hello there just 1 pm saturday night here in moscow welcome to the program live from the r.t. international world news center it's kevin owen here for next 30 minutes for the latest headline updates great you chose to watch as tonight's pretty shaded 1st here coronavirus again sadly several countries in the last 24 hours as you probably know of declared emergency in response to the covert 900 pandemic spain joint neighboring european nations now which is struggling with containment measures and the u.s. in a big move limited travel from europe the struction is also fake military personnel there according to the pentagon and donald trump notes the u.s. is stepping up its risk level in 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 or look at these 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 trump 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 wasn't the only one who spoke and we also heard from different officials quite interesting remarks but it appears that in addition to measures that are being taken on a local level here in new york city in different parts of the country we see local state of emergency being declared local dramatic measures being taken states have school 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 . 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 iran

a virus and get us through this crisis here in the united states well this crisis is seen prism trim spa an opportunity to boost sales for the pharmaceuticals industry a home but his push to buy american could hit consumers in the pocket as dylan cool to explain next. 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 the world. 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 americas 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 that 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 the work 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 to go see netflix co-op or

other you know online watching platforms hulu or whatever the case might be and same thing with medications. is an age old thing that isn't it well on the money side of this global stock markets recovered slightly on friday after suffering the . drop in 30 years the rope saw the world's 20 as wealthy people collectively lose nearly $80000000000.00 in their net worth as for others have plenty of money in the bank seems that they're more than keen to use their cash to try to keep coronavirus at bay. you know. if. you're putting

extra resources into recruiting and lead educators able to provide an interim private tutoring test amanda's high this is driving up to their salaries and tuition prices. you know. members who are traveling commercial at using to elite services a day or 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 all their best injures on their way to their seat.

because the ration tends to be very active intending virus i think the super rich will be less effective than the rest of us simply because they have the means to us in much more to rise to much more. large scale plagues united states charges people die. thousands of dollars for corona virus tests and surely doesn't have enough tests to go around for some reason they have tests of richest people and at the same time as so many people are worried about whether or not they're going to ask where a check for they're going to do about child care because so many schools are closing all these problems meanwhile you have people spending millions of dollars to go to go to private islands to go to. private doctor things that the vast

majority of people can almost order and i do think it will continue to polarize society because this is a vastly quality inequality that hasn't been seen in american history and it's just continuing to get worse. well here let's talk about let's talk about how it's affecting people the minimum wage 0 contracts 0 is contract success of people in the hospitality industry anxiety over infections is also impacting people's eating habits around the world is done is avoid restaurants and cafes and a huge effect in london as you're about to see isa running reporting next from the british capital london is one of the world's top food capitals with eateries offering cuisine from every country you can imagine chinese in the tightly in 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 on this i mean we are. be the referee. for them every week you need to kill our own person to favor him a nice if we can do you have to kill our own for 30 minutes and raise all of the referees in this other cities force the case. from the u.k. we immediately have to come so late for all of the reference and maybe one weeks later since. we lost our own think to return. until now a wrong maybe 6 weeks we lost our wrong 6080 percent over that our normal feast days i would know lockdown you learned but we still lost

a lot of business and italian restaurants tell the same 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 pastors are now struggling to get by the people don't know how do these things so the only way home. the business go. 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 you know we feel we. saw now the weather is change we supposed to get . there is nothing as you can see there where i sit on the launch i mean i don't

want to say that. about up but we had in the standalone these reserving story is one of the main street between. us where. there is nothing is so struggling that 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 the immediately investor and know more of what they will do to the display was people afraid to being around people so you. driver 400 years didn't have you notice recently that the business is quiet. why is it going down and down because people are scared they are scared of hearing chinatown you can see this weekend nobody's here and then like months ago for the people here would put you off eating at restaurants do you think say and actually are different and say here in this i think if you put that. and i think that people that are

kind of success with this is just sad i tell you when it's time to say. it's lovely ok so i'm here when we are hungry will get in the restaurant probably every day as more countries inevitably go to war with covert 19 and the u.k. faces the prospect of an italy style complete knocked down maybe more than just the once popular italian and chinese restaurants that see the trade devastated east london. comes where the news of the saturday night next the u.s. military is confirmed that a barrage of rockets have hit a base housing american and other coalition troops near baghdad in the 2nd such attack on the facility this week spokes person said on saturday that 3 coalition personnel and 2 iraqi soldiers have been wounded in the incident now the 1st bombardments which it can't tell she on wednesday left 2 american service personnel and one british soldier dead that triggered retaliatory u.s.

airstrikes against an iranian linked shia militia but according to the iraqi authorities 5 regular military personnel and one civilian were killed baghdad says there will be consequences for relations with washington after it. the u.s. bombing of government security and civilian headquarters undermines counterterrorism efforts and disrupt the agreement between iraq and the global coalition. the pentagon claims it was targeting the iran but hezbollah militia with the aim of taking out 5 of the group's 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 could buy 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 threatened but iraq's president said those strikes which also badly

damaged an airport being built in the holy city of karbala amounted to a violation of his country's sovereignty he also suggested that such attacks by undermining the iraqi state could risk an i still receive to the u.s. reprisals also met with anger in the capital baghdad. and i think i had to marvel at the about it as we condemned the attacks on popular movie is a synthesis sites in the rock iraq has become a war zone for internal and external wars and now rick in the run of fighting one of them threatens to be out there and ultimately iraqis are the ones so for the victims that. schools are being settled between america and iran and it is happening now soil it violates. it while it's how right now we are calling for the united nations to intervene. but. i am surprised that the government is ignoring such action 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. middle east expert at risk told us that despite donald trump's and intervention his campaign promises he doesn't see u.s. troops withdrawing from iraq any time soon from the beginning truck looking about the necessity to withdraw from an endless war he attempted to draw down on the troopers and that syria is now made an agreement with the top of the post. but iraq is the one place in the middle east we're trying as not. to troop withdrawals or troop reduction and i think a lot of that may be used related to the oil iraq use every country in iraq is a special case. with that in mind i think that will try as much as possible to keep the american troops in iraq but it is expected that the americans will face more and more of these attacks because the bombings of the bases all the iraqi actions

don't work that these groups from launching more attacks targeting american bases. defying a ban on mass gatherings aimed at containing the coronavirus hundreds of yellow vest activists nonetheless a been out protesting the french capital this saturday it's the 70th consecutive week of anti-government demonstrations and the latest rally is already seen scuffles with police. please please. on friday the french government banned all gatherings exceeding 100 people to try to prevent the spread of the deadly virus but let's not stop as you can see a graphic to see this week's protests with the demonstrators saying they want the president looks wrong to realize they simply haven't gone away around 2000 police

officers have been deployed to disperse the activists rally comes a day before french voters head to the polls to vote in local elections which is still going ahead despite the ongoing medical issues. so it's international still to come another whistle blower steps out of the shadows with allegations against international chemical weapons watchdog more of the latest claims against the o.p.c. deadly then after this break. max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival. by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right.

to protect yourself and get in for. you see every passage is a death of something all passages involve some kind of conflict between where one is trying to reconstitute the old way of doing things but it doesn't work as a service i'm often working with people and those in between so again i think the key is how do i find my path through all of this and where do i find innocent those moments we have to start beginning to trust what is coming.

again good evening another whistle blowers calling out the international chemical weapons what still gets now the 4th person in a matter of months old on the o.p.c. investigation into the alleged 2800 chemical attack in syria's duma enormous employed describes not much fear a fear within the organization. working in the organization has been open and the cause of the professional shame when i became aware of how a key elements of the organization was and clearly continues to be mismanaged i'm one of many who was stunned and frightened into silence by the reality of how the organization operates the threats of personal harm is not an illusion or else many of those would have spoken out by now to other foot. experts earlier came forward to denounce the report on the alleged chemical attack in tumour in syria there were no sation found the government guilty of using chemical weapons against its civilians the former employee said they took part in the investigation on the ground further they claimed evidence there suggesting the attack could not have been conducted as described in the report undermining its conclusions others have

claimed the attack may have been staged for its part the o.p.c. w. denies those accusations insisting there's no evidence to support those claims then in february 3rd person came forward accusing the organization of attempting to smear the former employees the latest was supplier is now strongly criticize the o.p.c. w.'s behavior. the mistreatment of 2 highly regarded and accomplished professionals can only be described as a parent i fully support their endeavors russia calling on the watchdog to not be hasty in dismissing their 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 unheeded with or with the majority become recently get

the culprit there and. say that they are rolled expectorate and of course we will hope maybe even more works of lords would come out at this time this is a classic problem powerful entities and it specially if they are linked to the us government and they think that all were being protected by you know powerful entity so that we need to go online and you know let's just hope that there is more integrity and more that the integrity that the for once of lordship share our own let us hope that they can muster more people with that kind of integrity again and to fix this organization which is really needed in the world. to swedish nurses who say they were denied jobs as midwives because of their religious beliefs have failed to get their case heard by the european court of human rights it declined to take up the case saying sweden it acted lawfully. the court observed this week and

provides nationwide abortion services and therefore has a positive obligation to organize his health system to ensure that the effects of exercise of freedom of conscience of health professionals does not prevent the provision of such services but a brief backstory those nurses retrained as midwives but refused to carry out abortions because of the christian faith swedish law requires midwives to carry out the procedure that women had already lost several court battles previously against the authorities saying they suffer discrimination but the case is nonetheless dividing opinion. it is not a human rights 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 bed is a 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 those only hire doctors were willing to provide an abortion but the idea that the government should step in and tell bad hospital owner that he can hire who he wants and that people can act according to convention could do their convictions is just a basic by a legion 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 the job because you believe just that that the procession 7 should make accommodation for that there are many medics around the world and indeed just as these midwives themselves say who went into the profession who chooses profession because that all about life there or about saving knowledge not

about ending life and the very nature of approaching life. around the world in a minute and a half egypt's worst storms in decades are thought so killed at least 20 people many of those deaths being attributed to collapsed buildings road accidents and electrical incidents flooding is severely affected transport links and many say that without power or running water elsewhere than on public gatherings in chile has nonetheless not deterred and the crowds from running against the president there calling for him to quit widespread anger over inequality in the push for constitutional reform. we've seen months of violence of the latest protests so while police respond with tear gas and water kind. of. italy streets may be deserted because of the coronavirus curfews but they're certainly not silent good on the nationwide italians are taken to the balconies to break the eerie quiet as people think about

instrumental just burst into song in a flash move lift the spirits while stuck at home to a tightly i think that's in the set any way they see it in these rather testing times keep calm carry on as they say wherever you're watching this course especially if you're holed up at home not able to go to work except for watching t.v. all of us in russia wish you all the best of a nice weekend my name's kevin i mean that's a nice round up so far more for me just about half an hour.
