You watching R T International at 11 am here in moscow this friday the 13th welcome to program. Well for a story for you this hour u. S. Stocks plunged to the lowest in decades the Federal Reserve moved to pump in the mud to ease the strain was investors fret over the impact of the coronavirus pandemic the benchmark Dow Jones Industrial average fell 10 percent in a single day marking the biggest decline since black monday and it was all the way back in 1907 other major american intimacies also closed significant donald trump gave a wry Oval Office Address to the nation but failed to calm investors nubs about the economic damage cope at 19 is causing. This is not a financial crisis this is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world and todays boom bust on r. T. Weve got that expert analysis to try and map out why the stock market roller coaster is heading as what is covered 1000. 00 another fact in play is oil which is seeing a price drop out on supplies. This is the beginning of the greatest financial crisis in u. S. History the financial crisis of us of 2008 will pale in comparison as will the severity of this recession the summer when we look back to these numbers its going to look really grim i think i differ with with my friend peter is actually think its possible that we could get out of this thing pretty quickly come the fall in the winter i think peter has a bit of an apocalyptic view talk about the coronavirus thats not the problem no the coronavirus is just the pin the debt bubble is the problem it doesnt matter the coronavirus can be cured the damage is already done the debt bubble is imploding you know if it wasnt a coronavirus it would have been Something Else this bubble has been looking for in 3 years and it finally found one the us has done everything wrong this stimulus package is is is utterly pointless the this is just government officials trying to make headlines and make news and do what they think theyre supposed to do but it Means Nothing in the fiscal stimulus would mean nothing but i think were faced with with the short term deflation as weve seen from from virtually prices and everything from financials to oil to the fiscal stimulus is going to make the situation worse the u. S. Is broke did your is no money to stimulate the economy all we could do is print money were going to crank up the Printing Presses were effectively dropping money from helicopters but if the corona virus does anything its going to reduce the supply of goods so after this initial decline in prices prices are going to go up because theres not going to be very much to buy the supply of goods is going to go down meanwhile the supply of money is going to go through the roof. Transatlantic choppiness are also being dealt a blow off to donald trump move to ban trips to and from europe which takes effect this friday public because on immune it seems also to the rest. The canadian Prime Minister for example is self isolating for 14 days not after his wife tested positive for covert 19 following a visit u. K. Around the world more than 130000 infections have been registered with countries clamping down on people mixing in Public Schools and workplaces are being shot and major sports fixtures respond to but with anxiety spreading just as fast the coronavirus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous penske reports from paris. With panic in no short supply coronavirus hearing from some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise have been concocting a variety of scams to make a quick buck now were all well aware that the 1st line of defense against a virus is told watched her when youre out in the boat touching everything from. 200 to picking up things in short its a bit difficult to run into a bathroom to scrub.

And weak so if you have the money instead of paying a couple of euros for one you can spend thousands if you like except that the type of mask available over the counter or even from a renowned fashion house is pretty useless against the virus thats at least according to the french government which at the same time is requisitioned all stocks and production or flasks for the next few months reserving them for Health Workers and those who are infected but the scammers have a new ploy france has you probably know a world famous ban or fully covering your face in public thats mainly aimed at conservative muslim women but some tricksters have twisted it to their advantage dressing as Police Officers theyve been told getting chinese visitors to paris who were wearing face masks telling them that they had broken the law and had to pay an on the spot following these students were 1st to pay a 150. 00 euros and find smoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete Face Covering in public spaces Police Investigation found the d.

Loved ones to take precautions and the scams it seems are gaining momentum the French National consumer and fraud office says its received thousands of reports of dog dealings were talking everything from magical lumps with disinfecting properties to anti virus air purifiers the simple and most effective method to stay virus free is something that we should all been doing anyway and that is thoroughly washing our hands with soap and water its that simple so remember to kiss well not physically as weve been told not to be a search but the acronym keep it simple stupid and dont get Cold Shoulder you can ski r. T. Paris. The Coronavirus Crisis is posing unique difficulties for one of greeces smaller outlying islands one case has now been registered on the last boss which is host already to a densely packed refugee camp where more than 20000 people are living and often die of conditions arties evangelos sepsis has been speaking to some of the island of. Im standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the lesbos reese were about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people area its not the base when it comes to fighting in the conditions are not the ideal for People Living in such a small area but now with the spread of corona virus around the world a lot of the people are concerned he went around and spoke to the locals to see what they had to say about a fear of a virus like that spreading among the camp. If it gets like italy will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is good if they manage to isolate one or 2 of those infected with corona virus one of the feel and lead the infection spread further you can imagine what will happen. With them again there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it could be maria thats affected but also mightily the whole island of lesbos will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course im afraid here we have our homes our jobs they say many bad things about us but its us who are dealing with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a big leap virus on the island and you always are ensuring that nothing of those cases have been confirmed here at the morea camp but as we went around and we spoke to refugees who are living in this cow for many many years now they have a different opinion displaced slaves but at least. A lot of people here now i dont know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have its yes men and good men. And im sick but theyre not even treating me nobodys paying any attention but these kind of viruses already here even if you are in the hospital it does not help much because you cannot be cured you know i sleep in a container with other 13 people on the. Staff. Adhi fibrous tracking app so to help people keep infections out pay later in the program we have concerns that there are also perhaps just a bit too much private data. On staying on topic the kota fact is ripping through the u. S. And election process to democratic president ial hopefuls Joe Biden Bernie sanders go head to head on sunday in another round of debate on to serious restrictions this time not only is the debate being moved from arizona to washington that will also be no. Its one of the moderators has also pulled out citing medical concerns as the candidates themselves well saunders who is now behind biden on delegates says he isnt losing any momentum. Must be defeated and i will do everything in my power to make that. On sunday night in the 1st one on one debate of this campaign the American People will have the opportunity to see which candidate is best positioned to accomplish that goal saunderss losses big party blamed on his own target many of whom believe that voices on no longer being. Open explains from new york the last day of democratic primary voting did not go too well for Bernie Sanders and now many voices are calling for him to drop out of the race and clear the road for joe biden however sander says he is not willing to give up just yet now sanders says his campaign actually has the upper hand over his rival when it comes to the youth but it isnt just behind your larger goal. Of the. Theres a generational. One or 2 in the future you need to. Preserve the future oh country now the polls confirm what Bernie Sanders says young people like him more than they like joe biden and one of the goals of the Bernie Sanders campaign is to get them more involved in the electoral process but its not as easy as it sounds how weve been as successful as i would hope in Brigham Young people and the answer is no but why young people aged 20 to 35 approximately adds up to roughly 60 samant 1000000 people if they all signed up to vote sanders would have quite the edge but they havent done that turnout among Younger Voters remains comparatively low some blame the procedure for registering to vote for the 1st time for students who are going to school in another state registering to vote can get quite complicated some said that the Electoral College and the Party Primary process is very confusing and complicated and the quality of education on civic matters is quite low we decided to talk to some younger people here in new york city and find out why the numbers of young people going out to vote is so low did you vote in the last election now do you plan to vote in the upcoming primary vote maybe. Navy Better Believe it why might you not vote. It just doesnt make sense that the publics opinion doesnt even matter when it comes to a president ial election now why do you think a lot of Young Americans dont vote. Cause it doesnt make any sense to pose the most to the kinds of the. People sometimes the lines are really long but. Not as long as adults knew thats what younger people just either dont think its important as are so many people in voting or they just. When i checked into well i feel like a lot of them probably think that their vote doesnt make a difference as i hear from a lot of my friends who can vote so thats probably the devil is what happened last election as well i dont think they feel that their voices heard it is one of their reasons and i dont think that they really understand what a difference it makes in our democracy today are you going to vote for sanders or biden. Sandys like to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i go to. Buy the i think as i stand right now is leaning more toward sanders now the Sanders Campaign has been reaching out to Younger Voters with catchy slogans and internet memes some say this could hurt him with older voters who dont like the resentful towner radicalism coming from the Sanders Campaign on the other hand its the Younger Generation struggling with historic levels of debt and lack of health care who have the most to gain or lose people in my age Group Younger and older than me like you want to people like are working a lot or the rest school or or both they just dont have time for politics and theres also a lot of political apathy student debt but its also. Health care and its jobs those are 3 main thing to a lot of people in my generation in generations theres almost no future for us a lot of these people who might bite and just want to keep things the way they are of all the people the older generations they have their pensions they have this and that they dont see anything already being in our i mean no i have to most people think that all the military actions that the u. S. Has done in the past 20 years has been justified thats just gives people you know to a lot of middle upper middle class liberal types bitin reminds them of things or everything was fine and back to normal even though for the one or more overwhelming majority of the population of the us things werent normal for people worst still strikes struggling to get by. Now if Bernie Sanders does about to drop out of the race the Democratic Partys infighting might risk losing crucial votes one american t. V. Pundit drew far online for suggesting shed rather waste how vote that play along with the Party Establishment maneuvering against saunders i dont think its terrible for progressives. To vote for trump i think thats nuts i would never do that i dont know for sure donald trump either but you can we live line here we go crystal ball saying she will leave it blank in november what an absolute hack this is a really great example of why the privilege inaction with all that on the line crystal ball one of the biggest grifters on the scene is using her platform to advocate for trumps reelection just wear a maggot hat and be done with it the behind the scenes soap opera playing out of the Democratic Party has been a gift to a lot of the us News Coverage who are starring suggestions that support assad does what only help trump get reelected the months in the side of his back a thinking and accusing his critics of being a little thought serving. I will absolutely not default for biden when they try to get into it by saying you must be privileged not to be impacted by trumps policies remember theyre trying desperately to hang on to their privileges which they will never ever extend to you the d. N. C. May have just gone triumph reelected make no mistake of biden who is totally demented excites no one and has 0 good poses to offer is the Democratic Party candidate is trying who win reelection all of these are Republican Party and russian hashtags dont buy into it theyre trying to prevent berna supporters from supporting joe biden so the trump wins in an election he has no chance in. Neagle and media commentator if sound to supported by 10 Party Leaders radio only have themselves to blame there is a sizeable faction and always has been all for the last 2 elections who supported Bernie Sanders who dont like the fact that Bernie Sanders has been shown that hes been moved out of the way for the 2nd time in a row now theyre being told listen shut up vote for the party vote for a vote for vote how youre told to listen to your elders and what theyre doing is theyre saying wait a minute this is not my idea of voting remember the lesser of 2 evils is still evil they know theyre going to get screwed again and then you have other pundits who somehow have established themselves as being the voice of either progressive activism or democrats who are saying no if you dont vote for it joe biden you were violating your oath and theyre saying down with your old im voting my way thats whats happening. At charge house ordered Us Army WhistleblowerChelsea Manning to be released from jail ruling on how detention no longer any puppets that comes off the mining had attempted to kill herself on wednesday mannings appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed in light of which her detention no longer serves any course of purpose the court further finds that enforcement of the accrued conditional fines would not be punitive but rather necessary to the course of purpose of the courts civil contempt order. Manning is still now recovering and hospital and its unclear whether she will be jailed again if she fails to pay the fine manning has been a presence of for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a quad jury wadia we spoke with you know an activist thats kevin zeese who believes that the needle process used against running is fundamentally on your own but this whole case is an injustice and a violation of her basic human rights the secret grand jury system in the United States is very unfair it only allows the prosecutor in the room with 2 jurors no defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story thats what manning is protesting releasing those were the true illustrations going when it comes to Julian Assange and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against Julian Assange they are not supposed to use the grand jury for the purpose of gathering evidence to prove that indictment but it shows to me that the government is not very confident about the evidence they have or got that indictment they want more. Back to create a virus because Tech Companies have been looking to step up the role in halting the spread of covert 19 various ops have been developed to highlight the increasing risks but critics fear its not the expense of uses privacy so here are 5 a couple of examples one application asks for your postal code but also goes as far as also going about personal hygiene habits others get people to publish the like symptoms they create the map of high risk areas based on not data but all that use of possible data could fall foul of e. U. Laws which has really restricts the medical data which can be gathered its illegal for example to use or cation data in any way to track someone that is sick employers who cant take random. Temperature readings of their staff and they cant gather other Digital Information unless medical professionals are somehow involved while weve been discussing whether data privacy can take a back seat when it comes to exploiting tech to tackle the pandemic. If ups can be made to work in that way where data is anonymised and we can have a service that provides some form of utility to the general population then there is real potential here to to provide a service that would be absolutely necessary in this kind of occasion if people are worried about being surveyed by the state and thats too late the state is surveying everybody and so are private corporations embedded in the state so we take a really security 1st approach that theres no reason why you cant keep the data secure and theres no reason why you cant abide by g. D. P. Our dispose of the date data once the virus is over it is potentially a very a useful tool for dealing with a pandemic like this because weve got all of this Communications Infrastructure which was not liking during the black death for example which was allow us to act collectively to protect ourselves its all a bit hurried we dont have a single focus on a single up we dont actually have the permissions structure were not able to identify accurately the people who we actually need to track and actually some of the security in the privacy provisions havent been put in and minded about and if were going to rush this then the chance of it being secure and everything working accurately is very unlikely to be a sufficient we do need laws to protect the citizens but the laws us to be rational realistic and in the situation like this you could have. Basically people being asked to volunteer information about where theyve been and what theyve done unless should be any problem in offering the phone to you know legitimate medical personnel so that they can use it to help them fight this crisis. And rounding off populism as there are few places on earth where a sense of identity is more keenly felt than in jerusalem and the east of the city though theres a fury among palestinians living now at how washington refers to them in a new human rights report that described as arab residents or non Israeli Citizens are middle east correspondent paula flair has been gauging reaction in the city. Whats in a name a lot if you live in East Jerusalem and a palestinian but washington has decided to simply ditch the palestinian identity of those who live here in East Jerusalem the state department now considers them arab residents or non Israeli Citizens the move has infuriated many with palestinian leaders saying its an attempt to wipe out their National Identity its just playing with fire and may not as he stands Means Nothing to us and by the way he can go to resent us from that Means Nothing to us we out of the old regime the people of the palestinians when i say im pretty soon in some places they dont like they dont they want us to say we are israelis and if i am palestinian who is trying to say anything this is our land our country our state the state of palestine im not going to leave this nationality while Freedom Fighters here. Give rights to decide our life and he says its hot air this land is for the arabs its our land we were born here in israel this is East Jerusalem which israel captured in the 1967 war its late it makes the area and it moves that is still not recognized internationally more than 360000 palestinians or non Israeli Citizens live here most of them hold israeli residency permits but very few have Israeli Citizenship theyve long sought to make this area they kept her till the change in american terminology comes amid increased wrangling over the contested city the american president Donald Trumps middle east plan says that you recently should remain the softened capital of the state of israel for ever policia East Jerusalem now earlier i spoke to political analyst m a r and based on television now he says that europeans palestinians could have more political leverage in israel bought that would mean accepting is worth it. The residence off is jerusalem the palestinian residents could claim israeli citizen cheap and in death case they could vote in the elections to the knesset and flip the government from netanyahu to his adversaries but they choose not to do if they choose to remain loyal by the stimulus and this is where they clash wiese both the netanyahu government and the trumpet in this race for the United States has.

My welcome to sophie co visionary space Sophie Shevardnadze interplanetary flights may be just decades away. But what will they be like and are we ready to embrace the interstellar age while i ask nasa various science researcher professor james. Jimbo welcome to the show its great to have you with us so jim Scientists Say that they sun will expand into red giant and eventually destroy last on earth how much time do we have. Well so far thats actually true and but i wouldnt worry about it its going to take at least maybe 5000000000 years or so the sun is a typical star there are hundreds of millions of stars like that in our own galaxy and so astronomers can monitor the life cycle of stars like our sun and we know the sun is about 4 and a half 1000000000 years old and it stars like the sun last around 9 or 10000000000 years so dont lose any sleep over it but its true that some day the earth will be destroyed by our own star well look at the world well live in nj and i mean the growing number of conflicts on the Climate Change is recognised as another existential threat were facing what makes you think that will survive for even another 1000 years before you have billions thats a great question i mean fundamentally im an optimist
