with the failings of the u.s. healthcare system exposed by the outbreak for health officials warn that things will only get worse if the government doesn't bring about drastic change. is that we don't have a universal health care system in the united states and that millions of people have no health insurance at all and our health care system is really based on profit and not based on people. hundreds of americans protest. violating the basic rights such as facebook adds fuel to the fire by removing one of the biggest communities in line with government

policies. also the us press corps no want to trust the house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff ever again after it was revealed that he lied about the trump russia collusion investigation. by the great to have you with us this international. let's begin it with daily check on the latest global coronavirus figures total infections now stand at about $4600000.00 fatalities are approaching 310000 the number of those who've recovered tops 1700000. u.s. health care system has been inundated during the pandemic not just with patients

but also criticism of the way that it struggled with the crisis now the former head of a key lab working on a vaccine as would congress if the government doesn't make rapid changes things will only get worse. our window of opportunity is closing if we fail to improve our response now based on science i fear the pandemic will get worse and be prolonged there will be likely a resurgence of covert 19 this fall and we greatly compound it by the challenges of seasonal influenza without better planning 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history meanwhile donald trump says that the country's done a great job in the battle with the coronavirus and claims it's only the media saying otherwise we talk to pediatrician and health care activist margaret flowers she says the pandemic has put the spotlight on the many failings of the current system. 3 major drawbacks that it has exposed is that we don't have

a universal health care system in the united states and that millions of people have no health insurance at all it also has exposed that we don't have a centralized health care system it's our system is very piecemeal and bureaucratic and disorganized and because of that there's been no real leadership coming from a centralized institution telling people how to behave telling health professionals what to do making sure that we can get resources to people who need them particularly our health care providers and the 3rd thing is that our health care system is really based on profit and not based on the health of people and so instead of doing commonsense things that would have enabled us to get tests out to people to get supplies to people we're seeing this whole. scurrying of various corporations trying to see how they can profit from this situation. u.s. nursing homes have been hit particularly hard by the crisis we spoke with dunghill

albany he's lost relatives to the virus including his father who was in a new york now sicko. one week. 5 deaths for them my uncle 3 cousins 4 of them. 3 of them god it is nursing homes so. i'm sure that the fact that they didn't have enough people. got people infected but the bulk of them with the patients being forced upon them with the virus they had no idea whether they had it or it's something that should have been known. prepared for by like federal especially the states it's all regulated by the state and local go. talk about having a pandemic plan early march elected officials. how could you not have a plan for our most vulnerable those that we have to honor those who are parents. the situation with nursing homes is come into sharp focus now after it turned out

that many hadn't been reporting the number of deaths there as claimed more than 30000 fatalities from america's entire virus death toll happened in homes and long stay care facilities relatives have complained of a lack of testing and in a number of cases of no one informing them even that their loved ones had to cope with 19 before they died we talked to american health care representatives about how they see the situation. the government could have a 1000000 rated the extent to which so reduce the extent to which residents were affected i think it's you know unfortunately the federal government kind of ignored some of the signs of what was going on and was very very slow to react and just generally and even more so in respect to nursing or what we're hearing from families sometimes is that families don't even know that their loved one had covert nights he until the resident has died so the person there were taken to the

hospital and it's too early we're hearing too often of residents and family members finding out that their resident had a roommate and that person was coping $1000.00 and they were separated in time and then their loved one also became kogan once he. were hearing about people not getting access the hospital because there were some you know because of their age because to disability and fortunately not seen as as being worth treating we have about 1300000 people in nursing home in the united states and i would say about a 3rd of those are over the age of 85 so it's a very large very vulnerable population people don't realize that a lot of people die in nursing home but if you just look at new york city if you say there's about 30000 who die i think after they do

a good job of counting the people guided nursing home it will be 60 also nationwide there's about 80000 who die that number will double and i think it will be about 200000 people in the united states right now only 30 states are reporting deaths but that's still 20 states that are been unwilling to count the people who are dying in nursing all. and add those numbers to their lists and i think some of that is political right the nursing homes are scared because when the word gets out about how frequent this is there are scared about what that does to their image the governors are scared because it makes them want but finally everybody is coming around to realize that we have to know the right numbers so that we can deal with this correctly. republicans controlling the michigan legislature claimed the state's governor gretchen whitmer trampled their authority

to stay home orders and other restrictions that has hundreds of armed protesters defied the governess policies our side the state capitol they called her a witch a nazi and even the virus itself. yes the. protest in michigan capital lansing has been going on for 6 weeks already on friday the local prosecutor's office said the man has been charged with making credible death threats against governor whitman michigan's not the only state where people are challenging lockdown policies in minnesota protestors are rejecting the governor's measures claiming that they cause the state to suffer even more high suicide rates due to the economic impact of the shutdown we spoke with locals from both those states. their freedoms are being taken away. now there won't 7 be any freedom to. how many

businesses in this country even. shut down. and not many i know. there's no strategy right now the whole thing is just a stalling and the only strategy so far is stay home. that's not a strategy for. give us radians i have no idea said on the 1st weekly or any last week or and indeed something he just off i don't know i'm not enjoying if i don't know now anyways and so i better let me receptions that when i do it in any way and yet he still then open up the churches which are their 1st amendment rights. the governor was picking winners and losers because he opened a candy store allowed 250 children and they're very wrong that the very scouts put out my eggs and the cemetery of our veterans are pretty earlier in an unprecedented

move facebook removed 239-0000 then to lock down community of michiganders as they acted in violation of the state order to stay at home but in the state of wisconsin the supremes court outlawed the lockdown so it's unclear how the social network will react given differences between states. facebook stated that events opposing the u.s. government social distancing policies will be banned from the site it's an issue we put up for debate. as a private company facebook can do whatever to ones even if it's a morally wrong idea and the situation like that the fact that facebook is shutting down political debate is taking it one step too far told time and time again that the arab spring was organized based book so the base book allows massive revolts in foreign muslim countries but not in america where they're based where they get massive tax credits where they were handed in with the government where they get a free pass on everything these companies are it's not just so simple as a private company like you want to kick someone out of your bar i mean they get way

more complicated than this and so they'll look at a group like the ones that are being shut down and say these people are dangerous they're going to upset the stability of what's happening when really is often just people who love this country love this constitution and really don't trust the government and the government doesn't give as many reasons to to trust that you have the right to choose to work rather than to choose to follow an idiotic government directive the solution is for people to voluntarily say look the government has failed to handle this at every level they have created a medical shortage where we never needed to have one they don't know what they're doing they've lied to us they've changed their story many many times so we need to do this on their own and many people will voluntarily as has happened in the states that have reopened will voluntarily stay at home we slowly reopen if we protect the people who are most vulnerable yeah of course you have some work cases you're not i don't think you're going i'm going to help expert but it doesn't seem like you're going to see a massive spike you can always look at countries like sweden that never shutdown so

it's come to a point where you've got suicide you've got mental health issues you've got drug overdoses that are skyrocketing i think we're seeing real problems with with what the directives have done to shut down this country we've gotten occur that's what we were promised now it's time to return. author and socio economic right sound because i'm a service an argues that people should think like a collective and consider others be our collective who creates the cover and right now for the safety. of people collectively it's necessary that we kind of shelter in place you're not allowed to put the mice my family and myself as well because you just you want to just go out and take those type of chances with a virus that's nontrivial it's not ok to use facebook to go into a group and say hey we need to hang the governor but that's exactly what was

happening the page was shut down because it raises some unity guidelines facebook which john allow for in inciting violence towards other people but the people who were protesting came with our weapons 840 seven's and military style weapons to stand in front of the michigan house of representatives and protest why do you need a gun for who are you shooting call the 19 is a virus what are you absolutely brilliant done to a protest of a virus the whole arms or what are you trying to accomplish who are you threatening . if you think the coronavirus pandemic has put politics on pause then think again a case in point is with the us where the leading figure in the so-called russia collusion saga adam schiff has been accused of being economical with the truth the charge surprisingly comes from the wall street journal which traditionally doesn't have much sympathy for tim truong skitt tale of reports. once upon

a time in and out of washington looked a man named adam schiff from his tower on the hill he spent years trying to say dryden don't trump but then one day himself and it up saying by one step hold the truth newly released congressional testimony shows that adam schiff spread full food shamelessly about russia and double trouble for 3 years even to his own committee gathered cold free evidence he misled because he repeatedly on an issue that consumed american politics no one should ever believe another word he says as chairman of the house intelligence committee she fled to russia trump collusion probe back in 2017 of the 14 months 50 plus witnesses $6000.00 pages of testimony the contents of which has now come to light and guess what no conspiracy and our attention just lost the freshly released transcripts reveal that top

intelligence officials cave in for questioning all tool holes in 6 stabbing 10 of the conniving kremlin tromp for example remember when george got the doctors the jail we have some breaking news out of washington former trump campaign aide george papadopoulos has been sentenced to 14 days in jail well apparently even back then the f.b.i. director wasn't 100 percent convinced. his comments didn't particularly indicate that he was the person that had had it was interacting with the russians also who could forget the infamous steel dossier used 5 russia gate as far wide as secret proof of madeleine when you look at just what has become public some of the public information is very much in line with what is reported in that dossier and of. well as i tried to explain before there's a lot of information in the steel reporting we've not been able to prove the

accuracy of all the information in fact the messages. from the transcripts is overwhelmingly obvious i never saw any direct and pickle evidence that the trump complainer or someone in it was plotting or conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election i don't recall intelligence that they would consider evidence to that effect that i saw prior of conspiracy prior to my departure obvious to everyone apparently exact who continued to hop from t.v. channel to t.v. channel weaving tales he already knew what true we do know this the russians offered help the campaign accepted help the russians gave help and the president made for use of that help the bottom line is did the russians intervene in our election and the answer is yes i did they make outreach the trump campaign and the answer is yes and it's not just that she actively misled the public it's that she even tried to hide the evidence most of the transcripts were ready for release long

ago but missed the shift of the refused to release them off he became chairman in 2019 he only released them last week when the intel threatened to do it 1st i mean he did make good use of that time he had the transcripts even managed to squeeze it in impeachment a tad waits just like his previous loser proud band leader call was a bust let alone to that heard the president feels vindicated so with trump kicks back in the oval office he's probably pondering the irony of ship's words the truth will come out the truth. will come out. i think it's just an absolute or a political earthquake there's no other way to put it over 3 years we see top officials including intelligence committee chairman adam schiff are the head of the n.s.a. at the time the. head of the cia all of them knew that there was no rush of collusion played along as if there was that it was best to geisha and they gave or

tasia and say appeared. in an all too willing media shift claimed he went on television and claimed that the russians offered to help trump trump knew the russians were offering to help he accepted the russians offer him the russians got him put into office he said all of those things when he knew for a fact based on all of the interviews that he did with the people that were there and involved he knew that it was absolutely untrue if he continued to say it anyway and essentially the attempt was to overthrow a duly elected president the united states whether we like a man or not it's immaterial this was a coup attempt and now we know what we suspected all along that it was all made up and they knew it was. fosco starts free antibody testing for the corona virus is the most lifting restrictions in the city this comes as much of the global media is simply not buying russia's official statistics show a relatively low death toll from the virus will explain after the break.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. that's right here it's a i r is the ticker symbol for hair it's

a closed and finally and you can buy all of the hair. that we feature here on this episode of kaiser report it's currently trading at a market cap of about $3900000000.00 but we're expecting the fed to come in in front run the market and take us up to a much higher capitalization possibly 7 or 9 trillion dollars. welcome back moscow has started free antibody testing for the. coronavirus for all residents of the russian capital the results are expected to help the government decide whether to ease the existing restrictions or to extend the number of new cases reported in russia on saturday so that 9000 $200.00 now that's the lowest in the country for several weeks though experts say it is still too early to say if

the situation is indeed improving more than $63000.00 people have recovered in total but 2537 have died i think is done and has more on the antibody testing and the current situation in russia with covert 90. so what the russian capital seems to be trying to do right now is that it is trying to figure out how many people have been under on carriers of covert 19 and how many of those might have immunity to this new coronavirus disease and so far more than 2000 people have already sees this opportunity to find this out now when it comes to russia as a whole while it is up there when it comes to the total number of those infected well it has shown some very very little mortality rate compared to the total figures and that has come into focus with some of some mainstream media outlets for instance the financial times has claimed that russia has some 70 percent more

deaths than it is reporting officially the new york times and turner speculated that well there are more than $1700.00 of extra deaths in moscow alone but bloomberg well it has gone further than all of them because it has released an article titled experts demand to know why the coronavirus hasn't killed more russians and this wording 4 well it hasn't been perceived well here because a lot of people have seen and this almost a direct demand of more deaths here in russia and so much so that bloomberg even had to rework the initial outline but brushes them back to london has commented on this judging by your reports russia's response has been to manipulate with figures at home and to spread disinformation abroad with the government act in inefficiently and doctors have an inadequate protection this distorted picture requires a refutation even by most pessimistic accounts russia's before months in terms of

health care system capacity and death rate is among the best of all major countries your article carries inaccurate statements coupled with an unacceptable and unprofessional one sided narrative now this version has been corroborated by the world health organization who have said that russia. as board its health care system time by reacting early to this new pandemic and when it comes to 2 facts coming out of moscow the had dr of what is seen to be as russia's benchmark hospital for treating over 1000 patients dennis percent co he has in turn to explain what allows them to save so many more lives than in other countries especially the town an example has shown us the seriousness of the situation what percentage of cases in russia is here in the capital half of them so all that was happening in easily allowed our system which took half of the patients to get ready our hospitals don't decide who needs a ventilator who can wait because we have enough of them here there isn't such

a problem in moscow because we did manage to prepare but it's always easier to ignore this pardon start claiming your statistics are fake well one of comes to all the fuss in the western media russia's former ambassador to the u.k. says that well they just hate to see when russia does something better than their countries the choice between the economy and human lives will leave its mark on people thinking worldwide for a long time the values of any society could not be questioned more acutely and it is no coincidence that this problem has caused such a rise in undiscovered irritation in the western press and the public's opinion assessment of so-called western values will have a practical assessment in terms of how many lives have been saved and the western elites will have to answer on this soon enough and foresee the pandemic has shown another dimension of the crisis in western societies for which moscow does not bear any responsibility in the past few days russia has been showing steady stable

figures of new coronavirus cases some have even very very cautiously pointed out saturday's decline in numbers while being very hopeful that this could continue but so far this new testing for antibodies is a new. measure that the russian government is taking to figure out what pace to open its economy and to bring life back to normality. twitter has sent its employees a letter saying that they don't ever have to return to the office mean that they are free to continue working from home for as long as they wish they also said the company's buildings won't reopen until september and that all events are postponed until at least 2021 shifting to remote working is becoming a wider trend among employers but it's not without its own problems nichiren explains. when our towns are finally lifted life will spring back to normal and we can all go back to work in our offices well not all of us will have some companies

have found they're quite prefer the new work from home systems what is there is the 20 or so before we employ these are in the role and situation that enables them to work from home and they want to continue to do so for ever will make that happen when the lonely has become an attractive new working style of the digital giants to facebook and google are already planning to give and or use the option to stay home as work it's not just silicon valley's it's social media heavyweights for business it's like nationwide insurance optus and j.p. morgan chase are also playing with the idea of letting their workers ditch the suits and ties to work and stay put in fact an incredible 74 percent of companies are said to be planning to permanently shift to the mall road work post 90 we are an insurance company our focus is to manage risk with plan for a crisis for years you cross out gas leak and insert curve it but we knew for

a long time we needed to be able to lift people out of the office and continue serving old man burgers it's a new corporate landscape there's also been endorsed by some politician has everyone who wants to and whose workplace allows it should be able to work in a home office even when the coronavirus pandemic is available so what's the big appeal of having more people work from home well one big bonus is it's more cost effective according to global workplace analytics a typical employer can save about $11000.00 a year for every person who chooses to work mostly just 6 months of the year the environmental benefits are also very attractive less traffic on the road test in march for office space is sustainability at its finest studies show that people who do work from home r r. really more successful and surprisingly more productive it all sounds too good to be true maybe it is good things like

a lack of structured working hours and absence so socialization with work colleagues have a detrimental effect on people could stay at home workers be as a crew great disadvantage if they don't have the cash to splash out on the latest computers and other gadgets and with office space going on the need it we see how gradual undoubtedly leaving all those who rely on office workers from cleaners to local coffee shops also feeling the pinch regard as it seems that working from home will be even the thing and people whose livelihoods rely on those who are out of the ballots have reason to be concerned just last week 3500 employees of taxi service were swiftly laid off i have a 3 when it is soon call many trees by. my house from someone wants to build all this and have a good day when we are last for

a game with you or staying indoors seems like the best option for many invite now are only time will tell whether it is the answer without the drawbacks. wrap things up for the news hour do appreciate staying with us here or our international if we can do join in about the team in this time of objects and see other. people. we go to work so we're straight home.

kaiser this is the kaiser report here we are here a lot of attention remember that the universe restarted in 2009 or near 11 of the toshiba nakamoto this is the 4th the pocket of big coin after having and everything is going exactly as planned i'm stoked i'm chuffed as they say in the u.k. you know it's almost like art it's so perfect it describes the human condition so well this big queen so i want to talk about the art world to compare charles saatchi to the u.s. federal reserve.
