Crisis. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow and thanks for tuning in this hour lets begin with the latest figures on coded 19 the Global Pandemic is still raging the number of confirmed coronavirus cases has now surpassed 3000000 a grim milestone more than 882000 people have recovered but the number of fatalities has risen to more than 207000. With the World Health Organization warning that the worst of coronavirus may yet be to come for africa some countries on the continent are taking a novel approach to stopping the spread. Of explains. On the surface africa appears to have escaped the worst of it so far so only about 30000 cases and a 1000 deaths for a continent thats home to more than a 1000000000 people but thats on the surface and already Health Care Systems at the colonies are crumbling at the same town while were dealing with govan night eat pandemic were also on the break of a hunger pandemic for the crawler virus even became an issue i was saying that 2020 would be facing the worst humanitarian crisis as war 2 were competing with the developed world the very future of the continent will depend on how this matter is handled it is getting competitive rich nations are buying up mosques and gloves and ventilators this quickly as theyre produced leaving poorer nations with nothing International Aid be it food or medicine or money is slowing to a trickle even the w. H. Who is warning that things could get very ugly within africa could kill 300000 and forced millions into starvation it all depends on what we are discussing here which is are you testing are you finding the cases are you isolating and tracking the contacts the w. H. O. Report is not a prediction that means it must happen how is africa supposed to deal with a pandemic that is bored america to its knees especially without being able to print dollars in euros without foreign aid without advanced Healthcare Systems and the millions of africans western advice to self isolate and with from whom is something out of a fantasy its in and i dont have a source of income my normal work is to try and do peoples laundry but its been impossible to find work these days because of the fear of this disease attacks bravest acts conduct as badat border men and women they are locking in much the. Its market watch because so these people are us 400 but they walk on the mouse every crime will go up in slums because now there are a number of these people the country. We live in now in a low income area i dont have quite high at home so that has impacted mine i think it is because now we have to catch up in academics missing out on a lot of speeches in terms of our school work because it will be dismissed at an early period of time millions have new access to the internet to read warnings in the explanations what they have to reach imaginations be its graffiti informing people look the virus isnt a conspiracy placed in slums where poverty and misinformation a rife be it music the Legendary South African song paths of pat has been rewritten and re recorded with antiviral lyrics and this being said by more than a dozen african review stations. Its no surprise that on a continent where funerals can involve a song and dance that music is on the front lines in the fight against who would. Africa is being left to fend for itself charity has become a luxury no one expects a miraculous International Rescue so the continent does what it can at least it fights the virus on its own terms. And russia there are more than 87000 coronavirus cases with more than 6000 registered in the last 24 hours 800 people have died in the country moscow disinfection squads are working round the clock to help reduce the spread of covert 19 but theyre having to battle not just the outbreak but also public suspicion about their jobs are to. Join one team as it went about its work. To. Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut cut cut cut. Cut. Because the scope is of this infection is mostly carried out with chlorine preparations the preparations are good and certified they approved for use in childrens medical institutions we never observed problems using to. Cut. Them the pandemic 1st began in russia a lot of people didnt know how disinfection is carried out was scared of it many people didnt let anyone in the room is this swindlers and robbers masquerading as disinfect is coming to apartments when the disinfectant comes hes already wearing a protective suit and its hard to see his fights i. Thank you. I. Feel. As if it would be a good that we disinfect different places kids facilities hospital Public Places to work spaces and apartments. We disinfect around 40 or 50 places a day and thats just in one district if we talk about the whole city the number is 7 times higher than our already very active. Range when age and. Only. Say oh no here are they may show me. The mayor of las vegas has offered to make people in the city guinea pigs an experiment to open up despite the pandemic 3000000 people in Southern Nevada and weve had 150 deaths we have to open up we offered to be a control group. The citys economy is expected to be the worst hit in the u. S. As almost 40 percent of residents work in nonessential businesses that may have closed during the pen demick the state of an about us economy as a whole is also the most affected the number of those unemployed without insurance there has reached all time high we asked people in las vegas whether they approve of the mayor offering to reopen the city. I am nobody can be the play of this year which sets a good plan is open up and then let us the people decide whether or not going to go back to work on time so you know i keep my family safe and i think we all do the same thing we can all make fortune decisions for so i just happen to be Health Care Workers now i dont want to risk my life to be a guinea pig im already risking my life. Helping people that here that are already here that are testing positive i think its one out of every 10 people find employment or sell the Hospitality Business to sleep and its pretty much if we dont come back to normal were just not going to be normal that some kind of claim that were never going to make it. Over to mrs right ive been working the 14 years its like you actually want to hand. Over its going to a small city town the policy on what happened time and what is happening here its like wildfire. And this is not one of those because youre. A real blast from the past for us president ial candidate joe biden has a tape of a phone conversation from 1993 has led him in the middle of a sex scandal over what many see as a blatant double standard usually vocal me to activists and Mainstream Media take a very different tact this time saskia telecasts one. To bidens pretty famous face a hands on approach weve all seen the photos of him hugging kissing apartment even sniffing women as they squirm with the looks of discomfort on their faces but a recent resignation might well throw his president ial hopeful into a credibility crisis im wondering what that. Approach would. Go to the press in washington my daughter is there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problems that this is apparently the voice of tara greets mother and the problems shes referring to accusations of Sexual Assault how do automated gates to fight and back in 1903 when she was still sort of the what was up against the wall and he i remember the coldness of the war and i remember because he lived it took almost 3 weeks so much of the media to both have to report rates on occasions and when they finally got round to it it was funny creative whose side they found on no other a location about Sexual Assault surfaced in the course of reporting nor did any former biden Staff Members corroborate any details of misreads allegation the times found no better and of Sexual Misconduct by mr biden the times not to finding any pattern of Sexual Misconduct is confusing since in the same altar call it states that 7 other women have accused by dint of touching also confusing is why if you crucial once were removed when asked about that it this was the response. The Biden Campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of Sexual Misconduct why the times apparently altered its editorial content at the behest of the Biden Campaign as anyones guess but then again this is not the 1st time the media has whitewash the president ial hopefuls character previous incidents of inappropriate behavior often talk down to uncle joe being born in a different era. People i am grown men with shores who say you can do this. Is a warrior always miniature trying to show i care about. Change their shitty. Project in personal space and the reset game i guess just as the media was satisfied by this apology back then it seems that also taking at face value bidens denyer of the reid allegations now hes not face the scrutiny one would expect since the story broke in late march nor did reid receive the support one might expect when she tied to times up thats the Nonprofit Organization sets up to help survivors tell their stories not one time to talk about the payments that were made that youre Voting Campaign when a charity said weve met as a firm and we have decided there is no legal strategy safe least tell your story because his job right it may be whats matching up bidens Campaign Advisor many to don is managing director of the organizations legal front one of these things a largely god on the question no one has wasted time and doing a deep dive into tar rees history and they had a goal to finding an article now presented as evidence that shes a russian agent and so apparently by extension a liar. Love fest folks Xander Tara Reid is the same. Person who just made an accusation against joe biden if so these games are this woman is a traitor and russia will do whatever it takes to keep trump in office they put him there in the 1st place unsurprisingly the right wing media for its own reasons has compared the less intelligent approach to biden to its character assassination of Brett Cavanagh theyve drawn attention to how documents prove tara reid what as a staffer and by to the emergence of this latest larry king call it seemingly could drop rates that she did in fact tell people about the incident back in 1903 not just how much of it but a brother and friend to have both since confirmed they knew christie place before it was unable to present and such evidence against cavanagh and yet no time was wasted in throwing out the innocent until Proven Guilty motto and guess who else was apparently willing to throw out their unshakable values and is not on the found out of the need to move who by the way is still indorsing biden for president if you dont feel comfortable throwing away a man that ive known for 15 years in this time of complete chaos without there being. A thorough investigation i stand in solidarity with christine lazy for it so the rule seemingly astounds with every woman unless thats threatening the chances of the only horse in the race who can unseat trump and who you all betting on legal and media analysts lionel told us the lack of consistency is stunning. I know firsthand that the the media have shown an almost superhuman interest in everything that President Trump has ever done in any event in any venue and every aspect or corner of his life they leave nothing unturned nothing is too far nothing is too extreme right so so thats the standard. Yet when you said could we please apply that level of scrutiny to joe biden. Could we look at his life the same way you you would look at the president no. Could we apply roughly the same standard know why because President Trump and the republicans are one standard joe bidens over here and the Media Support joe biden that simple the American Public the most care is no other voice so if theres no other voice to love can say whatever they want they can say what ever they want they can show a dissimilarity of treatment they can completely ignore her all together which they have as cove in 1000 continues to wreak havoc protests are taking different forms from demonstrations in israel to ease lockdown restrictions to a planned sick out for amazon employees or the retail giants handling of the crisis details on those stories and more after this break. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. The day or thinks. Week here to ask. Welcome back Russian National maria bush and the who spent 15 months in u. S. To tension on conspiracy charges has sent a petition to the Un Human Rights Council shes asking for russian prisoners abroad to be moved from incarceration to house arrest as many may not survive the corona Virus Outbreak and foreign jails. I know if a male experience were present its as close personal contact consciousness for the virus concerted efforts to the main player in the fortys to resort to work toward the teams to do a show to. Know several of my compatriots russian citizens buying prisons and jails in europe its things i would not speak with them their relatives say everything sounds more and more easily receiving missions or question birds thats in jordan. Where most of it is so that you border on just a little border and you need to explain each gives a body or any. Other solutions are actually a girl of yours and to diminish that when you or your chances which you have been pretty sure this was only 2 years old might being a quick fix. That only im a wolf in nice enough but there are many kids lovely my wealth in the way of money kids didnt see this enough to know but notion my worth in them that i did get a sure thing if there were some some that here i ask you do your news the list of the tick of this is a verb. The chilling manatee in this difficult time and to petition to the 4th raised by the countrys russian citizens. To change their content to temporary noncustodial detention but are sure what that might lead to dates and names of people that hes already seen wouldnt police then help to those people you see. Hundreds of amazon workers are staging a mass sickout refusing to work in protest against the tech giants handling of the Coronavirus Crisis it comes after organizers of a plan online event to discuss experiences was canceled and they were abruptly fired the warehouse workers and the track worse there is such a divide the 2. Groups are completely siloed and apparently extremely intentionally so and the minute that a member of our group sent out an entity ation to that conversation and only cunningham and i were fired just like that. And the invitation which was out for about 2 hours on a friday afternoon and had all of. 1500 excess and that meeting was deleted and polls are never in his calendar so censorship silencing and firings. Amazon has fired 6 workers in recent weeks who had called for Better Safety conditions in the pandemic a spokesperson for the company said they were fired for repeatedly violating internal policies but did not specify which ones. We support every employees right to criticize their employers working conditions but that does not come with blanket immunity against any and all internal policies. And its not the only scandal over amazons treatment of workers who are trying to organize amazon own grocery chain whole foods is allegedly tracking employees they suspect are trying to unionize the company is believed to be using heat mapping to track their efforts human and labor rights lawyer dan kadlec told us its not surprising if the workers are trying to improve their conditions for these workers that are still at their jobs during a nationwide lockout there are literally taking their lives into their own hands to do these jobs theyre even being called essential workers and yet theyre not being paid as if they were essential what this pandemic is showing are the incredible inequities in the u. S. Society the incredible injustices people are reacting to that in ways that are pretty spontaneous because they literally see the lives of themselves and their families stake we live in a very. Unfettered capitalist society where that type of conduct is not only common. You know it tends to be even approved of in the press and by political leaders even though its the legal. Hundreds of workers that grew slims biggest outdoor market have gone on strike demanding a quality and justice after they were left out of measure is easing lock down restrictions are just piles where has the details. Protest involved the store owners who wore masks clashing with police and it was over the countrys decision to ease and lock down restrictions by allowing certain businesses to open but it has not allowed these stores in the Outdoor Markets to be amongst those businesses and one of the signs at the entrance to the markets is ikea. And this is in reference to the fact that i could hear stores have been allowed to open this despite the fact that there are long fuse and huge crowds have been gathering in the Shopping Center as the citys mayor agrees with them i have worked hard to open the mahanta yahoo to market and im sure there is no reason other complexes are open and it is not i presented an organized reopening plan and offer the local authorities to make sure it complies with Health Ministry regulations the countrys Health Minister has resigned after weighing the decision for 2 days earlier he did face a lot of criticism for the way hes handled the pandemic but he did not list this criticism amongst the reasons for his resignation i decided not to return to the Health Ministry for a 4th time and prefer to lead a sweeping development for solving the housing crisis in israel in the housing ministry. Its well has approved a series of steps to ease the lockdown restrictions and amongst these it is allowing group is having a slight ease on the economy and any people who are not wearing a mask off find how it is that many israelis are still angry and frustrated that these measures are not enough to ease the situation. Russian paratroopers have broken World Records after successfully carrying out an air drop from a height of 10000 meters the unprecedented feat took place near friends just to land a russian archipelago in the arctic region where temperatures regularly prop plunged to minus 50 degrees celsius in winter the drop was said to be a test for new parachutes and Navigation Systems and extreme conditions.
