a doctor who tested positive for his recovery. this is very confusing because it destroys our perception about the recipient she virus's. pm here in moscow watching r.t. international thanks for joining us in the program. the police have arrested a man who took hostages in a threatening to blow the building up in central moscow brings us the latest details. well it all started early afternoon on saturday when a man rushed into a bank carrying a backpack and he said that he had a bomb inside of it and threatened to detonate it thankfully at that time one of the bank employees was able to alert the police of the situation and she was also actually able to evacuate herself and others through a back entrance leaving only one person in the building with the suspect and that
3:02 pm
person inside the building was actually live streaming at the instant at certain points let's take a quick look at a quick clip from what he was streaming. down and. you know. it was a. long time to you when you were just credible. now from that short clip alone you can tell that this was a rather bizarre situation the suspect went on to say things like i've come to understand that death is the single most amazing gift that life can give you a short quick death and then he went on to also to say that moments like this need to be captured and all this will forever be on you tube and of course he was right there because once it's on the internet it's always on the internet it's not really clear what his intentions were what he wanted there have been reports that he demanded a large sum of money and that he possibly was having some financial issues but
3:03 pm
there have also been reports saying that he said he didn't want any money he just wanted the truth so it's a very strange situation it all unfolded very quickly and then flee a large police operation quickly went into fact they stormed the building and were able to arrest the suspect and then left just the 1 hostage 7 who we actually had a chance to talk to and he told us about the experience which will. be likened to the mike to pay my bills this man came just after me 1st we thought it was a joke but then he started to threaten us he barricaded the door i tried to start a conversation with him i found out they have some problems with his head who seem to be after a breakup and couldn't coordinate his actions what he wants from the situation because when a man has a goal he says strictly what he wants and what others should do there were some limitations like if i go somewhere he would push the button but i could move around freely i talked with him and tried to calm him down the police took over quickly my friend message me that it would start any moment so i tried to distract him when
3:04 pm
police came from the back of. new york state sent thousands of recovering code of victims to nursing homes reportedly greatly contributing to the death toll what this and other mistakes parts of the media continue to heap praise on governor cuomo and i'm open it takes up a story. pandemic has made new york state governor andrew cuomo into a shining star some are calling it his finest moment say on behalf of just just me but my family but new yorkers beget them that the world thank you for your leadership can i say that i am a cuomo sexual everyone in march and we're almost sexual in that way and many americans experience moments of being at least andrew curious if not fully cuomo sexual he seems to be the latest media darling with t.v. and social networks fawning over him is emotional interviews that he's younger brother have been a big hit i love you i'm proud of what you do and i know you're working hard for
3:05 pm
your state but no matter how hard you're working as always time to call mom she wants to hear from you not only you love you have always been proud of you but i've never been prouder of you than i am right now he's got a 70 percent approval rating and 78 percent of new yorkers say they trust him when it comes to making decisions about opening up but amid the media celebrations some of his seriously bad decisions are being overlooked is now being widely blamed for imposing lockdown restrictions far too late now when he was called out on it he didn't take responsibility but instead he threw the medical community under the bus where was the whole international health community where was the whole national host of experts the w.h.o. d.n.i. age to see these 2 you go out for that soup of agencies where was everyone where were you where was the intelligence community. governors don't do loop in them mix
3:06 pm
and he's also cut funding to medical facilities the 1st wave of cuts aimed just before the pandemic and another wave of cuts of $400000000.00 was announced in april people are literally dying in the halls of our public hospitals because they simply don't have the capacity a direct result of years of cutting hospital beds and funding we're getting. field hospitals in parks sports stadiums and convention centers to deal with the structural shortfall in our public health system that we are standing here today being asked to cut it even further but he's worst decision came in march when ordered coded 19 patients to recover inside of nursing all by may 11th it was already too late to revise the plan more than 5800 people have died from coated 19 in new york nursing homes now at c.n.n. isn't highlighting this not damaging the resume of their new favorite star celebrity instead they're focusing on laughter is it true that this was this
3:07 pm
swab that the nurse was actually using are new and that at 1st it went into your nose and disappeared so that in scale this was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double barrel shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face to making a mural out of masks that were donated to new york state at certain dreams some eyebrows it's actually not a good look at all that they are literally being put on display rather than used in the spirit in which they were given it's an insult to the people who gave them so they could be used to prevent the spread of the 19 good thing they're protecting that wall you hung them on instead of actually letting people use them we hate you because you scream that everyone in new york city was going to die from a lack of mosques then use mohsin tin from good houses americans across the country for an os installation so why is someone being raised to superstar status while
3:08 pm
blundering their way through a pandemic or his fans will tell you this is because while mo appears much more responsible better job than us president donald trump it seems that is thousands of americans are dying the country has learned to lower its standards when it comes to who is worth idealizing they will mop and artsy new york. an image of a nurse wearing a waist bag as a protective going went viral highlighting the state's lack of protective equipment we talked to the nurse who posted the picture that i told us told us that hospital management annoyed her concerns she says she still doesn't feel safe i was offended when. people in charge of the whole sinai system team and said that it wasn't true when they said to the media it wasn't true that we did have because we did it you know naturally in our day they were right there working with us they were i mean
3:09 pm
they're struggling what those are going to come out came on my c.v. and said that he was told by the c.e.o. of the hospital that it wasn't true about the c.e.o. wasn't even in new york let alone in our hospitals my husband in particular i didn't and i know other hospitals did it and i know for a fact that he forward said that hundreds and thousands of people have come forward and say their hospital didn't have nobody. now nobody was prepared the state was prepared all city was prepared the country was not prepared nobody was prepared because it all politics were as it was it was even harder because we should have been the people who are our most protected we should have been the people that wear protective earth i still don't feel like we're protected what they call enough of it so exchanging between patients people who are stay still getting sick and getting the virus. still to come here on the international we hear from my son whose mother is in a nursing home and you know it is facing a lawsuit over on
3:10 pm
a virus that the. police in new york have been tasked with enforcing social distancing and a study has suggested that n.y.p.d. arrests could be racially biased auti america's trinity chivers has the details. today new york city mayor bill de blasio facing backlash over the way the n.y.p.d. enforces social distancing rules after this comes after several alarming video surfaced on social media in recent weeks showing violent encounters with police and alleged social distancing by leaders specifically in black and brown communities back i don't like. this video capturing the moment an officer waves a taser and repeatedly strikes a bystander during a social distancing sting the. police watchdogs accusing officers of using social distancing during the pandemic as an excuse to harass people of color along the lines of stop and frisk others taking it
3:11 pm
a step further criticizing what they call police officers double standards going after minorities during this pandemic but allowing crowds of mainly white parco wares to gather in large groups well you know. the founder of foundation for red dress told r.t. the cops attitude toward saying whites in central park who are massless and crowded together are greeted with a smile and hand in masks but blacks and latinos who are alleged violators are greeted with balled up fists to the face a firm foot up the butt and tight handcuffs violence prevention groups across new york city now stepping in the groups which are mostly young black and hispanic men the same demographic that has either been given summonses or arrested for offenses related to the coronavirus pandemic are known as credible messengers rather than rely solely on police they to encourage others to follow a social distancing rule the mayor announcing today that he is also enlisting some help so we will work with 18 year violence organizations across 21 neighborhoods of
3:12 pm
the city and use the cross that they have built in communities the important standing there you have the reach they have to educate people about the coronavirus to help people do social distancing to make sure folks have face coverings that are using them now the n.y.p.d. tells me that between my. that apartment has made a 120. many of which the response to complaints and others of 90 percent of the law or hispanic according to paul in new york city the charges are. milder forms of covert 19 may not protect you from reinfection as previously thought that's the finding by new spanish study which revealed almost half of victims of extremely low levels of neutralizing antibodies we spoke to a doctor who's apparently caught the virus a 2nd time. got infected with corona virus in the middle of march when i recovered and then after some 40 days the simpsons returned it seems like i had the virus
3:13 pm
a 2nd time if i really was reinfected it's the worst case scenario almost all the experts believe it's unlikely that if the virus lay dormant before becoming active again then apparently my antibodies were not very effective this is also unlikely maybe the disease just last longer than we think and the recurrence is actually possible this is very confusing because it destroys our perception about other responders she viruses you get it you go through the illness and then the virus disappears and now you have the same infection weeks later it's not easy to explain to people around the world including in the us south korea and china have also reportedly tested positive after recovery so far the world health organization can't say whether recovery guarantees immunity. there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from cold 19 and have antibodies are
3:14 pm
protected from a 2nd infection. while many disagree with the study's claim they had of south korea's disease control clinical committee believes instances of people contracting the virus a 2nd time could be simply down to floor testing so called work a bias against says the facts must be established in order to find an effective vaccine to do i need or not generate antibodies you generate them against a virus you've got viruses always mutate and if there are so many mutations that the virus changes that much and the antibodies you've got may become useless we know a lot but there are many things we don't know one of those things is disease patterns are they the same all the time or do they come and go we don't know if we develop long term immunity and we don't know that for whether those who have come through the disease are protected and we don't know if we can create an effective vaccine the problem is that we haven't made vaccines against all viruses we've been looking
3:15 pm
for a vaccine against aids for 30 years and we still haven't found one i hope we can find a vaccine against this virus but before then we can only hope for the best. it was hearty live from moscow still to come the impact of covert on the world's wise the humanitarian crisis we hear from a leading medical in yemen about how the country faces a new health catastrophe. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
3:16 pm
when almost seems wrong. just don't. get to shape our. become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the program turkey's being accused of violating the un embargo and sending arms and military personnel to libya the libyan national army one of the 2 separate

a tripoli capital while the enemy is based in top work in the east of the country militant groups including ourselves are also active there in january ankara intensified its military support to the d.n.a. libyan academic and freelance journalist dr moustapha turi told us the u.n. arms embargo has been violated repeatedly. i think the consequences of lifting the international arms embargo of libya by countries like turkey. are not quite serious seriously taken by the fire eaters and find the international community by which i mean the you are in the security council. those sanctions and such an embargo is not serious about making deflator is be what they do and that's why there is no implementation mechanism that convinces countries that. the embargo like turkey to stop doing so or there would be still consequences.
3:19 pm
have been there since 2011 when the 1st among them was involved in the country in 2011. we have not seen any country or entity being punished for that when the turkey of course. is a splitting the situation into ground by its increased important support of the government the. national. jeanne a headed by the mississippi rising to believe in this hatteras forces or what is known as the national army or the name. us care homes became a breeding ground for the pandemic however a fresh government report says american facilities had problems even before the virus the document by the u.s. government accountability office revealed the us nursing homes have been plagued with infection control shortcomings but also says most of them had deficiencies as
3:20 pm
far back as 20302017 the report is important because one of the 1st outbreaks in the u.s. occurred at a nursing home in washington state scott morrow whose mother was covert positive and in one of the hardest hit care homes in illinois told us of his experience we're told there were. cases of coronavirus. in the in the nursing home. or in the beginning of april by the i think 2nd friday in april they had a couple cases and then when transferred them out and they were testing everybody we were only testing patients from symptoms. everything was fine everything's under control 2nd friday they said that they were going to start testing everyone they would have to ask to go from crossing their mountain positive so then we get. an automated update. it's done by a robot very impersonal and at that point. i think 77 people in our.
