Russia had avoided the exponential growth seen in other countries in the last week of march it had 1000 total cases is italy in the u. S. So past 100000 president putin sent troops to help in italy now they needed at home. I think russia should be proud because when europe and the whole world was struck by the code 19 pandemic you came to lend us a helping hand and not surprisingly russia has had similar problems and this is admirable its all hands to the front line is russias battle against coronavirus has well and truly arrived shallop ballasts. The esses are moving patriot antimissile systems and other weapons from saudi arabia thats happening as it scales back an arms buildup that began when tensions with iran flared last year Saudi Oil Installations are among facilities being affected the u. S. Sent weapons and fighter jets after saudi aramco plants were attacked last september as in them u. S. Military personnel will also be reassigned. When asked about the report president onil trump wouldnt be drawn on specifics. Well i dont want to talk about it but were doing some things will make it a lot of moves in the middle east and elsewhere were doing a lot of things all over the world militarily weve been taken advantage of all over the world our military and. In the sense that we are and this is nothing to do with saudi arabia this has to do with other countries frankly much more we have the most powerful military in the world heres a quick look at the recent news by the white house in the middle east trump reportedly warned that if saudi arabia didnt cut oil supplies he would be able to stop the u. S. Congress from withdrawing troops from the kingdom that followed the plunge in oil prices and riyadhs price war with russia before that trump told ron it would pay heavily if it attacked u. S. Troops stationed in iraq and march the United States announced it was withdrawing hundreds of soldiers from 4 bases there a sauce rough as an assistant professor in her city of Nottingham Center for conflicts security and terrorism he joins us via skype from london thank you very much for joining us so am president said he didnt want to talk about it but we have to talk about this what do you think this move is actually all about and the timing of it. Well i think its about some of the things that youve already mentioned and that is that the missiles were put in place following the attacks on on the saudi arabia and also refineries and because of the oil price one of the things thats happened is that anybody who wants to time whether its us who it is or its iranians and all refinery theyre going to waste their time because its not going to hurt and have the effect that he would have heard many months ago i think also the point that saudi arabia has been in a price war with russia and that has impacted american produces techs and all produces very hard go into prices going into negative territory in a not precedented case in in the iraq and so there is a pressure on the regime or the administration in washington to stop importing saudi and other oil and concentrate on domestically produced oil and i think finally that is the the armys under stress with the missiles that they need to deploy and they have deployed additional missiles early this year to iraq to protect their bases after the the iranians fired several missiles at one of their bases and that i think is what we can reasonably say but i think the state to President Trump does give away things that he didnt design as other parts of the world and i would guess that there are contingency plans being made in the far east possibly to do with a possible succession or period where in north korea if that term becomes a threat in the future so when it may be. Let me let me jump in for just a 2nd and just for a quick 2nd so why how would you characterize the president of United States. Wielding that the power of the u. S. Military for to tie it to oil prices. When it seems like to be a player a way. Well i think. For a long time for decades now lot of the politics of the middle east or associated with economics whether its directly to oil or in directly through 1000 are the factors so its not a new thing and i think the thing about President Trump law are unlike other president s he doesnt invest a lot of time and effort in in glossing over things and providing an alternative narrative so i think that it is it is something thats not in new it is something that has happened come about in a very spectacular way because of several things coinciding in the last few months the Oil Price War which coincided with the coronavirus may meaning that the oil prices plunged even bigger greater than the saudis that intended by reducing oil prices and then the other thing we mustnt forget is that the corona virus has hit the u. S. Very hard economically and so what the president cant afford to do is cut back on the military but what he can do is cut back on the tree spending and having squadrons of aircraft Fighter Aircraft and thats part of this withdrawal as well as the patriot system based in saudis costing additional money anything if some of that mall amount of additional money can be saved it does ease the financial burden on the u. S. Which is only going to grow over the next few months with unemployment and various other issues to do with the coronavirus so a lot of the economic factors have shaped these military decision which in the past has already been shaped to a lesser degree by economic factors but i thank you so much for joining us from london we appreciate it very much pleasure. Top u. S. And chinese negotiators have agreed to go ahead with the 1st phase of a trade deal signed in january tensions between the superpowers have been running high over the handling of the pandemic earlier this week President Trump said hed end the agreement if china did stick to its terms but the u. S. Trade representative says discussions have gone well and both sides are working to trying to ensure that it actually works this Justice Department to drop the case against President Trumps 1st National Security adviser or general Michael Flynn was fired in the early days of the Trump Administration after admitting he lied to the f. B. I. About contacts with russia alan fischer reports from washington. During the trump president ial campaign general Michael Flynn often led the chance of look at up are aimed at the republicans opponent Hillary Clinton yes thats right rocker i was but he faced a very real prospect that would happen to him after he pled guilty of lying to the f. B. I. In recent weeks his new legal team insisted documents had been uncovered which suggested misconduct by f. B. I. Investigators no the Justice Department wants all charges dropped i didnt know that was happening at this moment i felt it was going to happen just by watching and seeing like everybody else does he was an innocent man he is a great gentleman he was targeted by the Obama Administration and he was targeted in order to try and take down a president and what theyve done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid a big price should be paid 24. 00 days as National Security adviser is the shortest of a rein in the important government post he resigned when confronted with evidence he lied about his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the us that made him vulnerable to blackmail he also lied about his law being for the turkish government and the white house said hed lied to the Vice President his resignation was an issue of trust. When and initially what with the militant quality into russian collusion with the Trump Campaign to win a lighter sentence but last year he changed lawyers and took a more aggressive approach to Court Proceedings even though hed already pled guilty the decision to drop the case has left many legal experts surprised it is appalling that somebody who actually pleaded guilty to 2 crimes is now walking away because the attorney general of the United States is deciding there isnt enough evidence to prosecute him i think at that given the judges. Statements in this case all along judge Emmett Sullivan i think judge sullivan may have something to say about this sudden reversal going trump has hinted hes open to bringing Michael Flynn back into the administration a federal judge now has the final decision but it seems the legal case may be coming to an end the political fallout of the Justice Departments decision is only just beginning alan fischer oh just you know washington forces loyal to libyan war lawyer Cliff Hof Tarr have again attacked the capital tripoli areas from the turkish and italian embassies and a hotel in the city center were shelled after has been trying to seize the capital for more than a year the war in turkey on thursday against supporting the u.

And india 16 Migrant Workers have been killed in a train accident as they walked home after losing their jobs during the pandemic they were crushed by a Freight Train in the Western State after they stopped to rest on the tracks and fell asleep laborers had been returning to their homes in a neighboring state hundreds of kilometers away most public transport as shots u. K. Government is preparing to list some of its lockdown measures the next few days will be critical to see how people follow the social distancing rules during a Public Holiday are insulated travel today with stable where some are worried about tourist disobeying the rules for a town which relies heavily on tourists with civil tells a story of totally changed priorities its deserted many businesses a suffering but theyre adapting well says change his food and drink store to pick up and delivery only and hes proud of how the community has responded whats been super positive is that all the local residents whove lost amounts of it have been coming on to the high street sensibly in sensible numbers but to support the Small Businesses sarah has a business cleaning the houses of wealthy londoners who have 2nd homes here thats has evaporated but shes managing with others as long as people keep their distance it would be a case of life on working down stays then they go into another room or maybe up stairs s. Well ive been weve doing my customers often been able to go to you know weve all been in different rooms and then its a case of musical rooms so to thing you know but the control over the crisis is under threats with the summer here and the government promising easing of the lockdown and the rights of the water its. Because this is what things look like here at the end of march hundreds of londoners having a day out of the seaside risking which doubles health the town was furious people were were outraged by what we dont want is particularly londoners because of the high degree of infection thats in london and therefore the perceived greater risk we dont want lots of londoners or visitors coming down potentially bring in their additional hoyer risk to the area the new normal after lockdown depends on people accepting social distancing this weekend in which civil could prove informative the best Case Scenario of course is that people have learned something over the last 6 weeks about what constitutes appropriate behavior in the new normal the worst Case Scenario is in the coming days and weeks crowds begin to form again and that would surely mean that the lockdown rather than being eased might have to be extended the towns m. P. Has some advice dont bother coming at all i really hope they dont come to us well its not a holiday its not business as normal and we have to get that mindset into our heads in our own families and just stay where we are having spoken to a dozen local businesses not a single one was in favor of easing the lock down if it meant endangering health if a town reliant on people and suffering so much economic damage thinks this the government should surely be taking things slowly Lawrence Leigh aljazeera in which people.
