Bringing the days biggest news stories this is our international. Lets start with taking a look at the latest figures in the global covert 1000. 00 pandemic more than 735000 cases of now being confirmed globally an increase of around 10 percent over just the last 24 hours more than 34000 people lost their lives and 156000 have recovered half of them in china. Here in moscow and into the 1st day of a citywide partial lockdown it was announced by the met last night people are required to stay at home whenever possible in order to try to prevent the spread of the forests and the reports from the city center. Well for a whole bunch of reasons including early border restrictions testing and quarantine measures for everyone coming into this country and also pure luck the outbreak of covert 19 in this country in this city in particular wasnt as disastrous as in some other places round this world which gave the russian authorities a chance to try and balance between a lighter measures and very strict measures in their attempts to flatten the curb i guess we all know what this phrase means by now in particular the mayor of moscow the capital in this countrys biggest city and also the city with the most coronavirus cases announced late on sunday night that from that point moscow is going to be in full self isolation mode and the russian Prime Minister me followed up on that this morning because some of the self isolation rules apply to people of all ages exceptions are for those who require emergency need to get food have to get to work if the work hasnt been stopped by order of the government or have another compelling reason. So let me just explain what complete self isolation means in the case of the russian capital for the people who are in moscow the rules are that they will only be allowed to leave their homes or places where theyre staying only in case of emergency to go to a pharmacy or to get groceries or in case they have to continue working officially unnecessary movement is forbidden but city borders still do remain open people besides this have to keep social distancing everywhere which is 1. 5 meters thats how its been ordered by the government and also compensations have been and now for those who have lost their jobs now as for how all of this is affecting the situation in the streets of the capital i can tell you that there are apps with a score for how busy the roads in moscow are from one to 10 and usually during the morning rush hour it gets to as high as a wall sometimes 67 while at about 10 am on moscow it was 0 so that probably explain it barely saw people in the streets at least and downtown moscow and clearly everything except for government offices police stations medical organizations grocery shops and pharmacies Everything Else is pretty much shut down this is what moscow looks like at this point. Because the trumpets claim that keeping 19 deaths below 100000 in the u. S. Would be a great achievement prison ministration the killed more than 2400. 00 americans. Do you talking about 2200000 deaths 2200000 people from this. And still if we could hold their down as were saying 200000 its a horrible number maybe even less but 2100000 so we have between 10200000. We altogether of done a very good. New yorks by far the worst hit city in the u. S. Accounting for almost half of nationwide infections hospitals overflowing their central park has even been turned into an emergency Field Hospital tents with dozens of beds are being set up it is my guess the of has more. New york city has 7 days left one week before the citys hospitals its medical infrastructure collapse thats the crucial day to think about is sunday april 5th meaning as ive said were getting through this week its tough. We have what we need for next week but it will definitely be a very hard week but after next sunday april 5th is when i get very very worried about everything were going to need the more you read about whats happening in new york the more horrifying it is its out of control and by all accounts all of them its only going to get worse the peak in death rate is likely to hit in 2 weeks so ill say it again the peak the highest point of death rates remember this is likely to head into ics Emergency Services getting more calls now than they did on 911 just let that sink in the city is terrified theyre scared of the virus theyre fearful of how unprepared they are that terrified from a mental standpoint its a serious strain on on us when you mess. Were doing over 6000. 00 calls dearly in the last few days weve done over 44000. 00 calls just to give you some perspective we normally only do about 4000. 00 calls a day and 911. 00 which was the busiest a. T. M. s we did 6000. 300 calls a roughly in the last couple days weve done over 7000 so were. Doing a lot of double ships were very busy running around number one stress isnt that if i can get infected you know we signed up for a job thats dangerous that we know we can be killed in the line of duty we know we can get sick while we take care of others the stress has been that were not able to get tested properly so the city has not provided dedicated test think of 1st responders so the problem with that is we dont know if were bringing it home to have families just look at this in the middle of the pandemic nervous is a protesting that dont be quick to judge. Many of them being sent to the deaths theres not enough mosques theyre being asked to use mosques that are intended only for a few hours then being told to reuse them for days some of them lacking gallons of wearing trash bags trash bags imagine if youre given this and told to use what entire we only hear and over again its extremely difficult when you need what you need to do what you gotta do and you dont have it you have to improvise so some of us. Probably once we come out once you start losing the mask and we dont have it anymore were going to have to with substandard equipment. List we can do better we should be doing better in this state supposed to be the richest country on the planet its unacceptable that nurses should be interesting he should be without the equipment they need god forbid you fall over and break you call an ambulance theyre busy there arent enough they have to go get the guy thats suffocating from pneumonia from a severe coronavirus case you decide to go to the hospital you a self where Emergency Rooms of full of severe coronavirus cases you get infected you talk to a nurse who lacks basic personal Protection Equipment your chances of infection go up they call provide for the nurses and the nurses call and provide for you what happens when we dont have the proper equipment is that we potentially expose ourselves which we have been not only do we expose ourselves but weve been exposing the patients that getting have the virus weve been bringing home to our families and bringing it out into the community this is an on mitigated disaster they they had a choice lead. All of them from china to russia to europe to america the choice was to save business save Bank Accounts keep things open let the infection spread or save lives closed borders closed businesses quarantine it works we know it works and given these 2 choices lives or businesses youd have to go back to the civil war to talk about borders of states like that i think it would paralyze the economy a lockdown is what they did in war on china and were not in china were not in war on new york has made its choice. Who literally has suffered arguably more than any other nation from the cove of 19 pandemic more than 10700 people have lost their lives there the government has warned that a nationwide lockdown will have to be extended for an indefinite period was supposed to end on april the 3rd the authorities are also urging recent graduates to join the ranks of doctors to cope with the continued unplugs of patients the director of a clinic in baghdad most spoke with Ashley Matanzas of going on the ground here in r. T. And she shared her experience of handling the pandemic. We are or arent very much what a day about to the masks we chat impart them to but these vitals is the same says natale s. Trading that to the hair back there also and maybe mainly to distort faces and the contact so is that really important or thought to wash and yet have a can become a vector of design to us and that door i mean in the environment you should look at counties to stop the spread of divide it was good to read a lot of environmental measures to keep oil day places clean and if youre thats that peabody a negative that is that can be negative today maybe you put a cape doubts that came people as if this is what i mean you tell you they decided to test only people we thought maybe if they were developed for different kind of tests that i that he detests which to add that there is as i can wage these might be really helpful why is it were getting reports of younger people now dying of coronavirus if youre going to say because there are people even we deny that a disease is quite like 4550 s saw it and they develop a serious illness that added people we do many diseases say and they dont develop serious illnesses that so. Im not experiencing a clear correlation between there is easy as you are for a. Your genetic condition and the 11 of these that you develop because a squadron of right. To moscow and the surrounding region all restaurants are being close and cents a day to stop the spread of the virus Delivery System permitted and some business is stepping in to provide help where its needed carol reports. In times of crisis you have 2 options you can either panic oh you can think what can i do to support the community now im here to see how it started out as a full suggestion of sending flowers to doctors the nurses and hospitals across the city has spiraled into something of a mission because wallflowers would certainly help boost morale sweaty things like coffee chocolate and other supplies that will keep these came workers go away and it turns out theres plenty of people willing to help with that. Extra pair had a call with my call or heres a doctor i asked him to help you he said ok if you can take part in that probably you can give us some coffee because right now we dont have it and as to see a launch the hash tag fighting together as a way of getting people on board an Online Community of mums who were already sending flowers to doctors and nurses onto the call putting their own concerns and stresses aside to focus on supporting those who need it most. More than a 100 people have responded to oh cool and the donations keep coming and i think everyone who sees our posts cannot stand different and they send money. One local restaurant in moscow also decided to pitch in its a challenging time for businesses with the pandemic putting some at risk of closure and leading to uncertainty about what the future holds but they using this opportunity to turn and negative situation into a positive. It was a bias to doctors and some swedes which are there. Ever any us through improve their moods and so that they know that we support them and really thankful to them now like all of us are in cycles and out they dont have. Instinct to good people are scared and upset and so its also for them its kind of. Emotional. To make some think useful. That were here we have one of the beautiful cookies the doctors the nurses dont have the time to have a sit down meal. Currently the initiative is supplying boxes of snacks and drinks to 2 clinics in mosco but theyre hoping this will follow suit and join the project so that more hospitals in moscow and elsewhere can also benefit everyone can help every little help will count and if we combine all these help together as a community i think this could be a really good thing. Unsurprisingly the goodies are going down well hospital staff have taken to social media to post them messages of gratitude from doctors that are as absolutely amazing because once i saw abound they were so i have just taken this cup of coffee with milk and they was like oh my god is rio is it from people as the saying goes a small circle of kindness can create a big wave and if these little care packages that could make the world of difference for those working around the clock until with during this difficult time. Canada so far suffered less than the United States in the coronavirus pandemic. The country has around 6000 of cases of 65 people dying but nationwide containment measures a severe Economic Impact could lead to a new poll almost half of canadian say that they or someone in their household those last thing come most of them have received no compensation for loss of working hours and a movement called keep your rent is now urging landlords to temporarily stop charging rent for those left out of pocket we spoke with one of the activists im in and out of work carpenter that cant make their rent i live in a neighborhood with thousands of people that are faced with the same situation in a city and a province and a country with millions of people that are facing the same situation we have just seen wide spread loss of jobs increase in costs and yet rent is still due to the overage of coverage 19. 00 this is pushing people over the Tipping Point in a lot of ways so tenants are coming together to organize together and spread the word there are no guarantees ahead of us their number one priority needs to be the safety and security of themselves their families and those around them may need the money that the rules dictate be handed over on the 1st of the month. The keep your rent movement is putting up posters across toronto telling tenants to stop paying also dropping leaflets into letterboxes but landlords are pushing back where i grew a number of tenants who are planning a rent strike this would be catastrophic for landlords who need that money to be able to make their payments rando it again says despite awareness of the rent problem nothing so far is being done. Everyone knows that rent is coming up every tenant every landlord every politician and everyone in the media and there have been no movements if working class tenants keeping what little they have left under these circumstances puts individual landlords in jeopardy those concerns need to be taken up not with tenants but up the line if they have an issue with putting food on their table then they need to make choices and they need to put pressure on their Financial Institutions and on their lenders not on tenets note and created the situation we are simply trying to deal with it.

Indias big cities are usually teeming with Migrant Workers from the countryside but the nation wide lockdown has left millions without work and they are heading home on mass fleets of buses have been provided to get them out of the cities and while frontline medics in india who treat coronavirus patients have now got an extra problem to deal with some of them are reportedly unable to leave the hospitals where they work and theyve been evicted from their homes as landlords fear that they may be infected the government has expressed its concern. Im deeply anguished to see reports that doctors and paramedics are being ostracised in residential complexes and societies these doctors are saving our lives putting their lives at risk their landlords should not do this this is wrong. We spoke with the head of the Doctors Association in india he said that many people have no understanding of how the virus is transmitted.

Board certainly all many people my being real with me one reason why we have locks everyone up in their homes i understand your problems and your frustration but in such a country is india with a population of 1300000000 there was no where the way to fight. The pandemics caused a global shortage of face max face masks and other equipment but there are inventors stepping in to try to tackle the problem details his jacket inverter. Right now the world is facing a completely unprecedented situation and folks are having to adapt fast any and all ideas are on the table because the fact is shortages of essential materials and medical equipment is a global problem shortages are leaving doctors nurses and other frontline workers dangerously ill equipped to care for covert 1000 patients due to limited access to supplies such as gloves medical masks respirators goggles face shield and aprons we have tremendous numbers of ventilators but theres never been an instance like this where no matter what you have its not enough that would be the case and then theres the story of the italian doctor who has now fallen victim to the corona virus who shortly before he died revealed in an interview that doctors on the front lines had run out of protective gloves but desperate times call for Desperate Measures and many people are answering that call take in italy for instance where a start up is making ventilator masks which are urgently needed out of snorkels the focus of you today on a website people can download for free the file we created which will allow everyone around the world to turn a dive a mosque into respect and potentially save lives how about a snood that kills more than 95 percent of viruses including coded 19 yes i said a snood those things that are somewhere between a scarf and a hood might soon be found on millions of n.

This is extremely frustrating to learn how was fully unprepared most governments were for such a catastrophe yeah it is. Theres no chord in asian even prefix to complain about it have told me doctors go to the front without orders and without equal and this is serious we no longer trust the government if governments wanted to secure a supply for Health Care Workers they could have purchased them in bulk when they were Still Available knowing what we know now it makes that all the harder to stomach but its times like this that can bring out the best in people and now that the creative juices are flowing who knows what well see next ok watch out international staying with us ill be back with the latest updates on the pandemic in 30 minutes time. I cant show you my face but im going to tell you my story in 9093 this man was sentenced to death they get charged with capital murder even though he didnt have the gun didnt pull the trigger didnt intend to kill anybody magine living in your bathroom for the week with his son of a 23.

Too many people and too many little Government People for them to tell you that oh come on you can come were going to protect you in your theyre not going to do that. Cold i think if people realize that the government is not going to protect you is not going to save you if something were to happen kind of like changes your your mindset your like cold because i was in the i know how the Government Works and i dont want to put money into that but i dont believe theyre going to protect me when the time comes
