8:19 am
no longer know what we're walking into we don't know. we don't know if we can make it. i think what. we are working understanding now we're possibly getting more exposure to the already and we're burnt out we are becoming every day are not getting support from our managers ours you know our government is telling us we can wear a simple bandana we don't. even make sense we can we can do this if we want to do this because this is. our life we care we want to be people but we can't do that if we're dying because the amount exposure and the lack of proper protective equipment so something's gotta give it looks like it's. the covert full saw a record 6600000 americans made jobless claims last week as another massive wave of
8:20 am
unemployment leaves i was sold struggling to pay the bills financial show boom bust has been assessing them just how the american economy can bounce back after this. here in the united states we're now looking at 10000000 people who have filed for unemployment in just the past 2 weeks 10000000 people who say i have gone from having a job to having 0 hours or no work at all in the last just 2 weeks it's an absolutely incredible number and we're talking about an unemployment rate that could climb as high some analysts are saying as what we saw in the great depression obviously these numbers are a little bit different this is not an economic crisis right now it's a pandemic meaning that in theory as soon as everything kind of reopens people would be able to get those jobs back and get back to work assuming that all businesses get back to work you know what i mean by that i think the economy is going to struggle on a moving forward basis what we've done is we've inflated what we all call that everything bubble and that's a direct result of the fed in their intervention going back to the late eighty's it
8:21 am
doesn't start with how that's for sure the u.s. economy is built on 3 things asset bubbles debt in confidence and then you can see high unemployment now with the government doing their 2 trillion in stimulus going to be chasing most likely fewer goods and services because of the supply chain disruptions that we see andy globalization and so you're going to most likely see consumer prices this that you buy at the grocery store every day is going to go up in price or assets come down and again that stagflation or type of environment here in russia there are currently of a 4000 registered cases 34 people have died as the number of cases spiked yesterday president putin extended the country's coronavirus lockdown until the end of april i got more another live from a correspondent he goes down off them. well it was the 2nd time that lattimer putin addressed the nation in relation to the coronavirus and this time his address was
8:22 am
rather brief and sounded and looked like more like an update on to as to what's being done and what to expect and well perhaps the most important part here is that well russians will be staying home till the end of the month it's a lease to go to school again according to the peak of the global epidemic has not yet passed including in our country because of this i've decided to extend the non-working regime until the end of the month that is through to april 30th i would like to emphasize that employees will continue to receive their salaries. to an extent the address was also even therapeutic in its nature to show russians that they are not being abandoned by the government and to give them an idea as to what the government is doing to prevent as many deaths as possible glad i'm appalled and also focused on what regions should be doing what measures regions should be taking to prevent of the corona virus spreading across russia and essentially is said that
8:23 am
while regional authorities will be given greater powers to be able to handle this pandemic more autonomy will be of them glow according to my decree governors will be given additional powers until the end of this week they will have to determine a specific set of preventative measures which are optimized for their territories both in terms of ensuring health people security and the sustainability of the economy and key infrastructure in the regions themselves based on the situations we will decide which regime is introduced. to the key outtake from this is that local governments should be acting proportionately to the medical situation in each particular region for instance moscow with the place with most diagnosed called 1000 cases here in russia has been sort of leading the charge in such quarantine measures for example people here are not allowed to go out unless it's to visit a local supermarket or to briefly and quickly walk the dog vladimir putin also gave
8:24 am
