numbers as we ensure a new week it is 4 months since the 1st infections began to cause concern around the world. more than 1800000 cases have been logged out equates to a 117000 people losing their lives another important figure the over in the corner the number of people known to have recovered from kobe $1000.00 sits at over 438000 . let's focus on new york 1st the worst affected state in the world's most affected country the governor of new york is planning to launch a fund to support medics but there's skepticism from unions who blame him for budget cuts which they say have squeezed the resources and left the military to deal with the pandemic with more on the similar struggles elsewhere globally is our

senior correspondent in iraq as the it. isn't in the standings that something super tiny a virus which isn't even technically considered alive has humbled us through law technology for all our knowledge and hubris ami's robots rockets we have powerless we have nothing to fight it with but there are those who fight 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 it didn't get parades all fireworks it took a pandemic for the world to wake up to the service of sacrifices that medics make
1:04 pm
is a process well the commitment of that i make tonight for healthcare 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 longer hours few abed's nurses doctors less equipment and less money.
1:05 pm
for the world while military budgets explode. that politicians rule the dice on which hospital to close next and no one can claim that they didn't warn us for her her 100. 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 use one mouse over and over and they're cruel items over and over to their mouths or if you're given discretion and told to use what entire we don't applaud politicians they were warned time and time again that this could happen sure would have been
1:06 pm
expensive to prepare as it turns out it would have been cheaper than doing nothing the world is not prepared for a fast moving global risperidone pandemic 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 the cancerous every day in america france or russia these medics do to work every day knowing that there's a serious risk of infection and with the dignity to avoid mentioning that they warned us where i'm prepared as the 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 letters from down the
1:07 pm
betrayed us every single agency every single federal government does every single person that was bear 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 the clique failed to do that we were left alone. to figure it out on our own we're going to be damage 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 and even. our trust. to take attention back to europe where there are growing calls in france over the urgent need to develop exit strategy from the covert 19
1:08 pm
locked on president mccrone is to to give an issue addressed this monday evening it will be his 3rd on the mic our part of correspondent charlotte to penske told us what we might expect to hear later. president macklin 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 made may there's also suggestion that he will announce schools will not reopen until september this comes as the death rate for kovac 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 saying the lockdown just can't continue indefinitely but one medical institute is warning that
1:09 pm
needs 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 left in lockdown 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
1:10 pm
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 office. 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 address this is 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 and we'll bring you the latest. on president putin sees they are brick in russia is worsening there was another daily record this monday with 2558 new registered infections more than 1300 of them here
1:11 pm
in moscow but mr putin out of the nation is continuing to stay ahead with its actions to try and contain the spread. we see that the situation with coronaviruses changes daily and unfortunately not for the better reason increasing cases particularly severe what the next weeks will define everything all our actions should be optimized taking any factors into account 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 projection for coming 3 to 7 days. now i did it will permit system is rolling out here in moscow this monday to try and curtail non-essential travel around the region them or is also ordering the majority of non-vital enterprises to stay shut saskia taylor has more now on the capital's new restrictions. but i'm just standing opposite the mayor's office right here in the
1:12 pm
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 cars to shanties a new york's 5th avenue so usually it's obscene jump packed with both cars and people but today you can see there are relatively few cars and almost no pedestrians why well new harsha knocked out matches from now on until the touches of april trouble within the city will be regulated by a strict cost system so how to set up all $33.00 stages to the 1st state of promise for people traveling to and from the us the 2nd stage of the trip of up the frying tees and the cut stage watching the to limit movement within the neighborhoods now so far around $780000.00 costs have already been given out just to give you an idea must the house around 13000000 residents i'm actually one of the 718000 you can see right here this is my permit it comes in an electronic form it's got various
1:13 pm
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 30th of 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 interested 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 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 corona virus cases here in russia the moscow authorities said they were really left with no other option but to him. more stringent matches so that the latest count is that i'll just tell you
1:14 pm
that 18000 cases here in russia around 2500 new ones in the last 24 hours and the death toll party stands at 148 now most of us russia's largest city accounts around 2 of whom russian that 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 what i'm good at says in fact of the 2 recent meet came out showing a few well founded it says way take to drop top us suspect is covering a high risk. patients not to take on the outskirts of moscow now on average jane 1300 people have been transported by ambulance to the top 500 just a week today these new restrictions police say probe it because unfortunately some people are still refusing to abide by the state diakite something that w h o u says is if you see any busting situation yes the sun is shining yes bring has
1:15 pm
arrived but it's a health crisis to people all staying in and that doing that part to ensure the health and safety of all the thought i must of bytes you know those new restrictions still skew just mention come into effect on whedon's they russia has so far conducted more than 1300000 coronavirus tests one of the major tests manufacturers is now getting backing from the russian direct investment fund which is the government vehicle for driving the economy we spoke to the phone's chief executive. well we already manufactured 500000. of those in 1000000 manufacture every week and what is unique about this system is that invested in them to look at the way to system so we believe testing is very important is that the system is what was the most precise and more systems in the world we can test wasn't going to work well in mobile units. it looks like a suitcase and it can be used at airports and schools in different places and
1:16 pm
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 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 the key criteria of success in the particles of virus and by the way out deaths have been used in australia and u.e. in other countries and we believe in international cooperation we believe it's very important that countries share information shared the knowledge is share approaches 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 can other story we're following today the u.s.
1:17 pm
navy has confirmed the senator assigned to the courier theodore roosevelt died of code 1000 complications another 584 crew members from the same vessel docked off a pacific on the guam have tested positive for a corona virus here's are to kill up and. 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 'd 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 we're failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset our sailors keeping overthe $4000.00 young men and women on board the t.r. is an unnecessary risk and breaks faith with those sailors intrusted to our care
1:18 pm
now after that memo was sent out the captain of the ship was fired however his crew described him as a hero and applauded him take a listen to that. 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 states at this flowing as the coronavirus situation continues in the united states we have roughly a 561000 cases that are confirmed as well as well over 22000 deaths from coated 19 so as the situation continues with infections across the
1:19 pm
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. how the u.s. government has almost dropped the ball. you're changing the way qatar personal interaction be changed forever as we get used to social distancing leading american doctor says' we should permanently ditch one shakes for future health at some other stories still ahead after this break.
1:20 pm
the outbreak in the spread of the corona virus has become a black swan event for the global economy is no longer whether the u.s. and other economies will slip into recession the question now is the long the recession will last it's going to get worse before it gets better.
1:21 pm
let's start back with a question being posed could the way we personally greet each other be forever altered one of america's most prominent experts on infectious diseases hope so suggesting we all give one shakes the elbow it's being claimed that stopping the centuries old tradition would not only prevent the spread of coronavirus 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 earlier i discussed with an expert panel just how the pandemic might affect. we are in the future.
1:22 pm
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 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 i guess 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
1:23 pm
of starvation in the future after the pandemic is over such things as no longer hand shaking or having those 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 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 and 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
1:24 pm
created a 2 tier system it made it even more rigid and many respects what a pandemic has really done is reinforce trends there 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 people to test snitch on 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 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 did let us go back to
1:25 pm
you there is a very potentially quite a quite a difficult situation coming up as far as question of freedom is concerned. it's got some developing stories now from around the world starting in ukraine on the site of one of the most tragic disasters in modern history the exclusion zone around the turn noble nuclear plant is battling a wildfire these are pictures from above along the ground firefighters are doing their best to tackle the inferno the blaze started a little over 10 days ago triggered by what has been described as a joke. there's been a krone virus i praye can board this french navy aircraft carrier 50 cases were registered on the sharjah goal which is docked in the mediterranean port of tuna all 3 sailors are in hospital as a precaution while the remaining crew are quarantined on board for 2 weeks and are wearing face masks also.
1:26 pm
