a result of the outbreak this is let a major drop in oil prices the in the past month the price of brant crude. as for about 15 percent prompting members of the world's largest oil cartel opec to consider further production cuts now let's bring in ron paul barrett he's the head of market analysis at. europe and joins us now from london ranko explain to us the connection between the corona virus virus outbreak and the oil prices. well it's very simple as you said china is a huge part of the global economy about a 5th of global gross domestic product parity and it is of course the world's largest crude oil importer so if the chinese economy slows demand for crude oil is going to drop and that's just the 1st order effect which we're already seeing and reports of stockpiles rising in chinese refineries the 2nd order effects which could be much more serious as what crude oil markets are attempting to price now is a overall slowdown in global growth because of reduced demand from china and we think at this point it's very difficult to judge exactly how bad the shock to global growth will be be

well brant i'm sure you read the polls in the united states as well and i don't see anybody any longer having a whole lot of hope that president trump is going to be defeated i mean i'm not there i'm not an expert at what's happening and of course the process is just getting under way but people have gone from a couple of years ago thinking that the trump phenomenon was a one time thing and that perhaps 4 years of him and then we can get back to normal the kind of normal way of discussing things of teaming up together between the u.s. and europe to thinking that it's going to be 4 more years of a trump presidency and people are trying to trying to calculate what is going to be irreversible after 8 years of trump when it comes to climate when it comes to the iranian nuclear program those are some of the the biggest concerns right now i don't think there's a lot of hope in a more for europe that they were just waiting it out for 4 more years but of course we are just at the beginning of the u.s. electoral season so i'm sure a lot of europeans still will keep their fingers crossed for wha

not exactly brant but what it changed this is where i'm going to have to tell you that the picture on nato spending and trump's depiction of it is actually less positive than he said i don't think that's ever happened before in our many discussions on this topic and the fact is that nato allies are spending more and the truth is that part of that is due to u.s. pressure president trump has been insistent and absolutely. serbia in his criticism of low european defense spending but it's a long way from all allies paying their fair share which is 2 percent of g.d.p. in fact while trump says accurately that the number of allies doing so has more than doubled we're not talking about 29 allies or 28. in the u.s. we're talking about 9 allies paying 2 percent of their g.d.p. for their own military expenditures so yes the picture is better and the picture has been getting better since 2014 not 2016 when trump took when trump was elected but the trend line is moving up consistently so he should declare this a win nato has been hoping this for years now that he would he would accept that they're

predictable quite predictable brant that the senators will have to stay largely behind party lines here and it was also a historical moment really that because just consider that this impeachment trial and impeachment trial like this only happened 3 other times in the history of the united states and this time was different though there were no witnesses and no evidence allowed in that for the 1st time here so we're looking at a situation where we might even learn about details evidence and witnesses after this trial is ended after the acquittal of president trump the house of representatives is now looking into a subpoena a national former national security adviser john bolton. to testify which he was not allowed to do during the impeachment trial so this trial and this acquittal certainly ends with a certain taste to it the senators voted against hearing all these details they just wanted to get it over as soon as possible a verdict resolution but no closure trump is cleared on bugs impeachment charges what does this verdict what does it mean for him. well it will certainly celebrate

robin brant, bbc news, shanghai. our correspondent karishma vaswani is in singapore.arishma vaswani now. singapore has raised its public health alert to a higher level, what's prompted that? well, the reason behind this is because there have been three new cases of the coronavirus confirmed in singapore today that had no connection to china. this brings the number of people in this country that have been infected with the coronavirus to 33. out of them, four have no link that the authorities here can find and directly traced back to china. that is what has prompted the alert level to be raised from yellow to orange, and what that means is, according to authorities, that there is a severe disease that is currently being spread in singapore but that they believe they can contain it, and there is no widespread transmission across the country. that phrase is very important. so they have stepped up very important. so they have stepped up measures, so from very important. so they have stepped up measures, so from effective immediately, things like businesses are going to ha
