the start warning from u.n. experts although this crisis has been provoked directly by covered 19 kaleb more pain now explains why the labor market was already on the threat the jobs of $1600000.00 people are in jeopardy due to coated $1000.00 lockdowns around the world ours have been cut incomes have decreased unemployment is rising but the problems did not start with the pandemic for millions of workers no income means no food no security and no future millions of businesses around the world are barely breathing they have no savings or access to credit. the international labor organization points out that roughly half of the global workforce has a precarious existence where their livelihoods their access to food and health care and other necessities of life can be cut off at any moment due to problems in the market they often have poor access to health care services and have no income replacement in case of sickness or look down many of them have no possibility to

work remotely from home staying home means losing their jobs and without wages they cannot eat 2 to 3300000000 people function within what's referred to as the informal economy they are self employed or they have short term contracts their wages have decreased by roughly 60 percent during the 1st month of the pandemic for them the pandemic is not just a time to stay home and relax they have very real fears about how they are going to pay their bills as the international labor organization predicts massive losses in income are ahead for them in terms of the economic and social effects of this and demi it discriminates massively and above hold it discriminates against those who are at the bottom end of the world of work those who don't have protection those who don't have the sole say as those who don't have a week holds to the types of things that we regard as the essential oils of

a normal life not everyone is in the same boat amid the pandemic a new study shows that the $500.00 plus us billionaires have seen their combined well surge by roughly $282000000000.00 with 8 of them gaining a $1000000000.00 each since the beginning of the year meanwhile the weekly jobless claims keep rising and rising with roughly $30000000.00 of them in the last 6 weeks and gallup poll shows that one in 7 americans would avoid seeking medical treatments if they had some key symptoms of code 19 fever and dry cough because they're afraid of medical costs. and it's worse when framed explicitly is believing to have been infected by the novel coronavirus 9 percent still report that they would avoid seeking care adults under 30 nonwhites those with a high school education or less and those in households with incomes under $40000.00 per year how the groups most likely to indicate they would avoid seeking

out cap the crisis in the economy is taking on the identity of its own i would argue and it's not just now being driven by what's happening with the virus slowdown it was really quite obvious in the us in advanced economies you could see it in the commodity producing economies especially oil that was already slowing down the price was already decrying you could see it the global trade which was barely growing global g.d.p. that was slowing so you know the process was already underway and it probably would have. unravelled in a much slower way and clearly though the virus of precipitated in the acceleration of the contraction it clearly does discriminate it is hitting the working class harder and certain segments of the working class even even harder while there may not be many big parades with red flags this may day it seems that the pandemic has

made it apparent many of the issues that working class organizations have been trying to highlight for so long it will mop and r.t. new york. millions around the world shattering side one court has ruled in favor of allowing public demonstrations during the pandemic a social distancing must be adhered to and protesters can only cover their faces with sizable mosques police in berlin have already been busy dispersing the vote was breaking the rules. well you can see the demonstrators in the capital were out on thursday evening ahead of a christian festival or thirty's could be seen rounding up those not social distancing others who chose not to protest outside were out on balconies and rooftops burning flares may day protests across germany are expected this friday which have in the past been marred by violence artie's peter all of the reports from berlin. made the 1st demonstrations are always a big deal with loud confrontational and frequently spilling over into violence

i think. this year's demos were given the go ahead against the backdrop of the global pandemic and that raises some issues when it comes to anti corona virus measures it's illegal in germany to cover your face at a demonstration or strike or make any effort to try and concierge your identity from the police the times that this year's demonstrations have resulted in a change of the rules if you cover your mouth and nose with a surgical mask or a scarf there would be fine but if protesters all the way or who do use baseball caps or sunglasses we would have to consider the intention behind those items and might request their removal gatherings of over 20 people are banned here in the german capital and more than 5000 police officers will be deployed to keep

a watchful eye on friday the city's minister of the interior said the chief role of those officers will be making sure that social distancing rules are upheld which had a demonstration particularly at this demonstration you can't imagine is going to be easy many german local authorities banned all protests but a ruling by the country's top court said the right to assembly cannot be tonight the local authorities had incorrectly assume that the. provision by the has the state government to fight the coronavirus included a general ban on gatherings of more than 2 people who don't live in the same household and has therefore violated the constitutional right to assembly earlier this week around $100.00 people were detained at an authorised demonstration it's hard to imagine that there won't be more people joining the friday people turn up for demonstrations in the past have looked like this they are going to be expected

to adhere to keeping a distance of 1.5 meters to wear a face mask to gather in groups of no more than 20 for a limited period of time. for all t. believe. one industry has been demonstrating in a plea for help german travel agencies are calling for a rescue fund to be set up as tourism ground to hold earlier this year one demands a comprehensive shield that would support not only big corporations but small ones as well we spoke to the organizer of the protests in munich. we don't have as everybody not a new income no new commissions because we cannot do bookings in the moment and we have to take a pay back our earnings of the last year sometimes until june 2019 and this is a real big problem and the politicos in germany are not of their situation and

asked and that was the reason why we got on the street even. if the politics listen to us they have to act so now and it is nearly it's a like a last minute acting because if they wait 4 more weeks many of our companies school hashed close. for answers labor day celebrations are in lockdown with people expected to mock debate from the balconies or with online demonstrations. later in the program we look at how it might have all unfolded people hadn't been. the death toll in new york continues to rise rapidly the virus outbreak has left funeral homes overwhelmed with dozens of decomposing bodies found in a truck by brooklyn police that's off the locals complained about the smell. has the details. as new york continues to come down the curve there are still hundreds

of people dying from cova 19 every day new york city the epicenter of the outbreak struggling to keep up with the mounting coronavirus death toll one funeral home in brooklyn so overwhelmed it resorted to storing dozens of bodies on ice in an refrigerated rental trucks had to deal with this for weeks while. they're filling up the tractor trailer with bodies you will trucks. to let you sit on the street at least a 100 bodies were discovered by city officials after receiving complaints of odors surrounding the funeral home i just saw that the spartans carol one. body bags this video showing workers moving the bodies into refrigerator trucks provided by the city just so you can pick them up but even. just knowing what's going on here. you see what it's about some lawmakers pushing for a bereavement committee to ensure the proper handling of the city's dead i don't

understand this case is the funeral home i heard something about a driver didn't show up or something like that why on earth would they not either alert the state who regulate them or go to their the n.y.p.d. precinct and ask for help do something rather than leave the bodies there it's unconscionable to me but while coronavirus continues to grip the state governor cuomo says the number of new coronavirus hospitalizations continues to decrease falling below a 1000 new covert cases slightly down 933 but still unacceptable and as new york continues to work its way down the curve one month after docking in new york harbor the hospital navy ship comfort is charting back home to its base in virginia the vessel was originally brought in to treat patients for overwhelmed hospitals the plan changed when the need for coated beds was more pressing the hospital ship treated 182 patients while in new york. meantime some good news on the treatment front health experts say the a bull

a drug test of year could shorten kovan $1000.00 recovery time a promising step for what's to come it's the 1st step in what we project will be better and better drugs coming along either alone or in combination drugs of this type and drugs addressing all the targets of the virus so it's good news but i was very serious when i said this is not the total answer by any means but it's a very important 1st step meantime back here stateside officials are working out ramping up testing throughout the state currently conducting about 30000 test a day but just yesterday over 4600 people tested positive for the 19 a strong reminder that this is far from being over but the governor says well testing is ringback important here so is contact tracing it's extremely important to identify those people who are coming into contact with someone who has the virus and he estimates it'll take about 30 contact tracers for every 100000 people

locked up. may the 1st is seen as being the traditional day rally by unions here in france now normally here tens of thousands of people would be gathering ready to march for workers' rights. in recent years the big protests have been hijacked and they have descended into chaos now i was here back in 2018 on the may day when i saw what has been some of the worst violence i have ever seen in france and it started on the street basically when people began to throw petrol bombs at this fast food restaurant and then going inside to complete the russian.

claim to be the work of the so-called a black blocs these all of the far left and the case that much of destruction continue down this street smashing windows until they got here where they burned vehicles outside the shop that released a huge plume of smoke into the air that burnt it felt like for at least an hour releasing potentially dangerous toxins into the air and putting the people who live in this building out race. not. as covert 19 has been in a wave of protests in france well at least out on the streets instead unions of

called for people to take to their balconies. only the may day spirit but with the friendship pent up inside and having no way to really vent their anger or frustration against the government perhaps global economy or even the environment there is real concern that when the confinement starts to ease up on may the 11th radical groups will have something up their sleeves groups on social media have been calling for people to get ready for a new spate of action our own goal will not be confined was the slogan that i saw on one poster now these calls on social media already being tracked by the intelligence services who fear that violence will be used to seize public attention very active rights and ultra left networks have to prepare a number of attacks police also see the calls on social media as being an opportunity to display their hostility towards the police one militant site

described offices as being a greater threat than the virus itself and during the lockdown there has already been issues where the police have been accused of brutality particularly towards ethnic groups in the parisians suburbs that led to nights of violence. while the look done for the most part has been peacefully observed there is a real fear that france has become a bit of a pressure cooker and not anger towards the government hasn't gone away instead it's building up in some boiling away when people are released paris and in other

cities they could have open revolts on their hands. see paris. it's been a month since the coronavirus looked on was introduced in russia allowing people to leave their homes for essential trips only it's left many big cities and popular tourist spots as ghost towns.

but soulfulness even more so. this. bring the latest episode of visionaries in a few bob let's join us to get off the lights.

because there's a survival guide station just like all of the stores simply have all the services. it's not going to get a. good repatriations forget the rest of 7 years. of the. record. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military decision lotos sheltered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was raised to be instructed you know told to shut up what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he raped me with his birthing if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's

probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation

for community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe of the shallows. welcome to cervical visionaries maser vision or concept carter virus regimes across the planet keeping a really hands in lock down swear has chosen its weight it has its own brady unique approach to this is

a big opening and the business is running well to talk about this i'm joined by calla futurist economist innovative speaker and bestselling author. can also feature is economists in a native speaker best selling author great having back on our show welcome. oh actually it was a different show it was called so because now we do so he can visionaries and he has a true visionary when i hear your views and pronounces oh whatever is going on here we're going to start with sweden your country like other countries soon couldn't hire everyone was sort of an entire single lockdowns oppose stranger social distancing measures against women chose every mild strategy schools open restaurants bars barbershops can bring in swedish health authorities stand by the response and they claim this measures are effective so that's true why aren't other countries rushing to actually apply is what is approach well i think the reason is

simple there are very few swedish people in france or in italy or in turkey you can only follow this principle but sweetmeats you sing in a country where you have a lot of swedish people why i'm saying this is because this is. place a country. that you would call a high trust society and in a high trust society your trust your storage place your trust the police your trust everybody your neighbor and this means that you don't need mary brutish type of techniques to make people follow here you need recommendations and people will go with you. this is a country that have had peace since 18009 there is no other country on planet earth where you have had so.
