Jetting off. 6 pm here in moscow 8 2nd though in here at our World News Center for the next 30 minutes were going to stay with me to take you through todays latest developments but were starting with as has become customary lately the latest. To say wedding towards another milestone around the world the number of infections globally is now close to 4000000 in terms of fatalities more than 271000 people are known to have died many more are also recovering though from the illness of course that figure currently stands at over 1300000. 00. Russias Health Ministry says more than 1200 coronavirus patients are currently on ventilation nationwide the country currently ranks 5th in the world in terms of infections at over 187000 the daily rate has been rising rapidly Health Officials though say there are enough beds and there are enough ventilators because putting people on a ventilator is a last resort measure for doctors it means its become all but impossible for the patient to breathe unaided leaving many gravely ill in some countries up to 80 percent of patients needing ventilation do not survive here in russia that figure stands at 50 percent meaning one in every to lose their lives when someone does recover enough to come off until ation though it can be a really emotional time for the hospital staff done so much to help care to get to that point. On another supply chain sometimes we the doctors started to cry when they managed to get a piece you know flung into nation the emotions are impossible to convey sometimes you have tears on your of these masks we dont hide or tears and emotions i believe there is Nothing Better than this feeling. Coming off insulation treatment only part of a long journey to good Health Patients need rehabilitation of breathing for swallowing even walking in some cases one survivor told us about his recovery and what its like to have a machine in control of his breathing. I was put on a ventilator in the 3rd hospital in a row i was admitted to being in intensive care already after a prolonged fever the doctors found out that my lung capacity was not enough to continue effective treatment waking up on a ventilator was a very unusual feeling as if i had been underwater i had a lot of tubes sticking out of my mouth the machine was breathing for me i communicated with the medics by gestures and hand written messages on a sheet of paper it was rather in. Convenient for me given that i had lost a lot of energy and even writing down simple sentences was at 1st very hard and unfamiliar but as time passed i got used to it the doctor started to understand me i gradually got used to the tubes the machine and the need to lie on my stomach almost all the time to help the ventilator work with my lungs while on the ventilator i often imagine myself being the hero of black sabbaths iron man song that character has turned into an iron idol due to time travel and he couldnt talk to anyone and warn of a coming disaster that he had to survive in the future when i was taken off the ventilator after coughing and spitting some i cited a line from that song then gents from the grave but since no one understood me i just asked them to bring me breakfast everybody was glad to hear that i was feeling better right after they took me off i had a few seconds to catch my breath and start breathing independently it seemed to me as if it had been an eternity i felt a massive surge of energy and i was glad i managed to overcome it from that moment i realized i could be happy about Little Things like the ability to breathe by myself every morning the recovery was rather hard for me but step by step i overcame the difficulties day by day but i started to win back my normal life and im still doing it because the treatment isnt over yet i dont want anyone to experience what ive gone through all these months i spent in hospital on a ventilator were no joke i hope that nobody watching this will end up that way and that they behave responsibly. While europes leaders struggle to forge a joint response to the pandemic the German Foreign minister is highlighting another unresolved crisis hes angry at the sluggish pace of the policy which he describes as inadequate. This horrible thing is that we have been dealing with this problem in europe for a long time i think its the greatest sign of inefficiency for the e. U. Now with the corona crisis its even more obvious meanwhile anti migrant protesters caused havoc in northern greece on wednesday bundle izing 2 hotels after discovering they reportedly host over 50 migrants each police later confirmed that indeed around a 150. 00 people also attempted to prevent buses transporting the migrants from reaching the new accommodation is what some of the locals told us. They saw the up and the incidents that happened are condemned by our whole community and we believe that this wasnt done by. Us as it is the enemy right now there are already 100 migrants in the space of 2 kilometers i believe that people here can take in more migrants there are people who dont have work and they wander the streets in my opinion theyre not as dangerous as they are correct or right but theyre people that have no connection to projects or. Greece is currently trying to take the pressure off its overcrowded island refugee camps driven partly by the need to prevent corona virus from spreading the authorities have been transferring hundreds of refugees then to facilities on the mainland greek political analyst petrus goody oh told us its triggering friction among the locals. And they now believe there are so far right. Or. The situation. d there a look at this israel these are. The people who are most are just think these are going towards it but this is where the sentiment is against. Migrants being transferred to the local servers theyre the people who are out of goodwill the programs they. Have are accumulating none of them is being so its a growing harvest is making it even about the stimulus to market starts for people to accept. The Trump Administration has rebuffed detailed recommendations on reopening america issued by the countrys top Disease Control body it was supposed to be published last friday but the agency was allegedly told the gardens would never see the light of day partly because it was too prescriptive the rush to get the country moving again comes in spite of the growing numbers of infections and deaths new yorks had to open another temporary morgue refrigerated trailers were seen arriving at one facility where bodies are being stored to date the u. S. Has registered mobile point 2000000 infections and 75000 deaths a 3rd of those in new york state locals there talk to us through a gruesome new reality. Makes me just aware of the. Stream nature of time that were living in the fact that you have to temper in this. Process bodies. Pretty pretty awful i try not to think of. Well the ramifications of opening up the country but when i see Something Like this it reminds me that if we had the proper leadership we would do things in a more organized manner safer manner so what it reminds me of is the fact that were not doing anything in an organized way. Because of that. The race to find a vaccine is something of a game of cat and mouse right now mysterious symptoms have been found in children who tested positive for the corona virus leaving doctors scrambling for answers as to the cause covering the americas Trinity Chavez next. Today an urgent new warning about kids and kovan 19 dozens of children falling ill across the country from a rare illness officials are calling pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome new York State Department of health confirming at least 64 suspected cases in the state most of the children testing positive for corona virus or virus in 2 bodies sparking new concern the 2 illnesses may be linked that uncertainty that comes with it a disease that still is not fully understood by the Global Medical community. Theres ease that we all wonder about in terms of our own personal lives the rare but serious injury which inflammation affects the heart and other organs can send the body into a state of shock common symptoms include fever rash abdominal pain vomiting and red or irritated eyes the illness leaving so many questions unanswered parents Pay Attention so when they see the symptoms reach out to their doctors early because the most important thing in this situation here again is not only diagnosing it early i mean the appropriate treatment early this as new york officials reported an unexpected spike of nearly a 1000 deaths on wednesday following a change of reporting meantime many new york leaders under fire as researchers claim their delayed response to code in 1000 helped spread the deadly virus throughout the u. S. The lesson we have to take from this as not only new yorkers but as americans our nation wasnt in position in terms of testing and we can never let that happen again the findings which are drawn from geneticists tracking signature mutations of the virus travel histories of infected people and models by Infectious Disease experts suggest the virus quickly swept from new york city through much of the country before the city began putting social distancing measures in place new york city quickly becoming the epicenter of the outbreak accounting for roughly 30 percent of infections in the whole country makeshift morgues and freezer trucks filling the city streets new Yorks Brooklyn pier which usually hosts live music shows a Ferry Terminal and shipping warehouses is now hosting a fleet of refrigerator more trucks filled with thousands of dead from the corona virus pandemic reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r. T. Confronting the common enemy of coronaviruses done nothing to dampen u. S. Leaders on a multitude towards china with ongoing terror threats and plans to punish the economy if anything the brakes making it worse is kellam open explains next. The pandemic is changing lots of things but it seems that some things like the ongoing us china confrontation are eternal you may have noticed the trump tweeted in praise of beijing from time to time and was looking to make deals but now it seems the trade war is escalating to higher levels than ever coronaviruses the fuel thrown onto the fire washington is using china as their primary scapegoat to sway the worst attack weve ever had this is worse than pearl harbor this is worse than the World Trade Center as evidence that like this and it should have never happened could have been stopped at the source could have been stopped and showed it should have been stopped right at the source. And it wasnt china has responded urging washington to focus on the real danger of choice in lengthy 18 can be they might say the pandemic is comparable to pearl harbor or 911. 00 but the enemy facing us is the Novel Coronavirus we urged us to stop shipping lanes to china and in turn to fact we now hear top u. S. Officials blaming china for spreading dissin from asian about the virus which they claim has chinese origin then china responds and blames the United States are not participating in global efforts and furthermore lying in the hopes of discrediting China European Union tries not to take sides but its see thing about the constant back and forth i do nothing it is the time for blame games or meet her approach this is the breath rate where someone hearing in the United States calling the virus chinese or the one by iris i dont think it is the moment to reproach anybody but instead to join forces against a problem that is everyones if we dont solve it everywhere we wont solve it anywhere trump seems up for a confrontation with us china relations at a 50 year low trump seems to be amping up economic pressure and the trade war is also applying pressure on the social political and educational fronts theyre calling this the new bipolarity United States facing off against china the way it once did against the soviet union but the us leaders really understand what would be at stake in a new cold war the us economy is quite well tied in with their new arch nemesis each time the confrontation escalates the stock market suffers a full scale trade war threatens the asian markets and the european economies are already on the brink of recession however when donald trump threatened more tariffs on monday they plummeted china is set to recover pretty quickly according to most forecasters and donald trump seems ready to play hardball against them even if it threatens the entire glow. I guess the question is will the world forgive him for this and will the United States be the one thats isolated. Artsy new york let you know theres a fresh twist another trigger topic for us politics with russia gate remember that so much of the things to think about since but theres been a development the Justice Department dropped criminal charges against Donald Trumps former National Security adviser over lying to the f.

It is not so much what history factually happening its a lonesome narrative and we have to be very very careful in what should have been looking at the media what other media doing it says im soldier for almost collective brainwashing going on and im not i find it. Very alarming and alarming mistake of the west the demonization of russia you see it in the media its not its not so much with people when you look at.

Books to diminish the sacrifice of me by the people of the soviet union. Join me every 1st week on the alex simon sure and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you there. Again 1000 a half minutes past 6 in the evening in a moscow to now remember the time before the pandemic and there was one hand there was another threat supposedly threatening to undermine the United States that russia gate weve got an update for you the u. S. Justice to power. It has dropped criminal charges against Donald Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn he did method lying to the f. B. I. About his interactions with a russian diplomat during the president ial transition but now the Justice Department says there are no reasonable grounds for further prosecution the deal g. s not persuaded that the jury 24th 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe mr flynt statements were material even if untrue moreover we do not believe that the government can prove either the relevant false statements or their materiality beyond reasonable doubt Michael Flynn served as National Security advisor in 2017 he was questioned by the f. B. I. On his contacts with the then Russian Ambassador over the possible lifting of sanctions flip was fired amid accusations that he lied to agents about the conversation that eventually led to him pleading guilty to one count of misleading we have b. O. I. Donald trump says now he expects consequences for those who went after flip. He is a great gentleman he was targeted by the Obama Administration and he was targeted in order to trying to take down a president and what theyve done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid so now the charges are dropped it somewhat cast doubt on the initial accusation since flynn was one of the main catalyst for launching the whole russia gate process in the 1st place lets have a quick reminder of how the claims sent the us media into 5th gear. Michael flynn is a liar why did the f. B. I. Witness tampering now it is possibly treason but mike flynn is what people thought about when theyre thinking when hes talking people might have gone long as that do you know how many terms did Michael Flynn take his place Anthony Bourdain of treason i think this is a profound sort of developments and there is all these started to remember here that u. S. Government had secured the plea from general flynn it and the judge additionally let him withdraw as guilty plea and now we have just over the u. S. Attorney and i think 6 louis reviewing the oil and saying are there never was a basis to investigate a crime here i think it is going to prove to be the biggest scandal in American History and thats saying a lot far bigger than watergate this is a major scandal and were just beginning to see the contours of what we will learn a lot more in coming days and. Over a 1000000 people heading back to work in south africa as the country begins relaxing its coded 1000 restrictions statisticians adelia warn the president about the catastrophic consequences of prolonged closures now the latest estimate is that south africa stands to prevent it would be no exaggeration to say that each week of continuing look at them will in the long run result in more loss of life than the virus itself. So far south africas seen a rather low pandemic death rate compared with other countries its less than 200. 00 the overall numbers of cases amounts to more than 8000. 00 the easing of the lockdown in deciding what is and isnt acceptable as lead to these south african surface to protest earlier this week some Outdoor Activities like jumping and cycling are being allowed but surfings still prohibited much there are air. The oceans are safe play she notes on their kids are saying mentally and physically and to take that away from us it sucks if we could go surfing thered be less people working together and would spread their the load out i dont think going surfing will increase your risk any more than walking on the beach or walking on the right theyve been try as best they can to contain more coronavirus and population much harder than live under the poverty line so the issue at hand for them how can they actually feel vibe in the loop when we fight you based around market life and day to day buying or items that make it pretty hard for the average person to actually you know live their life and eat well theyre not the only stopping people from day to day excursions to get their food and the look down if continued might even lead to rest and violence and be people rebel against the actual government itself im a bit left it to some n. G. O. S and blown to bits and corporations to give driven travel rifle and nearly and you know small for the family this is not enough therefore they need to find a balance between containing 2 in a barrel and providing the actual. 2021 a year its been so far its a little bit written off isnt it for a lot of people our lives have been coronavirus even a much needed some a holiday is highly unlikely increasingly the french president told people they probably wont be able to travel abroad or even around europe hes been wondering if well ever be able to get away anytime soon. You know theres really nothing quite like a Summer Holiday colorful cocktails to her and good books to read and of course. It doesnt get much better than that except this year we may be staying put. We are going to limit Major International travel even during the Summer Holidays. Ok well thats not so bad europe has pretty much everything youd want from beaches and mountains the historical cities and of course there are plenty of countries to choose from so every hotel on what you mean were not going to be travelling much in europe either. We will stay among europeans depending on how the epidemic evolves we may have to introduce even more limits right so well as you know france is also a great destination at huge country with so much to explore. Sorry critic at the moment we cant go further than a 100 kilometers ok paris it is just. Festivals concerts and sporting events have all been canceled until at least the end of july while the opening dates for launch museums. Restaurants etc still on ice meaning there may be little else to do but to admire the citys gorgeous architecture and perhaps a picnic outside it by the river but of course at a socially responsible distance dont forget if you were thinking that that would be enough to make paris worth a visit you may hit another brick wall if youre travelling from outside the e. U. Open border areas thats the shingle all the u. K. And there are quarantine measures in place 14 days in fact meaning youd be spending your 2 week break alone and staring at 4 walls so for this summer with love from paris or wish you were here but dont come charlotte even ski arty paris strange times on my birthday make the best of it go through adobo day all together and keep smiling best we can thats the way things look in so far this from the old to my from moscow.
