thanks for joining us here with your global headlines update this is r.t. international. let's start with the latest figures in the code 900 pandemic the number of cases worldwide has now surpassed 1200000 the united states has the largest number of infections followed by spain and italy 69000 people have lost their lives 266000 have recovered. and. germany has accused the us of modern day piracy for allegedly seizing a plane load of respirators in thailand that was intended for berlin the us president this week invoked wartime powers to prevent other countries from getting hold of protective facemasks during the ongoing pandemic and donald trump defended the move. we need the masks we don't want other people getting and that's why we're

that's why we're instituting a lot of defense production act. he could call it retaliations because that's what it is it's a retaliation if people don't if people don't give us what we need for our people we're going to be very tough and we've been very tough usually we don't have to use it but we've used the plenty it's turning out more and more unfortunately and it works very well. the u.s. as the world's largest number of confirmed covert 900 cases now standing at 336009600 americans have died germany is also in the midst of a significant outbreak with more than 100000 cases into all of it has more on the battle to secure lifesaving supplies. there's a number of rail was brewing between the united states and its allies over the tactics used to procure protective equipment such as masks the re direction into

the united states while in bangkok airport of some 200000 masks that were supposed to be going from china to the berlin police or resulted in a pretty extreme reaction from a senior figure here in the german capital last week we consider it an act of modern piracy this is not the way to deal with transatlantic partners i urge the federal government to press the united states to comply with international rules over the weekend a different story emerged warn where the supply of 3 m. simply received a much better offer for those masks than the one that had been made by the berlin city government q a lot of criticism for officials here in berlin and the spokes person being pushed to the forefront to explain well we're looking into what happened we are in the process of clarifying the details we're now trying to find out how the order of production and delivery chain went and what exactly happened at the airport in

thailand the us president donald trump had taken the twitter last week to explain to 3 m. that they weren't to be sending their masks anywhere other than the united states we had 3 him hard today after seeing what they were doing with their masks big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing will have a big price to be as well as these german claims that the u.s. may have intercepted equipment canada is made similar allegations in fact prime minister justin trudeau. said that he'll be speaking with the u.s. president donald trump this coming week saying that such actions could harm both nations in the long run we are continuing to engage in constructive discussions with different levels within the administration to highlight that the u.s. will be hurting itself as much as candidate will be hurting if we see an interruption of essential goods and services flow back and forth across the border the british government is being stressing the importance of working together with

other nations when it comes to particular ring protective equipment for front line workers it's a team effort and a national mission to defeat an international pandemic but french officials say to us by is a flexing their financial muscles when it comes to snapping up the much sought after protective gear i found a stock of masks that was available and americans i'm not talking about the american government but americans are they offered 3 times the price and they proposed been upfront i can't 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 spot wallets and presidential to crease the companies over who they should sell their goods to how we hopes to make up for lost time feature all over r t berlin. in italy $15800.00 people have died

since the start of the outbreak that's the highest figure in the world the daily fatality rate has been slowing in recent days but funeral services in several provinces are still overwhelmed. we have received approximately $150.00 coffins and it's the 4th time that the army is going to collect them and take its operation centers all over northern italy.

in a moment talk to i you know today we're facing an absolutely extraordinary situation as the qana virus mortality rate here is very very high demand for confidence has multiplied by 5 to 8 times compared to what used to be normal yes. it is you know. so if you see in a hospital in paris employed bodyguards to school staff to their cars or public transport this follows a spike in a tax on medical workers since the start of the covert 19 pandemic in france the nurses working at a hospital in the capital were filmed on saturday being accompanied by guards to take trains home the guardian or station is just a 10 minute walk from the hospital but still employees don't feel safe making that short journey alone 2. just called so then i can now say that we get to go home in

peace i'm afraid not 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 clearly people i'll. around our time to the streets 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 last fall because in order to seem kiran which medics are given to people in their work or hope to give to them by helping them working for them and by helping them to get home safely. well most european countries are in some form of lockdown sweden has so far taken a more relaxed approach the authorities have advised the public to practice social distancing but primary schools bars and restaurants are still open and only gatherings of more than 50 people have been bound so we insist toll is now above

$400.00 with total cases standing at almost $7000.00 that is significantly higher than the nordic countries even taking into account sweden's larger population we asked locals what they think about the measures taken so far. i don't think that a quarantine it's needed like it. is really bad because. late to stop everybody here in europe with care of their image i don't go to a public place is 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 so much you people are like sitting close and it's like a pack of borel going there but. i don't really care. people everywhere so and even know it so yeah but you have to go home also so you need to you also need

to go after work so we have no choice. we also spoke to a swedish epidemiologist he says that the mild measures are based on the belief that people in sweden are more disciplined than in other countries obviously their mission is and they do here both or it is our differently but it's not only. the difference it's not only recounting the type of measurements whether it where it goes in its course in north or etc it has not been a christian peculiar guideline in terms of if forcible in terms of instructions as to how the population is should should behave there more to conditions there is no any punishment it's no any penalty for anyone not following their recommendations which are based in that notion that 3 people in sweden would be even more disciplined united countries or they would cover more trust or more

confidence in their authority sent and therefore it would be more willing to do photos are going to asians. the u.s. medical officer has warned that this coming week could be the worst so far in the cove of 19 outbreak as we mentioned earlier more than 1600 americans have died in the crisis and there has been a brutal economic impact with unemployment at its high since the great depression and i'm open reports. yes from coronavirus are setting records across the united states the new reality seems to be overloaded hospitals and morgues tents set up in central park and shortages of food and medicine but that's just part of the new reality workers are losing their jobs 10000000 are newly unemployed the red cross is now warning about a potential social bomb you few weeks so you will that we will expedience sierra in the western counties we have a lot of people movies eating. very marginalized. let me use

a warning day in the break in the so call of the nichol of the society she weeks to lead social programs he's a shell shock bomb that can explode in every moment the economy has been seriously wounded here and that means the expectations and psychology of both consumers and businesses this is not going to turn around very quickly people are going to say they're going to pay down debt they're not going to spend all this businesses are not going to turn around and hire everybody back you know in crises like this they find ways they're run you know even even more efficiently and they they won't call people back they did in a lot of small businesses won't be there to call people back and it's going to drag on for quite some time i believe as a result the american public is now in a scramble to buy gun searches for amma are now top online this is only the 2nd time in my 61 years of business that we've seen anything like they say we are

experiencing a massive rushed by guns and ammunition as people feel the need to protect themselves and their families and their fears are not entirely unfounded 5 were just busted in santa cruz for breaking into stores that were closed by coded 19 regulations this while the national guard has been deployed in all 50 states the situation with coronavirus is already grim but people say here at this point the worst could be yet to come well you know the police services and security services our firefighters and everything are really stressed out with this they're focusing a lot of their attention on you know correctly on on the health problems of this and aspects of this and you know that kind of gives an opening to people who people to take advantage of that you know not just street crime but the you know what about white collar crime you know what about the businesses that will scam these

slush funds that have been provided for corporations you know the. going to find ways to take advantage of it. you know let's not forget the white collar crime and not just the street crime but both will be a problem which is typical in the in periods of extreme stress like this. a u.n. official has called for urgent sanctions relief for low income country suffering from the cove in $1000.00 pandemic that echoes earlier warnings from the un human rights commissioner and secretary general of the un special rapporteur on the right to food war and sanctions of putting people at risk of starvation and singled out syria venezuela and iran as being in grave danger she told r.t. that if the restrictions continue to be enforced well it could amount to criminal activity. there are many countries already picked from regions and most of them are we could have a tank ship especially. here right now without systems that you know it

think and put just a mill beat material to get back on your students good example was there in china. when his young on the exterior is a commitment to action ignite explained because of. the human rights there while nations of other reasons the violation of the rights on the sanction building more serious down there and you. know it will be a kind of even criminal act hopefully this to get to the general cole really makes the impact on the u.s. government meeting. please the period of the koran the wives of. the british prime ministers and hospital with a high temperature 10 days after contracting corona virus will bring you that story and others after the break.

the world is driven by generous shaped by 7 percent of those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

a high temperature last week officials are denied reports the prime minister was seriously ill saying that there were no plans to put him in the hospital. care homes for the elderly in the u.k. say that they are running critically low on protective gear including masks and gloves and several bosses have threatened to resign if the government doesn't take action while producers of equipment are being accused of profiting from the situation according to one of britain's biggest care providers the cost of a prince has been hiked by 166 percent while musk prices are up more than 1000 percent another social care provider says that a box of gloves that used to cost $2.00 pounds the cost $8.00 and another supply reportedly tried to charge $179.00 pounds for and joe before the pandemic it would have been just 5 pounds larger are made executive chair of britain's national carrier told us quote 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 in charged this enormous. profit by the supply so i think it is in a pandemic likely 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 the old evil that we're looking after and not going to be impacted by the lack of he. the government says it has provided every home nationwide with 300 masks that form develops as it is working around the clock to provide the social care sector with the equipment that it needs or the head of britain's largest social care regulator says it's simply not enough. governments through enough to stop us proper tearing off our arms or we are going to have restrictions

has brought us time to learn new language to finally finish the book that's been lying on 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 really wanted to be was a ballerina luckily my hours of excessive instagram scrolling have finally paid off because i came across the hash tag 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 the night of the week the national theatre in london is bringing its favorites right to your screens even with a q. and a session after words and if a contortionist more you will thing than check out suck 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 most spectacular up formants and. 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 here is the new going out. here with all the latest information on the pandemic from our studios in moscow to learn that washington d.c. stave right up to date with r.t. . join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. humanity is on the edge of the precipice thanks to continuing destruction of the natural world. we just seem laid out a lot of bills lots of. losing myself and only if you. let them everything you can hold up. for but. i think that over the war. or the the bottom we're. dealing in the muslim world as a little book you sit around and stuff it and ship them see that disables the.

human activity has brought us to the brink of the world's 6th major extinction of it and the people in this film just come take it anymore. because the slowness of the mood of them so much. good you exclude local was before. much of those who heard the preview or most few other movies to see him with the north we will we'll. move. move. move show you the sneak preview of the live look i mean it's been a look or

a good. move from slum also his dulce will give you films for good girls. to go to shows a lot but look your simu belonging to the show the story should go. to start ups to hold also the 2 need to fill it with the little mist thanks to look it is it's. just testing understand just new it's the mashed old truck to stop the president and the speech from this project until it's. the 3 of producers to ghost whisperer to snap them up when you will because that is the cousin with you swear your supporters to your machine station shouldn't for you should cook door for one whose job is the request to.

your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to chill. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's quote. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace the should have. a terrible life between now and the.

so right now we're driving through both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. so this is jordan. this is the territory claimed by the green street crips during war time bonnie hunt is now less likely to come in here because there's one way and often one way out so once you come in and do a shooting you're trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so it's not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often they'll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke that's a lot of times when innocent people get shot. so in the next couple of days someone from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play.

or if you are. several months ago. a gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 hill was caught inside the gang territory of the village voice a couple of the village boys. went outside jumped on menace beat him down and stuck to mr ashby you. and. they took the trash here and brought him back behind another house and tortured him they sodomized him they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put at the end his chest the village voice. and then they continued to torture him then they wrapped him up in a rug burned and dumped him in long beach there's one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff that's that's just what gang members do so they found menace right around here beat him down put him in the trash can and then they will am. to this location here.

with a murder and assault them sodomized him and torture him. they're not concerned with people watching them commit crimes or being prosecuted because of that. they'll go after witnesses they'll intimidate them and if they have to the old even try to kill them you can see how they're marking up their neighborhood village voice. my personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the public's posed to exactly what these guys do. then everyone agrees that we don't want to in our neighborhood.
