balconies across the capital on friday night. more than 12600 cases have been confirmed in france with 450 dead 4 regions and i was affected despite a nationwide lockdown meanwhile the police officers and forcing that locked down have their own safety concerns and i threatened to strike. has more. as millions of people in from saw it in confinement there is a core group of workers who are continuing the daily grind including police officers.

yet many continue to flout these regulations despite hefty fines and the risk of being locked up in jail. no one. can give you. the authorities are tearing their hair out over france's citizens known compliance with the confinement restrictions . there are people who think they're modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact. when i see people still going to the park to get together or heading to the beach or to open markets they seem 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've placed on the frontline unions or do you is that the ministry of interior hasn't provided offices with basic equipment such as face mosques 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 seducer security officers police and other people who are. 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 protect 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 cool part of keeping order here if they walk out if an infection takes hold within the ranks phones could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 so much even ski r.t. pairs or the french health system is also under a lot of strain in fact a french union shared with r.t. france a statement from one medic who volunteered to work with corona virus infected patients . my 1st day in intensive care for coronavirus patients i won't talk much i'm tired 12 hours in closed premises i want to share my feelings today i've seen terrible things i have never in my life seen thought images of long

i've seen people in critical condition are called. because of everything that could take care of yourself take care of your family. until everyone. economic ramifications also being felt too because the world's biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide the company which owns brands like skoda porsche built more than $10000000.00 vehicles last year 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 factories operated by a group bronze the decision follows similar moves by other auto manufacturers toyota b.m.w. fi it are among those who have shut their plans plants during the crisis in the e.u. alone the sector is responsible for around $14000000.00 jobs. within the latest episode

bodies being bussed to move to come. to tell us that the auto industry will take a long time to recover from the difficulties coast by the coronavirus crisis for the auto industry on global basis we're looking at a huge impact with every single manufacturer pretty much shutting down production we're not just talking about high end cars but everyday cars we've already seen a huge negative downturn when it comes to china they're off by about 80 percent so far for the 1st quarter but that may change they're starting to get back on line but here in the u.s. we're looking at last year's sales 17100000 cars. is recommending and they're stating they're somewhere around $14900000.00 we have not seen a downturn like this since 2008 this is going to impact a lot of us because if you look at the dow jones half of it is impacted by the auto industry either by a supplier or something that supports the auto industry so this is going to be a huge impact and it's going to go a long time for us to recover. i don't to be to doom and gloom here but we have had

gas after gas telling us we are already facing a recession maybe even a depression is coming will all of these auto manufacturers the giants will they make it out of this crisis or we could see consolidation what is going to happen moving forward i think you're going to see some consolidation it makes sense that companies partner to share technology to share platforms to share drive trains everybody makes it to a leader turbo engine if more people start sharing that technology what that's going to do is allow them to make it personalized when it comes to the vehicle the features themselves so i think you're going to see a lot of consolidation i don't think we're going to see them going out of business but the impact to the stocks is going to be a long time to turn around there's also some talk about the auto 'd industry wanting to delay the implementation of the u.s. embassy a trade deal known as the new nafta do you know what's going on there. yeah the u.s. census is supposed to start on june 1st but they are everyone's now off no one's working and so this is

a problem so they can't get the regulations in place so they're asking to push it back to delay because that's going to make 75 percent of cars being built here for north america using north american components which is good for restarting the industry but we don't have the regulations in place that are asking to push it back just a little bit it's supposed to go in place june 1st and that all depends on this pandemic and how long it takes for us to start we're covering pandemic is also causing problems for the u.s. job market with the country's unemployment rate seeing one of the largest spikes on record the u.s. labor department has reported several $100000.00 claims filed jeffrey tucker editorial director at the american institute for economic research warns that the global economy is under severe strain. because there were i don't even think economists have agreed that it's not recession it's not it's it's it's imaginable levels of of shock and the data are going to. give you

a clear prediction what the unemployment numbers are going to look like that we're going to be seeing soon but i almost certain that millions have already lost their jobs and this just cannot go on much longer without dismantling everything we call civilized life just just cannot go so the pressure is growing by the day by the hour by the minute tour for the politicians to line up their decisions public policy decisions with actual documented health risks which are becoming ever clearer as testing is going on. meanwhile u.s. senators have been the keys of exploiting their privileged access to information about the pandemic to make a quick buck that's after they sold sold off a large number of shares right before the markets plunged among them in for its. he's the head of the intelligence committee he sold stocks with up to $1700000.00 but he does deny the accusations of foul play amid calls to him to resign.

richard burr u.s. senator and head of the senate intelligence committee reassured everyone that the us government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here's 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. she is. probably more. even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact

that you may have to 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 is 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 pentagon 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 he on 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 the scene but richard burr is not the only

capitol hill to well or to make some slick stock market moves at just the right time. as into tam and sent to bergen private briefings about coronavirus weeks and then you know how bad it would be to tell the truth to him spouse adonis showing the public that we were fine that she so don juan ponce higgs may then talk before the phone he needs to resign senates a but 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 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. the senator from georgia she has a no other 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. health industry the bigger picture here is that we have public servants we have members of congress who are using their power and position

not only in stock trades the problem is that the whois government has too much goodies to give out so it's impossible for these for some of these people to resist a minute ash 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 mop and r.t. new york meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state mike pump has accused several countries including russia of spreading false information about the pandemic. issue a decision from a should is there any particular locus for this decision or mission or is a defeatist pretty 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 in our cavity to to do all the things the president trying to set in motion here because this allow accusations against russia 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 accusations you need avon's we've now added that there can be any claims moral right it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational complaint. we learned on trump place the blame for the spread of the corona virus that china's door alleging that the situation would now be better if he'd known about the virus earlier the president added that the world was paying a very big price for beijing supposed inaction and joined in the blame game to accusing china of putting lives at risk while the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson took to twitter to lash out at those accusations demanding that stops lying she noted too that china's efforts have actually saved lives citing the world health organization and he war activists ken stone thinks that washington's accusations follow a long running pattern of blaming others for its mistakes while the whole world's

been looking out without admiration at the way socialist countries such as china and cuba handled this and. the u.s. administration has been exposed completely as an apt in dealing with the corona virus trampas 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. now our people around the world are trying to figure out what to do in quarantine at home. looks at whether popular streaming services are actually ready for the spike in demand self isolation if we're being honest is as much about spending time with netflix as it is about saving your ground law from coronavirus. catching up with your favorite shows that i gave one to 10 guilt free. in
