a warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international we mean if you aaron it's great to have you with us our top story u.s. stocks have risen slightly this friday after several wall street indices suffered that worst shocks in decades over fears the coronavirus pandemic is tipping the world up towards recession the bounce back comes after the federal reserve pledged to inject $1.00 trillion dollars into the markets to ease the strain well on thursday they don't jones industrial average fell 10 percent in a single day marking the biggest decline since black monday in 1907 other major american indices also closed significantly lower donald trump gave a rare oval office address to the nation but failed to carmen investors knows 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. on today's boom bust analyse week other experts analysis to try and mark pound whether the stock market really comes to is heading as well as $1000.00 and of not a fun trip 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 really graham 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 volatile 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 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 u.s. 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 it's no 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 a blow after donald trump announced a ban on foreigners flying into the u.s. for most of europe from later this friday public figures aren't immune to the risks that either the canadian prime minister is self isolating for 14 days after his wife tested positive for covert 19 following a trip to the u.k. around the world more than 130000 infections have been registered with the death toll now at 5000 countries 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 the virus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous. reports from paris. with panic in no short supply of virus hearing from some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise being

concocting a variety of scams 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 and when you're out in the pouch touching everything from. 200 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 any the phones don't stop ringing this morning we have the school the town hall the public transport company everybody wants gel we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of an gel exponentially increased the problem was considered serious the french government stepped in to you that today when you take the degree regulating the prices of hygiene. another

'd precaution for many is to do on a face mask a tiny bit of cough 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 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 of masks 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. there are 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 of dog dealings we're talking everything from magical lumps with disinfecting properties to antivirus purifier 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 not physically as we've been told what to believe is a search but the acronym keep it simple stupid and don't get caught and. arty

paris. well here in russia 11 new cases of corona virus have been confirmed bringing the total number of people people infected to 45 across the country officials that the cases involve people who have returned from italy france and austria. the coronavirus crisis is posing unique difficulties for one of greece's smaller outlying islands one case is now being registered on les pauls which is host to a densely packed refugee camp where more than $20000.00 a living and dying conditions evangelise that says 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 or held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people the area is 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 coronavirus around 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 cow. if it gets like italy 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 will happen to them of them ago 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 mightily the whole island of lesbos will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course i'm afraid here we have our homes our farms our jobs there's so 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 big leap virus on the island and jewels are ensuring that nothing of those cases have been confirmed here at camp but as we went around and we spoke to refugees who

are living in this cow for many men. years now they have a different opinion this place but he's also doing a lot of people here now you don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have each year men and women and if. i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention on the virus is already here even if your in the hospital it does not help much because you cannot be cured you know i sleep in a container with other people. because of it 1000 effect is rippling through the u.s. election process to democratic presidential hopeful joe biden and bernie sanders go head to head on sunday another round of debate though and the 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 has also pulled out

over medical concerns as for the candidates themselves saunders has saunders who is now behind by 9 delegates say if he isn't losing momentum. 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 so that disarms this loss of momentum is being blamed partly on his campaign's failure to get enough disaffected young people out to vote caleb maupin 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 he's done just behind your larger goal. of the. 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 samant 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. 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. cause 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 maybe that's what younger people just see there it don't think it's important as are so many people in voting or they just. when i checked into 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. sandy's like to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i go to. buy 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 so 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 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 of all the people the older 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 even 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. if bernie sanders does eventually drop out of the race the

democratic party's infighting might put crucial votes that with come november's election one american t.v. pundit drew a file line for suggesting she'd rather waste her vote and play along with the party establishment maneuvering against standers. 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. a behind the scenes soap opera playing out in the democratic party has been a gift to a lot of the us news coverage was stirring suggestions the support for saunders

will only help get trump reelected they've among senators backers are digging in though accusing his critics of being more than a little self-serving. i will absolutely not default 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 causes 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

and media commentator lionel's they should have thought to support his son joe biden postulate is 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 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 1000 year old i'm voting my way that's

what's happening. so i had the virus tracking apps so to help people keep infections that they later in the program we had concerns that they're also perhaps gathering a little too much private data they change that. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. with the coronavirus now officially declared endemic the world faces the additional burden of an oil market collapse this comes at a time when demand for crude was already some are calling this the ultimate perfect storm how this all. ends.

budget we talk about trouble he's going to demystified so political space if you weren't clear before like these folks are no better than us so you know i you know you can reach out to friends say you know take responsibility maybe run for office and then the day you know i don't see how we've allowed a system where these people get away with you know misrepresenting us why not step up and do it yourself. welcome back tech companies have been looking to step up their role in halting the spread of covert 19 various ops 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 but it goes as far

as asking about personal hygiene habits while others get people who publish the virus like symptoms and create a map of high risk areas based on that they said but all that use of personal data could fulfill all of either laws which heavily restrict which medical data can be gathered for instance it's illegal to use location data in any way to track someone who is sick employers also contact random temperature readings of that stuff and they can gather the digital information unless medical professionals are involved now we've been discussing whether that 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 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 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. the judge has ordered the release of u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning from jail ruling that 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 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 she'll 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 lawyer and activist kevin zeese who believes the legal process used against manning is 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 2 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.

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 that is fairly among palestinians living there and how washington refers to them in a new human rights report that described as an arab residence or non israeli citizens on 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 or not an israeli citizens the move has infuriated many with palestinian leaders saying it's an attempt to wipe out their national identity it's just. as it stands means nothing to us and by the way. it means nothing to us we're out of the old united people of the palestinian and when i say i'm focusing on 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 my. freedom fighters here. give rights to decide. 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 latent mixed area enemies that is still not recognized internationally more than 360000 palestinians or non israeli citizens live here most of them hold israeli residency permits the very few have israeli citizenship they've long sought to make this area the capital the change in american terminology comes amid increased wrangling over the contested says she the american president donald trump's middle east plan says

such a recent him should remain the softened capital of the state of israel for ever. r.t. east jerusalem political analyst m a r n in tel aviv space tourism is palestinians could have more political leverage in israel but that would mean accepting israeli citizenship. the residents off. the palestinian residents could claim israeli citizenship and in that case they could vote in the elections. and flip the government from. adversaries but. choose not to. choose to remain loyal palestinians and this is where they clash with both the government and the. united states has. used various terms in order to describe isro the west bank and the gaza strip you can. look it up

throughout the years it has changed. thanks for joining us here on out the international web and with the latest headlines and 30 minutes. good food descriptions sound up the even for the owners so how to choose his pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be associate people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating

these problems and it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle with the coronavirus now officially declared a pandemic the world faces the additional burden of an oil.
