the dairy thinks. we hear to ask. it. but today's headlines from the international russia says more than 1200 coronavirus patients are being treated on ventilators all from the last chance for the gravely ill a survivor tells us how it feels when your body calm please by itself. waking up on a ventilator was a very unusual feeling as if i had been underwater had a lot of tubes sticking out of my mouth the machine was breathing for me. in greece angry locals vandalize hotels to the host asylum seekers is more a move from refugee camps to the mainland. and the white house rejects the step by step guide to reopening the country from the nation's top disease watchdog despite

the pandemic gaining momentum while in new york yet another temporary morgue locals talk to us about the new reality. the fact that you have to temper in this. process bodies but it reminds me of the fact that we were not anything in an organized way. because of bad luck. the company this friday afternoon here live from new center of moscow my name is kevin irwin with his 30 minute round up for 1st the latest covert 1000 figures as they stand there and sad to say we're heading towards another somber milestone the number of infections globally is now close to 4000000 in terms of fatalities more than 271000 people are known to have died many are also recovering from the illness

of course to that figure currently stands at over $1300000.00. in today's headlines then russia's health ministry says more than 1200 coronavirus patients are currently on ventilation nationwide the country currently ranks 5th in the world in terms of infections and over 187000 the daily death rates been rising rapidly health officials though say there are enough beds and ventilators putting people on the lifesaving equipment is a process that's not only traumatic for the patient but stressful for the doctors to put this differently from. the very. people on ventilators as a last resort measure for doctors it means it's become all but impossible for the

patient to breathe on a did leaving many gravely ill in some countries up to 80 percent of patients needing ventilation don't survive here in russia that figure is 50 percent meaning one in 2 lose their lives when someone does recover enough to come off until ation it can be an emotional time for hospital staff. plus sometimes we the doctor started to cry when the managed to get a piece you know flung into the emotions are impossible to committing sometimes you have tears on your of these masks we don't hide our tears and emotions i believe there is nothing better than feeling. ventilation treatments only part of a long journey back to good health some patients need rehabilitation for breathing for swallowing even walking one survivor told us about his recovery and what it's like to have a machine controlling your breath. i was put on a ventilator in the 3rd hospital in a row i was admitted to being in intensive care already after

a prolonged fever the doctors found out that my lung capacity was not enough to continue effective treatment waking up on a ventilator was a very unusual feeling as if i had been underwater i had a lot of tube sticking out of my mouth the machine was breathing for me i communicated with the medics by gestures and hand written messages on a sheet of paper it was rather inconvenient for me given that i had lost a lot of energy and even writing down simple sentences was at 1st very hard and unfamiliar but as time passed i got used to it the doctor started to understand me i gradually got used to the tubes the machine and the need to lie on my stomach almost all the time to help the ventilator work with my lungs while on the ventilator i often imagine myself being the hero of black sabbath's iron man song that character has turned into an iron idol due to time travel and he couldn't talk to anyone and warn of a coming disaster that he had to survive in the future when i was taken off the ventilator after coughing and spitting some i cited

a line from that song then gents from the grave but since no one understood me i just asked them to bring me breakfast everybody was glad to hear that i was feeling better right after they took me off i had a few seconds to catch my breath and start breathing independently it seemed to me as if it had been an eternity i felt a massive surge of energy. and i was glad i managed to overcome it from that moment i realized i could be happy about little things like the ability to breathe by myself every morning the recovery was rather hard for me but step by step i overcame the difficulties day by day that i started to win back my normal life and i'm still doing it because the treatment isn't over yet i don't want anyone to experience what i've gone through all these months i spent in hospital on a ventilator were no joke i hope that nobody watching this will end up that way and that they behave responsibly. but the news well that europe's leaders struggle to forge

a joint response to the pandemic the german foreign minister is highlighting another unresolved crisis. at the sluggish pace of the e.u.'s migrant policy which he describes as inadequate. horrible thing is that we have been dealing with this problem in europe for a long time i think it's the greatest sign of inefficiency for the e.u. now with the corona crisis it's even more obvious to me well and to my great protest as cause how there could northern greece on wednesday vandalizing 2 hotels after they discover that they reportedly host over 50 migrants age police later confirmed that around 150 people had also attempted to prevent buses transporting said migrants from reaching the new accommodation is what some of the locals told us. so the above the incidents that happened are condemned by i was a whole community and we believe that this wasn't done by. assisted me but my right now there are already 100 migrants in the space of 2 kilometers i believe that

people here can take in more migrants that people who don't have work and they wander the streets in my opinion that not as dangerous as their correct arised but they are people that have no connection to. greece is currently trying to take the pressure off its overcrowded island refugee camps driven partly by the need to prevent corona virus from spreading its been transferring hundreds of refugees them to facilities on the mainland greek political analyst petrus told us it's triggering friction among locals. and they now believe there are so far right that's the good thing. or. the situation but 'd there are a look at israel. the people who are most testing are going towards it but this is where the sentiment is against the. migrants being transferred. there the people who are out of goodwill the programs they. are

accumulating none of them is being so the girl who is making it even harder it's too much too much to ask for people to accept. the trump administration has rebuffed detailed recommendations on reopening american issued by the country's top disease control body it was supposed to be published last friday but the agency was allegedly told the guidance would never see the light of day probably because it was too prescriptive the rush to get the country moving again comes in spite of the growing numbers of infections and deaths new york's had to open another temporary morgue refrigerated trailers were seen arriving at one facility where bodies are being stored to date the u.s. has registered more than one. point 2000000 infections and 75000 deaths a 3rd of those in new york state locals they talk to us through the gruesome new reality. that makes me just aware of the.

stream nature of time that we're living in the fact that you have to temper in this . process bodies. pretty pretty awful i try not to think about the ramifications of opening up the country but when i see something like this it reminds me that if we had the proper leadership we would do things in a more organized manner even safer manner so what it reminds me of is the fact that we are not doing anything in an organized way. because of that law going up the race to try and find a vaccine is something of a game a cut most right now mysterious symptoms have been found in children who tested positive for the corona virus leaving dr scrambling for most of the colds treated chavez has more on that next for you. today an urgent new warning about kids and kovan 1000 dozens of children falling ill across the country from

a rare illness officials are calling pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome new york state department of health confirming at least 64 suspected cases in the state most of the children testing positive for corona virus or virus antibodies sparking new concern the 2 illnesses may be linked to that uncertainty. that comes with it a disease that still is not fully understood by the global medical community. a disease that we all wonder about in terms of our own personal lives the rare but serious injury which inflammation affects the heart and other organs can send the body into a state of shock common symptoms include fever rash abdominal pain vomiting and red or irritated eyes the illness leaving so many questions unanswered parents pay attention so when they see the symptoms reach out to their doctors early because the most important thing in this situation here again is not only diagnosing it

early i mean the appropriate treatment early this as new york officials reported an unexpected spike of nearly a 1000 deaths on wednesday following a change of reporting meantime many new york leaders under fire as researchers claim their delayed response to kovan 19 helped spread the deadly virus throughout the u.s. the lesson we have to take from this as not only new yorkers but as americans our nation wasn't in position in terms of testing and we can never let that happen again the findings which are drawn from geneticists tracking signature mutations of the virus travel histories of infected people and models by infectious disease experts suggest the virus quickly swept from new york city through much of the country before the city began putting social distancing measures in place new york city quickly becoming the epicenter of the outbreak accounting for roughly 30 percent of infections in the whole country makeshift morgues and freezer trucks filling the city streets new york's brooklyn pier which usually hosts live music shows a ferry terminal and shipping warehouses is now hosting

a fleet of refrigerator more trucks filled with thousands of dead from the corona virus pandemic reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . confronting the call when the enemy of corona virus has done nothing to dampen u.s. leaders on a mostly towards china than with ongoing terror threats and plans to punish the economy if anything the pandemics making it worse in this kind of mopin explains next. the pandemic is changing lots of things but it seems that some things like the ongoing us china confrontation are eternal you may have noticed the trump tweeted in praise of beijing from time to time and was looking to make deals but now it seems the trade war is escalating to higher levels than ever coronaviruses the fuel thrown onto the fire washington is using china as their primary scapegoat to sway the worst attack we've ever had this is worse than pearl harbor this is worse than the world trade center as they have

a bit of tech like this. and it should have never happened could've been stopped at the source could have been stopped and showed it should've been stopped right at the source. and it wasn't china has responded urging washington to focus on the real danger well sure i see unless the 18 can be they might say the pandemic is comparable to pearl harbor or 911 but the enemy facing us is the novel coronavirus we urged us to stop shipping lanes to china and in turn to fact we now hear top u.s. officials blaming china for spreading dissin from asian about the virus which they claim has chinese origin then china responds and blames the united states are not participating in global efforts and furthermore lying in the hopes of discrediting china european union tries not to take sides but it's see you think about the constant back and forth i do nothing it is the time for blame games or meet her approach this is the breath rate where someone hearing in the united states calling

the virus chinese or the one by iris i don't think it is the moment to reproach anybody but instead to join forces against a problem that is everyone's if we don't solve it everywhere we won't solve it anywhere trump seems up for a confrontation with us china relations at a 50 year low trump seems to be amping up economic pressure and the trade war is also applying pressure on the social political and educational fronts they're calling this the new bipolarity united states facing off against china the way it once did against the soviet union but the us leaders really understand what would be at stake in a new cold war the us economy is quite well tied in with their new arch nemesis each time the confrontation escalates the stock market suffers a full scale trade war threatens the asian markets and the european economies are already on the brink of recession however when donald trump threatened more tariffs

on monday they plummeted china is set to recover pretty quickly according to most forecasters and donald trump seems ready to play hardball against them even if it threatens the entire glow. i mean i guess the question is will the world forgive him for this and will the united states be the one that's isolated. artsy new york but you know to use a fresh twist in another trigger topic for us politics russia gate remember that the justice department has dropped criminal charges against donald trump's former national security adviser over lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with her then russian ambassador well here more we've got life comment coming up on that later in the program hopefully. for many countries around the world today may the 8th marks 75 years since victory over the nazis in the 2nd world war this residential building for russia's permanent mission to the u.n. is joined in with what's going on them for the next few nights diplomatic stuff

lighting up the windows to form a giant number 75 to mark the milestone anniversary. r.t. sophie shevardnadze has been speaking to renowned german film director vernon hertzog the cannes film festival laureates been reflecting on where humanity stands these days decades after defeating fascism the full interview is here in just about 2 hours time. of course it's 75 years now and advancing and but we live as an echo of past everyone in my generation old napier's we knew there was something not right in the bill not b. and b. took a look at what it wanted him into and it is obviously the out debate it was clear to us fascism is something that is not going to have as long as we lived if we have something like fascists take the lead in the holocaust coming out i mean take arms i will defend them or try to defend you see to

a very clearly today. it is not so much when history is factually happening it's a lonesome narrative and we have to be very very careful in what should have been looking at the media what other media doing it says some sort of almost collective brainwashing going on or not i find it. very alarming and alarming mistake of the west the demonization of russia you see it in the media it's not it's not so much with people when you look at. pinion poles in germany they laugh the russians idea is not wrong that russia belongs belong to when i say as i mean europe culturally it belongs to us the poetry belongs to us

it's oxygen and. the the the christian. common occident in history. because of the time zone difference victory day here in russia is mark tomorrow may the 9th huge day here major celebrations for members were planned but that's of course a lot of change we will have a special work life sort of programs for you in coverage here on this channel.

seem wrong. all just all. i mean you get to shape out just to become educated and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

i get a free pass through the afternoon here in moscow most of the company remember before the pandemic those days there was another threat supposedly raging to undermine the united states back then well we've got a russia gate update for you the u.s. justice department dropped criminal charges against donald trump's former national security advisor michael flynn he did meet it lying to the f.b.i. about his interactions with russian diplomat during the presidential transition it all comes as the legal body finds no reasonable grounds for further prosecution the now the deal g.'s not persuaded that the jury 24th 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe mr flynt statements were material even if untrue moreover we do not believe that the government can

prove either the relevant false statements or their materiality beyond reasonable doubt michael flynn served as national security advisor in 2017 he was questioned by the f.b.i. of his contacts with then russian ambassador over the possible lifting of sanctions flame was fired amid accusations that he lied to agents about the conversation eventually led to him pleading guilty to one count of misleading the f.b.i. donald trump says he expects consequences for those who went after flip. he is a great gentleman he was targeted by the obama administration and he was targeted in order to trying to take down a president and what they've done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid well now the charges are dropped somewhat cast doubt 3 on the whole initial accusation since flynn was the main catalyst for launching the whole russia gate process then let's have a quick reminder of how the claims sent the us media into 50 year michael flynn is

a liar why did the f.b.i. witness tampering now it is possibly treason but my clean is what people thought about when they're thinking when he's talking people might have gone long as that's a oun how many terms did michael flynn take his place anthony bourdain of treason comment life new york city investor and geopolitics expert charles all tells take the time he will decide the charles would be good so this move marks the end of one of the most types prosecutions being brought by former special counsel robert mueller would you make of it i think this is a profound sort of developments there is only starting to. remember here that u.s. government has secured the plea from general flynn it and the judge additionally let him withdraw as guilty plea and now we have. the u.s. attorney and i think 6 louis reviewing the oil and saying there never was a basis to investigate for

a crime here in this rogue operation but u.s. attorney john durham that's been studying for months the president and his statement earth flow accuse the obama administration of arbitrating that's the big question is why did they do this why did they so it reaches the step outside the bounds of celt law precedent. but some people are scratching their heads see it because flynn did after all admit lying to the f.b.i. i was pleading guilty over the why do that. i think what we've found in the documents it's been released so far is that yes you know i had pressured flint by threatening to go against his son and namesake who is this wife had just given birth to a young child and i think clearly looked at the situation and rather than. spend more money which she didn't have you figured this was a way out we'll find out and as i guess michael will that he's free to talk i think to find out why what was really going on here i think it has to go back to the

fateful decision in 2014 why did president obama fire michael flint what was the reason behind that. and then of course another question here brings into question the fact that the justice department refutes the claims made by the f.b.i. it suggests a conflict of reasoning between the 2 didn't it. well i think what we have in the marxian is a bunch of partisan hack. lawyers that frankly should be disbarred and prosecuted for what they did i make people do that's a very beginning of the sexercise in january 2070 yes b. i knew that there was an illegitimate criminal case against when it was struck then went ahead and instead of taking a criminal case lost a katter intelligence operation against michael flynn and then that ultimately led to them all of us going to this is a major op on the history of our country it caused a major cent of tensions with russia. and you know this is not

a light matter we need to go back to understand the origins what was the obama administration so fearful of when it came to michael flynn after all president obama told incoming president elect trump if the 2 biggest threats he saw of the united states were north korea and michael plant really in and of course this is all kind of ancient history now almost as now in the report on the impeachment saga almost feel like so way back in the past considering what is going on at the moment it is still a simmering topic stateside repeatable largely forgot about the whole russia gate things mostly at the moment i think it is going to prove to be the biggest scandal in american history and that's saying a lot far bigger than watergate i think it would bother ministration is is fearful of something i suspect it has to do with what hillary clinton and the clinton foundation was doing operating a wrote fake set of charities taking contributions and exchange for favorable

decisions about cronies of the clintons and perhaps the obama's this is a major scandal and we're just beginning to see the contours of it and we will learn a lot more in coming days i think all right investor do politics expert tells or tell things to time stay safe and well. now talking the same safe and well heard this years taken by slowly isn't it 2020 is all but written off for a lot of people who've had their lives are painted by coronavirus even a much needed some olive day is increasingly looking more and more unlikely the french president's told people they probably won't be able to travel abroad or even around europe charlotte evince he's been wondering if we'll ever be able to get away any time soon. no. you know there's really nothing quite like a summer holiday colorful cocktails to her and good books to read and of course.

it doesn't get much better than that except this year we may be staying put. we are going to limit major international travel even during the summer holidays. ok well that's not so bad europe has pretty much everything you'd want from beaches and mountains the historical cities and of course there are plenty of countries to choose from. so every hotel on what you mean we're not going to be travelling much in europe either. you don't hold we will stay among europeans depending on how the epidemic evolved so we may have to introduce even more limits right and well as you know france is also a great destination a huge country with so much to explore. critic at the moment we can go further than a 100 kilometers ok paris it is just.

festivals concerts and sporting events have all been canceled until at least the end of july while the opening dates for launch museums. restaurants etc still on ice meaning there may be little else to do but to admire the city's gorgeous architecture and perhaps a picnic outside by the river but of course i just socially. sponsible distance don't forget if you were thinking that that would be enough to make paris a visit you may hit another brick wall if you're travelling from outside the open border areas that's the shingle all the u.k. and there are quarantine measures in place 14 days in fact meaning you'd be

spending your 2 week break alone and staring at 4 walls so for this summer with love from paris or wish you were here but don't. r.t. paris either which way to get through this together day by day what we've lost the way things are looking so far this front of the. teams continue to work around the clock for you to keep you posted on t.v. online and social media i'm kevin i thank you for watching and to stay safe and well and have a great weekend. so many 5 years ago the scourge of fascism was defeated in europe the soviet union and its western allies were victorious what is the meaning of that victory today what

explains freezing efforts to rewrite history and out of the efforts to diminish the sacrifice of me by the people of the soviet union. it is the in here will you please do you think. more operation in dying or some of the wealthier neighborhoods in far more contained in the numbers are much lower than some of the foreign neighborhoods and start to see anything we're working with can source outside of the state is there just 'd so it is here so like anything out of. the.
