Sharing the pandemic confusion. Coming up to the pentagon tries to source around a 100000 body bags and with shortages to overrun facilities in the u. S. With a number of deaths is expected to soar in the coming weeks. Hello this is our international from 2 pm here now this thursday when i was kevin welcome into this 30 minute world news round up. 1st these are the latest figures in the coded 1000. 00 pandemic to date the total number of coronavirus cases around the globe is veering towards a 1000000 now the number of deaths 2 continues its troubling rise its now more than 48000 with billions under lockdown over 200000 people who have recovered here in russia as just mentioned the infection rates on an upward curve much of the countrys in isolation measures and president putin is expected to update the nation in a couple of hours time well get more on that with our correspondent a little later. But 1st france has now surpassed 4000 coronavirus related deaths and 57000 registered cases perhaps surprisingly those on the front line of treating the sick and now reporting that theyre suffering violence and abuse one nurse says she was attacked as thieves stole the face masks she was carrying and pharmacy workers say theyre no also suffering physical and verbal abuse since strict quarantine rules were imposed our system shows a 50 to 60 percent increase in aggressive action against pharmacists says the beginning of the isolation regime compared to the same weeks last year these actions include insoles threats but also physical attacks and break ins in neighboring italy the lockdown has been extended but difficulty in buying food is seeing some resort to fair charlotte do penske has the story. It started in solidarity and song to keep up spirits i. But now off to 3 weeks of lockdown the mood and dangers are apparently evolving they are no longer singing dancing on the balconies now people are more afraid not so much of the virus but of poverty many are out of work and hungry even though in the poorer southern regions the impact of covert 19 has been less dramatic than in the north they too are in confinement and just people run out of food and money so dissipate as residents are becoming Desperate Police are now patrolling supermarkets and streets in some areas no longer just to make sure that people are staying indoors but to stop thieves we need to act fast more than that distress into violence as supplies drawing up reports are emerging that gangs around sicily are using social media to plot attacks on stools this comes after a Ferry Company that used to deliver vital supplies of food and medicine to the island fell into bankruptcy and has halted its services its not just the stores that are under threat local media has also reported that 2 elderly italians were rolled off their shopping by young people on scooters targeted apparently because they were seen as easy prey civil unrest is some suggest a real concern im afraid that the worries gonorrhoea thanking large sections of the population over him. Future with the continuation of the crisis will turn into ungar cred that warning has been echoed by the head of the red cross which believes italy wont be the only country impacted by social unrest if the lock downs continue in the most difficult neighborhoods of the biggest cities im afraid in a few weeks who have social problems this is a social bomb that can explode at any moment because they dont have any way to have an income even though italys Prime Minister. Has said his government too will designate 400000000 euros for food bouchers as part of the why dont release package may say that the funds simply arent enough we were expecting more and i hope the government will find a way the situation is extremely delicate as a significant part of the population has 0 income those who before lived with dignity now find themselves in difficulty quarantine in italy has been extended until at least april the 12th but as with other countries that is not a definitive end date and while covert 19 may be gutting the country italy soon could have to fight back against a very different kind of threat charlotte devinsky r. T. Paris italys economy was already fragile before the virus hit now locals fear this latest impact might mean their lives never return to normal. When i leave my home here in florence do some shopping i feel the situation has really become more dramatic the streets are empty and i see Police Officers doing their checks everywhere im not really afraid for myself but i do feel worried about the situation in general if things dont change soon and people keep losing their jobs remain locked up or we risk of a crisis much worse than anything before. This is one of the hardest moments we have ever had to endure were trying to move forward despite all the sadness what people see in the future well i think it will be very hard especially for local businesses who are already starting to go bankrupt i hope our government will help and europe will not abandon us. People a lot of people are upset because of bees and though we are easily to each child our friends the apes and basically whats the perception off of they look be normal is there that we will never go back to normal life. Even after after their love down this is due to that factor so many company Many Services are all going to restaurants shut down definitely after a new crisis even worse months from there you know youre being you you know on Central Banks are not good enough where before a call or. A sort of crisis will be a war then doesnt that any decent this is our perception. So im a director of 2 hotels in marina the camera also which is close to salerno its a coastal city where we used to hosting many tourists in the summer time but due to this pandemic situation we dont know how its going to be were trying to modify our Cancellation Policy but for sure well lose a lot of money as well have to drop our prices. Were trying to keep positive amongst the goal isolating the towns the silky komisar itself music and songs from the balconies one neighborhoods definitely lucked out being serenaded by a professional opera singer no less. Than one well theyre not the only one you know you. Will know. One will and will will will. Its called emails has been telling us how the popularity of that video being shared widely online is helping her overcome the difficulties of having to stay at home. The plan wasnt actually to make a video. Once they closed all of the streets and everything in rome they made an announcement on t. V. That people would get together in solidarity to sing difference arms for 3 nights in a row and on this night we went out and everyone sang the National Anthem together and then my neighbors asked me to sing another song so i sang this line and my friend filmed there but it was definitely not my and my friend uploaded it to face and i got a lot of it is that i share it and then it just kind of. Crazy it helps that i have so many people reaching out to me after this video. And they say that i have helped them but really they have helped me a lot and i have my family and my friends but im here by myself and. Its really hard you know. While the pandemics proven to be a litmus test for solidarity in the the Bigger Picture the reluctance of germany and other wealthy european nations to share the Financial Burdens infuriated italy or europe correspondent peter all of those closer at the impasse. Away from quarantine and self isolation the very future of how the European Union sees itself may be at risk from this corona pun demick will it look back and see a union that stick together through tough times or one that fell apart a group of the talian officials took out a full page police in a major german newspaper that told at the heartstrings it is solidarity that you germans were showing by many European Countries after the war and often to reunification did german friends memory helps in making the right decisions the crux of the letter is hope hope that the financial burden for dealing with corona virus will be shared out amongst Member States it echoes what had previously been said by the italian Prime Minister just said he cant take talking about mutual izing current and future debt not harping back to world war 2. Again i wanted so old german citizens were not right in the beach overdosed on economics by the beach of a history book because germanys hardly greeted those pleas with open arms maintaining that the 2012 european state billeted mechanism is the only option. So it is no to corona bombs yes to the european stability mechanism and Investment Bank i think that is the way to help europe and at the same time to maintain the stability of the euro in the long term that response is left some in rome angry europe has enjoyed each of these political weakness for many decades italy today does not want to be a waiter while others are eating lobsters like france and germany if you plan to take advantage of the emergency to bring countries like italy or other countries with more fragile economies to their needs europe will have no future. Barely also made a show of removing the fly from his office replacing it with the italian trick a law its a symbolic gesture for sure but what it does show is that there are some Member States that are increasingly disappointed in a union that supposed to look out for everyones interests not being particularly forthcoming when it comes to helping those in dire need deal not only with upon demick but also with the Economic Impact it will also have peter all over r. T. Berlin let me have you next to the picture in russia than 771 new coronavirus cases were confirmed earlier thursday with the total number jumping here to over 3500 its the biggest single day increase in patients since the start of the break so far theres been 30 deaths the russian president to make another nationwide address later the day to give an update on the countrys response to the pandemic is said to weather with such detail in central moscow. I see you need details of what the president is likely to say than later hi kevin while at the moment we know that this is the 2nd address in the last 8 days that president putin will be making to the nation we know that its going to happen sometime on thursday afternoon probably around 4 pm local time now just like the 1st one that was last wednesday this was quite unexpectedly an announcer before we delve into what potentially on the topic of conversation lets listen to that announcement. Right now no decision has been taken about prolonging the paid work for the week the president is working on his new nationwide address lets wait and see what the president has to say. While we know that the address will most likely be dedicated to the covert 19 pandemic russias not been immune to it as you said the last 24 hours has seen new 771 cases bring the total to around 3500 but it is welcome actually at the same time russia has 4 into the top 3 countries in terms of testing so so far to date around 530000 tests have been conducted in the last 24 hours 48000 in fact was set up specifically for that purpose but apart from the general situation both within russia and abroad what concretely might president putin be talking about while we know on one stage that Vladimir Putin did hold a televised Conference Meeting with his government and they discussed a number of issues including of course the Coronavirus Fight and it was announced that off to the 33 1000000. 00 would be dedicated to paying salaries of people in the wost hit sectors those things like travel Tourism Hospitality we seen. How lines have been forced to layoff tens of thousands of Staff Members as a result of this pandemic it was also said that a much larger figure 18000000000. 00 if if that number is correct would be dedicated to generally the fight against coronavirus and theyve specifically aimed at supporting small and medium sized businesses that have been that have seen obviously terrible losses in the last couple of weeks and months also on wednesday the parliament approved an increase of much harsher fines and punishment for those who dont quarantine correctly i was actually in this very studio last wednesday that i was sitting one person. Made his fast address to the nation but he essentially laid out a battle plan amongst specific measures he also announced a non working week that is the week that what carter and 30th of march into the 5th of april essentially all russians except those watching Critical Services occur in sitting at home in self isolation they can only go out if theyre going to the pharmacy if theyre going to close the shop or indeed if they have much and you need to go to the hospital so today there are some people asking will we see an extension of that 7 day nonworking week or will we even potentially see something much harsher imposed a lockdown that were seeing in the style of the European Countries like the u. K. France its me and of course spain which has been terribly hit so those are the kinds of questions those things that could be discussed economic measures stricter social distancing policies all of c. P. Listening and well bring you the very latest when f. S. U. Much as you. Know should be around about 2 hours or so if not just a bit before will be across and when it. Could turn central moscow thank you is going to 70 minutes past to the afternoon here in russia in moscow anyway high the reporting worldwide on the. Way that comes to tackling the pandemic coming up the american soil is stuck at sea after an outbreak on board the warship is causing a headache for the tiny Pacific Island thats now expected to help isolate one of thousands of crude smuggle stories to come. Join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see that. Again the pentagon is trying to source 100000 body bags right now the United States currently has the worlds highest number of infections and white house Officials Say the virus could play more than 2 100000 lives in the country more than a 1000 died on wednesday alone the highest daily number so far the situations going so tough in new york that refrigerated trucks of being stationed there overwhelmed hospitals to try to cope with the rising amount of deaths as americas try to teach of its reports next. As the 2nd month of the corona Virus Outbreak begins the nation is bracing for the worst of it i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead this disturbing video showing several bodies being moved from a Brooklyn Hospital treating kovac 19 patients the number of deaths expected to grow as we approach the anticipated apex the range on the apex is somewhere between. Lets say 7 to 21. Makeshift hospitals are wrecked across new york city the Javits Center central park and now parts of the Tennis Center that host the u. S. Open this as concerns grow that hospitals will soon run out of protective equipment for staff and medical supplies including those lifesaving ventilators which Governor Cuomo says are nearly impossible to get its like being on e bay with 50 other states bidding on a ventilator. And you see the big go up because california. Illinois bit florida bid new york bids california rebids thats literally what were doing new york city mayor bill de blasio calling on all veterinarians and plastic surgeons to lend their ventilators if youve got a ventilator in your office in your operating room we need it now it should not be sitting there doing nothing all officials are still working to flatten the curb in new york Governor Cuomo believes the apex will hit the state at some point in april reporting in new york city chavez are. Thousands of sailors on the 1st u. S. Warship on deployment to report an outbreak will be taken off the vessel by friday more than 100. 00 personnel of Theodore RooseveltsAircraft Carrier have tested positive and quarantining with stuff in such close proximity to one another as proved a challenge big challenge the evacuation will be carried out in the u. S. Pacific territory of guam without ships currently docked but thats a concern in itself which could see facilities overstretched the islands only got a couple of 100 hospital beds and is already dealing with nearly 80 local infections the u. S. Warships crew will know self isolated military bases and local hotels or though some will have to stay on board one thing i want to emphasize as well is that we cannot and will not remove all the say or from the ship and thats not what the Commanding Officer requested either nor the medical team our plan has always been to remove as much of the crew as we can while maintaining for the ships safety this ship has weapons on it it has munitions on it it has expensive aircraft and it has a Nuclear Power plant that requires a certain number of people on that ship to maintain the safety and security of the ship for the pentagon analyst Michael Maloof told us about the unique dangers posed when theres an outbreak on a military vessel like that. Its very very difficult on a warship like that unlike a cruise and a cruise ship which also was infected on an Aircraft Carrier a destroyer or submarine you dont have the luxury of individual compartments except maybe for the tap them because they do what they because theyre on 247 duty they do what they call hot whereas the someone whos on duty gives up his bed and someone else sleeps that i mean its that close they confide and as a consequence the ability to spread the
