Took their worst it since 97. 00 is black monday crash this time of course caused by investor fears over the handling of the covert 19 crisis. By their morning just turned midnight this Early Saturday Morning here in moscow live from out internationals world news age q its kevin irwin here with the 30 minute update and maybe no surprise its kids coronaviruses making headlines again well give you some time latest is now several countries have declared emergency status this friday in response to the outbreak of covert 19 spain joined a number of other european nations which is struggling for containment measures and now the big news this morning donald trump has announced the u. S. Is stepping up its risk level and response. To unleash the full power of the federal government the effort today i am officially declaring a National Emergency. 2 very big words. The action i am taking will open up access to up to 50000000000. 00 of. Very importantly for. A large amount of money for states and territories are these in our shared fight against this disease and we heard from trump you speaking in the white house rose garden surrounded by mike pence and other officials explaining the dramatic measures now being taken in the United States in response to the corona Virus Outbreak now so far in the United States we have 1800 confirmed cases as well as 41 deaths now when trump declared a National Emergency that freed up roughly 50000000000 dollars worth of funds that you can then use to take action and and set things up now trump describes how they are setting up these drive through Testing Centers that are being set up around the country in which people are able to be tested they dont get out of their car they just drive up be tested and then drive away and that way theyre not getting out of their car theres no danger of them spreading it in the area in which the test is taking place trouble also took the opportunity to tout his travel ban to the European Union a band that has been criticized you know many pointed out it doesnt apply to certain countries but regardless trump did and said it was an absolutely necessary measure and talked about the need for closing the borders and why closing the borders is very very important in a situation like this now trump wasnt the only one who spoke and we also heard from different officials quite interesting remarks but it appears that in addition to measures that are being taken on a local level here in new york city in different parts of the country we see local states of emergency being declared local dramatic measures being taken states have schools closed their schools. You know Public Events are being canceled all throughout the United States new york city at this point has outlawed any gathering of more than 500 people broadway has been closed down in addition to these local measures we now have the federal government of the United States under the leadership of President Donald Trump declaring a National Emergency on a federal level and action is being taken a number of us corporations such as walmart and others were listed by the president as being involved in the africa to to fight against iran a virus and get us through this crisis here in the United States david those who. Think that its a roll of the online news site this company it is an. American in this state of emergency for the greater good as well as freeing up this huge amount of contingency money well talk about how much it is what else does declaring a National Emergency actually do in the battle against the spread of the virus here. Well thats thats the big one that you know the states dont have a lot of money and they dont have a lot of personnel theres a lot of you know shortages that we have here theres only a 1000000 hospital beds for the whole United States with one of the lowest censuses of beds per 1000 people so and way too few. And intensive care units and so on so were going to get overwhelmed pretty quickly and that kind of money is going to be needed to make expansions the governor of california i saw just passed they got a lot through or an executive order saying that they can commandeer hotels if they need to. And bedsore you see there are 50000000000. 00 is whats being tightened around here is whats going to be freed up when we last had the state of emergency with all of the whole where is this money going to come from considering the following you know kind of thing. When they free it up like that they can get it wherever they want they can borrow it if they need to. You know when state once they declare a National Emergency they can get the money. You know it just increases the National Debt that is no they dont have to allocate it in congress so so thats the thing the big problem is that the horses already left the barn in the United States in the Trump Administration had been low balling the numbers and keep he kept a boat from landing because he didnt want to have the patients with corona virus added to the totals and as he was trying to say that that that he had stopped that they pandemic in the United States so you know what from what were hearing because they didnt have any test kits after you know the Trump Administration cut the budget for the c. D. C. Over the last year. We only had about 4000 test kits altogether in the United States and so people havent been tested although we want to palm oil also worry about whats going to help with oil you know things that disrupted except for people unable to get to work in his announcement you know that the purchase of all the fill the country Strategic Petroleum reserve lets listen to the out come the strike this is what its they. Are. Based on the price of oil ive also instructed the secretary of energy to purchase that a very good price large quantities of crude oil for storage in the u. S. Strategic reserve were going to fill it right up to the top. Yet wonder low is going to go on what the white house is really expecting it behind closed doors what the advisers a sad worry about oil and. That doesnt make any sense at all i mean if you see using that the emergency money to buy oil when its so cheap to fill the Strategic Reserve that you know normally the Strategic Reserve is all about what you do when. Prices are so high people cant afford to gas right now its phenomenally cheap so i dont understand what that has to do with the National Emergency the National Emergency is that they help directors of at least 2 states have publicly stated that they think that you know heigho in washington both have said that rather than having about a 1000 or are several 100 people in their states with you know virus its actually 100000 in each states because so many people have gotten it may have been tested or discovered with it so we may actually have over 2000000 people in the United States already with the virus because we havent had test of those one medical expert in the u. K. Saying in fact he hoped despite the horror that would bring to a lot of families the majority of people get it because that then brings behind it a way that the unity i mean thats the other side of it going back to the fragmentation should we say in the u. S. And how states can deal with it only 12 of 50 states actually mandate that employees give sick pay thats going to worry a lot of people because if they feel just a bit maybe just one of those colds its very difficult to tell you know theyre still going to come to work if they think theyre not going to get paid. And these are the low paid workers who are basically these Service Workers in contact with with average americans every day you know waiters kitchen staff. You know delivery people warehouse people who handle the stuff that gets delivered to your house its phenomenal we have 100000000 people in the United States who dont have sick pay yeah. Ok we get it i really appreciate it from the editor of the online news site this count me out and keep up to speed with that come back to us tell us what the latest is for the coming days here thanks dave thanks for having me well the World Health Organization is one that more covert 1000 cases are now being recorded in europe each day than in china at the height of the outbreak there its director general called on countries everywhere to take aggressive measures to slow the spread of the illness europe has now become the epicenter of the pundit make wheeze more reported cases and is done the rest of the world combined part of it from china more cases of now being reported every day than were reported in china the highest of its. Not the height of its appeal to me. For that were an announcement for europe u. S. President on trouble already placed a ban on foreigners flying into the u. S. From 26. 00 european nations public figures of course all of you neither the canadian provinces of isolating for 14 days after his wife tested positive for cope with 19 after a trip to the u. K. Around the world more than 130000 infections have been registered with the death toll now at 5000. 00 and climbing countries are clamping down on people mixing in Public Schools and workplaces have been shuttered major sports fixtures being perspired but with all this understandable anxiety spreading just as fast as that spreading also opportunities for the unscrupulous to make themselves available as shallow do birds can report snow from paris as if there was enough to worry about. With panic in no short supply of virus hearing from some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise ive been concocting a variety of scams to make a quick buck now were all well aware that the 1st line of defense against the virus is total watched her and when youre out in the boat touching everything from. 200. 00 to picking up things in shops its a bit difficult to run into a both room to scrub. Every time well thank goodness of course those little travel sized bottles of Hand Sanitizer to fight those nasty germs and that is of course if you can still find any the phones dont stop printing this morning we have the schools the town halls the Public Transport Company everybody wants gel we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of jail exponentially increased the problem was considered serious the french government stepped in to you that today when you take care of the degree regulate the prices of hide. Another precaution for many is to do on a face mask a tiny bit of cough covering your mouth and is this seasons must have it seems the face mask took over Paris Fashion Week 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 over masks 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 on 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 euros and find spoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete Face Covering in public spaces Police Investigation found the dees police were pretending to be Police Wearing a mask for Health Reasons is absolutely not illegal. There are trying to pick on the weak and the elderly in the district around bordeaux there are reports of people selling door to door Decontamination Services for a snip at 1500 euros these con artists use a pressure washer to do a little bit of cleaning thats not all theyre up to this type of canvassing allows these crooks to enter your home check the presence of valuable objects of the presence of an alarm system perform if they have the opportunity a robbery by trick the majority of the victims of robbery elderly who are physically weaker tell your loved ones to take precautions and the scams it seems 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 purifiers the simple and most effective method to stay virus free is something that we should all been doing anyway and that is so early washing our hands with soap and water its that simple. So remember to kiss well physically as weve been told what is this search but the acronym keep it simple stupid dont get caught short of people ski r. T. Paris lets update you on the figures here in russia as it stands so far this morning 11 new cases of corona virus have been confirmed that therefore brings the total number of people infected to 45 across this vast country moves being made to clamp down on any further spread no new in last few hours was Health Officials announced further tightening on flights and movement announcing flights the European Union and now nations like switzerland norway will be reduced from monday passengers will be limited from traveling to cities only now next the Coronavirus Crisis is posing unique difficulties one of greeces smaller outlying islands one case has now been registered on lesbos but its big news because of course thats the places host of the densely packed refugee camp with more than 20000 the living in dire conditions our correspondent eventually sips as went there and spoke to some of the islanders about their fears. 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 best 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 in the realm of 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 to him of them again there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will merely 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 if we have our homes our farms or 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 bit leaf iris on the island and jewels are ensuring that nothing of those cases have been confirmed here at the moria camp but as we went around it 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 it so yes men and good men. Thats why 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 people. Coronaviruses making their Coronavirus Crisis is posing so serious jumping around in front of me coronavirus make it the top headlines as predicted u. S. Stocks have risen slightly this friday after several wall street in this is suffered the worst stocks in decades this friday after several wall street who says really went through some shock the bounce back comes after the Federal Reserve pledged to inject 1. 00 trillion dollars to the markets to ease the strain on thursday the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 10 percent in a single day market biggest decline since black monday in 1907 other major american into seas close significantly lower to donald trump costco the Rare Oval Office address the nation but failed to come investors nervous about the economic damage covert 900 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 artist boom bust has gathered expert analysis to try and map where the stock market roller coasters go in as well as covert 19 the other factors you were saying earlier on is all which is seen a price drop and supply surge theres a program that you can see at r. T. Dot com its called boom bust its our you tube channel as well talk in specially about it. This is the beginning of the greatest financial crisis in u. S. History the financial crisis of u. S. 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 externally graham 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 to 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 u. S. 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 dear 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 coronavirus 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. Well listen to the way from crude have a look some other news another whistle blows cold out the International Chemical weapons watchdog is now the 4th person in a matter of months all of them comes to. Investigation into the alleged 2018 chemical attack in syrias do you know most employees describe an atmosphere of fear within the organization. The threats of personal home is not an illusion or else many of those would have spoken out by now how many more whistleblowers have to come forward before we get the truth the full truth surrounding the o. P. C. W. s final report on the alleged duma chemical attack back when it had only 2 naysayers it was easy enough to dismiss them as a couple of lunatics inspectors a and b. Are not whistleblowers theyre individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence but after a 3rd came to their aid in february and now a 4th the o. P. C. W. s narrative that theyre just a bunch of rogue employees is starting to seem incredible and the organizations final report on dumas alleged chemical attack has some serious doubts to contend with the leaks publisher gray zone said it was able to verify the identity of this 4th employee but decided to leave them anonymous for their own protection heres what the leak had to say i was horrified and similar surprised by recent events in the organization the mistreatment of 2 highly regarded in accomplished professionals can only be described as opponents i fully support their endeavors in that it is for the greater good and not for personal gain or in the name of any political agenda they are in fact trying to protect the integrity of the organization which has been hijacked and brought into shameful disrepute it was the o. P. C. W. s final report that was used to justify bombing runs by the us france and britain across syria the report cited claims that gas canisters were air dropped by Assads Air Force on buildings housing civilians but if the original whistleblowers revelations are true they change the picture entirely that would mean the final report was utterly mishandled the doom of Fact Finding Mission team was cut out of the drafting of the final Fact Finding Mission report the instruction of the chief of cabinet who then appointed the team and the head of the Fact Finding Mission to complete the task without any consultation with the duma team the drug. To subsequent we reversed the findings and wrote conclusions without explaining why we simply do not understand what new facts science medical opinion and engineering and what subsequent analysis justified the stern round whistleblower number 4 even suggests that this situation is only part of a larger problems that the o. P. C. W. Working in the organization has been knowing opener and the cause of the professional shame when i became aware of how a key element of the organization was and clearly continues to be mismanaged im one of many who was stunned and frightened into silence by the reality of how the organization operates the letters and demands a full investigation into the whistleblowers allegations but based on the way the organizations handled criticism so far many think such a demand is more like a pipe dream. Rush is already reactive calling on the watchdog not to dismiss the claims too quickly of particular interest is the fact that this whistleblower unlike the other 3 will blowers is possibly a current employee at the o. P. C. W. Technical secretariat and is watching this unfolding mess in the hague 1st hand we hope that the mounting criticism of the technical secretariat from the people concerned over the o. P. C. W. s health will not be left unheeded. But some developments coming in over the middle east as a rock heres announces going to complain to the u. N. Security council over a u. S. Led airstrikes that left 6 iraqis dead last night on friday the british and american ambassadors were summoned for questioning in baghdad iraq has taken a real firm stand so far on it stating that washingtons actions will have a definite effect on relations the u. S. Bombing of Government Security and civilian headquarters undermines counterterrorism efforts and disrupt the agreement between iraq and the global coalition. The pentagon claims it was targeting the iran back to ca type hezbollah militia which it accuses of carrying out a deadly rocket attack against Coalition Personnel 2 days before the u. S. Has said its for tele tree strikes were aimed at taking out 5 of the paramilitary groups weapons storage facilities. In response to this attack on an iraqi base that hosts Coalition Forces supporting the iraqi fight against isis we carried out precision defensive strikes to degrade and destroy it vance conventional weapons that have been provided to keep could keep hizbullah by their any and backers we are in iraq to support the people of iraq in their fight against isis however we always reserve the right to defend our forces whenever theyre attacked or threaten the iraqi authorities they have got another story their line is that the socalled precision strikes chile killed 3 government soldiers 2 Police Officers and a civilian an unfinished airport in the city of karbala was also damaged the attacks of be met with some anger in the capital. And i think at the head are the let the about it and we condemned the attack some popular move lies ation forces sites and the rock iraq has become a war zone for internal and external wars american the run the fighting one of them threatens to be out there and ultimately iraqis are the ones who for victim. Schools are being settled between america and iran and it is happening in our soil it violates our sovereignty it wileys how right now we are calling for the United Nations to intervene. But. I am surprised that the government is ignoring such actions if you condemn both sides iran and america their actions violate iraqs sovereignty which has become a joke among countries in the region and around the world so trust me russia has a a Foreign Policy adviser to the Iraqi Parliament he told us earlier the ongoing u. S. Military presence is proving to be extremely harmful for his country. Its ties the salvati of iraq its also a job or ties the life of iraqis but does not forget the american attacks actually killed iraqis just civilians and policeman so at the end iraqis always are the victims i dont think the americans will withdraw it will not happen by themselves. The actually they paid the trillions of dollars since 2003 its its not its my thought is that there is no sense of withdrawal from iraq without getting anything from iraq it can be happen if the iraqi political blocs and the iraqi People United together and say to iran and to the United States ok that said we will not accept you what you are destroying our country you are killing our civilians so of that way i think only on that way we can change the situation in iraq. The few places on earth or a sense of identity is more keenly felt in jerusalem in the east of the city the theory right now among palestinians living there and how washington is referred to them in a new human rights report theyre described as quote arab residents or quote non Israeli Citizens middle east correspondent paula slee has been gauging more reaction from the city than. 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 the resent us from iran that Means Nothing to us we out of the old United People of the palestinians when i say im pretty soon going in some places they dont like they dont 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 says she the american President Donald Trumps middle east plan says such a recent him should remain the softened capital of the state of israel for ever policia East Jerusalem political summer and in television says jerusalems palestinians could have more political leverage in israel but that would mean theyve got to accept Israeli Citizenship. The residence off. The palestinian residents could claim Israeli Citizenship and in death case they could vote in the elections to the knesset and flip the government from netanyahu to his adversaries but. Choose not to do it choose to remain loyal palestinians and this is where they clash with both
