in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. well coming up here is from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . the u.k.'s 1st day on the law down after boris johnson announced tough new measures to tackle the spread of coronavirus but many continue making the journey to work. yet h.s. is under pressure intensive care staff are forced to look after more and more patients says one clinician tells r.t. u.k. testing medics is banned over fears the true scale cause a nationwide panic. with the u.k. power each 2 weeks behind each of these outbreaks until locked down there are fears

britain's death toll could not use that of the virus is european epicenter i'll be talking to an italian expert in infectious diseases. and gang violence could be set to surge due to a fall in demand for drugs due to social distancing according to a report that says experts warn school closures could leave children at risk of exploitation. welcome to r.t. u.k. the government has implemented lot done measures across the united kingdom in response to the ongoing coronavirus crisis but with no clarity on essential work and no help so far for the self employed many continue to travel flashing rules on social distancing well out of u.k. shaddy ever stops us from i with the latest there shot is so as we heard an extraordinary announcement by the prime minister but our people are buying the

rules well absolutely none of us have heard a message quite like it but the coronavirus is a situation that country has never faced before in british history and that's why boris johnson has described the united kingdom as a state of national emergency the prime minister of course last night and this year to a lock down scenario but the. public are not exactly heeding this message it's day one of this national emergency but the scenes today are no different from any usual commute specifically when it comes to london underground services many people are crammed into carriages sitting every seat was occupied and many people holding on to handrails shoulder to shoulder not that 2 meters distance apart that has been advised however many of these commuters could be self employed much criticism has been on the government for not protecting this there's a lot of people in the working sector despite the government of course pledging that huge alleviation financial package now a chance overseas soon i was taking questions in the house of commons and he said

the government is working on a solution to help the self-employed but he couldn't put a timeline on it indeed yes it involves 5000000 people doesn't it so it's a big decision to make in the meantime though what about the emergency measures themselves what are they actually entails well boris johnson has announced the toughest restrictions on our way of life in living memory and says without a huge national effort the n.h.s. simply will not be able to cope and more people could die well this is the message sent from downing street to every single television across the country last night to put it simply if too many people become seriously unwell but one time the n.h.s. will be unable to handle it meaning more people are likely to die not just through cruel virus but from other illnesses as well so it's vital to smooth the spread of the disease because that is the way we reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time so we can protect the n.h.s. his ability to cope and see more lives and that's why we've been asking people to

stay at home during this pandemic. but those huge numbers are complying and i thank you all the time is now come for us to do more. so from last night you will only be able to leave your house for very specific reasons including shopping for basic necessities including food and medicine you can only go outside for one form of exercise per day either alone or with members in your household this includes cycling or jogging gatherings of more than 2 are now banned you can leave your home as well for any medical reason or to care for somebody and you can travel to and from work but there that's only where absolutely necessary and when you cannot work from home and the police have now been given the powers to enforce these new measures for now though the measures will be reviewed in 3 weeks time and revised and when its ok to do so however many senior cabinet ministers and

now warning that actually more stringent measures could even be put in place if it's necessary down the line remember the government has always maintained that policy has been advised by the medical and science professionals so potentially more stringent measures to come if indeed it's necessary nothing at this point is off the table an issue of course it felt like a step by step procedure now it seems like the government's really trying to sprint to catch up with the crisis everyone folds but again the message is clear to stay at home and did that the timing of the screw why should you think you. want to discuss the lockdown and why some people aren't apparently following the rules or not joined by crisis management expert peter peter thank you for joining us i mean as a crisis management consultant do you think the government is handling this crisis well. actually yes now at last you might say but i got a sly concerned about what happens next but he had we prepared for this and what

are you and others according we're now moving into what will soon become new normal those things that we used to tell you for granted before and were normal then i'm not normal anymore but what the government doing at the moment as i said i think they're doing the best but it is an element to it of hope of reality and we saw that very visually this morning on the amount of people on the underground troop tube trains but we've also got a course in this country mike a military aid to the civil community all the civil authority and that has caused the army and military in general including the maybe in the air force when they can spend a personnel to come out to help condiment lee the problem on that road takes to me over both to me around the police there's only one police officer per every $500.00 members of the public in this country and when the crease of a system solves become well we're going to need police as well as the army to actually police the streets you know it was one of those points as you phrase them

already so how do you suppose see everything happening i didn't explain weeks. well i think of the next 3 weeks there will be more and more police parent and army with them we could be moving ultimately to the next stage which could invoke curfews you couldn't go they call checkpoints they could involve something that we last saw 70 years ago during boat or to iterate over boat and some of the equivalent policing several streets members of the public with an armband sort of blowing a whistle and telling people to separate in the war it was telling people to put the lights out to avoid the bombers finding what to drop their bombs but these things are moving progressively from crossing. civil to probable depending on how the public react the 1st signs are this morning but probably cut being slowed and i must say one of the reasons for that that lots of people quite frankly disputed the

politicians after all the debacle we had with bricks at rusk year where many politicians quite frankly did not behave terribly well the public can be a bit cynical in this country do you think that k. at regular pet public service and spent as we seem to happen i was a child i remember then of course the whole of the media were necessary to put a name and shame altering coverage a bit spirit on a name and shame money had limited value but bricks through it is probably more like it but we live in a day age with social differences thing of the past and as i said just now we live in an age where surprising extent we don't trust our politicians we've got to now there's no choice there's no point in trying to pretend on the right track what's abundantly clear you. want to 3 weeks behind it's only 600 people a day dying we can prevent that but we doesn't require. everyone not

just police dogs or soldiers or doctors or nurses this is a combined exercise and people i fear some of them will only wake up when someone they know i die and that's a terrible thing it is paid a path thank you for joining us well the n.h.s. is under increasing pressure is medical workers in intensive care departments a force to take on more patients than there was previously an out. according to the health service journal intensive care nurses are now being told to look after 6 patients with help from 2 normal specialists nurses and 2 health workers all under normal circumstances one nurse will be responsible for each patient and also intensive consultants are being asked to take care of 30 patients assisted by 2 middle level doctors guidelines dictate the ratio between a consultant and patient should go beyond 1.8 to 1.15 that will absolutely be a lot of concern about this in the profession but it's the only option we've got

available we simply don't have the capacity to increase our stuffing levels quickly enough it would dilute the standard of care but that's absolutely better than not having enough critical castoff there's also a massive issue around the ability of critical care nurses not only to care for their patients but also monitor what the non-specialists in the teams are doing or meanwhile the dean of the faculty of intensive care medicine says the measures taken will enable staff to respond in an effective way that says the n.h.s. claims health care workers will adopt such changes in a sensitive way n.h.s. staff are working around the clock gearing up to deal with this unprecedented global health threat and as the professional bodies have said doctors nurses and other health professionals will rightly respond flexibly and compassionately in the meantime the public absolutely must now play their part by staying home to stop the

spread of the virus and saved lives. full n.h.s. trust chairman roy nanny will be joining me in the next hour to discuss the crisis facing the health service. well meanwhile some on the frontline say the public want to tell the full story one clinician working in accident and emergency who wishes to remain anonymous told r.t. you take the training on those of those with the virus of being suppressed. from testing that happens within the hospital which is only patients that are admitting to the hospital but not patients who are treated in the emergency department and discharged call so always the laws who have been admitted to the wards would be tested in which case that is a fraction of the patients that actually presents to the emergency department. i feel these people 3 the magnitude of patients presenting to the emergency department for treatment and a lot of how much of these patients actually positive economy cause us. in terms of

testing the stuff is being a complete ban on it including the thought who've been treating covert 1000 patients and consequently forming ill these are treated as having a flu like illness and are told not to label themselves as covert munting because they have not been tested and even upon the only quit for the past denied i am expecting an explosion of cases to come out but rather than this even making the statistics because of the lack of testing we're just going to get over. inundated by patients coming in and we will really go on lots of stuff going off sick as a result of the thought of having the quick p.p. . and another thing that i think is happening is people are not realizing how real the patients are when they come in. a lot of them are not critical very will be going in the department and they're never ever swapped because they never make

it onto the ward. and there's no autopsy that going to be governors preserve the core of the courtroom and the fight over the months and their cost of metro death so nobody will ever know the patient died of course the money doing. it so would do 2 can go on the fly to go for a policy maker probably the shortage of mosques in the shortage of people but in terms of not to be you've no justification for that they're used to practice anything it's the interest. was off and i just a comment to let you know if and when they respond previously they've said it will ramp up testing for covert 19. turning up after the break. 2 weeks into its kuroda virus outbreak the u.k. is on trying to match it to his death toll we'll be joined by an italian expert in infectious diseases. hospital said social justice things would feel gynaecologist

usual fall into monster john says experts warn school closures could mean more children exposed. one almost seems wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out these days become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground. over the past 5 or 6 years very aggressively people have sold dollars to buy these emerging market currencies because they can get a better yield on those currencies suddenly when all liquidity disappears during

heisenberg uncertainty for x. market to schroedinger's cat of markets everyone is then short dollars they have to buy those dollars back because there are losing catastrophic way in all their non dollar plays in the market and this is causing a runaway freight train of the us dollar going higher. welcome back many countries are enforcing some degree of law in town to tackle the coronavirus pandemic with mixed results italy is 10 days into a total long term but not everyone is obeying the rules peter all of a passable. that moment if they go home this is not a film on t.v. this is a national emergency you know you only want to 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.

movie. this is like a war bulletin because we are in a real war and now we 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 are not will smith in i'm a legend so go home. videos they they do make a little bit of entertaining watching those maids taking that hardline but the message that they're putting out is really a very serious message now the latest statistics coming out of italy show that for the 2nd consecutive day the number of people testing positive has not increased so doug what we're taking from that and what the experts are taking from that is that these isolation methods that have been put in place that they're helping stopping the spread of this virus as we know it's incredibly infectious the karoubi

covert 19 strain of this this corona virus and the fact if you can keep yourself away and keep your loved ones away from everybody else stay 2 meters away from people on the streets if you do happen to have to be out of well meanwhile one italian man has criticized britain's approach to tackling the virus georgia gordie who runs the city of bergen who is flying his daughters back to italy from the u.k. because he thinks they will be safe it comes as if he continues to battle his own outbreak with a number of deaths s. a passing china less than a month after their 1st reported death but with the u.k. believed to be 2 weeks behind some fear the number of british deaths match or surpassed the italian toll. well so far italy has registered nearly 64000 cases of covert 19 and just over 6000 deaths the u.k. has just over 6 and a half 1000 cases with 335 dying prior to the government announcing it's locked down but research has suggest the number of u.k.

deaths is set to rise over the next fortnight as its trajectory has so far followed that of italy. well so is london destined to be the next lombardi for corona virus what to discuss this i'm joined by an expert in infectious diseases dr jonica. got to got out of thank you very much indeed for joining us i mean the been some dramatic pictures emerging from hospitals in italy can you describe what the situation is like on the front line there of course that has people are totally change their structure and there are organizations because of a decent number of progress the number of people that come to hospital in order to be treated that's all because of that actually we have to change all the words because we have 40 and superior unit and we hope organize the hospital in different local or according to the different story needs of the patients and so we've got a special words for people who are let's say one of the earth you know tori

symptoms of a lot of know if they're called a positive or not is medium level in which of their 'd 6 is deceased it partly acute but there's a largest amount in which we hear all but normally in days if they are later under of course the defense in those you care unit it which is the most severe is as but just to give an example my last dollar is 'd $700.00 and our presence there are smaller that $150.00 call it was they were looking down that is where we're seeing the numbers here i mean is there some hope in the fact that the death rate does seem to be slowing down in italy. so at least not the death rate actually because at least somewhat disparate you are seeing that number of new infections and that scary for them because the somehow tell us the message that what the government the government did in order to avoid people to gather together apparently works that we are still facing a huge mortality rate also remember that this is something that we still need to study and to understand because the mortality rate that was reported in the chinese

if then it was 3 percent the wiring of europe in italy is almost 10 percent as a we are everywhere because of the fact that it's also we've got the much older population and we know that but all those people out of the woods but apart from the mortality there is still a big burden of disease in middle age people again and there are still a lot to learn because it is still unclear why it all the age of 30 are apparently protected for all more severe this condition and still we don't know what indeed dr got out there i mean we've been told that the u.k. is 2 weeks approximately behind it and so what advice would you give the british the u.k. public the government and the health services here so 1st of all mike through the bikes truss it mathematically will those get the debt because that's who are there where to predict what what's happening and so will. luna from what i happen to eat

that is not that you improve the best clinical practice 1st of all about which kind of message to get population the message must be very clear people by setting up a whole people must not meet one another this must be very clear what they're heard from your news before that sylow that you are there so many people are going on and that that's very bad is to make you need to stop it immediately 2nd with regard to communication to people regarding that they haue a problem you need to organize how people deal with the symptoms and. communicate who are the doctor that will be able to go at all and how to meet people that do not need a hospital admission stay on the floor because otherwise people will be totally impossible to face that this equation is all we need to work more we are working more about killing megacity about the absolute that allow the patients are to

assess their symptoms and try to understand when their difficulties breathing they saw and all need that situation they need to go 'd to the hospital there organize a good hospital together with the territory and within the hospital get started that a new kind of all the word a 50 or so you needed to keep it what we did is to close almost 50 percent of all of all our last surgery activity we had to close it all what was not is a shock under could be called and so actually i believe that what will happen is something predictable you need to be organized why don't we give all this by your core and last but not least think about some drugs really works but we are struggling because of finding this drugs in the market in the international market is very heart and soul try to understand that you need to get this drugs in there but it will leave it there dr janet got out and thank you very much indeed for

joining us my pleasure was social distancing could increase gang violence due to a fall into man for drugs that's according to a report has also as experts warn school closures could leave children exposed to county lines gangs r.t.s. is our alley as harmless. hi there he says i tell us more about how all of this is related to corona virus. we've seen this report released yesterday by the policy exchange think tank and it's called policing the can damage it says with it that this outbreak could increase gang violence because that you could see a number of you know gangs competing over what are drilling resources now but we could have a look at what some of the dangers at this report says could be coming as a result of the protocol iris and the resultant social breakdown that could come about now crimes such as that fruit destruction destruction buggery likely to increase so what that means is for example people going onto the doors of elderly

people knocking on the door and saying we had to do testing so on and so forth and then robbing those houses or other ways aligned fraud and the other way and that we could see a rise in crime is again because there's a reduced demand for illegal drugs there's no parties or club events and you could see gangs fighting over what are drilling resources and of course with the police and using. that powers to try to stop people from breaking the what is now a lockdown essentially they could be distracted from going off to these types of crimes and you could also see a reduction in neighborhood policing again that could involved in street gangs now another part of this of course is that you great see gangs jockeying for market positions are not only are they fighting over you know the drilling resources and settles now but obviously when the country will eventually come through this crisis

there will be people coming back to a sense of normality kabi druggy so and so forth and those gangs want to be in trying at position to take advantage of that now that there are other dangers as well according to this report of course we saw last week the government saying that children will be staying home in the schools are closed except for key workers to. drink and children who are vulnerable out special education needs and so on so that those children staying hogan of course just as difficult yet hope the parents are keeping them in properly but that could then make those children vulnerable to that gangs grooming them for things like country lines where young people are sent out to country towns and cities in order to sell drugs for the gangs here in the big cities and as well of course the economy taking a massive hit that's putting pressures on households and on jobs and on income within households again another motivating factor that could lead to more crime and again children being led into that kind of lifestyle wearing turn they said thank

you very much and they want to discuss this issue i'll be joined in the next hour by a community campaigner. and i'll be back with more news than just under half an hour . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. and i'm going to be up there see i don't think about it at all many roman not new dorp or. i kind of were on the. back and i think now i think it's hard enough.
