Thats the infix there are no guarantees that the infection kovel keep flattening out there are also risks and when we take these small careful steps into opening up we must keep an eye on the infection curve and what it means for our Health System and our hospitals. As in many countries germany shut down has devastated the hospitality sector in dresden restaurant workers there set out empty tables and chairs on the Central Square to highlight the crisis theyre dealing with and the munich people wholly safe distance demonstration calling the lockdown disproportionate on most of the population is staying safe refugees in shelters or in much higher risk as peter oliver reports as germany gets set to ease coronavirus restrictions not everywhere in the country has been successful in stopping the spread of the virus some Refugee Centers have seen a spike in the number of cases at one in the south of the country almost half of the 600 residents tested positive this week do you feel mood and isolation we suspect that maybe people with coby 19 whove been in the facility for a long time and that theyve shown no symptoms of the disease and that they could have passed on the virus the facility in but involved in bird houses people from nigeria iraq syria and turkey who are waiting to have their asylum applications process the action taken by authorities to this localized outbreak is causing concern theyre seeing these people as a kind of threat and danger it seems to be an acceptable strategy to pack the Police Outside and make sure nobody comes in and nobody comes out its another center not far from frankfurt theres a similar picture with around 60 residents testing positive out of 170 in the far northeast of the country the Refugee Council of mecklenburg West Pomerania has voiced some serious concerns about an asylum application. Center on their patch with bunk beds the required minimum distance of 1. 5 to 2 meters cannot be maintained this is added and anyone who recklessly last people leave in a massacre mandation in this situation their Health Authorities in the region which just so happens to be represented in the bomb the start by chancellor Angela Merkel have been quick to rubbish criticism of the way coronavirus is being tackled among asylum applications in coordination with the Health Authorities every effort is being made to prevent the spread of infection within the countrys primary care facilities and in Community Commendation in the current emergency situation Infection Control for staff Asylum Seekers and the population is a priority that comes as berlin is quite rightly being praised for having tackled coronavirus nationally in a robust and fact based way on friday Health Minister yen spahn described the situation in germany as under control you know that. We have moments to bring the Dynamic Growth back to linear growth the infection numbers have decreased significantly is bitchy with relative increases from day to day the outbreak has now become manageable and controllable again ultimately what these localised outbreaks in Asylum Centers show is that if you drop your guard for just a moment when it comes to fighting or trying to stop the spread of this virus then it will be exploited peter all of our r. T. Berlin. President trump he expects between 60. 65 americans to die from covert 19 thats down from his earlier estimate of 100000 the president claims the countrys infection rate is now pink and hes unveiled plans to gradually ease the log down on the east Trinity Chavez explains white house pushing to get the economy moving again or approach outlawed. It is 3 phases in restoring our Economic Life and we are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time issuing new guidelines to get the country up and running the 1st phase officials must see a 2 week decline in the number of people with covert symptoms and the percentage of people testing positive for the virus must also decrease than face to allowing all nonessential travel School Activities and elective surgeries to continue some states will be able to open up sooner than others. But hard hit new york and new jersey have to wait the state continues to see an increase in covert cases new York Governor Andrew Cuomo extending stay at home orders he calls new york pause until may 15th but it could be longer what is the final conclusion of this our great chapter i still believe it when we have a vaccine with more than 226000 infections and more than 16000 deaths new york is still seeing around 2000 new cases a day city remaining the epicenter of the outbreak officials working to open testing sites in the citys poorest and hardest hit communities so were talking about folks in some of the lowest income communities in a city people in communities of color that have borne the brunt of this crisis immigrant communities while Governor Cuomo is issuing an executive order directing all public and private labs in new york to coordinate with the department of health to ensure prioritizing of diagnostic testing he says thats still not enough to test the millions of people needed to reopen new yorks economy we dont have a testing system that can do this volume or there can be ramped up to do this von. We dont have a Public Health casting system by the way its de minimis if you look at what our Government Departments of health have we need a coordinated approach between the federal government and the states right now. The main testing lab for the state can perform about 300 antibody tests per day while officials believe they can grow that number to 2000 test a day in the coming weeks with nearly 20000000 residents in new york the governor says the state needs all the help they can get from the federal government. In the meantime u. S. Politicians continues a blame china for the pandemic and republican senator Lindsey Graham suggested washington should punish beijing with sanctions as the largest state sponsor of pandemics this is the 3rd or 4th pandemic that came out of china what should we do to the largest state sponsor of pandemics on the globe which is saying in china well since the coronavirus appeared in december numerous conspiracy theories of flooded the internet and idea that the virus was created in a Bio Weapons Lab and has gained widespread coverage in the us media and donald trump is administration be more than willing to fuel such speculation. A lot of people are looking there seems to make sense they talk about a certain kind of bet but that was it in that area if you can believe this thats what theyre den to know is bats but that bat is not in that area that bat was installed at that whetstone it wasnt sold there that bat is 40 miles away so a lot of strange things are happening but there is a lot of investigation going on and were going to find out if we know they have this lab we know about the wet markets we know that the virus itself did originate in a will haunt so all those things come together are still a lot we dont know. The number of the White House Coronavirus taskforce has debunked the theory of the virus being created in a lab and in fact she that is a leading expert on Infectious Diseases said the pattern of mutations shows the virus jumped directly from an animal to human while china reserves the u. S. To start making claims with no scientific basis so it would. Have repeatedly stated that there isnt any evidence that you corona virus was produced 3 many medical experts in the world also believe the socalled liberal elite hypothesis has no scientific basis. The British Foreign secretary has echoed the anti china rhetoric coming out of washington dominant rob said that there can be no business as usual with beijing after the crisis and that hard questions need to be asked about how the outbreak began journalist daniel its our belief that the blame game being led by donald trump is merely a way of deflecting responsibility. Clearly what were seeing here are charges that are political in nature i mean trump has mishandled this whole crisis so scandals like america has got maybe a few cases having more cases than any other country in the world in a matter of 2 months and trump has been contradictory half hearted ineffectual saying once any one moment another thing another moment so this crisis began so clearly trying to strike out at a distract attention from his own theres more record and by attacking china thats just plain as day the evidence so far as its against the allegations that theyre really fighting an uphill battle they have nothing to go on its religious based on pure anti chinese still that. Millions of Orthodox Christians around the world are celebrating easter from a much anticipated ceremony has just taken place in jerusalem an hour ago the holy father was lit the church of the holy sepulture other events takes place each year inside a chapel in the center of the church which orthodox believe is considered to be to the cross thousands of pilgrims travel to jerusalem to light candles from the flame that is not happening this year however the holy father will later be flown to Orthodox Christian nations including greece and russia. Has more on the celebrations. 100 fire has always been a symbol of hope hope that the end of the world has not yet come but this east is the most significant religious holiday for some 300000000 people things are different this easter is different we will not go to our villages we will not barbecue in our yards we will not go to our churches and of course we will not gather in the homes of relatives and friends for us to continue being together this year we stay apart they are no good find oprah. Sessions no hags and kisses no joyous celebrations that christ has risen this is the main church where the miracle takes place but it is closed as part of a nationwide lockdown its all part of the governments attempt to push back on the coronavirus and as a result is banned all mess gatherings something that has the countrys Ultra Orthodox Jewish community up in arms was. Murdered by a doctor that in. The hour all across the world churches urged people to pray and stay at home some churches even live streamed through social media other Christian Communities celebrated easter 7 days ago with pope francis praying alone in st Peters Square many Christian Churches urge programs to spend this holy day at home. Russia has registered more than 4700 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours is the highest single day increase so far the death toll stands now at 330 here in moscow the merits of day to day digital past system which had some glitches earlier in the week its now automated so ask a teller explains. All new measures which is used here in the capital which is suffering the brunt of the credit by risk in russia essentially thats now a hospice which means that you need a passport everything especially to travel to and from what now is the most dramatic stand out that passes do we get extended until the 1st of may he did also admit that the imposing costs jim did have its cheating issues at the very beginning. So the main issue that we stalled out was the time that was needed or sorties to physically check each and every part of it which is why as part of the. New match starting from next wednesday the 22nd of april everything will now be done electronically automatically so here in moscow it doesnt cost the detroit cut that he used to travel on the metro from next wednesday you have to link your travel permit to that card so essentially if you dont do that put your car down and try to get what the bar is just way too open and you wont be allowed to travel through we also saw a build up of cars especially in the size 24 hours of the process dont was introduced we had stories of people waiting for up to several hours as authorities very diligently checked through all that document that also is going to be made much more efficient because not cameras will be chatting and scanning which cars have the white pants and which tote now us against the plan and thats the most magic you recognize of course this is not a plan for one western nation is causing financial and psychological distress to a lot of people but that it is necessary and that it is bringing results so in the next he said that while the numbers of rising in russia that are actually not growing exponentially and he actually to pad moscow to new york because their cities are roughly the same population and he said that so far here in russia he managed to avoid the development of that american scenario. The u. N. Is sworn in that Economic Hardship caused by nation wide shut downs could cost more lives than the coronavirus itself that story still to come. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Im not for decapitating anybody but i am for to capitalizing all the wall street bankers by shifting the center of gravity of money from the dollar and fear to a bit coin and thats perfectly within our purview into our scope as global citizens who wish Justice Justice truth free competition and hard money thats the only justice stud matters thats just staying up all thats real that doesnt rely on politicians. Will comply columnists making diet predictions for the long term impact of the pandemic according to the International Monetary fund the United States will suffer its worst recession since the Great Depression the chinas economy the impact has already been severe. We can see that a sudden attack youve created 19 has indeed had a pretty big impact on the Economic Performance of our country in the 1st quarter Major Economic indicators clearly declined but we must also see that in march there is indicators showed signs of a rebound and a decline has been reduced the Oxford EconomicsResearch Firm is predicting a global recession in the 1st over 2020 far worse than the last financial crisis of 2008 theyre saying the global output will contract by 7 percent and that china is facing a 12 percent downturn and im sure commentator charlie boe believes that the impacts will be long lasting. Most of the economies around the world will have recovered from initial shock but people have to understand. Their economy before its not going to be the same and after theres going to be a permanent loss and destruction of that economic productivity. Because people they should be doing nothing for 2 or 3 months economically its going to take years to get her i think this is a global problem pretty much everyones got the same issue but if you remember what happened before we came into this crisis we already had large levels of debt in the world and. This is are as a direct result and in my opinion on the back of the years of austerity never really got over 3 dimensional crisis in 2008 so this is really going up to nancy to try and make our entire system a lock for a start i think it will get the people to harvest in pretty much every country were going to have to again increase the deficit and the debt and future generations are going to have to pay. Head of the Uns World Food Programme has warned that the economic shock of the covert 19 pandemic could in some countries be far deadlier than the virus itself he says that at least 30000000 people are at risk of dying of starvation if critical funding is cut off the court has more. As the worlds battle with the coronavirus rages on one has to wonder what will happen when the smoke clears tens of millions of people are already dependent on the Uns World Food Program for meals if that were to lose funding all of those people would be threatened with starvation if we lost all funding a minimum of 30000000. 00 would die over a 3 month period that would be 300000 people dying per day thats why leaders have got to balance out the response with keeping the economy going because otherwise a lot more people will die from starvation and economic deterioration than from kofi itself even before the pandemic the world had a serious food crisis on its hands the World Economic forum says that over 820000000 people were going to bed hungry now Many Organizations are indicating that the situation can get much much worse we fully agree with the 1st. Of the measures that they can place the Police Report but we also believe that will dump food the food chain. To be able to have pulled out by low for consumers to move the potential risk over on the north and of course forward its a crisis of the International Markets under the lockdown the very supply chains of transnational corporations are breaking apart food cant be processed delivered or received between countries within countries everywhere for the developing world that means famine could be just around the corner especially now that humanitarian relief is also being obstructed by the lockdowns widespread poverty a reliance on imported food and rising prices are all a recipe for disaster according to the United Nations for the millions living in lockdown countries that fit that criteria food is running out across africa clashes between hungry people in the police are already taking place. Was. Many governments of the developing world are struggling with a terrible dilemma see their people die from the coronavirus or see them die from starvation while in the developed world of the main dilemma is containing the corona virus through look downs and then dealing with the Economic Impact in the developing world apart from containing the virus and dealing with the economic crisis the biggest worry now is people dying of hunger that doesnt mean the journey from farm to plate isnt obstructed in the developed world in the United States dairy farms are dumping thousands of gallons of milk a day because they cant be sold at the same time retailers are fearing a shortage of milk and theyre limiting the amount that consumers can buy as for fruits and vegetables 5000000000. 00 worth had been wasted for the same reason one of americas largest pork processing plants has even been closed because of the virus the closure of this facility combined with a growing list of all the protein plants that have shifted across our industry is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of all meat supply it is impossible to keep all Grocery Stores stalked if not running the chaos of the free market is rearing its ugly head in more ways than just one week by week millions more are flocking to unemployment lines and food banks the early indicators of a global food crisis are there before our very eyes we should ask ourselves how much farther can the global Food Supply Chain bend before it breaks senior economist at the uns food and Agriculture Organization told us the crisis needs a concerted International Response been people to stay home and work and stay home obviously create the option to value for food no food get harvested than it has to be processed that has to be quit of the shell obviously maybe disruption india india because of the lockdown. And because of the fact that people are literally physical workers cannot probably move around from one place to another so there is want to the problem and the other sort of problem is that a lot of people especially poor people if they dont go to work they dont have any they dont have the money cannot buy the proof we are talking about also countries where malnutrition already is huge government would need to have you know appliances safety nets to be able to reach these people and to make sure that they have to be more food that is really needed the problem is these countries cannot afford it so they need help they need support and the help has to come from the richer countries if the richer countries today are very much engaged of course for their own people the message from the f. A. Always do not forget the poor once you cause if the problem is not resolved globally you will come back and haunt everybody again.

Oh max kaiser this is the kaiser requires the response has been overwhelming people are demanding for staceys pro way kaiser report and you know as we continue with the lock downs and the bailouts because of a lot downs from the coronavirus couvade 19 pandemic situation sweeping the world fairness is what justice really is and that was a quote from Potter Stewart who was a Supreme Court justice member Sandra Day Oconnor took over for him afterward fairness is what justice really is so as we look at these bailouts and the lack of fairness that weve seen. Since the intervention of the fed days so say in 1907 when the plunge Protection Team and Alan Greenspan came to the rescue of the bad bets made on wall street chicago. And ever since and weve had more and more and more unfair system it starts off a little bit unfair and as we see like a little change of direction way back then in history becomes a huge gap we see that with the wealth and income gaps and we see that with every single crash and the subsequent bailouts gets worse and worse towards the very wealthy and the connected so when weve already covered the trillions going to the banks instantly and the fact that the ordinary person is struggling to read well you know waiting desperately for the stimulus checks to arrive to them the measly little ones you know when the fed is buying these collateralized Loan Obligations you have to realize that 81 percent of them are owned just by j. P. Morgan Wells Fargo Bank of america and citibank just those 4 banks own 81 percent of it so those are the guys getting bailed out by the fed in the meantime u. S. Housing j. P.
