from our studios. certainly glad to have you with us right now several countries in the last 24 hours have declared an emergency in response to the covert 19 pandemic spain joined in neighboring european nations which are struggling with containment measures the u.s. has limited travel from europe and the restrictions also affect military personnel there is according to the pentagon while donald trump has announced that the u.s. is stepping up its risk level and response. to unleash the full power of the federal government did this effort 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 very important. a large amount of money for states and territories or look at all of these in our shared fight against this disease. president trump has ordered us

energy officials to purchase large amounts of oil to fill up the nation's emergency reserves after the biggest price crash in years trump is 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 here to his arteries done quarter. 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. because. they want. 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 one was covered up you'd think they'd understand that be. 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 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 old. but 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 so you're going to see netflix go up 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 the friday after suffering of their biggest drop in 30 years and solve the world's $500.00 wealthiest people collectively lose nearly $444000000000.00 in net worth as for others with plenty of money in the bank it seems that they are more than willing to use their cash to keep the coronavirus at bay.

we're putting extra resources into recruiting and lead educators able to provide interim private tutoring as demand is high this is driving up to their salaries and tuition prices. members who. are traveling commercial at using to be elite services a day or ports 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 passengers on their way to their seat.

because the ration tends to be very active in containing the virus i think the super rich will be less attractive than the rest of us simply because they have the means to us are in much more drastic in much more. large scale way it's united states charges people thousands of dollars for coronavirus tests and surely doesn't have enough tests to go around for some reason they have tests there all sorts of 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 miss a paycheck what 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 abroad to go to private islands to go to. private doctors things that the

vast majority people turn offs or and i do think it will continue to polarize society because this is a vast inequality inequality that hasn't been seen in american history and it's just continuing to get worse these ali has taken to the streets of the british capital to get some 1st and insight into how the restaurant industry is coping with over 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 in crowded now the

tables are empty on the city we already have. the restaurant. for example if a week you need to queue our own pen to face him a nice if we can do you have to queue our own for 30 minutes and raise 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 the tea leaves the reference. may be one weeks later since a can of ours. 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 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 pizzas and past is now struggling to get by the people who don't know how to stop these things so the only ways home. in the business would go down down down i don't know how we're going to reach the end of the month i don't know how. 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're supposed to get busy that is nothing as you can see there where i sit on the launch i mean the one i say. in the lounge doesn't about up and we are in the standalone this is being street 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 so what they want to do the display was people are afraid to being around people so your drive of 400 years didn't have you notice recently that the business is quiet. one is 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 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 you can't manage restaurants.

just let me look into our gear when we're hungry will get rich wrong 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 east. in. the u.s. military. has 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 is spokesperson said on saturday that 3 coalition personnel and 2 iraqi soldiers were wounded in the incident the 1st bomb bartman which hit the camp taji on wednesday left 2 american service personnel and one british soldier dead that triggered retaliatory u.s. air strikes 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 and. the u.s. forming 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 backed the tayyiba 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 continued hizbollah by their 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 are attacked or threatened iraq's president said 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 the iraqi state could risk an iso resurgence u.s. reprisal was also met with anger in the capital baghdad. and i think i had. we condemned the attacks on popular move to sites in the rock iraq has become was an external war and now rick in the run the fighting one of them threatens to be out there and ultimately iraqis are the one super victim that. schools are being settled between america and iran and it is happening now soil violates. it while it's our right now we're calling for the united nations to intervene. but. i am surprised that the government is ignoring such actions as 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. and middle east expert

told us that despite donald trump's anti interventionist campaign promises u.s. troops are not likely to withdraw from iraq anytime soon. from the beginning trial just looking about the necessity to withdrawal from endless wars he attempted to draw down the troop presence in syria and there's little made it a little taller than afghanistan it wants. but iraq is the one place in the middle east which trump has not spoken about troop withdrawals or true production and i think a lot of that might be used to be loyal to the new iraq is very well restructuring iraq is a special case. with that in mind i think that trying it's not just possible to keep the american troops in iraq or course but it is expected that the americans will face more and more of these attacks because the bombings of the last bases all the actions don't work that these groups from launching more attacks are going to get very complacent. defying

a ban on mass gatherings aimed at containing the coronavirus hundreds of yellow vest activists were out protesting in the french capital on saturday it is their 70 of consecutive week of anti-government demonstrations and of 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 at this week's protests though with demonstrators saying they want president micron to realize they have not gone away around the 2000 place officers have been deployed to disperse the activists in the rally comes a day before french voters head to the polls on sunday to vote in local elections

which are still going ahead despite in the health crisis. another whistle blower is calling out to the international chemical weapons watchdog it is now the 4th person in a matter of months all casting doubt on the o.p.c. investigation into the alleged 2800 chemical attack in syria's duma the anonymous employee describes an atmosphere of fear they're 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 am 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 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's duma where the organization found the government guilty of it using chemical weapons against its civilians the

former employees said they took part in the investigation on the ground they claimed evidence that there suggested that the attack could not have been conducted as described in the report undermining its own conclusions others have claimed that the attack may have even been staged. the o.p.c. w. 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. w.'s behavior. the mistreatment of 2 highly regarded and accomplished professionals can only be described as a parent's 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 unheeded with for whistleblower to become increasingly difficult for them to say that they are growing sick sector and of course we would hope maybe even more worst of wars would come out at this time this is a classic problem powerful entities and especially if they are linked to the u.s. government and they think that oh we're being protected by you know powerful entity so that we need to go law on and you know 8 let's just hope that there is more integrity and more that the integrity that the for what of lords and 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. and 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. i think when he arrived in joins our cost but all 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 some. if it's not his family who revealed the less chronic problem it's the 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.

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 it's only obsession with 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 the very religious beliefs have failed to get their case heard by the european court of human rights it declined to take up the case saying that sweden acted lawfully. the court observes that 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 such services the nurses retrained as midwives but refused to carry out abortions because of their christian faith swedish law requires midwives to carry out the procedure the women had already lost several court battles against of the authorities saying they suffered discrimination but their case is dividing opinion. it is not a human right 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 with 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 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't hire who he wants and that people can't act according to the convention to 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 us and indeed just as these midwives themselves say who went into the profession who chooses profession because they are all about life or about saving life not about ending life. and the very nature of abortion ends life either does or from i'll be back with headlines in about 35 minutes stay with us and start international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on foundation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

hospital bills that come from going to ospital so we don't go we could break our leg we wouldn't go it'd be billed as a galangal joey down the street and he fixes the legs got him business insider published a nifty chart here's a chart this shows how many tests have been done per 1000000 people or in various countries around the world you've got italy south korea and south korea it's $3692.00 tests per 1000000 in the us 5 not $505.00 per 1000000 there are more people in this country tested to see if they're one of the alien gods of scientology so are the health care is making this pandemic works another factor of this which is receiving a.
