than a quarter of a 1000000 have recovered 2. so in israel in the week making sure all communities abided by strict lockdown rules was proving really difficult there are more than 8000 known infections there despite intense movement restrictions one hot spot is an older orthodox town where locals are ignoring social distancing advice as paulus leah discovered. welcome to mastering one of the oldest jewish neighborhoods in jerusalem now when you're into science fact this asked you not to prostitute anymore destress i am dressed modestly but you can already hear people shouting and booing and yelling they don't like journalists here they don't like the police here and we are here because we want to monitor the whole coronavirus situation and the fact that most of the cases are coming from ultra-orthodox neighborhoods like this one information is placed on

billboards because there is no television or radio in these communities many of the posters all the yiddish and 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 this virus and also encourage social distancing but it's too little too late the latest ata shows at the highest rates of infection 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 ultraorthodox 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 removing 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 thing that we need is the souls to be open the only thing for nothing else was there was no no group of these if he was he was actually was that once was or was was.

was was not there at that. time he said more often than not as some people screaming on the balcony i was trying to just wonder if it is just ridiculous i'm not going to see if he's really sick efficiency not the scientists not people in this neighborhood i'm not shy just in genesis was he just that's not the reason why the piece appears to be saying that she thinks are actually things like money when is the shop assistant teaching you moment was. was was. was. so many religious jews here prayer is not on city the coronavirus but with big hospitals reporting that 40 to 60 percent of cases come from the doc's neighborhoods the police will continue to

crack down. masha reem jerusalem the french prime minister has indicated that the lockdown in france is likely to be extended beyond the current april 15th threshold the government's key not to further stretch the overwhelmed health service even so one medical emergencies chief in the week told us government efforts to get protective equipment to medics still isn't moving fast enough though to erik chance he's been describing the deluge of patients his region's having to look after. sure a visionary default 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 france is currently dealing with around $90000.00 confirmed infections and over 7 and a half 1000 deaths in 4 stay at home regimes mentally taxing for everyone but for some the physical dangers are far worse covering that in the wake from paris

charlotte do bensky for us. 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 times of crisis always conducive to a rise in violence for those suffering home it can quickly go from psychological abuse to physical and sexual violence and can even lead to fansite as france enters its 3rd week of lockdown 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 2 victims were murdered this is what infuriates us representatives of feminist

associations is that now it is believed that domestic violence is a national problem in addition we are in crisis this means that the total number of cases of violence committed against human relationships increased and instead of increasing the working time of the hotline which used 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 cancelling 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 contact with women as 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. this happened there with incidents reportedly trebling ash 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 houses you know trapped in with men who clearly have a raging hunger problem so we cannot control themselves until we don't raise the public opinion that domestic violence is a social emergency until that day our quality shows 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

a limb. access to help while the government in france has now recognized this it's already too late for those who suffered abuse and desk in the 1st week of the lockdown charlotte devinsky r.t. paris the problem is not restricted to france of course so fossilization is seeing domestic violence increase in countries around the world there's also a spike in divorce appreciations as families struggle to get along in close proximity for so long to most of you survivor income poena ridge williams spoke to some the week and says it's really important to take preventative measures before it's too late. but the the right we've seen across the current the event countries that are currently in lockdown we are we've seen a 304050 percent increase reilly's and we know this is going to be coming to the u.k. and we need to be prepared going forward. you know is literally

a 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 9 deaths in the last 3 days. and 2 of those will be 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 then 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 made headlines too

in the week a global movement is gathering pace calling on landlords to stop charging rent for housing during the ongoing health crisis but one that multi-billion the euro firm has lost on to the idea to add it is refusing to pay rent on its stores in germany because of the current lockdown where politicians a furious here's 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 factures it's made them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores they've been forced to close that's 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 paid for their 3 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 products ever again added 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 vied to dissuade will by such a shame that a global corporation with 3200000000 in profits in 2019 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 extended not until july of 2021 something which has pleased the union's politicians must send a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlord sees well a little up in the air renters 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 girl in. the world this weekend good afternoon from russia on the way more of the week's key moments from around the world in the fight against the pandemic this is one of the stories we're going to tell you but more detail fired for flagging up health risks a u.s. navy captain sacked after calling for his crew to be evacuated from their warship from an outbreak onboard. max geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble.

a virus see through ship is docked in miami florida after being turned away from ports in other countries 2 guests on the coral princess have died from covert 19 fact their bodies are still on board president trump's 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 have almost reached 8 and a half 1000 now. the captain of the 1st u.s. warship on deployment to report an outbreak was fired on thursday after he'd sent a scolding memo pleading for help hundreds of sailors gathered on deck of the theodore roosevelt aircraft carrier cheering the captain as he walked off the ship . i spoke with 19 spread on bold red cross the cyclone hit

a memo where he outlined the diet situation on board as he saw it and pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation and eventually found its way into the media then maybe top brass said crazy had caused a necessary and had disregarded the chain of command and their full was relieved of his duties. but to allow those emotions to color our judgment when communicating the current operational picture can at best 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 forthcoming which was hardly the case president trump also described the captain's letter as inappropriate by saturday 1551 of the 4800 personnel on board had tested positive for the virus just under half the crew is being tested by friday to begin

to disembark on the tiny pacific island of guam with the ship adults but only $1500.00 came ashore is said to be isolated in hotels the. pentagon analyst michael maloof spoke to us in the week about it he told us about the unique dangers posed when there's an outbreak on a military vessel. 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 that someone who's on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps in it 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 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 mayor of new york sold an investigation into why amazon sacked a worker who little walk out on monday of the concerns that stuff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus later a leaked memo seem to show him as an executive trying to smear the film a warehouse supervisor. he's not small 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 in stuff of tested positive in at least 19 of the firms warehouses in the united states we spoke to the fired supervisor direct to explain to us just how worried the workers are. i 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 for the entire month of march. news people were underlining help 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 all 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 the state can 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 health is not as essential as they want us to be and just not fair and this is not right amazon insists it fired chris smalls of his ignored instructions to stay home for 14 days of the coming to coincide with a colleague who tested positive but he claims no he says it's more but bottom line . they notice that i was called an uproar j.f.k. stand island building that's the one of the largest buildings in the tri state area holds about 5000 people. a lot of money that they make in that building a lot of money i'm effect in that i'm affecting the business by speaking out so they got rid of me probably 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 say we're going to day won't do it we'll go both 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. on the side side of things pharmaceutical

firms around the world and on a big rush to try to develop a covert 19 vaccine artes and talk resolve 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 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 can see

but 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. you're still song clear where this is really going to go but that's it for this bulletin from moscow for now if that was the weekend with the weather's nice where you are to overseas please do heed what the authorities in your part of world are saying stay safe and well indoors here our teeth throughout it all will endeavor to keep you posted around the clock our team and social media teams are across it 247 if you download or up you'll get any breaking news as it happens straight to device so for now from russia it's cover

now in saying thank you for watching r.t. international. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people and promise to be you know it's all bots to. be. pretty. much. pretty good. now you want to 1st correct that. you know.

all. do you believe in miracles would seem democrats to you after the job i'd be surged on super tuesday for them the fear of the bernie sanders candidate see me now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump no easy task.

i love this town. and mr out tonight. too many people and too many little government people for them to tell you they're

all come on you can come we're going to protect you in your they're not going to do that. cold i think if people realize that the government is not going to protect us knocking this leave you if something were to happen it kind of like changes your your mindset your like only because i was in the military i know how the government works and i don't want to put money into that i don't believe they're going to protect me when the time comes so the only way you can protect yourself is by protecting yourself. here sitting in front of a blast proof bunker made by the u.s. or during world war 2.
