With both tomorrow prior to that. Insulted me many times on social media. You were he announced that they were actually trying to imprison. Youre watching are to International Coming to you straight from the russian capital lets get started with your live news update we begin with the latest figures on kobe and 19 the Global Pandemic is still raging with almost 2900000 cases now confirmed more than 823000 people have recovered but the number of fatalities has surpassed 200000. South africa has put thousands of soldiers on standby amid rising attacks on food delivery trucks the country is one of a number around the world suffering from increasing looting and theft as the coronavirus lockdown takes its toll arches all quarter reports. For nearly 5 weeks south africans have been living under one of the strictest lockdowns in the world tensions are boiling point and thousands of soldiers have been put on standby. Was. God. Riots are already sweeping across the country because of frustration with the lockdown and Food Shortages that have resulted from the equation is simple if people cannot get food there is every likelihood of violent conflict including widespread looting to get food on peoples tables because president announced a 26000000000 dollar relief package on wednesday but packages with that much money involved dont really kicking over night until it does the governments deployed thousands of soldiers to help medical workers and police. Work i. Think its a combination of panic around food availability there are many people whove survived from from month to month. Or on no work no pay scenarios from criminal elements within gangs in the area organizing and instigating those riots and attacks on trucks so there is a criminal component to this as well which is understandable to some extent because with the lock down many criminals are not able to make income or money out of the way they used to policing resources in south africa are different Clear Channel challenge and of course the military is deployed currently to assist in the enforcement of the lockdown regulations but i dont think that the military as well trained to handle civilians its never a good idea to mix military with civilians and our. Spearing fits of with that of in this countrys history has never been good and in recent times also not. But i think what the president is largely aiming at is not for the military to do policing work but largely for the military to start putting more pressure on high Risk Communities to comply with the lockdown in nigeria its a similar story millions who relied on day to day wages to survive are running out of food under the lockdown its led to banditry looting and many have organized vigilante groups to defend their communities although. Look out there if everybody is out sight lets not be made if you know food that you know if you have food. Lets not forget about that as well washington hasnt lifted its sanctions on the country and with the pandemic high prices and Food Shortages are destroying the economy across the country clashes between the police and looters have been running rampant. Was going to be out. With millions more ending up on employed week by week the coronavirus has turned peoples lives upside down in the developed world in countries that have significant hardships to begin with the impact is that much more severe the history of the planet just papered with food riots where and in a lack of access to food as topple governments nobody must be blind to the fact that when you touch somebodys stomach or you deprive them of food your great and extremely volatile situation for them and a lack of income in south africa is doing that thats why the government has been encouraged to step down. The lockdown as a rapidly as possible was not making it on site so a smart step down off the lockdown so that key portions of the economy can get back to work and peoples income can stabilize. Germany says its the 1st Major Football League ready to restart a season cut short by the kobe 1000. 00 pandemic thats where its executives and the final decision that must come from the government as artist p. R. Explains the German Club Hertha Berlin should be playing host Eintracht Frankfurt here at the Olympic Stadium this saturday berths but honestly like all top european leagues has been suspended due to the coronavirus but while other nations a bombing in are in over whether this season will resume at all the head of germanys top league says they could be good to go just a couple of weeks before us of the one and only decisive factor remains the decisions of the Political Authority and therefore it is not down to us to set a start date for the bundesliga last time i said we will be ready when the day exams and in case the federal government decides to do this day would be made the 9th then we would be ready only the 9 days the lifting of restrictions has become a political football in its own right here in germany while the chancellor wants to take things slowly her own Health Minister as well as the leaders of some of germanys biggest states think that bringing back the bond as leader could be the lift the people need right now others are far less convinced. We would allow players who are said to have been tested the kind of contact that we forbid citizens who get fined for it if the people they can tack with get infected they arent to be quarantined thats the opposite of would we demand by the yeah for citizens no one piece should be responsible for this. Then there is how the matches would actually take place certainly theres no plans to allow funds into the stadiums should the season resume here in germany what there is though is a document thats been written by the ministry of labor here its been seen by the german press and it suggests that play is under fisher should be Wearing Masks that there should be no contact between players and that there should be pauses around every 15 minutes to allow masks to be either adjusted or replaced that isnt going to wash with clubs or the league the premise was everything remains unchanged on the peach in my opinion if players were to play with masks on that would be an acceptable when the season was stopped in march by munich with top and 4 points clear of rivals dortmund with leipzig a point behind them with just 9 much is left to play the reason behind the push to get the season finished may have less to do with glory for players and fans and more to do with finances europes top 5 leagues could be set to lose a whopping 4000000000 euro because of covert 19 according to Consultancy Firm k. P. N. G with the English Premier League hit the hardest followed by league or in spain and the bundesliga then theres the issue of player readiness no one expected this inforced break and its prompted play is staff and everyone connected with the game not only have to find ways to keep themselves occupied but also much if it were a group of friends through the 1st for the 1st stimulus and not just for this is being taken some of the distribution of the stadium so that it can reach those most in need to me should football in germany get the go ahead to restart behind closed doors expect leagues in england spain italy and france to be asking when they can kick. Again as well these are all of our artsy berlin. From the war against corona virus to a war of words the former Us Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley has launched a petition to Congress Calling on lawmakers to take 5 steps against chinas actions in the crisis who launched a petition to congress to investigate communist chinese governments role in the 1900 break hold the spread of chinas influence bring critical supply medical and of g. Back to the u. S. And push back against chinese billing over taiwan haley created a website stop communist china dot com where she posted the petition numerous u. S. Officials have also demanded access to chinese labs where they claim the originated but beijing says washington is just trying to deflect attention from its own significant mistakes. Any objective person will see that some u. S. Politicians have been peddling lines that discredit chinas anti epidemic efforts to funnel peoples minds and deflect attention from the fact that the show sure to fulfilling their own anti epidemic responsibilities chinese denied access to it only to the world but to the way markets to all the places that one would need to go to identify the original source for this virus. This month donald trump said he was investigating whether the deadly virus was male made in a lab in the chinese city of will he provided no evidence to support his theory but china isnt the only one being blamed by the u.

O. Funding something met with regret by the organizations director general who called for unity against the pen victor gao director of the China National association of International Studies believes the American Government should shift attention to whats happening inside its own country. In order to really trace the real origin of the Coronavirus International Community Need to do Scientific Research and study as to how this really developed rather then resulting to single handed one sided of one country versus another and i think its much better to leave this to the scientists and that are all exists in the world rather them politicize this situation the United States is now the largest it has the largest the number of deaths and infections and i think the u. S. Government officials can better serve the American People by focusing on the fight against the coronavirus rather them play me anyone else china has all or Speaker Pelosi for example.

So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy for him to let it be an arms race in his office and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back r. T. Host and former ecuadorian president Rafael Correa has spoken to journalist Glenn Greenwald who helped to expose numerous u. S. And u. K. Surveillance programs he is now being threatened by the brazilian government over his work using a similar scheme to the one washington deployed against whistleblower join the sons welcome will be the cause if you would as a journalist and especially because of the amount of time you spend in brazil as your husband and 2 children of them who have been threatened many times have you brazil has spent an entire decade decades of career of his career crazing the military dictatorship. Advocating against press freedoms and once we began our reporting here in brazil last year in june that expose corruption on the part of. Boston are those now Justice Minister who at the time of our when we 2 the events that we reported was the judge overseeing the carwash Anti Corruption probe very serious started to be made by the government and i had already had conflicts of boston r. O. Prior to that he had insulted me many times on social media in january and now and that they were actually indicting me and trying to imprison me for the reporting that i did with my sources for the moment that case has been thrown out of court but the government is appealing and trying to. Reinstate the indictment being released from prison journalism is the profession of life and death which is the price of truth and of course were talking about the world famous julian asuncion who do you think about his case even the Obama Administration had decided that they couldnt. Prosecute. Without also prosecuting the New York Times in the guardian and. Newspapers around the world that publish the same material at a you Public Prosecutor did not prosecute journalists everywhere but they come to ministers and didnt care about that so they just kind of created a theory that said that. Worked with his source tells the manning to do more than just receive information that he actually tried to help her. Getting caught which is very similar to the theory the balls in our government is trying to use against me because theyre copying that model its in and the reality is journalists along with the world to help their source is not. And what theyre now trying to do is turn that into a crime by saying that if you work with your source to keep your source a you become part of the criminal conspiracy. Social distancing measures aimed at minimizing the spread of coronavirus are in force across the world but while some question whether 2 meters is even enough one canadian artist has invented a device showing its hard to comply with that rule at all Daniel Ross Dane posted a video on twitter calling for the closure of major roads he thinks they should be given over to pedestrians as patrons just arent wide enough meanwhile canada has now registered more than 43000 infections how the 2000 people have died we spoke to daniel who told us more about his idea of improving city guidelines and the locked out. My critique is about how we are treating the people who arent necessarily going to the hospital but are forced to navigate the city and there and its really unsafe right now and i think that theres so few cars already and because there are so few cars that actually has encouraged people who do drive to drive faster so the advice from the city and the mayor has been just step into this. If you need to avoid somebody step into the street and i can do that fine im an able bodied man you know its ok for me but were asking Vulnerable People to step into the live traffic to avoid each other so they can navigate safely im not saying close the street entirely but a lot of cities youve seen them extending the sidewalk one lane on each side and that just gives enough breathing room and then theres still enough room for cars to move around and i do know that the authorities got got the message.

The derivatives became so huge in size over a quadrillion they wore the size of the actual stuff to the point where the stuff is meaningless it only did derivatives matter and so the bets on the derivatives now are increasing so as derivatives on top of derivatives and this is how you get to a place of negative prices on toile because when you trade Oil Derivatives youre not trading oil youre trading purely on the direction of a price based on a derivative thats based on another derivative or there is no underlying what.
