in the headlines from moscow this 1st of april a russian aircraft with medical help is on route to the united states with a message that there is no alternative but to act together as cases rise across the u.s. . domestic violence victims in france are to be accommodated in hotels abuse cases wrong rises the country enters its 3rd week of locked. new york orders an investigation into why amazon sacked a warehouse manager after he led a strike over protecting stuff against coronavirus.

hello this is art international from moscow has just turned 1 pm in now this wednesday my name's kevin owen will welcome into this 30 minute we'll do is round up and 1st these are the latest figures in the covert 19 pandemic to digest more than 860000 cases have now been confirmed globally more than 43000 people have lost their lives and 182000 though have recovered here in russia 440 new corona virus cases have been registered in the last 24 hours with the total number reaching 277724 people have died. other developments a russian military aircraft loaded with medical and protective equipment is on its way to the united states to help the country tackle the coronavirus pandemic and

once u.s. money or factures are able to step up production themselves moscow hopes they might be able to offer help back here in russia or in return if it's needed later on with the details he goes down off. sensually russia is following its own pattern of helping those countries that have been by this covert 19 pandemic the worst the united states being the world's sadly leader in the number of cases is certainly fall into this category of this particular batch of help. was pre-agreed a by lattimer putin and donald trump as the 2 presidents spoke over the phone this tuesday and within 24 hours russian military jets were and route to the united states carrying medical masks and necessary medical equipment and now russia is essentially saying is sending the message here that the whole world is in this pandemic together and each country should be able to be helping out other countries to the extent that it can that it can afford to here's what russia what russian

president's spokesman has said about this when the existence situation affects everyone without exception and is global in character there is no alternative but to act together in the spirit of partnership and mutual assistance so the question is the situation of the u.s. so serious that russia's selling equipment that it might need itself a bit further down the line well absolutely both countries are of course suffering from this pandemic but the scale as so far at least is absolutely in comparable in the united states the total number of cases is rapidly reaching 200000 people for instance more than 4000 lives have been claimed already by covert 19 on the territory of the united states and medics on the ground have been reporting an alarming shortage of the very necessary medical equipment necessary meaning for them to efficiently fight of this disease they have been understaffed they have

been working long hours the u.s. military even had to use 2 of its hospital warships to help. deal with this pandemic with a number of cases experts are also saying that by most optimistic projections the pandemic can claim more than 200000 lives in the united states and pessimists well they put these numbers in the millions so essentially any bit of help any bit of aid that the united states is getting right now is welcomed there 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 things that i was very surprised that very happily surprised we learned a lot we're learning

a lot so it looks like the united states are indeed counting on foreign aid to be able to more efficiently fight this covert 1000 pound demick as for russia it is saying that when american manufacturers step up their own production when they become self-sufficient then more school expects reciprocity when or if need be the chief doctor rushes main hospital treating covert 1000 patients as tested positive him self that is producing co is widely seen as the public face of the country's containment strategy right now against infections the hospital where he works is here in moscow and is currently treating several 100 people that as part of president putin last week when he visited the hospital and shook his hand the kremlin though says mr putin is being tested regularly and feels well at the moment daughter has given several t.v. interviews recently too including to us where he said moscow is ready should the situation worse. but in most cases health department has been taking

measures like buying a large number of ventilators so how many ventilators are there now in moscow. there are currently around $5000.00 already in use in hospitals across moscow we need to understand that this number includes not just ventilators but also anesthetic machines which if we turn off the anesthesia supply these can in fact work as ventilators to get to sleep or are you predicting that this will and by september you're smart to do i'm looking at what's happening in the world and there are several scenarios that if we have a snarl like the one in china i hope for us it will be finished by may or june so by the end of spring if we experience an explosion like the woman sore in italy and september will be a good outcome for us. but no better option of so everybody should think about other people. of course currently moscow is prepared for covert 19 or. over but you need to surgically operate on people as well in the british record so at this in these kinds of situations and as we seen in italy multi-disciplinary

hospitals will only carry out emergency surgery strictly speaking a person with policy status or a hernia can wait for surgery just put another. lockdown in france has been extended to april the 15th as the country deals with over 5000 known infections and 3500 deaths the in for stay at home regime is mentally taxing for everyone but for some the dangers are far worse to a shiela do bensky reports next from paris. president marc cohen has described domestic violence against women as says shame or average one woman is killed by her partner every 3 days it's one of the highest femicide rates in europe crisis was conducive to terrorize and violence has also fran tom it can quickly go from psychological abuse to physical and sexual violence and can even lead to fantasize as france enters its 3rd week of lockdown it's becoming clear how

dangerous it's been for those in abusive relationships reports of domestic violence sought in paris they were up 36 percent across the rest of the country it was 32 percent to the victims were murdered uses of. militant humiliate representatives or feminists associations is that now it is believed that domestic violence is national problem and additionally are in crisis this means that the total number of cases of violence committed against women in relationships increased and instead of increasing the working time and. to work until 10 pm now due to lack of funds the service stops working at 7 pm given the surge over ports of domestic abuse france's gender equality minister has announced the government will pay for hotel rooms for victims it says pop up currently in centers will be

opened while an extra $1000000.00 euros is being funneled into empty domestic abuse organizations my biggest concern used to multiply the points of conduct was women as it is difficult for women to get out we want to make sure that support systems can reach them for many domestic abuse charities confinement under roys in domestic abuse was already a foregone conclusion there was already anecdotal evidence from. china this happened there with incidents reportedly trebling ash tag translating is empty domestic violence during epidemic also went viral even though this was in january so much questioning why european countries like france didn't put a safety net in place at the start the answer is that our politicians are simply ignoring women's rights that aren't human rights so basically they're very scared

now about the barriers but what about the safety of these women with children living in this houses you know trapped in with men who clearly have a raging hunger problem so you cannot control themselves until we don't raise the public opinion that domestic violence is essential until that day our quality shows keep thinking and treating this problem as a minor problem it's not just women who are too risk children's charities sounded the alarm to over the heightened risk of compiling. millions of children around the world will likely face increasing threats to the safety and well being including mistreatment gender based violence exploitation social exclusion and separation from caregivers because actions taken to contain the spread of the pandemic with children no longer in school and social distancing in place it's hold up the

younger victims of abuse to be recognized the problem is compounded by cell phone isolation measures given that social workers aren't able to make regular calls in person. is supposed to be the safest place that any of us can be right now for victims of abuse that small case it can mean being trapped in so i'd within a. limited access to help while the government in france has now recognized this it's already too late those who suffered abuse and desk in the 1st week of the lockdown show that even ski artsy paris the problem is not restricted to france of course the scene domestic violence increase in countries around the world there's also a spike in divorce supplications to his family struggle to get along in close proximity

for so long domestic abuse survivor and campaign rachel williams told us it's important to take preventative measures before it is too late. the raju said we've seen across the current countries that partly unlocked and we've seen a 304050 percent increase rise and we know this is going to be coming to the u.k. and we need to be paid going forward. you know is pandemic upon a pandemic and this lots of things that can be done before we have this massive influx i mean in the u.k. we've seen 9 deaths in the last 3 days and 2 are those who the perpetrators so 2 families have been by day. 3 separate killings of women but i think we've seen a rise in new and cases of domestic abuse being reported and also ben

the the ones who have been living with this for a while. for many years may be that know they feel that it's really had to be unlocked with the traits of the 247. and i think it's people reaching a because they cannot take it anymore. else where the marriage new york's ordered an investigation into why amazon sucked a worker who'd led a war coat over concerns that staff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus we spoke to the fired warehouse manager who explained to us just how worried employees are. organized this strike you know as a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because they're on say. we got people does home i haven't been paid what entire month of march. these people were underlining health conditions they got luke is they got bronchitis they guy asthma

we have an unknown amount of people that tested positive for the corona virus and then not being transparent with employees in ny caring about employees health we was asking for was to be protected they're not providing us with enough mask the proper type of gloves just not enough cleaning supplies within the building they're very scarce right now and am it's always depleted. to cleaning crew that they hired to clean the buildings they're scared to come to work themselves so. a lot of them haven't been showing up to work you know the people who are afraid to work in that building those types of buildings so the only thing amazon can do is listen to their people it we're asking the close the building down is sanitize it best in the state and do it if they're now within to do that then we shouldn't be have we should be forced to work you know we're not as a sense to our help is not as essential as they want us to be and just not fair and it's not right. insists fired chris smalls off to ignored instructions to stay home

for 14 days off to possibly come into contact with a colleague who tested positive but he claims it's more about bottom line here. and knows that i was called an uproar j.f.k. a staten island building that's one of the largest buildings in the tri state area holds about 5000 people. that's a lot of money that they make in that building a lot of money i'm effect in that i'm effect in the business by speaking out so they got rid of me probably to silence me to terminate me to stop the movement but i see empowered me so they motivated me even more and i'm going to continue to fight like i say we're going to if they won't do it then we are global go above the head and we'll go to city hall. and we'll fight with the government and so the government steps in to shut the building down. it's quite possible the altitude here in moscow this is an international high that we're reporting worldwide as countries continue to tackle upon them that coming up the wall street's warning

that the u.s. is staring at another mortgage crisis more and what that means for america's cash strapped families when we're back. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

all the alternative all critic. because i say the stage shows that there's no. cold real choices the binary choice there's a little and only choice is if you say to you. both binary thing is not a chance for the states to school to provide a new architecture revive the call ted and start negotiations with. israel then on invited to negotiate then by to to sink above quotes be put on the table. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's

a lot of conflict in the games between the most of the conflicts i would say. and most of them is made. close one on each other. each other is good because the state of california alone makes 6000000000 dollars a year of prison complex just to get some point to a life where. you don't care. anything. again this is art international the world economies continue to take a hammering during the pandemic slowdown millions are out of work and struggling to pay their bills on wall street there's a warning shot too that another mortgage crisis is on the way and that it will be worse than the credit crunch of 2008 caleb maupin reporting. in 2008 there was a global financial meltdown that affected almost every country in the world homes

across the usa were foreclosed and it appears we're heading in the same direction right now. donald trump signed emergency legislation on friday giving anyone who has a federally backed home loan the ability to apply for a 180 day forbearance now that will take the pressure off of homeowners however it means that payments over 7 trillion dollars of federally guaranteed mortgages could stuff and that leaves the banks without money now the federal reserve trying to save the situation by issuing over $250000000000.00 in the hopes of driving down

interest rates now this is a temporary measure aimed at helping banks get through the crisis but the bankers are showing signs of panic the mortgage bankers association penned a letter to regulators on sunday saying that the u.s. housing market is in danger of large scale disruption that government is decided to try to stroll money at this that was a problem back in 2008 and 90 but it had some sense because then it was a credit crisis and now the basic crisis is there is no virus and the cutting of production and all business activity which is a very different problem and so throwing money is not a good solution when the virus override it found out already get depended weak economy the problem has gotten worse but this. solution just to the

greater problem and a different problem as americans are staying home and trying to keep healthy they now have images of the 2008 economic horrors flashing through their minds this can only add to the current stress martin r.t. new york. some other news now after spending 2 years trying to force venezuelan president nicolas maduro out of government and putting opposition leader one go i don't is place the us government's trying a new tack the state department's plan is for both men to stand aside while their respective parties form a transitional government had a fresh elections in return for the lifting of sanctions is to try and go. it sounds like something out of a hawks nightmare the likes of john bolton for sure the man in charge of u.s. foreign ties spoke about stopping the venezuela sanctions that all remaining u.s. sanctions would be lifted it's not that some kind of virus with proma do or symptoms found its way into the state department there's

a whole bunch of it's in washington's new plan for the latin american troublemaker state and some of the conditions may raise quite a few eyebrows in this man's camp according to the so-called democratic transition framework it's not only nicolas maduro that shouldn't get a seat in the proposed transitional government why do is to step aside as well the elected member of the national assembly assembly representing both sides would create a an acceptable council of state to serve as the transitional government into a presidential and national assembly elections could be helped we hope within 6 to 12 months both nicolas maduro and wanted by the would accept the council of state as the sole executive during this transitional period and what a surprise the plan is to get people on board to for that new council with all the powers you can help asking how come when it's long been decided in d.c. that one white oh is the legitimate president of venezuela united states proudly

recognized national assembly president want why you know as the interim president of venezuela joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate president of venezuela who won 21 other governments in the region and across the world had joined the united states in recognizing going to go as venezuela's interim president for a while now the stars and stripes have counted on him he's been counting on their support helps been coming in all shapes and forms from a hailstorm of sanctions against the government to threats of sending the world's mightiest military to sort things out in caracas pulis material would do well not to test. the resolve of the united states. are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table when all of that didn't work the u.s. came up with. let's put it this way mission get the drug lord the indictment of

nicholas madero and his co-defendants alleges effort to flood the united states with cocaine but still none of that helped mr why do move the most stosh out of the way it could be because america's plans a b. c. d. etc just weren't right or good enough maybe it's because the support for nicolas maduro in the country is still strong enough to fight off all these regime change attempts or what if one is just not the right man to be that tough coup captain what if now the us administration thought so and found a way to begin to wrap up project why go anyway though unlike official caracas he chose to welcome america's newest plan we are taking the right steps to save venezuela it is time as i wrote yesterday for the user to take responsibility and accept the offer made by the international community which brings us to an absolutely different vision altogether washington could have just switched to

a more long term scheme when the trick is to lure in my circle of trust with concessions be it the socialist elite or the military and then move on to achieving d.c.'s cherished ultimate goal with still quite likely or without one why do you have a train go r t. ramping up this live update from artie's main studios here in moscow with me kevin owen thank you for watching at this time every day we'll continue to bring you live bulletins from here in russia of course and also later on in the day as well our teams around the world working around the clock to the stateside studios and teams will be here also check it out tito come and stay with our various social media to for all the latest from us we are. international.

just by the natural survival. now. that's undercutting what's good for market it's not good for the global economy.

oh and welcome to the r t interview one peter lobo donald trump's deal of the century has been put forward what does it say about the middle east geopolitics in even metaphysics i'm a game joined by former british and founder and director of conflicts forum alister welcome back to moscow where we meet we talk about the middle east you know when donald trump and his administration put forward their deal of the century for what we thought was going to be the the israeli palestinian conflict to be resolved actually is something much much more comprehensive and i've read dozens and dozens of articles about it they all pretty much say the same thing but your article recent article israel in the middle east a civilizational and metaphysical war this is so think very different looking at

the deal this century what's your thesis in this article simply the fact to recognize that israel. is more like any normal nationalism it's not like nationalism of russian nationalism or nationalism precisely because it was this was dictated by gold and it was. a civilization rolen metaphysical. came to the roman empire it came to the room and then and even the secular leaders of like who was very sick. all saw this not just as a nationalist project but the redemption of the human race is what he described i mean not the jewish people but the human race as a whole and it's in and it tells the jews exactly what

will be them that it will other states will submit to them they will provide their wealth honey milk will be coming to them and they will rule over this and in a sense this is what we're talking about it is the judeo christian civilizational project for the middle east it always always was that and now it is be actualized and the american ambassador friedman was very clear in the soft of the meetings in the east room of the white house he said listen you know this is the bible being actualized i mean living in the old testament to hold on to them it only the old testament the jewish bible the old testament and so this is what is coming and really the deal of the century was the sort of laying the foundations 1st of all for the palestinians to give tribute to this in this pax

today like pax romana you know the the province's the pa provinces of pax romana like spain became and gave their fealty. to rome and essentially it's providing that for the palestinians to come in on a subordinate status and acknowledge the new civilizational paradigm in the region that stage one then we move to later stages where it's going to extend jordan probably other states are expected to submit to new most of the arab states have already whole way john will get to that point that we took for maybe an american viewers here this sounds like. form of manifest destiny with an element of a missing the nick element to it yes well that's true i mean one i'm one in 4 americans say the evangelicals and even jericho's take feel testament very literally and they see that and they see.
