Stocks plunged on thursday to the lowest in decades the Federal Reserve moved to pump in emergency loans to ease the strain as investors fled over the impact of the coronavirus demick the benchmark Dow Jones Industrial average fell 10 percent in a single day marking the biggest decline since black monday with a way back in 1907 other major american in dixies also closed significantly lower donald trump gave a wrong Oval Office Address to the nation but failed to calm investors nubs about the economic damage kovac 19 is 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 todays boom bust gathers expert analysis to try and map out why the stock market rollercoaster is heading as well as covert 19 another factor of course up play is or oil which is seeing a price drop out on supply side. 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 really grim 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 and if you could do something wrong the government authorities to get on it for sure and the feds are going to help congress is going to help but the point from jeff jeff again. You know let me make a point im not talking 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 did your 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 transatlantic travelers are being dealt a blow off to donald trump announced a ban on travel from europe which takes effect this friday america has found from stock reports from Reagan International apple in washington d. C. Well saying that airports across europe are having a pretty busy day today is an understatement as american citizens are scrambling to get back before that countdown ends at midnight friday evening where that travel ban is going to go in place you have americans trying to get home you also have some europeans that had scheduled vacations in the United States that are either trying to reschedule those vacations or canceling them altogether as the president said this on wednesday evening take a listen Older Americans should also avoid nonessential travel in crowded areas and my administration is coordinating directly with communities with largest outbreaks and we have to shoot in School Closures social distancing and reducing large gatherings. Made that announcement just hours after the World Health Organization declared kovan 19 a pandemic again that travel ban goes into effect midnight friday and all flights from europe will be canceled except for the United Kingdom and ireland now Homeland Security officials did later clarify that the new restrictions would apply only to the most foreign nationals who have been in europes passport free travel zone at any point for 14 days prior to their arrival in the United States now following the announcement the European Union actually lashed out at President Trump saying that the illness does not respect borders now again that travel ban goes into effect friday at midnight on airlines are really trying to help and working diligently to get those americans home before that deadline but they are telling passengers as corny as it sounds to pack your patience. And it seems public figures arent immune to the risks of coronavirus canadas Prime Minister itself isolated in fact for 14 days thats off to his wife tested positive for cope at 19 following a trip to the u. K. Around the wild more than 100000 infections have now been registered its now a fish and meat being declared a pandemic on governments all crompton down on people mixing and popular. Schools and what places of being shot on may just fixed was postponed in many nations but with anxiety spreading just as boss the coronavirus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous shot a dupe and steve reports 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 a to make a quick buck now were all well aware that the 1st line of defense against the virus is told watch on her and when youre out in about touching everything from. 200. 00 to picking up things in shops its a bit difficult to run into a both room and just 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 ringing this morning we had the schools the town hall the Public Transport Company everybody was joe we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of one gel 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 hydraulic hold a job 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 marina and 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 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 d. s 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 antivirus 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. Remember to kiss well not physically as weve been told not to be in this search but the acronyms keep it simple stupid and dont get Cold Shoulder to ski arty paris well lets just stick with the crate of our story for a bit longer because the crisis is posing unique difficulties for one of greeces smaller outlying islands one case has now been registered on less box which is host to a densely packed refugee camp where more than 20000 to living and often dire conditions evangelos it says has been speaking to some of the islanders the. 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 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 could 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 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 big leap virus on the island and you always 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 this cow for many many years now they have a different opinion displaced slightly placed. A lot of people here and 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 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. Well another thing. To all of this is that Tech Companies have been looking to step up with a role in halting the spread of covert 19 various apps have been developed to highlight the increasing risks but critics say the expense of users privacy here are a couple of examples one application os feel postal code but even goes as far as asking about personal hygiene including how often you wash your hands others get people to publish the virus like symptoms and from this state a map is created showing suppose that high risk areas of infection and use of personal data could fall of the lol companies in the e. U. A facing a number of obstacles to take tough action against the pandemic saucily it is illegal to use location data in any way to track someone who is sick and poor is also cant just take random temperature readings of best off and have their hands tied in gathering of the data unless medical professionals are involved in the process while weve been discussing whether the data privacy can take a back seat when it comes to exploiting tech to tackle the pandemic. If ups can be made to work in that way where data is anonymised and we can have a service that provides some form of utility to the general population then there is real potential here to to provide a service that would be absolutely necessary in this kind of occasion if people are worried about being surveyed by the state and thats too late the state is surveying everybody and so are private corporations embedded in the state so we take a really security 1st approach that theres no reason why you cant keep the data secure and theres no reason why you cant abide by g. D. P. Our dispose of the date data once the virus is over it is potentially a very a useful tool for dealing with a pandemic like this because weve got all of this Communications Infrastructure which was not liking during the black death for example which was allow us to act collectively to protect ourselves its all a bit hurried we dont have a single focus on a single up we dont actually have the permissions structure were not able to identify accurately the people who we actually need to track and actually some of the security in the privacy provisions havent been put in and minded about and if were going to rush this then the chance of it being secure and everything working accurately is very unlikely to be a sufficient we do need laws to protect the citizens but the laws us to be russians are realistic and in the situation like this if you can you could just basically people are being asked to volunteer information about where theyve been and what theyve done unless should be any problem in offering the phone to you know legitimate medical personnel so that they can use it to help them fight this crisis. In other news age has ordered Us Army WhistleblowerChelsea Manning to be released from jail ruling that had detention no longer serves any purpose just to remind to manning had attempted to kill herself on 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 in force ment of the accrued conditional fines would not be punitive but rather necessary to the course of purpose of the courts civil contempt order money say is still recovering in hospital its unclear why the money wont be jailed again if she fails to pay the fine she has been in prison since may for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury we spoke with her lawyer and activist kevin feige who believes the Legal Process used against running is fundamentally unfair here and 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 jurors no defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story thats what manning is protesting really signals where the trouble illustration is going when it comes to Julian Assange and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against Julian Assange 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.
