and so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the sick of. this if you didn't i know that every stage of this epidemic we might say to ourselves that we could have said that we make mistakes true. a stark admission of failure in the handling of the public crisis by the french president of the country you know $300.00 pounds and the wrong is forced to impose a 3rd national lockdown. there's fears of a nursing exodus in the u.k. as a forward deals and one in 4 and a chance workers is more likely right now and that in one in 20 but many deciding to exhaustion from the pandemic we speak to one british nurse. with. the increased. the cost of living has gone up the wages have been increased the east

side much stress on the states and up to the government to help increase the weight . and that year of restrictions millions dad and the board run a virus is still a mystery after a long awaited w.h.o. report from home leaves many questions unanswered we ask a russian expert on the mission why it's taking so long. you're watching our to international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the french president admits he made mistakes at every stage of the pandemic and a televised address to the nation. has announced a 3rd nation wide lockdown as coma cases soar intensive care beds are filling up on the country's death toll nears 100000 he said the situation left him with no other choice. this it did i know that every stage of this epidemic we might

say to ourselves that we could have done better that we made mistakes who will this is true we all need to make an additional efforts over the coming months this is what i ask of us collectively tonight the new lockdown measures will be extended from $1000.00 areas to all of mainland friends from saturday this means a nationwide curfew beginning at 7 pm what will be imposed and travel between regions will be banned the french president has also said schools will be closed for at least 3 weeks and announced additional policing to ensure no more than 6 people gather at once the measures introduced by the french president come as a complete u. turn to his previous decision not to lock down in january he was criticised at the time by scientists and hospital bosses. but i say to the government do it now but do it now do it for a shorter time but do it to concede their right not to implement

a lockdown in france at the end of january because we didn't have the explosion of cases that every model predicted france's president is without a doubt an educated man emmanuel macro and through through the country's top institutions before making a mark in both the private public sector even repaying from youngest of a president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learned who knew when to take advice needed it is important at this time by following the advice of scientists as we've just done to ensure the continuity of on democratic life and our institutions but now it seems being top dog isn't quite enough not grown his throwing himself into an entirely new discipline the president has acquired real expertise in health issues it is not an inaccessible subject for an intelligent person like him considering the important time he has dedicated to it for several

months not grow as an aide since he wouldn't be declared that he has become an epidemiologist despite not having a scientific background in these claims over. seas on health issues have also rubbed the wrong way but. mr mccracken is president of the republic and in the framework of the pandemic just like all heads of states he has become interested in epidemiological data yes to put his nose to the grindstone he's obliged to take notice of trends but that doesn't make him an epidemiologist of course for all those that talk about epidemiology and among them we can find heads of states like president mccrone who talks about epidemiology just like we talk about politics when we talk about sculpture or bots music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists. well musicians. and britain there are fears of a nursing exodus after a survey revealed that any chest staff are now more likely to quit their jobs

citing exhaustion from the pen demick according to the poll one in 4 n.h.s. workers are more inclined to leave than last year almost 30 percent of them are nurses and midwives to occupations facing major shortages and 70 percent said a pay rise is the decisive factor meanwhile those working for free student nurses are struggling to make ends meet one of them gave us her reaction to the surveys findings it doesn't surprise me it's what we've had is it need is increased but. not the cost of living has gone up the wages have increased so much stress on the nurses that midwives everyone involved in the question and i think to be honest with the company pandemic i think everyone is know how to enough and they need help and i feel the government nature help and increase the way. to get a good environment for everyone british health authorities in turn have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra 29000000000 pounds but the nurse we spoke to says that money isn't

making any real difference when it comes to student medics. we get the 5000 pound girl and some people get a 2000 pound grant dependent children or will feel like i'm in shape but in reality is until in the ocean for the increase in childcare costs you know the increase in council tax increase and if you get into placement in my finished year i think it's a defeat back twice. and that should say the nest states that were actually were tightness is at the rate bank they could have played to say should i go into this position because i have 2 children and that's why my move by requiring little one was quite a full time childcare and the other one it just started sco the funds come for you all to we've already signed up for the cool so that for you the potential if you leave the coals and it does add to the mental some of the that so i. mean while the u.k. sports minister is being lampoon online after he suggested people should avoid

hugging it to save lives people took issue with the way he described hugs as off behavior. despite the temptation pleased. by actually hunting and risk the spread of disease the sea somebody paid. and maybe call him out on that in a respectful way. nigel how will stand where can i report you because if you think you're promoting normal behavior you need to check out from the neck up what script are you reading from no same individuals would put this out there as normal. behaving in a slightly old way strange choice of words to describe family members holding one another. in other words if you see someone behaving like

a human being then call them out on it. can he call his many call leaks who have been found guilty of various actions. 'd 'd a long awaited w.h.o. report on the origins of 19 has faced sharp criticism worldwide with some countries saying the investigation wasn't extensive and enough as many questions still remain unanswered the w.h.o. director general himself called for further studies after the report was published we got a firsthand account of the w.h.o. mission to walk home from a russian member of the team. which will cause

our mission started off under phase one why was it called that it was clear from the beginning nobody expected us to find answers to all the questions right away in fact it was prepared to rework aimed at analyzing the data we had accumulated and establishing hypotheses in general it's hard to predict how long this investigation will take and how it will end but it should be done that's for sure. or we've managed to find out that the virus supposedly emerged in the period between the middle of november and the beginning of december however we don't know the exact location of the outbreak in my view it was in china but it's not clear yet it's unlikely though that the outbreak occurred in a wet market most probably it was some market visitor who had already been infected and spread the virus this suggestion derives from the fact that there were quite a large number of patients who had nothing to do with the markets we don't know who the 1st patient was neither do we know the natural origin of covert 19 based on our

common knowledge of various coronaviruses we suggest it's a but might have been a source. the issue is very much politicized everyone is trying to find someone to blame i've never considered the oblique hypothesis a theory there's so much talk about this in the media though most people don't really have an idea there is no scientific evidence or facts proving a leak as of today based on what we saw i can say that the suspect a laboratory is run properly by well trained staff there is total compliance with all the rules regarding work with viruses of this has a class or even the class above the laboratory is regularly audited and is in the constant scrutiny of competence international organizations building from that we therefore can't say that a lab leak might have been the cause. we didn't feel any pressure coming from our chinese colleagues actually it wouldn't

even be the case i can think of how they could have put pressure on us we are in no way affiliated with china people from various countries were part of our team who went to carry out this investigation on behalf of the w.h.o. and what would have been the points of pressurising as we hardly liaise with officials we were largely in touch with scientists. rather cold reception georgian hospitality was not extended to a famous russian t.v. host on wednesday after he was basically forced out of the country following violent protests upon his rival lot amir posner had gone to georgia to celebrate his 87th birthday. as you just saw eggs were thrown and whistles were blown as protesters gathered outside poser's hotel they took exception to previous comments he'd made about the 2 a publix of a posse and south ossetia which have been engaged in

a long running dispute with georgia clashes with police ensued when protesters tried entering the hotel they claim the russian host wasn't welcome as he didn't respect georgia's territorial integrity posner says there was no political motivation behind his birthday trip just a little more background for you on the south the study are 2 breakaway regions that declared themselves independent over 20 years ago most of the world still views them as part of georgia but russia is one of the few countries that do recognize the territories a sovereign states. those who think politics and sports shouldn't mix have been taken aback by the us to limp and paralympic committee's latest decision it's ok to certain racial and social justice demonstrations at trials. a racial and social justice demonstration is specifically aimed at promoting the human dignity of individuals who groups that have historically been underrepresented minorities still marginalized in their respective societal context

under the new guidelines certain gestures and types of clothing are permitted athletes can now for instance wear hats with phrases like black lives matter and quality they will also avoid sanctions if they speak up for the rights of minorities and yell during the national anthem or hold up their fist on the podium and the making of political statements in sports has long been controversy all for instance and 2016 england's national football team was slapped with a 35000 pounds fine by fee for for wearing remembrance day poppies on their world cup qualifier the rise of the black lives matter movement has seen many athletes take up the cause with footballers and tennis players among those showing their solidarity at matches we got reaction from sports columnist. i was he told me that this has been very rote saw through and i suppose you assess that. the fuse and system of how this war some of those who were where does it start and those people

who were very very forcefully enough use of color say although there are people who are early for. your mother i won't name names group there so who are benefiting from this by rage. or are being very clear today are you know just side or skewed or getting around to doing are all this current he should be losing out for example dogs guns that instead are being rehabilitated and given a voice so that i just hope wish to be on this. boat who's joined in our to. still have a vaccine passports and masked man they are the latest bands of contention between democrats and republicans in the us a story in poll after this break. is

your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. place aleisha in the community. are you going the right way or are you being led. to. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallowest. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all fronts clearly

a dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back than demick has laid bare a host of political divisions in the u.s. especially over how to respond to the crisis and how democrats and republicans are slugging it out over mask mandates and vaccine passports. and looks at the latest clashes. joe biden says america is going to start getting back to normal in the coming summer months but what is that going to look like will normal only be for vaccinated folks while everyone else stays home such talk is being met with fury from republicans who are set against it especially when it comes from democrats who oppose id checks considering that democrats want to require vaccine i.d.'s for

people to conduct their basic daily activities they now have 0 grounds to objects to voter id laws he funded democrat logic you should need $92.00 and even a grocery stool surely there wouldn't be an objection to showing an id to legally vote vaccine credentials would be a complete government over step individuals in america have a personal responsibility for their health the governor of florida is now promising a state wide ban it's completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society you want the fox to guard the hen house i mean give me a break i think this is something that has huge privacy implications it is not necessary to do democrats are standing their ground now the 1st leader to propose the idea of vaccine passports was andrew cuomo the governor of new york state back

at the beginning of the pandemic he was a glowing hero in mainstream media that sense that his image has significantly faded but his idea of vaccine passports with q.r. codes that will be scanned by businesses for admission is catching on madison square gardens is already saying it will be a requirement and republicans now face mainstream media ridicule for their opposition to the proposal and irresponsibly they're being stupid right which is very rich coming from the party that wants 9 forms of identification before you can vote the right would have you believe that a vaccine paul spoke is a fact. really big brother coming for you and your family now the white house has confirmed it is working with the private sector to develop vaccine passports however they insist they are not keeping a database of who is and who is not vaccinated at the federal level so let the political games begin it's just like the mask mandate now at this point 16 states

have either lifted their mass mandate or never had one to begin with and now joe biden is urging them to reinstate it as there's a surge of cases i'm router in my call for every governor mare and local leader to maintain and really stay to match meant. at least this is not politics republican governors do not seem to appreciate joe biden's plea in fact the governor of arkansas has moved up the lifting of the mast mandate by an entire day he says the case numbers are showing a downward trend and now we have the mainstream media pressing the white house about whether or not joe biden is just being ignored for the. norm you oh i don't think we see it that way jeff but i would say that one of the ways we can impact people across the country is bag knowledge ng this is hard the shenanigans are starting to sound a little bit less like they're motivated by concerns about public health and more

like some classic american political squabbling the kind that's been around long before covert 19 and i'm going to reflect on the range feeling i have and. we have so much to look forward to so much promise of virtue and job where we are and so much reason for how all right now i'm scared the war continue vaccine passports mask mandates every new proposed measure seems to present a new opportunity for us decided to further polarize ideally it would be great if politicians focused on something other than creating political division and advancing special interests and the like but they don't and. with corona virus what we're seeing is that politicians are using the panic to funnel money to their corporate allies you see this through you know plans to create required vaccinations which of course by necessity bring a huge amount of money to the pharmaceutical companies that are producing those vaccinations and so we're seeing a lot of things that look a lot more like corruption and

a lot less like trying to actually provide guides for the american people as far as i know there is no meaningful plan and plays to go back to complete normalcy to you know pretty coronavirus type behavior i don't see there is dead that a vaccine passport to go to normal places could possibly be seen as something constitutional the united states presidency has lost the trust of the people and they did they didn't do this all at once that didn't happen because a crowd of ours they've just been lying to the american people about a lot joe biden may have said diplomacy is back on taking office but it seems a number of us organizations disagree 27 have signed a joint letter to the president urging him to step back from his tough talk on russia is what the statement. would be by the recent negative exchanges between leaders of the 2 countries with more than 90 percent of the world's nuclear warheads in their own as americans we have the biden administration to stop

participating in such reckless rhetorical exchanges and to instead vigorously pursue nuclear arms negotiations with the russian government the call follows a number of recent heated exchanges between the russian and u.s. presidents they included biden recently agreeing an interview putin was quote a killer since entering office in january the new u.s. president has repeatedly said that he would be taking a firmer line with moscow that his predecessor would discuss the issue with daniel bryan who signed the statement. you know the old old game driven by the military industrial complex which is about making profit from a war and the heads of those companies are weapon making companies and you know weapons of war making companies have control 'd of a lot of the people in our congress in both parties and they have enormous power

i think people need to talk about peace and they need to talk about. the end of war no matter who is against we don't live in peace in this world because we have a lot of things we have to do to address other issues that you know are more more. important than war and you know and threatening people and not not being good neighbors. all masks and single use gloves had been saving lives during the pandemic and byron mentalists are worried they may be doing era vocal harm to animals around the globe after being discarded a study in the journal animal biology site examples of fish trap and latex gloves birds untangled and masks and a whole host of animals from monkeys and malaysia to penguins in south america with rubber gloves and their stomachs researchers have been gathering data from veterinarians wildlife groups and trash collectors worldwide we spoke with authors

of the report about the findings. well start of with the find of fish of birds and slept a lot of explosives you're in the canals and every sunday we go out with a team of volunteers to collect a litter to do a cleanup and certainly a volunteer turns to us and said oh i found a glove but there is a fish inside and it will search a strange moment to see this serve little fish and slept in the glove and then you realize like this is very set. very sept ready but hope often does this actually happen and we have no clue so then we started to search for other examples of the impact of our leader on the animal life and actually the reason why the look finds according to the study humanity uses 129000000000 face masks and 65000000000 gloves monthly for example in the u.k. medical p.p.t. items were found that nearly a 3rd of all monitored beaches just 3 months after face coverings became obligatory

there one of the researchers behind the report says it's time government stepped in but we really think the government should step up. using were usable items because it's not taking into account when producing these single use products it's also affecting wildlife that is being illiterate in great amounts that ike we find in the streets in so many so many amounts in large amounts and also in the canals of light and when volunteers clean up working out in just a few kilometers they found over hundreds of these face masks and it's that's yet it's such a big problem that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more head on over to our website r.t. dot com for countless articles and interviews thank you tony. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena befall giant coming to this
