premises dedicated for the final farewell as you can see this farewell room has become a provisional space but as dramatic as the situation may be there is still room for some positive stories because one doctor from the city of bergen who like thousands of his colleagues across the country are battling the disease recently became a father time. i was on duty in the covered 19 ward when my wife who herself had previously tested positive for the corona virus went into labor but i still tried to stay in touch with her as much so i could and i heard from her until the moment she was taken for a c section my friends and colleagues from the hospital she was at let me know as soon as my daughter anna was born they told me both she and my wife were right my biggest fear at the time was that my wife would have a respect crisis during the delivery and would end up in intensive care fortunately that didn't happen we were very lucky my little girl was tested for covidien 900 and the result was negative we will tell our daughter that she was born in

a very difficult time for europe but that she was holding out like a real warrior and we will tell her how much we love about this is the remains in lockdown so which is often frightening the empty streets and then i would cicely i have been deployed to help police and that the cities and regions are also considering calling on the river to qaeda and infectious disease specialist police and all dan does need to continue to prevent an even worse catastrophe. epidemic is a dramatic and we are facing a very big epidemic we should keep a very strict measures the whole lockdown in order to reduce the literary skills reading the virus at the same extent that in the center of things in the in the student pocket of it so you have to remember that especially in the north the reason a shortage of birth shown such as

a physician nurse is able to face at the zippy demick very few infectious disease expert our available now a day and that is a whole so the fact that a considerable number of healthcare work has been contaminated and they are not working optimistic. view is a defective that day by day there is a constant percentage of the increase of the new cases in respect of the total number of our target our goal is to reach as soon as possible the new level of below 10 which means about the transmission as the a celebrated that and we can look at the diffusion with a little more hope. elsewhere prisons have paid tribute to the doctors and nurses on the front line of the battle against the deadly virus of course was heard from

balconies across the capital on friday evening. more than 12600 cases have been confirmed in france with 450 dead origins and affected despite a nationwide all time french health system is under strain a lot of strain at the moment in a french she shared with r.t. france a statement from one medic who volunteered to work with corona virus infected patients . my 1st day in intensive care for coronavirus patients i won't talk much i'm tired 12 hours in close premises i want to share my feelings today i've seen terrible things i have never in my life seen such images of lungs i've seen people in critical condition are constantly on my feet because of everything that could take care of yourself take care of your family friends until everyone.

in one place offices and forcing a lockdown in france or threatening to strike they do claim that i don't have the basic equipment needed to protect themselves from the virus challenged pinsky reports as millions of people in france saw it in confinement there is a core group of workers who are continuing the day grind including police officers . yet many continue throughout these regulations despite hefty fines and the risk of being locked up in jail. was. given.

the authorities are tearing their hair out over france's citizens known 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 do you is that the ministry of interior hasn't provided offices with basic equipment such as face mosques 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. security offices police and other people who are. in the country who need to be protected all this parse 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 for equipment to keep us safe and others. if the police get infected who will be able to keep the peace tomorrow as force is quarantined drags along each day the list of what citizens can do is being tightened the police are a cool part of keeping order here if they walk out if an infection takes hold

within the ranks frogs could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 so much even ski auti powers. the economic ramifications of the virus is starting to hit major companies the world's biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide the company which does own brands like skoda and porsche build more than $10000000.00 vehicles last year given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants production is to be suspended in the near future factories operated by a group bronze well the decision does follow similar moves by other auto manufacturers toyota b.m.w. and fear terror among those who have shut their plants during the crisis in the year alone the sector is responsible for around $14000000.00 jobs but in the latest

episode of artes boom bust automotive expert the car coach lauren fix to tell us the auto industry will take a long time to recover from the difficulties caused by the coronavirus. for the auto industry of global basis we're looking at a huge impact with every single manufacturer pretty much shutting down production we're not just talking about high end cars but everyday cars we've already seen a huge negative downturn when it comes to china they're off by about 80 percent so far for the 1st quarter but that may change they're starting to get back on line but here in the u.s. we're looking at last year's sales 17100000 cars. is recommending and they're stating there somewhere around $14900000.00 we have not seen a downturn like this since 2008 this is going to impact a lot of us because if you look at the dow jones half of it is impacted by the auto industry either by a supplier or something that supports the auto industry so this is going to be a huge impact and it's going to go a long time for us to recover. i don't to be to doom and gloom here but we have had

gas after gas telling us we are already facing a recession maybe even a depression is coming will all of these auto manufacturers the giants will they make it out of this crisis or we could see consolidation what is going to happen moving forward. i think you're going to see some consolidation it makes sense that companies partner to share technology to share platforms to share drive trains everybody makes it to a leader turbo engine if more people start sharing that technology what that's going to do is allow them to make it personalized when it comes to the vehicle the features themselves so i think you're going to see a lot of consolidation i don't think we're going to see anyone going out of business but the impact to the stocks is going to be a long time to turn around there's also some talk about the auto industry wanting to delay the implementation of the u.s. embassy a trade deal known as the new nafta do you know what's going on there. yeah the u.s. n.c.a.a. supposed to start on june 1st but everyone's now off no one's working and so this

is a problem so they can't get the regulations in place so they're asking to push it back to delay because that's going to make 75 percent of cars being built here for north america using north american components which is good for restarting the industry but we don't have the regulations in place so they're asking to push it back just a little bit supposed to go in place june 1st and that all depends on this pandemic and how long it takes for us to start recovering. well the pandemic is starting to show up in the u.s. job market think is to with the country's unemployment rate seeing one of the biggest spikes on record the u.s. labor department has reported several $100000.00 claims being filed recently jeffrey tucker editorial director at the american institute for economic research warns that the global economy is under severe strain. because there were i don't even think economists have the start recessions start fresh and it's it's it's imaginable levels of of shock the data are going to. 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 have already lost their jobs and this shift cannot go on much longer without dismantling everything we call civilized life just 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 actual documented health risks which are becoming ever clearer as testing is going on. now u.s. senators have been a key piece of exploiting their privileged access to information about the pandemic to make a quick buck that after they sold off a large number of shares right before the markets plunged among them is richard burr he's the head of the intelligence committee and sold stocks worth around $1700000.00 but he denies the accusations of foul play and it calls for his

resignation more pain is more on the 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 is 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. bird even offered

some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you might have to travel you might 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 only the crash we stored in markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow here is 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 but richard burr is not the only capitol hill dweller to make some slick stop. market moves at just the right time. as into tam and sent to bergen private briefings amounts coronavirus weeks and then you know how bad it would be to tell the truth to him spouse adonis showing the public thanks we will find that she saw 1006 men talk before the phone he needs to resign senates a but should resign and prepared to spend some quality time with a federal grand jury that maybe there's an honest explanation for what he did if

there is he should share it with the rest of us immediately otherwise he must resign 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 he looks pretty bad especially 1st 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 the senator from georgia she has a no other 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 to my. goodies to give out so it's impossible for these for some of these people to resist amid a national 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 mop and r.t. new york meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state might pump a a has accused several countries including russia spreading false information about the pandemic. issue with this information is there any particular locus for this decision missioners a diffuse 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 all the things the president trying to set in motion here because there's the well accusations against russia

disinformation and takes 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 kids asians you need evidence with no evidence there can be any claims moral right it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational campaign earlier donald trump placed the blame for the spread of the coronavirus of china's door alleging that the situation would now be better if he'd known about the virus earlier the president added to that the world was paying a very big price for beijing suppose it in action joined in the blame game to accusing china of putting lives at risk by the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson took to twitter to lash out at those accusations demanding that stops lying you know to 2 that china's efforts had actually saved lives size in the world health organization and war activists can stone things that washington's accusations follow a long running pattern of blaming of this for its mistakes says while the whole

world's been looking out without admiration at the way socialist countries such as china and cuba have handled this and. the us administration has been exposed completely as an effort in dealing with the corona virus trampas discovered that the easiest most least controversial way to deal with a problem in the us is simply to blame it on russia or china. still ahead you are looking forward. binge watching lots of show you secure porn to get home you could be in for some disappointment explain what the couple of.

10 or 15 years removed the era of big data where so much from our reality of our environment and our society is governed by experts interpreting data and now thanks to corona virus this is all being stripped away it's all nonsense the crown of virus is now bringing back to america some intuitive sense of self-reliance is going to be a difficult adjustment don't. seem wrong well we just don't all. get to shape out these days to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

again my many people facing florentine at home will probably turn to video streaming services to help pass the time but can they cope with the spike in demand and will you be left disappointed. has been finding. self isolation is where being on list is as much about spending time with netflix as it is about saving your ground law from coronavirus. catching up on your favorite shows that i am getting one see content guilt free. in this definition but as we're all settling in to this warrantied. stream of thought on brand which are our animal videos. metrics

and you tube have let us all down this certain concern that the volume of netflix and chilling which is about to take place will break the internet they're reducing less streaming quality by 25 percent just when we needed the most guys pornhub is offering its premium content for free now that its customers. well if you prefer a little light reading instead marvel has introduced a new comic book series that is supposed to be representative of the times although the reaction online has been less than positive with some readers taking issue with what they see as the satirical level of their new characters shares her thoughts now in her latest quarantine diary entry. diary it's day 756 of my quarantine i have cleaned every car but looked out of

every window and watched every and i mean every film and series on netflix so i've been left with no option but to turn to comic films not my usual thing but desperate times and i'm so glad i took that leap because in these times of life threatening pandemonium marvel house welcome to the wild exactly what we all need snowflake and search space or the twins and their names are very similar to screen time fast off how imaginative all those names snowflake unsafe space must have taken a serious brainstorming session so these twins are black or white nowadays is so passe that both. morton culture i mean who is a snowflake with cropped blue have are and matching their todd is non-binary of course they are i'm saying space is a a big burly man and little hot pink shorts why not the part of

a series called new warriors so obvious between shooting out snowflakes and creating full fields to protect against unkind enemies these twins would leave the enemy quaking in its boots but apparently not everyone agrees with me the marvel new warriors are so badly designed i genuinely thought they were parodies of stuff as many bt minority characters in the main cast as possible series. oh good lord snowflake in say space actually part of this crew marvel even the ninety's is way better than what you're bringing out now for the new warriors at least marvelous producing truly paper during this corona crisis with the new warriors now these 2 are just the latest jewels marvels added to its growing diversity crowd with my sisters in arms i was so hailed the decision to cost a woman as captain marvel back that paul thing had a real rough time is a child and all the flashbacks we see there's

a horrible mom telling this and then one even told her to smile. about smarmy smile. back. i don't know about you but violent as a result for any unpleasant situation it strikes me as a very positive and empowering message in real life the actress pretty lost and is . too i do not need a 40 year old white dude to tell me what didn't work for him about a wrinkle in time rival d.c. comics also isn't lagging behind they went big with the all female birds of prey and lighthearted film that delves into fun topics like misfortune e has old man down and day of 5 women even one that clearly unstable.

i'm shocked that it flopped at the box office but i mean we all know whose to play . you expect me to believe that birds of prey is doing poorly for any reason other than sexism everyone keeps blaming the marketing but nobody dares to name the real culprit sexes than of course for us having a gender reassignment but mans cost you will need a nip and tuck and while no one has a clue what form of bond james bond will take on next time so many exciting changes chip for to what we know i love most about this whole vocal movement is how you can make it is i mean i don't know about you diary but to me it doesn't feel forced at all those who wish of political agenda signaling here it's just hollywood really caring about diversity. because i know that that's how the news is looking here in r.t. we're back with the headlines and more stories from the day at the top. blushes

and i think she did she could total more than the beach he cut the whole thing just for you to see me your he said it's not that it's indeed some shots that always sting against. him. beautifully build 0 sympathy included. a lot of it i was quite numb from want to have to be skinned to show. for the truth maybe shirley's. given to us but to the south korean his are still to be completely summed up.
