delivery trucks a country as one of a number around the world suffering from increasing the looting and theft as the crime virus lockdown takes its toll artist out quarter reports for nearly 5 weeks south africans have been living under one of the strictest lockdowns in the world tensions are boiling point and thousands of soldiers have been put on standby. was. rights are already sweeping across the country because of frustration with the lockdown and food shortages that have resulted from the equation is simple if people cannot get food there is every likelihood of violent conflict including widespread looting to get food on people's tables because the president announced a $26000000000.00 relief package on wednesday but packages with that much money

involved don't really kick in overnight until it does the government's deployed thousands of soldiers to help medical workers and the police. it's a combination of panic around food availability there are many people who've survived from from month to month. or on no work no pay scenarios from criminal elements within gangs in the area organizing and instigating those riots and attacks on trucks so they said criminal component to this as well which is on the. bannable to some extent because with the lockdown many criminals are not able to make income or money out of the way they used to policing resources in south africa are different challenge and of course the military is deployed currently to assist

in the enforcement of the lockdown regulations but i don't think that the military as well trained to handle civilians it's never a good idea to mix military with civilians and our experiences of where that of in this country's history has never been good and in recent times also not. but i think what the president is largely aiming at here is not for the military to do policing work but largely for the military to start putting more pressure on high risk communities to comply with the lockdown in nigeria it's a similar story millions who relied on day to day wages to survive are running out of food under the lockdown it's led to banditry looting and many have organized vigilante groups to defend their communities. look out there so everybody is outside. maybe if you know food that you know if you have food.

stacia. let's not forget about venezuela washington hasn't lifted its sanctions on the country and with the pandemic high prices and food shortages are destroying the economy across the country clashes between the police and looters have been running rampant. are far are going to be out. with millions more ending up on employed week by week the coronavirus has turned people's lives upside down in the developed world and countries that have significant hardships to begin with the impact is. much more severe the use of the planet is peppered with food riots and in a lack of access to food topple governments nobody must be blind to the fact that

when you touch somebody's stomach or you deprive them of food you great an extremely volatile situation for them and a lack of income in south africa is doing their bets why the government has been encouraged to step down the lockdown as a rapidly as possible whilst not making it unsafe so a smart step down off the lockdown so that key portions of the economy can get back to work and people's income can stabilize. germany says it's the 1st major football league ready to restart a season cut short by the curb in 1000 pandemic but sports executives and the final decision must come from the government as artist peter oliver explains german club hertha berlin should be playing host to eintracht frankfurt here at the olympic stadium this saturday berths but honestly like all top european leagues has been suspended due to the coronavirus but while other nations a bombing in are ing over whether this season will resume at all the head of germany's top league says they could be good to go just

a couple of weeks before us of the one and only decisive factor remains the decisions of the political authority and therefore it is not down to us to set a start date for the bundesliga last time i said we will be ready when the day exams and in case the federal government decides to do this day would be made the 9th then we would be ready only the 9 days the lifting of restrictions has become a political football and it's all right here in germany while the chancellor wants to take things slowly her own health minister as well as the leaders of some of germany's biggest states think that bringing back the bond as leader could be to lift the people need right now others are far less convinced. we would allow players who are said to have been tested the kind of contact that we forbid citizens who get fined for it if the people they can tack with get infected they aren't to be quarantined that's the opposite of what we demand by the app for citizens no one piece should be responsible for this. then there is how the matches

would actually take place certainly there's no plans to allow funds into the stadiums should the season resume here in germany what there is though is a document that's been written by the ministry of labor here it's been seen by the german press and it suggests that play is and officials should be wearing masks that there should be no contact between players and that there should be pauses around every 15 minutes to allow masks to be either adjusted or replaced that isn't going to wash with clubs or the league the premise was everything remains unchanged on the peach in my opinion if players were to play with masks on that would be an acceptable when the season was stopped in march by munich with top and 4 points clear of rivals dortmund with leipzig a point behind them with just 9 much is left to play the reason behind the push to get the season finished may have less to do with glory for players and fans and

more to do with finances europe's top 5 leagues could be set to lose a whopping 4000000000 euro because of covert 19 according to consultancy firm k.p.n. g with the english premier league hit the hardest followed by league or in spain and the bundesliga then there's the issue of player readiness no one expected this inforced break and it's prompted play is staff and everyone connected with the game not only have to find ways to keep themselves occupied but also much if it were a group of friends through the 1st for the 1st stimulus and not just for this is going to control for distribution of the stadium so that it can reach those most in need i mean should football in germany get the go ahead to restart behind closed doors expect leagues in england spain italy and france to be asking when they can

kick. again as well these are all over all see. from the war against corona virus to a war of words the former us ambassador to the un nikki haley has launched a petition to congress calling on lawmakers to take 5 steps against china's actions in the crisis we launched a petition to congress to investigate communist chinese government's role in the 1900 break hold the spread of china's influence bring critical supply of medical m. of g. back to the u.s. and push back against chinese billing over taiwan haley created a website stop communist china dot com where she posted the petition numerous u.s. officials have also demanded access to chinese labs where they claim the virus originated beijing says washington is just trying to deflect attention from its own significant mistakes this month donald trump said he was investigating whether the deadly virus was manmade in

a lab in the chinese city of han he provided no evidence to support his theory but china isn't the only one being blamed by the u.s. secretary of state has also criticized the world health organization for not being transparent enough and called for structural changes earlier in april washington announced it was halting w.h.o. funding something met with regret by the organization's director general who called for unity against the pandemic victor gao director of the china national association of international studies believes the american government should shift attention to what's happening inside its own country. in order to really trace donal the real origin of the coronavirus international community need to do scientific research and study as to how this really developed rather than resulting to single handed one sided i cause ations of one country versus another and i think it's much better to leave this to the scientists and the viral is just so in

the world rather than politicize this situation the united states is now the largest has the largest number of deaths and infections and i think the u.s. government officials can better serve the american people by focusing on the fight against a corrupt virus rather them blaming anyone else china or all or speaker pelosi for example. in the us where the number of registered cove in 1000 cases has reached almost 1000000 it seems that there is no safe place left speed on land or sea on friday a 2nd u.s. navy ship was hit by the virus killed up and has the details the pentagon has confirmed that yes another u.s. navy ship has been hit by a corona virus outbreak i can confirm that there has been a a sailor on the u.s.s. kidd who was had symptoms was medivac off of the ship to

a hospital and soon attorney oh and a certain medical treatment facility san antonio where he was tested and was unfortunately found to be positive covert as a result the navy has. using lessons learned from other cases they have followed a medical evaluation team especially his medical evaluation team on to the kid i think it's an 8 person team that is conducting testing on the ship more than a dozen sailors have tested positive for coded 19 it has now been confirmed at the ship is preparing to return to port now the ship was sent to. the eastern pacific on what the pentagon says was an anti drug mission however reports seem to indicate that the vessel was actually targeting the government of that as whaler now the 1st american warship to be hit with coded 19 the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt now has over 840 confirmed cases on board one sailor actually died just a week ago and the case gained wide public attention after the captain of the ship

wrote a desperate letter to the u.s. navy. we are not at war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset our sailors after the letter was leaked the navy captain was fired this sparked massive public and media outrage after which the u.s. navy investigated and is now recommending that he be reinstated a little up and r.t. new york. we have to assistance is more relevant than ever during a global pandemic and our team has launched a social project our turn to act a map app allowing you to request help or volunteer.

for. more global news coming your way after this short break. no amount of the world checks an interest in keeping its citizens locked up sold a. new virus will go by this rules like restrictions will remain i think it's a. scare idea governments of the world very much interested in lifting this restrictions bought they are evidently and who is a lovely scared of doing this in such a way as to provoke mother waveforms infection i think we shouldn't worry at all to

coming level of sports that will be faced by. the question citizens and the people. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for and let it be an arms race is on all fronts very dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical garm time to sit down and talk. here watching aren't international welcome back to the program r.t. host and former ecuadorian president rafael correa has spoken to journalist glenn greenwald who helped to expose numerous u.s. and u.k.

surveillance programs he's now being threatened by the brazilian government over his work using a similar scheme to the one washington deployed against whistleblower join the sun . welcome will be here because if you would as a journalist and especially because of the amount of time you spend in brazil as your husband and 2 children of you have been threatened many times have you. spent an entire decade decades of career of his career praising the military dictatorship . advocating against press freedoms and once we began our reporting here in brazil last year in june that expose corruption on the part of. a ball so far as now justice minister here at the time of our. the events that we reported was the judge overseeing the carwash anti corruption probe very serious that started to be made by the government and i had already had conflicts of

paulson r.-o. prior to that and he had insulted me many times on social media in january and now and that they were actually indicting me and trying to imprison me for the reporting that i did with my sources for the moment that case has been thrown out of court but the government is appealing and trying to. reinstate the indictment elysian will proceed journalism is the profession of life and death which is the price of truth and of course we're talking about the world famous julian asuncion what do you think about his case even the obama administration had decided that they couldn't. prosecute julian assad without also prosecuting the new york times and the guardian and. newspapers around the world that publish the same material how do you public prosecutors did not prosecute journalists everywhere but the coming ministration didn't care about that so they just kind of created

a theory that said that assad worked with his source tells the manning to do more than just receive information that he actually tried to help her. getting caught which is very similar to the theory that all star government is trying to use against me because they're copying that model it's in and the reality is journalists all over the world help their sources not. and what they're now trying to do is turn that into a crime by saying that if you work with your source to keep your source safe you become part of the criminal conspiracy. u.s. congressman have been spotted touching their faces wearing masks and properly or not wearing them at all in session and the internet has reacted. this is a very important piece of legislation piece of legislation. russia's support of this legislation to protect jobs support small businesses or

save lives. and speak to you one minute today's bill is critical for small businesses in my district who are desperately waiting for this financial lifeline. thank the gentleman for yielding. fine we're here we're mask i'm not where the mess is speaking but as soon as i stop speaking my ass back on as i turn around to go among us. congress is doing its job. makes you wonder if some higher ups have been vaccinated already. scientifically proven. or spread the virus while speaking publicly it's do as i say not as i do politicians know what's best for us but the rules are different for them. that microphone is doing of course so is this nation so there's that as well.

social distancing measures aimed at minimizing the spread of coronavirus are in force across the world but while some question whether 2 meters is even anough one canadian artist has invented a device showing it's pretty hard to comply with even that roll down the ross stain posted this video on twitter calling for the closure of major roads he thinks they should be given over to pedestrians as patrons just aren't wide enough meanwhile kemah has now registered more than 43000 infections well in 2000 people have died we spoke to daniel who told us more about his idea of improving city guidelines amid a lockdown. my critique is about how we are treating the people who aren't necessarily going to the hospital but are forced to navigate the city and there and it's really unsafe right now and i think that there's so few cars already and because there are so few cars that actually has encourage people who do drive to drive faster so the advice from the city and the mayor has been just step into the

street if you need to avoid somebody step into the street and i can do that fine i'm an able bodied man you know it's ok for me but we're asking vulnerable people to step into the live traffic to avoid each other so they can navigate safely i'm not saying close the street entirely but a lot of cities you've seen them extending the sidewalk one lane on each side and that just gives enough breathing room and then there's still enough room for cars to move around and i do know that the authorities got got the message. italy remains the european country worst hit by the pen demick with $26000.00 lives lost and virus has paralyzed many cities including rome that are usually packed with tourists especially at this time of the year.

the derivatives became so huge in size over a quadrillion they door the size of the actual stuff to the point where the stuff is meaningless it only did derivatives matter and so the best on the derivatives now are increasing so as derivatives on top of derivatives and this is how you get to a place of negative prices on oil because when you trade oil derivatives you're not trading oil you're trading purely on the direction of a trace based on a derivative that's based on another derivative or there is no underlying what. is the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of it we're not financially quality and the lack of
