10 am here in the russian capital you're watching a week where we recap the most talked about stories of the week starting with of course the current virus the effects of covert 19 are proving increasingly in escapable one way or another among the latest developments donald trump has tested negative for covert 19 after he'd met a brazilian official who later turned out to have the inception last night after an in-depth discussion with the president regarding called the 1000 testing he elected to proceed this evening i received confirmation that the test is negative. so the virus seemingly hasn't got into the white house but it is having a devastating effect on the lives of the $156000.00 plus who are known to be infected with the consequences rippling through jobs businesses and with schools of

events canceled as people are told to stay at home reporting that it's on the whole situation hasn't caused out of fear is growing fear is that someone discovered an actual jumanji board the real world in an almost biblical like game of pandemonium. in. europe and locusts are actually swarming the middle east and africa as you're watching this but one crisis is of course overshadowing all others the coronavirus and the world health organization is confirming our worst fears in the ponds 2 weeks the number of cases did 90 you know so. increases

so as to unfold. and the number of affected countries has tripled we have that for many of the our system and that quoted 19 can be kind of. a pandemic it's been a nightmarish shock week for stocks to the worst plunge in decades wiped trillions of dollars from the market for the average american it meant the crisis lifted more than $20000.00 out of each citizen spock it also fueling the quick sell off season donald trump's announcement that all european holidaying plans are to be cancelled to keep new cases from entering our sure's we will be suspending all travel from europe to the united states for the next 30 days the u.k. being one of the few countries to evade the initial ban was perhaps some very sad irony when london publicly and apparently gave up on all efforts to contain the

disease eventually vice president mike pence thought better and added the country on the banned list too but america's major indices kept reeling as if it were the stocks themselves that had caught covert 19 shaken with fever even the federal reserve's absolutely massive cash lifeline utterly failed to pay to the markets black as trump struggled with a response this is not a financial crisis this is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world meanwhile europe officially took up the torch from china as the new epicenter of the pandemic even big chain offered its condolences and as cities and all nations went on lockdown reactions have been mixed from ransacked supermarkets to prison riots to some making the best of the situation.

globally almost all major sporting events have been either canceled or postponed leagues championships and public gatherings all on the banned list so until this jumanji board is cleared of what lessons can we learn well be bald be careful. and wash your hands. it caught on of staying safe plus with anxiety spreading just as rapidly the coronavirus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous charlotte to penske reports from paris. with panic in no short supply of virus hearing from some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise i've been concocting a variety of scams to make

a quick buck now we're all well aware that the 1st line of defense against the virus is told watch on her hands when you're out in about touching everything from . 100 to picking up things in shops it's a bit difficult to run into a both room to scrub. every time well thank goodness of course those little travel sized bottles of hand sanitizer to fight those nasty germs and that is of course if you can still find any the phones don't stop ringing this morning we had the schools the town hall the public transport company everybody was joe we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of one gel exponentially increased the problem was considered serious the french government stepped in to you that today when you take care of the degree regulate the prices of hierarchical the gels another precaution for many is to do on a face mask

a tiny bit of cloth 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 arena and 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 over masks 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 world 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 were wearing face masks telling them that they had broken the law and had to pay an on the spot following these students were 1st to pay a 150 euros and find spoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete face covering in public spaces police investigation found the dees police were pretending to be police wearing a mask for health reasons is absolutely not illegal in the room trying to pick on the weak and the elderly in the district around bordeaux there are reports of people selling door to door decontamination services for a snip at 1500 euros these con artists use a pressure washer to do a little bit of cleaning that's not all they're up to this type of canvassing

allows these crooks to enter your home check the presence of valuable objects so the presence of an alarm system will perform if they have the opportunity a robbery by trick the majority of the victims of robbery or elderly who are physically weaker tell your loved ones to take precautions and the scams it seems gaining momentum the french national consumer and fraud office says it's received thousands of reports of dog dealings we're talking everything from magical lumps with disinfecting properties to anti virus purifiers the simple and most effective method to stay virus free is something that we should all been doing anyway and that is thoroughly washing our hands with soap and water it's that simple. so remember to kiss well physically as we've been told want to be is a search but the acronym keep it simple stupid and don't get cold shoulder you can ski r.t. paris france but some other areas are facing unique difficulties the small greek

island for example of last boss recorded its fast infection a few days ago but it's also struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in a crowded camp where conditions are dire evangelists says has been hearing islanders concerns about coping with this new health crisis. i'm standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the listless reese we're about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people area it's not the best when it comes to fighting in the conditions are not the ideal for people living in such a small area but now with the spread of corona virus in the realm of the world's a lot of the people are concerned he went around and spoke to the locals to see what they had to say about a fear of a virus like that spreading among the camp and this is what. if it gets like italy will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is good if they manage

to isolate one or 2 of those infected with corona virus one of the feel and let the infection spread further you can imagine what will happen to them of them again there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it could 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 jobs they say 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 bit leaf iris on the island and jewels are ensuring that nothing of those cases have been confirmed here at the morea camp but as we went around and we spoke to refugees who are living in this cow for many many years now they have a different opinion displaced slaves but at least. a lot of people here now i don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have it so yes men and good

men and if. i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention on the virus who's already here 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 13 people. senior bankers are warning of the world to brace for an economic shock as a result of this the head of the european central bank says leaders need to act urgently to contain the spread of infections global stock markets have suffered rock called in recent days crude oil prices also took their sharpest weekly dive since the 2008 financial crisis as supplies far outstrip drying tomorrow and it wasn't just down to the health crisis though a price war broke out word for saudi arabia again after all producing nations failed to reach agreement on cutting production. of looks at the possible

consequences 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could do went wrong subject that has dominated the news all week. to grow the virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge bike increases the prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched and oil prices markets are getting punched in the face a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isn't too bad i mean cheaper fuel truck seems to think it's good. good for the consumer gasoline prices coming down so here's my question what's the point of cheap fuel when you can't drive or fly anywhere because of an epidemic because of corn team al lines are clearly not going to stock up on

kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience less demand as traveling goes down that is going to be one of the factors that will likely keep b. or cries depressed now you are starting to get by we the whole world is facing catastrophe it isn't just one problem it's many and they feed each other they multiply each other 1st the airlines suffer fuels cheap but no one's flying anywhere no one travels tourism collapses meaning millions of people lose income if millions stop making money they stop buying stuff so the factories shut down meaning more people lose jobs and so on of course we have the impact of the crisis which is made by the corona virus spreading around europe italy we have just seen it and then of course the. situation with oil which is

a bit complicated and so far i've never seen anything like this it i've been back to it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now will we get to the crux of it think a little trip back to 2008 he is a graph showing the u.s. debt market in 20082 trillion it collapsed because bankers high on greed gave out loons to people to buy houses that they couldn't afford we hoped at least that they had learned their lesson watch what they did next since then they've loaned out 3 and a half times as much the us shale industries they're now selling oil cheaper than it costs them to. reduced the airlines with no passengers the hotels with no guests the businesses with no clients in 2008 the world's economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed their house payments now entire industries are on the

verge of fooling like dominoes we have heard the 1st it worth in the oil crisis in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even without jobs or greedy or stick with the worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking the government still have tools to the lay a meltdown tax cuts debt relief but the loonie work for a while and after that well they'll be no point in padding because it will be too late. the comfort of fact means it will be an audience for a u.s. t.v. election debate on sunday night as democratic hopefuls joe biden and saunders go one on one we look at how the party seems to have already made up its mind them after this quick break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to fund let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic development only engages i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. thinks. we fear to ask.

welcome back sunday night we'll see the fast one on one debate for the 2 men dying for the democratic party's presidential nomination but the pandemic means it'll be a pretty small gathering they'll be no no i fortunes watching a bite and a bunny song to slug it out and one of the moderators has also dropped out of the house concerns the about it's also been relocated nonetheless former vice president biden is on a roll off to clinching a big wins in tuesday's primaries. all those who have been knocked down all those have been counted let's be right this is your campaign. just over a week ago many of the pundits declared that this candidacy is dead. now we're very

much in line. but i don't want in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan a delegate rich state which rival bunny saunders that she picked up 26 stayed that's about to biden being presented by some media as the candidate best place to be donald trump in november but i'm open now explains the democratic party establishment seems to have already made up their mind despite a growing number of biden gaffes. the race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and it's pretty clear where the bets are going there on joe biden the good guy it's a time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me that joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person i think i've ever met but he is just a good guy and why not have a good guy in the white house after all for the past 3 years the media has been working very hard to convince everyone that pure evil has overtaken the u.s.

presidency but it doesn't take very deep digging to discover that you can rub off joe biden's good guy shine take a look at how he insulted detroit assembly plant worker who questioned his views on gun rights. he also has hinted that he believes that race and intellectual ability are somehow connected to your kids you just as brady just as towns white kids on top of that he is known to just make things up and say things on the fly that have absolutely no connection to reality we choose unity over division we choose science over fiction we choose truth over facts and a lot of ways joe biden sounds an awful lot like donald trump let's see if americans can tell them apart i bet you're as bright as you are good looking. that's actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts. i was actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as

white kids by those without actually biden and you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. so it's got to be true and actually biden also the narrative is supposed to be that donald trump is a big mean bully and joe biden is a lovable adorable grandpa with good intentions and he's supposed to be way better than that wild eyed radical bernie sanders except don't you remember how recently everyone was bashing joe biden i just think by. it is declining i don't think he has the energy and he has been a skilled debater we saw him with sarah palin we've seen him in the past the question is does he still have his job and destroy native and is he how sure are busy can you imagine that man in a presidential did by with donald trump there's not enough popcorn in the world to do is how subtly biden inserts obama into every possible answer having significant

mental faculties issues is everyone ok with biden being president of the united states when he's having difficulty remembering the name of you know politicians that he'd be dealing with on a regular basis but now we are told that opposition to joe biden is a russian plot the kremlin's english language media aim to influence americans on the home tough activity promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording trump's efforts to investigate his eating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd term claimed that biden is called to be unraveling on some eyes that allegations of corruption are doing real damage to his presidential bid now the race is getting heated as the field has narrowed so the question is now will joe biden be able to keep that good guy image when it's time to start taking shots at bernie sanders. r.t. new york. has been revealed that schools of south african women was sterilized in

state hospitals without the sun we spoke to one of the victims who only discovered how your trees had been removed when she tried to get pregnant 11 years later. burstall of the bee was too big and they had to perform i am a c section i remember when i walked up i asked them why they have reached by mitch or my family then they explain that the b. was too big and they include nice 16 a good engaged after trying for about 4 to 5 months. without me being able to conceive with any thought i should go see a doctor i read just thought it was just my lamb and fertility issues dr will prescribe medication opera fine and good to see this will end that i didn't have to risk it all i don't think there was anything wrong with me i didn't have any complications before birth and i didn't have any complications after birth for some

reason for unknown reason they just decided to move my uterus i'm seeing it and non-greasy in because as i'm sitting here at this moment i don't know why our legal is to allow that when i met with dr ed ridge who confirmed that he was there when the procedure happened he also could not give me the answer all you could say to me was that they did the operation to save my life i don't want to live my life from white south africa's commission for gender equality has investigated complaints from 48 victims the country's sore star allies ation as a way to fight hiv and hospital staff forced some of the women to sign those consent forms according to the world health organization the country suffers from the world's largest hiv epidemic more than 4000000 women are hiv positive according to the reported legal sterilization was carried out in 15 public hospitals between 20022015 the study was complicated by the fact that hospital

staff did try to hide documentation the report pushed south africa's health minister to investigate the issue and meet the complainants the victim we spoke to says she's not even hiv positive. i'm not and should be positive all our high. offices they are quite aware of this and i'll say this on camera they are quite aware of the practice and they know doing anything no one is being held accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didn't say in any paper and i couldn't have signed it because at that time i was a minor and my mom who was there with me all the time also didn't claim any consent form no woman deserves to go through what i am going through all that and why 2 are all going through is literally listeria lives i do not want my daughter to be singing the same song that i'm singing today because the time bearable or the pain

that comes with this it's a bear it's unbearable and most of all rights violated my rights as a human being we're very late and my regret is a woman and ted my reproduction right were taken away from me and no woman ever in south africa should go through what we are going through. and finding it on friday now u.s. federal judge ordered the release of army whistleblower chelsea manning from jail ruling that her detention no longer serves any purpose manning had attempted to kill herself on wednesday manning's appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed in light of which are detention no longer serves any course of purpose the court further finds that enforcement of the accrued conditional fines would not be punitive but rather necessary to the course of purpose of the court's civil contempt order manning has been in prison since may for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before

a grand jury lawyer and activist kevin zeese describes the legal process used against manning as fundamentally unfair. well this whole case is an injustice and a violation of her basic human rights the secret grand jury system in the united states is very unfair it only allows the prosecutor in the room with the jurors no defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story that's what manning is protesting so i know her and she's a very strong person but obviously it's a lot of pressure but i think she's more likely go out of that jail dead than testifying she is not going to change your opinion she's made that clear and that's why this friday the judge should end this injustice and release or this is a violation of u.s. law violation of international law and needs to come to an end really singles where the trouble an illustration is going when it comes to julian a songe and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against julian assange they

are not supposed to use the grand jury for the purpose of gathering evidence to prove that indictment but it shows to me that the government is not very confident about the evidence they have or about that indictment they want more. about that from me for the moment you can check out auto com if you still want more all stick around because well the pot is coming your way now. so she and i as a nation from which says something to us and investors. i say oh she's come out for free you've got bored of the truck jumpers for. your mom happens. never to try to predict i was. upset.
