percent at the end of trading its biggest one day loss for 2 years and crushing oil prices on monday has also contributed to the sell off the price of a barrel fell by an enormous 31 percent during early monday trading after saudi arabia increased production in a bid to pressure russia into closer coordination on prices that dispute itself coming as oil demand weakens due to the coronavirus. b.w. financial correspondent chelsea delaney joins us from the front germany's financial capital welcome however saw the markets. i think we've really moved beyond being nervous to really being in a state of panic markets have really had a very dramatic moves today a lot of stocks including stocks and middle eastern indexes saudi aramco saudi arabia's state owned oil company and u.s.
2:03 pm
futures all had to be halted because they were just too volatile to be trading right now so there's really a lot of a lot of panic and there's a lot of fear. coming into this week there had already been a lot of a lot of concern over the economic impact of coronavirus those concerns have really battered stocks over the past 2 weeks but. adding to that fear now is that the oil price shock of 30 percent decline in oil prices is really. historic event and that's going to add pressure on to the global economy. which sounds like bad news for the globe because. yeah i think i think there's very little good news for the global economy right now i think 1st and foremost coronavirus remains. the driving concern for the global economy just considering how how far and how wide the spread of the virus is that this point and how dramatic and painful the
2:04 pm
measures that governments and public health authorities are having to take to contain the virus that's really destructive entire global economy travel trade consumer spending all are getting hit really hard right now so that's already putting a lot of pressure on global economic growth and particularly countries where there are the on the verge of recession like italy germany japan but this oil price decline is also going to have a negative and parked on the global economy and a lot of times lower oil prices can benefit consumers that can benefit companies like airlines that use a lot of oil but there's just no demand right now because the. coronavirus production disruptions and the negative impact is really significant for oil export hours like saudi arabia are russia but also for european countries that have really a large oil oil sector is a slow. to show civilian in frankfurt setting here. well the number of corona cases

it is of milan and venice italy has the most infections outside to china recent figures show $7375.00 confirmed cases and $366.00 deaths tourists have been told to leave affected regions immediately and for residents daily life will be severely restricted for nearly a month. roadblocks like these could become a familiar sight across northern israeli travellers are asked to explain why they're leaving the so-called red zones authorities say only those with serious reasons as well as workers will be allowed to pass. in milan's normally bustling center only a fraction of the usual crowds leaving traders worried about their livelihoods. the numpty all day and haven't served a single meal today in the restaurant. so looking at this moment there's an economic impact everywhere the galleries and the whole center i think that not only
2:07 pm
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 that it was indeed he said he had to remain positive than calm and live the best way possible taking all precautions we have to adapt our lifestyles but we carry on. israel's up and social to be honest i think this measure is too restrictive closing down the whole region the flaw in the data seems like a much too strong reaction. 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.
2:08 pm
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. 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 her behavior depended on it i mean. as italy's tourism centers empty out the world health organization has praised the government's bold and courageous steps which other countries may soon decide to follow. let's hear from. the finance journalist. joins us from last year. well thanks for having me so this is a new thing it kicked into yesterday and today so we're just in but we're already

seeing major changes in the way social life works so yesterday there were people on the streets today streets are almost completely empty even people like having coffee or eating at a bar they keep a distance of one me to be between one another. you know some a call mother more answers think oh you know all people living by themselves. but everybody across across the whole population is isn't just staying in and adopting the new measures so we're not shaking hands we have been asked to not go outs and our long queues of supermarkets because we're asked to keep a distance as it has got really long. until it's more about bebe impact on business has there and about the government's efforts to alleviate it well it has it's obviously that series of industry the hardass hotels some hotels report being up to $9095.00 cent empty so it's huge economic loss their restaurants here
2:10 pm
it's guards told me some serious guards told me that they've got 2 weeks and then they don't know where they'll find their money by even a process shops retail as it's hitting quite quite hard to get and some people are able to sell stuff online bought the other shops or reports and yeah obviously a huge loss of profits to governments while the duke is not gets yet sorry the government says that what it's doing is not yet. no yet we don't exactly know what the government will be doing yet that's ok but in parliament they have announced that measures well we're expecting measures to be announced any time now they're talking about creating deads up to 7 point close 1000000 a year is i think so tops breaks for the west affected businesses incentives we're talking about businesses lost about 25 percent of their revenues. so that's the
2:11 pm
kind of measure but we don't have any more detail about the moments in this this deadly prison riots what do you know about that. so this is something that broke out between yesterday evening and today broke out today at the main prison in milan . it has to do with the current restrictions of prisoners in mates not happy about not being able to see their families about the united locked down in a potentially very dangerous situation so. you talk to media reports that 6 people have lost their life is in modern out south of milan. in milan inmates when the top of the roof and sort of chanting freedom freedom. and most riots have been brought in under control of both in. italian media reporting that 20 people managed to broke out of jail and the authorities now hunting for them. to talk into facts for joining us alessio. thank you.

2:14 pm
there is no way out of it. who's going to stumble over joined v.w. correspondent to a u.-haul welcome you live and the president is due to meet today with commission president sort of on the line the total president shall we show what does he want. what turkish prison edwin says he wants some more support from the international community from the europeans when it comes to refugees and migrants turkey already hosts nearly 4000000 refugees most of them from syria and government officials here have been complaining about what they describe as unfair sharing let's remember unger and brussels struck a deal in 2016 under which turkey was supposed to stem the flow of migrants to europe in exchange for money and political concessions now ancora says the e.u. has failed to honor its promises so add on now once a better deal what he also wants is european support in syria where his troops are
2:15 pm
fighting alongside rebels again against a russian backed syrian regime forces he fears another large scale refugee influx from it live where hundreds of thousands of people have already fled to areas near the turkish border and now the crisis in egypt and that's what many analysts say is something the european union has ignored far too long now europe no arab one has forced them to pay attention by opening his borders to the european union for asylum seekers how questionable that might be so what sort of conditions. the greek border facing. well starting * 11 days ago tens of thousands of people have moved to the greek border hoping to cross into the european union it's been 11 days in the cold with
2:16 pm
a plastic tanned as most people are relying on food aid that it's been particularly tough for families with small children we've also seen a violent scenes playing out there there have been many exchanges of tear gas and stones between great border guards and my car and so there are also reports that turkish police has fired tear gas to add greek border police now and africans are trading the blame for a number of human rights violations there the border this is all happening while people there are desperate while their hopes for a different for a better life have once again been crushed by the reality of politics. one president at one says you won't help support from the e.u. what does he want does he want troops does he want money would you want. well i think he wants money but he also wants the europeans to act in syria he has been
2:17 pm
calling for a no fly zone there for something like a safe zone for hundreds of thousands of people so he's certainly also trying to get something that the big question is what will he get by the end of the day the europeans the european union has accused of trying to blackmail the block so there is a lot to talk about today. thank you. the trial has begun in the hague a 4 man charged in connection with the 2014 downing of malaysia airlines flight m h 17 of eastern ukraine 3 russians on the ukrainian national are believed to be at large in russia separatist controlled eastern ukraine and will be tried in the absence of old so $198.00 passengers and crew on board a dyed in the cross which investigators international investigators say was caused by a russian made surface to air missile. the wreckage area spanned several kilometers
2:18 pm
nearly 300 lives were lost here when malaysia airlines flight m.h. 17 suddenly fell from the sky. the plane took off from amsterdam on july 17th 2014 on route to kuala lumpur its flight path took it over eastern ukraine where it was shot down near the town of rav of a an international team carried out painstaking investigations experts spent over a year reconstructing the aircraft from countless pieces of debris collected at the crash site. they found that the plane was hit by a russian made book surface to air missile brought in from russian territory and launched from eastern ukraine. russia has always denied any involvement.
2:19 pm
in june of last year investigators named 4 men accused of organizing the missile launch the suspects 3 russians and a ukrainian all have links to russian separatists in eastern ukraine say they're being charged with murder rules and need shelling. even if they themselves didn't push the button we suspect that they work together to organize the missile and bring it to the location where the plane was shot down. and. the trial of the dutch court is likely to take years as neither russia or ukraine extradite their citizens the men will be tried in absentia. straight to ukraine joined e w correspondent nick conley in care welcome nick how closely is this trial being followed that. well strange enough not very closely that's the extraordinary thing about this i'm standing here in downtown here about 600 kilometers from where those
2:20 pm
just short of 300 people lost their lives in july 24th teen and it seems a really really long way away i think that you have to remember this was such a huge story back in 2014 with families from the netherlands to australia and malaysia all really asking how this could happen claims counter claims being made but this happened at the high point of ukraine's conflict it continues with those russian backed separatists in the east a conflict that's claimed over 13000 lives so really that came against a much bigger story here that still continues here in ukraine and there were no ukrainian victims in this and one thing that also remains the same piece the area where the plane came down then is now is under separatists control so in a way there's a very strange disconnect here between the place where these people lost their lives and this huge global story and hundreds of families still trying to get to the bottom of this and the suspects nick while they still at large. so as we heard in the report most of the russian citizens or ukrainians that since
2:21 pm
currently believed to be in separate sole territory so for all this extraordinary many years effort to really piece together the truth it basically fails at russia's refusal to engage to play ball russia says they're not going to hand them over and that's the end of it there has been have been a string of kind of missed opportunities lost some of the ukrainian special forces someone who was believed to be involved in the release of in the firing of that missile gets the malaysian airlines plane he was brought to kiev and the dutch investigators were very interested in seeing him and bring him in as a witness but he was handed back to the separatists as part of a bigger ukrainian russian prisoner exchange much to the disappointment of those that investigated so missed opportunities and just the flat out refusal of the russian authorities to engage in this investigation politics and security concerns do seem to have increased the difficulty of placing the evidence together. when you talk to reporters who this is really become kind of their bread and butter of these last few years and this is
2:22 pm
a national catastrophe in the netherlands everyone seems to know someone who knows someone and you talk to them and they you know they've been spending the last few years going to breaking their heads trying to work out what has happened they are all convinced that western intelligence and most likely the u.s. intelligence services have satellite evidence proving from start to finish how this all happens they're convinced that this kind of evidence was made made an unofficial available to the dutch government but those same west intelligence authorities are not willing to put make this information public to make it possible to quote because that would compromise their intelligence capacity so this really has been an extraordinary effort over many years to piece together the effort from social media seeing where separatist troops were in the end i think it might be able to bring some of the families some somewhat close to the truth but they're not really as it stands going to see any of these accused facing justice in person. calling here found here. sunday marks international women's day with a focus on equality but for many women in latin america the most pressing issue is
