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 oil 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 our business department is at the table with me off of what is 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 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
10:03 am
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 it has any longer impact this deal that's 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 generally control it through opec and opec plus russia as i'm 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 longer term relationship between washington and riyadh unless saudi agreed to what the sanctions 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 it struck other households well into the world would have been. they said from the recent oil prices does this deal change that is bad
10:04 am
news for the consumer well i would say christine it's not quite as simple as that in more stable times when when the global economy is not going through the kind of existential crisis we're just going through at the moment recovered one day 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 to 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 or companies that could lead to chaos across the energy sector many many thousands in fact hundreds of thousands of jobs a risk so no is the simple answer is that i question it is it is it is not really a case where it's simply a good thing for consumers in the price prices low what you need to stability 1st and foremost. the latest developments on the coronavirus china has reported 180

new cases of great advice most of them imported south korea is safe to say and 600000 coronavirus testing kits to the united states following a request from u.s. president donald trump the lockdown in liberia's capital monrovia to the chaotic start of the weekend as some police officers used battens against race that ends in germany an opinion poll has that a clear majority one the coronavirus restrictions retain the even tightened after the current date which is next sunday. now in argentina they've got just over 2000 confirmed cases off the corner of iris and like most countries around the well of it and the lock down but it was in recession before the pandemic struck so the restrictions have. you know the play has been hit the hardest but in the poorest neighborhoods of the capital's our people all 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. some official no 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. no 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. the enough to work cooking for the garbage collectors who weren't allowed to go out on the streets. and so they can't collect and recycle garbage. or now delivering lunch to them. with every additional day

blew across the globe 100 years ago hitting middle aged people hardest you know because the groom about one 3rd of the german population was sick and to some degree. in all of europe 2300000 people died in front because if it was going to be able to go and worldwide at least 25000000 it's 120 min distance to be 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. this is this shows that the most important step in stopping the spread of the math agenda is separating people by shutting down every day life and interactions. pandemics are both brutal and educational the spanish flu showed that quarantines actually helped after the 1st world war and the

to turn over 11000000000 year olds in 2020 so far match group the internet company behind is the biggest market player. might not be safe from hackers listening in on what intimate conversations it's much less riddled with beta scandals than facebook after all that's happened really willing to trust a book with private details about all of life. some 200000000 facebook users say their single. mark zuckerberg is now targeting this vast online market with facebook's newest feature facebook dating we want facebook to be somewhere where you can start moving for relationships and. currently facebook posts 2 and a half 1000000000 active users worldwide so the odds of finding a match are reasonably high. but jason kelly a privacy expert with the electronic frontier foundation warns us not to trust that
10:18 am
facebook will keep our intimate chats and sensitive data safe. facebook dating raises a lot of red flags because they say because a history of misusing user data and there's no evidence that anything has changed in particular other than facebook's messaging. facebook dating is no standalone app but a feature integrated into the existing facebook infrastructure which has already been hacked several times. so it's no wonder that data security experts fear our romantic preferences will soon end up exposed for the world to see. it's also unclear how exactly facebook plans to use this data. after all the platform makes money by selling ads. in the u.s. and canada online magazine slate found that facebook earns around $120.00 euros per year per user. can we trust the fact that mark zuckerberg says they're not going to use this data for advertising purposes i think the answer is no facebook's days.
10:19 am
very likely is collecting information or will be one day that they might sell because that's their business model. in the us some believe that mark zuckerberg is out to revolutionize the dating market. and some even speculate he's planning to weaken the current market leader match dot com so he can buy it up to. you know. facebook users must know there are revealing lots of their personal information for the kompany is financial gain the same surely goes for online dating but aside from that can facebook dating rival leading apps like in the online dating consultant amy letting him tried it out for us. users can only access facebook dating through the mobile app it's not available in the desktop version but the feature is simple enough to use and it's free there's no premium account
10:20 am
option yet in the countries where it is available the dating service is already integrated into the facebook app but before she can get started amy letting hands still needs to opt in and put together her dating profile. option to choose whether man or woman are let me be more specific which is really cool. it feels really fast to set up it isn't feel like you're doing a lot of work. and some of the questions that they ask kind of take out the ease of what do i say about myself or talk about myself i think that's the hardest part i really really like this question something i'm embarrassed to admit that i love is you know vulnerability is a great way to connect with other singles so that question sparks a vulnerability. then suggests my for potential dates from a pool of 2 plundered 1000000 self declared facebook singles friends are off limits unless both previously deem each other their secret crush. so far though facebook
10:21 am
hasn't revealed any other official stats on who really uses the feature. i'm not totally in love with that i think there's still a lot of people that need to know about it if you like match dot com the reason why is because it really puts the user in control they have a keyword search option and you can type in specific words in the keyword search that allows you to find common interests here. we're relying on facebook to make sure that they match us based on their algorithm facebook's matchmaking algorithm draws upon the information use provide in their accounts including the events in groups they join there's a hard icon for when you like someone and in extreme when you don't sounds like to functionality is very similar facebook has that safety feature where you can tell your friends your location of what where you're going as

a woman with online dating it can be really feel very vulnerable and scary and i feel that the facebook having that security feature come when on that part by again because there's more subscribers on twitter it is the powerhouse of like subscribers you're going to have more options on tender than you do on facebook. could facebook overtake tinder as the biggest dating platform if only 3 percent of facebook's active users sign up for the dating service then yes but is it really just about numbers online the pool of potential matches is vast but does the sheer number of singles available really increase the odds of finding my soulmate and how exactly do dating apps find potential matches some providers say they apply a scientific method some even use genetic compatibility tests. is that how you will guarantee the perfect chemistry. online dating services turn over

a tidy profit with people's yearning for love. some make sweeping promises claiming to apply mathematical formulas to crack the code of love and help users find the one. in reality however most apps are pretty straightforward they either tap into users social media profiles or compare music tastes some also use users location or g.p.s. data all this combined with the supplemental data users disclose on age sex and personal preferences is then fed into an algorithm. just how providers way each individual snippet of information they can gather to match profiles remains a well kept secret but one thing's for sure. just because someone listens to the same music as i do that doesn't mean we're a good fit in all areas let alone

that are supposedly decisive for lasting relationships. and since users are often reluctant to show off anything but their best side the questions take an indirect approach. how would you react if your partner or someone else started taking your phone. where they respond with i don't mind or i'd leave which partners . were asking about the phone but what we really want to know is how forgiving or strict someone is in the expectations they set or how flexible they are towards others. find out what makes. it really. that for sure to date there aren't any studies on the quality of online dating platforms like partial facebook dating. is hard to predict. if. we can't feed emotions into algorithms. algorithms can

do is inform our strategy for finding a potential mate then develop feelings for if. we don't deliver the emotions but we do increase the odds of 2 people developing a bond they would both call a good relationship. so if you know what you're looking for then you have a decent chance of finding a partner online but from my personal experience a good profile picture usually makes the biggest difference more than share interests or self disclosed personality traits and i'm not the only one who thinks that. of course i only upload pictures i like that i think capture me well we see no point in only uploading my prettiest holiday pictures where i look is fabulous to say angelina jolie it's more important to make sure the picture really shows who i am. i had what they call a selfie session with my camera set on self timer. i posed in a posed for ages it was sort of awkward. so i mean that's

a profile pictures of people showing off or wearing next to nothing those are the worst. humans are visual creatures that's why in the world of online dating the 1st impression really counts. whether we like a person's face for not is crucial. but surprisingly our other senses play a key role too. even if we're only looking at a picture not actually standing face to face. our mind imagines what that person might smell like then when we meet in person our mind checks up our assumption was right if not we can get pretty disappointed and tosh. in the end disappointment is just as much part of the proles as an online dating as it is offline the selection of potential partners is huge nearly every other internet user is single with roughly 20 percent of them willing to give online dating
