german government has to gradually lift the nation wide drop down saying that 19 outbreak is under control however refugee shelters that have seen infections rise for massively also. the largest state sponsor of pandemics and this is the 3rd or 4th pandemic that came out of china. u.s. politicians continue to blame china for one republican senator pushing washington to respond put sanctions on the holy fire rides from the east and to russia and all people from the celebration is that is despite promises to churches around the world to make the end of the coronavirus strict.

get even without international just going to that michael kay in moscow ok well let's start with the latest numbers then on the outbreak because confirmed cases have now passed 2300000 more than 159000 people have died from the virus and most of those fatalities are in europe and the u.s. so far just over 591000 patients have recovered from the disease. now the outbreak in germany does appear to be under control half a month long locked down according to the country's health minister germany has a much lower death rate than other major european countries and restrictions on movement are being partially lifted with some shops reopening next week however

a government spokesperson has stressed that caution is needed skip. the statistics there are no guarantees that the infection kovel keep flattening out there are also risks when we take these small careful steps into opening up we must keep an eye on the infection curve and what it means for our health system and our hospitals. as in many countries germany shut down has devastated the hospitality sector in dresden restaurant workers set out empty tables and chairs there on the central square to highlight the crisis they are facing i mean a people held a safe distance demonstration calling the lockdown disproportionate while most of the population there was staying safe refugees in shelters are at much higher risk as peter oliver now reports. as germany gets set to ease coronavirus restrictions not everywhere in the country has been successful in stopping the spread of the

virus some refugee centers have seen a spike in the number of cases at one in the south of the country almost half of the 600 residents tested positive this week do you feel mood and isolation we suspect that maybe people with coby 19 who've been in the facility for a long time and then they show no symptoms of the disease and that they could have passed on the virus the facility in but involved in bird houses people from nigeria iraq syria and turkey who are waiting to have their asylum applications process the action taken by authorities to this localized outbreak is causing concern they're seeing these people as a kind of threat and danger it seems to be an acceptable strategy to pack the police outside and make sure nobody comes in and nobody comes out another center not far from frankfurt there's a similar picture with around 60 residents testing positive out of 170 in the far northeast of the country the refugee council of mecklenburg west pomerania has

voiced some serious concerns about an asylum application center on their patch with ban bad required minimum distance of 1.5 to 2 meters cannot be maintained this is added and anyone who recklessly last people leave in a massacre mandation in this situation there have authorities in the region which just so happens to be represented in the bundestag by chancellor angela merkel have been quick to rubbish criticism of the way coronavirus is being tackled among asylum applicants in coordination with the health authorities every effort is being made to prevent the spread of infection within the country's primary care facilities and in community commendation in the current emergency situation infection control. asylum seekers and the population is a priority that comes as berlijn is quite rightly being praised for having tackled coronavirus nationally in

a robust and fact based way on friday health minister yen spahn described the situation in germany as under control if you. have moments to bring the dynamic growth to linear growth the infection numbers have decreased significantly relative increases from day to day the outbreak has now become manageable and controllable again ultimately what these localized outbreaks in asylum sent to show is that if you drop your guard for just a moment when it comes to fighting or trying to stop the spread of this virus then it will be exploited peter all of our r.t. berlin. president now says that he expects between $60.65 americans to die of covert 19 that is those substantially less than his previous estimate of 100000 the president claimed the country's infection rate has paid and he's revealed plans to to gradually ease the lockdown. as more. white house pushing to

get the economy moving again our approach outlines 3 phases in restoring our economic life and we are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time issuing new guidelines to get the country up and running the 1st phase officials must see a 2 week decline in the number of people with cold it symptoms and the percentage of people testing positive for the virus must also decrease than face to allowing all non-essential travel school activities and elective surgeries to continue some states will be able to open up sooner than others. but hard hit new york and new jersey have to wait state continues to see an increase in covert cases new york governor andrew cuomo extending stay at home orders he calls new york pause until may 15th but it could be longer what is the final conclusion of this our great

chapter i still believe it when we have a vaccine with more than 226000 infections and more than 16000 deaths new york is still seeing around 2000 new cases a day city remaining the epicenter of the outbreak officials working to open testing sites in the city's poorest and hardest hit communities so we're talking about folks in some of the lowest income communities in the city people in communities of color that have borne the brunt of this crisis immigrant communities while governor cuomo is issuing an executive order directing all public and private labs in new york to coordinate with the department of health to ensure prioritizing of diagnostic testing he says that's still not enough to test the millions of people needed to reopen new york's economy we don't have a testing system that can do this or there can be ramped up to do this one. we don't have a public health casting system by the way it's de minimis if you look at what our

government departments of health have we need a clean. approach between the federal government and the states right now the main testing lab for the state can perform about 300 antibody tests per day while officials believe they can grow that number to 2000 test a day in the coming weeks with nearly 20000000 residents in new york the governor says the state needs all the help they can get from the federal government. meanwhile u.s. politicians continue to blame china for the pandemic and the republican senator lindsey graham has suggested too that washington should punish beijing with sanctions. the largest state sponsor of pandemics this is the 3rd or 4th pandemic that came out of china what should we do to the largest state sponsor of pandemics on the globe which is saying. well since the corona virus 1st appeared in december numerous conspiracy theories have flooded the internet an idea that the virus was created in a bio weapons lab in we and has gained widespread coverage in the u.s.

media and on trump and his administration have been more than willing to fuel the speculation. that a lot of people are looking to seems to make sense they talk about a certain kind of bad but that was it in that area if you can believe this is what they're doing to know is vets but that is not in that area that was installed is that what zone it was insult there that bat is 40 miles away so a lot of strange things are happening but there is a lot of investigation going. we know they have this lab we know about the wet markets we know that the virus itself did originate in a way so all those things come together are still a lot we don't know said though a member of the white house coronavirus task force has debunked the theory of the virus being created in the lab and the fact she here who is a leading expert on infectious diseases said the pattern of mutations shows that

the virus jumped directly from an animal to human meanwhile china has the u.s. to stop making claims with no scientific basis. officials have repeatedly stated that there is any evidence that you corona virus was produced no tree many well known medical experts in the world also believe the so-called liberal elite hypothesis has no scientific basis. for a foreign secretary has echoed to the anti china rhetoric coming from washington said that it can be no business as usual with beijing after these crises and that hard questions do need to be asked about how the outbreak started journalist daniel is believes the playing gang being led by dong trump is merely a way of deflecting responsibility. clearly what we're seeing here are charges that are are political in nature i mean trump has mishandled this whole crisis so

damsel. america has gone to many a few cases having more cases than any other country in the world in a matter of 2 months and trump has been contradictory half hearted ineffectual saying one thing one moment and another thing another moment since this crisis began so clearly just trying to strike out at a distract attention from his own bismo record and by attacking china that's just plain as the evidence so far as again the the allegation that they're really fighting an uphill battle they have nothing to go on it's really is based on pure anti chinese hostility. now as millions of orthodox christians around the world celebrate easter the holy fire has arrived in moscow from jerusalem due to the lockdown restrictions though in the capital the traditional meeting of the file which usually brings in thousands of the faithful was cancelled $50.00 will be

delivered to the main russian temple the cathedral of christ a savior where the pantry arc of moscow and all russia carol will hold the easter service holy fire is lit annually at the church of the bones and this event attracts thousands of pilgrims to jerusalem although it isn't happening this year poor slayer has more on the ceremony that did take place. the holy fire has always been a symbol of hope hope that the end of the world has not yet come but this easter the most significant religious holiday for some 300000000 people things are different this easter is different we will not go to our villages we will not barbecue in our yards we will not go to our churches and of course we will not gather in the homes of relatives and friends for us to continue bringing together this year we stay apart there are no good fido positions no hags and kisses no joyous celebrations that christ has risen this is the main church where the miracle

takes place but it is closed as part of a nationwide lockdown it's all part of the government's attempt to push back on the coronavirus and as a result is banned all mess gatherings something that has the country's ultra orthodox jewish community up in arms. i do not think that right now. i all across the world churches urge people to pray and stay at home some churches even live stream through social media other christian communities celebrated easter 7 days ago with pope francis praying alone in st peter's square many christian churches urge programs to spend this holy day at home. now russia has rejected more than 4700 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours this is the highest single day increase so far and the death toll now stands at 313 here in moscow the mare has

updated to digital past system as part of the lock down which had some glitches earlier in the week but is now fully automated sysctl or as mine. 15th of april new measures which is used here in the capital which is suffering the brunt of the creative virus in russia essentially has now a caste system which means that you need a passport everything specially to travel to and from what now the must commit today announced that passes do will be extended until the 1st of mange he did also admit that the imposing of the past is jim didn't have its steve thing issues at the very beginning. so the main issue that we sold out was the time that was needed for forty's to physically check each and every part of it which is why as part of the new match starting from the next wednesday the 22nd of may when everything will now be done

and in china automatically so here in moscow there's a card with detroit cut that he used to travel on the metro from next wednesday you have to link your travel permit to that card so essentially if you don't do that and put your car down and try to get what the bar has just went open and be allowed to travel through we also saw a build up of cars especially in the size 24 hours of process don't was introduced we had stories of people waiting for up to several hours as authorities very diligently checked through all that documents that also is going to be made much more efficient because now cameras will be checking in scanning which cars have the right how it's and which don't now us against the plan and that's the moscow magic you recognize of course this is not done for one. nation it is causing quite natural and psychological distress to a lot of people but that it is necessary and that it is bringing results so in that mix he said that while the numbers of rising in russia that are actually not growing exponentially 'd and he actually to pad moscow to new york because their

cities are roughly the same population and he said that's so thought here in russia managed to avoid the development of that american it's. noria. is a report now the u.n. is warning that economic hardship caused by nation wide shutdown could actually cost more lives than the coronavirus itself will have a look at why in a couple of. years. welcome to max kaiser financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let this average you watch kaiser report. join me

every 1st week on the all excitement chill and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those great. dares thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome back in with our team now the head of the un's world food program has warned that the economic shock of the covert 19 pandemic could in some countries actually be far deadlier than the virus itself he says at least 30000000 people are risk of dying of starvation if critical funding is cut on quarter has more on the story. as the world's battle with the coronavirus rages on one has to wonder what will happen when the smoke clears tens of millions of people are already dependent on the un's world food program for meals if that were to lose funding all of those people would be threatened with starvation if we lost all funding a minimum of $30000000.00 would die over a 3 month period that would be 300000 people dying per day that's why leaders have got to balance out the response with keeping the economy going because otherwise a lot more people will die from starvation and economic deterioration than from cope itself even before the pandemic the world had

a serious food crisis on its hands the world economic forum says that over 820000000 people were going to bed hungry now many organizations are indicating that the situation can get much much worse we fully agree with the 1st just because of the measures that they can place the police report but we also believe that will gun pulled their food chain. to be able to hold up by low for consumers to move the potential risk over on the north and of course it's a crisis of the international markets under the lockdown the very supply chains of transnational corporations are breaking apart food can't be processed delivered or received between countries within countries everywhere for the developing world that means famine could be just around the corner especially now that humanitarian relief is also being obstructed by the lockdowns widespread poverty

a reliance on imported food and rising prices are all a recipe for disaster according to the united nations for the millions living in lockdown countries that fit that criteria is running out across africa clashes between hungry people in the police are already taking place. was. many governments of the developing world are struggling with a terrible dilemma see their people die from the coronavirus or see them die from starvation while in the developed world of the main dilemma is containing the corona virus through look downs and then dealing with the economic impact in the developing world apart from containing the virus and dealing with the economic crisis the biggest worry now is people dying of hunger that doesn't mean the journey from farm to plate isn't obstructed in the developed world in the united states dairy farms are dumping thousands of gallons of milk a day because they can't be sold at the same time retailers are fearing

a shortage of milk and they're limiting the amount that consumers can buy as for fruits and vegetables $5000000000.00 worth had been wasted for the same reason one of america's largest pork processing plants has even been closed because of the virus very close you have this facility combined with a growing list of all the protein plants that have shifted across our industry is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of all meat supply and it is impossible to keep all grocery stores stalked if a plant not running the chaos of the free market is rearing its ugly head in more ways than just one week by week millions more are flocking to unemployment lines and food banks the early indicators of a global food crisis are there before our very eyes we should ask ourselves how much farther can the global food supply chain bend before it breaks when we spoke to a senior economist at the un's food and agricultural organization he told us that the

crisis needs a concerted international response. then people who stay home and work as a stay home does obviously create disruptions to. value chain for food no food gets harvested then it has to be processed then it has to be put on the shelves obviously there may be disruption in this in this line because of the lockdown and because of the fact that people are little physical workers cannot probably move around from one place to another so that is want to the problem and the other sort of problem is that not of people especially poor people if they don't go to work they don't have any don't have the money they cannot buy the pool we are talking about also countries where man nutrition already is huge government would need to have you know finances of safety net to be able to reach these people and to make sure that they have the minimum food is really needed the problem is these countries cannot afford it so they need help they need support and the help has to

come from the richer countries if the richer countries today are very much engaged of course for their own people the message from the f.a. always do not forget the poor ones because it's a problem is not resolved globally he will come back and haunt everybody again. britain's culture secretary is pleading for people to quote buy a pipe as the newspaper industry fights was being called his biggest existential crisis in history however online media including newspapers web sites are rising popularity with people under lockdown said the u.k. mainstream media has attracted criticism amid accusations of politicizing the kind of a daunting crisis with a look at that his hugo should the. when it comes to the british media and their coverage of the coronavirus pandemic lately there's been a heavy focus on russia's actions that's not in a good way you keep outlets have been criticizing everything from moscow's domestic

response to its action on the international arena coronavirus in russia anger is spreading no wonder libya putin is still isolating put in 6 political point scoring 19 world crisis coronavirus what does from russia with love really mean so yes they've managed to put a negative spin even on russia sending aid to other struggling countries also there's been a discrepancy in how the u.k. media have been reporting very similar stories depending on whether or not the originates in russia take sky news for instance the outlet there's been painting a grim picture covering how the kremlin is said to monitor citizens movement to prevent the spread of the coronavirus at the same time the story about the u.k. government working on a cracking up got a positive vibe also when it comes to the british call that 1000 response criticism

of the boris johnson government has been going hand in hand with encouraging headlines like praising the n.h.s. and reporting on how the royal family is beating the disease some outlets have even been defending the initial herd immunity strategy which was later scrapped for quarantine measures after the situation got out of control russia and again even the aid it sends abroad doesn't get the luxury of recognition among u.k. media that's amid a severe crisis in britain's newspaper industry the pandemic has sent their ad sales into a nosedive and there are fears that some simply will not be able to survive well straight through the media has become very tame recently in the last few years not . only. tends to journalists the quality of journalism has dropped and a lot of journalists simply take these press releases from whatever government ministry and just regurgitate out even understanding that time russia east

presented as the big demon as it was has been. the point is that because of the britain's failure to deal properly with the crisis is why we have already $15000.00 deaths compared to russia's $300.00 is an element of world jealousy envy plus i have to say diversionary tactics to take away attention from what's going on in britain because they started much too late we've got enough equipment people who need treatment for other diseases are dying etc etc use of possible statistical manipulation so because of our failings we're simply exporting the problem to the usual target i mean in short i always written would simply look at what the russians doing and said ok well done chaps. quickly other world news now and a crew from the international space station has returned earth to find a very different situation to when they left a team of u.s. and russian members did land safely kazakstan earlier after spending more than 200

days in orbit as a precaution against 19 they were greeted by attain had spent a month under medical observation however amid the global lockdown the space travelers could find it a bit tricky to get home eventually one cosmonaut does need to get to moscow and 2 astronauts to need to get back to houston in texas. elsewhere resident $100.00 neighborhood have found a new way of communicating at the same time each evening they step back onto their balconies and wait what city chevre 2 friends came up with the idea because they lived on the same street but were unable to leave their homes and the idea has split from caught on spain has lost 20000 lives the coronavirus making it the worst country in the. band. in jakarta has 2 medical robots assisting frontline health workers there each robot can deliver medicine to patients rooms allowing doctors and nurses to keep a safe distance in uneasy as over 5000 confirmed cases of cope with 90 with almost

500 deaths. and that's how things are looking so far today here in r.c. always good to have become please don't forget can keep across the latest developments on our social media pages and you tube channel and of course will have around the clock broadcast from our studios here in moscow but also london and washington to stay informed stay with us. when i was sure seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day attic. and in again trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she still looks for common ground.

oh max kaiser this is the kaiser report the response has been overwhelming people are demanding for stacy's caraway kaiser report and you know as we continue with the lockdowns and the bailouts because of the lot downs from the coronavirus couvade 19 pandemic situation sweeping the world fairness is what justice really is and that was a quote from potter stewart who was a supreme court justice member sandra day o'connor took over for him afterward fairness is what justice really is so as we look at these bailouts and the lack of fairness that we've seen. since the intervention of the fed days so say in

1907 when the plunge protection team and alan greenspan came to the rescue of the bad bets made on wall street chicago. and ever since and we've had more and more and more unfair system it starts off a little bit unfair and as we see like a little change of direction way back then in history becomes a huge gap we see that with the wealth and income gaps and we see that with every single crash and the subsequent bailouts gets worse and worse towards the very wealthy and the connected so when we've already covered the trillions going to the banks instantly and the fact that the ordinary person is struggling to well you know waiting desperately for the stimulus checks to arrive to them the measly little ones you know when the fed is buying these collateralized loan obligations you have to realize that 81 percent of them are owned just by j.p. morgan wells fargo bank of america and citibank just.
