without work in stock markets in freefall congress remains stuck on approving a rescue deal to battle the pump and they can bolster the economy. hello this is art international from moscow welcome to the program is just one of the afternoon here now this tuesday with a slightly new show job in place for you for the time being i'm kevin o. in it with my colleagues will be here every day at this time to update you on the latest in a full 30 minute world news round up there are currently over 3 184000 coronavirus cases worldwide with over 16000 deaths and over 100000 people having recovered. well 1st of the latest developments here the russian government has announced new measures to tackle the spread of covert 19 it includes bigger penalties for breaching quarantine rules and

a new system to track people who've had contact with others who've been infected the kremlin's refuted claims though that such surveillance might violate civil liberties down off reports next. well so far russia has more than 400 confirmed coronavirus cases the epicenter most of them are here in the russian capital and in moscow just short of 300 now on top of that more than 93000 people here are under constant medical surveillance know what it means it does not have to necessarily mean that they're showing any symptoms on the contrary it's just people who have been in contact with those infected and just to keep them quarantined to keep them safe so overall it seems that the situation here in russia is more or less still under control but still new cases of infections are adding by the dozens daily pre-modern today said of the government's introduced new measures here yes absolutely because essentially the russian government has outlined well i have

to say the key problem with that helps the corona virus spread because for instance a lot of people who are supposed to be self isolated the more than 93000 that i've just talked about in here in moscow for example the elderly and those who rule those who have preexisting conditions like asthma also they must stay at home but a lot of these people they are ignoring this and they still go out and in danger themselves and the others so the russian government has came up with a response the ministry of digital developments communications and mass media of the russian federation has been tasked with establishing a system for tracking down citizens who have been in contact with those infected with the novell coronavirus on the basis of their mobile phone geo location data provided by telecom companies citizens will be notified via messages if they have been in contact with infected individuals and informed of the need to self

quarantine with the data also being transmitted to regional authorities in charge of tackling the outbreak so it's effectively the russian government will be using triangulation. they received they receive from mobile carriers to track those people who may have been in contact with the corona virus infected people and to notify them that they are to stay at home this is to be of this to be this is said to be implemented excuse me by the end of this week all ready but i mean informing people is not enough there's no means over enforcing it so russia is said to toughen up to toughen the penalties for those who still break the koran teen rules right now if you were to do so you often find that if you are in fact somebody that is a different story that is a criminal offense so these penalties to be toughened up to so also and also russia will be taking a whole slew of measures aimed at informing citizens both about the current up to

date situation in these coronavirus situation in the country and about the dangers of breaking the quarantine and so on we would look at around the rest of europe see what's happening for instance in the u.k. now it's pretty much got into a lot on us from today russia is not there yet how does what russia is doing stack up against other countries measures that they go well talking about tracking people down russia is essentially following the chinese model well the only model so far proven to be successful at containing and battling this new coronavirus pandemic china has been tracking its citizens to see who's been in touch with the infected to isolate them so have been hong kong and south korea south korea being one of the country's worst affected by this pandemic israel is in this club too because they're using such measures to track down those infected by covert 19 they would

normally only used to come by to prevent terrorism on top of that thailand is giving out special sim cards to all true. well for the purpose of tracking them down too but as you've mentioned russia as a whole is not on quarantine there are groups of people who must stay home those who have again came in contact with those infected and. those in the groups of risk but largely people have been advised to stay at home as much as possible to avoid public places but it has not been enforced into a law into a rule so it seems that as of now russia is still hoping to avoid getting the whole country on lockdown. italy remains the worst hit country more than $6000.00 have died and there are almost $64000.00 known infections despite being 10 days into a total lockdown seems not everyone there is obeying the rules and they're putting

themselves and others there for risk let's catch up with our europe correspondent people all of despite the seriousness of saying that of the crisis in italy some people still don't get the message. well it is all well and good telling people that they have to stay it hourman the seriousness is certainly being conveyed in that message that people must stay within their homes that they must only certain types of. pre-ordered in meetings priority and going out to get food going out for for certain little bits of exercise but people have been forgetting that it would seem and that's prompted a whole lot of the talian mayors to well put out online videos saluting furious at their citizens well really quite incandescent. oh. go home this is not a film on t.v. this is a national emergency or. go home you can play ping pong go back to play stations

you're not allowed to be here go play video games at home. all of. this is like a war bulletin because we are in a real war and now i turn to you you need to stay home don't you understand that people are dying 400 people are dying a day. we're fed a mother this morning now found one of our citizens who was lovingly walking around with his dog i said to him hey this is not a film and you're not will smith in i'm a legend so go home. well these are all big for entertaining videos of course but there's a really serious message behind them and it does seem that but message of confines of isolation is working somewhat we've seen the 2nd consecutive day here in italy in which the number of confirmed cases of covert 19 has dropped off what we are going to be looking at though is how this type of confinement will work in all the

places you mentioned the united kingdom earlier on well of course in the u.k. policing is very different it's policing by consent is what they call it hardly the more tarion style that we see here on the continent and whether people will be able to well it here to these very strict measures that are being put in place there but what we are seeing is if you do confines yourself if you do put yourself into isolation innocently we're seeing those cases and the number of confirmed cases drop off are to as your correspondent peter all over thanks for the update from the . so the race is on to get a truly accurate picture of just how pervasive infections are worldwide scientists at oxford university in the u.k. are developing a mobile app that could help trace the spread of covert 19 if all goes well they say the apps expected to be widely adopted in europe in the u.s. we're not going to do this in a way that has been done in china but there are ways of using these techniques just

because we live in a democracy doesn't mean we don't care about other people and we're not going to act responsibly so here's a look at how it's going to work in theory at will track where a potentially who uses come into contact with if a person then test positive for the corona virus anyone who's been in contact with them over a 2 week period will be notified despite the up not being available yet it's already debate their course on handling private data. big bro i get the big privacy concerns and they're really worried me too but this is definitely a what will be needed so the sooner the better probably no thanks was they have it they'll never give it out sounds good i was already thinking that technology and big data could really help us here we're all walking around with highly accurate g.p.s. is these days why not put surveillance capitalism to good use other developments last week singapore launched its own smart phone up to help trace an alert people

about corona virus cases via bluetooth there in the united states one texas based tech company claims it's to employing thermal cameras to detect people with fevers in the coming weeks it will be introduced into shops hospitals and airports china also has a new app which color codes your health status and helps people decide whether they should go outside however as mentioned there are concerns that the ups share all the data it collects with the authorities got some insights from innovation and technology expert norman lewis he stressed the importance of the crisis but says it had to be balanced with the need for privacy to. and of course there's always a danger there joe this can go too far and i would argue there. when you have a situation of lockdown when you start using data likeness and the division between useful data and using this to survey people and whether they're behaving with not becomes slightly blurred area and that becomes point

difficult we do need rationality and proportionality and we do need a balance and we shouldn't allow this to creep in in such a way that it does begin to challenge and threaten civil liberties and. i think that's a very fundamental principle to keep in mind because this virus will be defeated you know where will we be wafted that's what we should be thinking about as well. france currently has some of the toughest restrictions on movement in place as it handles $20000.00 known infections nearly $200.00 died on monday taking the country's total there to $860.00 but while most citizens are heeding the order to stay at home not everyone has that option show dubinsky in paris next that looks at what that means for the homeless who are among the most vulnerable to the virus. stay off the streets the french have been told yet for the homeless that's an

impossible situation to be in doctors' charities are warning that those in the most precarious situations are perhaps the most vulnerable to the disease we have a camp or 500 people who are in the streets in a very bad sanitation condition of course answered with the risk to have. some issues regarding. nigeria's of course we need to provide everything to do everything possible to ensure that the can get access to care and begin get access to shelter to avoid it in weeks in the last few days there has been evidence of the authorities are rounding up homeless migrants as part of the fight against the virus but the reality is that they are likely to be transported to shelters or gyms with hundreds of others so while the official

advice is to self isolate they won't be able to if a single person already has the virus or is a career that could be catastrophic we need to monitor or receive tuition and to have another view of all the people living in the streets to have clearly some su stations to be able. to take care of them and in particular of course the friends governments to ensure that we have shelters provided very quickly and we needs to have centers for. those it is cases as well medics and all the equipments and we are actually in france in shock to each of masks herbs and everything to take care of the people and to ensure the security have security of the medical staff that. spreads beyond france on the greek islands where thousands of migrants are packed into camps without access to basic hygiene

facilities even the simplest of preventions washing your hands isn't easy while in germany the police had to intervene following a brawl at an asylum seekers center more than $500.00 migrants were placed under quarantine ensued after one resident tested positive for cove it 19 there have been significant disruptions since the start of the quarantine measures which is why 17 people who significantly ignored the quarantine have now been moved to another facility the domino effect of the lockdown and the fear of infection has also hit food distribution many charities are struggling to carry out their activities following the show up drop in volunteers many volunteers cannot continue their work due to age or health constraints we're experiencing an exceptional and unique situation places have been made available to shelter people but there

simply aren't enough and that's been made pretty clear to me as we've been working across the city of paris during the code 19 pandemic people are still living on the streets here now while perhaps in more saner times the idea of having shelter for the night may have been the priority for the homeless the growing fear of being on lockdown with hundreds of others some who may already have the virus means sleeping rough may just for now be the safer option so much even ski arty paris even more to do with the homeless book by far the most vulnerable people right now the elderly in france has got carers and high alert in retirement homes the industry says given the mortality rate is around 15 percent. and the worst case scenario could see 100000 lives put at risk there urgently appealing for the

authorities to provide half a 1000000 masks a day so that staff could help shield residents from infection r.t. from spoke to the deputy director of one retirement home who says the situation now is critical i don't know there have been no answers there is no security all we know is that we have 5 masks per person per week given that it is necessary to change your mask every 4 hours given that it is also necessary to change the mask when a person leaves the room when it comes to the staff it can figure out that it doesn't add up we understand that this will not be enough it is necessary to take this precautions which in essence are basic matters we need to apply the measures we need to make a choice at the at the co therapeutic and professional levels but 1st we need to reduce the use of masks at least for the moment and initially prior to new government accommodation there was an instruction that went as follows use mass only in confirmed cases coronavirus now it's too late for that. thanks for watching

today i'll do so without international as well we'll tell you about this is another group that's proving to be a problem to properly self isolate as well as prisoners some jail chiefs in the us think the best solution then is to set some free is out to reports but after this break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. again it's 90 minutes past one in the afternoon here in moscow next the board which oversees new york city's prisons is pushing to release more than 2000 low level

prisoners from custody itself to 38 people mostly inmates tested positive for corona virus in the main rikers island facility and other jails the director of a prisoners' rights group told us that tightly packed conditions could rapidly spread infections. i was in prison myself for 17 years at washington state and for several years i was held in a few in a cell that was 54 square feet with another man. when you think about it and this is far from a common you have preserved being held in very tiny spaces oftentimes communal cells 78 temperatures and in many states and have a southern united states prisoners are held in dormitories you have a $2300.00 man literally locked in a dormitory and they're sleeping 5 feet away from each other these are all situations that are almost ideal for a pandemic to grow and spread the us federal bureau of prisons says almost

a 5th of inmates are among the most susceptible to developing severe complications from covert 90 for now federal and most state prisons have banned visits to limit contact some prisons have already started to release some of the at risk inmates too because they're unable to isolate them properly recorded 2200000 prisoners in american jails more than in any other country around the world pull right against his prison chiefs aren't equipped to cope with a health crisis like this. but i think it's important know that the people who run our detention facilities are not medical experts. more probably they don't look for the medical experts and they make their decisions based on how best to cage people and the only thing that it should officials of the united states are good at is locking people up they are not good at making medical decisions that reduce and we set up as. keeping our chain to be safe all they know how to do is lock people up so i think we're going to see very pretty predictable results which is i think

a very horrendous epidemic with probably a very high dust hole a much higher one that needed there we would need to have if we had medical professionals so many examples say in our president jail system overall the united states is now grappling with more than 46000 confirmed coronavirus cases half of them in new york state alone 582 people have died across the country but nearly 300 others are recovering the markets continue to slide off to congress failed for a 2nd time and to pass an economic stimulus package with almost 2 trillion dollars senate democrats blocked the relief deal claiming it mostly aim to protect big businesses republicans hit back though accusing them of trying to force through marriage is unrelated they said to the health crisis but why an episode of supermarket sweep on related issues left and right spare me the righteous indignation about democrats trying to settle outside political scores but we're

going to spend 2 trillion dollars that we spend it wisely i don't think our republican colleagues would want to give any administration a blank check to spend $500000000000.00 how are they what fareed very disappointing display of putting partisan politics ahead of the immediate needs of the american people. i assume it's a spoiler of the stimulus package business is continuing to close across the country next door to america's love and support from washington d.c. . as the united states prepares for the worst of the coronavirus hundreds of thousands of businesses have been closed and boarded up like this one behind me resulting in massive job loss that experts warn will have a devastating impact on the u.s. economy while residents are ordered to stay home and practice social distancing at all costs the increasing list of business closures and layoffs are coming at a major cost to the u.s. economy from popular clothing stores to famous restaurants to historic museums the

national push to halt all gatherings of more than 10 and the boarded up businesses here in the nation's capital are a reflection of what is happening across the country with stocks falling and unemployment numbers skyrocketing in response to the latest halt to the economy the president of the st louis federal reserve is warning that national unemployment could hit 30 percent higher than it was during the great depression and 3 times more than the 2007 to 2009 recession experts are now warning that the shutdown from the coronavirus could cause a layoff like the united states has never seen before they note that while the worst month for job losses during the financial crisis was 800000 in march 2009 forecast for april 2020 range from 500-0025 1000000 while cities across the u.s. are moving to protect residents by expanding eligibility for unemployment insurance offering financial assistance for businesses and stopping evictions and utility cut

offs many americans warn that will be nearly enough as they face life without a paycheck i have 2 kids at home i know take care of him feed them and get through this we don't know how long when you have no idea how long that will be how can you predict if you will make a shelter in place orders are being put in place across the nation from philadelphia to dallas here in washington d.c. the attorney general shared his support for the move and said he believes it. reduce the spread of coronavirus and keep residents safe but with millions of americans staying home as the closure of all non-essential business is implemented to combat the impact of the coronavirus many worry that its impact on the economy is only just beginning reporting in washington rachel love and see. this live update from marty's main studios here in moscow with me kevin though in thanks ever so much what should at this time every day we'll continue to bring you live bulletins from here in russia and also let you know to later in the day will be more coverage from our london stateside studios and teams there around the clock
