a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isn't so 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 core unseen 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 fuel 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 if we backed it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now 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
8:15 am
they've loaned out 3 and a half times as much the us shale industries then now selling oil cheaper than it costs them to produce the adeline's with no passing just 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 and really forced it with the worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking the government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts that relief but the loonie work for a while and after that well they'll be no point in padding because it will be too
8:16 am
late. ok if that 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 long we'll look at how the party seems to have already made up its mind that way. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on offense experience dramatic development only and introduces east i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
8:17 am
8:18 am
for the democratic party's nomination because in 1000 pandemic means it will be a pretty small gathering too there will be no live audience watching joe biden and bernie sanders slug it out one of the moderators has also dropped out of the health concerns and the events being relocated nonetheless former vice president biden is on a roll off to clinching big wins in choose days primaries. all those. all those have been counted let's be sure this is your cue. just to read you go many. cleared to this. now we're very much a line. item on in mississippi missouri idaho michigan and senate which state which rival bernie tsongas picks up in 2016 well that's led to a point of being presented by some media as the cons that best place to beat don't trump in november but i scan them open explains the democratic party establishment
8:19 am
seems to have already made up its mind despite a growing number of finding. 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 poor kids are just as bratty just as chalons white kids on
8:20 am
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 in 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. that was actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids by the way without actually biden and you're a lying dog faced pony soldier. so it's gotta 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
8:21 am
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 who 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 if is he 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 act if he promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording
8:22 am
trump's efforts to investigate his heating political opponent predicted the trump will win a 2nd tom claimed that biden has 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. image when it's time to start taking shots at bernie sanders. are to new york. being real 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 views 1st had been removed when she tried to get pregnant 11 years later burstall of the baby was too big and they had to perform am i c section i remember when i walked up i asked them why they have reached by mitch or my family then they explained that the b. was too big and then 26 to make good engaged after trying for about 4 to

5 months. without me being able to conceive with any thought or see a doctor i really just thought it was just my lan and fertility issues dr will 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 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 i was leading this to i lived 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 know to have my life from white. south africa's commission for gender
8:24 am
equality has investigated complaints from 48 victims the country saw sterilization as a way to fight hiv and hospital staff for some of the women to sign consent forms now according to the world health organization the country suffers from the world's largest hiv epidemic more than 4000000 people for 1000000 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 highlight documentation the report pressure to south africa's health minister to investigate the issue and meet the complainants a victim we spoke to says she is not even hiv positive. i'm not actually positive our high. offices they are quite aware of it and i'll say this in camera they are quite aware of the practice and you know doing anything new i mean is being held
8:25 am
accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didn't say in any 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 what and why to are all going through literally glister lives i do not want to my daughter to be singing the same song that i'm singing today because it's time bearable with the pain that comes with this it's a it's unbearable and most of all right it's. my right as a human being we're very late and my regret is a woman in. my report actually right were taken away from me and no woman ever entered the river should go through what through. on friday 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
8:26 am
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 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 mining has been impressed and since may for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a grand terry lawyer and activist kevin zeese describes the legal process used against manning as fundamentally unfair 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 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
8:27 am
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 these to come to an end really signals 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. well to get in touch if you'd like to comment on any of our stories by following us on social media we're back at the top of the out with the latest headlines we'll see if.

as of 2013 the pet food industry was dominated by only 5 malta conglomerate companies. yet when a consumer walks into a store it's easy to assume that there is a vast array of choices for their dog or cat and the ability to choose that one perfect food. but just how different are these choices and what's really going on inside of those bags is what's inside really as healthy as the shiny outside labeling would have you believe.
