as the number of hospitalized patients double the mirror of moscow announces a puff system to monitor movement saying too many people are still flying with self isolation. the u.s. becomes the 1st country to register to thaw as in corona virus deaths in a single day refrigerated trailers and mass graves are now seen in the main infections new york city struggles with rising fake. i mean if you. experience. speed. helplessness the fact that you don't know you can do. just too good to

make it to all of. the french president meets medics including a woman promoting a culture of treatment for a coated 90 pounds french health care workers continue to rely against the government's efforts. and how 5000000000 people could be pushed into poverty by the pound demick according to leading british humanitarian charity. this is r.t. international my name's you know neil 30 minutes of news on views start and. let's begin with the latest figures this hour in the cove 19 pandemic the number of cases around the world still on the rise with 1700000 people now infected. another

grim milestone was reached to more than 107000 have succumbed to corona virus but beside that figure a chink of light snow met almost 4 times. and mischel 107395 people they have recovered from the disease. well let's start the bullet and here in russia which is to carry out clinical trials of a vaccine against kobe had 19 initially on 60 volunteers the country's not registered over 100 deaths and more than 13000 in fact meanwhile america has announced that the city will gradually rollout up a system designed to tighten control over movement and just annoyance from wednesday passes will be compulsory for travel by personal or public transport those process can be applied for on line at the start of the week. this queue of

ambulances was seen waiting to transfer of patients to a hospital in moscow that's been repurposed to focus on coronavirus patients the number of admissions holes doubled since last weekend more than 85 percent of the patients of pneumonia the authorities say the pick is still to come on or ramping up restrictions in the capital let's a large are going to take us through the latest developments. late on friday evening it was announced that there is going to be a new system of tasks is to be used in the russian capital and that was announced on the moscow mayor's web site where he said that it was a question of the health and the state of all the people living in moscow because the situation has only gotten worse recently that he was really left with no choice but to implement this but in those when they didn't go through boards a virtual local since the beginning of this week the situation with the coronavirus has been worsening previously hospitals has been receiving 500 patients they leave

now the number has surpassed 1000 a past regime inside the city is an inevitable restriction which will be implemented gradually starting from monday. now over the past few days there really has been a sharp increase in new cases in the russian capital almost every day has seen about 1500 cases and just on friday there was almost 2000 along with 18 deaths as well now another announcement that we heard was that for the next week there will be further restrictions on businesses in moscow and all but the most essential ones will be shut for the week and that could possibly be extended. to do this well most of moscow's organizations and enterprises will temporarily stop working for a week with the possibility to prolong it only essential enterprises will keep operating. it's just those people who work at those essential businesses who will be the 1st ones affected by it and seeing how this past system works because

the 1st stage that's being rolled out. will be passive giving to people and order for them to get to their places of business the 2nd round 7 whenever that is released will be for other trips around the city and the 3rd if necessary will actually be passes for people to leave their houses at all in order to move around their neighborhood to go to the local store or their pharmacy or anything like that and of course that's something we've seen and a number of european countries but it does seem like the moscow thirty's do want to avoid that situation but are prepared to do it if necessary and the governor of the wider moscow region has put out a warning to that effect. starting from monday we will actually increase the number of policeman national guard and traffic police who will stop people to ask them why they are outdoors that's why i'm asking you to stay home and take seriously all the precautions we are facing now to prevent the spread of the virus that increased police presence that he was referring to really does seem desiree at this point because i can tell you even looking out my own windows on my balcony i can still

see quite a bit of activity people just out with their kids walking and lots of cars still are on the street so it's really hard at this point to say that people are following the restrictions that are already in place and that all started back on march the 28th president putin came out and said that he was announcing a week off work where people would still be paid but they would not be going to work and that has actually been extended until the end of april those were for all businesses where it was possible to not actually physically go to work and of course on the 30th of march that's when moscow's mayor put out restrictions saying that people should only leave their houses in the event of a medical emergency if they have no choice but to go to work and to go to their local shops and pharmacies but like i said it really doesn't feel like people are following those restrictions and that is something that the moscow mare commented on saying that that was one of the reason that this past system is being rolled out so hopefully this is enough at this point for people to really listen and stay

inside. the other regions of russia are also implementing measures in order to fight the pun demick we'll bring you more on what's happening across the country later in the program. the united states has registered the world's largest number of deaths in a single day $2108.00 people died there and friday bringing the country's total almost $19.00 and fatalities among efforts to cope with the rising number of bodies dozens of refrigerated trucks have been parked. ready to be used this makeshift was a doctor working in the bronx a's his experience fighting coronaviruses worse than tucker lable. i mean if you sent over if you sent over if you sent out i'm least colleagues out from different parts of the world giving you all every day and night i grew up in nigeria i was born and raised and also trained and i experienced the polar people up here but disses crazier than what i thought of every magic the

change of experience to be despondent me to speed is that feeling of helplessness sometimes like the fact that you don't all you can do and used to get the negative all come from is in my personal experience he was i would say moderate syndrome i was quarantined for more than 7 days at least 7 days and it was scary the major part of this experience was fear and we would have seen in the hospital and with the cases i've seen seen young people die from this you know i think there was a very large component of fear for me because that too is you can go you can get better or you could go to the i.c.u. again to beat it up probably die from this and i was the shit part but i know i'm a man of feet so i as much as possible just try to put things through god's and

i go healed. well health workers arguably risk the most exposure to coronavirus hospital staff in new york calif they kill on friday for colleagues who lost their lives fighting be like r t america's trinity charges has more in the strain the city's hospitals are under right dollars. today new york city the crossroads of the world has more confirmed cases of coven 1000 than any other city on earth hospitals still heading capacity and medical staff pushed to their brink everything we're trying. preoperatively. we're giving our overvaluing every year keep her medical history right now. is giving more than they ever have while the u.s. navy hospital ship comfort to the javits center are supposed to help alleviate stress of the city's hospital system the 500 bed vessel comfort just has over 60 patients while the 1000 bed convention center field hospital has seen about 225

few eyebrows short of cuban ski explained as the race is on to find some way to bring that 19 to its knees it seems the french president isn't leaving any stone unturned emanuel might call spent a day visiting medical staff although some may have been a little surprised to learn that on his list was professor. who is the head of the i h u. infection institute in moscow say and some of his ideas about 19 have raised eyebrows. i am a practitioner and doctor and i'm shocked to see this survey that says that only 37 percent of doctors in the whole world prescribe hydroxy chloroquine in france the amount of people who prescribe it without saying anything is huge. he claimed following a small study that chloroquine a malaria drug was the cure and should be used immediately even one of

states in donald trump is a real chance that it could have a tremendous impact it would be a gift from god if that worked those claims caused controversy among the medical community here in france there were criticisms that his trials were change small too fast to be meaningful and concern about potentially dangerous side effects for those with heart problems but it seems that most people in france believe it has tapped into an effective treatment one poll found that 59 percent of people in france believe that clara queen was the miracle cure rowe has gone even further since then organizing for mass testing of the virus at his clinic defying official policy that was strict such experiments to symptoms people queued

outside his hospital this point being looked down the french government later caved in and a creed that the drug could be prescribed but questions and now being asked if this visit by president back on has only added fuel to the hype over what remains without a full series of clinical trials and proven treatment. the message that president macron is sent in is one of support which is due to mental to the scientific community professor all certainly has an interest in personality but one doesn't heal but personality. visit of more than 3 hours was in private but has been splashed across the front page news his advisors say it wasn't an indorsement but rather intended to show that the president is listening to wide swathe of scientific opinion but this visit came before the results of clinical

trials which are underway do you to be released and some suggest that this is more about macro bowing to popular pressure or perhaps even politicizing the issue i am a bit surprised by the president's visit to professor old because it's a little unexpected to endorse this treatment while we are still awaiting a real double blind study with a control group it is starting to become showbiz politics which is not good though general opinion polls have surged in support from macrorie as the pandemic has unfolded it seems amongst the medical community and medical staff the president is not really popular they raise their voices demanding protective gear and they were not the only ones on the same day my own had visited a hospital here in paris there too he was greeted by angry medical stuff.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. so much but then we really don't need that's what this whole lockdown is teaching so many millions of people but most of their lives are all wasted on stuff that's unnecessary costly redundant and doesn't promote social good at all.

welcome back it's estimated coronavirus code pushed a 1000000000 people into poverty the grim forecast from leading british humanitarian charity oxfam comes as the economic fallout widens the gap between the world's richest and its move vulnerable quarters be looking into the. as government lock downs around the world continue without an end in sight the writing is on the wall worse things are on the horizon we anticipate the worst economic fallout since the great depression the world is confronted with a crisis like no other covered 19 has disrupted our social and economic order at lightning speed and on a scale that we have not seen in leave in memory more than 16000000 american

workers have lost their jobs in just the past 3 weeks that's about double the american jobs lost throughout the entire 2008 recession as for europe where lockdowns were imposed earlier many don't even have enough money to put food on the table in other parts of the world the worst of the pandemic has yet to come oxfam predicts that more than half of the global population could be living in poverty when the smoke of this crisis clears up to the estimate is based on the road buying into it so we looked at the numbers of people living in poverty currently and then we move to what a 20 percent drop in people's income would we estimates in the impact of the coronavirus crisis could be to increase. the numbers of people living in poverty by 500000000 or whole 4000000000 people which would set back. the poverty has been reduced in recent days so this would set back the fight against public tuned

vatican has even published special rules for easter mass the faithful should be informed of the times of the celebration so that they can prayerfully unite themselves in their homes pope francis even offered the full removal of scenes for anyone who choose even while in the united states some churches are trying out the drive in services and which they celebrants don't leave their vehicles our message even this easter sunday is there is the reaction has not been cancelled the russian orthodox church has also moved services online the patriarch of moscow correll saying that people should stay away from churches for their own health and the health of this. for 51 years i have been preaching from the pulpits encouraging people to come to church and overcome the inclination of their evil will and external circumstances i have dedicated my entire life to this call i hope you understand how difficult it is for me to see today refrain from going to church in

the greek orthodox church services are being held behind closed doors with east to celebrations postponed until may and islam daily prayers are being. held online for christians and muslims their religious worship transfers online not exactly easily but with a bare minimum of fuss for jewish people the celebration of passover involves large social gatherings called say it is day 2 of how to go online almost 100 percent of jewish people attend a seder this year family gatherings are out and people will have a seder on their own often just one person and it will be a bittersweet celebration not everyone is in bracing the necessary changes in the united states expected that some church groups will break social isolation rules it appears to be out of line extreme and clearly in violation and they did violation of our fundamental rights these are testing times to be sure for people all over

the world from all different faiths and staying away from one another may seem strange at this time of year but it is the best way to stop the spread of the coronavirus peter all of our r.t. . with the russian capital set to rule out a new purchase them in order to fight the pandemic from monday all the regions are implementing their own measures to with more and how the largest nation in the world is regulating it all here's our tease maria for national. one country one virus but you can walk freely down the streets of your town or get fined for leaving your apartment depending on where you live. in moscow the pandemic has taken its most aggressive hold and therefore the measures here are among the most strict across russia the most recent include a past system for all outdoor movements and media partial lockdown with fines for

breaking self isolation a ban on mass gatherings and the clay show jeems spas and restaurants schools and universities are close to but most goes not the only region getting tough. thousands of kilometers away were precious southern caucus republic of chechnya has already gone even further because the president delegated decision making authority to local heads for the public's leader runs on could have slammed its audience shot from the 5th of april we are closing the chechen republic to the entry of all transport and people from the 3rd of april we will totally prohibit the movement of transport and pedestrians in cities and villages from 8 pm to 8 am these strict measures are needed to defeat covert 19 moscow decided this was too much to do not makes regional powers and federal power with all the restrictions should be

appropriate and suitable to the situation the measures were relaxed in later but still no free movement within the region. they says chile happens russia's 7th biggest city population wise following the presidential address to the nation the region just like was quick to close its borders and restrict movements but so often that approach later one man in a human hamster ball decided to join the authorities efforts to count to call the 19 from inside his safe shelter his. on his compatriots to stay home and self isolate. and this is tatarstan russia's central republic where almost 4000000 leave the 1st region where a system of s.m.s. control over old movements was introduced it means you cannot leave your house until you send a message to local authorities with your personal data and explain your purpose and

doors with bottles back on the shelves again. but some regions still remain carefree saying they don't see any reason for any quarantine if we don't have that many people in fact i don't think it's necessary only it's mosque i have a mask and protection stuff like sanitizing years but while hoping for the best people are preparing for the worst of the short a couple so everybody's scared on the eve of this article direct. and with the russian authorities stressing that the peak of the thing demick is still to come this. people all of course russia need to be ready for. a funk you for choosing are to you for your global news update this hour for more on the latest developments there are a lot of those. be sure to check out our social media pages where the teams are beavering away here at home to keep us all fully informed. i
