while customers are told to stay home also ahead. the crew of a virus stricken u.s. warship. is sucking for publicly calling for the vessel to be evacuated the navy says he broke the chain of come up. with the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements this is the weekly on r.t. international hello and welcome. 1st the broader picture of where the world is right now with the co but 19 pandemic billions of people are currently under some sort of locked on but the number of coronavirus cases still rise there's no more

than 1200000 registered infections and more than 67000 have died but over a quarter of a 1000000 people have recovered. let's start off in israel this week making sure all communities abided by strict locked on rules was proving difficult there are more than 8000 known infections there the spite intense movement restrictions one hot spot is an ultra-orthodox time where locals are ignoring social distancing advice paul its leader discovered. welcome to mastering one of the oldest jewish neighborhoods in jerusalem now when you're into science fact this ask you not to prostitution in my district 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 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 are 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 now 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 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 to 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 24 people on the synagogue is an open place you. they allowed only 10 people to carry with to the houses to tease each other to still closing innocent why but. the only thing that we needed is the souls to be opened the only thing for nothing else was not

not. that i think. it was actually was that once was there was nothing that was. done he said must tell us some people screaming on the balcony i was trying to just wonder even it is just ridiculous i'm not going to see if he's really sick patients not scientists not people in this neighborhood i'm not sure i didn't see genesis was he just read the top of these in my piece appears to be saying that she thinks are actually things like money money resources to teach in the moment was. 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 crackdown. masha jerusalem. let's bring you to france now where the prime minister as indicated that the lockdown currently in the country is likely to be extended beyond the current april 15th threshold of the government's keen not to stretch or further stretch really be overwhelmed health service even so one medical emergencies chief says government efforts to supply protective equipment to medics is not moving fast and off by. scholz a has been describing the situation. visually to fall in the ills of france region results of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take a patient out of intensive care places immediately taken by another patient there is a period during which we will continue to work and lack equipment. all francis currently

dealing with around 90000 confirmed factions that equates to 7 and a half 1000 deaths the enforced stay at home regime is mentally taxing for everyone but the dangers in lockdown are or worse for some charlotte dubinsky reports from us. president marc cohen has described domestic violence against women as front 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 you can quickly go from psychological abuse to physical and sexual violence and can even lead to from side 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 it is this is often used to 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 pieces 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 you to let opponents of 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 counseling centers will be opened while an extra $1000000.00 euros is being funneled into anti 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 and all 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 if this was in january some are 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 want to 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 compelling. 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 19 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 inside with an abuser with limited. access to help while the governments in france has now recognized this it's already too late that those who suffered abuse and death in the 1st week of the lock down show that you can ski ot see paris and of course the problem's not restricted to france itself isolation has seen domestic violence increase in countries around the world there's also a spike in divorce supplications us couples struggle to get along in close proximity for so long domestic abuse survivor on campaign or rachael williams says it's important too to prevent to the measures before it's too late. to be the

right we've seen across the current the event countries that currently unlocked and 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 paid going forward. you know is it a pandemic upon a pandemic and this lots of things that can be done before we have massive influx i mean in the u.k. we've seen 9 deaths in the last 3 days and 2 of those would be the treatises so 2 families again by james 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 night and they feel that it's really had to be unlocked with the bitrate for 247. and i think it's people reaching their you because they cannot take it anymore. well a global movement is gathering pace calling on landlords to stop charging rent for harvesting but one multibillion euro firm has latched on to be idea to adi das is refusing to pay rent on its stores in germany because of the current lockdown and politicians are furious as peter oliver reports a stay at home to save lives is 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 than 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 if 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 products ever again. 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 have also announced that they would be either suspending all 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 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 is please do unions politicians must send a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlord says well a little left in the air rent is must pay if they can but what happens when or if

they can't that's one charted 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. on the way fired for flagging up health risks by u.s. navy captains greenstock for calling for his crew to be a vacuum waited from their warship following a covert 1000 i break on board. join

me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or 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 slights against women or nonwhites so it's always you know the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward a oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say more rather than the north more than we need

to call attention to them but it's not all slight so it's a very political in its contents. let's start with an unusual sight these days in one of europe's hardest hit countries for a coronavirus it is a welcome sight an open air market in the italian capital that is open for business as you can see here despite weeks of intense national don customers can browse this stalls so long as they stick to strict social distancing rules pretty hard for a considerable period being the world's worst affected nation but infection and

death rates are beginning to slow. with the us being the world's worst affected country neighboring mexico is ramping up virus testing at checkpoints near the border medics are taking travelers temperatures and the showing symptoms are immediately sent to hospital mexico's nearly 2000 infections 79 people have died. and the virus hit cruise ship docked in miami florida after being turned away from ports in other countries to the coral princess have died from. their bodies are still on board. president warning that the u.s. faces what could be its toughest week yet the states of pennsylvania colorado and also washington d.c. are emerging as new health the number of deaths nationwide has almost reached.

the captain of the 1st u.s. warship deployment to report in our break was fired on thursday after he sent the scolding memo pleading for help hundreds of sailors gathered on deck the theodore roosevelt the aircraft carrier cheering nick count them as he walked off the ship since then he himself has tested positive for corona virus. i. had 19 spread on board a bridge crew 0 circulated a memo where he outlined the dire situation on the road and pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation and eventually found its way into the media navy top brass a cruise your 100 calls the necessary alarm disregarded the chain of command to relieve the captain from duty. 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 saturday 155 of the 4800 personnel on board had tested positive for the virus more than half of the crew have not been tested on friday began to disembark on the tiny pacific island of guam where their ship docked but only $1500.00 have come ashore on would remain isolated in hotels there. former pentagon analyst michael maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when there is an eye prick 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 tap them because they do what they because they're on 247 duty they do what they call hot other words that someone who's on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps senate 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. now the mayor of new york has ordered an investigation into why amazon's sakta worker who led

a walkout on monday over concerns stuff weren't getting enough protection against coronavirus later a leaked memo seem to show almost all the executives tried to smear the former warehouse supervisor. he's not small what's a complete and to the extent the press wants to focus on auspices he will be in a much stronger position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how we're trying to protect workers. reportedly tested positive and dozens of the firms were run across the u.s. we spoke to the fired supervisor who told us just how worried the workers are. organized. you know it's a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because they're on sea. we've 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 their 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 building so the only thing amazon can do is listen to their people it we're asking the close the building down a sanitized destine the state can do in a bid now with them to do that then we should be happy we should be forced to work you know we're not as a sense to help is not as essential as they want us to be and just not fair and it's not right obama's own insists it fired chris after he'd ignored instructions

to stay home for 14 days following his coming into contact with a colleague who tested positive but mr small claims it's more about amazon's bottom line. knows that i was called in the uproar. building 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 are global go above the head and we'll go to city hall. and we'll fight with the government so the government steps in and shut the bill down. big. pharmaceutical firms right

around the world in a race to the. facts seen are. finding out about efforts right 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 birds 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's still in to change its part of the wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now be effective for a year or so is it the same as with seasonal flu or similar but not really the flu does mutate. when trying to present a 30 to 60 strains of the virus identify during the epidemic these strains already contain 149 mutations we can so far we don't have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 we have now is some

fragmentary names 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. know this is impossible so the point of the quarantine to prevent infection itself but to prevent a situation whereby everyone gets infected similar right in the almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. of the stories that shaped the week catch me again and. time again here are 2 international will in fact be back a few minutes earlier than the top of the hour as we go live to the british queen speech for only her 5th he will address to the nation in almost 7 decades on the cold pandemic for now though sit tight as we chronicle one prisoners extraordinary struggle for freedom justice and love gets the art.
