i recall some time over the last it was a parking lot. in the big stories of the last 7 days this sunday the croatian capital is hit by the strongest earthquake in 140 years and sees people flee buildings and onto the streets despite public coronavirus restrictions. guarding headline news from the e.u. shuts its borders for a month to limit the spread of coded 19 with france imposing the strictest measures anybody leaving the property has also been told that the. law says that it's just a. big. u.s.

lawmakers push for a cross party rescue deal to save the economy of the pandemic leaves markets dealing with there was 2 weeks in the 2008 financial crisis. a very warm welcome this is r.t. international with the biggest stories of the past 7 days i make it good to have you with us our 1st to croatia earlier today a 5.3 magnitude earthquake in 2 off the shots struck the north of the capital zagreb local media say that a 15 year old who was found in the rubble of a building is critical in hospital several other people are reported to have been hurt. that was the moment the 1st tremors kicked in apparently caught by c.c.t.v. inside a shop. streets across the city all littered with daybreak and there's been significant

damage to several buildings quake is reported to be the strongest in the region in the past 140 years among the down which the top of one of the spires on the city's like tony cathedral collapsed there are also power outages and problems with water supplies in some areas the ass quake still worried citizens come out on to the streets stuff despite current advice to stay indoors to tackle coronavirus the croatian army is set to help the city ever come the quake aftermath we talked to one zagreb resident who shared her experience with us. i don't have electricity can my office larkin's so i have to come to a part of my sister to be able to know bequeath use i was sleeping and then i felt that in my heart for graves you know in my bed so of course i went out from my apartment with you know rym rym you were in this coronal situation and everybody

are saying that you you are not allowed to go are all who are you are thinking what to do i decide to go out and them are my neighbors were all so in front of the building believe me where i will saw inside of what you were what we will do will we be together you know are we really keep does this. horrible situation this morning. want to know if capable issue dominating everyone's thoughts the moment coronavirus latest on that it is now came 214000 lives worldwide with a number of confirmed cases that more than 330000 italy reached a grim milestone this week supposing china as the country to have suffered the most fate how they see it tony more than 5 and a half 1000 people on sunday alone more than 600 succumbed to the disease italy is now shutting down the production of non essential goods while in germany chancellor angela merkel has decided to self isolate after a doctor who had given her a vaccination tested positive for covert 19.

the european union sealed itself off to travelers from outside europe this week as part of wide ranging efforts to stop the spread of covert $92.00 limits district of the various bullet we agreed to enforce external borders both closed and coordinates temporary wish to action of essential travel to the e.u. through t.v. at or so to do this france has put the entire nation of 67000000 people on lockdown army trucks have been seen in the streets of paris while large numbers of police officers have been deployed to ensure compliance you can see now the effect of the measures on the city of toulouse in the country's southwest nobody thought and with tourists the streets are totally deserted so deep and ski reports from a nationwide quarantine. france is now what or look

to correct look down that would be in school the government is talked about applying $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 williams was incredibly clear when he came to the presidential address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through over and over 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 self isolate too lightly in fact while balls in 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 to people who 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 the existing practice tests or just state why he'd been leaving their home for some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool

flouting that law or is cool with 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 losing thursday in today to the point of closing almost all businesses in makes no sense to hold these misapply elections they must be postponed because they cannot be held fairly. holding the municipal elections is completely incomprehensible and contradicts the measure of the prime minister i hope that the government will take responsibility and change its mind as the long term began and maybe later the city possibly going to come and take her to state right now nearly anything to be isolated in this time. see here from this idea of self isolation is something that many people would be and many people who live alone 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 the said it's

a 15 day minimum and that these could be standing they need people here from just have no idea and their minds are going to return to normal scholer people ski auntie in paris during the long term. my colleague kevin owen discussed the pandemic with the world health organizations representative in russia. russia started we'd be imaginary there we are. preparing and that any word was spelled out by ratner general 5 prashar star general being at the incoming patients advise and then regular assessment actually are 8 putting in place all the 3 sets of measures including some some distance in the above story those make the rounds a little while but maybe doctors have been misdiagnosed in cases saying it was pneumonia but not saying how it been cold or whatever got any more info on the. actually i have had to i am several meetings and discussions do you know its

origins also on the subject mascara and what is going on is that you know me as well that have no reason that we are a cold agent has not been conclusive all the task before i was asked about is why we believe this is the right situation and the right picture is there going to be an element of people are going to be tired of staying home they're going to be rebellious about it you know it's going to get nasty are you worried about that somewhere down the law. actually what i do and i want to welcome how they're going to zation it drained out also having a package of measures and recommendations and guidelines and instruments of forgive people for good albums part of how service is how to support of people who are in isolation because i think they should have held it nationally for people who are low level they out there may well need social support just getting stressed out about this is especially if you love to buy yourself and haven't got a lot of family or in which to speak to it could be very worrying him pray in your

mind how are you going to cope without how the medical authorities as a w.h.o. going to cope with the article mending the thicket program whether they are you receiving god an application for mobile phones whether they sing the t.v. whether they think the hotline to keep people and talk but keeping them safe that's going to be very important not come to your seeing volunteer for example muck around who have volunteered who are funding to fix the hawk line that is long lines and not only people who have arrived programs. are calling all the common people who have not traveled anywhere were concerned the big question is will the medical person how long is this likely to go on we heard about as maybe of 12 weeks now you know was this always really going to be on the cards or just one told it. no it is very difficult to say and does so there are people on the stand that isolation and stopping are contacts ok so action is conducted to sort of we can break the chain

of the transmission we actually won't let this we've been through what china did it . really well let us see we are learning as we are going step by step really an intensive. task although we're balt there are several important vaccine producers including in russia drying that out because we need a safe and effective vaccine oh i'm not going for research and development such that brings all the brains together are so we do hope that through this massive joint of course you're going to be able to bring somebody new in the foreseeable time. the u.s. senate is due to vote on a stimulus package later this sunday to inject stability into the economy after 2 weeks of plummeting stocks and months layoffs a bipartisan deal hasn't been reached yet but it's reportedly getting close told congress leaders will get together for their final discussions that later president

trump revealed the initial plan on tuesday. by making shared sacrifices and temporary changes we can protect the health of our people and we can protect our economy because i think our economy will come back very rapidly one day we'll be standing possibly up here will say well we won and we're going to say that sure if you're sitting there we're going to say that and we're going to win and i think we're going to win faster than people think i hope. among the trillion dollar plus emergency measures on the table are tax rebates and measures to help struggling small businesses one of the president's core ideas is to directly mail checks to americans negotiators have also apparently agreed to boost paid sick leave a suggestion made by the democrats which have remained a sticking point between them and the republicans markets reacted positively to the news on tuesday with jazz jumping slightly mostly though those markets spent the week struggling with friday's closure marking the was 2 weeks since the 2008 financial crisis. of our senior correspondent explains what's going on in the world

economy. unless you majored in finance everything that's happening may seem a little overwhelming what is going on why are markets melting down while a bank is working around like headless chickens in a few minutes with this monopoly set i'll explain why everything seems to be crashing and burning what the hell is a fiscal stimulus and why is everyone crazy about rate cuts 1st that said the pieces here are investors meaning millionaires you're middle class with modest savings your pension is here all of them have some money saved up these days you don't keep your money under your mattress you want to return it right interest a big good pensions you take this money and you put it in the banks depending how smart they are how greedy they are they promise you x. amount of profit per month the banks then go ahead and loan out this money to

whoever needs it they drive our entire economy the new hotel built in your city the new jet purchased by british airways the new hips the bar bill down the road from you your mortgage to buy your house comes from the bank so all this money goes into the economy to keep things running and here is how it runs every month these people make payments to the bank here every month the same payment goes back to the bank the bank then pays the investors the investors then put the money back into the bank this is obviously simplifying things but you get the gist of it it's a cycle it all works great while it works but then something unforeseen happens like a mortgage crisis or a pandemic food employers clubs and pubs are to be closed along with theatres

museums do sports centers and similar establishments and retailers with specific. suctions. we're now is the time to take extra steps we're ordering the suspension of all retail activities with the exception of groceries pharmacies and other outlets selling fancy goods that suddenly mass shut down quarantine factories businesses come to a standstill people lose jobs stop paying mortgages suddenly people aren't paying the banks back and the investors the markets your pension manager they start panicking that is their money stuck potentially lost they see the news pandemic they call the bank they say they want their money out pull my money out of the markets out of the dow jones out of b.p. out of up all the markets crash but the banks don't have it here is where the government step in before this mass panic and

a run on the banks the government say the magic word play loud fiscal relief lots of words but it's the same thing the government pulls money out of thin air the money presses and gives it to the banks so that they can keep paying investors it's all pretend play they just simulating that everything's fine by printing ridiculous amounts of money and passing it back and forth between each other the real economy the factories in the businesses these guys are in quarantine and shut down but the entire point of this little show is temporary live this illusion has to work for a little while weeks months to allow the economy to recover to prevent the banks from going bankrupt and recalling all this debt to help these guys get back on their feet and start paying their debts back you don't need to be a new to the economist or an economist to realize how how fickle how fragile this

illusion is collapse of the markets is a clear. very profound statement the entire investment community which is not the small people who have a few shares i'm talking about the people who manage ancient ones who manage bank work for yours and so on have a massive loss of confidence in the government of the united states or in the private economy to get out of this disaster we're running on borrowed time they can't keep printing money for too long or inflation goes through the roof money becomes worthless the illusion will eventually wear off even the most optimistic investors can only live in denial for so long and will realize that banks are living in a dream world then it all collapses see the world up until now has been weighing lives vs the economy for all the criticism and ridicule of the world through

a child or they shut down everything sacrificed their own economy to keep the virus from spreading the west didn't the west ridiculed that dismiss china's response as incompetent they tried to keep the markets happy rather than the people safe and what they got america and europe is the worst of both worlds and economy on the brink of collapse and the death toll fast eclipsing that of china. was to another country being hard hit by the 1900 pandemic iran where it supremely doubt has questioned america's motives to offer any and said washington it couldn't be trusted. because your u.s. officials have said on a number of occasions that they would be willing to help regarding medical supplies for the coronavirus on you yourselves faced with a shortage judging by u.s. media there are massive shortages you americans are suspected of having created

this virus i do not know how real these accusations are but still they are circulating so who in their right mind would trust you to bring in medication your medicine could be a way to spread the virus more if you are not trustworthy very according to iran's health ministry one person in the country dies every 10 minutes from the virus with the death toll now over 1500 over 20000 infections and the iranian leaders latest address he also apparently made reference to this offer from donald trump to help last month if we can help the iranians we have the greatest health care professionals in the world and if we can help the iranians with this problem we are certainly willing to do so we would love to be able to help them and all they have to do is ask on saturday to run code on iranians living in the u.s. to attempt to send basic medical supplies to their relatives back home and the notify the u.s. state department if they succeed that's what the wrong saying that nothing is

getting through bank transactions or humanitarian aid the iranian foreign ministry says it's an attempt to refute washington's claims that date is not restricted by its sanctions regime we heard from middle east expert kharaj who told us trump's offers to help are hypocritical. increase of. it's it's not for me that it's it's there mindy can supply our firm message of color i can't are not under the u.s. sanctions but in fact you have nor company nor for any company sending since we run what is then reason is very simple because all these companies they know whether go ask permission to the united states if they can do this and if they can send this product at this point until you're out and the one that they don't want to be subject to. judiciary lied to i make it punishment so the best way to avoid these headaches as i may call it is just not to send any medicines to europe

and not to do any transactions with iran you cannot you cannot transfer any kind of money any way shape or form from iran to europe or to the united states are vice a versa so this is just the hope is that it's best. to you and you not that the iranians will do we see was it just for the enemy it has to be to be great and say that we are. used. the most gomez office has warned about misinformation spreading across the internet regarding the pandemic and the measures to contain it the man has refuted claims that the capital is metro would be closed or that the city will go into total lockdown and we're assured people about the supply of essential products in shops where you tell us to have tried to calm concerns by releasing video of their warehouses some chains say they have enough supplies to last at least 8 weeks and that includes the most popular items

that are being hoarded the russian industry and trade ministry is also assuring the public that grocery stores will remain open as if the market chains have reported an increase in demand for grain and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat a gold star of checked out the situation at one large moscow's supermarket. panic buying has become one of the key manifestations of the coronavirus scare all over the world so now we've come to one of most schools largest retail stores parts of europe the shan chain just to get an idea as to how badly this thing is affecting the russians in fact we're in the very same store that had previously introduced so-called apocalypse shopping carts pre-selected bundles of essential goods for about $45.00 per cart it was a one time auction but it turned out to be a clear success because those cards have been already swept and they're nowhere to be found but now let's have a look as to how world this particular end

a very large store is stocked itself. first stop is well good old soap and the situation here is quite interesting because all the cheaper ones they are gone like for instance here like 15 cents 30 cents buy the i'm not making up the prices these are actual prices on the soap here they're gone but the more expensive stuff over here in abundance in fact let me show you why. think you can literally if you are if you are in a panic situation if you are in a panic mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is the liquid soap 5 liters of liquid soap but we're going to be opting for something different something. so. particularly sensitive subject lately toilet paper while. any type of budget any

type of skin there's clearly enough for everyone and i feel like a plenty at home but for the sake of the experiment let's get some why not. well this is trouble all right because we're in the poultry section and the well it's been ransacked there are people all around filming on their phones as well together with us what's going on here but the store has put up a reassuring messages reassuring sign saying essentially that the products the products are on the way don't worry if you haven't found what you wanted here it will be here we will restock it in the nearest future together with the supplies we're doing everything to maintain the needed stockpile. cheaper me like chicken or turkey more expensive me like beef or pork

while it's gone just some of the most expensive stuff is here but here nothing. well judging by the amount of sweets next to me one thing can be said with certainty children are definitely not panicking and can be an example to us all. well this is of course just a symbolic cut it's not really serious but if i were to go all in and defy wanted to get everything that i needed for a nuclear winter scenario so to speak i would have had very very few problems with doing so and even with that said supply is have been talking a lot and posting photos and videos of their storage is really filled up to the brim with produce saying that there is literally no reason to panic that whatever oh whatever. shows that we've just seen well they will be filled up there will be

back fully stops so right now if lopes the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. thank you for choosing our t.v. or news update think of it we'd love to hear your thoughts on our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and if you know coming. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. financial survival guide i don't buy it i'm on. the
