World health organization. For me this is it just a few manatee already we are 4 up and down at the most important lesson for us is to rebuild the Health Care System. Hello good evening youre watching r. T. International worse just come 7 oclock in moscow ok lets start by giving you the latest on covert 19 because across the globe more than 600000 cases have been confirmed that is up 20 percent in the last 24 hours alone 137000 people have recovered in total but more than 28000. 00 people have died from the outbreak. Well the British Government is ramping up its efforts to contain the Coronavirus Police have been given new powers in the using drones to make sure the citizens stick to the rules and stay at home. And coming up now is a video message that has been posted by police and the county darbyshire it does a people there to avoid all nonessential movement and that includes walking the dog in the pay district or going for a long walk and instagram is a singled out so you theyre being told not to go out of their way to get a good selfie with governments around the world to come up with new ways of fighting the pandemic rough is that things could never get back to normal but against the of looks now at how the global lockdown could change our lives forever. This pandemic will and already it is changing us society i do mean the economy or social distancing i mean privacy freedoms these are now a danger to our health this isnt about judgment condemnation or endorsement this is a Global Health crisis many lives are at stake and desperate times call for Desperate Measures but look and see whats happening before our very own eyes troops and Armored Vehicles on the streets of western cities drools patrolling cities and ordering civilians to return to their homes. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah nationwide lockdowns police and troops detaining civilians for violating curfews a lot in the middle east or china but in europe and italy alone more than 100000. 00 people have been charged for violating the law down drones monitor citizens from above where they walk their dogs where they park where they congregate robots. Patrolled streets governments attending neighbors and friends and family to report each other if they find out someone violated quarantine we have created an online report in port au where people can submit a form to advise of and a gathering that are not in it here is with the guidance and easy to demand on one on one all of this was completely unimaginable a few months ago but its all about. Stopping the virus at whatever cost in the fight against this senator a crisis it is paramount that we anticipate the spread of the pandemic and its likely peak in each country in israel they started tracking peoples movements with their phones to catch those violating quarantine or to warn people who have been near someone who was infected in america in europe in russia theyre talking about doing the same thing mobile phones have been turned into tracking devices for our own good they say its hard to argue with that and personally for the duration of the crisis i dont mind my question isnt when this will end the total control my question is will it head and the European Data protection supervisor of stresses that such developments usually do not contain the possibility to step back when the emergencies go home how often the governments or police give up powers you dont need me to answer that you know full well yourself were all afraid were all confused and worried for our loved ones fear has gripped world our society because of that we have given up without complaint our freedoms to our governments for our own good im not here to judge im only stating the obvious with the hope that when this nightmare is over and that fear passes will get our freedoms back. More aggressive there will italy recorded more than 919 deaths in a single day on friday and that is its highest figure since the outbreak began hospitals are under great strain is admissions continue to saw an intensive care unit in the northern italian city bred here is now running 5 times capacity we heard from a doctor there he said that medics are having to improvise to save lives but the. Hospital is at the forefront of many aspects of treatment and intensive therapy we have suddenly found ourselves having to invent new treatments and use new machinery that we would have never used in a normal condition about 2 thirds of the patients spend a long period in intensive care. The number of beds has to be consciously increased because there are always more people coming in than being d destroyed i spend 13 to 14 hours a day here at the hospital my colleagues have tripled their duties and are working night shifts to cope with the influx of patients. Meanwhile self isolation has become the new norm for millions of people who are now working from home however the most Blue Collar Workers thats simply not an option and that includes Delivery Services unions in europe and i raising concerns about their safety. Reports. Just a few weeks ago they were deemed unskilled workers im talking about the people who stack supermarket shelves or deliver our groceries books clothes and gadgets now as coded 900 forces us to hunker down in our homes they have become alongside Health Professionals some of the most essential workers of our time without those people we wouldnt be able to run as a nation we wouldnt have an economy and people wont be able to cook food on the table we just various clutches tissue. Rolls of toilet rolls weve always done. In getting these products out. Just like doctors and nurses who are fighting a war against this virus delivery drivers are also putting themselves on the front line and potentially at risk of be lying if i wasnt if i was saying that it wasnt. Especially with Everything Else in the media well weve obviously implemented a lot of protective measures and social distancing to make sure that theyre not as much with us and that we so many minds as these new key workers are ensuring essential and non essential deliveries many of those who once considered important stock at home either an able to be economically active or at best working remotely the french and British Governments are amongst those that have offered to cover a significant proportion of the wages for people who cant be in their place of work during the lockdown unions warned that this led to a feeling of inequality. There is an impression of an equality between blue and white Collar Workers. Truck drivers delivery and postal workers those in trade and management many employees are in the front line mostly women and the working class and like the executives who shuddered when they didnt leave for their holy homes this is causing more and more anger theres also concern that remote work is only possible if youre a socalled white Collar Worker so if you tend ball work as a salesperson in a closed shop its pretty impossible right now to continue that type of employment now these roles are often based on short term always 0 hours contracts meaning employers dont have to keep the morning when they need to tighten their belts the Current Crisis is perhaps only highlighting this divine right and if in the coming months old world starts to return to some semblance of what we need to lets not forget that in our time of need it was the low pay the manual workers that we were low and on and without the heroes delivering all good so keeping our supermarket shelves stocked we would have been lost. For r. T. In paris we got reaction to this story from the political commentator. And also the market analyst craig. Greely is attest to to our enemies and through our way were seeing how this in the next few months this is obviously an artist in the situation room and we are facing like this for a long long time its the whole chain of business which is really really vulnerable to these kinds of shocks and the longer they become i dont find ive gotten better at it because the fundamental way youre working means to go on same way and hopefully governments can come together to support their better citizens for the next few months years and right now through this pandemic what were seeing is one of the benefits of being a white Collar Worker is that in many cases and not all cases but in many cases the ability to work from home is much easier than maybe even offices previously envisaged we have now that weve been forced into the situation what were learning the more i think what it continues to learn over the coming weeks is one shot the infrastructure in place at home and now many people will have the infrastructure in place its actually much more simple than what we previously envisaged. Now here in russia a 5th coronavirus patient has died and there are more than 1200 confirmed cases but despite the rising numbers there is some potential light at the end of the tunnel because the World Health Organization has agreed with the russian governments estimate that the outbreak could actually start to subside as early as may when while russian Officials Say that they do think that anti malaria drugs could potentially help the treatment of cope with 19 although more research is needed well thats help maintain to help contain the spread of the virus in russia starting from today restaurants cafes and shops are closing their doors only supermarkets and pharmacies remain open although deliveries of food and other items are still permitted there are no restrictions on people going outside although public parks have been shut president putin earlier and i am still weeklong paid holiday for nonessential workers starting from monday. Construction of new Health Facilities are also under way including this one in each. City in the west of the country officials do say will be ready in less than a month to cope with a possible influx of coronavirus patients 15 similar hospitals are being built across the nation the government has already allocated equipment and supplies to each one but we discussed the pandemic and russias response to lein it rochelle he is the countrys top pediatric surgeon and also an expert the World Health Organization. Humanity has endured another to relive pedantics plague and cholera before this one we have 3 other types of corona virus this is another one and will not last forever this is a new virus it will also us with more losses is the question. Will. The hype the fear mongering for russia i emphasize is not very relevant the situation in russia is not so tragic the media will not be able to ask the cas to russias i supported the measures if you quarantine was imposed factories and transport would stop and this would cause a collapse that is worse than the virus. Or that you know im not a fortune teller in a best case 2 or 3 months. For me this is a test a few manity already we are 4 up and dammit if i were an examiner looking at what is happening in need to leave spain and other countries i would give a c. Minus great which is the most important lesson for us is to rebuild the Health Care System we must be prepared for serious disasters we must be prepared for serious pandemics we must be prepared for serious terrorist attacks we must be prepared for everything and above all our Health Care System must be prepared. For the moment at least russias Health Care System is coping and is not as overstretched as those in some other countries frontline medics that are working around the clock to keep the virus that day and that includes one of moscows main airports there has prompted 22 brothers to show their appreciation. It was him who decided to volunteer and give free coffee to all medical stuff in the airport workers who are in the vanguard of the flying because the coronavirus in this country our idea is to help with all that we have we can make coffee so its not difficult for us to do those tackling the virus. National day of constant we dont have any medical education so we can help them treat people the only thing we can do is make coffee and give some sweets to help them through this tough time the ultimate idea is that if we can help theoretically anyone can. Still to come this hour we seem to be striving doctor and t. V. Star news corps for more testing this Health Professionals demanding hes the one put in charge of the response to that 19 story just off the. Thats the Crucial Point of the book the bottom line of the book namely i think youre pretty much stuck with your looks but if you have other things that youre good at either music or running or doing intellectual work or politics then one should take advantage of ones advantages and project goers and forget about the fact that you may not be the best looking person on the block. The Atlantic Alliance the bedrock of the post world war 2 Global Security order is slowly but surely unraveling more and more often washington in brussels by virtue of importing Foreign Policy issues today europe has a choice to defend its interests or fade into oblivion. Join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you. Hello again. Has increased its testing for corona virus after widespread criticism authorities had previously only checked those arriving from abroad and those whove been in contact with 14 have died from corona virus in the country with thousands infected while in total over 180000. 00 australians have been tested for the disease after a high profile doctor and t. V. Star took the government to task dr norman swan nato be a. B. C. Network the far more checks were needed and views and Health Professions alike demand that one is put in charge of the outbreak. Im a doctor and would like dr norman swan to be the countrys Health Spokesperson during this crisis australia would have a fighting chance if norman swan was the chief medical officer nonpartisan no fluff qualified respected and well known the winner tonight is dr norman swan those are our australia as hes not our chief medical officer but we spoke to dr swan who gave us his take on his countrys response and also the publics call for him to take charge. Why would they want to condemn me to be the chief medical officer of the last drop in the world i want you know chief medical officers whether its in russia or its a thankless task there are new easy decisions where we realized that there was a vacuum of information where the public really where frightened and confused and unfortunately here they werent necessarily gazing at all the information they felt we needed we didnt and we didnt understand that of the time ive been a broadcast journalist in health for a long time so we thought we provide this service and simply answer peoples questions and give them the latest research its still relatively low numbers when you think about whats going on in italy in america and other places but its not good are doubling rate thats how how long it takes for 2000 to become 4000. 00 cases is is shortening so its down to 2 days we havent been as good. At finding people weve done a ban we reduce the number of cases by putting a band very early on in china but we were to put a ban on the United States and thats made it very difficult and so the next phase here in australia has to be with the government hasnt quite got there yet to really expand testing to look for people who may have the virus but dont know it but elsewhere the pandemic is starting to take a hold in the palestinian territories and doctors in gaza have wanted an impending catastrophe Health Services there are ill equipped to cope they say after years of living under these radio. Reports. Im standing at the checkpoint between jerusalem and the occupied west bank city of bethlehem every day until recently thousands of crowds would queue here the large crowds the poor ventilation was the perfect opportunity for the coronavirus to sprayed the israeli army is now closing or checkpoints and at the same time its tossed the police with trying to stop the spread of the virus however in the case of gaza people they will find themselves trapped in a dainty populated strip with a fragile Health Care System which according to the United Nations has been crumbling away before the pandemic but the last 3 in the gaza and the west bank are fragile areas due to the continue siege there has been deteriorating all our medical capabilities for the 14th year and a row its meant the gaza strip has lost all its basic facilities which provide health and Human Interest and thats the condition in which today were facing this virus and we wont be able to fight this problem if we dont receive significant need for the Health Sector especially medical supplies and i see youth is doing he said the World Health Organization which visited gaza this week also gave its verdict the strips failing Health Care System will not be able to deal with a pandemic all along rather even superpowers couldnt control these fires not to mention the high density of population here which can lead to a severe escalation of the pandemic so. The situation here now is harder than during any war we had before and weve witnessed 3 of them that this scenario is definitely worse. We ask all concerned countries to show a bit of humanity and stand with us we dont have enough money to buy those masks we buy only one per day and even this not everybody can afford it most people can only buy food and most of the youth are unemployed despite this so far as hes in gaza are trying t
