they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth . is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes are going to read it and it's going to tell. so we're all right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have lawlessness should have. a terrible life between them and the. under our attention is biased in some way don't know about more so we will be elusive she gets all this information. how many people died well as good say. when there are other. risk factors that it is. to make a better outcome if you get it by the by some of this neutral bias.

greetings and salutation was. finally finally after $4.00 to $5.00 wasted days of partisan politicking and the proverbial dragging of feet across marble floors the dueling parties that make up the united states congress finally decided to agree on a massive 2 trillion dollar economic stimulus bill in an effort to save the nation from the cold bit 19 pandemic and in reaching this agreement they took the time as they always do to pat themselves on the back and paint themselves with grand historical significance senate democratic leader chuck schumer. compare their

agreement to world war 2 as marshall plan to rebuild europe yes he called the bill after sleep deprived nights in marathon negotiating sessions we have a bipartisan agreement on the largest rescue package in american history. i know chuck i know you're suffering was food your suffering was really great i mean the anguish of having to stay up late and be forced to. i what do what you were elected to do in order to save all of us poor service men that is indeed some hard work chuck just like it's hard for all those nurses doctors and other medical professionals forced to work around the clock shifts fighting this virus on the front line or or just as hard as the grocery store clerks and delivery drivers working long hours for nothing wages just to bring the quarantine some food supplies yeah that kind of hard work but thankfully schumer wasn't alone in that excruciating hard work that all those idiots on capitol hill were doing of having

to you know argue with fellow old rights white men and women late into the night hard work is republican senator republican counterpart senator mitch mcconnell took to the podium and proudly exclaimed the great miss of this stimulus agreement stating. this is a wartime level of investment and to our nation the men and women of the greatest country on earth are going to defeat discover one of ours and reclaim our future. there are. boy boy oh boy you know talk about a rousing call to arms there mitchy i mean you could have at least tried to show a little bit more excitement about your agreement that sends billions to your corporate benefactors while throwing all the rest of the leftovers but maybe maybe you know maybe mitch wasn't excited because he knew all was not going to plan maybe he knew that as of this broadcast 3 republican senators tim scott ben status and of course our old good buddy lindsey graham would be putting their foot on the neck of

the agreement because it girl lindsey graham's knickers in a twist as we start watching the hawks. and they see you straight. there so you. see this is this. state see a. great city this least systemic dissent says late show which . brings up the bill. welcome everybody to watching the hawks. and joining me now to help me break down the ins and outs of this 2 trillion dollar coronavirus stimulus bill that isn't quite there yet i guess is our to america correspondent there and so 1st you know democrats were holding this up earlier in the week now it's down to 3 grand old party republican senators saying that this is giving too much to the unemployed how

dare we give the unemployed money how much are we talking about because what exactly in their minds is too much to give to people without jobs so the 1st thing that they're getting wrong here is they're talking about the unemployed people that are already not working what they don't realize is there is a massive amount of unemployed just 218000 alone that filed last week because of this virus so what they're saying is is that you know while everyone there they have been throwing around this number of every american going. $1200.00 also in this new bill and what we'll get into more of it in a 2nd but it's saying that if you were laid off because of the coronavirus the federal government's going to pay your salary along with your benefits which republicans are going on that is shocking they're saying what that's going to do is that's going to make people want to be unemployed and want to stand employed now you know for those of you don't know we have like kind of an 18 minute b. team here so we're on and off a week i was off last week the 1st thing i wanted to do was come back to work because a lot of people i will agree with trump

a lot of people want to get back to work because a lot of times too they're going to make more when they're at work so it's interesting that these 3 senators are and again they're trying to lump everybody into we don't we're not going to want to work if we lose our jobs then and it's going to get was you know losing your job because you're forced to stay at home in order to get infected with the disease that has the possibility to kill you or people in your family that you are close to 0 you know what i'm going to get a really nice trucks i want to stay home or i don't think it's the premiums that are going to make people want to stay home or about i do not hear of the buy or worse that we typically want to not go to work so we have these 3 g.o.p. senators who are saying like oh my god we're giving them too much they might never want to work are doing. and. what about the democrats are there any democrats who are now standing up against this bill or this agreement they haven't passed the bill ok so literally breaking just moments ago you have these 3 g.o.p. senators that say you know i'm going to take my marbles and go home if you don't do what i say now you have senator bernie sanders who actually was not at the vote

last night he's been getting a lot of backlash on twitter for not being there because he had a virtual town hall on the coronavirus in the whole thing as you could talk about it but you couldn't vote on a side note but bernie sanders says if you change it vote no and i will come back and vote no and you also have new york governor andrew cuomo who is saying that this bill is going to do absolutely nothing for new york right now it would in the senate bill 3800000000 would go to new york state 1300000000 in new york city he says that sounds like a lot of money but that's just a drop in the bucket they're looking at. $15000000000.00 the state of new york alone they need a lot more than what they're going to be getting talked about the beginning you had you had my buddy chuck and mitchie standing up and being very proud of this agreement that they talk about how store they were in the sun and you know so the other question is you know after wasting all of our time fighting over this for 3 weeks rather than helping us who actually ended up with the better end of the deal the democrats or the republicans and you're absolutely right i mean they are so brave for having to come in compromise on this deal and so let's look at the republican wins here and they were mainly focusing on corporations and businesses

and hospitals democrats they were fighting saying it's about the people not corporations well they were able to keep those loans going to corporate corporations and small businesses but here is where the little caviar came with the democrats democrats won the argument of strict oversight remember the bank bailout what happened there they learned their lesson so corporations they're going to be required to lay out how they're going to spend their emergency loans and make it public not just to congress though but also to the american people so we'll be able to also check them ourselves they want to establish an oversight board to monitor where their money is going and again like i was mentioning before chuck schumer has this worker's 1st article where it's he calls it unemployment compensation on steroids saying that again if you were laid off or furloughed because of the coronavirus your salary plus benefits paid the reason that they want to do this is because you know trump is talking about coming back to work on easter they want it so that these people it keeps the employers and the businesses linked so that it's like you're not going to go out and it's like you know the business has come back

and it's like oh you know forget them will hire new people it's no it's keeping them together because again american people do want to work you know so you know everybody wants to work like no one wants to be lazy and sit at home all day that's kind of one of those strange myths of they put out the plan but but but realistically people i mean you know it's also as you said it's like people are looking at this saying i want to be back to work by used or if i'm going to die right exactly so if you can give me full benefits and all but hey you know it's also interesting because we have this whole 'd big back and forth between the parties i mean they wasted many days they were there some. last friday. really at the end of the day you can really look at a lot of this is just kind of the tricks and circus can we oh yeah and a real quick thing the senate was supposed to be off last week they voted to stay to work on this and to get this passed great job if you're a but you're so brave the 2nd thing is that they're talking about how the senate now is going to be probably going on recess and the recess is about 2 weeks so we might not even get anything passed in the senate for a good 3 weeks but next week the house is back in session and nancy pelosi

introduced her bill on monday that had a lot of other democratic talking points like student loan forgiveness and you know green new deal stuff thrown in there so i think some of this is going to force some senators to stick around to see what the house is going to do next week good stuff aaron always thank you for coming on and breaking the good work to do that because so much. but now we move on the one of the most important questions of the day around the world water people doing to stop and actually kill this virus that threatens us well it appears that while governments work on plans of actions to fight the coronavirus scientists and everyday people are desperately looking for cures from big pharma the perils of mad even natural remedies everybody is in on the battle against covert 19 artie's alex mahela who has the story. from laboratories in china to the u.k. thousands of people around the world are working on ways to fight covert 19 fast boat development a license that seeing he takes many is it's quite probable with etc reasons

for development for a caveat saying that might be shrunk to maybe a year the urgent need for something to be done is being addressed internationally among the many companies universities and other institutions working on a vaccine some believe the 2 front runners at this point are china based can sign a biotechnology inc and massachusetts based moderna therapeutics which is already testing its vaccine on humans can sign up is known for creating the world's 1st internationally accepted a bowl of vaccine. but besides players like china the u.k. and u.s. the world health organization says more than 20 vaccines are being worked on around the world and that includes places like israel singapore russia and canada however the who is cautioning that we need to take our time when talking about vaccines according to the organization there is only one thing more dangerous than about virus and that it's a bad vaccine while many see stopping the virus before it hits any harder as

a priority it's important to remember that we might not get a vaccine at all so developing treatments is equally important and according to experts faster repurchasing existing drugs that work can be done in weeks a possible treatment that's got a lot of attention is rem deaths of ear developed by gilliatt sciences it's described as an investigational broad spectrum antiviral treatment one of its applications has been to treat patients with a bola gilliatt however received lots of heat for obtaining exclusive access to the potential for the virus treatment and critics are claiming the company is trying to cash in from the crisis. another possible solution is collect hiv drug currently being tested and then there is the drug that president trump has called the game changer chloroquine and anti-malaria drug that's been around since 1949 while experts say there needs to be more testing on chloroquine for some the

world of science and medicine is just not moving fast enough and they're ready to risk it all to find a cure and arizona man and his wife both in their sixty's in just a fish tank cleaning out a diff made with chloroquine phosphate they thought it would be a good way to keep the corona virus at bay the man died and the woman was hospitalized but is expected to recover the european union which has been hit hard by covert 19 is urging people to be wary of quick fixes according to our european union agencies. the amount of cyber crime in the european union has increased and the number of fake medicines disinfection sprays a miracle cures sold online is staggering in the meantime russian scientists have taken the 1st microscope images of covert 19 day information is welcome day mediation in the fight to developing vaccines and drug treatments that will be effective against the coronavirus for r

t i'm alex model of it. all right before we go to break let me present to you the brand new exercise app brought to you by our good friends at the federal bureau of investigation called the f.b.i. busy but missed test yes the parents of the bureau is so worried about your present will help now that so many of us are stuck at home that they want you to work out like a g. man which makes sense i mean i don't know about you but when i think of physical fitness i think of yes the one and only j. edgar hoover and speaking of j. edgar many critics are pointing out but apparently the f.b.i. has a new app while helping train like an agent also needs to access your location photos media files and storage gibbs who doesn't want the pads roaming around in your private information i guess they want more of a chase when big brother comes to you to catch you for your thought crimes all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand for the brand new portable t.v.

at the billboard smartphones through google play and the apple app store by searching for double t.v. or stream us to your t.v. by downloading the portable t.v. app on apple t.v. and online and once again portable t.v. this wonderful wonderful app will be available on board devices coming in the very future coming up immigration attorney allergan your brings us the latest on how i used attention camps have been affected by the kobe had 19 and stay tuned to watch the.

it's a let me. ask i would name will. pick i could not predict that did not trouble getting. this show more than. you love food in the top. 10 to make it a c. because don't want to tell. you what they were all of the kook on the standards in the last night as you had checked on bush. and then most of the physical data. on you of those 2 morons who moved a little known much of the soonest to learn in 92 for nothing. so when you hire a commodity tied to use into a good. job. then a. non non. one an immediate house on the net passing them.

and. then what was almost the nub of the bill. at this point recently it was revealed that a member of the medical staff of the new jersey immigrations and customs detention center has tested positive for cobra 19 as well as a 31 year old mexican national currently being held by u.s. customs and immigration this comes as the nation reports that according to leaked documents dated march 19th ice says health services corps had isolated 9 detainees

that it was monitoring 24 more in 10 different ice facilities however the documents do not specify exactly what illness or illnesses these individuals were being monitored for but since the title of the leak document is department of homeland security national operations center coded 19 placemat. i think one could make a pretty good guesstimation on what they're talking about this news backs up a new legal campaign taking place in states across the nation that seeks to release immigrant detainees across the country from the controversial camps for the sake of public health joining us now to discuss this movement and the spread of covert 19 in the immigration detention facilities is immigration attorney alan or jr always a pleasure having you on ellen thank you. thanks for having me so allan what what are the basis for these lawsuits against isis and are they getting any legal traction in the courts. i think they are getting legal traction you've seen some movement in the 9th circuit where the court actually affirmatively took this action

it didn't work right here on the east coast but i think the thing that we should think about is that this is not about immigrants this is about all people who are in prison for mr meaner so much of this virus this change the way people operate business where they're working from home to say we really did need these office buildings in the 1st place to get the economy going it sort of thing the same thing about the tensions in jails for low level and or this probably isn't the best method for trying to deter people in these filthy difficult when the you have the obligation and regular job overcrowded as well the immigration played overcrowded you know record number of people dying in the fertility and all rate in the ability much less there are a lot of juvenile elder needs to fill these who should be released for no other reason than they didn't really decide to come here right i mean if their parents brought them it is not a crime to. you know we've talked before about the dangers of disease running rampant in these detention centers what do we know about the spread of covert 19

right now in the i like to call them concentration camps so far. you can call them that i mean i think the issue is one that's probably the same thing about prison the prisoners aren't going out and general circulation so they're not getting coming from the air it will be the officers of the guards of the business who are bringing the disease to them which then board will spread within the building because they don't have the health care the problem is they don't have the appropriate medical sort of devices and documents to take care of that because in the facility a government worker the judges or the detainees go in this case for health reasons just like we are now sort of not going on our regular operations for business we should let these people return to their families if you are going to deport them you would have already reported them at some of the time the thought is that you can release them and then deport them later they are not people who are there for murder you might want to detain some people and they might not people who are their only crime is crossing the border and waiting to be processed you know we we've also heard talk about the release of hundreds even thousands of incarcerated people from various jails across the country in response to the virus could we see

something similar with immigrant detainees moving forward or is this going to be one of those situations where the trumpet ministrations going to dig into their heels and make up all the usual excuses to keep these people from actually getting help or being safe from this virus. these are getting smart governors such just recently in chicago where they said we're not locking up people our local jails anymore we're not even interested in how we got greater is deprived or we'll deal with those facilities later the issue of the differences and most of the federal cases in court you need a judge to sort of release these people doesn't have that limitation i can release these people tomorrow by their own little power so therefore it is the truck that ministration that sort of dragging their feet on that and sort of blaming the immigrant saying they brought the disease here right and that's sort of problematic when the dea wasn't here all the time they'd been detained before and all the great . i mean here. again the great political battle that is really going to station i always say is the immigrant the other. the name country bar and all those things

are problematic and sort of build to that when we start seeing hundreds or thousands of people die in the building because we're talking about 200 of those across the united states which once again are most of them are proud of it one thing and that's another if you're from the federal government that you did name the people at a day when if they were relieving some other method. that women were around 20 day all the things that makes really just once again the battle going well and i thank you so much for that information and for keeping on this story and eliminating our audience on what's happening with these these as i say concentration camps thank you so much sir always a pleasure. thank you for having me. the world's largest lockdown in response to the corona virus has gone into effect in india where more than 1300000000 residents have been ordered to stay in their homes for the next 3 weeks but how my friends will this sudden shutdown impact the country and will it be enough to stop the

massive outbreak of the coronavirus there are 2 americas rachel blevins joins me now to discuss the latest rachel what do we know so far about this lockdown because a massive amount of people in one of the most populated countries on the on the planet absolutely so this lockdown went into effect just hours after it was announced and we're talking about a country that has nearly one 5th of the world's population and they're saying that it's going to last for $21.00 days so far but at the same time this comes after india's government shut down all the messick air travel and they shut down their role system so it could last longer but it's all going to depend on what happened with the current virus and that country now india's prime minister did speak out he took to twitter and tried to calm down some of the old arm so to speak and he said there's absolutely no need to panic and he claimed that essential come. adi's and medicines would be made available as insured by various state governments but there's still a lot of questions here about exactly what residents are going to be allowed to do

or if they're going to have to stay in their homes i rely on the state governments have been wearing them the supplies that they need and that will let me ask you this what are the i mean obviously we can kind of from our own experiences here in the states and what we've seen over the news what are the concerns if there is a massive coronavirus covert break in deal like what kind of scale what we look at your race in the same way here in the united states we're looking at our own health care system and saying they would not be able to handle a massive current virus outbreak that's exactly what's happening in india and especially when we're looking at their health care system issues that it's had over the last few years now if we're looking at the number specifically reports are noting that when it comes to india's health care system they currently have just $40000.00 ventilators only one isolation bed per 484000 people and one doctor per $11600.00 people and now they've only conducted $17000.00 kroner virus tests which have resulted in around $500.00 confirmed cases so right now they have $500.00

confirmed cases in around and as a result of the coronavirus but at the same time with a lack of supplies they're looking at this and knowing that if there is a major outbreak they simply won't be able to afford it while that's incredible i want to ask you you know what how did these moves by india mean they're locking down the entire country you know this isn't like kind of the whole point they're not doing half measures at this point out of those moves compared to like other states other steps of other governments are taking around the world like the u.s. or the you know britain and the united kingdom and things like that how compare here in the united states we're seeing these lockdowns are sort of shelter in place orders being issued for cities in states that have a number of cases of the coronavirus and then over in the u.k. they had a more sweeping lockdown but at the same time the one thing that they. in common is they're still allowing residents to go out for groceries to the pharmacy and for essential jobs and even over in the u.k. they said that residents can go outside an exercise once

a day so here in india it seems like it's a much more sweeping ban a much bigger lockdown they're calling it a complete lockdown but at the same time india is also the place where we've seen hundreds of thousands of protesters taking to the streets in recent months so this could be a way to quiet the protesters all along with combating the core of i mean we're interesting to even think about that angle right there at the very big get a room to stay home and they don't have to speak bad about me in public you're leaving a lot of a lot of governments work that way but no thank you very much rachel excellent reporting on that very important to pay attention to not just you know the places that we know us things like that we've got to pay attention to the other most important countries in the world thank you so much always a pleasure all right everybody and that is our show for today remember everyone in this world we are told that we love to tell you all. i rolled into a keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and later. join

me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from.

the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallowness. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is off to u.k. . 685 people die from coronavirus in just 24 hours a new record high for the u.k. that's as prime minister barak johnson himself continues to struggle with corona virus as it emerges britain repeatedly ignored warnings amounts to the world health organization. health service staff are turned away at testing facilities that the teacher reveals facilities across the country are still empty aba talking to a frontline doctor. the health secretary says immunity permits 7 could allow those who have recovered from the virus to leave isolation the critics claim a system requiring wide scale testing would be nearly impossible for

a country already struggling to test a tool. and the growth of our sunday week reaches migrant council in france as refugees fleeing across the english channel and charities more to pick your money terry in a disaster but those already in the u.k. could be left destitute by cutbacks in support we hear from a human rights lawyer. welcome to r.t. u.k. $684.00 people have died from corona virus in the past 24 hours taking the total u.k. death toll to $3605.00 that says prime minister boris johnson continues his own self isolation with the virus as it's revealed number 10 ignored warnings to prepare for mass testing well for more on this i'm not sure but i want to you case. are there research so as we've been hearing a key day for the health service absolutely and as you were just mentioning kate

got death toll rising now by yet to get a record breaking figure for 24 hour period. by 684 the toll is now 3605 people who have lost their lives after testing positive for kovan 19 in the u.k. the toll to number of cases just above 38000 that's almost the very close to 10 percent of it being at all the death rate really of those who have been testing positive now that figure out that $3605.00 figure means the u.k. has overtaken china and iran when it comes to the number of deaths from cove it 19 and it doesn't seem like that situation is going to get any better anytime soon now we know the prime minister is one of those who tested positive for cocaine 19 he's continuing his self isolation because he's still showing symptoms according to downing street but the prime minister taking the opportunity to record another

video message to the nation and implored and plead with people in the country to resist the urge to go out this weekend despite the fact that the weather could be the warmest so far this year we're working the whole time on our program to defeat the virus you have seen the big announcement yesterday about 100000 tests. day by the end of the month and i just want to say one crucial thing one quick thing to everybody thinking about this weekend and what may be some far mean weather because i reckon a lot of people will be starting to think that this is going on for quite a long time and they would rather be getting out there and particular if they've got you've got kids in the household everybody may be getting a bit stir crazy maybe just a temptation to get. out and start to break the regulations and i just urge you not to do that please please stick with the

guidance. i've seen the government repeatedly saying that they are going to step up testing and there are reports that they want to aim for up to $100000.00 tests a day by the end of this month but it still would be somewhere short of what we're seeing in other countries already at this point germany are doing $70000.00 tests day around half a 1000000 a week and they're expected to ramp that up even further and it also emerges also comes at some urgent that the government ignored warnings from the world health organization to ramp up testing because they expected another influenza type of outbreak to be more likely than covert 19 impacting the u.k. and so as a result of that didn't feel like they needed to prepare but the government saying that they are now taking those measures to source as many test kits as they can throw out testing for not just an excess workers but members of the public indeed

that's what about the testing but are some of the other preparations going to plan well the government have now set up and opened the new hospital the nightingale hospital at the xcel center and that hospital they're being opened after just 9 days being built with the help of members of the armed forces and others really trying to put that together in record time it's thought that it will be able to care for up to 4000 patients and will probably help massively in terms of taking the pressure off some of the hospitals in and around the capital now in opening that hospital prince charles prince of wales was the one who officially opened it he did so via video link and he himself again another person who tested positive for 19 and saying that he was one of the lucky ones because his symptoms did prove to be mild now the queen and i just see she is understood to have recorded

a message to the nation when it comes to prop. lift the moral of the country regarding carvin 1000 we're expecting the video message to be this coming sunday thank you very much today for the update thank you. well health service workers are being rejected from a drive through testing facilities reportedly for not having an appointment currently around 2000 members of the national health service staff have been screened for the disease out of half a 1000000 front line workers meanwhile similar facilities across the country have been left virtually empty despite government promises to sharply increase testing facilities in london and southeast england were all reported to be empty at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. or frontline dr something i go out joins me now to discuss these testing times to thank you very much indeed for joining us i mean on thursday we had yet more promises of yet more testing and yet frontline staff like yourself continue to battle. yet it's

a really difficult time as he said and testing it would have been great if we started it a lot earlier like south korea and managed to traced contacts and stopped it but we are where we are and i think the government has really lies the seriousness of the condition is trying its best. to act. and do the testing. it's not a total fail proof method and so to rest resources are required like specialists and setting and equipment and so it takes time to set the sentence a look at the numbers the doctor it seems ludicrous i mean we've tested 2000 members of staff out of half a 1000000 i mean surely that's what 11 it. it is really low and it is really low compared to other countries and yes it's difficult when we have so many.

doctors and health care workers who are having colds and symptoms of coronavirus and wondering whether they should self isolate or they should be helping at the forefront and testing would help. to put them you know to either give a confirmation so that they can isolate and separate themselves from their a friends and their families or if it's negative they can return to work and help where they are needed indeed i mean looking at the warnings that we've had from the world health organization they think going on since 2005 we've had 15 years of plenty of warnings wife not done anything about it. and i think. it was misjudged i think the government completely as he said earlier on didn't realize what a serious condition it was and how infective and can get contagious it was and apart

from actually affecting the vulnerable it also could seriously affect healthy young says and adults alike as we have seen recently they were tearing though that the center is all there the testing centers the n.h.s. staff but they're empty while people using them. i think probably if only just recently been set up and they aren't aware of them as yet they aren't aware of where to go for testing. haven't been referred don't have the appointments their various probably failings. that you know it's all new to everybody and it just probably hasn't been orchestrated as well as it should have been day that 2nd uniting a hospital that is a step forward it is a positive step forward is taken 9 days to be set up so if we can do a hospital in one day surely we can do testing and procurement as well can't wait.

it as i said earlier that you would hope so but at the same time testing does require specialist equipment and specialist abilities of the star who will be doing that testing so that all techs takes time to set up data should be over tamary and a doctor i got are many thanks for joining us thank you very much for your work and . now the u.k. government is considering issuing immunity certificates for those who have recovered from the virus speaking at the government's daily press briefing health secretary matt hancock said the move could release these people from their lock down earlier than the rest of the u.k. we are looking at an immunity certificate and how we can how how people who are have to have the disease have got the antibodies and therefore have

immunity can show that and so get back as much as normal to as much as possible to normal life. well hangup said the documents could be issued once antibody tests which determine whether a person has had the virus are developed and rolled out german authorities are looking into a similar permit scheme while those hoping to enter q 8 or thailand require medical certificates proving they don't have the disease but critics argue testing the whole population would be time consuming expensive and could lead to a false sense of security if the virus mutates and re infects the population meanwhile number 10 said it was monitoring developments in other countries and was always willing to adopt useful ideas this is something which has been discussed in other countries we have always said that we are watching closely what other countries are doing and we will always look to learn from our ideas which could be helpful. so are you certificates an important step forward or

a red herring we will debate this on r.t. u.k. in the next hour. now let's take a look at how the u.k. home ations are responding to the coronavirus outbreak the last government says companies will be legally obliged to keep employees 2 metres apart starting from early next week while scottish 1st minister nicola sturgeon says there is no evidence whatsoever the virus will peak in scotland in a week's time this comes as police scotland issue over $140.00 penalties to those ignoring lock down rules on social distancing. well on thursday the global figures reached a grim milestone with the number of confirmed worldwide cases of coronavirus a passing the 1000000 mark over 55000 have died in connection to the illness while more than 219000 have recovered the u.s. has the highest number of confirmed cases making up almost a quarter of global cases while spain house recorded the 1st fall and its daily

death toll since the end of march. now coming up after the break. the bars pandemic reaches a french migrant camps as refugees a plea to the u.k. for support here has also been called calling me outbreak we hear from a human rights lawyer. and is likely to in britain spend hours on the internet site of a criminal stupid to take advantage. under rated over attention is biased to scare information we want to know about more so we will be on the list searching for this information what else happened how many people died who were as good so. what are other. risk factors the greatest cause

you can make a better outcome if you can by the by some of this neutral bias. micrographs friends aren't slights against you know whites or men for example there's their slights against women or nonwhites so it's always the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward a oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying well rather than a north more than we need to call attention to them but it's not all slice so it's a very political in this context and. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back a charity has warned of a humanitarian crisis brewing in refugee camps in northern france after a case of the virus was confirmed that says the u.k.'s border force is bringing ashore fleeing migrants near the u.k.'s dover port it's not clear how many boats have been intercepted but the founder of the charity care for cali mosley has urged the government to take swift action they have to do something now they have to get the the ability to isolate and separate up because everybody in the camps is going to have it it's literally a humanitarian disaster something has to be done now. or meanwhile our campaign as

well in the hundreds of refugees may have been left without any support during the pandemic home office policy says asylum seekers can get a place in shared accommodation and 37 pounds a week but this ceases after 28 days which means claimants must find a job housing or apply for benefits but critics say this is particularly hard to do during the corona virus outbreak when the country is in lockdown campaigners warned such measures have already forced refugees to become homeless in response the home office announced people with granted status won't be evicted from their accommodation for the next 3 months. the safety and health of people in our accommodation and the communities in which they live is of the utmost importance asylum seekers who would normally no longer be eligible for free accommodation or financial payments because their claim has been visible ved will continue to receive support for the next 3 months we will continue to adjust our processes and

procedures where necessary and appropriate including reinstating support on a case by case basis. well for more on this issue are now joined by human rights flourish web and com website you very much indeed for joining us this afternoon let's start with the migrants in northern france i mean this is always be an issue isn't any to has actually little to do with the virus it's an ongoing situation isn't it yes exactly i mean obviously there are thousands tens of thousands of people there and in other counts and greece other countries where these people are they're obviously i mean they have accommodation they have a roof over their head if you can call it out and that seems to be the extent of their support and assistance that they receive and particularly in this situation now we just cannot not even if we don't necessarily treat them under particularly or humane rate or think that we necessarily need to be looking not providing them with anything in particular but at least for the safety of the community just say to the public in general we just cannot allow you know as these counts and other

similar situation that we called in petri dishes on us in cuba ages where you know definitely in the virus will reach and once it does it will just break and there are tens of thousands of these people who will bend the exposed to it so i think all the welfare and benefit of the whole community something has to be done or trouble is going to say i mean if if more people are trying to flee here that they're not likely to be safe here either either because we have coronavirus here. you know exactly of course i'm you know i mean of course that is something that your god he's there and here now at the site and looking into and obviously we have this situation particularly from france we don't generally taken to you know that you know although they have these camps but it's fine if someone tries to cross the channel somehow make their way into britain and then it's for the british authorities to process them and treat them according to a british or a human rights law but i think now is that i when governments authorities on both sides of the channel and others local authorities as well need to be taking

a more humane and more sensible approach to this and it's just a pity that it's taken such a desperate situation you know demick to force them to take this view but now is the time of something really has to be done well in terms of support for asylum seekers i mean all services are under strain aren't they we can't just point the finger at the home office and we've looked at some of the figures we've we've also got nearly 1000000 new applicants for universal credit i mean the system is at breaking point here isn't it. and it is better now he said that's something that you know many campaign as others have the same goal yes ages that the way that this special particularly in the last 10 years that the government has set up this system is a system that is you know very cursory breaking point even at the best of times and i think that is the problem here is the home office for instance had been taking a humane sensible reasonable approach if it had already been. giving people providing people with this he then who wouldn't be in this situation for instance how the government deals with homeless people it has been the case for at least the

past decade as it only people i didn't exist or at least they're not our problem they're not the government states public's problems but now within a matter of days weeks the government mean you just have to. sort out all the local authorities you only have to riaz on this and thousands have been 3 houses there are unfortunately many who haven't. but obviously you know the counselors who previously you seem to have no resources no space how found a space. so it's the same with the siding seekers and others as well obviously it's just a matter of as has been done now you know instead of the trench it dates signs he has now wants a grandchild he will get 3 months and 3 months is you know it might not be great they will still be many many people for whatever reason many of them have mentioned have problems under under abilities the won't be able to settle themselves completely in 3 months when it's in much better than the 28 days that you had going to that site i was going to say we're in a nutshell what do you think the government needs to do very briefly if you don't

mind. and i mean what they need to be doing is just put putting much more resources into this obviously one thing about the need to be doing to have the new records for public funds through which basically new immigrants with such and kinds of limited leave aren't entitled to most of it so it is on benefits i think that definitely has to go because if that doesn't go these people these people are forced to go to work and then there's no concept sets that fights a nation they're not just an agent themselves but the. so i can just will say that you know that the government start really sticking to i think it has to now realize that it's not just a matter of all these people and these families and these individuals but the convention at large is a matter of days they have to think of the broader picture. thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you. well a migrant camp near athens is under quarantine after becoming the 1st such facility in greece to record an outbreak of corona virus they have been concerns for weeks that poor conditions inside the often cramped count compounds spreads disease more

quickly artie shell of a reports security has been reinforced at the camp at sona where the infection has taken hold it's just 70 or so kilometers north of athens and it's home to around 2500 migrants all living in close proximity all the food baskets and hygiene kits are being distributed charities have warned of the dangers of disease taking hold in a migrant camp for some people some of whom are at high risk of severe disease or death to live in dirty unsanitary conditions crammed together in close quarters is a recipe for spreading the virus not to mention it is degrading and inhumane. quarantine was imposed after to merge the 2 new mother from its owner was found to be infected with covert 19 now she had given birth in a hospital in athens and it's not yet clear if she contract the virus in there or in the camp but with other residents now testing positive the new confinement rules

mean no one will be allowed out for the next 14 days the greek government has held its hands up and admitted the conditions in the camps all problematic but it points the finger at the e.u. the conditions are far from being ideal but it is dealing with this problem basically on its own we haven't gotten as much support from the european union as we want. the reaction is poor europe is returning to the nation states and is moving away from or should have been a common european response to a common global challenge that rebuke came off the elitist clashed over the economic response to the pandemic last week greece and for coronavirus point the idea is that the debt as a result of this crisis would be guaranteed by all countries however that was rejected by germany and it was also rejected by the netherlands now

a new $100000000000.00 euro fund for the hardest hit countries has been unearthed the european commission president says that every year are still available in the budget would be spent on tackling the crisis we have developed the concept of short time work it is intended to help italy spain and all other countries that have been hard hit this is european solidarity in action the middle lane says the newly agreed initiative does demonstrate european solidarity but for europe's poor countries in the south such as greece and italy. countries of already feel that they are shouldering more than that when it comes to my grants this new fund may feel more like a drop in the ocean rather than a life raft. well as the u.k.
