watching r t international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 10 pm 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 a native and quite a crisis we have donald trump invoking the defense production act now that is a law that was 1st invoked during the korean war gives the government the ability to have industries aska late 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 involved in the defense production in. just in case we needed the fuel knew what it is that can do a lot of good things if we need it was together because we are all loose together and will 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 point 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 turly 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 side of streams which means governments are going to have to say about individuals companies and corporations now regardless of what you think about politically i think people are starting to wonder what form that's going to say so until we get a real sense of details from an administration and the leader and europe as to exactly what this detail at least they are it's going to be the markets are still

going to be very volatile so at least for the next 2 weeks i would say in 2008. the banks are in a much better shape but who are in the money for living might individuals for mortgages corporations that money and so on and we've got more debt all over the world we're going to call. it the fed's 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 potentially could be worse certainly turn of the day it's a complete mess some right. a number of confirmed cases of corona virus has topped 200000 worldwide but the death toll now at more than 8000 that's as world leaders scramble to contain the spread of the outbreak europe has become the epicenter and now has more confirmed cases than china all in the u.s. all 50 states at this point have recorded cases.

and entire countries are shutting down their borders russia has become the latest to deny entry to foreigners joining the lights of canada and the u.s. the e.u. has also restricted access. to limits district of the various bubel we agreed to enforce external borders by applying coordinates temporary wish to action of essential travel to the e.u. folk preview it or 30 days to france meanwhile has put the whole country of 66000000 people on walked out army trucks have been seen on the streets of paris a large numbers of police deployed to ensure compliance are to charlotte n.c. sent this report from the capitol. grounds is now on lockdown to break to lock down that would be in school the government has talked about cloying $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. 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 so forth so late too likely in fact while bowls and 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 senate 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. the 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 to 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 have one of this in pakistan so to say why he'd been leaving their home for some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool flouting that law or unschooled 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 in 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 thursday in 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 last time began many played to the city possibly going to take her to state friends and family anything to be isolated in this time. see here problems this idea of self isolation is something that many people would be and 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 these could be extended so they need people here call it just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal charlotte you

can ski on street in paris doing the look down. at the remains one of the country's worst hit the death toll there has jumped by 475 is the highest daily rise on record health care workers say they can't cope with the influx of patients and complain about exhaustion we spoke with a nurse and they say the. and which really am a computer so it into the stomach just on the mechanic if i could join up is out. there so they could. enjoy it or not i could be too but it was just good i thought annoyed with the pretty or door scam will be even going to see what's in it just the sound difference just like a. little to be in a month. or the interim into. a system to sort of be on with downtown atlanta to the biggest one in the way you will get them cameras that meets your quit. to do but i'm going to share our best

to. to get it out on piece of it was because a kid had to put a mat if you put it down to get it to keep it was a bit do i give you the time to sit. down 2 percent of the minute time to pursue the case in the store and it would have been. to say leave. 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 said china had set a good example. it is an old show that this thing. called bahrain if so should yours and. when. i do. but events in fictions and see. the spread of the virus has slowed significantly and 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 but as john mcwhorter reports many countries have now started to adopt the same measurements. 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. gathering's family get

togethers and social functions will no longer be familiar 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 hefty fines 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 todd with more and max abrams assistant professor of public policy at northeastern university in the u.s. . joel crises tend 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 isn't 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 better 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 authoritarianism the u.s. government is moving more into direction of china while still trying to maintain some of our time a kind of norms i think that that max is absolutely correct that it 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 close in our biggest cities where i disagree with my colleague is that i actually do you view this threat as extraordinarily severe and and not just

scary. but consequential given the nature of the threat it is reasonable for the government to intervene in reasonable ways to try to mitigate that threat particularly by enforcing social distancing 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 and you listen to the crowd 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. with ever more countries putting their entire populations under quarantine millions have found themselves spending more time at home than usual and it seems some are taking advantage this spanish couple still managed to exchange marriage vows by shutting them at each other out of the window by 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 demands as you can hear. the w.h.o. recommends keeping up physical and mental mental activity when in home quarantine is that 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 saskia taylor. did 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. coronavirus has cleared the streets and driven us into our homes i'm not going to

lie my main concern was about getting fat in the time of corona i mean i know i have to go running in the park like i promised myself the only thing i'm using 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 to move. 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. 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 the risk you thought you were drawing but really on balance it's not so. 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 personal space now they literally have to stand a meter away from me diary 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. privacy concerns are being raised in israel which has decided to track people with corona virus using their mobile phone data with more details here's a pulse lier. israel is fighting corona virus with a little digital help the government has approved a new emergency measure of tracking mobile phones in order to contain the spread of

the virus israel is a democracy and we must maintain the balance between civil rights and the public's needs these tools will very much assist us in locating the sick and stopping the virus from spreading the idea is to use that year location data from people's cell phones to track who's been in contact with known by was areas and to send them text messages to alert them to the problem and to get them also to self isolate here is it is a measure that all parties normally use for tracking extremists and terrorists it wasn't so long ago that people were asking the same question should we hand over our privacy for a greater good civil rights activists in israel warned it is a slippery slope it's a dangerous precedent and the slippery slope that must be approached unresolved of the much debate and not after a brief discussion even in crises of this nature the core of civil rights in a democracy must be preserved i understand that infection in contagion and the spread of the virus must be prevented but it's inconceivable that because of the

panic so right should be trampled without restraint levels that are totally disproportionate to the threat of the problem that prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is still fighting for power claims that this tool is more effective than isolating the whole country this is an effective tool to locate the virus an isolated instead of isolating an entire country israel is not to meet it is joy in china me ran in this population trekking journey and it's no secret that our cell phones contain more information about ourselves than even we know of course it's information that can be used for both good and evil which is why everyone's fighting to excess said the question remains are you willing to give up your publicity to contain the virus and while the authorities stop or tracking once the pandemic is over i'm afraid after. one time that the government but. it would be. slipping away to using it again in august 2nd stan says which i'm not

sure. i will agree with. for much i say that everything needs to be done to stop the disease the shows that you know he makes every evening at 8 o'clock in the news is because of his legal situation one is not to be important because. the other to know about everything they've actually i'm in favor of following corona patients by phone so that we don't all get sick with it and then the surveillance on the phones will stop i think in any case everything you write on google and facebook and you pass on a card everyone knows your information today so it's no problem to follow you it prevents infection you would see about. political analysts i mean or and things the lack of public trust in prime minister netanyahu will make it difficult for the government to implement any containment plans these really probably in this particular crisis would prefer held and prevention of contagion epidemics

over almost anything but this is not the issue for the israeli public but then you know government has lost its credibility and therefore suspect in its handling of this crisis nathaniel himself he's also a defendant in a criminal trial because he has been indicted for bribery and other offenses so whenever he says something he's suspect of trying to play for rezoned personal or political advantage. an old computer purchased on e bay by a group of german cyber security experts for just a $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 hasn't lost any of its classified dates or on either. the bar claims the laptop contain

a set of instructions on the use and maintenance of an advance anti-aircraft system the documents also give guidelines on how to destroy the system so enemies wouldn't be able to deploy that unit in question is currently in the arsenal of the national army was 1st introduced almost 20 years ago and still serves as a defense barrier for military personnel against low flying anime bombers and helicopters its missiles can reach targets up to 6 kilometers away the german defense ministry admits there might have been a mistake in destroying its old computers the old computers used for the fasces have all been decommissioned and sent for recycling with orders to raise or render existence storage media usable it can be assumed that the narrate current during the recycling of the computer in question it's very embarrassing you the laptop was really quite old it was running windows 2000 the dot 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 classifications but none of that's an excuse this 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 there is a danger posed definitely because it's giving away some of the technical background to the air defense system and people don't realize how much that can survive for long periods of time short 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 in these or defense systems that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports.

it's seemed wrong. to me. to shape our disdain to come out ahead and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. time after time they were going underground amid intensifying criticism of neo liberal nato nation handling of the coronavirus pandemic as china and cuba lead the global fight back against the virus arguably coming up in the show as the u.k. government's medical advice provided by
