working with image putting adopted in mr putin godawful colleagues and he must have almost i would like to present a number of undiluted co. it's most outcomes that we have. talking about the month of as a problem that excise should it went down by 30 percent. mostly because of the pneumonia and deferral to naturism versus production cuts and of course income taxes it went down by 14 percent. i think should we take into account that is being what's made at the same time when salaries are. naturally industry which was dealt immediate blow we see that today we have. 30 percent of companies in the retail market and non-working and their revenues went

down by. 25 to sanya we break it down into the weeks of the station measures like the 1st week in the last week that we have now we can see that the number of companies not working in the retail business unit showing up. by again 25 percent and. the revenues which we generate today were also. consumption a few oil went down in the 1st week but today last week we have. used as a huge decrease accumulating and you know that it is it will move as his 80 percent of the mass of the magister we adopt in order to maintain the situation the desirable level since what's the point what half 7000000 kompany is in russia and they've been given away by us for their taxation documents they don't need to file so the day documents for a while they will log being in. some time all the specialists and have been stopped

coding for those companies who work with foreign current systems of. the industry which we have been hit hardest well we should break it down into 2 groups well these are the companies we are not subject to which was the reunion and you know just if it is the unix ation. and they can be entitled to extensions there is a monitor henri i'm on bad group c. as for small and medium sized. but he is working in the regions of russia i can tell you that if you are with me in diesel area and we have a giving disk apres opportunity automatically they've pavements we've been giving them subsidies to maintain jobs fell financial records that late and that's how the industry's reassures been suffering the most i can say that one the force of the old kompany is saying and and turpin is in russia and you.

have been and they feel they are allowed to see the help of them which we've been discussing them with such as automatic away those will kompany as you well know and they don't need to pay their taxes today it's being deferred to a later date automatically which. would you say we have a number of groups of companies like those who would do you think. they will be pay after 6 months and those who do this to pay at the end of march do we pay in enough to inform us which is. most a month we have 2017 1000000000 rubles giving them the companies such as which i mentioned the help will have 1500000000 kompany as we are to receive that help. as of today can tell you that the. we so far

have given 1400000000 rubles so that's because today we have holidays and we are not receiving any. applications with these help because of that. we set the sticks shows that we will see over 50000 applications coming from companies all across russia out of the day and finally the instructions which we were given to subsidize competencies who. want to maintain what college up levels that degree was issued on the 24th of april and diverse a good mood we have this. deployed every american has that we have an order to each of those subsidies and that was done started from the 1st. night and let me. again all year which kompany is are entitled to that help 1st these are the companies which are small and medium sized those who operate in the 6 day

to. industry you know areas those who have no. dads and we know that over 1200000 kompany are was in that grove employed over 4000000 people and so there is any might or is a ration to make that. are also an attorney for us so not only companies but antipathy is entitled to his financial health on the measures that we have already adopted. we have issued come a day should stick companies and who are entitled to such subsidies we informed them. through letters on it massachusetts are how to apply for his help also we have all the to make in our website and now people can put in their 1st known insurance religious traditions and in this way they will get to

know whether they are entitled or not but you can file were very detailed as you can see we thought we'd bring it'll be more on the president putin they're heading there actually committee big panel of ministers 13 of them and then behind that another page show all the other people are saying up there were the regional governors around russia president putin absorbing all the information in because we think maybe later on today he's going to say something or next couple of days about where russia is going to go after the 11th next monday that's the locked and extended till then but the big question is what's going to happen after that and it all depends on what these guys say now we've already heard there from the health. minister the economy minister on the tax services well big news for businesses in russia will be pleased to hear that the tax services said that red tape for businesses will be relaxed during the lockdown anyway we'll bring you more on that throughout the evening and take it apart a bit more i'm also trying to bring you all of what president putin decides to do

with russia in the coming days when he makes that decision if it's today or tomorrow whenever it comes we'll bring it to you now let's look at the state of play regarding russia in the stats as they stand today re coronavirus thanks for watching r.t. international by the way it's kevin with the we brought that coverage across the let me recap where we are the country continues to see sharp daily rises in registered in factions is not great news to tell you russia is now the 5th most affected country and has the highest rate of new infections in europe registered deaths soever all that said remain low currently at $1537.00 and as we heard from those ministers just now as well the health minister it seems there are 146000 beds that are available for anyone who may need them over the coming days or weeks no problem with bed capacity at the moment is a little bit of good news to take some worry away or the numbers of course don't reveal the extent of the very deep personal grief suffered by the families who've

lost so much artie's online series epidemic has been hearing from people who suffered tragic losses early on in the outbreak but it is still unclear what was happening or where this was going to go. i want to go home when will you pick me up and those were his last words. i was such a skeptic i had so much bravado about the coronavirus i was taking a suburban train to moscow it was the last working week i had to deliver aid to movies i have a studio session and i have a studio we both fell ill as for me i have the health of an ox i know i feel sick and i don't remember what a high temperature looks like a 38 up to 39 degrees celsius then i realize that this cold with 90 and things was rio the chief medical officer said he's taken my husband under his personal

responsibility everything will be taken care of of course everything will be all right as i was approaching the entry road to moscow got to be run out of times he was gone. the whole family fell ill 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 of 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 when 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 can't say i didn't have health a strong as my parents my mom for example could go to the research institute she worked at 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 good laser physicist and experimental physicist his work wasn't just the eerie all his discoveries still have practical use today my parents did a lot and it's a shame they could have done much more. as

did 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 buyers was very dangerous which is in fact did everything and we always sanitized our hands even when we traveled from the airport by taxi wait doesn't the fact of the car with alcohol i can't understand how this happened or. did he have a chronic disease just because of you. know. nothing at all he had his heart. examined 3 years ago but he's too young for heart disease yes he's just 40 years old did he have diabetes now have no preexisting conditions he was an absolutely healthy young man yes.

people are like was that supporting you fear nothing with them by his side. people when you can always rely on. and then. suddenly one of those walls come. i don't know what will happen to me next. elsewhere britain now has europe's worst death rate for corona virus more than $30000.00 have died which is now more than italy and puts the u.k. 2nd only to the united states in terms of lives lost but the foreign secretary says it's 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 and 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 bets in all

settings and not all countries do that governments long been criticized for his handling of the breaking clearly making sure hospitals get the stuff the protection and equipment they've been desperately asking for and while the national health service struggles with severe shortages meantime an investigation by britain's guardian newspaper has revealed that the n.h.s. procurement official one of them as tried to profit from the deadly pandemic by setting up a private firm to sell personal protective equipment. well we're going to work with . the crocodile and. the guardian's report revealed that the online business selling p.p. was set up 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 devices the health official

behind the enterprise claims his involvement was fully disclosed to his n.h.s. superiors but now nonetheless they're investigating whether there's a potential conflict of interest we 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 his n.h.s. colleagues said dion and he sell enough people profit david singleton must reduce its job over this he was redirecting p p e 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 thousands of lives lost unnecessarily juta the p.p. shortage they've been singled him you truly have blood on your hands earlier i discussed the revelation on the p.p. shortage with british health policy analyst and former n.h.s.

trust chairman royally. morris fight i mean clearly what he was doing was profiting profiteering really from an appalling situation where it was widely known there's a world shortage to p.p. and 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 of other than his own wallet i don't know he said despicable if all these allegations are true it's a despicable way to ask it to act he says that it was disclosed but now we hear the boss is looking no at 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 wouldn't say that there are no should use at all there are there are patchy and i

understand right now there's a shortage of gluck's particularly in primary care with hindsight after this some of such early days yet you know no one knows how long this is going to go on especially as britain is going away from the e.u. so we should be stocks of the stuff kept for all 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 mass than 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 healthy economy and help get britain back on its feet again. now just bit earlier on the if you are watching about half an hour ago you are seeing that action committee being chaired by vladimir putin a lot of ministers a lot of regional governors there around russia giving their feedback in what the latest position is never looking ahead to what might happen on monday when the

current lockdown is due to be lengthened or more maybe loosen of all depends on what's being said when to go our correspondent is listening into the ongoing presser at the moment after this break.

yes. the witch is dead for an extortionist private equity job. recorded game changing record breaking losses as berkshire hathaway a company goes belly up. by getting the back to our top story president putin right now chairing a video meeting with key ministers to work up plans of potentially lift russia's coronavirus measures from next week so far he said that any russian measures could make the situation worse so a lot of caution they were already health heard from the health economy tanks of his ministers the environmental health minister speaking now listening into that he

goes down off our correspondent let's cross over to him for these rights ban in now is talking he's the moscow mayor let's go to him. it has to do with people interacting physically interacting well as the services are provided the right. strains. drones. will get a huge supermarkets etc. the movie so this starts before operation in these and to prizes. actually throw us back so we have can of with a set are free to try to. we have agreed. to do it in that we need to take into account the specifics of h. reachin him bull so that the system is less

richards. and so they stage by stage listing all of the measures of the restrictions in this and other enterprises such as all construction agriculture others need to be regulated by the regions of russia themselves however. we create a need to take into account the conditions that have been set for them by the doctors by the relevant federal authorities and local authorities as well if you so the. rules there will be 2 documents for the 2 sectors 1st the services sector that will be regulated by doctors and as for industry and other sectors this is the responsibility of the hands of the regions and must ask for moscow's set of

players analyze the situation in detail with respect to what's happening in the city over recent day we have. increased by many fold the number of tests. they trends that we see. does not clearly indicates the rate of infection is growing. more month this side so that. moscow has a strong system of c.t. scans so we are testing people for pneumonia and other cold related conditions which allows us to. see to 2. to find more rules of people with the patients with go with which allows us to

treat them. at an earlier stage i'd like to say that we have been working with the. ministry of health that have been working with us. and. we have a network of centers to treat go that. long and put it. in different regions and the main criteria. or further decisions to be made is that. in the upcoming 2 weeks. when you go to rome and you know these are the 2 weeks then that will allow us to actually make some conclusions although they are these 2 weeks we haven't seen a rise in hospitalized patients. so the number of i.c.u. patients is generally on the same level so the situation is stabilizing. effect.

as for 'd what decisions can be made in this situation we believe that it's going to. war. that it is too early for the service sucks or to remove the lockdown measures unfortunately more. it is the situation is not ripe yes however this gives us an opportunity. of goodwill to allow starting on may 12th. to start so let's all construction companies and all other industrial companies to start operation. which will allow over several 1000000. to return to work this is very important for the country's economy from moscow's economy because. of

history moscow's enterprises create over 3500000 jobs in the country especially the construction industry and other industry the energy industry. as well as we talk about dance yesterday and you agreed with me that this decision is possible however they love. restrictions will not be lifted yet. the general restrictions were pretty we will just be allowing these enterprises these interest rates to return to work. and the work of these surprises needs to be regulated. according to the norms and regulations said by our medical professionals. i believe that this is the decision that is possible in moscow today. thank you so

much as yesterday we discussed this and i fully support the party of sad i believe that our plans for opening after the majority of companies pushes for most climate action industries and struction size are welcome from the ground it on purpose we need to do that again as an ordinary chain where the. healthcare professionals. now like to remind you special attention should betray you is a company. that we need to be working on a fact and to make that happen the whole chain of supply should be working as clockwork process that's for you to do i don't think it will be hard for you if you just need to sit down towards the house of russia's region and establish how the. supply chains are. distributed across russia we need to lay down their groundwork

for future success now i would like to go back to the 1st. one of the. nothing which has to do with supporting the people who work at these social welfare institutions of course. you know something for the regional forward today kirov so . again i would just like jewish hear more about that from the minister of labor and social welfare. to him. get down and. what should we prepare all of us which is lose. all right well you heard get more of it now you just heard from surrogates about in the moscow man and his words of caution his recommendations to putin on what may happen next in this huge city he compared to the russian regions would may be moved to the next couple of days couple of weeks to moscow could deal with the we heard the testing of moscow's

improve greatly some optimism the situation is stabilizing a little there but the figures still not great too soon he said for the service sector to remove the long term measures that could be bad news for the pubs the restaurants etc etc but it's got to be done we don't know yet what putin's going to say but this is the recommendation from surrogates have been in. we're also hearing from may the 12th there will be construction companies industrial. companies allowed to start a limited operation with a lot of precautions that mean several 1000000 muscovites could go back to work but the overall recommendation is from circus a brand into the president of the lock down restrictions will not generally be lifted yet igor's down off back to our correspondent listing in eagle no great surprises there given the amount of people that have been testing positive although we're hearing in russia this huge city that it is stable it's still not great reading is it so i suppose no great surprise to hear the recommendation that this

lockdown will probably continue are to monday. well absolutely kevin let's start with moscow and indeed it is the largest city and most in russia's regions many of them they have been mirroring those measures taken in moscow and they've built in them state house and settle the russian capital has even wrote a virus but moscow's rage against is done he has gave very careful announcing the under the at least the limit to no construction at industrial companies. he has been very very cautious his chest and it does not mean that the policy of self isolation that is over there has lifted the notion that it does not mean that and essentially that everything is supposed to stay as it is but in just these 2 these 2 types of businesses and industries they will be able to come back to give some extra cash to breathe some life into russia it's the economy also pointed out that

while most human is not leading in the. cove at 19 it is not indicative according to them it is not indicative of the but in a look at the situation in russia is just he says the most who has honed as an old steps to consistent has expanded its over 1000 testing system greatly interested it is surely needs new cases it is it manages to get us to under awful new cases doesn't mean that more people get infected in just more people and more tests of being make that film of people being discovered for instance more than 40 percent of food in russia with gold at 19 they are not showing in a sentence so it is so so essentially so those who felt concerned that it might be a good idea to do a test they went they did it and they found out they had robots and that they

didn't feel that they didn't feel any sense. he didn't feel sick but also with help from russia's chief senate every doctor and she has allowed us a glimpse as do russian plans to let these warranty measures when it decides it is a good idea to do so. it. is just not in 3 steps step one people will be allowed exercises outside step 2 or small businesses will be allowed to reopen and steps 3 pox will be reopened as well so this is the general outline of the 3 steps me on. russia's chief senate he has suggested that she has authored that she spoke on the table. lot of the rest of the russian media sitting that i'm missing some of the suggestions to listen to him before what's his.
