in the headlines this hour the u.n. children's fund haunted by potential measles outbreak with youngsters missing their vaccines because of the 19 pandemic we hear from the chief of immunization. a 117000000 children. are going to lose votes in the nation plan. had been rescheduled. from blind medics in the united states say that their lives are being put at risk by the government's failure to supply hospitals with protective gear. and small businesses and their owners in france say they merely extended lockdown to force them out of business leaving millions of people jobs.

good afternoon welcome here with your global news update this is r.t. international. let's start with the latest figures in the over 900 pandemic with more than 2000000 cases now registered world wide 135000 lives have been lost in the states has the highest death toll followed by italy and spain so far more than half a 1000000 people have recovered from the virus around the world. view. the u.n. children's fund has warned of a possible resurgence of measles because of the covered 1000 pandemic according to unicef millions of children are at risk of missing their vaccines follows world health organization guidelines issued in late march saying immunization should be postponed measles is an easily preventable viral disease according to w h

o targets at least 95 percent of people need to be vaccinated but many countries could fall short of that target if quarantine measures continue we had from robin and the chief of immunization at unicef he says that any vaccine delays must be temporary these $117000000.00 children that we estimate are going to miss out on measles vaccination 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 duty the diptheria protest is polio and so on busy so you know this our statement gives a snapshot into a much bigger problem that. we have in immunization aside from measles as a whole list of diseases that could reappear according to the gavi vaccine alliance they include polio and color robyn and the again says that after the kind of pandemic is over countries must not lose sight 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 pre corbett context this figure 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 are advised 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 lifted. please keep records of what. your child might have missed and please go out as soon

as possible to your nearest city. to receive these vaccines united states is registered to towns of $400.00 deaths from cover 19 in just the past 24 hours to high single day figure so far brings the total loss of life to more than $28000.00 national wind according to official data released $27.00 doctors and nurses have died from the virus but media reports quote much higher figures some medics have taken to the streets blaming the government for the severe shortage of protective equipment. what do you want to leave me. with. this probably took place outside a hospital in new york which has been devastated by the pandemic the city's death toll now stands at 10003 times more even than china medics carried signs demanding urgent action to get supplies of p.p.p. that's personal protective equipment where it is needed and emotions over the

protests with nurses saying that they are risking their lives government incompetence if. someone. just. what we needed. so i just don't know why us then dammit if you do in the us. come work. our way. let's just. let's think about the fact that the mount sinai bosses right now are in their mansions in florida while they're nurses and dying because they can't get the proper v.p. and they just don't give a damn they don't care about our lives the loaded the gun the played russian roulette with working people's lives with playing the consequence. well aside from the lack of protective gear medics in the us say that the health insurance system is putting people's lives at risk by a nurse an ace the system went viral on facebook smith 3 called the final words

that he heard from a patient who was put onto a ventilator and they were who's going to pay for it the nurse in question spoke with l.t. . and it was really sad because someone who is you know potentially going to die the last thing you should 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 the 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 new york is rapidly deteriorating an estimated half a 1000000 people have lost their livelihoods because of the pandemic and some are even unable to put food on the table auntie's 20 chavis 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 to want to get actually 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 decreases 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. medical supply firms in the usa mountains are being made worse by tariffs on chinese products on the region president trying to lift those restrictions going to open house the 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 the need 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 are desperately needed because hospitals have dramatically increasing the number of beds available for the in spate it surge in coded 1000 patients some special medical equipment for anesthesia cannot be produced without 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 gouged 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 that deal maker could be putting american lives at risk it would mop and archie new york we heard from financial analyst benjamin cho who believes that the u.s. needs to save lives rather than engage in trade wars and also from a professor of politics does have moni thinks that trumps in no position to relax the 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 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 his whole strategy at this point depends on trying to contain things until we get to the warmer months and hope for a vaccine is a silver bullet in your own greening tree warnock's a lot of 3 missing u.s. economists have already expressed an even either the economy is a curse pilots are continuing their piracy 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 that is a clear example of that the world wants join hands to quite their powers it requires country in fighting to drive is we determine the time victory otherwise

the virus free travel bag that other countries and train royce exactly against global stationing trade very tripe for the rose economic growth. plans has extended the nationwide shutdown to small business owners saying that millions could be left jobless more or less story after a short break. leinart market which i think is a great market to give an indication of where prices are weather heading the fact that beinart of something big and other auction houses has gone up dramatically over the past 10 or 1520 years spectacularly so it's not reflected in the price of

bread and sold it and now it's starting to be that way so that inflation that we saw in the high end products is down going to end up being in the staples like wheat bread food chicken i just saw somebody post a image of a chicken for sale somewhere that price was up 100 percent. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

record at its worst single day death toll from covert 90 more to 1400 fatalities were announced on wednesday that brings the total that to 17000 according to the health minister the spike in numbers this year to a delay in reporting after the 3 day easter weekend meanwhile the nation watches staking a severe toll on the french economy explains. this week president told 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. 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 here. what is happening now really has. got to the war where we actually do anything small businesses cafes 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 here 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 is 945 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 aided his employees onis like himself have been left in a tight jam. there's been no is that how as owners we're not salaried per se with both companies so at this stage there has been no help for us this is the 1st time in my life that there is that strange case of how i'm going to pay my mortgage how am i going to. do it 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 would be very hard to get out of it i think what would help us is that instead of just freezing social security just saying hey look you don't have to pay. his debt and that's probably one of our biggest expenses this is curious if they came out and said look see at the basis of security at all then that would give us the kind of hope that one sweet get back 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 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 from us a month now and one landlord in norwich posted a video showing a somewhat sad side i i i. i i. want to see those kids

a beer being took down the drain and according to some estimates 50000000 pints will go to waste if the lockdown continues throughout the summer we heard from the man in that video philip explained why he had to dump his supplies. the problem is that we had beer. that was opened and caught you just know that they would just go dance it down in our sailors so we had to pour it down the drain just to be able to dispose of it in that short period time that was 50 to 50 gallons of saddam being the richest of the big and our salaries we're looking at almost a 1000 gallons of being at that replicate across the country just. getting to the war system in the short term we can certainly look at. you know bales and people will flow through 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.

that there haven't been trading for quite as long as well established haven't quite as good cash flow so they out there are really really struggle. with british pubs and key tourist sites close normally busy sites are now looking deserted the chairman of the campaign for real ale nick can turn and believes many businesses won't make it through the crisis when we get through this crisis start to see. the pubs opening but not all of them are 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 the crew. their 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 up ups in more expensive parts who have got rights but use they don't call it they don't qualify for some of the rate relief and business rates really the government has given so small businesses so fully expect. some of our pubs not so reopen. well here in russia more than 3000 new cases of covert 9000 have been registered over the past day bringing the total to nearly 28232 people are known to have died from the virus and some new measures came into force this week in moscow anyone with a valid reason for leaving their home needs to have a digital pass meanwhile there's a large scale research effort going on nationwide to find potential treatments for covert 19 we heard from 2 specialists which are 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 the use of a vaccine requires an active immunity which can respond to a low strength microorganisms 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 18 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 and can say not only

copied 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 plasma transfusion will be used only for the seriously ill when it can possibly help rather than harm. well thanks very much for staying with we'll be keeping you right up to date on the. website as well as the various social media channels a lot of broadcasts from. london washington d.c. .

i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report yeah a lot of lock down you know i ran

a poll on my twitter account real max kaiser on twitter 95 percent of you said you want to report 4 times a week not just 3 think about that well that you have the power to make that happen make sure they know about it out there and you know network land and well we'll see what we can do so yes we're on lockdown the lockdowns continue and they keep on getting extended there is even talk of lockdowns happening into the summer here and the united states in the meantime we're getting a lot of vitamin d. we're hanging out in the sun outside we have a new report little image here and let us know if you like that but there is something that was in the news a remarkable screengrab from c.m. b.c. jim cramer show mad money and it was the epitome of it was basically just one image told the story of a 1000 episodes a kaiser report what we've been talking about this entire time and here's a tweet cantillon f.x. and it shows the image from c m b c in the background from jim cramer you can see the dow's best week since 938 and

at the bottom along the cairo on more than 16000000 americans have lost jobs in 3 weeks as we've been saying for a number of years that it does relate to the content effect and what does that mean that means that every time the government announces a 6 trillion dollar bailout that means a $1000.00 for the top 101 percent and a dollar for you and that's the cantillon effect the hedge funds and the private equity guys and the warren buffet's of the world get the money 1st to bid up their assets and their stocks and their bonds and their wealth goes up and then they get maybe a dollar of that $1000.00 to the workers who are actually keeping the economy running . getting workers the frontline workers the health care workers the delivery workers that are considered expendable and when you can toss around tens of trillions of dollars on a whim and the 3 and a half trillion dollars is collected annually in taxes is meaningless then they are

expendable bowl vats the reality of american workers have to come to grips with they are expend job all in an environment where the fed can give their friends trillions of dollars with no restrictions whatsoever this is another clear example as well of being an issue of distribution there is no shortage of money there is no shortage of credit there is no shortage of room on the federal reserve's balance sheet we see that now because when the hedge funds and private equity groups when they start wobbling because ever since back in repo something was going on but now we have them there are fracking debts defaulting we have the commercial real estate sector trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars trillions and the fed instantly is able to transfer money to them instantly in the other space where the rest of the 99.9 percent of the population lives.
