Heres what has given. To provide sufficient. Hard. Forth a very warm welcome to our to international law. We begin with our developing story in russia 3 people are confirmed to have. A boiler explosion ripped through the building causing it to partially collapse a warning you may find the following pictures. The body of the 3rd victim was recently taken out of the debris. Urgency ministry 9 more people were injured 4 of currently are in hospital it all happened in a ton located there are 90 kilometers east of moscow correspondent he spoke to me earlier from the scene. The rescue services and in fact you can see behind me theres plenty of rescue workers theyre still working on clearing out the debris essentially a whole section of a 5 story residential Building Collapse because of a gas explosion talked to some people in fact i talked to an elderly woman who lived in that particular section but she was a lucky and she was not living she didnt live in the section that collapsed but right next to it heres how she told me hes how she described to me what she experienced pretty clearly that they measured services arrived and told us to leave the building we were about to do that but it turned out that our friend joe had been torn apart and the nearest wall had collapsed and locked the exit start to scream and telling them that we couldnt get out of their majesties services then had to rescue us if we dont know what to do know the house is no longer suitable for lay then we will move then her daughter but she has 2 children and a husband and now also the 2 of us in a 4 to square metre apartment well in fact the blast was so powerful that it shadowed the windows of adjacent of nearby buildings as you can see there are shattered all over the ground and this is the building that right that is right in front of the one that where the gas explosion explosion had happened its not the only building that suffered from of this we also talked to some people who witnessed it who didnt live in this particular residential building but who witness said from from their homes is what they told us 1st here. I was in my balcony smoking that an explosion happened in a building and from where i was i could see the corner of the building i saw smoke shook with was so strong that even reached my window. In the distance that i was at home when i heard the noise it sounded like a building was shaking i rushed to the street but i couldnt see anything then i heard the police and firefighters sirens i followed the people standing outside in blankets among them were many children and elderly people. At 1st all i could see was a cloud of dust but a few minutes later when it dispersed i saw a guy sitting on the 3rd floor who was covered in blood people immediately rushed towards him slowly brought him down 5 minutes later and ambulance arrived and took him away. Those 200 people who had been evacuated from this building they are right now in a nearby school this is where they have been placed for now but obviously all of them are concerned as to where they will be spending this night already well the governor of the Moscow Region talked to them and then he talked to us to journalists and he explained what the authorities are going to do to help out those who have found themselves in this tragedy that is the nationals of the show. Is to provide everyone with accommodation and then the experts will make a decision on what happens next with the building of the residents affected you receive special material assistance with which will several people are still unaccounted for no it doesnt mean that they are there under the tons of rubble behind me but it means they are simply not picking up their phones and as the authorities are trying to reach them but still rescue as well its still a lot of work ahead of them and it seems it looks like that they are going to be working through the night here. There. Were a deadly stabbing incident in the southeast of the country is now being treated as a potential terror attack if left to did that at least 5 injured its believed her written documents pointing to a possible motive were followed in the suspect was this is how witnesses describe the moment of the attack. The key i heard people scream or ran outside there was a person standing there the Police Quickly arrested him or human handcuffs and knocked him to the ground out there talking for a quiet town like i was having such a serious incident near a pulp mill is shocking with. The president among all mccrone earlier offered his condolences to victims here sir france correspondent charlotte devinsky with more on the attack where we havent had very much from the police other than the fact that the perpetrator behind this attack has been arrested and now an investigation is underway into what the motives were behind that attack what we know from local reports as to what happened is that this took place in a coalmine just south of on call. And it took place at around 11 am local time here in france now we understand that the assailant was armed with a knife and he it packed passers by in the center of this comment and also according to reports went into some of the shops attacking customers and also a star inside those shops now we understand 2 people have been killed as a result of that attack and several others were injured including some who are said to need Critical Conditions or in Critical Condition in hospital right now receiving treatment for their injuries we also know more details from local reports about the attacker we understand it was a Sudanese National who is an Asylum Seeker here in france and that he is said to be in kiev thirtys we have heard from the interior minister here in france this is what Christopher Kastner had to say on twitter or my thoughts go to the victims of the attack at romance or is their and their relatives their ledge perpetrator was arrested by National Police the police and leon are mobilized under the authority of the Justice Department to stop was the nature of this horrific act and weve also had witness reports its been reported by local media that he shouted back while rushing towards his victims but that hasnt been confirmed by the police he has been arrested as i mentioned and the Counterterrorism Police are investigating. But these are the latest figures in the covert 19 pandemic today billions of people are currently under some sort of lockdown but the number of coronavirus cases is still increasing there are now almost 1200000 registered infections more than 64000 people have died but almost a quarter of a 1000000 people have recovered. Well lets start in france which has now reported its deadliest day yet with frontline medical staff saying theyre exhausted still under equipped hundreds of nurses are raising awareness about their lack of protection by photographing themselves without any clothes on their symbolic Campaign Runs with the naked eye against covert 191. 00 of the nurses involved ses the french governments putting Health Workers a deadly risk. Look. Heres what our government has given asked. As you can see we need to full range of necessary medical equipment such we actually dont have to provide sufficient medical help for our patients and the risks for us as well as with the government and at least under threat we decided to before make it as part of this campaign because i thought id just leave us naked in the face of the pandemic. From late on special high speed trains for moving infected patients between cities to try and ease the burden that overwhelmed facilities by transferring the sick to less crowded hospitals from near lifeless shell again ses the countrys Health Care System has been in dire need of an overhaul over in. The middle east i think our interests should be represented but nobody protects us on a governmental level it is not only the current government that bears responsibility for the situation we find ourselves right now frances Health Care System has been a dire conditions in a 15 or 20 years the 5th the 6th strong as european economy doesnt have the capability to take the necessary medical measures so they have to understand that you refuse this choice this and youre pretty aware that this is our reality we have to choose which patients to treat. Of course just about every country is having a tough time trying to stay on top of infections but particularly hard knowing stories emerging in ecuador in the countries most densely populated city there are reports that having having to leave the bodies of their dead on the streets Health Services or struggling to cope well the government says it is building a special facility for corona virus victims. My brother has just died due to respiratory problems and hes here outside the house the police told me they can come and collect the body and i have to wait a day mourning the. Body lying here on the side 3 ready ready. Haro in weight well lets move now to europe again where a member of the british Science Group responsible for marking infections once they herd immunity weve heard a lot about before often without strategy to be reconsidered it would involve allowing 60 percent of the population to get infected it was suggested a few weeks ago but was abundant does hospitals rapidly fill up professor graeme medley ses the lockdown currently in place in the u. K. Is not enough this disease is so nasty that we had to suppress it completely then weve kind of painted ourselves into a corner because then the question will be what do we do now in broad terms are we going to continue to harm children to protect Vulnerable People or not if we carry on with the looked at it buys more time we can get more thought into it but it doesnt resolve any think its a placeholder. Well britain is battling with 41000 cases currently as we know as well but over 4300 people hours of this saturday of die is more than the number of fatalities recorded in china its led to another trucking solution being floated by the Health Secretary who himself has just recovered from the virus but one cox looking at issuing immunity passports the people who developed bodies. We are looking at munity certificate how we can how how people who are have the disease have got the antibodies and therefore have immunity can show that and so get back as much as normal to as much as possible to normal life but its too early in the science of the immunity that comes from having happen disease the problem right now though is that of the u. K. As not yet approved the Antibody Test and Health Experts say its still not clear whether people with the antibodies those whove had this season recovered are truly immune to reinfection we discuss possible ways forward with british lawyer luke gets us liberal Democrat Party politician alan belcher. There is no Antibody Test that is functional which has been currently developed and weve got 66000000 people in the country to try and test to get certificates for and naturally some of them will require retesting so the practicalities of this are impossible practicalities it difficult nonplaying know and claim its going to be easy but it can be managed you know germany has implemented a system that which we are attempting to model and i think what we cant do is underestimate the economic damage of the entire population being on lockdown you know were seeing a 1000000 new claims for Social Security or you equivalent in this country going in suggesting people are losing their jobs feel as if theyre about to lose their jobs of course the government is not going to allow any system of testing there is certain but if we can get to a place where we let people return to work if they have the necessary antibodies if that is scientifically possible then in principle its something we absolutely have to support part of the governments strategy i think is to try and make sure that we flatten the curve as much as possible but were trying to do that at the moment without adequate testing a tool and so i would much rather government focused on getting the current tests out to everybody you need them and we need to concentrate on get solving that problem 1st rather than trying to design pie in the sky schemes around something that doesnt even exist yet cant allow that uncertainty to lull us into a state of complete inertia and i dont disagree that obviously p. P. Is an absolute significant priority but we also have to recognize that getting people back to work is a priority i think one of the problems with the government messaging so far has been not giving people a sense of the way out of this what were living with in the moment is a sort of indefinite state where people have no idea when theyre going to get back to work that level of uncertainty is killing British Business and it stands to do a lot more damage in the virus itself.

Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im show business ill see you. Again oil prices rallied slightly after a glimmer of optimism and a global feud over production prices. Dried up because of coronavirus but behind the scenes theres also been a rock over cutting world supplies we heard more all not earlier from correspondent. The oil sucked it was already in a precarious situation and thats only been wason by the spread of covert 19 but it seems that some leaders are trying to mitigate the fool out so on friday in a meeting with the countrys top Oil Executives russian president Vladimir Putin suggested that he be ready to cut Oil Production in a bid to try and revive the price collapse of carney at seeing an 18. 00 yet low price should grosser considers it necessary to join forces we were not initiators of the consolation of the opec plus deal we are ready for agreements with partners and we are ready for interaction with the United States on this issue i think it is necessary to join efforts to balance the market and reduce production as a result of these coordinated efforts and actions he also did specifically emphasize that they have to be a joint coordinated effort not a case where one or 2 countries make some sort of compromise and the others just sit back and really reap the rewards. Just when we are in close contact with our partners in saudi arabia recently i had a conversation with the United States president we all are concerned about your developing situation everyone is interested in joining to and i would like to emphasize coordinated actions for ensuring long term market stability. A couple of weeks ago and impasse started between the wild top Oil Producing nations and not exactly was over slashing production so that saw prices plunge not was only wason when saudi arabia decided to essentially just open its tops and flood the market and that really caused chaos thats how we got to this moment but luckily it seems that the market is already responding quite well to this latest initiative from russia we saw in fact a record breaking percentage climb in oil prices so you stabilize ation measures will likely be the prime rate top. Well top of the agenda after the opec plus meeting and actually were getting reports that the majority of opec members do actually support cutting down on production the u. S. Is the top the oil producer who also want to see this. Very quickly especially unfortunately its found itself in the terrible position of being a country in terms of the coronavirus pandemic. Only on this story really blamed brush for the failure to agree on production cuts saudi officials also refused to cleans up intentionally trying to squeeze our chill Oil Producers in order we discussed who might be responsible with the chief executive of a Foreign Exchange brokerage and also with a columnist political commentator so you are a very desperate mayor almost bankrupt they have to pry i say they have a vast vast deficit they are running the government has so many expenses and they have not enough being done so they have to increase their own production to sell it at any price the saudis someplace for this mess definitely and only russia is at the minute the only one who is a problem and who is supply tries to get everybody back to the table and makes good not only good d suggestions they are even willing to cut their own production even though they need the money to do i can say with confidence but you really need a ph d. When. Increase the use of production in order to lets say harm or ethical all the other. Ground to kind of. Of discounts well that if he goes by it without saying it gets a lot of pressure on the on the on the project hes already losing money they are kept on. Life for assistance with probably with some subsidizing their suffering a lot and most probably would have to cut. On you know on the expenses theyre doing that means also him possibly even more on the same government side. Maybe not the bankruptcy situation but if you hold it could become quite quite fast.
