Figures on the covert 19 pandemic the number of cases worldwide now has passed 1408300 people have lost their lives the United States has the largest number of infections followed by spain and italy and worldwide 309000 people have recovered from the disease. Heading 1st to france where the death toll from cove 19 is now past 10000 the Health Minister is warned that the peak hasnt yet arrived and that the nation wide lockdown will have to continue the World Health Organization a supporter of you saying that the countries that this restriction is to really could trigger a new wave of the pandemic with more from paris to charlotte n. C. 4 weeks into lockdown in france and the countrys economy is being brought to its knees will probably be more than the minus 2. 2 percent in 2009 versus the magnitude of the economic shock. As the pandemics taken a stranglehold on the countrys health its been tightening the noose around its economy too with suggestions thats taken a nosedive of more than a 3rd or normal and annual g. D. P. Is predicted to drop by 3 percent for every month the locked down this is a crisis like no other never in the history of the i. M. F. We have witnessed the World Economy coming to a stand still we are now in recession eat these where you were 6. Then the Global Financial crisis that stark warning has whipped up a frenzy amongst Global Leaders with calls for an immediate and coo warton ated International Action to stage the fight back in 2008 to 10. 00 the immediate economic crisis could be surmounted when the economic fault line and the capitalization of the Global Banking system was tackled now however the economic emergency will not be resolved until the Health Emergency is effectively addressed the Health Emergency will not end simply by conquering the disease in one country alone but by ensuring recovery from code 19 countries the worlds economy has come to a judge or a halt the question is how does it power up again in china with the virus 1st hit the lockdown has lifted with business is going back to work but how to return to some semblance of normality is also being asked here in europe australia is set to become the 1st country to ease restrictions but the government there is warning there are still months of restrictions ahead keep to the measures avoid social contacts keep your distance and public spaces germany is also drawing up a war next plan it includes mandatory masks in public and a limit on gatherings but some schools are in shops are expected to reopen in france there have been rumblings about the end of the lockdown which is tentatively scheduled for next week but the Health Minister has already warned that confinement remains necessary we can see that the worsening of the epidemic is being curbed by containment and the measures put in place but it is continuing so we are not at the end of our efforts for now rules in france are still being tightened with some cities and towns set to make masks come. Pulse rate while outdoor exercise in paris between 10 am and 7 pm is now banned a return to normality is clearly far from here and the World Health Organization is also urging not to and to measures too soon its like when youre sick if you get out of bed too soon and start running too soon you risk a relapse and complications governments face tough choices ahead between an attempt to try and keep people safe but not kill off their economies the only thing that is perhaps clear is that 2020 is the door of a very different model nehra the whole economy of the world is its hard for some and its only gradually become a peak hour and i think its going to be much worse than people expect its not going to last for another month probably 34 months minimum before things pick up gradually for the economy there is definitely a possibility youre saying the same scenario of having a double peak because people get out quickly because its spring time and people love to go out and go too close to their friends so governments need to be tough and they should stick to confinement at least for big groups like the Senior Citizens for a much longer time but for the younger people people who work for schools for example they could probably be really open but they should be tested regionally forest for example thats what theyre thinking about im sure the governments are very careful they are afraid that this double dip and there will be very careful trying to do anything. E. U. Countries have failed to reach an agreement on a large scale stimulus to keep their economies afloat during the pandemic on tuesday finance minister spent several hours trying to strike a compromise. But several nations refused to support a plan for shared a huge debt with more details in berlin his betrayal of. Initially there was huge upset among citizens of spain italy over what they saw as a slow response to the coronavirus from the European Union now what were seeing is the bloc struggling to come to a consensus over what of being called a bonds these would allow the debts that are be racked up to be sprayed even between Member States spain italy and france are in favor germany austria and the netherlands very much against speaking on monday german chancellor Angela Merkel said that germanys Economic Future was tied to that of europe its good. Germany it will only do well in the long run if europe is doing well if you just look at how we could reason to wind were now experiencing what happens when the Free Movement of goods is not guaranteed therefore the answer can only be more europe and the strongly europe and that europe works well all of its parts that is all its Member States. Angle of merkel favors using the 2012 european stability mechanism that was used during the previous financial crisis but that has left a brutal demand the french finance minister pulling his hair out saying that some countries will recover quicker than others using that route nothing would be worse for europe them for Richard States to get off to a quick starts while others who cannot afford it start slowly we all need to recover at the same speed in order to guarantee the k. Hes in solidarity and unity of the eurozone and our common currency to go back to that idea of more europe that anglo merkel was talking about well the European Commission president is also a big fan of on the line putting for. With a big european fiscal plan to try and tackle fallout from covert one thing many are calling right now for something which is called this Marshall Plan well i think the european budget should be the Marshall Plan were laying out together as a European Union for the european people but also getting on side with the wartime metaphor its been the spanish Prime Minister better Sanches Europe has to establish a wartime economy and put in place measures for the defense reconstruction and economic recovery of europe we can turn this crisis into not put unity to rebuild a much stronger European Union european politicians are under a lot of pressure right now not only looking after the health of their citizens but knowing that if they fail to deal with this virus or perhaps even worse theyre perceived to a failed to have dealt with this it could well lead to the rise of more extremist politics mark room believes that nothing will be quite the same again women there will be a great sober mood for populist war says on both the far and the left the room the european the global but he also believes there will be a desire for proven leaders and in the version to further disruption theres a lot of people focused right now on what will happen after the battle with the virus will we end up with a more powerful more unified European Union or one that the set by extremists at both ends of the political spectrum be troll ferrante berlin. Italian historian paolo bernadino believes the tragedy unfolding in this country has revealed deep problems with the way the e. U. Operates. Misato america stays there we need a. Strong national day and weve seen a rash of these we. In the regions we need to get to be the local council because you can act against this plan and be on the name local but its very difficult to direct the informant so i understand in the centralized boy and more the real. Me that would be i think that they are taking advantage of. An obvious point. At least one inmate has died of covert 19 at belmarsh prison in the u. K. Where Julian Assange is being held the wiki leaks founder is being behind bars since last may after he was evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy in london and arrested for skipping bail we spoke to kristen her office and the current editor in chief of wiki leaks whos alarmed by the conditions that. Well 2 weeks ago when he decided to not grant him bail the size of the fact that there was no cases of corvids to inside the prison in belle mars and she had full faith in the prison authorities in controlling the situation. Only a few hours later the same afternoon the 1st instances were confirmed in belmont and theyve been growing ever since and to my that i am absolutely certain that the cases are much more than are reported he has not been tested as most prisoners are now spending their time most of the day most of the entire day in the in the in the cells but in some instances they have to share cells of course. They try to move us a little and are forced not to move wild in the prisons where they are stripped of all our to vittie food is brought to the cells etc but the Prison Guards common go and they are the real danger of reading the call that inside the prison and that is probably what will happen and has already happened. A British Court has ruled that an extradition hearing for Julian Assange is will go ahead in may despite the current lockdown his lawyer had asked for a postponement he argued hes been unable to communicate with his client for 3 weeks because of the pandemic and that it would be impossible to hold a fair trial in may he made the request for a telephone Conference Call with Westminster Magistrates Court the judge though refused saying its too early to tell whether or not the courts will be operational in may we could weeks has questioned the courts decision. 2 weeks ago judge refused bail to julian a sandwich saying that he and all other prisoners would be cif in belmarsh prison today the b. B. C. Is reporting 1st deaths in belmarsh with many other prisoners infected. It is absolutely absurd to not take into account the situation and not to move for the hearing which is planned for may 18th further down the road its not just the situation probably will be still very bad and theres a lot of witnesses that have to fly its not possible to to continue without their presence in the courtroom also keep in mind that now for 3 weeks the lawyers have not been able to see julian ourselves they have not been able to meet him documents on and actually discuss the case how on earth can you continue as nothing has happened when the lawyers have not been able to confer with with a client he was not not even able to take part in the hearing of the video link because its simply not safe to move around inside the prison if you go to a Holding Cells and then into the booths were other prisoners are using to appear the a video link. Now the artist states has the worlds Fastest Growing fatality rate because of covert 19 and African Americans being disproportionately affected well explain all after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then.

Someone rich and famous referred to the pandemic as being a great equalizer. Doesnt care about. The great. Well the queen of pop was dead wrong as the United States tops the world in terms of coronavirus cases and voices compare it to 911. 00 or pearl harbor its anything but equal and whos being affected we are seeing the disparity because right now slightly more than 70 percent of all of our deaths are among africanamericans and thats a state where less than a 3rd of the population is black these kinds of disproportionate results are playing out throughout the country in michigan africanamericans are only 14 percent of the overall population but they are 40 percent of coronavirus deaths you know illinois 15 percent of the population is black but so far africanamericans account for 29 percent of coronavirus cases and 42 percent of deaths the mayor of chicago a major city where africanamericans represent over half of coronavirus cases and 70 percent of deaths did her best to explain the situation this is not just about racial and ethnic disparities in the outcomes the distribution of this disease is tells a story about resources in any quality a story about Unequal Health care access job access and Community Investment it would be naive and in fact scandals to ignore the point that the virus there is a disproportionately negative impact of one of the low income and the low income washington in the city and the low income Puerto Rican Community and Latino Community and a bit of a perfect agreement to boast of all you oftentimes of afraid. So. People in a native american all women go to reap the rewards so yes this is a question of a bow quiet us and rates but its not only in terms of direct infection the Unemployment Rate is expected to go as high as possibly above 30 percent and for many African Americans losing a job doesnt only represent loss of income it also represents a loss of health care this is a post from a nurse in new york city that went viral whos going to pay for it last words ill never forget the response my patient goss doubt between labored breaths to me and my team have to explain that he needs to be intubated and placed on a ventilator.

Hospitals have been closed clinics have been eliminated oh and you have a disproportionate number of core people who like those basic Health Services and so what we are seeing with this pandemic is that supports the fact that is the pandemic itself but the pandemic has exposed the structural contradictions of Economic System this is a fake issue that goes across communities it is manifest though in their dramatic ways in the black and brown and the digital communities because of the historic oppression of those communities but it also impacts of for whites in the White Working Class their real serious class contradictions in the u. S. That this pandemic is is exposing in a very graphic ways growing numbers of observers are saying that the u. S.
