5:11 am
at the condom it continues to spread across russia the president vladimir putin has held a meeting with scientists and leading officials to discuss the situation with mohammed don't quota on monday's meeting couldn't spoke with a number of government officials in the country's top or ology experts to mainly discuss and to coronavirus measures within the country but one topic that did stand out was that international quality aeration specifically with the united states actually it as opposed to we are actively cooperating with our foreign partners and it's not a one way street the day after our plane with medical equipment landed in new york it was signed a deal with the united states on buying ventilator components this cooperation will continue to them and now will trump was obviously a goal and willing to return the favor of a russian a that came actually earlier in april it's likely many in washington aren't as
5:12 am
enthusiastic about the move let's not forget those who tried to turn russia's aid to the u.s. in support of their own political game after trump welcomed it with open arms russia said to us a very very large plane load of things medical equipment which was very nice. a propaganda bonanza as our own government trink from america's leadership role in a global crisis this is nuts hopefully someone will tell trump that he's playing right into a propaganda ploy but it seems like these voices aren't really being taken that seriously cooperation between washington and moscow is still going forward as planned and this is at a crucial time for russia when vladimir putin says that the worst of the coronavirus endemic has yet to rear its ugly head in the country. unfortunately though the pandemic continues to spread the number of citizens who have contracted the virus is growing cases of covert 19 even if only single ones have been
5:13 am
registered in all 85 russian regions the infection rate has not reached its peak yet so at a time of global pandemic a global crisis hopefully politicians on all sides will be able to put people 1st before all the ticks and i have started crashing us the oil prices plunged below 0 dollars per barrel on monday demand for oil has collapsed as lockdowns across the world have ground economies to a halt phase over a lack of storage for the excess oil softens renting tankers driving prices deeper into negative territory which in a low as minus $37.00 us all prices have since clawed back slightly above 0 but the market downturn has already pushed a number of american oil fracking companies to file for bankruptcy or the village volatility of the oil price threatens to damage the country's anti economy. crazy. yes i mean it's going to go up because it can't stay like that it's an interesting
5:14 am
situation that's never occurred before but it's just based on futures anyway so they think in another couple months they're building up to normal prices again but it's not really if you look at the pump price that really reflecting a shift it should seem like a dollar or 2 out of it it's not only your corona it's those rules. control that you don't have the you know the brains to handle the fighting that everyone else told you anything dropping below a certain price in the surf was very basic price. earlier this month the world's leading oil producers agreed to an unprecedented deal to cut roughly 10 percent of global production the number of countries participating in the deal was also higher than had been expected to be in hopes the move would stabilize the markets and count to the full in demand let's find out more now because live to economist and financial expert alexandra thank you for joining us on the program it's good to see and you just give us an idea of just how damaging is the new all time low price to
5:15 am
the u.s. oil industry. well i mean for sure it's damaging because a teacher nobody expected the the market to go earth so far and the storage capacity to be reached the then the quickies the earth the on the other side the us this is the month where these should have been actually because there is a huge a supply of the on the market and demand has collapsed and the op there care plus agreement or has not yet entered the into force saw there for 8 it would have been expected to have this situation the only earth and sort of you was do do a lot of the many chewed of for of these collapse in the shortest or the
5:16 am
future of maturity which is the main maturity saw there are many people there are strained to get 3 of p.c. call up. invent a reason but it's impossible to get rid of them because there are no barriers and there are no storage capacity anymore in the u.s. and therefore you see these quakes ranger cinnamon and that if you look at the next earth futures are due to june and july futures this is the situation there is more stable and the market is expecting these oversupply will gradually be clear that over the next few months. who are there maybe other spikes perhaps in other parts of the world as well when you are paying and this is big the west the be all industry crisis is going to say or do you think as long as they can . yeah i mean the fallujah u.s. i think this is probably the worse because you know at some point to the the the
5:17 am
all the oil production for seeds he's a. has to closer and therefore earth there will be a nursery bell and scene of the markets so you see he's usually better is and he would take time for these events or is to be clear there but i think we are seeing the worst for the u.s. but in other parts of the werther maybe we would see a prices collapse as well over the next few weeks. and if you look at the brant bice's for example for now they are standing but there may be the case that in one month or 2 we close or maximum or storage capacity in europe are already asia and then you will see prices going up as well for a short time commenting on the crash don tran place has been saying it's a good time to stockpile oil is that
5:18 am
a view that you sad. well yeah i mean it's it's a good tone to start all over but it has the 'd costs to build the storage capacities of its very. closely and for example all of the u.s. so there's a certain. storage of the city but. they cannot go beyond that 700. 1000000 barrows and they want to go beyond that they need that the president needs the congress with the recession for that so it's a whole process that is very complicated to implement and therefore i think the e.u. really wants more. countries. for example or the. career that commuter to do to a few that there are reserves that you know in these countries have also somebody
5:19 am
needs on the deficit of their storage. economist and financial experts alexandra caught up thank you for your time and your image. coming up after the break over 100 medical workers have reportedly died from corona virus and they do you can take as a country experience this shortage it has no protective equipment with that story in full in just a few minutes after the fact. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words.
5:20 am
5:21 am
welcome back now with the media launch be focused on the global pandemic conflicts in the middle east are receiving less the attention yet bury it rage on putting millions of vulnerable people further at risk of the story. future generations will judge us harsh we weren't ready governments failed refused to act until it was too late people panicked wooding toilet paper and cam foods entire economy appear to be bucking the question isn't if the recession is coming. the question is how bad it will be we are a tool to help war to be sure we need a marshall plan for europe's recovery is now hitting millions of working americans who are living paycheck to paycheck a temporary hospital built almost overnight in central park.
5:22 am
we have never seen anything like this before many of us can attribute the initial failure to shock the fear to incompetence others see it as something else entirely divine we'll is this virus and its impact what we read about in revelation with the so-called 4th horsemen of the apocalypse that brings up pestilence upon the earth at the close of the age not it bureaucrats have anything to do with it the same people who resisted lockdowns are now speaking about lifting quarantines getting businesses back to work before the pandemic has even run its schools this is a test for civilizations with precision steak so just like china western countries are trying to show that they can reverse the damage unfortunately pestilence has a companion the bible calls a war and if only there was
5:23 am
a way to reverse that to. if there is a hell on earth it is there where war rages in syria 9 years of killing and suffering and it hasn't stopped those who survived bullets shells and famine will now have to contend with the infection made worse by america's suspension of funding for the w.h.o. cuts in funding to the world health organization could have a devastating effect in syria as it plays a crucial role preventing and responding to cover $1000.00 across the country this is especially true in bringing in test kits and other vital medical supplies which can be very challenging to import into syria due to international sanctions. and
5:24 am
they've got to stop the taliban isis government and make the rule the same as before not even a pandemic and dull their aid for each other the spiralling coby $1000.00 crisis puts millions of afghans at risk yet afghan officials are consumed with infighting in the taliban with adversarial posturing libya a civil war shows new signs of slowing the u.s. analysts suggest that the pandemic may help end the fighting immediately leaving out who it was that set the country on fire in yemen there was some hope that things could turn out differently but they did she's filed with the gulag the war rages and in parts of africa american air strikes emphasize that the war on terror is still on and to the multitudes trapped in refugee camps all over the region
5:25 am
without regular access to water never mind soup the only defense against the coronavirus is prayer as we speak preaches all over the world a soothing their flocks telling them this isn't armageddon from the bible and it isn't come to think of it there is no need for the fools one of the apocalypse here people who showed them that we are perfectly capable of doing their job for them. i $100.00 health and care workers have died of corona virus in the u.k. according to nursing website nursing notes but the government has confirmed only $27.00 deaths it comes amid a growing concerns about shortages of personal protective equipment for frontline workers among those that lost their lives that is mary argue why argue upon the pregnant nurse died after contracting the virus the hospital says that her daughter was delivered by says area inspection and is doing well but it's not clear whether

5:27 am
the shortages the n.h.s. has changed its guidelines advising medics to reuse gowns and wear aprons the n.h.s. confederation along with the doctors' unions say that they would support medics who refuse to work without adequate protection we discussed this with dr anna hemming and n.h.s. commentator roy lilly. i think it's a very personal thing each doctor or nurse is an individual and they have feelings about a how they do their job and we all have a and want to help and care for people sesame at the moment but also you have to protect your workforce and there are people that are going to work that have maybe children already tis with asthma that they're living with and their concerns how could you lose tons of equipment from turkey i mean anybody who buys anything or amazon and knows that you can trace track where your order is something they call
5:28 am
