because there is no television or radio in these communities many of the posters on the yiddish language that was spoken in the 9th century in central europe most israelis don't speak yiddish it's only the ultra-orthodox communities who do not some of these posters warn against the koran as virus and also encourage social distancing but it's too little too late the latest ata shows that the highest rates of infection are among the ultra-orthodox and they still not taking heed superintendent mickey rosenfeld is the national police spokesperson and he's here to assess things how exactly have the ultra-orthodox been flouting the regulations well here we are located in the area of meshaal in the religious neighborhood we've seen an extremely high number of people that have been in the streets our units are now patrolling all of the different areas because we want to prevent the corona virus from spreading that is something that's absolutely vital here in israel as we've seen the numbers going up and the main problem being inside the area is the fact that the neighborhoods are very closed very confined and we seeing that the

message is not getting out to the public there are large numbers of people inside the families we're talking about couples plus 567 even 10 children and we have to make sure that people stay at home and they stay away from each other as much as possible at this stage in some cases police would be moving people from synagogues and closing down places of worship it's really tough going trying to convince people in this ultra orthodox neighborhood to abide by the n.t. come on a virus or does. buses are allowed to travel with 25 people on board a synagogue is an open place. they allowed only 10 people to carry with 2 nieces between each other. still closing it why. the only seeing the only need is the soles to be opened the only thing nothing else was sure was not know. if he was he was actually was that once was or was

not there it was right. he said not so nice people screaming on the balcony and i was trying to ask one of the villagers cheers because they're not in the c.c.c. that we stick efficiency not scientists not people in this neighborhood i'm not trying to stay genesis was changed history was not the reason why the piece appears to be saying that she thinks are actually things like money money that the shop assistant to the moment was. was was was was her. so many religious jews here prayer is that on city the coronavirus but with big hospitals reporting that 40 to

60 percent of cases come from docs neighborhoods the police will continue to crack down. masha reem jerusalem elsewhere the french prime minister has indicated that the lockdown in france is lucky to be extended beyond the current taper 15 threshold the government's keen though not to further stretch the overwhelmed health service even so one medical emergencies chief spoke to some the wakin says government efforts to get protective equipment to medics isn't moving fast enough so to egg shells he's been describing the deluge of patients his region's having to treat. not sure a visionary do for in the ills of france region we're sort of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take a patient out of intensive care their place is immediately taken by another patient there is a period during which we will continue to work and lack equipment that france is currently dealing with there are 90000 confirmed infections and over 7 and a half 1000 deaths the in for stay at home regime is mentally taxing forever but for some the physical dangers are far worse the shallow do bensky reported from

paris in the week. president marc cohen has described domestic violence against women as says shame or average one woman is killed by her partner every 3 days it's one of the highest femicide rates in europe crisis was conducive to terrorize and violence has also france harm it can quickly go from psychological abuse to physical and sexual violence and can even lead to fantasize as france enters its 3rd week of rock down it's becoming clear how dangerous it's been for those in abusive relationships reports of domestic violence sought in paris they were up 36 percent across the rest of the country it was 32 percent to the victims were murdered notices of. militant humiliate

representatives or feminists associations is that now it is believed that domestic violence is national problem and additionally are in crisis this means that the total number of cases of violence committed against women relationships increased and instead of increasing their working time and. to work until 10 pm now due to lack of funds the service stops working at 7 pm given the surge over ports of domestic abuse france's gender equality minister has announced the government will pay for hotel rooms for victims it says pop up currently in centers will be opened while an extra $1000000.00 euros is being funneled into empty domestic abuse organizations my biggest concern is to multiply the points of conduct was women as it is difficult for women to get out we want to make sure the support systems can reach them for many domestic abuse charities confinement under roys in domestic abuse was already

a foregone conclusion there was already anecdotal evidence from. china this happened there with incidents reportedly trebling mashed tag translating is empty domestic violence during epidemic also went viral even though this was in january so much questioning why european countries like france didn't put a safety net in place at the start the answer is that our politicians are simply ignoring women's rights that aren't human rights so basically they're very scared now about the barriers but what about the safety of these women with children living in this house is you know trapped in with men who clearly have rage and hunger problems so you cannot control themselves until we don't raise the public opinion that domestic violence is a social emergency until that day our quality shows will keep thinking and treating

this problem as a minor problem it's not just women who are too risk children's charities sounded the alarm to over the heightened risk of compiling. millions of children around the world will likely face increasing threats to the safety and wellbeing including mistreatment gender based violence exploitation social exclusion and separation from caregivers because of actions taken to contain the spread of the pandemic with children no longer in school and social distancing in place it's hold up the younger victims of abuse to be recognised the problem is compounded by cell phone isolation measures given that social workers aren't able to make regular calls in person. is supposed to be the safest place that any of us can be right now for victims of abuse that small case it can mean being trapped in so i'd within

and we need to be paid going forward. you know is pandemic upon a pandemic and this lots of things that can be done before we have this massive influx i mean in the u.k. we've seen now in deaths in the last 3 days. and 2 of those were the traitors so to families again by dates and 3 separate killings of women i think we've seen a rise in new and cases of domestic abuse being reported and also ben the the ones who have been living with this for a while. for many years may be that know they feel that it's really had to be unlocked with the traits of the 247. and i think it's people reach and i am because they cannot take it anymore. this story to

a global movement is gathering pace calling on landlords to stop charging rent for housing during the ongoing health crisis and one multi-billion euro firm as largest on to that idea to do this is refusing to pay rent on it still was in germany because of the car unlocked and more politicians of furious is our europe correspondent peter oliver stay at home to save lives as being the all encompassing mantra of this pandemic but for those that can't work from home well it has meant losing their jobs for some and having to rely on state benefits for one of the world's largest sports money factor is it's made them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores they've been forced to close off what adi da says done and it's drawing fire from the german government it's indecent and then acceptable it financially strong firms now just stop paying their rents the brand pay for their

$3.00 strike design made over $3000000000.00 in profits last year and they're being accused of trying to save a quick buck in times of crisis with so many european leaders saying they're not going to buy the dust product ever a good idea to us responded by saying they weren't the only ones but that appropriate arrangements had been made and that smaller landlords would get their money they're not the only ones to be sure clothing giant h. and m. as well as german giant stores like soft or medium are of also announced that they would be either suspending or delaying the page and read in the future by the way these are the last pair vida to swivel by such a shame that a global corporation with 3200000000 in profits in t. 1019 is exploiting and or protecting tenants existence. but what about the private renter and landlord slightly more than half of the people in germany own

a home last week the german government promised well over 800000000000 euro in emergency funds to tackle the financial fallout from corona virus one of the big pieces of legislation is that all the victims will be suspended from april until september of this year with the option of actually extending that until july of 2021 something which is pleased the unions politicians must send a clear signal the home must be safe. but where this leaves landlord says well a little up in the air rent is must pay if they can but what happens when or if they can't that's uncharted territory one would presume that it falls to loans of some kind from the hundreds of billions that have been put forward by anglo merkel's government but just how one goes about getting one of these loans how much

will be made available nobody really knows just yet what we're seeing is that as governments are trying to stop the actual spread of the coronavirus they're also trying to insulate business and financial systems from infection of their own kind peter all of a party. wife rushes kevin only on the way of the most international more the weeks key moments from around the world in the fight against the pandemic. flagging up health risks you got the story of a u.s. navy captain who's been sacked after calling for his crew to be evacuated from their warship following outbreak onboard.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. micrographs friends aren't slights against you know whites or men for example there's their spite against women or more i'm not white so it's 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 it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying or rather than or more than we need to call attention to them but it's not so it's very political in this country.

and. get this is out international an unusual sight these days next for you want to europe's hardest hit countries for coronavirus check these pictures if you will an open air market in the italian capital which has opened up for business in the spring sunshine there that's a nice sight to see isn't it fingers crossed despite weeks of intense national customers can browse the stores there as long as they still stick to the strict social distancing rules italy had of course for a while been the world's worst affected nation total tragedy there but infection and death rates beginning to slow. elsewhere in the world with the us being the world's worst affected country now than neighboring mess. soko is ramping up virus

testing at checkpoints near the border medics are taking travelers temperatures and any showing symptoms are immediately sent to hospital mexico's load nearly 2000 infections 79 have died. a virus a cruise ship is docked in miami in florida of being turned away from ports in other countries to guests on the coral princess of died from covert 19 their bodies indeed still on board president trumps warning that the u.s. faces what could be its toughest week yet coming up and that the states of pennsylvania and colorado and also washington d.c. are emerging as new hot spots the number of deaths nationwide the supposed 8 and a half 1000. the captain of the 1st u.s. warship on deployment to report an outbreak was fired on thursday after he sent a scolding memo pleading for help hundreds of sailors gathered on deck the theodore roosevelt aircraft carrier cheering the captain as he walked off ship.

as covert 19 spread on board bricked crows he has circulated a memo where he outlined the dire situation on board he said and pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation and eventually found its way into the media then maybe top brass said croes it had caused unnecessary alarm and disregarded the chain of command and so relieved the captain from g.t. . but to allow those emotions to color our judgment were communicating the current operational picture can it best create unnecessary confusion and at worst provide an incomplete picture of american combat readiness to our adversaries 1st the captains actions majors sailors their families and many in the public believe that his letter was the only reason. help from our larger navy family was forthcoming which was hardly the case president trump also described the captain's letter as

inappropriate by saturday 155 but of the 4800 personnel onboard had tested positive for the virus just under half the crew is being tested on friday the began to disembark on the tiny pacific on to the ship adult but only $1500.00 came ashore they're going to be isolated in hotels there. former pentagon analyst michael maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when there isn't a bright light that on a military vessel like that it's very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise a cruise ship which also was infected on an aircraft carrier a destroyer or submarine you don't have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the captain because they do what they because they're on 247 duty they do what they call hot words they someone who's on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps that i mean it's that close they confide and as

a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if you're in the open ocean is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladder 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 mayor of new york's ordered an investigation into why am was in the sack to work who led a walkout on monday over concerns that staff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus later a leaked memo seem to show imus in executives try to smear the former warehouse supervisor he's not small it's what's a complete and to the extent the press wants to focus on our spouses heem we will be in a much stronger p.r. position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how we're trying to protect workers. stuff have tested positive in at least 19 of the firm's warehouses in the united states we spoke to the fired supervisor direct to explain to us just how

worried the workers are. organize a strike you know it's a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because they're on sea. we got people does home i haven't been paid for the entire month of march. these 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 coronavirus and they're not being transparent with employees in our 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 they're very scarce right now and him it's always depleted. the cleaning crew that they hired to clean the buildings they're scared to come to work themselves so. a lot of them 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 stick and do it if they're now within the doodad 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 on the other side of this i was insistent 5 chris smalls after he did nord instructions to stay home for 14 days after apparently coming into contact with a colleague who tested positive but he claims it's more about amazon's bottom line . i know is there i was called in the uproar a stand now in building that's one of the largest buildings in the tri state area holds about 5000 people. 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 trying to silence me to terminate me to stop the movement but i see empowered me so they motivated me even more and i'm going to continue to fight

like i said we're going to a day won't do it we'll go ball go above the head and we'll go to city hall. and we'll fight with the government and so the government steps in and shut the building down pharmaceutical firms around the world and on a big race to try to develop 1000 vaccine. ski's been finding out about efforts happening here in russia. before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on that a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. why is it hard to develop a vaccine. because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it still come in to change its parts with wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now won't be effective in half a year or is it the same as with seasonal flu similar but not really the flu does

this past winter in the present of 30 to 60 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained 149 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 few 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 asleep right yes indeed almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. and that's not great here in the face of it is it that's it from moscow for now it is the weekend even the weather's nice where you are hope it is a place to heed what the authorities in your part of the world are saying and stay safe and well for us here at r.t. throughout all this we're keeping your posted are and around the clock our web
