decades the stocks fell nearly 8 percent shares were spooked by the biggest collapse in the oil prices the ninety's before rebounding slightly saudi arabia stepped up its price war. and in the u.s. the dow plunged more than 2000 points the worst one day point drop ever prompted by oil price war that stunned markets around the world we had a huge market event yesterday is there a lot of investors repriced at all the sharp crash restart markets and the 2000 point swing on the dow it's the same for what happens today business news now starting with the crude oil markets as they try to bounce back from their worst day since 1901 or prices plunged 30 percent of what's been the black monday in the biggest single day full since the 1st iraq war it was sparked by a spat between top crude suppliers and moscow the couldn't agree a deal on production. saudi arabia says it will slash oil prices to grab market

share from russia with some experts branding a dangerous scorched earth approach on this after opec proposed output some response to falling demand due to coronavirus concerns that moscow disagreed noting that would simply give an unfair advantage to u.s. crude to jesus. let's get an update now live problem for the little courtroom they must go stock exchange how other russian markets react. well neal just when we thought black monday was bad enough things have actually gotten quite worse we saw a huge dive by the moscow exchange index and the entire the index for the entire trading system of russia has fallen nearly 13 percent it's really it seems like an economic bloodbath really and we heard from the spokesman of the moscow exchange earlier talking about it. it's a question we're going to raise who are 2 we see sharon's fooling prices changing

every 2nd of the sequel to approach and companies also down and specifically in the ruble fooling against the dollar the slide of the rule has slowed since the stock market opens up because. now all this has obviously had a very negative effect on the ruble it's seen its biggest decline in value since 2016 but the finance ministry is saying that it has this situation under control and it won't it won't fail to carry out its budgetary obligations moscow also believes it's got enough reserves to wait out this crisis to the end and come out in one piece on the other side today we heard the kremlin's game plan. the russian economy development ministry plans to change the system of management of state capital investments i mean volatility on external markets a vast number of investment projects have been withdrawn from the area impact of market fluctuations. algeria and france are already calling on saudi arabia to

better coordinate with the international community on influencing these oil prices now as of now the next meeting between opec and russia is scheduled for march 18th so hopefully they'll be able to save their 3 year long streak of cooperation and prevent a deeper economic crisis from unfolding thanks of course women don't call it a life problem the moscow stock exchange. but in the meantime have told us that saudi arabia is playing or losing. an observer of markets could see this coming the credit bubble blowing up again this is part 0 of the 2008 financial crisis you know it turns out russia is the best there 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 russia has got no debt and they've been buying goal meanwhile in usa and america their cost is well sort of $50.00 and this will be the complete this

arrangement of the american shale industry saudi arabia and america are really that position at this international oil kolker game and i think russia's all the 3 aces the current situation clearly the saudis are to blame they have taken a move whose only benefit the only potential advantage in the general strategic macchiavelli in terms is the surprise tadi arabia vastly increased production to create a huge price drop and 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 of the early ninety's and this move was sorely 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

print some wants to achieve with this remains unclear because his oil production increase is also compromises the saudis states' ability to fulfill its welfare function and therefore to keep domestic stability. as the spread of corona virus continues to affect the markets at least responded to the outbreak by banning public gatherings well the 9000 infections more than 1500 on monday alone the country's the 2nd worst affected up to china number of deaths is risen in recent days to more than 460. i am 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 least at least that it is a protected zone with the latest restrictions uprisings broke out in a number of jails prisons took over

a jail in belong you're setting it on fire and milan inmates were filmed on the rooftop burning items and shouting freedom and 16 trainees died in clashes in the northern city of more than in sicily relatives of prisoners gathered near a jail concerned prisoners could be infected by coronavirus size demands for improved conditions prison is reportedly angry about new rules which has seen a suspension of family visits. so while this coronavirus has been raging for almost 3 months he spoke about everything except the prisoners this is unfair because in this building they don't even have madsen 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 home. we discussed the prison protests as well as italy and europe's response to the coronavirus crisis with political analyst paolo di phoning he believes the e.u.'s efforts of so far forward short.

definitely there are in the prison those interests but of course this is used to to outcries with the christians and try to get the permissions to return home at least don't really so this is quite disturbing events measures to be increased in the prisons because of course the inmates are very close to each other the possibility oh the virus means there but i mean all this out proceeding is. largely not just definitely. this is a bit of far mismatch in the provisions that the doctors but on the other hand they say that means italy is a democratic country and there are a 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 passage 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. top publishing agency has had a scan sold a biography by film director woody allen over child sex abuse allegations decision came after employees of the publisher walked out over the planned book with allen has repeatedly denied the allegations against him correspondent kelly morgan has details. mayor of a me too it seems that book publishers in the united states are becoming book burners that's after hatchet decided to torch the audio biography of us comedy icon and filmmaker woody allen incision to cancel mr allen's book was difficult one we take our relationships with authors very seriously and do 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 son who happens to also be a me too 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 exercise its power without any count ability process or address the tritons me much more than the prospect of woody allen so to biography hits in the bookstores when 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 salad 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 artsy new york. city's editor in chief margarita simonyan has proposed helping to publish the filmmakers book saying it's a question of freedom of speech. so he's president was in brussels on monday in a bid to find a compromise to the i'm folding migrant crisis at the greece turkey border the visit comes amid a deepening diplomatic standoff between ankara and left tens of thousands stranded at the front to hear the details he's a europe correspondent peter oliver. all 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 was 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.

era pig 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 underly 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. orders have to be respected and the human fundamental rights for example of 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 dates 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 liberalize they should 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 given wall 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 happens leading to a new deal being in place. but with more news for you after this short break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person if there is. no

dares thinks. we dare to ask. when i was a child seemed wrong. why don't we just don't all. let me. get to shape out this day become educated. and indeed. the trail. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common 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 to close or relocated polling stations and extremely long queues independent new side the gray zone and war group code pink have joked that if the organization of american states is so concerned about voting irregularities on the continent it's the 1st moment of 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 this is an highly discriminatory up 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 people and this is particularly an acute problem in latino and african-american areas why are there no election monitors in the u.s. 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 mystic right wing government like that of janine anya is today in bolivia and

a job of the oas accused bolivia's socialist government of irregularities and vote counting to a vote over all is fulfilled removal in a military coup. top level u.s. study has found no evidence of such fraud from a bolivian leader he's now in political asylum and anjan tina says 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. the un human rights organization has expressed concern over the prosecution of dozens of people close to the former president libya is now headed by a right to wing conservative government led by genius who but claim to interim president in the absence of. picks up the story. but libya was promised peace what i got was beatings bullets and

a whole lot of bad luck. 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 traitor because the woman who promised peace. 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 the politicians i don't have very own people. at the.

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 . various foreign ministers described whole east containing their home address as telephone numbers family addresses and other personal information are being circulated viral top facebook and other social media . it has also been publicly reported that the lifeless 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 ofter 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 world so surely such reports of brutality would deserve at least a slap on the wrist no. silence or 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 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 honduran 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 that in human rights be damned. u.k. army veterans from the commonwealth and international association of states formerly part of the british empire have criticised what they call the grave injustice that could be deported these from the ruling conservative party you know calling on the

government to hope for the service members with the complex and costly procedures needed to stay in the country. it's hard to imagine people more entitle to live in our islands than those who are forced to defend them we need to look hard at these cases and ensure we support those who should have been able to stay all alone this does seem wrong i hope the home office will rectify this quickly and save these former british soldiers from the trauma of court proceedings and further delay the home office rules commonwealth veterans who have served at least 4 years in the u.k. armed forces can apply for indefinite leave to remain also known as settlement or the many can't afford the procedures which can cost thousands of pounds and those who don't apply it could be forced to leave britain. the wife of a british soldier from south africa started an online petition to make lifelong stay in the u.k. free for all commonwealth veterans she shared her reaction with us. they have so sorry in country they have fought for our clinton country i mean what has been the

lonely he's done 2 tours he's all streets oh and under nafta a terrorist attack they take taxis they're not entitled to any benefits or anything like that why we charge is such a ridiculous amount of money for them to remain in the u.k. after just done everything that they have done we lived life to children and it was come to redundancies and i was a big worry for them so i said oh ok we need to start making sure we put money aside and the face just keep going up and up every year every day when they go what they risk my husband and send back to south africa me having to explain to my 2 young children if anything happened to him genuinely career i think that they need to re-evaluate the costs. and you u.k. streaming services like to warning label on old episodes of the b.b.c. classic dr who brit boxes move follows complaints the references to asian people in

an episode from 1977 were racist episodes titled the talents of wing chang as a white actor made up to play an east asian character the words used in the program to describe his appearance of being branded and acceptable it's really hard to watch because yellow is so on acceptable now when you're somebody who was called it in your childhood as i have been it's so hard to hear that word and not feel immediately a trigger reaction of how ron it is issue up for debate commentator mo and start the new york observer columnist underwater. 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 for 1 am getting sick and tired of having rightwing pro tory pro far right male journalists of commentators telling black people of muslims whether they should be offended or chinese people whether they 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 most says that white males should not be allowed to comment on that it's not a show or this issue that actually is a place of road and i said i'm sick and tired of where i mentally and i feel i know how to live 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 a 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 founds he said no it's so cool you know caricature of a 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 it i was i thought that has actually been all my you know my you know these race. 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 in negative terms 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 stay with us international told me for updates in half an hour. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond's show and i'll be speaking to guest of the well the politics all business i'm showbusiness i'll say a bad. bad times are bad manners and i love. her. style come join us at the time i'm really talking about how. i get to 60. 5. it's. boarded

and then you come from i was thrilled to have this to achieve and yes some ideas come to this is my niece well meantime our number is part owner operation that's destroying my home sometimes it's destroying in good hands. on top removal mining and. this is i took these photos just last week. and this is what they're doing some are going to be a significant share of this operation and there's some of the new slang there's a lot of pollution inside this is what it's doing the water. must go he says this is the water this is what it's doing to the water then come from his kitchen sink like sheets and says yes you have to cry sometimes a company in the talks among themselves has become increasingly green and while the rest of the world went up.
