police arrest them. threatening to blow it up. being responsible for shortcomings in the response shift in the. community. and i think. that he was told by. people that were. affected by. developed immunity. after his recovery.

this is very confusing because it destroys our perception about viruses. live from moscow thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. welcome to the program. the police have arrested a man who took hostages in a bank and threaten to blow up the building in central moscow took place earlier today. 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

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. you know. from time to you when you were just going to bomb. 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 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 one hostage who we actually had a chance to talk to and he told us about the experience. talking 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 he seemed to be off to 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 was 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

police came from the back of. new york state the same thousands of recovered covert victims the nursing homes reportedly greatly contributing to the toll despite this and other mistakes parts of the media continue to heap praise on governor cuomo haleb open 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 me but my family but new yorkers to get 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 with his 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

your state but no matter how hard you're working as always time to call mom she wants to hear from you not only your 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 to w.h.o. d.n.i. age the c.d.c. you know alphabet soup of agencies where was everyone where were you where was the intelligence community. governors don't do loop in them mix 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 do what a structural shortfall in our public health system that we are standing here today being asked to cut even further but he's worst decision came in march when he 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 the

swab that the nurse was actually using our 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 make you a mural out of masks that were donated to new york state 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 ma sent in from good houses americans across the country for an os installation so why is someone being raised to superstar status while

blundering their way through a pandemic well 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 it will mop and artsy new york. an image of a nurse wearing a waist bag as a protective girl went viral hot in the states and lack of protective equipment we talked to the nurse who posted the picture that i told us told us the hospital management denied 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 and they said to the media it wasn't true that we did have because we did it they don't actually now the day they were there working with us they were i mean they're struggling with this i'm going to call it cuomo came on my t.v.

and said that he was told by the c.e.o. of the hospital that it wasn't true. the c.e.o. wasn't even in new york let alone in our hospitals my husband in particular i didn't have 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 last and he was prepared the country was not prepared nobody was prepared because they don't politics were as it was it was even harder because we should have been their people 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 to be so exchange in between patients people who are stand still getting sick and getting the virus. still we hear from a son who's model isn't a nursing home in illinois the face is also

a coronavirus negative. new york police have been tossed for them forcing social distancing a study that has suggested that n.y.p.d. arrests could be racially biased auntie americans stranded travelers as more. today new york city mayor bill de blasio facing backlash over the way the n.y.p.d. enforces social distancing rules. 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. and 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 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 i 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 fist 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 social distancing rules the mayor announcing today that he is also enlisting some help so we will work with 18 year violence organizations across 21 neighborhoods of the city. and use the

trust that they have built in communities the important standing they have the reach they have to educate people about the coronavirus to help people do social distancing that make sure folks have coverings and using them now the n.y.p.d. tells me that between march 16th and made that apartment has made a 120. many of which the response to complaints and those arrests 90 percent of the law has been reporting from home in new york city the charges are. milder forms of covert 19 may not protect you from reinfection as previously thought the finding why a new spanish study was real that almost half of victims of extremely low levels of neutralizing antibodies we spoke to a doctor who was apparently caught the virus a 2nd time. got infected with corona virus in the middle of march i recovered and then after some 40 days the simpsons returned but it seems like i had the virus

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 or maybe the disease just last longer than we think and a 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 the us korea and china have also reportedly tested positive after recovery so far the world health organization can't say for certain whether recovery guarantees immunity there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from cope with and have antibodies are protected from a 2nd infection. or many disagree with the study's claim the head of south korea's

disease control clinical committee believes instances of people contracting the virus a 2nd time could be simply double floor testing so. again says the facts must be established in order to fire and effect a vaccine to do when it or not generate antibodies you generate them against the virus you've got the virus is always mutate and if there are so many mutations that the virus changes that much in 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 who they're 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 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 but. i'm just going to what are the international the impact of covert on the world's worst humanitarian crisis we hear from the leading medic in yemen about how the country faces a whole new health to testify. thanks guys or financial survival. when customers go by you reduce the price. well reducing our. that's undercutting what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you know in the face of a pandemic virus that spread so rapidly and so quickly. it really think in the short run about changing people's underlying medical needs one hopes that we can learn something from the. healthier lifestyles to create a. healthy planet. welcome back to the program he's being accused of violating the u.n. sending arms and military personnel to libya the libyan national army one of 2 separate governments trying to control the country has shown video apparently prove

young girls supplying the royal government of national court. released photos from what it says is a turkish made vehicle that shows the vehicle journey from the production facility to rival forces in libya it also apparently shows turkish officers training g.n.a.t. fighters as well as transportation of mercenaries from syria a spokesperson for the international community must intervene. and we hold the united nations the african union the new and the arab league will take into account data that we have presented today and will take action while at the press conference came on the same day turkey warned against any attacks on us interests in libya by early for half 2 hours libyan national army reiterate that its promise to deliver serious repercussions in a intends to escalate the conflict in libya where the country is split between the u.n. and backed g.n.a.t. in the capital tripoli while the l.a. is based in tobruk in the east of the country but it in groups including eisel also

active there in january and intensified its military support to the d.n.a. libyan economic and freelance journalist dr moustapha tori told us the u.n. arms embargo has been violated it repeatedly. i think the consequences of violating the international arms embargo of libya by countries like turkey. are not quite serious seriously taken by the fire later years and find the international community by which i mean the you are in the security council which impose those sanctions and such an embargo is not serious about making deflator is big for what they do and that's why there is no implementation mechanism that convinces countries that why did the embargo like turkey to stop doing so or they would freeze still consequences the relation had been there since 2011 when

the 1st among them was involved in the country in 2011 and we have not seen any country or entity being punished for why they think that when turkey of course. is a school it the situation in the ground by its increased enforcement support of the government the. national accord g.n.a.s. headed by necessity rushing to believe this hatters forces or what is known as libyan national army and the name. us care homes became a breeding ground for the code of covert 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 that u.s. nursing homes have been plagued with infection control shortcomings but also says

most of them had deficiencies as far back as 20132017 the report is crucial because one of the 1st outbreaks in the united states occurred at a nursing home in washington state scott morrow whose mother is covered positive and one of the hardest hit care homes in illinois told us of his experience. we're told there was no. cases of corona virus. in the in the nursing home this was. in the beginning of april by the i think 2nd friday in april they had a couple cases and they went to transfer them out and they were testing everybody we're only testing patients if they're showing symptoms they sure did everything was fine everything's under control 2nd friday they said that they were going to start testing everyone they would have to ask we got a phone call saying there are multiple causes so then we get. an automated update they said you have always wanted me to call it's done by a robot very impersonal and at that point they had i think 77 people out

of her like 100 patients test positive for the virus and then you got nurses you know who are in the mass right who are wearing gloves they're handling a patient that does have copd. of course it's going to spread its most like wildfire. bria of geneva nursing home was already facing its 2nd lawsuits the facilities been accused of not implementing precautions to prevent the spread of the disease the lawsuits were filed off to at least 22 residents that died from complications were sitting outside my mom's window and a white van pulls up. and they take one of the gurneys on wheels out why don't you black bag. i want to go in and i came out and they were soaked in the black bag. it was obvious obviously

a patient they had called her family they said you got a computer right now. and they said that she will when and i called with i don't know if they get the right medical care they need. if i had to guess i would say no to get an e-mail today families. 1st name is helen she passed away april 26th the family is just one of a lawsuit against their saying that they say they have they didn't even know that their mom got tested didn't know their mom had the virus you know their mom was you know we're going to see a lot more lawsuits maybe not just with greer maybe with a lot of other places. again i think it's a very unfortunate i think this is the this is a very sad. and leading international medical charity says war torn yemen is all of urge of a covert blowing team catastrophe doctors without borders is appealing for urgent u.n. action adding that yemeni victims of the outbreak may not even make it to hospital

which messina now a treatment center is just the tip of the eyes brink people are kind to us too late to see and we know that many more people are not coming at all they just done in the united nations and dynasties need to do more endued urgently. to. position the. troops to. try to see what's going to treat them. but. we will not. speak for 60 years. just to data shows. systems. or there are also significant discrepancies in the reporting of casualties with the charity recording $68.00 better it's facility the government claims that the u.s. the hoff there. oh yeah one has of course been embroiled in

a conflict since 2014 more than 100000 people are thought of been killed in the rubble who sees a fighting a government which gets military help from an international coalition led by neighboring saudi arabia the war has led to the world's worst humanitarian crisis leaving millions displaced or starving going update from the head of doctors without borders in yemen. it's a very specific situation i think in human. health system as been really deeply affected by the war already so it was specifically weak population has been made there weaker by these 5 years so. we have seen clearly how we have seen being gay there is malaria and there's not much places that can treat them there is a lack of protection equipment even father his workers or they support.

we see this from hopefully the international community know that you have more tests. for the moment there is not enough space that that right and then their capacity is still quite low and we can see that if a few nations of our most 30000000. people really need men and we have in place i mean it's. thousands of people took to their cause in madrid to avoid looked on with strictures and protest the government's handling of the pandemic. protesters demanded the prime minister resign calling the lockdown a violation of citizens rights demonstrations organized. place in other spanish cities state of emergency had been in place since march restrictions eased recently

spain is the 4th hardest hit country from covert across the world. and the covert pandemic has spread not just worldwide even to some of the most restricted territories on earth multiple cases have been now been reported everywhere from nuclear sites to spaceports. there was so many for those. children who got sick to lose it so i mean local people should have more responsibility they should not give up on themselves and others let's not forget you have to be patient and everything will get back to

normal like it was. then. all. my needs mean everything there was just simply changed we used to spend more time at home then measures were relaxed and we started to go outside before we used to stay at home and start a life because that makes us to get to the bench and it seems to me that on the one hand clinton has proved to be somehow beneficial we started to appreciate more of

the things we really are disregarded for instance communicating with relatives with friends. and several it's even though i felt that i've got to go out with option were times you had just a few moments time short i said. in the same time tomorrow evening the latest global news outlets.
