warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nicky airing our top story this hour global stocks plunged on thursday with a number of markets seeing their biggest share price crashes in decades in the u.s. the federal reserve moved to pump in emergency loans to ease the strain as investors panicked over the impact of the coronavirus pandemic the benchmark dow jones industrial average fell 10 percent in a single day marking the biggest decline since black monday in 1987 other major american indices also closed significantly lower on our truck gave a rare oval office address to the nation but failed to calm investors nerves about the economic damage kovac 19 is causing. this is not a financial crisis this is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as

a world in today's boom bust of r.t. we gather expert analysis to try and map out where the stock market rollercoaster is heading as well as covert 19 another factor at play is oil which is seeing a price drop on supplies. this is the beginning of the greatest financial crisis in u.s. history the financial crisis of us of 2008 will pale in comparison as will the severity of this recession the summer when we look back to these numbers it's going to look externally graeme i think i differ with with my friend peter is actually think it's possible that we could get out of this thing pretty quickly come the fall in the winter i think peter has a bit of an apocalyptic view talk about the coronavirus that's not the problem no the coronavirus is just the pin the debt bubble is the problem it doesn't matter the coronavirus can be cured the damage is already done the debt bubble is imploding you know if it wasn't a coronavirus it would have been something else this bubble has been looking for in

3 years and it finally found one the u.s. 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 in 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 for us as 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 travel is also being dealt

a blow off that donald trump announced a ban on foreigners flying into the us from most of europe from late to this friday public figures aren't immune to the risks neither the canadian prime minister is self isolating for 14 days after as well. tested positive for covert 19 following a visit to the u.k. around the world more than 130000 infections have been registered with the death toll now at 5000 countries that are clamping down on people mixing in public schools and workplaces are being shuttered and major sports fixtures postponed but with anxiety spreading just as fast virus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous astrology of course from paris. with panic in no short supply coronavirus hearing from some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise have been concocting a variety of scams a to make a quick buck now we're all well aware that the 1st line of defense against the

virus is told watch on her ends when you're out in the boat touching everything from door to handrails to picking up things in shops it's a bit difficult to run into a bathroom and just 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 dawn a face mask

a tiny bit of coffee covering your mouth and is this season's must have it seems their face mask took over paris fashion week so if you have the money instead of paying a couple of viewers. one you can spend thousands if you like except that the type of mask available over the counter or even from a renowned fashion 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 world 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 spoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete face covering in public spaces police investigation found the d.'s police were pretending to be police wearing a mask for health reasons is absolutely not illegal. there are trying to pick on the weak and 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 so

been registered are less spots which is host to a densely packed refugee camp where more than 20000 to live and die conditions evangelos tips as has been speaking to some of the island. i'm standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the listless reese were about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people area it's not the best when it comes to fighting in the conditions are not the ideal for people living in such a small area but now with the spread of the corona virus a relic of the world a lot of the people are concerned he went around and spoke to the locals to see what they had to say about a fear of a virus like that spreading among the camp and this is what. if it gets like it too it 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 but one of the feel unloved infection spread further you can imagine what would happen if they put went

in with them i go there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will merely be maria that's affected but also my telling the whole island of lesbos 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's us who are dealing with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a bid leaf iris on the island and jewels are ensuring that nothing of those cases have been confirmed here at the moria camp but as we went around it we spoke to refugees who are living in the scalp for many many years now they have a different opinion this place like witnessed. a lot of people here and now i don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have it's young men and the men on the. list i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention but these kind of viruses over as you hear 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 other people but. the curve of 19 effect is ripping through the u.s. election process 2 democratic presidential hopefuls joe biden and bernie sanders go head to head on sunday and another round of debates though under serious restrictions not only is the debate being moved from arizona to washington d.c. there will also be no studio audience one of the moderators is also pulled out over medical concerns for the candidates themselves sunders who's now behind biden on delegates sais 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

was going to some says loss of momentum is being blamed partly on his campaign's failure to get enough disaffected young people out so vote kellam open explains why . 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 just yet now sanders says his campaign actually has the upper hand over his rival when it comes to the youth but it isn't just behind your larger goal. of the. there's a 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 67000000 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. navy 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. because it doesn't make any sense to pose the most to the kinds of the. people sometimes the lines are really long but. not as long as adults knew that's what younger people just either don't think it's important as are some 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 these as what 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. sand is to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i go to go. by the i think as i stand right 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 to 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 over the 3 main thing a lot of people in my generation in generations they are there's almost no future for us

a lot of these people who might bite him 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 already being in our 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 right it 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. struggling to get by. well if buddy sanders does eventually drop out of the race the democratic party's infighting might push crucial votes at risk come november's election when american t.v. pundit drew file a line for suggesting she'd rather waste her vote than play along with the party establishment smeared over and against funders. 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 her donald trump either but you can we let blind here we go crystal ball saying she will leave it blank in november what an absolute hack this is a really great example of white privilege in 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 soap opera playing out of the democratic party has been a gift to a lot of the us news coverage here are stirring suggestions their support for saunders will only help trying to get reelected they belong senators back is back as the digging in the work using his critics of being more than a little self-serving. i will absolutely not forward for biden when they try to get into it by saying you must be privileged not to be impacted by

trump's policies 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 pauses to offer is the democratic party candidate trying will 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. media commentator lionel says that if sounds to support his son joe biden possibly it is only have themselves to blame there is a sizable faction and always has been or for the last 2 elections who supported bernie sanders who don't like the fact that bernie sanders has been shown that 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

a 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 violating your oath and they're saying down with your old i'm voting my way that's what's happening. to the hatch the virus tracking app still to help people keep infections that day later in the program we had concerns that they're also perhaps got i'm going to talk too much private data stay tuned for that.

we have to realize we are all living on a small fragile spaceship together and it's really no different than a bunch of people in a harsh environment trying to rely on each other to survive we are interconnected on this planet we rely on each other to around the world to survive as a species. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or remain in the shallowness. welcome back tech companies have been looking to step up their role in halting the spread of covert 19 various apps have been developed to highlight the increasing risks but critics fear it's at the expense of users privacy now here are a couple of examples one application asks for your postal code it goes as far as asking about personal hygiene habits while others get people to publish their virus that like symptoms and creates a map of high risk areas based on that data birdsall that use of personal data could fall foul of e.u. laws which are heavily restrict which medical data can be gathered it's illegal for example to use location data in any way to trunk someone who is sick employers also

can't take random temperature readings of their staff and they can't 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 anonymous 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 but the laws us to be russian were realistic and in the situation like this if you can you could have. basically people being asked to volunteer information about where they've been and what they've done a little should 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 the release of u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning from jail who never had a tension 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 enforcement 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 link is still recovering in hospital it's unclear whether manning will be jailed again if she fails to pay the fine she's been in prison since may of last year for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury earlier we spoke with a lawyer and activist kevin zeese who believes the legal process used against manning is fundamentally unfair and this whole case is an injustice and a violation of our 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 songe 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. than a few places on earth where a sense of identity is more keenly felt than in jerusalem in the east of the city though there is fury among palestinians living there at how washington refers to them in any given rights reports they're described as arab residence or not in the israeli citizens. spondon paula 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 the resent us from that means nothing to us we out of the old united people of the palestinians 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 by mother leave this nationality while freedom fighters here. give 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 your recent him should remain the softened capital of the state of israel for ever policia east jerusalem political analyst amir oren in tel aviv say that jerusalem's palestinians could have more political leverage in israel but that would mean accepting israeli citizenship. the residents all. jerusalem the palestinian residents

could claim israeli citizenship and in death 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. and this is where they clash with both the netanyahu government and the trumpet in this race for 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 thanks to chasing off the international went back to that same minutes with the latest headline.
