Italy has reported a big jump in the number of coronavirus cases has a lock down a quarter of its population comes into full force 133 new deaths have been confirmed and the number of infections has doubled since friday to nearly 7400 on the gay begins our coverage. A city deserted a region and a lockdown milan italy economic heart is almost unrecognizable hardly anyone in the shopping malls its famous squares as the army keeps watch over an almost surreal situation this is an unprecedented crisis in this countrys recent history where look as thats richard internet i mean what is happening in my city is worrying me and its also saddening because milan is a lively city and to see it like this today is almost a defeat for me i never would have thought this would happen. Milans my parents the airport has now suspended all flights its neighboring airport now restricted to running only domestic flights but that hasnt stopped people attempting to get away. Fearing further contagion leaders of italys southern regions have warned hundreds of thousands of its citizens who went to work or study in the north of the country not to return home but groups of people continue to arrive from milan arriving with their masks on but there was no one to test them for covert 19 the harsh restrictions are designed to slow down the spread of the disease but there are fears that it may be too little too late hospitals in the affected region have been inundated and sick residents are now being asked to stay at home a stretched Health Care System is struggling to keep up with the increasing numbers there are no more valuable bats in hospitals and actually the current hospital which serves about 500000 people in all the area of course in these little thought own doctors got infected so there are nor more intensive care but its available away from italy there were further increases of the virus all over the continent in france at least 900 people have died from the virus with more than 1100 cases recorded in the country last italys lockdown is the most stringent outside of china containment may have come too late for some areas slowing down the viruses spread may be the best option for now on a diagonal aljazeera as the cases come in europe china is reporting a 4 just 40 new conformations continue a steady drop over the past few days katrina you as in beijing. The 40 new cases in 22 deaths thats the lowest some of the lowest numbers weve seen since this outbreak really started to pick up steam at the end of january in china more than 80000 people have been infected but Health Authorities say that most of those people have been cured and there are only about 20000 people now who are being treated for the current virus in hospital still 5000 people or so are in Critical Condition but its definitely a positive picture and were starting to see real concrete evidence of the change in this positive improvement in the epicenter of who bay province itself now there was at one point thousands of people being diagnosed every day about 2000 people on some days and of course because of that huge demand on the Hospital System in will hand they had to create all these makeshift hospitals of 14 makeshift hospitals were created including one called the living room which accommodated 1700 patients now 11 of those have now suspended operations or have been closed because there are not enough patience so obviously thats a good sign weve also heard today that there was a leak to document from ruhani airport and vising stuff to be ready to go back to work on march 10th now we have to remember there was a complete lockdown in the city of will hon nobody could get in and out that means no trains and no flights so this is a sign that theyre not necessarily going to start flights on march 10th but who one airport is starting to think about getting up and running again which is a very big sign. Global oil prices a plummeted amid a price war and a drop in demand from the impacts of coronavirus prises a down by around 30 percent the biggest fall in almost 30 years thats up to saudi arabia signaled an increase in output after a meeting of the Oil Producing block of it the price dispute began after russia refused to join the groups efforts to cut Oil Production in a bid to stabilize markets just called in is the author of petro aggression when Oil Causes War he says the drop in oil prices will have a huge impact on the global economy.

Its going to have huge economic and political consequences and unfortunately this comes because of a breakdown in negotiations between opec and russia when saudi arabia representing opec asked russia to not only maintain the cuts that theyve made previously but also even deep in them in response to the the we can demand from coronavirus russia said no were not interested and that set off the price war with both of them bidding to expand their own market share this is going to be mixed news and so the d upside of it as consumers will see cheaper gasoline prices that might be attractive but on the downside theres going to have theres going to be big consequences for the stock market and for the overall economy and so thats going to play it differently in Different Countries but in the United States for instance this could exacerbate. A decline in the stock market that we already saw last week and the week before that and so this seems to be the kind of move that russian leaders might have actually decided was in their interests that Lower Oil Prices is not good for russias economy but if it causes even more paying to the u. S. Economy it might be something that theyd be interested in.
