what i think is this is the found that is something. u.k. announces it's moving through phase 2 of easing its lockdown that families who've lost loved ones to the pandemic say they feel abandoned. just i feel don't respect the people that have died and the families because a. critical time for france as they relax has its own lockdown with people flocking outdoors to enjoy the spring sunshine medics warm the country could face a 2nd wave of the virus. as long ventilators remain a prime necessity jury in a pandemic artie's pics 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 my children were crying so much they were

telling me remarked we are skilled. and the italian mafia is called stealing half a 1000000 euros in social welfare benefits sparking outrage across the country. very warm welcome to you it's monday the 25th as may and this is r.t. international live from moscow the u.k. has registered its lowest daily coded 19 death increase since march with prime minister boris 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 2. 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 that is a lack of help for families who've lost loved ones to the pandemic we heard from a woman as woman whose father succumbed to covert 19 catherine diprotodons ses he was turned away in 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 one. and to stay at home continue to isolate. him 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 by. and it was only when you know he resists clearly very very young while there and i'm going to came and took him to hospital later that day going to renal failure and we were asked if submission to withdraw the

life. and he died. this photo was taken 3 weeks before katherine's father died she says there is no psychological support for families with europe's worst infection rates the u.k. has registered over 36000 deaths catherine to protest against believes it was the government's delay in imposing a nationwide lockdown that led to the soaring number of cases. 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 not giving in to educate people about the arrests 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 families been affected by the virus. long ventilators have become a prime nesa t. during this pandemic doctors try to avoid immediately placing covert patients with asperity problems on lung ventilators but when it comes to severe cases these machines are critical for survival of the host of artes epidemics series talk to those who've experienced life on a ventilator and the now we're taught returning to normality. or for. you to be rid of mine or you're off the mark more ability to have.

a future for the future you should move closer relations to the world to share bigger with your future share if you look at it over there were very similar or nearly came right there for you the man of the earth the old good new shoes to fill the hole for the. last book of those for the 4th year for the awful truth i still feel about the addition of those films to the funny you should feel enough for this modern minute who is of the interest but just from what they actually are i still call for support the bill thought so for a 2nd which of course if for i think the movie states this in the us the community

to. me is that that is the film probably soon we know but it exists and i think that they have lost action with it in mr making it even tougher for the record with some sympathy and because you really did see them all young really remarkable. if you're both here is to. ask you to keep the puzzle so if you want nothing else nothing to continue feel good about actually step up to the simplest and move. with the what if from. the other for a 3rd even real. yeah but if they need the food ok if it. was. on sky. news to me this is the view i think it would be if studios were for sure this force for good be sure you more the problem because again. it's your

. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready pursuits that are in sync so those of my own social. world record like you go for and need for the woman that the platoon corps opinion for this or knows that we've just on the floor was already months because of the votes. to do it differently. for the. future which meant that there was a just really very you know what you mean the money is true but it is better for them to do that in 2 or 3 generations all 3 of them if you're just. going to. start working. every month. as france starts to lift its quarantine churches and mosques have opened their

doors to worship is for the 1st time in 2 months and with the weather getting warmer people across france have flocks outside to enjoy the sun this week is expected to be critical in determining whether now really is the right time to be lifting the lockdown shala dubin ski is in paris for is looking at how life has changed since the measures we. 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 are 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. social distancing 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 but i can see that people still are respecting 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 grade because i don't want to experience a nice 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 once in the cold mean of sun this hour 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.

a. good. day was. there was announcements from the government over easing over struction the council of state and 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 in france all the 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 government and something similar just last week and finally in another attempt to try and boost france's aid being a colony which has seen its 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 are affected by. going to pandemic that they have to make those 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 charlotte even ski r.t. paris. is hollywood mafia mobsters have been busted cashing in on social benefits intended for the country's poorest but least around $100.00 mafia members

in southern italy were falsely claiming the government's citizenship wage this is a basic income issue to low wage households and job seekers the revelation sparked a furious response across the country. are filthy rich mobsters keep their money like a bail 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 take spiritual retreat since we're clearly paying off taxes. there's little they're going to from the ministry of justice has to be in jail. now the citizenship wages $600.00 euros a month 101 more posters were involved in the fraud with half a 1000000 euros received illegally in order to get the payments they use false identities well all the money has now been confiscated by the italian or 30 s.

now 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 and their activity can ruin people's lives. i. 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 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 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 at the march to rebel 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 pro-choice people and take advantage of all this. in the southwestern region of campania the camorra clan is trying to regain control they reported to be campaigning against civil society efforts to support those in desperate need by giving out loans and food paul sills and the mafia campaigners say that makes him say it makes a mockery of the official government. it can i get my for 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 math here 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 pork 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 affective 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 your way after this very short break stay with us.

you cannot be thinking with yeah you like. anyone else chose seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and indeed trade equals betrayal. when so 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 while some accuse the government of grossly mishandling the crisis that washington is trying to pin the blame on beijing is compared what it alleges was the chinese cover up of the initial outbreak to the soviet response to the should noble nuclear disaster artie's south korea teleports. the u.s. is feeling a bit how bold out the moment i don't know why is the system it was exceptional and it really did exceptionally actually handle the pandemic so if your unseeded you need to deflect from an economic crisis soaring unemployment and

a high death toll but you're 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 his cheery days of the cold war are you watching. we must be good judgment 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 want is poor press 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 the olympic city i was. was was and with 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 special status under u.s. 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 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 types i would never mind that cost and wish them a happy birthday now the polls say that 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 cup it was shown 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 your lead from encouraging them to date projects to making them get on board a huge investigation even with madame cells in the middle of the biggest recession in history all threatening a breakup if they carry on with the deal you just don't like we will simply disconnect we will simply separate if we're going to preserve trust in networks for

important information we hope our friends and partners and ours across the world especially our 5 eyes partners like australia will do the same times have changed a bit though waving your new you know what that 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 crisis so decked out one way to get the chips they need to survive and bounce chinese companies from listing on the u.s. stock exchanges oh easy one 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 back to reelection position and by the time get an actor realizes that have that

with of which shot who casts you'll be in school still you also a threat of the office chair. many families have been split apart by the restrictive measures and close borders during the pandemic but one woman has from new zealand has managed to reunite with her terminally ill sister in australia. christine archer applied to the home office in australia 6 times but repeatedly failed it wanted her to prove that she really was the sister of dale archer the fact that gail who has cancer potentially only has a short time left to live it didn't seem to make a difference to them only off the story attracted the attention of the media and went viral that australia grants christine permission to come christine told us her story. charm i applied 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 have given me a good reason why. the only thing is the virus and i am the stain the image the coronavirus satirical saying in every country wants to keep the people's rights 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 it was really upsetting for houda. 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 the coronavirus situation 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 archer again says that the restrictions are still needed to prevent a new outbreak. things are looking good they're opening careful and in hotels and things may i'm sorry i think if you keep people want to shout and people are sensible and follow the rules. it will be i mean i'm not saying it's not going to count back new zealand could have another

outbreak it could happen when people when they are going to try to come to new zealand again someone could bring it on but they will close it down and why be anything like it is around the world now. and they feel are just being kept from their families during the pandemic animals to reuniting with their. 2 2 2 2 2
