5:01 am
because of a lack of health care workers. by their welcome to the program in just a day here in moscow this wednesday i'm kevin 0 in with this 30 minute world news round up well 1st let's go through the latest figures as they stand this hour the numbers make for grim reading this wednesday sad to say we've reached another bleak benchmark more than 2000000 infections have now been registered globally and over 126000 people have died in terms of people who've recovered though that's now heading towards the half a 1000000 mark here in russia today unfortunately there's a new record one day increase with $3388.00 new cases declared on wednesday bringing the total to nearly 25000 almost 200 people are known to have died from covert 19.
5:02 am
in today's developments around the world to brief you on 1st off president trump has to suspend u.s. funding to the world health organization he accuses the u.n. agency of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and supporting what he calls china's this information trump also accuses the w.h.o. of mistakes he said which led to many deaths the united states accounts for more than a 5th of the w h o's budget. i'm instructing my administration to halt funding of the world health organization while a review is conducted to assess the world. health organization's role in severely mismanaging in covering up the spread of the corona virus us president donald trump has announced that he is cutting u.s. funding to the world health organization accusing the organization of conspiring with the government of china to suppress important information related to the corona virus and demick in the middle of january. it parroted in publicly endorse
5:03 am
the idea that there was not human to human transmission happening despite reports and clear evidence to the contrary that delays the w.h.o. experience. in declaring a public health emergency costs valuable time this decision and previous statements by president trump regarding china and the world health organization has been widely criticized around the world many have argued that the united states is essentially politicizing the world health organization w.h.o. the organization that does so much a vital and important humanitarian work at a very moment when their work is really needed and it has been warned by leaders of the world health organization that this decision could result in body bags deaths could come about as a result of donald trump's decisions police don't politicize this virus it exploits the differences you have at the national level if you want to
5:04 am
be exploited and if you want to have many more. would be bugs. then you do it now it's also important to note that republicans in the u.s. congress and announce they plan a congressional probe a hearing to investigate china for its role and possible culpability in the spread of coronavirus so it seems that from the trumpet ministration and republicans there is a strong feeling that china is somehow responsible for the global pandemic and that world health organization and many international bodies may have cooperated with them in causing this kind of problem now critics are pointing to this and saying this is a massive conspiracy theory this is an attempt to distract from the failures of the united states when it comes to dealing with this pandemic but many of the voices on the republican side of the aisle and surrounding the trumpet ministration are
5:05 am
adamant that china is to blame and the world health organization the world health organization needs to be held accountable now the world health organization and beijing officials have released a timeline providing step by step information about how the pandemic was dealt with from december onward showing coordination and cooperation between chinese officials and international bodies they say this narrative of a chinese cover up with which the world health organization is allegedly complicit simply doesn't add up. they will health organization hasn't responded to his ations . likens the white house's approach to that of the mafia. it's a complete failure failure but there is one good think about it i think that it is that the wall this watching. i think the military sense of millions hundreds of millions of people will be told to discuss that and they will understand what is
5:06 am
behind the u.s. foreign policy how the u.s. is conducting actually the foreign policy you know. there is no criticism of the ministration to take so it is replying. to the criticism business coming from the u.s. citizen from all parts of the world by this fight for actually approach which is nothing short of bad that it is a saying you know you would do if we tell you or if you don't if you criticize us we'll break your leg you know this is a mafia approach this just nothing really to do with. foreign policy or a civilized diplomacy that is being conducted by the country but i showed china. donald trump and anyone trying to play the blame game right now the new york times is accusing the russian president of aiming the propaganda machine to discredit the
5:07 am
american health care system here's our senior correspondent we're galatea of covering that then this morning. nowhere in the world is it as bad as in america a quarter of the world's confirmed infected are in the states the economy's on the brink of ruin millions fighting in employment someone has to take the blame preferably someone thorne we want to look into the world health organization because they really. they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed the call blame the world health organization blame the chinese blame conspiracies and of course blame russia the decade of health information promoted by president vladimir putin of russia has certain white confusion hurt major institutions and encourage the spread of deadly illnesses the new york times lies right off the bat there is no widespread confusion in fact americans trust in
5:08 am
scientists and doctors has grown yeah off the year according to pew research a record 9 in 10 americans trust scientists and doctors and less than half of americans trust the media or the new york times apparently for good reason experts fear that it will foster public cynicism that erodes washington's influence as well as the core democratic value of relying on the facts as a basis for decision making the facts as follows in january it was the new york times that misled and misinformed potentially millions of americans about the pandemic telling them it's nothing to worry about and that the flu kills more people reaching an audience is far greater than any russian bought network given the check history of quarantines throughout history they have been used to persecute the marginalized lawmakers and the media should rigorously examine the
5:09 am
basis for any such restrictions. trump followed the advice he read in the. new york times delaying almost every measure against the virus from mass quarantine to international travel restrictions to the last moment a device that has potentially could tributed to the deaths of thousands of americans sure they apologized and admitted to being wrong but it was too late mr putin has worked hard to encourage americans to see vaccinations as dangerous and federal health officials as malevolent and here we thought it was a matter of public knowledge that the united states is the capital of the world's vaccine movement a movement that was birthed not by putin with the k.g.b. but by a british position who were really asli linked vaccines to autism the alleged autism vaccine connection is perhaps the most damaging medical 100 years even today masses in the united states refuse vaccinations because of the 998.
5:10 am
the reason it snowballed this because the media gave a controversial research paper ed including the new york times which gave a platform for conspiracy theorist and vax to speak the spite the overwhelming majority of the scientific community insisting it was nonsense it is absurd to accuse the n.y.t. of helping birth the anti vaccine movement 20 years ago but for some reason it's ok for the new york times to accuse others of spreading simulate this information the russian president has waged his long campaign by means of open media secretive trolls and shadowy blogs the regularly cost american health officials as patronize and frauds putin didn't put a trash bag on that nurse when american c. then says dressed in trash bags they lose faith in their system in their leadership
5:11 am
because their leaders who failed them because putin said so and. body and how we are sentient we just are we just have the right protection to be in that environment that is in the little bit 90 look at all the charlatans the bloggers the televangelists who are being watched by millions of americans is that putin do you see behind america's faith based medicine covered you going. on. was it puton or american politicians who cut funding for counter pandemic programs was it's russian boats who urged americans elderly to sacrifice themselves so the economy could keep running i think all of my my fellow grandparents out there are going to be smart we all want to live we want to live with our grandchildren as long as we can but the point is our biggest but our biggest gifts
5:12 am
we give to our our country and our children and our grandchildren is the legacy of our country we can go on and on about how american media and politicians bungled the pandemic caused untold suffering but we won't instead we'll end with this quote from the new york times itself it is worth remembering that disease or the fear of disease can bring out the worst in humanity and demick so often feet scapegoating jews were widely blamed for the black death creating a fertile field for demagogues the unity difference this time it's booted. legal and media on this line also is the same old story wrapped up in fresh coverage. 1st of all whenever you can slam anything russian you can do it and they do it because that goes back and feeds the thread of russian collusion and or
5:13 am
to anything that can be used to harm president trump in any way by again keeping this russian narrative going there's also something which is important they speak as though there is no alternative a theory or that there are no alternative believes as to the cause of this pandemic . the efficacy the safety of vaccines the source of the vaccines are the source of the pandemic there are a lot of people on and various platforms internet citizen civilian journalists foreign who are making leaves very questions who have this same degree of incredulity yet the new york times and the mainstream corporate media speak of it in terms of descent from asian they believe and they advance the idea that there is only one way to think about this disease or this pandemic i
5:14 am
should say that there is one way and that anybody who questions the efficacy or the safety of vaccines is an anti vax or anybody who promotes that maybe there might be something nefarious behind this is a tin foil hat conspiracy lunatic this is also part of their message so it's the same every time i have read this article at least 10 times at different times but just substituting new names and new accusations. the worst hit countries are also having to contend with getting enough hospital staff to treat the sick some are mobilizing medical students or bringing people out of retirement but in germany the health authorities are also appealing for doctors and nurses among the 1000000 strong migrant population as peter all of the reports from berlin. it's not that long ago that migrants were being talked about as part
5:15 am
of a crisis in europe here in germany deonte migrant feeling gave a boost to far right groups both in politics and on the streets now those same migrants are being called on to help with the corona crisis migrants with a medical background could well be crucial in making sure that there are enough doctors to help foreign doctors who sucks in the bud years have a license to practice medicine can cope with growing the virus care in hamburg where the number of confirmed covert 1000 cases rose sharply last week they've launched an appeal for help from those with the required training including medical students and care workers around a 1000 have already said that they would help according to social media migrants could well be a significant resource when it comes to medical expertise that a much needed at this time according to the facebook group syrian doctors in
5:16 am
germany there are as many as 14000 qualified doctors waiting to have those qualifications approved so they can help then you know on the move on my gynecologist and i've tried to use my time with purpose here in germany but unfortunately without success here in germany i've often heard there is a lack of doctors but in my opinion this is a big lie they say we need doctors but there are many here especially foreign doctors personally i've applied many times but there's always a problem of bureaucracy there creates a lot of harm for all of us now there are many dead because of the pandemic and i often ask how can i help but again and again i'm asked to fill out a form send an application no that takes a lot of time and time is very important especially in this situation the situation is a catastrophe. this groundswell of support for migrants coming to help their adopted
5:17 am
land isn't just a german thing in the u.k. there's a petition to grant british citizenship to all front line medical workers helping during this time this is a chance for the british government and public to show them how much we appreciate valuable contribution to our society opponents to angola merkel's decision to welcome refugees and migrants and 2015 said that they would be a risk to national security and the drain on society now some of those same migrants a set to put their own lives at risk in order to help germany at this difficult time peter all over r.t. . you know what she hopes international thanks for your company today the stories lined up for you off the right leg of this path that an assaulted wall trying to save lives the indian medical stuff facing increasingly violent attacks amid public panic over the coronavirus coming up.
5:18 am
join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true or what is fake.
5:19 am
in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowest. logan india is witnessing a surge in physical attacks against medical workers assaults of being reported nationwide with people afraid of catching the corona virus from medics or stigmatizing health care stuff with contract to themselves trying to help people the indian government earlier gave a public service announcement pleading for people stop turning against health workers so to say that being tracked down at home as well as facing violence and abuse or trying to do their job and saving lives.
5:20 am
and that dime think you know how we could save all lives my husband my keys my family members were in front of my eyes i wonder if i'd see them again not a single leader has come to say this attack was wrong. and we support you such a little down has never been done in our country you just put people into a frenzy in panic mode they think if they pocalypse we're not scared so from infection we were mentally prepared for that as in the q.b. tional cause it but getting beaten up that wasn't something we were mentally prepared for shocking though it is india's medical staff along being target the general secretary of india's resident doctors association says the discrimination and fear comes from a lack of public education and health funding aipac on health care professionals if not then you're phenomenon in india even before covered happened there out of money to predator port stuff doctors and their health care. and being
5:21 am
authoritarian on a day to day basis because of their poorly funded public health care system they carry very high lords of creation and i never bury the case of that event saved like off at the public if known to break the hospital properties and also i start doctor but this is started a new phenomenon but now considering the associated with the weight of this instance as have increased we actually are asking for a centralized legislation to protect health care about. by imposing heavy penalty on the perpetrator and also jail lake which exist in might differ in either country on tuesday or the indian prime minister extended the country's lockdown to may the 3rd thing that the measures will only be eaten in areas which do not show any deterioration to america's rick sanchez and michelle greenstein have been
5:22 am
discussing what it means for a country with a population of 1300000000. wired lockdown was extended today for another 3 weeks it was set to expire today but now it's set to go on until may 3rd that means until may 3rd all non-essential businesses that means anything except businesses like grocery stores and health services are must be closed so here's what that looks like i want to take you to some video of the streets of the city as you can see there really almost completely deserted so we have all non-essential offices markets places of worship are closed the construction industry has been shut down and public transportation has been shut down and. it really doesn't if you think about what the streets look like normally right this is india this is a very busy city in india the contrast is very drastic now police in a lot of these cities have really been charged with enforcing this curfew very strictly as you can see some people get beaten with sticks and all of the state borders have been sealed even for walkers so what that means is something really
5:23 am
significant especially in a place like india because what's happening with this coronavirus crisis and this lockdown is that the existing class structures are becoming even more obvious right so i'll give you an example right india's home to a lot of daily wage workers who have of course been jobless since the slop down began and. they call them very labor. come to work in the city to spend 3 or 4 days or sometimes the entire week then they go home for we come back right and they travel across the state borders to do so so many of these migrant workers right are losing their income they're losing their housing too because in some cases their housing is connected to their employment or their employers are simply kicking them out once it's locked down started and also because public transportation has been halted a lot of these people had to start walking back to their native villages but then because the state borders got shut down millions of these migrant workers are daily are now in these makeshift internal refugee camps so this is highly significant
5:24 am
because a lot of these indian states are actually were lying only on n.g.o.s for food and water at. of course this means that these camps risk becoming centers of illnesses or couldn't cope at 19 what you're saying is that they're in limbo i suppose qualls i refugees in their own culture in their own country internal refugees that's right so what's happening is not only is the existing class structure becoming more obvious because of this crisis the crisis is also intensifying existing class division in places like delhi for example has some of the most not just. dense populations where people are very close together absolutely that's why they were having the infestation that they were absolutely and of course like i said these existing class divisions are becoming more intense right so as one example of the situation india about 90 percent of indian children age 5 or less are already under norris straight so what does that mean for these families who now can't cross the state borders to you know provide their families with money and of course india
5:25 am
doesn't always have the best public health infrastructure in all places of the country so that makes a country like india especially vulnerable right but on the other hand we do have the example of big business is wanting to end the lockdown so the government may actually go and i'm direction because they may you know the influence by those industry is in the end it's really about having enough hospital beds 'd it's about having enough ventilators it's about and has a state of care workers and it's about having enough test rights i mean in terms of these there's too many people in many of these countries and this is why we're going to follow some of these things but they're you know they're doing what they can and i think this is the time to just try and support them and be as helpful as we possibly can with whatever information we can provide you know absolutely will us way things are looking for most of the 15th of april i'm kevin i will let you know they'll be updates every day from here these times to keep it totally posted on the latest world events and also a correspondence one because as you see the other studios around the world will be briefing you too as we continue our coverage you don't comment all of us social

5:30 am
the use of ventilators is something you've been particularly wary of you have to be careful clinically about the use of ventilators yes we need to up to to identify the patient what got us all to need to survive using them to date on that one but that will not because i were experience is that whenever you need. intubation with mechanical ventilation but he's been great in the later actually this is need it for quite a long time most of the time more than 2 weeks time and of course that this is very difficult if you are old if you've got many cool b.t.s. because that may happen that you die because other people beat it it's rather that grown up by dose of the star particular kind of hasta the cool abilities because this disease produces a huge england nation burden and of course of this make people who were excited about the risk of people you mention inflammation the national health service here in britain has been criticised for advising people to use ibuprofen is it your
