that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and you know the streets. to deal with jobs don't buy dog on. wednesday april 15th says are to international headlines today they came pleading for help and now they're being asked to provide it themselves germany appeals for medical professionals among its huge migrant population because of a lack of local health care workers. donald trump cuts u.s. funding to the world health organization accusing it of mismanaging the pandemic and conspiring with china while a congressional probe into the crisis is said to include the bodies corona virus response. and new york continues to be ravaged in the united states worst outbreak the new york times noted it's fire against russia blaming the country for spreading the disease.

hello there welcome to the program which has turned up 1 pm here in moscow this wednesday i'm kevin knowing with this 30 minutes we'll use round up for you and they start with the numbers making for grim reading this wednesday sad to say they've reached another bleak benchmark more than 2000000 infections have now been registered globally and over 127000 people have died in terms of people who've recovered that's now heading towards the harsh 1000000 mark here in russia the latest is not great news there's a wreck order one day increase with 3388 new cases declared wednesday bringing the total to nearly 25000 almost 200 people are known to have died from covert 19. so today's other developments the worst hit countries are having to contend with

getting enough hospital stuff to treat the sick that's a global thing some are mobilizing medical students others are bringing people into retirement but in germany now the health authorities are also appealing for doctors and nurses among the 1000000 strong migrant population as our europe correspondent peter all of our reports from berlin. it's not that long ago that migrants were being talked about as part of a crisis in europe here in germany the anti 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. 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 but 100000 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 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 we're going to colleges 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 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 their invaluable contribution to our society opponents to angular merkel's decision to welcome refugees and migrants and 2015 said that they would be a risk to national security and a 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. berlin. and the big story that came in overnight president trump said to suspend

the u.s. funding to the world health organization he cues is the u.n. agency of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and supporting what he calls china's disinform ation troubles who accuses the w.h.o. of mistakes which led to many deaths the united states accounts for more than a 5th of the w h o's budget. struck in 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 china to suppress important information related to the corona virus and demick of the middle of january it parroted in publicly endorse 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. into playing 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

be exploited and if you want to have many more of. what he 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 of 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 adamant that china is to blame and that 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 the world health organization hasn't responded to traumas like his ations but political analysts under the white house his approach to that of the mafia everything's. it's a complete failure failure about there is one good think about it i think that it is that the wall the small chink. i think the military sense of millions hundreds of millions of people will be told to discuss that and they will understand what is behind the us foreign policy hold the us is conducting actually the foreign policy

you know. there is no criticism of the ministration can take so it is replying. to the criticism business coming from the us citizen from all parts of the walls by this fight for actually approach which is nothing short of bad that it is a saying you know you will do it we tell you or if you don't if you criticize us who break your leg you know this is a mafia approach this is nothing really to do with. foreign policy or a civilized diplomacy that is being conducted by the country slake or russia or china. all the time donald trump isn't the only one playing the blame game the new york times is accusing the russian president of aiming the propaganda machine to discredit the american health care system covering that today our senior correspondent. 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 unemployment someone has to take the blame preferably someone far 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 a decade of health information promoted by president vladimir putin of russia has certain white confusion hoods major institutions and encourage the spread of deadly illness is the new york times lies right off the bat there is no widespread confusion in fact americans trust and 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 demonstrably 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 czech history of quarantines throughout history they have been used to persecute the marginalized lawmakers and the media should rigorously examine the basis for any such restrictions. trump followed the advice he read in. 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 the k.g.b. but by a british position who were really nice link 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 snowball

the reason it snowballed this because the media gave a controversial research paper. including the new york times which gave a platform for conspiracy theorists and vaccines 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 sea then says dressed in trash bags they lose faith in their system in their leadership because their leaders have failed them not 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 that putin suit is he 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 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 this pandemic caused untold suffering but instead will 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 polluted. legal and media outlets lionel says it's the same old story wrapped up in fresh coverage here. 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 never 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 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 journalist 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 dissent from asian they believe and they advance the idea that there is only one way to think about this disease or this pandemic i should say that there is one way and that anybody who questions the advocacy 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. some simonis plus one of the afternoon here in moscow hi the this is kind of prophet right look at this spot on the soul to try to do the person save lives and help people in the medical stuff facing increasingly violent attacks amid public panic over the coronavirus.

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 show business i'll see you then.

hi good afternoon india as witnessing a surge in physical attacks against medical workers assaults are being reported nationwide with people afraid of catching the corona virus from medics or stigmatizing health care stuff of fortunately contract for themselves trying to help people the indian government earlier gave a public service announcement and pleading for people to stop turning against else workers doctors say they've been tracked down at home as well as facing violence and abuse while trying to do their job to save lives. ok.

at that time i resumed i think you know how we could save all lives my husband my keys my family members when 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 will support you such a low down has never been done in our country it has put people into a frenzy and panic mode they think it's the apocalypse we're not scared of infection we were mentally prepared for that as an acute patient because it but getting beaten up that wasn't something we were mentally prepared for it is medical staff of long being targets they had general secretary of india's resident doctors association told us that discrimination and fear comes from a lack of public education and health funding. i pass on health care professionals if not then you phenomenon in india even before the covert have burned out of money to predator ports. and that has. and being

authoritarian on a day to day basis because of their poorly funded public health care system they get a very high. end and been of a very sick a self that even saved like off at the public if known to the hospital for 4 days and also i started off so this is not a new phenomenon but now considering the associated with the way test this instance as have increased actually asking for a centralized legislation to protect health care about. by imposing heavy penalty on that better but at best and also jail life which exist in my paper and i bet attendees. will choose to have the indian prime minister extended the countries look done to me the thing that the measures will only be eased in areas which do not show any deterioration to america's rick sanchez and michel greenstone have been 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 walker so what that means is something really 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 a very labor. come to work in the city to spend 3 or 4 days or sometimes the entire week very going home for and 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 because a lot of these indian states are actually relying only on n.g.o.s for food and

water and. of course this means that these camps risk becoming centers of illnesses or including 1000 what you're showing is that they're in limbo i suppose. refugees in their own country 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 dense 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 norrish 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 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 businesses 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 date on care workers and it's about having enough tests right 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. well that's why things look at more d.c. studios and also from here in moscow as well this 15th of april i'm kevin i will let you know the updates every day from here at these times for you to keep you posted throughout all this also a correspondents and anchors is just seen in the other studios around the world will be briefing it too as we continue our coverage r.t. dot com of the last social media is updated around the clock at your service and if

you've got to get any breaking news straight to your device as it happens so for now you stay safe and well and for all of us here in russia thanks for watching and have a great day. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one percent of those great. military thinks. we dare to ask.

has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be said to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. humanity is on the edge of the precipice thanks to continuing destruction of the natural world. who just seem laid out a lot of bills that's a completely secret losing much of

a later period. where you get the piano's it. lets them everything you can hold up. the bank. i think that all of the war for 30. years. of dealing in the muslim world as i am will book you. and stuff and ship them through that. human activity has brought us to the brink of the world's 6th major extinction of it and the people in this film just can't take it anymore.

hello and welcome to cross where all things are considered i'm peter all about how has the pope in 1000 pandemic changed the international system now have u.s. trainer relations been altered and is the west experiencing buyer's remorse over globalization. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest read like unship in prague he's an american journalist in the czech republic where he's been covering the pope in 1000 pandemic in europe along with china's response previously he's worked as

a journalist for telesur and a contributor and massive our news and in new zealand we cross to james bradley he is the new york times number one bestselling author of the china mirage as well as host of his own pod cast untold pacific hi gentlemen crossed out rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated this talk about the u.s. china relationship during this pandemic and most importantly after it james let me go to you know we here with donald trump with his threatening words there will be consequences of course that is undefined to this point here and i can understand the traumatization that people are feeling in the united states i would say it was a lack of preparedness and just the nature of the medical system in the united states that one has to look at but on the international stage threatening words are being made so what do you think instead of trying to root out what donald trump has in his mind which is almost impossible to figure out what do you think people.
