we need to be reached. at least the full power of the federal government to this effort today i am officially declaring a national emergency. the u.s. steps up its response to thwart the spread of the corona virus following countries across europe and asia. the trumpet ministration also seeks to restrict magical imports from china which could cause prices to rocket. and a full thought whistleblower rounds of the chemical weapons watchdog and banks who might call me claiming mistreatment and mismanagement to the investigation of an alleged attack in syria 2 years ago.

midday here in moscow where if you are in the wild thanks for your company. paul let's start with something that's just commented development in fact in iraq iraq is security officials all reported as saying that a bar was also rockets has hit a base housing u.s. troops in the 2nd attack on the same facility this week an assault on wednesday saw 3 coalition puss in all killed and a u.s. reprisal on friday strikes killed 6 iraqis infuriating iraqi leaders who intend to raise that with the u.n. security council the british and american ambassadors have both been summoned for questioning in baghdad iraq says washington's actions will have a definite effect on relations. the u.s. bombing of government security in civilian headquarters undermines counterterrorism efforts and disrupt the agreement between iraq and the global coalition while the

pentagon claims it was targeting the iran backed hezbollah militia which it accuses of carrying out wednesday's deadly rocket attack against the coalition personnel that i just mentioned the u.s. has said it's retaliatory strikes waned it taking out 5 of the power military groups weapons storage facilities in response to this attack on an iraqi base that hosts coalition forces supporting the iraqi fight against isis we carried out precision defensive strikes to degrade and destroy it vance conventional weapons that have been provided to keep his ball and by there are any and backers we are in iraq to support the people of iraq in their fight against isis however we always reserve the right to defend our forces whenever they're attacked or threaten their walk your forty's those saves so-called precision strikes actually killed 3 government soldiers and 2 police officers as well as a civilian and up or under construction in the city of karbala was also damaged the

attacks have been met with anger in the capital. think ahead. we condemned the attacks on popular move through society and the rock iraq has become a war zone for internal and external wars american the run the fighting one of them threatens the other ultimately iraqis are the ones who victim. schools are being settled between america and the round and it is happening now soil it while it 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 rushdie is a foreign policy advisor to the iraqi parliament he told us that this ongoing u.s. military presence is proving to be extremely harmful for his country it's

jeopardize the iraq it's also a job but as the life of iraqis but let's not forget the american attacks actually killed iraqis just civilians and policeman so i think you're right it's always the victims i don't think the americans will withdraw it will not happen by themselves what they actually they paid trillions of dollars since 2003 it's it's not it's my thought is that there is no sense of withdraw 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 iran and to the united states ok that said we will not accept you where 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. try to keep developing several countries declared an emergency on friday in

response to the covert 1000 pandemic. spain joined neighboring european nations which is struggling with containment massa's the us has limited for example travel from europe as well the restrictions would also affect minute to pasta now that's according to the pentagon while donald trump has announced the u.s. is stepping up its risk level and response to unleash the full power of the federal government the for today i am officially declaring a national emergency. 2 very big words. the action i am taking will open up access to up to $50000000000.00 of. very importantly for. a large amount of money for states and territories are loco that is in our shared fight against this disease and we heard from trump you speaking in the white house rose garden surrounded by mike pence and other officials explaining the dramatic measures now being taken in the united states in response to the corona

virus outbreak now when trump declared a national emergency that freed up roughly $50000000000.00 worth of funds that he can then use to take action and and set things up now trump describes how they are setting up these drive through testing centers that are being set up around the country in which people are able to be tested they don't get out of their car they just drive up they'll be tested and then drive away and that way they're not getting out of their car there's no danger of them spreading it in the area in which the test is taking place trouble also took the opportunity to tout his travel ban to the european union a band that has been criticized you know many pointed out it doesn't apply to certain countries but regardless trump touted it and said it was an absolutely necessary measure and talked about the need for closing the borders and why closing the borders is very very important in a situation like this now trump was the only one who spoke and we also heard from different officials quite interesting remarks but it appears that in addition to

the. measures that are being taken on a local level here in new york city and different parts of the country we see local states of emergency being declared local dramatic measures being taken states have schools closed their schools you know public events are being canceled all throughout the united states new york city at this point has outlawed any gathering of more than 500 people broadway has been closed down in addition to these local measures we now have the federal government of the united states under the leadership of president donald trump declaring a national emergency on a federal level and action is being taken a number of u.s. corporations such as wal-mart and others were listed by the president as being involved in the efforts to to fight against run a virus and get us through this crisis here in the united states. so this whole coronavirus crisis has seen president spinal patootie to boost sales for the pharmaceuticals industry at home but his push to buy american could hit consumers

in the pocket as don't explain. it's too little too late for donald trump's ban on european visitors panic has already set in and hordes of coronavirus doomsday preppers are already raiding supermarket shelves. but. what they want to. corona virus has already spread to well over 100 countries and territories worldwide pandemic according to the u.n. it doesn't care about your race creed or class even millionaires like tom hanks and his wife announced they have fallen ill and while china's all but got its own coronavirus situation under control washington still putting most of the blame for everything and anything connected to the pandemic on china the one virus that began

at the end of last year you called it the womb on virus chinese communist party has said that this is where the virus started china has unleashed this plague on the entire world through their dishonesty and their lack of transparency and corruption at it rather than using best practices this outbreak and why it was covered up you'd think they'd understand that being the origin of a pandemic was out of beijing's control but while washington continues to throw shade it's forgotten one crucial point pretty much all u.s. antibiotics vitamin c. pills 1st aid supplies are supplied by chinese companies america's basically pharmaceutically dependent on china if china banned the experts of drugs the u.s. would sink into the how of the novel coronavirus at the demick and that's given washington more than just the coronavirus to panic about i think it's been clear for a while now that we are far too reliant on china for domestic production especially

for essential products there we rely on and of course our medical supply chain is. the very top of that list the corona virus outbreak has made clear we must combat america's supply chain vulnerabilities and dependence on china and critical sectors of our economy the coronavirus crisis puts into sharp focus the unacceptable dependence of the u.s. on china for critical medicines and their ingredients by american trend has gained new traction as a result trumps trade advisories even suggesting a change in federal law that would force the feds to buy from american companies if we have strong buy american procurement that will establish a robust base level of demand that provides the appropriate incentives for our pharmaceutical manufacturers to invest and locate domestically worried yet with all of big pharma profit making schemes in the past the outrageous lifelong cost of hiv treatment in the u.s. spiking the prices of insulin it doesn't take an economist to wonder how the

already high price of drugs might skyrocket the destruction of the supply chain is what drives them work it down we have you know short many of these production of items not maybe the product itself but maybe a component of the product that's very basic and anyway come to united states to get more you know manufacture so clearly it underlines how vulnerable we are as a 1st world country you know in china to produce these basic products so while you and i see the coronavirus pandemic as a tragedy of world significance big business will try every which way to turn it into a profit making extravaganza for themselves of course whenever there's a crisis someone is always there to make some money off it come on you know now you're going to start seeing people going to be at home you're going to see netflix go up or other you know online it watching platforms hulu or whatever the case might be and same thing with medications. and noble stock

markets recovered slightly on friday after suffering the biggest drop in. the route so the wild 20 wealthiest people collectively lose $8000000000.00 in that in that while as for others with plenty of money in the bank well it seems that more than keen to use that cash to keep coronavirus. you know. you're putting extra resources into recruiting elite educators able to provide interim private tutoring as demand is high this is driving up to their salaries and

tuition prices. members who are travelling commercial at using to book elite services a day are boards not your typical 1st class lounge for example private terminals chicken customs and security members can request for the jetted to be cleared so they minimize the interactions with other best injures on their way to their seat.

because the ration tends to be very effective into any virus i see super rich will be less effective than the rest of us simply because they have the means to us and much more to rise to get much more. large scale ways united states charges people. thousands of dollars for corona virus tests and surely doesn't have enough tests to go around for some reason they have tests available for the richest people and at the same time as so many people are worried about whether or not they're going to have to miss work mississippi chad what they're going to do with child care because so many schools are closing all these problems meanwhile you have people spending millions of dollars to go abroad to go to private islands to go to private doctors things that the vast majority of people 10 office order and i do think it will continue to polarize society because this is a vast equality or inequality that hasn't been seen in american history and it's

just a teeny to get worse. anxiety here for infections is also impacting people's eating habits a round at the wild not because dine as well they feel the appetite for heading out to restaurants is adding reports next from london. london is one of the world's top food capitals with eateries offering cuisine from every country you can imagine chinese on the telly and food are among the more popular choices but as with almost every other aspect of everyday life coronavirus has disrupted the restaurant industry google trends data shows that interest in the secrecy and has plummeted since the crisis began from the beginning of the year interest in chinese food has fallen by 33 percent globally by 34 percent in the u.k. this restaurant and so whose famous chinatown was once thriving in crowded now the tables are empty. we are already. the restaurant. for example if

a week you need to queue our own tend to favor him a nice if we can do you have to queue our own for 30 minutes and waste all the right reasons but there are serious 1st case come from the u.k. we immediately have to come so late for all of us to to leave the reference and maybe one weeks later since the corner of our. we lost our own think to preach on. until no wrong maybe 6 weeks we lost our wrong 68 percent forward to our normal feast days i was no lock down you know but we still lost a lot of business and italian restaurants tell the same sad story as italy has been on the forefront of the fight with coronavirus interest has plunged by 24 percent globally by 10 percent in the u.k. and again that's had a devastating impact as businesses which did a brisk trade in pieces and past is now struggling to get by the people don't

know how to stop these things so the only ways they home. in the business that go down down down i don't know how we're going to reach the end of the month i don't know how. we how we don't know. we're not working enough to keep it open every day in the morning in the beginning of the week in the morning most of the week we have clothes we feel we. saw now the weather is strange and we supposed to get. there is nothing as you can see there where i sit on the launch i mean when i say that. the launch doesn't about up and we are in the standalone the story is one of the main street between. where. there is and nothing is so struggling the people are scared to stay around you know we all slum that is what they make of the corona juice anxiety love italian food

but they don't get. any telly and restaurant no more what they want to do the display was people are afraid to being around people so your driver 400 years have you noticed recently that the business is quiet. one is going down and down because people are scared. of herring chinatown you can see this weekend nobody's here and then like months ago full of people here will put you off eating at restaurants until you think it's. actually a different. thing. i think if you with. and if you could have so since it is just sad i tell you when it's time. to slightly ok we're hungry we'll get in the restaurant and that's probably every day as more countries inevitably go to war with 19 in the u.k.

faces the prospect of an italy style complete looks maybe more than just the once popular italian and chinese restaurants that see the trade devastated. another whistle blow it. calling out the international chemical weapons watchdog is now the 4th person in just a matter of months costing doubt on the investigation into the alleged chemical attack in syria's duma back in 20 the anonymous employee describes an atmosphere of fear within the organization. working in the organization has been knowing open and the cause of deep professional shame when i became aware of how a key element of the organization was and clearly continues to be mismanaged i am one of many who was stunned and frightened into silence by the reality of how the organization operates the threat of personal harm is not an illusion or else many others would have spoken out by now 2 of the former experts earlier came forward to

denounce the report on and they're legit chemical attack in duma in syria where the organization found the government guilty of using chemical weapons against civilians but former employees though said they took part in the investigation on the ground and they claimed evidence that suggested the attack could not have been conducted as described in the report which undermines its conclusions others have claimed the attack may even have been staged. for the denies the accusations insisting there is no evidence to support those 'd claims back in february a 3rd person came forward accusing the organization of attempting to smear its former employees well this latest whistleblower has now strongly criticized his behavior the mistreatment of 2 highly regarded an accomplished professionals can only be described as a parent i fully support their endeavors russia is now calling on the watchdog to

not be so hasty and just dismissing these claims. of particular interest is the fact that this whistleblower unlike the other 3 whistleblowers is possibly a current employee at the o.p.c. w. technical secretariat and is watching this unfolding mess in the hague 1st hand we hope that the mounting criticism of the technical secretariat from the people concerned over the o.p.c. w.'s health will not be left on he did was for whistleblowers to become increasingly difficult for them to say that they are wrong sick senator and of course we would hope maybe even more whistleblowers would come out at this time this is a classic problem of powerful entities and especially if they are lying to the u.s. government and they think that oh we're being protected by you know powerful entities so that we need to go along and you know let's just hope that there is

more integrity and more that the integrity that the 4 whistleblowers have shown let's just hope that they can muster more people with that kind of integrity again to fix this organization which is really needed in the world. the european story now for you to swedish nurses who say they would denied jobs as midwives because of their religious beliefs have failed to get that case hudd by the european court of human rights it declined to take up the case saying that sweden had in fact acted lawfully. the court observes the sweden provides nationwide abortion services and therefore has a positive obligation to organize his health system to ensure the effective exercise of freedom of conscience of health professionals does not prevent the provision of search services the us has retrained as midwives but refused to carry out abortions because of their christian faith swedish law actually requires midwives to carry out that procedure the women how to read the last several court

battles against the authorities saying they suffered discrimination but that case is dividing opinion. it is not a human right for nurses stuff to refuse to provide care this is an important decision that in the long term will help to protect women's health who i do good quality care and to be treated was respect when seeking an abortion we are very disappointed by the court's decision not to take up the cases medical professionals should be able to work without being forced to choose between their deeply held convictions and their careers i think that the owner of a hospital has every right to hire or fire somebody that is will is not willing to do something that they want that person to provide so for example somebody owns a hospital they can say i want every doctor here to be willing to provide an abortion and there's only hire doctors rule and provide an abortion but the idea that the government should step in and tell that hospital owner that he can't hire who ones and that people can't act according to convicted could do their

convictions is just a basic violation of personal sovereignty if you as a person have a conviction that life is precious and worthy of protection and that to be saved and that you are doing your job because you believe just that then the profession should make accommodation for that there are many medics around the world as and indeed just as these midwives themselves say who went into the profession who chooses profession because that all about life they're all about saving life not about ending life and the very nature of abortion ends life. and what's described as francis was to have a child sex abuse scandal a retired sergeant's gone on trial accused of abusing hundreds of children many alleged victims have come forward including the doctor's 2 nieces.

i think when he arrived in the hospital the authorities i don't know at what level were already aware of this and no one intervened to prevent him from being recruited to them and so. if it's not his family who revealed the less chronic problem it's a little 5 year old girl who was raped in her own garden shed light on one of the biggest sexual predators one of the biggest pedophiles in french criminal history surely.

you can. divorce it could he acknowledges deviant behavior and he doesn't dispute the possession of child pornography but he denies acts of penetration to prevent his paedophilia from getting out he locked himself up cut all social ties his only obsession with his collection of images and this need to put his fantasies on paper . what's a quick reminder of the breaking news from iraq that we started with security officials all reported as saying that i fire all shelves rockets has hit a base housing u.s. and other coalition troops and that's the 2nd attack on the same. that you just this week the assault on wednesday saw 2 american service members on one british

soldier killed the u.s. retaliated with a strike supposedly on friday against a pro a rainy and militia group but the iraqi military says the counter strike killed one civilian and 5 security personnel. and all the way around the world egypt was storms in decades all thought to have killed at least 20 people many of the deaths are being attributed to collapsed buildings road oxidant sounds in that. flooding has severely affected transport links and many states are without power. across in south america and on public gatherings in chile house and crowds from driving dates the president quitting to quit widespread i'm go for inequality to push for constitutional reform have seen months of on rust violence at the netas process so riot police respond with take us to common.

and it's nice treats maybe desire to because of the coronavirus to use but they are not silent as you can see nationwide musicians are taking to the knees in a flash mall to break in. as people pick off an instrument bust into song and lift the spirits will stop. that's it for now i'll be back in 2 minutes time in the mean time and check out our facebook twitter instagram pages and let us know what you think. this 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 deny us so you know i you
