international. prices suffered the biggest collapse in 30 years before rebounding slightly as saudi arabia stepped up its price for. oil prices plunged up to 30 percent on what's been dubbed black monday the biggest single day since the 1st iraq war sparked by a spat between top suppliers riyadh and moscow who couldn't agree a deal on production opec proposed output cuts in response to forming demands due to coronavirus concerns moscow disagreed noting that that would simply give an unfair advantage to u.s. crude produces insists it won't give up its benefits. the russian oil industry has a high quality resource base and a sufficient margin of financial strength to remain competitive out any predicted price level as well as maintain its market share for russia's interests this deal is simply illogical we giving up our own markets remove cheap arab and russian oil

to make way for expensive american she'll and make it worthwhile for them as the mainstream media have called russia's refusal reckless that experts know the brand is pursuing a dangerous scorched earth policy analyst told us the crude price could still go further south. the current situation clearly the saudis are to blame they have taken a move to use only benefits the only potential advantage in the general strategic michael valiant terms is the surprise tadi arabia vastly increased production to create a huge price drop with potential for further price drops we're talking something some analysts fear prices could go as low as $23.00 a barrel which would be levels than the early ninety's and this move was solely precipitated by the saudi arabia simply because the russians did not go along with the previous proposal when in fact there was room for further negotiation what

princella mind wants to achieve with this remains unclear because his oil production increase is also compromises the saudi states' ability to fulfill its welfare function and therefore to keep domestic stability but he was an observer of markets didn't see this coming the credit bubble blowing up again this is part syria of the 2008 financial crisis you know it turns out russia's got the best hand at that you know a lot of coal oil going you know russia's cost of energy is about $7.00 a barrel ok saudi arabia has close to $3.00 a barrel but russia has got no debt and they've been buying goal meanwhile in usa and america their cost is closer to $50.00 this will be the complete this arrangement of the american shale industry saudi arabia and america are

really that position that this international oil kolker game and i think russia's all the 3 aces. of the moscow stock markets will be open very shortly we'll keep you cross how shares were asked this morning. as the spread of corona virus continues to infect the markets italy has responded to the outbreak by banning public gatherings with more than 9000 infections up more than 1500 on monday alone the country is the 2nd worst affected after china the number of deaths has risen in recent days to more than 3460. i'm about to send a decree that we can sum up with the expression stay at homes there will no longer be a red zone there will no longer be a zone one or a zone 2 on our peninsula there will be at li at least that it is a protected zone. with the latest restrictions uprisings broke out in several jails

demands for improved conditions prison reportedly been angered by new rules which has seen a suspension of family visits this footage shows a group of inmates on the roof of the person in the burning items and chanting freedom. the most severe revolt was seen in the northern city of moore dinner which left 6 inmates dead in sicily the relatives of some detainees gathered near a jail concerned over a potential person in action. 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 mad 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 with different measures at how. we discuss the prison protest as well as italy and europe's response to the coronavirus crisis with political analyst paolo rough only

he believes that the e.u. foreign shield. definitely they are in the prisoner's interests but the old d.c. is used to to uprise with the prisons and try to get the permissions to return home at least don't really so be says quite so disturbing events measures to be increased in the prisons because of course the inmates are very close to each other the possibility oh well the virus is there but i mean all this out crossing is. largely not just definitely. this is a bit of far mismatch in the provisions that the doctor says but on the other hand they say that means italy is a democratic country and there are number of interests to be taken into account the e.u. has confidence is and can intervene above the member states but even in this

case because city of the e.u. to intervene in this emergency as being very vague. calling just the sort of solidarity among states which has not been seen. to publishing agency hatchet has cancelled the biography by leading film director woody allen over child sex abuse allegations the decision came out employees of the publisher walked out over the plan book with the alan has repeatedly denied the allegations against him editor in chief margarita simonyan says that the book should be published and it's a question of freedom of speech. who publish your book if you wish because we believe no one's life story should be silenced and that all sides deserve a fair hearing who publish your book because we trust that adults should have a free choice whether to read it or not will publish your book because you were not

found guilty of any clue. before the law but that has counted for nothing woody allen will publish your book because we believe in free speech and marrow of me too it seems that book publishers in the united states are becoming book burners that's after hatchet decided to torch the auto biography the us comedy icon and filmmaker woody allen this isn't cannes who mr jones was difficult to take own relationships very seriously and did not cancel books lightly now hatchett has previously published a book by a serial killer they have no problem with controversial authors however after their own employees staged a walkout they caved so what's the issue at hand allegations that woody allen molested his daughter and alan has denied these allegations for decades backing this up is ronan farrow woody allen 8 the son who happens to also be amy to pioneer

and a nother client of hatchet. i was disappointed to learn through press reports that hatchett my publisher acquired woody allen's memoir off to other major publishers refused to do so do not function the woody allen book my sister has never been contacted to respond to any denial or mischaracterization of the abuse she suffered at the hands of. now there have been 2 criminal investigations into woody allen and no charges have been brought against him but over the course of 2 decades he has received 8 oscar nominations as well as one of those prestigious gold statues well the me too movement has taken the shine off of his success now some celebrities at this point are worried that cancel culture has gone a little bit too far the hatchett decision to drop the what do you alan book makes me very uneasy it's not him i don't give a damn about mr allen it's who gets muzzled next that worries me i'm always afraid when the mob however small and well read exercises power without any count ability

process or address the tritons me much more than the prospect of woody allen some to biography hits in the bookstores where he ellen is not the only celebrity to have recently been cancelled let's find out what new yorkers think about this new climate i wouldn't have pulled it if i was them because so many other artists have done so many other crazy things and they saw things published so there may have been a tremendous amount of pressure to be politically correct whatever that means now a days social media is definitely. a place where things to have a style get a lot of the same time those allegations can also become true questions continue to be raised about what cancel culture really means and how far it should be permitted to go up and r.t. new york. president was in brussels on monday in a bid to fund a compromise to the unfolding migrant choices at the greek tookey border the visit comes amid a deepening diplomatic standoff between ankara and that's left tens of thousands

stranded at the frontier the details he is our europe correspondent. well there was no joint press conference between the turkish european sides following this meeting it fell to the european council president charles michel and the european commission president. to meet the press she said that this meeting was a good thing essentially because it showed that there were still lines of communication open essentially one of the positives that she was taken was that turkey and the e.u. can still sit down and discuss things even if it does seem that all they can do at the moment is agree to disagree today's discussion focused on mapping the areas in which we can work both in the e.u.'s interests and in turkey's interest and indeed as you said a lot goes back to the e.u. turkey statement of 2016 which remains valid turkey's 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. to repeat commission president was asked a question by a turkish journalist about the actions of greek forces at the border these turkish journalist accuse greek forces of using excessive force against refugees and migrants found a lie and said that human rights have to be respected but also so did the integrity of borders and the use of excessive force is completely inacceptable and any action

of the authorities has to be proportionate the european border. have to be respected and the human fundamental rights for example the right to ask for asylum have to be respected to both go hand in hand so where does this leave us ultimately the deal that was in place is dead and the new deal hasn't been agreed to yet there may well be some negotiating about what goes into a new deal expect the turkish side to perhaps raise the issue of visa liberalization something they didn't manage to get into the $26.00 team deal there's also talk floating around about the turkish side asking essentially for more cash how much money that would be and in what form it would ultimately be paid well that is all part of these discussions that are going to be going on as i said no deal in place at the moment these talks hopefully will lead to especially from

the european side they'll be hoping that it happens leading to a new deal being in place. geopolitics expert emmanuel tall man believes that the e.u. wants to pressure on turkey but doesn't have the means. it was a 1st meeting but each freezer to get. enough to no decision october so far because we are big disagreements not only between the e.u. and turkey but also we ve you and european union who would like to appear. to show all strength in front of turkey because are turkey gratian against e.u. by you using the migration of crisis at your particular weapon but actually used very reach and the border is not to a cross. but by your migrants pushed by turkey because

greece national board of greece is kept by your greek government on greek police force he spots a reality on the ground. the longest established latino organization in the u.s. the league of united latin american citizens has warned of significant irregularities in democratic primary voting including closed all relocated polling stations and extremely long queues in the pending new side the gray zone and war group code pink joked that if the organization of american states is so concerned about voting irregularities on the continent it should 1st monitor the u.s. itself. the u.s. must send an emergency election monitoring team to the united states to ensure independent scrutiny of a presidential primary that has been marred by clear regularities and the systematic and highly discriminatory and struction of citizens' right to vote in the united states what we actually have witnessed are major discrepancies between

exit polling data in the democratic 2020 primary and the final computer count which is being conducted in a very opaque fashion we've seen in minority and poor communities people having to wait in line for 5 hours just to vote in the state of texas 750 polling places have been removed since 2012 that means there is one polling place for every $7700.00 people and this is particularly an acute problem in latino and african-american areas why are there no election monitors in the us why does the oas only send election monitors to places like bolivia 'd to falsely allege fraud and trigger military coups if texas or new hampshire or south carolina were socialist latin american countries the cia through the oas would have already installed a stick right wing government like that of janine on yesterday in bolivia. in october the oas accused believe you socialist government of the regularities

infocom thing which led to a film and all this is full civil removal in a military coup you know a new top level us study has found no evidence of such fruit in the former bolivian leader who's now in political asylum in argentina says that the oas stole the elections. last year we won in the 1st round now researchers and scientists are demonstrating that there was no fraud on october 20. 3 and let's not have any fear of dictatorship brothers and sisters we are going to defeat the dictatorship with democracy with the conscience of the bolivian people. our call for the oas to come to the united states is really a tongue in cheek kind of joke to say the oas should not be trusted and we don't think the us should be trusted as election monitors in the next elections in bolivia we need trustworthy organisations we need governments to send

9 hardness in election observers the whole world should be watching what happens in bolivia in the next election and should be denouncing that coup that took place that overthrew the government of abel morales the un human rights organization has expressed concern over the prosecution of dozens of people close to the former president of the peace now headed by a right wing conservative government led by janine and his who claim to serve interim president in there as since school taylor picks up the story. but libya was promised peace what i got was beatings bullets and a whole lot of. was the. once boldly waving from the balcony of the presidential palace the self appointed

interim president janine anya is now ha it's from angry crowds who are chanting assassin killer traitor because the woman who promised peace. i assume the presidency with a midget a fact in line with the constitution and pledge to take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country has waged war on john and as politicians and on how very own people. was. director of the state radio station was tired to a tree and humiliated for hours an incident that was reportedly documented by argentine journalist sebastiano moro who was found unconscious in his home a day later with injuries to different parts of his body and who died 6 days later

. the. various foreign ministers described whole east containing their home address as telephone numbers family addresses and other personal information are being circulated viral autopsies and other social media. but. it has also been publicly reported that the wire flares bodies of several people who were killed in the mess occurred disappeared allegedly after being collected by loan for. officers and no further information has been provided on them says she's already cracking down on the violent supporters of the previous government but either way it seems it's easier to make promises of peace when you haven't had a taste of power yet and apparently bang is quite likes the taste because despite promising not to seek election may she's decided to throw her hat into the ring of

to rule now washington must be pleased it was alter all vocal in its support of the democratic regime change in the latin american country but it also considers itself the leader of the free wild so surely such reports of brutality would deserve at least a slap on the wrist no. silence for as good as silence to the killings to the beatings to the tear gas a diluted let's all be well behaved and it's not a one off pass either why was the indignation when hundreds of human rights activists and leftwing community leaders were killed in colombia or when there was a sarge and police killings in brazilian neighborhoods all when the one juror and president was allegedly linked to drug traffickers there wasn't any or it was half hearted our best and what do they all have in common all the countries are run by

right wing government tourney have nice things to say about donald trump latin america has long been washington's playground from panama to guatemala from venezuela to grenada washington has been keen to strong arm in sympathetic leaders and it seems that once they're in human rights be damned. new u.k. streaming services are warning label on old episodes of the b.b.c. classics dr who books is move follows complaints the references to asian people that deserve 177 were racist if the question titled the tolerance of wearing a white actor made up to play an east asian character the words used in the programme to describe his appearance of being branded an acceptable. it is really hard to watch because yellow face is so unacceptable now when you are somebody who was called in your childhood as i have been it is so hard to hear that word and not

feel immediately a trigger reaction of how wrong it is it's an issue we put up for debate with commented annoyance or new york observer columnist andre walker. i think actually we should have access to films and videos and t.v. programs that were made in the past even if they include content that might be deemed offensive today now the bigger problem of course is that brit box which has been launched by the b.b.c. and i.t.v. has not been very successful and that's partly because it's removed a whole swathe of programmes that's pretty people might want to watch because of wall to remarks that might seem off color today when on trade talks about using himself as a cultural counterpoint upon which we are to measure things i'm for 1 am getting sick and tired of having rightwing pro tory pro far right male journalists of

commentators telling black people that muslims whether they should be offended or chinese people with it should be offended a white thespian being made up in yellow face and then using offensive language which would be as a sense of his for any other cost or creed i mean we haven't we just made a piece of television that actually does include a little bit of racism where mossad's white males should not be allowed to comment on that it's not a show or this issue that actually is a place of say it i said i'm sick and tired of where i mentally and i feel like i want to leave i believe it's a family got to be fair and balanced about this this is old school comedy it's a little bit out of date when you watch something like alf garnett to me the joke was that being a great sixties a bit ridiculous and the bit silly but at the same time you see something with sasha baron cohen today and if you look at it his character bharat part of what was funny about bharat was that he had ridiculous outdated views of jewish people he

was a massive found so you know caricature of racism or ridiculing it is an important part of comedy that i would stand by in terms of yeah this is you do this in david allen where this isn't this isn't about and i will as i've also heard how it's actually been almost my you know my you know these ace. as far as brit box is concerned that they can't buy this kind of publicity not really you can get this kind of coverage however you know these are outdated and we do need better systems in place it's all very easy to talk about the past and negative times but progress in the nature of progress is that people in the past will seem to be backward well they are a little bit backward compatible but i think there's no harm in being able to watch those programs anyway next thing without international updates coming your way and often.

in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. max kaiser and stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one topic every week. tax student debt trade was corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . no not one tough. enough lose often i don't want to have snakes on the definitions and i'm buying. one seeking out a new south. and. taking in the city in the south just. to get the gun and then yeah i'm going to bring.

global markets damage amid widespread sell on and this time the oil is the culprit this is the one business show you can't afford to miss i'm christiane and i'm bridgeboro in washington because. the market bloodbath rages on amid infection fears and oil has stalled with pricing dropping below $40.00 a barrel we take a look at the big picture and what that there may have been. and the world health organization says the possibility of this sort of virus becoming apparent damage is very real we will break it down and discuss what can be done to control the spread the virus. the chairwoman of wells fargo has stepped down just days ahead of a congressional hearing in which case that will. break down the shake up one of america's largest banks a lot to get here on a very busy day so let's get started. on oil lost as much as a 3rd of its value monday in its biggest drop since 1901 is gold war fell to $30.00 to $30.00 per barrel as saudi arabia launched a price war with russia after the 2 failed to come to an agreement at its vienna

meeting russia declined to agree to production cuts that have artificially kept oil prices steady officially russia said it wants to wait and see what the coronavirus impact on demand is before agrees to cuts on officially russia is angry about u.s. sanctions of russian energy company rosneft and attempts to stop the north stream to pipeline to germany by flooding the market and sinking prices russia sees an opportunity to crush the us shale industry which is dangerously levered to the hilt russia is also fed up with cutting production outputs timeout that time while u.s. shell producers each time up production to fill in the market as a result saudi arabia cut its crude price as much as $6.00 to $7.00 per barrel and is looking to raise its daily alpo by as many as $2000000.00 barrels per day as it too is ready to fight for market share in the u.s. oil and gas into.
