donald trump invokes a wartime law as an emergency response to the virus break forcing companies to production of vital equipment. shuts its borders for us to limit the spread of. measures in the block which our correspondent reports from paris. leaving the pope is also being told that they need. to see the stats to see. the world health organization urges countries to follow beijing's example of impose tougher restrictions 5th fight that. is the situation in china begins to ease.

your tuning in this hour from a very warm welcome to moscow and to r.t. international i mean a new me. president said he is invoking wartime powers to force industry the. 19 break senate republicans are also pushing for an economic stimulus package worth up to a trillion dollars but the drastic measures have so far failed to calm the markets as caleb maupin reports as everything seems to be. 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 in. histories 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 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 and 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 others that last point we just want to explain the 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 sort of experience which means governments are going to have to individuals companies and corporations regardless of what you think of that politically and i think people are starting to wonder how what. so until we get

a real sense 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 the markets are still going to be married on top so the least for the next 2 weeks i would say in 2008 now now the balance the banks are in a much better shape but who are their lending money to the lending money to individuals to move which is corporations that money and so on and we've got more debt all over the world. government debt the fed debts student loans and we've all been trying to come in from the last it's not sr and this is this is this crash this is not the great mostly because most people haven't even recovered from the last gratz so i think potentially ringback it could be worse certainly in terms of the it's a complete mess from right. that's up that you know the the overall picture the number of confirmed cases of trauma

virus is now approaching 220000 worldwide that death toll from which stands at almost 9000 europe has become the epicenter has more cases than china while in the u.s. off 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 calendar and the u.s. the e.u. has also restricted access. to limits to support of the various bubel we agreed to enforce external borders by applying coordinates temporary wish to action of known essential travel to the e.u. folk preview it or 30 deuced. france meanwhile the entire country of 66000000 people on lockdown army trucks being seen on the streets of paris large numbers of police are being deployed to ensure compliance charlotte toobin ski

reports for us from the camp. grounds is now we're all on lockdown still ranked lockdown that would be in school the government has talked about deploying 100000 police officers to set up fixed points to check people who are in their vehicles. from the government everybody in france is to self isolate president mark one was incredibly clear when he came to the presidential address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through. is that france is that. we are at war war to be sure we are not fighting another army. another nation of the enemy invisible and. that decision came to the french took the calls to stay at home and self oyster late too

likely in fact while bulls and restaurants were being closed all around and many here in paris came out to the parks to picnic to meet their friends all to sit by the say and do the same but. 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 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 have one of the existing practice tests 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 these are containment measures similar to those not 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 in the spokes 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 losing 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 and many played to the city possibly going to some of the homes here to stay friends and family anything to be isolated in 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 having that 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 could be just 10 days that they need people here call it just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal shoulders people ski artsy in paris doing the lock down. or a neighboring it's. more bad news or afraid it has registered the highest single day death toll of any country since the outbreak started. the disease claim $475.00 lives there bringing the total to was $3000.00 italy wide medics say they are all able to cope with the influx of patients we spoke with a nurse in the city of placenta. and which is really on a computer so i have been stunned mechanic and if i could join up is out. there so we could. enjoy going out i could be too but it was interesting i thought annoyed

was the pity or even going to see what's in it just the sound difference to take a. little to be in a money game with a legit master. interim in the. british system it's just. down to the biggest one in o.e. on that i'm camera 72 up. to november to see if there still is in ticket did not anticipate it was because a kid had to put a match up you put it down to get it looking that was a big deal what it could be the time to sit. down to personal time to pursue the case of the saw and the 2 white had been bought. the same. the regional director for europe the world health organization has urged nations to take a border approach in the fight against the macand he said lessons should be learned

from china. the experience of china and show that this thing. called buying if so should be distancing measures and. when put in place quickly and effectively and but events in fictions and say life's just fleshing that out of the spread of the virus appears to have almost stopped in china only 13 new cases were registered on tuesday all of them in who bay province lock does in most cities are being partially lifted while domestic travel is starting to resume to at the start of the outbreak china's tough response was heavily criticized but as donal quarter reports many countries have no started to adopt the c m. 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 locked out 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 permitted to meet friends in 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 mass 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 into the further we discuss the situation with journalist chadwick abrams 1st of all next is assistant professor of public policy at northwestern and northeastern university in the u.s. let's take a listen. it 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 the reason it there's even some talk 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 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

a direction of china while still trying to maintain some of our time accredit 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 the debt 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 crowd of iris hask force that they're very calm they're not freaking out and they're giving pretty simple basic instructions to people. well with ever more countries putting their entire populations on their quarantine millions of them so spending more time at home than usual and some are making the most of the situation this polish couple still managed to exchange mortgage dollars by shutting out of the window despite the government imposing a state of emergency on their wedding day they did not cancel the event. and even. good for them w.h.o. recommends keeping up physical mental activity when in home quarantine it says people should stand up move every 30 minutes or so and do something physical from

exercising to gardening cleaning it even recommends walking around the room or perhaps on the spot when speaking on the phone and not all. thinking. 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. coronavirus has cleared the streets and driven us into our homes i'm not going to lie my main concern was about getting out 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 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 powerful time to combine getting to know your neighbor you've been avoiding for years with a hot healthy pursuits. 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. them c soon 6 you. who said quarantine couldn't be fun also for the last studious among you love those hacks trick your teacher online and get out of 5 chill 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 wouldn't miss it there are some downsides to this whole self isolation thing like those tourists who went to spain and 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 want to found parrot toad in the coming months. the risk you thought 1000 very high but really on balance it's not so bad 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 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 houses are safe from the plague but washing your hands is a must. if the hamster can do it so can you. prove a c concerns are being raised in israel which has decided to truck people with coronavirus using their mobile phone data polis leader goes through hard work so in the role of occasions. 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 cheer 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 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 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 and 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 an isolated instead of isolating an entire country israel is not unique 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 privacy to contain the virus and while the authorities stop or tracking once the pandemic is over i'm afraid. after this one time that the government but. it would be a. sleepy way to using it again in august 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 everything at 8 o'clock in the news is because of his

legal situation one is nothing really 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. automatic allow the list them here or in things the luck of public trust in prime minister benjamin netanyahu will make a difficult for the government to implement any containment plan. 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 these really public but then you know government it has lost its credibility and therefore suspect in its handling of this crisis in

a time you know him self 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 rezone personal or political advantage or not is our love for this our hope you'll keep me company again and just over 30 minutes when i'm back with all the latest global news headlines stay tuned for more great programs kicking off in moments. each simulating civilization would be able to run using a tiny fraction of its resources. hundreds of thousands millions of runs through all of human history almost all. beings with our kinds of experiences would then be

simulated ones rather than known simulated ones and conditional now that are good we should think fearful that one of the simulated ones. show the same wrong. but old quotes just don't call. me again yet to say power does they become sick as a kid and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

i'm after a time when we're 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 a form of big pharma president don't just from being tested but go with 19 we are going to tally and don't know what the situation is like there and how bad it will get in britain does boris johnson's government consider itself part of the poetry in the hood immunity extinction rebellions professor richard reid explains the u.k. catastrophe with kobe the 18 plus the most lethal terror attack in the u.k. history britain conspired to cover up of them all could be involving u.s. intelligence libya and iran we told you so let's try more on more about winning an

appeals court hearing what some call the worst miscarriage of justice in the u.k. legal history all of them all coming up in today's going underground fast let's go straight to hospital in modern up where we're joined via skype by dr giovanni growled the infectious disease specialist was at the forefront of the italian fight against corona virus thank you so much giovanni for coming on what is the current situation in northern italy where your boy will of this equation is pretty large because of course we've got hundreds of people that go to do you think should try to cool down a lot of course that this is feasible we've got it for us all so basic we should be trying to understand which kind of action we need to do so that to 2 people that's a whole when simple and with. just stations who got rescued out there and you stress a soul of course it's a difficult situation sometimes we ask the patient a. couple of days they will come anyhow because they are getting worse there's also been delays.
