here with your global news update you're watching r.t. international thanks for joining us. the latest figures on the covert 900 pandemic the number of cases worldwide has now passed 1300000 the united states has the largest number of infections followed by spain and italy 75000 people have lost their lives and 293000 have recovered. the british prime minister boris johnson has been moved to intensive care in a london hospital 11 days after contracting covert 19 official say that his condition has worsened although his exact state of health remains unclear and the foreign secretary dominic robb is taking charge temporarily. the prime minister's condition worsened and on the advice of the medical team who's moved in to

a critical care unit tonight a 32nd stances that prime minister asked me is for a secretary to take for him when necessary carstensen has had carved one toodle tested positive for it by a little over 10 days ago and for the majority of about a week and a half he was in downing street south isolating the end of last week he began to show continued to show symptoms i'm sure not reason on sunday evening rob 8 pm he was taken to some thomas hospital which is moxy far from. town in the us and the houses of parliament. and the streets is that now with the initiative that overnight he was told. the government would try to keep the media briefing obviously so what about the projects that the night feeds off that they said to be ok but last night they said it's critical to say about its condition but more

serious something that's on has even been sued in intensive care unit now the prime minister just a few weeks ago was speaking about this crisis and. really revealed something which in hindsight is quite shocking and might give an insight into what's taking place i'm shaking hands can decide that i was a whole school the other night where i think there were a few that are actually if you credit are as a patient and i shook hands with everybody you'll be pleased to know that i continue to shake hands so it's not clear exactly how the prime minister was constructed this disease but it's definitely as i mentioned taken it's still the westies now in intensive care it's unclear exactly what the base is just for sure because the government's out of reach john the next stop probably was the cause why did it difficult to free in any case you see. but.

for. many. for believe it or not. we should use ours but most aren't so all eyes will be on. the. front. cover 90 pandemic has highlighted the crucial role of the world health organization which today marks its 72nd anniversary more than 70 countries have joined the w h o's trial program to find effective treatments for covert 19 and the body is coordinating the global race to find a vaccine w.h.o. representative to russia spoke to us about the challenges facing frontline medics. the americans and the device are in the center in the very at the center of the fight against coverage not only fighting against the coronavirus but also maintaining all other health services which are necessarily going. on growing

record ducting hout needs of the planet are not the new machine and they have to be maintained rhyolite the same time we are seeing that also many devices pregnant women are getting in fact id but births go wrong unlike h one n one the spine influence of which was killing pregnant women directly here fortunately we are not seeing this trend but nevertheless caution is really needed . the epidemic does not have a life of its only people can change it and this is the critical. this is why russia has been searching to see spared for a many weeks because the measures taken were all very good obviously at some point we had a group of unrecognized contacts which always can happen but this is now being

dealt with russia has increased its testing to 61000 of test for a day so this will enable really identified not only people who are sick or dare immediate contacts but also to identify potential carriers of people who are completely healthy but have been in contact and also there is a possibility opened up to do testing requests so people who may think that there have been in contact somewhere but cannot really put their finger on it also be able to test that is by and large going to enhance our knowledge about their virus is finding its hidden ways through the population and really insist on social distancing isolation treatment of those who need treatment so do. interrupt the transmission i think that that's the secret of russia development and i think this is exactly what the strategy is about. this is a precious time to learn and to reinstate some critical

principles and human values but there are also programs coming into place to assist to support our to actually give more science into this time together and really use it badly not just the certain way that it passes but really use the time and every moment that we can be together to cherish our each other and to really be productive in this new i would say world that we're seeing today. russia has almost 7 and a half 1000 confirmed cases of covert 92 thirds of them are here in moscow the chief doctor of the main hospital treating coronavirus patients tested positive himself last week but he remains on judy marty crew went to the facility. all right let's have a look at the patient this patient has tested positive for cope with 19 wasn't a viral treatment so you give him it's calyptra hasn't been effective it has sort of the fever has gone how will these really he's 38 when we received the 1st group

of patients and started analyzing the cases we were shocked i understand because all of them were under they expect the bache yes but you were going to thank you so much guys for your work thank you. the night between april the 1st and 2nd it took us just a few hours to organize the clinic it was emotionally draining. i wanted to make my own contribution to the fight against the pandemic i wanted to help the doctors. i volunteered because i saw the to help was greatly needed there is a shortage of medical staff when i go home i started thinking i should have stayed longer which. was how long do you usually wear this protective suit. the longest time was 6 hours but you get used to it. here the worst case is here. these ports indicate

a low intensity. is this how viral pneumonia yes the way he takes care isn't dangerous for the person but what is frightening is that it might be contagious. are you scared of working here you know why what's the point of being scared it won't change anything should it just hope coming to work. the u.s. death toll from covert nineteen's now approaching 11000 new york is by far the worst hit state with nearly 5000 fatalities governor other cuomo has described the situation as being frightening and disturbing auntie's trinity chavis reports. today the javits center now america's largest hospital officially taking coronavirus patients. originally dedicated to non kovan 1000 patients now 2500 bed

facility is staffed with over a 1000 doctors nurses and other medical staff to help care for the drastic influx of infected patients governor andrew cuomo reporting the total number of confirmed cases in new york now surpasses 130000 with over 4700 confirmed deaths nearly 3000 new cases in new york city alone overnight it's very hard to see the number of deaths we're having. it's frightening it's disturbing that amount of loss the undeniable truth here is that this virus is a deadly enemy and we will lose and we are losing people who are vulnerable to the virus many overflowing facilities having to store bodies of virus victims in street trailers this as officials warn they may begin burying the city's code in 1000 dead in local parks but i'm not going to go into those kind of details i'm only going to say we will have the

capacity need we need as i said over the weekend we met a way we may well be dealing with temporary burials. so we can then deal with each family later but again i'm just not going to detail when we have something to say oh we will doctors and nurses around new york city sounding the alarm demanding additional protective measures and much needed personal protective equipment as they remain on the front lines we are demanding that we get all the hoarded supplies that exists a p.b.s. so that we can protect ourselves our families and our beloved patients and communities we can't do it if we're dead every day when i go to work i feel like a sheep going to slaughter my colleagues and i are. having our last will and testament i'm 28 years old we fear that we may not survive this pandemic and yet we show up every day to this hospital to take care of our community while officials

say they have enough and 95 masks to last through the week the mayor says that the city still needs p.p. ease because hospitals are at risk of running out to be a tough week people have to be careful and conserve on the crisis standards we're working on. meantime the governor is also calling on local governments to crack down on social distancing violators increasing violation fines from $500.00 to a $1000.00 and i want to be frankly more aggressive on the enforcement because all the anecdotal evidence is people are violating it a higher rate than before while the governor is extending new york's pause once again this time until at least april 29th the state posted its 1st drop in daily deaths suggesting that social distancing is working and flattening the curve reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . most european countries are on the lockdown because of the coronavirus couple living on either side of the german border found themselves cut off from

each other but it hasn't stopped them from keeping their relationship alive. i think i mean we can't be apart she can't sleep neither can i we call one another at least 3 to 4 times a day and even at night. and i'm writing in my. saturday outflank that mother gets to have that time of slower when you're sitting her menards but it is what it is then we can change that whenever so we would leave her something like that.

for us there are no borders we're seeing each other and we're holding on to ways and it doesn't matter if it rates if it's windy as we sit here every day and we'll keep doing it until the board is so good. at it i never thought in my life that i can be this much in love when i'm 89. so to come will look at some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories over the coronavirus pandemic coming up after the break.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being. direct. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. what

is the difference between embarrassing gaffes and elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the victim of the latter we are told mention of mental health is off limits to what degree is the public the right to know. welcome back covert 19 is provided fertile ground for conspiracy theories on of the most popular ones doing the rounds on social media is that the virus is being spread by chinese 5 g. technology and in the u.k. some people have even started to fight back by setting fire to 5 g. cell towers the government's done the theories is dangerous nonsense on the shoddy advice dashti reports from london. as the corona virus spreads around the world getting accurate information about the disease becomes ever more important but as waves of new cases continue to pop pop so to a covert 19 conspiracies the latest one being that there is

a link between 5 key in the virus so much so people are now setting fire to 5 g. must across the united kingdom. with a world in lockdown in the social media age there's a heavy reliance on the internet which is becoming a breeding ground for those wanting to spread conspiracy theories since the beginning of the year a series of fake news posts have surfaced online and scrolling on any web form or platform you'll quickly come across that thing crude both yours and phones prevention measures rumors of scheming geopolitical plots the virus as a private school weapon even an experiment gone wrong but one of the most prominent is linking 5 key to corona virus and the box hysteria has pushed the world health

organization to intervene and to even declare it. to be high demand for timely and trustworthy information about 19. technical risk communication and social media teams have been working closely to track and respond to myths and groups. some serious believe that 5 g. is the root of the global corona virus outbreak because they claim it systematically breaks down the immune system on top of that a viral post claim that the technology originated and who had the very same chinese city at the heart of the initial outbreak of covert 19 off the comprehensive analysis though the claim was debunked by fact checking organizations in january not to mention that of radiation watchdog found no scientific evidence that 5 g. post. a threat to the human health system while it's widely accepted knowledge but by experts that the virus came from a natural animal source but even with 5 g. being found to be safe the number of mass targeted by vandals has increased sadly

we have experienced cases of vandals setting fire to mobile masts disrupting critical infrastructure and spreading false information suggesting a connection between 5 g. and the covert 1000 pandemic there is no scientific evidence of any link between 5 g. and corona virus and despite the scientific evidence some celebrities are even jumping on this 5 the misinformation bandwagon a lot of my friends have been talking about the negative effect of 5 g. though i haven't fully verted i find it very interesting i don't think 5 g. gives you call that 19 i've seen good can confuse slow the body down in human process. doctors in the world health organization ask governments to halt roll out of 5 g. so you know to 5 g. and the fight against misleading information is taking us a real turn the u.k. is communications regulator ofcom was even forced to intervene and punish a community radio station for broadcasting unfounded claims about the roll out of 5

g. with the government even stepping in to denounce the so-called fake news as dangerous not only point but the most thank you again for mentioning. the story so good about that they play a role in the spread of the disease that's just. dangerous nonsense as well but considering the government has advised the public to stay at home the internet has unsurprisingly been relied on like never before meaning separating fact from fiction especially when it comes to the link between 5 g. and coronavirus is vital but there's no doubting the tenuous connection has for some people across the united kingdom to disconnect from their technology try to edit stache the r.t. london. there are also plenty of false allegations circulating in the united states over china's alleged role in the crisis china seems to have the situation under control with no new coronavirus registered in the past 24 hours but some u.s.

politicians are saying beijing should not be trusted. more can expect. the u.s. surgeon general says that the worst of the pandemic is still ahead invoked memories of dramatic events from u.s. history this is going to be our pearl harbor moment on $911.00 moment only it's not going to be localized it's going to be happening all over the country and i want to merica to understand that usaid is now the country that's the hardest hit no doubt about the outing and some pretty big mistakes were made while the clock was ticking here's a list that some of the experts made about what went wrong mistake number one back in january the u.s. centers for disease control refused tests from germany and thus lost crucial time even now not everyone has access to tests it's hard to track who is infected. we know that it is an underestimation. mistake number 2 the u.s.

government miscalculated thought it had proper supplies and resources right up to the last minute we had tremendous numbers of ventilators but there's never been an instance like this where no matter what you have it's not enough mistake number 3 us states have been left to manage the crisis on their own support from the federal government has been weak we have a state emergency management agency but if he were right why would we ever need a federal emergency management agency it's because individual states can't possibly do what the federal government can do but it's always easier to blame someone else now got us officials saying that china has it information the world health organization a recent intelligence community report confirms that dissent from ation began as early as november when it misreported the seriousness of the disease based on chinese reports there was an outbreak of a serious a but not communicable disease that was easily contained and will harden the chinese government's early handling of the disease and failure to adequately report

information to the w.h.o. breached article $6.00 and $7.00 of the international health regulations at treaty to which china is signatory and legally obliged to uphold these breaches allowed the outbreak to rep at least spread outside will han its pleas of origin the chinese nonetheless have been lying to started if the chinese had been honest from day one if they had talked about how serious this was then the flight bans would have started much sooner travel would have been restricted much sooner and the world could have really prepared for this and we weren't and so now we're suffering and we're losing american lives and the u.k. has also signed onto the plan to blame china a british think tank recommended an international lawsuit saying that up to 4 trillion dollars could be paid by china to just g 7 countries and that's after a 20 trillion dollar lawsuit from some american firms meanwhile it should be pointed out that china is sending. medical personnel to europe right now and

supplies. and it's sending supplies to the us to fight the coronavirus so it out to me in the e.u. and the us should be grateful to china instead of. inciting more hostility the world health organization is also being accused of covering up for china reevaluation of world health organization leadership is urgently cooled for by consistently bending to the chinese communist party from downplaying the severity of the coronavirus to systematically excluding taiwan it is lost the credibility necessary to be effective will tell organization is supposed to fight disease is not tyrants in the middle of a public health crisis but off the americans be this far as we need to have a serious reckoning with the world health organization but why would they do that it's a pretty serious allegation to make against a bydel international body that knows so much important work the us is very proud

not to take responsibility for its own failures as the us prides itself on being number one the best in everything and so when it fail so miserably as it has in this crisis it looks for a scapegoat and this in this case it is chosen to blame china we have an election in november and the trumpet ministration is deathly afraid that if they get properly blamed for their failings the trump lives i mean it's really as simple as that and so they're trying to defend elect plane by calling this the china of iris and blaming china and it's absurd and it's just graceful the spread of the coronavirus isn't really anyone's fault every country wishes it had been better prepared especially the united states which is now the worst here but instead of trying to learn from their own mistakes u.s. leaders have decided. fingers. are. the

pandemic continues rest assured we have are here for you with all the latest information bring you coverage on our website that's 90 dot com and all the usual social media channels plus of course our round the clock live broadcasts make made from our studios here in moscow as well as in london and washington d.c. so do stay informed and stay with. bank's geysers financial survival hill they say most of the relatives are going to take it easy this is essential public support diaghilev this kind of problem right now they stopped.
