4th street stocks dive a saudi arabia values to step up oil production after russia's refusal to join an opec production cut trading in futures was halted after they fell more than a day limit of 5 percent for the 1st time since 26 thing also this president is in brussels discussing the unfolding migrant crisis at the greek turkish border tens of thousands of refugees to remain in limbo and we speak just one of many women who've been forcibly sterilized in south africa with that their knowledge she told us she only found out when she tried to get pregnant. for some reason for and no longer even they just decided to move away no woman deserves to go through what i

am calling for the end of life all go into israel and the relief to their lives. good evening just gone 6 here in moscow you're watching r.t. international our top story this hour world oil stocks are taking a major hit today following the failure of crude producing countries through agree to production cuts as demand for oil falls a myth is about the coronavirus saudi arabia says it will increase output after a dispute with russia on quarter as more details since monday's opening global markets have taken a huge plunge the price of oil has seen its biggest drop since the 1st gulf war in 1901 and wall street futures are really in freefall right now i mean the trading of them had to be closed early today this was the 1st time this has happened since 2016 it all started last week last friday when opec held a meeting with the. russia to discuss an agreement about potentially lowering

global oil production by 1500000 barrels a day now that was amidst a big drop in global demand linked to the global coronavirus hysteria and now moscow rejected this deal saying that these higher prices would actually give expensive american shale oil production an advantage on the international markets and the western media has already jumped in saying that russia's defense of its interest was the cause of this in suing economic crisis then just over the weekend saudi arabia decided to basically do a $180.00 it lowered its export prices to between $6.00 to $8.00 a barrel of oil in what has escalated into basically a price war between riyadh and moscow now there's a lot of speculation as to why they did that most likely to bring russia back to the negotiating table at the end of the day but some countries are unhappy france is calling on saudi arabia to coordinate with the international community on oil prices and some experts are calling this move an economic scorched earth policy on

behalf of saudi arabia we believe the opec and russia oil price war on equivocally still to this weekend when saudi arabia aggressively cut the relative price which is sells its crude blood the most at least 20 years this is turned into a scorched earth approach by saudi arabia in particular to deal with the problem of chronic production the saudis are the lowest cost producer by far now these developments have put an end to 3 long years of cooperation between opec and russia on supplying oil to the world we have to remember that russia is the world's 2nd largest crude oil producer and it's unfortunate but by standing its ground moscow believes it will be better able to challenge the interests of u.s. oil for russia's interests this deal is simply a logical we giving up our own markets remove cheap arab and russian oil to make way for expensive american she'll and make a. worthwhile for them now all this has dealt

a significant blow to the ruble unfortunately throwing it to its lowest point since 2016 but russia says it actually has enough reserves to wait out the rest of this crisis and come out ok on the other side we've also heard from the opec general secretary who's been trying to calm people after these disappointing this disappointing news about the economy but want to see what game plan they have for the future because as of now the situation continues to deteriorate and this was and he told us in his opinion riyadh has made this mistake before. this agreement between the between or back and the increasing of production of the shelagh. all together was some miscalculation on the sued you sparred probably haven't learned from the mistake very made way back. maybe 56 years where the gamble on increasing production that harmed their economy today would probably they make

them the same mistake i think even the us will be harmed by the by this drab but in the end i think or bag it all probably really negotiate their position of the need to bring stability to the market. turkey's president is in brussels today in a bid to find a compromise to the unfolding migrant crisis that the greek turkish border visit does come amid a deepening diplomatic standoff between ankara and athens that has left tens of thousands stranded at the frontier peter all of has more details to potentially combative meeting with the turkish president mr one later on monday. what we're expecting to hear from the line after this meeting is pretty much what we've heard from her as she heads into it she's been saying that turkey must take back the refugees and migrants it told were able to cross its border and try and enter into

the european union and that there was a real need for action from ankara to deescalate the situation finding a solution to this situation will require we leaving the pressure that is put on the border and ensuring that the individual rights to ask for asylum is respected and it will require supporting both greece and turkey to deal with the pressure they are under well for his part president sent a message to the greek government in which he said. don't worry about these refugees and migrants heading to your borders open up your doors let them in because ultimately in the opinion of mr ed one they don't want to stay in greece they want to move through greece into other e.u. member states ok agree these people will not come and strain your country they will cross it will go to another european country why are you bothered yes who told you to look at these containers this way who will open these doors that you didn't

believe now i'm telling you open your doors to get rid of these birds and well turkeys decision to tell migrants that they wouldn't try and stop them crossing into the e.u. has resulted in some incredibly tense scenes at the border that at times have spilled over into violence. germany is the preferred destination for many of those trying to cross that border in the german foreign minister heiko mass has criticized turkey for what he sees as an crew trying to use these refugees and migrants as political pawns europe's

message to turkey is clear we believe in a fish sharing of the burden but we do not accept people who find themselves in desperate situations should be misused as political pawns or the situation has led to demonstrations in europe both in favor of taking in more refugees and migrants and against doing just that the crisis in syria has led to an increasing violence in syria has led to an increase in the amount of people crossing the border from syria into turkey however. the word from the greek authorities as to just who they've arrested trying to make that crossing from turkey into greece is that the vast majority of those people are actually coming from afghanistan a country of course where china's own. currently deteriorating and troubled situation on the ground there following the breakdown of a truce with the taliban. scores of south african women were sterilized in public

hospitals without their consent the revelations have come to light in a new report but we spoke to one of the victims who found that her uterus had been removed only when she tried to get pregnant 11 years later. the 1st toll of the baby was too big and they had to perform am i c section and remember when i walk up i ask them why they have each by nature my family then they explain that they be was too big and then 26 to make good engaged after trying for about 4 to 5 months our dad. but that me being able to conceive with any thought richard corsi a doctor i really just thought it was just my. infertility issues doc told prescribe medication our fine and when and there that's really learn that and then have to reassess at all i don't think there was anything wrong with me i didn't have any complications before birth and i didn't have any complications after bad

for some reason for i'm known reason they just decided to move my uterus i'm seeing it and non-greasy in because as i'm sitting at this moment i don't know why i was leading this to alive when i met with dr ed ridge who confirmed that he was there when the procedure happened he also could not give me the answer all you could say to me was that they did the operation to save my life i don't want to live my life from white well the commission for gender equality investigate the complaints from 48 victims south africa did see source sterilizer. as a way to fight h.i.v. and hospital staff did for some of the women to sign consent forms according to the world health organization the country does suffer from the world's largest h.i.v. epidemic more than 4000000 women are hiv positive and according to the report illegal sterilization was carried out in 15 public hospitals between 20022005 the study there was complicated by the fact that hospital staff did try to

hide documentation however the victim we spoke to says she's not even h.i.v. positive. i'm not positive our high. offices they are quite aware of it and i'll say this in camera they are quite aware of the practice and they are doing anything new i mean held accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didn't say. i couldn't have signed it because at that time i was on my own now and my mom who was with me all the time also didn't claim any consent form no woman deserves to go through what i am going through and why 2 are. literally alive i do not want my daughter to be singing the same song that i'm singing today because it's time bearable with the pain that comes with this it's a it's unbearable and most of all right it's. my right as

a human being we're very late and my regret is a woman. my reproduction right were taken away from me and no woman ever in south africa should go through what we are going through what we have contacted south africa's health authorities for comment on this story we'll let you know when we get a response in the meantime the health minister has said that he wants an urgent investigation into the issue. the trial has got underway in the netherlands of 3 russians and ukrainians accused of over the downing of flight m.h. 17 the malaysian airlines boeing was blown out of the sky over eastern ukraine almost 6 years ago killing all $298.00 people on board russia rejects the accusations and claims the investigation is biased. he's been following the case. we've been getting lots of information about how the court will proceed not just over the next few weeks but over the next few months beyond this is all taking

place at the court behind me which is the scriptural judicial complex in the shadow here of the airport where each 17 made that fine. a flight that fatal flight which ended in the deaths of $298.00 individuals what we know is that all 4 men the 3 russians and one ukrainian have denied the charges against them those charges of being suspected of being involved in transporting a book a missile from russia into eastern ukraine 3 of the men will be tried in absentia they are not hit the 4th man or leg. is also not here but he has a defense team that he has appointed and he is denied outright all of the charges against him the names of the victims of the mh 17 crash will all read out to the court this morning the judge the head judge describing the heavy soilent in the court as people listened to those names he also talked about this being

a court case that had already been played out in the media and he said it was something that had fired debates we've also heard from the opening remarks of the prosecution team who talked also about the family victims and their statements on that and another relative explained in detail how the family responded difficult it was he describes her sorrow like this everything feels i mean less i have no energy connection with life. while this criminal trial will come as a relief for some for others it will be a heavy burden to bear every time the best occasion appeaser one relative may feel . their wounds reopened well the head judge described what happened to m.h. 17 is being an atrocious disaster he also said that while the 4 men are suspected of being involved in transporting that from russia to ukraine and the trials will

be held simultaneously they cases will not be joint we've been taking a look back at how this coup. case arrived it's a trial it set to last more than a year 3 russians and the ukrainian are accused of helping to bring a book missile launch from russia into eastern ukraine where it fired the fatal shot that brought down the boeing 777 some of those that we expect to be here are 13 secret witnesses whose identities are being protected and that's because dutch prosecutors say they face significant risks to their safety but even before the court has heard a single argument some are treating the trial as a story that already has no stone left unturned brushes probably involved and if involved they're probably going to cover it up 51 percent of russians and directly involved are right now it looks like it's russia's fault because. it's russia's

fault i it's clear some don't need to wait for any court verdict to draw up their own conclusions russia claims this kind of coverage has a clear intention when in the media campaign is taken in unprecedented scale russia and its citizens are presumed guilty that is unacceptable it has been launched in the last few days prior to the hearing in order to compensate for existing gaps in the evidence and to conceal the attempts to manipulate the facts so that it fits with a chosen theory for the prosecutors say they have evidence that the book a missile system was transported from russia into the donetsk region of ukraine in the days before it was fired now russia says that's not true it's presented evidence that the fatal missile serial number can be traced all the way back to the 980 s. when it says it was transported to ukraine then a member of the soviet union and it's there it stayed after the collapse of the

u.s.s.r. but the joint investigation team into the mh 17 tragedy has russia says ignored what it believes is a crucial. piece of the jigsaw russia was also refused full participation in the probe and as such says it will not recognize the verdict reached here by the court despite the fact russia was denied being a full participant of the joint investigation team since the very 1st day of the tragedy the russian federation has actively assisted the investigation and during the past year is conveyed to a dutch colleagues a large amount of data connected with the mh 17 crash unfortunately most of these materials were ignored by the joint investigation team this includes a test by the book manufacturer to try and pinpoint the location it was shot from. was. russia claims that test shows the missile i likely came from an

area controlled by ukrainian forces but the findings were checked it by the g i t with its report stating that russia and ukrainian rebels were responsible. we have established that the russian federation was complicit in the downing of m h 17 because they made available the weapon that was used to shoot down the plane we have all the material to substantiate that the official investigation also received criticism from malaysia 43 malaysians died in the catastrophe which involved the country's national carrier but his thought is there were not given full access to essential information that was contained in the black box of the flight recorders while the country's now former prime minister has raised doubts from the very beginning. the idea was to find old.

seem to be content. to be on russia. many relatives over those who were killed in the mh 17 disaster are expected to be present at the trial so of them this is a cool case about finding the truth and perhaps finding closure for a devastating chapter of their lives some have already you crave closing it skies over a conflict zone in the east of the country but whatever the outcome here regardless of whether the 4 men are found guilty or innocent nothing will ever bring back their loved ones show the ski r.t. in amsterdam. still to come off the break it is 75 years since the u.s. bombs tokyo and deadliest day raid in history in

a couple of minutes we asked people in america and japan whether they even know about what happened. join me every 1st week on the elec so i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. when else should seem wrong why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to shape out disdain become educated and indeed trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.

point adoption is driven by banks failing and countries failing and now a lot but they've got a huge crisis and of course big points come to the rescue. welcome back now in an attempt to curb the spread of the coronavirus the italian government has locked down vast swathes of the north of the country the drastic measures were taken as the death toll in the world's 2nd worst hit country hit more than 360 well amid the latest restrictions a wave of uprisings have hit italian jails because besides demands for improved conditions prisoners have been reportedly angered by new rules which have seen

a suspension of family visits this footage to show a group of inmates on the roof of the sun the tory prison in milan burning items and shouting. most of the revolt or scene in the northern city of medina which left 6 inmates dead and in sicily the relatives of some detainees together near jail they're concerned over a potential prisoner infection. so while this coronavirus has been raging for almost 3 months they spoke about everything except the prisoners this is unfair because in this building they don't even have a. right now an ambulance has just gone in and we have no idea why one of the ministers to be prompted all this people have sentences of less than 5 years have to be treated as different measures at home. while monday marks the 75th anniversary of the u.s. fire bombing of tokyo the deadliest air raid in history killed around 100000

civilians a number that is comparable to the atomic bombing of hiroshima. later that saying yeah it is called weapon has been finding out it seems it is an atrocity many have forgotten. america's use of atomic bombs at hiroshima and nagasaki is common knowledge however there are other atrocities from that historical period that have slipped out of the memory monday marks the 75th anniversary of the united states launching bombing raids against tokyo. u.s. officials knew full well that many civilians would die and that did not deter them flying fortresses will be dispatched immediately to send the papers cities of japan on fina that won't be any hesitation about bombing civilians it will be all out the

idea was to demoralize the japanese population by inflicting death and misery on an unimaginable scale the bombs that were used or incendiary and a city made mostly of wooden structures caught fire rather quickly you're going to deliver the biggest fine crack of the japanese have ever seen major general curtis lemay the mastermind behind the operation said that the victims were scorched boiled and burned to death the usa went on to use this tactic of massive bombing of civilian areas in both korea and vietnam 75 years later do americans have any knowledge of this atrocious act of war let's find out on the biggest bombing raid i know her russia and nagasaki were nuclear bombs there were too corrosive of noon actually it was the tokyo bombing raid in 145 that had the highest death toll genoa to tokyo but you know they are but we often don't think of the crimes committed by

our own side during the war why is that because americans don't. anything wrong well wonderful we never torture anybody we don't waterboard we're just the wonderful loving people who believes everything our government tells us the people who decided at the end of politicians they just take it and say ok. we might lose a lot of civilians or whatever and they still do it because for damn powers more important than what that the people former us president barack obama visited hiroshima and nagasaki tacitly acknowledged differend this impact of using nuclear weapons there was some survivors however those who did not perish in the tokyo bombing raids have been widely ignored so i know about the bombing of tokyo on the night of the 10th of march but only from history books honestly i don't know anything about the bombing of tokyo i know the bombing of tokyo but i'm surprised

that it's already been 75 yes i was parents and grandparents never told us about it so we only know what we learned from t.v. and newspapers i don't think there's enough attention being paid to this in our education in japan. i know about the bombing of tokyo but i have forgotten the exact date but i think the media should tell us more about this tragedy not just about hiroshima and nagasaki. from a theoretical point of view i see why the americans thought this was a prize worth paying to end the war but personally speaking i'll never be able to accept this as 820-0000 people were killed including women and children on the only sad that very few people in the west seem to remember the suffering and innocent victims of that. includes the people there remember only these tummy bombs dropped on japan now there is no consensus among historians about whether this massive bombing was actually necessary in order to defeat japan however it is widely acknowledged that mass death and civilian casualties on such
