Organization. For me this is just a few manatee already we are for wind damage the most important lesson for us is to rebuild the Health Care System. Good evening youre watching international i will start with an update on the figures because across the globe more than 650000 cases of cope with 19 have now been confirmed that is up to 20 percent in the last 24 hours or so 139000. 00 have recovered in total but over 30000. 00 people have now died from the outbreak. Well the British Government is ramping up its efforts to contain the virus police have been given new powers in the using drones to make sure the citizens do stick to the rules and stay at home. And this is a video message that was posted by police in the county of darbyshire in the u. K. It does people to avoid all nonessential movement and that includes walking the dog in the Peak District or going for a long walk and instagram is were singled out to you they been told not to get out of their way to get a good selfie because governments around the world do you come up with new ways of fighting the pandemic wrath is that things could never go back to normal but it can see it looks now at how the global lockdown could change our lives forever. This pandemic will and already is changing us society i dont mean the economy or social distancing i mean privacy our freedoms these are now a danger to our health this isnt about judgment condemnation or endorsement this is a Global Health crisis many lives are at stake and desperate times call for Desperate Measures but look and see whats happening before our very own eyes troops and Armored Vehicles in the streets of western cities drones patrolling cities and ordering civilians to return to their homes. I. Shouldnt wide lock downs police and troops detaining civilians for violating curfews a lot in the middle east or china but in europe and italy alone more than our 100000. 00 people have been charged for violating the law act out droom smaller of the citizens. From above where they walk their dogs where they park where they congregate robots robots patrolled streets governments telling neighbors and friends and family to report each other if they find out someone violated quarantine we have created an online reporting portal where people can submit a form to advise of and a gathering that are not in it here is with the guidance and easy to demand on one on one all of this was completely unimaginable a few months ago but its all about stopping the virus at whatever cost in the fight against this sanitary crisis it is paramount that we anticipate the spread of the pandemic and its likely peak in each country in israel they started tracking peoples movements with their phones to catch those violating quarantine or to warn people whove been me as someone who was infected in america in europe in russia theyre talking about doing the same thing mobile phones have been turned into tracking devices for our own good they say its hard to argue with that and personally for the duration of the crisis i dont mind my question isnt when this will end this total control my question is will it head and the European Data protection supervisor often stresses that such developments usually do not contain the possibility to step back when the emergencies go how often the governments or police give up powers you dont need me to answer that you know full well yourself were all afraid were all confused and worried for our loved ones fear has gripped world our society because of that we have given up without complaint our freedoms to our governments for our own good im not here to judge im only stating the obvious with the hope that when this nightmare is over and that fear passes will get our freedoms back. The 1st royal has died from the outbreak princess reiterates respect in lost her life on friday her brother has confirmed she was 86 years old more than 800 code victims in spain have died in the last 24 hours alone bringing the countrys toll to more than 5000 and the country worst hit in europe is this early and it recorded more than 900 deaths from the virus on friday that is the highest figure since the start of the outbreak hospitals are under great strain there is admissions to continue to saw an intensive care unit in the northern italian city of brescia is now running at 5 times capacity we heard from a doctor there did tell us that medics are having to improvise to save lives just get out of the. Hospitals at the forefront of many aspects of treatment and intensive therapy we have suddenly found ourselves having to invent new treatments and use new machinery that we would have never used in normal condition about 2 thirds of the patients spend a long period in intensive care. The number of beds has to be consciously increased because there are always more people coming in than being destroyed i spent 13 to 14 hours a day here at the hospital my colleagues have triple their duties and are working night shifts to cope with the influx of patients. Meanwhile self isolation has become a new norm for millions of people who are now working from home however for most Blue Collar Workers that simply isnt an option and that includes Delivery Services unions in europe and theyre raising concerns though about their safety in charlotte reports. Just a few weeks ago they were deemed unskilled workers im talking about the people who stack supermarket shelves or deliver our groceries books clothes and gadgets now its covert 900 forces us to hunker down in our homes they have become alongside Health Professionals some of the most essential workers of our time without those people we wouldnt be able to run as a nation we wouldnt have an economy and people wont be able to cook food on the table we just various clutches tissue. Rolls of toilet rolls weve always done. In getting these products out. Just like doctors and nurses who are fighting a war against this virus delivery drivers are also putting themselves on the front line and potentially at risk of be lying if i wasnt if i was saying that it wasnt panic especially with everything thats going on in the media well weve obviously implemented a lot of protective measures and social distancing to make sure that theyre not as much with some minimized as these new key workers are ensuring essential earned and non essential deliveries many of those who once considered important stock at home either an able to be economically active or at best working remotely the french and British Governments are amongst those that have offered to cover a significant proportion of their wages to people who cant be in their place of work during the lockdown unions warned that this led to a feeling of inequality. There is an impression of an equality between blue and white Collar Workers. Truck drivers delivery and postal workers those in trade and management many employees are in the front line mostly women and the working class and like the executives who shuddered when they didnt leave for their holiday homes this is causing more and more anger theres also concern that remote work is only possible if youre a socalled white Collar Worker so if you tend ball work as a salesperson in a closed shop its pretty impossible right now to continue that type of employment these roles are often based on short term always 0 hours contracts meaning employers dont have to keep the morning when they need to tighten their belts the Current Crisis is perhaps only highlighting this divine right and if in the coming months old world starts to return to some semblance of what we need lets not forget that in our time of need it was the low paid the manual workers that we were low in tone and without the heroes delivering all good so keeping our supermarket shelves stocked we would have been lost. For r. T. In paris we got reaction to this story from a political commentator. And also from the market analyst craig. Big really is a test to to our enemies and throw away were seeing how this in the next few months this is an obviously an artist in the situation room and we are facing like this for a long long time its the whole chain of business which is really really vulnerable to these kinds of shocks and the longer they become i dont find out ive gotten better at it because the fundamental way youre working means to go on same way and hopefully governments can come together to support their better citizens for the next few months or years and right now through this pandemic what were seeing is one of the benefits of being a white Collar Worker is that in many cases and now its not all cases but in many cases the ability to work from home is much easier than maybe even the offices previously envisaged we have now that weve been forced into the situation what were learning the more i think what to continue to learn over the coming weeks is one shot the infrastructure in place at home and now many people will have the infrastructure in place its actually much more simple than what we previously envisaged. Now here in russia a 5th coronavirus patient has died and there are more than 1200 confirmed cases but despite the rising numbers there is some potential light at the end of the tunnel because the World Health Organization has agreed the russian government says the outbreak could start to subside as early as may be russian Officials Say that they do think that anti malaria drugs could potentially help the treatment of covert 19 but more research is needed well to help contain the spread of the virus starting from this weekend restaurants cafes and shops are closing their doors only supermarkets and pharmacies remain open although deliveries of food and other items are still permitted there are no restrictions on people going outside yet but public parks have been shut. Has been active on the streets of moscow. Its no we cant dance its this countrys turn the people have been calling the measures that have been announced quarantine all kinds of places from restaurants to germs are shut down but theres been no formal ban on people leaving their homes unless theyre over 65 years old the weather is beautiful its a fantastic weekend and usually all the people would be out. Thats why i want to check out a few cases see whats gone on. These places take quarantine commitment score. So i start my tour around moscows most popular spots with remember the scorpions song for the most down to gorky park thats right. Gorky park here it is. Officially it is shut down but there are a couple of beautiful prominence but outside it and i can tell you that i only see 2 people here so i give it not out of 10 for its location quarantine commitment score. Moscow theres a whole new place for selfies with the kremlin in the background its called the soaring bridge. Where approaching it right now you can see it over there and its completely deserted no axis and ive been told that technically its part of a park thats also closed so like i said access restricted no people 10 out of 10. Were all nikolsk is treat this place was a magnet for football fans from all over the planet during the world cup 28 saying it literally felt like a tin of sardines and here. Well at this point as you can see i wouldnt say that a holy cow heard one or 2 passers by the restaurants are closed but there you havent so probably id say 5 out of 10. Were at a place called the depo food mall which is a combination of a food market and a food court this as hip complex is also full of. Fancy bars that even night clubs and soul not used to seeing this place almost completely empty actually i was sure that id see some hipsters just trying to hang around here even outside arent it turns out that the food part is actually operating because it counts as groceries but other than that everything shut down and i dont see anyone here pretty much so just for the publics responsibility i guess this place gets 10 out of 10 but of course i guess its a bit of a hard time for the market traders youre trying on the streets of moscow now while the capital has the largest number of coronavirus cases in russia the government is taking measures nationwide with construction of new Health Facilities including this one in nice new city in the west of the country officials to say will be ready in less than a months time to cope with a possible influx of coronavirus patients 15 similar hospitals have been built across the nation the government has already allocated they say and supplies to each one we discuss the pandemic russias response to the need is the countrys top pediatric surgeon and also an expert at the World Health Organization. You know if youre curious too sure humanity has endured other terrible epidemics both the plague and cholera before this one weve had 3 other types of corona virus this is another one and will not last forever this is a new virus it will also pass but with was lost this is the question. With. The hype the fear mongering for russia and for size is not very relevant the situation in russia is not so tragic the media will not be able to ask collate the cas to russias i supported the measures if a quarantine was imposed factories and transport would stop and this would cause a collapse that is worse than the wireless. Didnt or that you know im not a fortune teller in a best case 2 or 3 months. It is for me this is a test a few manatee are ready we are for up and down economy if i were an examiner looking at what is happening in need to leave spain and other countries i would give a c. Minus great the most important lesson for us is to rebuild the Healthcare System we must be prepared for serious disasters we must be prepared for serious pandemics we must be prepared for serious terrorist attacks we must be prepared for everything and above all our Health Care System must be prepared. So if they come we speak to the a strike on t. V. Star his call for more testing has Health Professionals demanding hes now putting charge of the response stick with 19 well have a look at that in a couple of. Problem with having too many claims of gold is really hitting the markets in a serious way people want their gold now because they realize that the money world is collapsing and then they go to get their gold and these exchanges where the. B. M. A. Are saying no we dont have the gold actually. Here and so thats causing people to pay their gold even more than all the countries that have repatriated their gold ever since we told germany that they dont even have the gold on their own soil then they repatriated their gold now Everyone Wants to repatriate they want their gold back and style the physical price of gold is now zooming higher and the paper price soon will become a meaningless price. The Atlantic Alliance the bedrock of the post world war 2 Global Security order is slowly but surely unraveling more and more often washington in brussels by virtue of important Foreign Policy issues today europe has the choice to defend its interests or fade into oblivion. Again has increased its testing for corona virus soft widespread criticism authorities had previously only checked those arriving from abroad and those whove been in contact with them 14 have died from the virus in the country with fans infected 190000 strides have been tested for the disease but thats not enough according to a high profile doctor and t. V. Star dr norman swan told the a. B. C. Network far more checks when they did and he won the support to views and Health Professionals and i want him to link the fight against the outbreak. Im a doctor and would like dr norman swan to be the countrys Health Spokesperson during this crisis australia would have a fighting chance if norman swan was the chief medical officer nonpartisan no fluff qualified respected and well known the winner tonight is dr norman swan those are our australia as hes not our chief medical officer but we spoke to dr swan who gave us his take on his countrys response and also the publics call for him to take charge. Why would they want to condemn me to be the chief medical officer of the last drop in the world i want you know chief medical officers whether its in russia or its a thankless task there are no easy decisions where we realized that there was a vacuum of information where the public really who were frightened and confused and unfortunately here they werent necessarily getting all the information they felt we needed we didnt and we didnt understand that of the time ive been a broadcast journalist in health for a long time so we thought we provide this service and simply answer peoples questions and give them the latest research its still relatively low numbers when you think about whats going on in italy in america and other places but its not good are doubling rate thats how how long it takes for 2000 to become 4000. 00 cases is its shortening so its down to 2 days we havent been as good as your ports in the street and finding people weve done a ban we reduced the number of cases by putting a band very early on in china but we were too late put a ban on the United States and thats made it very difficult and so the next phase here mystery has to be with the government hasnt quite got there yet to really expand testing to look for people who may have the virus but dont know it but elsewhere the pandemic is starting to take hold in the palestinian territories and doctors in gaza have warned of an impending catastrophe Health Services there in the clip to come after years of living under the israeli Blockade Force there is this report. Im standing at the checkpoint yet between jerusalem and the occupied west bank city of bethlehem every day until recently thousands of crowds would queue here the large crowds the poor ventilation was the perfect opportunity for the coronavirus to sprayed the israeli army is now closing all checkpoints and at the same time its tossed the police with trying to stop. The spread of the virus however in the case of gaza people they will find themselves trapped in a dainty populated strip with a fragile Health Care System which according to the United Nations has been crumbling away before the pandemic but. The gaza and the west bank are fragile areas due to the continuous siege there has been deteriorating all our medical capabilities for the 14th year in a row its meant the gaza strip has lost all its basic facilities which provide health and Human Interest and thats the condition in which today were facing this virus and we wont be able to fight this problem if we dont receive significant need for the Health Sector and especially medical supplies and i see youth is doing he said the World Health Organization which visited gaza this week also gave its verdict the strips failing Health Care System will not be able to deal with a pandemic or law rather even superpowers couldnt control these waters not to mention the high density of population here which can lead to severe escalation of the pandemic so. That the situation here now is harder than during any war we had before and weve witnessed 3 of them that this scenario is definitely worse. We ask all concerned countries to show a bit of humanity and stand with us we dont have enough money to buy those masks we buy only 1. 00 per day and even this not everybody can afford 100. 00 most people can only buy food and most of the youths are unemployed despite this so far as hes in gaza are trying to be prepared for whatever is coming they are building a Quarantine Center to host up to 500 people while issue factory in the west bank has now switched to making medical mosques its reportedly the only place in the area that produces the vital protection israel also apparently understands the severity of the problem is they will deliberate hundreds of medical kits to the enabling observation of the virus also there are joint and professional middle. The workshops participated both by israeli and palestinian medical staffs where they were given the knowledge regarding the virus and probert who was in dealing with it but with a population of more than 2000000 people its clearly not enough and Guard Service calling for the United Nations and International Community to provide it with urgent aid to battle the crisis in 2013 the american pluck best world war z. It predicted that a common enemy a zombie plague would force israelis and palestinians to unite and end the decades long conflict it remains to be seen with a conflict 19 can do the same. R t m checkpoint where we have asked israeli authorities to comment on the situation although so far we havent had a reply journalist given levy says the israelis are now getting a taste of what life is like and many palestinians for many years israel is heard about their reality of kofu heard about the reality in which people move from one place to the other heard about petro a pet or soft soldiers and policemen in villages in streets in cities but theyve never experienced it and now all of a sudden its becoming reality in our hometowns in our cities in our villages what we are doing to the palestinians fought over 50 years now is becoming grid. Our reality it is the only one comparable because what they face in routine is still 100 times worse than what we are facing in our closure but i hope that some israelis will make their miller g. And remember that we are doing it for so many years the palestinians maybe now we understand a little bit more about the situation. Washington international thats how the news is looking so far were back again at the top of the.
