i found out they had roadblocks and that they didn't feel that they didn't feel any symptoms at all they didn't feel sick but also with help from russia's chief senator every doctor and she has allowed us a glimpse as do russian plans to nest these quarantine 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 who are small businesses will be allowed to reopen and steps 3 hawks will be reopened as well so this is the general outline of the 3 steps me on that russia's chief senate he has suggested that she has and she's still on the table. lot of the rest of the russian media sitting there on this into all the suggestions to listen to him who it's his stress

that it's very important to know how to use it she didn't keep the program. to keep russia or russia to stay a country that was successfully blocked me cold at 98 here's what he had to say i'll listen. but there is no one single template but i would only want what we have to adopt strict measures and they should be maintained that even you know what you may given all of the rich at and sometimes they can be out you and that can be done in close coordination but experts in the health care professional staking look out all the risks but it's factis who we should not be getting ahead of ourselves in any failure any m a ship can. put us. back we may risk the lives of our people and we will be responsible for you that. we are highly responsible for any mistake that we make but let's not forget about

that. so betty out from this is not to get ahead of ourselves which quite likely means that often monday in washington well they will tell us and russia will largely remain the same but because the thing to understand about the situation is 19 here is that while there is any russia exactly new cases by around 10000 it's about the fight about 10000 excuse me date the mortality rate is really me in the low compared to most other nations with similar fates presidents people of him i've already said that more than 40 percent of those infected on what chile instant instant they are not occupying any hospital today a staying at home and medics amalek city back conditions to them honestly in that condition and mostly while putting forth the best efforts at keeping people alive those who are feeling really mean without those will be critical condition so they

are focusing on that while those law feeling more or less ok they be out there being under monetary by phone from home they're not taking up as much effort medical effort as they could so i essentially this is the this is what looks like fracture so far moscow is reopening its construction and industrial businesses of sussing monday starting starting monday everything else remains the same launching more or less russia does have a 3 stage slot at least the race 8 law that could be modified but. approved and eventually so 'd but so far russia remains well almost down. the final sign or this has to go to president putin i'm sure he's going to make it known more clearly because he's taking an awful lot of detail alone as a 13 ministers that all those regional governors to get through. but it doesn't

look like they're going to be any big changes you say on monday at the moment if slowly and cautiously as you say in a go for now thank you very much. all right so if you're going the rest of the world well 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 a relaxed. these projections are considerably higher than previous estimates rip presents and the combined effects of model updates and former incorporates in the effect of changes in mobility and social distancing policies into transmission dynamics. the grim forecast comes as an ice rink in washington d.c. in a car park in brooklyn have been turned into temporary morgues today the u.s. is by far the country highest hit by covert 19 the pandemic has claimed more than 70000 lives there with confirmed cases exceeding 1200000 despite that the u.s.

president has urged states to open their doors for business and sharing that impatience protesters in a number of locations eager to get the lockdown lifted of course they will be such as this rally in north carolina but all that said there are plenty of people tempering the idea too wary about loosening up too quickly too soon as r.t. america's foreign friends are 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 business but with precautions easily we have. for them but as we want to make their number of taxes just about every item for individual caregiver garnham in. our. free range as well as possible. 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 that everybody is good safe you know from the food to the service after chad. going down at your local restaurant you haven't been to in weeks now you can walk in off on the beach and some states like florida texas and south carolina all seeing visitors again also giving beachgoers the green light president donald trump i really believe you can go to parks you can go to beaches you keep it you 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 they don't think the forum is ready. but.

this is the white. house to do this using i was pleased about it while some states are continuing their phase one reopen other states are just fighting to be consider like massachusetts where hundreds gathered at the state capital 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 in 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 new jersey with the death toll as of monday night $73.00 more than $2300.00 infected 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 ferran fronsac r.t. get a tour of director of reactionary times dot com told me lifting long term measures should not be too hasty. you 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 and if we bring it in 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 $60000.00 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 stuck in a spike you know by a factor of 10 or by a factor of 20 or by any of these other numbers that the fear mongers are trying to

go ahead and put out there to try to keep people in doors americans by nature are not going to allow themselves to be kept indoors forever. seems u.s. leaders are the experts is still very much at all over the causes of coronavirus the united states top general repeated on choose day that its origins are not known that it's probably not made but us adults with the frequent remarks from president trump of his secretary of state who insist that china has to play one way or the other and there are divergent views coming out elsewhere to know as caleb maupin explains. theories pushed by u.s. officials claiming that somehow the virus originated in a laboratory in han are not getting supported by key u.s. 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 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 with 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 her specific it was 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 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 of. the desk loaders pretty

projected to double over the next few months the government has shown itself to be absolutely helpless. and raining and that the pandemic and trump is facing serious problems when it comes to the upcoming election so i he is 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 any thank the staff around one in china trump is has been unable to marshal any evidence at all 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. but later in the program i can let you know

we're going to go into a break we come back out of it come back to a correspondent it goes down if you still listening in to that action committee being chaired by president putin right now we'll bring you more soon as we come back. we go to work. straight home. time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability

stay in her manner a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely hama's dissolute the odd lump is lieblich and kakadu to congress and it builds on the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away there's a 2nd eldest as he pointed me in and i'm reading what skip the sun moon and news limited on time human and i'm studying them to be best understood look to see when . the world is driven by a dream shaped by her own personal those great.

dares thinks. we dare to ask. i am. going to follow with the news this hour for you before we head to london in 50 minutes when they take over the baton but back here back no president putin is still cheering a video meeting with key ministers to hear the state of play around the nation and how the country's going to start to emerge from weeks of lockdown he said at the start of the briefing that any rush measures would make the situation worse so much much caution we've heard there and he goes down has been listening in there of 13 ministers more or less and a lot of regional governors as well he's got to get all this info in before they make a concrete decision on what's happening because of course monday is the date when the current lockdown was going to be reconsidered so a lot of people asking what's going to happen then we're still not totally clear but it's looks like if you're in the service industry for instance certainly here

in moscow that it's still going to be a shutdown for a good while yet ego a small light at the end of a very long tunnel though take us through some of the positives we heard and the other stuff as well. well it is just right at the end of the tunnel i should say is judging by what russian president has everything is going to remain say he has said that there can be no blanket solution just apply to all russians in every region and everyone would just don't let the measure just know he's a nothing in the sewer in fact he did say that every government should make good one decisions if i may say so that they should take into consideration the situation in their particular regions and make and make. the schools and gate and he is warned everyone to read on the board one caution and that these should not rush headlong into just to everything else here's what he's going to say. there

is no one single template but i wouldn't want where we have to adopt strict measures and they should be maintained that even you know what you may given all of the rich at and sometimes they can be out. at can be done in close coordination with experts on the healthcare professional staking work out all the risks but it factis we should not be getting ahead of ourselves any failure any i'm a shepherd can put us. back we may risk the lives of our people and we will be responsible for that continuously we are highly responsible for any mistake that we make but let's not forget about that. well an example of such sponsible approach could be coming from moscow from the russian capital because moscow's may suggest about 2 latin and he has suggested

the stasi monday for construction and industrial companies will be able to go back to work just to trade some life into russia's economy he has stressed though that it is not and does not mean the end of the isolation everything else remains the same the service industry remains shut down according to most american it's still very early to open there to open. restrictions will not be lifted yet. general distractions we will just be allowing these enterprises these interest rates to return to work and i believe that this is the decision that is possible in moscow today. so essentially this very careful decision this was something that latin agreed to during that video conference journey back. home goldman sachs also suggested ben in

the press that must be in the front of the russians bottle in scope at 90 and out that well while most of this is adding more cases than any other region every day he said that it does not mean that it did not mean that most of all is well and that more people are getting infected no he said that just the russian capital has as expanded its testing system so rapidly and so fosli that it's just people who have no idea they had grown a virus they are getting tested and they are showing no sentence just taking precautionary tests maybe just to be honest you know sort of the a safe side. of the so and they're finding out that while they are infected even though they're not eating. any symptoms at all so this is the this is what he's been saying and essentially everything that russia is doing so far in his pointing

out that the country does not want to mostly fight all those. made in the battle against open one seed because the specifics here in russia is that while it is new cases by about 10000 daily the mortality rate has been well it's a nice small and that is. because those who are not showing any symptoms and that's more than 40 percent who are infected here. russia all those who are showing only a litle mild symptoms they are being treated at home essentially they're safe in their homes they're receiving their medicine medicine space and to that doorstep and medics them mocking their condition and promote while they're putting all their efforts into saving lives into cheese into those who are often find holes that all bets were off in a critical condition. so who are feeling really really bad and so all real

efforts they're going into saving though while those who are having a hard on would cope at night seeing they're just they're getting there and being given time to have some rest and well hopefully developed immunity to this new disease also russia's chief russia's chief senator a doctor spoke spoke out and unveiled a 3 stage plan as to how russia might lift the quarantine measures when it decides it's good fun to do so essentially step one is well. excuse me so step one is to let people exercise outside of. this industry insteps marie is due to open box about one that is to happen while it remains to be see there's no indication that russia is ready to lift its warranting measures as so many other countries the u.s. aside an abundance of caution as you say it is a ghost town of thanks for that for now and

a token of an abundance of caution let's look at what's happening in france elsewhere health emergency status is on course to be extended to july the 10th following a senate vote which reduced the expected timeframe by a fortnight at least for them promised to edward felipe earlier addressed parliament's criticism though of the handling of the health crisis in france. required. i do believe that eventually you will be able to look at in detail how our health care system has adapted to the crisis by preparing the easing of the lockdown is even more difficult than deciding on the lockdown we have to control the pandemic without any effective treatment without a vaccine without collective community so it's a difficult job but the practicalities of the ongoing state of health emergency there are unclear quite good friends is gearing up towards opening up again soon they hope physical distancing aids are appearing in public places like the circles being placed at french train stations to try to keep commuters apart once

restrictions are easy maybe next week but there's confusion and concern too over how much and how quickly things can get start getting back to any kind of normal ish other do bensky. days away from starting to look down and form says government has come in for some heavy criticism growing anxiety over the plans came to a head when the senate rejected that. no one can say if you will have enough masks next week to protect all french people that vote though was largely symbolic as the government has enough support in the national assembly to pass it some look down exit strategy but senators are not the only ones raising concerns. more than 300 mez just from the greater paris region have penned an open

letter to the president urging him to delay sending pupils back to school. something must be done it's not a question of stopping everything until september it's not possible but in any case the deadline is unrealistic in terms of may 11th at best we might be able to open something which again won't be the school. so we need time because the situation is different from school to school some municipalities have large numbers of people and it's not possible for others another important point how teachers will be involved in almost everything must be done urgently and that's the problem common sense tells us that we need to do everything gradually some regions are taking action into their own hands with officials insisting that they will not reopen best schools next week. the public transport industries also worried

a group representing more than 90 percent of rural firms say that they don't have the means to ensure safe journeys for all passengers arguing that they lack both a myth. the real means and personnel to ensure that everyone travelling respects the new government regulations we consider it's our obligation to inform you about a highly elevated risk of public disorder that could lead to a halt to public transport which is however essential for the exit from the lock down and the recovery of economic activity rail unions a back those concerns describing government plans to ease the lock down as irresponsible it's also clear that the voice for not just wearing masks but also respecting social distancing rules hasn't fully sunk in with the public.

and if that wasn't enough the government is also being criticised for its new fake news busting website unveiled last week to combat pandemic this information but it's roiling journalists across the french media landscape who want to square up to overstepping the mark after the government has now taken the site down to. any perilous democracy or freedom of the class as a condition of democratic exercise it's not up to the executive to tell us how we should read the press to select what they see as good or bad enough for me the government insists it's on the right path to bring the country out to look down saying that even though confinement was necessary that the social and economic cost was colossal and economic life must resume quickly leading some to wonder whether the leaders priorities are shifting too hastily from the nation's health to its

finances charlotte even ski auti paris. kevin owen that's the way things look in so far this wednesday the 6th of may from moscow it's coming up to 5 in the evening here in a couple of hours but on a course in london throughout all this we continue to keep you fully posted 247 from our studios around the world and i'm handing the baton to you bill dodd over there in london next to take us through the evening from may stay well stay safe and thank you for watching r.t. international.

thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision lotos sheltered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was raped be instructed him to hold a shot of what they'd kill me and i see how destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he graham my arm and he write me with his birthing area 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 it from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender i had an

almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. join me everything will be all excitement and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics all those lives i'm show business i'll see of. the good times. and. the right. part of a mile out of the way or. the other. welcoming

our viewers from around the world live from central london this is our 2 u.k. . the british government is under far over the soaring perona forest death toll as schools grow to ease the lockdown measures his report suggests the stay home message is set to be scrapped we're joined by an expert in statistical modeling surely. the russian president warns there is no one single template for getting out of the coronavirus crisis will begin to live reaction from the russian capital. britain's chancellor plans to wind down the furloughs schemes saying continuing to pay stuff to stay home is not sustainable that's his campaign is one that without government intervention to use unemployment is set to reach the

1000000 not. the government is accused of using special crisis plans to keep n.h.s. responsibilities to the private sector we'll be hearing from a doctor campaigning against health care prototype. and also the scottish national party calls on u.k. opposition leaders to back a brick extension due to the pandemic which the government insists is not necessary . u.k. opposition leader securest dhamma has attacked the prime minister's handling of the coronavirus crisis after the country's death toll sort to the highest in europe despite the ongoing lockdown says reports suggest the stay home message could be scrapped meanwhile the key scientists who advise the government to shut down the country has been forced to quit for breaking his own rules. he has the latest

so. far in his 1st outing against the new labor leader in the city of course. it was previously said. 19 journalist. course last week he was last outside of parliament for the birth of his child and so today is the 1st wednesday went prime minister's questions features the new labor leader to disarm and boris johnson they went head to head on a number of issues including caltech tracing testing p.p. and also the fact that the u.k. now has the highest death toll figure of those has tested positive 390 in the whole of europe yesterday and tragically that at least 29427 people in the u.k. have now lost their lives to this dreadful virus that's now the highest number in europe it's the 2nd highest in the world that's not success or apparent

success at this stage at this stage i don't think that international comparisons and the data is is yet that to draw the conclusions that we want what i can tell you is that at every stage as we took the decisions that we did we were governed by one overriding principle and and that was to save lives and to protect our h.s. and i believe that of course there will be a time to look at what decisions we took and whether we could have taken different decisions mr speaker the argument that international comparisons can't really be made when the government's been using slides like this for weeks to do international comparison just really doesn't hold water i'm afraid that many people concluding that the answer my question is the u.k. was slow into lockdown slow on testing slow on tracing and slow on the supply of

protective equipment. now we've had the death figures coming in full of the u.k. today and 449 people sadly having lost their lives after testing positive for coded 98 quite a drop from yesterday's figure it does take the official figure to the 30000 mark yesterday it was over 32000 when considering scotland and northern ireland and so we also know that the ins they have their own statistics and their own measurements which means the actual death toll could be significantly higher now it's understood that this coming weekend there could be some steps taken by the government to try to perhaps ease the lockdown restrictions than there have been questions put to the government as to whether that means that the stay home slogan you know we've been hearing stay out and stay safe certainly n.h.s. and so on maybe that's part of the slogan stay home so that might be dropped but

down the streets a spokesman saying that the government aren't committing to anything on that front just yet so tell us more then about the proposed measures to this lockdown. well we know that of course in scotland the 1st minister and it was steadily she's been head of the curve on a number of issues including with regards to the release of an exit plan but when it comes to that key issue of lifting readies easing lockdown measures there are stages says that it's simply too early for the country to commit something like that. you know tomorrow is going to government must formally consider whether to continue the current restrictions for another 3 weeks as i have indicated or progress real is still too fragile to immediately ease restrictions in any significant way but we are planning now you for ways in which we can gradually do so as soon as possible and more detail on that is set in the paper published yesterday if we all stick with it for

a bit longer we will i am sure see more progress and we will bring forward to the moment when some of these restrictions can start to be eased. now out sori and she's have taken perhaps a different tack to that of mr they're calling upon the government and the government to lift those measures as soon as possible those words coming from the nancy 22 backbench committee old tory m.p.'s and so graeme brady's chat of that committee saying that if those looked on measures aren't listed soon the economic impact could be long term the public has been willing to assist if anything in some instances it may be the public has been a little bit too willing to stay at home i'm sure i'm not the only member who has heard from employers struggling to fulfill orders because it's difficult to get employees back from further. i think we all know how critically important it is

that they all want to be able to get their workers back so that we can make sure those jobs remain when the furlough period ends. now of course one of the cheaper parlance of those lockdown measures was professor neil ferguson from imperial university's the progressive predicts that there would be hundreds of thousands of deaths unless the country went into lockdown well easy resigned from his position after it was revealed that his married partner a married lover and sunniest starts reported the visit him at his home on more than one occasion with mr ferguson brady is old rules is positions simply became untenable and he had to step down. thank you very much indeed for that update well to discuss easing a lockdown measures i'm not joined by professor cull for instance from the welcome trust center for neuro imaging professor thank you very much for being with us especially everybody's asking now how did we get to the worst death figures in

europe. it's you know a pressing question and also a very delicate time for all of as an especially the government who are burdened with the when and to the degree of relaxing the law down. in response to your why we have done so badly in terms of loss of life there are clearly many factors you know the population the composition of the out population and clearly the question that are people are going to be asking could that number have been different had we adopted different strategies or indeed will it in the long term change independent sense to weigh on what we do next and that's why it's the very delicate time from a modeling perspective there are 2 ways in which it could go at the moment and it

depends very sensitively on the degree to which we have already inherited or acquired a degree of immunity to the current verst wave if it's the case that a small proportion of people out acquire a degree even unity then there could be a flare up or a rebound if we prematurely relax the social distancing or lock down. protocols on the other hand what the modeling seems to suggest is that there has been a latent build up of immunity over the past days weeks that would significantly attenuated any flare up or subsequent spread of the virus so the big question and it's a number the answer is a present unknown as how many people out there beyond your front door are. in a position to infect you how many people have developed an immunity is there is then

the odd number we're looking at it's interesting it's not you know they are number is i think a good screamy useful here is to get summaries to stick of how the pandemic is unfolding and in some senses it's slightly retrospective it's a description of this population is behaving as if one person was impacting or has been in fact in the past 3 weeks and a certain number of other per people so this is the reproduction rate which is it were as you said but how on earth did she get how do you model that number how do you get the statistics or to know just what the rate is right now that's an excellent question so what you need to do is to understand and install into a model all the causes of the way that the pandemic is being expressed including the effect of reproduction right and also clearly there paul in death rates

appearance in new cases so the models technically generative models they include always latent causes for example how many people in the population are currently infected what's the period of contagion once as transmissions how many people are you in contact where you're at home road to work and if you put all of these latent causes and factors into the model you then adjust the promises that those models until you reproduce what you're actually seeing on the ground and then you can go back to the model and estimate how many people out there at the moment on this day are infected and it's that kind of number which we really need to predicate the the policy decisions so bear in mind the our number the latest immunity what do you think will be announced on sunday and what would you like to see being announced on sunday at. regards the lock down just briefly if you don't mind. i think there's

going to be a soft relaxation so i don't think there's going to be a hard switch from this to that there will be a graded response and you can model this. quite explicitly where there's going to be a soft response over a period of about 2 weeks and mind is my discipline based upon what we have been doing so far but there's going to be a slightly more rapid return to a new normal which will be a few percentage underneath the old normal in terms of engagement and personal contact outside or work so i would imagine a raft of mild restrictions over the next week over the next month we will return to a new sort of normal a new sort of normal which won't be dramatic in the sense that you know we will accept in socially sanctioned behaviors such as wearing masks on the tube in exactly the same way you know several decades ago we all change our behavior by

suddenly wearing seatbelts when driving when it became a little imperative so we're going to be subtle and i think consensus are indorsed changes in behavior that will play the role of a slow relaxation of social dissing back to pretend any calamity levels in the next couple of months vesa cull 1st and thank you so much for your time. well the british government is looking at options to shut down its job retention scheme which has seen the treasury pay $8000000000.00 perlman's to stop companies laying off employees due to the luck dell chance of the riches in eggs at the further arrangement can't continue indefinitely but reassured workers that there 'd wouldn't be a shark out of. to anyone who is anxious about this i want to give them the reassurance today that there will be no cliff edge to the scheme i'm working as we speak to figure out the most effective way to wind down the scheme and ease people back into work in a measured way as some scenarios have suggested we are potentially spending as much

on the furlough scheme as the n.h.s. for example clearly that is not a sustainable situation currently the scheme supports the wages of $6300000.00 employees across the country that's nearly a quarter of britain's private sector workforce means that over 50 percent of the adult population is now funded by the taxpayer and the crisis is also resulted in more than $1800000.00 new claims for universal credit with the cost of the bailout mounting really soon has reportedly refused to rule out a 20 percent cut in the firm no subsidy from 80 percent to 60 and encourage employers to pay the difference says a think tank warns that britain risks a youth unemployment crisis without government intervention with figures set to hit $1000000.00 a year. the 800000 young people set to leave education this year amid an unprecedented economic crisis facing huge immediate unemployment risks and longer

russian president vladimir putin has warned that there's no one single template for getting out of the coronavirus knock down that's as ministers briefed the president on plans for easing the measures what is he going to donald joins me now with the latest. bring us up to speed with with what's happening in russia. well below it looks like everything in russia is going to stay more or less the same as it has to be as it is for instance the russian president indeed has said that there will be no lifts a no and legacy of any quality measures and in fact he stressed that there is no blanket solution that all regions to just apply and lose whatever measures they had in place on the contrary he aged every government to look into this decision all regions and carefully say of these strategies their strategy as to how to deal with old at 90 on that and those strategies need not lift but only consciously

tightening the measures of the list. but although there is no one in a single template somewhere we have to adopt strict measures and they should really maintain and sometimes made even more rigid sometimes they can be eased out but that can only be done with your close coordination with experts and health care professionals which taking into account the goal risk factors we should not be getting ahead of ourselves any favor any misstep i'm going to put as back we may risk the lives of others we will be responsible but after we are highly responsible for any mistake that we know they can get that let's not forget about it is that you look at europe. well the thing is russia doesn't want to lose the progress that it has made a call that simple that 19 see the thing to understand about the situation here yes russia is the new grown virus cases by about $10000.00 every day but compared to

the total figures the mortality rate is relatively low we specially if you compare the same biggest in the other countries so russian ones that they want to save as many lives as false for instance more than just send those diagnosed with all that 98 all showing in symptoms at all and they're not occupying most little beds instead they have the sheeted at home while don't just while medics and focus all the efforts on saving those who are in that was in a bad condition those one critical conditions and that sort of an example as to how russia could be carefully lifting the auntie measures could be said by russian capital the most to amaze your case about it has announced that starting monday construction and industrial firms will be allowed to get back to stressing that in the way he doesn't need the lifting of the self isolation isolation also russia's

chief senates every doctor she. they released their line as to how russia might. that might start lifting the might start nifty because the warranty measures well it decides that it is a bunch of do so in step one is to allow people exercise outside step 2 is to gradually open the service industry in steps restrict reopen the parks and the national parks and just the creation areas this is a very simplified version of what she presented but the general outline is this but so far it doesn't look like russia is clones to this point it doesn't look that russia is just there yet igor thank you very much indeed for that update from moscow. the government has been accused of allowing a privatization power grab of key n.h.s. duties using the pandemic as cover it comes as n.h.s. trusts are told by the department of health to stop by not only equipment which

will now be distributed centrally special powers allow ministers to leapfrog the months long tendering process to award ringback contracts without competition the latest contract to supply $15000.00 call handlers for the track and trace operation is likely to go to circuit meanwhile deloitte has overseen drive-in testing centers and hard serco g 4 s. and boots to run them to no it's also been advising whitehall on the centralised delivery of p.p. he or london's nightingale hospital saw contracts awarded to k.p. m.g. with security provided by g 4 s. labor shadow minister richard reeves said the increased role of the private sector was taking power away from those closest to the pandemic. the government must not allow the current crisis to be used as cover to extend the creeping privatisation of the n.h.s. the process to the management and purchase of medical supplies must be open transparent and subject to full scrutiny dillo its track record of delivering p. p.

e. to the front line since this virus began is not one of success and taking more decision making authority from n.h.s. manages and local authorities shift power further from the front line the government says emergency powers bill and time limited and necessary to respond effectively to the epidemic it had at that the changes are to ease the burden on the front line n.h.s. and adult social care staff. well to discuss this further i'm joined by pediatrician and co-chair of keep our n.h.s. public talk to john punters john thank you for being with us not the governors work with private industry for many years now so surely this is just an extension of that relationship. as i think it is and unfortunately they haven't learned the lessons we should be learned pandemic is showing us that many of the structural reforms in the n.h.s. and particularly the market size ation and the fragmentation bringing in private

company is this there's actually we can do our ability to fight against krone virus and instead of learning that lesson they're really doing more of the same. as you listed. just now we're seeing love poetry testing facility is. the birchers themselves p p procurement and distribution and the largest 90 hospitals all all contracts being handed out to private companies and this is the time to be strengthening the n.h.s. as a public service rather straight money at the private sector but despite trying to do it to strengthen h s which of course is under huge pressure at the moment should we not consider the fact that this is a time of crisis and and these a lot resourceful companies that have the ability to react quickly to such big projects well the experience seems to be that they don't do

a very good job i mean the procurement p. by dilip has been heavily criticized as they seem to be trying to source kit from china making use of local industry the virus testing sentences as soon as they stars it there were complaints about samples going missing and results not coming back as well of course the way. below it's. very spread out making access for health workers extremely difficult or impossible in many cases and similarly with treat testing with 3 large. tree testing sites completely bypassing 44 n.h.s. look for a truce which you know what you're already doing tests ok he supports it next round

it just finally and briefly deloitte in cape p.m.g. they say they're working for reduced rates for any work related to coronavirus so it's not just about the money is it what what do you make of that gesture just briefly. well. who knows what to make that as it may be a how do you usually rate at the 1st place they brought it down slightly i think we know we generally in general if you're giving contracts to private companies it's money going out as profit was obviously they're not here to defend them they're obviously not here to defend themselves all that self obviously that's the reality you know they're not made to base it by desire to help make the bait but it is so generate profits ok dr john pontius really good to hear your view on this thank you so much for your time for joining us here on out in u.k. thank you the scottish national party is calling for opposition leaders to join forces

and back a 2 year delay to the u.k.'s breaks a transition period due to the coronavirus pandemic right the toll of the political agendas paused as we deal with the priority of saving lives and protecting people's incomes in that context i believe now is the right moment to unite opposition parties in westminster in seeking a 2 year extension to the brics a transition period trade talks are meant to wrap up by december when the transition arrangement ends the government has until summer to request an extension but this is insists there is no reason to do so and that's as cabinet office minister michael gove claims that they may accept tariffs on goods in order to get a deal through the e.u. something the government has previously refused to do. well for more on this in the next hour by form an m.e.p. for the west midlands and so that's it for this hour more for you in just over half an hour from now.

we go to work. straight home. the world is driven by a dream shaped by fun person of. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. times you are going on the ground of the boris johnson government plan reveals what postcode 1000 capitalism will look like even if shortages of lifesaving protection for work has echoed deficiencies in the n.h.s. and question the viability of an end to the lockdown coming up in the show why is it called me in this countries do so much better than capitalist ones when it comes to coronavirus cancer specialist who has accounts of korra called the n.h.s. the last bastion of communism tells us why it's going to be difficult.
