It was. Hundreds of americans protest against the law violating the basic rights of others facebook adds fuel to the fire by removing one of the biggest communities in line with government policy. Elsewhere the u. S. Press calls for no one to trust the House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff ever again. He lied about the russia collusion investigation. Thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. We will begin with our daily check on the latest global coronavirus figures now total infections just above 4600000. 00. Approaching 300000 while the number of those who have recovered is above 1700000. Ok lets take a look 1st at the u. S. Health care system which has been inundated year in the pandemic not just with patients also criticism of the way that it has struggled with the crisis and now the former head of a key lab thats working on a vaccine has warned congress if the government doesnt make rapid changes things will only get worse our window of opportunity is closing if we fail to improve our response now based on science i fear the pandemic will get worse and be prolonged there will be likely a resurgence of code 19 this fall and we greatly compound it by the challenges of seasonal influenza without better planning 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history. Donald trump says that the countrys done a great job in the battle with the corona virus and claims its only the media that says otherwise we spoke with pediatrician and Health Care ActivistMargaret Flowers who says that the pandemic has put the spotlight on the many failings of the current system. 3 major drawbacks that it has exposed is that we dont have a universal Health Care System in the United States and that millions of people have no Health Insurance at all it also has exposed that we dont have a centralized Health Care System if our system is very piecemeal and bureaucratic and disorganized and because of that theres been no real leadership coming from a centralized institution telling people how to behave telling Health Professionals what to do making sure that we can get resources to people who need them particularly our Health Care Providers and the 3rd thing is that our Health Care System is really based on profit and not based on the health of people and so instead of doing commonsense things that would have enabled us to get tests out to people to get supplies to people were seeing this whole. Scurrying of various corporations trying to see how they can profit from this situation. U. S. Nursing homes have been hit particularly hard by the crisis we spoke weve done hes lost relatives to the virus including his father who was in a new york no sicko. One week. 5 deaths for them my uncle 3 cousins 4 of them. 3 of them god it is Nursing Homes so. Im sure the fact that they didnt have enough people. People infected with the bulk of them with the patients being forced upon them with the virus they had no idea where they had to go its something that should have been known. Cared for by like federal especially the states its all regulated by the state and local got the big talk about having a pandemic plan early march the elected officials. How could you not have a plan for our most vulnerable those that we have to honor those who are parents. The situation with Nursing Homes has come into sharp focus now after it turned out that many had not been reporting the number of deaths that is claimed war than 30000 d fatalities from americas entire virus death toll happened in homes and long stay care facilities relatives who complained of a lack of testing in a number of cases of no one informing them even their loved ones had coded 19 before they died we talked to American Healthcare representatives about how they see the situation. The government could have a 1000000 rated the extent to which so reduce the extent to which residents were affected i think you know unfortunately the federal government kind of ignored some of the signs of what was going on and was very very slow to react and just generally and even more so in respect to nursing or what were hearing from families sometimes is that families dont even know that their loved one had to cope with once he until the resident has died so the person they were taken to the hospital and its too early were hearing too often of residents and family members finding out that their resident had a roommate and that person was coping 1000 and they were separated in time and then their loved one also became cope in 1000. You know were hearing about people not getting access the hospital because there were some you know because of their age because had its ability fortunately not seen as being worth treating we have about 1300000 people in nursing home in the United States and i would say about a 3rd of those are over the age of 85 so its a very large very vulnerable population people dont realize that a lot of people die in nursing home but if you just look at new york city if you say theres about 30000 who die i think after they do a good job of counting that guided nursing home it will be 60 also nationwide theres about 80000 who die that number will double and i think it will be about 200000 people in the United States right now only 30 states are reporting but thats still 20 states that are been unwilling to count the people who are dying and nursing all. And add those numbers to their lists and i think some of that is political right the Nursing Homes are scared because when the word gets out about how frequent this is there are scared about what that does to their image the governors are scared because it makes them want but finally everybody is coming around to realize that we have to know the right numbers so that we can deal with this correctly. Republicans controlling the Michigan Legislature claim the states governor Gretchen Whitman trampled their all thora tea with stay home orders and other restrictions that as hundreds of armed protesters have defied the governors policies outside the State Capitol they called her a witch a nazi and the virus itself. Yes the. Protests in michigans capital lansing have been going on for 6 weeks already on friday the local Prosecutors Office said that the man was charged with making credible Death Threats against governor whitman michigans not the only state where people are challenging lockdown policies in minnesota protesters there are rejecting the governors measures claiming that theyve caused the state to suffer even more harm and suicide rates due to the Economic Impact of the shutdown we spoke with locals from both those states. To realize their freedoms are being taken away. In the present right now there wont be any freedom to stay. Home any businesses in this country even. Shut down for 3 months and not many i know. Theres no strategy right now the whole thing is just a stalling game the only strategy so far is stay home. Thats not a strategy for. Give us radians i have no idea said on the 1st weekly or any last week or it indeed is something he just i i dont im not enjoying if i dont know why now anyway and so i better let me resections the floor and i do it in any way and yet hes still there and open up the churches which are their 1st amendment rights. The governor was picking winners and losers because he opened a candy store allowed 250 children and theyre very wrong very scouts put out why exactly cemetery of our veterans are passed away i. Earlier in an unprecedented move facebook removed 8390000 down community of michiganders as they did in violation of the stay state order to stay at home however in the state of wisconsin its Supreme Court that outlawed the lockdown so its still unclear how the social network will react given the differences between different states where facebook stated that events opposing the u. S. Governments social distancing policies will be banned from the site is an issue we put up for debate. As a private Company Facebook can do whatever to ones even if its a morally wrong idea and the situation like that the fact that facebook is shutting down political debate is taking it one step too far time and time again that the arab spring was organized on base so the base book allows massive revolts in foreign muslim countries but not in america where theyre based where they get massive tax credits where they were handed in with the government where they get a free pass on everything these companies are its not its so simple as a private company like you want to kick someone out of your bar i mean they get way more complicated than this and so theyll look at a group like the ones that are being shut down and say these people are dangerous theyre going to upset the stability of whats happening when really is often just people who love this country love this constitution and really dont trust the government and the government doesnt give as many reasons to to trust that you have the right to choose to work rather than to choose to follow an idiotic government directive the solution is for people to voluntarily say look the government has failed to handle this at every level they have created a medical shortage where we never needed to have one they dont know what theyre doing theyve lied to us theyve changed their story many many times so we need to do this on their own and many people will voluntarily as has happened in the states that have reopened well voluntarily stay at home we slowly reopen if we protect the people who are most vulnerable you know for sure and have some work cases youre not i dont think youre going im going to help expert but it doesnt seem like youre going to see a massive spike you can always look at countries like sweden that never shutdown so its come to a point where youve got suicide youve got Mental Health issues youve got drug overdoses that are skyrocketing i think were seeing real problems with with what the directives have done to shut down this country weve gotten occur thats what we were promised now its time to. Author and Socio Economic rights advocate and resurfacing argues people should think like a collective and consider others. Be our collective who creates the gov and right now for the safety. Of people collectively its necessary that we kind of shelter in place youre not allowed to put my eyes my family and myself as well because you just you want to just go out and take those type of chances with a virus thats known to kill its not ok to use facebook to go into a group and say hey we need to hang the governor but thats exactly what was happening the page was shut down because it raises immunity guidelines facebook which john allowed or in inciting by words towards other people were the people who were protesting came with our weapons a k 47 s and military style weapons to stand in front of the Michigan House of representatives and protest why do you need a gun for who are you shooting call the 19 is a virus what are you absolutely brilliant gun to a protest over by a stay at home arms or what are you trying to accomplish who are you threatening. Now if you think the coronavirus pandemic has put politics on pause think again a case in point is with the us where the leading figure in the socalled russia collusion saga adam schiff has been accused of being economical with the truth the charge surprisingly comes from the wall street journal which traditionally doesnt have too much sympathy for team trump as good taylor explains. Once upon a time in an island called washington looked a man named adam schiff from his tower on the hill he spent years trying to say dryden dont trump but then one day himself and it up saying i am one step hold the truth to release correctional testimony shows that adam schiff spread full food shamelessly about russia and double trouble for 3 years even to his own committee gathered cold 3 evidence he misled because he repeatedly on an issue that consumed american politics no one should ever believe another word he says as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee she fled to russia trumped collusion private back in 2017 in the 14 months 50 plus witnesses 6000 pages of testimony the contents of which has now come to light and guess what no conspiracy and our attention just lost these freshly released transcripts reveal that top intelligence officials who paid for question who tore holes in shit savage head of the conniving kremlin tromp for example remember when george got the job as the jail we have some breaking news out of washington former Trump Campaign aide George Papadopoulos has been sentenced to 14 days in jail well apparently even back then the f. B. I. Director was a 100 percent convinced. His comments didnt particularly indicate that he was the person that had had it was interacting with the russians also who could forget the islamist steel dossier used 5 russia gate as far and wide as secret proof madeleine when you look at just what has become public some of the Public Information is very much in line with what is reported in that dossier and of. Well as i tried to explain before theres a lot of information in the steel reporting weve not been able to prove the accuracy of all the information in fact the message. From the transcripts is overwhelmingly obvious i never saw any direct and perfectly evidence that the trump complainer or someone in it was plotting or conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election i dont recall intelligence that they would consider evidence to that effect that i saw prior of conspiracy prior to my departure obvious to everyone apparently exact who continued to hop from t. V. Channel to t. V. Channel weaving tales he already knew what true we do know this the russians offered help the campaign accepted help the russians gave help and the president made for use of that help the bottom line is did the russians intervene in our election and the answer is yes i did they make outreach the Trump Campaign and the answer is yes and its not just that she actively misled the public is that he even tried to hide the evidence most of the transcripts were ready for release long ago but missed the shift of the refused to release them off he became chairman in 2019 he only released them last week when the intel threatened to do it 1st i mean he did make good use of that time he had the transcripts even managed to squeeze it in impeachment a tad waits just like his previous loser crowd call was a bust let alone to that heard the president feels vindicated so was trump kicks back in the oval office hes probably pondering the irony of ships words the truth will come out the truth. Will come out. I think its just an absolute or a political earthquake theres no other way to put it over 3 years we see top officials including Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff are the head of the n. S. A. At the time the. Head of the cia all of them knew that there was no rush of collusion yet played along as if there was that it was best to geisha and they gave or tasia and they say appeared. You know all too willing media claimed he went on television and claimed that the russians offered to help drums trump knew the russians were offering to help he accepted the russians offer of the russians but it wouldnt office he said all of those things when he knew for a fact based on all of the interviews that he did with the people that were there and involved you knew of that it was absolutely untrue he continued to say it anyway and essentially the attempt was to overthrow would do we elected president the United States whether we like him or out of the material this was a coup or ted and now we know what we suspected all along that it was all made up and they knew it was. Starts free Antibody Testing for the coronavirus as a most lifting restrictions in the city this comes as much of the global media is simply not buying russias official statistics show a relatively low death toll from the virus will bring the full story up to the shoulder right. It. Seems. Just. To get to shape. Just to educate. And. Equal the trail. Lets find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Here. Is the Ticker Symbol for. The hair. That we feature here on this. Trading at a market cap of about 3900000000. 00 but were expecting. The market to take this up to a much higher capitalization possibly 7 or 9 trillion. Moscow is started free Antibody Testing for the corona virus for all residents of the russian capital the results are expected to help the government decide whether to ease the existing restrictions or to extend the number of new cases reported in russia so they start at 9206 of the lowest for several weeks though experts say its too early to say the situation is improving well and 63000 people have recovered in total but 2537. 00 have died as more on the Antibody Testing and the Current Situation in russia with covert 90. So what the russian capital seems to be trying to do right now is that it is trying to figure out how many people have been under own carriers of covert 19 and how many of those might have immunity to this new coronavirus disease and so far more than 2000 people have already sees this opportunity to find this out now when it comes to russia as a whole while it is up there when it comes to the total number of those infected well it has shown some very very little mortality rate compared to the total figures and that has come into focus with some Mainstream Media outlets for instance the Financial Times has claimed that russia has some 70 percent more deaths than it is reporting officially the New York Times and turner speculated that well there are more than 1700. 00 of extra deaths in moscow alone but bloomberg well it has gone further than all of them because it has released an article titled experts demand to know why the coronavirus hasnt killed more russians and this wording well it hasnt been perceived well here because a lot of people have seen and this almost a direct demand of more deaths here in russia and so much so that bloomberg even had to rework the initial outline but brushes them back to london has commented on this. Judging by your reports russias response has been to manipulate with figures at home and to spread this information abroad with the government acted in efficiently and doctors have an inadequate protection this distorted picture requires a refutation even by most pessimistic accounts rushes before months in terms of Health Care System capacity and death rate is among the best of all major countries your article carries inaccurate statements coupled with an unacceptable and unprofessional one sided narrative now this version has been corroborated by the World Health Organization who have said that russia has bought its Health Care System time by we acting early to this new pandemic and when it comes to 2 facts coming out of moscow the had dr of what is seen to be as russias benchmark hospital for treating over 1000 patients dennis percent co he has in turn to explain what allows them to save so many more lives than in other countries especially with early italian example has shown us the seriousness of the situation what percentage of cases in russia is here in the capital half of them so all that was happening in eataly allowed our system which took half of the patients to get ready our hospitals dont decide who needs a ventilator who can wait because we have enough of them here there isnt such a problem in moscow because we did manage to prepare but its always easier to ignore this pardon start claiming your statistics are fake. Well one of comes to all the fuss in the western media russias former ambassador to the u. K. Says that well they just hate to see when russia does Something Better than their countries the choice between the economy and human lives will leave its mark on peoples thinking worldwide for a long time the values of any society could not be questioned more acutely and it is no coincidence that this problem has caused such a rise in undisguised irritation in the western press and the publics opinion assessment of socalled western values will have a prat. Going to sentiment in terms of how many lives have been saved and the western elites will have to answer on this soon enough and foresee the pandemic has shown another dimension of the crisis in western societies for which moscow does not bear any responsibility in the past few days russia has been showing steady stable figures of new krona virus cases some have even very very cautiously pointed out saturdays decline in numbers while being very hopeful that this could continue but so far this new testing for antibodies is a new measure that russian government is taking to figure out what pace to open its economy and to bring life back to normality. Twitter said its employees a letter saying that they dont ever have to return to the office meaning that theyre free to continue working from home for as long as they wish they also said the companys buildings will not reopen until september and all events are postponed until at least 2021 now shifting to Remote Working is becoming a wider trend among employers but its not without its own problems has been our experience. When not downs are finally lifted life will spring back till more and we can all go back to work in our offices well not all as well because some companies have found their class prefer the work from home system was there is 20 or so if all employees are in a role and situation that labels them to work from home and they want to continue to do so forever we will make that happen letting them know it has become an attractive new working start the digital giants to facebook and google are already planning to get employee is the option to stay home this is work and its not just Silicon Valley social media heavyweights the business its like nationwide insurance doctors and j. P. Morgan chase are also playing with the idea of letting their workers ditch the suits and ties to work instead. Put in fact an incredible 74 percent of companies are said to be planning to permanently shit to more remote work post 90 we are an Insurance Company our focus is to manage risk weve planned for a crisis for years you cross out gas leak and insert curve it but we knew for a long time we needed to be able to lift people out of the office and continue serving old man burgers its a new corporate landscape theres also been endorsed by some politician has everyone who wants to and whos workplace allows it should be able to work in a home office even when the coronavirus pandemic is available so whats the big appeal of having more people work from home well one big bonus is its more Cost Effective according to Global Workplace analytics a typical employer can save about 11000. 00 a year for every person chooses to work remotely just 6 months of the year the environmental benefits are also very attractive less traffic on the road as demand for office space is sustainability at its finest im starting to show that people who do work from home are actually more successful and surprisingly more productive it all sounds too good to be true maybe it is clear things like a lack of structured working hours and absence so socialization with work colleagues have a detrimental effect on people could so. This be as a true great disadvantage if they dont have the cash to splash out on the latest computers and other gadgets and with office space no longer need it is how randall undoubtedly they think all those who work in iowa Office Workers from cleaners to local coffee shops also feeling the pinch but gardasil seems that working from home will be even the thing and people whose livelihoods rely on those who are out of the ballots have reason to be concerned just last week 3500 employees of town.
