wednesday april the 15th this is art international these are the latest headlines from us this hour take a 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. making headlines again cutting u.s. funding to the world health organization at least that's his plan accusing it of mismanaging the pandemic of conspiring with china or the congressional probe into the crisis will include the u.n. bodies bodies. and those new york continue to be ravaged by in the united states worst outbreak the new york times turns its fire against russia blaming the country for spreading the disease.

by their welcome to the program just turned 3 pm here in moscow this wednesday in with this 30 minute world news roundup for you and 1st let's talk about the coronavirus numbers them a grim reading this wednesday sad to say we've reached another bleak benchmark to report to you more than 2000000 infections have now been registered globally and over 127000 people have died in terms of people who've recovered of course that number going up as well it's no heading towards the half 1000000 mark here in russia unfortunately there's been a new record one day increase with 3388 new cases declared on wednesday bringing the total to nearly 25000 almost 200 people are known to have died from covert 19.

so of course the worst hit countries having to contend with getting enough hospital staff to treat the sick some are mobilizing medical students others bringing people to retirement but in germany the health authorities are also appealing for doctors and nurses among the 1000000 strong migrant population there as a europe correspondent peter all of the 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 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 do 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 but 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 germany there are as many as 14000 qualified doctors waiting to have those qualifications approved so they can help then you know for me who are me going ecologist 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 here 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 over r.t.

berlin. president trump has to suspend the u.s. funding to the world health organization he accuses the un agency of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and supporting what he calls china's disinform ation troublesome accuses the w.h.o. of mistakes which led to many deaths he said 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 genic 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. 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 please 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. body bags. then you do it now it's also important to note that republicans in the u.s. congress have announced 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 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. well the average joe hasn't responded to trump's latest like his ations political analyst andre vulture exposed to us and likens the white o's his approach to that of the mafia. it's a complete failure failure about the there is one good think about it i think that it is that the wall this watching. i think millions tens of millions hundreds of millions of people will be told to discuss that and they will understand what is behind the u.s. foreign policy how the u.s.

is conducting actually the foreign policy you know. there is no criticism from the ministration can take so it is replying. to the criticisms as it's coming from the u.s. citizens from all parts of the walls by this spiteful 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 is nothing really to do with the. foreign policy or a civilized diplomacy that is being conducted by the country but i showed china. don't try and put in the only one trying to play the blame game at the moment the new york times is accusing the russian president of aiming the propaganda machine to discredit the american health care system at the moment he's our senior

correspondent. where 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 smart we want to look into the world health organization because they really are. 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 a sudden white confusion hood's 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 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 checked 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 seems 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 in the k.g.b. but by a british physicians who were really nice leaning 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 ad side including the new york times which gave a platform for conspiracy theorist 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 to 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 secrecy of trolls and shadowy blogs the regularly cost american health officials as patronize ing 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 who failed

them not because putin said so every. we are special we just are we just have the right protection to be in that environment that is the little bit 90 look at all the charlatans the bloggers the televangelists who are being watched by millions of americans is that putin to say 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 its russian ball to the 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 the 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. difference this time it's putin. illegal in media around this line and spoke has about it he says it's the same old story wrapped up in fresh coverage here. first 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 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 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 dissent from asian they believe and they advance the idea that there's 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 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. base watching today muslims ahead of the break because they spot saddam assaulted while simply trying to save lives and help people store about the indian medical stuff facing increasingly violent attacks on them amid public panic over the coronavirus.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made of the shallowness.

comments of calling 1000 pandemic change the international system the us train of relations been altered and is the west experiencing buyer's remorse when you lose a. leg and india is witnessing a surge in physical attacks against medical workers the sold so being reported nationwide with people afraid of catching the corona virus from medics or stigmatizing health costs. of contract to do it themselves the indian government only gave a public service announcement and pleading for people to stop turning against health workers doctors say that being tracked on a home as well as facing violence and abuse was simply trying to do their jobs to help people and save lives. ok or her 7. at that time i was only thinking of how we could save our lives my husband my keys

my family members when front of my eyes i wondered if i'd see them again not a single leader has come to say this attack was wrong and will support you such a lockdown 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 or closet but getting beaten up that wasn't something we were mentally prepared for we may be surprised to hear india's medical staff have long been targets the general secretary of india's resident doctors association told us the 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 authority

on a day to day basis because of their poorly funded public health care system they get a very high loads of patient and benevolent barry the case of that even the lack of staff the public is 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 is have increased we actually are asking for a centralized legislation to protect health care about. by imposing heavy penalty aren't the better but at best and also jail life which exist in my different countries on tuesday the indian prime minister extended the country's low down to maine to serve other measures will only be eased in areas that don't show any further deterioration because rick sanchez michel greenstone have been discussing what it means for a country then 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 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 because a lot of these indian states are actually relying only on n.g.o.s for food and water at. of course this means that these camps risk becoming centers of illnesses

on clued in coven 1000 what you're showing is that there are. 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 nora strait 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 valentine's day don't care workers 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. yet totally rikan the team they're not d.c. studios over to our london bureau and that's it out see h.q. of all sco a corresponds not because all round the world will continue to brief use this whole thing goes on but for now that's the way things are looking from moscow so far this 15th as i i'm kevin 0 in letting you know 2 they'll be updates to these times every day and check it out see dot com right of us social media to keep up to date on that one something as well for now stay safe stay well and have

a great rest of the day. before. anyone else shows seem wrong. well just don't. get to shape out just stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person with those words. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be sent to the price that they pay was their 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 it might be causing long term.

humanity is on the edge of a precipice thanks to continuing destruction of the natural world. we just seem laid out a lot of gives us a call for secret losing much of a later period. where you could get a little bit. less than nothing you can hold up. the but. i think that all of the war 30 or the the bottom one. only dealing with the unknown national polls as a. ship them through the.

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. greetings and salutations here in the united states we lost conservatively conservatively more than 12000 individual souls to the code 19 virus and that number is only going to rise by the time this tragedy has run its course mainly because our political leaders failed to act when they should have in the wake of the tragedy hard questions must always be asked and here in the united states of

america one of the most important questions begging begging to be asked of our great elected officials from donald trump to nancy pelosi to mitch mcconnell is why did you allow this to happen why did over 12000 americans die on your watch especially when you spend 1.5 trillion dollars of our tax dollars on national security this year alone the trumpet administration secured a near record $750000000000.00 in defense spending but what kind of security are you buying us one a simple virus can crush our economy and health care infrastructure in just a few short weeks naturally the most common answers we as citizens get in return when we ask these questions is either a litany of spoiled toddler like finger pointing like the kind we witnessed this week when u.s. president donald trump tried to claim his an.
