bombs dropped decades ago is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy in laos built to the people need in that little land on. the u.k. government admits it made a choice to leave care homes tested for a coronavirus so it could focus solely on the n.h.s. but the admissions. relatives who lost loved ones. she wasn't worthy of having a tax. residence in. the past why we need. to why this is going on. while in france prosecutors open probes into the deaths of some current home residents relatives lay the blame squarely at the door of who is running the facility. also ahead ukraine will investigate new evidence that u.s.

presidential hopeful joe biden wants pressure to countries just the system legal case involving his saying it to quote. one minutes past 6. 7 pm in melbourne midday here in the russian capital this thursday may 21st welcome to r.t. international. our top story abandoned in their moment of need is the charge facing the u.k. government over the care home sector it currently accounts for more than a 3rd of the country's entire coronavirus death toll i'm very family say their loved ones were left to delhi due to a lack of testing and care for the most vulnerable dawn hopkins lost her mother in law here's her story. it started with

a phone call from the staff to say that she developed a temperature about a high temperature so we went to concerned at the time because she had had infections before and then and then it was really when the doctor and i asked the doctor the question did she think they bad and she said. possibly late more than like clay we asked him. they said they weren't they weren't given test and. and i also asked the cheap a if she could be tested. they said at that time they weren't test stand. residents in care homes you know there's always going to pay that question. you know was it definitely co-chaired and she passed away from i am 99.9 percent sure it was. a state almost night she wasn't where they have having

a task. and if she didn't have the test it would read and make the decision to ask her to get in touch so more of her leaven followers and people are now believed to have died in care home since the beginning of a pandemic in the u.k. the justice minister sparked outrage now after admitting officials made a choice not to test kirk holmes focusing instead wholly on the n.h.s. potentially lead to hundreds of vulnerable people going on tested as a result. we needed to make a choice about testing and we did decide to focus upon the n.h.s. and i think that was absolutely essential in the just the secretary did later say that about the high number of deaths in care homes was a huge tragedy on a matter of great regret yours dawn hopkins again speaking about her mother in law . she was 92 she had a man share books she had

a good quality ally and it really wasn't her time to down i thought i think the government the care homes back me down. they've not i don't think we've given them clear guidance on how to manage and to keep the residence sank in this pandemic that woman should have have prioritized their care homes as well because that some of that is more now no like to my children we need to look into why so many residents in care homes have passed away due to their we need some answers rarely as to why this is going on out. even with the n.h.s. us the central focus the health system itself has struggled a lock of personal protective equipment has been a particular problem for medical staff some were 'd even handed p.p.a.

past its expiring date earlier i spoke to markham kendrick a doctor who was on the receiving end of some of our old equipment. bijective come on time to the you know not only were patients not being tested they were also being destroyed deliberately positive 'd indicator homes it's absolutely ridiculous thing is that yes i mean i mean you find that you know. you look at the box and it has a sticker on it so you only 2022 and then if you learn all which was made it was somebody else underneath it so there's 2017 it's an unprecedented health crisis never seen in our lifetimes do you accept that authorities are doing you know they're attempting to at least do all they can in extraordinary circumstances or not you know we all understand that this thing hit really hard and then certainly the whole world went to p.p. evil is just not being honest with your stuff you're already you're saying all the

event that happened and then used 100 units that it was announced 'd 10 years probably from the previous wife lou what are you doing you know just and stuff nobody would notice and then you'll all it's all right anyway well what do you say it was all right anyway why did you treat his incompetent 5 year olds you can see that my anger is really still really ruined. ok let's stay with the theme but move to france which sais there's been a fall in the number of care home residents needing hospital treatment for covert 19 however authorities warn that does not mean the virus has stopped circulating in the sector it comes as the country's health care workers continue to demand greater support saying their own lives are at stake. medics gathered in protest start the count but also hospitals on wednesday since the start of the pun demick health workers nationwide have been sounding the alarm

over what they say has been a chronic lack of safety equipment on funding which also know a legal challenge to any potential negligence in the care sector with prosecutors opening a case into deaths in residential homes trying to do penske picks up the story. we were told from the very beginning the elderly were among the most vulnerable and in the last few weeks we started to get a real sense of just exactly what that meant in front around 40 percent of deaths attributed to 19 have come from one sector. and national scandal is how it's been described by some others have had to know and they're now taking action. families contacted me they decided that the deaths of their relatives raised a number of questions obviously this is due to the fact that a code of silence exists within these institutions they revealed the absence or

insufficient application of safety rules as well as the absence of or late testing in some cases we're even talking about concealing information about the actual state of their relatives in these care homes the complaints are not directed against anyone in particular the goal is to hold those in charge of the nursing homes accountable and also quite possibly the regional health authorities the area of responsibility here is wide in relation to the cases to which we filed complaints there was not just some failure in the system in these cases we're talking about criminal liability the paris prosecutor's office has an owie print several problem in every investigations into mine so what they did to us. personal danger danger of the lives of. this is one of the cat homes in question it was here at the bel-air that mine b. do it live since the end of 2014 back in march of this year during

a video call her granddaughter 1st became aware of problems at the home. responsible from a mother and now the resident had no protection they were meant to be confined to the rooms but were kept in a corner door i live near says she flagged her concerns to the management but was assured that everything was fine however her grandmother's condition continued to deteriorate. because he just can't show she was in the turner's teach of called 900 he said if she read only it she could have been saved following the death of her grandmother livia formed an association it's called collective 9471 a symbolic name which represents the number of deaths recorded in the french care home system on may 5th it's now representing other families who also lost loved ones do you to what they believe was

a failure to protect them during the pandemic the korean group which runs this home has rejected those accusations no information has been hidden there's criticism which is directed against korean but which is in reality the personnel. day and night particularly painful particularly unbearable but this is not the only cat home that is being looked into elsewhere in the investigations being. with more and move families criticizing what they say were problems with hygiene and a lack of protective measures in. if the. cases do you end up being caught on the homes of culpable companies could face a hefty fine or an individual may even end up in prison for up to 5 years but no way that will bring back those who lost their lives. r.t.

to send me a paris. the u.s. remains the country hit hardest by the global cold but 99 brick the governor of the worst affected area new york sage early results of the boat being test suggest one in 5 city residents have been infected the new york health department also released data showing low income neighborhoods of a disproportionately higher death rate than wealthier districts artie's investigative project redfish immersed itself in the city's poorest areas to see how things are playing that it discovered people having to create so-called help communities due to a lack of official support. the government refuses to provide the resources like food like universal health care universal housing waiting for government agencies to address things this no longer viable we have to take matters into our own hands

. they say that when the country gets a cold the bronx gets the flu now when the country gets cold 19 the people of the bronx die the bronx considered one of the poorest areas in the city of new york and the united states not counting native american reservations the bronx has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the country highest rates of asthma these are diseases that put people more at risk of getting covered 19 people were put in a position where we have to come in and provide out of our own pockets the things that people need and we don't have those resources like the government has. one thing the coronavirus endemic has made a really clear is that in capitalism all that matters is profit thank you so i think it's also really clear when you look at the stimulus package and it's primarily giving me a huge slush fund to jangle rationed. $43000.00 u.s.

millionaires receive an average of $1600000.00 in stimulus while most people i know haven't gotten a climate change any of the apply a month or 2 ago to running our mutual aid projects in so many places are doing literally life and death were for me the most visible way that the government has responded has to tell us to stop working but still participate in capital still participate and paying bills a still participate and liability need a system in place where the people are 1st before profits or people are always in crisis on the capitalism this pandemic right now gives us a window of opportunity to politicize people run and drive solutions forward. system that we have is no longer applicable we need to create something new these mutual aid networks are doing exactly that.

still ahead as we have just been seeing as the u.s. continues its popular coronavirus several states are still pushing ahead with their reopening. means later. join me every. time i'm sure. i'm sure. patrons are consuming anything the solution according to the policy makers would be to make them. like. you know helium or oxygen in and improve the situation they're not taking into consideration of their dead. they

can't just like the money velocity and. just. recently the money pretty much. is like. you know when the should. do. you say. a quarter of an hour into the program welcome back ukraine saying it will open a probe into leaks phone calls allegedly made between former president petro poroshenko and u.s. presidential hopeful joe biden the current ukrainian leader vladimir is alinsky said the exchange could potentially be perceived as treason promotion of mind in

the. yes i heard about poroshenko and biden i think this is not the last time ukrainians will hear about this issue the prosecutor's office and law enforcement agencies should respond i know that the prosecutor general of ukraine yesterday registered a criminal proceeding at the request of a deputy they will investigate and i know that this can be considered as high treason but if all the calls were 1st published by ukrainian m p the un verified exchange seems to trace back to a legal case involving then prosecutor victor shock and who was looking into corruption involving the gas company. at the time joe biden saw him on its payroll prompting allegations that former us v.p. tried to pressure the polish government into dropping the case and sucking chokin all allegedly in exchange for a $1000000000.00 loan with more here's murat guess the. this is

a filthy dirty story international corruption extortion abuse of power maybe maybe not see there's 2 explanations the 1st one is that ukraine's prosecutor general was a bad man who needed to go this fight no proof of him actually doing bad things and him investigating that company that jew biden's son worked that had nothing to do with anything to me. i am. 90. dollars. for it were.

a man of my word. now the general. way that we're ready to order is already that $1000000000.00 loan guarantee. the 2nd explanation is much. vice president joe biden gets his son a cushy job $83000.00 a month a barista a ukrainian gas company doing no one knows what this is a fact next the ukrainian state prosecutor apparently launches a corruption probe into bris money and daddy biden abuses his powers of office and allegedly blackmails ukraine with a $1000000000.00 load and gets the guy potentially investigating his son. and leaving the 6 hours that the prosecutors not fired you're not getting the money there's also something we had about an elected representative of the ukrainian people then president poroshenko demeaning and luring himself to these

levels ever since our evidence regarding our. view over to our own i. 9 it's a great pleasure. goosebumps now i don't know what's with us. or even folding the bidens dumond's doing as he's told following his countryman despite no evidence of him doing anything wrong because a foreigner told him to. yesterday. the general prosecutor's. office fire fire he never carried an arson charity without hearing aid from wish. lists are a. huge greedy. greedy. state. of pieces of

news. there's no way to verify this leaked recording no way to tell of if and how it's being edited can you even imagine another country pulling this off china say blackmailing another country into florida it's soon to head prosecutor who just happened to be investigating the company that the chinese leaders son worked at just an example and then insisting it had nothing to do with that it's an awful excuse the conflict of interest the loon is davening but you know what's an even worse defense democrats do even after a russian intelligence asset doctored that recording it was still a nothing borger yes it was russian hackers it's a pro russian operation the recordings were leaked by ukraine's putin the russians just want to make biden look bad and even

r c is it or that apparently russian collusion again. the events have backers of the 2016 presidential election when russian operatives hacked some released e-mails from hillary clinton in what u.s. intelligence agencies later concluded was a moscow directed operation designed to boost from russia indeed you don't need russia to make you look stupid biden making ukraine far the guy that was investigating his son was stupid enough. now while countries around the world continue to battle with the huge issues caused by coronavirus many are longing for a post virus future update on the spite growing cases several u.s. states are plowing ahead with their reopening programs artie's john honey reports in one of the nation's most populous regions plans 'd for a new normal after the lockdown. safe smart step by step that's the name of the

state of florida's reopening plan with phase one kicking off monday though many cities and counties statewide had already started reopening earlier this month the fact that florida was among several states to start reopening so early certainly fuel the national debate about how soon was too soon particularly as the number of coated 1000 cases in florida continue to grow currently the state is reporting more than 47000 positive cases as more than 700000 people so far have been task that i was one of the residents who had to cope with 1000 antibodies test recently at this urgent care center in miami beach turned out negative miami dade county has had the highest number of covert 1000 cases statewide so there's been a downward trajectory of overall cases so on monday phase one of miami dade the new normal reopening plan went into effect but restaurants barbershops salons and parks reopening with restrictions the city of miami started its phase one reopening stand up miami and wednesday with some parks and businesses allowed to reopen but mayor

francisco swore a says restaurants hotels and beaches in the city would be part of the next reopening phase in another week and that will be can. hinges upon people practicing the social distancing guidelines and wearing masks let me be clear this is not the beginning of the end but it is the end of the beginning there are 2 paths a responsible path that will take us to face to the responsible path which will bring us back to where we started the pandemic has hit miami a city reliant on tourism hard with laws like this one and all the big hotels shut down i shot this exclusive video recently from my paddle board on biscayne bay right off the mandarin oriental hotel in brickell key which is usually packed this time of year it's outdoor event space hosting weddings and business functions instead it was eerily quiet and desolate as florida moves into its reopening phases there are questions about whether or not the 1000 figures are complete the so-called architect of florida's kovac 1000 tracking web page said she was fired after going public with her concerns about florida department of house commitment

to accessibility and transparency state officials say she was insubordinate but the miami herald and other media outlets sued the state over its refusal recently to release data about covert 1000 cases and deaths in nursing homes and other long term care facilities still florida is moving forward with reopening and after 2 months of being locked down residents here are going out to enjoy the warm sun perhaps one of the biggest questions now though will the covert 1000 disease cast a dark and deadly shadow over the sunshine state in the weeks and months to come for our t.v. john hardy. or just like in florida there's growing frustration among countries which depend on tourism the big question being who is to reopen for business with the pun to make still ravaging the world countries like italy spain greece one busy beaches again for the summer season but the time might be against them. to reports

. missing travel and in need of a break from this crisis well with some thought is now reopening i found myself thinking about a summit getaway so let's try a test run and see what post corona travel joyce awaits us. the airport meg we're excited already it is the fust time you've been farther than 20 minutes from your house and what do you see queues socially distance of course but so they are everywhere queues for the new electronic check excuse of travel stopping every 20 seconds to sanitize their hands queues for temperature checks queues of people bored in groups of 10 and if you'll fly emirates out of dubai you might need to book an extra week off because that during coronavirus testing at some check kids bit of a buzz kill. well that you survived he and this checks in queues so now you're on board and the cabin crew appeared to be extras for me

black america scene and full house my gear is not talking about something to be worried about well i don't look to the stewards for offices also nobody no pillows no blankets those were not shew ease of pre-code that travel a new not true though no middle c. noble passive aggressive elbow legal leg room bottles that all rest is yours. so you survived you incredibly expensive half empty flight now you are at the hotel and your patient waiting your time to be summoned to check it it is called o.t. from here on and more often than not you'll be biting off some of the lockdown counter reason the stats drop the waiting for an appropriately so she distance lift also gyms will likely still be closed but let's be honest it's not disappointing is . so you head out to your cost holiday adventure to the beach safety funds that you put on. 3 p.'s.

now there is something familiar about this speech oh yes and now that q so you wait you wait the finally the code did not adjust i'm not joking us as you read and you find yourself in some side if i see what is classmates you now have to weave between tool plexiglas sheets to get to your old designated lunges or yell bush we've tried to come up with a solution so that people can go to the beach the idea is to use a modular wall has a separating wall for gyms and hairdressing salon between prions corrido as well as for swimming pools and water parks and office in our you forgot to book you'll beat slot so no time if you today all he could see at 20 bracelets counting the number

of beats coas also if you're hungry there is a strict dress code. and all this just sounds too much for you then that is another option the young industry has used this global pandemic to advertise itself as the safest summer option which would obviously have been a full proof plan if i hadn't been for the fact the majority of the wild population couldn't afford a week on the mediterranean waves even before the global recession was announced read the room and the room is sad to say that some men sunbathing and cycles in the middle of a sweaty city is probably the closest we'll be getting to us on a day. some 2020. the future seen by sound you've never seen fashion until you've seen the label dumb days of congo their motto living in poverty doesn't mean you can't look like
