sharing the pandemic which used. pentagon tries to secure around 100000 body bags amid shortages and overrun facilities in the us where the number of deaths is expected to soar in the coming weeks. hello this is art international from moscow has just turned 3 pm here this thursday my name's kevin oh in a warm welcome to this 30 minute world news round up i'm 1st these the latest figures in the covert $1000.00 pandemic today the total number of coronavirus cases around the globe is varying towards a 1000000 the number of deaths to continues its troubling rise it's now more than $48000.00 with billions under lockdown over 200000 people have recovered.

let's start this hour the latest from russia 771 new coronavirus cases were confirmed earlier today with the total number jumping to over 3500 it's the biggest single day increase in patients since the start of the break so far there's been 30 deaths here the russian president is expected to deliver another nationwide address in the next hour or so to give an update on the country's response to the pandemic such detail reports next from central moscow. the moment we know that this is the 2nd address in the last 8 days the president putin will be making to the nation we know that it's going to happen sometime on thursday afternoon probably around 4 pm local time now just like the fast one that was last wednesday this was quite unexpectedly announced so before we delve into what potential would be on the topic of conversation let's listen to that announcement just to you. right now no

decision has been taken about prolonging the paid work for the week the president is working on his new nationwide address let's wait and see what the president has to say. putin did hold a televised conference meeting with his government and they discussed a number of issues including of course the coronavirus fight and it was announced that after that the $33000000.00 would be dedicated to paying salaries of people in the wost hit sectors those things like travel tourism hospitality we've seen. how lines have been forced to lay off tens of thousands of staff members as a result of this pandemic it was also said that a much larger figure $18000000000.00 if the if that number is correct would be dedicated to generally the fight against coronavirus and they've specifically aimed at supporting small and medium sized businesses that have been that have seen

obviously terrible losses in the last couple of weeks and months also on wednesday the parliament approved an increase of much harsher fines and punishment for those who don't quarantine correctly i was actually in this very last wednesday that i was sitting one person made his foster address to the nation but he essentially laid out a battle plan amongst specific measures he also announced a non week that is the week that what carty and 30th of march into the 5th of april essentially all russians except those working critical services occur in sitting out home in. self isolation they can only go out if they're going to the pharmacy if they're going to the closest shop or indeed if they have much to go to the hospital so today there are some people asking will we see an extension of that 7 day non-working week or will we even potentially see something much harsher imposed i.e. a lockdown that we're seeing in the style of other european countries like the u.k. france italy and of course spain which has been terribly hit so those are the kinds

of questions those things that could be discussed economic measures stricter social distancing policies all of the c.b. listening and we'll bring you the very latest when ever he emerges it will be across it next time francis no suppost 4000 coronavirus related deaths and 57000 registered cases surprisingly those on the front line of treating the sick are reporting that there's suffering violence and abuse one nurse says she was attacked as the stole the face masks she was carrying and pharmacy workers this they're also suffering physical and verbal abuse in 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 lockdowns been extended with difficulty in buying food using some resort a 3rd. covering that. it started in solidarity and

song to keep up spirits. i. 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 would 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 thanking large sections of the population over help him. the future with the

continuation of the crisis will turn into ungar cred 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. 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 charlotte 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 no 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. this is one of the hardest moments we

have ever had to endure we are 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 i help our government will help and europe will not abandon us. people look at people out of said because of bees and though we are easily to each child our friends the apes and basically what the perception off of they look for is that there we would never go back to normal life. even after after their love down this is due to do it factor so many company many services along with the restaurants were shut down definitely after a new crisis even worse months from there you know you're being you you know on central banks not enough where before a color. sort of crisis will be

a war then doesn't that mean a decent this is our perception. so i'm a director of 2 hotels in marina the camera also which is close to salerno it's a coastal city where we used to hosting many tourists in the summer time but due to this pandemic situation we don't know how it's going to be we're trying to modify our cancellation policy but for sure we'll lose a lot of money as we'll have to drop our prices. were going to try and stay positive throughout all this mess isolated italians are still keeping their spirits up with a bit of music and song from their balconies one neighborhoods definitely lucked out they've been serenaded by a professional opera singer no less. than one though they're not the only one your loved one. will know the last. one will and will will. the others call email has been telling us how the

popularity of that video being shared widely online is helping her overcome the difficulties of a understated home. 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 my hands 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. with a pandemic is proving to be a litmus test to for solidarity in the e.u. the reluctance of germany and other wealthy european nations to share the financial burdens inferior to italy or europe correspondent peter all of a look closer at 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 up until 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 corona

virus will be shared out amongst member states it echoes what had previously been said by the italian prime minister just 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 help europe and at the same time to maintain the stability of the euro in the long term that response is left some in rome angry europe has enjoyed it italy's political weakness for many decades italy today does not

want to be a waiter while others are eating lobsters 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 firm made a show of removing the from his office replacing it with the italian trickle it's a symbolic gesture of fish 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. . is called the answer to the euro moscow hi there were reporting worldwide here on out international as countries tackle the pandemic on the way than the american

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 a big station here overwhelmed hospitals to try to cope with the rising amount of deaths as america's to each of its reports. 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 big go up because california. 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 curve 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 and will be taken off the vessel by friday more than $100.00 personnel of theodore roosevelt have tested positive and of course quarantining with stuff in such close proximity to one another as proved a huge challenge the evacuation would be carried out in the u.s. pacific territory where the ships docked right now but that's a concern in itself which could see facilities there overstretched the island's only got a couple of 100 hospital beds and is already dealing with nearly 80 local infections u.s. warships crew will no 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 if former 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 a cruise ship which also was infected on an aircraft carrier or 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 on 247 duty they do what they call hot words they someone who's on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps in it i mean it's that closely confined and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if you're open 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 world's who knows how many briefly in most countries restrictions on movement only seem to be growing but for residents in the original virus at present it will hand in china there are signs that things are slowly returning to normal the city's reopening and locals are being allowed back to work limitations on movement are also being eased for people who need to get into the region from outside safety 1st though the authorities are still checking the health of people trying to get into with. you it may be a code red carpet was almost as normal in sweden the precautions are in place but unlike most of its european neighbors sweden shops cafes and primary schools are staying open there's no lockdown on the borders are open one of the most at risk groups are being told to stay at home so we've got almost 5000 registered cases and more than 200 have died different approach though in a poll where police are keeping their distance well in forcing the lock down and

tackling people who are floating the rules the south asian countries only registered 5 infection so far and no deaths have been reported. so right. billions have been told to stay at home and news channels are more in demand but keeping the information rolling means a major shift in how broadcasters like us get the job done for you. the next shows or so the table are to u.k. are holding at the moment a rolling don't get too close to 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 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 handwashing a liberal use of hand sanitizer to behind the scenes one absolutely anyone that's not essential to their tech 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 pup salute throughout all this we're keeping you posted around the clock 247 not only from here in moscow but also with reporters and studios around the world contributing to along with our web and social media teams as you'll get through

these tricky terms together and bring you the best possible coverage and thanks for taking the time to watch as do so from. moscow this thursday a shoddy research please stay safe and well. people. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth

is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to help. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace that should have. a terrible life between the and. the slogan see the blue of them so moving. to good use who would look was before. much of those who heard somebody you knew who would use to see him we will. we will go. up so can i move. move.

greetings and sal you take us welcome one and all to the next chapter of the great pandemic of 2020 and what have the previous chapters in this book shown us now well you have a variety of bad big had to choose from really you have strange frightening inspiring courageous creepy me personally the adjective i like most of the scribe the last few weeks of this pandemic is. revealing yes revealing you see because it's in times of great stress obstacles and fear that often show us who we really are especially who are chosen leaders really are like us congressman richard

burr who in his position of senate intelligence committee chairman heard the news of the impending pandemic before the rest of us and chose to save his own ass set's while selling our physical and financial safety up the river or what about the united states department of justice who instead of seeking to help protect all of us is instead taking a page out of the bush administration's post $911.00 playbook and is looking to decimate our legal and constitutional rights under cover of national catastrophe politico is now reporting that according to recently uncovered documents submitted by the d.o.j. to congress that the justice department has proposed that congress grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any district court to pause court proceedings whenever the district court is fully or partially closed by virtue. of any natural disaster civil disobedience or other emergency situation as norman

l. reimer executive director of the national association of criminal defense lawyers correctly notes that means you could be arrested and never brought before a judge until they decided that the emergency or the civil disobedience is in fact over and that decision my friends may never come as we've learned from the u.s. congress has continued obedience to reauthorizing the pay authorizing the patriot act and the national defense authorization act all read over and over again despite the emergencies that spawn them being long finished and over so as this international catastrophe continues to reveal the good from the bad and the ugly i think it's a good time to start watching the whole mess. in a city. like. this. state.
