in 3 years and it finally found one the us has done everything wrong this stimulus package is is is utterly pointless the this is just government officials trying to make headlines and make news and do what they think they're supposed to do but it means nothing the fiscal stimulus would mean nothing but i think we're faced with with the short term deflation as we've seen from from virtually prices and everything from financials to oil to the fiscal stimulus is going to make the situation worse the us is broke did your is no money to stimulate the economy all we could do is print money we're going to crank up the printing presses we're effectively dropping money from helicopters but if the coronavirus does anything it's going to reduce the supply of goods so after this initial decline in prices prices are going to go up because there's not going to be very much to buy the supply of goods is going to go down meanwhile the supply of money is going to go through the roof. transatlantic travelers are also being dealt

virus is told watch on her and when you're out in the boat touching everything from . 2 handrails to picking up things in shops it's a bit difficult to run into a bathroom to scrub. every time well thank goodness of course those little travel sized bottles of hand sanitizer to fight those nasty germs and that is of course if you can still find eddie the phones don't stop ringing this morning we have the schools the town halls the public transport company everybody wants gel we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of one jail exponentially increased the problem was considered so serious the french government stepped in to you that today will take care of the degree regulating the prices of hierarchical it jelled another precaution for many is to do on a face mask a tiny bit of coffee covering your mouth and is this season's must have it seems

the face mask took over paris fashion week so if you have the money instead of paying a couple of euros for one. you can spend thousands if you like except that the type of mask available over the counter or even from a renowned freshen house is pretty useless against the virus that's at least according to the french government which at the same time is requisitioned all stocks and production or flasks for the next few months reserving them for health workers and those who are infected but the scammers have a new ploy france has you probably know a wolf famous ban or fully covering your face in public that's mainly aimed at conservative muslim women but some tricksters have twisted it to their advantage dressing as police officers they've been told getting chinese visitors to paris who

were wearing face masks telling them that they had broken the law and had to pay an on the spot following these students were 1st to pay a 150 euros and find smoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete face covering in public spaces police investigation found the d.c. police were pretending to be police wearing a mask for health reasons is absolutely not illegal in the room i was trying to pick on the weak the elderly in the district around bordeaux there are reports of people selling door to door decontamination services for a snip at 1500 euros these con artists use a pressure washer to do a little bit of cleaning that's not all they're up to this type of canvassing allows these crooks to enter your home check the presence of valuable objects of the presence of an alarm system perform if they have the opportunity

a robbery by trick the majority of the victims of robbery or elderly who are physically weaker tell your loved ones to take precautions and the scams it seems gaining momentum. the french national consumer and fraud office says it's received thousands of reports over dealings we're talking everything from magical lumps with disinfecting properties to empty barbarous purify is the simple and most effective method to stay virus free is something that we should all been doing anyway and that is thoroughly washing our hands with soap and water it's that simple so remember to kiss well physically as we've been told what to believe is a search but the acronym keep it simple stupid and don't get cold. r.t. paris. coronavirus crisis is posing unique difficulties for one of greece's

smaller outlying islands one case is now being registered on less both which is host to a densely packed refugee camp where more than $20000.00 the living often dire conditions evangelos that has been speaking to some of the islanders. i'm standing here in front of the refugee camp in the list reese we're about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people area it's not the best when it comes down hygiene in the conditions are not the ideal for people living in such a small area but now with the spread of coronavirus around the world a lot of the people are concerned he went around and speak to the locals to see what the had to say about a fear of a virus like that spreading among the cow. if it gets like will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is good if they manage to isolate one or 2 of those infected with corona virus one of the feel unloved infection spread further

you can imagine what will happen. with them there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will be maria that's affected but also mightily. his boss will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course i'm afraid we have our homes our jobs they say many bad things about us but it dealing with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a virus on the island. ensuring that law thing of those cases have been confirmed here at camp but as we went around and we spoke to refugees swore living in this camp for many many years now they have a different opinion. a lot of people here you don't know we saw somebody told me that 2 people have it. i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention on the virus who is

already here even if you are in the hospital it does not help much because you cannot be cured you know i sleep in a container with people. over defect is a rippling through the u.s. election process to democratic presidential hopefuls joe biden and bernie song does go head to head on sunday in another round of debates though under serious restrictions not only is the debate being moved from arizona to washington there will also be no studio audience one of the moderators has also pulled out citing medical concerns of the candidates themselves saunders who's now behind biden on delegates so yes he isn't losing momentum. donald trump must be defeated and i will do everything in my power to make that happens on sunday night in the 1st one on one debate of this campaign the american people will have the opportunity to

see which candidate is best positioned to accomplish that goal now songs these losses being partly blamed on his own target voters many of whom believe their forces are no longer being heard kind of more pain explains the last day of democratic primary voting did not go too well for bernie sanders and now many voices are calling for him to drop out of the race and clear the road for joe biden however sander says he is not willing to give up 1 just yet now sanders says his campaign actually has the upper hand over his rival when it comes to the youth but it is not just the ideological debate. that the rest of the is with. we need the generational. one or 2 in the future you need to. preserve the future oh country now the polls confirm what bernie sanders says young people like

him more than they like joe biden and one of the goals of the bernie sanders campaign is to get them more involved in the electoral process but it's not as easy as it sounds how we've been as successful as i would hope in brigham young people and the answer is no but why young people aged 20 to 35 approximately adds up to roughly 60 sand 1000000 people if they all signed up to vote sanders would have quite the edge but they haven't done that turnout among younger voters remains comparatively low some blame the procedure for registering to vote for the 1st time for students who are going to school in another state registering to vote can get quite complicated some said that the electoral college and the party primary process is very confusing and complicated and the quality of education on civic matters is quite low we decided to talk to some younger people here in new york city and find out why the numbers of young people going out to vote is so low did

you vote in the last election now do you plan to vote in the upcoming primary vote maybe. maybe better believe it why might you not vote. it just doesn't make sense that the public's opinion doesn't even matter when it comes to a presidential election now why do you think a lot of young americans don't vote. cause it doesn't make any sense to close the mostly depends on the. people sometimes the lines are really long but. not as long as adults do that's what younger people just either don't think it's important as or so if people voting or they just. i know. well i feel like a lot of them probably think that their vote doesn't make a difference as i hear from a lot of my friends who can vote so that's probably the devil is what happened last election as well i don't think they feel that their voices heard it is one of the reasons that i don't think that they really understand what a difference it makes in our democracy today are you going to vote for sanders or

biden. san is to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i go to. buy the i think as a standard now is leaning more toward sanders now the sanders campaign has been reaching out to younger voters with catchy slogans and internet memes some say this could hurt him with older voters who don't like the resentful towner radicalism coming from the sanders campaign on the other hand it's the younger generation struggling with historic levels of debt and lack of health care who have the most to gain or lose people in my age group younger and older than me like you want people like are working a lot or the rest school or or both they just don't have time for politics and there's also a lot of political apathy student debt but it's also. health care and it's jobs there's a 3 main thing a lot of people in my generation in generations there's almost no future for us a lot of these people who might bite and just want to keep things the way they are

all the old people the old generations they have their pensions they have this and that they don't see anything wrong with anything and i mean no i have to most people think that all the military actions that the u.s. has done in the past 20 years has been justified that's just gives people you know to a lot of middle upper middle class liberal types bitin reminds them of things or everything was fine and back to normal even though for the one or more overwhelming majority of the population of the us things weren't normal for people worst still strikes struggling to get by. well tony sanders doesn't really drop out of the race the democratic party is in the fighting might risk losing crucial votes on american t.v. pundits drew fire on the line for suggesting he'd rather waste her vote than play along with the party establishment maneuvering against son. i don't think it's terrible for progressives. to vote for trump i think that's nuts i would never do that i don't know for sure donald trump either but you can we let the line. here we

go crystal ball saying she will leave it blank in november what an absolute hack this is a really great example of why the privilege an action with all that on the line crystal ball one of the biggest grifters on the scene is using her platform to advocate for trump's reelection just wear a maggot hat and be done with it the behind the scenes though popper of playing out the democratic party has been a gift to a lot of the us news coverage he was stirring suggestions that support the tsongas will only help trump get reelected before month unless his backers are digging in that work using his critics of being more than a little self-serving. i will absolutely not a forward for biden when they try to get into it by saying you must be privileged not to be impacted by transpower since remember they're trying desperately to hang

on to their privileges which they will never ever extend to you the d.n.c. may have just gone triumph reelected make no mistake of biden who is totally demented excites no one and has 0 good poses to offer is the democratic party candidate trying who win reelection all of these are republican party and russian hashtags don't buy into it they're trying to prevent bareness supporters from supporting joe biden so the trump wins in an election he has no chance in legal media commentator lionel says that if saunders his supporters son joe biden party leaders only have themselves to blame. there is a sizable faction and always has been all for the last 2 elections who supported bernie sanders who don't like the fact that bernie sanders has been shown he's been moved out of the way for the 2nd time in a row now they're being told listen shut up vote for the party vote for us vote for

vote how you're told to listen to your elders and what they're doing is they're saying wait a minute this is not my idea of voting remember the lesser of 2 evils is still evil they know they're going to get screwed again and then you have other pundits who somehow have established themselves as being the voice to be the progressive activism or democrats who are saying no if you don't vote for joe biden you were levi a lady hero and they're saying down with your old i'm voting my way that's what's happening. to the heads of the virus talking apps sold to help people keep infections a bank they turn a program we have concerns that that also perhaps covering a little too much private data. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of

the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you that.

welcome back now tech companies have been looking to step up their role in holding the spread of coded 19 various apps of being developed to highlight the increasing risks but critics fear it's at the expense of users privacy here are a couple of examples one application asks for your postal code goes as far as asking about personal hygiene habits others get people to publish their virus like symptoms and create the map of high risk areas based on that data but all that use of personal data could fall foul of laws which heavily restricts the medical data which can be gathered it's illegal to use location data or in any way to track someone who is sick and ploy is also can take random temperature readings of their

staff and they can gather other digital information unless medical professionals are involved or we've been discussing whether data privacy can take a back seat when it comes to exploiting tech to tackle the pandemic. if ups can be made to work in that way where data is anonymised and we can have a service that provides some form of utility to the general population then there is real potential here to to provide a service that would be absolutely necessary in this kind of occasion if people are worried about being surveyed by the state and that's too late the state is surveying everybody and so are private corporations embedded in the state so we take a really security 1st approach that there's no reason why you can't keep the data secure and there's no reason why you can't abide by g.d.p. our dispose of the date data once the. virus is over it is potentially a very a useful tool for dealing with a pandemic like this because we've got all of this communications infrastructure

which was not liking during the black death for example which was allow us to act collectively to protect ourselves it's all a bit hurried we don't have a single focus on a single up we don't actually have the permissions structure we're not able to identify accurately the people who we actually need to track and actually some of the security in the privacy provisions haven't been put in and minded about and if we're going to rush this then the chance of it being secure and everything working accurately is very unlikely to be a sufficient we do need laws to protect the citizens put those laws us to be russian realistic and in the situation like this if you can you can just basically people are being asked to volunteer information about where they've been and what they've done alicia to be any problem in offering the phone to you know legitimate medical personnel so that they can use it to help them fight this crisis. a judge has ordered us army whistleblower chelsea manning to be released from jail

voting to her detention no longer serves any purpose manning had attempted to kill herself on wednesday. manning's appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed in light of which her detention no longer serves any course of purpose the court further finds that in force ment of the accrued conditional fines would not be punitive but rather necessary to the course of purpose of the court's civil contempt order. my leg is still recovering in hospital it's unclear whether manning will be jailed again if he fails to pay the fine she has been in prison things may for a few things testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury earlier was that with a lawyer and that to both kevin if these 3 believe the legal process used against amounting fundamentally unfair well this whole case is an injustice and a violation of her basic human rights the secret grand jury system in the united states is very unfair it only allows the prosecutor in the room with jurors no

defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story that's what manning is protesting really signals where the trouble illustration is going when it comes to julian assange and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against julius. they are not supposed to use the grand jury for the purpose of gathering evidence to prove that indictment but it shows to me that the government is not very confident about the evidence they have or about that indictment they want more. there are few places on earth where a sense of identity is more keenly felt than in jerusalem and the east of the city though that theory among palestinians living at how washington refers to them in a new human rights report they described as our residence or non israeli citizens middle east correspondent paula slater has been gauging reaction in the city.

what's in a name a lot if you live in east jerusalem and a palestinian but washington has decided to simply ditch the palestinian identity of those who live here in east jerusalem the state department now considers them arab residents or non israeli citizens the move has infuriated many with palestinian leaders saying it's an attempt to wipe out their national identity it's just playing with fire and may not as he stands means nothing to us and by the way american don't resent us drama that means nothing to us we out of the old united people of the palestinian and when i say i'm pretty soon in some places they don't like they don't they want us to say we are israelis and if i am palestinian who is trying to say anything this is our land our country our state the state of palestine i'm not going to leave this nationality while freedom fighters here. give some rights to decide our life and he says it's hot air this

land is for the arabs it's our land we were born here in israel this is east jerusalem which israel captured in the 1967 war it's late it makes the area and it moves that is still not recognized internationally more than 360000 palestinians or non israeli citizens live here most of them hold israeli residency permits but very few have israeli citizenship they've long sought to make this area they kept the change in american terminology comes amid increased wrangling over the contested city the american president donald trump's middle east plan says that you recently should remain the softened capital of the state of israel for ever policia east jerusalem political analyst m a r n n television sais jerusalem palestinians could have more political leverage in israel but that would mean accepting israeli citizenship. the residence off.

the palestinian residents could claim israeli citizenship and in debt case they could vote in the elections to the knesset and flip the government from netanyahu to his adversaries but they choose not to do it they choose to remain loyal palestinians and this is where they clash with both the netanyahu government and the trumpet ministration the united states has. used various in order to describe israel the west bank and the gaza strip you can. look it up throughout the years it has changed what you get in touch and share your thoughts on today's stories by following us on social media we love to hear from you but back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines.
