equipped. here's what our government has given asked. as you can see we need a full range of necessary medical equipment so we actually don't have to provide sufficient medical house. please for my heart. as the bodies of. being left on deserted streets because health services cannot cope with demand. that. international for more welcome to the program is just. south of day i'm kevin here with his 30 minute world news. and and as we've just been describing in the

headlines there are a couple of developing stories to brief you on 1st one for russia one person has died after a gas boiler explosion in apartment building in the moscow region it happened in the town that's around 90 kilometers east of the city of moscow at least 4 people have been injured there we gather 3 are in intensive care according to merge and the services they also think the explosion happened in the 3rd floor apartment destroying 5 apartments as it went off and badly damaging 5 others you can see the scale of the mess there for yourself emergency services say 6 people have thus far been rescued from the rubble we spoke to a witness about what they saw. i was in my balcony smoking then an explosion happened in the building and from where i was i could see the corner of the building i saw smoke shook with was so strong that even reached my windows will go to africa respondent is heading there now it's going to take an hour or so for

him to get there he gets there they disown the latest that's happening on that developing situation we keep across it came across this to. the other breaking news story 2 people have been stabbed to death in southeast france at least 5 others have been injured police arrested a man but they haven't given more details on the alleged motive let's get the latest on that from our correspondent in france charlotte do bensky charlotte hi. hi getting. you know what what are police saying them well we haven't had very much from the police other than the fact that the perpetrator behind this attack has been arrested and now an investigation is underway into what the motives were behind that attack what we know from local reports as to what happened is that this took place in a commune just south of leone called home of easier and it took place at around 11 am local time here in france and we understand that the assailant was armed with a knife and he had packed passers by in the center of this comment and also

according to reports went into some of the shops attacking customers and also staff inside those shops now we understand 2 people have been killed as a result of that attack and several others were injured including some who are said to need critical conditions or in critical condition in hospital right now receiving treatment for their injuries we also know more details from local reports about the attacker we understand it was a sudanese national who is an asylum seeker here in france and that he is said to be in his thirty's and we've also had witness reports it's been reported by local media that he shouted akbar while rushing towards his victims but that hasn't been confirmed by the police he has been arrested as i mentioned and the counterterrorism police are investigating but they haven't taken over this

investigation fully yet and it is too early for them to label this as a potential terror attack at the motivations are not known but we have heard from the interior minister here in france this is what christopher kastner had to say on twitter. all my thoughts go to the victims of the attack at romance or is their and their relatives their last perpetrator was arrested by national police the police and leon are mobilized under the authority of the justice department to stop was the nature of this horrific act well france is of course on its 3rd week of lockdown because of the koblick 19 pandemic and given the restrictions that are are in place for our daily lives here in france they should have been limited numbers of people in the street doing their essential shopping that doesn't change the fact that 2 people have lost their lives and several others have been injured in this attack today now what is quite interesting is in the last few weeks i.s.o.

isis ahead issued a travel alert and morning its fight is not to come to europe describing europe as being the land or the epidemic it said militants shouldn't travel here but of course if there are militants already in europe that's a very different story but again it's not clear yet whether the attack has any links a tool to any terror organization fronts of course no stranger to terror attacks it's been subjected to many many over the last few years starting in back in 2015 and it's been on high alert since then as a result of that at some of the latest incidents we've seen including one that was in a suburb in paris in the south of paris where one person was killed in a knife attack there of course there were also several injured and killed back in october an attack at the headquarters of the paris police protection so france no

stranger to attacks but this latest attack which is still not confirmed as the terror attack took place in the southeast of the country and we know that 2 people have lost their lives several others are injured many said to be critical but we know that the assailant has been arrested by the police and. ok shell if you get more details that is know you came across it should have been skim paris the. next let me brief you on earth the latest with the corona virus epidemic and the latest on it is that billions of people are currently under some sort of law but the number of corona virus cases is still rapidly increasing in this pandemic there are now more than 1100000 registered infections more than 60000 have died but almost a quarter of a 1000000 people have recovered. and there's a warning out of the onset of spring's warmer weather and the upcoming easter

weekend will for many be a temptation to travel but the warning is don't in france which is grappling with more than 82000 infections leaders fear it would make a bad situation much worse they're trying to get the message across that the coronavirus is not on holiday meantime hundreds of nurses there are raising awareness about the lack of protection by photographing themselves naked symbolic campaign runs for the house naked against covert $191.00 of the nurses involved says the french government's putting health workers at deadly risk. here's what our government has given as to fire they called it 19 as you can see we need a full range of necessary medical equipment so let's 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 to sas and patients and a threat we decided to perform naked as part of this campaign because our authorities leave us naked in the face of the pandemic francis no lay down special

high speed trains for moving infected patients between cities to is to try and ease the burden on overwhelm facilities by transferring the sick to less crowded hospitals willing to defray lifeless shell again says the country's health care systems but in dire need for over a decade. the modernistic these are i think our interests 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 france's health care system has been a dire conditions for 15 or 20 years the 5th the 6 strongest european economy doesn't have the capability to take necessary medical measures we have to understand that you have faced this choice this and you're pretty aware of that this is our reality we have to choose which patient to treat well just about every country is having a tough time trying to stay on top of infections some harrowing scenes coming through from ecuador stories the country has more than 3000 infections and

a 145 known fatalities this far but he won the city there are reports the families are going to leave the bodies of the dead on the streets health services are struggling to cope but the government says it is building a special facility for corona virus victims. my brother has just died due to a respiratory problem 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. 3 bit of well. 'd 'd so sad isn't it all of the developments member of the british science group responsible for mapping infections once the herd immunity strategy to maybe be reconsidered that would involve allowing 60 percent of the population there to get infected it had been suggested a few weeks ago but was abandoned as hospitals rapidly filled up professor graham medley says the lockdown right now simply isn't 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 lockdown it buys more time we can get more thought into it but it doesn't resolve anything it's a placeholder britain now has more than 38000 cases more than 3 and a half 1000 have died that's more than the number of fatalities recorded in china as another tracking solutions being floated by the health secretary to who's just recovering from the virus himself might hancock's looking at issuing immunity passports maybe to people who develop antibodies. we are looking at immunity 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 that comes from having had the disease that you know the problem right now is that the u.k. hasn't yet approved an antibody test and health experts say it's still far from clear whether people with antibodies are truly immune to reinfection anyway we discussed possible ways forward with british lawyer lou get off that 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 to get certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible practicalities it difficult non-playing know his 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 where you're going 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 that 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 as 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 carlyle 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. quite apart from the afternoon here in moscow i let me remind you of the breaking news that's coming in from russia. 90 kilometers east of where i'm talking to you from the start of the bulletin with this one person has died after a gas oil has exploded in apartment building east of moscow the blast happened and . caused the building to collapse the emergency services say 6 people have been rescued from the rubble 5 apartment have been totally destroyed while another 5 about lee damaged our correspondents make his way they should be there maybe next

hour to give us a 1st hand recap of what's happened there but you can see the devastation for yourself this is the international. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we are here to ask. if you can win every single time eventually some workers have to participate in the

american economy the american economy is not just buying for kleptocrats it's not buying for terrorists like there's labor involved people who work with people our families our values are the american history that like a state that has to be respected at some point you simply can't throw the keys to a group of wall street charlatans and give them 6789 trillion dollars and expect them to do something that's not outright act at all terrorism. logan oil prices have rallied slightly offer a glimmer of optimism in the global food overproduction right now prices demands dried up because of the corona virus but the other seems to there's also been a row of a cutting world supplies earlier from our correspondents. the 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 for doubt so on friday in a meeting with the country's top oil executives russian president vladimir putin suggested that he be ready to cut oil production in a bid to try and revive price collapse carlia seeing an $18.00 yet low price should grocery considers it necessary to join forces we were not initiators of the consolation of the opec plus deal we are ready for agreements with partners and we are 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 he also did specifically emphasize the thing 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. just when 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. a couple of weeks ago an impasse started between the wild top oil producing nations and that exactly was over slashing production so that saw prices plunge not was only wason when saudi arabia decided to essentially just open its taps and flood the market and that really caused chaos 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 in oil prices so stabilize ation measures will likely be the primary topic or top of the agenda at 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 production the u.s. as the top the oil producer also want to see this issue settled very quickly especially that unfortunately it's found itself in the terrible position of being the worst country in terms of the coronavirus pandemic. so just how solvable is the slump in the all market let's get some sort of economist and finance expert legs undercut over the line from paris a there yeah even if they do agree on the new production targets or monday not really buying oil right now because the whole coronavirus thing so surreal or mess and indeed no. mercy gloats that has been building over the last. 2 or 3 weeks. if you look at those reading inventories for example in the u.s. is where they are 3 called levels and we are rich or most. mexican store

assured us at least so. this is really something that has to be don't study those the markets and know we as though you were. entering into it's own look don't do that with more. with more restrictive measures are these this gloat or will only grow bigger or every passing day so something had to be done that surely this time saudi arabia only last week ramped up production why would they do that when it's already when there's no one buying the stuff what was the point of it well the point i think was to buy as much as they can before the price really collapses which show think they expect because of the storage or capabilities and because of this. collapse in demand so i think they are trying to boost as moshe's daycare their supplies to their customers in their

in asia for example in india and china that these are coming. out from it's looked out on the stage so i think this is what they are trying to do to put as much supply to the market before the final collapse how much of this is dented to the main service players trying to push their own and eliminate that shale production in america that's really on its up as now at the moment that innit . indeed yes did that was actually earth the main point of of all these strategies remember in 201420158 was already a ukase it didn't work and i look to it we did it we will work this time yes indeed there will be many bankruptcies there will be many share oil. wares that will be you know left aside but once prices will come up again and this will happen at some

point or all this. the city can move back in line saw i don't think it was or the right move and no i think the alternative strategy is really to talk with everybody eat including we do u.s. producers and their representatives or see what happens on monday the big meeting coming up economists alike have a catheter in paris thank you for your time stay safe stay well if you emerge thank you or it. was korean the world suicide bombing range coronavirus indeed a nationwide 3 minute silence has been held in china over it leaders including chinese president xi jinping pay their respects to the victims of the coronavirus pandemic and to the medics who lost their lives while battling the disease more than 3000 health care workers have contract and covered 1000 since the outbreak which began their course last autumn. the country's reactions what's happening is imposing in a quarantine rule by separating the sexes men and women now have specific days

when they each week go outside all the move to stay on a sunday by the way officials say too many people have been circulating despite the rules and the hope that can be tackled therefore by stopping men and women going out together similar measures are being enforced in peru to now this is happening in america. in san francisco a car horn protest is against the way immigrants are being detained in holding centers is claimed it puts them at risk of contracting covert 19 protesters kind of course a mask because of isolation the take into their cars making a noise about it similar caravans to in los angeles in san diego and in sacramento . something else to worry about there's a warning for people to be alert scammers profiting from the pandemic right now britain's fraud reporting center says it's logged $105.00 coronavirus online scams
