Security of biblical proportions as the largest locusts warned in decades roughage their way through crops in east africa and southwest asia. A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with me nicky air and our top story this hour and over to france where the pandemic has put severe pressure on the countrys already Strained Health care system calls for an overhaul have now been met with a government promise to initiate talks with hospitals to come up with a plan for reform now comes on the back of heavy criticism of the governments failure to address the Health Crisis during the pandemic arties dubinsky reports from paris. This is a 2 month review thats been announced by the french Prime Minister will look through the whole of frances Health Care System a Health Care System that has Public Hospitals with debts of around. 1000000000 euros and for a long time this is a system that is being creaking we saw way before the pandemic way before Hospital Services were completely stretched that medical workers were already out on the streets protesting about issues around their working conditions and salaries some medics telling me that it just wasnt safe for patients to go to hospital so this was even before 900 to give you a sense of how much of a pressure there has been on hospitals in france now this new plan is being formulated what will it look at and how will it operate well its going to include 300. 00 stall from across the medical community so who will be advising the government on the issues that need to be addressed some of the big issues salaries and working hours now we know that the Prime Minister has said that stuff will see a significant boost in their wages and we know that he said that 35 working hour here working hour week will also be looked at and he said there will be a move towards in the future perhaps more online consult a sions we physicians now speaking as he launched up plan the Prime Minister of france Edward Felipe really stressed that pay rise stuff. They dont tolerate me but the the issue is not to be the constraints of must be removed must be looked at in the same way. One of the challenges is to show our gratitude to the carers to preserve their motivation and vacation this recognition is immense in our country and as the president said it will be reflected in the salaries on this point i see it without ambiguity the increase will be significant well the french Prime Minister also talked about investment in the systems talking about a 150000000. 00 euros in me on here and he said that some of that nice in public that all the hospitals would be taken back in parents now you also acknowledge that they had been votes criticism of the government not just during the covert 91 democrat how it instigated the Hospital Systems in the meeting up to that and as i mentioned we saw crew test off the protest by Health Care Workers over a lot of the issues that they saw with the herring that profession apart. To implement the cigar plan you need to have towards ability you see the small scale it took weeks for the mosques to riot but today we hear politicians claiming there was never any shortage this undermines the confidence that professionals in the field can have when negotiating with politicians really did i knew the medals nor holiday vouchers will satisfy us our demands to remain the same more nurses medics fire on their decks and laboratory stuff and the financial recognition that goes with it thats what they were looking for the government is giving money to everybody to vanno to airbus but for me the most important thing is not right no its not airbus because when people are sick theyre not going to try have a car theyre not going to travel far by plane while there is still a long road ahead. Those discussions take place but what we do know so far is that the french havent taken to kindly to the reforms that have been instituted by president macaroons government reforms that are addressed and reviewed as part of this 2 month negotiation now and look at the Health Care System is due to be implemented as part of the new Social Security law which will be presented to the parliament in the autumn. We talked to the wrong rubenstein who is a french magic he suspects the governments making empty promises. I think that improvements will happen but they wont be enough hospitals have been screaming about the problems for a year and a half and then we also got caught they will tell us yes excellent because that epidemic has passed we have raised yourself but frankly its hard to believe there were so many plans already we have huge dont we dont know how the situation will develop we dont know what situation we are in now what will actually happen to health care in our profession. One will for the people another for the elite thats the charge being thrown to the British Government as the Prime Ministers chief advisor refuses to step down or the apparently violating strict lock down rules the incident happened in march during the height of the u. K. s quarantine revelation has infuriated the British Public Dominic Cummings the man at the center of the storm remained unapologetic during a grilling from journalists in downing street rose garden. Do you regret what you did no i dont i dont regret. What i did and so as i said i think reasonable people may well disagree your own scientists are worried they said this last night by introducing an element of personal discretion on day 15. But that apart from the. Night of his life nothing. He said in terms of just trips to break the rules is that people are not going to funerals people not even going to hospital when their kids have been happy to treatment why are you so different dont you think you are at the very least open an apology. I dont think of so i dont think im so different and i dont think theres one room for from the and will be for the people. Of that rose garden performance wasnt enough to abate the fury of some with covering for a junior minister for scotland has quit saying he cannot in good conscience faces constituents while the government backs the p. M. s adviser other officials are not just in the u. K. Also seem to think the rules dont apply to them artes Saskia Taylor explains. The hoops looks like no ones it and that my friends is the shoot version of our bar charts and see youre a Dominic Cummings found himself in the dock house when his wife was showing coach knight hundreds of times he thought what a part time for cheap you broke trip popping her in that childish with cars and driving 260 miles north to visit his out parrots knock down. Oh no just ring the bell was a hypocrisy yes a far friend also found friend i believe that in every respect he has acted responsibly and legally and with integrity. And with the overwhelming aim of stopping the spread of the virus and saving lives i mean i know the u. K. Government itself does not start its recent polls but i think most would see that the Prime Minister backing cummings on this slightly goes against its message the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households by staying at home we can protect already h. S. And save lives a message thats been blasted through the airwaves its trying to dont want to thats kept people imprisoned in that part of them separated from family and i mean people even to attend funerals of loved ones what was poachers think a suicide must have known he was setting himself and his psychic up to be battered from all sides from the quarantined public. Week operating. Cash. Thank you very much good god a degree where they feel that she played a tape of her the way they do usually mild mannered christians and listen very soon we see clear repentance including the sacking of cummings i no longer know how we can trust what ministers say sufficiently for church of england to Work Together with them on the bend demick. And to those who are working endless shifts on the front line this is me right now heading back into the covert i. C. U. Ive worked for the last 2 months this stuff is hard and hard work come see my parents is january frankly coming spits in the face of all our efforts the whole n. H. S. If he doesnt resign i will so incensed what people buy the story to even journalists in their hunt for the very latest comment well they just threw away their masts and and shed loves and grabbed those cameras because you know. Where you go talking about how to go over there overlooking the physics of the world but quite frankly why should they were must saw gloves to listen to public guides lights Dominic Cummings starts it dont it companies has shown us that we can do anything we want but if you do youll get chased by trends fine by police last this video that unfortunately there are a whole lot of dominics just in very positions of power thats the face of thought in spite of coronavirus you just have to get away to a 2nd home twice and the mobster my life behind the knocked on thought to how 7 the rules i invented i need to see my lover and outrageous hubris isnt just a u. K. Specialty the austrian president broke locked out of walls to pull saying i got lost in conversation. I went out for the 1st time since the war done with 2 friends and my wife with the last strike of the time while chatting i am truly sorry it was a mistake and states like Virginia Governor got a very great on his own homework assignment when he was caught bad start a beach having said that and so your homework this weekend is to make plans for you and your other family members to have facial protection so apparently no more suffocating in masks or sweating in gloves looking longingly through the window or having your family virtually because it seems its a free for all kids you no longer have to practice what you preach. Forms of Desert Locusts have been ravaging crops in the middle East Eastern Africa and also in pakistan and india the worst outbreak in 27 years the crop destroying infect 30 for green areas to satiate their enormous upper size although locusts dont pose a direct danger to humans that the Un Food Agency says the swarms create a major threat to Food Security in the affected regions. If the weather continues to be favorable for the locals you know good rainfall basically those locust numbers yes they will continue to increase and you have to think about of course in east africa its already a very vulnerable area you know that they had 3 years of drugs they had it a year rainfall so you know locusts and then coronavirus in addition you know to already this kind of fragile area it makes it very very challenging and that this is an unprecedented threat you know to Food Security and livelihoods and thats exactly what it is you know the people are just you know below the level of famine to stop the famine the horses well you know were not in that situation but you know this is something we want to prevent we dont want to you know have the famine so that that is why you know all of these efforts you peals by oh by the feel for Financial Assistance from the International Community it is so important for millions of local attack crop fields they can destroy everything within hours the insects the originating dry runs where the climate forces them to gambling more power to the greenland what is starts raining they stop breathing abundantly the threat of Food Insecurity has led some to call for a joint response. This year in addition to the covert pandemic the new challenges facing the people of the south asia and southwest asia region thats of Desert Locusts india has adjusted to pakistan the both countries coordinate locals control operate ins along the border and that india can facilitate supply of the post to sign mollifying on to pakistan also an act is done this year there is breeding in the indus valley which is very unusual and in the punjab plains up near the capital islamabad and normally breeding doesnt happen in these areas but this year it did because last summer there was such a large breeding on both sides in India Pakistan border some of it was quite late and so the locusts it was too cold for them to move to to the coastal plains of iran so that they only made it to the indus valley and that thats why they stayed there so all of this means that more locusts will be coming into the desert areas along both sides of the India Pakistan border on theyve already started in fact im indias already received some swarms earlier this month and this will continue for this month or next month and probably into july as well so its like a successive waves of swarms coming is not just for one night or one week but is its going to be over a number of weeks and months a month those top stories coming up after this short break. You cannot be both with the yes you like. The one else chose seemed wrong. But old rules just dont hold. The world to get to shape out just because the educated and indeed trained equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Welcome back at least a dozen inmates have been infected inside an overcrowded prison in the argentinean capital the situation wasnt off the point as the iris revoked a measure allowing a temporary house arrest transfer because a number of violent criminals were released but various organizations have been pleading for the measure to be reinstated as the Current Conditions in the jail could prove ideal for corona virus to wreak havoc this is a video sent by one of the prisoners in the via devoted prison where there is reportedly no medical care and social distancing is impossible and 100 were far is one of the many who asked to be transferred hes serving up his final few months of his sentence and describes the cells as death traps. So people are afraid they can die because of this pandemic there is no medical help in prison and there never has been everyone is nervous including me a lot of time has passed my wife my 7 year old daughter and my 25 year old son are waiting for me at home i missed them very much i have lost my necro nuke lung disease thats because i smoke so the risk increases for me if i get killed i wanted the last 24 hours phase of the virus spreading i have seen inmates in riots across across latin america including in that prison we saw earlier at least 160. 00 people are known to have died from covert 19 in south american detention facilities 3 quarters of those deaths were registered in peru but with some violent criminals having been released earlier the public has also been responding with protests in argentina as crime is a major concern there one mother whose child was killed in a robbery told us the measure was wholly inappropriate. Element there is its just not clear were all feeling bad no i believe the government shouldnt go that way but demonstrate some justice to the victims who have gone through such who are just because now we have to check for you if those who murdered raped and kidnapped all children should do prison term as it should be.

I think theres a lot of focus right now on on our own beauty biggest were all participating in these in these suman and Virtual Meetings where where instead of just talking to someone were actually seeing yourself in the upper right or lower right hand corner so i think thats their ass i think putting a mask on your face in some ways draws more attention to your face than and otherwise so i think people are thinking about it a lot so yeah and sure i dont think its uncommon i have colleagues who are just colleagues request colleagues who are who are hairstylists all of whom i think have been offered offered higher perks to to get their services during this time. The consequences could range from a financial penalty so having to pay a fine to potentially something to do with license or where you can jeopardize your medical license but also ultimately you want to do things when when the when you feel safe to do so 1st im a doctor and and ultimately Patient Safety comes 1st so certainly at the beginning of this made i had stopped my elective surgery before the government mandated that we stop our surgery.
