the british government is being stressing the importance of working together with other nations when it comes to curing protective equipment for front line workers it's the team effort and the national mission to defeat an international pandemic but french officials say it's us by is they're flexing their financial muscles when it comes to snapping up the much sought after protective gear i found us talk of mosques that was irrelevant and americans i'm not talking about the american government but americans are to be. offered 3 times the price and their proposed pain up front i can do that i'm spending taxpayers' money while donald trump was particularly slow when it came to accepting the severity of the coronavirus it seems that sharp elbows fuck wallets and presidential to crease the companies over who they should sell their goods to how we hopes to make up for lost time future

all over r t earlier. in italy 15800 people have died since the start of the outbreak is the highest number in the world the daily fatality rate has been slowing in recent days but funeral services in several provinces are still over well. never going to do to you we have received approximately 150 coffins and used for time that the army is going to collect them and take it up from asia and south and it's all over and i need to take him to be.

united kingdom taking to the airwaves to television screens all the nation of the crew called a message by. the n.h.s. that this part really something which is quite rare how about this. the queen usually she only addresses the nation when she is giving the christmas address to the country and these types of occasions are very rare she did start by thanking n.h.s. workers who really have become popular around the country for bad education tried to quite code it might see at the same time the lots of pressure on the government to increase their support in terms of protective equipment and in some of the testing for those n.h.s. stuck at it how to highlight just how all go how usual this address by the queen is she herself made reference to the fust time as she addressed the

nation of the young lady it reminds me of the very 1st broadcast i made in 1000 phone cheney helped to my sister we as children spectrum him and winston to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety today once again many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. but now as then we know deep down the ditch is the right thing to do it comes really the queen's speech a little over a week off the house armed to the throne prince charles tested positive for coded and i see you didn't give a speech a few days ago updating the country and saying that he was one of the lucky ones because his suits and if you will. all of this against the backdrop or yet another devastating day or 2 terms of the number of deaths almost 700 people killed

in the last 24 i was offered just uncalled for coded my taking the figures close to $5000.00 that votes have died in the u.k. takes united kingdom above tried out which is thought to be where this. outbreak took place outbreak started but also iran as well another country which under heavy u.s. sanctions and has struggled to deal with this crisis and i just dropped contextualizes. out. care homes for the elderly in the united kingdom say that they are running critically low on protective gear including masks and gloves and several buses of even threatened to resign if the government doesn't take action meanwhile producers of equipment being accused of profiting from the situation quote into one of the biggest care providers in britain the cost of a prince has been hiked up by 166 percent while musk prices are up more than a 1000 percent another social care provider says

a box of gloves that used to cost $2.00 pounds now cost $8.00 and another supply reportedly tried to charge $179.00 pounds for a small part of hand before the pandemic it would have been just 5 pounds now to ahmed executive chair of britain's national carousel station told us quick profit is standing in the way of protecting people. i think it's a real shame because the people who need it. around evil to purchase it and when they are purchasing it they're being charged this enormous. profit by the supply so i think it is in a pandemic like clear even right now it's the wrong time to be doing this because we're trying to do this to protect the people who are delivering care and and make sure that the the older people that we're looking after and not going to be

impacted by the lack of p.p. . the government says it has provided every home nation why with 300 masks on the department of health says that it's working round the clock to provide the social care sector with the equipment it needs but the head of britain's largest social care regulator says it's simply not enough. i don't think the government's doing enough to stop us proper tiering only. they are distribution centers where you can get. an additional. p.p.t. or from them but what they're arguing mare's it's not enough so i prefer i turn. it over to use what they offer is. also marched to sort through. some clouds and some recruits who are not very far as hers but she's one of the great princes who stop any sort for office. but that's not for me for you they are doing the government for this fund. release from.

publix places that much anymore and i think it's good that we all take our own responsibilities i think you should just have a. say thinking about it and maybe not stand too close to people i trust sweden i don't really think about. that someone's you people are like sitting close and it's like a pack a bar i don't go in there but now i don't really care or is sick people every soul and a day don't even know it so yeah but you have to go home also so you need to go to need to go after work so we have no choice. but we spoke to a swedish epidemiologist he says the model base is some place on the belief people in sweden are more disciplined than in other countries obviously there measures when they hear about it for a d s r differently but it's not only. the difference it's not only regarding the type of

measurements whether it where it goes in its course and what or etc it has not been very simply clear guidelines in terms of its source of for themselves instructions as to how the population is should should behave there are more driven days to as there is no any punishment it's nor any penalty for anyone not following their recommendations which are basically in the notion that 3 people in sweden would be even more disciplined countries or they would have more trust or more confidence in their authority sent and therefore it would be more willing to do photos are going to asians. online classes and life stream for foreman says after the break we'll find out how fit is worldwide they're adapting to the health crisis . in.

contained however this is far from over taking on trump no we seek out. a comeback safety fears see the hospital in paris employing bodyguards to escort staff to their cars or public transport this follows a spike in attacks on medical workers since the start of the covert 900 and making fronts this is working at a hospital in the capital were filmed on saturday being accompanied by guards to take the train home garden or. 10 minute walk from the hospital but still the employees don't feel safe making the short journey alone 2. we just pulled over and

all i can now say that we get to go home in peace i'm afraid not to wondering whether we are going to be assaulted we saw the police teen aggressive people some colleagues have been assaulted it is happening more often because fewer people are allowed out onto the streets so after several incidents the hospital organized a security presence for us. it's the 1st time the protection like this has been put in place we have several colleagues who have been assaulted there are rumors that there is a drug addict near here who's to be dangerous 1st because a lot of the same gear which medics are giving to people in their work we hope to give to them by helping them by working for them and by helping them to get home safely. the u.s. chief medical officer has warned that this coming week could be the worst so. so far in the coven 19 outbreak as we mentioned earlier more than 1600 americans have died in this crisis and it's been

your bedside table for all these years and what about reviving your childhood dreams i was through a few phases i want to be a gardener a cyclist and i'm purse but what i you really wanted to be was a ballerina luckily my hours of excessive instagram scrolling have finally paid off because i came across the hash type dance with but surely a challenge for those going out of their mind self isolators who want to combine being in a lockdown with a cheeky pair what session with the masters. while in tribute to my younger self and quite frankly because i have literally nothing else to do i decided to give it a go. i

think i'll stick to the seats not the stage great news that all around the world theatres which are now just standing empty are giving you the chance to have a cultured evening without breaking many of those social distancing rules the met in new york is live streaming and night of the week the national theatre in london is bringing its favorites right to your screens even with a q. and a session afterwards and if a contortionist more you will thing than checkouts up to sunday's stream but if like me you've always dreamt of seeing one of the renowned performances at the theater right here in moscow but you don't have the time on the couch while then your in luck because it is digitally offering up some of its very spectacular up formants in. but speaking of perfect timing and just a couple of minutes the ballet marcus padley is going to start and while i still need to get ready

2. oh have you heard staying in is the new going out. now brings you right up to date who the released information on the pandemic from our studios in moscow london and also in washington stay right up to date with us here on r.t. . the slowness of. the moon. good news was before.

your producers to do it looser too stupid to move to do it because that is the girls who. are used to produce to your shoes through shoes shouldn't feel you should could do for the one who's doing. it. i don't trust medical authority at all ever and there isn't for that as i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet is not an issue without i mean a starters so my suggestion to people who have health issues. they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out

testing out diet testing out exercise and trying to figure out things on their own . the world is driven by shaped by. things. we fear to ask.
