postponed measles is an easily preventable viral disease according to the w.h.o. targets 95 percent of people need to be vaccinated but many countries could fall short of that target if quarantine measures continue the response of robin nandy from leadership team of unicef measles and rubella initiative he says that any vaccine delays must be temporary these $117000000.00 children that we estimate are going to miss out on measles vaccination but over the next several months are. those children that will miss out on because planned mosque campaigns have been rescheduled or or temporarily suspended why have they been temporarily suspended because we do not want our delivery of immunization. to contribute to the spread of called it so we recommended

a temporary suspension of these mosque campaigns in addition to campaigns routine delivery of immunization services are also being hampered so in addition to me those children are not getting vaccines for other diseases like diptheria protests polio and so on so you know this our statement gives a snapshot into a much bigger problem that. we have in immunization. with such a measles there's a whole list of diseases that could reappear according to the gavi vaccine alliance thank you polio and cholera the nandi again says that after the current under makes of countries must not lay side of other infections if you talk about the entire world we estimate that there are. approximately 20000000 children. that are either unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated so these $20000000.00 are

unprotected to the end to the range of vaccine preventable diseases this is in the corbett context this bigger is going to rise. considerably and we rise more and more the longer this disruption persists the planning needs to start now what we don't want is is. you know a country affected by call that 19 recovering from the call that 19 outbreaks and then faced with an outbreak of vaccine preventable disease our advice to to parents is you know depending on what country you live in depending on what the. situation is you know follow the you know public health interactions you know provided by your ministries of health as soon as these restrictions are lifted. please keep

urgent action to get supplies of people personal protective equipment where it is needed emotions poured over the protests with nurses there saying that they're risking their lives due to government incompetence. what it. does i just don't know why the rest of it if you do and let us. work. our way. let's think about the fact that the mount sinai bosses right now are in their mansions in florida while their nurses are dying because they can't get the proper b.p. and they just don't give a damn they don't care about all. the loaded the gun the plead russian roulette with working people's lives with playing the consequence. with signs from the lack of protective gear medics in the united states say the health insurance system is putting people's lives at risk a post by a nurse

a nice the tist went viral on facebook the experience recalled the final words that he heard from patients who was put onto a ventilator they were who's going to pay for it the nurse spoke to r.t. . and it was really sad because someone who is you know potentially going to die of a lasting issue be worried about is how to pay for their health care it's speaks to a misallocation of fun you know we have almost endless discretionary spending for militarism. we recently just you know injected $1.00 trillion dollars into the stock market you know just that the years of that but when it comes to health care you know the constant question is who's going to pay for it which is the same question as the patient ironically. and you know it just shows where the priorities are i don't know that it's necessary to have a multi-billion dollar annual military budget you know which with our legit department of defense where i think a real honest effort to defend would be with providing care for our citizens

especially with the amount of people that just lost their insurance that's type of their employment as you know a lot of people just lost their jobs with this pandemic so the economic situation in your case rapidly deteriorating an estimated half a 1000000 people have lost their livelihoods due to the pandemic and some are unable to even put food on the table and to chevys reports from the city. today new york city mayor bill de blasio shifting focus to food insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic this crisis is now adding to that number of people who are food insecure every day because literally people run out of money every single day well over a 1000000 people in new york city where food and secure before kovan 1000 including one in every 5 children as unemployment grows many are going hungry we need to. keep our family eating. and we have to take a rest the mayor announcing a $170000000.00 initiative to fight hunger in the city $50000000.00 of which will

go to building up an emergency food reserve for back up saying that since the pandemic more than 500000 people lost their livelihood when it comes to something like unemployment the effects get felt more deeply week after week it doesn't all happen i want to guess she gets tougher as we go along so. i think what's coming up is going to be even more of a challenge and that's why we're preparing right now to feed everyone this while the city's homeless population seeks refuge with no place to go as new york remains the epicenter of the outbreak with over 200000 cases and more than 10000 deaths the city announcing that they plan to move 6000 homeless people about a 3rd of shelter residents from shelters into hotels by april 20th the coalition for the homeless saying that the move does not come close to meeting the scale or urgency of the need this will new york governor andrew cuomo along with governors from several other eastern states are working to coordinate the reopening of the region and its economy while governments grapple with how to reopen people on the

streets of new york have mixed feelings i know everyone in new york is so anxious to go back but we have to take things slow and. slow we take in more time we have to. go back to work in a safe environment and the death toll decreasing 600 to 800 people a day is still too high and has to come down way down before me to feel safe to get back on a train or do anything for while the curve continues to flatten in new york in neighboring new jersey the 2nd most impacted state cases continue to climb today the state has more than 68000 cases and nearly 3000 deaths governor phil murphy telling residents not to expect the lockdown rules to be lifted until june at the earliest reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t.a. . medical supply firms in the usa the matters are being made worse by tariffs on chinese products and their religion president trying to lift restrictions in the

more pronounced story. as the us emerges as the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic donald trump is standing firm on his america 1st policies sticking to a trade war with china over urgent and essential medical supplies that are now running short everyone has been discussing the requirements for more vents but no one is discussing vinnie's for patients when they are on the vents the sedatives and the 38th and paralytic agents demand and no supply partly due to a 25 percent tariff that's been imposed 'd and the trumpet ministration is not willing to completely lift it some of the goods produced in china are essential and cannot be replaced for example you've got chinese made fabric in bed sheets these sheets desperately needed because hospitals have dramatically increasing the number of beds available for the in spate it surge in code 9000 patients some special medical equipment for anesthesia cannot be produced without

a built in ventilators that are made in china at this point the demand is 10 times what is available and the price of hand sanitizer has also gone up due to u.s. tariffs. at the end of the day the consumer alten with police having to be price couched and pay a king's ransom for something we desperately need to give them and they can't afford to live without so sadly the tariffs have continued to drive into the pockets of february american consumer all the companies that are pushing for the terrorists to be lifted saying that it's necessary to fight the pandemic and american lives are at stake the us trade secretary doesn't agree in imposing tariffs on goods from china as part of the section 3 a one action the united states determines north impose tariffs on certain critical products such as ventilators oxygen masks and nebulizers in addition over the past year the u.s. trade representative granted exclusions for a large number of health related products notably the imposition of tariffs on

certain chinese imports has not resulted in an overall decline in the availability of needed medical equipment and supplies but experts say the terrorists have never really been fully lifted at this point $3300000000.00 worth of critical important health care products and only had the tariff reduced by 7.5 percent it seems that donald trump's obsessive opposition to china as well as his idea of wanting to appear is a deal maker could be putting american lives at risk it would mop and archie new york. we have a financial analyst spencer in china who believes that the u.s. needs to save lives rather than engage in trade was and also professor of politics just of my own he says that chumps in a position to relax pressure on china. there's been a lot of debate about whether or not we're seeing the emergence of a new world order and whether or not china is winning in this so i think that what we're going to see is. you know not a relaxing but a doubling down and

a commitment to this strategy of trying to limit and contain china that trump initiated once he took office finally i don't think trump is concerned very much about whether or not we're going to have supplies from china i think there's a whole strategy at this point depends on trying to contain things until we get to the warmer months and hope for a vaccine as a silver bullet you can see beyond reading the trade warnock's a lot of 3 missing u.s. economy have already expressed a view that even the economy is to 1st priority continuing their pirates' is the 1st task to do because economic value can only be created by people like us the 2nd quarter of this year is widely expected to contract 36 percent and then any rights basis and people are really losing their jobs for them it is a clear example of that the world wants to join hands to quite your powers it

recurs country in fighting to drive is we determine the time picture or otherwise to virus free travel bag to other countries and trade war is exactly against global stationing trade very tripe for the rose economic growth. has extended its nation wide shut down small business and is saying that millions could be left jobless more on that story after a short. anyone else seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape our. engagement. trail.

find themselves worlds apart. she still look for common ground. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. slow day or thinks. we dare to ask.

a come back francis recorded his worst single day death toll from covert 90 more than 1400 fatalities were announced on wednesday bringing the total to 17000 according to the country's health minister the hard numbers due to a delay in reporting fully the 3 day easter weekend meanwhile the nation was shutdown is taking a severe toll on the country's economy solid explains. this week president toll from the lockdown would and on may 11th while that means citizens will apparently be able to leave their homes and some businesses will we start that's not the case but you are some lonely people however public places restaurants cafes and hotels cinemas and museums will remain closed at this stage with no end date for when they can reopen some restaurants and cafes

are starting to stress this year. you know. through all the challenges that. arisen over the years with. strikes on the make sure the terrorists attacks and so we can always go in confidently. with what is happening now really has. to or we actually do anything small businesses cafe such as this the peloton and restaurants are seen as being the life blood of the national economy in france and that is particularly true in paris when they were shut down as being no one essential business is back in march some claim that that would herald an economic catastrophe and those warnings are serving true the worst figure in france in 1945 was minus 2.2 percent in 2009 after the financial crisis of

2008 we will probably be very thought beyond minus 2.2 percent this year the government has announced packages worth tens of billions of euros to help save jobs and prop up the economy but poor baron again says though this is a did his employees own this like himself have been left in a tight jam. there's been just as owners were not salaried per se with both companies so at this stage has been no help for us this is the 1st time in my life that there is that strangeness of going to pay my mortgage home. you know food on the table and so i guess the stress of that is real they are a business owner and i look at it. months probably before we're kind of in trouble business is feeling the pressure can apply for loans but paul says the interest

free period is only a year and he doesn't think taking on debt with so much uncertainty is prudent they can give as many loans to the cows come home. but it is but we don't want to do is get into too much debt because then i had this idea that it was very hard to get out of it i think what would help us is that instead of just freezing social security just basically saying hey look you don't have to pay. his debt and that's probably one of my biggest expenses is a sense of security since they came out and said look the c.e.o. and the basis of security at all then that would give us the kind of hope that once we get back and we don't have coming off. each month when cafes and restaurants reopen they may also have to contend with full tourists that will certainly hit hard hit in paris now added to that concern is that even the locals may be feeling

the pinch from the recession and less likely to part with a catch so perhaps treat such as a specialty coffee or eating out may be off the menu putting even further strain on small businesses such as these poll describes himself as being an entrepreneur and he told me that with the right help his business will pull through even if that means adapting and changing how they operate. but for that to happen it needs to start with one key ingredient clarity from the government so they can say that they are open for business charlotte even ski r.t. paris. pubs in the u.k. are facing a similar crisis they've been shut for almost a month now and one lung lauda norrish posted a video showing a rather sad sight i. i. took it down the drain according to some estimates

$50000000.00 pints will go to waste if the lockdown continues across the summer owners so they're still having to pay their rent and bills we heard from the man in the video philip explain why he had to dump his supplies. the problem is that we had beer. that was that was opened and you just know that he would just go to vent it better not cellars so we had to pour it down the drain just to be able to dispose of it in that short period time that was 5050 gallons or so being the rest of the data and our salaries we're looking at almost a 1000 gallons of being at that replicate across the country just wouldn't be feasible to get into the war system in the short term we can certainly look at. paying our bills and people that i will float for probably about 6 times but we've been well established

a fair number here as i work here since the age of 15 and that was 33 years ago at . this point that there have been trading for as long as one a step race haven't quite as good cash flow so dale didn't really really struggle. with british pubs and tourist sites closed normally business and so looking deserted the chairman of the campaign for real al nick antonio police that many businesses won't get through the crisis. which when we get through this crisis start to see. the pubs opening but not all of them is probably going to reopen initially so we could see if any else of the pubs available in an area 'd we could see come of some of the baker independent pubs not reopening because it's just not fun it's you know it will for the many people we could see some of the big pop code shots in because again licensees just can't make the business. because of the you

know the hates they've still got the get they the crew. the shop and then some of the relief that the government it's giving to 2 businesses in this country doesn't apply to all of the pubs specially those big ups in more expensive parts who have got rights but use they don't call it they don't qualify for some of the right relief and business rates relief that the government has given so small businesses so i only expect. some of our pubs not so reopen. in russia the number of covert 9000 cases is on the rise with 3448 new infections registered on thursday had brings the total to nearly 28232 people are known to have died so far from the virus the new measures came into force this week here in moscow a digital permit system is now in place anyone who needs the car or public transport has to carry a pass and there is also shattering the majority of non-vital enterprises for the

moment there are many talks about vaccines and other ways of possible treatment for example with the help of antibodies we discuss this with russian experts. the wages of all of them to give them any antigenic substances for a molecules are identified by the immune system to be removed by antibodies so when an antigen gets into the body sooner or later it will lead to the creation of antibodies and that's the basis of vaccination not the use of a vaccine requires an active immunity which can respond to a low strength microorganism injected into the body so that antibodies can develop the same process goes on in the body of an infected person so when we use the plasma of a recovered person we're creating a kind of serum that contains a large number of already developed antibodies it's passive immunotherapy which is then expected to remove the virus at the moment it's the only 80 logical treatment for the infection and it's difficult to say how many people it could save it's also a question of recruiting donors production the correct implementation there are

still many open questions because there's not enough experience of that method in use. sometimes antibodies from one person can cause serious complications because as you understand blood plasma can say not only covered 19 antibodies but also antibodies to a large number of other superficial antigens also one person's antibodies could cause a kind of an auto immune side effect that's why a plasma transfusion will be used only for the seriously ill when it can possibly help rather than harm. thanks stay with artie's we keep you brought up to date on all things coronavirus pandemic related viral websites social media channels and of course a lot of broadcast my studios here as well as london and washington stay informed stay with.

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. don't play you he cheated with. the really. tough guy he can be so easy to do the simple easy.

to take the safe rule sets off the next don't. you see the. sort of the. boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss friendship or in washington coming up airlines are getting a massive bailout from the u.s. government but what does it mean for the struggling industry we'll break it all down plus we'll take another look at the global spread of the coronavirus of an action taken by governments around the world and the markets are in the red again

and being dragged down by poor big performance we have expert analysis on hand to go over the details with a packed show today so let's dive right in. and a huge agreement has been reached between the trump administration and u.s. airlines for a bailout package in the billions included in the 2 trillion dollars stimulus package signed on march 27th was about 25000000000 dollars for the airline industry but until now the treasury department in the airlines had not come to an agreement on exactly how or under what conditions the airlines would receive that money now they greenman which came together. late tuesday includes warrants that could lead to the federal government owning equity stakes in the companies and requirements that 30 percent of the assistance would have to be paid back now according to treasury secretary terry stephen minucci and the airlines that will receive the funding include alaska airlines allegiant airlines american airlines delta airlines frontier airlines hawaiian airlines jet blue united sky west and southwest airlines

now conversations continue with airlines regarding their potential participation no that's of course what. joining us now to discuss is boom bust co-host and investigative journalist ben swan ben thank you so much for joining us today you know yesterday when we saw the reports of this all coming out it was interesting to see how it was written as the airlines have accepted this bailout they've they've done a gracious moment and accepted it but i want to start with the issue of repayment so far we know that about 30 percent of these bailout funds will be in loans and the other 70 percent will be in grants why exactly is that. that's where the acceptance part of this story comes from because the airlines didn't want to have 70 percent of these come in the form of grants and 30 percent in the form of loans they wanted 100 percent of them to be grants we don't have to pay any of this back because we're so important to america and to the economy of course they didn't get that deal so that's why they went ahead and accepted the 25000000000 this way but

here's what we know about it so and some of this stuff is just so rich.
