returning me remarked we are skilled to. be a tally enmasse here is caught stealing half a 1000000 euros in social welfare benefits sparking outrage across the country. a very warm welcome to you it's monday the 25th of may and this is r.t. international live from moscow. the u.k. has registered its lowest daily covert $900.00 death increase since march with prime minister barak johnson saying it's now time to start further easing the country's lockdown. i can confirm that i do believe we will be in a position to move to step to oprah. as part of step 2 we set up plans for a phased reopening of schools last week the government allowed people across england

to go out and visit friends and relatives the move was criticized by some as primitive your anger is also mounting as there is a lack of help for families who have lost loved ones to the pandemic we heard from a woman whose father succumbs to covert 90 catherine to propose ses he was turned away and his hour of need a mum had a cold what more more earlier that week and at that point they said he had moderate symptoms of covert 9. and to stay at home and continue to isolate. them all drink plenty of fluids. and then a couple of days after that my mum was still concerned she called out. and was given the same up flights. and it was only when you know he resists clearly very very young while there and i'm going to came in talking to hospital later that day going to renal failure and we were asked if the connection to withdraw life.

and he died. this photo was taken 3 weeks before catherine's father died she says there is no psychological support for families within with europe's worst infection rate the u.k. has registered over 36000 deaths catherine for deprived her again believes it was the government's delay in imposing a nationwide lockdown that led to the soaring number of cases. lumen just i feel don't respect the people that have died and the families behind if different decisions have been made in march. my dad would have been able to fly to the u.k. cause we'd have been a lockdown and he would still safely be in a french village where there were no cases. flown in and had been tested in the air or all the people all the people on flight had been tested. and maybe it would have been identified sooner you might of call it

a lockdown it happened earlier bill that the government are not giving in to educate people about the arrests and so because of that people are now taking risks . and we're not being asked to wear masks so it's no emotional support available to families grieving family been affected by the virus. and ventilators have become a prime no sesa t. during this pandemic doctors try to avoid immediately placing covert patients with risperidone problems on lung ventilators but when it comes to severe cases these machines are critical for survival and time course of the host of artes epidemic series talk to those who have experienced life on a ventilator and another turning to normality. whether it's real navy dream fix or the wish it seems to. be able to offer for a former sort of bully much of course if your review of the movie as much as was

a shot in bali made the film robot school reform issue of dollars a month or for. its to be rid of minority rule the much more authority. for the future for the shroom flying missions to the way you should be guilty of you sure sure. you look at the very hour of the where very simple and nearly came with that freedom the universe the i'm going to use to susan go. along for the. last look at those the fearful straws here for the awful truth i still

feel about the addition of those phones to the phone if you should feeling i'm struck this month in the new google is of the interest but from what they actually are i still cover some off the field not so physically which of course if i think that most of it's a sinister community to rescind them out of my search of their hunting hide to look to get a shot i want to know how i would look good if i did what the society. is to that is that the home crowd would see winning but it isn't that they have lost the action with eagerness to even put up money for their. record with some symptoms because you gave me a good suitable young review article. that was also the usual. yes you do you suppose also if you want to be on the internet it will continue to devote our

true self up to the simplest move and slow down. the what if we. didn't hear the fear of it we'll just yet if they need it's the glue that if that's what the. sky. is to me this is the music i can be used to deliver for sure this 1st birthday girl be sure you more than ever because again. you still. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready pursuits that are still some of them are on the social. world record thank you kolker good news for the woman that the brits inquisitiveness world are so nosy we just on the floor was already a monster because of the votes. to do it before any. other hot. poker for the future which more that means i just read

a study where you know what you mean the problem is true but it is better for them to do that in 2 or 3 or fewer if it just. gets there we're going to. see that. as front starts to lift it's quarantined churches and mosques of opens the doors to worship is for the 1st time in 2 months and with the weather getting warm up people across france have flocked outside to enjoy the sun this week is expected to be critical in determining whether now is really the right time to be lifting the lockdown so to do by the skin paris looks at how life has changed since the measures what. france is expected to get its 1st sense this week as to whether the de confinement measures are working its now 2 weeks since the lockdown started. here across the country hospital admissions have generally been falling day on day

and we know that there are fewer patients now in intensive care than they were 2 weeks ago but as the weather is getting better particularly given that we've just had a weekend following a bank holiday him front there were fears that they could be a lot of people out in the streets in places like here next to the sen where they could be food the transmission of the disease people were being urged to stay at home or if they do come out to socially distance to stay away from other people to respect those barriers distances now parks here in paris are still closed and as you can see here along this sent the respect saying in places this fencing to try and discourage people from coming to sit in the nice grassy areas here and now i was out at the weekend and while the crowds of people lived it wasn't as packed as many people feared and they were more patrols taking place by the police to to make

sure that people were socially distancing but is there a fear of that 2nd wave here in front this is what people told me. just in scene is respected more or less but i think that there are a lot of people who think the bar is one to. personally i'm not afraid that i can see that people still respect in the distance and stuff so. i'm pretty confident i don't think anything is going to happen we have completely overcome that it's difficult to say but in fact i think this was done by some higher power if the 2nd wave is supposed to happen it will happen and unfortunately we can't do anything about it. but i work at the hospital i'm used to wearing masks and i think that everybody should wear them i don't want to believe in the 2nd wave because i don't want to experience this life again and i think people should be careful well calm

here in paris at least but that wasn't the case elsewhere and from whence in the cold mean of sun this hour which is just west of the city over the nor into on the west coast of france they were protests were people unhappy with the restrictions that are still in place following the start of the confinement the police came out and they used tear gas. thank. you thank you. there was announcements from the government of more easing over struction the council of state it told the government that it was not allowed to restrict religious services and now that means often many many weeks religious services have

started back up again in france also a sense that we'll get this week as to what will happen for the summer holidays with the french being told by one minister that that is likely to be a holiday that will be only here in france on top of that we had new measures announced by the french government in regards to quarantines for those people coming to the country from the united kingdom that is being put in place as a reciprocal measure given that the u.k. announcement u.k. government and something similar just last week and finally in another attempt to try and boost france's aiding a colony which has seen huge g.d.p. predictions plunge this year. one minister has announced that there will be a 3000000000 euro. freeze on social security payments the some businesses who were affected by the 90 pandemic that they have to make social

security payments france this week waiting to find out now whether those post lockdown measures are working whether it can extend the easing of the restrictions even further show that even ski r.t. paris. italian mafia mobsters have been busted cashing in on social benefits intended for the country's poorest police say around 100 mafia members in southern italy were falsely claiming the government's citizenship wage well this is a basic income issue to low wage households and job seekers the revelation has sparked a furious response across the country. are filthy rich mobsters keep their money like their president where there is the possibility of buying restaurants hotels pizzerias everything that is on sale after and during this crisis i should ignore this is on the verge of fiscal impunity.

since rickly pay no taxes. just little they're going to from the ministry of justice. to be in jail. or the citizenship wages 600 euros a month 101 mobsters were involved in the fraud with half a 1000000 euros received illegally in order to get the payments they used false identities now all the money has been confiscated by the italian or dorothy's these days the mafia operates through clans mostly across the south in sicily alone there are estimated to be 94 clans they use extortion drug trafficking and illegal gambling to amass wealth their activity can ruin people's lives. had a sharp business in sicily and looking back i can see the mafia ruined their lives mobsters who'd come to us and ask for money the so-called racket practically

attacks the mafia is ever present i can recall they would come 2 or 3 of them demanding money from me and my wife every month they would threaten us they would say if you don't pay up will rob you we will disrupt you and i honestly having little children i decided with my wife to pay them and then perhaps we would be left alone but that didn't happen they kept coming and it was a torture for us we worked and worked for $1.00 for nothing our hard won money went to them between the taxes and the crisis when the evening i turned to my wife and told her we're closing because i can't stand them anymore. they are going to see i grow arch to rub against the mafia i believe this is the most important message together we can do it we can defeat the mobsters we know how much the mafia can take advantage of the economic needs of the people i believe this crisis is the mafia opportunities to grow in take advantage of all this. in the south western region have come become more clan is trying to we gain control they reported to be

competing against civil society efforts to support those in desperate need by giving out loans and food paul sills and the mafia campaigners say it makes a mockery of the official government's. it can only get much in the point is that it's not that the mafia needs this money this $450.00 euros a month but rather as an example of how the mafia can make a mockery of the state of the mathy has an impressive economic capacity and they can wait wait for was for small business owners to run into financial trouble so they turn to them for assistance for loans italian suffer greatly we have to consider that the money the mafia takes from the state's coffins means less money goes to citizens public services become poorer assistance for the needy becomes limited. we live in a context where in spite of a targeted inefficient approach by the police in the legal system it's not always easy to prevent organized crime and how it's ingrained in the southern territories the risk posed by the massive becomes greater and more real if the state's response

is not fast and effective enough if the state doesn't provide the needy with subsidies and support that it's inevitable that criminal syndicates will continue to take advantage of. what is coming up after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see that .

you can't be vulgar with the yeah you like. told will you call it was a china it is not coherently explain to us why even worse is the strategy there is it was also the sad. welcome back now in the u.s. the number of covert deaths is expected to reach 100000 in a few hours while some accuse the governments of grossly mishandling the crisis

that washington is trying to pin the blame on beijing is compared what it alleges was a chinese cover up of the initial outbreak to the soviet response to the shoe noble nuclear disaster. the u.s. is feeling a bit how bold at the moment they don't always insisted it was exceptional and it really did exceptionally actually handle the case pandemic so if your unseeded you need to deflect from an economic crisis soaring unemployment and a high death toll but use a reply busy testing out disinfectants you don't have the time for a whole new political strategy so you look to history and sure enough an old friend and neiges see days of the cold war sure they are too few to ship. we must be a good tool in the against the fact that some us political forces are hijacking the china u.s. relations in an attempt to push our 2 countries to the brink of

a new cold war decades ago you wanted this poor oppressed people behind the iron curtain to taste freedom and a coca-cola bottle so now you need to find in 21st century poor oppressed people who are just busting through your liberty i was. i. was i was and with china about to toss in north hong kong that would ban treason and sedition is the part that pretext presidential role as global fund manager of the freedom to say hong kong has flourished as a bastion of liberty the united states strongly urges beijing to respect hong kong's high degree of autonomy democratic institutions and civil liberties which are key to preserving a special status on the us law and you don't even need to splash out of marketing

you can see here some of your posters because conveniently the enemy you are fighting all those cold war years ago there's a menace is still hanging around swinging sickle media's focus on the current pandemic risks mess in the bigger picture of the challenges presented by the chinese communist party. 1st the basic facts trying it's been ruled by a brutal authoritarian regime risks that the chinese communist party presents to the united states carney's communist party school years this information campaign that the chinese communist party the chinese communist party presents the central threat of our talks no mind that cost and wish them a happy birthday now the polls say the november why don't be quite the slam dunk when you are expected you have to change will soon especially when it's not just about saving a few hong kong students waving the star-spangled banner this is about saving the world trying to respond to be held responsible for what they've done they have hurt

the world very very badly but you don't want to be the only one so much any good democrat who believes in the freedom of choice you funny people into following you will eat from encouraging them to today projects to making them get on board a huge investigation even with madame cells in the middle of the biggest recession in history or threatening a breakup if they carry on with the deal you just don't like we will simply disconnect we will suppose separate we're going to preserve trust and that works for important information we hope our friends and partners in ours across the world especially our 5 eyes partners like australia will do the same times have changed a bit though waiting you need to know what happened used to be a good scat tactic but it's a bit passe so you mustn't nice and instead reach for your new fee for a foreign policy tool economic strangulation you don't need healthy competition right now you're going to have a crisis so decked out one way to get the chips they need to survive and bounce in

chinese companies from just you know the u.s. stock exchanges own obviously when it's out sanctions secretary pompei would likely be unable to certify that hong kong maintains a high degree of autonomy and if that happens there will be sanctions that will be imposed on hong kong and china that owe no guarantees of course bot. if you do all this you might be to shift just enough of the blame and attention from yourself to fall back to reelection position and by the time be an actor realizes that with of which chart. you'll be and still still your favorite office chair. many families have been split apart by the restrictive measures and closed borders during the pandemic but one woman from new zealand has managed to reunite with her terminally ill sister in australia.

oh god. christine archer applied to the home office in australia 6 times but repeatedly failed they wanted her to prove that she really was the sister of gail archer the fact that gail who has cancer potentially only has a short time left to live didn't seem to make a difference to them only after the story attracted the attention of the media and went viral did australia grant christine permission to come christine told us her story. why don't they wanted something else they wanted to know my music ministry i have no idea why because i wasn't coming here to new this just to be a companion and look out to my sister until she dies if i could have given me a good reason why. the only thing is the virus and i am going to stay in the image the coronavirus satiric also age every country wants to keep the

people's right but you need to have some compassion restrictions the very strict rules. daughter who lives 3 hours away i could only come and see her for half an hour and she didn't get to see her grandchildren and there it was really upsetting for houda. she here it was just awful sorry if i hadn't. come over to look after gary oh my sister she would have been in hospital until she died and it's not what she wanted it all and you should be i will be given a choice you should be i don't come into your own home and live with your arnheim for your foreign awakes months with a long term fix it coronavirus that you ation. both countries seems to be stable new zealand has had no positive cases for the past 5 days while australia started

to ease its restrictive measures in some parts of some of its most populated states in a bid to boost to the economy christine archer again says that the restrictions are still needed to prevent a new outbreak things are looking good they're opening and. charles and. i think if you. keep people will shout and people are suitable in following the rules. it will be i mean i'm not saying it's not going to come back new zealand could have another break it could happen when people are going to come to new zealand again someone could but they will close in markets around the world no. people are just being kept from their families during the pandemic animals to reuniting with their owners. 2 2
