it's since all of that change moving into the future our whole value system is so shifted and change. as president postpones the upcoming 75th anniversary victory day parade due to the coronavirus for the world war 2 commemorations will still go ahead later this year . french teachers and doctors criticize president micron's plan to reopen schools by mid may call your premise sure and dangerous. also a french aircraft carrier is the latest nato warship to suffer an onboard outbreak of covert $960.00 general installed burke says he's more worried about russian aggression.

hi there thanks for joining us here with your global news update this is r.t. . let's start with the latest figures on the covert 900 pandemic more than 2100000 cases of now being registered worldwide 147000 lives have been lost the united states has the highest death toll death toll followed by italy and spain so far more than 550000 people have recovered from the virus globally. let's head 1st to russia which has seen a sharp rise in coronavirus cases with 4000 infections registered over just the past 24 hours that brings the total to 32273 fatalities the president has postponed the annual victory parade on red square which was due to take place on may 9th this year's events would have marked 75 years since the defeat of nazi germany and speaking late on thursday vladimir putin said the

pandemic has made preparations impossible. you know me we're facing a tough choice the 9th of may is a special day for us but the life of every single person is priceless too to hold the parade on the 9th of may we need to start rehearsals now but the risks posed by the epidemic as well as its peak which we have imposed yet still high that's why i cannot stop the rehearsals for the parade and other public gatherings the president went on to say that the parade will go ahead later in the year it's been an annual event in moscow since 1995 attended by world leaders and veterans of the war and since 2012 russia and many other countries around the world of the immortal regiment commemorations on the same day these on are their relatives who fought in the war marty senior correspondent ryan gets the it takes a look at the importance of the event. the 75th anniversary of hitler's defeat

the destruction of the nazi a bomb a nation at the price of tens of millions of lives a few short months ago the very idea of pursuing commemorations the parade the march of the immortal regiment would have been unthinkable to so many russians this is the biggest day of the year a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the generation that stopped hitler and for which they are ordered every year. the diamond jubilee this year's parade and commemorations would to be truly grand leaders from all over the world had be the invited it was

a global sacrifice in part the scale of the commemorations is supposed to remind us all of how many were lost a catastrophe never to be repeated most russians have a relative a grandmother or grandfather who died in that war yet through their children every year they march again in victory. veterans to the precious few left those who remember the horace and agony of the 2nd world war this was supposed to be their day ginsu the still we were waiting for liberation hope saved as we kept holding on to the end my clearest memories are from when the soviet army came to liberate says it was very moving we never. thought we'd survive but life is life the pandemic caught us all off god

that's ruins groups were among those that came out and called for the paraded commemorations to be pursued as it became clear the infection wouldn't spare russia reason conscious prevailed the parade will still happen when it's safe the heroes of the greatest generation will still be on the 9th of may there are already plenty of ideas from online immortal regiment marches to shoes but for now and for the 1st time in a quarter of a century the stands on the red square will remain empty and the veterans will stay at home at home but on and in the hearts and minds of the world we heard from journalist neil clark and historian mike jones about the significance of postponing the parade. this wasn't just any anniversary this was extremely important 75th anniversary of the great victory in world war 2 and it's had to be

postponed which is very very sad indeed because i think that this was an event that would have people together not just people in russia but around the world to mark this commemoration and it just shows you what's happening in 2020 it seems that we've had a whole list of events now we've lost the european football championships the last major sporting events and now we've lost this so i think it's very sad but it's not just about the spread of the climbdown a consortium about the risks to the participants on the program particularly the overly hurts her and dad it would be there were big hurry through to her that turns who survived the most corrosion of fighting in world war 2. so i think it reflects. the part that makes but adores her how much russia and russia of god church the lies the surviving draft terms of the great war

. france has europe's 3rd highest death toll from cover 19 now standing at almost 18000 the number of new delhi cases has been in decline for several days the president is calling for schools as a result to reopen by mid night many teachers i think that's a premature move shall dubin ski explains schools could start to reopen from may 11th that was the announcement from president not growing prompting a wave of criticism not just from teaches but doctors too this choice reveals an absolute lack of logic it is very difficult in a school environment to enforce social distancing measures and now the 1st environment that the president wants to reopen is the school environment how does it no longer carry the same risks. well the federation of french doctors says it's

worried the target date could generate an unnecessary risk and it's premise sure children do not necessarily follow instructions they will naturally play together and risk bringing the virus home that criticism seems shocked but perhaps given that almost in the same breath that court announced that restaurants bars cinemas and museums would not be reopening until further notice that's left some teachers groups reeling. who are we going to return with young children and adults packing the small classrooms 20 square metres maximum the school cafeteria is a crammed with 500 people inside it's completely incoherent to leave bars and restaurants closed because of 20 people yet at the same time open a school with some 502-1500 students one of macro given reasons for reopening schools gradually was to fight against social inequality or don't follow them on

only too many children notably in poorer areas in the countryside are deprived of school without access to digital tools. since schools closed in march teachers have fear educating their students online they have been public television services broadcasting lessons to the nation yet despite these new concerns from the government about students for ling behind the education minister genre show blanca recently advised that they should take a break in the stock holidays for one teaching union there is a clearer motivation behind the return to school we have the impression that we are being hurt in the auto of the economy it seems like the school is being used to the big childcare service so that mom and dad can go back to work that's also the belief of the teaching collective the red pens. this is an irresponsible decision

driven by economic interests life is more important health is more important than the economy. the red pens also say there needs to be a concrete plan to protect not just those who work in schools but the pupils to. what we are waiting for is a move viable situation mass testing including immunity tests mosques in large quantities and although i won't be ready in $26.00 days it's impossible a full plan hasn't yet been formulated about how schools will reopen schools will though be disinfected and full classrooms will be out of the question that's according to france's education minister shore michel but for many teachers the devil will be in the details will they get face masks how will they enforce any social distancing that still mandated and if as longer says the return will not be

obligatory how can the government be sure that the most deprived students well actually come back to the classroom show but even ski arty paris $1.00 and $3.00 sailors on board a french aircraft carrier have tested positive for covert $9668.00 people out of almost 2000 on board the the goal which is currently docked of the country's south coast so the only nato ship either to suffer such an outbreak.

despite the risk to say listen allies the nato secretary general believes that the real danger lies elsewhere stoltenberg sic used adversaries including russia of trying to exploit the pandemic the security challenges have not diminished because

of call the 19 on the contrary potential adversaries will look to exploit the situation to further their own interests terrorist groups could be emboldened we see a continued pace of russian military activity all were operational readiness remains . all forces remain vigilant and prepare to respond to in the thirty's we spoke with a retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel who thinks that france should have learned from america's recent experience of an on board outbreak the group that is most sickened by this is normally the age group of soldiers or. servicemen so you know it's not that dangerous procedure like in terms of life and death but in terms of our operational capability yet bethink because if a 3rd of your crew is not functional then your ship is not functional well

he'd like to think that social distancing and things like that could work with the that those things are not going to be possible. close quarters ship but i actually am surprised that the navy doesn't seem to have reacted and learned from that type of situation because we had that months ago and we get see how we see handled and also what the vulnerabilities were very much a bureaucratic response as opposed to real leadership it seems a little too little too late. the u.k. farming sector is in the grip of a spare finger crisis because of the pandemic hundreds of workers are being flown in from remote here to cover the shortfall each year they're going to kingdom needs around 90000 seasonal workers in order to harvest fruit and vegetables but the sector has received only 5 and a half 1000 applications this year most of those from within the country most of the applicants have no experience of farming or to cold and from the sustainable

foods trust says that the industry cannot function without foreign labor. the farmers definitely would like that remain to come and indeed they'd be coming here for quite a few years. in the same way that all the eastern european countries would also provided the workforce to harvest all vegetables if relation to what is being called essential workers there is a case for. people who have specific skills. travelling in order to undertake this exceptional work and i would argue that people harvesting vegetables and fruit and doing cultural work or highly skilled people and probably should be allowed to travel the best workers we ever had came from eastern europe and they had a fantastic work ethic and they were highly skilled and they had a really positive asked suit. there were many workers are being brought to the u.k.

on charter flight the company arranging that transportation assert that all passengers will have their temperatures checked and that they'll observe social distancing but there are no plans to test them for over 19 and holden again says that it's unlikely the farm workers will pose an infection risk. the fear should be the other way around this more likely probably for a rope like that riposte cut which the united kingdom contracting the virus with the other way around the super safe once the provision for testing becomes more widely available one way of insuring against the risk of transmission between countries would be to have a positive release system where the workers were tested to cope it before they returned personally i would imagine as i said this cross at risk of transmission especially in rural areas. unemployment in the united states is at its worst level since the great depression however some billionaires are doing better than ever

will bring you the full story after the break. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond sure i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics or business i'm sure. i'll see you then.

percent since its low on march 23rd in line musk bill gates warren buffett mark zuckerberg among others are the real winners of the pandemic meanwhile 22000000 americans are newly unemployed these billionaires capitalizing on coronavirus to capitalizing off the expense of their workforce by capitalizing off human life is a life or death situation in. the way these policies are made your work or your workers on the front lines have to continue to go to work in order to pay their bills or stay home and be unpaid and it's not it it's not right it's not fair it's blood money that's what i call the money that's being made by the billionaires for the entire time dependent is in this country our area of even all around the globe is blood money this is greed is nothing more than just greed in though they should have been using this money to help out the medical field said unless elaine is

right. disparate provide tests for their workforce. the coronavirus pandemic has revealed severe shortages of medical supplies in some of the world's most developed countries the lack of ventilators a mask but thousands of lives at risk are looks at how the problems being tackled here in russia. artificial ventilation operad us or mechanical ventilation systems are essential when a patient reaches a critical stage still the machine requires a lot of consumables something that many hospitals around the world lack russia's iraq's saddam and its subsidiaries decided to prepare for similar scenarios at home which was his words so why did we start to produce it a week ago there was high demand for vowels like these in europe and especially in italy when the number of patients dramatically increased i'm talking about patients who need mechanical ventilation apparatus private companies and its least often

printing 3 d. models of the valves we decided not to wait for such a problem in russia we have enough power reserves to produce up to 5000 of the vows if there is demand to get more materials and we will be able to produce tens of thousands of them to supply many medical institutions it's a going to have more than 2 hours to friends these into or valves well before they get taken to a customer i have to do one more thing. put them in a solution. and now they are ready to be delivered to various officers he is a mechanic all ventilation systems this 3 d. printing lab doesn't limit themselves to producing valves for mechanical ventilation systems they're also making other elements that are now in high demand what interested it interested me in particular were simple things for everyday life something like this guess what of this is for this is to press an elevator button to go like that and some other things like this one for example what do you think

this is for well this is to open the door if you don't want to touch anything and of course i think this particular engineer was a little bit bored he created something like this means the coronavirus 3 d. printing is one. of many projects of russia as a result of a health care company that quickly adjusted to the current demand but sometimes they are persian have a cutting edge technology book weak safe and environmentally friendly traditional flower troyer medical supply this country argentina it's at the southern health care we've already started it's to these issues of medical mass is there and higher demand now last week were also stars as their decision was made to google group equipment for collecting storing and transporting by materials all could be going to this sterilization center has always been sassed with

disinfecting medical devices edible plant products and other goods as well and so they however medical masks and files for virus from sports ation are the priority employees here are working in 3 shifts around the clock trucks full of crucial products for doctors fighting big 19 make deliveries to this mosque or region sensor 247 the turnover is already high but here they're ready for more significant numbers. in april out goal is to sterilize 150000 sample test kits in may 300000 kits and starting from june we want to sterilize $550000.00 every month as for masks we can sterilize 10000000 a week but the targets are 60000000 the coronavirus reached russia much later than the rest of the world given its time to prepare and stock up it's hoped that

advanced knowledge and timely action will help prevent large scale fate how it's he's young and it was such a pity that course i hope that 3 d. printing will hold most importantly it should benefit us we don't want to have a situation like twas in different parts of our planet where everything was produced in a hurry with me to cool and there were one who has a similar equipment kind responded with form the team and together we're trying to speed up the process. it's in our international thanks staying with us as we keep you right up to date on the corona virus pandemic via our website that's r.t. dot com all the various social media channels you might use and of course our live broadcasts from studios here in moscow as well as london and washington d.c. stay informed stay with r.t. .
