it says more than 12 years the health system itself is not in its best. let in is for any. or are not perfect receive these kinds of complaints ok but i mean i'm speaking to you from a obviously from a area in lockdown britain it is better then then when israel was injuring tens of thousands of people let alone the 200 who were killed 8000 wounded in weekly protests it is better now where well in in one sense it's better because the probability of getting infected is a lot lower because you are as you said locked down you aren't a block and however on the other hand you know if he thinks get it. i mean not control it i mean then we will have a big and serious. issue to have but god forbid if we have an outbreak you know

let other places it will be a disaster from the if god exists or if you do have a outbreak how many ventilators do you have in preparation if more cases emerge 6060 intensive care units and again this is we speak about 2000000 people you know i think out of the 22 currently in centers we have 10 or 11 schools and we have about 3 hotels and that is the health or primary health care facility as you know they started a few days ago to work on a hospital that is aimed at providing contin the place but still in what is ongoing but in total we prayed just like that the numbers were not really crease well in fairness to israel obviously is not bombing those schools or hospitals at the moment as it has done i should ask you also any news on israel of the possible release of thousands of imprisoned palestinians including hundreds of

children people in gaza have no word of the. well as far as a not there's nothing get there were talks about cases that might be from a pristine as in israeli prisons who got the. disease not sure that any of that this is confirmed it is known as that but it's not true they have requested the community at large have it was to israel's for to release those prisoners most of them are not criminal prisoners we speak about just the people who are just acting against. living under occupation you know and some of them are and that is simply administrative detention it's against human rights it's against the health. effects it's against all. laws that would indicate how to deal with prisoners in any place you know i work in the field of mental health you know when you speak about gaza strip and speak about. more than 50 percent of people

and poverty 33 pair of people percent of people under extreme poverty you simply talk about people who live on daily basis from like hand to mouth as this is we are basically still and the occupation on our gates are controlled by the israeli soul israel has if it can obligation towards the international community towards the palestinian people to do whatever is needed to improve the health conditions in gaza strip and to reduce any possibility or any chances of having serious complications caused by the comet 1900 s. ok well just briefly then britain obviously has sold weapons to israel we're told here that we have to wash our hands what are water supplies like in gaza given that washing one's hands is the world health organization advice and what is the toll on mental health of course your asika trist on the people of gaza as they live under a defacto siege their services we know reports of any extra medical equipment being

let through the checkpoint. well i would say that. people are what it that exclusively anxious let others in on this planet at the moment the 1st time the local authorities announced that mosques are not to be open anymore you know there are no. players predator that exists let's a truck will have a toll free line that is open and operating and we are trying to increase that capacity in order to receive like for example 5 course at the same time now it comes to hygiene as you asked you know what i don't is not enough you need to water with with with soap you know when you need something to clean your hands that we all know that more than 95 percent of the water in there is not portable you know however whatever is available for cleaning if i could say. but of course one of the interesting thing is that we heard in different places about shopping spree but shopping panic and that showed on the main books i mean

on the main shops could be empty and this is not the situation in gaza and they don't think that this is going to happen and that's simply because people do not most of the people do not have the money that is needed in order to buy things of our years of look at the end of our economic and financial resources and with the larger scale operations of francis with the great mass of retained casualties a lot of families the good also the end of the day drained of resources and this is again that it's a big issue and this is all 50 in the mental health of the population and just finally no news of any extra equipment in addition to the w.h.o. testing kits that have come through to gaza has yet. to my knowledge not yet but often you will see something some doctor a as average of a thank you. well the u.n.

relief agency in palestine is facing the collapse of schools and health centers as the global body struggles to find funding this while palestinian officials say israel has intensified illegal settlement construction joining me via skype from jerusalem is u.n. development and humanitarian coordinator in palestine jamie mccaul direct thanks jamie for coming on we've just been hearing about gaza but obviously the news in developed countries is a record unemployment in the united states and the economic collapse here in the e.u. and the standard the u.n. wants a $2000000000.00 fund to combat coronavirus what do you need in palestine well i mean we have a. plan clasen which will be covering that for $6090.00 days is the american citizens once we've asked for $33000000.00 and try and get it from that will fund and ideas to trying central the 1st step cure equipment such as national

protective equipment testing equipment as well as ventilators and oxygen concentrator is all used for all intensive care unit status things so we're trying to get a range of material that covers the full range of their keystroke or 'd from you know ellie to early testing all the way through to see the treatment do you think the fact that you're having to call for this money and that it wasn't immediately given to you by richer countries suggests the message that corona virus the response from developed countries will only be as good as it's received as the response to what happens in poor regions of the earth something the u.n. undersecretary for humanitarian affairs mark local copy has to be saying. yeah i think they're stray i mean i think the idea is that we're all in this together in this doesn't know any burn trees i mean i think yes that the secular journal of self north at the need for 'd a global response and that's why with the mark look at the necessarily coordinator

this idea of trying to make sure that richer countries are able to help them move under countries if you've got a place like palestine or some these other catholic countries that meaning many different dimensions of conflict and vulnerability could not talk of that covert virus in a no group of that in those contexts you basically exacerbate an already weakened systems and more importantly a very wonderful people and so the important part of as is to prevent them becoming deep rooted in place that other stay in another conflict yes difficult though for policymakers in the west to understand it when we were just hearing around 60 ventilators are available for $2000000.00 besieged in gaza that's actually if you do the calculations maybe 3 times the amount per capita in terms of ventilators that britain appears to have. yeah man i think that what we recognize is that has a lot of essential equipment required especially for gaz a i mean gaza has

a place which is you know has been under siege but their team bus years and because of the economy is free for all the services are very poorly maintained that deliverable systems such as water sanitation health and the great march it's on the demonstrations of. stress and pressure on the system which is already a weekend a week and what you've got no is clearly there are massive gaps that need to be faute an order for us to have a position whereby if. we got 9 cases already in gaza if it was to excel it equate heavily in fust we have to be there police to actually have the equipment needed and therefore the ventilators and respirators oxygen concentrator was very sophisticated equipment this in short supply globally and there are many countries that were very rich countries who are trying to buy that missing we are trying to response for a very poor country which doesn't have the means themselves to take care of purchasing globally in the market and obviously doctors are saying the densely

populated areas are more susceptible to corona virus $55000.00 palestinians live on 5 percent of jordan valley land $12000.00 or 95 percent of those in israelis any evidence for say barack claims that israel is using coronavirus for illegal settlement expansion which would mean again higher density populations of palestinians in smaller amounts of land but i think what you see right know there's a an unprecedented cooperation between the israeli authorities and the palestinians it's been claussen it's been an effort i think this there to contain the epidemic it doesn't mean others want trying to exploit the opportunity but i would say that you know the president of palestine has declared a state of emergency in the prime minister as the monday. and i think they have this crisis management sense center unit which is then replicated all the government levels and the important thing rayno is to actually try to contain this

virus and get in the spread and that's basically done 3 different ways of screening existing isolation and health education and we want very costly with them and with the israeli authorities and that is very good cooperation to make sure that this can be contained and doesn't mean that the politics disappear but it means that politics 'd has diminished because the priority right know is that you might in dimension of the crisis in pakistan and the neighboring countries where there obviously some grounds for optimism there over here in britain u.k. authorities are refusing to release julian assigns the world's most famous prisoner what can you do is coordinator about palestinians including hundreds of children in the israeli jails as regards coronavirus no well i mean i think that anybody and as we see in any country people in the present population because of the coding situation i mean having people close contact with the is that almost like an incubator for the virus to spread so the important thing is the social distancing

where possible 'd and all the other structures have been given out and unfortunately and prison systems and anywhere they are they are overcrowded and so they are possibly less likely to provide an opportunity for the viruses spread and we know that information is going into the prison systems to make sure that does not and there be awfully there would be an attempt at some point to try and prevent it from becoming something that is locked into a prison or prison system you know uncoordinated thank you. after the break is coronavirus but corruption a get out of jail free card israeli pm netanyahu is be looking for. chief of staff to former israeli prime minister and with all this of all coming up about to have going on the growth. of.

the atlantic alliance the bedrock of the post world war 2 global security order is slowly but surely unraveling more and more often washington in brussels by virtue of important foreign policy issues today europe has a choice to defend its interests or fade into oblivion.

trade and investment have become magic spells to conjure economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries at the end fast for a chapter of a trade agreement as a post something very different but what when investment leads to toxic manufacturing the destroys sacred sites all the environment. that means local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can be certain now multinationals are taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying to use i.e. s.d.s. to stop tour of the way from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a french company sued egypt because egypt resists minimum wage democratic

choice over trump corporate law joining us as we try to find out on r.t. . welcome back on the other side of the gaza strip british owned israel has gone into lockdown as a diagnosis thousands of cases of covert 19 i mean political deadlock in a postponed corruption trial against its prime minister binyamin netanyahu the other chair is the chief of staff to former israeli prime minister ehud barak joins me now via skype from tel aviv thanks for coming on so apparently bethlehem appears to be epicenter in that region there what's actually happening in tel aviv i didn't get to be right now i'm looking through the window there's no almost no movement ours or people. almost all of closure. severe restrictions on movements of business so we have 2500 people already diagnosed with

the virus 5 dead people. for very. seriously. i think. patients with severe conditions unemployment went up over 20 percent we have now we are waiting for a possible. even even more serious condition. in next with patient for a complete lockdown depending of course on the trends in the coming days and the main problem as. i can analyze here now is that is that we have a shortage of. of spirit or the systems are spirit or even changed. everyone is mobilized here the home front command the i.d.f. least of course all the welfare and the health care bodies and institutions

are all mobilized 247 ok i saw day israel was a had a reputation of being a highly militarized society prepared for war an incoming rocket fire but he seems to be very different to that assumption is the siege of gaza going to continue at the checkpoints going to be relaxed so that essential services can now go through to gaza that alone of course through the checkpoints in the west bank well in a in a in an awkward manner in an awkward fashion what we see is that the. closures and and borders that are that are hermetically ormus or medical those provide better. conditions for nonproliferation of. the epidemic. but all together you know that is really by the stand in relationship is put on the back burner at the risk operation there is cooperation on security

matters and. and even health care and other and. some as i suppose there are some reports raised some reports of the world health organization working with a co gatt to distribute thousands of respirators and medical equipment to run the west bank where you just said there's a shortage of respirators in israel or in tel aviv how how can that be. so i want to stick to take the right this dish and send the decisions are taken you know the i.r.s. does not. distinguish between israelis and other stimulants with arabs and jews between muslims and christians and we are all in this in the same boat i can tell you that the political stalemate within israel is also creating to. do that because there's no rockets no miss i was. launched by hamas or islamic

jihad from the gaza strip israeli civilian centers which is which is a nice. and nice differentiation from from the very recent past. albeit again you know the 3 share. the those who are more pessimistic say the death toll may be high and much higher from go with 1000 than any rockets fired from there can i just ask you given that you said there's a shortage of respirators do you blame the netanyahu administrations and what has happened to netanyahu is a corruption trial in the midst of this crisis. you know there's always a question of. prioritizing the prioritizing issues that that are pending on the governments table and i don't think that this is affected by by the china just against against yeah but i

do think that fareed i think the health care. the public has care in israel was not at its best during the last decade. despite the fact that we are still one of the best public systems worldwide in terms of health care and hospitals etc one of our hospitals sheba. is ranked 9th in the world in terms of the best hospitals in the world but anyway you know netanyahu was. indictment has been has been postponed until late may for the very serious charges of corruption and bribery fraud rich of trial of trust all this is on hold of presumably prime minister netanyahu appears to say it is kind of on hold the corruption trial is on hold and the the trial will not go ahead my career has been postponed a spawn but not not not it did not disappear from the. from the public

discourse in israel and we are waiting until after over easter. and probably i hope that we will be out of this major major challenge crisis of the coronavirus by the end of may and he will have to he will have to stand in court and and face his indictment would you have preferred. would you have preferred of the trying to going to hand via video link the israeli justice minister amir honest complete saying the decision to not allow video link trial was completely nonpolitical it was a matter of the judiciary. i think that this is a much better than not or get it all together. well why do you think our means to perform to perform any any kind of session in court with all the precautions taken and under the very severe restrictions. i wouldn't i wouldn't give any any discount

to anyone facing such serious charges why do you think 3 disagreed was even why do you think the judiciary disagrees with you on that point well this would not be the 1st disagreement that i had with them i believe that. that facing serious charges like that could be handled. correctly by providing the right environment under or actions. and by the way this is why this is why it has been postponed but but eventually not later than september. this. this court will. will come again and and start the trial in on an almost daily basis do you think the prime minister is trying to exploit coronavirus for his own

political ends while i believe that. it will do whatever is possible politically and otherwise to avoid court and possibly because these are serious charges but you know every person is is completely innocent until. until there is a court resolution that. defines otherwise so where. for the benefit of doubt that we all enjoy i would like to to be hoping that we get out of that completely. completely innocent and that. that the indictment we go through and be in be tried. as for anyone else i believe that israel is is a state. that preserves and cherishes the rule of law

and the supremacy of the law over any any individual and this is the case here as well but of course politically it's completely different whether. you confront the court as a prime minister even an interim prime minister or. as a member of knesset or even as an individual. individual who does not assume any responsibility government responsibility so this is why i believe that netanyahu will do his best in order to. preserve is pissed as soon as prime minister until until the court. until the court resumes its sessions i just say the prime minister of course denies all the charges of corruption over here the european union and even in the united states people are

talking about geopolitical realignment because of coronavirus would israel back the lifting of sanctions on countries like iran syria other countries in the region trying to tackle coronavirus wherever it's it's directly connected to the sanctions and the. countering the coronavirus i would i would look into that in more. with more flexibility but only when it is directly connected not indirectly connected i believe that. now of course we have boundaries we have enemies we have we have the geo political system that does not stop even during the coronavirus however we need to alleviate our fears and it is temporarily. look at humanity as one and not as and not as separate. from the others

so what israel you are recommending should work with iran to tackle coronavirus together the health professionals in both your countries all tell you at least if you go lopes. antivirus that helps. get people in better better hope and better protection against the run of virus i would share it with iran is going to thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday to look at more global responses to the bruno mars outbreak as we investigate communist cuba as medical internationalism until then rule the news all covered by the mainstream media join me on the ground by following up on you tube twitter facebook instagram and.
