the british medical association has warned that doctors lives are being put at risk by dangerously low levels of protective equipment more than $100.00 u.k. health workers have reportedly already died from the corona virus of the government so far has only confirmed $69.00 deaths amid the shortages the national health service the n.h.s. has controversially changed its guidelines now advising medics to reuse gowns and aprons doctors say that's extremely dangerous and goes against all safety advice that's prompted unions to call for an independent inquiry into the government's policy on protective equipment. the n.h.s. confederation and the doctors union say they will now support medics who refuse to work without adequate protection we discussed all that with dr and having an n.h.s. commentator or lightly. i think it's a very personal thing that each doctor or nurse is an individual and they have feelings about 8 how they do their job and we all have a and want to help and care for people certainly at the moment that also you have
5:20 pm
to protect your workforce and there are people that are going to work that have maybe children already tis with asthma that they're living with and they're concerned how could you lose tons of equipment from turkey i mean anybody who buys anything or amazon and knows that you can trace track where your water is i mean just to say holy has. just undermined the culture that these trust policies have happened it's important i mean this equipment is lifesaving equipment for the frontline if we run out then we get ourselves into some very very deep water meanwhile britain's health secretary has vehemently denied claims that medical staff are being gagged insisting they are free to raise any concerns during the pandemic after an n.h.s. trust issued new social media guidelines to staff with a list of topics to avoid it asked them to refrain from tweeting about political
5:21 pm
issues including shortages of protective equipment and testing kits itself are encouraged to praise the n.h.s. as hard work and volunteering initiatives mental health campaigner terence o'shea says the response in the u.k. has been botched. it's not a coincidence that guidelines were issued by probably the mental health trust in the united kingdom with the worst reputation and the worst relationship between workers 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 so slow to react to the corona virus is because the n.i.
5:22 pm
has a consistent record for putting its reputation and reputation of ministers before clinical concerns and safety issues transparency is a must if we are to stop this dreadful outbreak. u.k. universities have cut runs for students many of whom have lost jobs in the crisis and are finding it increasingly hard to pay their way but for many it's nowhere near enough as artist john edwards explains universities i think down the country would normally be very busy especially considering that the final is just kicking off but amid the coronavirus crisis the change of scenery couldn't be stocks were knocked down began thousands of students jumped on the fast train back home to their parents but many are still left cooped up inside the halls of residence with universities still demanding they caught bryant and many are now refusing with one
5:23 pm
time just for the us to be on campus and the masters and i started is so you'd hang a full rent which you would pay full and waiting to be $8.00 nothing's available and in time when most users here. contracts and they've lost their jobs now on the radio for duran they using all of their student loans they got no money for food or drink george graham a tailor as a 1st year law undergraduate at the university of sussex who lost his job in a bar and is now relying on drilling savings to survive and he isn't alone i'm not claiming people whose long lost jobs under long will not cover. students. well many students including international ones are trapped in single rooms on campus and most can't return home because that would flout the government's lockdown measures and i've also got asked so i have part of shielding advice so for me i've got this issue of contention of by financially i can actually afford the
5:24 pm
rent so i could either risk being financially in trouble or i could risk breaking the law of the creative virus bill and also risking my health your policies are encouraging. students to gridlocked on and is a public health problem some universities have allowed students who have left campus to cancel their contracts or receive concessions on their rent and those left behind say the policy is grossly unfair although they're physically not used in the very best and occupying their way with their items so what is the difference why are we trapped at university because of government legislation and we have to pay full price for people who left before the 27th but all this stuff is still here they get they don't have they don't pay a penny we do appreciate this is an extremely unsettling time for us students on campus and we wish that time at sussex could be different we hope that our students know we will continue to do everything we can to respond to their needs it's not just about money with experts warning that the covert 19 pandemic could have
5:25 pm
profound and potentially huge impact on mental health students who are left in the dark could be the worst hit those extremists. are not seeing a guy. i'm seeing a new one but i'm not for going on 6 weeks of seeing friends for 6 weeks my room is maybe 3 or 4 metres long and look to me as wide an extent of my life a law students i do worry for the ones who are in the halls completely by themselves elsewhere those withholding payments have got results the university of london changed its policy so students no longer have to pay rent and can keep their belongings in storage for 25 pounds a week while other universities including nukes have also taken some action as part of our plan to support students through covert 19 like castle university has taken the decision to offer reduced accommodation fees to many of our students and university managed accommodation. we appreciate this is
5:26 pm
a very challenging time for our community and we hope our decision to waive accommodation payments helps ease the financial burden for our students but for some that simply doesn't go far enough the people who are up to 25 percent of those very tempting for people to do the up and some up. and not going straight to put those in a position and it feels like a cynical attempt to split so it was against each other to group the strike to all they ask them is just to be humane and just recognise the situation that we're in is your reputation is your money worth more than you met peter asian because they will be easy come of this and used they'll just settle the legal university nobody wants to see shot edward stash d r t u k a london as our break down are just some of the biggest headlines from the past week from all of us here at our table we help you and yours are well.
