monday the 13th of april to the headlines from out international the new york governor pledges of funder support medics now but health care workers hit back saying it is budget cuts that led to today's die a lack of resources. the big trade every single agency everything all. state. as the outbreak worsens here in moscow city leaders are bring in a digital permit system to control travel around the capital and the wider region. and the lasting affects of social distancing is a leading american doctor says we should all be permanently and shakes now to stop the spread of illness we discuss how isolation affects our future interactions that

. was big for most of the in the name of how is actually the erosion of human contact and human solidarity social isolation is a privilege for those that don't have to either face or in close proximity or die of starvation not an option for several billions of peoples around the world. they're welcome to the program has just turned 3 pm here in moscow this monday i'm kevin owen with this 30 minute world news roundup of 1st here's where we are on the numbers as we enter a new week it's 4 months now since the 1st infections began to cause concern around the world as of now this hour more than $1800000.00 cases have been logged more than 115000 people have died the number of people known to have recovered from covert 19 is now almost 434000.

so latest developments let's go to new york the worst affected state in the world's most affected country the governor of new york's planning to launch a fund now to support medics but the skepticism from union sue blame him for budget cuts which they say have squeezed resources and left them ill equipped for the pandemic now with more on that and the similar struggles elsewhere around the world is a senior correspondent more gadgety of. isn't in the standings that something super tiny a virus which isn't even technically considered alive has humbled us through all our technology for all our knowledge and hubris ami's robots rockets with powerless we have nothing to fight it with but there are those who fight to a godless every day into the jaws of infection or warriors in this life and death

battle the incredible doctors and nurses and health care workers on the front line of the fight physios radiograph was pharmacists who kept coming to work kept putting themselves in harm's way for years we took what medical professionals did for granted this is a given they didn't get parades all fireworks it took a pandemic for the world to wake up to the service that sacrifices that medics make is a process well and the commitment of that i make tonight for health care workers and for the entire nation is that once the crisis is over a massive investment plan and an upgrade of career paths will be put in place for our hospital system we think the federal government should set up a hero's compensation fund to compensate our health care and other front line workers for what they did here oh they're thankful now they are on camera he didn't mention how under him and his predecessor they eliminated 20000 hospital beds to

cut costs the french president doesn't mention how successive governments try to skimp on health care for years now as few abed's nurses doctors less equipment and less money. over the world while military budgets explode. that politicians rule the dice on which hospital to close next and new one can claim that they didn't warn us before the current odd that. the end result has been that we don't have enough of anything that we need not beds nor hospitals no ventilators 1st world nations with astronauts in space ascending

the nurses to work in trash bags and beer troll to news one mouse over and over and they're cruel tonight and over and over to their mouths or if you're going to be special and told to use what entire we don't applaud politicians they were warned time and time again that this could happen sure it would have been expensive to prepare the turns out it would have been cheaper than doing nothing. the world is not prepared for a fast moving global respect that could kill up to 80000000 people devastate economies and create social chaos and yet those medics that we try to skimp and save money on they care for us every day in america france or russia these medics who to work every day knowing that there's

a serious risk of infection and with the dignity to avoid mentioning that they warned us were unprepared as health care system one that was already broken prior to this and is completely destroyed at this point we were unprepared as a country it's unfortunate how it everything played out how every person in dallas responsible for making sure we were protected so that we could do our work properly and save other people fail to do that they completely let us down they betrayed us every single agency every single federal government fell does every single person that was there that was supposed to provide us what we needed that was supposed to assist us and give us support during these difficult times so that we could do what we needed to do would be properly if equally fail to do that we were left alone. to figure it out on our own we're going to be damaged as a result of this i don't know what are we going to end up i don't know what we're

going to look like after this but if we're never going to be there say health care is never going to be the same healthcare workers are never going to be the same this is as completely destroyed. everything that it could. even. tranced. well looking ahead as more people around the world in the midst of all this there are a growing calls in france over the urgent need to develop an exit strategy from the covert $1000.00 locked down prison across jus to give a nationwide address on monday evening of paris correspondent sheila do bensky told me what we might expect to hear later than. president macklin is due to address the french nation on monday evening where it's expected he will announce that the lockdown will be extended again it's been in place since march 17th but the suggestion now is that will go on until at least made may there's also suggestion that he will announce the schools will not reopen until september this comes as the

death rate for 19 has been decreasing in the country over the past few days and the suggestion is the number of people in the intensive care unit has also gone down now for 4 consecutive days but what is the exit strategy as many are saying the lockdown just can't continue indefinitely but one medical institute is warning that they'd need to be a strategy in place and it's warning that so far it isn't clear that one is and without that they could be a 2nd even more deadly wave that could overwhelm the health systems leave to lock down with no exit strategy in place will inevitably lead to a large rebound in fact as the immunity of the population is estimated to still be very low profile one to 6 percent meanwhile there's pressure on the government to try and get the economy moving we know that france is already in a recession and some people are suggesting this is the worst recession since 1945

remember some 30 to 40 percent of businesses are just completely shut down with no ticking at all now the head of the employers union in france is made it is actually warning that when we do go back to work that french citizens may have to work harder and longer we will have to ask ourselves the question of working time sooner or later public holidays and paid leave to accompany the recovery and to facilitate by working a little more the creation of additional growth well as you can imagine that's not everybody's cup of tea and in fact workers unions of. serious. it is utterly indecent to ask people to work more it's not up to them to pay the costs of this coronavirus crisis and there's huge pressure on the president in this address tonight it will be one of several addresses has made to the nation since the start of the pandemic and the lockdown here in france and it comes at

a time when some 38 percent of people in one poll suggest that they just don't trust the government to deal with this crisis but we'll be watching to see exactly what president says it will bring you the latest here. drew pinsky the here a digital permit system starts rolling out of moscow this monday to try and could tell nonessential travel around the region the mayor is also ordering the majority of non-vital enterprises to stay shut the break here in russia is worsening another daily record this monday sorry to report to you with 2558 new cases with more than 1300 of them here in moscow so scott taylor has more the capital's new restrictions them. but i'm just standing opposite the mayor's office right here in the center of moscow and it's located on the main street all the way down to red square and not direction is kind of the equipment of london's oxford street paris the shanties in york's 5th avenue so you see it's actually jump packed with both cars and people

but today you can see there are relatively few cars and almost no pedestrians why well new hotshot knocked out matches have come into effect this monday so from now on until the 30th of april trouble within the city will be regulated by a strict caste system so how so what was $33.00 stages where the 1st stage of permits for people traveling to and from what the 2nd stage would be for the trip up the right seat and that stage will actually be to limit movement within the neighborhoods now so far around 780000 parts have already been given out just to give you an idea must. it has around 13000000 residents i'm actually one of those 718000 you can see right here this is my permit it comes in an electronic form it's got serious information so it's obviously got my name it's got my e-mail address it's got my possible information it's got the time limits of mine is going to last until the 13th april but the most important thing it has is right here at the very

top and that is a sin old code not this is the code it's a policeman comes up to me it says can i see your comment that is the code i'll give him he'll check it into system and then heard from you also let me carry on and i'll be trying this with me everywhere i go if i'm going to tax if i'm going on the cheap from walking down the street the only time that i will safely leave it i hope is fine throwing up my proposition of walking my own fortune imagine retold or going to my local shop now this is a significant tightening of the restrictions on till now we've just been requested to sit at code but given the recent such in the number of coronavirus cases here in russia the moscow authorities said they were really left with no other option but to impose more stringent measures so that the latest count is that i'll just tell you that 18000 cases here in russia around 2500 new ones in the last 24 hours and the death toll partly stands out 148 now moscow was russia's largest city

accounts around 2 cool russian codes it 19 cases now you don't actually need to look at the figures to see that increase just looking around on the streets are noticeably more on kill it says in fact of the 2 recently came out showing a few of confidences waiting to trust us to suspect is covering a high risk. patients not to clinics on the outskirts of moscow now on average jane 1300 people have been transported by ambulance as thoughts of life hunted just weeks ago these new restrictions will close it boded because unfortunately some people. asked still refusing to abide by the state and who died by something that document shows says is obviously only blasting the situation but the good news is is that the positive results of this new process didn't seem to already be showing because according to the app that rates how well the city itself isolates muskat currently its rating at $4.00 out of 5 that's up from this time last week $3.00 so

it seems that the system is beginning to show the positive efforts of people coming together being more disciplined yes the sun is shining yes bring has arrived but it's a health crisis to people are staying in and they're doing their part to ensure the health and safety of all their thought it must have bites. earlier on to verse one of the main stretches let's go down to down to moscow where we know that's always pushed the very night a few people but nothing like it would be normally this time of the year with the weather as it is and not much traffic around the the gist of the camera might may or may not spin but just across from that is the christ the savior cathedral massive place of course it's no orthodox christianity is holy week but of course it's being celebrated without worshipers being able to congregate for the many services expected in the coming days also means being held on line barely a soul the bus coming in and watching the buses in the dead as it should be people

have been heeding by the message to stay at home you can see no one on the bus side and from wednesday it's mandatory you can only go out with permission or you will get a risk of a $70.00 fine if you want to take your car you can go to the chemist you can go for any health reasons you can go and buy food. so russia so far as conducted more 1300000 coronavirus tests one of the major test manufacturers is getting backing from the russian direct investment fund which is the government vehicle for economic investment i spoke direct to the chief executive of it demetrius and asked where rusher is in terms of testing at the moment. well we already manufactured 500000 cuts and we own that track to have more than 1000000 best manufactured every week and what is unique about a system that we've invested in to look at the wages systems and we believe testing is very important is that the system is one of the most precise and more systems in

the world we can test wasn't going to be a blue or well known mobile units that looks like a suitcase and it can be used at airports and schools and different places and factories and we believe at best it has to be much more ubiquitous and we believe that russia is moving forward to do more testing we can find 100 units of virus which basically means that we can identify a person on the 1st day of the infection and this is important because of the test and systems you know find people one week later the weeks later but identifying people early it allows us to treat those people sooner and allows them to in fact 5 fewer people so we believe in early testing as a key criteria of success insofar as the virus and by the way out deaths have been used in australia in u.e. in other countries and we believe in international cooperation we believe it's very important that counters share information shared the knowledge is share prochoice we have a local or from china you know lots of countries have

a lot to learn from russia i think international cooperation is vital to fight for the virus well and we saw this misery and gloom with these lockdowns causing a tranquil silence the world in little bit of happiness as well as his mother nature is breathing a sigh of relief over whole the air is clear and for a start a normally polluted cities a wild life making the most of the newly deserted streets people have been sharing in a long line is a look at it. the

l.s.o. keep remembering it's a beautiful world out there and soon it'll be safe again for us all to go outside when they tell us to but for now stay safe stay indoors coming up could our personal interaction be changed forever as we get used to all the social distance a living american doctor says we should permanently ditch handshakes now for our future health we talk about it coming up. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

hello again i'd like to shake your hand but no seems the way we personally greet

each other could be about to change forever as one of america's most prominent experts on infectious diseases suggest that we should all give the elbow future make sense maybe it's being claimed that stopping the centuries old tradition would not only prevent the spread of corona virus but also the common cold. i don't think we should ever shake hands ever again to be honest with you not only would it be good to prevent coronavirus disease it probably would decrease instances of influenza dramatically in this country you know neils been discussing with an expert panel just how the pandemic might affect. future than. if it was somehow universally adopted out how big a difference would it make you know sense what what what was being promoted in the name of health is actually the erosion of human contact and human solidarity and it seems to me that if you begin to medicalize human relationships and contacts into is being suggested it simply makes the divisions and the tension that already

exists so much more difficult to bear i think that's something we should very strongly oppose and that is that a lot of people are talking about now and i watch television and i see people very close to each other there are strangers talking to each other or people shaking hands and yet they're disgusted i feel like that's quite unsettling this is a class pandemic that is several billions of poor people around the world crowded in corridors in the world's megacities they're forced to do jobs that involve physical contact and close proximity to others they have no other choice social isolation is a privilege for those that don't have to either face work in close proximity or die of starvation in the future after the pandemic is over such things as no longer hand shaking or having physical context not an option for several billions of peoples around the world how easy do you think it will be after being told for so long to move away you know social distancing isolation supermarket rushing how do

you expect the public to react when when the measures are lifted as this as the measures begin to recede hopefully we will see ourselves going back to i think older farms of social contact think a portion of global humanity is going to be more cautious there's going to be of course the psychological trauma of having emerged from this pandemic but again i see the world from the viewpoint of that's 34b5b that are the most outcast and the most downtrodden and their secondary concern is shaking hands in physical presence maybe the 1st is that still going to be daily survival in this in stream leon equal global says. i agree that we live in what the pandemic has done is that it's created a 2 tier system it made it even more rigid many respects what a pandemic has really done is reinforce trends there already exist in existence in the economy prior to that but it excelled at it it intensified it and in that sense divisions and differences in lifestyle are going to become even more pronounced

what happens now are we still helping to be monitored cutted encourage people to test each other to the authorities what's your take is the next stage in exchanging our freedoms for security which is basically to make our private lives negotiable and i will go worried in the way in which those all the stock works governments into using these new outs that will monitor us but it does seem to me that it does give enormous power over to the authorities and my understanding of human history is that whenever you give all your freedoms to the earth or used to going to go back to you there is a very potentially quite a quite a difficult situation coming up as far as question of freedom is concerned. here for now is getting through every day take to every day by itself no look around the world see what's happening briefly coronavirus break on board this french navy aircraft carrier see in those screens 50 cases a parent who registered on the shells to call which is dock to the mediterranean

port of 2 long 3 sailors are in hospital as a precaution the remaining crew parents are quarantined on board for 2 weeks now and are wearing face masks. while some police use drones to check on social distancing compliance different in one part of germany the using this great big airship it's to look for groups of people around the picturesquely constance area near the swiss border they thought he say it's better for higher altitude monitoring and it's quieter over the sunny easter we can report the shots yes they gatherings were seen in perl in this park for a start despite advice to stay at home people. much packed into some of those parks not heeding the best advice elsewhere. on a positive note this alfresco concert coming courtesy of spanish police gave staff for the madrid hospital to shoot before but the time off some of the medics joined

in a bit of energy left despite everything having to face right now singing along to a popular national song no talking to creativity. whiling away the long hours stuck indoors is definitely bringing out people's hidden talents here in russia no different either it's isolation art a facebook group where people are uploading images of themselves recreating masterpieces with whatever comes to hand it's become a huge hit worldwide with more than 400000 followers let's finish this polluting with little exhibition then sure we. 2
