here. is another politically motivated attack on a politician in. germany. spreading the globe. volunteers for money in a bid to develop a vaccine and that's whether they would. get twice as much younger. don't you wonder. why would i if you ask. joe biden recalled another strong performance in the latest round of the us democratic party presidential primary

look at how the establishment favorite appears to be the chosen one by the growing number of in viruses. good morning and welcome this is art international. the car of a good politician has been destroyed in an arson attack the vehicle of nicholas 1st chair of the alternative for germany party's burden wing was set on fire in the capital into the growing violence against us across the country beatings house attacks and even murders occurring over their views to all of our reports. this street is the scene of what is potentially the latest in a growing number of politically motivated crimes in germany this time it's all the politician nicholas faced go up in flames last night a car caught fire in charlotte and bork the firefighters extinguished the blaze but

could not save the car because of the suspicion of a possible political motivation we're handing the investigation over to a specialist unit faced as a member of the european parliament for the anti immigration alternative that germany party he's pretty adamant of who he thinks is behind this. no the era of day nor i will back down in the face of left wing radical violence the other party should end their own object to smear campaigns against the a.f. they see as a polity have a polarizing effect on german public opinion their anti immigrant stance and deliberately provocative statements from so members has seen them rising in the polls and slammed by their rivals party which tolerates far right extremists and let's call a spade a spade not since and monitoring. the a.f.d. is a racist and nationalist a military spotty. policy which is openly nationalist they are against foreigners

and they have members who are close to being fascists the cochairman of a day even it paled to all journalists and politicians to tone down their rhetoric against the policy after a rise in the number of violent incidents. it's not just politicians from controversial policies that are facing up to the prospect

of attack in germany 2019 so well over a 1000 politically motivated attacks on politicians with a recent poll of may as in the country saying a large number of them had insulted muscles as well simply threatened with quite a few saying they being beaten or spots us in 25th. the independent mayor of cologne henriette ereka narrowly survived an assassination attempt by isn't a phobic extremist who stabs her in the neck the day before the election the attack was motivated by rick is pro refugee stance last june senior cd politician. was shot dead at his home in central germany a far right nationalist with possible links to a.f.p. is facing trial for his murder the government has called for an increase in security for politicians serving the public who are increasingly finding themselves in the line of fire. in. their list even meisner thinks that the politically

motivated violence comes from divisive rhetoric. the symptom of a political split going rate through the country one school half is going to the left and the other half is going to the right result of the increasing extremism of politics in both directions i mean there are attacks against other parties but not with this kind of intensity as it is against the f.t. they are actually a victim of the political violence largest degree i don't see really any other party members getting beaten up with long heavy wooden boards and such as what happened last year with a fellow in hamburg would be more important to try to respect each other's positions and try that the left and right a little bit closer together so that they can start to communicate and agree to some sort of basic rules of conduct so that. the political discourse doesn't become

violent and ugly and. doesn't become necessary to have security in the 1st place i mean that would be the way to go as a return to a more civilized discourse. as coronavirus continues to spread around the globe the british health minister has been diagnosed with 19 scientists from a london calling to infect volunteers for money in the world's 1st such test on humans . we can announce that we have commenced the development of the world's 1st commercial human coronavirus challenge study also known as control human interaction we are pleased to be able to try insisting the battle against. the study will in fact $24.00 people with 2 strains of corona virus similar to covert 19 because milder symptoms as scientists try to develop a vaccine against the outbreak in tears will be paid as much as 3 and

a half 1000 pounds and the visits from doctors will break up the 2 weeks in isolation we are slenderness whether they would agree to take part in the study. no i can't if i was younger. but i'm one of the dirty ones. you know. having worked for months i really need money. i don't know 10000. too much. so i mean i won't die from it but i hope that i'm not even tightly complaints to the statistics behind it is true anyway oh why not if i get infected twice striking twice as much at the age of 71. now because i have hundreds of health conditions why would i if you have no.

real thing seriously. now seriously now. you know if you know. it was going to be changed do you think if you tell. people here i would. think. they're safe house for my son who's much younger. i think it did beginning i thought people were over i think something understand like how serious it was but when i heard like schools were being closed. when i realized ok this is actually serious it isn't serving the scaremongering people for most people to sentiments are more like until yesterday i was thinking people were over reacting today i'm starting to realize that i've got to take it like seriously

course you have to like. be taking care of it didn't like wash your hands and stuff but otherwise i feel it's. it's just too much i don't know. we asked for religious mohammed were near where the fallen tree infection tests could help to develop a vaccine. any vaccine or drug is recommended by the be special and order to eat locally have to be tested in 1st in animal and i mean we're demonstrating that they are safe sugar coronaviruses that aren't going to be tested in the airing in will and dearest the are very close to the 19th so this means that this vaccine if it is successful it would have protection against anything that is tested in volunteer conduct some of them are based on do animal studies. and the hope is that if that state

process it reasonable that this vaccine would be deployed in the next which is a broad scale testing me just say it's true. so the arabia is the oil war again right after cutting the price to its lowest in 3 decades reactors now announced boosting crude supplies to record highs comes after it failed to agree new production cuts with russia despite falling demand from the corona virus outbreak moscow is now reportedly suggested fresh talks with the kingdom to ease the escalating crisis but riyadh has allegedly rebuffed russia school spat between 2 of the world's top crude suppliers has also seen the saudis saying that they will slash prices to grab market share from moscow something that some experts have branded as a dangerous scorched earth approach. takes a closer look. 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong a subject that has dominated the news all week. the corona virus spreading fears

grow of a global pandemic a huge buy good he says prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched and oil prices markets are getting punched in the face of the dow collapsed. around 900 points today its worst single day loss ever a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isn't so bad i mean cheaper fuel trump seems to think it's good. good for the consumer gasoline prices coming down so here's my question what's the point of cheap fuel when you can't drive or fly anywhere because of an epidemic because of coron seen an airline's are clearly not going to stock up on kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience less demand as

traveling goes down that is going to be one of the factors that will likely keep b. or cries depressed now you are starting to get by we the whole world is facing catastrophe it isn't just one problem it's many and they feed each other they multiply each other 1st the airlines suffer fuels cheap but no one's flying anywhere no one travels tourism collapses meaning millions of people lose income if millions stop making money they stop buying stuff so the factories shut down meaning more people lose jobs and so on of course we have the impact of the crisis which is made by the corona virus spreading around europe italy we have just seen it and then of course the. situation with oil which is a bit complicated and so far i've never seen anything like this we backed it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now will

we get to the crux of it think a little trip back to 2008 he is a graph showing the u.s. debt market in 20082 trillion it collapsed because bankers high on greed gave out loons to people to buy houses that they couldn't afford we hoped at least that they had learned their lesson. watch what they did next since then they've loaned out 3 and a half times as much the us shale industries they're now selling oil cheaper than it cost them to produce the adeline's with no passengers the hotels with no guests the businesses with no clients in 2008 the world's economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed their house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have the 1st that worst drop in oil

price in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even in the dow jones and greedy posted with the worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts debt relief but the loonie work for a while and after that well they'll be no point in panicking because it will be too late. i'm staying with l.t. more news coming your way after this short break. seems wrong. just don't all. get to shape out this day. and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome back former us vice president joe biden has clinched big wins in the latest round of primaries for the democratic party presidential nomination. all those who have been. all those have been counted. this is your campaign. just. many. cleared. now were very much in line biden won in mississippi michigan and missouri 3 delegate rich states which was all but he said and this picked up in 2316 that's led to him being presented as the candidate best placed to beat double trump in november that is open explains that success may not last. the race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and it's pretty clear where the bets are going there on joe biden the good guy it's time for us to beat

donald trump and it became very clear to me that joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person i've ever met he is just a good guy and why not have a good guy in the white house after all for the past 3 years the media has been working very hard to convince everyone that pure evil has overtaken the u.s. presidency but it doesn't take very deep digging to discover that you can rub off joe biden's good guy shine take a look at how he insulted detroit assembly plant worker who questioned his views on gun rights. he also has hinted that he believes that race and intellectual ability are somehow connected to your kids you just as brady just as towns white kids on top of that he is known to just make things up and say things on the fly that have absolutely no connection to reality we choose unity over division we choose science over fiction we choose truth over facts and a lot of ways joe biden sounds an awful lot like donald trump let's see if

americans can tell them apart i bet you're as bright as you are good looking. that's actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts. that was actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids by the. actually biden and you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. it's got to be trumped that one's actually biden also the narrative is supposed to be that donald trump is a big mean bully and joe biden is a lovable adorable grandpa with good intentions and he's supposed to be way better than that wild eyed radical bernie sanders except don't you remember how recently everyone was bashing joe biden i just think biden is declining i don't think he has the energy and he has been a skilled debater we saw him with sarah palin we've seen him in the past the question is does he still have his job and destroy native and is he how sure are

busy can you imagine that man in the presidential did by we don't know trump there's not enough popcorn in the world to do is how subtly biden inserts obama into every possible answer having significant mental faculties issues is everyone ok with biden being president of the united states when he's having difficulty remembering the name of you know politicians that he'd be dealing with on a regular basis but now we are told that opposition to joe biden is a russian plot the kremlin's english language media aim to influence americans on the home tough act if he promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording trump's efforts to investigate his heating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd tom claimed that biden has come to be unraveling on some eyes that allegations of corruption are doing real damage to his presidential bid now the race is getting

heated as the field has narrowed so the question is now will joe biden be able to keep that good guy image when it's time to start taking shots at bernie sanders kaleb. r.t. new york we spoke to lawyer and former politician money how last a who told us the biden success may not be as spontaneous as it seems in the beginning of this whole race i mean biden was coming forth then you know you know the democratic party says everybody you're going to do this everybody will be the corporate media also starts to say all this negative noise about barry i think what's happening now is very interesting this is usually what the democratic party does is they pick their annoying too while and they do everything to rig the entire environment they're annoyed to get it it gets all the support and looks like there are sort of a white horse that coming to save the american people you see this kind of work is

treated think we are close to jet blue everybody kinds of everybody falls in line to support biden who's kind of the chosen one i think when you when you have so much of that norway's it's very hard for the american public to kind of see through that. the murder of the world's cannabis capitalist milling about on taurus for its most popular attraction marijuana illuminate it has more from amsterdam. the dutch are often hailed as being progressive particular when it comes to soft drugs now amsterdam is a hot spot for cannabis to lure ists with significant numbers coming here to try the drug vending coffee shops as a tourist coming to the city what do you think this city is famous for the coffee shops. i think for most tourists it's like well known things like. we don't stuff

like that wait wait legs hash. more than 17000000 visits every year putting a huge strain on the city of around a 1000000 people this iteration is so bad that the mayor of amsterdam is actually considering banning tourists from buying kernis this briefing from the highlights the issues it says 65 percent of foreign tourists come to amsterdam to use cannabis and visit the coffee shops and almost hof would be less likely to visit again if bart if the mayor bans it what sort of impact do you think that will have will they come up with a not come from the people still. as often as many people now it's one of the main reasons people do come people who come will enjoy their time a little less so maybe they won't come back everybody's coming here for the coffee shops if the murder is going to stop the coffee shops juries would stop coming to

amsterdam but the survey also showed a more worrying impact the to ban could have some 40 percent of respondents said that if they were put britain they would find another way to buy the drug this should be perhaps a major concern for a city that is already struggling to deal with the darker side of the drug industry and crowing point a recent report called attention to the city's problems with hard drugs violent crime and. human trafficking based on sewage research cocaine consumption must represent a turnover value of at least $75000000.00 euros but there are limitations to that research subversive crime can take many forms such as human trafficking and labor exploitation environmental crime arms trafficking illegal gambling and health care fraud it's believed i'm saddam's coffee shops are aiding and abetting the ugliest

side of the city's drug business now there are allegations that the coffee shops and sells deal back door with organized crime gangs and some being used to launder criminal money that has called for a crackdown it please oppression of markers between hard drugs and some drugs has a greater urgency because of the trade in hard drugs while many cities around the world are looking to coffee this dutch cities torrent model i'm sadam itself may move away from its long standing policy questioning whether the experiment has only contributed to drug and crime problems so much even ski all see in. afghan president ashraf ghani has signed a decree to release taliban prisoners around one and a half 1000 militants are to be freed as a 1st releasing $5000.00 fighters the moves part of a deal with the u.s. and the taliban agreed last month the deal is aimed at ending the decades old war

in afghanistan under the agreement a 1000 government troops will also be released the centerpiece of the accord is the withdrawal of u.s. troops from the country that's already underway and in turn the taliban is starting talks with the afghan government itself. despite the fact that reducing violence is an important part of the deal incidents continue bus this rope to the swearing in ceremony of president gani amid a deepening political crisis in the country. according to afghanistan's interior ministry 4 rockets landed near to the site of the ceremony at least officer was injured islamic state claimed responsibility. and launched a short distance away on east main rival abdullah abdullah held his own presidential inauguration after weeks of mediation efforts between the 2 men failed to

understand election commission named garny the winner of the contest in september but declared the results fraudulent and claimed victory. political analyst andre wilczek told us that the situation on the ground is a disaster and in the pentagon is negotiating from a position of weakness. well there is definitely a pressure from the united states. to sign this agreement so united states is occupying come home to stand for 18 years it spends more than a trillion of dollars of it is. it brought the gun to do some of the most horrific moment in the history of the area it's clear that the government of afghanistan and the united states cannot actually defeat the taliban this 5. brutal years of patient collaboration or whatever you want to call it is there to stay i. think to see this war through all it is going to play you have
