giving thanks for joining us you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. ok let's start with our daily check on the latest global coronavirus figures total infections now stand above 4700000 fatalities have topped 314000 while the number of those who recovered stands a little over 1800000. an unknown inflammatory syndrome believed to be linked to covert 19 is threatening children's lives across the globe the problems now being confirmed by the world health organization now the youngest known fatalities so far was an 8 month old british boy hundreds of cases of the syndrome which says many similarities to the rare disease have already been recorded in north america and europe with france

seeing its 1st death from the condition recently but we have to emphasize. that where it's $20.00 to $25.00 children in france it's a new disease it looks like how is that disease. different it is not the real powers act it's so we have to understand and that's why we are collecting all those things. the condition is thought to be caused by a delayed immune response to the corona virus italy has seen a spike of cases of this new ailment while more than 100 children have been hit with the condition in the united states 15 states there have now launched a study into the mysterious illness the new condition has a number of symptoms including blood inflammation can also affect the heart it's the fever rash abdominal pain and vomiting as well which in particular drawing comparisons with the cow or saqi disease the new york state governor said health

care workers believe not only can cope with 1000 provoked the condition of the symptoms themselves can indicate the patient is suffering from the virus as well we've lost 3 children 5 year old boys 7 year old boy unity year old girl this is a truly disturbing situation department of health that is telling hospitals and medical providers to prioritize testing for the called the virus for any children they are demonstrating the symptoms lottie's video agency ruptly spoke with the mother of one child who was struck down by the condition but who later recovered. his fevers by 202 and he still couldn't keep anything down he was complaining about major pain in his belly and said. he didn't touch it anything like that so his dad called the doctor and they said they restruck so he had a strong in rochester and they did a good test there is a big test back within

a couple hours and it came back positive and they were concerned about his heart which would be getting excessively fast and his hydration on its ear the doctors saying they would the ways hydration everything was they were only giving him another 28224248 hours we were lost we didn't get medical help they were doing talon our 1st fever and they gave him an eye be a g.p. to help because the new system was basically overreacting is where they put it so it helped calm everything down and he was in the bit you were in a saturday would say he was able to keep anything down. laurel is the lancaster university dr mohamad bernier says with school slowly coming back on line the children need to be carefully watched. okazaki disease. not yet known how it is triggered but it is certainly known that it is caused by an auto immune response

to any and he didn't so there are few chances that whatever whenever. he has an activity that he could be more prone to our community infection made call a virus that the body over react to the infection however the impact of going to virus on to the auto immune infection similar to call a stock you still need to be explored if we look into that out now there are very small proportion of the children who are observed having this kind of condition so they are for the impact on the global scale it doesn't seems to be that high but this is certainly something that needs to be watched me closely especially in different governments are planning to open the schools and if that would be the condition of your children are very likely to develop a saki like a syndrome and then having chances to get infected with on a modest might add to it that this is certainly something we need to be watching very carefully. children in france have been testing down the uniforms this week

because infant and promise school started to reopen following the lockdown while the some parents fear the government's push for normality could end up bringing the coronavirus right into their homes so that they've been ski has more. this week schools across from have been throwing open their doors once again to welcome pupils as part of plans to move a step closer to normality the government is opening up these educational facilities to gradual pace but many parents are torn about the idea of sending their children back to school into the classroom i am quite a severe asthmatic children have asthma as well. and so that has been very much a worry. we've seen just how does this virus chance to play out for people who are resistant. but i think the biggest factor for us was was also just stressed stressed that children will experience going back to school and being told

all the time don't touch this you're sitting to your clothes or saying no you can't use that pencil because someone else. has washed your hands again don't touch your face you know i think for us. we've been able to manage a lot of a lot of the stress writers are quite happy they know what's out there. they've been able to go about their daily lives and our dearly normal way it has rained this little all. for 8 weeks children have been home schooled or accessed where possible online lessons the advice has been to stay at home to socially distance when carrying out the central errands now that is shifting and francis easing controls and many people are feeling timid about returning to the

post covariate 19 wilt i didn't even walk down the block during confinement we're fortunate enough to have a garden and i don't think so i was able to go out in. get some air and occasionally get a bit of shopping right on my street so to then be told you're all the way or. that means everyone not. me. you know from one case to the other every one's going imagine. all the shops open up again and so there has been a sense of concern on our in that you know all of the russians are. in order to control the spread of the virus. it will be hard to continue. in level when everyone is moving about. parents aunts obliged to

send children back to school but even if all wanted to go back under the new rules that just wouldn't be possible right now there are limited spaces available with only 15 peoples in a class or 10 for nurseries and the priority is being given to children whose parents are essential workers schools will also look and feel very different with hand gel in place regular handwashing desks pulled apart children will also have to socially distance and teachers will be wearing masks in part of the fronts concern has led to some as they've been refusing for schools to be reopened in a letter to parents of a school and see just north of paris the mayor described the government's guidelines as being in forcible although i'm for the ramones of our economy i am certain that public health must remain our priority as the economy restarts and

people are expected to return back to work more and more parents may feel as if they are stuck between a rock and a hard place do they choose to send their children back to the classrooms where they may pick up the virus and bring it back home or stay home and potentially put their jobs on the line so that even ski otty paris. the french drug giant sun a fee which is busy working on a coronavirus vaccine is coming at the huge pressure of who will be 1st to get their hands on a possible cure while the company now says that they'll be no advance for any country earlier on it provoked outrage at home when saying the u.s. will get priority because it funded the early research the u.s. government has the right to the largest preorder because it's invested in taking the risk the u.s. which expects that if we've helped you men effector the doses at risk we expect to get the doses 1st i just remind is sound if he is chairman says weinberg that is

a profoundly french company he gave me all necessary assurance regarding the distribution of a future santa fe vaccine in france for us it would be unacceptable for there to be privileged access authentic crimes are based on financial reasons sufi's one of the biggest players in the race to find a covert 916 the company has a long relationship with the us bard a research organization and in december it promised son of fi more than 200 $1000000.00 for research so far it's given $30000000.00 for the vaccine program but the french government angry because it also sponsors the firm to the tune of tens of millions yes french citizens what they think. i. think it's just business like everywhere there are a lot of incoherent things going on i think we're not told everything it's like with masks we were supposed to get a huge package of masks and then the americans took it and i busted her regionally it's a french company then it doesn't matter who pays the money it's still french or at

least it should be for everyone. before we need to return the money that they give us and then it's 1st 1st to deal with all problems and then we think of the others it's not normal it's not good it's not possible so. i think it's a bit stupid because at this time we all need to help each other we don't know which pricing will work and which will be available 1st if you have the u.s. or france find the vaccine 1st that would be a good thing but it could also be that another state discovers the vaccine which decides to keep it for itself. but because it problematic for us i find it troubling want it because i don't think the us is the quandary that most urgently needs of their vaccine france also has a lot of secret people made i think the developing countries was huge populations like india and others which don't have enough doctors should be 1st even if they didn't finance the development of the vaccine especially since they don't have the

budget for it. on friday it was revealed the number of care home residents in the u.k. he died from corona virus was actually 50 percent higher than previously estimated and the new data reveals more than 12000 fatalities since the start of march previous estimates put the number at just over 8000 the new data is said to include those who died after being admitted to hospital the figures come after the prime minister was asked in parliament this week to account for unexplained deaths in the sector or johnson was put into pressure by the leader of the opposition. to the oas records the average number of deaths in care homes each month for the last 5 years the average for april has been just over $8000.00. this year the number of deaths in care homes for april was a staggering 26000 that's 3 times the average 18000 additional

deaths this april. using the government's figures only 8000 are recorded just covert deaths that leaves 10000 additional and unexplained care home. this april huge it to size in testing is going on a further 600000000 pounds i can announce today protection control in homes and yes it is absolutely true that the number of casualties has been too high but i can tell you house is right a lot of talk. last week and indeed this week the number of outbreaks is down and the number of fatalities in care homes is now world. scientists say that the virus is still having a huge impact and there's growing fears of a 2nd wave discuss the progress being made and the challenges still to be faced with might purge him from the independent care group. i think we are going to find sadly more deaths in due course because of the in some cases not everyone the past

when it has a coded related a cause of death on the death certificate so i think there will be more but i think at the minute we're still trying to fight the virus and deal with that battle i think later on i'd like to see a public inquiry into how we handle the matter in this country to do with deaths in care homes with hope and then it really but i think we've got to make sure we learn lessons and nothing should this happen again is repeated such as what we've been through in the last few weeks and months and a borstal to said that there's going to be hundreds of thousands of. pal's millions of pounds thrown in to try to improve the situation in care homes that'll take time to have any effect is enough being done right now is there enough testing is there enough protective equipment there for the staff what more could be done. well i think we've had trouble with p.p. and testing improvements are on their way but we're still waiting on both fronts really and i think in terms of the money yes money has been pretty but i just say in this country with over probably 2 decades social care has never been at the top

of the list and it's been underfunded we've had a 10000000000 pound sit ups are innately in power since 2010 and yes we've had some money put it but we're still not back to where we were funding wise since 2010 with many more people so one thing that positive that should come out of this virus is the government finally recognizes that so you get into the higher of the priority list and given the same attention as our n.h.s. is. did you ever get the feeling the sense during this you know crisis situation that elderly people struggle to look after themselves in care homes that they came down the very bottom of the list of priorities that people are focusing elsewhere and thinking will deal with that those elderly last. section older people generally been further down the list and they should have and i hope that 6 corrected the teacher but i don't think as many people would have died if we could have dealt with it differently. he said of course that this is unprecedented so don't blame

the government for everything but i hope that they will learn go in for in the future we need to do things differently but we are not going to release a lot done yet to we get some guidance to when it might be safe to do so my fear is that if we relax things too quickly we will get a 2nd spike so one looking to the gun to help us to know when would be a good thing i'm hoping with the better weather that's coming for the summer that we will be able to meet people perhaps outside relatives to to exchange. interest to the minute is a big worry and i hope that we can move on and get to a new one soon as possible. really is beef industry has found itself dragged into a spats between the u.s. and china over the origins of covert 19 later in the program we'll look at what's at stake. small the 90 suspected mafia members arrested across italy after a spike in criminal activity comes after convicted bulbs were temporarily released

from jail as part of a plan to stop the virus from spreading in prisons the story and more coming up after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development that only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. seem wrong. just don't call. me. yet to

shape out the attic and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back italian police this week arrested more than 90 sicilian mafia suspects around the country and what has been dubbed a mega rate they believe mobsters of ai the recent spike in crime rates and have been taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to increase their power it also comes after

a number of matthew abbas's were temporarily released from prison and this was part of a controversial plan to stop the spread of the virus in italian jails while the convicts are under supervision at home the justice minister has vowed to return them to jail or soon as possible some the very notion of mafia bosses being allowed out of prison is unacceptable. worse than just liberating the mafia the government have put them in house arrest back in the future where they have terrorized people for years. just. me it was in the government's decision the decision was based moon total memories circulated by the department of prison administration asking prison officials to list those over a certain age and with certain health conditions who might be at greater risk in case of corona virus infection the officials were then asked to send the list to the supervisory magistrates who in italy oversee the release of inmates from prison by issuing that memo the department made a mistake as it didn't mention an article in the saudi and penal code that

differentiates between common inmates and those in prison for serious crimes such as mafia activities and terrorism that article affords lawyers the opportunity to call for the suspension of special dispensations to prisoners with health conditions unfortunately this led to the release has some important matthew figures . among the senior members release but for the house arrest was franco. serving a life sentence for kidnapping the son of an informant one of italy's most notorious murders the boy in question was held hostage for 2 years before being strangled and dissolve the knesset. tensions are up to in the country's overcrowded prisons a march that is national prisoner rights advocate urged immediate action to prevent the spread of the virus into jails which included stopping family visits since then some 376 mafia members and drug dealers have been moved from jails to house arrest he said he and the chief and the. foundation which studies the mafia believes that

the move was a retreat in the fight against the mob. which was at war. with those who lost their loved ones in the fight against the mafia think this measure how would the victims children feel i wonder what my own daughters might have thought seeing those people secrete had i or someone from my unit been murdered by the mafia one of those nights we should always be very careful in finding the right balance between the needs of the state which would never appear to retreat in the fight against the mafia and the needs of the citizens who have probably lost someone to the mafia and who should never see porter. get out of prison it's unacceptable. ok here's a riddle for you what connects china u.s. sanctions and australian beef turns out it is calls for a probe into the origins of the coronavirus ilam open explains. u.s. pressure on china is rising senator graham a longtime opponent of beijing has put forward the coded 19 accountability act this

is a law that it casts would give donald trump the ability to put new sanctions on china i'm convinced that without cheney's communist party deception the virus would not be here in the united states china refuses to allow the international community to go into the war hunger louv to investigate they refused to allow investigators to study how this outbreak started this hard hidden piece of legislation will sanction china until they cooperated with investigators china immediately spoke up crying the bill may work with the bill introduced by several u.s. senators absolutely neglects fact they want to start the investigation with the presumption of guilt to shift their responsibility on china for the failure and incompetence in the fight against the epidemic this is not possible we express our resolute protest in my r.p. meetings i think sound fairness for all of the united states sometimes like a. paper tiger and then they just pretended to get high and

make track nice and scare the insects son off and then they don't meet here it shoots from china so i think this scene is very very obvious. now already in america there are all $80000.00 people die and in a future there will be more so this is a this is true these failed to protect people and they you want to shift as a risk with me so that's why they just don't want to make china to be the school books and i think it's the equal copyright australia seems to be akhil in the anti china chorus coming from the united states down under there are lots of calls for a probe into china so far the united states has only gotten warnings. of retribution from beijing but australia has already started to feel china's wrath

china has suspended beef imports from australia plus china is now threatening an 80 percent tariff on a struggling and barley imports both sides than the tensions are a factor in these dramatic trade moves you will have when say 3 chinese customs found that multiple batches of beef products exported to china by certain australian companies violated the inspection and quarantine agreed by chinese and australian authorities in order to protect the health and safety of chinese consumers china has decided to suspend taking import declarations for meat products from forest trail and companies. i think we have to be careful not to draw lines between these 2 things it's an end to dumping issue from the chinese perspective they certainly haven't raised this connected to any other is she's now big swivel disappointed that it was but there's no reason for me to think based on the way that they're approaching it that i could draw that conclusion the media has been quick to recall recent remarks from a chinese official i think in the long to if the mood is going from bad to worse

maybe ordinary people say why should we drink australian wine or eat australian beef in action or not china is australia's largest export market jobs and livelihoods are on the line australia is calling for trade talks as well as an investigation into the origins of the corona virus the media now accuses china of waging a trade war amid the pandemic now australian beef may simply not be up to chinese standards however many interpret this as china reminding the world that it does not take accusations and sanctions lightly and it's capable of striking back if china when that didn't stop the. conflict i think to watch who you were is worse 'd so that's a lie a china keep to the street to australia it's a different austrian here trying early to 'd use to. it's 'd very

disappointing for all chinese people also. to promote unity states courts so that's why now we just have to do something to response. get a bunch of out of state appreciate you staying with us here on anti international don't forget to check out our different social media channels for more coverage and plenty of the stories available if you had to our website r.t. dot com. or whatever.
