9:37 pm
works as a nurse in one of the hospitals right and he also was a vocal critic of the way this whole pandemic a crisis in new york and in the country do you think that need was prepared for this outbreak honestly i don't feel like we were prepared very much at all i think a quicker shutdown would have done a bit better to mitigate the spread that was going on part of the reason the virus has spread so much is that so many people live in big cities like new york with minimal or no access to proper health care these are the homeless and poor people who don't have good insurance plans. so this is going to be our 1st shooting location a small park in manhattan where a ball and skiers are distributing food for homeless and. statistics show that most people are dying from coded 9000 at a rate 61 percent higher than the general population in new york and. the shelter
9:38 pm
is where most of them live are notorious for being coronavirus hot baths so we'll look around and talk to these people to find out what this in them is like for them . i've heard that they have a like they give away food here like every monday and wednesday. do you. know getting here to. see how this pandemics being going on for you personally how are we holding up. only going on speaking. with people who want to. also pounced on. i mean people are dying people on but it's. you. and you don't believe in you like you don't believe in ovid that this is a real threat that this is something for real. i don't think it's right to exam reply to my point. it's not to me.
9:39 pm

9:40 pm
made a shop with heroin i mean this is crazy and it's just you know i'm not comfortable . but that is just is just so over the top. it is scary. these people they believe and they frankly don't care maybe poverty isn't the main reason corona virus has spread in the u.s. but you know it's definitely contributed to make the numbers look bad specially new york city we have a lot of people who don't have access to clean water antibacterials hand sanitizer even the ability to socially distance is a luxury for them right so without that ability 1st of all it's horrible but 2nd of all it breeds the possibility of contagion going forward what was this pandemic like for you oh my god what. did the. i. mean do you have
9:41 pm
a plan like for example if tomorrow you feel any symptoms like what would you do you go to a hospital you have insurance like you have a plan. if you know some folks who are staying in the shelter or something like that. 26. all right so these guys directed us to one of the largest shelters in manhattan and there's been a lot of reports that these facilities are overcrowded and the people there are well they have been left to cope with the cold it's on the road. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot
9:42 pm
must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point over you see is to trace trusts every one of them sheer. inflicting on various jobs and with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the robot must protect its own existence as a makeshift for. an entire village in alaska. if another country threaten the wife of an american. we do everything in our power to protect the. water that is skipping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fastest coastal erosion in
9:43 pm
the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is 35 closer than how long that was for i don't think we're part of earth for. sure. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and. talk.
9:44 pm
shows seem wrong but old rules just don't hold. anything you get to shape out these days and become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so this is the place to shelter we were told about. to get laid so people are coming in and out bellevue homeless shelter it's the name was all over the news
9:45 pm
just recently one terrible pictures of men sleeping on the floor inches apart went viral this is tacitly not the way you contain the spread of for grown a virus in a city and here's what happened after the public outcry about homeless people crowding. subways city authorities came after them and forced them into these public shelters the problem is that the facilities were weakly overcrowded there are not enough bats and not enough people to eat man sleep on top of each other it's it's a mass was going on behind those walls so you have around 20 shelters across the city at the height of the pandemic which are of nothing but a little bit odd bats. book little notes there comes a time just wanted. well you could you tell me what on earth. we are not allowed to
9:46 pm
go inside without permission plus there are probably people who are in fact right now and don't want to risk it so but we might find someone outside few would be willing to talk. i've seen a lot of reports that you know at the height of the kind that make it was overcrowded people were slipping on top of each other yeah it was their right it was people you know in the same room is supposed to be 6 feet away at a. time one. example. that's not a social distance just what do you think about this whole cove that thing i mean this whole kobe thing is. about the low population. so what's your plan it's not a plan and i sleep in it. you're already got
9:47 pm
a spot yeah distraught over the initial list it's all right no problem you know because. you're not scared like i mean i mean it's not about being scared is about the most . that's a god it's because. they give peace or. they don't really want. is just a microcosm of this corporate 19 crisis and we your if you look at this from these guys. size perspective he doesn't hear. is going to sleep outside
9:48 pm
in time doesn't wear a mask he doesn't know or follow any social distancing. this guy probably. not aware of that. is just the way it goes. there are people in this city who are saying they're not homeless yes they are homeless because of their insane they're also toothless and shoeless and jobless and sometimes hopeless. and whatever you want to call it insanity drug addiction alcohol addiction a combination i don't know i am seeing level of insanity of this being there i've never seen and i'm used to
9:49 pm
a lot of. you and. it's not just how poor fallen victim to the crisis in the us and there was one place not far from new york that reveals the unprecedented scale of the good tast refer to. this place is called island it's about an hour ride from new york and the minutes both ride from the nearest dock if a body can be identified or if a person has no family or and family could afford. it then island is the answer it has been sherman is a mass grave for centuries but now with all this pandemic this place is in high demand. aerial footage shown. on plane bodies being buried in trenches here. oh.
9:50 pm
rumor has it that when it blows north east from the northeast storm all the rocks on the northeast side of the island here are placed through for the erosion of the current there's a wash up wash up on city island like that all the time at st paul. i've heard some people saying that there's some old city islanders around skulls or things like that. it's kind of creepy. i think this is this close as we can get you actually have not a lot of set foot on the island well i mean now when it's so quiet you're really getting goosebumps i mean this is the largest mass graves in the united states and you know how many bodies are out there and just. this truly has become a grim symbol of the current demick in new york.
9:51 pm
this is where we will too one more level of deaths are going to be so great that dead that we're going to have to bury them maybe in parks maybe in potter's field maybe but we're going to have to we won't be able to handle those who had next to the hospitals trailer tractor trailers refrigerator. to handle the overflow. or. and thank. you and. the young is a nurse and one of your hospitals in she's been in both a critique of the way this pandemic was handled since so they want they're definitely walking into words on we no longer know what we're walking into we don't know. we don't know we've been in the army took part in numerous demonstrations.
9:52 pm
can you explain to us. were protesting against protective equipment it should have been the decision of who gets a massive does it that's in the main everybody in the health care we are essentially to start. telling us don't use. because you don't need it and we don't want to waste them. i don't know in the management of the hospital you work in was that was telling you that i. should not wear we don't want to see people wearing masks because we don't want to waste them that we didn't have enough masks we had no gowns. so this is just sounds crazy to me. how is that even possible that you didn't have i know that what happened was we had some but we never have so many people in isolation that you would run now so we would have one to isolation in a unit in a single unit at
9:53 pm
a given time and now we're talking about $100.00 people we quickly ran out because they didn't anticipate what it would be like or how much they would need and of course thinking about costs so am i going to buy hundreds and hundreds and not knowing how many i'm going to need i can't it's not a matter of money right because money is there the united states is the richest country on earth still is the expense to most. people per capita the money went. the wrong or the wrong place in. the billionaires made money during the pandemic and the poor people still struggle they were worried about big corporations you worry about the corporation they might not be workers to work and run. because the feel going to make it but he's not the one doing the. i've seen reports 'd in the local press in new york to some nurses who put on a strauss as
9:54 pm
a protective equipment i mean the picture the real it really did happen they did really. because like i said we ran out before i hang in there yeah it was from the door so ok so i discount is 30 i can't leave the room with a but i'm going to have to hang it in the door because when i come back here and i have to come back and i'm not going to have another gown those. gallons. it was never meant to stay on and it was never made to use a once over and over again you don't bring soldiers to war and you know give them weapons and you tell them yeah go out there and go luck you know try to figure it out hopefully you can kill the enemy if you try to take his weapon and then you should be ok. the lead they have been here when they go out there and throw gases and people they have good gear they have good man
9:55 pm
behind the mask that we should have been using. nobody helped. you know it was our own by we had to fight her every day we've asked the hospital what they have to say about these allegations but unfortunately they refused to give us a proper interview instead they send a standard reply that says quote we are continuing to move on in earth to ensure our health care workers have access to proper p. p. e. i think that the system was operating in the high capacity and the greatest humanitarian crisis and the century. the richest country most powerful and yet has the worst response there is are well countries that. china did so much better than. you. can explain that it's in there it's no excuse if we. we have.
9:56 pm
everything here yet we couldn't get it together. we thought we should also visit another state florida because it has become a new coronavirus hot spot in the u.s. over the last 7 days 73000 new cases have been registered there more than any other state at the moment there are over 400000. $900.00 cases in florida and it's twice as many as new york and 5 times more than the whole of china has experienced since the beginning of the pandemic so if new york used to be america. now it seems to have shifted to florida and we're going to cross state line any minute now.
9:58 pm
and then. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only population of belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of the whole streets in belfast at the plague more than a 100 innocent civilians women. as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to be named into than a gang i think it went to the very very top i
