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 a plenty it's turning out more and more unfortunately and it works very well. united states has the world's largest number of confirmed covert 9000 cases it now stands at 336009600 americans died germany is also in the midst of a significant outbreak with more than 100000 cases it's rather has more on the battle to secure lifesaving supplies. there's a number of rallies brewing between the united states and its allies over the tactics used to procure protective equipment such as masks the re direction into

thailand the u.s. 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 has 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 a 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 procure 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 they're 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 outbid us 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 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. and italy $15800.00 people have died since the

start of the outbreak that is the highest figure anywhere in the world the mortality rate has been slowing in recent days the funeral services in several provinces have been overwhelmed. number money to cuba we have received approximately $150.00 coffins and used for time that the army is going to collect them and take its operation centers all over northern italy came to be.

in a moment dr why you know today we are 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 you have seen a hospital in paris employed bodyguards to escort stuff to their cars or public transport that follows a spike in attacks on medical workers since the start of the coven again pandemic in france nurses working at a hospital in the capital were filmed on saturday being a company by gods to take the trains home to the garden or station it's just a 10 minute walk from the hospital and yet still employees didn't feel safe making the short journey like. 2 for just called herself and all 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 dean 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. sit up on your phone 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 is a bit dangerous that's false because a lot of the same gear which medics are giving to people and their work will help to give to them by helping them by working for them and by helping them to get home safely. while most european countries are in some form of lock down sweep for taking a relaxed approach. sorties of advise the public to practice distancing but primary schools bars and restaurants still remain open and only gatherings of more than 50

people have been banned sweden's death toll is now above $400.00 with total cases then they get almost 7000 and that is significantly higher than other nordic countries even taking into account sweden's larger population we asked locals there what they think about the measures taken to date. i don't think that a quarantine it's needed no. i guess it's really bad because we need to. lead to stop everybody here in europe with the care of their image i don't go to a public 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 people are like sitting close and it's like a pack of burrill going there but. i don't really care. people over so and be even know it so yeah but you have to go home also so you need to you also

need to go to work so we have no choice. we spoke to a swedish epidemiologist who says the mild measures are based on the belief that people in sweden are more disciplined than in other countries. you have to observe whether that degree of comfort is such really a sweeter son of the people is acting according to a stick of indonesian and we're not seeing that completely we see that after those recommendations of not travelling for instance people continued travelling to commendation of stay at home people continue breaking those recommendations because they're not specifically rules there is no any punishment it's no any penalty for in one not following their recommendations which are basically in that notion that 3 people in sweden would be even more 'd disciplined the united countries or they would have more trust or more confidence in their authority is and and therefore it

would be more willing to do photos are going to asians. the u.s. chief medical officer has warned that this coming week could be the worst so far in the cove in 1000 outbreak as we mentioned earlier more than 1600 americans have already died in the crisis and there has been a brutal economic impact with unemployment at its highest since the great depression on the scale of more than explains deaths from coronavirus or 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 $10000000.00 are newly unemployed the red cross is now warning about a potential social bomb you few weeks say 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 shoe weeks when we 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 for us to buy guns and ammunition yes 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 yes while the national guard has been deployed in all 50 states the situation with coronavirus is already grim but people see 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 so 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 countries suffering from the covert 19 and make it echoes earlier warnings from the un human rights commissioner and secretary general the un special rapporteur on the right to food swarmed sanctions are putting people at risk of starvation a lot of singled out syria venezuela and iran is being in grave danger she told r.t. that if the restrictions continue to be enforced it could amount to criminal activity . there are many countries already picked up from new jersey and most of them are we could have chang actions especially it's very severe right now in health systems that you're eating and goods is the milk needed to really every

attack really is eunice good example because china. when is germany is on its ear it's a contraction. because of her human rights there by ovations or other reason or the violation of the right on there to thank shan will be more serious down there and you. know it will be a kind o. ur even criminal act hopefully this to get to you general call will make. an impact on the u.s. government nothing. thanks please the period of the coroner wives. britain's prime minister is in hospital with a high temperature 10 days after the contract of corona virus will bring in the full story after the break.

i don't trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible water i mean just sort of 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 has nothing to do with autoimmune disorders 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 and they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own.

joined me everything goes a little excitement and i'll be speaking to get a little bit olympics school those lives i'm sure i'll see you that. your government are good for them all the other major governments of the world know what's going to them and when it's going to. but they haven't told you they haven't told me. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal

waves earthquakes volcanoes are going to read it and it's going to chill. so we're in for a while. right. my great grandfather's quote. nobody would care about the war prison. walls of. a terrible life between the. back britain's prime minister boris johnson was taken to hospital on sunday 10 days after he tested positive for covert 19 and he reportedly spend the night in an n.h.s. facility down a street says it's just a precautionary measure in that johnson is suffering persistent symptoms including 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 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 buses have threatened to even resign if the government doesn't take action meanwhile 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 masked prices are up more than 1000 percent and the social care provider says a box of gloves that used to cost $2.00 pounds no costs $8.00 and another supplier reportedly tried to charge $179.00 pounds for and gel prior to the pandemic it would have cost just 5 pounds went executive chair of britain's national carrier says asian 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 april to purchase it

and when they are purchasing it they're being charged this enormous. profit by the supply so i think it's 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 the evil that we're looking after and not going to be impacted by the lack of the p. . the government says that it's provided every home nationwide with 300 masks and the department of health says that it's working around the clock to provide the social care sector with equipment it needs however the head of britain's largest social care regulator says that's simply not enough. i don't think the governments there enough troops to stop us proper tearing off our arms or we are going to have

restrictions for employers very. efficient no. p.p.t. here from them but what they're arguing merits it's not enough that's not for me for i don't think the government was prepared for that or those funds. released from the from 2014 are you particularly serious or here we are not our intranet source of personal marched from other various areas so i can't get from our suppliers nonpermanent origins. has millions of people confined to their homes demand for entertainments never been higher and theaters and operas are being going on line some are streaming their place doing live q. and a sessions even offering online classes taylor has more. quarantine has made all wild smaller as we shuffle between the bedroom the bathroom and the kitchen but it has

from london we're going underground as a covert positive boris johnson struggles to get hold of basic protection for doctors in a pandemic response characterized by washington as catastrophic coming up on the show just as a taxpayer stepped in to help the banks back in 2008 we will work with the banks to do everything they can to repay that fever and support the businesses and people of the united kingdom in their time and do even the british government's daily press briefings on coronavirus revealing moral bankruptcy of capitalism we talked to the president of the u.k. faculty of public health who use that phrase to characterize the response to a previous epidemic as the tory government stands accused even by

a tory. media and lethal incompetence disinfo mation and lies and will coronavirus destroy sleepy joe biden's chances of beating donald trump while the antibodies found his democrat establishment threatens to risk their lives rather than perspire on tomorrow's wisconsin primary we trace how today's politics has shaped from beyond the biosphere and how november's election could be determined by an ancient american seen all of the more coming up in today's going underground a 1st after the u.s. a medically supported by the russian military slammed boris johnson's response to the coronavirus pandemic britain faces the prospect of millions now infected because the prime minister has aborted a herd immunity policy for more let's go straight to the former president of the u.k. faculty of public health professor john ashton who joins me now via skype from denton the yorkshire dales john thanks so much for coming on so jump officials have used the lack of ventilators to a contrast to other countries responses to coronavirus this week we're supposed to

get 30 new ventilators manufactured with much trumpeting by i must say these and mclaren will they make a big difference to what we're facing here in britain i'm afraid their desperate shortage of ventilators has to be considered alongside the failure to test the shortage of p.c.r. machines i understand slopes. the personal protective equipment and i also understand that there's now an emerging issue about oxygen supplies full ventilating people even if we have the ventilator so. this all goes back to the failure to get a grip on this emergency right at the beginning when it became apparent that something was happening very serious at the end of january beginning of february when the prime minister failed to convene and share kerber of the emergency committee for governments because what should have happened at that point was to

take stock to get the right. people around the table not just a narrow segment of science and to look and say what was likely to be coming down the track if they don't or they would have put systematic testing in place they would have ordered all the stuff that we're not short of and they would have realized that in order to take the public with you on this journey into the under. this rich real restrictions on freedom in a liberal democracy that they would have to be open and transparent and all these things they failed to do so we're in a really bad place as the numbers of deaths are now climbing very steeply and will continue to do so over the next few weeks what you say are all that bad or a stronger officers briefing that the reason maybe we didn't get the information was that china was giving us disinfo mation that china has be their big factor here

and will face a reckoning they could be concerned a pariah state is nothing about your ventilator numbers and lack of oxygen today this is the fault of beijing seems to me what's coming out of downing street i think it's very sad that we've reached a situation where the failures of our own governments are being just ignored and not learnt from the lessons learnt from and rather hitting out in all directions that i think at the very beginning of this it seems as though the chinese les have been slow to recall what was going on the numbers initially from december and january may not have been reliable but more recently and particularly since the world health organization became involved with china the charities have been demonstrating really quite extraordinary leadership they've been sharing our line globally all their treatment protocol xolair lessons learned if only we would wake up and listen to what's been going on elsewhere and copy best practice that's the

way they've been behaving.
