International thanks for joining us. Lets start with the latest figures on the covert 19 pandemic more than 800000 cases of now being confirmed globally an increase of 9 percent in the last 24 hours or than 38000. 00 people have lost their lives 172000 have recovered. The Global Movement is gathering pace calling on landlords to stop charging rent for housing during the Ongoing Health crisis and one multibillion euro firm has latched on to the idea how did ask is refusing to pay rent on its stores in germany because of the current lockdown politicians a furious into other explains. A stay at home to save lives is being the all encompassing mantra of this pandemic but for those that cant work from home well it has meant losing their jobs for some than having to rely on state benefits for one of the Worlds Largest sports money factures its made them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores theyve been forced to close off what adi das is done and its drawing fire from the German Government its indecent and then acceptable if financially strong firms now just stop paying their rents the brand paid for their 3 strike design made over 3000000000. 00 in profits last year and theyre being accused of trying to save a quick buck in times of crisis with so many european leaders saying theyre not going to buy the dust products ever again added us responded by saying they werent the only ones but that appropriate arrangements had been made and that smaller landlords would get their money theyre not the only ones to be sure clothing giant h. And m. As well as german giant stores like soft or medium are have also announced that they would be either suspending all delaying the pagan reds in the future by the way these are the last pair vida to swivel by such a shame that a Global Corporation with 3200000000 in profits in 2019 is exploiting in all protecting tenants existence. But what about the private renter and landlord slightly more than half of the people in germany on the whole last week the German Government promised well over 800000000000 euro in emergency funds to tackle the financial fallout from corona virus one of the big pieces of legislation is that all the victims will be suspended from april until september of this year with the option of actually extending not until july of 2021 something which is please do unions politicians must send a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlords is well a little off in the air renters must pay if they can but what happens when or if they cant thats one charted territory one would presume that it falls to loans of some kind from the hundreds of billions that have been put forward by anglo merkels government but just how one goes about getting all of these loans how much will be made available nobody really knows just yet what were seeing is that as governments are trying to stop the actual spread of the coronavirus theyre also trying to insulate business and Financial Systems from infection of their own kind peter all of a party girl in. Many governments around the world are now faced with a tradeoff between saving their economies and stopping the virus and as arties round goes the of reports finding a good outcome is almost impossible. Whatever they do there is theres going to be people who when the dust settles who come out and say what if we had done things differently and the only oncet for that will be that there was no good choice the answer why some tools to quarantine and some tools to keep society of business who put these cool cool math we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem i dont want to see it id like to avoid it but i wouldnt be surprised if we saw 100000 deaths let me explain the 2 different approaches the countries are taking the 1st one the lock down these clues will business to introduce quarantine shut everything down and limit the spread of the infection the 2nd is to try and stay open let people would recommend that they stay at home but you make them you let the infection spread and take a look at the look down 1st many if not most of the population will get infected eventually but its happening gradually there are enough hospital beds enough ventilators you you save thousands of lives so a small percent of people die but the Economic Impact is huge just for example its a one trillion dollars is lost thats a lot of taxes thats a lot of business thats going bankrupt the cost of giving millions of people Unemployment Benefits obviously the humane thing to do is to lock down but its not an easy choice the survivors when they see the bill will be shocked they childrens children will still be paying for it indeed a Regional State finance minister in germany seen the numbers choose to take assume life rather than leave with the cost that germany is paying his main concern was whether he could manage to fulfill the huge expectations. Of the population especially in terms of Financial Aid he clearly couldnt see any way out he was desperate and so he left us thats a soaked us has shocked me now look at what Many American states do it or sweden which is staying open there letting everyone infect each other this isnt going to look good in a few weeks hospitals will be flooded and people will be dying not because you can save them but because there arent enough hospital beds enough doctors enough equipment people with utterly treatable illnesses will also be dying because all the beds of form because everyone is busy treating the infected yet result is that many more people alive flee go in to die but the economic damage on paper will be much smaller although we have no way idea how it will pan out lets just say for example its 200000000000. 00 what governments around the world the doing is theyre facing this choice shut everything down and save as many lives as possible but the survivors start off much poorer and take decades to undo this damage or keep everything open literally lead people who didnt have to die die just so that the survivors the economy can keep going so this list burden future generations look at texas where the Lieutenant Governor is claiming that the elderly a ready to sacrifice their lives for the economy no one reached out to me and said senior citizen. Are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping of the america that all america loves for your children and grandchildren its an ugly choice either way no one can predict how bad this is going to get how how room all our economic models are how long it will take to recover or how many lives are going to be sacrificed so that the dow jones index stays high. Pharmaceutical firms around the world are now in a race against time to develop a covert 19 vaccine ninetys and undress or ski went to meet the director wants that company in russia. Before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on that a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. I havent seen whats wrong with it why is it hard to grid one because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it still can in to change its parts wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now wont be effective in half a year or so same as with not flu similar but not really the flu doesnt mean you take this fast when trying to present a 30 to 60 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained 149. 00 mutations we can see that so far we dont have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 all we have now is and fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics but just aggregate information and signal their progress whats aleutian may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have to few patients so Statistical Analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine is not to prevent infection itself but to prevent this is jewish and when everyone gets infected several to use the right indeed almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. Russia has registered 500. 00 new coronavirus cases in just the past 24 hours that brings the total to more than 2317. 00 people have died after a lock downs have been imposed in moscow and large parts of the country president putin addressed the nation on monday urging people to stay at home. Lou the special focus should be on the elderly who are in the risk group today expanded she workers very important here everyone people over 65 and their families should know that people in this age group must stay home now they must be told if you want to stay healthy and alive you must stay home we care about you please care about yourselves too. So far russia has stopped short of the total lockdown seen elsewhere in the world here in the capital starting from yesterday people are only allowed to leave their home for absolutely necessary that includes taking out the trash buying food or going to work if their jobs are deemed essential walking the dog is also permitted or if a national went to find out how one moscow family is adapting to the new reality. 4 generations of one family whole self isolating together in a 4 room apartment 6 adults 2 teenagers and 3 young children. It does feel a bit crowded here. As you can see live go zone even when you are cooped up indoors for this family that means keep doing all the things you love best as much as you can self isolation does not have to be boring but i know that none of the kids has some concerns that. All of us stay home its always good when the families hope but well too used to that normally all of us a whole when the weekend no we have to work study and self organize but not everyone is good at it just cant wake up some people early. And know like of course shes absolutely mant. Was. The schools may be closed but that doesnt mean its time to relax all universities colleges and schools and mosques have moved on line so to keep studying all you need is a good internet connection. You hear me well. Keeping people on line is the job of their dad andrei he works at one of moscows biggest providers nowadays remotely and says theyre fully prepared for the new reality. But dont think efficiency will fall a lot its still possible to work from home because our company is people like to call it now is digital most important thing is to have Remote Access working and i think its going to be fine the company will handle it. With people unable to go to work the selfemployed i remain the most vulnerable anna runs her own business together with her sister. Just because i work in the Creative Sector both in it and then die under damus fear will just stop working this worries me even more than the fact that they can also get sick im a photographer and they call and work from home i need to interact with people cellphones elision is just impossible is what i do ludmer is 79 has more than ready to handle the challenges ahead. Of. Us back in the soviet union we had a saying when the party says do it the calm small replies yes and today we have to follow the same principle if the government says it has to be done that has to be done people say western democracy is the thing to strive for thats how we have to live but theres a big problem when we see the democracies can unite in theory they are doing that but in reality each stands for itself. Ludden remembers how his daughter in law courts swine flu back in 2009 he believes call the 19 is no worse than that and the world will survive. Good. She got sick with swine flu or it was a very worrying time back then we didnt see such a big panic. Everyone is gathered in the kitchen listening to president putins address to the nation this is just one of many russian families and families worldwide who decided to self isolate before even any request from authorities and an official lockdown hoping it will help stop the virus spreading and understanding only uniting the african crown to this global threat reversion r. C. From moscow and please stay healthy. President s trump and putin have agreed to Work Together to counter the covert 900. 00 pandemic well bring you that story after the short break. The world is driven by shaped by fun person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask.

S. Navy ship comfort finally arriving in new york a quick pick a 1000 hospital beds and 1200 medical personnel the vessel is sorely needed to help aid the Coronavirus Fight in new york as the city remains the epicenter of the outbreak in the u. S. The idea here with the corps of engineers with fema. And with the state and local officials is to work in collaboration so that we can provide skilled medical professionals.

The decisions of law of the border with the United States has jews equated 19 we call on the Mexican Government to take more responsible measures arrivals from the u. S. Need to be conscientious and stay home to prevent mexico from descending into chaos we will monitor the government to check it takes necessary actions but if it doesnt we will come and block the border again there are u. S.

In the chinese city of new hardware the cove is 1000 not break began life is starting to return to normal they have been no new cases registered in the past week and doctors brought into the city in january are returning home restrictions on movement are gradually being lifted across china allowing factories and businesses to reopen the number of active cases has been in steady decline since february we spoke to john ross a senior fellow at the chung Yang Institute at Renmin University in china he says that countries need to learn from chinas experience of tackling the virus. Situation is gradually getting back i wouldnt call normal. But it is less abnormal what people dont understand is that the outbreak in western europe and the night states is much much worse than the one in china because this is its not very meaningful to make comparison absolute numbers when chinas population is some much bigger than that of other countries its more than 4 times the case of the size and states population 23. 00 times the size of italys population that means that for example that when you have the same number of cases in italy and in china this actually means the situation is 23 times as bad in italy and intensity the situation in the United States in terms of the population is 10 times as bad as the situation and this is because theyre not taking the extremely rigorous measures theyre not making mass wearing compulsory theyre allowing people to go out and if you do this the number of cases will continue right then unalterable people stay at home you know put in place a tremendous infrastructure youve got to do the food to them youve got to deliver essential medical supplies certainly its an all out social mobilization and the fact that china has carets uncrate so so far throughout western europe and throughout United States a number of cases of drugs and very fast. Book i think from our studios in moscow london and washington d. C. To stay with us here in r. T. For around the clock coverage as we bring you the latest updates on the coronavirus pandemic. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation from full community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. To direct. 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. I cant show you my face but im going to teach you must store in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. They could charged with capital murder even though he didnt have the gun didnt pull the trigger didnt intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with the scent of a 23. 00. I doubt that i deserved to be. Confined within 4 gray walls hed find so using hot turn on to help him to leave defense room. Full of let me. Ask i wouldnt. Pick i could. Not. Can you love who you know nothing. To do make good to see that you dont want to touch. Or do have all of the kook on the scene do it in the out now as you done this. And then most of the people who come to. The new one who is to move on to the scene these 2 learned one thing from the. So would you hire the moody tried to use in to. Learn every. One of the meet you has on there not. Seen. Micrographs friends arent sleights and dad sed you know whites or men for example there is their slight against women or more on nonwhite so its always the idea is that statements that directed toward a Privileged Group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so thats kind of the whole framework and its a its a political framework thats used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying more rather than the north and more than we need to call attention to them but its not all slight so its very political and its contents. Max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know it was the best of times it was the worst of times stacey this sounds like the opening lines to a tale of 2 cities by Charles Dickens and he was somebody quite useful and relevant to this age because he was writing during the beginning of the end of the British Empire and also during the explosion of the ron say class a lot of what he wrote about is the disaster capitalism caused by the ron to class so were in a very similar time to that with this pandemic meeting the over leveraged fake system that we have and the chaos that is causing and just for those of you out there who are you know perhaps let myself perhaps too busy reading twitter all the time and not enough time to devote to reading a tale to cities i want to read the rest of that quote from the opening of a tele to cities because its quite relevant i think to our time because that book was written in the period leading up to the french revolution and then through the reign of terror which i think is similar to what we have today it was the best of times it was the worst of times it was age of wisdom it was the age of foolishness it was that the pock of belief it was a part of incredulity it was the season of light it was a season of darkness it was the spring of hope it was the winter of despair we had everything before us we had nothing before us well well done Charles Dickens captured the guys at that moment to make a Christmas Carol being a condemnation of capitalism osama yes you know the ghost of christmas future was neoliberalism visiting upon the president to try to warn people what happens when you financial lies the Global Economy and you do 3 or 400 years with the consumption today chris. Being a holiday of consumption or losing its its significance as a spiritual soulful occasion and here we are you know weve all been very very naughty and weve all been sent to our room and were all sitting in our rooms now thinking about what we did this is a moment of self reflection for the Global Community to see
