and so. as as your newscast has indicated people in russia the medical staff and russia are looking to the chinese example to emulate to control this pandemic rather than looking at the us because the us response has been completely and that. why is washington trying to create a conflict. church surely has more pressing matters that they can deal with currently other than trying to i guess create trouble where there is not. well the u.s. . is considers itself to be an exceptional country they have they are and in international affairs a rogue state they're looking for conflict. to create conflict number one because

it is very profitable for their war industries to create these kinds of conflicts and they're looking for conflict in order to. in order to. put down their their what they see as their possible rivals in russia china and iran. it's a it's a sad situation but that's how the empire is acting all right ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war hopefully as this crisis continues you'll come back and talk to us as we try to cipher thanks for being with us here in our international my pleasure. all right italy has recorded its highest single day increase in deaths due to cova 1627 people passed away on friday bringing the total to more than 4000 and a large scale loss of life has put a strain on funeral homes and one of the worst hit provinces some mccrimmon toria

have said that they may not even be able to take any more coffins due to overcrowding. and obviously this situation creates an abnormal amount bringing us to an emergency phase making us very likely to hold for a few days in order to be able to recover some space. for us to use our premises dedicated for the final farewell as you can see this farewell room has become a provisional space. meanwhile as italy remains in lockdown soldiers are patrolling the empty streets of palermo in sicily they were deployed to help local police other cities and regions are also considering calling for army patrols robert. infectious disease specialist says the lockdown needs to continue to prevent a full blown catastrophe. epidemic is a dramatic and we are facing a very big epidemic we should keep very strict measures. down

in order to reduce the spreading the virus at the same extent that in the center. and in this one the pocket of it so you have to remember that is pressuring the north the reason a shortage of. such as a physician nurses able to face at these that demi very few infectious disease expert our available now with the and that is a whole so that the very a considerable number. has been with them in the in the not working optimistic view. defective it day by day. constant percentage it could easily have been new cases the respect of the total number of target our goal is to reach as soon as possible the level 'd

below 10 which means that the transmission has a celebrated that and we can look at that if you share it with a little more hope. british prime minister boris johnson has ordered the closure of all pubs clubs and restaurants after people ignored official advice to stay at home this comes as the number of those infected with over 1000 is over 4000 with deaths standing at more than $180.00 and counting in that country. during your agreement between all the formations of the united kingdom all the devolved administrations we are quick to be telling tele cafes pubs and restaurants to clues tonight as soon as they reasonably can. u.k. health officials are introducing new measures to cope with the pandemic with the health secretary using a wartime slogan. we are writing to have

a 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 a nurse have asked former colleagues who have less than the left in the last 3 years to really register 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. the appropriate p.p. it be the protective equipment it's like mosques 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 to 5 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 people 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 would in further lower the starving levels. reza of the health worker we just heard from unfortunately also says that she was assaulted and racially abused recently on her way to and over time at night shift out of nowhere and just elbows my ring and pushes me to the side and then the female partner came from the right hand side who then started screaming racial abuse saying at least where

whites you effing see and i code my nursing idea and i showed it said look i'm a nice we're nasty and we're about to go into shit 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 back to china to who hires me definitely this this pandemic is i'd say it has it's 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.'s supermarkets amid a wave of panic buying. things you already see. there's no trolleys. just the one lonely trolley. freaking out. people. queuing for bridge. one. section is pretty. basic fish and chips and one. and all the meat but something ever has become a common here ever. and now there's no meat and stuff

on the shelves whereas the bread. nothing. what do you do. nothing in the frozen food section. oh no wait there is something there is a massive for the checkout so i thought it would be a good idea to go to a chinese supermarket. i was wrong this way to get. them to believe them for the 1st ok. did you think you would be. friends is a nationwide lockdown and police have issued more than 4000 fines for those who break quarantine rules the number of coronavirus deaths in the country has jumped

to 459 and as people continue to breach of the lockdown the french government has accused citizens of not taking the situation seriously enough. when i see people still going to the pub 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.t.s. france went into a 15 day quarantine on tuesday people are only permitted to leave their homes for specific reasons for example buying basic necessities or helping a relative anyone caught leaving without a written explanation is fined $135.00 euros. well before the lockdown took effect many persians packed their bags and fled to the countryside but many locals in the regions are now afraid the virus will be brought right to their doors are to show the bensky 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 prisoners 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 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 of supermarkets run sacked 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 have to vie create patients to the mainland concerned about the influx of people trying to escape the city some authority said 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 journey the country's director general of public health has warned an extension will be very likely necessary show that. paris. the world's biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide the german company built more than 10000000 vehicles last year c.e.o. herbert decent explained the move. given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts applies to a plunge production is to be suspended in the near future factories operated by a group bronze volkswagens decision follows similar moves by other car manufacturers toyota b.m.w. renault and others have shuttered their plants and during the global health crisis in the e.u. alone the sector is responsible for around 14000000 jobs. in the pandemic is

economic costs of what's taking place in the world economy right now 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 and that has a for me i will be back with more news of the hour and this is art international quite have with. us. each simulating civilization will 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 simulate that once rather than known simulated ones and conditional not argued we
