drones used to enforce a lot down in the u.k. as police are given extra powers to contain the spread of covert 90 but as governments around the world to use mass surveillance to restrict the movement of their citizens we look at whether george orwell's book 984 is fast becoming a reality also the concerns for the safety of those who can't work from home unions in europe are demanding that employers do more to protect the delivery staff from infection and as russia we called it fish that can cope with 19 tougher measures are put in place to prevent the spread of the virus we hear from an expert from the

world health organization. for me this is it just a few manatee already we are 4 up and down at the most important lesson for us is to rebuild the health care system. hello good evening you're watching r.t. international worse just come 7 o'clock in moscow ok let's start by giving you the latest on covert 19 because across the globe more than 600000 cases have been confirmed that is up 20 percent in the last 24 hours alone 137000 people have recovered in total but more than $28000.00 people have died from the outbreak . well the british government is ramping up its efforts to contain the coronavirus

police have been given new powers in the using drones to make sure the citizens stick to the rules and stay at home. and coming up now is a video message that has been posted by police and the county darbyshire it does a people there to avoid all nonessential movement and that includes walking the dog in the pay district or going for a long walk and instagram is a singled out so you they're being told not to go out of their way to get a good selfie with governments around the world to come up with new ways of fighting the pandemic rough is that things could never get back to normal but against the of looks now at how the global lockdown could change our lives forever . this pandemic will and already it is changing us

society i do mean the economy or social distancing i mean privacy freedoms these are now a danger to our health this isn't about judgment condemnation or endorsement this is a global health crisis many lives are at stake and desperate times call for desperate measures but look and see what's happening before our very own eyes troops and armored vehicles on the streets of western cities drools patrolling cities and ordering civilians to return to their homes. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah nationwide lockdowns police and troops detaining civilians for violating curfews a lot in the middle east or china but in europe and italy alone more than $100000.00 people have been charged for violating the law down drones monitor citizens from above where they walk their dogs where they park where they congregate robots. patrolled streets governments attending neighbors and friends and family to report each other if they find out someone violated quarantine we have created an online report in port au where people can submit a form to advise of and a gathering that are not in it here is with the guidance and easy to demand on one on one all of this was completely unimaginable a few months ago but it's all about. stopping the virus at whatever cost in the

fight against this senator a crisis it is paramount that we anticipate the spread of the pandemic and its likely peak in each country in israel they started tracking people's movements with their phones to catch those violating quarantine or to warn people who have been near someone who was infected in america in europe in russia they're talking about doing the same thing mobile phones have been turned into tracking devices for our own good they say it's hard to argue with that and personally for the duration of the crisis i don't mind my question isn't when this will end the total control my question is will it head and the european data protection supervisor of stresses that such developments usually do not contain the possibility to step back when the emergencies go home how often the governments or police give up

powers you don't need me to answer that you know full well yourself we're all afraid we're all confused and worried for our loved ones fear has gripped world our society because of that we have given up without complaint our freedoms to our governments for our own good i'm not here to judge i'm only stating the obvious with the hope that when this nightmare is over and that fear passes will get our freedoms back. more aggressive there will italy recorded more than 919 deaths in a single day on friday and that is its highest figure since the outbreak began hospitals are under great strain is admissions continue to saw an intensive care unit in the northern italian city bred here is now running 5 times capacity we

heard from a doctor there he said that medics are having to improvise to save lives but the. hospital is at the forefront of many aspects of treatment and intensive therapy we have suddenly found ourselves having to invent new treatments and use new machinery that we would have never used in a normal condition about 2 thirds of the patients spend a long period in intensive care. the number of beds has to be consciously increased because there are always more people coming in than being 'd destroyed i spend 13 to 14 hours a day here at the hospital my colleagues have tripled their duties and are working night shifts to cope with the influx of patients. meanwhile self isolation has become the new norm for millions of people who are now working from home however the most blue collar workers that's simply not an option and that includes delivery services unions in europe and i raising concerns about their safety. reports. just a few weeks ago they were deemed unskilled workers i'm talking about the people

who stack supermarket shelves or deliver our groceries books clothes and gadgets now as coded 900 forces us to hunker down in our homes they have become alongside health professionals some of the most essential workers of our time without those people we wouldn't be able to run as a nation we wouldn't have an economy and people won't be able to cook food on the table we just various clutches tissue. rolls of toilet rolls we've always done. in getting these products out. just like doctors and nurses who are fighting a war against this virus delivery drivers are also putting themselves on the front line and potentially at risk of be lying if i wasn't if i was saying that it wasn't

. especially with everything else in the media well we've obviously implemented a lot of protective measures and social distancing to make sure that they're not as much with us and that we so many minds as these new key workers are ensuring essential and non essential deliveries many of those who once considered important stock at home either an able to be economically active or at best working remotely the french and british governments are amongst those that have offered to cover a significant proportion of the wages for people who can't be in their place of work during the lockdown unions warned that this led to a feeling of inequality. there is an impression of an equality between blue and white collar workers. truck drivers delivery and postal workers those in trade and

management many employees are in the front line mostly women and the working class and like the executives who shuddered when they didn't leave for their holy homes this is causing more and more anger there's also concern that remote work is only possible if you're a so-called white collar worker so if you tend ball work as a salesperson in a closed shop it's pretty impossible right now to continue that type of employment now these roles are often based on short term always 0 hours contracts meaning employers don't have to keep the morning when they need to tighten their belts the current crisis is perhaps only highlighting this divine right and if in the coming months old world starts to return to some semblance of what we need to let's not forget that in our time of need it was the low pay the manual workers that we were

low and on and without the heroes delivering all good so keeping our supermarket shelves stocked we would have been lost. for r.t. in paris we got reaction to this story from the political commentator. and also the market analyst craig. greely is attest to to our enemies and through our way we're seeing how this in the next few months this is obviously an artist in the situation room and we are facing like this for a long long time it's the whole chain of business which is really really vulnerable to these kinds of shocks and the longer they become i don't find i've gotten better at it because the fundamental way you're working means to go on same way and hopefully governments can come together to support their better citizens for the next few months years and right now through this pandemic what we're seeing is one

of the benefits of being a white collar worker is that in many cases and not all cases but in many cases the ability to work from home is much easier than maybe even offices previously envisaged we have now that we've been forced into the situation what we're learning the more i think what it continues to learn over the coming weeks is one shot the infrastructure in place at home and now many people will have the infrastructure in place it's actually much more simple than what we previously envisaged. now here in russia a 5th coronavirus patient has died and there are more than 1200 confirmed cases but despite the rising numbers there is some potential light at the end of the tunnel because the world health organization has agreed with the russian government's estimate that the outbreak could actually start to subside as early as may when while russian officials say that they do think that anti malaria drugs could potentially help the treatment of cope with 19 although more research is needed

well that's help maintain to help contain the spread of the virus in russia starting from today restaurants cafes and shops are closing their doors only supermarkets and pharmacies remain open although deliveries of food and other items are still permitted there are no restrictions on people going outside although public parks have been shut president putin earlier and i am still weeklong paid holiday for non-essential workers starting from monday. construction of new health facilities are also under way including this one in each. city in the west of the country officials do say will be ready in less than a month to cope with a possible influx of coronavirus patients 15 similar hospitals are being built across the nation the government has already allocated equipment and supplies to each one but we discussed the pandemic and russia's response to lein it rochelle he is the country's top pediatric surgeon and also an expert the world health organization.

humanity has endured another to relive pedantics plague and cholera before this one we have 3 other types of corona virus this is another one and will not last forever this is a new virus it will also us with more losses is the question. will . the hype the fear mongering for russia i emphasize is not very relevant the situation in russia is not so tragic the media will not be able to ask the cas to russia's i supported the measures if you quarantine was imposed factories and transport would stop and this would cause a collapse that is worse than the virus. or

that you know i'm not a fortune teller in a best case 2 or 3 months. for me this is a test a few manity already we are 4 up and dammit if i were an examiner looking at what is happening in need to leave spain and other countries i would give a c. minus great which is the most important lesson for us is to rebuild the health care system we must be prepared for serious disasters we must be prepared for serious pandemics we must be prepared for serious terrorist attacks we must be prepared for everything and above all our health care system must be prepared. for the moment at least russia's health care system is coping and is not as overstretched as those in some other countries frontline medics that are working around the clock to keep the virus that day and that includes one of moscow's main airports there has prompted

22 brothers to show their appreciation. it was him who decided to volunteer and give free coffee to all medical stuff in the airport workers who are in the vanguard of the flying because the coronavirus in this country our idea is to help with all that we have we can make coffee so it's not difficult for us to do those tackling the virus. national day of constant we don't have any medical education so we can help them treat people the only thing we can do is make coffee and give some sweets to help them through this tough time the ultimate idea is that if we can help theoretically anyone can.

still to come this hour we seem to be striving doctor and t.v. star news corps for more testing this health professionals demanding he's the one put in charge of the response to that 19 story just off the. that's the crucial point of the book the bottom line of the book namely i think you're pretty much stuck with your looks but if you have other things that you're good at either music or running or doing intellectual work or politics

then one should take advantage of one's advantages and project goers and forget about the fact that you may not be the best looking person on the block. 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 importing foreign policy issues today europe has a choice to defend its interests or fade into oblivion. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you.

hello again. has increased its testing for corona virus after widespread criticism authorities had previously only checked those arriving from abroad and those who've been in contact with 14 have died from corona virus in the country with thousands infected while in total over $180000.00 australians have been tested for the disease after a high profile doctor and t.v. star took the government to task dr norman swan nato be a.b.c. network the far more checks were needed and views and health professions alike demand that one is put in charge of the outbreak. i'm a doctor and would like dr norman swan to be the country's health spokesperson during this crisis australia would have a fighting chance if norman swan was the chief medical officer nonpartisan no fluff qualified respected and well known the winner tonight is dr norman swan those are our australia as he's not our chief medical officer but we spoke to dr swan who

gave us his take on his country's response and also the public's call for him to take charge. why would they want to condemn me to be the chief medical officer of the last drop in the world i want you know chief medical officers whether it's in russia or it's a thankless task there are new easy decisions where we realized that there was a vacuum of information where the public really where frightened and confused and unfortunately here they weren't necessarily gazing at all the information they felt we needed we didn't and we didn't understand that of the time i've been a broadcast journalist in health for a long time so we thought we provide this service and simply answer people's questions and give them the latest research it's still relatively low numbers when you think about what's going on in italy in america and other places but it's not good are doubling rate that's how how long it takes for 2000 to become $4000.00

cases is is shortening so it's down to 2 days we haven't been as good. at finding people we've done a ban we reduce the number of cases by putting a band very early on in china but we were to put a ban on the united states and that's made it very difficult and so the next phase here in australia has to be with the government hasn't quite got there yet to really expand testing to look for people who may have the virus but don't know it but elsewhere the pandemic is starting to take a hold in the palestinian territories and doctors in gaza have wanted an impending catastrophe health services there are ill equipped to cope they say after years of living under these radio. reports. i'm standing at the checkpoint between jerusalem and the occupied west bank city of bethlehem every day until recently thousands of crowds would queue here the large crowds the poor ventilation was the

perfect opportunity for the coronavirus to sprayed the israeli army is now closing or checkpoints and at the same time it's tossed the police with trying to stop the spread of the virus however in the case of gaza people they will find themselves trapped in a dainty populated strip with a fragile health care system which according to the united nations has been crumbling away before the pandemic but the last 3 in the gaza and the west bank are fragile areas due to the continue siege there has been deteriorating all our medical capabilities for the 14th year and a row it's meant the gaza strip has lost all its basic facilities which provide health and human interest and that's the condition in which today we're facing this virus and we won't be able to fight this problem if we don't receive significant need for the health sector especially medical supplies and i see youth is doing he said the world health organization which visited gaza this week also gave its verdict the strips failing health care system will not be able to deal with

a pandemic all along rather even superpowers couldn't control these fires not to mention the high density of population here which can lead to a severe escalation of the pandemic so. the situation here now is harder than during any war we had before and we've witnessed 3 of them that this scenario is definitely worse. we ask all concerned countries to show a bit of humanity and stand with us we don't have enough money to buy those masks we buy only one per day and even this not everybody can afford it most people can only buy food and most of the youth are unemployed despite this so far as he's in gaza are trying to be prepared for whatever is coming they are building a quarantine center. to host up to 500 people while a shoe factory in the west bank has now switched to making medical masks it's reportedly the only place in the area that produces the vital protection israel also apparently understands the severity of the problem is that all deliberate

hundreds of medical kits to the enabling observation of the virus also there are joint couturiers and professional medical workshops participated both by israeli and palestinian medical or they are given the knowledge regarding the virus and probert who was been dealing with it but with a population of more than 2000000 people it's clearly not enough and guard service calling for the united nations and international community to provide it with urgent aid to battle the crisis in 2013 the american blockbuster world war z. it predicted that a common enemy a zombie plague would force israelis and palestinians to unite and in the decades long conflict it remains to be seen with a cause of 19 can do the same. r.t. at the basically him checkpoint we have asked the israeli authorities to comment on the situation will let you know their response when we get it journalist gideon

levy says that israelis are now getting a taste of what life is like for palestinians. for many years israel is. about a reality of. heard about the reality in which people move from one place to the other heard about petro a pet or so for soldiers and policemen in villages in streets in cities but they never experienced it and now all of a sudden it's becoming a reality in our hometowns in our cities in our villages what we are doing to the palestinians for over 50 years now is becoming gradually our reality it is still uncomparable because what they face in routine times is still 100 times worse than what we are now facing in our closure but i hope that some israelis will make their adult g.

and remember that we are doing it for so many years the palestinians maybe now we understand a little bit more about the situation. he watching out international thanks being with us today will continue our updates on the coronavirus at the top of the ad and to get there you can also keep across developments yourself on our social media pages and you. will. trade and investment to become magic spells to conjure economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged

between countries and the investment chopped or a trade agreement is about something very different but what one investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all ruins the environment. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can be sued. the nationals are taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying to use i guess d.s. to stop tour of the way from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a 4 inch company sued egypt because egypt raise its minimum wage to democratic choice over trump corporate law joining us as we try to find don't want to.

plenty. i am max keiser this is the kaiser report this is day 29 walk down that's right we've been here in this very location for 29 days and so far you know we've been

both it's a tragedy but it's also very interesting because so much of what we've said over the past 10 years and if you go back to shows we've done even before the kaiser report you go back 15 years so much of what we've been talking about for so long is now coming to the to the surface it's it's happening and so stacey talk to me a little bit about this one of the constants throughout all of our episodes of all of our various programs has been mention of my hair so just so you know in case my hair is not perfect as it usually is this is because we did not have anybody to look at me from behind until the edit situation or anything i think i have a comment on the go ahead and put the comment because this is very poor it's your show you're the man in the photo i think if if the concern is for hair i think the top and the pants are going to become louder as a way to distract attention from the air but i've been observing women for

a very very long time and that was my my observation i could be wrong now we'll move into the serious side of the program because we have to cover the fact that we have a global pandemic everybody is on lockdown max and i have been on lockdown since for 29 days many people are just in lockdown for the last 2 days or so so we have many many weeks apparently ahead to go and what we have noticed is a theme that we cover all the time on this show is that there is always a banker always a c.e.o. or always a corporation ready to plunder whatever they did even in the good times but in the bad times especially so we're. seeing this passage of this. dollar we don't know how many chileans actually we'll find out later some time remember back in 2008 when we 1st started recording it was like we want tarp 700000000000 dollars you know now it's like trillions and you're like ok whatever nobody could even make sense of it now i want to look back to this tweet somebody sent which was.
