Theyre just turned 11 in the evening or moscow this sunday welcome to the weekly a roundup of the big stories 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 coronavirus and as it stands so far tonight the death toll from it has passed 6000 globally its having a devastating effect the consequences are rippling through jobs and businesses and with events canceled and people being told to stay at home reporting next he goes down. Fear is growing fear is that someone discovered an actual jumanji aboard the real world in an almost biblical like game of pandemonium. Like. The up 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 of china has includes serves to unfold. And the number of our ficta countries. We have that for many of the our system and that viewed 19 can be kind of. A pundit week 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 citizens pocket 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 covert 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 more minute 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 still very much the sound advice but now is their anxiety spread so too is reported in the week it seems is opportunity opportunity for unscrupulous to cash in on coronavirus charlotte who burns can report on that from paris. With panic in no short supply virus here in front some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise have been concocting a variety of scams a to make a quick buck now were all well 6 aware that the 1st line of defense against the virus is told watch on her and when youre out in the boat touching everything from. To hundreds 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 eddie the phones dont stop ringing this morning we have the school the town hall the Public Transport Company everybody wants gel we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of 1. 00 gel exponentially increased the problem was considered so serious the french government stepped in to you that today when you take the degree regulating the prices of hydrocodone it gels 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 of 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 following 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 in the room 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 or 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 the early washing our hands with soap and water its that simple. So remember to kiss well physically as weve been told what to be is a search but the acronym keep it simple stupid dont get caught short of people ski r. T. Paris is so we knew coming in on this know its going to start well see more and more so as the crisis develops in the week we saw more stories coming in from around the world about the ramifications for people next case in point the greek island of lesbos small as it is it recorded its 1st infection a few days ago but its huge news there because of course thats the place that struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in that crowded camp where conditions are already dire version of sepsis a correspondent went to the island is concerns about what they may be facing next. 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 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 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 one of the feel and lead the infection spread further you can imagine what will happen with him of them ago 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 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 deadly virus on the island and jewels 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 the scalp for many many years now they have a different opinion this place like witnessed. 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 and. Thats why im sick but theyre not even treating me nobodys paying any attention but these kind of virus is 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 but. Also in the way. Senior bankers warning the world to brace for an economic shock this said the head of the European Central bank telling leaders they need to act urgently to contain the spread of infections Global Stock Markets suffered record falls in recent days crude oil prices to also took their sharpest weekly dive since the 2008 financial crisis a surprise far outstrips drying demand it wasnt just to the Health Crisis a price war broke out which source saudi arabia diggin of the Oil Producing nations failed to Reach Agreement on cutting production next more of our Senior Correspondent looks at the possible consequences. 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. So the corona virus spreading fears grow of a Global Pandemic a huge buy good pieces through prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched and oil price 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 trump 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 al lines 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 my 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 fuel 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 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 a half times as much the us Shale Industries then now selling oil cheaper than it cost them to produce the adelines with no passing just the hotels with no guests the businesses with no clients in 2008 the worlds economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed their house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have heard the 1st it worth in the oil crisis in the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even without jobs and greedy or sick with the worst one day drop ever theres no point in panicking government still have tools to delay a meltdown 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. Said fly for us to go in for at least although a bit disjointed with less fanfare talking of the Democratic Partys 2 hopefuls preparing for a head to head clash still in sunday nights debate joe biden on the front foot of the pretty pretty sound as in this weeks round of primaries covering it in the bag. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing Dramatic Development only and going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down in. Again away from coronavirus for a bit showing the russian and Turkish Military is have carried out their 1st joint patrol along a new security corridor 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 this month the deal established in a 6 kilometers deep buffer zone on either side of the m 4 highway that cuts across syria from east to west the joint patrols aim to ensure the cease fire holds the accord has though crucially been rejected by some of the extremist factions there including taria. Which exercises defacto control inside that shattered province the Russian Military did encounter some opposition along the road this sunday earlier today too saying its therefore changed its route now to avoid risking civilian casualties terrorist try to use civilians including women and children as human shields the russian Turkish Coordination Center decided to shorten the route distance to avoid any incident that could result in civilian suffering. What were seeing here now is video of one disturbance on the highway early a showing a group of syrians protesting against the joint patrol ties as you can see and they used cars to blockade the road so that the military vehicles couldnt pass rusher and turkey have been packing opposing sides in the ongoing civil war in syria thats been going to need is but in recent months theyve become increasingly close to confrontation so the diplomacy of late spring trying to wind up but moscows accused of failing to abide by the us to. Not separating the extremist factions from the moderate groups political analysts use of air until this new rule that said though the joint patrols can right now help solve the problem going. 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 letter 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 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. Right now. The white house 2 states are perspiring their president ial primaries over Health Concerns george and louisiana well love to wait a further 2 months to go to the polls so the night there well see just about the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the Democratic Partys nomination its more much more low key because the covert 19 pandemic means its going to be a smaller gathering than in visitors there will be no Live Audience watching joe biden and Bernie Sanders slug it out one of the moderators is also dropped over Health Concerns the events been relocated nonetheless former Vice President biden is on a roll after clinching big wins in tuesdays primaries. All those who have been knocked down all those have been counted lets be sure this is your campaign. Just to reach you many. Cleared through the skin. Now were very much in line. One in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan the delegate rich state which rival the only son has picked up until hes 60 thats led by being presented by some media at least as the count the best placed to beat donald trump of november but its kind of reports the Democratic Party establishment split other ideas since theyve already made up their mind despite a growing number of. The race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and its pretty clear where the bets are going they are 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 that we cover that 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 bright and just as chalons 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 in 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. Thats actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts. It was actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids by the way without actually biden and if youre a lying dog faced pony soldier. 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 biden is 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 the president ial did by we dont know 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 act if he promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording trumps efforts to investigate his heating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd tom claimed that biden has 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.
