i realize that having a u.s. president in laos would have once been unimagined. 6 decades ago this country fell into civil war your neighbors and foreign powers including the united states intervened here at the time the u.s. government did not acknowledge america's role it was a secret war and for years the american people did not know even now many americans are not fully aware of this chapter in our history and it's important that we remember today. over 90 years 9641973 the united states dropped more than 2000000 tons of bombs here in laos war inflicts a terrible toll especially on innocent men women children. today i stand with you and acknowledging the suffering and sacrifices on all sides of that conflict i also know that there are remnants of war continue to shatter lives here in laos so today
11:46 am
11:47 am
11:48 am
by my heart and ok i'm the guy me and i'm not i'm with you about am and am and invite me but it's out on tap in the n b a imagine and now men and women i think no matter when they're equal to one man and the last man they haven't made up by the how mammon of of him happen often enough in local hot you now i'm unhappy and they didn't come in and accompany me are you happy don't saw me even am i have to go who are who are but beyond that and then when they don't you do. you mean and they have been our guide down how might that have been when it definitely adds up ok. so far there hasn't been an outbreak running and batting and. as a full moon tonight. a man gets those arms and
11:49 am
our ticket man the man. who funds him from now on that front of us and around this morning and i'm not so common that every man with the dew on the canals who. president obama just made history by being the 1st sitting u.s. president to visit laos obama has so far refused to issue a formal apology for the secret u.s. bombing campaign in laos during its war on vietnam the u.s. secretly dropped $270000000.00 bombs on laos in part to cut off north vietnamese supply routes again margaret this plan $90000000.00 or so to help clean up and detonated bombs still in the country what are the details this is $90000000.00 over 3 years to clean up what's called unexploded ordinance these are they look like little balls little kids pick them up and often become victims of these bombs that
11:50 am
were dropped nearly 40 years ago in a war that this country was never technically a part of up to $80000000.00 of these failed to detonate and just one percent of them have been cleared obama's $90000000.00 for bomb clearance in laos it's not enough we bombed laos so much it is officially the most heavily bombed country per capita in all of human history the $19000000.00 just at 1st sounds like a lot numbers that everybody talks about that you brought up that are accurate as far as we know that we also know that that is the low estimate of the large numbers of airplanes that were sent to do bombing runs in vietnam for example came back over lost to bases in thailand and on their way back would randomly drop their loads and we have no records wants to wherever those lows that were dropped so we don't actually know how much was dropped in the 1st place we know it's more than the numbers that we talk about experts say the president's visit shows that the u.s. is trying to make friends with countries near china to help balance out that nation's
11:51 am
growing power in the region because of the problems and because of the lack of clean up because of the lack of recognition it continues to kill people and trouble this very undeveloped country there are fields that can't be plowed there is land that can't be developed there are children who are walking there. and you weren't even alive during the vietnam war who are missing arms and legs and limbs when we are able to come here and show respect for their culture recognize. our history. and then point towards a future in which we work together we will actually have more influence we'll be able to promote our ideals more effectively that's part of what we've been able to accomplish i think over the last 78 years open up places that previously were closed and engage people in ways that will create.
11:54 am
the internet you keep in mind when. i went to. my last my and i don't want to meet me at night i'm not moaning. i was happy that the now are limited i'm a little more left behind behind the welcome i would. imagine when i'm in the middle my legs while playing i was on a low density have a lot of. time to. see if i want to be behind the one who has to buy. the violin top among all how i was.

12:00 pm
this is our to u.k. we're live from central london welcome to our viewers from around the world we're currently waiting for the government's daily coronavirus press briefing coming live from downing street shortly but 1st our headlines this hour. the health secretary defends the government's approach to the coronavirus crisis in care homes claiming a majority of them haven't had another break. public transport is rammed topless police are deployed to deal with workers returning to the office to get reaction on easing the meltdown from an infectious disease expert. the british government is not ruling out taking action against councils who refused to reopen schools on the 1st of june with liverpool employed people say they won't be sending children back
12:01 pm
i'll be joined by a representative from the campaign for state education. now we can cross live to downing street good afternoon and welcome to today's downing street press conference on pleased to be joined by professor jonathan van tam deputy chief medical officer and i'll start with the daily update on the latest data on coronavirus 2000000 682716 test the current a virus have now been carried out in the u.k. and that includes $100678.00 tests carried out yesterday 246406 people have tested positive and that's an increase of 2684 cases since yesterday. 1408 people are currently in hospital with coronavirus which is down 13 percent from this time last week. and i'm very sad to report that of those who have tested positive for 19 across all
12:02 pm
settings 34796 have now died that's an increase of 160 deaths on yesterday and there's a saying we offer our condolences to the friends and family of every individual who's passed away during this coronavirus pound pandemic. this is a challenging time and as we chart the right course over the weeks and months ahead our overriding priority remains to save lives also at the same time preserving livelihoods and allowing people to return over time and as and when it's safe to something resembling a more normal way of living. so on the 11th of may we set out a road map to provide the information the advice and the reassurance to businesses to public services to other organizations and to employees and citizens up and down the country. and i want to thank everyone who is making the adjustments and engaging with us in government to forge a path ahead in
12:03 pm
a sure footed and sustainable way. now of course we recognize that people have concerns or have questions and we want to work together with them and with everyone involved to provide the necessary confidence and reassurance in the next steps that we're poised to make that approach is summarized in the slides which if we could now have them up on the screen please. if you want rob the giving the government's daily coronavirus press briefing earlier the health secretary met hankel defended the british government's approach to care homes during the coronavirus crisis that's after he was accused of failing to meet with bosses in the lead up to the lockdown which critics say could've cost lives or do you crazy sallie has all the latest now for as he said the health secretary's out of tough days. absolutely not hancock being held to account for what many of his critics say has been a lax response to the situation particularly in care homes and accusations that mr
12:04 pm
hancock is focused mainly on the hospitals in other areas of the n.h.s. but has absolute good luck to 'd not even give any priority to the situation in social care homes where there have been thousands if not tens of thousands of people sadly losing their lives after testing positive for coated 98 and today we saw the shadow health secretary john ashleigh taking the house or street to toss on this very issue. now last week he said he'd put a protective ring around care homes from february but yesterday a care home provider in the sunday times wrote i quote elderly people want to partake and i quote the government were asleep up the real at the wheel isn't the reality that there was no early lockdown of cat homes with it there was no testing of people transferred from hospital to cattle and until mid april making sure that
12:05 pm
we have the protection that ring of protection around paris is important of course the majority of counties have not had an outbreak a tour and we should we should thank those running cat homes for the incredible hard work and the infection control that they put in place and there was no large scale and removal of people from hospital into homes towards the start of this crisis. i was and cokes are so be an excuse of ignoring care home leaders and not holding a single meeting with them however the health secretary has said that his government has been taking the well the government have been taking social care very seriously and are conducting tests in care homes despite the accusation that of course people who were once in a hospital were released into care homes without being tested and that's what contributed massively to the spread of the disease there now elsewhere in the government updating their criteria all their list of symptoms will coronavirus to
12:06 pm
include those who have lost their sense of smell a sense of taste this is called an osmeña and is now especially an indicator that somebody has had or does have coded 19 so for that reason the government vice people with those symptoms at 2 self isolate for a week or even longer if they continue to show symptoms or if they have a high temperature is thank you very much for that us former n.h.s. trust chairman roy lilley he spoke to me earlier about the crisis even if it's the product of profound mismanagement on the government's part. i think it was a misjudgment that the carriage could code because the care homes do care most of them are not nursing homes they don't have a nursing component they can't do burial nursing their record short for personal protective equipment there was no testing regime available to all them and now and
12:07 pm
again was a government failure in my view so the whole thing was misjudged right from the start and was till now trying to recover misjudgment and also mishandling because it looks pretty bleak if met hancock did fail to engage with bosses despite the warnings well you know what i saw that this morning that press report this morning i was just go up smack frankly i mean the 1st thing you do in things like this and it's been my been in and around government in the n.h.s. for years the 1st thing that ministers do is call it the most appropriate people in the atacama round table conflict now you can't do that now in person but you can certainly do what we're doing here on the t.v. on r.t. right now we're using skype perfectly adequate to have a conversation they should have had a crisis conversation with the care homes drish them sourly said what do you need how can we help you to make this safe water all the components of this and to find that it was left to a junior minister and i mean i have note criticism of the young woman who is that
12:08 pm
union minister but i mean she was only elected in 2000 fish stage she has very little experience and very little experience frankly of managing anything so i think it was a disaster from the start i also spoke with wesh welsh council leader imran dole who is mother has tested positive for corona virus in a care home hit by an outbreak. to be a veteran of another story really because. of the massively brilliant that's a point i made it only reports to newspapers and to the media generally then terms you can well cared for and looked after it's a rather small home in terms of the size and quantity but quality wise are excellent and they've been keeping it under lock and key safely and up not a lot of visitors and all the rest of it. but then all the sudden they were hit with it because somebody came in from hospital who they are there to ensure that
12:09 pm
they didn't have the virus that they were given i'm sure i'm spent and they did how did the virus so and so we've got it not wait unfortunately that only. within 2 days but the virus was in and they've gone through that and so far everything everybody's coming through it sort of unscathed do you say do you say the cat has been absolutely brilliant how they coped since the virus entered the home how is the cabin affected from from what you gather. well i have a conservation and that is that is the manager asked and i've been having a conversation you know as a center as a you know it over there in there but also as a council leader and blazing on you know so you know what what what what's best adored and these owned it immediately really once once was there was any danger of it up meaning it was that it was owned into red and green and kept apart and then people kept the room and segregated in order to get over the period where they
12:10 pm
fought it out and fought it you know with a ghost story and made it worth but the other one to that that is that they've all been tested no stuff on residence but unfortunately most i was told at the weekend that my mother has tested positive so so she has caught it again no and it will be treating her again for that although she is not showing any any huge symptoms without ted that your mother's been tested what twice and then found to be positive with kovac she had the eldest twice we know she was tested the 1st time. it was just a single a test and she was she was not positive on that word but this weekend they were tested as a care home and in that general test she came back positive. meanwhile there are fears that public transport could be overloaded as workers in england continue to return to their jobs transport police have been deployed to train stations to help
12:11 pm
control overcrowding or strong some as encourage members of the public to get to work by king or cycling but the number of people boarding public transport is what determines point 25 percent proposed plans include one way systems and trains fewer seats and hand sanitizer points a public health consultant professor keith neil told me earlier that it's all about managing the risks in different areas in different ways. i think the issue is that there's guidance at work at home if you can still stands in its place the other issue is that it isn't just a blanket return to work regardless and number of people who work in say building sites outside are clearly a much lower risk of acquiring anything in the open air because we know that is a much lower risk most places workplaces had now 8 weeks to consider how to manage the coded 19 risk within a specific environment and we've had people working in various places and anybody
12:12 pm
who's gone shopping would have noticed the changes put in place by various shops and he sees measures that employees have been called upon to sort out for themselves there are probably thousands if not millions of specific workplaces across the country and it's actually impossible for the government to telling each one with its own specific new and says exactly what to do what about traveling to work these social distancing measures that were sure to break down if if trains eventually get back to new capacity well if most people can work at home or working at home then there's not the capacity requirement for large numbers of people to be commuting into central london if you come to places like the east midlands we haven't we've only got one bit tram lines and we were lying on buses and that can be made to be more frequent not everywhere has achieved chub or metro network places that do have again they've had 8 weeks to think about how they go to do this
12:13 pm
and if we don't know exactly how many people are going to be needing to come into work but the reports have you just highlighted in the news that it's much lower than they thought. let's take a look at how the outbreak has been affecting the home nations n.h.s. england has reported 122 fatalities since yesterday the scottish 1st minister has confirmed 2 more deaths in scotland while highlighting lower levels of weekend reporting where also. 4 and northern and 6 the scottish 1st minister has announced that tests are now available for anyone in scotland over 5 should they develop symptoms whilst government failed over 3750000 pounds of mental health funding for schools to support children under 11 and the northern ireland policing board has launched a human rights review into the way police implemented new powers journey opri comes out of the force was criticised for preventing residents travelling long distances to take exercise and let's now turn to the global numbers well as you can see
12:14 pm
according to johns hopkins university which collates global data. over 4700000 people have been infected and of those have died over 315000 have lost their lives and more than 1700000 have now recovered well with some european countries gradually lifting lockdowns on the start of the tourist season the world health organization warns of a 2nd wave may be inevitable this winter when more russia has registered less than $9000.00 new cases bringing levels down to those seen on may the 1st and the leading spanish newspaper has revealed that of the country's 28000 coronavirus deaths 17 and a half 1000 took place in care homes. still to come. the government threatens councils of action if they stop children going back to school at the beginning of june with liverpool already declaring it won't be reopening classrooms i'll be talking to a representative from the campaign for state education should. and then piece them
12:15 pm
on the government be legally forced to delete data gathered from its contact tracing out as soon as the pandemic is a. well it's finally how big a rush to the public is one of the architects of the hoax and all of this is in the media are being exposed when did obama and biden know and when did they know it will anyone be held accountable. the world is driven by shaped by one person those with.
12:16 pm
12:17 pm
the shadow home secretary has dropped the government's immigration bill hypocritical for attempting to keep low skilled workers while simultaneously celebrating those same workers on thursday evenings claim for care as i believe the government's plan to rush through this immigration legislation is an insult to our incredible n.h.s. staff and care workers is frankly rank hypocrisy from the government towards e.u. nationals over 180000 in england and wales alone who are currently working in our n.h.s. and in the care sector for ministers to stand and clap for them on a thursday night and then tell them that they are not welcome in the u.k. on a monday the home secretary pretty patel is hoping to pass her australian style points based system which makes it more difficult for lower skilled workers to stay in the u.k. critics say many of those workers include n.h.s.
12:18 pm
employees and they risk their lives in the battle against coronavirus nearly $200000.00 e.u. nationals currently work for the n.h.s. in england and wales the bill is expected to pass in the commons due to the governs 80 strong majority. a reopening for english schools is just around the corner on june the 1st but some authorities claim they won't be following the u.k. government's ticked at and the culture secretary hasn't ruled out taking action to force them well i hope that we can all continue to work together as one nation. i think if we can get children back to school and it's safe to do so and we should really try to do so. reception year one and year 6 are due to head back to school by the start of june in england while schools in wales northern ireland scotland may keep their doors open until. i should say the doors shut till september liverpool and hartley pull have gone against the government's reopening time line
12:19 pm
and will remain closed in june that's as newcastle and gateshead councils refuse to adopt the stay alert slogan siding with the other home nations on the 2 of war and this summer joined by michael pike from the campaign for state education thanks very much indeed michael for being with us now surely we need to get children back in the classroom these are really vital years in the education being lost. well yes obviously we do need to get children back in the classroom but there's no point getting children back in the trial if their teachers are frightened don't have confidence in the system they work teach very well there's also evidence that fewer than 50 percent of parents are willing to send the children back to school at the present time i think this is an issue of confidence now the teaching profession nor parents have confidence in the way that this government is humble the pandemic and therefore it's up to the government really to try to create confidence and then i think you'll find everything in your. statistics so far suggests that children are less vulnerable to the virus. that's not that's not the point is it.
12:20 pm
that the research on this is is is is is is really is the conflict in contributions all of the scientific research during this under me and that the conflict in contributions then the any you dick asian union. which i'm not a man but has got forward 5 tests which they'd like to see met if they want to feel confident that members can go back to school safely they want to see a reduced teen amount of infection and we don't know what the right of infection is in this country because the government's testing regime is still only just getting off the ground they want to see a national approach to social distancing in schools they want to see appropriate p.p. in schools and government record on the just law they want to see regular and frequent testing of children and stuff well i just commented on the government's positive
12:21 pm
approach to just much of which has been put out to private firms deloitte and has not been done marvelously well so far they want to see a whole school protocol what do you do if somebody in your school. just positive for corona virus that they want to government for quite clear set of instructions as to how the school should react to that and they want to see vulnerable stuff it with underlying conditions pieces that are protected and not made to go back into a very risky situation if the government can't meet those conditions the government needs to explain why instead of making silly moralistic speeches what about the fact though that the government could force schools to go back. well it can't if the teachers go on strike and the parents refuse to send them but schools should be operating the same to them not because some will be going back and some word and it's not fair to children live upon an article for example if they're excluded from reopening they could really fall behind them but presumably the council 1st of all
12:22 pm
this thing about falling behind is not. if you think of country right filaments are far better educational outcomes than the fact that our staff will school until age 7 by the turn the regular low wage passed english children so the idea that you know time is vital and if your child isn't reading greek by the edge of or can't tell you what affronted adverbial is by the age of 6 it's a disaster for it's complete nonsense just briefly you mention finland what about that those schools though in europe where they are opening so why do you think there is this difference here in the u.k. well i think one of the differences between no one has been put forward of course is denmark. and it's interesting into the send government removed all the international comparisons rubbish briefings the day after the u.k. top the death rate in europe. is now urging us to make an international comparison in this case they don't mark but if we do that what we found is 2 things the 1st
12:23 pm
thing is the danish government enjoys enormous and widespread public confidence the british government doesn't and secondly denmark because of its the reason it enjoys or is competence is. that had fewer than $600.00 deaths compared with well over $30000.00 in the u.k. and that's believed to be an underestimate by many many others so there isn't much confidence in the government's ability and therefore parents and teachers think that if they go back to scope they're running a very serious risk of catching the illness and it may be not very serious for children but we don't know whether children's but you know. michael very good of you to join us thank you for. to hear what you have to say thank you for joining us live here on r.t. came by you're very welcome. meanwhile the confusion caused by different regions doing things differently in relation to the virus is very plain in some parts of the u.k. not least for those on the borders between 2 regimes as one town is finding out.
12:24 pm
12:25 pm
i'm on furlough at the moment i live in england at the minute i work for a company that's in wales so i can't go to work as it's still short anyway. the. health secretary has announced a 21000 people have now been hard to carry out contact tracing in the country to support the n.h.s. contact tracing up matt hancock said the system was nearing completion despite concerns of privacy. the work of these $21000.00 people will be supported by the n.h.s. coded 19 which were piloting on the isle of wight at the moment and will then roll out across the rest of the country taken together this means that we now have the
12:26 pm
elements we need to roll out our national test and trace service the testing capacity the tracing capability and the technology building that system is incredibly important but so too are the basics but hancock's comments come as a group of m.p.'s and peers drafted a bill requiring the government to delete all the data it gathers on the up chair of the joint committee on human rights harriet harman says new government powers required ripostes legislation to protect the public we cannot rely on the current failed mishmash of protections that were never envisaged for this situation we need new legislation government collection of our movements and physical contacts would have been unconscionable before but now it is happening parliament completed emergency legislation for new powers it can do it now for new protections ukase out trials on the other why it should have been available by mid may according to health sector map bangkok it allows those with
12:27 pm
a positive test or showing symptoms of the virus to alert those nearby who they may have come in contact with but issues with privacy particularly regarding centralized data govern have led to the delay in h s x the health services innovation arm said the data will either be deleted or fully anonymous so it can be used for further research for the british government rejected the decentralized version built by apple and google is used by many other european countries already shot dubinsky has more. as countries are rushing to develop these apps the big tech companies like google and apple are already mapping out the road ahead they're laying out the conditions for building the tools which you countries are due to rollout from next month while huge faith is being placed in contact tracing apps there is little solid evidence that they will be effective some are calling on governments to find some real alternatives. governments reason sure lost the grizzle not protect equipment and help get tests back since
12:28 pm
future condemning that's what not data collection. there is also the question to be honest about how much control these big tech companies will have all the forcing governments hands given the they already control the smartphone market and different digital tools from competing companies even be able to interact with each other. this is a major blind spot from a technical perspective. one another in germany plans had been afoot to develop an app of course several countries with data being centrally stewart it later backed down and is now pursuing proposals promoted by google and apple and china. essentially solution was decided upon last week and a solution this ensures data is only stored in the device and not in
12:29 pm
a central location we convince the people trusted. that d. centralized approach has also been taken by ireland italy and others too while here in france the government has decided to shun big tech and work on its own though any app it develops may not even fully function with apple new google phones which is potentially rather problematic and there's concern about the privacy elements while the virus tracing apps are expected to keep sensitive and private data safe as we have seen time and time again not always possible that may be one of the reasons why the e.u. commissioner for justice gave this warning the apps should be only used during the crisis and the day activity at the latest when the pandemic is sort of but the decisions governments take now at a time when there is unprecedented political economic and public health pressure
12:30 pm
are the ones that will resonate for years perhaps even decades to come. we won't know if iris tracing apps are useful unless significant chunks of the population download and use them but by then it may already be too late mass surveillance may become normalized all in the name of staying healthy. auti paris of a buck more news and. have
