watching our to international bring your live news updates from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. putting the u.s. on to a war footing against the coronavirus president trump has said he's invoking the defense production act that says u.s. markets remain volatile and are headed into yet another bloodbath despite a massive financial stimulus package announced by the government on tuesday has the latest as everything seems to be called unaided in quite a crisis we have donald trump invoking the defense production at now that is a law that was 1st invoked during the korean war gives the government the ability to have industries escalate production the hope is that with the government invoking this act there can be an escalation and rapid production of masks. medical

supplies and other needed materials now donald trump has got a lot on his plate because the stock market took a very dramatic plunge we saw at this point what people are calling a historically unprecedented volatility on the new york stock exchange dramatic drops taking place in response to that we have donald trump saying that the white house is stepping up that americans will be receiving a check kind of a stimulus check to help to keep them spending during this time of crisis also some other measures are being taken here is donald trump will be invoking the defense production act just in case we needed the fuel knew what it is in the can do a lot of good things if we need it was together because we are all in this together and we'll come through together now donald trump has also spoken about the need to go after helping out specific industries that have been particularly badly hit by

the slowdown surrounding the coronavirus and the epidemic pandemic at this point there's talk of bailing out the airline industry and other other industries in the united states that are just not functioning normally not turning a profit at this point because of the slowdown so very very very dramatic need at this point as many many parts of the u.s. economy are just suffering many of pointed out that unemployment seems to be a logical outcome of this situation right now in what many describe as a gig economy in the united states at this point people won't be finding the work that they are used to finding and accustomed to finding as people are in their homes and as people have just slowed down we have the economy people not spending like they once were according to a study that was recently conducted one in 5 households in the united states has already experienced a layoff or a reduction in work hours as a result of the pandemic of coronavirus so at this. donald trump is addressing the

health issue and how to mobilize you know testing he's also dealing with the economic situation and how to bail out the united states amid some economic freefall that seems to be surrounding the coronavirus pandemic economic and financial commentator charlie boyle believes the impact of the virus will be bigger than the previous financial crisis we have a situation that we've never been before and that turns to the school sort of experience which means governments are going to have to individuals companies and corporations regardless of what you think about politically i think people are starting to wonder how what form that's going to stay so until we get a real sense of to troubleshoot something that ministration and in the u.k. and europe as to exactly what this detail at least they are it's going to be the markets are still going to be on top so the least for the next 2 weeks i would say

in 2008. the banks are in a much better shape but who are their lending money to the living mind individuals who move which is corporations that money and so on and we've got more debt all over the world. government debt the feds the student loans and we've all done it actually kind of from the last disaster and this is this is this crash this is not the great mostly because most people haven't even recovered from the last rites so i think it's actually could be worse certainly in terms of the it's a complete mess some right the number of confirmed cases of corona virus has topped 200000 worldwide but the death toll now at more than $8000.00 that's as world leaders scramble to contain the spread of the outbreak europe has become the epicenter and has now confirmed more cases than china on the u.s. all 50 states have now reported cases.

an entire countries are shutting down their borders russia has become the latest to deny entry to foreigners joining the likes of canada and the u.s. the e.u. has also restricted access. to limits to support of the various bubel we agreed to enforce all external borders by applying coordinates temporary wish to action of known essential travel to the e.u. . or so to do just friends meanwhile has put the whole country of 66000000 people on walked out army trucks have been seen on the streets of paris one large numbers of police deployed to ensure compliance. this report from the capitol. grounds is now we all looked out to break to lock down that would be in school the government has talked about deploying $100000.00 police officers to set up

fixed points to check people who are in their vehicles the word from the government to everybody in france is to self isolate president mark warner was incredibly clear when he came to the presidential address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through over and over is the problem is that. we are at war war to be sure we are not fighting another army knew another nation but the enemies that invisible and elusive that decision came to the french took the calls to stay at home and self isolate too likely in fact while balls in restaurants were being closed all around them and many here in paris came out to the parks to picnic to meet their friends all to sit by the same and do the same but no more. the government has announced new measures to limit new infections by

limiting contact between people as much as possible to amplify the impact of this measures paris parks and gardens will be closed. restriction these are really centered around self isolation so people have been told that they can leave their homes but the very specific reasons that could be to go for a medical appointment it could be a top up on food supplies or it could be to go for a walk for health reasons anybody leaving their property has also been told that they need to. be this in pakistan so to say why maybe even their home for some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool flouting that law or is court going out for a walk just socialize with their friends rather than for health reasons could face a fine of up to 135 years. the message is

clear stay at home these are containment measures similar to those with spain and italy all persons travelling must be able to justify their movements each person will have to carry a document certifying the reason of his or her journey. was another casualty of the new stricter regime is the 2nd round the ring is a collection which will now be postponed but many had already criticised the government for allowing the 1st round to take place while sproles was a partial lockdown. the makris are pushing the limits you do not say to 67000000 french people stay at home for an indefinite period on saturday evening but then on sunday morning leave your house and put your health and those of others in danger if the health situation got this bad was in thurston today to the point of closing almost all businesses in makes no sense to hold these municipal elections they must be postponed because they cannot be held fairly. holding the

municipal elections is completely incomprehensible and contradicts the measures non's by the prime minister i hope that the government will take responsibility and change its mind as the lockdown began and many played to the city possibly going to some of the homes here to stay friends and family anything to look to be isolated to give this time. see here france this idea of self isolation is something that many people fear many people who live below the idea of not tapping not social contact face to face school a 15 day period is something that they dreading in fact something else that they dreading is the fact that the government has said it's a 15 day minimum and that peace could be extended so they need people here from just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal show what you can

ski for r.t. in paris during the long time. italy remains one of the country's worst hit the death toll there has jumped by 475 it's the highest daily corded rise on record health care workers say they can't cope with the influx of patients and complain of exhaustion we spoke with a nurse and they said. and the comparison it into this time i'm just on mechanic and if i could just interrupt is out. there so it could. be to put up with a thought a new interest a pretty or do i even going to see what's in it just the sound difference to take a. little to be in amman. jordan for the interim in egypt and. this is the sort of down to the biggest one i know we all got on camera 72 up. to do but i'm going to share

this it is him to get it out on the cosmic get a diplomat if you put it down to get it to keep it was a bit do what it could be the time to sit. down to percentage a minute on the citizen of the sword it would have been. takes a lead. the regional director for europe at the world health organization has urged nations to take a bolder approach in the fight against the pandemic and china has said that and they've also said that china had set a good example the experience of joining a show that this thing. will bind with so should be distancing measures. when. i do. it but events in fictions and. the spread of the virus has slowed significantly in china which registered only 13 new cases on tuesday life is

returning to normal in previously hard hit regions and local lock downs are being partially lifted all domestic travel is starting to resume at the start of the outbreak china's tough response was heavily criticized as dull a quarter reports many countries have now started to adopt the same measures remember when only china had to deal with the coronavirus the west had plenty to criticize about beijing's handling of the crisis back then when europe and the us didn't have to get their hands dirty. rights districts measures should also be implemented with consideration to the public's willingness to comply with government control efforts now that the critics are in the same situation that china was in just a month ago it seems like they weren't creative enough to come up with their own solutions after the coronavirus ravaged europe governments across the continent started in forcing lockdowns people confined to their homes streets virtually empty just like in china at the height of the outbreak the. gatherings family get

togethers and social functions will no longer be familiar to walking to meet friends in the park or on the streets will no longer be possible any elderly daredevils that venture out of their homes could face have to finds or even a police baton and all the while militaries across the continent are mobilizing in switzerland it's the biggest since world war 2 and in france army convoys are becoming a regular sight in the suburbs. michael fauntroy. although it's not like they have many places to go the entire european union's closed its borders anyway and on top of that they'll be under the watchful eye of those dystopian police drones just like the chinese ones that frightened more than a few in the western media the country taking some extraordinary measures to contain this outbreak police are using drones equipped with a public address system to tell people to wear face masks and stay indoors to stop

the spread of coronavirus and drones are flying up to people in public and yelling at them for not wearing masks in fact we're hearing of mask shortages drones soldiers lockdowns whatever communist china does it the western media loves to call it all off thora tarion ism but what even makes these measures democratic or not at a time of crisis shouldn't people be focusing on which measures are the most effective. we discussed the situation with journalist and commentator chadwick moore and max abrams assistant professor of public policy at northeastern university in the u.s. joel crowe sees time to strengthen the hand of the executive we're seeing a tremendous increase right now in the federal government power in the united states so there is a need there's even some talk of you know about martial law curfews i think it's terrifying i think it's really disturbing and it's you know there are some

constitutional scholars out there that debate whether how constitutional is i think it's it's shocking how easily americans will give up their liberty but that said the u.s. is a democracy in china is an authoritarian country but in general in terms of the continuum between democracy limited government and the porch areas of u.s. government is moving more and interaction of china while still trying to maintain some overtime a kind of norms i think that max is absolutely correct that we're seeing just how swiftly the state can expand out how it can come in and become more authoritarian and you know in new york city right now it's a ghost town here and it and you know the mayor wants to quarantine the entire city the governor won't let him know where's the where's the dip coming from it's coming from the hysteria that anik i mean we've got every restaurant and bar and retail store closing our biggest cities where i disagree with my colleague is that i

actually do view this threat as extraordinarily severe and and not just scary 'd. but consequential given the nature of the threat but it is reasonable for the government to intervene in reasonable ways to try to mitigate that threat particularly by enforcing social distance and so that we don't infect each other needlessly there's an insane amount of panic out there being driven by the media and meanwhile when you listen to the experts when you actually listen to them when you listen to the quote of ira's task force that they're very calm they're not freaking out and they're giving pretty simple basic instructions to people. on a lighter note with ever more countries putting their entire populations under quarantine millions have found themselves spending more time at home than usual it seems some are taking advantage the spanish couple still managed to exchange marriage by shopping out of their windows smite the government imposing a state of emergency on their wedding day they did not cancel the event and the

bride even threw her book a tradition demand as you can see right here. who recommends keeping up physical and mental activity when in home coroutine it's people should stand up and move every 30 minutes and do something physical from exercising to gardening or cleaning even recommends walking around the room or perhaps on the spot when speaking on the phone with more recommendations here soskin taylor. dia diary the last 2 weeks have been a bit surreal it's like we're living in some kind of weird parallel unify us people have returned to that animal instincts now nothing will come between a man and his new paper. coronaviruses cleared the streets and driven us into our homes i'm not going to lie

my main concern was about getting fact in the time of corona i mean i know i have a good running in the pocket i promised myself i'm the only thing i'm losing at the gym is money but still luckily though there are some fitness fanatics out there who are making sure we all keep moving in these claustrophobic times. but if the idea of exercising in public is your wost nightmare no fear. also this is a perfect time to combine getting to know your neighbor you've been avoiding for years with a hot healthy pursuit. i've also realized it will give me the opportunity to finally back my skills.

they do say you should have one task every day to keep you motivated also i did always think i had the potential to be an invaluable member of a quad but you know what the modern wilde's like harry hurry hurry no time for anything now though there are no excuses. see the. end of her soon 6 to phone. who said quarantine could be fun also for the last stooges among you lot of those hacks trick you teach online and get out of 5 plus only for the more adventurous among you ever wonder what a toilet seat tastes like yeah me neither. apparently she thinks coronavirus is for poor people tom hanks rude monch speaking of the

elite if you will mock it and don't want to suffer the humiliation of standing in a queue with hundreds of new roles and you'll try piled up don't worry because i've got you covered this elite ready to go package includes night vision goggles and purify and some with satellite messenger and it will only cost you $5000.00 such a snatch as a bonus to make you look like the potential that you are. i want mitt though there are some downsides to this whole self isolation thing like those tourists who went to spain such as some rays only to be put in quarantine and realize the sun never actually hit that balkany i am slightly disappointed that my skin will be taking water found pyrrhic tone in the coming months better than whiskey if not thousands . but really on balance it's not so by all those times i've wanted to

cancel on my friends but struggled to come up with a convincing reason no longer an issue my dislike of standing in places of more than 50 people at a time literally banned i've also was hated when people didn't respect my possible space now they literally have to stand a meter away from me and don't worry i haven't forgotten the most important thing i know we're all in lockdown i know we all think our house is a safe from the plague but washing your hands is a must. if the hamster can do it so can you. an old computer purchased on e.-bay by a group of german cyber security experts for just $100.00 has turned out to be priceless that's because buried in its data was a step by step guide on how to use one of the country's air defense systems. we've discovered something exciting the german army has lost city of its classified

data. the bar claims the law top contains a set of instructions on the use and maintenance of an advanced anti-aircraft system document also gave guidelines on how to destroy the system so enemies would not be able to deploy it the unit in question is currently in the arsenal of the national army it was 1st introduced almost 20 years ago and still serves as a defense barrier for military personnel against a low flying enemy or bombers and helicopters its missiles can reach targets up to 6 kilometers away the german defense ministry insists all computers use for the system should be destroyed the old computer is used for the fasces have all been decommissioned and sent for recycling with orders to raise will render existence storage media and usable it can be assumed that the narrate current during the recycling of the computer in question. from on this will cost live now to philip ingram former senior military intelligence and security officer now this

actually isn't the 1st case of its kind last year instructions for iraq at launch or came to light in the same way so how surprising is this. not surprising at all unfortunately people take short cuts when they're disposing of military equipment they don't think that electronic hard drives. can be read again after the put simple wipes across them and in this case it looks as if there was nothing done so it is a complete nutter mock up by those that were charged with disposing it. and at the same time the laptop's buyer claims that the past forward to access the secret data was extremely easy to guess how embarrassing is that well it's very embarrassing you the laptop was really quite old it was running windows 2000 the dots on it that about time cybersecurity wasn't as big an issue as it is today and putting it into context it was at the lowest classification so it's embarrassing it's nothing that's dangerous i suspect that with

a good bit of advance google searching you could probably find the manuals anyway and that's for a relatively old system but none of that's an excuse that should not have happened hard drives are usually taken out of military computers before they're sold on and the hard drives are destroyed separately this clearly hasn't happened here and the german disposal authority needs to make sure that they review their security procedures and that doesn't happen again and of course germany has repeatedly suffered from hackers and even detained its own citizens who leaked tons of personal data of german politicians does the government learn from its mistakes are we just going to keep this seeing this repeated. well i think you know every government suffers the same thing every government is trying very hard to learn from their mistakes and interestingly the german government has come on leaps and bounds actually in recent years so this is been floating around for a number of years and it's just fortunate or fell into the hands of or unfortunate

it fell into the hands of this cyber security company who managed to look at it because the computer system itself that was there was so old it's almost completely useless no one normally would want to buy it and they were buying it almost as i read it almost as a souvenir. as they're saying this is an old system an old computer and everything that mean that there's no danger really post here. there is denver post definitely because it's giving away some of the technical background to the air defense system probably not up to date almost certainly won't be able to do it because the computer system so world. however this sort of thing just shouldn't happen it is complete nutter carelessness in the disposal systems and people don't realize how much that can survive for long periods of time cuts are taken in the disposal of certain equipment that makes it. fantastic for it could be germany's enemies in wanting to look at ways of potentially country these are defense systems. we've

been speaking with philip former senior military intelligence and security officer thank you for your time and your comments my pleasure that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more head on over to our website are to dot com for countless articles and all of our shows thanks for tuning in this hour. trade and investment to become magic spells to conjure economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chocked or a trade agreement is about something very different but won't when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all the environment. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can be sued
