4:04 am
fell in. my children and i live or lived with my parents there were 5 of us together and both my dad and mom felt war simultaneously almost at the same time unfortunately i had a phone call on the 6th of april and the doctor himself told me the time and the day of my father's death and offered his condolences. he had been in hospital for 11 days right it was his 11th day on a ventilator yes he passed away on the 6th of april at 8 40 pm and i was emotional because of it i was wondering if you knew about my mom. so they just marked their 45th wedding anniversary this year i'm so ashamed that until their final days i kept saying i didn't have health a strong as my parents my mom for example could go to the research institute she
4:05 am
worked at then go to the university she was a professor at the b. to me all the department and give a lecture there then she went home cooked a meal and did some cleaning the she picked up her grandchildren to look after them i couldn't understand how one person was able to do all that. and your father was a physicist wasn't he yes he was a famous russian and so with laser physicists and experimental physicist his work wasn't just the eerie all his discovery still has a practical use today my parents did a lot and it's a shame they could have done much more sure. footed i waited until the very last moment hoping they would call me and tell me there had been a mistake it can be true i said he was really young daniel was so neat and tidy and he understood by this was a very dangerous thing which is
4:06 am
a fact of everything and we always sanitized our hands even when we traveled from the airport by taxi with doesn't back to the car with alcohol i can't understand how this happened kirk. did he have a chronic diseases of you. know. nothing at all you know he had his heart examined to. years ago but he's too young for heart disease yes just 40 years old did he have diabetes now knows riggs listing conditions he was an absolutely healthy young man yes. people are like was that support you fear nothing with them by your side. people honey you can always rely on. and then. suddenly one of
4:07 am
those walls come. i don't know what will happen to me next. britain now has europe's worst death rate for corona virus more than $30000.00 have died which is no more than italy and puts the u.k. is 2nd only to the united states in terms of lives lost the foreign secretary last night said it too early to make international comparisons i don't think we'll get a real verdict on how well countries have done until the pandemic is over in particularly until we've got comprehensive international data on all cause mortality but i think there's 2 points i'd make about the way the u.k. has approached things there are different ways of counting deaths as we know we've had that debate in this country we now published data includes all deaths in all settings and not all countries do that governments long been criticized for its handling of the breaking clued in making sure hospitals get the stuff on the
4:08 am
protection equipment they've been desperately needing and while the national health service struggles with severe shortages an investigation by britain's guardian newspaper now has revealed that an n.h.s. procurement official has tried to profit from the deadly pandemic by setting up a private firm to sell personal protective equipment. well you do when you work with a supplier. where the price is going up. or the guardian's report revealed that the online business selling p.p. was set up by mid april while the coronavirus crisis in britain was worsening the company allegedly marketed safety kit to the n.h.s. as well as the private sector selling a range of equipment including face shields and smart viruses the health official behind the enterprise claims his involvement was fully disclosed to his n.h.s.
4:09 am
superiors but then the investigating whether or not there was a potential conflict of interest there would take any potential conflicts of interest extremely seriously and as soon as we became aware of these allegations an internal investigation was started david singleton should be flogged he's n.h.s. colleagues at dying and he sell enough people profit. david singleton must lose his job over this he was redirecting p.p.d. that the n.h.s. needed and did so for his own personal gain this must lead to a criminal investigation absolutely despicable to profit from a pandemic costing fountains of lives lost unnecessarily due to the p.p. shortage bourbon singleton you truly have blood on your homes let's get some thoughts on this from the u.k. live now to health policy analyst roy williams also a former chairman of an n.h.s. trust near london wanted to surf time much appreciated are you surprised by these
4:10 am
revelations in the guardian and then it has procurement official as at the early stages of this sort of a private company is that right or wrong what do you think it's wrong and i'm more than surprised morris why i mean clearly what he was doing was profiting profiteering really from an appalling situation where it was widely known as a world sure ship p.p. it's certainly in the u.k. we've struggled to buy enough p.p. on the world markets to make it safe for us frontline nurses and doctors to go to work so what on earth this guy was thinking or other than his own wallet i don't know he's a despicable if all these allegations are true it's a despicable way to go at iraq he says this really was disclosed but now we hear the bosses look at no ad whether there's a conflict of interest ok but as we go into this now that aside for a minute how where you are the national health service is getting or with this p p there is such a huge cry for it is there more available now. it seems to be settling down i
4:11 am
wouldn't say that there are no shields use at all there there are patchy and i understand right now there's a shortage of gluck's particularly in primary care look i mean this this is a global pandemic the factories that produce this equipment are largely in the far east that have been tracked it workers have been hit with the virus the whole supply chain has been disrupted and it's been very difficult to get back on track we went through a very very difficult 10 days i think now the situation stabilized and there are now internal systems to be able to share the stuff around so one regions got more than it needs it can be sent to another region in the big distribution it wasn't just buying it it was sending it to about 158000 addresses which the n.h.s. it was knocking it up to do and that's why we brought in the army to help us do it with hindsight after this summit such only days yet no one knows how long it is
4:12 am
going to go on especially as britain's going away from the e.u. so. they should be stuck to the stuff kept for contingencies in the future you think i think we've learned a terrible lesson over this and you know hospitals and one of the biggest employers in most areas and they have the biggest influence on the local health economies i can't believe we can't make mostyn gowns and gloves at a competitive rate when you discount you know the cost of shipping stuff around the world cost of procurement we must be able to fight locally that money should go back into the local health economy and help get britain back on its feet again looking on as you are as a former chairman of the h.s. trust me in london. britain's as relatively small country highly populated big conurbations but now it's got me a 2nd worst death rate could have been handled better. and i think looking back on it we were probably slow to lock down we would definitely slow our chief scientific officer yesterday told m.p.'s that we were slow to get testing and i thing. you
4:13 am
know we look back on it and say there's a shitload of stuff we could have done better but look we are where we are we going to we're going to work you know for me and i'm not entirely sure that our head of the league table of deaths is a place that will be sustainable i understand today in germany there's some talk of a lot of people look at the virus that haven't been counted it was there at minus nixon's so i guess we really won't know until this is all over at the moment it doesn't matter where we are in the league type of things won't go it do is to find a way out in to take it day by day she say royal health policy analyst and former and h.s. trust chairman to give us a much free time. thank you for watching too this is also international live from moscow with me kevin owen take his for the stories of the day tracing the origins of the coronavirus coming up not only on the white house and u.s. military chiefs on a different page over the evidence of same fizzles a discrepancy among washington's international intelligence allies where on it
4:14 am
after the break. you cannot be both with yeah you're right. the underlying narrative some call it a myth of american foreign policy is the country's exceptional position on the world stage this is the bipartisan consensus however reality is very different the global endemic has demonstrated the u.s.
4:15 am
should focus on its own exceptions. join me every 1st week 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 you then. i get morning scientists mapping the united states coronavirus mortality rate of almost doubled their forecasts predicting now that a total of $135000.00 americans could be lost to the virus by early august as physical distancing measures relaxed. these projections are considerably higher than previous estimates represents and the combined effects model updates and former incorporates in the effect of changes in mobility and social distancing
4:16 am
policies into transmission dynamics. the grim forecast comes as an ice rink in washington d.c. and a car park in brooklyn have been turned into temporary borgs to date the u.s. is by far the country hardest hit by covert 19 the pandemic has claimed more than 70000 lives there with confirmed cases exceeding 1200000 despite the u.s. president has urged states to open their doors for business sharing that impatience to protesters in a number of locations eager to get the looked lifted such as this releasing the new screens in north carolina there are those still plenty of people wearing loosely get up to as our 2 americas forum from reports next. stay at home safer at home lock down all things we've heard to flatten the coronavirus pandemic curve but now after weeks of doing just that states are flipping the switch from closed to open for the 1st time in weeks restaurants bars and casinos in montana are back in
4:17 am
business but with precautions easily we have. for them but as we want to make their number of times is just about every item. individual markets are on a man. now a. very dangerous well let's go out. and the same precautions are seen on the opposite side of the country as florida opens their restaurants but they're only allowed a 25 percent capacity we've been here for the past 4 and a half days gearing up for make sure that we're ready you know sanitizing things making sure that everybody knew the process of what we're going to do to open accordingly and make sure their buddies get safe you know from the to the service after chatting down at your local restaurant you haven't been to in weeks now you can walk in off on the beach in some states like florida texas and south carolina all seeing visitors again also getting beachgoers the green light president donald trump i really believe you can go to parks you can go to beaches you keep it you
4:18 am
know you keep. the spread you keep you stay away a certain amount and i really think the public has been incredible some know not feeling the same i don't think the forum is ready. but. i suspect you'd like. to do this you always put that off while some states are continuing their phase one reopen other states are just fighting to be considered like massachusetts where hundreds gathered at the state capitol calling for the bay state to reopen the virus was real it is real but it was not a reason to shut down the whole country to shut down and shut people and but one area of the country isn't dealing with an open or closed conflict it's more life and death in parts of arizona and new mexico the navajo nation is the largest reservation in the country bigger than west virginia but it has more covert $1000.00 infections per capita just behind the 2 hardest hit states new york and
4:19 am
new jersey with the death toll as of monday night $73.00 more than $2300.00 in fact it despite congress passing a more than $8000000000.00 kovan $1000.00 relief bill the navajo nations are getting help at a snail's pace and washington fair and fronsac r.t. let's get you from state to spring that is for the rights of reactionary times to talk to me rivera morning to you well it's difficult to work out what's going on here we see president confirming the white house coronavirus task force report it's going to be winding down at the same time you hear conversely these huge numbers of infections and deaths in the u.s. was what was going on what should go feeling about this is the right thing to do or not to wines the tiles falls down except for. while listen it's this time and i agree it is time to open up the country i mean even the higher projections come in at $134000.00 total deaths i mean obviously it's disproportionately in those
4:20 am
demographics that are the most vulnerable but those demographics that of the most vulnerable need to continue their social distancing and they need to continue so who are in tuning listen over the last 6 weeks there have been over 30000000 new unemployment claims in america and the st louis bed came out with a report at the end of march stating that up to 47000000 americans may lose their job and you know that 18 percent spike in unemployment you know over the past 6 weeks is a very scary number the president was very clear about him wanting you know the cure not to be worse than the disease you know i mean we america really at this point in order to save in a sense the global economy needs to get back to work in a lot of countries need to continue mitigation factors in the high risk areas obviously it's going to be different opening up north dakota that it's going to be
4:21 am
opening up new york city but we have to take a commonsense approach to it the politicians there in the local areas have to take the you know the measures that are best suited for the climate currently right where they are where they are but as a whole i think not only in america but there's a lot of countries the should be opening up their economy you know everybody in the u.s. thinks that we've seen trump adults with state governors. along party lines because of course there's this big vote coming up for trouble later another year you want to see if they get back to normal quickly but not everyone it seems in the u.s. is the only site that. while they're not on this side because there's a there's 2 different types of people in america there's actually many different types of people in america but i'm going to simplify this you know this caught with for this conversation here we have people they really want out so bad and they're willing to go ahead and live basically depended on the government so if they lose
4:22 am
their jobs if they're going to get so-called living wage or if the government's going to provide everything for themselves and the trade off is that you get rid of trump there's people that are you know suffering from the so-called prompt arrangements and drum to the point where they're willing to sacrifice their country just to get this one of. theirs and there's a huge 2nd spike what's going to do then i don't anticipate that there will be to be honest with you i think that the common sense social distancing measures if we bring it in phases where these restaurants are allowing 25 percent capacity then it goes up to 50 percent capacity it's not like we're going to go ahead and restart the n.b.a. the n.h.l. major league baseball and we're going to have 60000 people gathering include confined you know confined conditions it's not going to be that way i mean will there be a spike will there be additional cases of course there's going to be but it's not going to spike you know by a factor of 10 or by
4:23 am
a factor of 20 or by any of these other numbers that the pure mongers are trying to go ahead and put out there to try to keep people indoors americans by nature are not going to allow themselves to be kept indoors forever well. you know rivera editorials are a reaction to make the time to be with us and give the few from the states who are not international today say well you so much for having me. on the next united states top general says it's still not known whether or not the corona virus originated in a wet market in china and from a lab or elsewhere and he's come from seals who reaffirmed the official view that the virus was probably natural and not made that said all of them with recent repeated remarks from president trump and the secretary of state might pump a 0 and insist china's to play one way or another it's not going to discrepancy in the scale of mopin explains. theories pushed by u.s. officials claiming that somehow the virus originated in a laboratory in ruhani are not getting supported by key u.s.
4:24 am
allies it's now emerged that new data collected by the united states canada new zealand australia and the united kingdom the countries that make up the so-called 5 eyes is shedding doubt on the idea that the virus originated in a laboratory we think it's highly unlikely it was an accident it is highly likely it was naturally occurring and that the human infection was from natural human and animal interaction the 5 eyes is an alliance set up to share top secret data this weekend australia's daily telegraph published what it called a 15 page leaked dasi a compiled by the 5 eyes that was supposed to back up claims that the virus originated in a laboratory now the report gathered a lot of attention but intelligence officials were quick to point out that it was based on gathered news reports not actual evidence my instinct is that it was a tool for building a counter narrative and applying pressure to china so it's the intent behind it
4:25 am
that's most important so possibly open source leads with a classification slapped on it the australian government backs the idea that the virus originated in china's fresh produce markets we can't rule out any of these arrangements that's what i said the other day but to the most likely has been in a wild life what market despite what is being said by other investigators u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o claims he knows something that they don't have in you saying anything that gives you high confidence that it originated in that will help in the lab where there's enormous effort us that that's where the spigot turn has a history of infecting the world now the world health organization is running out of patients they want evidence to back up these fantastic claims we haven't received and he did are specific evidence from the us government releasing to the port of origin of where. or. from our perspective this remains speculative chinese media is calling my campaign you insane while top intelligence
4:26 am
sources are saying these claims just don't add up without presenting any evidence u.s. officials are sticking to their story even though it's a pretty wild one trump has completely totally blown the response to a coronavirus us cases are shooting through the roof i. guess lotus bricks projected to double over the next few months the government has shown itself to be absolutely helpless. and raining and that this pandemic and trump is facing serious problems when it comes to the upcoming election so he's very worried and desperate he needs to i divert attention from his own his own awful record so therefore he's the future an enemy and he seems he thinks he's found one in china trump is has been unable to marshal any evidence at all
4:27 am
so yeah it's very dangerous the 2 sides are are very angry with one another and no one knows where where it will lead and therefore the other countries are extremely worried and therefore and are hoping to sort of to lower the temperature trumpet shows no signs of doing stuff well the same way things look in so far this wednesday the 6 of my from moscow table continue to keep you fully posted 24714 is when the world of social media non-si don't come my name's kevin owen thank you for watching but with more half an hour to stay safe well and have a good thing. lucky . banks geysers financial collapse
4:28 am
a little place a little bit of bellatrix. close to tears if this is the central plank support diabolo is going to call them right now so stop the. the world is driven by shaped by one person those words. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. when i almost choked small seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't call. me old but yet to shape out these days you can't get agitated and in gains from an
4:29 am
equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground. on the river. and i on this board we're. all a part of the mob out on the way or the local or the what we're. going to pull. out of.
4:30 am
this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss. in washington coming up the u.s. treasury department says it will need to borrow nearly trillion dollars in just a few months raising questions about what this could mean long term and a number of troops lines across the globe are facing criminal investigations will prosecutors claim that money set sail without fully disclosing the risks involved we have a packed show for you today so let's go and die write it. as of tuesday global deaths from coronavirus top 254000 the number of cases stand more than 3600000.
