Can. Carry that in shock as the death toll from a shooting massacre rises to 8. And lets take you straight now to the white house donald trump is answering questions in the Coronavirus Briefing i think that sent up of thousands and thousands of hospitals and you know we built just in new york alone 4 hospitals and. 2900 beds and got them done so quickly nobody nobody said anything like it fortunately we havent had to use too many of them and thats ok thats probably better news than having to use them all right because a lot of good things are happening in new york and elsewhere so through the Public Private partnerships and deregulation the federal government has already made immense testing capabilities available but some states need to take action to fully utilize it. To date the United States has conducted millions more tests than any other country you can add them all up and they dont catch us and our numbers are doubling almost on a certainly in a monthly basis but almost on a weekly basis were moving very rapidly for a number of nobody thought possible and well be doubling the number of daily tests of the governors bring their states fully online through the capability that they have we have tremendous capability out there already existing and we explain that to the governor today baikonur all of the people explained it very strongly to the governors 8 they really get it now i think as the experts have explained this capacity is sufficient to allow states to conduct diagnostic testing to treat patients as well as Contact Tracing to contain outbreaks and monitoring to pinpoint potential hotspots during phase one and there are some hotspots and we have them pinpointed and they can really covered very very nicely when they know exactly where to go and theyre being told where to go and also these locations where theyre going and some of them a federal some of the governors didnt realize they were allowed to use federal locations they are and we have a booklet of the federal locations we can hold it up i think youll show that they will hold it up now yeah ok fine but you see. The number think. These are all locations where they can go. Which is really Pretty Amazing this is just one page out of many. Look into this this is. These are all locations. Its a lot of location. And they can all what is it 5000. So thats a thank you very much thats more than anybody thought but and its already there i have to use it so they have to he is somewhere in aware or somewhere very much aware someone of where my administration also continues to support states with their mess of operation to deliver mask gloves and other vital supplies said will. Polish erik and his team at fifa are really that what a job theyve done and pete what a job hes done there calling on Easter Sunday to make sure everyones ok but theyre using detailed data about supply chains to track the deployment of 1000000000 pieces of protective equipment through private distributors every 2 weeks so what were doing is were delivering a number that nobody anywhere in the world is delivering theme is working closely with dr burks and the distributors to prayer to supply of resources where they are most needed where finding the location that they have to. They have to get to that location we have locations that are very important to get to and get to him fast and thats where theyre going so we have a very strong priority this pandemic has reaffirmed the importance of keeping vital supply chains at home we cannot outsource our independence we cannot be reliant on foreign nations ive been saying this for a long time if weve learned one thing its lets do it here lets build it here lets make it here weve got the greatest country in the world we got up start bringing our supply chains back somebody years ago got this crazy idea lets build all over the place and lets have parts lets have a school for a cart delivered and made in a country thats far away and lets have a fender made someplace else and lets do this and lets do that and lets put it all together and i like making it right here in the usa and i think weve learned a lot about that in the specially maybe when it comes to pharmaceutical products. Weve also conducted Major Military operations providing cities and states with additional medical capacity and the incredible 800 men and women from the army corps of engineers you just met with. The job theyve done is incredible but we have nurses doctors we have experts in every field all over spoke with Governor Cuomo spoke with mayor de blasio spoke with many of the other governors that. Both friendly and the i think im friendly with just about all of them if you can believe it but ive gotten friendly with a lot of them i begin to a lot of respect for a lot of the governors both republican and democrat during this process some really good people some really good talent but were sending a lot of our medical people not only our construction people like todd 78 but a lot of our medical people are being sent all over the country to different locations new york city york state and new jersey i spoke with phil todays doing a terrific job in new jersey but new jersey got hit very very hard filmography governor from the day this crisis began america launched a scientific mobilization of colossal size and scale someday theyll be able to write the true story because nobody seen anything like it. The fake doos just refuses to cover it correctly but thats ok but the people are understanding and thats what matters to me. There are now 72. 00 active trials underway across the United States researching dozens of therapies and treatments and another 211. 00 are in the planning stages them getting i mean they literally mobilizing on therapeutics and also d on vaccines a tremendous progress is being made on vaccines and i must say on therapeutics i mean frankly if i had my choice give me the therapeutics right now because that would help people right now and we have some things that i think a work in not only work in but we have some incredible things that look like they could be. An answer but well know soon being tested working out right down this includes their therapies designed to attack the virus as well as others that would hinder its replication reduce the rate of Infection Control the immune response or transfer lifesaving antibodies from the blood of recovered patients and one of the incredible things that weve seen and mike and i were talking about it before is the fact oftentimes somebody gets very ill from the plague ok from this horrible scorch and they get better and they recover the 1st thing they say is i want to give my blood thats happened the doctors have told me its happened so much i want to get my blood i want to give my blood. And theyre doing that but tremendous things are happening youll be seeing about youll be seeing that over the weeks i think well be talking about it in the not too distant future johnson and johnsons very well along on vaccines again the vaccines have to be tested at their puter sir for now but a lot of good things are happening on both put all timidly we also hope to prevent infection through a safe very safe exene and that will be a great thing we have that and we will have that so with that id like to introduce add wont walk and brad smith to discuss some of the. Incredible things that have been done and we have they really are what they have been able to do it a very very short period of time with and equipment you know to see equipment that you havent seen before. And if youd just come up red if you guys would come up you could give us a little display of some of the equipment that we have been some of the things that are happening having to do with testing because testing is a big word remember it was all ventilators and the reason was all ventilators they said theres no way hell ever be able to catch this one and not only do we catch it we are now the king of ventilators all over the world we can send them in we have thousands being made a week and theyre very high quality. And thats was him playing well so then they said testing testing would get him one test they would test it is much easier than ventilator ventilators a big machines that are very complex that are very expensive you need real real you need a group of people that really know what theyre doing which is going to lines we took a lot of different people and now weve done that but it used to be ventilators ventilators ventilators now its testing testing testing and i think the role and i think that bred will show you some things that you havent seen that are really very spectacular having to do with testing were way advanced way advanced the list i showed you these are places you can go if youre in the states by of 1000 different machines 5000 there are all over the country. We have international also and that was the cause of viruses briefing the president from speaking there about testing and ventilators earlier on he had been speaking about what has been the biggest story of what they really in the u. S. That is the negative oil prices there lets cross to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett the News Conference is still going on kimberly we are expecting the president to think questions in a while who will be dipping back into that but he did actually start the news briefing by addressing the issue of oil prices what did he say. Yeah he touched on that very briefly all he said really was that he found the drop in oil prices which of course is historic in terms of the low he called it interesting i think people would have other adjectives to describe it other than interesting he then went on to essentially issue his prescription for the ailment that he believes is occurring right now and that is that he says the United States will fill its National Petroleum reserves they will essentially top it out so what theyre going to do is buy 75000000. 00 barrels he said theyll be getting it at a good price and thats an understatement given the fact that we know in some cases that it is below 0 in terms of the cost in negative territory at least up in canada so hes certainly going to be getting at a good price the u. S. Will now have this reserve that it will be topped out which he said is something that is a bit unusual and that is essentially how he plans to deal with this the question becomes how the markets will respond to that and whether they think it will be enough because of course the u. S. President had been more than a week ago touting this deal that he had struck with saudi arabia russia to try and offset the production or over production in the excess supply in the market that in production was set to take place next month so it wasnt enough to alleviate the markets and so this is get another prescription by this president but again whether or not this is going to be satisfactory to nervous investors is something that were going to have to continue to follow and of course the plummeting of oil prices in the u. S. A byproduct of the lock down because of the corona virus so focusing then on the virus itself and its spread and the finest trying to contain it for things you think the president might be questioned on when when reporters get a chance to ask him a few things. Well what ive noticed so far and as ive noticed her a couple of days this is now is that the u. S. President is trying to correct the record if you will and so what we hear as a repeated theme is that everyone said we didnt have a ventilator so we made ventilators and now you say we dont have enough tests so now were making tests but the problem is is that there arent enough tests in the United States right now and the Administration Says look at were doing this in real time it makes excuses that it has inherited a system that was antiquated to deal with a pandemic but at the same time the numbers are simply not where they need to be the Administration Says look at weve got enough tests for phase one but the fact of the matter is that theyve got about 5000000 tests in the works they hope to have 20000000. 00 by the end of the month but this is a population of 330. 00 plus 1000000 people if you want to get every person back to work that means youre going to need frequent testing for millions tens of millions of americans as simply the numbers dont add up still the white house is pointing the finger at the governor saying look you need to increase your capacity be aware of your capacity the president the briefing just now showing a map showing lists of where the they say that the governors have been under utilized in their ability to test but at the same time what we expect the focus of this upcoming question and answer period will be the fact that the numbers are still not meeting in terms of what the governors are asking for and what the white house has provided so this is certainly a point of criticism the u. S. President pushing back because this as it is with the economy his handling of the Coronavirus Crisis is certainly something thats going to be in the back of the minds for voters when they go to the polls in november and the president is acutely aware of that and trying to counteract those criticisms as we see in this briefing taking place right now can we help him with the latest. From the white house where that briefing is taking place can really thank you. Kate just some detail now on that oil news that we were talking about and that is that for the 1st time benchmark u. S. Oil prices of crashed into negative territory meaning that traders are now paying buyers to take it away in a massive one day drop west texas intermediate fell from about 17 and a half dollars a barrel to minus 37. 00 it was trading at about 60. 00 a barrel at the start of the year Global Demand has plummeted because of coronavirus related lock downs and travel restrictions leading to fears over a lack of Storage Space thats this fight continuous attempts to counter the chaos in the Global Energy markets earlier this month russia and saudi arabia agreed to an unprecedented cut in output of almost 10000000 barrels a day to try to boost virus hit markets. So what impact is this likely to have in the gulf lets bring in al jazeera some a binge of vide whos in. A lot of countries really its hard to overestimate the impact that oil prices have across the economy across the country so which countries do you think will be the worst state. But especially the g. C. C. Youre going to see and Immediate Impact in the countries do not have the kind of cushion which but those have in terms of foreign sovereign wealth funds and deep pockets that they can delve into once their coffers and due money coming in from the oil market starts to dry up but there is you have to you can separate this almost into 2 sections that really impact on the economy of these countries is bent as an impact on the political economy can which is attached 2 or 3 have seen in the last few months that saudi arabia is again trying to flex its muscles its trying to dominate in the oil oil markets but it has also had its relationship strained over that it comes to the United States or the russians when it comes to the actual economy saudi arabia every fluctuation in the oil price means that sound going to give goes further away from its goal of vision 2030 when it wants to diversify its economy from the beach and Oil Based Economy to a much more diverse and vibrant set of Economic Indicators and provide more employment and not just are going to be you have to look at other one producers in the g. C. C. Including bahrain and oman who do not have that kind of deep pockets and they will be facing an impact almost immediately if there is a fluctuation again we have to bear in mind that this is a w. T. R. Price crash the the brant crude is sit still hovering over 20. 00 a barrel and july future and june futures still looking good so this was the day in creating for all of these traders who actually have run out of. Storage space globally so that is going to have a knock on impact but it is were also hearing reports that the saudis are already considering to bring up their product production cuts cuts that they had promised just a few weeks ago that they argue. To continue and were oversupplied the market so it is going to be a very difficult position not just politically but economically and for some to really be a for iraq providing for on line to come out of this because they are a single commodity entity and they have to piece salaries and in some cases these salaries are not just for electrical workers and lord works at these are salaries for essential workers who are on the front lines in fighting against groups like isis and iraq is already struggling in that week of the crew on a very spending because weve heard warnings from global organizations such as the i. M. F. See that unless crusted measures are taken theres going to be a real knock on the economies in the middle east somewhere along the region of 16000000000. 00. Some avenger vied with the latest on those developments in the region from thank you. Anish kapoor idea is that director of energy at Police Advisors an independent Research Provider in the oil and gas industry he says the oil market is in unchartered territory clearly unprecedented times at the moment in terms of the wider Global Market for the oil market as well. I think were in a situation that we never seen the core in in there especially at the moment were having massive impacts to Global Demand growth probably around 30 odd 1000000 barrels a day of demand being an impact of globally about 3rd of global supply. And that combined with current lee no opec cuts being emplaced actually the opec deal that broke down this is the aftermath of that the taps being opened main ones that youve just got a huge amount of supply coming onto the markets at a time when demand is completely down in the dumps. So thats thats the fundamentals then theres a further impacts that the the theres a nuance that the w. T. I contract is expiring today so the people that own those contracts are scrambling to. Get rid of that crude now because theyre worried that when its produced it may be no way to store that crude that we know its a tight year because storage is piling up some shops every opened in germany as europes largest economy slowly restarts public life after a 4 week shutdown to stop the spread of coronavirus all the Small Businesses have been given the all clear to open their doors as part of a deal between federal and State Government dominic cain has more from berlin for many weeks germany has been in lockdown the possibility of inadvertent infection too high to allow most every day life to go on but now in some states many shops are open once more as here in cologne on monday the 1st step by the government to test how safe it is for Economic Life to resume. Fit us sharia of course it is difficult but if we know ease restrictions then we dont know exactly what the repercussions will be and thats why we have to take it slowly under step at a time it would be tragic if we knowingly relapsed and if we knowingly endangered these 1st successive. And perhaps because of that fear not everywhere in germany has reopened for business some states want more stringent protective measures in place before Opening Stores so far at least federally the government is only encouraging recommending people to wear these masks in public but certainly some parts of this country that is changing in the eastern state of saxony masks are now mandatory for people in public and the conservative heartland of the varia is about to follow suit and im asking for as of next week will introduce a noise mask obligation this will be in place for all public transport for all shops including those that have been opened all this time we are the 1st station with germany to do this and then theres the dilemma of how to reopen schools safely most will remain closed until early may but some have now gone back to allow teenagers to sit important end of year exams and who lives in the ghettos. Of course im somewhat worried the more students there are in the building the more complicated it gets to stick to the framework conditions ultimately were talking about youths here who might not always been a position to evaluate the dangers 100 percent which sounds very much like the dilemma ministers are facing right now easing restrictions should help the economy but it could cause a 2nd wave of infections dominant came out zira berlin.
