in elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the big name of the latter we are told mention of mental health is off limits to what degree is the public the right to know. british prime minister boris johnson is in intensive care 11 days after falling sick with corona virus the foreign secretary is taking over his duties. the world health organization marks 72 years since it was founded the w.h.o. representative to russia spoke to us about the global effort to overcome the pandemic. the epidemic does not have a life of its own a leap people can change it and this is the critical moment. when the couple in their eighty's keep their romance alive through the lockdown despite being separated by the german danish border we bring you their story.

rather thanks for joining us here with your global news update this is r.t. international. well it starts with the latest figures on the covert 900 pandemic the number of cases worldwide now has passed 1307600 people have lost their lives the u.s. has the largest number of infections followed by spain and italy but china has reported 0 daily deaths for the 1st time since january. let's start with news of the british prime minister who is in a stable condition in intensive care 11 days after falling sick the coronavirus according to downing street boris johnson does not have pneumonia and is not on a ventilator but he has received oxygen treatment the foreign secretary dominic

robb has taken charge temporarily. the prime minister's condition worsened and on the advice of the medical team has moved in to a critical care unit so in light of those circumstances the prime minister asked me as 1st secretary to support him when necessary boris johnson has had caused by toodle tested positive for it but a little over 10 days ago and for the majority of the week and a half he was downing street south isolates in the end of last week he began to show continue to show symptoms i'm sure not reason on sunday evening rob 8 pm he was taken to some thomas hospital which is booked to be far from where sound is where the house the father. is there would be initially when there overnight he was told. the government would come to the media briefing obviously so what about the fact that the night. that they were said to be ok but last

night they took it for the worst of it became clear that its condition with more serious damage being left on as he had been moved to an 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 that might give that insight into what's taking place and i'm shaking hands can decide that i was at a hospital the other night where i think there were a few the rush if you create a virus a patient and i should. and everybody you'll be pleased to know that i continued to shake hands so it's not clear exactly how far the stock was tracked to this disease but it's definitely as i mentioned taken for the worst he's now in intensive care it's unclear exactly whether this is just a book or should because the government have breached the list stopped probably was

the cause why do you get difficult to part in any case you see all across the place from his fellow so to. speak with such as outgoing labor leader or former labor leader in our should be all wishing the file use well as does most of the crowd so all eyes will be on promise of the hope for. the 90 pandemic is highlighted the crucial role of the world health organization which today's marking 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 bodies coordinating the global race to find a vaccine w.h.o. representative to russia spoke to us about the challenges facing front line medics . the americas and midwives are in the center in the very

epicenter of the fight against coverage not only fighting against the corona virus but also maintaining all other health services which are necessarily going. on going record doctor house needs of the planet are not the initiating and they have to be maintained rhyolite the same time we are seeing that also midwives pregnant women are getting in fact it 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 it so we 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 on 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 $61000.00 of tests per 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 device 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's that's the secret of russia i

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 sense 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 here in moscow the chief doctor of the main hospital treating coronavirus patients tested positive himself last week but remains on judy 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 are you giving him it's calyptra has it been effective it has the fever has gone how will the 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 want 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 contributions to the fight against the pandemic i wanted to help the doctors. and volunteers because i saw the to my house was greatly needed there is a shortage of medical stuff when i go home i start thinking i should have stayed longer.

what do you usually wear as a protective suit of great britain the longest time was 6 hours you get used to it . the worst case is. the sports indicator low intensity. is this how viral pneumonia yes the way he thinks there isn't dangerous for the person but what is frightening is actually might be contagious. are you scared of working here why what's the point is being scared it won't change anything should i just hope coming to work. the u.s. death toll from covert 19 is now approaching 11000 new york is by far the worst hit state with nearly 5000 fatalities governor andrew cuomo has described the situation a frightening and disturbing trinity chavis reports. today the javits center now

america's largest hospital officially taking coronavirus patients. originally dedicated to non kovan 1000 patients the 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 hornet supplies that exists a p.p.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. i think 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 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 at a higher rate than before while the governor's 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 lock down because of the crown

a virus of all the old early couple living on either side of the danish german border have found themselves cut off from each other but it hasn't stopped them keeping their relationship alive. i mean we can't be a part she can't sleep nor they can only we call one another at least $3.00 to $4.00 times a day and even at night. the man you're my mama. decides we have now slang 500 cows to have that time of snow when you're 16 but it is what it is and we can't change that. we never saw we would leave for something like that

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

join me every thursday on the alex salmond feel and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you there. provided fertile ground for conspiracy theories one 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 fighting back setting fire to 5 g. cell towers the governments condemn the theories as dangerous nonsense i see shoddy address 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 cover 1000 conspiracies the latest one thing 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 to support any of the year a series of fake news posts have surfaced online and scrolling on any web form or platform will quickly come across that being crude both yours and foes prevention measures rumors of scheming geopolitical plots the virus 2 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 viral post claim that the technology originated 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 'd scientific evidence that 5 g. . pose a threat to the human health system while it's widely accepted knowledge back 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 destruction 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 g. 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 seem to can confuse slow the body down in human process. doctors in the world health organization as governments to halt roll out of 5 g. . g. and the fight against misleading information is taking a surreal turn the u.k.'s 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. this story sort of got about but 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 current a virus is vital but there's no doubting the tenuous connection has for some people across the united kingdom to disconnect from their technology so i don't stash d r t london. well there are also plenty of false allegations circulating in the united states over china's alleged role in the crisis china now seems to have the

situation under control with no new coronavirus deaths registered there in the past 24 hours but some u.s. politicians are saying beijing shouldn't be trusted on the scale of more pain reports. 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 us 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 hodgman 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 blaze of origin the chinese nonetheless have been lying since the started if the chinese had been honest from day one if they had talked about how serious this was in the flight bans would have started much sooner travel would have been restricted much sooner and the world could have been 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 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 you know shimmying that you in the u.s. 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 allegations and make against a bydel international body that does so much important work the us is very proud not to take responsibility for its own failures the u.s. 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 at all receivers 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 elected 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 has it had been better prepared especially the united states which is now the worst hit but instead

of trying to learn from their own mistakes u.s. leaders have decided to point fingers it would mop and. new york. there's the current virus pandemic continues we at r.t. are here for you with all the very latest information bringing you coverage on our website that's mighty dot com as well as on the various forms of social media but of course it is a dish and round the clock live broadcasts from our studios around the world so that wraps it up here for us in moscow time to hand over to our london office our 2 u.k. will bring you up to date at the top of the. i'm

going to fulfill the repeated promises ok politics to the people i promise to be you know we've all pots to. be a. pretty. pretty good group. now you want to 1st correct that. i'm no. longer. paul the. big.

humanity is on the edge of the precipice thanks to continuing destruction of the natural world. you just seem laid out a lot of gives us a clue you could losing the election from the age of. the people who. must come out being. the band you. got on with the war. or that the problem with. dealing in the muslim world stems same people both in. ship them through 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 can't take it anymore. this is a murder that was caught on video the murder was committed by the great street crips it was an in-house murder meaning that a street kripke killed another great street crips oftentimes gang members killed by cold and one of the code says to never commit crimes against your own gang members in this particular scenario or murder investigation there was a. transplant that was a narcotics user he went to purchase narcotics from 3 crew members on the narcotics was either bad or he was somehow slighted on it as a result he went to another great street cred gang member in got a gun with

a gun the transience shot and killed a street gang member at the time of the shooting there was another great street gang member with each person that was killed the victim of the murder and according to the game code he asked to make amends for allowing a gang member to be killed on his own watch. if he doesn't act or take. some sort of action against the shooter then he will be disciplined by his own gang so. on this scenario that particular crips gang member. carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is inside jordan downs it's midday and you can see there's about 10 to 15 gang members floating in the parking lot. just going about their daily business. is the group here of the

game members several of them loitering.
