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 well bucks in the world health organization's will the $1000.00 cases of being recorded in europe each and every day than in china at the height of the. it's direct to general cold on countries that rule to take aggressive measures to slow the spread of the illness. europe has now become the epicenter of the pandemic with more reported cases and there's this than the rest of the world combined apart from china more cases of now being reported every day than were reported in china at the highest of its epidemic at the height of its appeal to me. well before the worrying announcement for europe u.s.

a tiny. but a 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 all 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

1:10 pm
to bring the total number of people infected to 45 across this vast country officials said the cases involved people who'd return from italy france and austria . the coronavirus crisis is posing unique difficulties for want to greece's smaller outlying islands one case has now been registered on possible that's big news of course it's host a densely packed refugee camp where more than 20000 the living in dire conditions of has been speaking to some of the islanders there but the fear is that. i'm standing here in front of the refugee camp in the list recent where about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people the area is 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 spoke to the locals. see what
1:11 pm
he had to see a lot of fear of a virus like that spreading that. if it gets like italy will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is beautifully managed 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 to. them there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will only 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 they see 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 deadly virus on the island. ensuring that nothing of those cases had been confirmed here at camp but as we went around it we spoke to refugees swore living
1:12 pm
in this camp many many years now they have a different opinion displaced slaves but at least. a lot of people here you don't know we saw somebody told me that 2 people have it so yes. i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention these kind of viruses or words 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. is crim from is it will take companies or look at me time to step up their role in holding the spread of covert 19 various apps are being developed to highlight the increasing risks but experts fear it's at the expense of users privet see if you go to the else to worry about here are some examples what we're talking about one application else for your postal code but then goes as far as to ask about your personal hygiene habits those get people to publish their virus like symptoms and they create maps of the high risk areas based
1:13 pm
on data a good idea or bad. dia well all the use of personal data could fall foul of the you lou laws for a start which heavily restrict which medical data can be gathered it's illegal for instance to use location data in any way to track someone who is sick employers also can't take random temperature readings of this stuff and i can't gather other digital information unless medical professionals are involved but we've been discussing whether the data privacy can take a back seat here or not 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
1:14 pm
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 that those laws have to be rational realistic and in the situation like this if you can you could have. basically people being asked to volunteer information about where the bit and what
1:15 pm
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. right some other news now iraq's foreign minister is some of the british american ambassadors for questioning after u.s. led air strikes allegedly left 6 iraqis dead early on friday morning the pentagon claims it was targeting the around back to type of hezbollah militia which is accused of carrying out a deadly rocket attack against coalition personnel 2 days. earlier. the foreign minister held an emergency meeting in which the ministries and the secretaries advisors and official spokesman discuss the measures regarding the recent american aggression he has ordered the summoning of the united states and british ambassadors to baghdad. the u.s. claims it strikes targeted 5 where planes storage facilities belonging to the shia parliamentary group the iraqi authorities though say no they killed 3 regular soldiers 2 police officers in the civilian and unfinished civilian airport in the
1:16 pm
holy city of karbala was also damaged the attacks have triggered protests in the capital and i think ahead are there let me about it we condemned the attacks unpopular move wise ation threw us aside from the rock iraq has become a war zone for internal and external wars america in the run of fighting one of them threatens to be out there and ultimately iraqis are the ones who for victim. schools are being settled between america and around and it is happening on our soil it while later also rinty it while it's our right now we are calling for the united nations to intervene. but. i am surprised that the government is ignoring such actions if you condemn both sides iran and america their actions violate iraq's sovereignty which has become a joke among countries in the region and around the world. dr ahmed rashid is a foreign policy advisor to the iraqi parliament he told us that the ongoing u.s.
1:17 pm
military presence is proving to be extremely harmful for his country. its ties the iraq it's also a job or ties the life of iraqis but us not forget the american attacks actually killed the iraqis just civilians and policeman so at the end iraqis always are the victims i don't think the americans will withdraw it will not happen by themselves what the actually they paid with trillions of dollars since 2003 it's it's not it's my thought is that there is no sense of draw from iraq without getting anything from iraq it can be happen if the iraqi political blocs and the iraqi people united together and say to to iran and to the united states ok that's it we will not accept you what you are destroying our country you are killing our civilians so of that way i think only on that way we can change the situation in iraq. breaks the white house the u.s. democrats race to name
1:18 pm
a presidential candidates been pora hold the state of louisiana becoming the 1st to perspire on its primary over the coronavirus fears it's still going to be on the cards though hopefuls joe biden and bernie sanders will go head to head this sunday in another t.v. debate but with serious restrictions not only is the debate being moved from arizona to washington d.c. the law's a big no studio audience lot of shows in the us like that at the moment one of the moderators is also pulled over medical concerns as for the candidates themselves sanders says no trailing well behind biden believes he is still in with a chance. 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 although senator sanders company has been
1:19 pm
praised for reaching out to disaffected young people he still needs to do much better in the remaining primaries if he wants to turn his fortunes around caleb maupin explains why tonight 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 is not just the ideological debate. oh this is what. 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
1:20 pm
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
1:21 pm
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 close the most the defense 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 employ. because there so if people voting or they just. don't 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. sand is to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i go
1:22 pm
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 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 those are 3 main thing to a lot of people in my generation in generations there's almost no future for us a lot of these people who might buy it in 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
1:23 pm
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. so if bernie sanders does eventually drop out of the race the democratic party's infighting might put crucial votes at risk november's election one american t.v. pundit drew fire online for jesting she'd rather waste a vote than play along with the party establishment maneuvering against sanders. i don't think it's terrible for progressives threaten 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 live line here we go crystal ball saying she will leave it blank in november
1:24 pm
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 there are the same soap opera playing at the democratic party has been a gift to a lot of us news coverage is stirring suggestions that support for sanders well ollie helped trump get reelected the vermont senator's backers a digging in though against accusing his critics a big war the little self-serving there. i will absolutely not vote 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
1:25 pm
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. that's good thoughts from line a leader in the legal commentator lionel says that if sound of supporters shun joe biden party leaders only got themselves to blame then 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 a shout of 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 i vote for vote how you're told to listen to your elders and what they're doing is they're
1:26 pm
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 of either progressive activism or democrats who are saying no if you don't fall for it 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 in. the few places on earth her sense of identity is will keenly felt that in jerusalem in the east of the city though the few remaining palestinians living there and how washington is referring to them right now in a new report a human rights report that described as arab residents or northern israeli citizens or middle east correspondent paula sleeze been gauging more reaction to that than 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
1:27 pm
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 resent us from iran that means nothing to us we out of the old united people of the palestinians when i say i'm pretty soon going 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 some rights to decide our life and he says it's hot air this land is for the arabs it's
1:28 pm
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 the capital 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 little oren in tel aviv told us jerusalem is palestinians could have more political leverage in israel that would mean accepting israeli citizenship. the residents off east jerusalem the palestinian residents could claim israeli citizenship and in
1:29 pm
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 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 well that's it for the zoo phenomenon is kevin any remorse thanks ever so much as ever for watching hubby stick around after the break as we talked about on the show earlier on boom bust on the guys tonight trying to get a handle on where those markets may be going or no anytime soon in the wake of the big coronavirus disruptions coming up after this break.
