this is. this if you didn't i know every stage of this epidemic we might say to ourselves that we could have done better but we made mistakes this is true. a stark admission of failures in the handling of the coverage crisis by the french president of the country told me 100000 a problem is forced to impose any 3rd national lockdown. also this hour there are fears of a nursing exodus in the u.k. as the poll reveals one in 4 and a child support group is more likely to quit now but in 2020 but many citing exhaustion from the pandemic we speak to one profession or. we've had to leave me is i don't think race but the cost of living has gone up the wages have put that

you criticized so much strikes on the nurses benefit of the government to help increase the why each. and a year of restrictions millions died and the origin of coronavirus is still a mystery after a long awaited w.h.o. report from move home which many questions unanswered we asked a russian expert on not mission why it's taking so long. watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital base and every hour welcome to the program. the french president admits making mistakes throughout the pandemic and a televised address to the nation has announced a 3rd nation wide lockdown as covert cases soar in the country intensive care about ads are filling up and the country's death toll nears 100000 he said the situation left him with no other choice. just. this it did i know that every stage of
8:02 am
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 and the lockdown measures will be extended from 19 areas to all of mainland france from saturday as 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. 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. i say to the government do it now but do it now do it for a shorter time but do it you can see there we were right not to implement a lockdown in france at the end of january because we didn't have the explosion of
8:03 am
cases that every model predicted france's president is without doubt an educated man emanuel macro brew through the country's top institutions before making a mark in both the private or public sector even the playing front says youngest of a president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learned he knew when to take advice need it and 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 cause aids if he wouldn't be declared that he has become an
8:04 am
epidemiologist despite not having a scientific background these claims over. seas on health issues have also rubbed the wrong way. mr 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. in fine heads of states like president mccrone who talks about epidemiology just like we talk about politics when we talk about sculpture or box music but they're not necessarily school to artists or musicians. in britain there are fears of a nursing exodus after a survey revealed that n.h.s. staff are now more likely to quit their jobs citing exhaustion from the pandemic
8:05 am
according to the poll one in 4 and a chest 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 say 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 survey signings but it doesn't surprise me it's what we've had to use it needs increased but. not the cost of living has gone up the wages have increased so much stress on the nurses midwives everyone involved in the question and i think to be honest with the carpet condemn it i think everyone is know how to enough and they need help and i feel the government need to help and increase the way. to get a good environment for everyone british health authorities have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra $29000000000.00 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
8:06 am
pound girl and some people get a 2000 pound grant dependent children or what feels like our in tape but in reality is a chill in the ocean that the increase in childcare costs you know the increasing council tax increase in fuel into placement in my finished year i think it's a defeat back twice. and that should aid in as states that were actually were tightness is at the bank they could have played to say should i go into this position because i haven't rabelais our 2 children and that's why my with my required little what was quite a full time childcare and the other one it just started sco the thought has 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 so that the sorry sorry dr. in all the u.k. sports minister is being lampoon online after he suggested people should avoid hugging them to save lives people took issue with the way he described as off
8:07 am
behavior. despite the temptation pleased. by actually hunting one and risk the spread. of disease the sea somebody's paying him. 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 hugging one another. in other words if you see someone behaving like
8:08 am
a human being and then call them out on it. can he call his many colleagues who have been found guilty of various actions. 'd 'd a long awaited report on the origins of coven 1000 has faced sharp criticism worldwide with some countries saying the investigation wasn't extensive enough as many questions still remain unanswered the director general himself called for further studies after the report was published we got we got a firsthand account of the mission to walk home from a russian member of the team. which will cause our
8:09 am
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
8:10 am
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 but 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 in 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 competent international organizations building from that with their 4 can't say that a lab leak might have been because. we didn't feel any pressure coming from our chinese colleagues actually it wouldn't even be the case i can't think of how they could have put pressure on us we are in
8:11 am
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. on what would have been the point of pressurising as we hardly liaise with officials we were largely in touch with scientists. who think politics and sports shouldn't mix have been taken aback by the u.s. olympic and paralympic committees latest decision it's ok it's certain racial and social justice demonstrations at trials here racial and social justice demonstration is specifically aimed at promoting the human dignity of individuals or groups that have historically been underrepresented minorities to all 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 equality they will also avoid sanctions if they speak up for the rights of minorities feel during the national anthem or hold up their fist on the podium making
8:12 am
a political statements and sports has long been controversial for instance in 2016 england's national football team was slapped with a 35000 pounds fine by fifa for wearing remember the state poppies in 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 columnists more. i love single t.v. this has been very rote saw through and i spoke with us as. did to infuse an obsessive house where some of us who were there is a star and those people who are very very fortunate he lost use of color say although there are people who are already from this. name names there so who are benefiting from this by being raised. or being very well
8:13 am
they are you know just cider skewed or getting around to date are told this early should be losing out for example dogs guns instead are being rehabilitated and given a voice so that is where she is to be honest and this. boat who's joined in our. georgian hospitality it 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 arrival on mir posner had gone to georgia to celebrate his 87th birthday. right. today. as you just saw eggs were thrown and whistles were blown as protesters gathered outside but they took exception to previous comments he's made about the 2 republics and south ossetia which have been long engaged in
8:14 am
a long running dispute with georgia clashes with police ensued when protesters trying to enter the hotel they claimed the russian house 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. our 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 territory is sovereign states. still have vaccine passports and mask mandates are the latest bones of contention between democrats and republicans in the u.s. that story in poll after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in
8:15 am
a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by the way. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. all of the information in the world when you put it together and prosecute simultaneously it adds up to 0 it adds up to nothing all deal luzhin a differentiation will be obliterated the illusion of making a profit will be obliterated because we're entering into
8:16 am
a period called the singularity. welcome back to the program the founder of my cause 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 of our mask mandates and vaccine passports are often looks at the latest. 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 aidid 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
8:17 am
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 but sense that his image has significantly faded
8:18 am
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 fair. to me 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 man day now at this point 16 states have either lifted their mask mandate or never had one to begin with and now joe biden is urging them to reinstate it as there's
8:19 am
a surge of cases i'm reiterating my call for every governor mare and local leader to maintain and really state to match men. please 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 the new. norm who 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 bike 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 been arranged feeling i have you
8:20 am
know we have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope 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 society to further polarize ideally i mean would be great if politicians focused on something other than creating political division and advancing special interests and the like but they don't. 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 in place to go back to complete normalcy to you
8:21 am
know pretty coronavirus type behavior i don't see there is bet 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 krone virus they've just been lying to the american people about a lot president biden may have said diplomacy is back on taking office but it seems a number of us are as ations disagree 27 have signed a joint letter to the present urging him to step back from his tough talk on russia 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. this follows
8:22 am
a number of recent heated exchanges between the russian and u.s. presidents and included at biden recently agreeing an interview that putin was quote a killer since entering office in january the new us president has repeatedly said that he would be taking a firmer alignment with moscow that his predecessor would discuss the issue with an o'brien who himself signed a statement. you know the old you're old again 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
8:23 am
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 mouth and single use gloves have been saving lives during the pandemic environmentalist are worried they may be doing a revokable harm to animals around the globe after being discarded a study in the journal animal biology science examples of fish trap and latex gloves birds untangled and masks and a whole host of animals from monkeys in malaysia to penguins and south america with rubber gloves and their stomachs the researchers have been gathering data from veterinarians wildlife groups and trash collectors worldwide we spoke with one of the authors of the report about the findings. all started with the find of a fish a berks and slept a lot of explosives here in the canals and every sunday we go out with
8:24 am
a team of volunteers to collect a litter to do a cleanup and suddenly a volunteer it turns to us and said oh i found a glove but there is a fish inside and it was such 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 litter on the animal life and actually the reason why the look finds according to the study humanity uses 129000000000 facemasks and 65000000000 gloves a monthly for example in the u.k. at medical p.p.t. items were found at nearly a 3rd of all monitored beaches just 3 months after face coverings became obligatory there another one of the researchers behind the report told us it's time governments took action we really think the government should step up to really
8:25 am
encourage. using where 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 work in aus and 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 when your global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had tar website r.t. dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more.
8:26 am
as an individual committed a crime so used to be an international community a crime. even 2 years later when that individual is 40 are you still punishing the person who committed the crime. is the person being punished for something that they were a completely different person at the time one doesn't expire one is a person's actions no longer the need to judge them for us and every day basis. by the pandemic no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. as american targets are really we don't have the facts in the whole world needs to
8:27 am
be. judged as comedy crisis with this system to in modern times we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. right.
