11:03 am
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 fly to a godless every day into the jewels 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 the commitment of that i make tonight for health care workers and for
11:04 am
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 tried to skimp on health care for years alice few abed's nurses doctors less equipment and less money. with the world while military budgets explode. that politicians rule the dice on
11:05 am
which hospital to close next and no one can claim that they didn't warn us from the current od 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 here troll to news one miles over and over a period of cruel irony over and over to their manager if you're going to be special and told to you for the entire week don't applaud politicians they were warned time and time again that this could happen sure would have been expensive to
11:06 am
prepare the turns out it would have been cheaper than doing nothing. the world is not prepared for a fast moving global respect that would kill up to $80000000.00 people devastate economies and create social chaos and yet those medics that we try to skimp and save money on they can't 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
11:07 am
every single agency every single federal government tell 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 the state 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. our trust. there are growing calls in france over the urgent need to develop an exit strategy from the covert 19 locked president mccrone the 2 to give
11:08 am
a nationwide address on monday evening on our part correspondent charlotte dubin skee told us what we might expect to hear that are. president michael is due to address the french nation on monday evening where it's expected that 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 may is also suggestion that he will announce schools will not reopen until september this comes as the death rate for coburg 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
11:09 am
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 that this is the worst recession since 1945 for members some 30 to 40 percent of businesses are just completely shut down with no ticking at all now the head of the employer francis 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
11:10 am
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. 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 is made to the nation's 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 on says and we'll bring you the latest here. from president putin says there are break in russia is worsening there was another daily record this monday with 2558 new registered infections more than 1300 of them here in moscow but mr putin added the nation is continuing to stay
11:11 am
ahead with its actions to try and contain the spread. maybe we see that the situation with corona virus you changes daily and unfortunately not for the better the reason increasing cases particularly severe what the next weeks where to find everything all our actions should be optimized taking all factors into account when we're going to continue our preemptive course even though the situation is not getting better we're still managing to make preemptive. we need a good professional projections for coming 3 to 7 days most of which it was. just that some more of the updates here in the capital a digital permit system is rolling i don't moscow this monday to try and curtail non-essential travel or run the region the mare is also ordering the majority of nonvolatile enterprises to stay shut taking us through all the developments here taylor. but i'm just standing opposite the mayor's office right here in the center
11:12 am
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 is shanties a new york's 5th avenue so you see it's absolutely jam packed with cars and people but today you can see there are relatively few cars and almost no pedestrians why well new hotshot knocked out matches so from now on until the duchess of trouble within the city will be regulated by a strict hospice system to house it last fall 33 stages to the 1st stage of promise for people traveling to and from what the 2nd stage will be for the trip up the frights he's on the 3rd stage watching the 2 limit movement within the neighborhoods now so far around $780000.00 cars have already been given out just to give you an idea must the house around 13000000 residents i'm actually one of the 780000 you can see right here this is my permit it comes in an electronic form it's
11:13 am
got various information so it's obviously got my name it's got my. email addresses 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 if the 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 carefully also let me carry on and i'll be trying this with me everywhere i go if i'm going on a tux if i'm going on the cheap from walking down the street the only time that i will safely leave that i hope is fun throwing up my rubbish or walking my unfortunate imaginary dog or going to my local shop now this is a significant tightening of the restrictions until now we've just been requested to sit at code but given the recent surge in the number of coronavirus cases here in russia the moscow storage 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
11:14 am
that $18000.00 cases here in russia around $2500.00 new ones in the last 24 hours and the death toll partly stands out $148.00 now most of us russia's largest city accounts around 2 of 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 confidence is waiting to trump told us to suspect is covering a high risk. patients not to clinic on the outskirts of moscow now on average jane 1300 people have been transported by ambulance to the top flight hunted just a week for these new restrictions what most exploded because unfortunately some people are still refusing to abide by the state otto dioxide something that w h o says is obviously only busting situation yes the sun is shining yes bring has
11:15 am
arrived but it's a health crisis to pee. pull a staying in and that doing that pot to ensure the health and safety of all that thought i must have i. will be near restrictions or correspondent was just speaking of i came into effect or will come into effect on whedon's say russia has so far conducted more than 1300000 coronavirus tests one of the major test manufacturers is getting backing from russian direct investment fund which is the government vehicle for driving the economy we spoke to its chief executive. 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 the system that we've invested in and look at the way to system sun 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 more well known mobile units that looks like
11:16 am
a suitcase and it can be used at airports and schools in different places and factories and we believe that destiny 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 they divide that 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 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 and u.e. in other countries and we believe that international cooperation we believe it's very important that countries share information showed that all the genes share pro-choice we have a local or from china or you know lots of countries have a lot to learn from russia i think international cooperation is vital to fight for the virus well. this is our t.
11:17 am
on the way cut our personal interaction be. change for ever as we get used to social distancing a leading american doctor says we should permanently ditch and shakes her future health it's a longer story still ahead after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those words. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.
11:18 am
anyone else to show seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't hold. any belief just to shape out just they become educated and in games from it equals betrayal. points on many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground. a come back to the program the u.s. navy has confirmed best seller into the cartier theodore roosevelt has died of code
11:19 am
19 complications another 584 crew members from the same vessel which is docked off the pacific island of guam have tested positive for corona virus that's cross try to kill up open for more and what is no one killer the deceased i believe is yet to be named but is the 1st among the crew of thought carrier to die indeed the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt's a u.s. navy vessel is once again making headlines around the world it appears that a sailor from the crew of that vessel has died from coronavirus now you'll recall that the ship made headlines at 1st when a memo was sent out by the captain of the ship describing a dire situation onboard take a listen we are not had war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now
11:20 am
we're failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset our sailors keeping overthe $4000.00 young men and women onboard the t.r. is an unnecessary risk and breaks faith with those sailors intrusted to our care now after that memo was sent out the captain of the ship was fired however is crew described him as a hero and applauded him take a listen to that. thank you. and now the case has become almost symbolic of widespread accusations and allegations of mismanagement of the coronavirus situation by the u.s. government there has been widespread outrage about the firing of the captain and criticism of that decision from many prominent figures and voices in the united
11:21 am
states and it just flowing as the coronavirus situation continues in the united states we have roughly 561000 cases that are confirmed as well as well over 22000 deaths from coated 19 so as the situation continues with infections across the united states and the country basically being locked down as people are basically trying to stay indoors and avoid infection shortages of needed supplies and such many are looking at this case with the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt as kind of symbolic of how the u.s. government has almost dropped the ball. been taking us through one sailor has died who was on board the ship just ducked off in the pacific kaleb. the way we personally great each other could be about to change forever as all of america's most prominent experts on infectious diseases suggests we all give one
11:22 am
shakes the elbow 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 have a 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. earlier i discussed with an expert just how the pandemic might affect we are in the future. if it was somehow universally adopted out how big a difference would it make you know a 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
11:23 am
a lot of people are talking about now and i watch television messy people very close to each other there are strangers talking to each other or people shaking hands and they get 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 quarters 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 handshaking were having physical contacts 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
11:24 am
measures begin to recede hopefully we will see ourselves going back to i think older forms 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 can. search is shaking hands and physical press and maybe the 1st is it still going to be daily survival in this in stream leon equal global society that we live in where 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 that were already exist in existence in the economy prior to that play the accelerator 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 cut it encourage
11:25 am
people to test snitch on each other to the authorities what's your take is is the next stage in exchanging our freedoms for security which is basically to make our private lives negotiable and i have a little bit worried in the way in which there's all this stock what governments into using these new apps 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 get all your freedoms the authorities didn't ask you back to you there is a very potentially quite a quite a difficult situation coming up as far as question of freedom is concerned. now let's get a check and some developing stories from across the world 1st ukraine on the site of one of the most tragic disasters in modern history the exclusion zone around the turn of the nuclear plant is battling a wildfire these are pictures from above while on the ground firefighters are doing
