in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shadows. greetings and salutations welcome back my hawk watching friends as we begin a new week in the age of 19 here in the united states of america recent days have brought us a a tale of 2 protests one featured american spall walks of life joining together to take on a corrupt system of oppression that is robbing people of their livelihoods and liberty in a time of crisis the other featured lots and lots of predominantly white people and very well armed americans throwing temper tantrums over not being able to go to the
11:31 am
store. i bet i bet you cannot guess which one of these 2 protests are brand name in chief the want to know me president donald trump himself indorsed well if you guessed the largest rent strike in nearly a century well thank you for playing but you can go home the son of a landlord is never ever ever ever ever going to get behind a rent strike no no no president trump took to twitter to throw his support to the armed lemming hordes protesting in front of the state capitals across the land tweeting the governor of michigan should give a little in and put out the fire these are these are very good people but they are angry they want their lives back again safely see them talk to them make deals with this from the man who an unarmed n.f.l. players simply took a need during the magical anthem to protest the killing of their black brothers and sisters by police officers. proudly exclaimed the following. would you love to see
11:32 am
one of these n.f.l. owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now out of the sky. i guess that logic means that heavily armed protests over being asked to stay at home for a few months during a pandemic is a far greater loss of liberty and far more noble a cause than you know protesting the loss of liberty that comes from getting shot to death by a cop. yes my friends a tale of 2 protesters where we begin our show today one focused on forcing the government to help those who are being economically savaged by rent and mortgage prices the other just simply partisan rage brought on by selfishness codify by white privilege and justified by trumped up years and it's at these crossroads that we will start watching the hawks. on
11:33 am
a city street you want to. see is this joyce state. great city this least systemic just says show which will be so. well government watching. and i'm. so boy oh boy we do have 2 different mass protests happening across the land right now one is for getting rid of rent mortgage payments right now the other is for. not i don't know not being able to go to the store. these protests couldn't be more separate the groups couldn't have more divergent views and ideas of what democracy moving forward actually means and one couldn't be more to own did you have this group that it makes perfect sense that they are arguing for. rick perry says that they are arguing for you know
11:34 am
freezes on mortgage payments and things like that because we're in the middle of a pandemic hundreds of thousands of jobs have already been lost and many more to be lost by june what else are these individuals going to do and it's also something that congress has looked at as well and as you stated we have a c. doing a lot of work and leading forward in you know pushing some some bills and trying to get attention around this she's been doing it for years at this point but now you know with the pandemic it's something that is in the national spear and then we have the white men majority in. better flags mixing that with american flags in militia gear carrying weapons pushing speeding on acting full on clowns of police officers in the basically a push to show that now they want to get their haircuts now they want to go to grocery stores and not wear a mask now they want to go to beaches somehow they feel their liberty is being taken away because of social distancing here's the thing no one's ordered martial law and until there is an order of martial law where you actually have soldiers and
11:35 am
police out on the streets telling you ordering you not to leave your home you will be arrested or shot on sight if you do when that day comes that i understand you know but until then the state homeowners are not law they're not you know they can't penalize you they can't give you fines if you leave your house at the end of the day this shows a gross misunderstanding of the constitution foremost also american history in general and the fact that civics isn't taught in our classrooms anymore because the fact that these individuals are running around saying that this is against their liberty that social distancing is something that is causing them to lose one of their fundamental rights that's a problem you know it is it is a major problem and i think that we have to not only educators understand we're coming from they're coming from a place of fear they're getting juiced up by their leaders saying oh they're taking away your rights they're taking away your liberty understand that there's a fear everyone no one wants to see their liberty taken away but where were these.
11:36 am
well when you saw like you know hundreds of thousands you know when you saw these hundreds of immigrants getting rounded up and thrown into ice detention centers getting their freedom and liberty taken away you can't just be selective if you're going to fight for people's freedom and liberty you've got to do it across the board you can't just wait for it to come and knock on your doorstep but you mentioned about the strikes brought up a great point about these red streak she said quote people are striking because they don't feel like paying rent they're striking because they can't pay rent that's the difference these people can do something they're saying i can't pay rent you cannot charge me for this so i'm just not going to pay absolutely and that's a very important distinction to make because individuals aren't just sitting on a pot of cash and deciding you know what i'm going to buy these shoes today and not pay my rent that's not what's happening here these are individuals who otherwise would have been able to pay it we are very clear that a pandemic has caused major upheaval in personal finance in the global economy and a lot of the industry and infrastructure that america is built on it only makes
11:37 am
sense to be able to allow these individuals a respite of time to be able to recoup and get back on their feet and represent real or more of minnesota actually introduced legislation that would cancel all rent and home mortgages payments for the duration of the covert 19 crisis heard legislation according to a website says quote the virus catastrophic the rent mortgage cancellation would constitute a full payment forgiveness with no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners and no negative impact on their credit rating or rental history so years of thing i want to see these people who are out protesting right now protest the right things don't protest the stay at home orders protest the fact that your government didn't have anything in place to protect you during these hard times that's what you should be protesting not storming the capitol with guns which by the way that was any other group of white people that had been shot dead before they even got to capitol grounds that they came up dressed like that colt guns absolutely i mean we i know as an african-american person that any type of any type of weaponry or even a cell phone. it card whatever it is that you might have in your hands equals you
11:38 am
dying you don't have to have any type of weaponry so this is really really shocking and upsetting at the same time. the coronavirus this catastrophic consequences to the global economy people's livelihoods and wellbeing are well documented the bias is changing everything about how we function some of these changes are to protect us from the spread of covert 19 other changes are self-imposed particularly to wade through economic trouble it's predicted that american women will see another dip in childbirth due to war women delaying parenthood that's typically what happens after a major economic downturn the us saw this in 2008 as the housing market crashed due to employment uncertainty and the living wage opportunities childbirth continues to decrease but being able to control when and if you become a mother is a luxury the coronavirus is having a devastating impact on women globally according to the united nations population
11:39 am
fund with many health centers closed or not in full operation due to the pandemic womanlike access to family planning unplanned pregnancies or result. if the lockdown continues well into the fall up to 7000000 unplanned pregnancies are expected 7000000 this only pushes those and underdeveloped countries further into deep despair it's no picnic for those in the developed world either as subsidized housing and food shortages continue to grow and unplanned pregnancy during the height of a pandemic when millions of jobs are washed away in a matter of weeks is no cause for celebration access to family planning is not only a human right but key to independence for many women across the globe women and girls of reproductive age makes a crisis in structural inequality already 'd add an intimate pregnancy to the mix and economic insecurity skyrockets it's only exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic women's reproductive health is too serious to ignore. that it so most
11:40 am
certainly is and that's a staggering number 7000000 potential employer pregnancies during this crisis yet and it's attributed to a few things 1st of all if we're talking about a lot of the a lot of our global nations part of this is the surge in a lot of child weddings we're seeing a lot of forced marriages among young people during this pandemic we're also seeing a lot of abuse women during this pandemic and we are seeing more and more women not have access to these preventative measures because a lot of the clinics are close so they can't get access to birth control because a lot of the clinics have lost or were losing funding even before the pandemic happened the access to birth control has been limited as well truly just it's frightening to think about that because it's you know we want people to be safe from this from this disease but at the same time we also want people being put into making those situations even more dangerous or more desperate either so you know what are you know is there things that we can do that people should be doing to head this off absolutely there are there are several sites right now that are up
11:41 am
and running that are supposed to be able to help women to locate areas where they can go for preventive care. or care to make sure that they have access to 2 different 2 different modes of being able to protect themselves from plan pregnancies but it depends on where you live one of the issues that we have is that those places aren't necessarily as a bailable not even in america much less countries that are lesser developed than ours they're not available everywhere or equally to everyone it's messed up too because you mentioned the issue of seeing this wild child marriages too which to me just is like one of the most disgusting things i ever see children you should be getting children married that's where the worst practice is that you can nothing justifies that to me we continue to fight you know in terms of women's movements women's empowerment trying to eradicate some of these very disastrous things that happen to young women and girls over time the child marriage issue isn't something that has gone away it's largely not as much in the headlines today as it was 10 years ago but it's something that continues to go on across the globe particularly
11:42 am
in areas where there is a lot of strife where there are wars where there is where there are shortages of food when you see it tend to uptick in those times it is and that's exactly what are we dealing with now but massive strife across the globe is everyone's deal with this thing and you know we have to remember that like that's part of the response i mean on the male side of it part of our responsibility is to help people far and equality and people who are our sisters and our wives and our mothers and people like that be you know thrown under the bus for lack of a better term during a time of national emergency these are those moments that are sort of the gender also has to step up and say hey you know what if you know that this person is abusive do something about it if you can help this person just bring over some prophylactics do something i mean it's that stupid but that simple you know absolutely any think that it has to also be recognized that one of the main reasons why women have been able to progress in education in the workforce in becoming you
11:43 am
know expanding their families is because they've been able to play in those families many young women did not have the opportunity to go to call. or to even get through high school because of early an unplanned pregnancies one of the reasons why america is light years ahead in many cases in terms of women's prowess in what they're doing and the graduation numbers of the women in the workforce is soley driven by the fact that a lot of women have had access to birth control in nations where that is not the case women are typically a lot further behind and because of the woman's right to choose a powerful powerful i think beautiful thing i'm fully support of a woman's right to choose because ultimately it is she is the one who has to be saddled with the gift and burden for 9 months and then taking care of that child afterwards you know and to me it's like we have to be supportive of that and we have to also be as a as a country as a society say hey what kind of burden does this provide and how can we best help this person and keep them from having to make a terrible choice in the 1st place absolutely right now we have
11:44 am
a half of the global population of children living in in dimmick poverty many of them don't have running water they don't have access to they don't have access to food they don't have electricity we're talking about young people who are born into one it's a families born with parents who have absolutely nothing and in many cases women would not have made that choice if they had other options if they were able to plan their pregnancies that's what makes this so important and at the end of the is that is the ability to have that option in the empowered choices empowered right and that's the basic rule of the of the bill is that we've you have choice you are empowered whether it's choice about the future of making a family or a choice about what job you want to get or whatever you want to get the choices where power comes from and at the end of the day choice is what everyone wants and choice is what everyone needs to be able to get to a move that is safe for them most definitely are and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand that your brand new portable t.v. which is available on smartphones through google play on the apple app store by searching portable t.v. or stream us to your t.v.

11:46 am
cigarettes are coming and a lot of people say well you can't go negative on a world reserve currency they also said you can ever print a negative oil futures contract they said you can never print and negative interest rate on a sovereign bond that's already happened and i think about warren buffett for a 2nd i mean i pity him at this point because he says he doesn't like stocks and he's hiding out in cash but his cash is about to go negative returns but negative interest rate on his cash is going to be losing money on his cash pretty soon and he said i'm would never own gold and i would never own big point so the only to life well it's for warren buffett at this point of gold and decline and he's based out of pride he's going to stick on his negative interest rate cash and he won't buy stocks so he's already underperformed the s. and p. for 15 years this is going to end up his career as basically a glorified money market slime that was a round trip to nowhere that everyone will just forget about.
11:47 am
during the vietnam war u.s. forces to neighboring laos it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how much it is officially the most heavily bombed country per capita in all of human history merely. ends of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country jordyn wieber went on to another topic that even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy and what help to the people need in that little. description sound up a tasing even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us
11:48 am
what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be the best people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes and arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems is a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research.
11:49 am
with all of the pandemic news many americans have put the 2020 presidential election and down ballot races on the back burner after all candidates have rallies the big ticket fundraisers are all but gone and campaigning is essential in all online it's definitely a new normal for traditional candidates political operatives and voters but with frustration and a growing divide among the electorate there might be quakes in the system partisan imbibing has angered voters specifically as a relates to coronavirus relief and players to get the economy back up and running but that's finally be the time 3rd party candidates break through. possibly but not without major odds in 2016 the libertarian party was on the general election ballot in all 50 states just 4 years later the party is on the ballot in just 35 states the green party made the ballot in 44 states in 2016 but only qualify for 22 states this november the conundrum lies in ballot access to get on the ballot came to its
11:50 am
need to collect is a big petition signatures in a normal election year this would be easy peasy and 3rd party candidates would already be on the road to getting it done but with covert 19 in state hold orders collecting signatures is impossible this poses a huge problem for 3rd party candidates michigan congressman justin amash a republican with libertarian leanings buying for the libertarian nomination is making headlines but if the libertarian party can't expand its ballot access little attention will be paid to any of its eventual nominees that's the same date the green party will have their ways to stay in the fight and maintain a following and here to discuss this and more is national director for the movement for people's party nick branch. nick always great to be with you always a pleasure having you talk of a 2 party system kind of crumbling and voters seeking other options we hear about every presidential election cycle but what makes this one in 2020 so uniquely
11:51 am
different from the times report of it before. what's different is that this time people have been brought to the brink in a way that they've never been brought to the brink before as a result of coronavirus of the stats that a lot of the you guys discussed just before this i mean $30000000.00 people unemployed nearly a 3rd of people who couldn't pay rent last month likely to be this month and so this time there people are also seeing the bipartisan agreement that is coming together around bailing. wall street and big business while leaving essentially small businesses and working people out in the cold they bailed out wall street and then they skipped town and they're only now just coming back to discuss essentially more bailouts that are getting siphoned up by big business. and nick has 19 reshape democracy we know that it's changing the face of this election cycle but
11:52 am
overall do you think that there are changes that could be 1000 has brought for better or worse for a democratic system of government. well there's no question that it's changing the way that the electorate feels about these 2 parties in particular the biggest problem is not necessarily that they're fighting or that there's too much partisanship it's that there's too much bipartisanship there's too much agreement around solving the around essentially serving the interests that they business but not working people and so now we have this dynamic where there's a majority of americans who want a major new party this is actually consistent trends it's been increasing for years and the same is true of people who are leaving the 2 parties by the millions and this is also been a consistent trend for years where to the point at which 42 percent of americans are now independents and there is an ocean of people who want a major new party. 3rd party candidates the people who are running on the 3rd party
11:53 am
moderate career libertarian green independent whatever how can very flourish in this moment because it's the window is here now and it's open how can we both utilize the window. i think the way to do it is to contrast with the 2 parties that are putting themselves so essentially so clearly not on the side of working people to very clearly state with a very clear package of things that working people need to survive at this moment i mean it's not a mystery and we're in the middle of a pandemic we need medicare for all we don't need to be saying that we should be told it like joe biden is you know we need also a 2000 per month universal basic income this is something that russia to leave and the congresswoman and also bernie sanders have gotten behind and some other politicians in congress we also need a complete suspension of mortgage and rent payments you can it is not reasonable to
11:54 am
expect people who are living paycheck to paycheck 80 percent of americans who are living paycheck to paycheck before this crisis to be paying rent. when they have no more income. and mc what are some ways around the ballot access issue and we talked about that we want to make sure that everyone understands you know what the impact of the ballot access issue is but there are seems to be so mwave that 3rd party candidates might be able to get around it specifically in terms of how to make the media pay them attention we know if you're not on the ballot in certain states media largely ignores you as a candidate. that's right ballot access has been made more difficult than it is for the major parties by the major party that's no surprise they rigged the political system in their favor but there's a tipping point when people get fed up and then we can overcome those challenges the ballot access we've seen that in the amounts of ballot access that states that you listed before that the green party and libertarian party have managed to get on
11:55 am
now there under these very unfair conditions where the pandemic is not allowing them to get on the remainder of states but there have been some recent legal decisions i believe in ohio and other states that are lowering those petitions requirements and also allowing online ballot access edition and that is making that easier and so that's good and that could potentially also make it easier to get new parties on the ballot because the same requirements legally go hand in hand after the general election which is precisely what we intend to do as the movement for a people's party get ballot access in all 50 states run in the midterms and then run in the presidential election the next one we only got a little bit of time left but i want to ask you how how has covert today we know it's presented challenges the funding for democrats and republicans how has how was fundraising been affected by 3rd parties you know that's a lot of times they don't have a big money people and big corporate lobbyist money into their parties mostly just whatever people can afford whatever common people can afford how has this affected
11:56 am
fund raising for 3rd parties. it's absolutely true and speaking for the movement for people's party are our fundraising our volunteer ing the number of people who've signed up has absolutely exploded in the wake of this and that may but also in the wake of this financial meltdown and in comic passerby and also in the wake of the new rigged election particularly inside the democratic party primary and so i suspect that the same is true inside the green party libertarian party it would have to speak to that but there is a discuss that is bubbling up against the 2 parties that i think is going to finally result in a major new party coming out of this election perhaps not necessarily in this election coming out of it i can definitely definitely offer groups that they're going to see that on the horizon thank you as always for coming on today and giving us the perspective from outside the 2 party drumbeat some of the other corporate
11:57 am
news shows what a push out of spite you so much there. great to be with you. and we've been a shop today with news that the acting executive secretary of the u.n. convention on biological diversity has called for a ban on wildlife what markets like the kind in china that many believe was the starting point of the covert $1000.00 epidemic this comes on the heels of a recent draft plan by the un convention on biologic biological diversity that called for safe guarding of 30 percent of the year slammed in sea areas by 2030 from man's destruction and pollution 30 percent with the hope that by 50 percent by 2050 in order to help stave off earth's 6 mass extinction that many experts believe human beings and their actions are directly responsible for the impact they estimate that as many as 1000000 land and sea creatures could be wiped out by human activity if nothing is done 1000000 extinctions you know my friend sometimes i
11:58 am
wonder if we are the real virus threatening our future so let's not be by rhesus while we are on lockdown let's take some time to care for not only one another but our planet as well. right that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world were not told the world. so i tell you all i love you i robot and i'm in the chicago keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. the divide is the in 80 willing. police this is. the core of

12:00 pm
this is the u.k. welcome to our viewers from around the world we're live from central london and we're currently awaiting the government's daily coronavirus press briefing loney from downing street that's coming your way very shortly meanwhile headlines this hour. british chancellor pretty soon i can answer is the government's job contention scheme is to be extended until october with businesses to share the financial burden. the kremlin spokes person for me to score test positive for corona virus becoming the latest top official in russia to catch the disease we get reaction from moscow. and the public is advised to wear face coverings in crowded places and on public transport as many prepare to return to work i'll be joined by
12:01 pm
a consultant in communicable disease control a little later. more than 480000 parents signed a petition calling on the british government to give parents the choice to keep children home when summer school classes reopened next month we hear from the head teacher. the british government has extended its job retention scheme for a further 4 months with the chancellor revealing the company's will also pick up a share of the bill. it was done she joins me now with the latest on this so she has the chancellor given the semi real detail on this well he's actually given a further life lived over 7500000 people that are currently being supported by the government's scheme as child service chief has just extended the government's job
12:02 pm
retention scheme for a further 4 months take it to the end of october by that point it will mean that the government has been supporting people providing a safety net for 8 months. until the end of july there will be no changes whatsoever. then from august to october and we're going to interrupt shadi year's report there as we can now join that business sector up sharma for downing street daily briefing good afternoon i'm joined today by professor stephen plus national medical director of n.h.s. england and album who is the chief executive of the health and safety executive 1st i want to update you on the latest data on the coronavirus response 2007146 tests for coronavirus have now been carried out in the u.k. including $85293.00 tests carried out yesterday. 226463
12:03 pm
people have tested positive that's an increase of 3403 cases since yesterday 11605 people are currently in hospital with coronavirus up from 11465 the previous day and sadly of those tested positive occur in a virus across all settings 32692 have now died that's an increase of 627 fatalities since yesterday. this is of course devastating news for families across the united kingdom. and we all need to stay alert and control the virus. i just want to remind people of the details of the next phase of our fight against corona virus that we set out this week we turn
12:04 pm
to the 1st slide. in order to monitor our progress we are establishing a new coded alert level system with 5 levels each relating to the threat or to the level of threat posed by the virus the alert level we based primarily on the on value and the number of coronavirus cases and in turn that alert level will determine the level of social distancing measures in place the lower the level the fewer the measures the higher the level the stricter the measures the church social distancing measures remain critical in our efforts to control the virus throughout the period of lockdown we started on march the 23rd we have been at level 4 meaning a coded 19 epidemic is in general circulation and transmission is high or rising exponentially but thanks to the hard work and sacrifices the british people in this
12:05 pm
lockdown you have helped to bring that our level down and we are now in a position to begin moving to level 3 in careful steps. as you see in the next slide. we have set out the 1st of 3 steps we will take to carefully modify the measures gradually ease the lock down and begin to allow people to return to their way of life but crucially was avoiding what would be a disastrous 2nd peak that overwhelms the n.h.s. . after each step we will closely monitor the impact of that step on the r. and the number of infections and all the available data and we will only take the next step when we are satisfied that it is safe to do so step one from this week those who cannot work from home should now speak to their employer about going
12:06 pm
back to work you can now spend time outdoors and exercise as often as you like you can meet one person outside of your household outside provided you stay 2 metres apart step 2 from june the 1st at the earliest as long as the data allows we aim to allow primary schools to reopen for some pupils in smaller class sizes. nonessential retail to start to reopen when and where it is safe to do so cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed doors without crowds. and then step 3 no earlier than july the 4th and again if only to do it says a lot sharma the business secretary given the government's coronavirus press briefing there live in downing street he reiterated the government's 5 virus alert levels and spoke of the plan to get those who called to work from home back to work
12:07 pm
now let's return to our correspondent shadier who's been listening to this and before him we'll talk about the chancellor let's go back to what he had to say about the future all the furloughs scheme yes absolutely so vicious to knock the charts now he extended that further less came by an additional 4 months take it well to the end of october which essentially means by that point the government would have stepped in for an additional 8 months until the end of july there would be no changes whatsoever. then from august to october the scheme will continue for all sectors and regions of the u.k. but with greater flexibility to support the transition back to work employers currently using the scheme will be able to bring furloughed employees back part time. and we will ask employers to start sharing with the government because of paying people salaries full details will follow by the end of may but i want to
12:08 pm
assure people today of one thing that won't change workers will through the combined efforts of government and employers continue to receive the same level of overall support as they do now. now initially there was much talk of a pay cut whereby the government only cover around 60 percent of an employee's salary however it has confirmed that that is not the case and the government will be stepping in for that full 80 percent up to of course $2500.00 pounds of anybody's salary now this photo scheme is actually costing the government around about the $10000000000.00 pounds front so now there's slight updates about fairness scheme where the government wants to do a cost sharing mechanism whereby the government and private companies together would bear the burden of cost plus the government also wants to introduce more flexibility around the transition to try and get people back into work by hopefully
12:09 pm
allowing people to on the one hand be part of the photo scheme but also go back to work even in some cases on a part time basis from july onwards this is all of course part of the government's big plan to get britain moving again part of boris johnson's exit strategy out of this lockdown measures that we've still currently in now yesterday it sounded very much like from number 10 downing street that they wanted much of the u.k. to get back into the workplace as early as tomorrow however there was severe criticism that not enough guidelines have been put in place nor any safety procedures either however today the government has now published those guidelines including asking employees to put up screens or barriers between employees in order to keep them separated in the workplace it also advices that workers be placed into fixed teams or what place partnerships so that each employee can only physically work with a reduced amount of people at any one time it back to back all side to side desk
12:10 pm
arrangement is also recommended in the office in order to avoid people sitting face to face and of course the government continues to recommend frequent hand washing as well as cleaning the office environment so these guidelines plus boris johnson's exit strategy as well as today's announcement of the photo scheme is. all part of the u.k. catholics plan to get britain living once again at a thank you very much indeed for that update of the government is advise the public to wear face coverings in crowded places as more and more prepared to go back to work as the transport secretary encourage people to make their own we are not advising medical level p.p. is used that's absolutely would go against the public health england advice or rather that the type of people who should be used as a type that you make at home based on the information which is now actually on the government website and shows how to make people either from an old t. shirt or. one the reason for that is absolutely critical for medical point of view
12:11 pm
that we don't withdraw and compete with medical applications for p.p. so people should make their own p.p. which is a face covering. covering the should be worn where social distancing is difficult such as on public transport and in shops people have also been told to face away from fellow passengers if they are unable to stand at a 2 metre distance meanwhile primary school children teaching staff or shelter to return in early june when be required to wear one as it's only useful when one for a short time scotland is advise in the wearing of protective gear while the welsh government is not well as a transport for london is preparing to restore travel services for all those returning to work in the capital it's also released a statement encouraging all passengers to wear masks while travelling and indicated that hand sanitizing dispensers would be introduced well to discuss whether the public should wear face coverings and are joined by senior consultant and

communicable disease control dr brett penn kanya dr thank you so much for being with us of course at 1st words of face masks were useful and now we're told that they are so a lot of mixed messages coming from the government. yes but if you think about it in a crowded place where social distancing is impossible such as the tube train the train the buses the crowded platforms the supermarkets what can we do we can add an extra layer of protection by covering the sea creations that come from our nose and mouth and holding them back in them in the mask and that's the idea of covering your nose and mouth so that you don't in fact other people in your immediate vicinity of course we see a lot of people wandering around with masks anyway not in crowded spaces do would you actually prefer prefer police see people wearing masks all the time whether in crowded situations or not scientifically speaking the issue these we don't want to
12:13 pm
create new cases and the new cases are generated in that crowded situation so that in the on the bus the train the supermarket where other people are mingling near you musk's out in the. when when you're exercising walking in the streets i think the it's utility is minimal and therefore i wouldn't want to enforce that and masks can be uncomfortable of course can't they so people often touch their faces to adjust them so it perhaps does that pose even more of a danger no but what we need to do is be careful that we have a covering around our mouth and always as we've clearly articulated that hand hygiene is not now secondary because we're burning a mask you continue with your infection control you continue it timetabled regular hand washing and when you can't wash your hands you use the hand gel and that way you're protecting your hands from introducing germs to your nose and mouth and at
12:14 pm
the same time the mask is in case you are infected you're not passing it on to others how should we be getting hold of effective mass present because of course is a huge pressure on the n.h.s. at the moment so because the government's advice lead to a shortage in facial protection no i would say this is the time to get fashionable at this very miserable and worrying and depressing dimes so people are very artistic and very smart so i'm looking forward to very smart very cheerful make me smile dark homemade masks what we want is an observant layer on the inside so it is soaks up all the sea creations and on the outside we wanted to be water repellent and a kite we've to protect things coming your way because sort of a tyranny or talking about them because the government saying you could pick up a t. shirt and news that you could but on the outside to be truthful i would prefer a more tight weave waterproof type covering rather than just a t. shirt the dish it type it could be on the inside layer now is the government
12:15 pm
indorsing facemasks or encourages to get back to work is more of a more of a safety blanket. i think it is a bit of both and my view is that even with the shutdown people had to go shopping and do takings and some people had to go to work on the public transport and we should have been wearing masks in those circumstances and i would say whether you go back to work or not where ever you are in a crowded situation where the mask to protect yourself and to protect your other fellow human beings and that advice really helps those who are very fearful of going back to work of course people are extremely worried to go out in the open but if they follow your advice then they should be less afraid i hope so and and really we need to sort of keep that measured approach to what to do and that measured approach is look i want you to look after yourself so protect yourself keep your hands clean don't go around touching things and wear that protection and that may

came into contact with the last month was a month ago now this makes him one of the few high profile international figures who have been infected we'll of course remember the u.k. prime minister boris johnson but with specific guts to russian politicians the prime minister misused and tested positive and doctors say he's now on the road to recovery since then both the construction and cultural ministers have been infected now today actually marks the 1st step towards returning to normal life because often announced yesterday that the country would start shedding lockdown restrictions today cool sectors of the economy like construction agriculture got up and running again and must go alone around hoping 1000000 returned to walk this tuesday but that's not to say it's business as usual given how far does no one set of rules as to how this is going to be done each government various corners of the country let's remember russia has 11 time zones will assess the situation on the ground and decide which restrictions can be eased which need to remain so for

example in some siberian cities people if they will come in parks and popping in to reopen to close shops but medicare most the countries hotspot we've been told to continue south isolating until may thought so the region's going at the pace as they tried to fire up the economy again want to take all the necessary safety precautions and just as the country started to see perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel a sad story actually broke by 1900. 18 treated in an i.c.u. and some people died after a fire broke out that the fire was triggered actually by an election. well in one of the ventilators of the government that the profession is in the past it's a factorization of over 150 people the good news is that the fire has now been cut out so really that's just kind of a round drop of what the cry to virus landscape as you look at night here in russia today. parents are calling on the british government to give them the choice to keep children at home if schools reopen next month it comes after the prime

minister announced that the 1st of june was the earliest possible date consider reopening schools starting with pupils in reception classes those aged 4 to 6 and 10 to 11 if infection rates are low enough other secondary schools are likely to stay closed until september schools have been officially closed since the 20th of march but children of key workers and vulnerable pupils have been allowed to attend well that says more than 4 190000 people signed a petition calling on the government to give parents the choice to keep children at home if schools reopen next month while children are believed to be low risk there are concerns about them transmitting the virus between homes and to teachers and staff a national education union which backs the parents says schools simply designed to stop the spread of the virus. parents are quite rightly concerned about the risks to their children not just at school but on their daily journeys to i'm from school
12:24 pm
this in turn threatens the safety of adult in the school community parents families teaches heads and support staff social distancing for younger children will be difficult to achieve and for others there will be the issues of narrow corridors and classrooms that just aren't big enough to allow social distant thing. parents can be issued a fixed policy notice if their child doesn't authorize absence from school and the penalty of 60 pounds is issued to each parent for each child but it could double if it's not paid within 21 days and even result in prosecution if not paid within $28.00 days but the government has said that those rules will not apply to parents who decide not to send their children in during the current pandemic of a more or less i'm not joined by head teacher of washing broke out to be jason o'rourke jason thanks for being with us now the government would allow children to come back to school only if infection rates are low enough yes yes it's
12:25 pm
true in the 1st is the day they were given. the blue and it was only consultation 'd with. their teacher unions on this they do know about this. yes it's going to be a bit of a challenge do you want to go back by then. i don't think it's feasible at the current. wow we when asked who would enter an assessment today of the space that we have we can probably fail to meet it so should just i'm seeing rules about 7 children in a class. we have 40 or children in each of the groups we then will have to look at how we do on a row to see a system. this is no direction to stop wearing any p.p.a. the government said that they don't need a pm she interesting saying your previous guest dr apparently sang about social distancing is not possible well it wouldn't be possible within a school setting especially with the younger children as well so it's going to be
12:26 pm
very much a challenge to try to get these schools to open for these young children as well so you're concerned about the safety the stuff because children seem relatively safe from the virus and but they consume carry and that is so awesome on and we have lots of adults and consent to that. and also you can pass it between a child and if they haven't got it then and they can pass to their that parents and their families and it's a say it's going to be a very tricky situation to do this especially the building sizes of the and especially with an infant school and in the beginning for school as to control of the school that could be attending fringe in the us. sure and of course at the moment we've got people going back to work and we need schools so those parents who can afford the child can of course share we want to get the economy going we want to make sure that you know we. move forward as quickly as possible but the health
