Late. Hello there this is out International Live from moscow its just turned 11 am here this monday well welcome to the program we were slightly new show julian place for the time being for you im kevin 0 in with my colleagues will be here with you every time every day at the same time to bring you the latest headlines in a full 30 minute news wrap so lets begin shall we and 1st new measures are being implemented across the Moscow Region to contain the spread of covert 19 residents aged over 65 and people with Chronic Health conditions are being advised to stay at home russia says there are 438 known infections nationwide but there have been 71 new cases in the past 24 hours all of them here in moscow our Senior CorrespondentLourdes Garcia of this morning takes a look at whether the numbers are on the optimistic side or not. How ohio how of this too few infected in russia why hasnt the pandemic hes russia why arent there more infected and that is a question you hear more and more often in the western press pundits are busily with disappointment the how is relatively simple its action world c. N. N. And others were busy Bashing Trump for his racist policies and restricting air travel with china russia shut to the its entire board of thousands and thousands of kilometers without no frills while western leaders politicians were busy shooting their Business Leaders and cooper and bosses russia established quarantine and he would arrive in the country was self isolated at home and test russia has conducted 156000 coronavirus tests the United States up until march conducted just poor 1000. Instead they have grasped at straws cited fringe opposition and conspiracy theories that allege a widespread cover up of putins machinations that putin is hiding the true infection rate well even the World Health Organization has denied these rumors i am 99. 99 percent sure i get there are no hidden cases i dont think that air recurrence see some cases where people have not come forward because they didnt want to self isolation but breaking through the network that catch. And understand and advise such cases must really were while russia has been fortunate soufan few expect the pandemic to completely pot. Russia by hospitals and clinics are increasingly being prepared to receive the infected who would in quarantine mode about 60000 people in russia and the quarantine self isolation or the medical observation for most of the surveillance so well done including indeed Community Acquired your morning as we are all other which are all blessed and for all that i think we would see also have our c. B. S. News or were on our angle that it is because of the rapid structure in russia weve seen an increase a sharp increase in that and finally i can tell you i havent formally you know im say next where are all people i never been in russia youre now or do you know someone who knows someone prison hospital for the hour. And i couldnt find a Single Person who answered that who could have predicted that the sanctions intended to borrow and cripple russia would save it. In these times of worldwide economic recession see the point of those sanctions was to deprive russia of this of dollars in europes looms and financing for the central bank the government or companies and businesses to what russia did was switch to this. The rule of now foreign debt is that the wreck would blow worse or produces almost everything it needs 90 percent of what it needs russia without your culture produces for its not the other needs to china now russia is set up to where the of a stool with the hearth trillion dollar fund that it set up just in case now is that case. Russia will be a bit better off than other can trees because of this experience because of sanctions and because of reserves when the virus threat passes its possible things will come back to life faster in russia than in other countries because they wont be the negative drag of that the end result has been the childes supermarkets and shops are still packed with everything you could ever want while there has been something of a run on supermarkets and shops and hoarding well they still sell toilet paper and plenty of it so not too bad here at the moment at least elsewhere russian medical experts and equipment arrived in italy to try to do their bit to help tackle the coronavirus a break italy is the worlds most badly affected country more than 59000 people have tested positive for covert 19 and over 5400 people have died 9 planes from russia of arrived there with a 100 specialists in virology and epidemiology to work alongside doctors from china and cuba who are already there also on the way we can tell you or 8 mobile medical units as well as other vehicles and equipment it leaves all but ground to a whole list shut down the production of all nonessential goods. Theres a warning that the e. U. Could face Food Shortages if it doesnt do more to fast track the movement of goods and workers farming industry representatives believe the supply chain is at risk after more than a dozen countries tightened or closed their borders given that the agri Food Supply Chain is highly integrated and operating across borders any blocks of supply and workers will inevitably disrupt business our ability to grow food for will depend on the preservation of the e. U. Single markets. Of course the internal borders are usually open and are monitored allowing the under strict to the flow of goods and workers are you leaders are backing a proposal now there to try to launch a fast track said the lanes but have not agreed to keep those internal borders open the Food Industry says that wont be enough and severe disruption should be expected the pan e. U. Trade body of food drink in europe says the industry should be given special status now to keep moving we would very much like the commission to focus on providing green lanes this would enable drink products and also societe products like packaging to be able to go across borders quickly and efficiently to be up to meet their intended markets and at the moment now its not happening there are more delays for many reasons drivers going into corn scene or or delays due to large monk use or even some drivers are being asked for paperwork they didnt know existed if there are 3 shortages of course the public move the lands it is our job to make sure that there will not be serious shortages and weve identified finally Major Pressure points in the food chain where if Member States of the European Union of the European Commission can act and act quickly we believe that we can continue to maintain a steady supply of food and drink people also need to eat and they need drink and so we need special measures for food and drink industry. Francis now suppose 16000 registered cases of the 674 people who died most were over 70 years old the French Parliament declared a Health Emergency on sunday it set to last nerve to months it gives the government more powers during the break including the implementation of restrictive measures support for struggling businesses and the requisition of goods or services from when on lockdown last week to limit the spread of the deadly virus people only allowed to leave their homes for essential trips but officials are still being accused of negligence in their response to the crisis lets go live to paris our correspondent so seeing is this. Real tough times for everybody of course. Everyones finding their way through this nations in france that not enough speaking derm. Thats right as the death rate rises the infection rate goes up here in france we are hearing from french medics that they are unhappy that they feel that not enough was done enough to stop the pandemic here in france theyve actually filed a legal complaint against some of frances talk officials including the Prime Minister and the former Health Minister to sell what they say is that these officials knew as early as january how bad things were going to get and yet they didnt do enough some of the evidence for their complaint comes of an interview with the former Health Minister herself who then talked about France Holding the 1st round of municipal elections just over a week ago and saying it was a masquerade and saying as she stepped down from her job as Health Minister she did so crying because she knew that a tsunami was coming. For the medics has told all to see that the government was simply lying. Enough in the Google Doodle were dealing with the government lets. Lying to us they say well be taking measures and theyll say again we need to do this we need to do that the truth is weve lost the advantage and will struggle to catch back up if you want an example you must remember the president stark speeches last week when he used his warlike tone as commander in chief to convince us that marched will arrive soon because mass are the main tools in this war they help medical workers where are those markets. Well the french government says its doing all it current to handle the crisis in regards to those shortages we have heard from the french Prime Minister edward phillipe requisitions have been made and requested be made to manufacturers and research is to come up with new prototypes for things such as mosques this is more of what he had to say. Because of all see we have asked the ministry of the column in the ministry of defense to find alternatives more precisely to gauge and wide range of industrial activity to some research either to multiply the production lines or to come up with alternatives disposable or usable. Well another accusation from the medics that the lawyers told us about was the lack of testing for code 19 they think that this is a problematic no fault isnt the only country thats been experiencing shortages for the kits to test for the virus and many other countries are experiencing the same shortages that and other medical supplies as well weve been hearing about this over the past few weeks and that is why the current Health Minister says that its just not possible to test everyone. Today we dont test automatically so far we made the choice like most countries and as per the european recommendation to reserve test for the priority members of the public the targeted people are just like in neighboring European Countries those who are most at risk. Well cozied 19 of course is a pandemic across the world and it has been causing panic it self each country is handling this crisis in a different way taking different steps to hold it and it could of course be months before a vaccine is created and approved use in humans and what governments including here in france are doing are trying to handle the crisis in the best way that they see fit and what the french government is probably thinking at this point is that this is the time to come together rather than perhaps file legal complaints such as this indeed i think a lot of people to see behind you is quite a post not of the morning sun shining what would not be busy such a quiet paris charlotte take care and thanks for updating us. Ok so lets look at whats how really us u. S. Lawmakers have failed to pass the Coronavirus Response bill while white House Republicans say it would provide assistance to families and businesses democrats say it doesnt go far enough because it fails to protect Health Workers or people whove lost their jobs because of the pandemic will be a 2nd vote later this month among the most vulnerable americans of those sleeping rough measures like self isolation simply not an option or donald trump plans to deploy the National Guard in 3 states including california to this room your mom charities for the homeless say people on the street need help too. We are not prepared yet for a crisis like this individual who we are doing everything we can but we will be losing precious souls house on the street if we dont take immediate action. California is one of the most affected states for corona virus but also has the countrys highest number of homeless estimated last year to be around 150000 support groups say the squalid conditions many are living in could worsen the spread of the disease. And its not a problem thats restricted to california either europe is thought to have more than 700000 people who are homeless an increase for around 70 percent compared to 10 years ago france is open to self Isolation Centers now which can accommodate up to 300. 00 people while the mayor of london says the city will secure 300. 00 hotel rooms over the self isolation of Homeless People investigative Online News Team at red fish has been hearing the stories of people sleeping rough across europe. Nothing unique but it was the name of a member of the public. In the. Uk id said. Of the angst ridden sifted yards again. The what if there was no finish to go on with yet unknown to me told me that he wasnt going to see this place appointed. On the on the people themselves on the list. Several. Of the many many of. The face. Thank you. So much. To me that maybe. They could tell me how it. Will build i. Think the same bill with the everyday common assumption when i hold. On i tend to do in the past on the. How. So i want to some of. Us understand is a place to escape and those cars will. Get. Up on the side of. This its the old he. Says ill just go see what he did i need to know the fish this is the 50s or else its tough to deal with but isnt this a. Big. A. Deal. From bottoms up on a morning when i hold it in your friendship. Youre watching the live from moscow the times exactly 18 minutes past 11 the morning here while most are happy to help each other through all this and more news were covering for you after the break irans suspicious of americas latest offer of aid well tell you more. As the democrats gear up to officially start their 2020 president ial primary it is fitting to assess Donald Trumps performance in office a report card of sorts where is he kept his promises and where has he come up short will any of this really matter in november. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Go to rio or a little bit messed up by our d. N. A. In some way on over the capri im not sure it isnt such a great thing you know im sure you look better now than when you had hair. Well its nice of you to say so but i do i went there when i was 25 and wasnt so great. Again this is a good morning most countries are taking whatever help they can get as they battled through the worlds worst Public Health crisis in a generation not so random where americas latest offer of aid has been rebuffed by the Supreme Leader who is suspicious of washingtons motives. Because your u. S. Officials have said on a number of occasions that they would be willing to help regarding medical supplies for the coronavirus you yourselves faced with a shortage judging by u. S. Media there are massive shortages you americans are suspected of having created this virus i do not know how real these accusations are limited but still they are circulating so who in their right mind would trust you to bring in medication or your medicine could be a way to spread the virus more you are not trustworthy very well the Iranian HealthMinistry Says the virus is claiming one life every 10 minutes there at the moment more than 1500 have died there over 20000 known infections but the iranian leaders not convinced by this offer from donald trump. If we can help the iranians we have the greatest Health Care Professionals in the world and if we can help the iranians with this problem we are certainly willing to do so we would love to be able to help them and all they have to do is ask. On the saturday to run called on a rainy and living in the u. S. To attempt to send basic medical supplies to their relatives back home and their notify the u. S. State department if they succeed where latest on that is iran says nothing is getting through from Bank Transactions to q. Military in aid even though washington claims that aid is not being restricted by sanctions a middle east expert career told us trumps offer to help is a critical. In principle not its its not forbidden its that its made you can supply are fermats that i can see are not under the u. S. Sanctions but in fact you have your company not for a company sending you since we run what was then reason is very simple because all these Companies Need know whether go or ask permission to the United States if they can do this and if they can send this program to you out and the one that did not want to be subject to. These 3 lives why make it punishment so the best way to avoid these headaches as i may call it its just not to send any medicines to europe and not to do any transactions with iran you kill nuts you cannot transfer any kind of money in the way shape or form from iran to europe or to the United States our vice a versa so this is just the hope is that its best. To you and you not that you winners will do with you as if he just for the enemy has to be to be great and say that we are. Who you are. Used. Were on totally facing our toughest challenge of recent years at the moment because your book such a way through self isolation of pups notice that the Entertainment Industry seem to see this one coming maybe. So i think im dealing with quarantine pretty well i will admit i hit a bit of a low point last night and did a deep dive into the internet and i kept coming across the same question could we have seen this all coming well ill tell you what back in 2011 hollywood was definitely on to something that one or 2 people. Made 60. 6 a 1000000000 where were so the virus originates in china but its transmitted by touch truck scientists a scrabbling to develop a vaccine check points or abandon shops or ransacked and doctors are repeating the same mantras to try and hope the pandemic check check check the average person to use the feeds 3 to 5 times every day between touching or no water fountains and each other to day start working on not touching your face because one main way viruses spread is when you touch your own mouth nose. And the Entertainment Industries if you are a forsyte and we know that the simpsons has developed a reputation for predicting the future like donald trump becoming president the invention of auto correct and smart watches and even and the bo prize winner but hard core fans allow convinced the show anticipated tom hanks is a recent Coronavirus Diagnosis thats on top of another episode where a nation walk into a box sends it to houma and causes an outbreak in springfield.
