6:11 am

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 coronavirus spreading around europe italy we've 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 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 hove to lease 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 then now selling oil cheaper than it cost them to produce the allies 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 that worst drop in oil price in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even in the dow jones and really posted with the worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking the government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts debt relief but the loonie worked for

6:17 am
do i find my path through all of this and where do i find it it's in those moments we have to start beginning to trust what is coming from within. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
6:18 am
welcome back and let's head straight to the u.s. election on 2 states all postponing the presidential primaries over health concerns ga i will now have to wait a father 2 months to go to the polls sunday night we'll go see the fust one i want to pay for the $2.00 man vying for the democratic party's nomination the covert 19 pandemic means it will be a pretty small gathering to delpy no law if audience watching joe biden and bonnie saunders slug it out one of the moderators has also dropped out over health concerns and the events being relocated nonetheless former vice president biden is on a roll off to could sing big wins in tuesday's primaries. all those who have been knocked down all those have been counted let's be frank this is your campaign. just over a week ago many of the pundits declared that this candidacy is dead. now are very much in line biden won in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan
6:19 am
a delegate rich state which rival bunny saunders picked up in 2016 that's led to biden being presented by some media as the candidate best place to be donald trump this november but as caleb maupin explains the democratic party establishment seems to have already made up its mind despite a growing number of bytes and 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 time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me 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
6:20 am
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 the way. and actually biden and you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. so it's got to be true and
6:21 am
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 debate 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
6:22 am
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 while lauding trump's efforts to investigate his eating political opponent predicted the 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. it's been revealed that scores of south african women were sterilized in state hospitals without silent we spoke to one of the victims who only discovered how uterus had been removed when she tried to get pregnant 11 years later bristol

ever answer that regard should go through what we are going through. finally on friday a us federal judge ordered the release of army whistleblower chelsea manning jail ruling that her detention no longer solved and the public's money had attempted to take her life on wednesday. manning's appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive 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 imprisoned since may for refusing to testify against whitney before a grand jury you know an activist kevin zeese describes the legal process he used against manning as fundamentally unfair. in this whole case is an injustice and a violation of her basic human rights the secret grand jury system in the united
6:27 am
states is very unfair it only allows the prosecutor in the room with 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 at 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 by lisa here a national law and used to come to an end really singles where the trouble it is strange is going when it comes to julian a songe and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against julius onj 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. that's all from me
