energy officials to purchase large amounts of oil to fill up the nation's emergency reserve after the biggest price crash in years has also spied an opportunity to boost sales for the pharmaceuticals industry at home due to the pandemic but his push to buy american could hit consumers in the pocket here's one quarter with commentary. 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 and 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. if china banned the experts of drugs the us would

sink into the hell of a 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 at 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 disruption of the supply chain is what drives the work that we have is all 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 is

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 co-op or other you know online watching platforms hulu or whatever the case might be and same thing with medications. global stock markets recovered slightly on friday after suffering their biggest drop in 30 years it's all the world's $500.00 wealthiest people collectively losing nearly $444000000000.00 in net worth as for others with a plenty of money in the bank it seems that they are more than willing to use their cash to keep the chrono virus have bank. you know.

because the ration tends to be very effective intending virus i see the super rich will be less effective than the rest of us simply because they have the means to us all and 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 available for the british people and at the same time as so many people are worried about whether or not they're going to have to miss work a chat for if 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 inequality and inequality that hasn't been seen in. and it's just continuing to get worse. sally has taken to the streets of the british capital to get some 1st hand inside into how the restaurant industry is coping with a cold 1000. 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 uncrowded now the tables are empty on the city we already. for example if a week you need to queue our own him a nice if we can do you have to do our own 30 minutes away it's all the right reasons but there are serious 1st case come from the u.k. we immediately have to kind soul a saying this for all of the reference and maybe one weeks later since the color of our. we lost our own think to return. until no wrong maybe 6 weeks we lost our wrong 6080 percent over that our normal business i would no lock down you but we still lost a lot of our 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 passed is now struggling to get by the people don't know how to stop these things so the only ways. home. in the business go down and 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 that where i sit on the launch i mean the one i say. in the lounge doesn't know about up and we had in this handle on this

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. any telly and restaurant no more but what they want to do the display was people are free to being around people so your drive of 400 years have you notice recently that the business is quiet. one is going down and down because people are scared they're asking handing track down you can see this weekend nobody's here and then like months ago full of people here would put you off eating a restaurant do you think it's. actually a different. thing. i think if you. think that people are kind of sort of says well this is just sad i tell you and many restaurants say

. this let me look into our gear when we're hungry will 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. the. u.s. military has confirmed a very barrage of rockets have hit a base housing american and other coalition troops near baghdad the 2nd such attack on the facility this week a spokesperson said on saturday that 3 coalition personnel and 2 iraqi soldiers were wounded in the incident and the 1st bombardment which hit camp taji on wednesday left 2 american service personnel and one british soldier dead that triggered retaliatory u.s. air strikes against any 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 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 back to the tiny by hezbollah militia with the aim of taking out 5 of the 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 persuasion defensive strikes to degrade and destroy it vance conventional weapons that have been provided to keep. 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. iraq's president said of the 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 of the iraqi state could reskin i saw a resurgence u.s. reprisal was also met with anger in the capital baghdad. and i think i had to marvel at the if we condemned the attack some popular move lies ation forces sites 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 for victim. schools are being settled between america and the round and it is happening on our soil it violates our sovereignty it while it's our rights 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 middle east expert i risk had told us that despite donald trump's anti intervention interventionist campaign promises u.s. troops are not likely to withdraw from iraq any time soon. from the beginning trump asked looking about the necessity to withdrawal from an endless war he attempted to draw down on the troop presence in syria and there's no maybe a little taller than ever. but iraq is the one place in the middle east which trump has not spoken to troop withdrawals or troop reduction and i think a lot of that may be used to the oil you know iraq is very well restructuring iraq is a special case. with that in mind i think that it 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 a lot bases or the actions don't be too up to target these groups from launching

more attacks are going to american bases. defying a ban on mass gatherings aimed at containing at the coronavirus hundreds of yellow vests activists were out protesting in the french capital on saturday is there 70 of consecutive week of anti-government demonstrations and their latest rally has seen some scuffles with police. on friday the french government banned all gatherings exceeding 100 people in order to prevent the spread of a deadly virus that has not stopped this week's protests though with demonstrators saying that they want president not gone to realize they have not gone away around

2000 police officers have been deployed to disperse the activists rally comes a day before french voters head to the polls on sunday to vote in local elections which are still going ahead despite the health crisis. and other whistleblower calling out the international chemical weapons watchdog it is now the 4th person in a matter of months all casting doubt on the o.p.c. w.'s investigation into the alleged 2800 chemical attack in syria's duma the anonymous employee describes an atmosphere of fear of their. working in the organization has been knowing 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 possible harm is not an illusion or else many

others would have spoken out by now. to other former experts earlier came forward to denounce the o.p.c. w.'s report on an alleged chemical attack in syria where or syria's duma where the organisation found the government guilty of using chemical weapons against its civilians the former employees said that they took part in the investigation on the ground and they claimed evidence of their suggested to the attack could. did not have been conducted as described in the report undermining its own conclusions others have claimed the attack may have been staged. denies the accusations insisting there is no evidence to support those claims in february a 3rd person came forward accusing the organization of attempting to smear the former employees the latest whistleblower has now strongly criticized the o.p.c. behavior. the mistreatment of 2 highly regarded and accomplished professionals can only be described as a parents i fully support their endeavors. russia is now calling on the watchdog to

not be hasty in dismissing the 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 with 4 whistle morsi becomes increasingly difficult for them to say that they are rove's eccentric 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 lent 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 8 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. in what is described as france's worst ever child sex abuse scandal a retired surgeon has gone on trial accused of abusing hundreds of children many alleged victims have come forward including the doctors 2 nieces. there's a couple that are told this will and you know i think when he arrived in the jones icon spittle of the authorities i don't know at what level were already aware of this and no one intervened to prevent him from being recruited going to some of the other.

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 count your good news for d.v. also good 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 was his collection of images and this need to put his fantasies on paper.

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 cases saying sweden acted lawfully the court observes 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. well the nurses retrained as midwives but refused to carry out abortions because of their christian faith swedish law requires midwives said to carry out the procedure and the 2 women had already lost several court battles against the authorities saying that they suffer discrimination but their

case is dividing opinion. it is not a human rights since 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 career is 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 if somebody owns a hospital they can say i want every doctor here to be willing to provide an abortion and only hire doctors were willing to provide abortion but the idea that the government should step in and tell that hospital owner that he can hire who he wants and that people can act according to convention to do their convictions is just a basic violation of personal sovereignty if you have a as a person have

a conviction that life is precious and worthy of protection and that the safety 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 wellness and indies just as these midwives themselves say who went into the profession who choose his profession because that all about life there or about saving the life not about ending life and the very nature of abortion and slice by the desire for mailbag stop there with more news this is our attention.

lead. as budget we talk about trouble he's gonna demystified this whole political space if you were 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 at the end of the day you know i don't see how we leave a lot a system where these people get away with you know misrepresenting us why not step up and do it yourself. the world is driven by shaped by one person. in a day or thinks. we dare to ask. for . you see every passage of the death of something all passages involve some kind of

conflict in between where one is trying to reconstitute the old way of doing things but it doesn't work as a therapist i'm often working with people in 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 from within. the f.t.'s primary role isn't regulation of what the label says it is and there is actually in this the f.d.a. is not regulating quality production sourcing any of those things they're regulating that what you say is on the label is actually on the label the most. shocking thing about the pet food industry that has remained since basically i started doing this work is the f.d.a. compliance policies i still cannot understand how an industry is

provided by a federal tax supported organization loopholes to avoid federal law if you go to the f.d.a. website and just type in compliance policies and then scroll down the page to animal feed. and there's one after another they allow contamination bypass to sads contamination by industrial chemicals contamination bad natural toxins contamination of microbiology call contamination over tolerance for permanent drug residues. it's incredible. the law says that can be but the compliance policy says don't worry go ahead. enforce. for all practical purposes there's nobody looking out for the average dog in 2006 mystery illness begin to sicken thousands of pets across the

united states and canada thrusting the industry into the spotlight like never before. ok everyone is so freaked out about this recall tell us what people need to know about this recall so it's menu food menu foods menu foods menu foods on any food on march 16th 2007 many foods began recalling dog foods produced in their facilities in kansas and new jersey what disturbs me about this incident is that it confirms yet again the pet food as well as human food is a risk more than 60000000 packages were taken off store shelves last month because they apparently contained wheat gluten that was tainted with the chemical melamine veterinarian offices are getting flooded with phone calls from concerned that over in the people on the other end of the phone sound worried yes very wary yes no official estimates on exactly how many have died so far but hundreds of cats have suffered my strong belief is that they were intentionally delaying the recall happened because they thought they were perch.
