Just 10 am in los angeles 11 pm and in the evening right here in moscow this saturday april the 11th welcome to our 2 international i mean in the new. Well lets begin with the latest figures this hour on the coded 19 pandemic the number of cases around the world still on the rise with 1700000 people infected another grim milestone has been reached to more than 106000 have succumbed to corona virus but its also known that almost 4 times not figure 392000 people have recovered from the disease. And lets start with updates here from russia which is 2 Clinical Trials of a vaccine against kobe had 19 initially on 60 volunteers the countries now registered over 100 tents and more than 13000 infections with the mayor of moscow as a nonstop the city will gradually roll out a pos system designed to tighten control of her Movement Starting monday citizens will be able to apply for a pass and then from whence they process will be compulsory for travel by personal or public transport not just the nonce but in the past hour or so lets take a look as well as a queue of these were seen waiting to transfer patients to a hospital in moscow about spain repurpose to focus on coronavirus patients the number of admissions has doubled since last week and more than 85 percent of the patients have pneumonia the Authorities Say the peak is still to come. Restrictions in the capital taking us through the latest developments jaclyn for. Late on friday evening it was announced that there is going to be a new system of tasks is to be used in the russian capital and that was announced on the moscow mayors website where he said that it was a question of the health and the safety of all the People Living in moscow because the situation has only gotten worse recently that he was really left with no choice but to implement this but in those when they didnt go through boards a virtual since the beginning of this week the situation with the corona virus has been worsening previously hospitals has been receiving 500 patients they now the number has surpassed 1000 a past regime inside the city is an inevitable restriction which will be implemented gradually starting from monday. Now over the past few days there really has been a sharp increase in new cases in the russian capital almost every day has seen about 1500 cases and just on friday there was almost 2000 along with 18 deaths as well now another announcement that we heard was that for the next week there will be further restrictions on businesses in moscow and all but the most essential ones will be shut for the week and that could possibly be extended. Mina due to more most of moscows organizations and enterprises will temporarily stop working for a week with the possibility to prolong it only essential enterprises will keep operating. Its just those people who work at those essential businesses who will be the 1st ones affected by in seeing how this past system works because the 1st stage thats being rolled out will be passive giving to people and order for them to get to their places of business the 2nd round whenever that is released will be for other trips around the city and the 3rd if necessary will actually be passes for people to leave their houses at all in order to move around their neighborhood to go to the local store or their pharmacy or anything like that and of course thats something weve seen and a number of European Countries but it does seem like the moscow thirtys do want to avoid that situation but are prepared to do it if necessary and the governor of the wider Moscow Region has put out a warning to that effect. Starting from monday we will actually increase the number of policeman National Guard and Traffic Police who will stop people to ask them why they are outdoors thats why im asking you to stay home and take seriously all the precautions we are facing now to prevent the spread of the virus that increased Police Presence that he was referring to really does seem necessary at this point because i can tell you even looking out my own windows on my balcony i can still see quite a bit of activity people just out with their kids walking and lots of cars still are on the street so its really hard at this point to say that people are following the restrictions that are already in place and that all started back on march the 28th president putin came out and said that he was announcing a week off work where people would still be paid but they would not be going to work and that has actually been extended until the end of april those were for all businesses where it was possible to not actually physically go to work and of course on the 30th of march thats when moscows mayor put out restrictions saying that people should only leave their houses in the event of a medical emergency if they have no choice but to go to work and to go to their local shops and pharmacies but like i said it really doesnt feel like people are following those restrictions and that is something that the moscow mayor commented on saying that that was one of the reason that this past system is being rolled out so hopefully this is enough at this point for people to really listen and stay inside. And jerkily concentrating there in moscow other regions of russia are also implementing measures in order to fight the pandemic we will bring you more on what topping our cross the country a little later in this program.

Lets move to france where the president s been Meeting Health professionals to hear firsthand what it is like talking coronavirus in the midst of criticism as well focused on the governments response one encounter in particular has been raising eyebrows so Charlotte Dubin ski takes us through it. As the race is on to find some way to bring hope it 19 to its knees it seems the french president isnt leaving any stone unturned emanuel might call spent a day visiting medical staff although some may have been a little surprised to learn that on his list was professor did you know. Who is the head of the i h you made it an Infection Institute in say and some of his ideas about 19 have raised eyebrows. I am a practitioner and doctor and im shocked to see this survey that says that only 37 percent of doctors in the whole world prescribe hydroxy torak when in from the amount of people who prescribe it without saying anything hes huge. He claimed following a small study that chloroquine a malaria drug was the cure and should be used immediately even one of stateside in donald trump. Could have a tremendous impact it would be a gift from god if that worked those claims caused controversy among the medical community here in france there were criticisms that his trials will change small too fast to be meaningful and concern about potentially dangerous side effects for those with heart problems but it seems that most people in france believe it has tapped into an effective treatment one poll found that 59 percent of people in france believe that clara queen was the miracle cure row has gone even further since then organizing for mass testing of the virus at his clinic to find official policy that was struck such experiments to symptoms people queued outside his hospital despite there being a look down the french government later caved in and a creed that the drug could be prescribed but questions and now being asked if this visit by president back on has only added fuel to the hype over what remains without a full series of Clinical Trials and proven treatments. The message that president macron is sent in is one of support which is due to mental to the Scientific Community professor all certainly has an interest in personality but one doesnt heal before personality. Visit of more than 3 hours was in private but has been splashed across the front page news his advisors say it wasnt an indorsement but rather intended to show that the president is listening to wide swathe of scientific opinion but this visit came before the results of Clinical Trials which are under way a due to be released and some suggest that this is more about macro bowing to popular pressure or perhaps even politicizing the issue but i am a bit surprised by the president s visit to professor old because its a little unexpected to endorse this treatment while we are still awaiting a real double blind study with a control group it is starting to become showbiz politics which is not good though general opinion polls have surged in support for much as the pandemic has unfolded it seems amongst the medical community and medical staff the president is not popular they raise their voices demanding protective gear and they were not the only ones on the same day call had visited a hospital here in paris there too he was greeted by angry medical stuff.

One country one virus but you can walk freely down the streets of your town or get fined for leaving your apartment depending on where you live. In moscow that pandemic has taken its most aggressive hold and therefore the measures here are among the most strict across russia the most recent include a past system for all outdoor movements and media partial lockdown with fines for breaking sales isolation a ban on Mass Gatherings and the clay show jeems spas and restaurants schools and universities are close to but most schools not the only region getting tough. Thousands of kilometers away russias southern caucus is republic of chechnya has already gone even further once the president delegated Decision Making authority to local heads republics leader Ramzan Kadyrov slammed its orders shot from the 5th of april we are closing the chechen republic to the entry of all transport and people from the 3rd of april we will totally prohibit the movement of transport and pedestrians in cities and villages from 8 pm to 8 am these strict measures are needed to defeat covert 19 moscow decided this was too much to do not makes regional powers and federal power all the restrictions should be appropriate and suitable to the situation the measures were relaxed in later but still no Free Movement within the region.
