i'm going. to go to another story that may not be mainstream but. the way that you cal the story is what can make a difference. because president donald trump announces he will suspend immigration saying he has to protect americans from coronavirus and save jobs. for joe harbor and i'm kemal santa maria this is the world news from al-jazeera for the 1st time in history u.s. oil futures have turned negative meaning some producers are actually paying customers to take stock of its has since turned positive again but investors are rattled in asian markets have seen their states falls in

a month. we'll come back later stronger and fitter than the boss of a straight the 2nd largest airline promises to reboot and stay in the sky after it collapses under the strain of corona virus. we're starting with the news that donald trump has declared he will suspend immigration into the united states through an executive order no further real detail but the u.s. president in a tweet says it is in response to the coronavirus pandemic which he refers to as the invisible enemy trump added that he has to protect american jobs in swift condemnation from some in the democratic party who accuse trump of just trying to distract people from what they describe as his faulty response to the outbreak of john hendren in chicago. the president issued this tweet in the dark of night and he seemed to do that for good reason he could have made his announcement

at his daily news conference where he talks about the coronavirus and all of the actions the administration is taking but by issuing this mysterious tweet late on a monday night he gets the morning news cycles where the newspapers 'd in the morning shows talking about what he's had to say and then in the afternoon he gets another round where he explains what his policy is and then it gets to gestate and analyzed again and the president wants to show that he's doing something the centers for disease control just a month ago in a little known action. issued an order that allowed the united states to stop people at the border who didn't have the proper papers and because of the pandemic that order allows them to send people back similarily no court hearing no chance for asylum they're sent back automatically and now the president is expanding that to include any immigration from anywhere. still early hours in the u.s.

right now so we're waiting in the next few hours so hopefully some more detail on that in the meantime for the 1st time in history u.s. oil prices went below 0 when into negative territory the futures figure has since come back around to you all is a barrel while brant crude which is the international benchmark as opposed to the u.s. one has fallen 14 percent to just under 22 dollars of our so we've got our economics editor will be talking to him shortly about what a list means what happens next also asama binge of aid is here in doha to discuss the likely impact on some gulf nations which of course dependent on oil we will talk to you gentlemen after we hear from andy gallacher. at the beginning of 2020 a barrel of u.s. crude oil cost around $60.00 then came the coronavirus pandemic forcing states toward a lot downs emptying streets closing businesses and shuttering factories across the nation demand dried up and the price fell to $18.00 on monday things took

a catastrophic turn for the 1st time in history u.s. oil went into negative territory a doomsday scenario for the entire industry president trump called the drop interesting despite the crash hitting the stock market were filling up our national petroleum reserves through dziedzic you know the strategic reserves and we're looking to put as much as $75000000.00 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out that would be 1st time in a long time it's been tapped out would get it for the right price capacity though both online and see in the united states is filling up since march stockpiles in some locations have risen by 50 percent in some places the price of fuel is now at a 10 year low demand is down there's no certainty when states will reopen and all of this comes as a severe blow to president donald trump is going to great lengths to protect the oil sector working with both russia. and opec to reduce production now the entire

global industry is in a not precedented crisis the historic deal to slash production by millions of barrels a day involved saudi arabia russia and other oil producing nations but experts say another global effort is needed we're probably down a 1000000 from our normal 10000000 barrels down to about 9 that probably needs to come down some more but all the other oil producing countries need to do the same until the economy recovers the plunging price is a driven by trading deadlines oil is traded on its future price contracts are due to expire on tuesday why is it virtually nonexistent some traders are now paying to get rid of oil instead of buying it the president says the industry will bounce back they got caught and there are a lot of people that are not too happy because they got caught so if you take a look at it you'll see it's more of a financial thing than an oil situation but because you take i believe in

a month or so and go a little bit it's a $25.00 and $28.00 or so it's largely a financial squeeze. if there is a silver lining those on the front lines of the coronavirus will pay less to fuel because a recovery in demand for oil is now dependent on oil prices that in many parts of the u.s. is far from over and to gallacher al-jazeera miami florida right so more with our economics. in the time since we've come on air the u.s. crude oil futures down to below this brant actually we're talking about down below $20.00 a barrel and this is a bigger concern isn't it because brant is the international standard. that's right kumar so the impact that's a big bt i use having gone brant is very rural now that the theory is here about the we know what's happening in the us we get technical data from the us energy

department to tell us how small national reserves are how false to teach reserves are but we don't get that kind of information from the rest of the world so what the concern is right now is is that. is there any shortages in storage spaces internationally and that's being reflected in the in the brant price right now but i can actually tell you that nymex that's the price of the w t r i is also in negative territory again this morning which is not many we're looking at. traders actually paying their buyers one pat $1.58 to take take. take a crude awake so that's a that's the latest. situation which is which is live on our air which is machines

right this very moment so we've got this situation the us where there is i lack of storage but it's as president trying to say you know what allow some of the oil to be stored away in the sea in our storage in the strategic routes though which can hold up to 750000000 barrels. in capacity and that there's a big going to encourage more oil companies to stall oil underground so that could be just one solution to this particular problem. senator in london thank you robert for that now it's on a binge of it here and give us a bit of regional perspective this part of the world. dependent on the energy markets. absolutely kemal and that that's what we've seen this morning the stock exchanges down i would be struck a teen years down the value of saudi aramco is down and this is talking about the

deputy i an index which largely impacts the u.s. markets and these these are stumbling impacts that we've seen so far in the middle east and markets and obviously as you said that this is a and essentially especially in the g.c.c. economies are tied to hydrocarbons that is the oil exports which run these countries and that is why they wanted to get very closely we've heard from reports that saudi arabia would be considering bringing up its cuts from mid to as soon as possible and that's something which came about when the saudis and the russians agreed to cutting or production and it is a really interesting time that we live in that them cutting 10 almost $10000000.00 barrels upping plus decided that it is going to wipe out and 1000000 barrels off of the oil supply chain and it didn't have an impact why because the world demanded we're not driving cars you're not getting into planes major industrial centers are closed and that's why there is not not much demand which is having

a knock on effect so that $10000000.00 barely made a dent in oil prices otherwise it would have created a major blip and now we're also seeing that there is going to be an impact on these economies on the whole not just the actual physical economy but on the political economy as well because saudi arabia and countries in the g.c.c. it do their business so to speak of based on their oil revenues based on their stature in the oil markets and pressure that they can exert and if that is taken away from them with the loss of oil revenues it is going to be very difficult for them and their governments to maintain their positions thank you osama bin. so just before we look at markets just to clarify brant crude oil that is the international benchmark now down at about $21.00 a barrel the other number i mentioned which is about $18.00 a barrel is the u.s.

benchmark but that is looking ahead to june is up it was explaining may is now clearly looking ahead to june but they're falling already to $18.00 a barrel if you can keep up with that it will keep changing all day i'm sure we want to look at european stock markets which of opened lower as well after all those price changes the stocks $600.00 which is a pan-european index fell about one percent of the start of trade the footsie in london was off 1.7 percent frankfurt dax and attack in paris were both down 2 percent it's and that was after the worst day for about a month in asia tokyo's nikkei finished almost 2 percent lower hong kong sydney seoul they were all off one percent and shanghai and singapore fell. well this price crash in the u.s. is also having a major impact further north canada is actually the largest foreign supplier of crude to the united states david mercer reports now from the heart of the canadian oil industry in alberta. where the drilling is stalled and redundancies of style

sit. around for more than 16 years glenn karat has been providing fire and safety management in the heart of canada's oil industry with 3 shops and dozens of vehicles the business owner would normally have 40 to 50 employees working at oil and gas sites around western canada but these days he's down to just 5 or 6 workers while hundreds of thousands of dollars of least equipment sits idle it's disheartening to have people sitting at home they're following me on a regular basis to find out if we're going back to work and the bills keep piling up and you know if we don't have all this equipment out work and it's cost a lot of money every day every day it's kind of this oil industry has been reeling since late 2014 when crude prices haft from around $100.00 a barrel to less than 50 that drop led to bankruptcies and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in oil and gas a vital sector in canada's economy now with more than 3000000000 people locked down in their homes because the coronavirus the demand for oil has evaporated prices for

western canadian select alberta's benchmark heavy oil have plummeted to less than $5.00 a barrel over the past few weeks if prices don't rise substantially the impact on oil workers here could be devastating opec's record cut in oil output has failed to prop up the price of crude and most canadian producers are now well below their breakeven point we have called it a perfect storm. and in many cases you know the folks that i work with. you have been through many different cycles in this industry quite frankly i've never seen anything quite like this and i don't think anyone. will quite possibly ever see anything like this again chad miller was laid off a few weeks ago and with just 30 out of 515 oil rigs in operation across the country he knows he's not alone miller hopes his facebook group oilfield dads will

help provide support for those worried about how they'll pay the rent or put food on the table it's nothing worse than hearing about someone's family member you know turning to drugs or alcohol or even suicide and that's it touches all of us because it's dear to our hearts that could be any one of us last week the canadian government announced a $1700000000.00 aid package to try to save thousands of energy sector jobs but with oil storage facilities already close to capacity and demand at historic lows the worst may be yet to come david mercer al-jazeera in central alberta canada in the news ahead we report from western kenya where the search continues for people missing off the flash floods and how volunteers are putting themselves on the front line of the virus battle in iraq.

how a welcome sign of a look at the international focus we got the usual splattering of showers across parts of southeast asia and somewhat fewer and further between than we have seen recently actually but they are that nevertheless expect to see some heat of the day down poles for many particularly into where malaysia maybe into into these a little dry there into the philippines dry here we have got a few showers and to send from northern parts of it may be pushing up towards laos cambodia is generally try to catch the odd shot just cross the gulf of thailand just around the peninsula shallots as a ship the at this time of the end in the same way the showers in the full cost of australia over the next day i'll say we've had some shabby rain moving through the southeast and cola still on the blustery side here as we go on through the next day or so you might just catch the odd sharon to tasmania but i think even here would

be too many of those to worry about for most part it is fine and dry wall want to brace but it around 31 celsius find to the path at around 25 degrees on wednesday off ne some attempt to go on into thursday by thursday much to see a little bit damp weather pushing across south australia towards that western saddle victoria was poor but for most is fine and dry and that's just. for the south island of new zealand. bigger and potentially more dangerous that's the best way to describe what's happening with the smoking alternative known as vapor i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful effects of what smoking does between 20132014 alone we start tripling in use among us high school students and head to head comparison ysaye versus conventional cigarette which one do you think is healthier my opinion i think they're both dangerous take no one else is the a myth. these

are the top stories this hour on al-jazeera president donald trump will sign or he says he will sign an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the united states because of the coronavirus also tweeted that he must protect american jobs for the 1st time in history u.s. oil futures prices of crash below 0 gone into negative territory has since come back to about $2.00 a barrel. but that price crash calls markets in asia to suffer $1.00 of their worst trading days in a month european stocks have opened low risk well the nikkei in tokyo finished almost 2 percent. the pandemic is forced to strike

a 2nd largest airline into voluntary administration after the government refused to buy without the day to day running of virgin australia has been placed in control of another company while its assets are tallied up like many airlines worldwide travel restrictions and board opposes the ground of most of virgin australia's fleet the crisis compounded preexisting debts of more than $3000000000.00. it is plain and unnecessary decision made by a board of boredom boy and on fraser to global pandemic covert 19 this is not just something that is good in australia we know it's hurting the industry globally and is the worst ideation process and i was saying that you should we're not immune to that. might a very courageous decision last not to put the company into volunteered ministration and do so quickly. well the corona virus outbreak in russia there is

only growing nearly $5700.00 new cases confirmed in the last 24 hours which pushes the total above $52.00 thousands the government says 456 people have died in russia and after falling for 2 days new cases of risen slightly in germany just under $800.00 reported on tuesday which brings the total in europe's largest economy to about 143000 the german chancellor angela merkel is also warning that another full shutdown will be inevitable if infections rise significantly again from berlin is down it came with more. for many weeks germany has been in lockdown the possibility of inadvertent infection too high to allow most every day life to go on but now in some states many shops are open once more as here in cologne on monday the 1st step by the government to test how safe it is for economic life to resume that tool is fed us shia of course it is difficult but if we now ease restrictions then we don't

know exactly what the repercussions will be and that's why we have to take it slowly and a step at a time it would be tragic if we knowingly relapsed and if we knowingly endangered these 1st successes. and perhaps because of that fear not everywhere in germany has reopened for business some states want more stringent protective measures in place before opening stores so far at least federally the government is only encouraging recommending people to wear these masks in public but certainly some parts of this country that is changing in the eastern state of saxony masks are now mandatory for people in public and the conservative heartland of the varia is about to follow suit you know what i'm asking for that as of next week we'll introduce and mouth noise mask obligation this will be in place for all public transport for all shops including those that have been open all this time we have the 1st station with

germany to do this and then there's the dilemma of how to reopen schools safely most will remain closed until early may but some have now gone back to allow teenagers to sit important end of year exams and who lives in a ghetto. of course i'm somewhat worried the more students there are in the building the more complicated it gets to stick to the framework conditions ultimately we're talking about youths here who might not always be in a position to evaluate the dangers 100 percent which sounds very much like the dilemma of minutes. it is a facing right now easing restrictions should help the economy but it could cause a 2nd wave of infections dominant came as iran. thousands of iranians have been working as part of volunteer teams to spray down and disinfect city streets try to prevent crime of arson spreading. reports on the

efforts that have brought people together. it may not look like it but this quiet suburb is a kind of battlefield and these men and women are locked in combat with an invisible enemy so when the corona virus outbreak began months ago thousands of people like them across iran volunteered to help fight the spread of covert 19 every day since they spend 5 hours spraying down public spaces with industrial sanitizer to kill the coronavirus before it can kill anyone else this is just one of dozens of teens across the city. it's harder for you 2 years citizens of tehran to to do board week in words in our power to do we have doctors we have engineers we bankers fall foliage you kid people every day there are more and more volunteers coming to us we like the proper equipment close to where we're trying

to make as much. as possible the pandemic caught world governments off guard health care providers 1st responders even militaries all stretched thin civilian volunteers have helped to fill the gaps in emergency response. iran has a reasonably robust social services sector but the scale of this outbreak has been so massive that the government has acknowledged one for. the work of 2 years has been done. to helping to fight the spread of this fire i spent a month in south korean team and then decided to get more involved before volunteering for a sanitizing team she was making the masks and medical gowns groups like these rely on support from big aid agencies and private donations but nargis worries if the crisis goes on much longer funds will dry up my father and myself and i will

personally prefer to see places remain closed a new wave of the disease could reappear when streetscape b.c. could be condon and that people on the financial pressure they have to work many a day laborers it's very sad to see so many people many of us have. covered 19 has proven itself to be a resurgent enemy living on in people and on surfaces coming back unexpectedly right here right now these volunteers are making a stand to stop it spread but they say they know until there is a definitive cure it's a battle they may have to fight on the same streets once again. the same bus ravi older 0. let's take you through some other world news kenya 1st of all where a search for 22 people who went missing during floods is now into a 3rd day 12 people have been confirmed killed off the homes shops and a market were all swept away by a landslide triggered by torrential rain and scattered reports the disasters in the

gunman others appeared to be targeted at random so far there's no indication of motive police have not yet found a note explaining the gunman's actions it's hard to imagine a more complex challenge for police with so many crime scenes and witnesses including survivors to interview many days and weeks of investigations lie ahead. canada's prime minister began his daily coded 1000 press briefing with promises of solidarity to communities hit by unexpected unspeakable violence this happened in small towns quarter peak truro milford and enfield are places where people have deep roots places where people know their neighbors and look out for one another now these communities are in mourning in canada is in mourning with calls are growing for justin trudeau government to introduce long promised legislation tightening kandice already strict gun control laws this is the worst mass shooting
