the old price crash is the most since the $9091.00 gulf war after saudi arabia says it will slash true drakes to snatch market share from russia. buyers right in death violence with cicely's prisons after the state's strict response to the spread of the coronavirus and commonwealth that grimsley for u.k. army for years slam what they call the grave injustice facing deportation britain due to costly and complicated immigration room.

good afternoon 2 o'clock here in moscow you watching r.t. international wall street has suffered its 1st automatic cuts in trading in more than 2 decades after stocks fell nearly 8 percent shares were spooked by the biggest collapse in the all price since the ninety's before rebinding slightly to 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 all the shots the crash we start in markets and there are 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 100921 or prices to 30 percent or more has been dubbed black monday in the biggest single day for since the 1st iraq war it was sparked by

a spat between top crude surprise riyadh and moscow who couldn't agree on a deal on production saudi arabia says it will slash your prices to grab market share from russia with some experts branding it a dangerous scorched earth approach but it does follow opec's proposed that put in response to falling demand due to coronavirus concerns but more sco disagreed with noting that that would simply give an unfair advantage to u.s. crude produces one quarter as more. 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. we see sharon's fooling prices changing every 2nd top

russian companies also down and specifically the ruble fooling against the dollar the slide of the roof has slowed since the stock market opened. 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 in external markets a vast number of investment projects have been withdrawn from the pact 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 don't quote that what i'm going to tell this to the saudi arabia is playing a losing game. arc it 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 at that you know whether coal or oil game 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 closer to $50.00 and this will be the complete this arrangement of the american shale industry it saudi arabia and america are

really that position that 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 to use only benefit the only potential advantage in the general strategic mikey of alien 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 the 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 for the negotiation what princella mind 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. tires the spread of the coronavirus continue to affect the markets he said he has responded to the ad break by banning public gatherings with more than 9000 infections up more than 1500 on monday alone the country is now the 2nd worst affected after china the 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 day of 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 i made the latest restrictions uprisings broke out in a number of jails prisoners took over the jail in bologna setting it on fire and inmates were filmed on the roof top earning items and shouting freedom and 60

chinese died in clashes in the northern city of medina while in sicily relatives of prisoners to gather near a jail concerned that prisoners could be infected by corona virus person is reportedly getting good by new rules which have seen suspension of family visits. so while his 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 got 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 discuss the prison process as well this is lean your response to the coronavirus crisis with political analysts part of the phone he believes the. foreign shore. definitely they are in the prisoner's interests but of course this is used to to outcries within the

christians 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 inmate somebody close the child earns the possibility oh well the virus needs there but i mean all this outcry seeing is. largely not just definitely. this is a bit of far mismatch in the provisions that the doctor says but on the other hand there's 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 confidences 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 in

just the sort of solidarity among states which has not been seen. now the top publishing agency had chet has cancelled a biography by film director woody allen over child sex abuse allegations the decision came after employees of the publisher walked out over the planned book woody allen has repaid the night or the allegations against him are correspondent and has more. 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 of the u.s. comedy icon and filmmaker woody allen. to cannes who mr bones is difficult to take. 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 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 shit my publisher acquired woody allen's memoir off to other major publishers refused to do so what you 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 wood. 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 adays 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 lottie's editor in chief and has proposed helping to publish the filmmakers book by saying it is a question of freedom of speech. u.k. army veterans from the commonwealth and international association of states for me part of the british empire. had criticized what they call the grave injustice that they could be deported and pays from the ruling conservative party now calling on the government to help former service members with the complex and costly procedures to stay in the country it's hard to imagine people more entitle to live in our lives 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 on

the home office rules commonwealth that friends who have served at least 4 years in the u.k. armed forces can apply for indefinite leave to remain or sonoma settlement however many can't afford the procedures which can cost thousands of pounds and those who don't apply could be forced to leave britain about from told us that their treatment by the government is appalling. we should not be in these are the 1000000 applications today or more many additional troops. and it didn't really used to mean refusing me all over. the armed forces from the air or army refused me from working in going in which an 8 now i have. only one you see i mean there's room. for them and. i mean there's room. to do is mean there remain as. well the wife of a british soldier from south africa has started an online petition to make

a life long stay in a free for all commonwealth veteran she gave us her reaction to the story. they have so somehow queen and country they have for falcon country i mean what has been the lot of nice he's done 2 tours he's. straits urge and under not to terrorist attack by taxis not entitled to any benefit so i think. why have we charge in such a ridiculous amount of money for them to remain in the u.k. to just dump everything that's done we leave life how to children and then it was come to redundancies and i was a bit worried that so i said oh ok we need to start making sure we got money aside and the face just kept going up and up every every night when they got their respect my husband and said but subsequently may have been too explains much too young to know if anything happened to him jenny's army career i think that they

need to re-evaluate the costs. still had the the and u.k. streaming service and so warning label to an old t.v. episode of the complaints of prices and we'll take a look at that stuff right. join

me every 1st week on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to yes all the world of politics sports business i'm sure i'll see you there. with r.t. now there has been significant irregularities in democratic primary saying including close to a relay katie polling stations and extremely long queues that's according to the league of united latin american citizens we got the views of independent new site the gray zone i mean antiwar groups. 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 clearly regularities and this is an highly discriminatory obstruction of citizen's 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 u.s. why does the oas only send election monitors to places like bolivia 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 when in october the yesterday keys bolivia's socialist government of regularities in the cans in which led to even more of this is having to step down after being told to by his military however a new top level u.s. study has found no evidence of fraud. and even leader who is now in political asylum in argentina says the u.s. stole the elections. last year we won in the 1st round now researchers and scientists are demonstrating that there was no fraud on october 20th they stole our victory 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. u.n. human rights organization has expressed concern over the prosecution of dozens of people close to the former president but via his now headed by a right wing conservative government led by janine and yes you're playing to self the interim president taylor picks up the story. but libya was promised peace what i got was beatings bullets and a whole lot of. the. once boldly waving from the balcony of the presidential palace the self appointed interim president janine anya is now high eaves from angry crowds who are chanting assassin killer traitor because the woman who promised peace. i assume the presidency with a midget of fact in line with the constitution and pledge to take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country has waged war on journalism politicians and

on have very own people. i. direct her of the state radio station was tired to a tree and humiliated for hours. an incident that was reportedly documented by argentine journalists of the city on a moral who was found unconscious in his home a day later with the race to different parts of his body and who died 6 days later . various foreign ministers described whole east containing their home interests as telephone numbers family addresses and other personal information are being circulated viral but facebook. and other social

media. it has also been publicly reported that the line flares bodies of several people who were killed in the mess occurred disappear allegedly after being collected by law enforcement officers and no further information has been provided to them says she's only 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 to parity 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 all to rule in its support of the democratic regime change in the latin american country but it also considers itself

the need of the free walled 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 take us a diluted let's all be well behaved and it's not a one off pos. why was the indignation what hundreds of human rights activist community does were killed in colombia when there was peace killings in brasilia neighborhoods all when the president was allegedly linked to drug traffickers there wasn't any or it was hard hearted our best and what do they have in common all the countries are run by right wing government tourny 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. strong arm in

sympathetic leaders and it seems that once they're in human rights be damned. and you carry streaming services slapped a warning label on an old episode of the b.b.c. classic dr who wrote boxes moved as follows complaints that references to asian people in the episode from 977 a racist or the episode in question titled the. white actor made up to play an east asian character in the words used in the program to describe his appearance have been branded is unacceptable. it's really hard to watch because yellow fleece is so on acceptable now when you are 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. we put the issue up for debate with a commentator. on the 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 one or 2 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 one i'm 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 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 road and i said i'm sick and tired of where i mentally and i feel i know how to live i place 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 found so 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 and i will as i go out. and now my goal is 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 and the way. up to date stories are looking so far today here in r.t. will back with more than half a. presence

of the full force with all the little truck there was a news new york at the song in china the style well i'm sure the spinach look you feel and i'd ministry's for war for your clothes or not and i do it is mine go for bush but i will push the fossil fuel bush are going to get us no. one else will so . yes. thanks guys or financial survival. when customers go buy your supplies. then else well reducible our. that's undercutting but what's good for market it's not good for the global economy. good food descriptions sound upper thighs and even for the owners so how to choose

the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us then what's necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to a very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and. no reason to do that research.

ratings and salutation those who would have thought even today in the 21st century with all of our knowledge all of our are within our know how the world would once again be in panic mode over one small little teeny weeny organism so small you can even see it with your naked eye yes the coronavirus is still globe trotting and making headlines by arc watchers as nations around the globe hope to slow its role italy just inactive one of the largest ever attempts to restrict the movement of people in a democracy with a lock down of a northern region affecting them almost 16000000 people and israel got in the game announcing a 14 day quarantine for all international rivals not just people traveling from countries with major outbreaks meanwhile back here in the good old u.s. of day our congress went full panic mode because not only is wall street still

tumbling but the coronavirus made a surprise visit to what was once the republican party safe haven the conservative political action conference or c. pac yes now thanks to its cameo it see pac the coronavirus has forced u.s. senator ted cruz to self quarantine for 14 days after he briefly shook ands with the sea pack carrier. but coded 19 sounds like come on irene isn't the only small little virus leaving bodies in its wake and making headlines these days no blackwater zone former founder erik prince is back in the hot seat after a new york times investigation uncovered that the war profiteer helped recruit former american and british spies for a secretive intelligence gathering operation that included infiltrating democratic congressional campaigns labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the agenda. or in other words just another day at the office for the mercenary

mogul and younger brother of secretary of education but.
