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's 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 on the rise there as the country enters its 3rd week of lockdown. and new york orders an investigation into why am isn't sacked a warehouse manager after he led a strike of a protected staff against coronavirus. hello

this is art international from moscow has just turned 2 pm you know this wednesday my name is kevin 0 in one welcome to this 30 minute world news roundup the 1st the latest figures in about covert 19 more than 872000 cases of now been confirmed globally more than 43000 people have lost their lives and 884000 have recovered here in russia 440 new coronavirus cases have been registered in the last 24 hours with the total number reaching 277724 people have died here. and in the headlines today 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. manufacturers are able to step up production themselves moscow hopes they might be

able to offer help back here to russia in return if it's needed later on with the details eco's down off century 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 falling into this category of this particular batch of help of aid was pre-agreed of by lattimer putin and donald trump as the 2 presidents spoke over the phone this choose day 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 in 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 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 under stuff they have been

working long hours the u.s. military even had to use 2 of its hospitals warships to help our would 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. on the news the chief doctor at russia's main hospital treating coburg 19 patients has tested positive himself delish prod saying code is widely seen as the public face of the country's current containment strategy against infections and all spittle where he works here in moscow and is currently treating several 100 people there's a person called president putin last week when he visited the hospital and shook his hand the kremlin though says mr putin's been tested regularly and quote feels well at the moment dr process has given several t.v. interviews recently too including to us where he said moscow is ready should the situation worse and. put up a new 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 want to do i'm looking at what's happening in the world and there are several scenarios if we have a scenario like the one in china which i hope the for us it will be finished by may or june so by the end of spring if we experience an explosive scenario by the woman store in italy and september will be a good outcome for us. of a fraction 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 with this thought 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. elsewhere the lockdown in france has been extended to april the 15th as the country deals with over 5000 known infections and 3500 deaths due for stay at home regime is mentally taxing for everyone but for some the dangers are far worse 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 france harm 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 nearly this is often used to 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 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 is 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 troubling. translating is empty domestic violence during epidemic also went viral people 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 will 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 compelling. millions of children around the world will likely face increasing threats to the safety and wellbeing including mistreatment gender based violence exploitation social exclusion and separation from caregivers because actions taken to contain the spread of the 19 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 soulful

isolation measures given that social workers aren't able to make regular calls in person home 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 with an abuser. 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 even ski artsy paris the problem is not restricted from sick or self isolation is seen domestic violence increase in countries around the world there is also a spike in divorce up locations as families struggle to get along in close proximity for so long to message abuse survivor and campaign a racial williams told us it's important to take preventative measures before it's

too late. with the rise we've seen across the d.m.z. and countries in luck. you see i think 40 and 50 percent increase rise and we know this is going to be coming to the u.k. and we need to be paid and going forward. you know is literally a pandemic upon a time to make and they are not things that can be done before we have this massive influx and i mean in the u.k. we've seen 9 deaths in the last 3 days and 2 with those with a perpetrator this is so 2 families as being like days and 3 separate killings that would mean i think we've seen a dry a new and cases of domestic issues being reported and also then the

ones who have been living with this for a while and for many years may be that name they feel that it's really had to be unlocked with the to the trade to for 247 and i think it's people reach and i am because they cannot take it anymore. the mayor of new york so did an investigation into why amazon sucked to work who'd let a walk out of the concerns of staff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus we spoke to 5 warehouse manager explain to us just how worried employees are. i 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 for the 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 him it's always depleted. the 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 a sanitized destiny state and do it in a bin now with a new dad then we should be happy we should be forced to work you know we're not as a sense to our health is not as essential as they want us to be and just not fair and it's not right when the other side of this imus in the sissified chris smalls offered ignored instructions to stay home for 14 days after apparently coming into contact with a colleague who tested positive but he claims it's more about amazon's bottom line

. then notice that i was called an uproar l j a k a staten island building 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 we'll go bill go above the head and we'll go to city hall. and we'll fight with the government and so the government steps in and shut the bill down to keep posting on it this is all it's international law the thing so watching we're reporting worldwide is countries tackle the pandemic ongoing wall street's warning now that the u.s. is staring another mortgage crisis more on what that means for america's cash strapped families after the break.

because there's survival guide book stacey just want to start simply putting all these are. you sure there are you going to get a bad. back to. good suze a repatriation team will get the rest in 7 years. philip to separate the treasury for. micrographs sions art slights against you know whites or men for example there's there's fights against women or war on nonwhite so it's it's it's always the idea is that statements that directed toward

a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying or rather than or more than we need to call attention to them but it's not so it's a very political and. again the u.s. is the country with the most known infections currently more than 180000 more than 4000 have died as hospitals refocus their resources than officials in several states want to spawn non-essential surgery now including pregnancy terminations and that sparked a backlash we cannot let any borson activists dictate public health policy

a global pandemic is not an excuse to attack essential time sensitive medical procedures like abortion texas had imposed the harshest penalties for abortion facilities who violated the ban including a $1000.00 fine and 6 month jail but on monday the federal judge told texas also alabama in the 2 that they couldn't ban abortions because of the pandemic however other states including oklahoma iowa mississippi are still suspending the procedure to preserve medical supplies while over in washington state and even the pandemic epicenter of new york police are continuing to operate as an essential service pro-life companies said the judge's intervention sets a dangerous precedent. it is devastating to see ephedra will judge ruled that abortion is more important than public safety it sets a dangerous precedent killing unborn children is the legal genocide that is still deemed necessary and essential during a deadly global pandemic we found out obstetrician gynecologist dr margaret and

women's rights advocate resurface. governments or limit seeing all 'd connections to just very essential services that are life and who are necessary for a life. of fortune is really not one of those it's more of a convenience issue something that is more related to. choice rather than something that is essential for life or death women have the right to obtain an abortion until we decide that that is no longer the law layer that stands and with that being the case to say that an abortion is a luxury or a choice isn't quite accurate something like plastic surgery or something like an elective procedure where you can you know do something to augment how you look that's a choice whereas a woman choosing to not carry

a child is essentially within her right a constitutional right and it's a medical procedure that has a very set time frame in which she needs to happen it's not just about you know it states and of course rights if anybody is making a political i think it's planned parenthood. but what we want to do is preserve life whether it's life of adults that are supposed to coronavirus or there's a life of the unborn susceptible to death and their mothers and planned parenthood is actually threw up and sold this 1st couple days planned parenthood has been killing more children every single day them the viruses killed completely total in the united states since the beginning when it started a couple of months ago abortions don't take place in hospitals so to remick abortions based on preserving hospital that's doesn't even make sense because they're done in private clinics so all the the the truth of the matter is is that this is pretextual and when you have a pretext or to restrict rights to civically constitutional rights you're in

a very dangerous place because the pandemic. essentially could be used. you start our constitutional right in pretty much any other arenas we're using all this person productive footman for no necessary or unnecessary or an essential. procedures when we meet them on the front lines i have one mess one in the mess that i've been using over and over and over and over 2 weeks and that's all i have for the next month. whoa abortionists are going through these several you know let's say several 1000 for a week while those of us who are truly being affected by this virus. the world economies continue to take a hammering jaring the pandemic slowdown millions are out of work and struggling to pay their bills on wall street there's a warning shot now too that another mortgage crisis is on the way and it will be worse than the credit crunch of 2008 more on that from kind of mopane. 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 9 but it had some sense because then it was a credit crisis 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 there's so. lucian there 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 of martin artsy new york. some other news after spending 2 years trying to force venezuelan president nicolas maduro out of government and putting opposition leader one guy don't his place the u.s. government's trying a new tack the state department's plan now is for both men to stand aside while their respective parties form a transitional government ahead of fresh elections and in return for all that the lifting of sanctions is out. 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 if so 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 elected member of the national assembly representing both sides would create a an acceptable council state to serve as the transitional government into a presidential and national assembly elections could be held we hope within 6 to 12 months both nicolas maduro and one where 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

recognize the national assembly president wanted to i you know as the interim president of venezuela joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate president of venezuela who want to idaho $21.00 other governments in the region and across the world have joined the united states and recognizing going to know 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. wrapping up this live update from a teasmade studios in moscow for now i'm kevin owen funk you for watching i can tell you to at this time every day we'll continue to bring it live bulletins from here in russia and then our teams around the world take over 247 they're all it teams in london and washington d.c. around the clock 2 you can find the latest headlines at r.t. dot com and across the various social media in which way you check in with us this is international. going.
