this morning's headlines smarts international has russia breaks through the $200000.00 mark on total infections we meet families grieving for loved ones lost in the early days of the outbreak but want to go home and when it really is picking up those left his last words i raced until that their last moment hoping they would call me and tell me if you had been a mistake my parents did a lot and it's showing they could have done much more. for the monkey of the biggest story of the week just gone world leaders pledged over 70000000000 euros to find a vaccine for corona virus but there were some notable absences at monday's virtual summit. bus italy takes his 1st steps into life after the world's longest lockdown

but it seems few have been ready to rush out. ghosts because of the state sometimes we just across from. the people. of this book despite as you can see there are so many. good morning just past 1 am in our moscow life martin to nationals world news h.q. it's kevin i would with thanks for your company for the next 30 minutes hopefully as it take you through the main stories of the last 7 days as reported by us 1st the latest covert 1000 figures hits a week where the world's reached another grim milestone the total number of infections is now more than 4100000 globally the virus has claimed more than 283000 lives in terms of recoveries of 1400000 people have managed to conquer the disease .

the picture here in russia now the total number of infections has climbed above 200000 with again a record amount of daily new cases logged on sunday it's now the 5th most affected country globally and as one of the highest rates of new infections in europe officials put much of the spike down to an increase in mass testing giving a fuller picture of the spread of infections russia has carried out more than 5400000 tests that's the world's 2nd highest amount. lately we have increasingly multiplies the number of attacks and the number of positive cases has increased accordingly we see from a dynamics by the dynamics of positive cases doesn't indicate directly at the growth of the contagion but it indicates firstly the brought number of tasks and diagnosis of infected people. who are not surprisingly moscow is russia's outbreak hot spot in accounts for more than half of all the country's cases from choose day

it'll be obligatory for people to wear masks and gloves in public places here and the stay at home regime has been extended until the end of the month some less affected regions outside of moscow meantime might start to gradually relax their restrictions for his health watchdog presented a 3 step plan to president putin in the week but he warned of the dangers against rushing ahead with easing the log. we see that the situation with the spread of corona virus in each of the regions is differences as i've already said in one region tough justified preventative measures need to be maintained or even toughened and in others it's possible to plan to ease that move justified but that's only possible based on the opinion of scientists specialists and taking into account all factors and possible risks i emphasize again we must not run ahead of ourselves any negligence or haste can cause a breakdown and roll back the price of the slightest mistake is the safety lives and health of our people. of course the numbers don't reveal the extent of the very deep personal grief suffered by some families relatives online series epidemic has

been hearing from people who suffered tragic losses early in the outbreak when it was still unclear what was happening. i want to go home when will you pick me up and those were his last words. i was such a skeptic i have so much bravado about the coronavirus i was taking a suburban train to moscow it was the last working week i had to deliver 8 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 realized that this cold 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 there was a potion the entry road to moscow got to be run out of times he was gone. the whole family fell ill my children and i lived or lived with my parents there were 5 of us together and both my dad and mom felt war simultaneously almost at the same time unfortunately i had a phone call on the 6th of april as 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 know my mom. they just marked their 45th wedding anniversary this year i'm so ashamed that until

their final days i kept saying i didn't have health a strong as my parents my mom for example could go to the research institute she 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 to mayo 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. great and your father was a physicist wasn't he here yes he was a famous russian and so did laser physicists an experimental physicist his work wasn't just theory though his discovery still has a practical use today my parents did a lot and it's a shame they could have done much more change. instead of i waited until the very last moment hoping they would call me and tell

me there had been a mistake it can be true i said he was really young daniel was so neat and tidy and he understood by this was a very dangerous thing which is in fact did everything and we always sanitized our hands even when we traveled from the airport by taxi with doesn't back to the car with alcohol i can't understand how this happened correct. your god did he have a chronic diseases because of you. know you're not that old you know he had his heart. examined 3 years ago but he's too young for heart disease yet just 40 years old did he have diabetes now knows for existing conditions he was an absolutely healthy young man yes. people are like was that support you fear nothing with them various. people honey

you can always rely on them. and then. suddenly one of those was come. i don't know what will happen to me next. world leaders pledged almost 7 and a half 1000000000 euro to fund development for a coronavirus vaccine a video conference on monday falling just slightly short than of the target set by the european commission which organized the fund raiser is more who stepped up to the plate and who didn't even show up is our europe correspondent peter oliver monday's online summit ended with a presentation hosted by european commission president live on the line and which they said how much these nations were going to be giving and why this was an important joint cooperation honestly the presentation looked a little bit like a cross between a telephone and the result section of the euro vision song contest but instead of order issuing points to various different nations where they were issuing pledges

of in some cases hundreds of millions of year 0 the overarching message though coming out from what the world leaders had to say was that this has to be a joint effort internationally and at no stage can it turn into an arms race we have to join forces pull our money and our minds to kick start work on vaccines diagnostics and treatments against coronavirus so that. when the vaccine is ready. yes to be for the worldwide public good it has to belong to us all the race to discover the vaccine to defeat this virus is not a competition between countries but the most urgent shared endeavor of our lifetimes it's humanity against the virus we have a common vision let us not want people 1st everywhere one of those they should is not taking part was the united states of america donald trump's america 1st policy

doesn't really sit all that well alongside international cooperation the us president has said that he's confident in his country discovering a vaccine to the coronavirus we are very confident that we're going to have a vaccine at the end of the year by the end of the year have a vaccine it's not just the u.s. president expressing that sentiment senior u.s. officials as well have said they're not sure about getting involved in a co-operative effort to find a covert 19 vaccine saying that the commercial implications the geo political implications of having such a vaccine might not be worth sharing biomedical research has long been a focus of theft especially by the chinese government and vaccines and treatments for the corona virus so today's holy grail putting aside the commercial value there would be great you political significance to being the 1st to develop a treatment or vaccine we will use all the tools we have to safeguard american research also not present on that video call with russia's president vladimir

putin's russia has said they support this global initiative but are supporting it only as an observer so far that may change as things develop down the line but for those that did take part they said as i said that overarching message was that it's only through international cooperation that we can find a solution to the coronavirus that works for all nations around the planet. it's least we're getting its taste of life after lock down as much as slowly began being eased on monday workers and small business owners turned out to raise awareness of just how dire people's finances are worsened but only 2 months of confinement there. didn't. desperately try to get their livelihoods back on track as soon as possible they demanded being allowed to reopen their businesses and appealed for leaders to grant tax breaks to prevent the vital venetian tourism and food industries from

collapsing italy was of course the 1st nation to impose strict measures as coronavirus took hold in what was europe's 1st flashpoint is currently 3rd in the world when it comes to the number of deaths even so 4000000 italians headed back to work last monday while others got their 1st prolonged period out in the fresh air in 2 months but many others renaud rush as one resident who lives on the adriatic coast showed us most graphically. people of the walking. just the lot the love to stay in big groups but it's just people who knows each other at least secure all those you can see there are no cars on the road you see on the few good thinks the slow down i mean clearly bored to sort of clear interest but. after 45 days of lockdown as far as you can see he's did everything he's closed we're still able to open our day our economic activities your thoughts come up to the birthday parties

that you just across from the. people walking on the beach at this point despite as you can see there are no so many. the numbers to funny all aspects of the pandemic right now are frankly staggering with livelihoods and industries almost unrecognizable from just a few weeks ago in the united states record unemployment is now worse than the great depression nearly a century ago as kalam open explains. the latest numbers confirm that we are at great depression levels at this point 20500000 jobs have been lost and that brings the official unemployment rate to about 15 percent now this essentially represents an entire decade of jobs lost basically all the jobs gained sense the 2008 financial meltdown have gone away now donald trump is speaking up and saying he should not be blamed for this this is not his fault this is us president donald trump yeah it's totally expected there's no surprise everybody

knows that somebody said oh look at this well you know even the democrats are blaming me for that those jobs will all be back it up be back very soon now we have heard at least one democrat voice that has blames donald trump take a listen. this is president trump's economic legacy cracks in the economy as a result of his trade wars and tax cuts have now spread wide open as a result of his ignorance and incompetence so who's the hardest hit well jobs have been significantly lost among hospitality workers as well as leisure retail workers and professional and business services but the interesting thing about those statistics is they don't include a lot of workers in the united states many have written about how in the usa we have more or less a gig economy where we have workers without contract workers that are independent contractors they're not officially counted among the unemployed when they stop

getting work for for example like goober drivers and many others in this good economy they don't you know get factored into those unemployment statistics so the actual rate of job loss and income loss is significantly higher now silicon valley has been pretty badly hit many tech giants have apparently laid off workers and. has at this point reduced its staff by 14 percent and we have the opportunity to talk to some americans about these numbers and about the unemployment and the economic toll of the coded 1000 pandemic here's what we heard they have an obligation to themselves the company to keep it going to be can't afford to pay people when people aren't spending money. it's it's said that trickle down effect you have money to spend it is boost the economy if there's no money coming down to people's pockets they can't spend it so how do you expect to pay your boy now a total of $33000000.00 americans have filed to receive unemployment benefits sense

mid march and around the country we are seeing these protests calling for the opening up and lifting of restrictions the ante lockdown protests however many people look at those anti lockdown protesters that are calling for the lifting of health regulations and saying that by. gathering in big groups by by being loud and assembling and being in close proximity to each other they're probably making the health measures that caused these these regulations and a lockdown to be put into effect they're probably making the health situation worse so quite a bad situation economically in addition to the ongoing health effects of the pandemic tough times this is arts international live from moscow thanks for watching i'm kevin know it's so tough times of course but this weekend just gone many nations have been remembering the defeat of a deadly enemy and a time of even greater suffering but guess who has been digging up the part they played in ending the 2nd world war will tell you when the we can have it after this

quick break. all that sugar has created excess body fat the majority of people worldwide and that impairs immunity and therefore makes us more vulnerable to infection and during this period when we're more isolated in our all. we. want to eat more sugar that's really the worst thing people can do to janet's coming in this is clearly this is just very clear that it's those the. symptoms of over outcome or biddies and it's those individuals that are coming into the hospitals it's those individuals that are simply leaving. and it's ultimately

because they. have all of this regulation there for medical. i guess this is not international is a bit of sad news coming from the moscow region brief russia's emergencies ministry saying tonight that 7 people have died in a fire at a private residential care for the elderly in the moscow region it's understood there were $29.00 in the building at the time of the fire started 18 of them were bed bound patients 4 are still missing no details about the cause which broke up partly on the 2nd floor the regional prosecutor's office has launched an investigation. on saturday russia marked the 75th anniversary of victory

day remembering the key moment when soviet troops captured berlin forcing the nazis into surrender other countries who fought to be marking the triumph of fascism to order the white house of late seems to have a somewhat distorted memory of who did what on maybe 8945 american great britain had victory over the nazis america's spirit will always win in the end that's what happens the 2nd world war was the 20th centuries darkest chapter more than 80000000 lives were lost while the us and britain suffered over 800000 deaths the soviet union bore the brunt of the casualties with their own 26000000 killed as the war drew to a close 1500000 soviet troops took part in the battle for berlin launched in april 945 the red army captured the german capital in may as fellow allied nations broke

the nazi machine over on the western front by the 8 it was over the 3rd reich and fall in the nazis surrendered along the way most countries have given a little perhaps the arctic polish to their recollection of the war effort but more than a few people know a furious at the white house white washing the flags absolutely false it was the soviet union that defeated nazi germany now the u.s. and u.k. throughout most of world war 2 the u.s. and u.k. face just 10 german divisions combined the soviets along fired more than 200 german divisions the white house is trying to rewrite history u.s. propaganda in steroids at least respect history the use ceasar conquered berlin and ended the war after losing almost 30000000 lives don't they normally have to be traders so we should take his koreans after him only the u.s. and great britain get

a history book. not sure of this ignorance arrogance but both hugely disrespectful and regardless what anyone thinks of the former soviet union in reality it was they who took the lane and it was they who lost more of the country man than any at the nation the only place where usa wins w.w. 2 the russian foreign ministry serious of the white house tweet saying it one serious dialogue now with washington of the continued to tends to distort and downplay the soviet union's role in the war for us to put much of jet tristan p. to make the director of the nuclear studies institute both say perpetuating a story telling the rents is a reckless move they have eric inversion of adjectives that i think it was sort of projecting back from the present time where the united states is the leader of all progressive humanity standing up for human rights democracy etc etc and they are retroactively projecting that view of american dominance onto history

including on to the 2nd world war our attitude toward the show be a union even in the depths of the 1st cold war was far more careful and floor more respectable than it is toward post communist russia problem though is what it says about current attitudes we are there is a very strong sense from the american establishment that they can simply dictate terms to the rest of the world and they have an almost cavalier reckless added to toward insulting other countries and i think doing so almost really deliberately show that we're in charge you are not we can do what we want you can object but who cares and i think that's the dangerous part that kind of attitude which unfortunately permeates so much of our policy donald trump. is a complete ignoramus when it comes to understanding history. man has no knowledge

of history at all so the fact that he would repeat one of the fundamental myths about world war 2 is not shocking but the problem is that this is what most americans are taught in the schools and in the media does this says these idiotic things as a distraction. and in knows now that politically he's a very deep trouble that the facade that is for the up about competence and great economy has now been shredded and so he's got to find some other way to distract and he looks for scapegoats and he's trying to distract people's attention away from the real situation and so as part of what this new calls for strategist gesture toward china i want to thank the fact that he does that the role of russia played on world war 2 is seen as pathetic so it's very important to struggle for not and not corrupted u.s.

history. pretty scientists revealed this week that the corona virus may have spread around the world last year sometime between october and december they think the conclusions come from a genetic study of some pills for more than 7000 people who get infected with france being one of the worst hit countries is it true particularly special attention from the medical community and this is a russian mob who appears to be the country's so-called patient 0 he was diagnosed with a corona virus a month before the 1st official cases were registered in france he talked to us through his story. around december 20th i got a dry cough and sometime later a fever my temperature rose to over 40 celsius my wife told me to call an ambulance in winter i usually do fall ill with flu but this time it was different i was taken to the nearest hospital the medics told me you'll have to be put on a ventilator that was because i could hardly breathe i had been coughing up blood

and my chest was aching as if i had been stabbed with a knife while i was in hospital i couldn't walk or sit up straight i was lying down all the time i was given a c.t. scan they took me from the intensive care unit to the radiology department 3 or 4 times because they couldn't understand anything they told me there was nothing on your x. rays nothing the doctor said i can't discharge you while you were coughing up blood on the 4th day after i started treatment i asked if i could leave the hospital the doctor warned that if something went wrong i would have to return at home i kept taking medicine for coughing 10 days later i only had a light cough they told me you must have had a serious lung infection back in december nobody had heard of covert 19 in china it all began around mid january i learned i had coronavirus only 10 days after i left the hospital in france the outbreak started at the beginning of march and i caught the virus in december to me it's unbelievable 2 months apart the doctor called me

and said mr amar you were lucky that's true because today this virus has spread everywhere. so tony turn has been all but written off a lot of people over the lives of 10 deployed coronavirus even a much needed summer holiday in the week looked highly unlikely more and more because the french president chipped in and told people they probably won't be able to travel abroad or even around europe. been wondering if we'll ever be able to get away and the time sir. 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 manson's the historical cities and of course there are plenty of countries to choose from. sorry hotel on what you mean we're not going to be travelling much in europe either. you don't hold a among european depending on how the epidemic evolved 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. 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 that's a socially. responsible distance don't forget if you were thinking that that would be enough to make paris the visit you may hit another brick wall if you're travelling from the open border area 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 wish you were here but don't show others to ski arty paris well. these last 7 days in the news as reported by us to you here moscow through these tricky times are 2 we'll of course continue to keep you fully posted from the studios and teams around the world as well as online and social media and we'd like to thank you too during these times for taking the time to check in with us we appreciate it. kevin owen stay safe and well on a very good morning from russia.

you cannot be both with the yeah you like. 35 years ago there was a global solidarity to annihilate the scourge of nash's i'm from here the soviet union and its western allies prevailed against nazi germany today such global solidarity is sadly missing in face of the current pandemic in what blocks this very necessary solidarity nothing. i think the men that we attract to the military you know we've got to the army of one you know be all you can be all those themes that we've.
