saying that you you're not allowed to go are all new york thinking what to do i was sad to go out and amar my neighbors were all so in front of the building policemen were also onside * and 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 moments coronavirus latest on that that is now claimed 814000 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 ality tony more than 5 and a half 1000 people on sunday alone more than 600 succumbed to the disease italy's 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 coverage 19.

but 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 to support of the various bubel we agreed to enforce external borders both a close and a coordinated temporary wish to action of essential travel to the e.u. . or so to do list 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 in ski reports from a nationwide quarantine. france is now we all looked down

to break the lock down that would be in poor says the government has talked about deploying $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 one was incredibly clear when he gave the presidential address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through and that is the problem is that. we are at war war to be sure we are not fighting another army new another nation but the enemies that are invisible and elusive. that decision came to the french took the calls to stay at home and self isolate too likely in fact wild boars in 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 senate 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 close to. the restriction these are really centered around self isolation so people have been told that they can leave their homes for 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 look at this in pakistan to just state why maybe even some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool planting that law or is cool with

going out for a walk just socialise with their friends rather than for health reasons could face a fine of up to 135 years. old the message is clear stay at home these are containment measures similar to that spain and italy all persons travelling must be able to justify their movements each person will have to carry a document certifying the reason he. was another casualty of the new stricter regime is the 2nd row in the room is a collection which will no be postponed but many had already criticize the government for allowing the 1st run to take place while sproles was under a partial lockdown. the mackarness 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 and 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 measure of the prime minister i hope that the government will take responsibility and change its mind as the long term began and many played the city possibly going to nominate her to stay friends family anything to be isolated in this time will permit it 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 extended but they need people here from just have no idea and their minds are going to return to normal scholer people ski for aunty 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 prashar star general being at the incoming patients advise and then regular assessment actually are putting in place all the 3 sets of measures including some some distance and store 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 any more info on the. actually i have had several meetings and discussions help us or it is also the

subject most scared and what is going on is that you know me as well that have no reason we are told that the agent has not been conclusive all 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 don't ever want to welcome how they're going to zation is drained out also having a package of measures and recommendations and guidelines and instruments for good people for good albums for our house services child 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 specific programs whether they are using 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 marco has to have volunteers who are bonding to fix the hawk line that is long lines and it's not only people who have arrived from companies are calling all the common people who have not traveled anywhere words are 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 we just weren't told it. no it is very difficult to say and the so are people on the stand that isolation and stopping are contacts ok so the action is conducted by sort of we can

break the chain of the transmission we actually won't like this but we need to what china did it and they did it really well let us see we are learning as we are going step by step really an intensive work on the i object seen tasking all outward of all there are several important vaccine producers including in russia dr that 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 me to be able to bring somebody new in a 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 amounts layoffs a bipartisan deal hasn't been reached yet but is reportedly getting close told congress leaders will get together for their final discussions 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 appear will say well we won and we're going to say that sure as 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 and suggestion made by the democrats which have remained a sticking point between them and the republicans markets reacted. the civilly to the news on tuesday with shares jumping slightly mostly though those markets spent the week struggling with friday's closure marking the worst week since the 2008 financial crisis more and garcia 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 the bankers whirling 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 set the pieces so here are investors meaning millionaires you're middle class with maga 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 pretty good pension so 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 virus clubs and pubs are to be closed along with theatres museums do

sports centers and similar establishments and retailers with specific. sanctions. 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 bailout 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 the 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 1000 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 that 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 could 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 forbidden it's a medical supply are pharmaceutical i comes are not under the u.s. sanctions but in fact you have law company not foreign companies 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 if they do . this program. and the one that they don't want to be subject to. a punishment so the best way to avoid these headaches as i may call it is just not to

. any medicine and not to the transactions with you kill what you cannot transfer any kind of money in the way shape or form. to your or. our vice a versa so this is just. he offered to you are you not that you were in his will do we see was it just for the americans to be to be great and say that we offered to you. the moscow mare's 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 of metro would be closed or that the city will go into total lockdown and we're short 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 was that the market chains have reported an increase in demand for grain and hygiene products especially popular among russians is buckwheat it or starve checked out the situation at one large at 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 action 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 well this particular and

a very large store is stocked itself. first stop is well good old soap and the situation here is quite interesting because all 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 one thing you can literally if you're a if you're in a panic situation if you are in a panic mood you can literally buy soaps in canisters like this is 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 is 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 mead like before you pour

while it's gone just some of the most expensive stuff is here but. 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 whatever. shows that we've just seen well they will be filled up there will be back

fully stops so right now it's lopes the appetite for panic buying here at least among muscovites is not that strong. thank you for choosing our t.v. news update and if you get 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. it's all a little bit messed up by our d.n.a. and something way over the to read i'm not sure this is such a great thing you know i'm sure you look better now than when you had hair. well

it's nice of you to say so but i do i went though when i was 25 years wasn't so great. other than. the time of the follow up like.

a low end welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle as the democrats gear up to officially start their 2020 presidential primary it is fitting to assess donald trump's performance in office a report card of sorts where is he kept his promises and where has he come up short will any of this really matter in november. cross talking the trump report card i'm joined by my guest soraya foss in austin she is a u.s. libertarian presidential candidate in new york we cross the line and he is a legal and media analyst also in new york we have in williams he is a journalist and author as well as a senior analyst at foreign policy in focus all right crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate lionel let me go to you 1st here in a nutshell give donald trump his report card because the primary season is upon us

here i must say his opponents are not something that i would be too worried about but an incumbent president always does run in this case his record so judge that record given a grade. a plus plus plus and also if i could curve if i could weigh in the fact that he has been absolutely or they have attempted to stop him to do you rail him to indict him do impeach him to to do interrupt everything he has done from the moment he announced in view of all of that and the aforementioned he is in my lifetime the greatest president i have seen he will win in their ways down the victory landslide of the popular vote and the electoral vote ok i see quite a bit of disbelief with our co panel if there is let me go to i know you and i can see your face.
