theodore roosevelt aircraft carrier cheering the captain as he walked off the ship . i. was covert $900.00 sport on board see a secular for the memo way he outlined the di a situation on board and pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation it eventually found its way into the media navy top brass said close it had caused unnecessary alarm and disregarded the chain of command was relieved the full of his duties. but to allow those emotions to color our judgment when communicating the current operational picture can it fast create unnecessary confusion and at worst provide an incomplete picture of american combat readiness to our adversaries 1st the captain's actions made his sailors their families and many in the public believe that his letter was the only reason help from our larger navy family was

someone else sleeps in it i mean is that closely complied and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if the open ocean is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladders holding the same areas constantly and to keep those areas germ free is it's going to be a much would be a monumental task. the mare of new york's ordered an investigation into why amazon sat to work who'd led a walkout on monday of a consensus staff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus leagues memo seem to show amazon executives tried to smear the former warehouse supervisor . he's not small it's what's a collate and to the extent the press wants to focus on auspices he will be in a much stronger p.r. position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how we're trying to protect workers and was the stuff of tested positive in at least 19 of the firm's
4:23 am
warehouses in the united states we spoke to the fired supervisor direct to explain to us just how worried the workers are. organized this strike you know as a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because they're on sea. we got people that's home to haven't been paid but entire month of march. people were underlining health conditions they got lucas they got bronchitis they guy asthma we have an unknown amount of people that tested positive for the corona virus and then not being transparent with employees in ny caring about employees health we was asking for was to be protected they're not providing us with enough mask the proper type of gloves just not enough cleaning supplies within the building the very scarce right now and him it's always depleted. to cleaning crew that they hired to clean the buildings they're scared to come to work themselves so. a lot of them
4:24 am
haven't been showing up to work you know the people who are afraid to work in that building those types of buildings so the only thing amazon can do is listen to their people it we're asking the close the building down a sanitized destiny state and do it if they're now within to do that then we should be happy we should be forced to work you know we're not as a sense to our help is not as essential as they want us to be and just not fair and it's not right when the other side of this summer's insists it fired chris smalls after he did nord instructions to stay home for 14 days of the coming into contact with a colleague partly who'd tested positive but he claims it is more about amazon's bottom line. they notice that i was causing an uproar a stone island building that's one of the largest buildings in the tri state area army holds about 5000 people that's a lot of money that they make in their building a lot of money i'm effect in that i'm effect in the business by speaking out so they got rid of me privately souness me to terminate me to staff to move me but i
4:25 am
see empowered me so they motivated me even more and i'm going to continue to fight like i said we're going to day more do it we'll go go go above the head and we'll go to city hall. and now we'll fight with the government so the government steps in and set the bill down. pharmaceutical firms around the world are now in a race to try to develop a covert 19 vaccine artes and to increase of ski's been finding out about efforts here in russia. but before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on birds a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. and why is it hard to develop a vaccine. because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus is still into change its parts wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now won't be effective in half
4:26 am
a year or. is it the same as with seasonal flu similar but not really the flu doesn't mutate this fast when trying to present to 30 to 60 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained $149.00 mutations we conclude that so far we don't have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 all we have now is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics but just aggregate information and signal their progress what solution may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have to sue patients so statistical analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine is not to prevent infection itself but to prevent a situation whereby everyone gets infected simle taney asli right yes indeed almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. well that's it from moscow for now it's the week earlier the weather's nice we're on the sun's out please doing there what

4:28 am
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 slight so it's a very political in this context and. this is a story of women and women was troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of us did leave leave. out there. were not. the person that. the cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. falling off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough punishment in the world of women on death row.
