in 8 days taken the confirmed cases to more than 900 is the highest in africa for me the miller has more than johnsbut so africans have welcomed this knock down they do understand that it's necessary but i imagine that it will take a couple of days for many people to abide by the restrictions because there is a lot to get used to there are police and soldiers on the streets police have said that they will risk people who don't abide by these restrictions possible 6 months jail time or perhaps a heavy fines so the coming days really will be a test for south africans with regard to just how while they abide by these descriptions the u.s. justice department is charged venezuelan president nicolas maduro and several of his officials in the drug trafficking are accused of running a so-called narco state. israel's opposition leader benny gantz a school with an emergency unity government after being elected speaker of the country's parliament the move could lead to an alliance with his rival prime minister binyamin netanyahu. so those were the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after people i

john bellos is with western asset management david, let me begin with you is bill miller right >> i think it is a buying opportunity. i don't think it's as good as the buying opportunity in 2008/2009, because i think we have a long way to go to wade our way out of the social distancing recession here. i think 2021 will really be the year of recovery i don't expect to see a significant economic recovery that year. but i think he is generally right, though, because we have seen stock prices come down very far. we've seen valuations come down. and we will see the earnings will be atrocious this year. but the idea is basically to keep the economy in sort of suspended animation. and that's where you've got fiscal stimulus all about. keep workers basically getting by, keep businesses basically from going bankrupt, until you get a vaccine. and once you get a vaccine, this will be very u-shaped. the economy will bounce back with a lot of energy in 2021, once we have a vaccine in place. >> remind me, david, we're now down about 30% or a little more off the highs of the dow what was the dow's hairc

miller. earlier we showed johns hopkins map right now across the globe. we have 5,800 deaths.een in the past? >> well this is nothing like what we had before with anthrax. you have to remember back in 2001, it came just in the wake of 9/11, so you had the terrorism that was aimed at us in new york and in washington and then we have an anthrax attack and anthrax unlike the coronavirus is not contagious, but it was still hugely disruptive for our society. we had five deaths, 17 people infected, we had 20,000 people on antibiotics. that's nothing compared to what's going to happened to because this virus is highly contagious, and as dr. oz has been telling you and dr. siegel has been warning you have to exercise the kind of caution that you really could have exercised back in 2001 with anthrax but i've got to say, what's mazing to me, if we keep having to learn these lessons again and again and again, after the anthrax attack, on public safety and on our bio labs sky rocketed but over time we've lost focus, we've lost interest, and bio safety and health has lost. jedediah: judith
