Since the government announced the closure of many nonessential businesses including pogs hotels cinemas we have seen the biggest mass unemployment to heat a strangely our since the Great Depression in the 19th thirties and the government is estimating that about 1000000 astray lost their jobs or did not from these changes and another 1000000 could be out of work in the coming days and weeks ahead now this has led to tens of thousands of people flooding into Welfare Centers to try and work out how can they afford their rents and bills in the future how they can feed their family the Australian Government has announced an economic stimulus package which just provide extra money for those who will be out of work but i spoke to an economist just a short time ago and he was painting a very dire picture indeed he said that similar to the United States in the u.

K. Thousands of doctors are asking the government to increase supplies of protective gear warning that they felt like cannon fodder and thats a situation replicated across the u. S.

C. Thanks for talking to us so the United States is really having to confront this issue of a lack of basic medical equipment in order to aid its fight against the corona pandemic. Yes no doubt we haue a really big problem on our hands right now and one thing im not sure that many elicit its quite recognize id be remiss if i didnt mention to you 1st that this pandemic really puts her or me not only in addition to what you mentioned i am an order of back with. My hands then my mother and my brother my sister and brother in law and sister in law are all Health Care Workers all mcpartland right and so all right when they Say Something nice theyre seeing i believe the government should listen to them and so not hand me that sorry let me let me just let let me jump in i understand the pestle nature of this would do you think then theres lets see seems to be an increasing chorus of criticism coming from the various states and cities around the country against criticism of washington d. C. And of the trumpet ministration as to their failure to provide what is necessary. Well certainly of all those family members i mentioned the rain the family were all spread out for us in the midwest here in the virginia and the south and all of us are very well firstly very intimately familiar with the constraints of our u. S. Health care system in many ways we do have the most competitive innovative Healthcare System in the world and i think a great many of my fellow citizens would be very surprised to learn of these constraints that we do not have the capacity that people think we have given this respiratory illness yes it is a respiratory illness that is what we have to talk about the story on 2 leaders are so necessary. 3 times sorry rina many many people would disagree with you when you say when youre loading the virtues in the attributes of your Health System in your country because so many millions of people are not going to benefit because they dont have the the kind of medical insurance so that is actually required but lets get back to equipment and provision is bill de blasio right to say that donald trump is not providing what he should be providing to help new york cope with this. Well i was on capitol hill back in 2008 when the portable care act passed and so Health Insurance is almost secondary to whats happening right now people do believe that our Health Care System is so good that it can handle this regardless of people being insured or not insured i think what has it set into the american consciousness right now is the capacity the fact that french leaders are going to eat it and that were actually in our modern it sort of Health Care World and in our in our lifetimes were not at all agreed to the numbers because of the endemic in the past we havent had data to sort of in for what we need right now and i dont believe that the federal government has stepped in and be done its part by ethiopian the defense production act which is a korean war era act that allows the president to really say to private companies that they have to get behind what the virtues are and that is see the american lives right now american my friend vince each other because of the present government is not willing x. L. In places like new york where the mayor and the governor im pretty great steps to address that incredible spike needs he says in new york i think right now were in a moment such great uncertainty because hospitals as well as how care workers like my family members and its sounding the alarm going so far as to write a letter to the federal government just a couple last week saying if you do not invoke this 8 american minds are going to be lost and were already seeing that its really a familiar of the federal government at this point no matter how much state leadership we see rhenish ah thanks very much indeed for talking to us. There without his ear and its time for us to take a look at the top stories this hour the british Prime Minister has severely restricted the movement of citizens to slow the spread of the coronavirus people are being told to say there are a few exceptions you can go to work for exercise and to buy food police will have the power to enforce the new measures. The death toll in europe continues to grow in italy the number of dead has passed 6000 double that of china where the virus began in spain the death toll has risen to more than 2200. And the american president says hes working with the republicans and the democrats to ensure a trillion dollar stimulus bill is approved politicians on monday failed to pass the legislation for a 2nd time theyre under increasing pressure to prevent economic collapse.

S. Led peace plan with the taliban mr pompei also said the conditional withdrawal of u. S. Troops will go ahead despite the difficulties in implementing the agreement all right lets speak to Lawrence Korb now former u. S. Assistant secretary of defense hes joining us from washington d. C. Scott thanks very much for talking just and this is rather rare and rather stringent language coming from the secretary of state about the situation the political situation in afghanistan and furthermore taking the action of reducing a 1000000000. 00 from aid to the country do you think its going to work with them into some form of reconciliation. Well you hope to have a war because not only did he take about 1000000000. 00 of about 4. 00 which we give to afghanistan but he met with the taliban on the way home in doha and basically is trying to say you know we have an agreement with the taliban to leave us alone so we can get out of there you guys dont get your act together youre going to have to live with the consequences because were going regardless absolutely it does sound very much to say the United States is. Committed if you like to its own form a timetable in this illness so of the conditions on the ground because where only the 3 to intra afghan.
