. for joining us tonight on. the program. let's begin with the latest figures on. the global pandemic is into a new month. coronavirus cases are still soaring. 3.4000000 there is some hope that 1100000 people have recovered the grim number as you can see there fatalities now stands at more than 243000. are the brazilian president is being blamed for not doing enough to stop the outbreak of coronavirus the death toll in the country goes past. thousands

desirable sonar earlier dismissed the virus as being nothing more than a little flu on friday a brazilian court gave the president 48 hours through leith has covered 19 test results something he hasn't yet done them open as the details new cases of corona virus are turning up in brazil each day the numbers are mounting the death rate is estimated to be much higher due to limited testing we've got brazil preparing big graveyards anticipating lots of dictums brazil's president has been reluctant to acknowledge the threat of coronavirus now with over 6000 deaths this is his response. so i want i'm sorry what you want me to do about that messy is my middle name of motherhood i don't get miracles questions have been raised about both scenarios only coronavirus test courts have ordered him under threat of penalties to reveal the results all power emanates from people and people have the right to

be informed about the real state of health of their elected representative their refusal to provide test results is illegitimate transparency end of out of that system public information should prevail the political climate in brazil is heating up as well also noro is now facing lots of opposition supreme court has ordered a probe into allegations that bolsa naro interfered in police investigation this could lead potentially to criminal charges as well as removal from office sergio morrow cues the president of having fired the federal police chief and implied that he had done so for political reasons a part you started from the 2nd quarter of the last year the president began to insist to change the command of the federal police the president told me more than once that he wants to direct to who was a close acquaintance of his someone he could call gather information intelligence reports a director or a superintendent who could do that this is not the federal police throw to report

this kind of information also narrow insists he didn't do anything illegal they defeated up we were talking about my interference within the federal police i well if i can by your change a minister why can't i change the head of the federal police i don't need to ask for permission from anybody to change the director or anyone in the pyramid the executive power for the resignation has sparked fears that a wider political crisis could soon unfold for their support for more resigning is a bad thing a shot in boston irish credibility that says sergio morrow is a popular figure who fought corruption hable. being the government and not feeling good there it's a terrible sight years for your. side you know his exit is an indicator of the things that are not right should not happen since everyone wants things to be ok so i believe his exit will also push for all the changes in the government and everybody hopes there will be good changes for brazil. brazil's neighbors are quite

alarmed by the country's lax approach to the pandemic they fear that the largest country in south america could become a super spreader. a lot of traffic is coming from sao paulo where the infection rate is extremely high and it doesn't appear to me that the brazilian government is treating it with the seriousness that it requires that worries me a lot. i voted the reinforcement of venezuela's border with brazil to create an epidemiological barrier paraguay recently dug a trench on its border amid the pandemic many are watching brazil very closely the country could be sitting on a political timebomb it with r.t. new york. the main outbreaks in brazil have hits wealthy communities but cases in the poor and densely populated favelas could be catastrophic local gang leaders have impose strict containment measures in poor areas unlike the rules the government's rolled out the best part of media team redfish has been taking

a closer look at how gang ruled areas are adopting. infidel as across brazil local bands eaton's gang members are stopped in some of the usual activities to prevent a corona virus outbreak in their neighbor but very few. i say. despite drugs being down the instructions come from the gang leader is to impose a curfew on all the question. this is in stark contrast to the leader of the country and there was still people to go back to work in the 1st lot that was put in place by regional official. just infidel as like as the gangs are in charge the only visible government institution here are the armed police they come in to do raids. as walking in diversion. yes so

push each. and each that you know the seal died it was so much cooperation. i had done what i did and i think. my eyes and what i don't what i thought. just. going to. jail just. made a lot. when the tourism tree restaurants and shops closed in march is shut off the income of the many are now reliant on food parcels. although the populace both sonera wants to keep the poor in this by offering them a small basic income during a cold shutdown many don't have bank accounts or smartphones which are needed to access support. the price of food and basic goods it's also risen sharply in the

recent months as a result of brazil's existing economic crisis but at least in these frivolous the cost of protective equipment is being paid for by the just. eating fries could help you come back to covered 19 or at least save potatoes from going to waste in belgium the rallying call from brussels to eat up comes as the pandemic has shut down the hospitality trade leaving a surplus of spuds so to save the industry belgians of bring in courage to do their bit to get. ironically the consumption of frozen fries in belgium is fairly low in comparison with other countries who are now looking into promotional contain to get belgians to eat more of them now with 3 of space now freezers and help us to avoid

food waste we don't just invite all belgians to eat more fries but the entire world when one part of the market collapses that is normally compensated elsewhere now the out of home market has completely collapsed worldwide we are a sector with lower margins and rely on large volumes if all humans don't go up the entire sector is in trouble. it's been reported that over 750000 tonnes of potatoes could fall foul of the crisis while frozen fries make up about the 75 percent of belgium's potato processing you ask people there whether they would go with the extra calories to save the country. for personal use of wine or if we can support the potato produce pleasure yes why not everything that can support the belgian economy the economy of our country can be a patriotic act but i live in the district and i'm also a merchant here and it's very interesting that the shop going to reopen because it

will give a boost to life here it will help everyone to stay on course because during the quarantine it was really hard should be able to preserve i wouldn't eat pork fries because there is such a coffee maker with another kind of food why not a rule like price but i don't think i would like to write every single day just to save the straw that you want to brussels is trying to help prop up the industry for instance chip shops were allowed to stay open for take away during the lockdown we spoke to the owner of one of them about the struggle on by the pandemic. there's been an overabundance of potatoes the government and also the producers and workers make an appeal to eat rice several times a week the standard well there's a glass of potatoes because the coffee shops restaurants and so i want to quote listen it's going to be very hard in different. but we'll try to survive we close the shop on the 18th of february because we thought that nobody could come and me being allowed out when we reopen i think we're going to work at 30 percent capacity

we're going into the unknown anyway this is the end of the lockdown on the 11th of may so we'll see what is going to happen to. the former u.s. national security adviser was apparently being set up by the f.b.i. over alleged russian contacts back in 2017 revelation comes from newly unsealed documents that say there was a lack of derogatory evidence against michael flynn but a former f.b.i. agent still intervened to try and keep the case open. write in notes that since crossfire razor michael flynn was not specifically named as an agent of a foreign power by the original crossfire hurricane predicated reporting the absence of any derogatory information or lead information from these logical sources reduce the number of investigative avenues and techniques to pursue the f.b.i. is closing this investigation hey if you haven't closed raise or don't do so yet. according to the documents f.b.i.

agents discussed the possibility of tricking fallen into lying so you could be prosecuted or fired that's left some believing the bureau deliberately targeted him regardless of evidence now michael flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 for lying about contacting the russian ambassador weeks before donald trump took office the charges were brought as part of the investigation into alleged the russian meddling during the 26000 u.s. election flynn is currently seeking to withdraw as guilty playing the latest evidence will go some way to boosting his chances or president trump has already said he'd give him a job it looks to me like michael sloan would be exonerated based on everything i see. now to judge but i have a different type of power back to your administration. while i think he's a fine man i think it's terrible what they did to him it's something that nobody's asked me but you're asking me for the 1st time i would certainly consider it your. legal and media analyst lynell believes these new documents will play right into

flynn's hands he pled guilty. he was about to be sentenced now we find his new information he has now asked the court to allow him to withdraw that plea of guilty thus read re storing his original plea of not guilty which will then allow the department of justice attorney general bill barr to drop the case once the case is dropped he is free he then can pursue civil litigation against the government for abuse of process for violating his civil rights and the like let me remind everyone that as of today's date and i've been following this decision was lee i still don't know what the russian collusion was at all the investigations you name it from just go from from carter page 2 we still don't know it's as though this theme is been so imbedded in our collective conscience is russian interference

russian meddling the that we're still waiting for evidence of that so if justice prevails general flynn could end up being a very wealthy man because what they put him through and by the by the carter page of us a geisha is still going on but what they did to this and his message should the world is very simple if they can do this to me a lieutenant general retired somebody who is a hero somebody who gave his entire life in support and in print and in defense of his country if they could do this to me and forced me to plead to something that was manufactured what does this mean for the average citizen if the public understands his case that way. sky's the limit so that remains to be seen this may be some way in the future and of course we are just sort of speculating speculating of a stage but do you think from. the job offer and you know if it does take place what sort of capacity will sort of role do you think we can see the former security

adviser in if he is exonerated if he is found is called a no name prosequi if they decide not to prosecute he is as as as pure as the driven snow it never have been people are also asking can deprive president pardon him well there's nothing really to pardon because he will have been exonerated so it's up to the president can you imagine how this will go all the press corps and deep into our state to dare take back a person that the press corps has already sullied and tattooed and deemed to be a security risk or somebody's not worthy of our respect and praise it could be the ultimate slap in the face which in view of such might make it even more likely for the president to establish to the world this is my office these are my rules and this man was never convicted of anything he is presumed innocent this is the american way why not bring him back a man of his experience

a man of his expertise and a man of his tradition. police in the u.k. brace for a summer crime wave on the back of the corona virus epidemic that more after this break. the world is driven by shaped. thinks. we dare to ask.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to the program british police have warned of a crime wave measures are lifted as thousands of young people face unemployment the west midlands crime commission in england says he fears a summer of alcohol fuelled yvonne and the social behavior. i have concerns that we

could have tens if not hundreds of thousands of young people in the west midlands particularly young men who are around about june or july find they have no job to go back to i fear that we may be facing a summer crime wave young men out of work venues reopening in large groups congregating is a toxic mix for crime i'm particularly worried about public order offenses anti social behavior and alcohol fuelled violence. in england alone police have issued almost 9000 fines for people breaching lockdowns almost 200000 coronavirus for both incidents reported so far fines vary up to 1000 pounds while the authorities have also warned that reopening of pubs could add to problems peter kirk i'm a former police officer as a surgeon in crime when the pandemic settles is very likely. when we went into the lockdown with all the cooks specially with the closure of pubs and clubs. and public space effectively. it was predictable that crime associated with those

locations would plummet and that is now working its way through in the statistics that we see. violence street crime drug misuse or drug dealing. lots and lots of things happen in street some basic problem prices have gone down equally predictable is once you release that pressure just like the businesses that have had. no income or very much reduced income for the period of the last sound so the criminals have their. illegal businesses shut down. combat with a vengeance needing to make it last like. thing in the u.k. the charity group has sounded the alarm over whistleblowers being sacked as they attempt to draw attention to the safety issues they're facing during the coverage 19 outbreak legal action is now being considered over the dismissal of staff members the organization called compassion in care has claimed 5 whistleblowers

were fired for highlighting a lack of staff and personal protective equipment they also said that a number of patients were being placed in care homes after released from hospital the career the carers contacted regulators and the authorities 4 weeks ago apparently without response and charity's founder told us that care homes have always been a weak link in the u.k.'s health care system this crisis was forseeable and you know it's been a number of weeks there since stafford been raising concerns about it p.p.a. about lack of staff in is well care homes usually get by on a wing and a prayer. anything goes wrong and everything crumbles and there is the case now where staffer off sick and there isn't anyone to replace the people to contact the good care. you know the stuff that humble me with you know their compassion for the job and you know you don't hear about these health care workers they're going to be given half of all covert care where people are dying and you know i know it's great

that people are clapping for the n.h.s. by say to people clap for these carers they're doing something absolutely amazing they're not trained they've got no equipment and they've got no gratitude and i think that you know at least we can do is to stand up accept for them. the death toll and u.k. care homes as reportedly quadrupled in the last fortnight of those numbers you can see there occurred in just 5 days of the british health ministers as they can by westminster as a response to the pandemic despite being accused warry from the very beginning i wonder if you will take this opportunity to apologize to those families of blog ones who died in care homes because the government didn't properly protect them. that's the thing isn't it i think that's the thing that's unreasonable as a question actually from the start we know we knew that there was

a very significant challenge with condoms the government is down when it comes to the m.l.t. care situation and care and social care is every scene after this at croi and their mistakes are pointed out and those mistakes should have been made i mean people have died needlessly that could have been saved and as it is we've got weems of empty hospital beds and we've got people dying and residential care homes where there are no nurses and these people are dying gasping for air i mean this is no a air a mistake by the government this is a human rights abuse and it needs to be investigated properly and there needs to be accountability for what's happened here and the care workers 2 that continue to work in these conditions every day are important their mental health suffered and there's no help or support from the. and they just feel abandoned by the whole system. despite times call for desperate measures and in a bid to raise much needed funds for hospitals in france

a number of priceless treasures are set to go on to the hammer the culture ministry will auction 100 pieces some of which they back to the 19th century charlotte the minsky has more details from paris. warnings and that the french economy could face it's a recession since the 2nd world war have come to pass meaning that the coded $900.00 crisis has blown a massive hole in the 2nd largest economy this reduced activities may be linked to this is a should normally essential activities since the country dropped a district lockdown in mid march and it seems the french are really struggling so much so they're looking for alternative ways to raise extra cash and with little to no money likely to come in from foreign tourism the french have turned to raiding the family silver per se france has been here before selling off pieces of

national heritage but pulling off so many valuables at once with around $100.00 pieces set to go under the hammer at the same time is reportedly rare and in a country which prides itself on its heritage this really goes against the grain in the past france has been so precious about conserving natural treasures it's banned work sold at auction from leaving the country to allow for time for home grown sons to be raised to buy them and to keep them here when the piece christ mocked by free when a song is artist. was sold at auction for 20000000 euros after decades of lying and discovered hanging in a kitchen france stepped in. i saluted the role played by the system of control over the export of cultural goods for the protection and recent of the national heritage and i thank the members of the advisory commission on national treasures thanks to the time given by this measure every effort can be made to

ensure that this exceptional work and reaches the national collections but now as the economy splutters around a 100 national treasures from the 19th century. and particularly from the reign of louis philip the 1st front since the last king will be sold to the highest bidders the money from the sale in september is going to right into it hands of course to support the country's hard pressed hospitals particularly the foundation for paris hospitals and french hospitals because president is emanuel macaroons wife beijing . r.t. paris. or some european one mike has a feeling the pinch as more than a 1000 bottles go on touched you the global health crisis of a one french i mean pretty has come forward with a money saving suggestion using distillation to separate the alcohol distillation is no alternative certainly less lucrative than the sale of wine but one which will

allow one grows to get by and also to be able to harvest in 2020 what is more the uncle produce can be used in many sectors for example for the manufacture of hydro alcoholic gel for big companies can be more 'd. than distillation is a way for sure to reduce volume and to give them grace the negative effect because people who have to use distillation they weed out the price and so serious price for then they would have trouble and they could ban crude because the when you have players who are. over 102200 sometimes problems with people today and leave they have to. even more they would then we'd have big trouble even with some help of the government. earlier this week france italy and spain asked the e.u. commission to approve a crisis this program at a trade group european wind claims that even supermarket sales are going to help

save the industry. the hotel and restaurant sector is closed down practically everywhere and we have to made a 30 percent of the volume and 50 percent of the value of the european wine market will be lost furthermore there are a few signs of growth in the beginning of march we are now seeing big drops in supermarkets reconfirming the negative trend for the sector french winemaker appear far again believe the crisis could be an opportunity for smaller wine businesses to change for us and for smaller media company because the big players there are enough trouble so far as nobody needed to get to market and also is an opportunity for us to to show the consumer that is more important to use family wine i mean we're all no wine maker wineries than to use a big room wine on the cheap wine. because reports next take

a look at life imitating alex shaffer thoughts are more on the global economy we're back in 30 minutes time with the latest news update. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. 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 it is that we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice but to that's been a problem with the city always turn a bitch and told me stay away almost all to some stuff before that there is no answer because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the

streets to become invisible clerks. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stayner manner a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless dissolute. it's a fungus. it. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away there's a 2nd eldest that's the point any minute i need money to samuel and you missed me doing the nieman i'm studying them in the best understood woods who is going in.

i am i staggered this is the kaiser report i guess you know we're going to talk about more in term about tahoe you know the jobs are not really needed in other part of this lockdown people assume that millions and millions of people losing their job would have something material impact on the fortunes of the economy as a whole but no it only affects the surface clubs the presidents matter fact it's a great opportunity if you're in the banking elite and you see stocks trading higher and bank stocks will mean higher workers are needed taxes are needed when

you can. birth money printer go burn you know.
