Just a day to leaving here in moscow this sunday welcome to the weekly or under the big headlines of the last 7 days as reported by us to you and of course one main story dominating and set to dominate for a good while yet the effects of coronavirus approving increasingly inescapable one way or another in the big news of the week that came out over it in the Us Donald Trump tested negative covert 19 after hed better prison official who later turned out to have the infection last night after an indepth discussion with the president regarding cobbett 1000 testing he elected to proceed this evening i received confirmation that the test is negative the virus seem really hasnt got into the white house but it is having a devastating effect globally with the death toll now passing 6000 the consequences of rippling through jobs businesses and with scores of events cancelled as people are told to stay at home reporting their off. Fear is growing fear is that someone discovered an actual jumanji aboard the real world in an almost biblical like game of pandemonium. Right here in. Europe and locusts are actually swarming the middle east and africa as youre watching this but one crisis is of course overshadowing all others the coronavirus and the World Health Organization is confirming our worst fears in the plants 2 weeks the number of cases of corbett 19 outside china has increases so as to unfold. And the number of affected countries. We have that for many of the our system and that quoted 19 can be kind of. A pandemic its been a nightmarish shock week for stocks to the worst plunge in decades wiped trillions of dollars from the market for the average american it meant the crisis lifted more than 20000. 00 out of each citizen spock it also fueling the quick fire sale of season Donald Trumps announcement that all european holidaying plans are to be cancelled to keep new cases from entering our assures we will be suspending all travel from europe to the United States for the next 30 days the u. K. Being one of the few countries to evade the initial ban was perhaps some very sad irony when london publicly and apparently gave up on all efforts to contain the disease eventually Vice President mike pence thought better and added the country on the banned list too but americas major indices kept reeling as if it were the stocks themselves that had caught covered 19 shaken with fever even the federal reserves absolutely massive cash lifeline utterly failed to pay to the markets black as trump struggled with a response 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 meanwhile europe officially took up the torch from china as the new epicenter of the pandemic even big jean offered its condolences and as cities and all nations went on lockdown reactions have been mixed from ransacked supermarkets to prison riots to some making the best of the situation. Globally almost all major sporting events have been either canceled or postponed leagues championships and public gatherings are all on the banned list so until this jumanji board is cleared of what lessons can we learn well be bald be careful. And wash your hands. Is the wise advice or their eggs are to spread in a rapidly as well as the corona virus is also providing opportunities for the unscrupulous if there was enough to worry about a shell or do been reported in the week from paris. 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 pouch touching everything from. 100 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 had the schools the town halls the Public Transport Company everybody was joe we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of hand gel exponentially increased the problem was considered serious the french government stepped in to you that today when you take the degree regulating the prices of hydraulic on a gel 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 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 fine these students were 1st to pay a 150 euros and find smoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete Face Covering in public spaces Police Investigation found the d. C. Police were pretending to be Police Wearing a mask for Health Reasons is absolutely not illegal. There are trying to pick on the weak 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 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 fairly washing our hands with soap and water its that simple. Remember to kiss well not physically as weve been told not to be is this search but the acronym keep it simple stupid and dont get caught. R. T. Paris as we reported in the week are really suppose his soul is from people so different ways and so the difference here is the small greek of the letters force recorded its furthest infection a few days ago but is big news there particularly because of course that place is also struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in a crowded camp where conditions are already dire. As our correspondents went to hear his concerns about coping with a new Health Crisis. 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 the corona virus a relic 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 and this is what. 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 3 but what have they feel and lead the infection spread further you can imagine what would happen if they but want to move them i go 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 my telling 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 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 the scalp 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. Thats why im sick but theyre not even treating me nobodys paying any attention but these kind of viruses over words you hear 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 but. Because of warning the world to be on condition of bracing for an economic shock the head of the European Central bank says leaders need to work urgently to contain the spread of infections Global Stock Markets suffered record falls in recent days crude Oil Prices Also took the sharpest weekly dive since the 2008 financial crisis and supplies far outstripped drawing tomorrow and it wasnt just down to the Health Crisis though a price war broker would source saudi arabia diggin after all producing nations failed to Reach Agreement on cutting production next more has ever seen a correspondent looking at the possible consequences on virt side of it. 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong a subject that has dominated the news all week. Zones the corona virus spreading fears grow of a Global Pandemic a huge buy good piece is already prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched an Oil Price War the markets are getting punched in the face a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isnt so bad i mean cheaper fuel truck seems to think its good. Good for the consumer gasoline prices coming down so heres my question whats the point of cheap fuel when you cant drive or fly anywhere because of an epidemic because of corn team aligns are clearly not going to stock up on kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience less demand as traveling goes down that is going to be one of the factors that will likely keep b. Or cries depressed now you are starting to get by we the whole world is facing catastrophe it isnt just one problem its many and they feed each other they multiply each other 1st the airlines suffer fuels cheap but no ones flying anywhere no one travels tourism collapses meaning millions of people lose income if millions stop making money they stop buying stuff so the factories shut down meaning more people lose jobs and so on of course we have the impact of the crisis which is made by the corona virus spreading around europe italy we have just seen it and then of course the. Situation with oil which is a bit complicated and so far ive never seen anything like this if we backed it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now will we get to the crux of it think a little trip back to 2008 he is a graph showing the u. S. Debt market in 20082 trillion it collapsed because bankers high on greed gave out loons to people to buy houses that they couldnt afford we hope that least that they had learned their lesson. Watch what they did next since then theyve loaned out 3 and the hoff times as much the us Shale Industries then now selling oil cheaper than it cost them to produce the ad lines with no passing just the hotels with no guests the business is with no clients in 2008 the worlds economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed the house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have the 1st they were in the oil crisis in the ninetys and the stock market probably everywhere even if. Greedy or sick with their worst one day drop ever theres no point in panicking government still have tools to the lay a melt out tax cuts debt relief but the loonie work for a while and after that well theyll be no point in panicking because it will be too late. To explain with us tonight life going on in france will just polls have closed for frances local elections but surprise surprise turnout very low of a coronavirus we take a look at how the voting booth tried to encourage people in will it work by the looks of it after the break. You see every passage is the death of something all passages involve some kind of conflict in between where one is trying to reconstitute the old way of doing things but it doesnt work as a service im often working with people in those in between so again the key is how do i find might. Passed through all of this somewhere to why find innocent those moments we have to start beginning to trust what is coming to. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person if there is. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. Again thanks for watching tonight les check out away from corona virus from a talk about some other news the russian and Turkish Military in the way carried out their 1st joint patrol along a new Security Code or in syrias war torn italy province it comes after the 2 sides finalized the details of a cease fire agreement that was struck here in moscow earlier in the month there deal stablish to 6 kilometers deep a buffer zone on either side of the m 4 highway which cuts across syria from east to west the joint patrols aim to ensure the cease fire holds the cold has though been rejected by some of the extremist factions including taria of which exercises de facto control inside the shouted province the Russian Military did encounter some opposition along the road this sunday saying its changed its route now to try to avoid risking civilian casualties. Civilians including women and children as human shields the Russian Coordination center decided to shorten the route distance to avoid any incident that could result in civilian suffering video of the disturbance one of them anyway on the highway shows a group of syrians protesting against the joint patrol men been tires and used cars to blockade the road so the military vehicles could. Have been backing opposing sides in the ongoing civil war in syria of course which will soon be into his head thea no but in recent months of coming weeks recently close to direct confrontation moscow it accused of failing to abide by the us tonight in such agreements but not separating extremist factions from the moderate groups. Misuse of arab who believes the joint patrols can though help solve the problem even at this stage. Well we have to realize right now is the area is home to 3 almost 4000000 people and theres about 10012000 i believe fighters that russia and the assad regime label as are designated as terrorists turkey of course designates the. Group as terrorists as well now when you have 10000 fighters entrenched in an area of 3 to 4000000 people its very very hard to extract these people without dealing damage weve seen what the americans have done in iraq when they tried to extract about 5010000 fighters out of that area the left area was leveled massive 1000000 casualties and turkey is trying to be much more careful in removing these terrorists from this area as its creating direction between aside and the rebel groups and the opposition joint patrols like the one turkey and russia are doing together to create this buffer zone between both sides are very very important but that does not change the fact that these groups that are designated as terrorist do need to be neutralized if we have been hopefully Going Forward turkey will to be able do a better job of this working closely with russia on neutralizing these groups. Its called the u. S. Elections in the year 2 states are perspiring their president ial primaries theyre over Health Concerns its georgia louisiana im talking about there now have to wait a further 2 months to go to the polls sunday night will those see the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the Democratic Partys nomination the covered 1000. 00 pandemic means its going to be a pretty small gathering to be no Live Audience watching joe biden and Bernie Sanders slug it out one of the moderators has also dropped over Health Concerns and the events been relocated nonetheless for Vice President bidens other role in clinching big wins in choose those primaries. For all those who have been knocked down all those have been counted lets be frank this is your campaign. Just over a week ago many. Cleared through the skins used. Now are very much why biden won in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan a delegate rich state which rival Bernie Sanders picked up in 26 states thats led to biden being presented by some media anyway as the candidate best place to be donald trump in november coming up but as caleb maupin explains the Democratic Party establishment seems to have already made up its mind despite a growing number of biden gaffes. The race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and its pretty clear where the bets are going there on joe biden the good guy its time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me that joe biden is the right person to do that hes the nicest person ive ever met but he is just a good guy and why not have a good guy in the white house after all for the past 3 years the media has been working very hard to convince everyone that pure evil has overtaken the u. S. Presidency but it doesnt take very deep digging to discover that you can rub off joe bidens good guy shine take a look at how he insulted Detroit Assembly plant worker who questioned his views on gun rights. He also has hinted that he believes that race and intellectual ability are somehow connected to your kids you just as brady just as towns white kids on top of that he is known to just make things up and say things on the fly that have absolutely no connection to reality we choose unity over division we choose science over fiction we choose truth over facts and a lot of ways joe biden sounds an awful lot like donald trump lets see if americans can tell them apart i bet youre as bright as you are good looking. Its actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts. I was actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. Without actually biden and youre a lying dog faced pony soldier. So its gotta be true and actually biden also the narrative is supposed to be that donald trump is a big mean bully and joe biden is a lovable adorable grandpa with good intentions and hes supposed to be way better than that wild eyed radical Bernie Sanders except dont you remember how recently everyone was bashing joe biden i just think by. In his declining i dont think he has the energy and he has been a skilled debater we saw him with sarah palin weve seen him in the past the question is does he still have his job and destroy native and is he how sure are busy can you imagine that man in a president ial debate with donald trump theres not enough popcorn in the world to do is how subtly biden inserts obama into every possible answer having significant mental faculties issues is everyone ok with biden being president of the United States when hes having difficulty remembering the name of you know politicians that hed be dealing with on a regular basis but now we are told that opposition to joe biden is a russian plot the kremlins english language media aim to influence americans on the home tough activity promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording trumps efforts to investigate his eating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd term claimed that biden is called to be unraveling on some eyes that allegations of corruption are doing real damage to his president ial bid now the race is getting heated as the field has narrowed so the question is now will joe biden be able to keep that good guy image when its time to start taking shots at Bernie Sanders. R. T. New york. Us federal judge ordered the release of Army WhistleblowerChelsea Manning from jail ruling that her detention no longer serves any purpose money that attempt to kill a self wednesday. Mannings appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive 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 pain in prison since may for if he could testify against we can expect for a grand jury to learn that his kevin zeese describes the Legal Process used against manning is fundamentally unfair well 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 the jurors no defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story thats what manning is protesting so i know her and shes a very strong person but obviously its a lot of pressure but i think shes more likely go out of that gel dead then testifying she is not going to change your opinion shes made that clear and thats why this friday the judge should end this injustice and release or this is a violation of u. S. Law a violation of International Law and these to come to an end really signals where the trouble is going when it comes to julian a songe and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against julius onj 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 about that indictment they want more. Despite restrictions in nationwide closures of restaurants and other Public Places polls are beginning to close in france where local elections have been taking place all day today the last polling stations are due to show in just a few hours now and so far disappointing turnout a lot of people there suppose theyll think its reportedly down 15 percent on numbers from the 2014 vote present amount of work said that the elections need to be timely to ensure democracy while stressing expert advice but regarding the current Health Crisis to one of balance the 2 things the government tried to car many public fears over hygiene at the polling stations with new measures workers wearing latex gloves well the regular disinfection too they say free hand gel and even arrows draw on the floor to keep a safe distance from the voters will let you know the outcome of that i suppose in a few hours time to morrow.
