The u. N. Childrens fund is one of the possible resurgence of maize will see to the covered 900. 00 pandemic according to unicef millions of children are at risk of missing the vaccines follows World Health Organization guidelines issued in late march saying that immunization should be postponed and missiles as an easily preventable viral disease and according to w h o targets at least 95 percent of people need to be vaccinated the many countries could fall short of that target if quarantine measures continue we heard from robin on the chief of immunization and unicef he says that any vaccine delays must be temporary these 217000000 children that we estimate are going to miss out on measles vaccination over the next several months are. Those children that we miss out on because planned mosque campaigns have been rescheduled or or temporarily suspended why have they been temporarily suspended because we do not want our delivery of immunization. To contribute to the spread of called it so we recommended a temporary suspension of these mosque campaigns in addition to campaigns routine delivery of Immunization Services are also being employed so in addition to me those children are not getting vaccines for other diseases like deep tyria protests polio and so on so you know this our statement gives a snapshot into a much bigger problem that. We have in immunization. Well fine for measles a whole list of diseases that could reappear according to the Vaccine Alliance think leave polio cholera robin nandi again says that after the current pandemic is over countries must please cite of other infections. If you talk about the entire world we estimate that there are. Approximately 20000000 children. That are either unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated so these 20000000. 00 are unprotected to the end to the range of vaccine preventable diseases this is in the pre covert context this figure is going to rise. Considerably and will rise more and more the longer this disruption persists the planning needs to start now what we dont want is is. You know a country affected by call that 19 recovering from the called 19 outbreaks and then faced with an outbreak of vaccine preventable disease our advice to to parents is you know depending on what country you live in depending on what the. Situation is you know follow the you know Public Health interactions you know provided by your ministries of health as soon as these restrictions are lifted. Please keep a record of what. Your child might have missed and please go out as soon as possible to your nearest city. To receive these vaccines. The United States is registered 2400. 00 deaths from covert 9000. 00 in just the past 24 hours its the highest single day figure so far and brings the total loss of life there to more than 28000. 00 nationwide according to official data at least 27. 00 doctors and nurses have died from the virus media reports quote much higher figures and some medics are taking to the streets blaming the government for the severe shortage of protective equipment. Right behind. Me. In this particular rally took place outside a hospital in new york which has been devastated by the pandemic the citys death toll now stands at 10003 times more than china now dicks carried signs demanding urgent action to get supplies of. Personal protective equipment where its needed and emotions boiled over the protest nurses there saying that they are risking their lives because of government incompetence. What we did not find so i just dont know why us then i mean if you do let us. Work as well i wonder lets just. Lets think about the fact that the mount sinai bosses right now are in their mansions in florida while theyre nurses and dying because they cant get the proper v. P. And they just dont give a damn they dont care about our lives the loaded the gun they played russian roulette with working peoples lives with training the consequence was sign from the lack of protective equipment medics in the United States say that the Health Insurance system is putting peoples lives at risk a post by a nurse anesthetist went viral on facebook their expense recalled the final words that he heard from a patient who was put on a ventilator. Whos going to pay for it the nurse in question spoke with r. T. It was really sad because someone who is you know potentially going to die the last thing they should be worried about is how to pay for their health care it speaks to a misallocation of fun you know we have almost endless Discretionary Spending for militarism. We recently just you know injected 1. 00 trillion dollars into the stock market you know just that the years of that but when it comes to health care you know the constant question is whos going to pay for it which is the same question as the patient ironically but you know it just shows where the priorities are i dont know that its necessary to have a multibillion dollar annual military budget you know which with our legit department of defense where i think a real honest effort to defend would be with providing care for our citizens especially with the amount of people that just lost their insurance thats type of their employment as you know a lot of people just lost their jobs with this pandemic so the Economic Situation in new york is rapidly deteriorating and thats to make it half a 1000000 people have lost their livelihoods because the pandemic and some even unable to put food on the table on eastern it each of us reports from the city. Today new york city mayor bill de blasio shifting focus to Food Insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic this crisis is now adding to that number of people who are food insecure every day because literally people run out of money every single day well over a 1000000 people in new york city where food and secure before kovan 1000 including one in every 5 children as unemployment grows many are going hungry we need to. Keep our family eating. And we have to take a rest the mayor announcing a 170000000. 00 initiative to fight hunger in the city 50000000. 00 of which will go to building up an emergency food reserve for backup saying that since the pandemic more than 500000 people lost their livelihood when it comes to Something Like unemployment the effects get felt more deeply week after week it doesnt all happen i want to guess she gets tougher as we go along so. I think whats coming up is going to be even more of a challenge and thats why were preparing right now to feed everyone this while the citys Homeless Population seeks refuge with no place to go as new york remains the epicenter of the outbreak with over 200000 cases and more than 10000 deaths the city announcing that they plan to move 6000 Homeless People about a 3rd of shelter residents from shelters into hotels by april 20th the coalition for the homeless saying that the move does not come close to meeting the scale or urgency of the need this while new York Governor Andrew Cuomo along with governors from several other Eastern States are working to coordinate the reopening of the region and its economy while governments grapple with how to reopen people on the streets of new york have mixed feelings i know everyone in new york is so anxious to go back but we have to take things slow and. Slow we take in more time we have to. Go back to work in a safe environment and the death toll decreasing 600 to 800 people a day is still too high and has to come down way down before me to feel safe to get back on the train or do anything. The curve continues to flatten in new york and neighboring new jersey the 2nd most impacted state cases continue to climb today the state has more than 68000 cases and nearly 3000 deaths Governor Phil Murphy telling residents not to expect the lockdown rules to be lifted until june at the earliest reporting in new york Trinity Chavez our. Mother can supply firms in the u. S. So the mothers are being made worse by tariffs on chinese products on the region president trying to lift those restrictions at morgan has a story. As the us emerges as the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic donald trump is Standing Firm on his america 1st policies sticking to a trade war with china over urgent and essential medical supplies that are now running short everyone has been discussing the requirements for more vents but no one is discussing the need for patients when they are on the vents the sedatives and the 38th and paralytic agents demand and no supply partly due to a 25 percent tariff thats been imposed d and the trumpet ministration is not willing to completely lift it some of the goods produced in china are essential and cannot be replaced for example youve got chinese made fabric in bed sheets these sheets desperately needed because hospitals have dramatically increasing the number of beds available for the in spate its in code 1000 patients some special medical equipment for anesthesia cannot be produced without built in ventilators that are made in china at this point the demand is 10 times what is available and the price of Hand Sanitizer has also gone up due to u. S. Terrorists. At the end of the day the consumer ultimately is having to be price gouged and pay a kings ransom for something we desperately need to give them and they cant afford to live without so sadly the tariffs have continued to drive into the pockets of february American Consumer all the companies that are pushing for the terrorists to be lifted saying that its necessary to fight the pandemic and american lives are at stake the us trade secretary doesnt agree in imposing tariffs on goods from china as part of the section 3 a one action the United States determines north impose tariffs on certain critical products such as ventilators oxygen masks and nebulizers in addition over the past year the u. S. Trade representative granted exclusions for a large number of Health Related products notably the imposition of tariffs on certain chinese imports has not resulted in an overall decline in the availability of needed medical equipment and supplies but experts say the terrorists have never really been fully lifted at this point 3300000000. 00 worth of critical Important HealthCare Products and only had the tariff reduced by 7. 5 percent it seems that Donald Trumps obsessive opposition to china as well as his idea of wanting to appear is that deal maker could be putting american lives at risk it would mop and archie new york we have a financial analyst benjamin chair who believes that the u. S. Needs to save lives rather than gauging trade wars and also from professor politics to have been honing i think that trumps in no position to relax the pressure on china. Theres been a lot of debate about whether or not were seeing the emergence of a new world order and whether or not china is winning in this so i think that what were going to see is is you know not a relaxing but a doubling down and a commitment to this strategy of trying to limit and contain china that trump initiated once he took Office Finally i dont think trump is concerned very much about whether or not were going to have supplies from china i think theres a whole strategy at this point depends on trying to contain things until we get to the warmer months and hope for a vaccine as a Silver Bullet you can be on greening the tree warnocks a lot of 3 missing u. S. Economy have already expressed a view that even either the economy is to curse pilots continuing their piracy is the 1st task to do because economic value can only be created by People Like Us the 2nd quarter of this year is widely expected to contract 36 percent and then any rights basis and people are really losing their jobs to them it is a clear example of that the world wants join hands to apply their powers it requires country in fighting to drive is we determine the time. Otherwise the virus free travel bag that other countries and trade war used exactly against global stationing trade very tripe for the economic growth. Is extended its nation wide shut down and Small Business and this is saying that millions could be left on that story have to show. You the. Join me every thursday on the all excitement shore and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you than. Anyone else seem wrong why dont we all just all. The all the yet to shape out this day become educated and in game training equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back francis recorded its worst single day death toll from covert 90 more than 1400 fatalities were announced on wednesday bringing the total in the country 217000 according to the Health Minister the spike in numbers is due to a delay in reporting following the 3 day easter weekend meanwhile the nationwide shutdown staking a severe toll on the economy so do the school reports. This week president told from the lockdown would and on may 11th while that means citizens will apparently be able to leave their homes and some businesses will we start thats not the case. You are some Lonely People however Public Places restaurants cafes and hotels cinemas and museums will remain closed at this stage with no end date for when they can reopen some restaurants and cafes are starting to stress this year. Through all the challenges that. Arisen over the years with. Strikes on the make sure the terrorists attacks and so we can always go in confidently here. What is happening now really has. Got to the or where we actually do anything Small Businesses cafes such as this the pallet in and restaurants are seen as being the life blood of the National Economy in france and that is particularly true here in paris when they were shut down as being no one essential business is back in march some claim that that would herald an economic catastrophe and those warnings are serving true. Figure in france in 1945 was minus 2. 2 percent in 2009 after the financial crisis of 2008 we will probably be very thought beyond minus 2. 2 percent this year the government has announced packages worth tens of billions of euros to help save jobs and prop up the economy but poor baron again says though this is a did his employees own this like himself have been left in a tight jam. Theres been no is that how as owners were not salaried per se with both companies so at this stage there has been no help for us this is the 1st time in my life that there is that strangeness of how im going to pay my mortgage how am i going to you know food on the table and so i guess the stress of that is real they represent. The. Months probably before were kind of in trouble business is feeling the pressure can apply for loans but paul says the interest free period is only a year and he doesnt think taking on debt with so much uncertainty is prudent they can give as many loans to the cows come home. But it is but we dont want to do is get into too much debt because then i had this idea that it would just be very hard to get out of it i think what would help us is that instead of just freeze in Social Security just basically saying hey look you dont have to pay. His debt and thats probably one of my biggest expenses this is curious if they came out and said look see at the basis of security at all then that would give us the kind of hope that one sweet get back we dont have coming off. Each month when cafes and restaurants reopen they may also have to contend with far fewer tourists that will certainly hit hard hit in paris now added to that concern is that even locals may be feeling the pinch from the recession and less likely to part with a catch so perhaps treat such as a specialty coffee or eating out may be off the menu putting even further strain on Small Businesses such as these poll describes himself as being an entrepreneur and he told me that with the right help his business will pull through even if that means adapting and changing how they operate but for that to happen it needs to start with one key ingredient clarity from the government so they can say that they are open for business charlotte even ski auti paris. Pups in the u. K. Are facing a similar crisis theyve been shut for almost a month now and one landlord in norwich posted a video showing around the sun signed was. Was. Signed there was kegs of beer being tipped down a drain according to some estimates 50000000 pints will go to waste if the lockdown continues throughout the summer we heard from the man in that video you saw there philip cutter who explained why he had to dump his supplies the problem is that we had here. That was was open and. He would just go dance it down in our cellars so we had to pour it down the drain just to be able to dispose of it in that short period time that was 5050 gallons or so being the rest of that data and our salaries we look at it almost a 1000 gallons of that replicate across the country just that you seek support against the war system in the short term we can certainly look at. Our bills and people will flow through probably about 6 times weve been well established a fair number of years ive worked here since the age of 16 and that was 33 years ago. That there have been trading for quite as long as well established quite good cash flow so they are out there and really really struggle. With british pubs and key
