Come on paul. Hello there she is gone 7 pm here in moscow youre watching International Start this hour by giving you the latest figures on the 19 pandemic the number of confirmed infections worldwide has passed 1600000 death toll stands now at more than 909367000 people have recovered. Well the virus is taking its greatest toll on the elderly with a picture of devastation emerging it can homes throughout europe deaths of surge but exact numbers arent yet known to you to a lack of testing and delays to in reporting in italy the Health Director of one nursing home to tell us there are no resources to cope with the crisis. I would describe whats happened as a tsunami losing so many people at the same time is terrible i have not even had time to process whats happened and mourn for those who have died in many European Countries care home residents have been bypassed by overstretched Health Care Services in france almost a 3rd of all coronavirus deaths of happened in such facilities with more his child it depends. 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. Most Vulnerable People during peak weeks. The priority of the nation is to protect our elderly you 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 told me that in some places care homes have become defacto hospitals when theyre spread out. And its very cool to keep you know. There were. Throwing parties. Theres a lot of activities they were defined inside. 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 hospitals 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. 19 is very cruel because you cannot hack your mother you cannot kiss her you cannot be weak hair. Is very tough for haitian and for day relatives we cannot be close to her in the circus finances 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. d 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 or 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 launched after dozens died at a nursing home in malone 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 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 will be turned them on to importing into care homes and i think to 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 the pandemic those key lessons those reassuring overtures from leaders feel like in some cases they have evaporated show that even ski r. T. Paris. Now the u. S. Is going the unenviable record of having the worlds Fastest Growing death toll from the pandemic the figure has topped 17000 and is expected to overtake italy within a matter of days in new york state 7000 lives have been lost or morgues have been overwhelmed in fact in this video you can now see workers in protective gear burying the dead in a trench on heart island in the bronx the area there is traditionally been used to bury the news with no no no relatives from the chavez since 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. People. 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 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 u. S. Reporting in new york trinity charges r. T. This virus is also having a big Economic Impact and for the 1st time in nearly a quarter of a century large parts of africa are entering recession jew to the pandemic according to the world bank and it threatens to to push millions into extreme poverty 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 in 2020 in fact we anticipate the worst economic fallout sees the Great Depression these numbers are american. Comparisons with the 2008 financial crisis and even the Group Depression of them going to thirtys are inevitable in the us and asked me to 16000000 people have filed unemployment claims over the past 3 weeks and known 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 1000 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 half 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 their 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 low around 11000. 00 but there are concerns its just the calm before the storm case numbers here increasing exponentially and therefore can region it took 16 days from the 1st confirmed case in the region to reach 100 cases it took a further 10 days which the 1st saddened 3 days after this there were teas 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 actually affect Health Care Services across the world but more so african countries who are clearly market papers who clearly have hospitals that 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 troubled problematic issues for many of your 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 offices straight but meanwhile south africa has taken the unprecedented step of going into a military patrolled lockdown was. Was human Rights Groups also allege these lockdowns are being taken advantage of by authoritarian regimes to consolidate their power and also to thought 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 swarm of 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 cannot 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 element of mineral well. Weve seen that that doesnt actually play in good time so if people who live on the on the dollar a day 70 percent of population size is. 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 their ability to be able to feed their families and themselves are really strained on more than likely the African People will suffer when supply chains are terribly affected which there will be i mean not to be the case. So plenty more to come. Including preying on fair way to the fullest is that theyre trying to cash in on the pandemic well have a look at. Right. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and ill be speaking to get us all the world of politics sports business im sure business ill see you there. Hello again now in a bid to stabilize what have been plunging oil prices the worlds major producers 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 and president s putin and trump have just said to discuss the Current Situation and agreed on maintaining dialogue a back the market with more his own quarter. 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 economies will 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 is 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 prison trump i spoke with him and in 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 have already complained 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. Ok lets bring in dr drew salim a now hes an International Oil economist and a very welcome thanks for coming on why do you think or how important is this deal thats just being signed. I think i am not very optimistic about the effect of this here because it comes at a time when the example i market is facing and i really demand destruction amounting to 38000000 barrels a day ill be here to laugh in the market. Tell me im crap. Well i think the price is as long as the current virus late is really so wrong in my opinion and ill buy the fellow with money well an expense that i dont believe it will have a permanent impact on prices as well as the coronavirus is certainly is that because you believe the production cuts havent gone far enough or do you believe that any cut wouldnt be enough to stem the crisis caused by the pandemic. This natural cats are big enough youll have a huge very huge collapse in the market in their marketing and you will have a difficult. And battle to stay healthy rather than if you dont want to have an impact the 1st one to have done took up 30000000. Barrels a day and. Half said the great demand decline this new cap and even if he remembers in a well as implemented study i dont think its in fact only a little grouse which is really very marginal as long as the equivalent of us is certainly do you think the real producers know this i mean why wouldnt they agree to cut further do you think why they only cutting this amount if you believe that they need to cut a lot more. But they have to but they really believe that this really gives some service the incentive to the Global Oil Market to move very dramatically there will produce a as a business and there are a little gloom and all that else but i dont feel else an International Economist to see how could we ever think good guys of the willing well know how hard the impact the notion of the where there are surely there are. Plenty of good rational although i would prefer come up in the house you man so my question is well beyond merkel centrelink. Amman are. Very strict. Measures as china and they do excellent time but i wish there was dragged out of the lock down we have a guy looking at. Cuts which will have no effect whatsoever i was led to call on a virus israel ok dr phil my really good to talk to me and have to leave it there that was a doctor a man do selami an International Economist thanks for coming on. Scientists are warning that faxing for the krona virus is still likely to be more than a year away that gap in the market has allowed fraudsters to step in offering fake treatments more county of towns and i want to look out for. Its always like this isnt it especially in times of desperation but mankind is gripped by fear and despair they crawl out from under their rocks the charlatans the prophets years that the slide ins 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 being 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 those were 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 this 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 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 there is no silver pill and i promise you there is no silver toothpaste yes toothpaste thats not a joke patented now. The pentagon has come and documented in Homeland Security and so. Distaff 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 make a complaint that facebook and twitter if you see a post theyll just screw 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 face mask 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 in particular but youre going to see everybody from every walk of life use this some or how i am ive heard radio promotion sometimes tawdry despicable so whatever the human imagination can provide thats what youll see. And that brings up that ice and i will be back with more few i want about 30 minutes time in the meantime to stay at home and stay safe and stay with us. Who are older. Thinks. We dared to ask. Oh hello is this. Are you doing. You know. We want to knock. Me a pill that we now know. And over. I dont get to fix it im going to be out a little bit make and. Get off. On a good idea quote if. You cant make. Change operation again that you. Are. The green light it was a part of my name it. And one person i knew then another. Population. And i think. It extremely. And i think a lot of the women here like her said. That come kelpie and that sort of not just myself it should shuttle just the 1st. Times where you just wanted to end that theres many many time. Years in which you know how come you dont wake up again. To let me die it hard to find their value for yourself when you know you have no human contact. But anybody gets convicted of something its outrageous youre going automatically. Away from that person to stop or topical because you dont want to be associated and theres a can somebody to lie. And how much and thats reporting. Need to have to look at the way and develop a copy and then let a girl buy democracy when youre a nominee we have to wrap this up now yet again
