you that today when you take care of the degree regulate the prices of hydraulic hold a job 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 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

acronym keep it simple stupid and don't get caught. paris as the crisis develops more and more stories are coming out about the effects on regular people and case in point is the small greek island of lesbos which recorded its 1st infection a few days ago that adds fuel to the fire because the island is also struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in a crowded camp where conditions are dire as has been hearing the islanders concerns . i'm standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the lead schools 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 when the spread of coronavirus in the realm of the world's a lot of the people are concerned he went around and spoke to the locals to see
7:10 pm
what they had to say about what a fear of a fire is like that spreading among the camp and this is what. if it gets like it too it 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 3 but one of the feel unloved infection spread further you can imagine what will happen to him of them and there will be many issues and they'll be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will only be moria the suspected but also my touring the whole island of less boss will be 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 who are they going with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a big leap virus 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 the scalp for many many years now they have
7:11 pm
a different opinion of the spliffs life but at least. a lot of people here now i don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have it's yes men and good men. 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 but the. senior banker. as are warning the world to brace for an economic shock the head of the european central bank says leaders need to act urgently to contain the spread of infections global stock markets have heard record of falls in recent days crude oil prices also took their sharpest weekly dive since of the 2008 financial crisis that supplies far outstripped drying demand it wasn't just down to the health crisis though a price war broke out which saw saudi arabia dig in after oil producing nations
7:12 pm
failed to reach agreement on cutting production our tease. looks at the possible consequences. 2020 will go down in history as the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong a subject that has dominated the news all week. the corona virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge spike in cases 3 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 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
7:13 pm
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 course we have the impact of prices which is made by the coronavirus spreading around europe italy we've just seen it
7:14 pm
and then of course the. situation with oil which is a bit complicated and so far i've never seen anything like this be back to the. 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 us 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 the hoff times as much the u.s. shale industries then now selling oil cheaper than it costs them to produce the ad lines with no passing just the hotels with no guests the business is with no
7:15 pm
clients in 2008 the world's economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed the house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have had the 1st that worst drop in price in the ninety's and the stock market probably everywhere even if. greedy posted their worst one day drop ever there's no point in panicking the government still have tools to the lay a melt out tax cuts debt relief but the loonie work for awhile and off to that well they'll be no point in padding because it will be too late. the us democratic parties to hopefuls are preparing for a head to head clash in the sunday night's debate with it joe biden riding the wave after beating bernie sanders in this week's round of primaries does. that story and much more come your way after international.
7:16 pm
you see every passage is a death of something all passages involve some kind of conflict in between where one is trying to reconstitute the old way of doing things but it doesn't work as a therapist i'm often working with people in those in between so again the key is how 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. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the
7:17 pm
day or thinks. we dare to ask. this is our chief international now the russian and turkish military have carried out their 1st joint patrol along a new security corridor in syria's war torn italy province this comes after the 2 sides have finalized the details of a ceasefire agreement that was struck in moscow earlier this month there deal established a 6 kilometer deep a buffer zone on either side of the m 4 a highway which cuts across syria from east to west the joint patrols aim to ensure the cease fire holds but the accord has been rejected by some extremist factions including. which exercises de facto control inside the shattered province the
7:18 pm
russian military did encounter some opposition along the road on sunday saying it changed its route to avoid risking civilian casualties. terrorist strikes the civilians including women and children as human shields the russian coordination center decided to shorten the route distance to avoid any incident that could result in civilian suffering. well video of one disturbance on the highway earlier shows a group of syrians protest against the joint patrol the men burned the tires and used cars to blockade the road so that the military vehicles could not pass russia and turkey have been backing opposing sides in the ongoing civil war in syria which will soon be on its 10th year but in recent months have come increasingly close to direct confrontation moscow has accused of failing to abide by the and sochi agreements by not separating the extremist factions from the more moderate groups political analysts believes the joint patrols can still help solve the problem. we
7:19 pm
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 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 between assad and the rebel groups and the opposition joint patrols like the one turkey and russia are doing together to create this buffer
7:20 pm
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 hopefully going forward turkey will be able to do a better job of this working closely with russia on neutralizing these groups. the u.s. election now 2 states are postponing their presidential primaries. health concerns george in louisiana will now have to wait a further 2 months to go to the polls meanwhile sunday night will see the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the democratic party's nomination because of a $1000.00 pandemic means it will be a pretty small gathering there will be no live audience watching joe biden and bernie sanders slug it out one of the moderators who has also dropped out over health concerns and the event has been relocated nonetheless former vice president biden is on a roll after clinching big wins in tuesday's primaries. for all those who have been
7:21 pm
knocked down all those have been counted let's be sure this is your campaign. just to reach you many. cleared. now are very much alive and well biden won in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan a delegate rich state which rival bernie sanders picked up in 2016 that has led to biden being presented by some media as the candidate best place to be to donald trump in november resigned his comment the democratic party establishment seems to have already made up its 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 joe biden is the right person to do that he's the nicest person i've ever met but he is just
7:22 pm
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.
7:23 pm
i 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. that'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. in his 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
7:24 pm
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
7:25 pm
keep that good guy image when it's time to start taking shots at bernie sanders. r.t. new york. there's been revealed that scores of south african women are 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 each by nature my family then they explain that the people is too big and they include a nice 16 a good engaged after trying for 4 to 5 months. but that me being able to conceive with any thought should go see a doctor i really just thought it was just my. infertility issues total prescribe medication opera fine and go say that's really lend that i didn't have the 2 of us

7:27 pm
positive according to the report illegal sterilization was carried out in 15 different hospitals public hospitals between 20022005 the study was complicated by the fact that hospital staff tried to hide documentation of a report pushed south africa's health minister to investigate and the victim we spoke to says that she is not even a positive. i'm not n.h.l. you positive 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 have 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 all that and why 2 are all going through it is literally lyster lives i do not want my daughter to be
