Could be 41 percent higher than the government is reporting. A dire warning from the u. N. The pandemic could double the number of people around the world who are going to go hungry. And im peter sim to go to sport you a fur and its Member Associations holding a teleconference on tuesday to try and work out a way to finish the football season. Donald trump has declared that he will suspend all immigration to the u. S. To protect american lives and jobs from coronavirus which he calls the invisible enemy the move announced on twitter is in line with what hes trying to achieve throughout his presidency mr trump won the white house in part on a promise to build a wall on the Us Mexico Border his administration has since cracked down on both legal and illegal entries under an executive order and 2017 the president did ban travel from several muslim majority countries but was later modified after legal challenges and since february and march traveled to the u. S. From china parts of europe and the u. K. Has been blocked because of the coronavirus lets go live to our White House Correspondent kimberly hellcat whos standing by for us there kimberly good afternoon good morning immigration can he do it. Yeah for now the u. S. President can do it and he has been exercising a number of powers which many have accused the president of exercising almost an authoritarian style leader using some of the National Emergency declarations we expect that the u. S. President will sign this executive order today and its already being defended by some of the Top Administration officials Like National security advisor Robert Obrien whos calling this a temporary issue as you pointed out the president has already curbed travel from china from canada from mexico from europe as so theyre arguing that these changes are not really substantial immigration policy changes because there ministration official noted that right now visa processing has been halted as a result of the coronavirus measures put in place visa interview says citizenship ceremonies have been postponed refugee programs have been poz and even we know migrants that are caught crossing the southern border of the United States are immediately being expelled so what we do know 2 about this executive order is it is expected to carve out some exceptions for Migrant Workers who work on farms and also for immigrants who wish to come as Health Care Workers to help with the Coronavirus Crisis here in the United States but i can tell you this is not sitting well with democratic critics of the u. S. President they call this an authoritarian type move and it sort of taking advantage of the crisis to advance an anti immigrant agenda joe biden the Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee has called this hysteria xenophobia but again the white house is defending this temporary shutdown of essentially the Legal Immigration system in the United States pointing out that up to 46000000. 00 americans lost their jobs overnight and the president s responsibility is to americans 1st. And i think im right in saying kimberly weve got a deal now on that big funding package that we were discussing this time yesterday yeah that package yet another rescue package to help ordinary americans at least that was the goal last time when the 350000000000 was passed to help Small Businesses keep americans on their payroll during this time of shutdown but the problem is what we found is not only did the money run out but we learned that a lot of the money went to not your sort of ordinary mom and pop type business but more of some of the larger chains shake shack for example getting a 10000000. 00 loan this is a very large hamburger chain here in the United States theyre now giving that money back and what were being told is the deal now will make sure that the money goes to Small Businesses genuine Small Businesses this time around were hearing the deal between the white house and congress in the neighborhood of 450000000000. 00 the process of voting on capitol hill essentially supposed to be a rubber stamp just working out some of the fine tuned details should be done in the next few days but in all of this we are expecting that the beginning of that voting could take place sometime around 20 g. M. T. We know there are also be money for hospitals in there some 75000000000. 00 that is something democrats were insisting on which was a bit of a Sticking Point with the white house and republicans on capitol hill it appears now according to the top democrat in the u. S. Senate Chuck Schumer that deal has been made and they are moving forward with voting it signing it into a law alternately by the u. S. President to what you later kimberly thank you so much lets bring in lee and fresco hes an immigration attorney and the former Deputy Assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u. S. Department of justice he joins us from washington d. C. As well leon fresco welcome to the news hour here on aljazeera whats new about this trump rhetoric. Well whats new is that its a formalization of what it been an ad hoc process of closing embassies and consulates around the world and so the 1st step is to the extent of this order actually provide that they certain and actually close all embassies and consulates around the world that will be a new barrier to allowing people danger the United States that also needs to be withdrawn before people enter the United States of thats new and then whats not clear and what will need to wait to see the order about is will there actually be people in the United States who are not allowed to remove or change their visa as part of this order while that probably would be illegal its on clear whether that will still be attempt to be included in this order is there another dynamic here as well and it might be people who are just in the process of moving the lives to the United States for ever or for say 5 to 10 years they just about to get on a plane if they can get on a plane for say 3 months thats ok most people can absorb that kind of hit but if its going to be in place and in play for a year or 2 perhaps that makes it a whole different discussion. Well absolutely if people are told that the United States is now closed for business that is going to be a dramatic change and it wont just be the kind of change that the president is in visioning which would be what he views as sort of a direct one for one replacement Foreign Worker with American Worker many people who come on these court but work visas are actually coming to open companies and to create Foreign Investment in the United States and so if youre not doing this with a scalpel instead of a hammer youre actually causing more damage rather than less if you try to read mr trump and where hes coming from you know tweeting in the middle of the night in the past couple of hours hes clearly awake inside the white house saying hes got a 90 percent plus Approval Rating on facebook hes on facebook again yes he has with his base but to other people is he perhaps signaling that hes aware that his other polling figures are going so theyre not going north i mean hes been getting a lot of pressure from different areas of his party to use this crisis in order to end immigration into the United States and i think that because hes been getting this pressure and he hasnt been able to deliver other or unquote policy successes as part of the coronavirus i think this was simply just the lowest hanging fruit that he could try to amounts that could drive the both change the subject and make his base happy and so the problem is that will only last for a very short that bury period in terms of their satisfaction and at the end of the day hes still going to be judged with regard to his response to the coronavirus that demick them fresco good to talk to thanks for coming on thank you. Well the oil markets in turmoil today as investors worry about full Storage Facilities and collapsing demand with the pandemic leaving factories shops and aircraft and vehicles sitting idle brant crude thats the International Benchmark has fallen more than 19 percent its above 20. 00 now but it had been dipping below and it hasnt been this low since 2001 after the u. S. Futures market dive deep into negative territory for the 1st time on monday the lowest it went was minus 37. 00 per barrel or economic status or a bit ali well have more about what that could mean and what might happen next and our correspondent osama bin should be to see it in doha to discuss the likely impact on the gulf will get you 2 gentlemen in a 2nd 1st the latest with and together. At the beginning of 2020 a barrel of u. S. Crude oil cost around 60. 00 then came the coronavirus pandemic forcing states toward a lockdown and emptying streets closing businesses and shuttering factories across the nation demand dried up and the price fell to 18. 00 on monday things took a catastrophic turn for the 1st time in history u. S. Oil went into negative territory a doomsday scenario for the entire industry President Trump called the drop interesting despite the crash hitting the stock market were filling up our National Petroleum reserves through dziedzic you know the strategic reserves. And were looking to put as much as 75000000. 00 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out that would be the 1st time in a long time its been tapped out would get it for the right price capacity though both on land and sea in the United States is filling up since march stockpiles in some locations have risen by 50 percent in some places the price of fuel is now at a 10 year low demand is down there. Certainty when states will reopen and all this comes as a severe blow to President Donald Trump hes going to Great Lengths to protect the oil sector working with both russia and opec to reduce production now the entire Global Industry is an unknown president in crisis the Historic Deal to slash production by millions of barrels a day involved saudi arabia russia and other Oil Producing nations but experts say another global effort is needed were probably down a 1000000 from our normal 10000000 barrels down to about 9 that probably needs to come down some more but all the other Oil Producing countries need to do the same until the the economy recovers the plunging prices are driven by trading deadlines oil is traded on its future price contracts are due to expire on tuesday why is it virtually nonexistent some traders are now paying to get rid of oil instead of buying it but president says the industry will bounce back they get caught and there are a lot of people that are not too happy because they got caught so you take a look at it youll see its more of a financial thing than an Oil Situation but because you take i believe in a month or so and go a little bit its a 25. 00 and 28. 00 or so its largely a financial squeeze. If there is a Silver Lining those on the front lines of the coronavirus will pay less to fuel because a recovery in demand for oil is now dependent on a crisis that in many parts of the u. S. Is far from over and we gallacher aljazeera Miami Florida ok lets bring in economics editor of it ali joining us here on the news out of london a good to have you here on the program as ever so subzero never a good look and everyones waiting for the fundamentals to shift but the fundamentals on going to shift so what can happen next. Youre absolutely right there the fundamentals arent going to shift until there is serious effort to reduce the amount of oil there is in the markets currently theres a lot of then the 5000000 barrels every single day thats equivalent of the United States saudi arabia and russia pumping out or at current rates all 3 nations cant bring production to a whole job at night and it isnt a good idea to do that because basically they will damage the wells that the oil that she comes out of so this will require a Real International effort to get everybody back onboard the 9700000 barrels that was suggested before all of the production cuts by the saudis which was agreed to with russia and the other nations is just not enough and the United States really does need to step up and make some or to some production cuts to its. Gas producers now in the past they said were going to allow the markets to do to take care of this and the markets are taking care of this and this is the result the result is that we saw yesterday that. Traders were having to hand over 40 1000. 00 d to buyers to say please take these barrels of oil off our hands right now weve got no way to store them and today the price is down by you know the 4000. 00 by another 4. 00 today so today traders are saying we still cant find any buys for oil and here its 4500. 00 please take the 1000. 00 barrels which each contract is worth off our 0 hands. Thanks very much an answer some a binge of aid reporting on the gulf region out of doha this hour so some is there a glimmer of hope here and it might be the way that brant crude is stored because the storage system for brant is the Delivery System its the super tankers and they need to keep those oil wells drilling because if they dont keep them drilling they suffer. Well if there is that demeanor of hope its hidden in the gloom that weve seen theres been a bearish sentiment across the markets in the g. C. C. View seen from the sound will too the musket Exchange Bahrain and kuwait and everything in between the saudi and the u. A. E. Exchange in dubai dropping by more than 2. 3 percent the value of saudi aramco and the Worlds Largest producing come old producing company is is down by 1. 3 percent so it is a major doom and gloom scenario all do as you said that this a bloodbath that we saw last night with the barrel dropping to around 40 minus 40. 00 a barrel was in the its not the brant crude the benchmark for the World Markets but again that under underlying principles are the same there everybody wants to sell oil there are no buy is everywhere over there would store oil is full of theres talk about 160000000. 00 barrels on these giant super tankers offshore and thats after all of the Storage Capacity was filled on shore so it is going to have an impact as every oil blip has on these economies because they are single commodity economies hydrocarbons is what makes up a bulk of these economies especially here in the Gulf Cooperation Council and the cartel known as opec so not just ramifications for these economies in itself a physical restructuring of the International Monetary fund last week before this crisis warned of a contraction in the middle East North Africa region of 3. 3 percent of the Oil Producing a player in the middle east africa region is expected to have a dent of 250000000000. 00 plus in this year alone and that is the money that would be required to pay salaries to build infrastructure after the crew and the writers and demick many of these countries have launched various projects to make sure that small. Business is do not go under so it is going to be extremely difficult for these economies to balance themselves not just the rich ones but also this small economy such as iraq the 2nd largest producer of oil in opec nations which is not just fighting the crew independent but also on the front lines making sure that threats like eisel do not resurface osama thanks very much. Turning our attention to europe because the coronavirus death toll in England Wales is 41 percent higher than government figures indicates thats according to the u. K. s office for National Statistics the o. M. s said it recorded just over 13000 for the 10th but the governments death toll for those who died in hospital up until that date was around 9000 paul brennan joins us live from outside the house of commons in Central London paul why the disparity between the n. H. S. Figures the u. K. Government figures and the o n s stats as well. Well 1st of all the government figures only include those people who have been tested in hospitals and been positive for corona virus whereas the office for National Statistics figures go from death certificates which have been issued where coronavirus has been mentioned the cause or a contributory factor in the death there is also a lag between the ins figures coming out and the actual deaths taking place so for example there are less figures relate to the week up to april the 10th whereas the daily figures which are issued by the u. K. Government for the previous 24 hours the reason thats given for the different methodology is because the government says well in hospitals we have those figures to hand straight away whereas for death certificates they have to be registered with the Registry Office and therefore it takes a little bit little bit of time but it has focused attention on the difference between the 2 and the growing difference between the 2 it was 14 percent last week care home and Community Deaths 14 percent higher than the official statistics now it seems its 41 percent in the community higher than the official statistics that the government is giving so there are concerns about exactly how the government can can can get a grip on the on the corona Virus Outbreak if it doesnt operate on really accurate up to date statistics because the government in westminster being criticized havent they because theyre not putting together the 2 sources of information and giving the country the world indeed a daily overall death toll. Yes i mean i said there are differences in methodology which make it difficult or certainly far from simple to merge the 2 types of statistics but when Parliament Comes back here today albeit in a limited part of virtual formats the opposition m. P. s the opposition parties are going to be really hammering the government both on this and on several other aspects weve had the easter break and they are only now just starting to reconvene back here at westminster and the discrepancies and also wider issues such as testing for example why testing is only happening in hospitals for example and why 100000. 00 a day test that the government promised would take place by the end of this month theyre nowhere close to achieving that it was 19 and a bit 1000 on sunday waiting to hear what yesterdays figures where theyre nowhere close to getting 100000 tests a day so yeah theres going to be a lot of really harsh and stern questions asked of the governments response so far which will happen in a few hours paul many thanks. Could 19 expected to cause many more people to go hungry around the world the United Nations says the earth break will push more than a quarter of a 1000000000 people to the brink of starvation unless they get help 55. 00 countries with a food crisis are highly vulnerable to the consequences of the virus in the pandemic in yemen and south sudan more than half of the population facing acute food shortages. Morgan whos in the sudanese capital for us this hour khartoum welcome back the report looks grim for south sudan with the humanitarian situation there is shaping up to be what do we think. Yes indeed peter 1st of all lets take a look at the humanitarian situation in south sudan prior to the entrance of covert 1000 to the scene there were over 5000000 people who are facing starvation many of them relying on food aid to survive 1700000 women and children acutely malnourished so with corinna virus in the picture access to the delivery of aid services is severely impaired there has been restrictions imposed by the nations and by the government to restrict movement so that the spread of the virus is contained and that in turn is having an impact on those who are realignment because because of movement of those delivering aid and because many of them in south sudan live in remote areas so we are left to see the numbers of those who are suffering from malnutrition and Food Insecurity rise in the coming months if if the number of if the aid that has been delivered is the creased what do we think that kind of impact will be felt but presumably that will go to donor countries whose i guess propped up sudan for some time now. Well yes indeed but then donor fatigue was already settling in way before coronavirus and way before the Transitional Government was formed 8 are going to stations have been reporting that their appeal for funding has not been fully met for the past 3 years people have been saying that they have been giving money to him and tearing agencies to south sudan but nothing was shaping up it continues to drain the humanitarian resources without an actual piece of materializing thats up until february but then when the new government was formed when the present government was formed thats around the time when coroner virus has become a Global Pandemic so peoples attentions are now focused elsewhere so it looks like even if that are going to ask for money and try to help them the chance that the chances that they would get the amount of money that theyre asking for would be much like it was over the past few years where most of the bills go under funded sometimes by less than house over thanks very much. Hundreds of yemeni soldiers in saudi arabia have laid down their weapons and theyre demanding to go home theyve been protesting for a 2nd day about not being paid for 6 months and not having a day off for more than 2 years the yemeni soldiers help protect the kingdom southern border from u.

Welcome back just waiting on the New York Stock Exchange opening until we get the opening bell and the figure that goes with it president on will trump says hell sign an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the u. S. Because of the pandemic he also on twitter said that he must protect american jobs. The koran of ours death toll in england and wales could be up to 41 percent higher than was previously being reported the u. K. s Statistics Office has released new data it includes deaths in old age homes havent been included in Government Data and International Benchmark for oil brant crude has fallen to just under 20. 00 a barrel its lowest in 18 years thats after the u. S. Oil prices crashed below 0 and into negative territory. European stock markets have opened lower after the u. S. Oil price crash the paneuropean stock 600. 00 fell about one percent of the start of trade londons footsie 100. 00 tumbled 1. 7 percent of frankfurt stacks and the c. I. S. And paris both shared 2 percent follows the worst day for about a month for asian stocks took years nikkei finished almost 2 percent Hong Kong Sydney and so dropping about one percent each losses 2 in shanghai and singapore there we are thats whats going on right now in wall street down 2 point one percent standing at 23151 that market has opened just in the past 2 minutes or so lets stay on wall street lets go to our correspondent Gabriel Elizondo so its not up and down gabe its done burned down. Yeah thats right and this is sort of what were expecting because the dow futures overnight were down about 500 points too so any hope that the market was going to rally at the opening bell were dispelled very quickly in the last 2 minutes or so when the markets opened we expect that this could be another ugly day on wall street as traders try to figure out what is going to be happening with the crude oil prices whats particularly troubling to some of the traders here is that the oil prices down the road next month also are looking bad as well so this isnt necessarily a potentially short term deal that were having here theyre looking down the road 2 weeks 3 weeks a month a month and a half down its not looking much better and thats why i think youre seeing this sharp sell off as the markets open here combine that to the uncertainty with oil prices right now combine that with the fact that we still have the coronavirus uncertainty and the u. S. Economy still shut down and unclear when that will reopen at all that up and thats why youre seeing a particularly bad day or at least a bad start to the markets here in new york so theyre going to carry on producing even though they come on store oil theyre going to carry on wanting to sell it to people who dont want to buy it and domestically produced oil in the states has dragged the International Price around the world and this is not like farmers making too much milk you cant just pull the stuff into the sea or into the ground. Thats right theres a storage issue as weve been reporting theres where do you put it you stored on huge tankers off the coast you stored underground Storage Facilities where you put all this oil and youre right its not like milk you dont just poured out in the down the drain when it goes bad youve got to put it somewhere and that becomes a big problem theres a glut of this on the market now as weve been reporting of course and of course in the us as well and Shale Oil Producers particularly in texas they rely on these oil prices are going to be. Devastated by this quite frankly and so theres a lot of factors going into whats going on right now but even if corona virus wasnt happening right now you would be seeing a disaster on the markets because of these oil prices but you add to that the fact that the u. S. Economy is shut down for all intensive purposes as well as many other countries around the world add all that up and thats why youre seeing all of this in really unprecedented territory its important to point out a lot of times traders here in new york will say they can kind of figure out whats going on so even if theres a spike in the market if theres a a temporary drop in the market they can explain it whats been going on the last several weeks more than a month now is unprecedented and add all these factors together and a lot of traders saying we cant really figure it out were guessing but theyre just trying to just trying to sort of walk in the dark as so many others are as well just truly unprecedented times on wall street ok gabriel is on the correspondent in new york good good to talk to stay close well talk to you soon. Will depend to make forcing australias 2nd biggest kariya into voluntary administration after the government refused to bail it out thousands of jobs at risk the airline in australia is pinning its hopes for survival on private investors nicholas cage reports from sydney. With billions of dollars in debt and most of its fleet grounded the announcement surprised few Virgin Australia handed over its books to Insolvency Firm deloitte as Board Members placed it in a ministration its the Largest Global airline to collapse so far under the shock of the corona Virus Outbreak this is not just something that is. Really we know its hurting the industry globally and its the worst ideation process saying that the company will continue to operate while its being restructured but it leaves nearly 16000. 00 people in a struggle we are uncertain about their jobs at a time when unemployment is rising due to covert 19 shutdowns and a global recession becoming a me is certain reality. Stars had already been stood down due to floods being cancelled for weeks the airline has been urging the government to loan it hundreds of millions of dollars to survive the cross but its refused saying it wants bail out a company thats 90 percent oil and by foreign shareholders with big pockets if the Airline Suspends Operations the National Carrier quantas would have a need monopoly in a stroller which many say would be ignored what do you think trust the straining. The street. And they really need to support station astray. Now its an administration. And also. Virgin australia remains optimistic it will survive and says theres been interest from Foreign InvestorsRichard Branson who cofounded virgin and owns 10 percent of the australian tweeted this is not the end of Virgin Australia but i believe a new beginning the question is whether it will be an attractive investment when borders remain closed and the industry is under pressure worldwide guy. Aljazeera. And his 100. 00 migrants have tested positive for coverage 19 in one of the Refugee Centers in greece theyre housed at a hotel in the southern peloponnese region the facility is run by the International Organization for migration john joins us live from athens john how are they being looked after. Well the government placed this hoto where these 470 Asylum Seekers it being kept under quarantine. Stay because on that day a woman who works at the Hotel Cooking and cleaning for these people tested positive on sunday one of the Asylum Seekers tested positive and that was an accidental discovery she is 6 months pregnant and had gone to hospital for a checkup so now everyone in that facility is being tested in the government is telling us at least 100. 00 of those 470. 00 people will be cool be positive what makes that different from previous cases because there have been 2 Asylum Seeker camps that have also had infections in the past is the quantity the number of people infected presumably because theyre living in close close was. We had a case of 28 positive tests but in a camp that holds about 2000 we had 4 positive tests in a 2nd camp that holds 1400 so to have roughly a quarter old mole of the population of this hotel infected means it is by far the biggest outbreak among refugee populations in greece so far the government is taking precautions as well because this is exactly the kind of outbreak theyre trying to prevent and i have to say on the whole theyve handled this fairly well for example in the supremely of the present camps on the highlands of east asia and they have put preemptive measures in place people working in the camps have been pared down to skeleton crews the Asylum Services have stopped working so that neither interview is no interviewees and inspect each other both camps are being ring fenced in order to prevent people coming and going from them freely as they have been until now and quarantine tents have been set up outside them so that if there are any to. People could immediately be separated from the rest of the Current Population into those terms while the tracing takes place of the people who become regularly into contacts with and then the tests can happen down that tracing part as quickly as possible so this is one case where the government perhaps was taken by surprise by the scale of the outbreak given that theyve been taking precautionary measures in refugee camps in general john thank you. Ok lets wrap up some of the top stories for you here on aljazeera the news executions appear to have dropped around the world for a 4th Consecutive Year however an Amnesty International report shows the increased in some countries it says thousands of people are believed to have been put to death in china last year the exact number is unknown because its not disclosed to the public in iran at least 251 people were executed in 2194. 00 of them were younger than 18 at the time of their crime amnesty says there were 184. 00 executions in saudi arabia a rise of more than 20 percent from the Previous Year executions also rose in iraq south sudan and yemen all want to pull up is an International Lawyer and a Legal Advisor on the Death Penalty for amnesty he joins us from london mr pull up welcome to the news hour why are some countries spiking and others the figures are going down. Thank you very much our time tonight in report on the global use of the Death Penalty indicates that new executions continue to decline globally we also saw a lack of transparency on the use of the Death Penalty in many retention is countries and there are positive signs too was global of british you know the Death Penalty despite traits by some retentions countries to undermine this all the decline over global executions known executions escalate in china decreased by our 5 percent from. 690 its accretions which were recorded in 28 in to 657 executions in 20 nights in these continues a year on year reduction since june of 15 and it reflects a 10 year lou its also important soon to emphasize that exit exits in countries remained the same at 20 and you know this decrease accords you know despite significant increases in 2 major exporting countries iraq. And saudi arabia. In saudi arabia for example its a 4 executions where carried out in 21000 this was an increase of 23 percent compared to 2018 when.
