not to understand the message from the authorities a lot of our fellow citizens are still taking this too likely but as they blame people for not abiding by the rules the authorities themselves are being accused of not taking proper care of those they placed on the front line unions or to you is that the ministry of interior hasn't provided offices with basic equipment such as face masks so much so the biggest police union has warned its members will walk out unless such things are made available there is no reason why we should be victims of a government failure to plan we want to carry out our duties to their fullest but need to be able to guarantee our own safety if the police themselves become contaminated all strike who will monitor the streets. security offices police and other people who are law and order in the country who need to be protected all

this parse does not distinguish between police medics and other citizens we're not even sure that we police officers not potentially infecting people when we do our checks so we need mosques and other protects quitting and to keep us safe and others. if the police get infected who will be able to keep the peace to morrow as force is quarantined drags along each day the list of what citizens can do is being tightened the police are called part of keeping order here if they walk out or if an infection takes hold within the ranks throngs could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 so much even ski r.t. powers. the world's biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide the company which owns brands such as skoda porsche gotti but more than 10000000 vehicles last year more than any other car producer. given the

present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group bronze. decision follow similar moves by other carmakers toyota b.m.w. venofer yet and more have all shut their plants during the global health crisis in the e.u. alone the sectors responsible for around $14000000.00 jobs jeffrey took an editorial director at the american institute for economic research because of the global economy being put under increasing pressure day by day. this is a kind of decision that the private sector has to make amends to some extent also the responding to demands to is for social doesn't seen and there's a lot of public pressure public sector pressure on private companies just to shut out riches and many ways tragic and i think there's going to be a lot of things to discuss after all this is over about who called for the

shutdowns and why and the extent to which there is actually in a kind of a rational calculation between the health risk and the obvious catastrophic economic costs of what's taken place in the world economy right now the pressure is growing by the day by the hour by the minute for for the politicians to line up their decisions public policy decisions with the actual documented health risks. a scandal is broken out in the united states where a number of senators are accused of exploiting their privileged access to information about the pandemic to sell their stocks before the markets plunged among them richard burr the head of the intelligence committee who sold his shares with up to $1700000000.00 he denies excitations amid calls for him to resign in a more than expected. richard burr u.s. senator and head of the senate intelligence committee reassured everyone that the

u.s. government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here is what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a public health threat like the coronavirus is word sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story here's a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the capitol hill club we want. you to she is. probably more you. need to. burry even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to alter your travel you might have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to europe is essential

or whether it can be done on a video conference why risk it's needless to say accusations are now flying that richard burr used his capitol hill inside info to help out his pals financially you remember when the stock market tanked right and tonight stock market futures are pointing to a higher open after the biggest point drop in history the dow losing more than 2000 points today and lot of investors repriced that a little shy of the crash we start in markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow fears over the coronavirus leading to the biggest point drop in history today well richard burr was pretty well unaffected because the gun loaded up to $1700000.00 of u.s. stocks just a week before the plunge now he says this is not because of any insider information he had overnight solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the sale of stocks on february 13th but calls for his resignation are growing. as into tam and sent to bergen private briefings about coronavirus weeks ago then you know

how bad it would be he told the truth to heal spouse adonis sure and the public that we will find that he sold off 1600000 instant before the foam he needs to resign senates a bush should resign and prepared to spend some quality time with a federal grand jury that maybe there's an honest explanation for what he did if there is he should share it with the rest of us immediately otherwise he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for insider trading but richard burr is not the only capitol hill to well or to make some slick stock market moves at just the right time.

now all of them are saying they had no control over these investment decisions they're also emphasizing that this was just good luck they had no insider knowledge well looks pretty bad especially for senator burr and laughlin who are pretty well connected of course senator byrd the chairman of the senate intelligence committee he was privy to you know secret briefings on the coronavirus and what the response to the coronavirus was going to be and how bad it might be all of that would be a problem for him as for the senator from georgia she has a rather problem and that her husband is the chairman of the new york stock exchange presumably pretty well connected and she's on a committee that oversees the health industry the bigger picture here is that we have public servants we have members of congress who are using their power into. not only in stock trades the problem is that the government has too much goodies to

give out so it's impossible for some of these people to resist a minute ashville crisis americans want their political leaders to be solving problems managing the issues and getting things done it seems like they're certainly doing that but on a more personal level caleb martin r.t. new york. we want the u.s. sect to state my pompei or has accused several countries including russia of spreading false information about the pandemic. issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this decision mission or is it. really diffused unfortunately but we've certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran but there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing an activity to to do all the things the president trying to set in motion here because there's no our accusations against russia are disinformation and takes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves let's take

a look at the presumption of innocence is there are you need evidence now evidence there can be any claims miles where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational campaign. earlier donald trump placed the blame for the spread of coronaviruses china's door saying the situation would be better if we known about the virus earlier i think that the world is paying a very big price for what beijing supposedly did but joined in the blame game accusing china of putting lives at risk the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson took to twitter to lash out at those accusations demanding pompei or stop lying so you know the chinese efforts that actually saved lives citing the world health organization and who are activists can stone things washington's like ization follow a long running pattern of blaming others for its mistakes. trump has discovered that the easiest most least controversial way to deal with

a problem in the us is simply to blame it on russia or china uni polar world ended in 2015 lend russia entered the syrian war on the side of it's the syrian government and foiled an attempt by the us for regime change in that country and since then russia china iran have been rising powers and a multi-polar world but mr make america great again is unhappy about that the us. is considers itself to be an exceptional country they have or they are and in international affairs a rogue state they're looking for conflict than to create conflict number one because it is very profitable for their war industries to create these kinds of conflicts and they're looking for conflict in order to put down their or their what

they see as their possible rivals in russia china and iran it's a it's a it's a sad situation but that's how the empire is act and. russia has more than 250 confirmed cases of coronavirus with 50 registered in the last 24 hours the government has announced a state of high alert in the country's regions. now we're into. playing is practiced musician. this is the record. this is. what is tonight he's playing in front of hundreds of empty seats.
