around the globe this is arts international with the news review of the week and of course headlining nations worldwide closing borders and businesses and livelihoods suffering as the coronavirus officially declared a pandemic. stocks in all prices taken a major hammering then as severe travel restrictions of more widely impose specialist days well look at the ramifications. of these away from russia and turkey carried out their 1st joint patrols along a key highway in syria the move to prevent terrorist provocation that may harm civilians.

hello good morning it's just one i am near a mosque at this a early monday morning welcome to the weekly than our roundup of the big headlines of the last 7 days as reported by us to you and woman's story dominating and said to dominate for a good while yet of course we're talking coronavirus and as it stands so far this morning the death toll from it has passed 6000 globally it's having a devastating effect the consequences are rippling through jobs and businesses with events cancelled and people being told simply to stay at home reporting next that he goes down off morning. fear is growing fear is that someone discovered an actual jumanji board the real world in an almost biblical like game of pandemonium.

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 plant's 2 weeks the number of cases of course. includes certain forward. and the number of our fixed countries. 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 2. emperor in 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 be 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. is still the

device so there is r.t. spread so too it seems is how patootie the coronavirus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous to cash in that story was brought to us in the week from paris charlotte. with panic in no short supply virus hearing from some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise have 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 the boat touching everything from . 100 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 printing this morning we

have the schools the town halls the public transport company everybody wants 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 to you that today when you take the degree regulating the prices of hydrocodone it jelled another 'd 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 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 of 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 d.'s 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 what to be is this search but the acronym keep it simple stupid don't get caught short of people ski r.t. paris because so many stories can be coming on this over the weeks and months as a crisis develops more and more news is been coming in around the world about the ramifications next case in point reported in the week from the small greek olive the lesbos the record of its 1st infection a few days ago but it's particularly big news there because it's also a place that's also struggling to house calls more than 20000 refugees in that overcrowded camp where conditions are dire evangelise sips is went to the island to talk to our leaders about what their fears were about what might be coming up next . i'm standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the lesbos 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 coronavirus around 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 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 but one of the feel unloved infection spread further you can imagine what will happen. with them and there will be many issues and they'll be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will only be morry of the affected but also my touring the whole island of less possibly in trouble i have family on the island of course i'm afraid here we have our homes

our farms our jobs they say many bad things about us but it's us they living with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a belief 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 and we spoke to refugees who are living in the scalp for many many years now they have a different opinion the spliffs life but at least. a lot of people here now you don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have p.t.s. and. that's why i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention but these kind of viruses 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 people and then in the way just go and see. bankers warning

the world to brace for an economic economic shock they said the head of the european central bank says leaders need to urgently 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 supplies far outstripped drying demand it was just turn to the health crosses a price war broke out which source again after oil producing nations failed to reach agreement on cutting production next this morning with the of our senior correspondent looking at the possible consequences 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong a subject that has dominated the news all week. and the corona virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge buy good pieces of crude prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched and oil

price 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 so bad i mean cheaper fuel trump 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 coron team aligns 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 prices 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 we backed 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 u.s. 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 business is with no clients in 2008 the world's economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed their house payments now entire industries on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have the 1st worst drop in price in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even in the. greedy 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. take it one day at a time sure way all that said from life's got to go on all the rather disjointed right now and with less fun 1st specially for that upcoming later today democratic party to hopefuls facing off for parents t.v. big clash on sunday night's debate joe biden on the front foot after beating bernie sanders in this week's round of primaries but he says going to be a muted affair we look forward to that and the rest of the stories after the break . this budget we talk about trump he's gonna demystified this whole political space if you weren't clear before like these folks are no better than us so you know i you know you can reach out to friends say you know take responsibility maybe run

for office at the day you know i don't see. the how we will our system where these people get away with you know misrepresenting us why that step up and do it yourself. the world is driven by shaped by our own personal. dares thinks. we dare to ask.

again this is the weekly live from moscow a roundup of the big stories of the week in a way from coronavirus for a minute should be the russian and turkish military have carried out their 1st joint patrols along a new security corridor or in syria's water on it live province it comes after the 2 sides finalized the details of a cease fire agreement that was struck here in moscow earlier this month there deal established that 6 kilometer deep buffer zone on either side of the m 4 highway which cuts across syria as you can see on the map from east to west the joint patrols aim to ensure the cease fire holds the accord has though been rejected by some of the extremist factions including a hyatt which exercises the fact of control inside the shattered province the russian military did indeed encounter some opposition earlier yes they sunday saying it changed its route then to avoid risking civilian casualties. terrorist strikes the civilians including women and children as human shields the russian circus coordination center decided to shorten the route distance to avoid any

incident that could result in civilian suffering what you're seeing here is video. only screams of one disturbance on the highway early showing a group of syrians protesting against a joint patrol and then burned tires and used caused located the road so the military vehicles couldn't pass. rusher in turkey have been a course on opposing sides in the ongoing syrian civil war which will be into his 10th the end it isn't intended but in recent months they had come perilously close a direct confrontation hence the diplomatic one back of late. failing to abide by the estimate and such agreements by not separating the extremist. groups has been the one to alone political analyst used to fair and believes the joint patrols can nonetheless right now help solve the problem. what we have to realize right now is the area is home to 3 almost 4000000 people and there's about 10012000 i believe fighters that russia and the assad regime label as are designated as terrorists

turkey of course designates the. group as terrorists as well now when you have 10000 fighters entrenched in an area of 3 to 4000000 people it's very very hard to extract these people without dealing huge damage we've seen what the americans have done in iraq when they tried to extract about 5010000 fighters out of that area the area was leveled massive 1000000 casualties and turkey is trying to be much more careful in removing these terrorists from this area as it's creating friction between assad and the rebel groups and the opposition joint patrols like the one turkey and russia are doing together to create this buffer zone between both sides are very very important but that does not change the fact that these groups that are designated as terrorist do need to be neutralized if we have been hopefully going forward turkey will be able to do a better job of this working closely with russia on neutralizing these groups. the

. race for the white house limping slightly tonight 2 states prospered in their presidential primaries over health concerns george and louisiana will now have to wait a further 2 months to go to the polls sunday night though will see the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the democratic party's nomination to cope with 19 pandemic means it's going to be smaller than initially envisaged will be no live audience watching joe biden and bernie sanders slug it out for a start also one of the moderators dropped out of a health concern and the event's been relocated nonetheless former vice president biden on a roll after clinching big wins in choose days primaries. all those. all those would be. let's be sure this is your campaign. just. many. cleared. now we're very much in line but what the mississippi missouri idaho and michigan michigan

a delegate rich state which rival bernie sanders picked to buck in 2 of the 16 that's a little ready to bud and being presented by some media is the kind of the best place to be will trump in the but as caleb maupin reports next the democratic party's establishment different ideas into the ready made the pits mine is but a growing number of biden gaffes of late. in 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 that joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person i've ever met 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. 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. 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 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 are busy can you imagine that man in a presidential did by we don't 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 trump's efforts to investigate his heating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd tom 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. keep that good guy image when it's time to start taking shots at bernie sanders tale of martin artsy new york. story came out of the we brought you it's been revealed that scores 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 tried to get pregnant 11 years later. burstall of the

baby was too big and they had to perform am i c section and remember when i walk up i ask them why they have a huge bandage on my tammy then they explain that their people is too big and then 2016 a good engaged after trying for about 4 to 5 months our that. but that me being able to conceive with any thought am i should go see a doctor i really just thought it was just my land and fertility issues dr will prescribe medication our fine and when it goes there that's really 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 bad for some reason for and known reason they just decided to move my uterus i'm seeing it and non-greasy in because as i'm sitting at this moment i don't know

why i was leading this to alive 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 save my life from white while there was an official reason i'll tell you what it was what it was in the moment but south africa's commission for gender equality is a verse getting complaints of 48 victims now the reason at the time the country saw sterilization as a way to fight hiv and hospital staff forced some of those women to sign consent forms according to the world health organization the country suffers from as well documented 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 further by the fact that hospital staff and try to hide the documentation apparently the report pushed so far for his health minister then to finally investigate the issue and meet the

complainants the victim we spoke to says she's not even h.l.v. 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 then are doing anything new i mean being held accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didn't sign 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 sign any consent form no woman deserves to go through what i am going through and what you 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 with the pain that comes with guests and there is unbearable and most of all rights violated my rights as a human being were violated my rights as

a woman and were violated ted my reproduction right were taken away from me and no woman ever in south africa should go through what we are going through so the merger of all that was the way some of the big stories of the last 7 days of the coronavirus things going to go on and on yet but hopefully will be here in moscow my name is kevin i would thank you for watching r.t. international you can always follow our stories about a dot com or a social media although its programs are on in your part of the world and shores here in half an hour after that. join me every thursday on the alex island show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

descriptions sound advertising even for the owners so how to choose the food industry is the. telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than what's necessarily good for the pet turns out food may not be associate people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis and they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge of a demagogue problems all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research.
