well the competition between the countries but the most urgent. endeavor of our life has its day's headlines marty international and world leaders pledge of a 7000000000 euros to find a vaccine for coronavirus but there were a notable absences from monday's virtual summit to. italy takes its 1st steps into life after the world's longest lock down but it seems you ready to rush out side of the times the. ghosts of the birds just to put across. the sport despite as you can see there are also many. and in other news today venezuela accuses the u.s. a porpoise treating a 4 wheeled scene where

a design to oust the country's socialist president and assassinate officials. we were able to uncover of these terrorist incursion of which we have been victims of government of the united states of america is fully and completely full history. by the very good afternoon to you thanks you companies choose day life for martin financials world news center here in moscow my name is kevin owen i'm here for the next 30 minutes for the round up for you as it stands so far today and 1st and the latest covert 19 figures the pandemic still has a big grip around the world with over 3600000 coronavirus cases. the number of deaths is now risen above a quarter of a 1000000 but more than 1200000 people are now known to have made her recovery.

in latest developments for you world leaders have pledged to almost 7 and a half 1000000000 euros to fund development of a coronavirus vaccine and video conference on monday falling just slightly short than of the target set by the european commission which organized the fundraiser with a moron who stepped up to the plate and who didn't show up is our europe correspondent peter oliver. monday's online summit ended with a presentation hosted by european commission president live on the line and which they said how much these nations were going to be giving and why this was an important joint cooperation honestly the presentation looked a little bit like a cross between a telephone and the results section of the euro vision song contest but instead of order issuing points to various different nations well they were issuing pledges of in some cases hundreds of millions of year 0 the overarching message though coming out from what the world leaders had to say was that this has to be

a joint effort internationally and at no stage can it turn into an arms race we have to join forces pull our money and our minds to kick start work on vaccines diagnostics and treatments against coronavirus so the sun when the vaccine is ready yet has to be for the worldwide public good it has to belong to us all the race to discover the vaccine to defeat this virus is not a competition between countries but the most urgent shared endeavor of our lifetimes it's humanity against the virus we have a common vision that does not want people 1st everywhere one of those nations not taking part was the united states of america donald trump's america 1st policy doesn't really sit all that well alongside international cooperation the u.s. . the president has said that he's confident in his country discovering

a vaccine to the corona virus we are very confident that we're going to have a vaccine at the end of the year by the end of the year have a vaccine it's not just the u.s. president expressing that sentiment senior u.s. officials as well have said they're not sure about getting involved in a co-operative effort to find a covert 19 vaccine saying that the commercial implications the geo political implications of having such a vaccine might not be worth sharing biomedical research has long been a focus of theft especially by the chinese government and vaccines and treatments for the corona virus are today's holy grail putting aside the commercial value that would be great you political significance to being the 1st to develop a treatment or vaccine we will use all the tools we have to safeguard american research also not present on that video call with russia's president vladimir putin's russia has said they support this global initiative but are supporting it only as an observer so far that may change as things develop down the line but for

those that did take part they said as i said the overarching message was that it's only through international cooperation that we can find a solution to the coronavirus that works for all nations around the planet. italy's getting its 1st taste of life after lock down with measures slowly being eased workers and small business owners turned out to raise awareness of just how dire people's finances are worsened by the early 2 months of confinement. desperate to try and get their livelihood back on track they demanded being allowed to reopen the businesses and appealed for leaders to grant tax breaks to prevent the vital venetian tourism and food industries from collapsing italy was the 1st nation of course to impose strict measures as coronavirus took hold in what was europe's 1st flashpoint the country's also suffered the world's 3rd highest number

of deaths 4000000 italians headed back to work than on monday while others got their 1st prolonged period out in the fresh air in 2 months but many were in no rush as well as for brits to give the who lives in the adriatic coast showed us but up on it we are free to call the. people of all. the still not that large as the big groups but it's just people who knows each other at least so. he was. riding on my bike secure as you can see there are no cars on the lot it's one of the few good gigs this lock down i mean really bored to do so obviously here it was. after 45 days of lockdown spottiswoode guy sees the everything he's closed to open all day our economic activities. copters both spoke to dave's that he is the cause for most. people.

of this work despite as you can see there are so many. people living in neighboring france will have to wait at least another week they're currently in lockdown until may the 11th after which is going to be compulsory for people to wear masks in public a paris correspondent challenged bensky looks at the shifting attitudes to keeping covered. from next week everyone in france who uses public transport that includes taxis and the likes of will be obliged to wear one of these now if you work in a job where you can't physically distance yourself from your colleagues if you work in a supermarket or in a school or attend a secondary school you'll also have to cover up and if shops request it all shoppers will also have to dawn a face mask to enter. the world if you were going to have to live with the virus

since no vaccine will be available in the immediate future no treatment has yet proven to be effective and since we're far from achieving the much talked about herd immunity the virus will continue to spread among us 2020 it seems will be the year of the mask but just a few weeks ago the advice from the french government was very different we are requisitioning all stocks and production of medical masks distribute them to health professionals and to the french people affected by the virus in fact the french government even went as far as where quiz issue name all the masks in france meaning that they were only available by prescription or for health workers well anyone found with one of these and was looking to potentially sell them felt the full force of the law and when some french mayors in france tried to enforce wearing masks compulsory they were taken to court the interior minister at the time said that orders to wear mosques were the only issue so what prompted this huge u.

turn some french media outlets reported this was simply an issue with supply and demand frogs didn't have enough mosques so they would not necessary but production has since been ramped up and the tune has now changed we must wear them as the science is changed to you and anyone who doesn't will face following. to add insult to injury health workers off eeriest mosques will suddenly be available for all when they've often had to go without how can it be that our caregivers could not be equipped with masks when the staggering numbers of masks sold to the public by certain distribution channels and now it's with return thing where all the while the latest advice one from these government goes over and above w h o's own guidance if you are healthy you only need to worry about ask if you are

taking care of a person with covert 19 it also advocates that masks are only effective if they are worn and disposed of properly now what's perhaps even more bizarre is that the french government is now demanding that people cover up of the ease of telling them not to such as france's ban on the full face veil in public areas now the arguments used to bring in that law included that face coverings prevented the clear identification of a person and they were social hindrance on an open society well good luck with with one of the and only a year ago france approved a bill banning protesters from using mosques violators could face 6 months in prison and a fine of thousands and thousands of euros it really seems to some that the french government is perhaps making up policy on the hoof and who knows by this time next week it may have changed its mind again and decide that we don't need face masks

after all charlotte even ski r.t. paris. team for a bit now venezuela's government says it's foiled an attempted c. incursion from neighboring colombia which the president says was an attempt to oust him and the south node officials knew it was would do a accuses the united states of orchestrating the operation and show the passports indeed of 2 americans detained in connection. if we were able to uncover these terrorist incursion of which we have been victims we know that the united states government assigned the drug enforcement agency to plan b. section and the signed a private company silver corps for the operational planning the government of the united states of america is fully and completely involved in these really defeated by the solid civic military police union of venezuela. both the u.s. and colombian officials deny the allegations its claim to militants tried to reach

venezuelan shows on speed boat but were intercepted by the armed forces also that a u.s. military veteran later admitted organizing the failed incursion and that the 2 detained americans were working for him to detain president maduro and quote liberate venezuela is a tease caleb maupin. with the world's attention focused on the pandemic attempts to find a cure seems like the perfect time to a law suit then his wailing has just experienced events that sound like they come from a hollywood movie the military there says they've ordered an armed invasion but then the arrow. they try to carry out an invasion by syllable of terrorist in their series from colombia in order to commit terrorist acts in the country murdering leaders of the revolutionary government venezuelan officials declared victory 8 members of an armed group were kill others were arrested weapons were seized now

that is weighing on officials say that these weapons had actually been stolen during a coup attempt last year as a result of the immediate reaction several of the aforementioned most news were killed in a confrontation and others were captured some linked to drug trafficking who puts issa pated in the organization of the terrorist operation a significant amount of weapons and equipment was also retained. both of which were stolen and used in the so books of action of april 30th 2019 so who was behind this operation according to the associated press reports it was a former u.s. special operations officer named jordan godhra who works with retired venezuelan military leaders to plan an invasion they planned to use $300.00 venezuelan military defectors to seize the capital within 96 hours now that's easy to dismiss as a conspiracy theory except we have video evidence here is x.

green beret jordan god drew explaining and confirming the existence of operation getting in a daring and fabulous raid was launched from the border of colombia deep into the heart of caracas our men are continuing to fight right now our units have been activated in the south west and east of venezuela commander in the act is with me is colocated and commander sic a is on the ground now fighting video shows that participants in operation getty and were wearing blue armbands blue armbands that were very similar to those warren by the soldiers who participated in the coup attempt by opposition figure juan dueto last year but the. company i don't. want to give. up but if u.s. backed opposition figure who won dueto denied any involvement he called these events

fabricated this is a fabricated montage or a criminal act manipulated by the dictatorship to continue the persecution towards the interim government the national assembly and the democratic forces he hasn't commented on the video but there's also a new twist a document has emerged purporting to be a $212000000.00 contract between juan wedo and god through security forces you allege is. he hired them to pull off a coup and later god drew complained that he did not get paid this is certainly not the 1st coup attempt in venezuela april 29th team saw operation freedom a bold attempt to sweep madeira out of office that also failed now what exactly the coup plotters got wrong this time isn't clear but more details are sure to emerge what is very clear is that u.s. efforts to destabilize venezuela are in full swing regardless of the global situation as venezuela watchers we're going was grown accustomed to seeing is

repeated in terms. of sheer terrorism of the invasion of venezuela in maritime space in land space. history violation of all international law were not appropriate by any stretch of the imagination but this lone superpower who remains over the world because they have the right sue starve in blockade and manipulate elections install their own. self anointed presidential. individual in one guy though one way though has continually sold out his his own people. this is economic warfare and when that doesn't give them the result they want they resort to. actual military missions no different than the $200.00 plus u.s. military invasions of the southern hemisphere just in the 20th century if the us to

continue to carry out these tyrants at the time it was global pandemic demonstrates just how thirsty they are so more bloodshed. will continue to keep an eye on that and this to kind of puff the brake on our t. global stocks have taken another hit to president trump threaten to renew that trade war with china as a punishment the pandemic. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that. i am.

well again early may is spring holiday season here in russia the temptation to get outside proving too much for some with people gathering for picnics and barbecue to

spot the serious health warnings about social distancing your throat is a conducting aerial surveillance that in the skies above the moscow region which accounts for more than half of russia's known infections which are growing rapidly in fact new in the country's daily new infection rate we can tell you it was again more than 10000 today tuesday more than half are here in moscow the number of recoveries has climbed as well to almost 20000 although it may be hard to believe despite all this we've been through together seems the message hasn't got through every worry and there's the added problem as well of wild theories flying about about the origins of the coronavirus more that next the more senior correspondent. this is a difficult. time for for everyone people are choosing to rationalize that to deal with this with this virus with how the world has been turned upside down in very different ways some some choosing to you know blame it on an act of god saying

that this is divine punishment others are saying that the virus came from a chinese lub oratory or an american laboratory others yet saying it's the work of 5 g. towers that are being rolled out in a manner loose people is a famous russian oscar winning film director nikita mccall cough who is now joining the 5 g. conspiracy bandwagon he's he's in the train tooting the horn of standards and i repeat this is not a vaccine outcome an understanding that it's a microchip it's quite serious this fact is officially documented and there's a feeling of some little 1000000 fuck one of his claims is that bill gates and microsoft of people technology and they're going to start vaccinating people against the virus and at the same time putting little microchips in them to control them and to control the world's population his show ran twice on russian state

television it was supposed to run 8 times but the higher ups eventually came to their senses and pulled the program the film director who obviously isn't used to having his work taken off air was very unhappy and called as an act of censorship but there are those that took him at his word and in the southern russian republic they banded together and they burned down a cell tower saying that 5 g. and mubarak networks are to blame for the corona virus which is being spread and was designed by hidden world powers. they were trying to prove this to me and i didn't argue with them however unfortunately they are going further for instance they recently burnt a mobile phone masts near the village of no care and the village has been left without any connection just like a virus this tidal wave of idiocy and conspiracy lunacy arrived in russia from

abroad with a slight delay from europe and the united states where there's been a lot of fear a lot of panic and a lot of nonsense floating about about 5 g. networks. to date there has been no evidence new studies that prove that 5 g. is dangerous dangerous to to people and if we cost back a decade or so ago when 3 g. networks were being rolled out there was much the same fear it was panic that they would cause all sorts of diseases all sorts of infections cancers viruses whatever and of course they didn't but this this fear is being aided and abetted by

a slew of high profile figures and celebrities like mickey that me how call of who make people even more afraid people who stress them sitting in isolation who who need an outlet and this is a destructive cycle but off the top of my head i can't think of a way that you can get the coronavirus from a 5 g. tower if you would to climb up 5 feet out and stand next to the antenna and boskone the radiation and then you sleep and you fell and you fell or the possible by who had proven then yes you probably could blame a 5 g. talent for being infected with the coronavirus. the battered world economy is going to take a lot of t.l.c. to repair but president trump's already itching to get back to a trade war with china which he's convinced should carry the can for the coronavirus pandemic but are you considering new tariffs on china as sort of

a punishment for their handling of the virus well it's the ultimate punishment i will tell you that washington's renewed attacks on china have caused global markets already reeling from a pandemic to plunge even further or monday european stocks fell sharply despite being slightly eased in some of the region's biggest economies as you mentioned just now elsewhere south korea and hong kong also showed a significant drop trogs latest claims against china also weighed heavily on the u.s. stocks and while from tariffs on beijing some suggest that washington could even refuse now to pay the debt it owes to china which amounts to a staggering $1.00 trillion dollars. the has over a trillion dollars in u.s. bonds and other currencies dollars they're holding a great amount of the u.s. debt but so is the rest of the world and the whole world owes a u.s. owes the whole world in terms of the bonds and if they did that the china they would send a real signal that oh the u.s.

navy ray nagin paying his interest payments on his bonds and that would have a real devastating effect so that will never happen trade with china has already collapsed. and there's a big move to bring back some of the a protection equipment that had moved to china and the supply chains back to the u.s. a growing movement for that in the u.s. to bring some of these industries back so he is reflecting the his political base his right wing political base which is trying to blame china its wars for the problems in the u.s. which are really exist in the u.s. because of the terrible mismanagement of this this whole virus by the trump administration he's not getting the exports that he wanted anyway so he figures he's got nothing to lose of blame the chinese blame everybody else and chinese is just the latest in a long line of finger pointing to everybody else well this way things are looking

so far this cheese and 5th made from moscow good our team we will of course continue to keep it fully posted 24 seventh's prostate is around the world of social media and r.t. don't go home and kevin away but with more half an hour meantime revocation did run the globe thank you for it and to stay safe and well and of course have a great day. i think ron to china will hand. and the saudis are trying to disrupt the american a shell industry oh my god imagine that they're trying to disrupt the american

shell industry. you can't be both with me yet you will. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to get us out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision little sheltered lives every song came to

a complete. the day that i was raped be instructed you know told to shut up or they'd kill me and i see how destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in and he graham my arm and he write me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and 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 thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. 14 is more likely to get the victim punished. and almost 20 year career which i was 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 issue of power and violence male sexual predators for the large part of whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women. i've heard.
