only milan is closing down the whole world is closing down. because the moment. there was confusion at airports and train stations as some services continue to run officials are still figuring out how to implement travel restrictions residents are adjusting to life under lockdown and it was just it was in the city have to remain positive than calm and live the best way possible taking all precautions we have to adapt our lifestyles but we carry on. and you know stop and social to be honest i think this measure is too restrictive closing down the whole region of long seems like a much too strong reaction for. top league football games are continuing. in empty stadiums. queues quickly formed at supermarkets authorities have told residents not to panic by insisting supply lines will be kept open.

panic took hold in several prisons inmates rioted over new quarantine restrictions at least one died in the chaos. the number of infected persons continues to rise health authorities insist the caution is necessary no neck it's or not but there are no parts of italy that are completely immune to the virus there are parts of italy in which the virus currently circulates less but the fact that the virus circulates depends on our behavior. as italy's tourism center is empty out the world health organization has praised the government's bold and courageous steps which other countries may soon decide to follow. worldwide the number of cases from the new coronavirus has surged above 107000 for a 2nd day china has reported no new locally transmitted cases outside who bay province meaning that the number of new infections there is falling in south korea new

price of oil has now collapsed collapsed by 31.5 percent brant crude now costs only $31.00 a barrel that's the lowest price since january 1991 that's the beginning of the 1st gulf war as a reaction stock markets in asia collapsed this monday on the leading stock exchange in tokyo the nikkei index fell by over 5 percent while the hung saying in hong kong lost almost 4 percent australia's as akes also fell and particularly hard with a minus of 7.3 percent the picture on the gulf is even more dramatic markets that have said around 10 percent that are. yet not tell us tell all of this is connected to the coronavirus well it mainly started with the coronavirus affecting the chinese economy and the chinese economy going in the town if you will they move off into practically into standstill and china is the world's biggest importer of

oil so when the major custom of oil kind of stops buying your oil the prize drop and that's how the coronavirus has affected this massive price drop in oil but is there not a bright side to this gathering the drop in the price of oil could also have a positive effect on the economy could it not well it does for. producing. the producing economy if you produce cars if you produce chemicals that that helps because they need a low all prize for for their production it helps that their production of oil gets cheaper but on the other hand that the the world economy right now if you look at the world economy as a patient that has an infection coronavirus. oil is the lifeblood of the world economy and an already effected infected patient experiencing a severe drop in blood pressure if you will has effects on markets all over the

place and it's just the wrong time for this to hit and it's not over yet get out of us from day to day business thanks. russia has reported relatively few cases of the coronavirus so far fewer than 20 infections have been confirmed there authorities in moscow are telling anyone who has come back from countries with high rates of infection to self isolate but 800 kilometers from the capital and catherine borg in the ural mountains a different practice is in place there are groups of cossacks are patrolling the streets and handing out medical advice. emily sure when reports much of what they are saying is dangerously in accurate. they are willing to protect russia from any threat at all including from the coronavirus. since early february the euro cossacks have been patrolling their area. twice

a week giving out masks and checking people for signs of a cold. people recognize them by their uniforms and their recommendations on how to stay healthy are just as traditional. we mostly recommend traditional methods having honey garlic and. and keeping to basic rules of personal hygiene when people come in from the street they should wash their hands and take off their clothes. to help the government with the coronavirus because we care about the face of. the cossacks carry holy water along with them for extra protection against the virus these vigilante patrols weren't authorized by the city but in russia often support the state security forces and act as an official guardians of public order. they feel that is their historical role from the late 18th century defended the borders of the russian empire since the fall of

the soviet union identity has had a revival today the children in this community are competing to show off the basic military skills they've been learning to be a good cause they have to be prepared to serve their country. and orthodox christianity is just as important as patriotism here. the head of the community says cossacks are the spirit of russia and he believes their special status can protect them from the coronavirus to. believe that our immune system is stronger than the immune system of immigrants from asia. because caustics traditionally lived on the border of the russian empire and dug out cottages and protected russia's border. and we also get strength from the russian orthodox church. we believe that god is with us cossacks are and always

have been the warriors of christ. there have been only a few confirmed cases of the coronavirus and russia so far and despite reports of quarantine blunders and discrimination against chinese people most people believe their government has the situation under control no new press to do i think they're doing everything they can to prevent the spread of the coronavirus or at least i hope so and i do. everything is calm here i'm sure that my government is taking all necessary action so there's no need to worry but when we just need to lead a healthy life you know they will know let's visit you could also put in the a little business. to help the government the year old cossacks plan to expand their coronavirus patrols to other areas of the city of. and they hope units in other parts of russia will join their efforts as well. he was heavily sure

so this. was not the usual scenes of an international women's day macho chillies capital of santiago witnessed a polarizing transformation in a few short hours it comes as women across latin america gathered to be heard triggered by a growing outrage diag the one here because i already knew that many women were coming we are supposed to be here to celebrate international women's day but rather we are here to protest fighting for equality so they don't kill us so they don't rape us levels of violence against women in latin america are among the highest in the world. was in mexico where more than 10 women are killed on average every day person esther's made them mock on the capital. of other areas of mexico city

also saw violent clashes with protesters confronting police anti-abortion activists and men was electric and also the thing on the fact that we have the strength or the support that we can hug and gather is great but i believe that we are in a generation the disk capable of tearing tired the patriarchy i am of the doubt it but that in one of the areas protesters gathered to demand justice for women killed in femicide. hand was. the country's also in the midst of a controversial debate about legalizing abortion the president is expected to submit a bill to congress in the coming days and you will take the streets to give. visibility to the situation that we are living and we're in a critical cultural moment because of what is happening to us as women. and we are

here to take up the fight to fundamentally go out into the streets. while not over women fighting the same basho around the world they've seized the day to make their voices heard. and joining me in the studio now is claudia lozano a sociologist and latin american expert from the free university here in berlin good morning good morning touches on that why is violence against women a bigger problem in latin america than elsewhere in the world because of the impunity violence against women is not to probably a new problem in the social sciences we know about it and it happens all over the world but the problem in latin america has to do with the way the police functions the juridical system the law system the criminal law is that they are not protecting women rights to a life without violence that and they are not tricked secuity in the criminal is

that the huge problem that's what we call impunity and there are not the problems in latin america which are related to poverty women are dependent on men for living their own lives and i think that this is a man the most they get into the working american that they will have the chance to support their life by themself how important is the protest movement that we're seeing right now of course it's international women's day that brings a lot of women out on the streets but we're seeing massive protests in latin america focusing on this particular problem bonds against women from as well the women movement is a movement that has brought private problems into or i've had make them a public problem we have the problem i told you that the violence against women is nothing new professional women that are working. and it sure is equal system that i work in hospitals know about it because they've received the cases so what is

happening right now is because of the numbers we are having the magnitude of the problem is that women are talking about it in the media they are talking about they are taking the streets because they want their rights to be they are entitled and they are not waiting. for somebody to come in due to financial cost to them so they are they have taken their power and they are raising their voices to. show the people the reality of violence and that's a reality of what's happens in the family it's not just in big institutions are on the streets this is not a new problem you've been studying it for quite some time what steps in your opinion need to be taken to reduce the violence against women in latin america and elsewhere well persecuting the crude numbers showing that this is i have to doesn't accept that anymore change in the culture and that's

a big. challenge of the educational system of the formal system but also of the states and putting prevention programs that's something we have in germany it is working very well that would take people from different different institutions not just coming from the law not just in schools but also in companies because sexual abuse is something that happens all the time and we know that worldwide thanks the i me 2 movements that women feels when they are in their working place not protected that they are wrong it's to live a life without being. abused it's something that they have to protect themselves and have they have to die and right if it's doctors on earth thank you very much for talking with us this morning that was dr claudia listen a sociologist and latin american expert from berlin's free university thank. soccer news and in abundance legal leaders by and munich are 4 points clear at the

a real chance until the final seconds of the 1st half i could not breathe fed it to thomas who bounced it over the crossbar my but my leg got another shot early in the 2nd half and this time he made out sports i was 10 with a beautiful long ball and near the guy did it into the net one knew. i was bored caught by our now on the break in the 90th minute. but you could tell from the end needed less nervous reaction that this one was not going to count you be the judge offside according to the referee i and then biron struck the final blow in injury time i but to believe the photons he flipped was the young gorecki hitting the target to round out the 2 nails. at us and i
