coronavirus and the world health organization is confirming our worst fears in the plants 2 weeks the number of cases. increases so as to unfold. and the number of affected countries has tripled we have that for many of the our system and that 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 citizens pocket 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 her 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. he's 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. as the anxiety spreads it also provides an opportunity for the unscrupulous to cash in those are 2 stroller dubinsky reports now from papers. 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 told watch on her and when you're out in the boat touching everything from . $200.00 to picking up things in shops it's a bit difficult to run into a both room to 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 have the schools the town halls the public transport company everybody wants gel 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 when you take the degree regulating the prices of hierarchical the jails 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

a wolf 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 smoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete face covering in public spaces police investigation found the d.c. police were pretending to be police wearing a mask for health reasons is absolutely not illegal. there are trying to pick on the weak 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 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 were 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 the early washing our hands with soap and water it's that simple . so remember to case well physically as we've been told to be is is such but the

acronym keep it simple stupid and don't get caught. ski. paris as crisis develops more and more stories are coming out about the effects on regular people case in point is the small greek island of lesbos which recorded its 1st in faction a few days ago and that and fuel to the fire because the island is also struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in a crowded camp where conditions are dire eventual success has been hearing from the islanders. i'm standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the list 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 with the spread of the 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 fires 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 to be one of the feel unloved infection spread further you can imagine what will happen if they put up with 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 affected but also my touring the whole island of less possibly in trouble i have family on 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 living 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 and we spoke to

refugees who are living in the scalp for many many years now they have a different opinion this chris sligh but at least. a lot of people here now you don't know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have meant. to see us and i'm sick but they're not even treating me nobody's paying any attention but he's in a kind of virus he's already here even if you are in the hospital it does not help much because you cannot be cured you know that i sleep in a container with other people but the. senior. bankers are warning the world to brace for an economic shock as well the head of the european central bank says leaders need to act urgently to contain the spread of infections global stock markets have suffered record falls in recent days also crude prices well they took their sharpest weekly dive since the 2008 financial crisis as supplies far outstripped drying demand and it wasn't just down to the health crisis of price war

broke out which saw saudi arabia diggin after oil producing nations failed to reach agreement on cutting production. of 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. the virus spreading fears grow of a global pandemic a huge bike increases 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 truck 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 my 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 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 hope that 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 they're now selling oil cheaper than it costs them to. reduce 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 in the privacy of the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even if it. 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 only work for a while and after that well they'll be no point in padding because it will be too late. the russian and turkish military as have carried out their 1st joint patrol along a new security corridor in syria's war 20 italy province it comes after the 2 sides finalized the details of a ceasefire agreement that was struck in moscow earlier this month there deal established a 6 kilometers deep buffer zone on either side of the m 4 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 russian military did encounter some opposition along the road on sunday saying it changed its route to avoid risking civilian casualties terrorist civilians including women and children as human shields the russian turkish coordination center decided to shorten the route distance to avoid any incident that could result in civilian suffering. video of one disturbance on the highway earlier shows a group of syrians protesting against the joint patrol the men burned 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 ankara of failing to abide by the and sochi agreements by not separating the extremist factions from the more moderate groups political analyst yusuf erema believes the joint patrols can still 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 damage we've seen what the americans have done in iraq go 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 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. on the u.s. election now 2 states are postponing their presidential primaries over health concerns george in louisiana will now have to wait a further 2 months to go to the polls meanwhile sunday night is the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the democratic party's. nation amid the covert $1000.00 panda pandemic and the decision has been made not to have a live audience during the debates one of the moderators also dropped out over

health concerns and the event was relocated nonetheless a former vice president is on a roll after clinching big wins in tuesday's primaries. all those who had been. all those had been counted let's be sure this is your campaign. just. many. cleared. now we're very much in line. 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 placed to be donald trump in november but it's hard to kill him up and comments the democratic primary stablish mint has already made up its mind despite a number of gaffes. the race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and it's pretty clear where the bets are going they are 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 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 in trade 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 our kids who are just as bright and just as chalons 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 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. 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 who saw him with sarah palin we've seen him in the past the

question is does he still have his job and it's funny 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 act if he promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one thing trumps efforts to investigate his heating. opponent r.t. predicted detroit 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. has 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 trying 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 in my family then they explain that the people is too big and then 26 to make good engaged after trying for 4 to 5 months. without me being able to conceive with any thought i should go see a doctor just thought it was just my. infertility issues dr will prescribe

medication opera fine and when it goes there that's when i had 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 am 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 a lie that when i met with dr edward who confirmed that he was in 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 what. so i thought africa's commission for gender equality has investigated complaints from 48 different 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 $4000000.00 women are each every 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 documentation the report pushed south africa's health minister to investigate the victim we spoke to says that she is not even a hiv positive. i'm not a charity positive our high. offices they're quite aware of this and i'll say this in the camera they are quite aware of the practice and you know doing anything new i mean is being held accountable it seems like our doctors am above the law i didn't the same 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 same any consent form no woman deserves to go through what i am going through what and why 2 are all

going through it is literally lyster lives i do not want 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 very it's unbearable and most of all rights violated my rights as a human being we're very late had my right is a woman and with ted my reproduction right were taken away from me and no woman ever in south africa should go through what we are going through and that as for minutes i'll be back with more the weekly let's say 34 minute stay with us started about.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the presence of the full force will put a little try to use new york at the song and try to start with you shirtless with a cheetah you feel and i'd ministry's for war for your clothing not only do it is moving for bush but i will push. no. solution.

hello and welcome to worlds apart colonel gust of young a pioneering sway psychiatry's who is now seeing and now the rise to prominence more than 50 years after his dad. once remarked we don't solve our problems but

rather outgrow them this may be true for individuals but does it also apply to societies and if so why did our society why don't the economic and technological growth seem more than ever well to discuss that i'm now joined by dr james hollis a prominent analyst and author of the upcoming book living between 2 worlds finding personal resilience in changing times dr hollis it's a great privilege for me to talk to you thank you very much for your time. to be with you now let me start with the title of your upcoming book the 16th i believe to come out from under your pan changing times isn't that a bit of an oxymoron because history has never stopped evolving and the dynamics of personal development. everybody experiences a crisis at some point in our lives so other times i believe in the really so

extraordinary well not at all that's exactly the point we always live in changing times we always live in times of the changing structures of our society we live in times that are changes for ourselves crises of understanding of believe the roadmap that we were following etc it's just that we live in a particularly time of great disruption of what people thought were fixed beliefs fixed structures and fixed understanding's of self and world so the real question is how does anybody personally survive and adapt but also maintain a sense of core integrity during those changes that inevitably happen to us now i know that psych psychologists and even psychiatrists often see crisis and conflicts as focal points when long story problems and grievances finally get a chance to be addressed when people and societies renegotiate the outdated terms

of their coexistence doesn't that make crises not.
