a part of our. documentary. dream job or no. is beat up the news live from berlin the coronavirus false action to boost the price of oil the pandemic had reduced him on to day 2 of a drop in income for the oil producers now they've overcome disagreements and coordinating news to push the price also on the show. helping those least able to help themselves in argentina the country has been pitched twice by
9:01 am
a recession back on us. and how much of an impact will the current to last pandemic have on society underway but we take a look at what happened all to the spanish flu outbreak than 100 years ago. hello i'm christine want to welcome to the program oil prices have risen off to the world's major producing countries upgrades to what's been called the biggest oil production catch ever the production cost opaque joins russia and others in an effort to boost the oil price and energy markets ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic global oil supplies will be cut by 10 percent. opec plus which brings together the oil cartel with other producers like russia said it would reduce world output by 10 percent. within 2 months opec and opec plus
9:02 am
countries will reduce production by $10000000.00 barrels us for the next 6 months they will contradiction by it 1000000 barrels per day and for the 16 months after that begins 6000000 barrels will be cut per day. oil prices had gone into freefall on worries about the virus and a price war between saudi arabia and russia but low prices threaten the u.s. shale oil industry. president donald trump welcomed the deal calling it a great deal for all. but with times filling up around the world energy hungry industries shut down many analysts are warning the agreement may do little to stabilize the oil market. at all from a business department is at the table with me awful what does this deal mean for the worldwide economy well christine the 1st thing that it means really is it's a little bit of rest buy it and it's a little bit of stability for the hopefully the oil price and for the energy sector there remains to be seen exactly how markets are going to react we've had some
9:03 am
initial reaction this morning seemingly quite positive in that some some minor reduction increases in the oil price of 5 percent 6 percent bush in the longer term it's just to a great degree of uncertainty as to how much investors are going to embrace this whether the courts are sustainable and whether it will be enough to compensate for the massive loss and reduction in overall demand in the world economy for oil so it's rest but for the sector but uncertain yet we need to wait a little bit longer to see if there's any longer impact of this deal looks very difficult until recently what changed well it seems to be that the big thing that changed is the intervention of the u.s. political system basically donald trump and also u.s. senators so ordinarily saudi arabia and russia essentially carve up the global oil market in terms of the price they generate control it through opec and opec plus russia isn't going to remember but it's been a lot of pressure in recent days from trump and u.s. senators and indeed those reports over the weekend of a number of u.s. senators directly contacting the saudi energy minister talking about changing the
9:04 am
longer term relationship between washington and riyadh unless saudi agreed to what the central u.s. wanted so that would explain a lot of donald trump's happiness at the deal because it seems to underline his influence in terms of getting struck other households one of the world would have benefited from the recent oil prices does this deal change that is bad news for the consumer well it's i would say it's christine it's not quite as simple as that in more stable times when when the global economy is not going to. with the kind of existential crisis we're just going through at the moment rick over 19 in the pandemic that might be generally seen as a good thing of course lower oil prices has an impact across the economy and it generally helps consumers but what's not good for consumers and what's not good for business in general is when the entire energy sector as a whole is threatened to the extent which a turkey 5 percent drop in demand which is what we're experience at the moment is affecting it that could lead potentially if things continue to advance to the requirement for government bailouts of large state oil companies it could lead to chaos across the energy sector many many thousands in fact hundreds of thousands of
9:05 am
jobs a risk so no is the simple answer to that question is it is is not really a case where it's simply a good thing for consumers in the price the price is low what you need to stability 1st and foremost right the latest developments on the crown of ice china has reported $180.00 new cases of coronavirus most of them imported japan's prime minister shinzo abbes stay at home message has drawn angry reactions on social networks the lockdown at liberia's capital monrovia got off to a chaotic start of the weekend as some police offices used best sins against residents in germany and opinion poll has found that a clear majority want the coronavirus restrictions retained or even tightened off the current state which is next sunday. now in argentina they've got just over 2000 confirmed cases off the crown of rice corn rice excuse me and like most countries around the world it's and and but argentina was in recession before the pandemic
9:06 am
strikes the restrictions have dealt a big blow to an already an economy we're ready in recession now the play has been hit the hardest but in the poorest neighborhoods of the capital one is our people coming together to help each other. in the poor settlements around buenos aires soup kitchens are popping up everywhere it's russian style so young for those in this district who lost their jobs even overnight. i'm not currently working so i don't receive a salary if you work on the side paid in cash like me you won't earn a center right now. and i tell you can't work as a cleaner because of a strict curfew that's why neighborhood cooperatives are delivering food to families in need. volunteers cook for hundreds of their neighbors financed by city grants and by donations especially for the poorest of them. out of the little
9:07 am
children were cooking for the garbage collectors who weren't allowed to go out on the streets. and so they can't collect and recycle garbage. we're now delivering lunch to them i don't know who lives. with every additional day of lockdown more argentinians are dependent on community help the lines outside the soup kitchens are getting longer the corona crisis exacerbates the social crisis is that it's a big about the new and these volunteers they take care of us homos. we get food at least 3 times a week. even before the lockdown argentina was on the verge of national bankruptcy . president alberto fernandez was trying to renegotiate the repayment of massive debt then came the pandemic now it's unclear how argentina will be able to repay the $1000000000.00 debt and how the country will steer clear of that much feared
9:08 am
national bankruptcy the homeless are fending for themselves as they did before corona. during the lockdown they have no place to which they can retreat and donations are scarce. look we've always lived in fear and hunger corona is secondary to us. argentina's retirees are also part of the corona high risk group but many of them have to line up together to collect their pension money. i haven't received money in a month i don't know how far in debt i am and i have to pick up my pension in person. argentina and its people are facing even more difficult times the coronavirus state of emergency is far from over. time to take a look at other news around the world strong storms pounded the southern united

virus and isolated for 2 weeks. now a century of deadly flu swept the world with devastating consequences that changed the way people lived today the coronavirus is also likely to leave a social and cultural impact already terms like social distancing itself isolation have become part of everyday language but what changes can we expect to last while history may offer a clue if habits like the handshake are to become a thing of legend. a deadly pandemic descended on the world after the 1st world war as if people hadn't suffered enough already the virus known as the spanish flu blew across the globe 100 years ago hitting middle aged people hardest you know dozen different political figures about one 3rd of the german population was sick and to some degree. in all of europe to a point 3000000 people died in front because if it was one dreamed one and worldwide at least 25000000 it's 101 sick mean distance range but possibly 50000000

or double even that would go to be to feel. doctors had little at their disposal to fight the virus no ventilators no antibiotics the only thing that helped was keeping people apart from each other. 'd shows that the most important step in stopping the spread of the pathogen is separating people by shutting down every day life and interactions. pandemics. and educational the spanish flu showed that quarantines actually helped after the 1st world war and the spanish flu the economy started looking up the history of epidemics shows that they lead to advances and innovations. another example the plague it killed millions of people in the middle ages yet later had extraordinary economic and societal effects.

times like these knowing where to get help where to get tested or perhaps just locating your nearest hand-washing station is vital information data can help and kenyan crowdsourcing take knowledge of it has in the past been used to collect data for disaster relief elections and crisis responses now organizations all over the world are using the platform to navigate the current crisis. in data and information that's job he's the project coordinator at. an organization that has been marking the this for the past 10 years with the corona virus outbreak has shifted the focus from his digital maps now he's documenting handwashing stations clinics and aid efforts we have like some of the washing board could be like this one it's on their mop but we also have a platform where we set it. we have our thoughts. about how so many could beat up people we say. we also. facebook they do like to get on with
9:13 am
well we have huge number of beat up people. joshua and this team have also started documenting all corona cases confirmed by the kenyan ministry of health. if heat information into digital maps on the open source platform a shady the platform allows users to create their own topical maps and add information to geographical points from happy very happy collecting data like this one here i mean the ships around the world are now using the show you the technology to collect data about corona related responses and problems in that part of the world. to show he website shows it's being used in europe asia the us and latin america and italy for instance an initiative maps are places to get food and medical supplies and in japan users are reporting the corona testing experiences. so in the last 3 weeks you see more than 300. 82 platforms and it's been
9:14 am
used across the us i think one thing that's come up yet is that for us to be able to deal with this crisis we're going to have to rely on you know people collective responsibility right you know people are being asked to stay in the cup that also a lot of informational got started just out that people on the ground who are experiencing some of these issues will be able to bring to light and involve people who can then jump in and and support while the kenyan technology is making its way around the world the hope is that the data will also help governments and international organizations and responding to the crisis. rio de janeiro is known for the strike in christ the redeemer statue that looms over the city on easter sunday that statues and a special message images are projected onto the statue showing christ as adults who leave you with pictures of the city's thank you to health care with his new frisbee and i use to help fight the corner as. the air.

always the same core do social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press and corruption who can afford to stay silent when it comes to the fans the humans and see the microphones who have decided to put their trust in us. my name is jenny paris and i work a d.w.i. . they spread fear and terror among people though they'd rather hide from them but that's becoming increasingly difficult in a time metropolis of bangkok. the city is booming natural habitats for snakes are disappearing. from taiwan cam is a firefighter he hasn't put out any fines for months instead he's out catching
9:17 am
snakes everything from harmless garden snakes to poisonous fibers. have all right we'll send someone out keep an eye on the snake until we get there. at the. end of this long long and it's on taiwan comes 1st mission on this sunday morning rainy season has begun in thailand and that means snake season has as well . snake catchers almost always work in pants because they never know what to expect attempting to catch one of the larger reptiles war alone would be too dangerous cam and his colleagues set off with 2 vehicles or they would be working
9:18 am
in the. bangkok's maze of streets makes it difficult for some taiwan cam to find the address given by the court. below looking for missing 114 this is key to 14 right there where is mr one now this is a side street. and i. am and it's been more than 20 minutes since the call came in and the snake catchers have to turn around. after another 5 minutes the firefighters finally arrive at the right play. case the caller is waiting impatiently in front of his house. armed with the 2 men enter the property the snake has already become to retreat.
9:19 am
sensing the danger the snake has fled to the roof of an adjacent building. call us when it comes down to go ok ok bye. laura whitman reach the snake at that height. by that. maybe we could have caught it if we derived earlier. in the address wasn't clear so unfortunately it took a little longer. walks and now. they return to the station even if it didn't work out this morning so in taiwan come has already caught dozens of snakes he can't exactly say how many he also doesn't know how many are in the cages stacked up behind the station and that's the result of less than 2 weeks' work. when he began training to become
9:20 am
a firefighter one can never imagine what it end up doing. who are getting the fact that i'd also have to catch snakes made me nervous. but i learned a lot very quickly like which snakes are poisonous and which aren't i realize that they're not that scary. the next call comes in the woman on the phone is unable to give accurate details about the snake and. fortunately this is not unusual explains the head of the fire station. it would help us if the callers could describe the snake tell us what it looks like or even better what kind of snake it is. most of them are obviously in panic thinking only help there's
9:21 am
a snake a snake in my house. it doesn't take some time and his colleague has long to find the right address this time. the lady of the house is relieved that helpers arrived. first we have to find out exactly where the snake is hiding. we have to see it with our own eyes so that we know whether it's poisonous or not the housekeeper says she saw the snake here between these flower pots. describe the snake what color is it. got it call up when i went into the garden along the side of the house suddenly the snake snapped at me. luckily it missed my foot but only by
9:22 am
a few centimeters so. some taiwan chum knows that snakes like to look for drying sports like this one especially during rainy season anyone who needs junk in the garden shouldn't be surprised if they suddenly find an unwanted gassed. take everything apart bit by bit. anyway. i. can. take a look at that. after a brief discussion the man made.
9:23 am
that you have. no thank you. this is the so-called rat snake it's about a meter learn. how it may not be poisonous should be handled with care. if it does bite you should always have the untreated type that has a very sharp. rats snakes are especially agile and quite aggressive the firefighters have to use the extreme cannot to get better. ok good that our tina
9:24 am
every catch is different but that this one was fairly easy we knew whereabouts where the snake was hiding it also wasn't very big and a lot of the time we have to deal with pythons you know that's a different caliber altogether for those we sometimes call in reinforcements to firefighters aren't enough. but i like. many people. before they get back to the station the next emergency call comes in an uninvited visitor in the bedroom they better hurry. when. it's important to know the city shortcuts so you don't waste too much time in traffic jams we have to hurry all the time because there's always somebody waiting for help somewhere.
9:25 am
where do they see the snake. not just make a monitor lizard. ok so this time we're not catching a snake but a giant lizard let's go monitor lizards can grow up to 3 metres long they like to break into hen houses in catch young birds or eggs but the specimen hiding in the bedroom isn't that big apparently at least that's what the inhabitants of the house and. let's go have a look at one of the back. ok where could appear. maybe under the sofa. already looked up there on the carpet. and i looked behind the air conditioner.
9:26 am
well you know we've looked everywhere here no success unfortunately. this. one for one. but. we cannot fly anything. after returning to the fire station so lets the rat snake out of the back but the new home isn't much better. the cage hasn't been emptied for 14 days out in the wild most snakes can go without food for weeks so they aren't fed here every once in a while the nature conservation agency picks the snow example and sets them free in national parks. a few of the poisonous snakes are brought to this place bangkok's snake farm it's
9:27 am
home to about 50 different species on the farm is very popular. locals as well as tourists one reason for that is the daily snake handling demonstration. that you. might call. research on anti serums to save lives for example is also conducted here at the snake farm. that. one. song tries to reassure us if you behave properly snakes are harmless he says they're also useful in keeping down the mouse or rat populations or other pests. but i thought i would like to make sure people are aware of the following it's
9:28 am
completely normal to see snakes during the rainy season they're very afraid of us humans if you don't want snakes in your garden or house you just have to make sure you don't offer the snakes any place to hide. or what will clear out your sheds or yards and you won't have a problem. without. soon he's off again to the next emergency not a fire button up a snake cold. country on the road. if they're attacked they fight back. and it seems a rather unfair fight plants against damage or other dangerous. lands so remarkably well. i'll do they do it. to morrow to
