sure mr you should goodall for one who's your do the. parties headline news this thursday april the 2nd europe's a lot tempers fray pharmacy workers in france report abuse while in italy food supplies and economic hardships push people to the. big big change 3 people keep losing their jobs remain locked up or risk of a crisis much worse than anything before internal e.u. squabbling stalls much needed financial help for struggling countries like italy to weather the economic fallout with members are uneasy at sharing the pandemic in jews dead. and the pentagon tries to source around 100000 body bags and with shortages and overrun facilities in the us with a number of deaths is expected to soar in the coming weeks.

his art international from moscow is just 1 pm here this thursday my name is kevin 0 in welcome to this 30 minute world news round up 1st these are the latest figures in the covert 1000 pandemic today the total number of coronavirus cases around the globe is very now towards a 1000000 the number of deaths continues a troubling rise to it's now more than $48000.00 with billions on the locked out over 200000 people though have recovered. france has no surpassed 4000 coronavirus related deaths and 57000 registered cases perhaps surprisingly those on the front line of treating the sick are reporting

that they're suffering violence and abuse while nurse says she was attacked as thieves stole the face masks she was carrying and pharmacy workers say they're now also suffering physical and verbal abuse since strict quarantine rules were imposed our system shows a 50 to 60 percent increase in aggressive action against pharmacists since the beginning of the isolation regime compared to the same weeks last year these actions include insoles threats but also physical attacks and break ins in neighboring italy the lock downs have been extended but difficulty in buying food is seeing some resort to theft shiela do penske's got the story. it started in solidarity and song to keep up spirits. but now off to 3 weeks of lockdown the mood and dangers are

apparently evolving they are no longer singing dancing on the balconies now people are more afraid not so much of the virus but of poverty many are out of work and hungry even though in the poorer southern regions the impact of covert 19 has been less dramatic than in the north they too are in confinement and just people run out of food and money so dissipate as residents are becoming desperate police are now patrolling supermarkets and streets in some areas no longer just to make sure that people are staying indoors but to stop thieves we need to act fast more than that distress into violence as supplies dry up reports are emerging that gangs around sicily are using social media to plot attacks on stores

this comes after a ferry company that used to deliver vital supplies of food and medicine to the island fell into bankruptcy and has halted its services it's not just the stores that are under threat local media has also reported that 2 elderly italians were rolled off their shopping by young people on scooters targeted apparently because they were seen as easy prey civil unrest is some suggest a real concern i'm afraid that the worries gone are a thank doing large sections of the population over help him. the future with the continuation of the crisis will turn into ungar hatred that warning has been echoed by the head of the red cross which believes italy won't be the only country impacted by social unrest if the lock downs continue in the most difficult

neighborhoods of the biggest cities i'm afraid in a few weeks who have social problems this is a social bomb that can explode at any moment because they don't have any way to have an income even though italy's prime minister conte has said his government too will designate 400000000 euros for food vouchers as part of the why don't release package may say that the funds simply aren't enough we were expecting more and i hope the government will find a way the situation is extremely delicate as a significant part of the population has 0 income those who before lived with dignity now find themselves in difficulty quarantine in italy has been extended until at least april the 12th but as with other countries that is not a definitive end date and while covert 19 may be gutting the country italy soon could have to fight back against

a very different kind of threat schalit even ski r.t. paris italy's economy was already fragile before the virus hit no locals fear this latest impact might mean their lives never return to normal. when i leave my home here in florence do some shopping i feel the situation has really become more dramatic the streets are empty and i see police officers doing their checks everywhere i'm not really afraid for myself but i do feel worried about the situation in general if things don't change soon and people keep losing their jobs remain locked up or we risk of a crisis much worse than anything before. one minute this is one of the hardest moments we have ever had to endure we're trying to move forward despite all the sadness what people see in the future well i think it will be very hard especially for local businesses who are already starting to go bankrupt to help our government will help and europe will not abandon us the people local people are said because

of the squire and though we are easily to each child or friends. and basically what the perception off of they look for is that there will never go back to their normal life. even after after their love down this is due to the fact there are so many company many services all the restaurants were shut down definitely after the crisis even investments from there you know you're beyond you you know on central banks are not good enough where before a corner. sort of crisis will be a war does and a decent this is our perception of the world the isolated italians meantime still keeping their spirits up with music and song from their balconies one neighborhood's definitely loved being serenaded by

a professional opera singer no less. the one that was there not the last one the lovely lovely. lui was the last. one will will will will. well that's courtney mills who's been telling us how the popularity of the video being shared widely online is helping her overcome the difficulties at home to be. the plan wasn't actually to make a video. once they closed all of the streets and everything in rome they made an announcement on t.v. that people would get together in solidarity to sing difference arms for 3 nights in a row and on this night we went out and everyone sang the national anthem together and then my neighbors asked me to sing another song so i sang this line and my friend fell but it was definitely not planned my friend uploaded it to face and i got a lot of it is that i share it and then it just kind of. crazy it helps that i how

so many people reaching out to me after this video. and they said that i have helped them but really they have helped me a lot and i have my family and my friends but i'm here by myself and. it's really hard you know. yeah well the pump makes proving to be a litmus test for solidarity in the e.u. the reluctance of germany and other wealthy european nations to share the financial burdens infuriated italy or europe correspondent peter all of those closer that impasse. away from quarantine and self isolation the very future of how the european union sees itself may be at risk from this corona pandemic will it look back and see a union that stick together through tough times or one that fell apart a group of the talian officials took out a full page police in a major german newspaper that told at the heartstrings it is solidarity that you

germans were showing by many european countries after the war and often to reunification did german friends memory helps in making the right decisions the crux of the letter is hope hope that the financial burden for dealing with coronavirus will be shared out amongst member states it echoes what had previously been said by the italian prime minister just said he can't take talking about mutual izing current and future debt not harping back to world war 2. again i wanted so old german citizens were not right in the beach overdosed on economics by the beach of a history book germany's hardly greeted those pleas with open arms maintaining that the 2012 european state billeted mechanism is the only option. so it is no to corona bombs yes to the european stability mechanism and investment bank i think

that is the way to hope europe and at the same time to maintain the stability of the euro in the long term that response has left some in rome angry europe has enjoyed italy's political weakness for many decades italy today does not want to be a waiter while others are eating lobster is like france and germany if you plan to take advantage of the emergency to bring countries like italy or other countries with more fragile economies to their needs europe will have no future. well i'm fairly old made a show of removing the flag from his office replacing it with the italian trickle or it's a symbolic gesture for sure but what it does show is that there are some member states that are increasingly disappointed in a union that supposed to look out for everyone's interests not being particularly forthcoming when it comes to helping those in dire need deal not only with

a pandemic but also with the economic impact it will also have peter all over r.t. belin. the pentagon is trying to source 100000 body bags right now the united states currently has the world's highest number of infections and white house officials say the virus could play more than 2 100000 lives in the country more than a 1000 died on wednesday alone the highest daily number so far the situation's getting so tough in new york that refrigerated trucks are being stationed near overwhelmed hospitals to try to cope with the rising among to deaths as are to america's trinity chevy's report. as the 2nd month of the corona virus outbreak begins in the nation is bracing for the worst of it i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead this disturbing video showing several bodies being moved from a brooklyn hospital treating kovac 19 patients the number of deaths expected to grow as we approach the anticipated apex the range on the apex is somewhere

between. let's say 7 to 21. makeshift hospitals are wrecked across new york city the javits center central park and now parts of the tennis center that host the u.s. open this as concerns grow that hospitals will soon run out of protective equipment for staff and medical supplies including those lifesaving ventilators which governor cuomo says are nearly impossible to get it's like being on e bay with 50 other states bidding on a ventilator. and you see the bid go up because california bid illinois bit florida bid new york bids california rebids that's literally what we're doing new york city mayor bill de blasio calling on all veterinarians and plastic surgeons to lend their ventilators if you've got a ventilator in your office in your operating room we need it now it should not be

sitting there doing nothing all officials are still working to flatten the curb in new york governor cuomo believes the apex will hit the state at some point in april reporting in new york city chavez r.t. thousands of sailors on the 1st u.s. warship on deployment to report an outbreak will be taken off the vessel by friday more than $100.00 personnel of theodore roosevelt craft carrier have tested positive on the quarantining but it's really difficult with stuff in such close proximity to one another it's proved a real challenge the evacuation will be carried out in the u.s. pacific territory of guam where the ships currently docked although that's a concern in itself which could see facilities overstretched yawn and so he got a couple of 100 hospital beds and is already dealing with nearly 80 local infections the u.s. warships cruel now self isolated military bases and local hotels although some will have to stay on board one thing i want to emphasize as well is that we cannot and

will not remove all the say or from the ship and that's not what the commanding officer requested either nor the medical team our plan has always been to remove as much of the crew as we can while maintaining for the ship's safety this ship has weapons on it it has munitions on it it has expensive aircraft and it has a nuclear power plant that requires a certain number of people on that ship to maintain the safety and security of the ship from a pentagon analyst michael maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when there's an outbreak on a military vessel. it's very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise and a cruise ship which also was infected on an aircraft carrier a destroyer or submarine you don't have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the captain because they do what they because they're all 247 duty they do what they call hot toddy where's the someone who's on duty gives up his bed as someone else sleeps at it i mean it's that close they confide and as

a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if you're in the open ocean is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladder holding the same areas constantly and to keep those areas germ free is it's going to be a much would be a monumental task. the un's warning about global uncertainty and keeping grocery supplied in the u.s. alone food bags are struggling to meet demand and the farming industry is drawing to a halt caleb maupin reports the pandemic and the economic fallout has left a number of americans in need of assistance to banks where low income americans can turn to survive are now struggling themselves they're overwhelmed by people desperate for help. it's the speed that is hitting us that is making it so difficult to contend with the current immense he's got to have in place where not to sound sort of the numbers of people who need help hardly ideal that the food

bank donations have been cut in half at a time when its use are growing rapidly in just one week over 3000000 americans have turned to meal centers banks and kitchens for any help that they can yet it's an issue that goes far wider as well production and american agriculture is on the brink as a result it means that the food supply is fast becoming a global problem we risk a looming food crisis unless measures are taken fos to protect the most from rabbo keep global food supply chains alive and mitigate the pandemics impacts across the food system in a situation like this the policies of individual countries can have a global impact in the united states here essentially workers are not getting any extra pay for the risk they take when it comes to corona virus spreading as a result agricultural workers are demanding more as they work to keep the shelves of our supermarkets full it's almost overnight the food workers went from being an

afterthought in people's minds to suddenly being essential work should not have taken a pandemic of global proportions for us to realize that food workers literally feed us some fear that this could be chool little too late with the supply chain already in danger of breaking down it seems that amid the pandemic the very fabric of everyday life in the united states is coming apart or actually our federal government despite having all of the signs did not take them very very seriously and they did not do proliferate planning that would prevent the need for people to have to wait on line and have to depend on the banks in a moment like this this is not just poor people or low people who have to depend on this this is the elderly. and people in the middle class people who have recently been laid off we also have farm workers who are not protected and are not being given the current information that they need to protect themselves and their

children many of these farm workers are also undocumented people and even the these 3 stimulus that we just passed in the united states does not apply to them so they are not covered they're not protected they're ill informed and that is a recipe for in really really big crisis if we don't have people who could harvest our food that are healthy food is going to rot that food is not going to be distributed code that 19 is basically a magnifying glass in elucidation on all of the systems in our country that were already in crisis the system being one of them we're reporting world wide here not internationalists countries tackle the pandemic on the way we'll tell you what's happening here in russia we factions are slowly but steadily rising but more and more regions are you full see isolation to the challenge of staying safe while keeping the country running even after this.

it is now a time in america for the sort of class the workers who are making minimum wage they can't survive they have to have 2 or 3 minimum wage jobs they're rising up they're going on strike. so one of the fallouts the in $1000.00 play won't be much higher wages long overdue. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true or what is.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or image in the shallows. again thanks for watching out international this hour here in russia 771 new coronavirus cases were confirmed earlier this thursday with the total number jumping to over 3500 there's been 30 deaths so far here the russian president to make another nationwide address later this thursday to give an update on the country's response to the coronavirus is last announcement saw him to clear a non-working a week this happening right now to get people to stay at home it runs until this

coming sunday dozens of regions across russia are imposing itself isolation regimes meaning people can only go outside to buy food medicines and for emergencies moscow's streets are usually bustling with people and traffic but not this week russian prime ministers also allocated around $33000000.00 to support the economies worst hit sectors including air travel tourism hospitality and sports fans will also be made available for carers who are helping elderly people and for russians stuck abroad not all shuttered businesses are expected to come out of this intact but necessity is the mother of invention as they say and there's been a surge in solidarity to see them through more on that next from our correspondent eco standoff. from enterprises to tiny local coffee shops the coronavirus pandemic has thrown all kinds of businesses into the basket of potential bankruptcy and in the face of woe the normally dog eat dog corporate world in russia turned into more of

a dog play pen. yandex is russia's biggest tech company and mail dot ru group is one of its most bitter rivals but both see the new pandemic a much bigger adversary than each other along with 2 government world funds and the business lobby group the 2 created an alliance designed to help out companies and customers alike to wither the economic storm or objective here is right now it's not so much about profit it's only logical to cooperate all the good of the society and leave the competition and start what i want what we want to do is we want to be in terms of taking the lead role helping. the community so it's not a time to the right well it's time to unite the mail dot ru group will be spending a 1000000 and a quota dollars to help medium and small businesses in russia on top of that it has waived all fees for cafes and restaurants using their food delivery app

a bold move since this particular market is among the very few actually showing revenue today what is important for us is a treat to keep the small businesses who continue running by offering the coalition a lot of it down to their own enabling down to their on the river is another industry decimated by coronavirus travel restrictions tourism the pandemic has pushed moscow hotels to search for a new purpose. from the hilton to the marriott moscow's luxury hotels have offered their rooms to the government to be used to house covert 9. patience i talked on the phone with a russian billionaire me how you'll good summary of who came up with the idea of greece to the story it would take up to 2 months to build a hospital from scratch with a hotel we already have rooms in beds so it's already made hospital what's

important now is to treat people. online streaming services have either rolled out discounts or offered free subscriptions all together the conductor's social networks russia's analog of facebook has also been working to keep its audience more engaged than ever encouraging its content creators specifically over the last week we had. rates up by 10 percent if you use our by 16 percent and now on lange in the daily audience is up by 10 percent or we have a lot of fly streams every day and. now we're looking for a new partners. or exclusive content coronaviruses definitely not giving a boost to the economy but it could teach businesses new tricks which will help them push forward their recovery reporting from self quarantine done of r.t.

. to check what else is having world in most countries restrictions on movement only seem to be growing not so still in sweden because ins are in place but unlike most of its european neighbors so even shops cafes and primary schools are staying open there's no lockdown as such and the borders are open only the most at risk groups are being told to stay at home sweden's got almost 5000 registered cases now and more than 200 people have died a different approach in the poor the police there are keeping their distance while enforcing the lock down and tackling people who are floating the rules the south asian countries only registered 5 infections so far and no deaths have been reported thus far. so right now billions have been told to stay at home and news channels are more in demand than ever but keeping the information rolling means a major shift in oberle cost is like us get the job done shut it was dashed the next shows you have the team at r.t. u.k. armed wing it. a rolling don't get to close the biggest story in town in fact the

only story in town is of course the coronavirus crisis but breaking news it's organized chaos and it is in the driving seat journalists working flat out and correspondents like me in the deep end but with this story is simply can't be like that the government advice is to stay at home in order to stop the spread and anyone that can work from home a r t does but in order to broadcast live television as you at least need some people here myself included in the office and in the studio so those of us that have to be here are at least spaced out 2 metres apart with plenty of hand washing a liberal use of hand sanitizer to behind the scenes one absolutely bare minimum and one that's not essential to the tax team is kicked out after they've done their set up good news for the lighting rig this is the room we call studio b. where our guests come to do live interviews but now they're all on video link so i

guess it's just gathering dust before i go in am i need to look presentable and even though the make up artist is here as an extra caution and doing it myself usually i'd sit next to a news anchor bill but in order to maintain that 2 metres distance i'm all the way over here hi belle. stay safe and keep watching for the latest you know absolutely throughout all this we keep you posted on the clock 24 serve not only from here of moscow but also with their anchors and reporters and suitors rather world as you see contributing to along with our web and social media teams as we all get through these tricky times together we continue to bring you the best possible coverage so for now from r.t. h.q. here in moscow this thursday you showed he was saying stay safe well i'm kevin 0 in thank you for watching.

a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace the shoot of. a turtle between the and the. paddy on max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know stacey i was thinking about this whole world economy and the way things are going and it's like are flying over the bermuda triangle you know and all the dials and everything and the dash board are going in opposite directions are we going upside down are we upside up we're not sure it's like all so confusing that's because thing.
