today sent oil prices crashing to levels not seen since mighty 91 trading on wall street was suspended but not today's record losses a toxic talk of economics and emotions tonight fear and a fragile economy as the corona virus spreads around the world it's the panic prelude to a pandemic i'm in berlin this is the day. of a pandemic has become very. we feel a lot of business being kept at home not being able to go out and do things. because the land is closing down the whole world is closing down but it would be the 3rd spun to me in history that could be controlled.

by the rules of the game. also coming up marching to save their own lives and those of their daughters mothers and sisters protests today in mexico one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. it's like being in a state of war where in a humanitarian crisis because of the number of missing and murdered women. viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the fear factor and the coronavirus to say that the global economy is jittery because of the corona virus outbreak well that would be stating the obvious to say that.

that see or could soon make a global economic crisis possible well that would be stating what became obvious today early today global oil prices crashed a shock that since stocks on wall street tanking a mediately after the opening bell the drop was so fast the trading was halted for 15 minutes so why did all prices collapse russia has refused to cut its production so saudi arabia tried to pressure russia by cutting its own selling price and then started a price war resulting in barrel prices not seen since 1991 demand for oil around the world has fallen and that has everything to do with the coronavirus. coming into this week as there had already been a lot of a lot of concern over the economic impact of coronavirus adding to that fear now is that the oil price shock there is going to be more and more pressure in terms of the oil prices the opec and russia these 2 major producers the cound agreed to

cut down the output in order to show up rising in that they choose to do the opposite well the russians are doing this out of a long term strategic calculation saudi. oil company iran co saw this as a signal to stop a price war yeah i think the timing couldn't be worse. when you look you've got one of the most powerful commodities in the hands of 2 of the largest super powers in the world and they are not agreeing on it and you throw that on top of a market that's full of anxiety about the potential economic global slowdown due to the virus which i don't think we've seen yet and you end up with a perfect storm that's what we have in there today. perfect storm u.s. president trump appears to have his own theory to explain today's wall street

tremors trump tweeted earlier today saudi arabia and russia are arguing over the price and flow of oil that the fake news is the reason for the market draw since becoming u.s. president trump has taken responsibility for stock price jumps on wall street trump is reportedly meeting with his economic advisers to discuss ways to halt the coronavirus fall well well today the w.h.o. said that we are dangerously close to what it calls a full blown pandemic at the same time the w.h.o. reported that at least 70 percent of all people with the virus fully recover good news but not good enough for many of the people in italy tonight $16000000.00 people in northern italy about a quarter of the country's population are under a lockdown of that includes the cities of milan and venice the move is the most drastic taken so far here in europe italy remains europe's hardest hit country in

the corona virus outbreak in the last 24 hours the number of deaths from the virus jumped from 262350. are for more now we want to get a picture of one of italy's biggest most hardest affected areas i'm joined now by journalist sylvia bacardi she is in milan good evening to you sylvia i mean this is a drastic step it's the most drastic we've seen here in europe we're talking about a quarter of the population how are the people they are where you are howard how are you coping with this current. well people are i have to say we woke up quite sad i mean it's been 2 day or 2 days already and we are scared and depressed of course but i think that people are just like trying to understand that this is the only measure that we can use to. stop and stop their

economic so we are staying at home. working from home the mayor of milan today said. we have to stay inside so there are people walking outside there are shops open but we are i mean we're trying to stay home and the more we can ok so. supposed to go until early april so how do you keep everything going i mean if you need food essential services are you are you still believe your home and go to the supermarket for example. yes we are we are of course we can go to supermarket and we know that the. orange zone this is how it's been called now is now right sony's and orange it's open for goods to pass by so supermarkets can be filled by supermarkets from the outside all. right. so i don't think we're going to have any problems in terms of like goods and food

what happens to you though if you or your driving in your core the police stop you and you say that you know you're taking a drive in the country what happens to you that. well you can't. we can move. the area but we kind of like need to keep it. as few movements as we can we cannot go out from our interests. less we have like health problems or work problems working shoes so we're trying to restrict as much as we can movement we've been that's on our side the yarn sound yeah right we understand the police the you could be fined $200.00 euros we've been told the opposition leader. but maybe he wants to walk the walk down to the entire country it's only me is that even possible what if he's been saying about them well this is something that has been discussed as we speak

so we need to we're waiting for just afrikaans our prime minister to say if this is actually something that could happen it's a possibility. it's been asking for this also for a commissioner for jails because we have been having a few problems with jails yesterday and today and also asking you to kind of call for. the. fences for now ok journalist sylvia bacardi joining us tonight from inside that walk in milan sylvia thank you very much. well it only remains hardest hit here in europe by the corona virus but more countries are dealing with their own outbreaks spain has just announced that it is closing all schools and universities in the madrid area and right here in germany

up to 5000 people have been told to self quarantine in the town of noise that's about an hour's train ride from the capital berlin teachers at the local high school we understand came in contact with a woman from berlin who tested positive for the corona virus the corona virus outbreak it is having as we said an especially strong impact on schools at least 13 countries have closed all schools and 9 others have implemented local shutdowns of the aim here is to prevent transmission between students and parents one important side effect here the education of about 290000000 students around the world is being disrupted in japan nearly all schools have been closed since the beginning of this month the government's decision was a controversial one because closures have added to the burden on working parents who now have to make daycare arrangements for their children.

6 year old leo if she is learning to play the piano his 49 year old father is trying to concentrate welcome to working life during a school shop. but he put them up to it's not just me or moses several of my colleagues are also concerned about how to look after their children. well the whole it's good my company allows work from home but at 1st i didn't know how to look after my son all day i was all over the place. it's easy to see how desperate strain even the strongest of potential bonnes it's a dilemma shared by millions of working parents across japan how to entertain their energetic offspring on a working day. i'm concerned about the impact on my

son's daily life. nor. recruitment consultant and mother of 2 my yumi has found a more peaceful way to cope are companies offering employees a chance to use spare rooms as classrooms the flexible set up to focus on her own tasks while checking homework and it's alleviated her initial fears about the school closures. he said to myself no that's not possible was this really going to happen in my town what's going to happen to us and i was full of concerns. given the measures are intended to stop children spreading the virus such policies may come to. soar to the decision of daycare centers like this one in tokyo to extend its opening hours staff insist children are kept apart and their temperatures measured on arrival but that's of limited help in combating

a virus that can be spread when carriers don't have symptoms. he do need to get the message the take s. and to helps me a lot. my company has suddenly asked only employees to work from home and i'm not used to that. but the daycare center called us and said that what i can from morning. is cut pretty much a huge help for struggling parents public health officials see it could undermine national efforts to contain the virus. will still to come on the day in the hague the trial has begun in the crash of flight m.h. 17 over ukraine $298.00 lives were lost in the crash will justice ever be served the public plus he just showed that there is a trial and i do hope the judge had so many evidence on his stable that he can't go until the one to pollution guilty.

sunday marked international women's day but for many women in latin america the most pressing issue is one of survival that's because femicide murders targeting women and girls is on the rise across the region and the numbers are not good figures from 2018 show that brazil has the highest number of famous sides it's over 1200 it's followed by mexico argentina and honduras now if you look at the rate of killings poor 100000 women you see that the crisis is worse as you get closer right there to central america the worst being of course and the el salvador activists in mexico say that it's one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women because male killers are rarely punished every day 10 women are murdered in mexico and our next report your hear from a mother whose 17 year old daughter was murdered by a man a man in their fam. i there singing for those

who are no longer here these mothers are demonstrating for their daughters all of whom were murdered like karen whose life and it violently at only 17. earlier we met secretary sent a muscle in her home and her life there's nothing left besides grief. given she showed me how to love life even though my husband left as i had to leave her at home alone often because of my job she was scared of being in the high saloon but she had to be brave. because of the nikki another volunteer. karen was assaulted at home a jacket was wrapped around her head she was gagged with ropes beaten raped and drowned in a bucket of water one perpetrator her cousin has been arrested but investigators have ignored evidence that he wasn't alone but going on isn't it is they don't care for them it's normal that women are killed it's just something that happens one more

one less us women in this city it got to pick is also called the human garbage dump on average one woman is murdered here every day often their bodies are found cut into pieces and stuffed in garbage bags even if they murder women here because they can it happens in poor communities where there is no law enforcement that's why the machismo and the hate of women is getting stronger because there is no punishment that's. a new wave of protests has taken hold in mexico the mounting anger is sparking riots as the number of women murdered continues to rise throughout the country 10 per day and that's just the official number. the government needs to act investigate what's happening and reach out to communities that secondly centers among those raising their voices so that something is finally done if not for her own daughter at least for the women who are still alive. yeah disturbing scenes there joining me now from mexico city is journalist in india

maybe it's good to have you on the show we just heard a shocking story there of a young woman who was brutally murdered by a family member can you explain to us how has mexico become such a dangerous place for women absolutely it's a horrible case and unfortunately now every year we have we are hearing these kinds of very gruesome tales from all over the country and in actuality this has been an issue in may he go for decades going back to the 1990 s. and see that white is in northern mexico now or hearing cases and at the back which is in central may he go and it's an issue in the south as well so i think now we're really understanding how it played in the entire country and it's one thing to say that women are being killed being murdered but it is seems that insists to stick showed that these murders are particularly brutal and vicious why is that.

now so femicide have the killing of a woman for her gender for being a woman is a crime and will he go in 13 states to it's criminalized as a crime but the characteristics of femicide involve rape sexual torture domestic violence and so gender violence or sort of sexualized violence is absolutely central to to this island in a country that's very much east are. very traditional very catholic so it is safe to say that goes hand in and sort of the way women are brutalized the way not only is she murdered but she is raped there's a recent case in february the case of you know if she was 25 and this is one of the 2 cases that sparked enormous protests in february but she was skin and disempowered so it's very very brutal but unfortunately it's very common we hear these cases a lot yeah and we know that you know there were protests today

a day without women is the theme of these protests i'm just still trying to understand what is it there were about a society or a culture in which women are disrespected to a point that they can be so brutally murdered is it something that you see in this public sphere in mexico maybe that you would see in other countries. yeah so you're right today the national women strike there are 22000000 women in the workforce so the idea today is to sort of hit the mexican economy very very hard. that's an interesting question because i think a lot of. these cases the feminine side you often find women in public face right so a lot of the women who are abandoned left and are murdered you find them in rows and see a lot this is been the case back to why they. see the whitest so women are brutalized very publicly and they're left in public spaces another case back in 2017

a woman found murdered in a campus which is the biggest national public university in that america and also the most when they were she was left for dead in their 600 mark but the space invaders women in that way aren't sure it was the about to use to joining us tonight from mexico city video we appreciate your insights and i thank you. ok so much. of the trial has begun in the hague of charged in connection with the 2014 airlines flight m h 17 over eastern ukraine 3 russians and a ukrainian national are believed to be at large in russia or in separatist controlled eastern ukraine and they will be tried in absentia all $200.00 among the passengers and crew on board the plane died in the crash which international investigators say was caused by a russian made surface to air missile. victims' families arrive at the courthouse the trial is being held next to schiphol airport flight m.h.

seventeen's point of departure 6 years ago it's been a long wait. nobody had expected there will be a trial. but today we have shown to the public. that there is. enough evidence to make any judgments and i do hope the judge had so many evidence on this table that the. guilty. the 4 men 3 russians and one ukrainian who had been charged with the murder will be absent from the trial russia does not extradite its citizens it's alleged that they organized the missile launch that brought the plane down the case is being followed closely by countries around the world who lost citizens in that crash. tragically 298 people lost their lives with the downing of the train including 3.

people who called a strike. bringing the alleged perpetrators to justice through an open and independent judicial process seems a powerful message. but russia has refused to cooperate with the investigation according to an international team. that carried out a painstaking reconstruction of the aircraft the plane was hit by a russian made surface to air missile brought in from the russian territory and launched from eastern ukraine despite this evidence russia has continued to deny involvement well for more now i'm joined by nick connelly he joins us from kiev good evening to you nick how closely is this trial being followed there where you are in ukraine. that's the sort of thing brant i'm standing about 600 kilometers away from where those 298 people lost their lives in july 24th teen

and the beginning of this court case is not even the number one or even the number 2 story here in ukraine today it's extraordinary disconnect especially if you remember what huge story that was back in 2014 with families from australia to the netherlands malaysia to see where the plane was from but i think this has several reasons on the one hand they were no ukrainian victims the area where this plane came down was then as now controlled by those production separatists there's no access to the ukrainian government but most crucially this came at a high point of the conflict between the ukrainian government based here in kiev and those production separatists that claimed more than 13000 lives so this for ukrainians is just a chapter in a much bigger story of a war that still hasn't finished for the netherlands this is a national catastrophe when you talk to people everyone seems to know someone who knows someone personally who was affected by this crash but here in ukraine it's a smaller part of a bigger picture and as such feel strangely remote from where we are here yeah it's very unusual that that is the case what about the suspects why are they still at

large. well that's the extraordinary thing we've had this unbelievably exhaustive determined effort to bring together all the evidence and that basically has all come to not very much given the fact that russia refuses to extract these people i think this is more about giving the families some kind of closure and bringing together all these tiny different bits of evidence to get some kind of clarity about what exactly happened in july 24th jeanne but this is also a story of missed opportunities there was one witness that the dutch prosecutors were very keen to talk to. someone who was actually kidnapped out of separatist held territory by ukrainian special forces with a view to handing them over to investigators just last summer but then the big prisoner exchange happened between russia and ukraine and president he wasn't willing to endangered that for the sake of this investigation so life moves on in ukraine ukraine's desire to somehow bring some closure to this conflict over way

that is to support this investigation and speaking of the investigation we've reported numerous times about how difficult it has been to get that investigation going politics and security concerns they have really increased the difficulty of piecing the evidence in this case together haven't. exactly brant i've spent a lot of time talking to dr ports for whom this is really their bread and butter when they come to ukraine they report about m.h. 17 however many years have passed and all of them are convinced that especially the u.s. and generally western intelligence services have more information and have the kind of cost and proof from said spy satellites and other kinds of intelligence to prove where these missiles came from and how the plane was brought down they say the u.s. in particular they suspect is not willing to release that information to make it public because that might compromise those intelligence sources those satellites if they became public so the investigation is being forced to go through separatists

social media presence is to interview thousands of people in an attempt to get some sort of evidence that is obviously never going to be as cautious on a strong as what presumably is there in some kind of agency archives but that is not being released not some secret frustration for the families who seeing the court case start today can be pretty sure the at thing stands those people those accused will never see the inside. a prison cell that must be seen very very heartbreaking for the relatives and the families of those people who died the economy on the story for us tonight in nic is always thank you. well today's almost all the conversation continues online you can follow few of you news will follow me if we're got t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag the day every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day see that.
