so you listen we didn't. look so good. after weeks of lockdown large parts of europe announced there easing restrictions facing a hard choice between kick starting their condom use and putting lives at risk. also this hour french doctors petition the prime minister to boost the relatively tiny payout for medics working on the frontline of the country's grown a virus battle. which is not right to keep these doctors in a humiliating position in terms of status and salaries. in the us some of your calls to blog chinese students from studying the sciences in america in case they steal a corona virus vaccine even though it hasn't been invented yet. those

are 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital with your live news update let's begin with the latest figures on code 19 the global pandemic is still raging with the number of confirmed coronavirus cases now surpassing 3000000 more than 129000 people have recovered but the number of fatalities has risen to more than 212000. now germany's mortality rate from coke in $1000.00 has been much lower than some other states and that's encouraged it to already reopen small shops and some schools but with political pressure growing to go much further to kick start the economy scientists fear that could trigger a deadly 2nd wave so to fully lift the lockdown or not at all the reports. one of german politics as elder statesman has ruffled

a few feathers with his comments putting economics over health when it comes to the corona pandemic if there is an absolute value in our base ignore it all it is human dignity it is untouchable but it doesn't rule out that we have to die some of the president both going schauble as words cold blooded others saying that it's a realistic view that some people will die but all businesses shouldn't have to. we must not leave decisions to the viral juice alone but must also weigh up the enormous economic social psychological and other implications to simply decommission everything for 2 years would have terrible consequences but whatever you make of the former finance minister's words one german company that is set to receive financial aid is the budget allying cond or the economics minister saying that they good for the over 500000000 euro worth of loans they're set to receive

the company was a professional healthy and profitable in normal times and has good prospects bailing out condo has turned attention towards a potentially much larger risk you package for aviation colossus and german flag carrier lufthansa 10000000000 euro could be required keeping the airlines planes grounded as costing a reported $1000000.00 euro per hour and cash reserves are running out economy minister altmire wasn't giving anything away on the details of that deal but has said as far as the government is concerned there's a future for lufthansa we want large and important companies that play a role in the world market to remain competitive after the crisis while a lot of attention is turning to relaxing restrictions and opening germany back up scientists and doctors are saying they sorry if they're coming across as the bad guys economically but their advice remains if you don't want to spread the virus keep it locked down in germany people see that their hospitals are not overwhelmed

so they don't understand why their shops have to shut the only look at what's happening here in order the situation in say new yorkers spain this is the prevention paradox and for many germans i'm the evil guy who is crippling the economy european union transport ministers will hold a video conference on wednesday where they'll be discussing the future of air travel across the block as we enter what should be the busy summer holiday period for airlines peter all of our r.t. in. mind although a member of the hamburg parliament for the last party it breaks down the options the government's facing. but we can use corona and different either you use it for the master aren't you of the people so for example to establish it will tell system but if you want to start with. a criminal because to us you do something like that john in government anyway it was screwing with the carrot of package where they say . who you are all for the big companies have to give

50000000000 euros for small companies and for the social system and damn the lockdown. little someone wants to bring forward conduct all must kept all the time this is the only where i agree but you have to see what we can do tristan realize society but not what the case is that. this is leading to a dead end street. the french government is set to announce the easing of quarantine restrictions as e.u. members look to return to a someone's a previous life try to demonstrate how the details. we know that the french prime minister will stick to the plan which is to gradually ease the lock down from may the electorate in france i mean some schools and businesses will start to reopen after those kinds of already been attacked by teachers who are unhappy that the schools are reopened meanwhile restaurant owners that is either happy that their

business is and not amongst those that are set to open on may 11th however we also have been told that social distancing will remain in force here of france for the forseeable future and it appears that the french themselves are becoming a bit sort of fed up with pain locked up cooped up in their apartments over the last 2 days there have been several instances of people blatantly flouting the lockdown regulations including one street party in the lot district of paris. now and so it's also working towards de confinement with face to beginning on the 2nd of may it's already be concerned that that self certification this is the permission slip to leave the house will continue will be obligatory in a city ad but the list of acceptable reasons as to why people couldn't leave their

homes are expected to be extended travel bans though will remain in force with the exception of those people who were cut off from their primary residence when the lockdown took place in italy they will be able to move back to that let's have a listen to what else just said he can take the italian prime minister had to say who should be on all this plan which i would present to you now starts from the 4th of may so we're telling you many days in advance because it's well structured well articulated well for through and it must also be accepted by you so that we can put it to work in the best way possible in addition to the degree that. we're preparing for economic measures we're also preparing a parallel measure to unlock the country here it is not enough anymore to unlock individual yards we must unlock this country look well it's the same age where you saw it for leaflets for teens who are allowed to leave their homes the 1st time in

6 weeks that happened over the last few days the petro scientist the prime minister has said that while restrictions on exercise in general are about to be lifted when it comes to ending the lockdowns full he says it's going to be a castell wait and see. a movie at least i would like to announce that if the evolution of the pandemic continues in a positive direction as it is doing so far starting from a the 2nd it will be permitted to go out for individual physical activities and walks with the people you live with however you must still adhered to the conditions laid down by the health authorities well in the u.k. boris johnson is back at the helm of to just over 3 weeks following his a rush we've. seen though in very unusual for a strong style his address to the nation lacked absolutely clear detail exactly when struction will be that i can see the long term consequences of not done as

clearly as anyone and so yes i entirely share. your agency it's the government's urgency. and yet we must also recognize the risk of a 2nd spike leaders and experts so completely defined it just how to easy sister actions to return to some sense of normality and there really is this balance and in this competing balance between it needs restarting at the economies which is just been choking now for weeks and weeks upon end and sort of managing that the fragile balance between the freedoms and safeties and that is something that still hasn't been fully tested yet in europe. france has suffered chronic medical staff shortages as it struggles to contain one of europe's worst coded outbreaks the system has been kept going by large numbers of foreign doctors forced to work at a fraction of the salary and benefits enjoyed by french medics psychiatrists i mean

benyamin that explains why there are legal. the difference in wages depends on status we have a lot of interns these doctors are doing 3 year in turn ships in their case the salaries are between 120-1300 euros this is without duty and when these doctors complete their internships they work as junior doctors for 3 more years during which their work is evaluated curing the time they get at most $2500.00 euros it's very little because often of these doctors work under pressure they work in the i.c. use and in the ambulance service these are people who work between 55 and 60 hours a week the salary problem is real the difference is really significant but what is even more difficult to see is the lack of recognition in the administrative sense to work in france you have to get a french diploma you have to be french and this is a general rule that is respected but the system especially public hospitals are

coping only thanks to outside employees if you will i mean doctors with money. you diplomas. then you mean i was born in algeria and how to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops he described himself to get proper conditions he has signed and published a petition for more than 41000 people including doctors to prime minister edward filipe explains why the petitioner wants better treatment for foreign specialists. do you know the competence of none of the e.u. doctors does not question everyone sees how they work especially during the crisis they have the same medical skills as the french counterparts it is not right to keep these doctors in a humiliating musician both in terms of status and salaries and that's the problem we want the prime minister urgent action so that those who are qualified who have proven their decency and ability to treat the french would be recognized. here and russia there are more than $93000.00 coronavirus cases with just under 6 and

a half 1000 registered in the last 24 hours or $8000.00 and total have already recovered but more than 800 people have died and a lockdown has been tough for most people but it's particularly hard for those in care homes many have had essential routines and interactions put on hold but one such person nina has been lucky enough to get an offer from volunteer arena to self isolate in an apartment provided by a russian charity our correspondent spoke with them. you know how does your life look there in the now i'm just happy. don't you want to go back to hospital. you know definitely not like you and water doing during the day i was trolling you now during a friendship bracelet if i want to watch a movie i do actually it was a huge when neither just moved in she said that at the beginning of the year she had one dream to meet football players. appears before the korean teen i said i

want to meet russian football players and the dream came true. and then inquire into my she said she had another dream to move away from the residential care somewhere and the 2nd dream came true. that. it's been more than 2 weeks since either have stepped outside of their apartment they cook tales and have even celebrated a birthday together arena told us earlier why she decided to self i sleep with nina and whether many others and rush are following suit. which. quarantine and residential care didn't look so secure people can't leave volunteers can't come in but the permanent workers are still there salaries are not so big so most use public transport but in residential care such a close place if someone's infected that will be a tragedy as long as i've known enough she's always been a very optimistic person to all my questions she has always answered that everything's great but after residential care was close for quarantine i started to

receive other messages that she's bored she feels bad not comfortable so i thought to ask nina to live with me taking into account all our messages i knew that we would find a way to live together comfortably in quarantine but of course taking people from residential care to quarantine is not a solution for everyone it as far as i know just around $400.00 people since the beginning of the pandemic have been taken from such residential care homes not a lot. arena as they are bowling tear at the life root charity foundation founded in 2009 it uses classes training and creative interaction to help people with learning difficulties we asked a lifer at fundraiser how they continue offering help in the challenging circumstances of this lockdown. so there's a beginning of which you know almost all of them are online it's an interesting moment to work with disabled people online requires a lot of skill and perspiration even working person can be hard to make interesting

put disabled people in online it's a bit harder sell he were teachers and say colleges create new formats for example we have a. friend saying we teach how to shell x. or. y. . and another uplifting the story and the time a man living in siberia has swapped his teaching gun for protective gear after volunteered to help the elderly and disabled the pandemic so they all get a list of food or medicines and other essential to deliver throughout the day in the city of cross they are sick he told us why he puts on the mask and gloves and gets to work. yeah but it was from a foreign language teacher i came to russia years ago for an internal ship at one of the universities here when it finished i got a job. in the country i deliberately wanted to live in russia it was on matters of principle for me but there on the telly a language teacher if you're in russia how do you balance your main job with the interior but this yes language teaching is my main activity and volunteering is

also an essential part of my life it is important to help people because by doing that we help ourselves in a way when you give something you receive in return emotional reward cannot be overestimated. their global news update continues after this short break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. thinks . we dare to ask.

it out i'm fascinated by is consumer protection a label that you find out cigarette story find out household cleaning substances don't apply to financial products even though they should because many of them are hazardous to your health because they're poorly constructed and they're full of toxic. welcome back u.s. senator tom cotton has called to ban chinese students from studying science and his country for fear they may steal the coronavirus vaccine that hasn't been invented

yet with anti china rhetoric sweeping the nation cottons divisive rhetoric has gotten a lot of support artist and explains how bilateral tensions have moved to the classroom . the rivalry between the usa and china over technology continues even amid the pandemic some politicians are pushing it pretty far arkansas senator tom cotton suggested that chinese students studying in america should only study the humanities or else they'll have access to secrets and knowledge that they can steal you know if chinese students want to come here and study shakes shakespeare in the federalist papers that's what they need to learn from america of a belt made to learn quantum computing and artificial intelligence of america tom cotton has been beating the anti china drum for a long time his recent remarks come across as pretty racist but he's not alone a number of voices are playing up the idea that chinese students in american universities are potential spies in addition to espionage and cyber theft by the

ministry of state security the party task some chinese students and scholars in the u.s. and other foreign universities and research labs with extracting technology these are the words of h r mcmaster he's a retired lieutenant general in the united states army as well as a former national security advisor for the white house now he's speaking out about the need to stop china from spying all across the united states and stealing technology especially dia's students now it's not just politicians professors are also speaking up. congress needs to move to restrict access by chinese students and researches to our premier educational and research institutions and our engineering and science labs the idea that we continue to educate scientists and engineers who will then work for companies owned by the chinese communist regime defies common sense these aren't just words american universities are shutting down cooperation programs organized through the confucian institute scientists who could be helpful

in fighting against coded 19 have been driven out of the country by allegations of spying now these recent words from tom cotton suggesting that there should be restrictions on what chinese students can and cannot study are pretty shocking but they fit into an entire atmosphere of hysteria and hostility. r.t. new york we discussed the issue you would just have gregory mahoney a professor at east china university he says any such ban would do more harm than good to america's tech industry. fortunately it's not the most irresponsible thing that center cotton has had in recent times he has been one of the main programmers as an elected official of the. bioweapon conspiracy theory as an explanation of the teen outbreak he's politically close to donald trump he's a longstanding hawk on china so this sort of comment from him is part and parcel of his usual political rhetoric this trend is one that's been underway for several

years and we've seen of course. this both within the academic and outside it quite overblown in a lot of ways one of the things that we've seen in chinese students they don't tend to be you know flag waving communist who are going out to seek information to do you know i say satan to hold us in high regard they want to go and learn to have a positive regard at the same time you know the fact of the matter is at this point chinese universities have taking major leap forward whereas you know the american universities chinese students and a lot of these students once they graduate have gone on to work in american tech and science and history all in all i think that if this policy were to be put in place. you know it would be unfairly castigating chinese students but it also the harming us universities and even u.s. technology and scientific development several u.s.

veteran and anti-war associations have written an open letter to congress urging them not to give additional funding to the pentagon that's after the defense department was included in the latest phase of the white house stimulus package. has made it crystal clear that federal spending is dangerously misaligned with our national priorities and actual threats to human security the united states has chronically underfunded human and environmental needs while particularly in recent years passing historically high pentagon budgets that forced the militarism in the war engine the waste and so corruption. well that our points are that the pentagon could find the money to fight coronavirus from its existing enormous budget unlike underfunded health organizations which are struggling to provide americans with the support they need the country is at the percenter of the pandemic with more than a 1000000 victims and 56000 death. the defense department's budget has now reached

$756000000000.00 including $10000000000.00 from the new stimulus and war and security costs exceed a trillion dollars the u.s. spending almost 40 percent of the planet's entire military budget a spokesperson at veterans for peace one of the groups that signed the letter says it's a question of saving lives. basically the crux of our argument is that we need to we need to prioritize our thoughts right now the combined budgets of the you know each the c.b.c. and w.h.o. roughly equals about a 7 known pentagon budget and that if these institutions would have been properly funded we could basically argue that there would be prepared to challenge a token the defense industry contributes a sizable portion of the funding for candidates of both political parties senators and representatives have within seduce trees that reside within their electoral jurisdictions and really what it's about 3 here is raising money for the party and getting reelected in doing so you have to keep your donors constituents. but i

think it's also imperative that we say the united states maintain our global hegemony by maintaining our forces in our ally things. and namely in the e.u. and discourage the emergence of a multi-polar world i believe it would serve the public's best interest if you could realize the futility of trying to make a more global hedge of money instead focus our resources into infrastructure on the development social programs and to work with nations around the world in a collaborative manner to focus on. the past has come back to haunt us presidential candidate joe biden with the tape of a phone conversation from 1993 landing him in the middle of a sex scandal and newly surfaced footage the mother of terror read a former senate staffer who accuses biden of sexual assault appears on larry king live asking for advice at the time of the the assault raid has confirmed the voice to be that of her mother who died some years ago. i'm wondering what.

after would decide to go to the press in washington my daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problem. r.t. house rick sanchez discussed the sensitivity of such situations with larry king himself. explain to our viewers because i think a lot of people want to understand this the responsibility that you have as a broadcaster in a situation like this to take a call from someone who you literally don't really know who they are how do you deal with. i've been doing would have you know this friday would be 63 years i've been doing this when you and someone calls in and they're all anonymous we never owes calling in and says something like that and you give them the respect of the call we were respectful but one she said my daughter doesn't want to name the

person where else do you go with the you know some if you're if you hate the pershing county try to run with it if you learn but if you don't know the name of the person where do you go or something like that and i'm not going to browbeat someone into naming a daughter she doesn't want to name a daughter or spoke to her daughter the question would be why she call in i'm sure her mother was sincere and i'm sure the daughter was sincere why didn't they want to come forward the only problem is when you're doing a show like that you know who's going to call in you know if she had said it to someone else and they had checked it out and confirmed it i would have made the whole rest of the show about it but of all unfortunately you can't do that however it's so funny when something like 27 years ago suddenly the woman's faster way and fox news this is number one on their page right right. that's our world news wrap up for this hour but if you're looking for more ahead on our to our web site all of us here at our hope you and yours are well.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. shows seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days come to. an engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people when they need us. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of those who were not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people new choice. there's been a problem with the city knows turn the temperature on a cold to stay way oh miss. 2 sons of good food that there is no answer because yes the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops.

max kaiser this is they are 3 part that out of fascinated by is that consumer protection labels that you find on cigarettes very fine household cleaning substances don't apply to financial products even though they should because many of them are hazardous to your health because they're poorly constructed and they're full of toxins but anyway we'll get more into that as time goes on stacy max we are going to talk to the audience out there about the ghouls of financialization now everybody in the u.s. media and especially from the resistance sort of left were mocking trump for saying the crazy thing you know maybe we can inject disinfectants into americans in order to help them recover from coronavirus i cope at 19 so while they were laughing at

them the very same day they were laughing at trump for saying that they announced this why didn't anyone wait until the official nomination to bring in the ghouls yes that's larry summers advising biden campaign on economic recovery just a reminder that summers in 1901 of running the world bank issued a memo saying that we should dump our toxic waste from the west developed nations onto the least developed nations to those who can't fight back because they don't have the you know the wealth or the sophistication to appreciate how toxic waste can ruin their environment they don't understand beauty like somebody like larry summers he also was instrumental in passing the commodity futures modernization act which legalized gambling turned derivatives into a giant pile of risk that could be dumped on to pension funds because allegedly they're sophisticated enough to understand that.
