other thanks for joining us here with your global news update this is art. stop with the latest figures on the covert 19 pandemic almost 2200000 cases of now being registered across the world 147000 lives have been lost united states has the highest death toll followed by italy and spain and so far more than 550000 people have recovered from the virus globally. let's turn 1st this hour to russia which has seen a sharp rise in corona virus cases with $4000.00 infections registered over just the past 24 hours that brings the total in the country 232000 in $273.00 fatalities the president has postponed the annual victory parade on red square that was due to take place on may 9th this is events would have marks 75 years since the defeat of nazi germany speaking late on thursday vladimir putin said that the

pandemic has made preparations impossible. if you. we're now 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 haven't posed yet still high that's why i cannot start the rehearsals for the parade under the public gatherings. of the president i went on to say that the parade will go ahead later this year it's been an annual event in moscow since $995.00 attended by world leaders and veterans of the war says 2012 russia and many other countries around the world of the immortal regiment commemorations on the same day they honor their relatives who fought in the war on the senior correspondent run against the f. takes a look at the importance of the event. the 75th anniversary of hitler's defeat the

destruction of the nazi abomination 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 were to be truly grand leaders from all over the world had been invited it was

a global sacrifice in part the scale of the commemorations is supposed to remind us all of. how many will last a catastrophe never to be repeated most russians have relatives 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 horrors and agony of the 2nd world war this was supposed to be their day the indians to the still we were waiting for liberation hope saved us we kept holding on to the end of my clearest memories are from when the soviet army came to liberate us it was very moving we never thought we'd survive but life is life the pandemic caught us all off guard

that runs groups were among those that came out and cooled 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 honored 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 that's 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. just at the anniversary this was extremely important 75th anniversary of the great victory in world war 2 and it's had

a spode 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 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 that it's not just about the spread of the crime drama consortium about the risks to the participants on the program partly please the overly voxer and i'm down it would be there were big hurry through to perth that turns who survived the most corrosion of fighting in world war 2 in the pariah so i think it reflects. upon them a producer mark how much russia and russia of god church the

lies the surviving draft terms of the great country and it was. france has europe's 3rd highest death toll now from covert 19 the total standing at almost 18000 but the number of new delhi cases that has been in decline for several days president mccrone is calling for schools to reopen by mid may but many teachers think about movies premature shiela do can skew how small. schools could start to reopen from may 11th that was the announcement from president might call prompting a wave of criticism not just from teachers 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 is premature children do not necessarily follow instructions they will naturally play together and risk bringing the virus home that criticism seems shock but perhaps given that almost in the same breath mark or announce 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 here 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 hold off on that amount

only too many children notably in poor areas in the countryside are deprived of school without access to digital tools. since schools closed in march teachers have few educating their students online there 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 it flies that they should take a break that you stop holidays the one teaching union there is a clearer motivation behind the return to school we have the impression that we are being 1st 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. get what we are waiting for keisha mr schorr 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 there's a 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 $19668.00 people out of almost 2000 on board the goal which is currently docked off the country's south

coast and it's not the only nato ship to suffer such an outbreak. of the. media. respond the risk to sailors lives the nato secretary general believes that the real danger lies elsewhere and stoltenberg has accused adversaries including russia of

trying to exploit the pandemic. security challenges have not diminished because of call the 19 on the contrary potential adversaries look to exploit the situation to further their own interests terrorist groups could be emboldened we see a continued pace of russian military activity our operational readiness remains undiminished and our forces remain ready vigilant and prepared to respond to in the thirty's we spent a retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel he 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 not normally the age group of soldiers or an ornate the servicemen so you know it's not that dangerous per se like in terms of life and death but in terms of operational capability yet bethink because if a 3rd of your crew is sick and not functional then your ship is not functional well

he'd like to think that social distancing and things like that that work with those things are not going to be possible on a close quarters ship of any type 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 it was 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. u.k. farming sector is in the grip of a staffing crisis due to the pandemic and hundreds of workers are being flown in from romania to cover the shortfall each year the u.k. needs around $90000.00 seasonal workers to harvest its fruit and vegetables but the sector has received only 5 and a half 1000 applications this year most of those coming from within the country most of the applicants we're talking about have no experience in farming i told

them from the sustainable food industry cannot function without foreign labor the promise definitely would like. 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 work. there is a character of. people who have specific skills. tried to bring it all due to undertake this exceptional work and i would argue that. people harvesting vegetables and fruit and doing coke for work or highly skilled all but probably should be allowed to travel the best workers we ever heard of eastern europe and they had a fantastic work ethic and they were highly skilled and they had a really positive attitude where the romanian workers are being brought to the u.k.

on charter flights the company arranging the transportation is said that all passengers will have their temperatures checked and that they will observe social distancing but there are no plans to test them because the 19 patrick holden again says that it's unlikely the farm workers will pose an infix infection risk. oh the fear should be the other way around this war like he probably for a group like the group coverage the united kingdom contracting the virus the other way round 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 much as i said this cross at the risk of transmission especially if it were larry's. unemployment in the united states is at its worst level since the great depression some billionaires that were doing better than ever

hoping that story after the break. one else just seems wrong. but all roles just don't call. me i'll get to see her out just to come out to. and in detroit because of the trail. when so many find themselves well supplied we just on the common ground.

hamazon retail heroes will continue to do everything ok and. healthy safe and protected many say that amazon has not been working to protect its heroes the company has been slow in working to ease its paid sick leave rules and it's been behind on providing personal protective equipment and social distancing at its facilities are reports suggest that as many as 74 amazon employees have been infected while on the job and beginning of march i seen some ploy become sick around me in a domino effect some know what for tea they would dizzy some of the army that their stations they couldn't finish fitted out with a ship. that was very alarming was very scary the only been protective start april so that doesn't really help the situation i mean may help slow down but the virus

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 are capitalizing on the coronavirus to capitalizing off the expense of a workforce that capitalizing on. 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'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 are of even all around the globe is blood money this is greed is nothing more than just green and though they should have been using this money to help out the medical field said aletta lane is right

. restraint is not provide testing for their workforce. the kind of us pandemic has revealed severe shortages of medical supplies to some of the world's most developed countries the lack of ventilators masks but thousands of lives at risk in my culture looks at how the 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 rushes or raw saddam and its subsidiaries decided to prepare for similar scenarios at home. which was what is what is 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 it's and he started 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 $5000.00 of the

vows 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 going to more than 2 hours to print 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 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 health care a company that quickly adjusted to the current demand for some state corporation has the cutting edge technology week safe and environmentally friendly it's traditional flood troyer most medical supply this country recently needs at the southern health care we were just on its today's edition of medical mystery is there in high demand you know 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 and it will plant products and other goods as well

today however medical masks and vials for virus transportation are the priority employees here are working in 3 shifts around the clock trucks full of crucial products for doctors fighting did 19 make deliveries through this moscow 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 stars 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. he's. starved

it was such it put it there of course i hope that 3 d. printing will evolve 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 call and there were one who has a similar quitman to kind responded with form the team and together we're trying to speed up the process for staying with us here on r.t. internationals we keep you right up to date on the coronavirus pandemic viral website r.t. dot com the usual social media channels and of course our live broadcasts coming to you from our studios in moscow london and washington state informed stay with r.t. .

kind of economic growth rate that there's going to be one can be expected through the pandemic has run its course almost the beginning changed accounting to me is the only chance of returning to pretend any fish. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be set to. price at the . grocery dependency and addiction to opiates to long to use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that. the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually because we want to.

match geysers financial survival guide link with those that you can confirm is exactly why these only. to keep in mind know as a team into place. or. there are a lot of lawmakers in the state of missouri that we know huge financial contributions from agricultural industry groups those are the groups that opposed proposition b. and there is no doubt in our minds that those same groups pressured lawmakers to overturn proposition b. and before the session even started there were bills that were pretty filed to do just that you feel bad because it was repealed but you know all of your work. has made a dramatic difference for this so i mean just the fact that over almost half these facilities are out of business who could have envisioned that things are definitely much improved with many of.

there are so many issues out here. this neighbor. church. and i'm responsible. and i think this is where. we individually. as producers. as consumers i think for the public very clearly you know you have a choice in the. store.

to fix it. if you can't. at 1st it was i wanted.
