a virus continues to spread across the globe junior british health minister has been diagnosed with cope with 19 meanwhile scientists from london from london the burra 3 d. propose to infect volunteers for money in the 1st test of its kind on humans we can announce that we have commenced the development of the world's 1st commercial human coronavirus challenge study model also known as control human friction model we are pleased to be able to try and assist in the battle against coded 19 of the study will infect 24 people here with 2 strains of corona virus similar to cope with 19 but causing milder symptoms as scientists try to develop a vaccine against the outbreak all entities will be paid as much as 3 and a half 1000 pounds only visits will from doctors though will break up their 2 weeks in isolation we asked londoners if they'd be prepared to take part.

the make it full no alcohol and if i was younger. but i'm one of those so don't you one second to kick the bucket. you know. have a look for months a really big money. oh i don't know 10000. too much. corn to my so i mean i won't die from it but i hope i'm not even tightly confines to the statistics behind it is true anyway so why not get infected twice to get twice as much at the age of 71. now because i have one's own health conditions why would i if you have no. real thing seriously tell you to kiss now you seriously now. i mean you know if you know people. think we're going to be change that stupid think

if you're healthy and. be a danger to people here i would. think. you're safe house for my son who's much younger. i think at the beginning i thought people were over i think something on the stand like how serious it was but when i heard like schools were being closed how many people prospected that's when i realized ok this is actually serious i miss it and so my fitness scaremongering people for most people to sentence are more like flu until yesterday i was thinking people were over reacting today i'm starting to realize that i've got to take it like seriously of course you have to like. be taking care of it in like wash your hands and stuff but otherwise i feel it's. yeah it's just too much i don't know you spoke of religious men there about the chances

of finding a baxi. any vaccine or drug that it is recommended by to be special and for her to eat locally have to be tested 1st of all no more and i mean we're demonstrating that they are safe sugar coronaviruses they don't learn 3 to be tested in airing in volunteers and they are very close to the 19th so this means that this vaccine if it is successful it would have no protection against it called anything that is tested in a volunteer to convert some however based on the animal studies the overall risk would be minimal and the hope is that that if that state process the reason for that destruction would be deployed in the next which is a broad scale testing me just say it's true. meanwhile the head of the european central bank christine legarde has warned the e.u. risks an economic shock unless leaders act gently against the coronavirus global

stock markets have already suffered record falls in recent days and the situation has been aggravated by the biggest collapse in your price since the early 1990 s. is saudi arabia steps up its war for control of crude sales on his model garcia of takes a look now at what could come next. 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 global hot zones the corona virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge spike in cases 3 prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched an oil price markets are getting punched in the face 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 truck 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 core unseen aline's are really 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 my 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 coronavirus 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 airlines 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 it worse drop in oil crisis since the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even without jobs a greedy force of good 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 for gas in proportion a washing out a more nice intimidates. what

is the difference between embarrassing gaffes and elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the victim of the latter we're told dimension of mental health is off limits to what degree is the public the right to know. the world is driven by shaped by our own personal those. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back now the former u.s. vice president joe biden has secured big wins in the latest round of primaries for the democratic party presidential nomination. all those. all those have been counted let's be sure this is your cue. just. many of the news cleared. now were very much in line. one in mississippi michigan and also missouri 3 delegate rich states which rival

this had picked up in 26 states and that's that biden being presented by some media as the candidate best place to be don't trump november despite some embarrassing moments of moping as. 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 a time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person i've ever been but 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 a trait 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 way without actually biden and if you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. it's got to be true and 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 a 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 the trump will win a 2nd tom claimed that biden is called 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. r.t. new york when we spoke to the alaska who believes that biden's 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 that everybody you're going to do this everybody will be it's 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 they're sort of a wife of course that coming to save the american people you see this kind of orchestrated think we're close to jet blue over 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 noise it's very hard for the american public to kind of see through that. matter of amsterdam is considering a ban on taurus buying what officials say is its most popular attraction marijuana challenge minsky now reports from the city. the dutch are often hailed as being

progressive particular when it comes to soft drugs now amsterdam is a hot spot for kind of base 2 or 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 term stuff like that wait wait it's hash. more than $17000000.00 visit every year putting a huge strain on the city of around a 1000000 people the situation is so bad that the mayor of amsterdam is actually considering banning to or 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 i'll have will they come up with a not come from the people still. but often many people now it's one of the main reasons people do you people 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 back in 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 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 euro's 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 them 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 a clear separation 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 copy this dutch cities torrent model i'm so damn 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 for all to see in amsterdam. to syria where a fragile ceasefire in italy province is still holding with russia and turkey discussing how to ensure lasting security for the country president 31 issued this threat to the syrian government if i like the troops. we are ready to own our promises provided the other party also honors its promises but if our counterparts do not fulfill their promises then we will not shy away from confronting them on an even greater scale. the ceasefire was announced last week by the russian and the leaders after fighting intensified in adelaide 33 turkish soldiers were killed in an ashtray i can syria in february sparking clashes with president assad's army assisted channel r.t. arabic has been traveling with patrols along the border.

not only for but her the ill carried out the now we fly over the u.s. base meanwhile the russian in turkish armored vehicles promised the oil reservoir near the american soldiers position. ok well we can discuss the situation and it with middle east expert who joins us there is good afternoon thanks for coming. just in your opinion do you think this cease fire can last years i haven't had fragile is it.

thank you for having me i think we're not sure if it's going to last or not because we had we had the naggum and before in 2018 between the russia iran and turkey and it didn't last long and this newer corps has fewer unclear responses because we don't know for how long this agreement is signed for we don't know if the turkish forces and the syrian forces will go back to their this ignited places and we don't know what will happen with all these refugees that are left there so is it going to last or not we're not sure but i'm almost sure that it's not going to last for a long time one is issued a stern warning to damascus saying that if it breaches the cease fire there will be a strong response from turkey better suppose the question could also be how much control just turkey have over the militia in vend them from stopping to prevent them from breaking the cease fire. it's that is the most important

question because the last month you know the syrian the syrian army killed around 43 turkish soldiers then the turkish army shot down fuel syrian airplanes 3 or 4 weeks ago so it will be going to last or now turkey has some power over these militias in idlib but we have few terrorists that are within these groups and vladimir putin who has an edge of syria and over the syrian president will. doesn't want this army or this rebellion group to get a lot of power so that's why that's why we don't know if this argument going to last or not because. turkey is a power in this region and russia doesn't want turkey to get involved too much in syria because russia wants to be the superpower within this region that said what

is the long term solution then thirdly but you think. the long term solution for me if you ask me i feel the situation's going is going to be stay like that why because russia wants to get the its edge over syria and in order to get this they need to have been in me over there in order to fight and to have a better life cycle within their arms turkey on the other side they want they want a security zone along the turkish border and the will need. these fighters these groups of independent groups syria interbrand and groups. to fight the syrian government i think this situation this situation both parties turkey and syria that turkey and russia i mean and that's why you can see that president of the game can go to russia to discuss the sit with you iran the table did negotiate something

bad can happen again the it will be some tension and they will go back to negotiation again but they think this situation which is in no man's land over there and nobody knows what to do it's arranging both russia and turkey. ok very interesting look even there for now there was a crew shanley middle east expert thanks for joining us. and thank you to you home for watching or that's how the news is looking so far this hour war again in 30 minutes.
