german officials accuse sportswear giant rounded ass of exploiting a law that was supposed to protect low income tenants refuses to pay rent on its stores to to the code $19.00 now. governments around the world place a stark choice between saving their economies and saving lives we look at how countries are trying to strike a balance. doesn't trump expresses his appreciation for medical aid sent by russia and china to fund the coronavirus which is now infected more people in the us than anywhere else.

other thanks for joining us here with your global news update this is art. the latest figures in the covert $900.00 pandemic almost 800000 cases have now been confirmed around the world that's an increase of almost 10 percent in just 24 hours more than $38000.00 people have lost their lives and 166000 have recovered. a global movement is gathering pace calling on landlords to stop charging rent for housing during the ongoing health crisis and one multi-billion euro firm has latched on to the idea is refusing to pay rent on his stores in germany due to the current lockdown politicians a furious peta oliver explains a stay at home to save lives is being the all encompassing mantra of this pandemic

but for those that can't work from home well it has meant losing their jobs for some and having to rely on state benefits for one of the world's largest sports money factures it's made them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores they've been forced to close off what adi da says done and it's drawing fire from the german government it's indecent and then acceptable if financially strong firms now just stop paying their rents. the brand pay for their $3.00 strike design made over $3000000000.00 in profits last year and they're being accused of trying to save a quick buck in times of crisis with so many european leaders saying they're not going to buy the dust products ever again. responded by saying they weren't the only ones but that appropriate arrangements had been made and that smaller landlords would get their money they're not the only ones to be sure clothing giant

h. and m. as well as german giant stores like soft or medium are have also announced that they would be either suspending or delaying the pavement red in the future by the way these are the last pair vida to swivel by such a shame that a global corporation with 3200000000 in profits in 2019 is exploiting and or protecting tenants existence. but what about the private renter and landlord slightly more than half of the people in germany own a home last week the german government promised well over 800000000000 euro in emergency funds to tackle the financial fallout from corona virus one of the big pieces of legislation is that all the victims will be suspended from april until september of this year with the option of actually extended not until july of 2021 something which is pleased the unions politicians must send

a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlord sees well a little up in the air renters must pay if they can but what happens when or if they can't that's one charted territory one would presume that it falls to loans of some kind from the hundreds of billions that have been put forward by anglo merkel's government but just how one goes about getting one of these loans how much will be made available nobody really knows just yet what we're seeing is that as governments are trying to stop the actual spread of the coronavirus they're also trying to insulate business and financial systems from infection of their own kind peter all of a r.t. belin. and governments around the world are now faced with a tradeoff between saving their economies and stopping the virus auntie's guess their reports finding a good outcome is almost impossible. whatever they do there's there's going to be

people who when the dust settles who come out and say what if we had done things differently and the only onset of that will be that there was no good choice the answer why some tools to quarantine and some tools to keep society of business who put these schools cool math we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself we're not going to let the cure be worse than the problem i don't want to see it i'd like to avoid it but i wouldn't be surprised if we saw 100000 deaths let me explain the 2 different approaches the countries are taking the 1st one locked down these clues will business to introduce quarantine shut everything down and limit the spread of the infection the 2nd is to try and stay open let people do you recommend that they stay at home but you make them you let the infection spread and

take a look at the log down 1st many if not most of the population will get infected eventually but it's happening gradually there are enough hospital beds enough ventilators you you save thousands of lives so a small percent of people die but the economic impact is huge just for example it's a one trillion dollars is lost that's a lot of taxes that's a lot of business that's going bankrupt the cost of giving millions of people unemployment benefits obviously the humane thing to do is to lock down but it's not an easy choice the survivors when they see the bill will be shocked their children's children will still be paying for it indeed a regional state finance minister in germany seem. the numbers choose to take his own life rather than leave with the cost that germany is paying his main concern was whether he could manage to fulfill the huge expectations of the population

especially in terms of financial aid he clearly couldn't see any way out he was desperate and so he left us that's a soaked us has shocked me now look at what many american states are doing or sweden which is staying open they're letting everyone infect each other this isn't going to look good in a few weeks hospitals will be flooded and people will be dying not because you can save them but because there aren't enough hospital beds enough doctors enough equipment people with utterly treatable illnesses will also be dying because all the beds of form because everyone's busy treating the infected yet result is that many more people a likely going to die but the economic damage on paper will be much smaller although we have no way idea how it will pan out let's just say for example it's $200000000000.00 what governments around the world the doing is they're facing this

choice shut everything down and save as many lives as possible but the survivors start off much poorer and take decades to undo this damage or keep everything open literally lead people who didn't have to die die just so that the survivors the economy can keep going so this list burden future generations look at texas where the lieutenant governor is claiming that the elderly a ready to sacrifice their lives for the economy no one reached out to me and said senior citizen. are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping of the america that all america loves for. or your children and grandchildren it's an ugly choice either way no one can predict how bad this is going to get how how room all our economic models are

how long it will take to recover or how many lives are going to be sacrificed so that the dow jones index stays high. pharmaceutical firms around the world are now in a race against time to develop a covert 19 vaccine auntie's entendres of ski went to meet the director of one such company here in russia. before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on that a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. i haven't seen what's wrong with it why is it hard to create one because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it still can interchange its parts with wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now won't be effective in half a year or so same as with no flu similar but not really the flu doesn't mean you take this fast when trying to present

a 30 to 60 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained $149.00 mutations we can see that so far we don't have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 all we have now is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics but just aggregate information and signal their progress what solution may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have too few patients so statistically analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine is not to prevent infection itself but to prevent this is jewish and when everyone gets infected several to use the right indeed almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. russia has registered $500.00 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours that brings the total to more than $2317.00 people have died partial lockdown have been imposed in moscow and large parts of the country president putin addressed the nation on monday

urging people to stay at home. so we when human special focus should be on the elderly who are in the risk group today expanded she workers very important here everyone people over 65 and their families should know that people in this age group must stay home now they must be told if you want to stay healthy and alive you must stay home we care about you but please care about yourselves too. well so far russia has stopped short of total lockdown as seen elsewhere in the world here in the capital starting from yesterday people are allowed to leave their homes with absolutely necessary that includes taking out the trash buying food or going to work if their jobs are deemed essential walking the dog is also permitted if an option i want to find out how what moscow family is adapting to this new reality.

4 generations of one family whole self isolating together in a 4 room apartment 6 adults 2 teenagers and 3 young children. ok it does feel a bit crowded here 6. as you can see live go zone even when you are cooped up indoors for this family that means keep doing all the things you love best as much as you can self isolation does not have to be boring but i know there are not other kids has some concerns that. all of us stay home it's always good when the families hope but when to use to that normally all of us a whole when the weekend no we have to work study and self organize but not everyone is good at it just can't wake up some people early. does and no like

the of course she's absolutely mant. was. the schools may be closed but that doesn't mean it's time to relax all universities colleges and schools and mosques have moved on line so to keep studying all you need is a good internet connection. you hear me well. keeping people on line is the job of their dad andrei he works at one of moscow's biggest providers nowadays remotely and says they're fully prepared for the new reality. but don't think efficiency will fall a lot it's still possible to work from home because our company is people like to call it now is digital most important thing is to have remote access working and i think it's going to be fine the company will happily. with people unable to go to work the self-employed are among the most vulnerable anna runs her own business

together with her sister. just because i work in the creative sector both in it and then die under damus fear will just stop working this worries me even more than the fact that they can also get sick i'm a photographer and they call and work from home i need to interact with people selfies elision is just impossible is what i do ludmer is 79 has more than ready to handle the challenges ahead. you know. back in the soviet union we had a saying when the party says do it's the calm small replies yes and today we have to follow the same principle if the government says it has to be done that has to be done people say western democracy is the thing to strive for that's how we have to live but there's a big problem when we see the democracies can unite in theory they are doing that but in reality each stands for itself. ludden remembers how his daughter in law

courts swine flu back in 2009 he believes called the 19 is no worse than that and the world will survive. good. she got sick with swine flu or it was a very worrying time back then we didn't see such a big panic. everyone is gathered in the kitchen listening to president putin's address to the nation this is just one of many russian families and families worldwide who decided to self isolate before even any request from authorities and an official lockdown hoping it will help stop the virus spreading and understanding only uniting the african counter this global threat reversion r.t. from moscow and please stay healthy speaking of uniting efforts presidents trump have agreed to work together to counter the covert 19 pandemic i'll explain or

after this break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. they're just taking over all the alternative all kotick taking and killing as i say

the stage so that the snow was cold real choices i.e. the binary choice there was a little and only choice is if you say here you go borrow variable and both binary thing is not a chance for the arab states to slow to provide a new all picture of by the cold ted and start negotiations with. israel then on invited to negotiate them by to seeing what's being put on the table. and its community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell frac food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say

revolves around money. does he know each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes he gets a life where. you don't care and cares about you so your care mind. welcome back russia and the united states of agreed to work together to counter the global health crisis donald trump ability putin spoke by phone and discussed the economic fallout earlier russia and china sent several planeloads of medical aid to the united states and speaking outside the white house the president voiced his appreciation i have to say we've had great relationships with a lot of countries. china centers some stuff which was terrific russia said as a very very large plane load of things medical equipment which was very nice

other countries said just things that i was very surprised that very happily surprised we learned a lot we're learning a lot new york now has more confirmed cases of covert 19 in any other city in the world the empire state building is be lit up in the colors of an ambulance in honor of frontline medics chabris reports now from the big apple. the situation in new york worsening by the hour the state accounting for more than a 3rd of coronavirus cases in the country hospitals being pushed to the brink i've never felt so. physically and emotionally burdened in my life but i've never felt so deeply sad and distraught with more than 59000 confirmed cases in new york and more than 8500 hospitalized officials are scrambling to deal with the influx of patients at the hospital itself they're

overrun with patients you know or your message last night broke a record we handle 6500 calls a central park now a field hospital with 68 hospital beds but officials say the worst is yet to come take a look at this screen video it shows teams setting up a makeshift morgue outside of bellevue hospital hospital in queens the bureau with the most coronavirus cases in the city possibly hit the hardest well hurst hospital has hit capacity and there's about 545 beds in here and they're all filled with cold the patients the u.s. navy ship comfort finally arriving in new york equipped at the 1000 hospital beds and 1200 medical personnel to vessel is sorely needed to help the coronavirus fight in new york as the city remains the epicenter of the outbreak in the u.s. the idea here with the corps of engineers with thema. and with the state and local officials is to work in collaboration so that we can provide skilled medical

professionals. to take some pressure off the local and state health care system without with our army professionals as a contagion continues to strain the capacities of hospitals and brick and mortar facilities new york remains on lockdown but we put in place in new york pause program today i am going to extend it to april 15th the directive that non-essential state work. forced continue to work from home the c.d.c. also issuing a travel advisory for new york new jersey and connecticut rhode island national guard was door knocking homes mandating all new york visitors south korean teen this is not a lock there is a travel advisory to be implemented by the states meantime president trump has extended social distancing guidelines to able to get reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. hundreds of people in mexico have blocked checkpoints on the u.s.

border over fears of infected americans entering the country mexico has around 1900 cases compared to more than 160000 north the border protesters brought lanes with vehicles and hold up signs telling us visitors to stay at home and activists are saying anyone entering mexico should 1st be tested for the novel coronavirus we heard from one of those campaigners luis and on this. the decisions of the border with the united states was jus' a covert 19 we call on the mexican government to take more responsible measures arrivals from the u.s. need to be conscientious and stay at home to prevent mexico from descending into chaos we will monitor the government to check it takes necessary actions but if it doesn't we will come and block the border again. there are u.s. citizens who come to mexico to buy our products on a large scale like rice we ask americans not to come to mexico they would leave us without our essential and. they must not come or tensions will grow and we as

citizens will need to take measures stay at home americans don't come to mexico we won't be able to cope with a pandemic. in the tiny city of hand where the cove in 1000 outbreak started life is beginning to return to normal there been no new cases registered in the last week and doctors brought into the city in january returning home restrictions on the mental gradually being lifted across china allowing factories and businesses to reopen the number of active cases has been in steady decline since february he spoke to john ross senior fellow at the chung institute and when men university in china he says that countries need to learn from china's experience of tackling the virus situation is actually getting back to. normal. but it is less than what people don't understand is that the outbreak in western europe and in the night states is much much worse than the one in china because this is it's not very meaningful to make comparison absolute numbers when china's

population is some much bigger than that of other countries it's more than 4 times the case of the size of the state's population 23 times the size of italy's population that means that for example that when you have the same number of cases in italy and in china this actually means the situation is 23 times as bad in italy and intensity the situation in the united states in terms of the population is 10 times as bad as the situation and this is because they're not taking the extreme the rigorous measures that i'm not making mark wearing compulsory they're allowing people to go out and if you do this the number of cases will continue right then and all of our people stay at home you know put in place a tremendous infrastructure you've got to do that with them you've got deliver essential medical supplies certainly it's an all out social mobilization and the fact that john adams correct uncrate so so far throughout western europe and

throughout the united states a number of cases of drugs and very fast broadcasting to you from our studios in moscow london and washington d.c. stay with us here in r.t. for round the clock coverage as we bring you the latest updates on the coronavirus pandemic. well done charles dickens captured the moment christmas carol being a condemnation of capitalism wasn't yes you know the ghost of christmas future was neoliberalism visiting upon the president to try to warn people what happens when you financial wise the global economy and you do 3 or 400 years with the consumption today christmas being a holiday of consumption losing its significance as a spiritual soulful occasion and here we are you know we've all been very very

naughty and we've all been sent to our room and we're all sitting in our rooms now thinking about what we did this is a moment of self reflection for the global community to sit in your room and think about what you. are. going to do you must. to do. charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom. with the sound of a $23.00. but. within 4 green walls. it's using. to help him to leave this room.

greetings and salutation. on a chilly tuesday evening with the full moon high in the sky here at this house of big gambles and long shots the political world here in the united states was shaken to its very core because it was here at canterbury park in minnesota that the former wrestler a hollywood actor and the mayor of brooklyn park minnesota jesse ventura shocked the world and became the 38th governor in the state of minnesota today and watching the hawks we will look back on that historic win and take a look at his time in office and the true changes that he implemented and the

things he fought for in his battles with the political establishment and the mainstream media so take a journey with us as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of governor jesse ventura. so you would know the. thank you. couldn't we. this is. what caused me to run for governor i kind of french myself to help us celebrate and remember the 20th anniversary of the political campaign that shocked the world former governor jesse ventura was joined by several key figures in his campaign ministration campaign chairman dean barkley.

the campaign advertising guru political strategist. running mate. school teacher made. and finally the communications director for the ministration. really was the one that got me interested in the 3rd party movement because i've always been anti democrat and republican and in my neighborhood up there all of a sudden i started seeing nice barkley signs for congress or senate congress barkley barkley. who's this barkley this independence party at the time. and so on valverde. i realize that the majority of the independence party a great many of them were disgruntled democrats and republicans who feel the system's failing and they want something new and so and i felt that way also.
