hospitals with debts of around. 1000000000 euros and for a long time this is a system that is being creaking we saw way before the pandemic way before hospital services were completely stretched that medical workers were already out on the streets protesting about issues around their working conditions and salaries some medics telling me that it just wasn't safe for patients to go to hospital so this was even before 900 to give you a sense of how much of a pressure there has been on hospitals in france now this new plan is being formulated what will it look at and how will it operate well it's going to include $300.00 stall from across the medical community so who will be advising the government on the issues that need to be addressed some of the big issues salaries and working hours now we know that the prime minister has said that stuff will see a significant boost in their wages and we know that he said that 35 working hour

here working hour week will also be looked at and he said there will be a move towards in the future perhaps more online consult a sions we physicians now speaking as he launched up plan the prime minister of france edward felipe really stressed that pay rise stuff. don't tolerate it but the the issue is not to be the constraints of kinds must be removed must be looked at in the same way. one of the challenges is to show our gratitude to the carers to preserve their motivation and vacation this recognition is immense in our country and as the president said it will be reflected in the salaries on this point i see it without ambiguity the increase will be significant well the french prime minister also talked about investment in the systems talking about a $150000000.00 euros on here and he said that some of that months of public that

all of the hospitals would be taken back in parents now you also acknowledge that they had been vos criticism of the government not just during the covert 19 pandemic but how it instigated the hospital systems in the meeting up to that and as i mentioned we saw protest off the protest by health care workers over a lot of the issues that they saw with the herring that profession apart. to implement the cigar plan you need to have court ability you see the small scale it took weeks for the mosques to riot but today we hear politicians claiming there was never any shortage this undermines the confidence that professionals in the field can have when negotiating with politicians they are usually they knew the

medals nor holiday vouchers will satisfy us our demands to remain the same more nurses medics fire on their decks and laboratory stuff and the financial recognition that goes with it that's what we're looking for the government is giving money to everybody to vanno to airbus but for me the most important thing is not right no it's not airbus because when people are sick they're not going to try have a car they're not going to travel far by plane while there is still a long road ahead as. those discussions take place but what we do know so far is that the french haven't taken to kindly to the reforms that have been instituted by president macaroons government reforms that are addressed and reviewed as part of this 2 month negotiation now and look at the health care system is due to be implemented as part of the new social security law which will be presented to the parliament in the autumn. when we talk to the wrong liberal rubenstein who's

a french medic and he suspects the government's making empty promises. i think that improvements will happen but they won't be enough hospitals have been screaming about the problems for a year and a half and then we also got caught they will tell us yes excellent because the epidemic has passed we have raised yourself but frankly it's hard to believe there were so many plans already we have huge don't we don't know how the situation will develop we don't know what situation we are in now what will actually happen to health care and our profession. one will for the people another for the elite that's the charge being thrown to the british government as the prime minister's chief advisor refuses to step down after apparently violating strict lockdown rules the incident happened in march during the height of the u.k.'s quarantine revelation has infuriated the british public dominic cummings the man at the center of the storm remained unapologetic during

a grilling from journalists in downing street rose garden. do you regret what you didn't know i don't i don't regret. what i did and so as i said i think reasonable people may well disagree your own scientists are worried they said this last night by introducing an element of personal discretion into the interpretation of the rule as it was the trip to hospital and then there was the dr on day 15 parts but apart from the. night of his life. he said in terms of just trips to break the rules of people not going to funerals of people not even going into hospital when their kids have been happy in camps a treatment why are you so different don't you think you are at the very least open apology. i don't think i'm so i don't think i'm so different and i don't think this will move for from the and will move for other people. but prime minister brushed

on things chief advisor isn't the only one who seems to think the rules don't apply to him as he is that 1st year taylor explains. that. the hoops looks like no one is it and that my friends is this version of power bars johnson see you're a don't want to commies found himself in the doghouse when his wife was showing coach knight hundreds of times he thought what a puck time for cheap he wrote trip popping her in that childish was car and driving 260 miles north to visit his out parrots knock down. ring the bell was out hypocrisy yes a far friend also found friends i believe. that in every respect he has acted responsibly and legally and with integrity and with the overwhelming aim

of stopping the spread of the virus and saving lives i mean i know the u.k. government itself does not start its recent polls but i think most would see that the prime minister backing cummings on this slightly goes against that's it the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households by staying at home we can protect already h.s. and save lives a message that's been blasted through the airwaves it's trying to don't want to that's kept people imprisoned in that part of separated from family and unable even to attend funerals of loved ones what was though just think a suicide must have known he was setting himself and his psychic up to be batted from all sides from the quarantined public. week operate. thank you very much good god what a degraded feel she played

a tape of her with thanks to usually mild mannered christians and listen very soon we see clear repentance including the sacking of cummings i no longer know how we can trust what ministers say sufficiently for church of england to work together with them on the bend demick. and to those who are working endless shifts on the front line this is me right now heading back into the covert i.c.u. i've worked for the last 2 months this stuff is hard and hard work come see my parents is january frankly coming spits in the face of all our efforts the whole n.h.s. if he doesn't resign i will so incensed the people by the story to even journalists in their hunt for the very latest comment well they just threw away their masts and and shed their flubs and grabbed those cameras because you don't. know. where you're going to go to how to go home and they're

going to save the world but quite frankly why should they were asked saw gloves or listen to public guides lights dominic cobain starts it don't it companies has shown us that we can do anything we want but if you do you'll get chased by trends fined by police and lost his video that unfortunately there are a whole lot of dominic's just in very positions of power that's the face of thought in spite of coronavirus you just have to get away to a 2nd home twice and the mobster might behind the knocked on thought to how the rules i invented i need to see my lover and outrageous hubris isn't just a u.k. specialty the austrian president broke locked our holes to pull saying got lost in conversation. i went out for the 1st start since the war done with 2 friends and my wife with the last strike of the time while chatting i am truly sorry it was a mistake and states like virginia governor got

a very great on his own homework assignment when he was caught bad start a beach having said that and so your homework this weekend is to make plans for you and your other family members to have facial protection so apparently no more suffocating in masks or sweating in gloves looking longingly through the window or having your family virtually because it seems it's a free for all kids you no longer have to practice what you preach. forms of desert locusts have been ravaging crops in the middle east east in africa and also in pakistan and india is the worst outbreak in 27 years the crop destroying insects search for green areas to satiate that enormous appetite is although locusts don't pose a direct danger to humans the un food agency says the swarms create a major threat to food security in the affected regions. if the weather continues

to be favorable for the locals you know good rainfall basically those locusts numbers yes they will continue to increase and you have to think about of course in east africa it's already a very vulnerable area you know that they had 3 years of drugs they had it your rainfall so you know locusts and then coronavirus in addition you know to already this kind of fragile area it makes it very very challenging and that this is an unprecedented threat you know to food security and livelihoods and that's exactly what it is you know the people are just you know below the level of famine to stop the famine the morrison well you know we're not in that situation but you know this is something we want to prevent we don't want to you know have the famine so that that is why you know all of these efforts you peals by oh by the feel for financial assistance from the international community it is so important the millions of locusts the time crop fields they can destroy everything within hours then strike

the original dry land where the climate forces them to gather in small patches that we now learned he starts raining they start breeding abundantly the amount of food insecurity has led some to call for a joint response. this year in addition to the covert pandemic the new challenges facing the people of the south asia and southwest asia region that's of desert locusts india has adjusted to pakistan the both countries coordinate locals control operate on the border and that india can facilitate supply of the pesticide mollifying on to pakistan also an act is done this year there is breeding in the indus valley which is very unusual and in the punjab plains up near the capital islamabad and normally breeding doesn't happen in these areas but this year it did because last summer there was such a large breeding on both sides in india pakistan border some of it was quite late

and so the locusts it was too cold for them to move to to the coastal plains of iran so that they only made it to the indus valley and that that's why they stayed there so all of this means that more locusts will be coming into the desert areas along both sides of the india pakistan border and they've already started in fact i'm india's already received some swarms earlier this month and this will continue for this month or next month and probably into july as well so it's like a successive waves of swarms coming is not just for one night or one week but is it's going to be over a number of weeks and months one is coming up with a very short break stay with us.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

welcome back at least a dozen inmates have been infected inside an overcrowded prison in the argentinian capital situation worse and off the board as the heiress revoked a measure allowing a temporary house arrest transfer because a number of violent criminals were released but various organizations have been pleading for the measure to be reinstated as the current conditions in the jail could prove ideal for corona virus to wreak havoc this is a video sent by one of the prisoners in the via devote prison there is reportedly no medical care and social distancing is impossible around drug lavar is one of the many he wants to be transferred to serving the final few months of his sentence and describes the cells of death traps. people are afraid they can die here because of

this pandemic there is no medical help in prison and there never has been everyone is nervous including me a lot of time has passed my wife my 7 year old daughter and my 25 year old son are waiting for me at home i missed them very much i have lost my necro nic lung disease that's because i smoke so the risk increases for me if i get killed it i want even last 24 hours. fears of the virus spreading have seen inmates riots across latin america including in that prison we saw earlier at least 160 people are known to have died from covert 19 in south american detention facilities 3 quarters of those deaths that were registered in peru but with some violent criminals having been released earlier the public has also been responding with protests in argentina as crime is a major concern there one mother whose child was killed in a robbery told us the measure was wholly inappropriate. element he said it's just

not clear we're all feeling bad no i believe the government shouldn't go that way but demonstrate some justice to the victims who have gone through such who are just because now we have to check for you it goes who murdered raped and kidnapped all children should do prison term as it should be. in a wave of easing restrictions across the u.s. new york has temporarily allowed non-essential gatherings of 10 or fewer people with exception was made for the memorial day holiday weekend which honors military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces artie's trinity charges updates is on the situation in new york. after spending months inside americans are eager to spend some time now out doors but as days across the country are easing lockdown restrictions in the coronavirus from demi just in time for the holiday weekend new concerns are surfacing the potential 2nd wave of a deadly virus morial day weekend in the u.s.

will get back to business reporting from home in new york tradition of us our. well to new yorkers half reportedly being offering bribes to plastic surgeons if they desperately seek to modify the way they look despite the lockdown imposed by the or dorothy's we got a firsthand account from steven live on one of new york's top plastic surgeons who's worked with some of the world's most famous people. i think there's a lot of focus right now on on our own beauty biggest we're all participating in these in these suman and skype and virtual meetings where where instead of just talking to someone we're actually seeing yourself in the upper right or lower right hand corner so i think that's their ass i think putting a mask on your face in some ways draws more attention to your face than and otherwise so i think people are thinking about it a lot so yeah and sure i don't think it's uncommon i have colleagues who are

dermatologist colleagues request your colleagues who are your hair stylists all of whom i think have been offered offered higher perks to get their services during this time. the consequences could range from a financial penalty so having to pay a fine to potentially something to do with licensure where you could jeopardize your medical license but also ultimately you want to do things when when the when you feel safe to do so 1st i'm a doctor and and ultimately patient safety comes 1st so certainly at the beginning of this made i had stopped my elective surgery before the government mandated that we stop for a surgery. i think the 1st thing i expect is there to be a significant amount of pent up demand. trend wise you wonder what they're really being and trying to easy to say well people are going to care

a lot about their eyes and this region yes they're they're sort of mass premier nose to their chins about reasonable another thought people have said is that they're going to focus a lot on their bodies because their faces are covered. but we know that there are there exists plenty of regions on the planet where people and women in particular routine the cover their faces and yet plastic surgeries extremely prevalent in those areas so i anticipate the demands of continue to. look your best that you feel you will be steady. from. this part of heaven 19 a slowdown here in russia but people are still waiting for the country's borders to reopen for travel and not just to go on holiday but also to reunite with their loved ones among them the son of a jazz legend. the for. the.

under the banner of medicine he persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer soon is to blame patients doctors manufacturers and the government. known for you know no. no no free shipping and. $100.00 fishy for sale and. so for the moment i look for 20 of us ones and i'm going to have the that's a big part of that fee but there's

little public comment holes will be found and copied over most of the time none of us has to have said. let's not long this will result in more but over milan the good part is that michael nodded yes that was a really good point on the palace where you see these are. the ones that are all the troops of the bubble to the dot so it does look that oddly model on the head but they've been the struggle still. it was some time ago that the dead group chose this square in which to dance the dozens of pad particularly challenging simply tend up to music. but syria is different even in the taqiyya where there was no street to street fighting during the war people seem to have conflicting feelings about performance place like there .
