a mosque. has it's of one family member at a time. this was a hint of what chaos might in see you with the virus were to enter the confines of the prison system it is almost everywhere else in italy these were rest scenes filmed inside a hospital in the northern town of cremona and also on lockdown the financial capital milan one of the engines of the economy europe's major stock markets than to frankfurt paris and london all suffered dramatic falls on monday with share prices plummeting as the infection rate saw the economic impact of the coronavirus is already substantial and will only grow there are discomforting comparisons being made to the 2008 financial crisis with concerns for the preparedness european banks and businesses. on tuesday elitist will meet to try to come up with a unified response but they won't meet here in person in brussels with steadily

growing infection rate instead they'll be holding a tele conference the circumstances of this unique crisis continue to evolve although not yet into a pandemic says the world health organization in which transmission of the virus is uncontrolled now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries the threats of a pandemic has become very real. but it would be the 3rd spondon week in history that could be controlled there are signs of success against the virus in china south korea and singapore but not yet in europe spain looks set to launch what's being described as shock therapy measures possibly following france and germany with school closures and restrictive public gatherings these are moves the government in britain is not yet prepared to make keen apparently to defer the enormous social and economic costs of fighting the coronavirus but that

will likely be no avoiding them victoria gayton be algis there. well let's not speak to him jose vajrayana just said the university of florida and also a former italian politician she joins us on skype from gainesville in florida i thank you very much for your time and 1st of all why do you. have so many cases compared to other countries in your. i actually think that italy might have some cases more than others but i think that the system of reporting that is used in italy is very very different from systems that are being used in other countries i think that it is likely that infection from asia don't reach italy only but it reached a series of european countries and that there have been in truer opinion the circulation of the virus and italy is one of the countries infected by the

coronavirus it certainly has. had a significant number of hospitalized patients but italy has. a significant aging population we are one of the old countries with. longest life expectancy plus the public service will take on any case and therefore i think that this is quite a unique situation compared to the rest who are right there have been some reports suggest saying out of the virus could have a ride in italy before the travel ban to and from china was issued you talked about what's contributing to the spread is if these health system ready to deal with this emergency today we've heard about the rest that the government has imposed this but what about the health system can it culp. ok so i don't think that the

virus when it left before the wall ham lockdown went only to italy. there are as i said many many connections in europe or china but also in africa with china and so i suspect that the infection might be more widespread than what is it is currently believed to be. i also think that the italian. system and i would really like to commend the colleagues in the north of italy who have actually. managed and are managing a very very difficult situation which is not only going to be italy's problem this profitably actually reacted very fast and implemented a system i think that italy will actually. be of inspiration and of guidance to other countries as they face these problems so do

you expect the numbers so to go up in other countries in europe yes i think. the number of clinical cases is going to go up the biggest question mark we have is that we don't know how many non symptomatic cases we have or mild cases so we don't really have the number of infected people we have the number of clinical cases which is different from the number of infected people once we know that we will know how many people are actually developing immunity and this is one of the main drivers that will stop the virus from circulating thank you very much for speaking to us a cappella vajrayana just joining us there from gainesville in florida i thank you for your time thank you very much. now coronavirus years plus an oil price

war have played a big part in a plunge in global stock markets on monday it was the worst $1.00 day drop on wall street in 2008 financial crisis with more than 7 percent things were so bad that trading was suspended at one point to cool off the meltdown because since you know me reports from new york. from the opening bell investors were sounding the alarm a massive stock selloff amid growing fears that the coronavirus was evolving from a health crisis to an economic one as more people stay home cancel trips and reduce their spending walking around new york today or even the last few days one begins to see what is real economic pain to come which is empty restaurants and empty stores and circling looking for business that doesn't seem to be there it got so bad that just minutes into trading a nosedive of 7 percent on the s. and p. index triggered an automatic shut down temporarily halting trading the market stop

for 15 minutes and what is that it gives people a chance sort of stabilize get the buyers or interested involved sellers interested involved this a gauge of the emotionality of the panic vote and try to get a sense of really what's going on markets open to the news that the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the u.s. had topped 508 states had declared a state of emergency and that oil prices have dropped 30 percent after some oil producing countries failed to reach an agreement to reduce production launching a price war. new york was the last stop on a worldwide wave of sally all the main european and exes fell by more than 7 percent after asian markets also saw sharp declines. i made so much uncertainty the federal reserve which is the u.s. central bank has promised to make more money available for short term loans to keep cash flowing to financial markets other measures may be under consideration but so

far they haven't had enough to reassure investors that the coronavirus won't take in the entire economy precisely al-jazeera. u.s. president donald trump says it's planning to discuss with congress possible cuts to payroll taxes in response to the corona virus outbreak he made the announcement as he briefed the press a short while ago says the possible tax cuts will be substantial and can help support the economy as the country continues to deal with the outbreak one in 600 people in the u.s. have been infected. we are going to take care of them have been taken care of the american public and the american economy we are going to be asking tomorrow we're seeing the senate going to be meeting with house republicans which mcconnell everybody and discussing a possible payroll tax. cut or relief substantial really very substantial relief

that's a big that's a big number and we're also going to be talking about hourly wage earners getting. help so that they can. feed a position where that i could ever miss a paycheck be working with companies and small companies large companies a lot of companies so that they don't get penalizes something that's not their faults not their fault it's not our country's fault that this was something that we were thrown into and we're going to handle it and we have been handling it. as peter was in jordan in washington d.c. vas a series of measures announced by the president will they be enough to reassure reassure the american public that his administration is under control of the situation it's probably not going to be enough and that's because there have been to so many mixed messages coming from the administration the president for his part downplaying the severity of this health crisis while almost every hour another

community here in the united states is announcing that at least one person or several people have either tested positive or are of suspected of having contracted the corona virus because there has been so little low availability of the test kits in order to diagnose whether someone has been infected with corona virus there really is no clear sense of just how widespread the virus is in the u.s. and there certainly is no sit there certainly is no sense of just how much in the way of medical support is needed in order to treat all the people who might possibly be infected before this pandemic is brought to heel also reports was that in the last few days president trump himself flew on air force one with a florida congressman who is now in quarantine because he was in contact with a person infected with the virus do we know if the president's been tested. we

don't know reporters started asking the president as he finished his remarks whether or not he himself has been tested the president did not answer any of the reporters' questions just left the briefing room and so they turned to the vice president mike pence mike pence said that he himself had not been tested and that he honestly did not know whether the president has been tested for much less whether he's a under any special medical protocol in order to protect his health because he is the u.s. president he's the vice president said that he would try to get the answer for reporters before the evening is out so far there's been no statement made or released by the white house thank you very much for that rossley in jordan live for us in washington d.c. now forces stay off the coast of california for 4 days has been allowed to dock in oakland 21 people aboard the grand princess have coronavirus a ship is carrying more than 3 and a half 1000 people and was banned from docking in san francisco because of the

last virus has infected more than $600.00 people in the us. the economic turmoil caused by the corner virus outbreak is being made by plunging oil prices and those were triggered by a dispute between saudi arabia and russia moscow refuses to join a plan by major oil producing nations aimed at cutting output and maintaining prices imad hobb is the director of research and analysis at the absent are in washington he explains the pros and cons of plunging oil prices for the trump administration share of oil today it is under pressure. prices go any further down and actually they are in really dangerous territory for terrible oil today which does not reflect poorly well on the president he has. out of jail or in the e.u. one thing my sister be exportable of this order. now why i really don't think that

the your way things are happening now are developing in the oil market is going to be regularly. for him. on the other hand you know we're cheap oil prices are good for him but really really because american consumer is looking for refuge for gas who were who were out of their cars and industries in all of this but. there is a relationship was already there will definitely get affected if. the oil prices affect the the market as it was speaking about the bill we have that may be lies that is capable of reversing saudi decisions of this nature because. these decisions affect them out of an economy and they were the economy for that matter except that therefore for one little thing that the president prevented from interested and and b.s.s. the political survival of the asleep so i don't think that he is going to really pressure him and he is not definitely going to pressure them publicly this is all
