with over 100 frontline health care workers reportedly dying in the u.k. from covert 90 medics are urged to complain online about shortages of protective gear and testing kids home saying outrage. has a consistent record all. peach i should than the british i should have released those before clinical concerns and safety issues. question doctors say they have successfully helped to treat coronavirus patients by giving them transfusions of blood plasma from those who have recovered we visited one of the hospitals using this technique. blood plasma with crucial antibodies that will hold those who are

right now perhaps in critical condition by killing the new disease. under lockdown in the french capital with from a paris is poorest suburbs registering some of the highest mortality rates from covert 19 in all of france also i heard. a stop the export of these viruses from china the virus was spawned in china as the largest state sponsor pandemics. washington ramps up the pressure on beijing with threats to sue china over the pandemic that the thought of trying says he'll cut only u.s. ties to a chinese for all of which was the significant financial support from the obama administration. a very warm welcome to you york watching r.t. international with me the care and let's begin with the latest. there's on covert

19 since the outbreak of the new virus in december last year over 2500000 have been infected with it is the number of fatalities currently stands at over 178000 but more than 701000 people have managed to recover from the deadly disease. the u.k.'s health secretary has responded to allegations that medical staff are being gagged saying they are free to raise their concerns during the pandemic the n.h.s. trust issued new social media guidelines to it start outlining a list of topics to avoid at all 6 them to refrain from tweeting about political issues including shortages of p.p. and testing kits but staff are encouraged to praise the n.h.s. is hard work volunteering initiatives mental health campaign a terrence o'shea ses the situation will affect the morale of frontline workers.

it's not a coincidence that guidelines were issued by probably a mental health trust in the united kingdom with the west reputation and the worst relationship between. because and management. it just excessive bites nor where they. poor situation well i think if we look at the response to the corona virus outbreak in the u.k. . it's brain ball shift and perhaps one of the reasons why the u.k. has been cited sleights reacts to the coronavirus is because the and i share this has a consistent record all saying it's its reputation and reputation of ministers before clinical concerns and safety issues transparency is

a must if we are to stop these dreadful out by like. the british medical association has gone to the doctors lives are being put at risk bind dangerously no levels of pain and amid the shortages the n.h.s. has changed disguised lines advising medics to reuse gowns and aprons ponton unions to call for an independent inquiry into the government's handling of the crisis they say the lack of equipment contrary to the deaths of over 100 health and cast offs so far in the past and the gates kovac 19 and chestnuts lammy bennett says hospitals all not following best practices. post-school i worked with they were not prepared to supply the basic surgical masks however i did know that i could see that some. some staff were able to get a p.p.a. filtration laws in some circumstances i was actually working with 2 patients that

were put tested positive and i was supplied to the surgical mask which will not protect me when i'm in the room with a patient and their coffee and flour and i didn't feel comfortable with that but like i said when i raised it as an issue i was told that that's how they do it in that particular trial and i found myself in a bit position where my own safety was compromised but i think a lot of healthcare workers we do tend to work more towards their outcomes for our patients so we're not in a in a situation where oh well almost forced to be working in unprotected it's very difficult when you know that the outcome of a patient could depend on you leaving the shift to make the department sure. in russia the number of corona virus infections keep thore with some 5236 new cases registered the total number of people who have died from the virus now stands at

515 well meanwhile russian medical staff are exploring new ways to help coronavirus patients recover one thing that appears to be working is blood transfusions 3 patients were discharged from a moscow hospital after they received blood plasma from people who were cut from perfect 90. don off talk to some of those donating their blood. plenty of russian hospitals have been briefed purpose countries partially to treat those who have fallen sick with covert 90 but right now we've come not to where the patients are but those who have been cured have come to donate their blood plasma blood plasma with crucial antibodies that will help those who are right now perhaps in critical condition are battling the new disease.

my friend you had coronavirus in recovered was asked for a blood test because doctors need blood plasma from those he successfully recovered from the virus and i decided to donate my blood to it because i also got over the coronavirus and wanted to help. how did you play out japanese symptoms. yes i had symptoms it went by the book but 1st i had a fever followed by a cough. do you believe it's of significance what you're doing here right now you have. the question of the promo yes as far as i understand this will help the doctors they save this blood plasma transfused it will help critically ill people. but rule blood plasma can be used for treatment just yet 1st it has to be processed

all potential bacteria and other viruses that is in that they have to be destroyed and it happens here. ringback we have 10 to 15 people donating plasma today we don't know how much russia will need as we don't know how huge the peak of the pandemic will be but based on what is expected in moscow what is happening now we will need 202250 donations a day and that's just for moscow plasma has already showed its effectiveness we have seen the 1st recoveries however more time is needed to say if the effect is proven.

so how were you examined before this procedure on august they took a blood test come i think and discharge me from hospital. well they say they are expecting you back in 2 weeks time yes there's the if they're expecting me then of course i'll go back. to the jewels but it would stick in cities all the pandemic we were doing $20.00 to $30.00 tests a day at the institute now we're doing $2500.00 tests every day. so it's covered 19 is indeed the invisible enemy as they say this right here is the front. the civil resistance. i just wanted to correct myself earlier i said the total number of people who had died from the virus in russia was 515 when the actual number is

530 do apologize for that now moving over to france which remains europe's 3rd hardest hit country with more than 158000 cases and more than $20000.00 deaths or despite the nationwide lockdown some of paris's poorest suburban areas have seen violent clashes between the residence and police. and in northern suburbs of paris tensions were high tense by the collision of a local motorcyclist with a police car over the weekend fireworks were used on the streets and police used tear gas to disperse the protesters or the protests spilled over into the neighboring area where the mortality rate from a coronavirus is one of the highest in france artie's shallow depends he has more on the situation in the affected area. what we found out in the last few days is how inequality in if you will poor means that if you have 19 you're more

likely to suffer as a result and even die let's take cents on to me which is one of the tourist northern suburbs of france it's one of france's smallest departments and now new figures from frances it is dick's agency all see shows that it also has one of the highest mortality rate from cope with 19 in all of france this health crisis throws a harsh light on the territorial inequalities of which the unit habitants. are victims this is an area that synonymous with poverty the people who are working or working as delivery drivers or cashiers in shops or home help or care home workers meaning that they are more likely to come into contact with more people which means their move risk of catching. the area's describe what's going on in this department in france as being akin to a social emergency. and sounded the alarm over sense on the people are starving i'm

shocked that in a country as wealthy as ours the authorities do not provide better support but also let's exacerbating the situation in. fact it is an area that also has a lot of shanty towns they have. but it by rumor communities and also by immigrants in these areas that have chronic conditions this school war led one charity medicine to more and is concerned that the residents here could face their own epidemic on the we're facing double health crisis in the slums because one can ruin a virus or people will have big problems to get access to health care and also because the basics access to water access to toilets are not yet efficient in old shanty towns well of course people can access medical care like the charity work that meds and demand is doing but even when they do access that they are facing an uphill struggle sensible to me is

a twelvemonth as some of the fewest intensive care beds in the whole of the country so if you need access to an i.c.u. to intensive care it will be less likely that you'll be able to get that the lockdown in france has been very strict and it is difficult for many people but if you're living in squalid cramped conditions in a shanty town then it really must be pretty unbearable and the fear is that 19 the pandemic isn't just widening inequality in areas like sense on to me it's actually pushing people into their graves. coming up after the break the pandemic has prompted federal u.s. states to ban abortions arguing that they are not essential long a story in just a few minutes stay with us.

backsliders financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away when it comes to report. join me every thursday i'll be all excited when sure i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back washington and beijing got on a collision course over the pun demick with the trump administration suggesting it's now seeking to sue china but u.s. president has previously insinuated that the virus originated from a lab the sun to all the outbreak were contradicts the walls health organizations finding that the virus is like to likely to have come from bats in late 2019 trunk officials say beijing must be held accountable. but to stop the export of these viruses from china we have a lot of tools our tool kit i understand there are lawsuits that are being filed here against china's trial lawyers they're there for the dog good and the chinese

have a lot of assets around the world you know we'll see what happens no makers in washington are thought to introduce a bill in the senate that would allow americans to sue beijing it's handling of the pandemic well donald trump says the u.s. will sever ties with the now infamous institute of neurology which it turns out was heavily funded by washington in the post caleb maupin has the details. the blame game between the usa and china is escalating now got a longtime critic of china who's also a white house advisor saying that china is profiteering from the pandemic he put forward the claim that china worked to hide it along with the world health organization while stockpiling the supplies that would soon be in high demand 1st of all the virus was spawned in china 2nd of all they hid the virus behind the shield of the world health organization the 3rd thing they did was basically hoard personal protective equipment and now they're profiteering from with the pandemic

overwhelming america officials on capitol hill soon found a scapegoat that they could pin it on if they did it was a mistake a mistake is a mistake but if there were no a responsible then there should be consequences china is 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 china china is attempt to control basically every organization within the united nations through their colonial powers to bribery through other things tremendous damage to this country into this world china has has long been the most significant geopolitical threat the united states faces trump even promoted the conspiracy theory that the virus originated in a virus lab in china is a lot of people looking at it it seems that make sense they talk about a certain kind of bet but that was it in that area in the city rouhani are adamant

that this is simply not the case who is woodruff was there and. officials have repeatedly stated that there isn't any evidence that you corona virus was produced tree many medical experts in the world also believe the so-called laboratory leak hypothesis has no scientific basis you know that conspiracy. theory wouldn't exactly when the united states points let's remember that lab actually received a grant from none other than the united states itself the obama administration gave them a grant of 3700000 i've been hearing about that and we've instructed that if any grants are going to that area we're looking at it literally about an hour ago and also early in the morning u.s. officials of glossed over this fact it barely was mentioned during a press conference and now despite the fact that there's no real evidence donald trump says an investigation is going on into the laboratory a lot of strange things are happening but there is

a lot of investigation going on and we're going to find out conspiracy theory is used to justify us foreign policy rarely require evidence for the u.s. media to run with them and for the u.s. public to become convinced now calls for china to be sanctioned over the virus are growing not just in the united states but around the world and is really n.-g. o. recommends suing china australian and canadian politicians are jumping on the anti china bandwagon as well this as so many countries around the world are depending on china for personal protective equipment tensions have been pretty high which china for some time and i do fear that this make it worse certainly it could result in more economic warfare against china as everyone knows the u.s. has the most cases of copd 19 in the world as the most number of deaths from covert 19 those numbers will continue to go up it's clear that the reason this has

happened is because number one. trump waited 6 weeks before doing anything to confront the crisis and because even to this moment we're not testing nearly enough people for the virus so this is a homegrown catastrophe but the government doesn't want to. so let's try to find a scapegoat in china. the number of confirmed 1000 cases in ecuador has now surpassed 10000 we have a 500 fatalities already the country has resulted to deploying a mobile morgues refrigerator trucks with siena parks in the country's capital kates are now reportedly capable of storing up to $200.00 days however for residents of ecuador's the hardest hit city such facilities remain unavailable with the mortuary is overwhelmed and cemetery is running out of burial space.
