decades ago is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy in laos was built to the people needed in that little land on. u.k. announces moving to phase 2 work easing the flop down the families who've lost loved ones to the pandemic say they feel abandoned. and just i feel don't respect the people that have died and the families left behind. critical time for france as it relaxes its own lock down with people flocking outdoors to enjoy the spring sunshine medics more the country could face a 2nd wave of the virus. as long as ventilators remain a fine necessity during the pandemic r.t. speaks of those who had a near death experience but lived to tell the tale. i honestly have a feeling my comeback from the other side knew my children were crying so much they

were telling me remarked we are scared to. be italian mafia is caught stealing half a 1000000 euros in social welfare benefits it 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 now the u.k. has registered its lowest daily kovac 1000 deaths increase since march with prime minister boris johnson saying it's now time to stop further easing the country's lockdown i can confirm that i do believe we will be in a position to move to step 2. as part of step 2 we set up plans for a phased reopening of schools part way 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've lost loved ones to the pandemic we heard from a woman whose father succumbed to kovac 19 catherine to put host ses he was turned away in his hour of need a mum had a cold one will mourn earlier that week and at that point they said he had moderate symptoms of govt 98 and to stay at home continued self isolate saying i'm safe from 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 updike's. and it was only when you know he wrists are clearly very very young while there and i'm going to came down talking to hospital later that day going to renal failure and we were asked if the commission to withdraw the

locks. and he died. this photo was taken 3 weeks before catherine's father died she says there is no psychological support for families with europe's worst infection rate the u.k. has registered over 36000 deaths catherine to protest against believes it was the government's delay in imposing a nationwide lockdown then led to the story number of cases. just i feel don't respect the people that have died and the families left behind if different decisions have been made in march. my dad would have been able to fly to the u.k. cause we did get 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 that happened earlier bill that the government are not giving in to educate people about the risks and so because of that people are now taking brits. and we're not being asked to wear masks those no emotional support available to families grieving family been affected by the virus. long ventilators have become a prime minister city during this pandemic doctors try to avoid immediately placing covert patients where there were spiritual problems on long ventilators but when it comes to severe cases these machines are critical for survival and one cause all to ski the host of r.t. is epidemic series talk to those who've experienced life on a ventilator and are now returning to normality. whether it's real marion fix or the wish it is a must and should. be able to offer more information from

a bully much of course if your review of the movie as much as it was a show of the above limits film that i was going to force for an hour for a month or for. looks to be a rumor of the off the mark more ability in the. future for the future for the new shroom flying missions to the way you share because of you are you sure sure. you look at it in the power of the weapon the symbol for nearly came with that freedom the universe the abuse you suitable. for the. last book of those for your folks for fear for the awful truth i still

feel about the addition of those films with the funny you should feel you know just for this magical minute all the voices of the interest plus the stunt they actually are still going for some off the field not so physically which of course if there are 4 i think the movie states this in the interest of community to this examiner my sister for the one thing you could see looking get a shot of this i would look good you're fine i didn't put the society. with that artist at the moment i would say when you know but it exists and i think that they have lost actually feeding us to even tougher for them. record with some symptoms because you gave me did see them going on where you were there. was also the usual. yes you do you suppose also if you want the ultimate example if you knew

it was true so often simpler to move instead of. the word of. the other for 30 we'll just yet but if they mean it's the glued to the. sky is now this new to me this is the view i think you see down there for sure this force for good be sure you more than ever because again. you still. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready are such that i've seen some of the world you socialists. go to court but you go for it you need for the woman that the brits inquisitiveness well there's some old we've just on the floor there's already a monster because of the votes. to do it differently. for the. future which more than just really where you know what you mean the money is true

but it is better for them to do that because they're and this is a fallacy of the give me a chance. to build up. that we're going to. never give money. that's wrong starts to lift its quarantine churches and mosques of opens their doors to worship as 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 when it is the right time to be lifting the lockdown so the deep end ski in paris looks at how life has changed since the measures were 8. 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 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 distance is now parks here in paris are still closed and as you can see here along the cent they respect seeing 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 did 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 too 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. 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 nice life again and i think people should be careful well call

me here in paris at least but that wasn't the case elsewhere and from whence in the cold mean of sun this which is just west of the city over the norm to the west coast of france they were protests with 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. god. there was announcements from the government over easing zone over struction the council of state and told the government that it was not allowed to restrict religious services and now that means off to 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 in france all 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 aging 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 to some businesses who were affected by the 191 pandemic meaning that they have to

make the 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. r.t. paris. italian mafia mobsters have been busted cashing in on social benefits intended for the country's poorest police there around $100.00 mafia members in southern italy were falsely claiming the government's citizenship wages this is a basic income issue to low wage households and job seekers the revelation has sparked a furious response across the country. sony. are filthy rich mobsters keep their money like hay bales 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

disputes taxpayers at great risk since we clearly pay no tax evaders. just little get it from the ministry of justice has to be in jail. the citizenship wage is $600.00 euros a month 101 mobsters were involved in the fraud with half a 1000000 euro's received illegally and it was to get the payments they use false identities now all of the money has been confiscated by the italian authorities these days the mafia operates through clans mostly across italy's south in sicily alone there are estimated to be 904 clowns 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 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 for 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 before $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 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 probe and take advantage of all this. in the south western region of campania

the camorra clan is trying to regain control they reported to be competing against civil society efforts to support those in desperate need by giving out loans and food parcels the a campaign is they use it makes a mockery of the official government. the point is that it's not that the mafia needs this money this $450.00 euros a month but rather it's an example of how the mafia can make a mockery of the state the mafia has an impressive economic capacity and they can wait wait for what 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 coffers 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 seemed grained 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. thanks for joining us here on r.t. international this monday we're back after the break with morning. i. know crap. no shots. actually. to. which your thirst for action.

anyone else chose seemed wrong wrong wrong just don't all. get to shape out just to come out to. engage me because the trail. went on many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back in the u.s. the number of covert deaths is expected to reach 100000 in a few hours also

a mix accuse the government of grossly mishandling the crisis washington is trying to pin the blame on beijing as compared with a ledges with a chinese cover up of the initial outbreak to the soviet response to the should noble nuclear disaster artie's head of reports. the u.s. is feeling a bit how bold at the moment and always insisted it was exceptional and it really did exceptionally actually handle the pandemic so if your unseeded you need to defect from an economic crisis soaring unemployment and a high death toll but also really quite 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 knowledge is the cheery days of the cold war. we must be a good tool in the against the fact that some us political forces hijacking the

china u.s. relations in an attempt to push our 2 countries to the brink of a new cold war decades ago if you wanted this poor press people behind the iron curtain to taste freedom and the coca-cola bottle so now you need to find some 21st century poor oppressed people who are just busting for your liberty was. was was and was china about to toss in north hong kong that would ban treason and sedition if the powers that pretext to presidential role as global finance of the freedom can 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 all posters because conveniently the enemy you are fighting all those cold war years ago there's a menace is still hanging around swinging cicle media's focus on the current pandemic risks mess and 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 chinese communist party failures disinflation campaign that the chinese communist party the chinese communist party presents the central threat of our talks i would never mind that cost and wish them happy but day now the polls say the november might not 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 like any good democrat who believes in the freedom of choice you money people into following your lead 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 simply separate we're going to preserve trust in networks for important information we hope our friends and partners ours across the world especially are 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 want to nice and instead reach for your new feature a foreign policy tool economic strangulation you need healthy competition right now

you're going to a crisis so don't go whoa wait get the chips they need to survive and bounce in chinese companies from destroying the u.s. stock exchanges oh easy when i doubt 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 oh no guarantees of course but if you do all this you might be to shift just enough of the blame and attention from yourself to rollback to reelection position and by the time get an actor realizes that have that with of which hot gas you'll be and still stay off a threat of office chair. i don't professor of economics and finance a new york university says washington is capitalizing on the current situation to create problems for china. a lot of folks have bought into a lot of the cuarón conspiracies and therefore. believes that

trump you know is the only person that they can trust in u.s. politics in washington is worried about china becoming too powerful and eclipsing a superpower washington. wants to. stop trying to contain china isolate china it sees this as an opportunity to ensure that china cannot advance well in the cold war certainly has been used a lot in describing the very tense relationship between us and china right now but i would say that a better analogy would be the rivalry between u.k. and germany leading up to world war one. many families have been split apart by the restrictive measures and close borders during the pandemic but one woman from new zealand has managed to reunite with her terminally ill sister in australia.

0000. christine archer applied to the home office in australia 6 times but repeatedly failed and wanted her to prove that she really was the sister of dale archer the fact that gayle 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 that australia ground christine commission become christine told us her story. charm i apply it they wanted something else they wanted to know my music ministry i have no idea why because i wasn't coming here to new just to be a companion and look after my sister until she dies if i could've given me a good reason why. the only thing is the virus and i

understand it the coronavirus satirical saying. every country wants to keep the people's right but you need to have some compassion restrictions the a very strict rules. daughter who lives 3 hours away could only come and see her for half an ear and she didn't get to see her grandchildren and there was really upsetting for who. she here it was just awful sorry if i hadn't. come over to look after gail 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 in your own time for the offline awakes months have a long term fix

a coronavirus that you ation in 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 of its most populated states and a bit to boost the economy christine arch again says that the restrictions are the only good to prevent a new outbreak. things are looking good they're opening came fatties and hotels and things now i'm sorry i think if you keep people want to shop and people seem so well and so are you the rule. that it will be our that i mean i'm not saying it's not going to count basic new zealand could have another outbreak it could happen when people when they are going to jump on the way to come to new zealand are going someone could bring it on but they will close it down and why be anything to market his thing around the world now know. your doubts
