Hello there just gone 6 oclock in the evening here in moscow you with our table lets start this hour with some of the latest figures then we have on the 19 pandemic because the number of confirmed infections worldwide has passed 1600000 the death toll stands at more than 97366000 people have recovered. Well the virus is taking its greatest toll on the elderly with the picture of devastation emerging across care homes throughout europe deaths in such facilities have surged but exact numbers arent yet due to a lack of testing and also delays in reporting in italy the Health Director there were one nursing home does say there are no resources to cope with the crisis. I would describe what happened as a tsunami losing so many people at the same time is terrible but i have not even had time to process whats happened and mourn for those who have died well in many European Countries care home residents have been bypassed by overstretched Health Care Services in france almost a 3rd of all coronavirus deaths have happened in such facilities. As much. As the grim toll from covert 19 continues to mount official figures often amid deaths outside hospitals including those in nursing and care homes a picture is now emerging of how the virus is laying waste to some of the most fragile while many older people have been self isolating a home and hopefully safeguarding the health as much as possible it seems that others in care homes are more at risk in front the death toll rose rapidly off due to merge how many people in care homes had lost their lives to the virus those deaths now account for more than 30 percent of total fatalities but this isnt surprising from the very start we were warned that older people were at highest risk the most important task would be to protect and most Vulnerable People during peak weeks. To put the priority of the nation is to protect our elderly we must do it responsibly with common sense and discipline strong words from those in charge yet words that some say have wrong hollowing as the elderly bear the brunt of the virus in spain nursing and care homes have been struggling to stop the spread of covert 19 its estimated that in march alone nearly 5. 1000 people in cash in madrid region died thats thousands of deaths higher than normal a correspondent from our sister channel spanish francisco get you told me that in some places care homes have become defacto hospitals when theyre spread out. And its very deep equal to keep. And there were different parties. Theres a lot of activities they were defined inside. Tired club years caseys. 19 and it. Is this equation becomes very difficult for care homes because in it for them they need to act as a host details franciscos mother was living in one home but following complications shes been transferred to a hospital where shes fighting pneumonia although its not yet been confirmed she is also being treated as if shes been infected by kuwait 19 as a reporter francisco knows the drill but as a son he says the hardest thing is to not be with her in person could be 19 is very cruel because you cannot hack your mother you can kiss her you cannot be weak hair. Is very tough for a patient and 4 day weeks we cannot be close to her in the soup of spices when you are in the middle of these and then yeah i think its very difficult but there were some messages that they were saying for example that all people d its a priority that it was not true you know was not true and its clear with the facts that you see how many people in. Homes in the last week. Thousands of people of all people are dying because of. The outbreaks in care homes in spain have led to a collapse in staffing last month the military was called to help but a retirement home and it found elderly residents had been abandoned and in some cases dead in their beds meanwhile in a chilly investigation has been after dozens died at a nursing home alone one who work at the facility said the true extent of the risk of infection had been played down what stocks had been told not to wear masks and. This situation isnt good this covered everything up there were even for people who included a female doctor who terrorized saying we didnt have to use masks. In the u. K. Government guidelines say 1000 patients can be safely cared for in care homes if precautions are taken but some care home managers say that by doing so the government is sacrificing the elderly. That would be tons of money to importing into care homes and i think to add insult to injury by asking us to take coded 19 positive patients is asking us to basically make Health Suicide notes for people who. We are taught from a young age to respect our elders to look after our elderly yet as the panic has ensued with a pandemic those key lessons those reassuring overtures from leaders feel like in some cases they have evaporated show that even ski r. T. Paris meanwhile hospitals around the world are having to suspend Vital Services at the moment as they focus on covidien 19 patients well have more details on this a bit later in the program. Now the u. S. Does have the unenviable record at the moment of having the worlds Fastest Growing death toll from the pandemic has topped 17000 and is expected to overtake italy within a matter of days in new york state 7000 lives have been lost there morgues have been overwhelmed in fact in this video you can see workers in protective gear theyre burying the dead in a trench on hot island in the bronx the area has been used to bury those with no no no relatives from he chavez sent this report from the city. I know that i want to bring. On the ticket here today the coronavirus continuing to take a dramatic toll on new york its like a battlefield behind your house the number of coronavirus cases and now more than 150000 with more than 7000 deaths. The virus having the biggest impact on some of new york citys poorest areas the disparities that have plagued this city this nation that are all about fundamental inequality are once again causing such pain. And causing people innocent people to lose their lives its just abundantly clear its sick its troubling its wrong new data showing Jackson Heights elmhurst and corona queens have higher numbers of coronavirus cases than in wealthy mostly white parts of manhattan. If you would. Its terrifying here because were downwind of this of a hospital thats a percentage of the death of the National Crisis while queens the epicenter of the outbreak in new york city accounts for more than 3200 factions many are still forced to continue to go to work my mom if you want to meet. Our. Many low wage workers on the front lines from Grocery Store employees to Public Transportation workers all deemed essential working around the clock during the pandemic right now everybody who are here if you are the still working at the m. T. A. Confirming the coronavirus has claimed the lives of 41 transit workers in 5 weeks and more than 6000 have fallen sick or self quarantined this as new Research Shows that the novel crew. Virus likely circulated in new york for weeks undetected with more new york infections coming from europe and not asia critics pointing out that the findings contradict president trumps argument that is bearing on travelers from china in late january delayed the arrival of the virus to the us reporting in new york trinity charges r. T. The economies have been badly hit and for the 1st time in nearly a quarter of a century large parts of africa entering recession due to the pandemic thats according to the world bank and it does threaten to push millions into extreme poverty it says Saskia Taylor has been looking at the issue. The world has now realized its facing not just a Health Crisis but also potential economic collapse Global Growth will turn sharply negative 2020 in fact we anticipate the worst economic fallout sees the Great Depression these numbers of romantic. Comparisons with the 2008 financial crisis and even the Great Depression of the thirtys are inevitable in the us and asked me to 16000000 people have filed unemployment claims over the past 3 weeks and know if that is happening to the worlds economic superpower what bleak future awaits everyone else take africa for example the World Bank Says that covert 900 is threatening to tip the continent into its vast recession in 25 years we will see a complete collapse of the condom is and livelihoods livelihoods will be wiped out in the way we have never seen before if the analysis proves right coronavirus could cost the continent up to hof of its g. D. P. And 2020 why while africa is one of the most export dependent regions in the wild but with countries shutting our borders the continent cant trade like before thats on top of reduced tourism and no oil prices the number of coronavirus cases in africa is so far relatively no around 11000 but there are concerns its just the calm before the storm case numbers here increasing exponentially and therefore can region he took 16 days from the 1st confirmed case in the region to reach 100 cases it took a further 10 day series the 1st sad isnt 3 days after this there were tears hasnt cases in 2 days later we were at 3 says and if this pattern continues african nations which already have Fragile Health Systems will just simply be overwhelmed we dont. Have the hospitals the i. C. Use or the ventilators to deal with massive amounts of people so if the spread is comparable to that seen in europe or china the outcome could be devastating the coronavirus would have to affect their Health Care Services across the world but more so are can control to a clearly market papers who clearly have just because the underfunded and ill equipped many of them are the cause of the labor market expected to docs and nurses very short supply so a truly troubling column arctic issues for many of the complaints countries right now to try and get ahead of the pandemic many countries have been forced containment measures like lock downs curfews and travel bans but that has led to its own knew of problems overzealous policing has already cost lives and kenya there are reports of Police Beatings and the president himself apologized for the death of a 13 year old boy at the hands of an officer is straight but meanwhile south africa has taken the unprecedented step of going into a military patrolled lockdown was there are human Rights Groups also allege these lockdowns are being taken advantage of by authoritarian regimes to consolidate their power and also to snort social uprisings as joblessness continues to rise the timing of the pandemic is particularly bad for africa a number of its nations are only now recovering from the Ebola Outbreak and in the east a small of the locusts is threatening to devastate crops. If we fail with the current regional control up aeration is because of a lack of pesticides then we could see 4000000 more People Struggle to feed their families so while the coronavirus is making life around the world difficult for the 1300000000. Living on the african continent it threatens to undermine individual freedoms collapse health caste systems and bring about economic ruin africa is meant to be an Agricultural Produce the continent i mean many crazes many countries in africa have sought the the element of mineral well. Weve seen that that doesnt actually play in good time so if people who live on a dollar a day nearly 70 percent of population size its. A dollar a day those people will be asked to stay at home if were told thats the case whos actually going to take care of them and their bread lines are going to be affected the ability to be able to feed their families and themselves are really strained on more than likely the African People when supply chains are terribly affected which they will. Not to be the case. Without reform still to come here preying on failing doing that at the fraudsters who a company trying to cash in on the pandemic that story of this thing just awful.

Hello again you with artane now in a bid to stabilize what have been plunging oil prices the worlds major parties including russia have finally reached an agreement to slash production mexico had been the only country refusing to come on board however it was eventually persuaded to follow suit president putin and trying to have just discussed the Current Situation and agreed on maintaining dialogue about the market with more details his on court. The worlds Oil Producing hard hitters have finally come to this is stork agreement to cut around 10000000. 00 barrels of oil a day on the Global Oil Markets in production now this plan means that puts the avoidance of a potential disaster for the worlds oil markets and moscow has already predicted good things to come as a result of it the compromise between 22 countries will have a stabilizing effect on the Global Market there are no losers everybody has one from this decision producers consumers and the Global Economy as well now this agreement comes after a month long price war between moscow and riyadh that started when saudi arabia dramatically increased its Oil Production and that sent Global Oil Prices to record lows now on thursday opec plus called on its Member States to assist in efforts intended to stabilize the International Oil markets and much mexico was actually the longest they took the longest to fall in line with this but after the countrys president spoke with donald trump he said that they were able to cut a deal. We were in touch with prism trump i spoke with an agreement was reached to make cuts of 100000. 00 Barrels Per Day the United States has committed to an additional decrease of 250000 barrels to compensate for mexico this is formal we already comply and. So now the worlds major Oil Producing countries are on the same page will no doubt see a greater degree of stability in the International Markets as a result of it. All right well lets get more reaction now from pat he joins us hes from the president. Gets based in Houston Texas youre very welcome thanks for coming on and why do you think mexico changed its mind on this quickly because just 24 hours ago saying it wasnt going to cut production. Well i think the main reason is that mexico rather than having to cut 400000 barrels a day ended up cutting only 100000 barrels a day because at the root of the opec agreement was to have saudi arabia and russia bear the most cuts but the rest of the countries would cut by 23 percent and mexico was able to reduce their percentage cut but to only 6 percent. If that is the case why is it so important to get make the carry on board because another Major Oil Producer and they dont seem to be cutting much in terms of global output so just why was it so important to get everybody on the same page well the key was that opec on its own was unwilling to cut production and shoulder the burden without having the 10 members of opec plus also contribute to that Production Cut of course russia is the biggest member of the plus group mexico was also a member as well but in addition to this 10000000. 00 barrel a day cut opec flies wanted non opec members such as the us canada brazil and norway to join in to to reduce the supply. Over it was that we have and because opec did not want to be if you will supporting shallum these other producers what sort of impact do you think this will have on the price then will the markets buy into the. Well i think the markets may react with a little bit of skepticism for a number of reasons 1st the Production Cut doesnt go into effect until may and here we are in april where the supply demand imbalance on crude oil is about 25000000 barrels a day 2nd we actually saw some hint of this on friday where the and initial contours of the agreement were announced have the oil price was up about 12 percent but by the end of the day when the details came out it was down by 9 percent because its a rogue flexion of the market skepticism that everyone in this group is actually going to comply when thats a good point how easy is it to police this i mean somebody might say theyre going to do something but how would you prove that they havent cut production. Well you only can prove it really after the fact and weve seen the difficulty in the compliance by a lot of the members so when we think about some of the opec members such as nigeria or algeria its very difficult to imagine that theyre actually going to cut by 23 percent and this is all going on at the same time libyan Oil Production for all intents and purposes is off the market and should have begin to return thats another 1000000 barrels a day that opec and not opec members would have to contend with its not a clear cut issue is it at the moment and even to have to leave it always good to talk to the county to. All associates in eastern texas thank you thank you. With Health Services around the world engaged almost soley in the fight against the corona virus it means the focus has been taken off many of the crucial sectors in the u. S. Theres been a drop by up to nearly 60 percent in admissions for those suffering heart attacks spain seeing a 40 percent cut in emergency procedures and Patients Seeking Health Care sorry heart care in hong kong have reported lengthy delays while a doctor in new york has revealed that patients are refusing to come in with is that they will be infected housing the hospitals its overcrowded cover 9000. 00 patients are going to have to wait for a long time just to get upstairs to a bed with a problem to share a room or go in the hallways with other covert action patient ive had patients come in crying and screaming but they dont want to be sent to the emergency room from the nursing home because they have a fever disagree with that they dont want the virus to take me back take me back but they go theyre being sent to certain do. Because theyre going to just fill the air of an emergency room where the patients are 90 percent of the fantastic problem over 19 coughing and sneezing said though british dr david bull who is a former n. E. P. Does say that no one should be scared of going to hospital if they need treatment. Really kid vice to people is the hospitals remain open if you have a serious condition so for example if you have on china if you have chest pain if you have anything that youre really really worried about then you must seek medical help because actually strangely the public are actually listening to the advice thats being given a many of the wards are relatively quiet at the moment so if you are concerned if you have a life threatening illness then please make sure that you go to the hospital we have ramped up medical provision we have cold back lots of retired doctors lots of retired nurses back on the front line so weve also built these other bigger units like the nice ingo hospital which is to 2000 bed wards i mean thats extraordinary so the capacity of the n. H. S. Has increased dramatically but that means there are still many doctors around to deal with those conditions that are nothing to do with coronavirus itself however the National Health service is still sharing some strain and waiting times for example in london have tripled and many hospitals have that this is to private clinics we heard from a cancer patient. Operation shirt george said next week and it was cam saltus recurrent breast cancer. I had a lot of treatment about 5 years ago and ongoing treatment and unfortunately its returned and it needs an operation sooner rather than later this will be outsourced to a clinic but its an n. H. S. Clinic. And the the consultant hasnt operated there before so his very. Being very very cautious and very careful to make sure that he thinks a. Wee while scientists are warned that a vaccine for the corona virus is still likely to be more than a year away although that gap in the market has allowed fraudsters to step in offering treatments more on this is what i guess the. Its always like this isnt it especially in times of desperation when mankind is gripped by fear and despair they crawl out from under their rocks the charlatans the prophets years that the slimes and the sneezes even among them are those of exceptional shamelessness im asking for a brief 3 months to assist in Research Work uncovered 19 been released to the post covered world is no solace to even been concentrated martins correctly former drug industry executive a fraud a ponzi scheme creator but lose his official crimes whats correctly really became infamous for is creating a monopoly over a parasitic infection drug used to treat pregnant women babies hiv victims he got his hands on the drug and he hiked the price from 20. 00 per pill to 750. 00 per pill it was ingenious and utterly soulless you either paid or you died Health Care Prices are inelastic they could have raised it higher and made more profits were this is a couple a Society Couple system a couple of rules of the way these vultures those promising promising a cure medicine or a secret formula to to ward off coronavirus spirits and for a pretty penny theyll tell you it came from god god gave us this product yeah i believe yes youre saying that silver solution would be effective theres no Silver Bullet theres no silver pill and i promise you there is no silver toothpaste yes toothpaste thats not a joke compared to. The pentagon has come out and documented in Homeland Security and said. This stuff kills the whole sars family at point blank range so ludicrous were his claims that authorities in new york had to step in and to tell him to stop this charade its easy to blame the victims here you can call them silly or stupid we could try to understand them the elderly especially who are trusting who are told they view on television that theyre in the high risk category that theyre likely to die 1st of course theyre desperate can you blame them for for grasping at straws know what you can do is you can blame the the car not ists who are waving these straws in front of their faces not only do they create the cure but this pill right here is the prevention we can go on and on there are thousands of these charlatans all over the world more every day though just walk by report them like you can play the facebook and twitter if you see a post which is screwed on the only thing worse than waiting for a cure is being fooled into buying one only to learn that its fake and some one juror in a bad demick profited off of our collective misery when ever something happens of a catastrophic nature you see a number of sometimes out your mistakes but often times despicable for example price gouging in this country there were people who were selling pure around east these hand the lotion types of things for 200. 00 a bottle was ridiculous facemask so thats one example then you have televangelists or others who ply their spiritual wares maybe legitimately im not equipped with the ability to tell whether theyre correct or not thats for others to decide then you also have a variety of people who during this will make statements about the cause of this so called conspiracy theories now again im not saying anybody
