Good afternoon and welcome here with your global news update this is r. T. International. Almost all with the latest figures on the covert 90 pandemic which more than 2000000 cases now having been registered worldwide 135000 lives have been lost the United States has the highest death toll followed by italy and spain and so far more than half a 1000000 people have recovered from the virus globally. The u. N. Childrens fund is one of a possible resurgence of measles 3 to the curve in 1000 pandemic according to unicef millions of children a risk of missing the vaccines that follows will Health Organization guidelines issued in late march saying immunization should be postponed or measles is an easily preventable viral disease according to the w. H. O. Targets at least 95 percent of people need to be vaccinated so many countries could fall short of that target if quarantine measures continue we heard from robin and the chief of immunization in the south he says that any vaccine delays must be temporary these 117000000. 00 children that we estimate are going to miss out on measles vaccination over the next several months are. Those children that we miss out on because the land mass campaigns have been rescheduled or or temporarily suspended why have they been temporarily suspended because we do not want our delivery of immunization. To contribute to the spread of corbett so we recommended a temporary suspension of these mosque campaigns in addition to campaigns routine delivery of Immunization Services are also being hampered so in addition to me those children are not getting vaccines for other diseases like diptheria protests polio and so on so you know this our statement gives a snapshot into a much bigger problem that. We have in immunization asan for measles theres a whole list of diseases that could reappear according to the Gavi Vaccine Alliance think late polio in color but none the again says that after the current pandemic is over countries must not lose sight of other infections. If you talk about the entire world we estimate that there are. Approximately 20000000 children. That are either unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated so these 20000000. 00 are unprotected to the end to the range of vaccine preventable disease that this is in the really covert context this figure is going to rise. Considerably and will rise more and more the longer this destruction persists the planning needs to start now what we dont want. Is. You know a country affected by call that 19 recovering from the core with 19 old brick and then faced with an outbreak of vaccine preventable these are advised to to parents is you know depending on what country you live in depending on what the. Situation is you know follow the you know Public Health instructions you know provided by your ministry as soon as these restrictions lifted. Please keep a record of what. Your child might have missed and please go out as soon as possible to your nearest presumably. To receive these vaccines the United States is registered 2400. 00 deaths from cova 19 in just the past 24 hours that is the high single day ficus i phone brings the total loss of life to more than 28000 across the country according to official data least 27 doctors and nurses have died from the virus but media reports quote much higher i think as some medics have taken to the streets there blaming the government for the severe shortage of protective equipment. It was. Like he was really. The rally that took place outside a hospital in new york that has been devastated by the pandemic the citys death toll now stands at 10003 tons more than china medics carried signs demanding urgent action to get supplies of p. P. Aid thats personal protective equipment where it is needed and emotions boiled over the protests with nurses saying that they are risking their lives because of government incompetence sawdust. Just. What we. Dont like this corona virus then damn it if you do let us. Work. Our way. Lets think about the fact that the mount sinai bosses right now are in their mansions in florida while theyre nurses and dying because they cant get the proper v. P. And they just dont give a damn they dont care about all the lies the loaded the gun the played russian roulette with working peoples lies within the consequence. Was a lie from the lack of protective equipment medics in the us said that the Health Insurance system is putting peoples lives at risk a post by a nurse a nice the test went viral on facebook theyre explicit recalled the final words that he heard from a patient whod been put onto a ventilator those words were whos going to pay for it the nurse in question spoke with r. T. And it was really sad because someone who is you know potentially going to die i think the last thing they should be worried about is how to pay for their health care it speaks to a misallocation of fun you know we have almost endless Discretionary Spending for militarism. We recently just you know injected 1. 00 trillion dollars into the stock market so just that is that that but when it comes to health care you know the constant question is whos going to pay for it which is the same question as the patient ironically. And you know it just shows where the priorities are well i dont know that its necessary to have a multibillion dollar annual military budget you know which with our legit department of defense where i think the real honest effort to defend would be with providing care for our citizens especially with the amount of people that just lost their insurance thats type of their employment as you know a lot of people just lost their jobs with this pandemics. The Economic Situation in new york is rapidly deteriorating an estimated half a 1000000 people have lost their livelihoods because of the pandemic and some are even unable to put food on the table on the street if you travis reports from the city. Today new york city mayor bill de blasio shifting focus to Food Insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic this crisis is now adding to that number of people who are food insecure every day because literally people run out of money every single day well over a 1000000 people in new york city where food and secure before cove in 1000 including one in every 5 children as unemployment grows many are going hungry we need to. Keep our family eating. And we have to take a rest the mayor announcing a 170000000. 00 initiative to fight hunger in the city 50000000. 00 of which will go to building up an emergency food reserve for backup saying that since the pandemic more than 500000 people lost their livelihood when it comes to Something Like unemployment the effects get felt more deeply week after week it doesnt all happen i want to guess she gets tougher as we go along so. I think whats coming up is going to be even more of a challenge and thats why were preparing right now to feed everyone this while the citys Homeless Population seeks refuge with no place to go as new york remains the epicenter of the outbreak with over 200000 cases and more than 10000 deaths the city announcing that they plan to move 6000 Homeless People about a 3rd of shelter residents from shelters into hotels by april 20th the coalition for the homeless saying that the move does not come close to meeting the scale or urgency of the need this while new York Governor Andrew Cuomo along with governors from several other Eastern States are working to coordinate the reopening of the region and its economy while governments grapple with how to reopen people on the streets of new york have mixed feelings i know everyone in new york is so anxious to go back but we have to take things slow and. Slow we take in more time we have to. Go back to work in a safe environment and the death toll decreasing 600 to 800 people a day is still too high and has to come down way down before me to feel safe to get back on a train or do anything well the curve continues to flatten in new york and neighboring new jersey the 2nd most impacted state cases continue to climb today the state has more than 68000 cases and nearly 3000 deaths Governor Phil Murphy telling residents not to expect the lockdown rules to be lifted until june at the earliest reporting in new york Trinity Chavez are. The mother supply firms in the u. S. Side that matters are being made worse by tariffs on chinese products and they are urging President Trump to lift those restrictions for the moment as a story. As the us emerges as the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic donald trump is Standing Firm on his america 1st policies sticking to a trade war with china over urgent and essential medical supplies that are now running short everyone has been discussing the requirements for more vents but no one is discussing the need for patients when they are on the vents the sedatives and the 38th and paralytic agents demand and no supply partly due to a 25 percent tariff thats been imposed d and the trumpet ministration is not willing to completely lift it some of the goods produced in china are essential and cannot be replaced for example youve got chinese made fabric in bed sheets these sheets are desperately needed because hospitals have dramatically increasing the number of beds available for the in spate it surge in coded 1000 patients some special medical equipment for anesthesia cannot be produced without the built in ventilators that are made in china at this point the demand is 10 times what is available and the price of Hand Sanitizer has also gone up due to u. S. Tariffs. At the end of the day the consumer alten with police having to be price gouged and pay a kings ransom for something we desperately need to give them and they cant afford to live without so sadly the tariffs have continued to drive into the pockets of february American Consumer all the companies that are pushing for the terrorists to be lifted saying that its necessary to fight the pandemic and american lives are at stake the us trade secretary doesnt agree in imposing tyrus on goods from china as part of the section 3 a one action the United States determines north impose tariffs on certain critical products such as ventilators oxygen masks and nebulizers in addition over the past year the u. S. Trade representative granted exclusions for a large number of Health Related products notably the imposition of tariffs on certain chinese imports has not resulted in an overall decline in the availability of needed medical equipment and supplies but experts say the terrorists have never really been fully lifted at this point 3300000000. 00 worth of critical Important HealthCare Products and only had the tariff reduced by 7. 5 percent it seems that Donald Trumps obsessive opposition to china as well as his idea of wanting to appear is that deal maker could be putting american lives at risk here with mop and archie new york we heard from financial analyst benjamin chalo who believes that the u. S. Needs to save lives rather than engage in trade wars and also heard from professor of politics joseph a hony thinks that trump is in no position to relax pressure on china. Theres been a lot of debate about whether or not were seeing the emergence of a new world order and whether or not china is winning and this so i think that what were going to see is is you know not a relaxing but a doubling down and a commitment to this strategy of trying to limit and contain china that trump initiated once he took Office Finally i dont think trump is concerned very much about whether or not were going to have supplies from china i think theres whole strategy at this point depends on trying to contain things until we get to the warmer months and hope for a vaccine as a Silver Bullet in your own dreaming trade warnocks a lot of 3 missing u. S. Economists have already expressed a view that even the economy is to 1st priority continuing their pirates is the 1st task to do because economic value can only be created by People Like Us the 2nd quarter this year is widely expected to contract 36 percent and then any rights basis and people are really losing their jobs for them that is a clear example of that the world wants join hands to quite their powers it recurs country in fighting to drive is we determine the time victory otherwise to virus free travel bag to other countries and trade war hes exactly against global stationing trade very tripe for the rose economic growth. Then did the nation wide shut Small Business and as a saying that millions of people could be left will bring you the full story after this break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics sport im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back france has recorded its worst single day death toll from cove of 19 more than 1400 fatalities were announced on wednesday bringing the total to 17000 going to the Health Minister the spike in numbers is to 2 a delay in reporting following the 3 days to a weekend while the nation was shut down staking a severe toll on the economy reports. This week president told from the lockdown would and on may 11th while that means citizens will apparently be able to leave their homes and some businesses will we start thats not the case. You are some Lonely People however Public Places restaurants cafes and hotels cinemas and museums will remain closed at this stage with no end date for when they can reopen some restaurants and cafes are starting to stress this year. Through all the challenges that. Never arisen over the years with. Strikes on the make sure the terrorists attacks and so we can always go in confidently here. What is happening now really has. Got to the or where we actually do anything Small Businesses cafes such as this the pallet in and restaurants are seen as being the life blood of the National Economy of france and that is particularly true here in paris when they were shut down as being no one essential business is back in march some claim that that would herald an economic catastrophe and those warnings are serving true. Figure in france is 945. 00 was minus 2. 2 percent in 2009 after the financial crisis of 2008 we will probably be very thought beyond minus 2. 2 percent this year the government has announced packages worth tens of billions of euros to help save jobs and prop up the economy but poor baron again says though this is aided his employees onis like himself have been left in a tight jam. Theres been no is that as owners were not so theyre reading per se with both companies so at this stage there has been no help for us this is the 1st time in my life that there is that strange case of how im going to pay my mortgage how am i going to you know youre on the table and so i guess the stress of that is real thing a Business Owner and i look at it. Months probably before were kind of in trouble business is feeling the pressure can apply for loans but paul says the interest free period is only a year and he doesnt think taking on debt with so much uncertainty is prudent they can give as many loans to the cows come home. But it is but we dont want to do is get into too much debt because then i have this idea that very hard to get out of it i think what would help us is that instead of just freezing Social Security just saying hey look you dont have to pay. Has that and thats probably one of my biggest expenses this is curious if they came out and said look see at the basis of security at all then that would give us the kind of hope that one sweet get back we dont have coming off. Each month when cafes and restaurants reopen they may also have to contend with full tourists that will certainly hit hard hit in paris now added to that concern is that even locals may be feeling the pinch from the recession and less likely to part with a catch so perhaps treat such as a specialty coffee or eating out may be off the menu putting even further strain on Small Businesses such as these poll describes himself as being an entrepreneur and he told me that with the right help his business will pull through even if that means adapting and changing how they operate but for that to happen it needs to start with one key ingredient clarity from the government so they can say that they are open for business so lets even ski auty paris. And pubs in the u. K. Are facing a similar crisis theyve been for almost a month now and one landlord in norwich posted this video coming up nashua rather south side. I. Cite of kegs of beer being tipped down the drain according to some estimates 1550000000 pints will go to waste if the lockdown continues across the summer and we heard from the man in the video philip cutter explain why had to dump his supplies. The problem is that we had beer. That was it was opened and caught you just know that bacteria were just good friends it better not cellars so we had to pour it down the drain just to be able to dispose of it in that short period time that was 50 to 50 gallons or so of being the richest of the big and our salaries were looking at almost a 1000 gallons of begetting that obviously replicate across the country just wouldnt be feasible to get into the water system in the short term we can certainly look at. That i mean our bales and people will flow through probably about 6 times but weve been well established a fair number here as ive worked here since the age of 15 and that was 33 years ago. That there havent been trading for quite as long as want to stab race havent quite as good cash flow so dale did really really struggle. Now with british pubs and key tourist sites closed normally busy side saw looking somewhat deserted the chairman of the campaign for relayer nick antonio leaves many businesses just wont make it through the crisis. Which when we get through this crisis start to see. The pubs opening but not all of them are probably going to reopen initially so we could see if anything else of d the pubs available in an area d we could see come of some of the makea independent pubs not reopening because its just not fun its you know it will for the many people we could see some of the big pop code shots in because again licensees just cant make the business because of the you know the hates theyve still got the day they the crew. The shop and then some of the relief that the government its giving to 2 businesses in this country doesnt apply to all of the pubs specially those big up ups in more expensive parts who have got rights but you. They dont qualify for some of the regular. Business rates really d the government has given so Small Businesses so fully expect. Well here in russia more than 3000 new cases of covert 19 of being registered over the past day and it brings the total to nearly 28232 people are known to have died from the virus some new measures came into force this week as well in moscow anyone with a valid reason for leaving their home needs to carry a digital pass and while theres a Large Scale Research effort going on nationwide to find potential treatments for covert 19 we heard from 2 specialists the wages of all of them to give them any antigenic substances for a molecules are identified by the immune system to be removed by antibodies so when an antigen gets into the body sooner or later it will lead to the creation of antibodies and thats the basis of vaccination the use of a vaccine requires an active immunity which can respond to a low strength microorganisms injected into the body so that antibodies can develop the same process goes on in the body of an infected person so when we use the plasma of a recovered person were creating a kind of serum of the contains a large number of already developed antibodies its passive immunotherapy which is then expected to remove the virus at the moment its the only 18 logical treatment for the infection and its difficult to say how many people it could save its also a question of recruiting donors production the correct implementation there are still many open questions because theres not enough experience of that method in use. Sometimes antibodies from one person can cause serious complications because as you understand blood plasma can say not only copied 19 antibodies but also antibodies to a large number of other superficial antigens also one persons antibodies could cause a kind of an auto immune side effect thats why a plasma transfusion will be used only for the seriously ill when it can possibly help rather than harm ok then staying with us here on r.
