a warm welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international with all the latest world news and a roundup of the week's top stories. now the effects of corona virus are proving increasingly in a skate of all one way or another among the latest developments donald trump has tested negative for covert 90 after he met with a met a brazilian official who later turned out to have the infection last night after an in-depth discussion with the president regarding 19 testing he elected to proceed this evening i received confirmation that the test is negative the virus seemingly hasn't got into the white house but it's having a devastating effect on the lives of the $157000.00 plus who are known to be infected with the consequences rippling through jobs businesses on with schools events canceled as people are told to stay at home reporting next to his ecostar. fear is growing fear is that someone discovered an actual jumanji board the real world in an almost biblical like game of pandemonium.

if. the up 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 of call did 19 outside china as increases so as to unfold. and the number of affected countries has tripled we have that for many of the our system and that core viewed 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 fire sale of season donald trump's announcement that all european holidaying plans are to be cancelled to keep new cases from entering our assures 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 jean 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 are 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. less with anxiety spreading just as rapidly be corona virus as providing opportunities for the unscrupulous and solid to buy the ski 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 total watched her and when you're out in about touching everything from. $200.00 to picking up things in shops it's a bit difficult to run into a both room and just 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 eddie the phones don't stop ringing this morning we had the schools the town halls the public transport company everybody was joe we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of jail exponentially increased the problem was considered serious the french government stepped in and that today will take care of the degree regulate the prices of hydrocodone it jelled another precaution for many is to do on a face mask a tiny bit of cough 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 a renowned 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 all flasks 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 fine 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. there are 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 of the presence of an alarm system perform if they have the opportunity a robbery by trick the majority of the victims of robbery 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 antivirus purifier is 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 not physically as we've been told what to believe is a search 6 but the acronym keep it simple stupid and don't get caught and. r.t. paris. for areas face unique difficulties the small greek island of less false recorded its 1st infection a few days ago but is also struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in a crowded camp where conditions are dire evangelise observes has been hearing islanders concerns about coping with a new health crisis. i'm standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the

lead school's reese we're about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people area it's not the base 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 a relic of the world 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. exists 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 lead the infection spread further you can imagine what will happen to him of them ago 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 my telling the whole island of lesbos will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course i'm afraid if 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 moria camp but as we went around it we spoke to refugees who are living in this cow for many many years now they have a different opinion this place like witnessed. a lot of people here and now you don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have it so yes men and good men. i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention on the virus he'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. dimia bankers are warning the world to brace for an economic shock ahead of the european central banks these leaders need to accept

her gently to contain the spread of infections global stock markets have suffered record falls in recent days crude oil prices also took their sharpest weekly dive since the 2008 financial crisis as supply is far outstripped drying demand it wasn't just down to the health crisis though a price war broke out which store saudi arabia dakin of the oil producing nations failed to reach an agreement on cutting production looks at the possible consequences. 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong subject that has dominated the news all week. to grow the virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge spike increases through 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 drug 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 aline's 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 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 then now selling oil cheaper than it cost them to produce 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 worse broke in the oil crisis in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even without jobs a greedy force of good the worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts debt relief but the loonie work for a while and after that well they'll be no point in panicking because it will be too

late. or the cave effects means it will be an audience for a us t.v. election debate on sunday night as democratic hopefuls joe biden and bernie sanders go one on one with look at how the party seems to have already made up its mind after the break and let us. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. thinks. we dare to ask.

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to from day should we let it be an arms race 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. welcome back i want to the us election in 2 states are postponing their presidential primaries over health concerns georgia and louisiana will now have to

wait a further 2 months to go to the polls sunday nights will those see the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the democratic party's nomination because of it 19 pandemic means it will be a pretty small gathering to there will be no live audience watching joe biden and bernie song does 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 the clinching big wins and tuesday's primaries. all those who have been knocked down all those have been counted out left behind this is your campaign. just over a week ago many of the pundits declared that this candidacy was dead. now or very much alive. biden won in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan delicate which state which rival bernie tsongas picked up in 2016 well that's led to bind in being presented by some media as the candidate best place to be done in november but as

caleb maupin explains the democratic party establishment thinks to have already made up its mind despite a growing finding us. 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 all trump and it became very clear to me that joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person 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. it 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 biden 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 astronomy 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. he revealed the schools of south african women were sterilized in state hospitals without their consent we spoke to one of the victims who only discovered her uterus had been removed when she trying to get pregnant 11 years later. burstall of the baby was too big and they had to perform am a c. section and remember when i walk up i ask them why they have reached by mitch or my

family then they explain that the baby was too big and then 26 to make good engaged after trying for about 4 to 5 months our dad. without me being able to conceive with any thought or should go see a doctor i really just thought it was just my land and fertility issues doc told prescribe medication opera fine and when it goes there that's when i learned that i didn't have the terrorists at 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 i'm known reason they just decided to remove my uterus i'm saying it's and non-greasy in because as i'm sitting here at this moment i don't know why i was leading this to a lived when i met with her to address 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 know to save my life from white

. well south africa's commission for gender equality has investigated complaints from 48 victims the country saw sterilization as a way to fight hiv and hospital staff forced some of the women to sign 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 report illegal sterilization was carried out in 15 public hospitals between 20022005 the study was complicated by the fact that hospital staff tried to hide its documentation the report pushed south africa's health minister to investigate the issue and meet the complainants the victim we spoke to say she is not even hiv positive. i'm not actually positive all our high. offices they are quite aware of this and i'll say this in camera they are quite aware of the

practice and they know doing anything new i mean is being held accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didn't the same in 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 it 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. on friday u.s. federal judge ordered the release of army whistleblower chelsea manning from jail

while in the 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 her 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 a presence and may testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury and lawyer and activist kevin zeese describes the legal process used against mining as fundamentally of. it all 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 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 violation of international law and needs to come to an end really singles where the trouble 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. thanks for joining us here on c international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest.
