our community infection medical 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 therefore the impact on the global scale doesn't seems to be that high but this is certainly something that needs to be watched me closely especially different governments are planning to open the schools and if that would be the condition of your children are very likely to develop. like a syndrome and then having chances to get infected with a clone a modest might add to it that this is certainly something we need to be watching very carefully. children in france a bit dusting down the uniforms this week because infant and primary school started to reopen following the lockdown however some parents fear the company's push for

normality could end up bringing the corona virus right into their homes explains. this week schools across from have been throwing open their doors once again to welcome peoples 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 long. and so that has been very much a worry. 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 that children will experience going back to school and being told always right don't touch that
2:07 pm
you're sitting too close or saying no you can't use that pencil because someone else is using it has washed your hands again don't touch your face you know i think for us. we've been able to 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 ole. 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 frances easing controls and many people are feeling timid about returning to the post covert 19 wilt i didn't even walk down the block during confinement
2:08 pm
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 better for shopping right on my street so sit back and 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 put into place 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
2:09 pm
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 hand washing desks pulled apart children will also have to socially distance and teachers will be wearing masks in parts of france concern has led to some as they've been refusing for schools to be reopened in a letter to parents of a school in my hand 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'm certain the 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
2:10 pm
they are stuck between a rock and a hard place do they choose to send their choice. and 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 r.t. paris the french drug giant sun a fee which is busy working on a coronavirus vaccine is coming under huge pressure over who will be 1st to get hands on a cure for the company now says that there were no advance for any country earlier it had provoked outrage at home when saying the u.s. would have 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 helped you manufacture the doses at risk we expect to get the doses 1st i've just reminded some of these chairman. that it's a profoundly french company he gave me all necessary assurance regarding the
2:11 pm
distribution of a future santa fe vaccine in france. it would be unacceptable for there to be a privilege to exist within your crimes are based on financial reasons santa fe is one of the biggest players in the race to find a vaccine the company has a long relationship with the u.s. bard a research organization which in december a promise promised santa fe more than $200000000.00 for research so far is given $30000000.00 for the vaccine program for the french government angry because it also sponsors the 1st 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 a. originally it's a french company but 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
2:12 pm
give us and then it's 1st 1st would deal with all problems and then we think of the others it's not normal it's not good it's not possible. i think it's a bit stupid because at this time we all need to help each other we don't know which vaccine will work and which will be available 1st if you have the u.s. or friends find the vaccine 1st that would be a good thing but it could also be there's another state discovers the vaccine which decides to keep it for itself. because it problematic as i find it a problem 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 maybe think they're developing countries with huge populations like india and others which don't have another doctor is should be fairest even if they didn't finance the development of the vaccine especially since they don't have the budget for 8. on friday it was revealed the number of
2:13 pm
u.k. care home residents who died from corona virus was actually 50 percent higher than previously estimated you data reveals more than 12000 fatalities since the start of march previous estimates of put the number of just over 8000 new data 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 a stance that was put under pressure on the leader of the opposition. the ins 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 deaths
2:14 pm
this april huge exercise in testing is going on a further 600000000 pounds i can announce today for infection control in care homes and yes it is absolutely true that the number of casualties has been too high but i can tell you houses right a little bit of writing room last week and indeed this week the number of outbreaks is down and the number of fatalities in care homes is now well the. scientists said the virus is still having a huge impact and there's growing fears of a 2nd wave i discuss progress being made and the challenges still to be faced with mike jim from the independent care group i think we are going to find sadly more deaths in due course because that in some cases not everyone the past when it has or had related a cause of death on the death certificate so i think it will be more but i think at the minute we're still trying to fight the virus and deal with that battle i think
2:15 pm
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 where the whole band i mean 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 i boris johnson 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 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 put it this is a bit of 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 empowered since 2010 and yes we've had
2:16 pm
some money put in but we're still not back to where we were funding wise is 2010 with many more older 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 teacher 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
2:17 pm
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 will be a good thing i'm hoping with the better weather this coming for the summer that we will be able to meet people perhaps outside relatives to to exchange. interest but at the minute it's a big worry and i hope that we can move on and get to a new one soon as possible. through the comas trail is bay friend street has found itself dragged into a spats in the u.s. and china over the origins of covert 19. more than 90 slated mafia arrested across italy after a spike in criminal activity comes after convicted mobsters were temporarily released from jail as part of a plan to stop the virus spreading in prisons all the other more coming up after the break.
2:18 pm
we go to work so straight home. seemed wrong. we're all just don't. get to shape our disdain become educated and in gains from an equal betrayal.
2:19 pm
when something find themselves worlds apart. she's to look for common ground. welcome back italian police this week arrested more than 1000 cillian murphy of suspects across the country most being dubbed a mega raid they believe the mobsters about the recent spike in crime rates in taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to increase their power it comes after a number of mafia bosses also were temporary released from prison and this was part of a controversial plan to stop the spread of the corona virus in italian jails on the
2:20 pm
convicts or under supervision at the moment at home the justice minister has vowed to return them to prison as soon as possible to some though the very notion of matthew abbas is being let out of jail is unacceptable worse than just liberating the mafia the government have put them in house arrest back in the future where they have to arrest people for years. just. me it was in the government's decision the decision was based moon total memory circulated by the department the 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 a list to the supervisory magistrates who were 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 matthew activities and terrorism that article affords lawyers the opportunity to
2:21 pm
call for the suspension of special dispensations to prisoners with health conditions unfortunately this led to the release there's some important matthew figures. among the senior matthew members released but put under house arrest was franco cattell though serving a life sentence for kidnapping the son of an informant in one of what was italy's most notorious murders the boy was held hostage for 2 years before being strangled and dissolved in acid tensions wrapped in the country's overcrowded prisons in march italy's national prisoner rights advocate urged immediate action to stop the spread of the virus into jails which included stopping family visits france then some 376 mafia members and drug dealers moved from jails to house arrest. chief and they are now to foundation the studies the mafia believes the move was a retreat in the fight against the mob. would you look at what. would those who
2:22 pm
lost their loved ones in the fight against the mafia think this measure how would the victim's children feel i wonder what my own daughters might have thought seeing those people set free how do i or someone from my unit be 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 appeared 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 porton mafioso 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's the call for a probe into the origins of coronavirus elam 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
2:23 pm
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 hung allowed 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 you 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 pretend to hide and make track scare insets son of the don't meet here it
2:24 pm
shoots from china so i think this scene is very very obvious yeah now already in america there are all 80000 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 is a risk with me so that's why they just don't want to make china to be the school 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
2:25 pm
percent tariff on a struggling and barley imports both sides than the tensions are a factor in these dramatic trade moves it will have when say the 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 grow alliance 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
2:26 pm
beef and 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. didn't stop the. conflict i think what we have become worse 'd and worse so that's a lie a china keep to the street to australia it's a different austrian here it's heartening early to use to very it's 'd very disappointing for all chinese people also. to

you can never forget they are going now auschwitz was really like to be in hell because you would never believe that one. can do to as a copy of a course for 30 years and nothing be. very bad at all seems so a lot offered by the side to make it right when i get out on the farm saw you know what its like ma sauntered next day or so he can listen and hopefully he can bless her experience. the f.d.a. is primary role is and regulation of what the label says is and there is actually in the us the f.d.a. is not regulating quality production sourcing any of those things they're regulating that what you say is on the label is actually on the label the most shocking thing about the pet food industry that has remained since basically i started doing this work is the f.d.a. compliance policies i still cannot understand how an industry is
2:30 pm
provided by a federal tax supported organization loopholes to avoid federal law if you go to the f.d.a. website and just type in compliance policies and then scroll down the page to hand feed and and there's one after another they allow contamination by pesticides contamination by industrial chemicals contamination bad natural toxins contamination filth micro biological contamination over tolerance for permitted drug residues. it's incredible. for the law says that can be but the compliance policy says don't worry go ahead we won't enforce. for all practical purposes there's nobody looking out for the average dog into thousands.
