but it's a full 15 through watching out international these are the headlines today they came pleading for help now they're being asked to provide it themselves germany appeals for medical professionals among its huge micro population because of a lack of local health care what. donald trump cut she was funding to the world health organization accusing it of mismanaging the pandemic and conspiring with china while a congressional probe into the crisis will include the un bodies coronavirus response thus far. new york continues to be ravaged in the united states worst outbreak the new york times no turned its fire against russia blame the country for spreading the disease.

hello welcome to the program just turned 4 pm here in moscow this wednesday i'm kevin are in with this 30 minute will these round up for you and before we get underway with the stories pertinent to today let me update you on the grim. stats regarding corona virus this wednesday as it stands this hour the changing sad to say we've reached another bleak benchmark more than 2000000 infections have now been registered globally and over 128000 people have died but in terms of people who've recovered of course the numbers going up to snow were heading towards the half 1000000 mark here in russia. new record one day increase unfortunately with 3388 new cases declared on wednesday bringing the total to nearly 25000 in russia and almost 200 people are known to have died here from covert 19.

words to countries having to contend with getting enough hospital staff to treat the sick some are mobilizing medical students or bringing people into retirement in germany the health authorities are also appealing for doctors and nurses among the 1000000 strong migrant population there as your correspondent peter all over reports next 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 butt 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 who look on the who are madonna 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 frontline 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 angola 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. is my big east today president traumas to suspend the u.s. funding to the world health organization if he gets his way he's accusing 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 and 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 pandemic in 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 caused 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 bias 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 the show hasn't responded yet to trump said his ations put political analyst on drivel check spoke to us about it he likens the white house's approach to that of the mafia. it's a complete failure failure about there is one good think about it i think that it is that the wall this watching. i think the military stance 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 of the ministration could take so it is replying. to the criticism does this coming from the u.s. citizens 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 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. foreign policy or a civilized diplomacy that is being conducted by the countries flaker but i showed china. donald trump isn't the only one 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 american healthcare system covering up than our senior correspondent were guest here. 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

scientists and doctors has grown yeah 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 the 1st secure a kid in president putin's about to conduct 20 years nonaligned

a video conference with government ministers soon is going to say. that i was a government. ready a massive number of measures to be taken at the same time we agreed that as the situation develops we will be adopting more steps in that context. i believe that we need to include in the least the most devastated sectors and that is the small medium size companies the reason restaurants also small b. give carp an isp we do retail in food products they have a lot of problems. and that is why they should be included in the overall program for business support. this year based our agreements we've agreed to give small medium sized companies of the following 2nd

to. additional support direct financial help they will not need to repay in this state this money will be available for these companies to solve the immediate problems to pay salaries for example. to pay salaries at the level which they used to have and that will be covering which april and may. the sums which will be paid to the companies will be calculated. april the 1st. it will be $12000.00 per. month which companies can apply for these help and they will be entitled to every fast track process to do so they will need to file their application without any excuse without any unnecessary bureaucracy so. the government

which will be or receive the whole process of the companies will be able to send this application when you may requirement. save jobs not below the level of 90 percent of the employees if the company full feels that obligation that requirement and the government is scared to confirm that then the company will be tired too to get the financial help for april starting from may the 18th. so the money for may well come with june. responding the government has already. installed a program of for you 0 interest rate loans for 6 months for the companies to be able to pay salaries. but their measure has proved to be ineffective but hard to get a loan banks are unwilling to help people with their loan applications that is why

we believe that it is up to 75 percent or even more than 75 percent of so we should be guaranteed through the actually colombani the 4 rushes that will help other banks and that will make loads more accessible to the population and to and titties we believe that we need to help small cost of super and not only small companies but also medium sized and large companies so that they will not be firing people and the debt will not be accumulated all the salaries must be paid in full in a timely manner as for this critical infrastructure we believe that the. factories plants and companies should be including more companies that there are today these are the companies which are critical to our economy. even more than

1000 companies has economy just been added to the least they are there by. both of our economy and we believe that a new special loan product should be should and that is low and for companies to be able to add money to the circulation that will be a huge addition to their working capital to pay because a contract is they own the salaries but other. money that they are that will be a good help to critical infrastructure and to the companies who work with these critical companies. these money will be go into salaries and that will mean that the whole chain will remade afloat but that load will be subsidized by the state what i mean is that the real price of that to lows will be 6 percent less than the market value that we have seen before half of that loan will be chewed

through state guarantees through the ministry of finance of the russian federation . that is a good stimulus for banks to issue credit without any 2nd thoughts and that will also reduce the risk of the whole banking sector. as i already said we need to be gave more financial have to the regions especially those where incomes have been falling. we need to work at the regional level. it is at that level where people carry your huge burden and our regions who should have enough resources to fight that battle that is why we are. additional money to the regions of the russian federation there or some will be 200000000000 rubles. the region will be able to work flexibly with that money on their hands they will be allocating that money as they want in order to pay

benefits social benefits and salaries to state employees. what are you meeting colleagues. again i'd like to say that the situation is changing every day. all upon the government and local authorities competence and business ceased to keep your had on the policy you need to apply measures which had necessary and timely of course you can the situation made acquire a new solutions to be drawn in the economy and sector this when we need to be working on the solutions already today we need to accumulate as many resources as we can as we talked about that last week we talked about a situation in defense industry and the aerospace industry as well to morrow will happen separate meeting on the construction sector. in the immediate future will be discussing ways to help the car manufacturers agriculture utilities sector.

manufacturing. industry and other industries which also require help of course there are lots of problems today which is what it comes to be here transportation industry and that is why i believe there is a company's airlines should be given money to keep them afloat will be paying them 23000000000 rubles to help them with their working capital to help them pay salaries to the employees and pay for their air fleet week every of the pillars of our economy and it deserves to be helped and we have concrete plans to help them we have programs for the substitution of foreign goods and now let's proceed to our today's agenda but before that there is a number of immediate issues to discuss and i would like to ask the minister of

other g. to report on the outcomes of the plus group agreement reached recently please i gave you the floor. thank you mr bush colleagues. first of all most of us like to say that the dratted. was the outbreak and the measures staking by the global community by dividing us has slowed the economy message or oblique. as much as a result we've seen. major falls each demand on oil. that is why we had to supply measures to reduce supply in order to stabilize the global oil market so that there will be no big sat or oil transfer the collapse of the whole industry future the fall the demand that you

would believe that if further president putin is saying it and you see no giving live address to the prime minister and also the health minister there and a number of other officials but they branched off talking about the recent opec plus agreement that was reached to cut all production that's whole nother story again focusing on coronavirus what he's talking about there basically was a help to people here in russia at the moment help for small and medium businesses government support for them government support as well for the. for the banks as well. helping to give them insurance so that they could go on helping businesses and people he said salaries must be paid in full in a timely manner. he said more and more companies are being added to this list of essential companies here in russia no crucial for the national well being and productivity 200000000000 rubles he said was going to be handed out to the russian

regions to help them get through what they've got to deal with at the moment he said the situation is changing every day was urging businesses. people running companies to stay on top of what's happening here because of the it's a fast changing situation he said businesses have to keep up to make the most of the resources they've got he also mentioned in the air the airlines are such a tough time for airlines around the world at the moment he was going to offer 23000000000 rubles to airlines and to give them some liquidity to get through these bad times all right well that's it for now president putin sharing some remarks there about how russia is dealing with the current crisis i think we're heading to a break next.
