social plane the. reports there's 99000 for. start flooding they're reporting text number was this fix. here and russia more than $6000.00 new covered $1000.00 cases have been registered in the last 24 hours as brings the total number in the country to more than

$80000.00 a month 7000 have recovered but the virus has claimed 747 lives here meanwhile russian medical staff are exploring new ways to help coronavirus patients or cover one thing that appears to be working is blood transfusions several patients were discharged from a moscow hospital after they received blood plasma from people who'd recovered from cope at 19. talk to some of those donating their blood. plenty of russian hospitals have been. partially to treat those who have fallen sick with culvert 19 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 and recovered was asked for a blood test because doctors need blood plasma from those he successfully recovered from the virus and i decided to drain my blood because i also got over the coronavirus and wanted to help. how did you play out jevon the symptoms of the one . yes i had symptoms it went by the book at 1st i had a fever followed by a cough. would you believe it so of significance which you're doing here right now . the conversion of the from oh 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 there they have to be destroyed and it happens here. well you 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 for making an discharge me from hospital. well they say they are expecting you back in 2 weeks time yes there's no 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 if a covert 19 is indeed the invisible enemy as they say this right here is the front line of the civil resistance. france remains one of the worst hit

nations in europe with more than 161000 cases and 22000 deaths that spite a nationwide lockdown residents in some of paris's poorest suburbs have clashed with police on the streets. in this northern suburb of the capital tensions were high in this week when a motorcyclist was injured after a collision with an unmarked police car fireworks were directed at officers who responded with tear gas protests spilled into neighboring areas where the mortality rate from the virus is among the highest in the country. as the details. 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 send song 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 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 and 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 19. areas 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

exacerbating the situation in. fact it is an area that also has a lot of shantytowns a habitate by rumor communities. also by immigrants in these areas that have cramped conditions this quarter one charity medicine is concerned that the residents here could face their own epidemic. we are facing double health crisis in the slums because one cruel virus restamp people have big problems to get access to health care and also because the bees x. axis toward to access to toilets are not yet efficient in all the 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 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 in that is difficult for many people but if you're living in a school in 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 same song to me it's actually pushing people into their graves. over in italy the number of coronavirus cases has now surpassed 195000 more than 26000 people have died but the nation spirits have also been cheered by some remarkable recovery is on wednesday a 100 year old woman was discharged from hospital in northeastern sicily after beating coke at 19 she's one of a number of italians and terence who have beaten the odds are in the pandemic. but those who recover have terrifying stories to tell jim pair a couple already was put in intensive care after contracting kovan 19 and he told

us what happened to him. a little bit of war in the beginning i viewed it as negative positive when the situation worse than i realised that the coronavirus. is truly a monster and that's when the fear and terror started i quickly went into respect to treat crisis but doctors informed me that they would have to interview me at this point i told my wife it was 2 am terrified we were both terrified thank god that this doctor sort of obligated me to be integrated because if we waited another day it could have been too late from when the doctor arrived telling me that she was going to interview me i felt i was unconscious after 5 minutes and in these 5 minutes i had so much fear she told me it can take more than a month but i got better in 7 days the most vivid sight that i can recall was when they removed the troops the doctor told me look now you have to start breathing on your own so he removed the tube and said cough a few times and start breathing and i started breathing and that's how another life

for me started. their weekly continues after this short break. financial guy i don't buy any i'm on if you. think the flight. as of last summer buying from the future trucker watch kaiser.

welcome back you can universities have cut runs for students many of whom have lost their jobs and are finding it increasingly hard to pay their way but for many it's nowhere near enough as are 2 saudia edwards dashed explains. universities up and 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 starker we're not down began thousands of students jumped on the 1st train back home to their parents but many are still left cooped up inside their halls of residence with universities still demanding they cough up bryant many are now refusing well there's no purpose for the us to be on campus and the universities and the starters so you paying your full rent which you are paid for everything to be a person but nothing's available and in a time where most jews are 0 contracts and they've lost their jobs now on the radio for duran they using all of their student loans they've got no money for food or drink george graham a tailor is a 1st year law undergraduate at the university of sussex who lost his job in a bar and is now relying on dribbling savings to survive and he isn't alone people who've lost jobs under the law and 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 the shielding advice so for me i've got this issue of contention of by financially i can actually afford the rent so i could either risk being financially in trouble all i could risk breaking the law of the creative virus bill and also risking my health your policies are encouraging. students to gridlock their own 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 occupying their way with their items so what is the difference why are we. to university because of government legislation and we have to pay full price for people who left before the 27th all this stuff is still here they get

they don't or 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 profound and potentially huge impact on mental health students who are left in the dark could be the last head those extremists. are not seeing a doctor and seeing a new one but i'm not for going on 6 weeks or seeing friends for 6 weeks my room is maybe 3 or 4 metres long and 123 metres wide and extend my life a law students i do worry for the ones who are in a hole was completely by themselves elsewhere those withholding payments have got results the university of london changed its policies so students no longer have to pay rent and can keep their belongings in storage for $25.00 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 us so university has taken the decision to offer reduced accommodation to many of our students and university managed accommodation. we appreciate this is 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 stand up. and not going straight puts those in a position that it feels like a cynical attempt to split so it was against each other to group the structure the whole way 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 your reputation because there will be years to come of this and you must they'll just settle the legal university

nobody wants to shout to edward stash d r t u k a london. the british medical association warns 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 of corona virus but the government has so far confirmed only $69.00 deaths amid the shortage is 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 it's prompted the 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 of that with dr anna hemming 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 age how they do their job and we all have a and want to help and care for people says to me at the moment that was seen have to protect your workforce and there are people that are going to work that have maybe children already his with asthma that they're living with and they're concerned how can 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 that. just undermines the culture that these trust policies happen it's important i mean this equipment is lifesaving equipment for the front line if we run out then we get ourselves into some very very deep waters 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 that's after an n.h.s. trusts issued new social media guidelines to staff with

a list of topics to avoid it asked them to refrain from tweeting about political issues including shortages of protective equipment and testing kits but saf 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 couple instance that guidelines were issued by probably a mental health trust in the united kingdom with the worst reputation and the worst relationship between workers and management. it just exacerbates 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 playing ball sht. perhaps one of the reasons why the u.k. has been so slight simply acts so the combined

a virus is because the and i. can see some red coats all saying it's its reputation in the reputation of ministers before clinical concerns and scifi issues transparency is a must if we all to stop this dreadful outbreak. here at r.t. we're cutting back on personnel in an effort to help fight the spread of the corona virus so we're signing off for the night but i'll be back tomorrow and you can always have to our website in the meantime for up to the minute risp orts keep well wherever you may be. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we should ask. green collapse of global energy markets are in disarray over production low demand and lots of storage has witnessed some prices going to negative territory this is not just because of the pandemic this is the result of disaster policies the energy market may never recover. granted plane has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain and believe that their prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to do
