Before you walk through and some diseases that its. Going to make it. Also on the day of russia jumps to 2nd place in the Global League table of confirmed corona virus infections but Many Russians are yearning for the no malice if they knew before the pandemic. Thats easy i think the restrictions should be in place for 3 years why not make it 5 there just messing people around. Look around people are out on the streets anyway no matter what restrictions there are. No u. S. President of donald trump has weighed into the route between electric car maker tesla california county authorities refusing to that its front treat reopened because of a pandemic the president has tweeted that california should allow the plant to reopen now and that it could be done quickly and safely as well as outspoken c. E. O. Even the mosque has announced that the production the companys only u. S. Factory would resume regardless of local lockdown orders. D. W. Reporter Rebecca Ritters has been looking into the story you know for us welcome rebecca bring us up to speed or sell it on mask has been in a standoff with all sarkies about the lock down version so weeks now hes been pushing them to be able to open his fremont factory in Northern California which has been closed since march 23rd now on monday he tweeted that tesla would be resuming production he wrote tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules will be on the line with everyone else if anyone is arrested i ask that it only be made now it has reopened now the car parks full and as we saw earlier weve been weve been hearing from people returning to work it employs around about 10000 people and some of the employees told local media on the grounds that theyve actually been there since friday so this is definitely happening or has happened is past tense now california state law can issue fines of up to a 1000 us Dollars Per Day or up to 90 days in jail but despite musk sort of you know almost torn. Thing for rest in that tweet there it doesnt look like any will be made theres been back and forth for a month police said that they dont intend to arrest anyone the Authorities Say its up to the police now we just heard. Donald trump chime in as well so this tit for tat is just escalating and tesla itself is suing the county yeah thats right on the over the weekend has a filed a lawsuit against the county seeking injunction against that order to stay shots but the county has deemed the factory nonessential business so this sang that they dont have the right to open now he got his sums out again over the weekend and on twitter. Threaten to move its headquarters completely out of california to either texas or nevada made it lee and suggested there it is the tweet that he might he might take all manufacturing out of california which would be of course a huge blow to the economy and its important to point out here that mosques most recent grievances stem from the fact of where the factory is located its in a part of california that has stricter rules than the rest of the state last week the governor of california devaneys them did announce rules to allow some manufacturers to reopen but county law supersedes state law when the law is a strict so thats what musk is really countering here so besides this particular drama around his factorial most cars being quite vocal about coronavirus restrictions in general yeah he has hes really made his opinion very known and hes probably one of the most high profile people in the u. S. To be playing down the seriousness of the coronavirus hes got an audience of 34000000 people on twitter so hes got quite quite an audience there and at one point early on the pandemic he called it dumb with no further explanation he also tweeted that kids are essentially immune to the corona virus then he tweeted a link to you tube video recently that. Just of that quarantines reduce immunity to the virus that video is actually since been taken down for violating the terms and conditions of future but you know its very clear what musks opinion is of the crisis so itll be very much interesting to watch what happens next i cant tell you how this is going to end but i can definitely tell you that this is not the last of it did we reported rebecca recently thank you. But russia has begun to ease its lockdown despite a surge in corona virus infections the country now has more than 230000 cases 2nd only to be United States and today by the mere putin spokesman was hospitalized with covered 90 days by the rising tide of cases president putin is going ahead with his plan to roll back restrictions across the country but hard hit moscow has introduced new rules for people not have to wear gloves and masks in supermarkets as well as in taxes and on public transport to w. s emery showing reports. That no entry without gloves and a mask employees here tell people. The mini market in the center of moscow is sticking to the citys new rules despite a huge drop in profits due to lock down measures the store can now only let people wearing protective gear shop. Research when environment we all know that these are precautionary measures that people are unhappy about them its hard to find gloves and masks at the pharmacy at the moment otherwise we would give them out to people so that they could buy things at our store. Restaurants and nonessential Stores Remain closed in the capital but construction work has now we started the author worries have said that workers arent at risk of infecting the public. On monday president Vladimir Putin announced an official end to the socalled nonworking period in russia allowing a gradual easing of the lockdown across the country. Again. Based on an analysis of the situation and on the opinion of the chief medical officers the heads of each individual region will decide what restrictive and preventative measures should be in place and on how and in what order they can be gradually eased or maintained the use of could in yours. Moscow has been the hardest hit by the coronavirus over half of russias cases are in the capital but the lockdown is also a huge blow to russias economy and that is the main worry for many people now. Know you have the most to you i dont think its too early to come out of lockdown most people dont have any savings and people need something to live on a way to feed their family and pay their rent. And that thats a thing the restrictions should be in place for 3 years why not make it 5 there just messing people around the barcode conflict around people who are out on the streets anyway no matter what restrictions there are. Political analysts argue that the kremlins decision to ease restrictions is politically motivated as surveys show trust and blood in their putin has fallen to new lows. The main reason for these changes is that russia doesnt want to fall behind the west many European Countries have already started coming out of core until theyve been successful in their battle against the pandemic things are going back to normal there putin knows that if he falls behind he will lose out when it comes to Public Opinion in russia. Meanwhile off shore it is in the capital have been frantically working to expand the number of beds for cover 1000 patients turning buildings like this Exhibition Center into temporary hospitals after all thousands of new cases are still being reported in russia every day. And the other fix is Program Director for International Affairs at the Cobra Foundation and specializes in russia European Security and Eastern Europe welcome to day w. Can we start with one of those final points in that report of russia easing this lockdown despite a catastrophic situation that shows no sign of easing is it your belief that this is about keeping up with the west. Well russia is indeed overtaken a European Countries when it comes to the numbers of infected people but it is still behind the United States but russia is many other countries has suffered significantly economy with regards to the economy so i think this is by either one of the main reasons and we extra week of lockdown is a heavy toll on the western economy the Economy Economic activity has decreased by 33 percent tax of in use have increased by one 3rd in the last month. So this is an additional measure to try to bring the russian economy back on track ok so like the rest of the world theyre kind of nice being hit hard what sort of Government Intervention has there been to help people who have been laid off and companies that have been have closed as weve seen in europe and the United States. You know actually have about a modest response when it comes to the economic support package so there have been measures like interest free loans they have also been state payments for companies to keep their workforce theres also been support announced for airlines for regional budgets the list with this is democrat the wave of and businesses that should be supported but many have criticized that these measures have come too late in these measures too little too late and compared with other European Countries the support package of russia has been significantly lower. And so what is the thinking there on the streets in russia do people believe that the president is handling this crisis well. There has been a poll about 2 weeks ago by the independently by the baddest center and this is 2 weeks ago when the numbers were still low there the opinion poll was divided half were satisfied with the measures half were not satisfied with the measures what is interesting however is that satisfaction with Regional Governors or mayors was higher than with the federal it is this is also one of the reasons is that the federal government and especially the russian president have withdrawn in the describers and have left the stage to the Regional Governors to undertake significant measures doing the pandemic so given the president a sort of withdrawn from the public is there any likelihood of his position being challenged in the course of this crisis. But there have been at the voices that have emerged for instance the mayor of moscow all of a say this will be i mean this played a significant well he has been one of the 1st to impose significant was triptans in moscow over to says of course not an opposition boy is that when it comes to a position politically this was an exam only he was criticize the government for the handling of this crisis that he has a much lower reach in the public. Before the pandemic hit Vladimir Putin had started to implement changes that would allow him to stay in power after as president after his present term ends in 2024 how does this crisis affected that project. Well the last step in this project was to be in nation wide vote that should add additional legitimacy for this project of constitutional changes changes to keep the russian president of power at least to give him the possibility to we main in power this nation of boat has been postponed but it has not been cancelled so this will certainly not the end of this attempt of constitutional changes to keep the president in power at the moment the main priority is however to avoid a further drop in trust and Approval Ratings for the president and for him not to be identified with the crisis that is also why he is rather in the back wound leaving the stage for other we general actors in russia at the moment to handle this quest i say thank you good talking to me on a fix from the foundation thank you. So until theres a covered 1000. 00 vaccine people around the world are looking for ways to protect themselves but what if one of those ways involves an addictive substance scientists in paris are researching whether nicotine can stop people contracting the disease at the w. s go gratis reports. Take a deep breath to get ready for whats coming next before covered 19 francis reputation as a land of heavy smokers sparked only negative headlines but in the middle of the Coronavirus Crisis the fact that more than a 3rd of french people smoke like doctors to discover something they found hard to believe every morning i was a i was. Looking whether the patient well or not smoker and then i have seen that we have got really no. Your instructors in. The professors hypothesis is that smoking could protect against covered 19 he teamed up with one of frances leading neuroscientists who suspects nicotine might help prevent coronavirus from invading the body but just i mean my life which is there all night. That ca you know a few weeks we were able to build up yeah but it is. Happy to accept and the French Academy of science and again it may take a few weeks we are right on Clinical Trials where both Health Workers and cover 1000 patients will wear nicotine patches have been approved at record speed the french authorities also follow the researchers that vice tourists sales of Nicotine Products and pharmacies to stop people from stockpiling patches and gum. If trials are successful that would undermine the current World Health Organizations advice that smoking likely makes people more vulnerable to cover at 19. The french doctors say nobody wants to believe them so does that include the w. H. O. What do you make of these findings. Covert 1000 is a respiratory illness and smoking causes damage to the longest and there are a number of studies out there that have been published that have found that smoking leads to more severe Disease Development of severe disease and puts people at higher risk for being put on a ventilator being in i. C. U. And for dying the w. H. O. Also warns that increased contact between lips and fingers while smoking or even sharing a cup are coproduct is an additional infection risk. The paris based scientists do not recommend taking up smoking. Its not smoking because smoking is getting in fancy about 70000 people now yeah even more than that it will be 90. The scientists in paris are working day and night as well as looking at nicotine they are exploring alternatives which would not be addictive. Or we are trying to design a study reason one of these compounds is still confidential and horrible. And we know that this compound. Effect thats what the nicotine patches dont try this at home the Team Strongly warns against self medicating and unless the trials come up with definitive proof hopes of a new coronavirus treatment could still go up in smoke. But you take a closer look at this with dr mckay results neurobiologist at the university of medina in italy hes also been researching possible links between tobacco and covered 19 treatments welcome to the doubling what do you think of this french study. I think that the old ukulele dance concerning smoking. Patients or if youre going to cover evidence is rather strong. Friendship in the knowledge needed research that showed a rather low incidence of percentage of smokers in could 19 patients but the if you look back to other putumayo tical studies you find that everywhere in the world smokers are not many in among the patients i say i do think. Do you think it makes sense to us to begin this sort of investigation with nicotine as a potential lifesaver rather than any of the other cocktail of chemicals that are ingested when people smoke. Its a reasonable guess because. There are a lot of compounds in smoke there are Something Like 5000. 00 compounds in his mug but among them and he could be in the certainly active hes in high concentration and its already known that he does a lot of effects on the body and among them one is very interesting in this context because it. Until inflammatory as in the form of their effect and so. Hes already used the some disease in some. Of the disease as a drug and also some other diseases there are trials showing that can be protective so its not by itself very strange that nicotine can have the kind of action ok so thats the best potential here for dangerous and confusing a messaging being sent out to the public that smoking might help fight covered 19. Of course yes thats the real them thats a real danger because also said. About this. Just to members of the very easy to understand you need to be we had Something Like 30000 deaths for d. D. And we have every year 80000 that were smoking so. Its not by itself a therapy to some thinking smoking could be. But it could be over not smoking. Ok good talking to you thank you so much for joining us dr mchale is only from the university of medina thank you.
