as. of one of. the headlines this 4th of april easter morning french authorities told people tend to travel next week that the virus is not on holiday as medical staff say they're still woefully ill equipped. for the deep south here's what our government has given asked by the call being maintained as you can see we need a full range of necessary medical equipment so that we actually don't have to provide sufficient medical help. our owing pleas from hard hit towns in ecuador as the bodies of corona virus victims have been left on the deserted streets there because health services simply can't cope with the. you.

and the oil markets ravaged by the pandemic slowdown and a price war at the same time could see a rally as the big 3 producers including russia prepared to talk solutions. hello this is art international from moscow welcome to the program is just 1 pm here this saturday when i was kevin owen i'm here for 30 minutes with your world news round up and 1st these are the latest figures in the kobe 1000 pandemic today billions of people are currently under some sort of lockdown but the number of corona corona virus cases is still rapidly increasing there are now more than 1100000 registered infections more than 59000 people have died but some hope

almost a quarter of a 1000000 people we can report have recovered. so today's developments the onset of spring's warmer weather on the upcoming easter weekend will for many be a big temptation to travel but the warning is don't in france which is grappling with more than $82000.00 infections leaders fear that will make a bad situation much worse they're trying to get the message across that the coronavirus is not on holiday is our paris correspondent shiela do bensky. this weekend would have been the start of the easter or the spring holidays for many but as a lockdown measures remain in place the forest most of us will be saying is the one on our computer screens here in france the message is particularly. for you.

there will be no let up if that saves lives the message is clear those we love we protect them and to protect them we confine ourselves we will be there all weekend to check this on the way that to and from vacation sites but also in public places and wherever it's needed. in a bid to ensure french citizens obey the law the interior minister announced roadblocks are being stepped up on major groups and there will be extra patrols at train stations and airports the prime minister also insisted on discipline. the virus is not an occasion no one should depart in the coming days it will ruin the collective halfords to which we have been hearing for almost 3 weeks anyone traveling will need to have a poem mission slip explaining essentially why june is considered to be essential

travel now that could mean either traveling home or having to travel to work but be warned if it's for work you're also going to need an official letter from your employer so even if you're thinking about slipping away the odds are stacked against you since the start of the lockdown around 100000 officers have been deployed across france to keep order and to verify why people are out and about that will be increased over the weekend 216-0000 they have so far been around 6000000 stop checks more than 359000. fines have been issued one man was even jailed for 2 months after being caught 8 times without the self certified document that all residents must have anger over people breaking the lockdown lead to the police in paris issuing this repeat suki so the

people who are hospitalized today those who are in intensive care right now are the ones who did not respect the log down at the beginning so all this is not a video game it's reality people have died. he though quickly came under fire to insult and treat my patients who are in danger of dying as offenders is a real scandal you have to tell the grief that their caregivers and intensive care and one of my nurses contracted the virus for treating patients meanwhile norm for cement agencies are also warning of new restrictions saying it is forbidden to use your car to go on vacation the deputy interior minister had this message for anyone considering flouting the rules it is not a traffic violation where on the driver is liable to be punished we are talking about a different type of offense noncompliance with the confinement troop and obviously all the people present in the vehicle will be fined. that means anyone not

authorized to be in the vehicle will also face a fine of 135. and if you court will be made to double back the advice is to continue to remain at home but as it is the holiday you can still crack open a chocolate egg or perhaps tag. for r.t. in paris france has now reported its deadliest day yet with medical staff on the front line saying they're exhausted and still under equipped hundreds of nurses are raising awareness about their lack of protection by photographing themselves naked the symbolic campaign runs for the naked against covert $191.00 of the nurses involved says the french government's putting health workers at deadly risk. litter here's what our government has given us to fire the coach with 19 as you can see we need a full range of necessary medical equipment so that we actually don't have to provide

sufficient medical help for our patients and the risks for us as well as for them the government puts us and patients under threat we decided to perform naked as part of this campaign because our authorities leave us naked in the face of the pandemic. france is also no late on special high speed trains for moving infected patients between cities is to try and ease the burden on overwhelmed facilities by transferring the sick to less crowded hospitals will do from. shell again says the country's health care system has been in dire need in fact for over a decade. the middle east i think our interest should be represented but nobody protects us on a governmental level it is not only the current government that bears responsibility for the situation we find ourselves right now frances health care system has been a dire condition for 15 or 20 years the 5th or the 6th strongest european economy doesn't have the capability to take necessary medical measures we have to

understand that you have fees these choices and you're pretty aware of that this is our reality we have to choose which patient or treat. well just about every country's having a real tough time staying on top of infections in ecuador there are some how and stories emerging the country has more than 3000 infections and 145 known fatalities but in one city there are reports that families are going to leave the bodies of the dead on the streets health service is a step in the cope but the government says it is building a special facility for corona virus victims there. my brother has just died due to

a respiratory problem and he's here outside the house the police told me they can come and collect the body and i have to wait a day more but the body lying here on the sidewalk. you dave. is it good to do this is. good this is. good. or a little. 2 3 bit of a little. shocking isn't it elsewhere a member of the british science group responsible for mapping infections what's the herd immunity strategy now to be reconsidered and that would involve allowing 60

percent of the population to get infected it had been suggested a few weeks ago it was then the band in this hospital rapidly filled up professor graham medley says the lockdown at the moment is not enough this disease is so nasty that we had to suppress it completely then we've kind of painted ourselves into a corner because then the question will be what do we do now in broad terms are we going to continue to harm children to protect vulnerable people or not if we carry on with the lock down it buys more time we can get more thought into it but it doesn't resolve anything it's a placeholder it will lead to britain now has more than 38000 cases with more than 3 and a half 1000 it's the death toll is now surpassed china's reported number another tracking solution meantime is being floated by the health secretary is just recovering himself from the virus that hancock's looking at issuing immunity passports to people have developed antibodies. we are looking at unity certificate

and how we can how how people who are have had 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. but it's too early in the science of the immunity right now though is that the u.k. hasn't yet approved an antibody test and health experts say it's still not clear whether or not people with antibodies are truly immune to reinfection we discussed possible ways forward with british lawyer luke get us and liberal democrat party politician helen belcher. there is no antibody test that is functional which has been currently developed and we've got 66000000 people in the country to try and test it gets it if it's for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible practicalities it difficult no one

claimed no one's claim is going to be easy but it can be managed you know germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we can't do is underestimate the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know we're seeing a 1000000 new claims for social security or you quit in this country going in suggesting people are either losing their jobs feelers or they're about to lose their jobs of course the government is not going to allow any system of testing there is certain but if we can get to a place where we let people return to work if they have the necessary antibodies if that is scientifically possible then in principle it's something we absolutely have to support part of the government's strategy i think is to try and make sure that we flatten the curve this much as possible but we're trying to do that at the moment without adequate testing a tool and so i would much rather government focused on getting the current tests out to everybody you need them and we need to concentrate on get solving that

problem 1st rather than trying to design pie in the sky schemes around something that doesn't even exist yet can't allow that uncertainty to lull us into a state of complete inertia and i don't disagree that obviously p.p. is an absolute significant priority but we also have to recognize that getting people back to work is a priority i think one of the problems with the government messaging so far has been not giving people a sense of the way out of this what we're living with in the moment is a sort of indefinite state where people have no idea when they're going to get back to work that level of uncertainty is killing british business and it stands to do a lot more damage than the virus itself away from corona virus from it all prices have rallied slightly after a glimmer of optimism when the global feud over production prices tanked as demand dried up because of the coronavirus but behind the scenes there's also been a row over cutting world supplies i got more earlier from correspondents ask you taylor. oil sucked it was already in a precarious situation and that's only been wason by the spread of covert 19 but it

seems that some leaders are trying to mitigate the fool out so on friday in a meeting with the country's top oil executives russian president vladimir putin suggested that he be ready to cut or oil production in a bid to try and revive the price collapse of carney at seeing an $18.00 yet low but before we delve into what that looks like what that could mean let's listen to exactly what he said. just then we are in close contact with our partners in saudi arabia recently i had a conversation with the united states president we all are concerned about the developing situation everyone is interested in joint and i would like to emphasize coordinated actions for ensuring long term market stability. but he also did specifically emphasize that the have to be a joint coordinated effort not a case where one or 2 countries make some sort of compromise and the others just sit back and really reap the rewards should. considers it necessary to join forces

we're not initiators of the consolation of the opec plus deal we're ready for agreements with partners and we're ready for interaction with the united states on this issue i think it is necessary to join efforts to balance the market and reduce production as a result of these coordinated efforts and actions so that's how we got to this moment but luckily it seems that the market is already responding quite well to this latest initiative from russia we saw in fact a record breaking percentage climb and oil prices so you stabilize ation measures will likely be the prime rate topic will top of the agenda after the opec plus meeting which was very hasty very unexpectedly organized for monday and actually we're getting reports that the majority of opec members do actually support cutting down on the. production the u.s. as the top producer also want to see this issue settled very quickly especially

unfortunately it's found itself in the terrible position of being a country in terms of the coronavirus pandemic let's get the expert view for international economist mom duesler many is also visiting professor of energy can or mix that e.s.c. p europe is a school hello sir hope you're doing ok with how solvable is this in the oil market if they agree on production no one's really buying right now other way. i've been playing with a solution as long as the current writers are really is certainly making. several new ones in an effort bally name merger prove yourself and we in the rare commercial in the united states. at that level. removed with. a cut of the 20 k. money realm better his aides have said. dick

very well in my case which barry manilow sounds that means the rest 20000000 barrels back remember him as an attorney rational early x. is less as remembered as the koran the higher us game title i wrote you will have it really have a real positive impact every day. some of them less than has it stashed them thinking in my house for richie sorry it is the cat by the price barry price war talk what we want from one more question of mentioning there about the only last week saudi arabia posted its production to a record high or is the logic behind that what were they thinking. is seen retiree's and i are clearly right besant matter how much you are struggling about

or a market sense list of the barriers are a little early after in credit and cheering and rock balance so really it matters not i.m.s. shall be good for you says. sorry as. in the real world where russian capacity of 30000000. they have none of that shims that i well remember it seems that our well. there are several of whom are still only a little better. than the. rest period or a little. bit better that's very risky even though they can do it for sure because rape happens. over limbs and women whereas in. the real progress shouldn't that person again earlier production

by hand that back by the 1st piece of woman they really help us yeah there's so many layers to this well no bit more a month after that meeting the opec meeting but for now dr mamdouh seller may thank you have a good day thank you. this is art international it's 19 minutes past one of the afternoon moscow time if you need some tips on coping with that tedious self isolation we have some advice from people who really know what it's like to spend months cooped up in a really small space and sage words coming up but for russian cosmonauts when the back you. are an.

some people who really know what it's like to spend months unable to go outside. on earth in all quarantine conditions this is an easy way to spend time in the conditions during the preparation for a space flight and during the flight itself we are put in a much more extreme situation compared to what we have to experience in a training capsule in which we are completely isolated from any information for 5 days what we are experiencing now can be called a holiday. isolation and isolation in the workplace not in the circle of family and friends this is isolation in a state of a fairly high risk with an unfavorable external environment and the timing advice relation is definitely different from what we have now on earth so of course space is a tougher environment. the

most important treatment for depression and despondency is to occupy yourself with something after all you can occupy yourself not only with homework but also with more pleasant things communicate with your family and friends i communicate with my parents on skype every day we drink tea together and show them what is happening outside our window look around and find all the positive things you can take out of this situation at the end of the day talk to your children talk to your grandchildren talk to your family take things apart do what you promise yourself to do a long time ago we're doing the right thing so try to enjoy it. yeah keep positive and take every day as it comes at a low it will pass in time let's hope for now from moscow it's the weekend even if the weather is nice where you are please do what the authorities in your part of the world is saying and stay safe for a while please. thought all this will keep you posted around the clock our web and social media teams are across it 24 seventh's for you if you download or up as well

of any breaking news straight to the device as it happens for now for me kevin 0 in russia thanks for watching r.t. international. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we fear to ask. micrographs friends aren't slights and dad sed you know whites are 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 an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say more 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. i can't show you my face but i'm going to teach you must store in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. they could charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for the week with the center for $23.00.
