Customers are told to stay ahead. The. U. S. Warship cheer. For publicly calling for the vessel to be evacuated the navy sea change. Stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of well this is the weekly R T International hello and welcome. First the broader picture of where the world currently sits now with 19. Billions of people currently under some sort of luck but the number of coronavirus cases still rise theres no more than 1200000 registered infections more than 67. But over a quarter of a 1000000 people have recovered. Well lets touch in some of the many stories this week starting in israel which made sure all communities abided by Strict Lockdown rules but that proved difficult there are more than a fellows unknown infections there the spite intense Movement Restrictions one hot spot is an ultraorthodox tide where locals are ignoring social distancing advice paulus near discovered. Welcome to mastering one of the oldest jewish neighborhoods in jerusalem now were not into science fact this asked you not to prostin in marjah strace i am dressed modestly but you can already hear people shouting and booing and yelling they dont like journalists here they dont like the police and we are here because we want to monitor the whole coronavirus situation and the fact that most of the cases are coming from ultraorthodox neighborhoods like this one information is placed on billboards because there is no television or radio in these communities many of the posters are yiddish and language that was spoken in the 19th century in Central Europe most israelis dont speak yiddish its only the ultraorthodox communities who do not some of these posters warn against the koran this virus and also encourage social distancing but its too little too late the latest ata shows that the highest rates of infection are among the ultraorthodox and they still not taking heed superintendent Mickey Rosenfeld is the National Police spokesperson and hes here to assess things how exactly have the ultraorthodox been flouting the regulations well here we are located in the area of mash in the religious neighborhood weve seen an extremely high number of people that have been in the streets our units are now patrolling all of the different areas because we want to prevent the corona virus from spreading that is something thats absolutely vital here in israel as weve seen the numbers going up and the main problem being inside the area is the fact that the neighborhoods are very closed very confined and we seeing that the message is not getting out to the public there are large numbers of people inside the families were talking about couples plus 567 even 10. And we have to make sure that people stay at home and they stay away from each other as much as possible at this stage in some cases police to be meeting people from synagogues and closing down places of worship its really tough going trying to convince people in this ultra orthodox neighborhood to abide by the end to come on a virus or does. Buses are allowed to travel because you ask people on the synagogue is an open place should be allowed only 10 people to pray with to the houses to each other theyre Still Closing in i said why. The only thing that we need is the souls to be open the only thing for nothing else was there was you know not sure. That everybody was was like that when somebody if there. Was. Was not there that was. Done he said not so far as some people screaming on the balcony i was trying to ask one or even interesting to see what is going on in the c. C. T. V. Race taking pictures not designers not people in this neighborhood im not shy that they dont assume this is the same distance that something isnt right the police appear. To be psychotic break down and change things like i mean what is the sense is to get to your moment. Was. The threat. So many religious jews here prayer is the answer to the coronavirus but with big hospitals reporting that 40 to 60 percent of cases come from ultra orthodox neighborhoods the police will continue to crackdown. Masha rim jerusalem. Well lets move from jerusalem to europe where the french prime ministers indicated that the lockdown in france is likely to be extended beyond the current april 15th threshold the government to further stretch the overwhelmed Health Service even so one medical emergencies chief ses government efforts to supply protective equipment to medics is not moving fast enough dr eric shuls he has been describing the situation. In the ill de france region results of playing a game of tetris meaning that whenever we take a patient out of intensive care police is immediately taken by another patient there is a period during which we will continue to work and lack equipment. Or france is currently dealing with around 90000 confirmed infections over 7 and a half 1000 deaths the in for stay at home regime is mentally taxing for everyone but for some the dangers are far worse. The reports from power. President macron has described Domestic Violence against women as says shame or average one woman is killed by her partner every 3 days its one of the highest femicide rates in europe times of crisis always conducive to a rise in violence for those suffering home it can quickly go from psychological abuse to physical and Sexual Violence and can even lead to fansite as france enters its 3rd week of lockdown its becoming clear how dangerous its been for those in abusive relationships reports of Domestic Violence sought in paris they were up 36 percent across the rest of the country it was 32 percent 2 victims were murdered news this is all she needs to what infuriates us representatives of feminist associations is that now it is believed that Domestic Violence is a National Problem in addition we are in crisis this means that the total number of pieces of violence committed against human relationships increased and instead of increasing the working time of the hotline which used to work until 10 pm now due to lack of funds the Service Stops working at 7 pm given the surge over ports of Domestic Abuse frances gender equality minister has announced the government will pay for hotel rooms for victims it says pop up Counseling Centers will be opened while an extra 1000000. 00 euros is being funneled into empty Domestic Abuse organizations my biggest concern is to multiply the points of contact with women as is difficult for women to get out we want to make sure the support systems can reach them for many Domestic Abuse charities confinement under royce in Domestic Abuse was already a foregone conclusion there was already anecdotal evidence from china. This happened there with incidents reportedly troubling a hash tag translating is empty Domestic Violence during epidemic also went viral given that this was in january some are questioning why European Countries like france didnt put a safety net in place at the start the answer is that our politicians are simply ignoring womens rights that arent human rights so basically theyre very scared now about the barriers but what about the safety of these women with children living in this houses you know trapped in with men who clearly have a raging hunger problem so who cannot control themselves until we dont raise the Public Opinion that Domestic Violence is a social emergency until that day our quality shows will keep thinking and treating this problem as a minor problem its not just women who are too risk Childrens Charities sounded the alone to over the heightened risk of compiling the. Hundreds of millions of children around the world will likely face increasing threats to the safety and wellbeing including mistreatment gender based violence exploitation social exclusion and separation from caregivers because of actions taken to contain the spread of the pandemic with children no longer in school and social distancing in place its hold up the younger victims of abuse to be recognized the problem is compounded by cell phone isolation measures given that social workers arent able to make regular calls in person. Is supposed to be the safest place that any of us can be right now for victims of abuse that small case it can mean being trapped in so id within a limited. Access to help while the government in france has now recognized this its already too late that those who suffered abuse and death in the 1st week of the lock down show that you can ski aussie paris well that goes without saying that the problem is not restricted to france of course self isolation has seen Domestic Violence increase in countries around the world theres also a spike in divorce supplications a couple struggle to get along in close proximity for so long Domestic Abuse survivor own compared to racial williamson hes at some point to take preventative measures before it is too late but the the the right weve seen across the current the advent countries that are currently unlocked and we are weve seen a 304050 percent increase reillys and we know this is going to be coming to the u. K. And we need to be prepared going forward. You know is it a pandemic upon a pandemic and this lots of things that can be done before we have this massive influx i mean in the u. K. Weve seen 9 deaths in the last 3 days. And 2 of those would be the treatises so 2 families again by james and 3 separate killings of women i think weve seen a rise in new cases of Domestic Abuse being reported and also then the the ones who have been living with this for a while. For many years may be that know and they feel that its really had to be unlocked with the traits of the 247. And i think its people reach and i am because they cannot take it anymore. And to another issue a Global Movement in fact is gathering pace calling along boards to stop charging rent for hosing during the Ongoing Health crisis but one multibillionaire euro firm has latched onto the idea to dust is refusing to pay rent on its stores in germany because of the current lockdown and politicians are furious peter all over has more for us stay at home to save lives as 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 and having to rely on state benefits for one of the Worlds Largest sports money factor is its meant them well refusing to pay rent for some of the stores theyve been forced to close off what adi da says done and its drawing fire from the German Government its indecent and then acceptable it financially strong firms now just stop paying their rents the brand pay for their 3. 00 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 some european leaders saying theyre not going to buy the dust products ever again. 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 of also announced that they would be either suspending all delaying the page and read 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 and or protecting tenants existence. But what about the private renter and landlord slightly more than half of the people in germany own a home 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 extended not until july of 2021 something which has pleased the unions politicians must send a clear signal the home must be safe but where this leaves landlord says well a little left in the air rent is 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 one of these loans how much will be made available nobody really knows just yet what were seeing is that 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. This is our Teacher National on the way fired for a flogging our health risks a u. S. Navy captain has been sacked after calling for his crew to be evacuated from their warship all of your pulpit 19 i break on board. The law. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics. Im showbusiness. Ok we start the program with an unusual sign these and one of europes hardest hit countries for corona is take a look at this its an open market in the capital which has opened for business despite weeks of Intense National lockdown customers brawls the stalled so long as they stick to strict social distancing rules at least for a considerable period being the worlds worst affected nation but infection and death rates are beginning to slow. With the us being the worlds worst affected country neighboring mexico is ramping up Virus Testing checkpoints near the border medics are taking travelers temperatures in any showing symptoms are immediately sent to hospital mexicos log nearly 2000 infections 79 people died. And the virus hit a cruise ship docked in Miami Florida after being turned away from ports in other countries. On the coral princess. Their bodies are still on board. President trumps warning that the u. S. Faces what could be its toughest week yet not the states of pennsylvania and colorado and also washington d c r m merging as new hot spots the number of deaths nationwide has almost reached. 8 and a half follows. The captain of the 1st u. S. Warship on deployment to report an eye prick was fired on thursday after he sent a scolding memo pleading for help hundreds of singers gathered on deck the Theodore RooseveltAircraft Carrier cheering the captain as he walked off the ship. I. Scolded 19 spread on boy breakthroughs a year circulated a memo where he lined the dire situation on board and pleaded for his crew to be evacuated from isolation its they find its way into the media navy top brass said crews here had caused on this is syria lower disregarded the chain of command so relieve the captain from gypsy. But to allow those emotions to color our judgment when communicating the current operational picture can at best create unnecessary confusion and at worst provide an incomplete picture of american combat readiness to our adversaries 1st the captains actions made his sailors their families and many in the public believe that his letter was the only reason. Help from our larger navy family was forthcoming which was hardly the case president travolta described the captains letter as inappropriate by saturday 155 out of the 4800 personnel on board had tested positive for the virus just under half the crew has been tested on friday they began to disembark all in the tiny Pacific Island of guam where their ship docked but only 1500. 00 have come a sure theyll be isolated in hotels there. Are former pentagon unless Michael Maloof told us about the unique dangers as he sees it posed when theres an eye prick on a military vessel its very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise a cruise ship which also was infected on an Aircraft Carrier a destroyer or submarine you dont have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the tap them because they do what they because theyre on 247 duty they do what they call hot words that someone whos on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps in it i mean is that closely confined and as a consequence the ability to spread the disease such as this particularly if youre in the open ocean is very very very high and people are going up and down the ladders holding the same areas constantly and to keep those areas germ free is its going to be a much would be a monumental task. To another story we are closely following the mayor of new yorks ordered an investigation into why amazon sucked a worker who would lead a walkout on monday overconcerned staff were not getting enough protection against corona virus later a leaked memo seem to show amazon executives tried to smear the former warehouse supervisor. Hes not smart to collate and to the extent the brest wants to focus on ass vs heem we will be in a much stronger p. R. Position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how were trying to protect workers alarms on staff have tested positive we know in at least 19 of the firms warehouses in the United States we spoke to the fired supervisor told us just how worried the workers are. Organized. You know its a cry for help to close down the buildings of amazon because theyre on say. We got people thats home to havent been paid for it entire month of march. News people will underlining Health Conditions luke is theyve got bronchitis the guy asthma we have an unknown amount of people that tested positive for the corona virus and theyre not being transparent with employees in ny caring about their employees health all we was asking for was to be protected theyre not providing us with enough mask the proper type of gloves just not enough cleaning supplies within the building theyre very scarce right now and him its always depleted. The cleaning crew that they hired to clean the buildings theyre scared to come to work themselves so. A lot of them havent been showing up to work you know the people who are afraid to work in that building those types of buildings so the only thing amazon can do is listen to their people it whereas in the close the building down a sanitized just in the state can do and if theyre not within the doodad then we shouldnt be have we should be forced to work you know were not as a sense to help is not as essential as they want us to be. Just not fair and its not right. Well i tell you what i actually reply this to chris moyles was fired after he had ignored instructions to stay home for 14 days following his coming into contact with a colleague who tested positive but he claims its more about amazons bottom line. Then knows that i was called in the uproar. Building one of the largest buildings in the tri state area holds about 5000 people. A lot of money that they make in that building a lot of money im effect in that im effect in the business by speaking out so they got rid of me probably to silence me to terminate me to stop the movement but i see empowered me so they motivated me even more and im going to concede a fight like i say were going to day wont do it we are global go above the head and well go to city hall. And well fight with the government so the government steps in and shut the bill down. Lobs across the world 247 pharmaceutical firms are in a race to the covert 19 vaccine. Has been finding out about efforts here 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. Why is it hard to develop a vaccine. Because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it still can go in to change its part of me while the strains of that virus so the solution you have now wont be effective in heart for a year or so is it the same as with seasonal flu or similar but not really the flu doesnt mutate this is that when trying to present a 30. 00 to 60. 00 strains of the virus identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained 149. 00 mutations we can say that so far we dont have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 all we have now is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics that just aggregate information and signal their progress what solution may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have to thewe patients so statistically analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine is as not to prevent infection itself but to prevent a situation whereby everyone gets infected simultaneously right in the almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. Love is your news review for knowledge but the wheels keep returning here on r t stay close as we travel to japan next for our documentary back to focus. Yes. Yes. This is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know. Where not. The person that. Cheesiness simply they are considered the most dangerous of criminals shes in a still. Body off 23 hours of the day tell me that is an issue in the world of women on death row. People who lived in towns to which excess is now restricted are allowed to revisit their homes a few times each year 51 is given a dosey meter to show how much radiation they are exposed to while inside the zone. The march 27th earthquake and tsunami. A giant wave hits the fukushima one Nuclear Power plant. Flooded almost the entire facility. But the reactor cooling system is compromised then theres an explosion then another and another. Radiation rises to 5 times the normal level the situation is exceptional. And thats given the highest possible score for severity of nuclear contamination. Tens of thousands of people are evacuated from a 20 kilometer exclusion zone centered on the power plant. 80 years later and japanese authorities are still actively decontaminating huge tracts of. They have removed the upper layers of soil and washed and cleaned everything. Now one by one they are gradually reopening areas where the Government People can live safely. In their own
