Use the existing mechanism set up during the eurozone crisis with no Strings Attached as well as some promote the needy dont to me i would just like to point out something obvious the european stability mechanism was created to deal with a crisis and what are we facing now a crisis which is serious and profound the spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has warned that e. U.

But. Its about tightening up very liberal Foreign Trade laws which permit takeovers from Foreign Investors in a generous way this is in light of the significant German Security interests which for me include supplying the public with vital goods such as vaccines and critical infrastructure. Of course coronavirus is already hitting hard germanys look townsend has announced it will shut down its low cost airline german ways as part of a broader overhaul warning it could take years for the industry to recover across europe amid all the young certainty of moments of hope like this neighborhood in seville welcoming home a recovered College Going to asia.

And more than half the global population could be living in poverty in the aftermath of the pandemic the Charity Oxfam is warning that half a 1000000000 more people will be pushed below the poverty line and that could set back the fight against poverty for up to 30 years in africa and the middle east the report recommends that g 20 finance Ministers International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Help bail out developing countries all obrien is the Vice President for policy and advocacy at Oxfam America is edging rich nations to also step up and support countries in the. Were going to need new solutions because weve never faced this kind of crisis that is coming out us in so many ways and theres a real opportunity for leadership next week as the ministers of finance from around the world gather for a Virtual Meeting the g. 20 in particular has a real role to play there we think the solution next week can come in 3 forms they can agree to cancel the debts of developing countries this year the payments on those debts that would give them a trillion dollars so if youre sitting in ghana right now and those debts were forgiven they would have the ability to give 20. 00 a month to the 16000000 kids who are in down or seconds we need to create some kind of International Reserve what the i. M. F. Call special drawing rights giving countries the right to draw down resources from the i. M. F. The pending on their contributions from the past pretty opiah that would mean if we get a trillion dollars in special drawing rights it would mean for 630000000. 00 that would be a 45. 00 bump or 45 percent bump for their Health Health care expenditures and then finally we need more 8 we need to scale up our thinking and our imagination and the numbers are a we think its going to be at least half a trillion dollars in a 500000000000. 00 in aid we think just 160000000. 00 of that which by the way is less than the well to the 2 richest americans 160000000000. 00 and they could double the expenditures on health of the 85. 00 poorest countries so its doable if we have the political will and thats what well be looking for next week. Now the news u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders has ended his bed to be the democratic partys president ial nominee ever marked senators accept clears the way for former Vice President joe biden to become the partys nominee sanders told his supporters the coronavirus pandemic was a factor in his decision. I know that there may be some in our movement who disagree with this decision who would like us the fight on for the last ballot tears at the Democratic Convention i understand your position but as i see the crisis gripping malaysian exacerbated by a president unwilling or unable to provide any calling of credible leadership and the work that needs to be done to protect people in this most desperate hour i cannot in good conscience continue about a campaign they cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour aljazeera sound fresh as in washington he says Bernie Sanders decision is no surprise. Hes really been politically dead man walking the same since super tuesday that was really when Bernie Sanders lost momentum you remember that joe biden didnt do well in the 1st 3 contests in the caucuses in the primaries but then he came back from the political dead in South Carolina after that he immediately got the endorsement from people who to judge from the club are sure that was significant and important for him and he did very well on super tuesday it made things very very difficult for Bernie Sanders but when he talks about how he has moved the political debate in the United States theres no dont over the last 4 years hes done exactly that people are not talking about providing some sort of universal health care in the United States they are talking about Free State College for people in the United States hes taught they are talking about income equality because of the issues the Bernie Sanders has raised now Bernie Sanders did not give an endorsement to joe biden thats not surprising because you dont give away all your cards at the table he wants to make sure that a lot of the ideas a lot of the things that hes been talking about or form the platform of the Democratic Convention and also the democratic election platform as they move in to the president ial campaign. Now i see corona virus spreads across the u. S. Is a growing Movement Towards mail in voting ahead of novembers president ial election but as john hendren reports not everyone supports the idea. After a chaotic and dangerous day at the polls in wisconsin there is a growing call for a virus proof november election since it will probably be moving to both find mail she wants that provision in the next stimulus bill. This is the scene few want to see again wisconsin voters on tuesday gathering by the thousands to cast their ballots during a deadly Global Pandemic all belief by saying they let alone being out here about a man and being afraid to take on the fight. With only 5 of 180. 00 milwaukee polling stations able to open many was cons and voters including a nurse just off for shift did not get to the front of the serpentina lines to cast their ballots at all. I must say yeah but i wish i had been absentee ballot as that but i didnt know it was going to be obvious yet now across the us Many Democrats are calling for standardized mail in balloting zone nothing like wisconsins election which critics call irresponsible and undemocratic ever happens again mail ballots early balloting if in fact it turns out in places around the country they decide you cant do in person voting this is something we should be planning for now so that if its needed were ready to go in november but the move has some high profile republican critics the president of the United States among them bill bell its a very dangerous thing for this country because the cheaters trump who himself voted by mail in florida last month added on twitter it doesnt work out well for republicans. Most americans want their government to require mail in ballot in the november 3rd president ial election with america. In much of the world confined to their homes a Reuters Ipsos poll released this week found 79 percent of democrats and 65 percent of republicans agree with the idea. With a Republican Controlled Senate behind him the president might succeed in blocking an expansion of mail in voting that leaves the potential that if the coronavirus lingers or surges again in november the chaos of wisconsin. Could play out across the u. S. John hendren aljazeera chicago. At the world headlines now in the uns chemical weapons watchdog has blamed the Syrian Government for a series of deadly sarin and lauren gas attacks against civilians in 2017 diplomatic. This saga of the use of chemical weapons in syria has been long and horrific but now finally the results of a technical investigation that finds the assad regime responsible the inquiry by the International Chemical weapons body the o. P. C. W finds that to mena in hamma governorates was attacked 3 times in march 27th seen over a week long period twice the Syrian Air Force used bombs containing sarin this is the aftermath of the other occasion patients being treated for breathing difficulties after an improvised barrel bomb containing chlorine was dropped from the syrian helicopter into the hospital in the town. The report will be delivered to the u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorists so after such clear findings is he now prepared to directly condemn the Assad Government that secretary general his position is unchanged that any it is. Intolerable that anyone anywhere is going to get weapons and impunity for use of the. Equally an example and its imperative to identify and hold those accountable who are used. d chemical weapons dont you say its intolerable for anyone to do this but the o. P. C. Sublease says that the Assad Government did it will you not condemn the assam got such a government and why are you playing this lane game of not taking sides trying to be equal to both sides arent you leaving one very important side out of this and thats the Syrian People who have been gassed and over the last 50 years by the assad regime have been executed and talked shit i think we are on the front lines with the Syrian People we have been our humanitarian colleagues have been there throughout throughout this conflict trying to support the Syrian People in their daily lives so why is the u. N. Pulling its punches well the answer is russia syrias closest ally and thats why youre unlikely to see any accountability for the attacks in the syrup or the u. N. Security council has tried to refer syria to be International Criminal court of the past but russia a puppet of a member has used its feet oh james is aljazeera at the United Nations. Well again im fully back to where the headlines on aljazeera despite calls on the World Health Organization to stop and let us eyes in the car have eyes pandemic a u. S.
