itself begins. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team and myself you know new hello and a very warm welcome. president trump said he is invoking wartime powers to force industry to tuck. 19 break senate republicans are also pushing for an economic stimulus package worth up to 8 trillion dollars but the drastic measures have so far field to calm the markets and report. 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 invoking the defense production act just in case we needed the fuel knew what it is. 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. well financial analyst charlie boyle believes the impact of the virus will be bigger than the last 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 of that politically i think people are starting to wonder how what form that's going to stay so until we get a real set of details from an administration and in the u.k.

and europe as to exactly what this detail at least they are it's going to be that 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 the only money to really mind individuals for mortgages corporations that might be insolvent we've got more debt all over the world. government debt the feds debts student loans and we've all done to try and recover from the last disaster and this is this is this crash this is not the great mostly because most people haven't recovered from the last rites so i think potentially could be worse certainly in terms of the day it's a complete mess from right. when the number of confirmed cases of krona virus is now approaching 220000 worldwide the death toll from that stuns to almost 9 percent europe has become the

epicenter has more cases than china while in the u.s. all 50 states at this point have recorded cases entire countries are shutting down their borders russia has become one of the latest to deny entry to most foreigners joining the likes of the u.s. as well the e.u. by the way has restricted access let's go through some of it. 2 limits to support of the various beliefs we agreed to we enforce all external borders by applying coordinates temporary wish to action of known essential travel to the e.u. folks here at or so to do this from the entire country of 66000000 people on lockdown army trucks have been seen on the streets of parks and large numbers of police have been deployed to ensure compliance. reports now from the. front is now we're all on lockdown to break lock down that would be in school

the government has talked about worrying $100000.00 police officers to set up fixed points to check people who are in their vehicles the word from the government everybody in france is to self isolate president mark one was incredibly clear when he gave the presidential address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through over is that problem is that. we are at war i helped war to be sure we're not fighting another army knew another nation but the enemies that invisible and elusive the new me that decision came to the french took the calls to stay at home and self isolate to likely in fact while balsa 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 say and do this say 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 to just state why 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. if the message is clear stay at home searches and these are containment measures similar to the recent spain and italy as all persons travelling must be able to justify their movement s. each person will have to carry a document certifying the reason of his or her journey if it was another casualty of the new stricter regime is the 2nd round the ring is a collection which will now be the spoke 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 lockdown began and many played to this city possibly going to see some of the homes here to stay friends and family anything to look to be isolated to give this time a merchant 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 for 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 should be easy to understand that many people here

in france just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal charlotte people ski artsy in paris during the long time. neighboring it's only registering the single day death toll of any country since the prick to go on wednesday of the disease claimed $475.00 lives there bringing the total to almost $3000.00 actually white medics say they are unable to cope with the influx of patients we spoke with a nurse in the city of richmond. and we took that literally on a computer so i had been took his time and justice done magic and if i could have enough is out. there cynical even. in jordan i could be to put up with bit interested i thought annoying 1st the pretty or the worst campbell been going at it what's in it just the sound different to take a. little to be in

a money manager not. interim into egypt. just to sort of be on the downtown atlanta to the biggest one in o.e. on that i'm camera 72 up quick. to do what i'm going to here and there still is in tippett i'm krista tippett with because a good way to put a man if you put it down to get a look at that was a big do it it could be time person. down to person it is done in my time to pursue the case of the saw and it would quite have been. take the same. oh you know hard hitting emotional testimony from the front line there and it's like well 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 he said lessons should be learned from china. the experience of joining

a show that this thing and racing will bind with so should be distancing measures. when put in place quickly and effectively and put events in fictions and safe lifes. when we know the spread of the virus appears to have almost stopped in china only 13 new cases were registered on tuesday all of the problems locked up in most cities are being partially lifted while domestic travel is starting to resume at the start of the break china's tough response was heavily criticized but as double quarter reports many countries have no 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 to strict 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 enforcing lockdowns people confined to their homes streets virtually empty just like in china at the height of the outbreak. gatherings family get togethers and social functions will no longer be from it it will come 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 find 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. to bomb front. 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. let's get further into the we discussed the situation with journalist chadwick brims assistant professor of public policy at northeastern university in

the us. and showed all 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 out there isn't it and 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 are 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 who can roll in terms of the continuum between democracy limited government can afford terry doesn't the u.s. government is moving more into direction of china while still trying to maintain some of our time credit norms 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 government let him know where's the where's it 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 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 growth of iris taskforce that they're very calm they're not

freaking out and they're giving pretty simple basic instructions to people. and whatever more countries putting their entire populations under quarantine millions have fun themselves spending more time out home than usual. are making the most of the situation this spanish couple still managed to exchange. by shutting out of the window despite the government imposing a state of emergency hell no wedding day they did not cancel the event the bride even threw her bouquet. in the w.h.o. recommends keeping up physical or mental activity when home quarantine it say's people should stand dolphin move every 30 minutes and do something physical from exercising to gardening if it is indeed an option and cleaning it even recommends walking around the room or perhaps on the spot when speaking on the phone and all

of her saskia taylor thank you. 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. work. coronaviruses 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 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 that this is a puff that 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 organization of 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 the 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 less studious among you lot of those hacks trick your teacher 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 rolls and you'll try to piled up don't worry because i've got you covered this elite ready to go package includes night vision goggles and a purifier 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 would have met though there are some downsides to this whole self isolation thing like those tourist who went to spain in search of 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 and found parrot tone in the coming months better than the risk you thought were trying but really on balance it's not so bad all those times i want 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 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. do me your privacy concerns are being raised in the israel who have . to trust people with crowbars using their mobile phone data spinning how about works and the consequences of occasions are all got to fall asleep. 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 the cio location data from people's cell phones to track who's been in contact with know that guy was areas and to send him

text messages to alert them to the problem and to get them also to self isolate here is it is a measure that will thirty's 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 warning 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 and 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 arise should be trampled without restraint levels that are totally disproportionate to the threat of the problem the 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 and isolated it instead of

isolating an entire country israel is not too meek it is joy in china me ran in this population trekking journey and it's no secret that our cellphones 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 will the authorities stop it or tracking once the pandemic is over i'm afraid after. one time that the government but. it would be. sleepy way to using it again on the 2nd stan says which i'm not sure. i will agree with. 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 nothing really important because the other didn't know about everything back yeah 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 will see about. all the political analyst a mere or and things the lack of public trust in prime minister benjamin netanyahu will make it difficult for the government to implement any containment plan. these really probably in this particular crisis would prefer health and prevention of contagion epidemics over almost anything but this is not the cure for these really public but then you know government it has lost its credibility and therefore suspect in its handling of this crisis you know him self he's also with 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 rezone personal or political advantage but our website delves deeper into all of those stories if you'd like to know more and why not leave your thoughts there too i'm back in just over 30 hope to see event.

the outbreak and spread of the corona virus has become a black swan event for the global economy is no longer whether the u.s. and other economies will slip into recession the question now is how long the recession will last it's going to get worse before it gets better. everything of collapsing against the dollar. so how long will it last probably not a long time because. as we've seen during brain woods or through the plaza toward of the 1980 s. there's going to have to be a global coordinated sit down to rearrange the global 4 x. market rearrange the global currency grid and the dollar is not the thing we're

going to have to match it against because that runaway balli when the dollar is what's causing this deflation and that's what's causing the depression part 2. when we were inside is totally different from outside people watched movies in they have to take on what prison is like but they don't know. what it is to be and we

have to take you. to a whole lot of things but we take you. to see. me and i used to. be an abnormal situation but you have to make do so you try to figure.
