Well oiled is an industry that supported millions of jobs in the United States and now the pandemic has caused a global collapse in demand and the industry had already been suffering because of a price war between saudi arabia and russia now major Oil Producing nations and the allies about holding an emergency meeting to try and end the crisis lets talk it through now with our economics editor bid and i mean what are the prospects here for reaching some kind of understanding do you think well nick talks are now under way and strangely 2 sides who couldnt agree who was responsible for the breakdown of talks in march those who for important production cuts which are which the saudis wanted was about 1500000 barrels a day now theyre discussing the possibility of 20000000 barrels a day so that going over and beyond what President Trump has been asking it it just beggars belief as to where these these cuts are actually going to come so the saudis are saying now look listen you know were ready to make cuts of for me italy it imperils a day whereas the russians are saying you know well what dropping another 1600000. 00 they really are dependent on the United States to step up now the United States is the worlds biggest producer of oil and gas and so this is now left up to the United States to come forward an offer of a number now president ial press already said listen were going to leave this to the markets and we think that the markets will mean that you know well have a drop of production in the United States or 2000000. 00 barrels a day and that is going to be because many of the shale but uses will basically go to the wolf because they are in debt if they have too much debt on their books and they cant cope with prices below 40. 00 a barrel so is it likely that this figure of 20000000. 00 Barrels Per Day will be reached. You know Stranger Things have happened nick now most many many deals end up being the fire chief and then when you come into the fine print and you realize that people are not getting the production questions oh well underneath the production questions that russians are well known for at least its the saudis who have been carrying opec well the last few few years every single time theres production cuts its the saudis who have to bear the brunt of the cost the russians for their part only came to the table and cut production when theyve come to contaminated or oil through their pipelines through through to the through to europe and that was the only time that they decided that you know now was the time to turn off the taps and clean up that particular mess so it really has to be seen what will happen that weve got some are is meeting as well with the g. 20 thats when the u. K. Norway and also canada will also come to the meeting and it will be interesting to see what they offer in production cuts and whether that will help them to reach that 20000000 barrel a day but target now youve got countries like nigeria then not rich nations they really need production cuts but they cant afford to give away the duction that they really need the revenue from and specially at this time when they fight fighting the pandemic back up so sons like lots of pieces of the jigsaw need to come together to reach 20000000 Barrels Per Day i mean thanks for putting some picture that appreciate that thank you now yemens rebels have told odds are they will not stop fighting while the country is under siege the Spokesman Says there have been continued land attacks and asteroids and thats despite an announcement from the saudi u.

Says the new measures could result more true detentions torture and disappearances is calling on egypts government to comply with International Rules iraqs intelligence chief of staff has been asked to form a government thats after the Prime Minister designate to none else if he withdrew his candidacy over mounting pressure from the opposition that he me is the 3rd person to be named to the post in just over 2 months so when a fulton reports now from baghdad. On thursday at 9 as a few became the 2nd Prime Minister designate to withdraw his bid in just 6 weeks from running iraqs leadership crisis yes we will have the political agreement is important iraq is living through a catastrophe and there should be a political consensus that we can convince the political powers to reach an agreement and we found it difficult for this government to pass in the parliament. For now the consensus seems to have converged around another man within an hour of sort of his resignation president barham saleh surrounded by leaders of Major Political parties appointed most of the me iraqs intelligence chief as the next Prime Minister designate. The previous terms were accompanied by a lot of acute struggles and disagreements and between us and the political blocs today the political blocs national and social patriotic sectors have chosen. To me for this position. Government has 30 days to form a new government and although he seems to have secured widespread support at the moment that could quickly change many iraqis question whether he is the one who can put an end to months of Political Uncertainty the crisis began when caretaker Prime MinisterAbdullah Abdullah mattie resigned last december after widespread antigovernment protests constitutional deadlines to find a replacement were repeatedly missed because a fierce political infighting last month president saleh took matters into his own hands appointing a man i was a free as the new Prime Minister designate the move drew stern warnings from iranian linked armed groups who regarded sort of feel as being backed by the us their political wings in parliament accuse the president of overstepping his authority and put forth their own candidate mostafa the me that. There was no way because he didnt come from the political blocs we have a parliamentary system the majority of the political blocs should agree to nominate him. As negotiations to form the new government continue iraq appears rather less as it tries to steer its way through a deepening Political Economic and Health Crisis iraqis are angry at the Political Class for not acting class enough as if they keep going with their conflicts we want this we want that there will never be a government because all these parties. They want to fill the post with one of their own and theres a growing feeling that caretaker Prime Minister either of the mahdi may weather this political storm on our top that makes they want to appoint a new Prime Minister they will prolong this crisis and keep. In power because he pleases everyone. In march of the they said he had no longer act as caretaker but has never done less continued to chair government meetings the protests that forced his resignation have all but gone away as the country battles the coronavirus pandemic and with that the prospects for systemic political change are growing increasingly thin simona fulton aljazeera but that.

Well the coronavirus poses a major threat to vulnerable populations right around the world but humanitarian agencies say restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of the disease are also making it increasingly difficult to to deliver aid to those who need it most. As this report. In syria the closure of schools because of the coronavirus pandemic is affecting far more than how children learn. Its also making it much harder for them to. We estimate that around 368000000 children around the world are at this moment not receiving school meals because their schools are closed. The u. N. World food program and other humanitarian groups are doing what they can to continue distributing food for the syrian children and their families in many cases these are the poorest families that really depend on the fact that their children are going to school but getting much needed supplies to vulnerable populations is posing a challenge travel restrictions and border closures are making it much harder to deliver aid while workers on the ground in refugee camps like cooma in northern kenya are introducing new physical distancing measures to protect people against the spread of covert 19 and. In coxs bazaar bangladesh where around 1000000 Rohingya Refugees live physical distancing is nearly impossible humanitarian agencies however say they are trying their best in the delivery of the humanitarian assistance itself and we have to be very very careful and ensuring that we dont become part of the problem but at the same time that we are responding to peoples needs and hopefully preventing as much impact as possible in places like the camps in bangladesh where they are the most Vulnerable People in the world. Its not just the threat from cope at 19 causing concerns humanitarian operations that are already happening before the covert 1000 need to continue there are people who desperately need that assistance and those operations are there for a very good reason because people depend on it. At a time of growing uncertainty for aid workers one thing is clear the obstacles they face in delivering help are already great they will likely become greater damage as yet or.
