plenty more to come from ian hartnett.et's check in with the global markets and see where we are in the session. let's go to kailey leinz. kailey: i have good news and bad news. the good news is we are well off the lows of the session. the bad news is we are still down between 6.5% and 7% on the major averages in the u.s.. more pain for the small gaps -- the small caps. a little less with the stoxx 600 outbound down to just 4%. this is an equity market that is fearful of the spreading coronavirus and spooked by the 100 basis point cut from the fed. will it be effective? what does the fed know the market does not know? this is well off the lows of the session. we triggered our circuit breaker immediately after opening this morning with a loss of 8% on the s&p 500. that then went to 11.5% before we recovered. this is not the only day we have seen that kind of crazy volatile session. we triggered the circuit breaker in three of the past six sessions. also getting one on monday and thursday of last week. it underscores the hei

ian: that's true. posted a video on my twitter account yesterday that showed a video, about 12 minutes of nanchang, the city in china, and it was just showing all of the different aspects of society and what they were doing to respond to coronavirus. the incredible coordination of steps from individual workplaces and every single worker to taxi drivers, infrastructure to technology, you name it. is annot just that china authoritarian system. it is also the incredible confidence and availability of urban infrastructure that they had none of when they were punting -- when they were responding to sars, for example. you see how the united states or europe just could not respond in this way. combine that with the fact that china is 17% of the global economy right now, and probably set to be a little more than that in 2020 one given what is happening around the world. combine that with the fact that the chinese are able to not just produce and provide so much of the medical supplies that will be critical to

ian cull is live at the santa clara safeway. ian, what are you seeing there? empty shelves?rter: oh, a lot of empty shelves. more than we've been seeing. you know, friday grocers say it really ramped up and it's gotten a little bit worse every day, especially here tonight. this one is actually restricting its hours. they're only going to be open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. so that they can actually restock some of those shelves. and it's coming as a surprise to some shoppers being turned away at the door. they're going to be restocking staples like bread, milk, frozen food. other safeways have reduced their hours as well. many walmarts are doing the same thing. if you like trader joe's, they are typically open at 9:00 to 9:00, but they're only going to be open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. not only just to give their employees a little bit of a break but so they can restock those shelves. janelle. >> they've been very busy. so how often do they restock their shelves? a couple times a week or every day? >> reporter: it's a good question. we've been asking that. we get differen

ian, let me start with you. to talk, and the one thing that was different then than exists now is that there was a coordinated global response. everybody understood the situation and central banks worked with each other, governments worked with each other. this has a bit more of an every man for himself feel to it. >> that's right. i mean, certainly, the central banks are all rowing in the same direction right now, even though it's not coordinated. they're technocratic and oriented towards the same sort of solutions. but outside of that, there's no coordination, we haven't had a g-20 meeting since this all started. of course, the 2008 financial crisis is what actually got the g-20 started. there's a lot of blamesmanship happening right now between the united states and china. that's particularly concerning. the biggest change, of course, is the fact that coming out of 2008, the united states was the clear and uncontested leader, economically, financially, and politically. and even though the chinese are responsi

it comes from china. >> ian, what are we doing here? >> well, president trump hasn't referred to this as the chinese flu until about two days ago. it links up with his policies in response to coronavirus imploding and the markets imploding in the united states, and it made it harder for him to blame obama, blame biden. he needs someone to blame. and china's the proximate country. and the problem with that of course is -- i mean, yes, it did indeed come from china originally, and furthermore the chinese did indeed cover it up for the first month. so they are responsible. but on top of this massive market meltdown and economic shutdown we're seeing in the united states right now, picking a fight with the chinese, who feel vastly more confident today coming out of this crisis, than they did after 2008 is going to cause more economic damage. and while it's politically expedient for trump to do so in an electoral cycle, the likelihood that we end up in an economic fight with the chinese where we pull out of the phase 1 trade deal, they're no

we begin with nbc bay area's ian cull at stanford. ian, what are the students telling you?reporter: yeah. well, students say they've been concerned about this for a while, first with the cases seen in santa clara and then hearing about this one on campus. moments ago we were confirming that that faculty member has tested positive for the coronavirus in the email saying that stanford says that the person was not at work since they started experiencing symptoms. the clinic they worked at has also been closed down, will go through a thorough cleaning, and will reopen monday, they believe. the university also notifying people who may have been exposed and announcing tonight they'll cancel on campus classes to prevent the virus of the spread. the final two weeks of the quarter will move to online formats if possible. final exams for the winter quarter will be in take-home format. the university will remain open, but employees who can work from home are asked to do so. i also spoke with some students who have been part of a petition to get the university to respond to coronavirus

thank you very much indeed, ian goldin.... thank you very much for being on hardtalk. thank you. hello there. well, the weather's been quite unsettled really, often quite windy with a number of showers around. we certainly have plenty of these on thursday and this was one of those shower clouds spotted in the skies around the wolverhampton area. the satellite picture shows showers swirling around an area of low pressure that is moving out to the north sea at the moment but that's not the last of the lows. we have another couple of swirls of cloud, another coming in late on friday and another one working in just in time for the weekend. if you're out and about for the next few hours, across northern areas, there will be further showers and at times, those will be falling as snow over the hills of scotland. elsewhere, it's going to stay quite windy. temperatures of the most part keeping above freezing but with a nip of frost in scotland, perhaps northern england, where we could see if few icy stretches where we see those show

ian, what else do they want the store to do for them? >> reporter: jessica, one of those things is just proper sanitation equipment at each site. as we've seen, grocery stores are really one of the only places that people still go to to get those essentials and workers say they're worried jo grocery stores areoing distancing while shopping. at the whole foods market near the sap center, only 55 customers are allowed inside at a time. but nationally employees say they want more protection at work. >> they are, you know, coming into contact with the public and all kinds of people. >> reporter: the whole workers national organizing committee says in an online petition they want paid leave for workers who self-quarantine instead of coming to work, health care coverage for part-time employees, and guaranteed hazard pay, which would equal double time. they also want social distancing between workers and customers and lots of shoppers agree. >> they're taking a big risk. we get to work from home. they can't do that, and they are, you know, inte

ian blackford: i thank the prime minister for that answer, and i commit my party and our government in scotland to work constructively together. of course, people are worried about their health, but there are millions of workers who are worried about the consequences for their incomes, their job securities and their families, so i do ask that the prime minister give specific guarantees. certainly, we will work together in the snp in pushing for emergency legislation. will he give the clarification that all workers will be fully protected from the first day of sickness, that those payments should be up to the level of the real living wage and that there will be emergency legislation to guarantee that staff who are asked to self-isolate, and their businesses, are fully supported? that is the leadership that is required. i ask if the prime minister will commit himself to working constructively with us all to that end. hear.r, p.m. johnson: again, i thank the right honorable gentleman for the spirit in which he asks the question. he will have seen from my earlier answer that what we are in

ian: you are right, but you didn't finish it.irst praising the chinese, than blaming them, and then most recently backing away from blaming them and saying, well, you know, they didn't want this, it is hurting them more than it is hurting us, there is no buying american agriculture, maybe there will be delays. trump absolutely in the last couple of press conferences around china was more cautious than a week ago. so you're right to raise the point. we need to be honest about exactly what is going on. there are others inside the trump administration, including secretary of state pompeo, certainly peter navarro and the white house, that are more willing to hit the chinese hard right now. i do not see at all that trump wants to make that decision yet. his approval ratings are going up. know, hese so far, you is in the mode of i have dr. fauci and mike pence leading this. my ratings are good, everyone is watching my show every night, and let's see where we are in a couple weeks. if it turns out that this becomes a much bigger disaste

what we know, ian. >> reporter: you know, this is a measure that was heavily supported by mayor sam liccardo here in san jose. many conservatives opposed it. the mayor contending it would only affect 2% of the highest end properties here in san jose. as he was greeting supporters earlier tonight when we caught up with him after those early returns came in showing that the yes side was ahead, so here's what measure e will do. it's about that property transfer tax, and the property sold for more than $2 million would be taxed more to ease the housing crunch by funding affordable housing, homeless programs. but if you sell a $2 million home, you'd pay an extra 0.75%. that equals out to an extra $15,000. as the ballots are still being counted, the mayor is optimistic. >> we got to find one way or another to get something over the goal line that's going to enable us to have the resources we need to house our homeless because we simply can't continue as a community with more than 6,000 of our neighbors out on the streets. >> reporter: if it ends up passing, that percentage that the seller

ian did not speak to that, but i wanted to know that. because she works for adult probation, and it look like adult probation may have two votes. she's a very hard advocate. she doesn't care who she works for, but we don't want a conflict of interest. while we opening it up, we might as well clean it up. so that is the reason for that. so if you have any other questions? >> supervisor stefani: i just have one quick one. in terms of the conflict of interest, can you just expand on that a little bit more? like, what would be the conflict of interest if someone was taking their experience being formerly incarcerated and now working for the city in any capacity? i understand that it's adult probation, but i just don't understand where the conflict is? like, where is the division that would arise? >> so you can work for the city, just not one of the departments that sits on the council, so if one is a member who came -- if she got a job at the library, it wouldn't be a conflict. but when they vote, our vote, especially when -- in april, when

nbc bay area's ian cull is in our coronavirus crisis center. and ian, that's a big legal no-no. >> that's right, jessica. especially now as california is in a statewide emergency. that allows the attorney general to go after those sneaky sellers and for people who have been desperately trying to find those cleaning supplies they hope there's some relief. as the coronavirus spreads, shelves across the world and even in the san jose target are clean out of hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes. shoppers are going online instead to find third-party suppliers trying to profit off fears on walmart and amazon, jacking up prices. someone tried to sell a bottle of purell for $152. >> i think that's ridiculous, how they have to increase that. i mean, that's a necessity for us to be safe and to protect ourselves. >> reporter: tammy luong has checked a few stores and can't find anything, but she's not going to pay those high prices. >> it's been difficult because even at work they're really being -- with the clorox wipes too. >> reporter: but today the g

>> yeah, so, look, i agree with ian on all of these issues around kind of the public health response. i don't see us doing what needed to be in china. we'll not lock people into homes. but what italy is having to go through is what we have to avoid and that's only going to happen if we get aggressive today. and so i, as much as it pains me to say this, i think it's great that we're shutting down all public events. that we're canceling major sporting events. not great, of course, because it's terrible from a psychological and social point of view, but the bottom line is that's what we need to do. and the question is, how did we get here? we got here because we've had a total bungling of the federal response. lack of testing means we don't even know how many americans have the infection. technically it's 1600. my own best guess is it's 5,000, 10,000, maybe more. until we get our arms wrapped around this, that's one issue. we've got to do the social distancing stuff. people have to spend more time at home and away from crowds. and then the big thing we have to work on is get our hospital
