dangerous of criminals she's innocent of. all the off 23 hours of the tell me that is long enough and is. world of women on death row. in the headlines this hour russia sees a 15 percent surge 19 cases it brings the overall total to more than $10000.00. in italy doctors have slammed the government for failing to provide protective gear and hospitals after a surge in infections among frontline medics. elsewhere funeral services in ecuador run out of coffins is the curve of 19 death toll mounts the government admits that the crisis is far worse than official figures suggest we

hear from a doctor there in the country. more than 40 health workers have died in the doctors and nurses this is hidden from the public. come here with your global news update this is r.t. international. and we will start with the latest figures on the covert 900 pandemic the number of cases worldwide has now surpassed 1508800 people have lost their lives in the states has the largest number of infections is followed by spain and italy world wide 330000 people have recovered from the disease.

in russia the number of confirmed covered 19 cases has passed 10001400 new infections have been registered in just the past 24 hours most of them right here in moscow so it's a start of the outbreak a total of $76.00 people have died so brings us the latest. well in his recent addresses to the nation flaten akutan did say that neither globally nor in russia has the peak of the coronavirus pandemic past and it seems that today's late because do support that overnight russia has registered 1459 new case says that its highest daily rise and a considerable increase in what we saw just even 8 days ago that brings the total number of infected people throughout the country to around 10000 in the current death toll stands at 76 on a more positive note russia is being very active in terms of testing so far around 1000000 tests have been conducted now on wednesday the russian president spoke for

a couple of minutes in a televised conference meeting with regional authorities and he touched of course upon the cope of 1000 pandemic that he essentially compared to his medics on the front line of the quite korean fires with soldiers on a roof front and he said that kind of selfless behavior of course had been awarded so to that end he announced an increase in the salary for all nurses for all doctors will ambulance drivers relief or medical stop and that salary bump is going to last for around 3 months which perhaps gives us an indication of the kind of timeline that russia in visit has in its battle with coke at 19 now as is often the case if the capital city has the most densely populated region in any country that is bearing the brunt and deep market accounts for around 60 percent of all that 19 cases but that appear to warrant that all reach. strout rushes past her she must be

prepared for potential increases she says and so get ahead of the curve and ensure that all medical facilities are ready let's listen in national news or that i will start with an overriding priority common to all regions i mean improving the red in this of the medical institutions and considerably increasing their resources and capabilities it is an unquestionable priority no hopefully we will not need all the reserves and additional capacities that are being created in the health care system but now we must be ready to fight for the life of every person in every region which will but graduate we can deduce to say that they are looking very chatty at the other patents of the hate yet in other countries in russia we are not in a lockdown as cautious strict as not the european nations but we have been advised of course and requested to sit at home insult isolations that either way whichever way we're acting you need to understand that the next few weeks of the most crucial

and let's listen to exactly what was said on that issue of this which you only speaks at least to me as you know yesterday i met with some scientists epidemiologists where carefully studying the experience of other countries that are also facing the coronavirus threats and we see that the 1st 4 to 5 weeks from the start of the epidemic are the most difficult this means that the next 2 or 3 weeks will be decisive for the development of our situation this is the period when we should fully concentrate our resources strictly comply with the recommendations of doctors and the preventive measures that are being introduced in every region today the russian leader finished off by saying that russia has undergone serious trials because he made reference to several historical moments in battles yet he said they had all been beaten all these problems had been overcome and coronavirus he said will be no different to that she finished up very strongly. italy has the highest death toll from covenanting with more than. 17000 lives lost in front

line medics are risking their lives with a severe shortage of protective equipment many even taking to the streets urging the government to step in. explains. on the front line of this war against kuwait 19 are health workers doctors nurses all putting themselves in danger to care for those most in need but they too are being infected at this hospital in narrow one doctor describes what it was like being treated the coronavirus. it's been a very hard experience very educational drama for me was to have full knowledge of the risk of being connected to the tubes because i perfectly understood the events happening since the outbreak last year more than 3000 health workers across the world have been infected with the disease at least 100 have lost their lives

we believe that the lack of p p and the problems of supply is undoubtedly linked to the high injection rage and some of the deaths we have seen as well the world health organization has warned that there has been an alarming failure in the global supply of protective clothing match that to the precedented workload linked to global stock shortages and this highlights just how vulnerable health workers oh yes despite this some medical staff are still working without proper protection in the u.k. this nurse quit her job after being told that she couldn't wear a mask up on arriving to work while still wearing a mask you asked me for a bird in your office you outlined to me that wearing a mask wasn't following the truss policy and asked me to remove it. to the request later that day while staking blood from one of our patients. they accidentally

coughed in my face i told you what had just happened however uniform i will still unable to wear my mask the problems are not confined to one country lack of medical kit just being almost universal some stuff of even taken to making their own improvised mosques from things like snorkels or using school science googles all in a bid to protect themselves worried workers fearing for their lives have taken to the streets in protest. protective clothing face masks goggles is the very least medical workers expect and should have access to these are the men and the women carrying out their duties in an unprecedented medical emergency we can cut for them every night we can

offer them discounts in shops and though all of this is well meant what they really need to have is access to the basic equipment to help keep them safe but really what it is but you could problem of a lack of protective individual gear is also a problem on the institutional level and this is something that was caused by the tsunami of cases which hit us which overwhelmed things when we found ourselves in a state of war with insufficient weaponry and in particular with a reduced number of masks after a while these masks are becoming available now alternatively instead of a surgical mask the population could wear a scarf or something to reduce the emission of droplets surely there would be a less efficient alternative to a surgical mask but it's useable it should motivate us to continue with this social distancing. euro zone finance ministers will resume the. talks on thursday

ended agreeing a stimulus plan earlier in the week they failed to strike a deal after 16 hours of discussion italy france and spain are the 3 countries worst hit by the pandemic they're pushing for a stimulus based on joint the debt nicknamed corona bonds other countries have resisted such an idea they say that each country should be responsible for its own debt include germany austria and the netherlands spain says that the bloc needs to look at the core principles that underline the european union we need the help of other countries and that's why the european community was originally formed at the time after a physical war now we are fighting a war against an epidemic. and then she consulted amy wilson believes that italy and spain have good reason to be frustrated by the lack of support so far from the . inherently most nations are selfish they're run by politicians who expect are expected by the people they govern to look after them 1st and put

their interests 1st we don't see this happen very often i mean something like a sporting tournament you might see it where when nationalism triumphs over maybe you know other emotions but i think that in a situation like this which we've never experienced before and so understandable it's unfortunate but it's understandable the crisis managers in the european commission of need to the other member states haven't done as much for italy as they should have at the start and this is the point when he's announcing more relief for a country remaining i think the italians will take that very very badly in italy where even the north and south divide where ringback they have one strategy moving in the in the north where the epidemic 1st materialized and that was well underway before that even in the south i think that they will be asking some big questions of the european union about what what happened where were they when they needed and

i think the same in spain they were also be asking questions these are countries that have had a combined total of nearly 32000 people die since the pandemic and that's a lot of citizens to be losing particularly when you feel you should be having help coming to you from brussels. ecuador is now one of the worst hit countries in south america officially only $242.00 people have died from corona virus but testing is still limited and even the president has admitted that the actual figure is much higher with hundreds of people dying at home on a daily basis and in many cases relatives have nowhere to bury their loved ones. yeah i was god i came here to look for him i said well it's it with me in the

papers i can't find the body one day she days 3 days 4 days 5 days and they call find it. yet they go to me and i guess i'm sleeping here outside the building i have on taking care of seed small bones hurt and all that because i want to bury my mother and going. yeah. yeah i. know that he was. taken that you know. that they believe they did good to him one thing those things but they are worthless and worthless because they put on our relatives bodies they can't belong in there because god coffin bus so could they get away but if they go

one cardboard gets wet what happens it does integrate doesn't it imagine transports in the course and it starts raining and it will just integrate. hospitals across ecuador are unable to cope with the influx of covert 19 patients many people have been refused treatment and died at home we spoke to a doctor in ecuador who asked to remain anonymous he said dozens of medics have also died. this year if we see shortages and also. both public and private hospitals where there are not enough beds no ventilation device is key to saving lives very unfortunately we often had to wait for one patient to died to give another he's bad and breathing apparatuses more than 40 health workers have died in the pandemic doctors and nurses this is

hidden from the public it is very important to understand that medical personnel cannot work in such conditions so for example on friday gospels only got your quill had to be closed there was simply no protective equipment the situation with the band decaying bodies will cause the damage to worsen due to diseases caused by the composition of course this if i could contact the double the show or the pan american health organization i would ask them to intervene and inquire or and provide the assistance that the city is going to quibble means. we heard from ronnie our legal santas an official in ecuador province and from tkinter lucas a former deputy foreign minister they both think that there was completely unprepared for this pandemic. no one was ready for corona virus but the government should be able to respond to a possible outbreak of the disease that started as an epidemic then became a pandemic it is obvious that the public health system must respond unfortunately many of the hospitals built during the 10 years of the civil revolution were almost

abandoned and many doctors and health workers were laid off therefore it turned out to be difficult to confront this kind of situation without hospitals and doctors and in addition the presidential administration has demonstrated its inability to act the reality is that none of the measures that the government took worked since the start the government has acted in accordance with our described development but it was lying reporting no deaths while on the streets leave the bodies of dozens of dead people obviously when a government lies to itself its response cannot be adequate no one of the thunder but it may. in fact the situation in ecuador is now disastrous reason for this is that our health care system was almost destroyed destroyed key posts were assigned to people who did not have enough training to ensure the functioning of the system bodies on the streets no one removes no established procedure for the collection of bodies they invent some kind of proprietary

protocol according to which you have to wait several hours before picking up the body but the citizens of ecuador did not deserve such a careless negligent attitude on the part of the officials who now stand at the head of the ministry of health we observe a careless attitude on the part of the government which was created to protect the interests of those in power the financial elite in areas of the province of quietus where the wealthiest segments of the population live doctors come to patients houses while ordinary people called 911 in the hope that someone will answer them and explain something but no one will answer them people wait several days for them to do the test. and no one cares about them. food is going to waste in rural america with supplies they're unable to sell their goods because of lockdown measures will bring you the full story after the break.

in the depths. or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there. welcome back the united states registered almost 2000 deaths from covert 19 on wednesday it's the highest daily figure for any country since the start of the pandemic and it brings the total that's almost $15000.00 that's higher even than spain with unemployment soaring millions are struggling just to put food on the table meanwhile in rural america is going to waste a lot more than explains. sometimes we seem to live in parallel reality across the

united states store shelves are empty and food banks are reporting long lines and a shortage of donations at the same time we have farmers across america dumping gallons and gallons of dairy products saying that they have no one to buy them. how is this even possible demand for milk and cheese and other dairy products is high yet they are unable to sell them the pandemic is requiring self isolation bars and restaurants are closed as a result people are running to their local supermarkets and the shelves are quite empty most american farmers are wholesalers meaning they sell to retailers not directly to supermarkets and if you are a farmer who sells to a retailer that supplies restaurants they cannot buy anything so you have to

rapidly reorient to selling to supermarkets the problem is the factories or processors who are using products specifically for the retail industry like restaurants for example those little tiny packs of butter that you may get in a restaurant but you can't just take that to the grocery store and sell it to the consumer it's not just melt meat and vegetables are in a similar situation producers do not have enough customers left and supermarket chains are unable to restock when they run out lots of food is going to waste in addition tighter border controls are making it harder for producers to hire immigrant workers with harvest just around the corner this presents a big problem it could lead to fruits and crops rotting in the fields with no workforce to reap them many are wondering why all the food that's being thrown away due to market disruptions cannot just be provided to food banks if you were. wanted

to reorganize it to move the milk not according to the market where will be paid for but to give it to charity you would have to we organize the whole sale the storage the transport and that's precisely the kind of arranging that could only be done if it were planned for in advance at this point it's haphazard we don't have train traffic as we normally do we do not have truck traffic as we normally did there is no coordination major effort of the government is to appear to be in control when it isn't it's a government that is focused on reelection and not on dealing with this problem it's really like the 930 s. the great depression. coming down into the united states economy. the

crisis unfolding in the united states seems to be bad for everyone hungry people cannot get food from food banks consumers ready to buy food find empty shelves in stores meanwhile farmers have to dump their products because they are unable to sell it caleb martin r.t. new york. the united kingdom has one of the world's fastest rising death tolls from cove and 19 with more than $900.00 lives lost on wednesday which brings the total there to $7000.00 and there are growing signs of panic with people reporting on neighbors seem to be breaking rules on social distancing and the skate partridge has the story. the british are farmed out on tell tales there's even an old nursery rhyme that graphically condemns those who inform on others tell tale tit your tongue shall be slit and all the dogs in the town chill have a little bit. but since the u.k. went into lockdown on march the 23rd fia of the coronavirus and frustration at

others ignoring stay at home rules mean police stations are being inundated by snitches one senior policeman urged the public to stop it and instead choose a polite disapproval but other british police forces and also artists around the world are taking advantage of this trend and encouraging their citizens to watch and reports hotlines have been established apps been developed and online forms published for denouncing rule breakers in the us what was once socially condemned is now officially remunerated you know the old expression about snitches well in this case snitches get rewards we want to thank you for turning folks in and making sure we are all safe as anyone can transmit the disease everyone is under scrutiny in germany politicians have seen reported for not keeping enough distance while scotland's chief medical officer ended up losing her job dr catherine calderwood

was caught visiting her 2nd homes twice in a fortnight contrary to her own official advice photos of her were leaked to the press and she resigned that there's already been up backlash to the rise in social status issues. is that and frank wouldn't have lost a 2 week with the sneetches the thing they have the moral high ground for reporting on the neighbors activities. an absurd amount of people in this country are going to turn into 1st class snitches and when this ands they'll keep reporting their neighbors to the police this is obviously an undercurrent that goes into a company is there so i mean it's sort of positioned in framed as you are doing your civic duty you are protecting everybody but it has deeper ramifications than that we must be very careful it is fear based absolutely people do have judgment about them about what other people are doing what's in your basket is that shopping essential why did you go out how long was your exercise how long were you on that

bench for we have to be really careful sociologists claim snitching is based on fear or often surges in times of crisis and historically such as under the nazis when all sorts is encouraged social spying it can bring out the worst in people libertarians argue that look down restrictions hit the poorest hardest and shaming risks inflaming social divisions at a time when unity is needed but the rule followers argue this situation is temporary and a small sacrifice for a much bigger picture this is a national emergency is not a national holiday it's important people understand that everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus this includes people of all ages even if you do not have any symptoms of the health condition before the coronavirus struck the world was becoming more polarized economically and politically coded 19 is also having the global impact not only in loss of life and social disruption but in

highlighting humanity's extremes arguably balancing these extremes to talk at a common viral enemy is the reasonable response and to prevent it a social divide being the legacy of the coronavirus after its physical effects have been conquered hate partridge party love the. us this pandemic continues we had our tea here for you with. information bring you coverage on our website and social media in addition to round the clock live broadcasts that we're making from a studios in moscow london and washington d.c. so stay informed stay with. us. with the coronavirus now officially declared a pen demick the world faces the additional burden of an oil market collapse this comes at a time when demand for crude was already known some her calling this the ultimate

perfect storm how this all ends is in place gets. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the 2 most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made. close one on each other's toes he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so your care might anything.

i don't trust medical authority at all. and the reason for that is 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 out of the 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 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. to.

max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know we've been saying about during this crisis the question always been ken jay powell over there at the federal reserve or other such a bankers' inflate to reflate or to pump up. quick enough to hurt any downdraft in the stock market i know economically that's got a lot of problems associated with that but that's the big question stacey it is all about this one issue that you and i particularly you have been talking about for years to be an options trader and what is options trading all about but managing risk right well that was a tool developed to manage risk but when that didn't work all the time 100 percent of the time bankers got their friends like jay powell let's look at this tweet from you are you ready for monday jay powell goes but. i get my spanish comes in handy

there to know how to roll those arse.
