just that. the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that might be causing long term. thousands of soldiers are put on standby as looting and after rise around the world with food running out and for their job cuts in the cold in $1000.00 locked down. germany could become the 1st major football league to restart in the wake of the pandemic a sports executive saying they're ready to kick off as early as the 9th of may if the government gives the ok. also this hour a 2nd to u.s. navy warship registered as a corona virus outbreak at $800.00 sailors testing positive. and archie speaks to a top u.s. investigative journalist receiving disturbing threats from the brazilian government after expose corruption by allies of their president. i had already. had

conflicts with both the morrow prior to that. insulted me many times on social media. and you were he announced that they were actually trying to imprison me. they're watching our to international coming to you straight from the russian capital let's get started with a live news update we begin with the latest figures on kobe had 19 the global pandemic is still raging with almost 2900000 cases now confirmed more than 825000 people have recovered but the number of fatalities has surpassed 201000. south africa has put thousands of soldiers on standby amid rising attacks on food

delivery trucks the country is one of a number of around the world suffering from increasing looting and fast as the coronavirus lockdown takes its hold on a 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. talking was ok. riots 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 south africa's president announced a $26000000000.00 relief package on wednesday but packages with that much money

involved don't really kick it over night until it does the government's deployed thousands of soldiers to help medical workers and police. i. 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 there is a criminal component to this as well which is understandable to some extent because with the lock down 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. spearing fits of with 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 although. i look out there if everybody's outside where flippy made it in a food that you know if you have food.

are just. let's not forget about venezuela washington hasn't lifted 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. was at the area. with millions more ending up on employed week by week the coronavirus has turned people's lives upside down in the developed world in countries that have significant hardships to begin with the impact is that much more severe the history of the planet just papered with food riots where a lack of access to food as topple governments nobody must be blind to the fact

that when you touch somebody's stomach or you deprive them of food you're great an extremely volatile situation for them and a lack of income in south africa is doing that that's why the government has been encouraged to step down. the lockdown as a rapidly as possible was not making it on sick 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 kobe 1000 pandemic but sports executives and the final decision a must come from the government as artist peter r. explains. the german club hertha berlin should be playing host 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 in 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 authorities 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 greeks comes and in case the federal government decides to do this day will emerge of the 9th then we would be ready only the 90 days the lifting of restrictions has become a political football in its own 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 that bond as leader could be the 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 4 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 and 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 were 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 m 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 to press through to 1st for the 1st stimulus you know this for this is going to control for distribution are at stake so that it can reach those most in need you know 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 of our artsy berlin. 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 call that 900 break hold the spread of china's influence bring critical supply medical and of g. back to the u.s. and push back against chinese bulling of taiwan really 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 any objective person will see that some u.s.

politicians have been peddling lines that discredit china's anti epidemic efforts to funnel people's minds and deflect attention from the fact that they felt sure to fulfilling their own anti epidemic responsibilities chinese denied access to it only to the lab but to the way markets to all the places that one would need to go to identify the original source for this virus. this month donald trump said he was investigating whether the deadly virus was manmade at a lab in the chinese city of war 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 and w.h.o. funding something that with regret by the organizations director general who called for unity against the penn dubnyk. 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 the real origin of the coronavirus international community need to do scientific research and study as to how this really developed rather then resulting to single handed one sided of one country versus another and i think it's much better to leave this to the scientists and the viral is just see in the world rather than politicize this situation the united states is now the largest it has the largest the 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 the coronavirus rather them play me anyone else china all or speaker pelosi for example. meanwhile us congress people have been spotted touching their

face wearing masks improperly or not wearing them at all incessant. this is a very important piece of legislation piece of legislation. russia's support of this legislation to protect jobs support small businesses to save lives. and speak please 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. 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 he can catch 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's for microphone. of course so is this nation so there's that as well. in the us the number of registered coded 1000 cases has reached almost 1000000 and it seems that there is no safe place left it on land or sea on friday a 2nd u.s. navy ship was hit by the virus him 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 met of act off of the ship to a hospital in santa tonio and a sort of medical treatment facility san antonio where he was tested and was unfortunately found to be positive cove it as a result the navy has been using lessons learned from other cases they have

followed a medical evaluation team a specialized 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 coated 19 it has now been confirmed that 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 venezuela now the 1st american warship to be hit with coded 19 the u.s.s. theodore roosevelt now has over $840.00 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. it'll assistance is more relevant than ever during a global pandemic and that's why our team has launched a social project our turn to act a map app allowing you to request help or volunteer.

more news coming your way after this short break. the world is driven by dream shaped by our own personal those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

for. he watching our team to national welcome back archie host and former ecuadorian present off while korat has spoken to journalist glenn greenwald who helped expose numerous u.s. and u.k. surveillance programs he is now being threatened by the brazilian government over his work is using a similar scheme to the one washington deployed against whistleblower julian a songe welcome will be here because if you would as a journalist and especially because of the amount of time you spend in brazil is

your husband and 2 children of you have been threatened many times have you brazil has spent an entire decade decades of career of his career raising 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. boston are those now justice minister who at the time of our when we. were reported was the judge overseeing the carwash anti corruption probe very serious started to be made by the government and i had already had conflicts of boston r.-o. prior to that 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. 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 who do you think about his case even the obama administration had decided that they couldn't. prosecute julian assads without also prosecuting the new york times in the guardian an alp i mused papers around the world that published the same material how do you public prosecutors did not prosecute journalists everywhere but the company ministries and didn't care about that so they just kind of created a theory that said that. work 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 the ball's in our 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. to 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. social danced and sing measures aimed at minimizing the spread of coronavirus are enforced across the world but while some question whether 2 meters is even enough one canadian artist has invented a device showing it's hard to comply with the rule at all. posted a video on twitter calling for the closure of major roads he thinks they should be given over to pedestrians as pavements and just aren't wine enough meanwhile canada has now registered more than 43000 infections and more than 2000 people have died there we spoke to daniel who told us more about his idea of improving city guidelines and the lock down. 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 encouraged people who do drive to drive faster so the advice from this 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 jus know that the authorities got got the message.

it only remains the european country worst hit by the pandemic with $26000.00 lives lost the virus has paralyzed many cities including rome that are usually packed with tourists especially at this time of year. that's our world news wrap up for this hour but if you're looking for more head on

over to our website our team dot com here's hoping you and yours are well. the derivatives became so huge in size over a quadrillion a dorf the size of the actual stuff to the point where the stuff is meaningless and only did derivatives matter and so the best on the derivatives now are increasing so as to rivet us 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 price based on a derivative that's based on another derivative or there is no underlying.

time after in advance they were going underground on the anniversary of the publication of the structure of d.n.a. by british scientists watson and crick and from a country estimated to have had the worst coronavirus death rate in the world bar donald trump's united states coming up on the show the united nations special rapporteur on the right to food on the possibility of coronavirus creating a post endemic world without hunger the centuries of inequality and greed and the bell ribeiro audi elected to represent one of britain's most deprived in-situ the season december general election and what could be the biggest anti semitism cover up in labour's history were installed secure stomach as boss of western europe's largest socialist party all of them all coming up in today's going underground at 1st the un has warned world hunger could double by the end of the year to a quarter of a 1000000000 though even before coronavirus more than 4000000 children here in the u.k. have been growing up in poverty that's in one of the richest countries in the world amidst a record high in numbers of those needing to go to food banks in britain i'm joined

now via skype from bodrum in turkey by the united nations special rapporteur on the right to food don't feel well thanks so much a lot for coming on you've called covert 19 inequality on steroids our politicians here are telling us that the threat is equal why this mismatch how we gauge you treat it's not how we receive our conditions not equal parts and we talk about the theory simple way social distancing so possible social distancing in a place and trying to i'm going where you're sitting in a very small rooms tweeny if you are sleeping near miami area is it possible it's not possible for the tokyo market to deny any aig. they have coming in really bad or emergency workers how mr bercow they are equal like us that we are sitting in our car and made to keep our troop in they were taught so it inequality is it's to me or to me in the situation well 10 years of

a conservative and coalition government here according to n.h.s. figures show one in 10 of those over 60 in the u.k. is malnourished we have record child poverty here 4200000 living in poverty here angio actual the children claims most children in britain live one paycheck away from malnutrition are at least going without food how does coronavirus affect food security even in a rich country they'd look like britain debt that's exactly why i write about it and if this is before coronavirus though new terry is not the only country to develop this problem you know just they think i think the same situation in newspapers follow the news and then we're talking about the corner wires impacted more deeply on our back an american's or other minority is what was the

reason the reason is maybe everyone gets the arriviste but that's all down general human access to treatments or cannot be noxious to taste and little are they getting up to look so if you i want p.h.a.t. prime so you will not be able to pitch your children and that's a very very serious issue and because all right now the banks are in hands serious kind of action that they're not able to even the people you see when one of your colleagues a special robert are in poverty philip alston came over to britain and said that the tory government have systematically him is aerated a significant part of the population here in britain the guy. moment you care for it is here said britain is among the happiest countries in the world so so what is it about special ruppert ers and how governments respond to them as i say this was the response of the british government forget your rapporteur statement

britain is happier like this balance man and me special reporters go to the countries for our mission trip you don't go talk to him people because they don't have a problem with the have to deal with me they don't have a problem remarked the poet that they don't read it and you probably about 200 big american if any problem am i ok not having your housing then in general the gay people who are kind of home going to be able to state and they don't really care about the women that i have children men in who want their house call it taking care of any man they see in there will not be in need of me comes to bear the house on these are the people you know i believe otherwise of course we are the pitch if not the prime minister of new york see if she got the wires.
