Hello welcome to the program has just turned 1 pm here in moscow this tuesday im kevin owen with this 30 minute world news round up for you and 1st let me take you through where the world is statistically this tuesday heading towards another bleak milestone im afraid right now more than 1900000 infections have been registered globally and over 120000 people have died in better news though almost half a 1000000 people have recovered from covert 90. So in the latest to brief you on france faces nearly another month of lockdown president mccrum told the nation on monday evening that measures will stay in place until may the 11th and admits mistakes were made france is currently the worlds 4th worst affected nation with over 136000 cases and almost 15000 deaths reporting next from paris Charlotte Dubin ski. Present mark on addressing the nation again the 4th time since this pandemic took hold in france and we announced the citizens would have to face another 4 weeks over lockdown over strict of measures but thats not for everyone anyone with chronic illnesses or even the vulnerable he said will have to remain in self isolation for longer no end date was given for those category of people he also said that crosses borders with the norm in the e. U. Countries would also remain closed for the foreseeable future the president said he knew it was a lot to ask he said but france was facing an invisible enemy. The epidemic is still not under control we need to continue to make every effort to try and stem the spread of this virus because the more we do that the more we will be able to save lives so what will change will may the 11th 12th new concrete plan was given by the president he said the government would be meeting of the next few weeks to flush that out further but he did say that some businesses would be able to reopen he said some schools would progressively start to reopen from region to region is well known depending on the age of the peoples but he did suggest that University Classes will not restart again before the summer so that looks like that will be a september reopening for universities he also said that while some businesses would be allowed to reopen that will not include restaurants bars it will not include Tourist Attractions such as museums and in fact he said the big events in france would be completely banned until at least mid july so that gives you a sense as to how much longer it will take for things to get back to normal here he also said that often maybe 11 testing would be available to anyone who presented symptoms of covert going team but not the whole of the country he said it wasnt necessary to test the whole of the country and he said that mosques should be available for. Free citizen now thats interesting given that weve heard criticisms of shortages of medical goods medical supplies such as mosques such as gans ventilators for frontline staff and for patients in hospitals and in fact thats something the president addressed with the failings of the state he said it was sori. So we prepared for this crisis well i think the answer would be no we wont but we have to admit we made difficult decisions when dealing with incomplete information changing information about the virus. Virus and even now there are still many questions that remain unanswered because of the situation were going through we have seen failings in shortages in our system we didnt have enough medical equipment from medics well present macro and went on to say that france would learn from its mistakes he said we day we acted we showed strength but he also talked about the fact that france is far from this herd immunity weve heard that is necessary to prevent this virus from spreading and continuing to eat away at populations he said as well and this was perhaps his strongest warning of the night is that the easing of the lockdown there were structured was being lifted depended on one thing and that was the french being good citizens were respectful of the laws and continuing to observe the lockdown over the next 4 weeks perhaps even more difficult given that were heading into sort of the late spring early summer on the weather is getting so much better here france entice people out but he said you must be consistent you must respect the law because easing restrictions does depend on that he said nothing yet has been won when it comes to this battle he has such a dilemma right now no country of course wants to stay in long indefinitely and governments worldwide are struggling to try to balance effect of coroutine measures versus trying to get the economy back up again to avoid it collapsing the start of the fray some countries now that is do they stay cautious of infection rates are falling or do they start trying to get life back to normal so it could take a look at how its almost impossible to predict what best to do right now. For many the dream of stepping outside as weather improves is still far away with full knock down measures still in place in a number of European Countries take germany for example despite its exceptionally low mortality rate and still sticking to the principle better safe than sorry so out of nothing or stiffening after the easter holidays things wont return to how it was before there are now serious concerns that hes in a lockdown too early risks another round of infections as europe strongest economy germany can survive for a while longer with its businesses shuttered for others in the block though it simply cant be afforded which is why for some unrestricted fresh is about to become a reality as a few european nations have decided to ease their way out of knock down. We reacted faster and brought in more restrictions in other countries and therefore managed to avoid the worst of this quick and comprehensive response and also gives us the possibility is come out of this crisis more quickly australia is among those biting the bullet starting a slow and gradual process of reopening businesses many restrictions will still be in place but it is a start towards normalising an abnormal situation and with its unemployment levels hitting a post world war 2 high you really cant blame vienna for wanting to get its people back on their feet also loosening lockdown restrictions in a desperate bid to revive their economies spain and italy the wost hit european nations the millions of spanish construction factory workers monday marked the return to the day job so they were being handed masks at metro stations on the way n. Its all pretty much the matter. All the steps towards the new normal will be staggered and without a doubt cautious very cautious this next week the 1st step towards the new no morality will be taken with the conclusion of the paid leave the began on march the 30. All workers whose activities were suspended on the day are expected to return to their jobs. Some say its a risky move given that the easter weekend suicide and deaths and hundreds are still dying daily but kovac 9 has savaged the spanish economy with estimates of a 15. 5 percent drop in g. D. P. This year with everyone feeling the pinch its Little Wonder then that on the streets of spain people are welcoming the return to work in life or thinking of whatever may happen i think its the right move as long as we do is security measures like the daily distribution of protective masks the economy stopped for a long time and i think that this way can come back to normal where like well we have to work we have to keep our country going thats for sure even before the pandemic italy was struggling to balance its books now would stalk over 1000. 00 will cost its economy 80000000000. 00 euros and even though the death rate that is slowing down it still has the thought highest number of infections globally but still it too has decided to take steps towards resuscitating its economy the nationwide lockdown has been extended until the start of may but a few Small Businesses like bookshops have been allowed to reopen that tools. From tuesday 14th of april would reopen Stationery Stores book shops shops for babies and children received so many requests that we will start opening and testing these areas 1st all these moves are happening despite warnings from the World Health Organization that being hasty could cost more lives down the line w. H. O. Wants to see the strictness lifted as much as anyone at the same time lifting restrictions too quickly could lead to a deadly resurgence their way down can be dangerous as there were. If not money properly being a world leader isnt an enviable task in these Uncertain Times you have to decide whether to try and save each and every life or save the economy but the fears of a global recession not seen since the 1920 s. One that will leave millions living paycheck to paycheck for years to come perhaps its not surprising that some are choosing the 2nd option. Taylor their wish to mention spain started to slowly get its wheels turning again on monday as the rate of deaths and infections markedly slowed there but one spanish emergency doctor we spoke to thinks it might be too early. Lever there. Im very skeptical about this because the number of infections has not slowed down the numbers are unclear the number of infections when adjusted for population puts spain among the worst hit countries in the world this is a very risky and dangerous decision it could trigger another surge i think this is juice of pressure from Big Companies and the stock market theres so much pressure in the country which is divided politically and is for some of the workforce to return to their jobs too soon demick isnt under control in spain is not right i think the europe suited to cancel isnt it doesnt consider human lives the disease can be stopped very strict quarantine and the faster its implemented the faster you can be lifted. Ever since the 1st corona virus reports emerge so too did questions about whether it was more or less dangerous than catching the flu when it was that that left governments open to work as asians that they hadnt moved fast enough during the early stages to prevent whats become a deadly pandemic gildas the same as the flu so the virus was fresh yes it will spread like by the way the flu spreads every year i really think judge you want to treat this like you treat the flu like. Influenza and coded 19 viral infections with similar symptoms and fever cough for teeth there are no symptoms with which you can distinguish current virus from flu so whats the difference why did the World Health Organization declare a pandemic and lead a 3rd of the planet into quarantine. What makes corona virus more dangerous than influenza are 2 key factors determine the dangers contagiousness and the death rate lets start with contagiousness. The flu transmission rate is 1. 00 that means that one infected person can pass flu. On to more than one other on average 1000 rate is 2. 5 doesnt so much worse doesnt it look where that leads if one person with flu infects another and that person transmits the virus to one more after 10 steps there will be 56. 00 infected people but with corona virus when each person infects a minimum of 2 people up to 10 steps that means more than 2000 are infected far worse than 56 the flu is and thats why the graphs shoot up so sharply. Remember when its only had 2 patients on friday 500 on monday. Period last from the moment of infection until symptoms appear influenzas incubation period is 2 days on average if someone gets sick and feels bad the next day and stays home they wont infect friends or colleagues but if someone has coded 19 they might not know theyre infected but they are still a carrier. The new virus differs from the old influenza also with the fact that humanity doesnt have the immunity the reason why it could be 19 is 2 times more contagious than influenza is in our lack of immunity to it its a new virus and no one was sick with that before plus coronavirus remains in the air for 3 hours and for up to 3 days on plastic and still surfaces. Most of us have had a bad cold or flu its not pleasant but few enjoy a serious complications 4 percent of people with the flu suffer pneumonia or other respiratory trauma coronavirus patients or 5 times more likely to develop complications. A lot of people dying from the flu the flu is a respiratory disease just like the corona virus it would be very similar to the flu we have to keep in mind that the common flu kills many more people thats just not true global flu mortality rate as a. Point one percent that still are lost every year 650000 people dying from. Every 1000. 900. 00 death rate has reached 3. 4 percent thats 34. 00 deaths in every one found the mortality of 0 point one percent this is a mortality of 10 times there this is a really serious problem that we have to take seriously in just a few months over 100000 people have died from corona virus scientists admit they dont know enough about from october of 99 and there is still no vaccine. In the estimate says that vaccines will only be really well me 2021. Although flu vaccines have been around for a long time and are effective at reducing infections the flu vaccine does not treat coronavirus so despite what you. Talked about her autobiography being so much more deadly doesnt really quite true reality dont believe everything you the only accurate comparison is when it comes to prevention just like keeping away the flu wash your hands you sanitizers reduced social contact and stay informed from trusted sources. Whenever and try to do their best pharmaceutical firms working flat to develop vaccines and treatments here in russia patients whove recovered are helping doctors now by donating their blood plasma without bodies for transfusion and to others who are still sick one of the 1st donors talk to sue it works. But im going to be needed i became a donor 2 weeks after i was discharged from hospital as far as i know there was the time when the concentration offense bodies in my blood had reached its peak i received a call from the hospital and they asked if they could boss my personal data to another medical institution then a team of medics from school if i saw schemes to cheat came to take my blood for testing 4 days after i learned the results were good enough to be a donor. So well but its the procedure itself is rather simple and takes about an hour during this time youre surrounded by medics who are monitoring your condition its not scary its fast and causes no were losing sleep in consciousness anyone who came through this conveyed infection could do the same if it was said my ploughs might help 2 or 3 people who are about to be put on ventilators. Youd better put on a medical mask yourself and then see people Wearing Masks and house months and run you for a month you shouldnt think this wont happen to you i thought i was immune to this disease because i hadnt been you know for 13 years but it happened anyway its better to stay at home for a month or 2 then stay in a great forever. This is. Today were you choose didnt run the world hope things go in a cave for you coming up self isolation get strict here in moscow presence can only leave their homes for essential reasons while a digital system for. Travel becomes compulsory from tomorrow will tell a bit more about us older than after the break. Projected to reach 30 percent in america higher than the Great Depression the stock markets up 30 percent from. The size of the Central Bank Balance sheet has expanded by trillions so the question is which came 1st the expansion of the Central Bank Balance sheet or unemployment what is the cause and what is the effect as weve been saying on the show for 10 years Central Bank Balance sheet expansion causes the unemployment because it causes the deflation that causes the economic duress that creates the unemployment. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see you then. Again so as was mentioned before the break this trip to force what measures come into force here in moscow from wednesday the city is russias worst affected area right now from factions and itll be mandatory from tomorrow to get a digital permit to travel around the region either by personal public transport of the 2774 new cases here in russia the past 24 hours more than half again were in moscow maybe not so unsurprisingly that one he goes down off explains how the capitals travel permit system is going to work. So moscow is one step closer to a full log down starting wednesday every citizen must obtain a special electronic pass to get to work as long as theyre moving not on foot but be on their personal car on a bicycle or even a scooter they will have to have one but as im talking to plenty of Police Officers so far they cant give me a clear answer as to how they will be enforcing and even just checking whether or not a person has such a pass well weve been here for over an hour now and frankly picture wise all we could get so far is Something Like a really low budget parody of the lord of the rings you know trees open vistas and people on horses there is literally nobody noticed saw in this park right now partially probably because people are afraid of the new fines but also its because. This whole massive park has been taped off sending a clear message to everyone that well youre not welcome here youre not allowed here on the premises and well that there will be police here patrolling the park but literally a moment afterward corded this something that we didnt really expect could happen happened a chase. In the park it seemed there were as many people to talk to as squirrels so we moved to central moscow to find out whether or not its citizens are aware of the new measures who stood still for me personally it was easy to get past for a mobile phone number that was all you know trouble im said all i have it in my band in that it was medical i didnt know anything about it or used to pass my employer is now pretty similar problems cause i know about the system but i dont have the past yet its quite hard to find a link to the site but i will get it. Looks you were depleted the police told me about the bass today they said ill need it starting on 15th of april every single day the russian capital sees a 1000 plus of new over 1000. 00 cases so now the Mayors Office is tightening the screws but so far every single policeman that ive talked with what theyre telling me that the only tool theyre using to enforce this is well just words theyre convincing people to stay home and fines theyre telling me is an absolute last resort measure so the main question persists will that be enough for people to listen without any further financial motivation well time will tell on what will china recorded its highest daily infections in more than a month on sunday saying most were chinese nationals returning from here in russia beijings no sent a group of medics to share their knowledge of tackling covert 19 we talked to 2 of them. They dont think its a new virus we dont know much about it weve already learned is that everyone is susceptible to infection age gender and race and in the course of that we should be very careful government should act to bring it under control and the media should cover it more this virus is affecting everybody we can close our eyes to. We do believe the moscow is taking effective measures to prevent the spread of the virus there are many people or cars in the streets people Wearing Masks thats good is believe in the next few weeks will reach the peak of the outbreak we believe widespread testing made really helps control the disease as it allows a sick person to be isolated very early on while i am there in china we worked out for important steps to control the virus 1st we track down as quickly as possible those who have potentially been impacted we then isolate the individual and start cheating them if the virus is confirmed we assess their state to determine whether the infection is mild moderate severe or critical after this is sent patients to different hospitals depending on the severity of their illness this process helped us to bring down the death rate and to prevent those in the 1st 2 categories from becoming more seriously oh. Israels double down or Movement Restrictions in some densely populated jerusalem districts noncompliance and ultraorthodox neighborhoods so infection spike at one point the know what sealed off with police guards is a middle east correspondent paula. Im here at one of the staple checkpoints to measure women ultra orthodox neighborhood introducing them now as you can see in and out is forbidden and least you have special permission and this is a measure that the Israeli Government imposed on sunday its to try and contain the spread of the virus which is the most prevalent in these ultraorthodox neighborhoods its absolutely critical that all of the people that are living in the ultra religious neighborhoods will stay at home the message to the public and also to the leaders of the communities the rabbis is to make sure that people are distancing from one another not getting close we seeing that there are large families with 510 even 15 People Living in one apartment and therefore its absolutely necessary that people stay at home so we have another checkpoint that goes into masha reem i want to be able to see whether or not we can instead but hes probably going to ask me for some kind of id and oh hi and yes maddy very good remember im a journalist yes you want to forward this area i can can only go to the syrians just to meet them. And then go into the city and go back through this. Street over here thank you very much that i can only go in this area the problem is that in these ultra orthodox neighborhoods people live in close proximity to each other and theyve also been disobeys the distancing rules so all of the more than 11000 cases that they are currently in israel the majority of them are coming from all too often neighborhoods like michel really the top of the river is good the police are out on patrol but unfortunately they often dont follow protocol they dont send officers the right targets these a lot of force there are places that they close more others they closed last year you can say the police are doing good work this is the situation what has to be done its intense but its definitely necessary theres a lot of distance for nation a lot of people to have smartphones internet in these. It is and they dont understand how serious it is serious if we run out of ventilators so theyre definitely doing what they need to do and it could be that they should be doing even more with the lockdown is an excellent thing theres no choice it saves people and thats the bottom line the police are very considerate but we have to police ourselves thats how it should be and it causes its a little disturbing sometimes the police are here sometimes they are there its really frustrating everybody is nervous there is a very tense feeling in the air but we hope it will bass. This is a synagogue in the heart of massively him and precisely because people are continuing to congregate 3 times a day to pray in synagogues the police have been force this locked down now the son of god is a 100 years old it is the 1st time in its history that it has shut its doors were making sure that were the right place at the right time as well as that our units are also going inside synagogues and making sure there are no public gatherings weve seen a lot of gatherings that have taken place people that have come to pray that something that were preventing it is now compulsory to wear a mask in public not doing so well see you find one and a half 1000. 00 which more than a 100 israelis so far did from the coronavirus the police will continue to take this very seriously here r.
