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. as it really remains on lockdown soldiers been patrolling the streets of palermo insisting they were deployed that see how local police other cities and regions of also considering calling in such army patrols the crowd and infectious disease specialist says of i'm not down and needs to continue to prevent a full blown. the epidemic is a dramatic and we are facing a very big epidemic we should keep very strict measures. down in order to reduce delivery still spreading the virus at the same extent that in the central banks in the in this one part that of so us remember is

pressuring the north the reason a shortage of 1st shown such as a physician nurses able to face of these that demick very few infectious disease expert our available are now a day and that is a hole so the fact that a considerable number of health care worker has been contaminated and they are not working optimistic view is a defective that day by day that he's a constant percentage of the result of the new cases in respect of the total number of our target our goal is to reach as soon as possible the level all below 10 which means about the transmission as the. celebrated that in weekend look it did if you share it with a little more whole. prisons paid tribute to the

doctors and nurses on the front line of the battle against the deadly virus applause was heard from balconies across the capital on friday night. over 12600 cases have been confirmed in france 450 that all regions are now thanks to despite a nationwide lockdown meanwhile the police officers who were enforcing that. they have their own safety concerns there even threatening to strike all of these he reports. as millions of people in from own saw in confinement there is a core group of workers who are continuing the daily grind including police officers.

yet many continue to fill out these regulations despite hefty fines and the risk of being locked up in jail i'm not. going to give you. the authorities are tearing their hair out over france's citizens normal compliance with the confinement restrictions . there are people who think they're modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact. 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 but as they blame

people for not abiding by the rules the authorities themselves are being accused of not taking proper care. of those they placed on the frontline unions or fewest that the ministry of interior hasn't provided officers with basic equipment such as face masks so much so the biggest police union has warned its members will walk out unless such things are made available there is no reason why we should be victims of a government failure to plan we want to carry out our duties to their fullest but need to be able to guarantee our own safety if the police themselves become contaminated all strike who will monitor the streets seducer security offices police and other people who are. in the country who need to be protected all this farce does not distinguish between police medics and other citizens we're not even sure

that we police officers not potentially infecting people when we do our checks so we need mosques and other pretext quitting and to keep us safe and others. if the police get infected who will be able to keep the peace to morrow as force is quarantined drags along each day the list of what citizens can do is being tightened the police are cool part of keeping order here if they walk out or if an infection takes hold within the ranks phones could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 so much even ski r.t. powers. the world's biggest carmaker fox fagen is suspending production world wide the company which owns brands like skoda audi portion but 110000000 vehicles last year more than any other car producing given the present significant deterioration in the sale situation and the heightened uncertainty

going to be seen soon but i almost certain that millions have already lost their jobs and this shift 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. u.s. senators have been accused of exploiting their privileged access to information about the pandemic to make a quick buck that's after they sold off a large number of shares right before the markets plunged among them richard burr head of the intelligence committee who sold stocks with up to $1700000.00 but he denies accusations of foul play amid calls for him to resign him or been as

a story. richard burr u.s. senator and head of the senate intelligence committee reassured everyone that the u.s. government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here's what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a public health threats like the coronavirus his words sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story here's a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the capitol hill club. she was. probably. even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact

that you may have to travel you may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to europe is essential or whether it can be done on a video conference why risk is needless to say accusations are now flying that richard burr used his capitol hill inside info to help out his pals financially you remember when the stock market tanked right and tonight stock market futures are pointing to a higher open after the biggest point drop in history the dow losing more than 2000 points today and lot of investors repriced that a little shy of the crash we start in markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow fears over the coronavirus leading to the biggest point drop in history today well richard burr was pretty well unaffected because he on loaded up to 1700000 dollars of u.s. stocks just a week before the plunge now he says this is not because of any insider information he had overnight solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the sale of stocks on february 13th put richard burr is not the only capitol hill do

from the senate and face prosecution for insider trading now all of them are saying they had no control over these investment decisions they're also emphasizing that this was just good luck they had no insider knowledge well looks pretty bad especially for senator burr and laughlin who are pretty well connected of course senator byrd the chairman of the senate intelligence committee he was privy to you know secret briefings on the coronavirus and what the response to the coronavirus was going to be and how bad it might be all of that would be a big problem for him as for the senator from georgia she has a nother problem and that her husband is the chairman of the new york stock exchange presumably pretty well connected and she's on a committee that oversees the health industry the bigger picture here is that we have public servants we have members of congress who are using their power and position not only in stock trades the problem is that the u.s.

government has too much. it is to give out so it's impossible for some of these people to resist a minute ashville crisis americans want their political leaders to be solving problems managing the issues and getting things done it seems like they're certainly doing that but on a more personal level caleb martin r.t. new york. u.s. secular state might pompei or has accused several countries including russia of spreading false information about the pandemic. issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this does it for missionaries or diffuse is pretty diffused unfortunately but we've certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran but there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing an activity to to do other things at present trying to set in motion here because there's well accusations against russia for disinformation and takes about the coronavirus present in europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves let's take

china and cuba have handled this and. the us administration has been exposed completely as an apt in dealing with the corona virus trump has discovered that the easiest and most least controversial way to deal with a problem in the us is simply to blame that on russia or china. so to come if you're looking forward to a binge watching lots of shows stirring quarantine you may be in for a disappointment while they both are explains and even.
