has tested positive for corona virus it does come as scientists in london are on the lookout for human guinea pigs to infect for money in the 1st test of its kind on humans it is all part of attempts to find a vaccine. 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 the study will infect $24.00 people 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 volunteers will be paid as much as 3 and a half 1000 pounds but only visits from doctors will break up their 2 weeks in isolation we are slenderness if there be tempted 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 change you know say i haven't looked for months i really need some money. oh i don't know then 1000. too much. corn to my so i mean i won't die from it but i hope i'm not even tired we can fix that the statistics behind it is true anyway so why not get infected twice to get twice as much at the age of $71.00. now because i have health conditions why would i if you have no. real thing they actually took you to kiss now seriously now. i

mean you know if you know people say doctors he's pushing people there's going to be change in the street i think if you're healthy and. it will be a danger to people here i would be we don't. think. we're safe house for my son who's much younger. i think at the beginning i thought people were over i think something understand like how serious it was but when i heard like schools were being closed how many people got back the bus when i realized ok this is actually serious i decided so my fitness to get mongering people for most people to sentiments 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 taken 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 we spoke to

a broader just about the chances of finding a vaccine. 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 sort of coronaviruses they don't claim to be tested in airing in volunteers they are really close to the 19th so this means that this vaccine if it is successful it would have no protection against the cold anything that is tested in a volunteer will 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 has warned if he fails to act against the coronavirus it does risk an

economic shock global stock markets have already suffered record falls in recent days in the situation has been aggravated to by the biggest collapse in the all price since the early 1990 s. but against you have looks now 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. 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 coron teen aline's are clearly not going to stock up on kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience the list that mond as travelling 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 have never seen anything like this be backed up 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 us 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 costs them to. reduced 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 heard the 1st that worst drop in oil price since the early ninety's and the stock market probably everywhere even about dogs of greedy posted with the worst $1.00 day drop ever there's no point in panicking government still have tools to delay a melt out of tax cuts deborah leaf but the loonie work for a while and dr that well they'll be no point in padding because it will be too late. but we do have plenty online to see for you including a new ad by the for last this level of jean jacques in it he gives his take on the corona virus epidemic and also the panic it is creating you can read it.

joe biden is in pole position to clinch the democratic party nomination after the former us vice president chalked up big wins in the latest round of primaries. to all those who have been knocked down all those have been counting left behind this is your campaign. just over a week ago many of the pundits declared to this. now we're very much in line. biden won in mississippi make you can and missouri and. 3 of the delegate rich states which rival bernie sanders to pick up back in 2016 this is led to biden being presented by much of the media that is the kind of the best place to be don't trump and but despite some notable gaffes in the way the bump in . 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 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. i 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 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 who 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 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 eating political opponent predicted detroit 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 and r.t. new york well the former new york city council kind of that money how last does believe that biden success might not be as spontaneous as it seems. the beginning of this whole race i mean biden 'd was for. then you know you know the democratic party says everybody you're going to do this everybody obeys 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 to do and they do everything to rig the entire environment they're annoyed to candidate gets all the support and looks like there is sort of

a white horse that coming to save the american people you see this kind of orchestrated think we are close to jet blue or everybody kinds of everybody falls in line to support biden who's kind of the chosen one i think when you have so much of that noise it's very hard for the american public to kind of see through that. still to come on our see the matter if saddam is considering a ban on torture and buying. what haven't why just awful. what is the difference between embarrassing gaffes and elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the big game of the latter we are 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. dares thinks. we dare to ask. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

follow again that the man is considering a ban on taurus buying marijuana despite the fact it is said to be one of the main trolls for visitors shot in the bins can 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 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 term stuff like that wait wait it's hash. more than 17000000 visit 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 when they come up with a not come from the people still. as many people now it's one of the main reasons people do come people will enjoy their time a little less so maybe they won't come back everybody is 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 find 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 following 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 amsterdam'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 the mayor has called for a crackdown. of mockers 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 city's torrent model m sadam itself may move away from its long standing policy questioning whether the experiment has only contributed to drug and crime problems so let's even ski out see in amsterdam . now to syria where a fragile cease fire and italy province is still holding with russia and turkey discussing how to ensure last in security for the country but present. this threat to the syrian government if it violates the troops. buz very. we are ready to own our promises provided the other party also on 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 than. a cease fire was announced last

week by the russian and turkish leaders after fighting intensified in italy 33 to the soldiers were killed in an air strike in syria in february sparking clashes president assad's army losses to china r.t. arabic has been traveling with patrols along the border. although for the ill carried it did now we fly over the us i mean while the russian in turkish army vehicles promised the oil reservoir near the american soldiers position. should arm

chair professor and dean of india's gentle school of international affairs told us that indications of a moscow ankara deal are encouraging. just mention that the reports of turkey withdrawing heavy weaponry does not mean that the deescalation is well underway. one would hope so there he has a realize the limitations of don't push me to do the expansion and he's now looking to you know step back from on the brinkmanship so i think the needle he struck with president putin is a constructive one it will help our 1st afford to stop the military clashes how secure do you think that this piece is would it take much for the violence to flare up again the joint patrolling the the russians is a good idea because then it will reduce the chances for misunderstanding and miscommunication on the ground because the syrian forces in advancing and the russians did and he's able to stabilize the situation by making sure the 2 sides

the syrian army and the turkish army are kept at some distance the big problem right now we need libya is that you know you have these dirty shirt he was in cross he's late good. for you the freedom to come but no deal and do we need to be guided you know to engaging indited clashes with the syrian military. that range up say that's how things are looking so far today more again at the top yeah. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay in her

manner more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless followed. the big. compass and it does not appear companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else just as he went on even as i made my. understood it would. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just to get educated and indeed it was a betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look
