S. President donald trump said hed further reduce americas outputs of compensates well the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and international lockdowns have had a major impact on the Global Economy and mean the world has far less need for oil with normal life grinding to a halt the u. S. Energy Information Administration says its the least gasoline american drivers have used in at least 3 decades norway based Energy Research center rice studied energy for across the change in oil demands from april last year to april this year could be as much as 20 7000000. 00 barrels a day the price of bringing crude oil has fallen from 67. 00 a barrel in december when the virus was discovered to 21 dollars this month and earlier i spoke to Alec Schindler who is the president of Energy Intelligence an oil and gas Research Company he told me it was in u.

Saudi arabia russia and you know states are going to come together to forge and agreements to cut 10000000. 00 barrels a day and potentially even more from the market i think most people would not really believe that so its been a harrowing 4 days there were a lot of twists and turns as you pointed out with mexico being the one holdout that threatened to sort of scuttle the whole deal but in the end cooler heads prevailed the the country side to come together and actually deliver you know what is the largest cut in opec sistering you know for years even before he was the president was very critical of opec has always been you know quite down on the cartel theyre calling it a cartel.

New yorks mayor is criticizing the trumpet ministration for a lack of testing kits bill de blasio has announced plans for new testing sites but says its going to tensions on supplies from the federal government the u. S. Has passed in the wood more than 21000 thats about half of them are in the new york metropolitan area. We pleaded for weeks and weeks for the federal government provide testing up front in the kind of quantity that could have helped us contain this crisis and change the whole course of that we never got that help we continue to plead for more testing still has not come any in anywhere near the numbers that we need but we will not stop were continuing the conversations with the white house with fema demanding the testing we are the epicenter of this crisis we must have the testing to help us move towards that next phase where we get out of widespread transmission across virus and move to a low level transmission on to Something Better meanwhile new yorks governor says the states Hospital System is no longer a threat of hitting capacity but warns the fire is likely to spread in suburban communities next were now stabilized on the imminent threat to the capacity of the Health Care System so we have a little breathing room in terms of capacity in equipment and wherever we see a pop up we jump on that immediately i think you will see more growth in less populated places the virus 1st hits in the most dense locations john hendren is joining us from cic agoa so more criticism leveled at the president from the new yorks mayor and governor john. Thats right during for a long time the mayor of new york and the governor of new york state have been playing a kind of Good Cop Bad Cop game with donald trump with mayor bill de blasio offering upfront criticism of the president theyve got a long history of untag and tagging isnt between them and the Governor Andrew Cuomo mostly playing nice with the president but recently releasing some critical things he recently said the president says this is a war well then start acting like its a war hes also one of many governors who want more money for their states he wants he signed on to a measure that would give states another 500000000000 dollars he says the money thats been spent so far has been missed allocated by the federal government that states like new york which have had the lions share of the problem have not really been getting that proportion of funds just to give you an idea they were going about 20000 deaths in the u. S. So far a 3rd of those 7000 occur in new york state alone there been 530 cases of coronavirus in the u. S. 103000 of those are in new york state alone so youve got these guys offering criticism that the federal government isnt doing enough and then President Trump just a few minutes ago tweeted back clearly in response to some of these criticisms saying governors get your states Testing Programs an apparatus perfected be ready big things are happening no excuses the federal government is there to help its his way of saying the onus is on use so that criticism is going back and forth between the president and some of these local governors and mayors particularly in new york which is where a lot of that problem is but youre starting to see a little bit of optimism this is Easter Sunday the original date when President Trump wanted businesses to get back up and moving but you can see here in chicago and at every major city in the u. S. That is not yet happening but you heard Governor Cuomo there talk about the numbers starting to level off there got. Be pretty scary here in illinois has said that youre starting to see a leveling off a plateau weighing of some of those numbers so there is hope but the earliest businesses are likely to open now is may 1st thats what the president clearly wants but there are a lot of experts who have doubts about that yeah and speaking of experts were now hearing that a doctor himself has acknowledged that earlier accent on the virus could have actually saved american lives but there was some resistance what does he mean by that thats right anthony director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases has been a really prominent character throughout this process we see him in the Daily White House briefings he was asked on one of the sunday talk shows here this morning. If the u. S. Had acted earlier and more aggressively would we have saved lives would there have been fewer people who got sick and he essentially said i cannot deny that but he went on to say that there was a lot of resistance to shutting things down back then meaning in february didnt happen until mid march and some of that pushback came from the president of the United States who by all accounts resisted those earlier pushes at one point calling the coronavirus a hoax and now he wants to get those businesses back up and operating and its people like anthony family who are kind of putting the brakes on some of that talk found she says he hopes there will be a sense of normalcy here in the United States by november all right john hendren thank you.
