to add to it and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. explosion calls up part. 3 people. over its investigation into. terror. and.

here's what has given. to provide sufficient. hard. forth a very warm welcome to our to international law. we begin with our developing story in russia 3 people are confirmed to have. a boiler explosion ripped through

the building causing it to partially collapse a warning you may find the following pictures. the body of the 3rd victim was recently taken out of the debris. urgency ministry 9 more people were injured 4 of currently are in hospital it all happened in a ton located there are 90 kilometers east of moscow correspondent he spoke to me earlier from the scene. the rescue services and in fact you can see behind me there's plenty of rescue workers they're still working on clearing out the debris essentially a whole section of a 5 story residential building collapse because of a gas explosion talked to some people in fact i talked to an elderly woman who lived in that particular section but she was a lucky and she was not living she didn't live in the section that collapsed but

right next to it here's how she told me he's how she described to me what she experienced pretty clearly that they measured services arrived and told us to leave the building we were about to do that but it turned out that our friend joe had been torn apart and the nearest wall had collapsed and locked the exit start to scream and telling them that we couldn't get out of their majesties services then had to rescue us if we don't know what to do know the house is no longer suitable for lay then we will move then her daughter but she has 2 children and a husband and now also the 2 of us in a 4 to square metre apartment well in fact the blast was so powerful that it shadowed the windows of adjacent of nearby buildings as you can see there are shattered all over the ground and this is the building that right that is right in front of the one that where the gas explosion explosion had happened it's not the only building that suffered from of this we also talked to some people who witnessed it who didn't live in this particular residential building but who

witness said from from their homes is what they told us 1st here. i was in my balcony smoking that an explosion happened in a 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 window. in the distance that i was at home when i heard the noise it sounded like a building was shaking i rushed to the street but i couldn't see anything then i heard the police and firefighters sirens i followed the people standing outside in blankets among them were many children and elderly people. at 1st all i could see was a cloud of dust but a few minutes later when it dispersed i saw a guy sitting on the 3rd floor who was covered in blood people immediately rushed towards him slowly brought him down 5 minutes later and ambulance arrived and took him away. those 200 people who had been evacuated from this building they are right now in a nearby school this is where they have been placed for now but obviously all of

them are concerned as to where they will be spending this night already well the governor of the moscow region talked to them and then he talked to us to journalists and he explained what the authorities are going to do to help out those who have found themselves in this tragedy that is the nationals of the show. is to provide everyone with accommodation and then the experts will make a decision on what happens next with the building of the residents affected you receive special material assistance with which will several people are still unaccounted for no it doesn't mean that they are there under the tons of rubble behind me but it means they are simply not picking up their phones and as the authorities are trying to reach them but still rescue as well it's still a lot of work ahead of them and it seems it looks like that they are going to be working through the night here. there. were a deadly stabbing incident in the southeast of the country is now being treated as a potential terror attack if left to did that at least 5 injured it's believed her

written documents pointing to a possible motive were followed in the suspect was this is how witnesses describe the moment of the attack. the key i heard people scream or ran outside there was a person standing there the police quickly arrested him or human handcuffs and knocked him to the ground out there talking for a quiet town like i was having such a serious incident near a pulp mill is shocking with. the president among all mccrone earlier offered his condolences to victims here sir france correspondent charlotte devinsky with more on the attack where 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 coalmine just south of on call. and it took place at around 11 am local time here in france now we understand that the assailant was armed with a knife and he it packed passers by in the center of this comment and also according to reports went into some of the shops attacking customers and also a star 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 kiev thirty's we have heard from the interior minister here in france this is what christopher kastner had to say on twitter or my thoughts go to the victims of

the attack at romance or is their and their relatives their ledge 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 and we've also had witness reports it's been reported by local media that he shouted back 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 these are the latest figures in the covert 19 pandemic today billions of people are currently under some sort of lockdown but the number of coronavirus cases is still increasing there are now almost 1200000 registered infections more than 64000 people have died but almost a quarter of a 1000000 people have recovered.

well let's start in france which has now reported its deadliest day yet with frontline medical staff saying they're exhausted still under equipped hundreds of nurses are raising awareness about their lack of protection by photographing themselves without any clothes on their symbolic campaign runs with the naked eye against covert $191.00 of the nurses involved ses the french government's putting health workers a deadly risk. look. here's what our government has given asked. as you can see we need to full range of necessary medical equipment such we actually don't have to provide sufficient medical help for our patients and the risks for us as well as with the government and at least under threat we decided to before make it as part of this campaign because i thought i'd just leave us naked in the face

of the pandemic. from late on special high speed trains for moving infected patients between cities to try and ease the burden that overwhelmed facilities by transferring the sick to less crowded hospitals from near lifeless shell again ses the country's health care system has been in dire need of an overhaul over in. the middle east 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 in a 15 or 20 years the 5th the 6th strong as european economy doesn't have the capability to take the necessary medical measures so they have to understand that you refuse this choice this and you're pretty aware that this is our reality we have to choose which patients to treat. of course just about every country is having a tough time trying to stay on top of infections but particularly hard knowing

stories emerging in ecuador in the countries most densely populated city there are reports that having having to leave the bodies of their dead on the streets health services or struggling to cope well the government says it is building a special facility for corona virus victims. my brother has just died due to respiratory problems 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 mourning the. body lying here on the side 3 ready ready. haro in weight well let's move now to europe again where a member of the british science group responsible for marking infections once they herd immunity we've heard a lot about before often without strategy to be reconsidered it would involve allowing 60 percent of the population to get infected it was suggested

a few weeks ago but was abundant does hospitals rapidly fill up professor graeme medley ses the lockdown currently in place in the u.k. 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 looked at it buys more time we can get more thought into it but it doesn't resolve any think it's a placeholder. well britain is battling with 41000 cases currently as we know as well but over 4300 people hours of this saturday of die is more than the number of fatalities recorded in china it's led to another trucking solution being floated by the health secretary who himself has just recovered from

the virus but one cox looking at issuing immunity passports the people who developed bodies. we are looking at munity certificate how we can how how people who are 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 but it's too early in the science of the immunity that comes from having happen disease the problem right now though is that of the u.k. as not yet approved the antibody test and health experts say it's still not clear whether people with the antibodies those who've had this season recovered are truly immune to reinfection we discuss possible ways forward with british lawyer luke gets us liberal democrat party politician alan 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 and claim it's 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 equivalent in this country going in suggesting people are losing their jobs feel as if 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 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 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 in the virus itself. says r t from moscow if you need some tips on coping with self isolation after the break we hear from. being cooped up in

a small space for months on end. in the program.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. again oil prices rallied slightly after a glimmer of optimism and a global feud over production prices. dried up because of coronavirus but behind the scenes there's also been a rock over cutting world supplies we heard more all not earlier from correspondent . 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 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 oil production in a bid to try and revive the price collapse of carney at seeing an $18.00 yet low price should grosser 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 that they 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. 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 your developing situation everyone is interested in joining to and i would like to emphasize coordinated actions for ensuring long term market stability. a couple of weeks ago and impasse started between the wild top oil producing nations and not exactly was over slashing production so that saw prices plunge not was only wason when saudi arabia decided to essentially just open its tops 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 you stabilize ation measures will likely be the prime rate top. well top of the agenda after the opec plus

meeting and actually we're getting reports that the majority of opec members do actually support cutting down on production the u.s. is the top the oil producer who also want to see this. very quickly especially unfortunately it's found itself in the terrible position of being a country in terms of the coronavirus pandemic. only on this story really blamed brush for the failure to agree on production cuts saudi officials also refused to cleans up intentionally trying to squeeze our chill oil producers in order we discussed who might be responsible with the chief executive of a foreign exchange brokerage and also with a columnist political commentator so you are a very desperate mayor almost bankrupt they have to pry i say they have a vast vast deficit they are running the government has so many expenses and they have not enough being done so they have to increase their own production to sell it

at any price the saudis someplace for this mess definitely and only russia is at the minute the only one who is a problem and who is supply tries to get everybody back to the table and makes good not only good 'd suggestions they are even willing to cut their own production even though they need the money to do i can say with confidence but you really need a ph d. . when. increase the use of production in order to let's say harm or ethical all the other. ground to kind of. of discounts well that if he goes by it without saying it gets a lot of pressure on the on the on the project he's already losing money they are kept on. life for assistance with probably with some subsidizing their suffering a lot and most probably would have to cut. on you know on the expenses they're

doing that means also him possibly even more on the same government side. maybe not the bankruptcy situation but if you hold it could become quite quite fast . the united states has announced the launch of a muscle or caltex operation in the car a b. and that is up to washington charge the venice whale and president nicolas maduro for drug trafficking artie's came up and has more on the story the age old american war on drugs is taking a rather interesting new turn we must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten american lives there is an armada of ships now headed to the caribbean to fight against drug cartels today the united states is launching. enhanced counter narcotics operations in the western hemisphere we're deploying additional

navy destroyers combat ships aircraft and helicopters coast guard cutters and air force surveillance aircraft doubling our capabilities in the region so they're headed to mexico or colombia to smoke out the narco gangs well actually no they're headed for venezuela that's a country with a socialist government that has long been a target in u.s. regime change operations is it really easy to make a tyrant who brutalizes his people but matures grip and tyranny will be smashed and broken the longer that nicolas maduro hangs on to power the deeper the misery of the venezuelan people washington now wants us to believe that the former bus driver and now elected marxist computer as a side job as a drug king can corrupt actors like the illegitimate madore resume in venezuela rely on the profits derived from the sub narcotics to maintain their oppressive

hold on power the venezuelan people continue to suffer tremendously you know a door as criminal control over the country the u.s. department of justice has accused nichols in the dural of being a narco terrorist and conspiring to flood the united states with cocaine. now this comes just days after the united states offered to lift crippling sanctions on venezuela if they will agree to a power sharing agreement with the american backed opposition however marco rubio has been quite vocal about what the ultimate endgame is and it's not do will power . if you have just been indicted for narcotics trafficking and have a $15000000.00 reward for your capture having south com conducting counter-narcotics operation software coast with a surge of destroyers a walks an army brigade and special operators is not very comforting what's very clear is that a nicholas mogul. who job is. a euro any

revolutionary leadership any it's an imperialist leadership the united states is going to reject and they're going to do everything they can to overthrow this leadership it looks like a distraction smoke and mirrors as it were because with this incredible in measurable unprecedented crisis at home with this pandemic how can they be so far sighted we can't even see it was going to happen in the next few weeks with. the coronavirus how can they be so far sighted to record and hold future that is why the department of justice hasn't put forward very much evidence to back up their claims against me dura let's not forget that a series of damning revelations from the 1980 s. reveal that certain government officials were conspiring to flood the united states with cocaine however let's remember that those government officials were a lot closer to home martin artsy new york. people have

been coming up with plenty of creative ways to break the boredom of self isolation without constantly looking in the fridge from online workouts to virtual nightclubs there's all sorts of solutions for us to get together without actually getting together let's hear from some people who really know what it is like to spend months on able to go outside. it was enabled to flu was living. in a quarantine condition the market was this is an easy way to spend time and the conditions during the preparation for space. and during the flight itself we are put in a much more extreme situation compared to what we have to experience in a training capital to which we are completely isolated from any information with 5 days what we are experiencing now can be called a holiday. isolation in space 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 of isolation is definitely different from what we have now on earth so of course space is a tougher environment. on the what is 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 you communicate with your family and friends you communicate with my parents on skype every day we drink tea together and show them what is happening outside our window you look around and find all the positive things you can take out of the 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. great advice well

throughout all this we are to international are keeping you posted or run the clock 247 not only from here in moscow. but also with her on careers and reporters and studios around the world to bring to us we all get through these tricky times together and endeavor to bring you the best possible coverage. so far not me you don't know the specs for watching stay safe. do you believe in miracles would seem democrats to you after the job by the surge on super tuesday for them the fear of the bernie sanders candidate c. may now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump is no easy task .

hey i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report lockdown 2nd month of lockdown finding a lockdown was this great i would have done a lot sooner this is really a fabulous stacy one thing we're learning through this process of lockdown is the supply chain and distribution and the problem of distribution and the problem with distribution on agricultural goods and facemasks and personal protection a quick man a lifestyle wipes and things like that has made me really think of the monetary system and the problems with distribution and the monetary system because as you know one of the solutions offered for the covert 19 pandemic is that we're going to
