From the Economic Policy institute says there will be little control over how corporations use the money in the financial package at the Senate Earlier this week. Certainly large is the largest spending bill thats ever been passed by the u. S. Senate and we expect to be to be passed by the house and signed by the president tomorrow. But is just a downpayment Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said this is just a relief bill its not even a stimulus so there is much more thats going to remain to be done to. Repair the damage thats going to be done to the economy about half of the money will go to workers either directly or indirectly including through loans to Small Businesses that will it can be used only to retain workers and socalled work sharing arrangements where workers would be furloughed and they kept them on the payroll they get their wages thats a very good measure but there is about 500000000000. 00 its going to go to bail out to corporations and there are very few controls very we controls on a spending and it could just go to boost stock prices or raise executive compensation so about a quarter of the package i think is.

S. For the outbreak china is banning most foreigners from entering as it tries to prevent a 2nd wave of infections training here has the latest from beijing. According to state media president xi jinping said that he was very willing to share information and share their external experience of china in fighting this pandemic he also said that over the last few months china has been responsibly dealing with the outbreak being transparent and also cooperating with International Bodies such as the World Health Organization do you so you do get a sense that she dipping is a bit on the defensive and this comes after weeks of being of there being a war of words between the china and the u. S. With u. S. President trump himself calling the coronavirus the chinese virus and with american politicians calling it the war han virus which very much infuriated china and china in turn as you mention many chinese diplomats taking to twitter in particular to blame the u. S. Military for perhaps bringing covert 19 to china at the end of last year so we did see at some point really it seems like the u. S. And china had hit rock bottom in terms of the diplomatic relationship so according to the Trump Administration it was president xi who sought out this phone call and he was calling on trying to help improve ties between the 2 countries president xi jinping also said that Many Chinese Companies are doing what they can to help the u. S. By sending medical supplies that are much needed and also interestingly president xi jinping cold on President Trump to help to protect chinese citizens and students who are in the u. S.

The military will be helping make sure that this is in full swing these passengers do stay in these hotels and other facilities theyll also still be getting the temperatures checked it at airports and also filling out forms to say yes we will abide these rules and so fossilised there are around 3000 people infected by corona virus in a struggle year and while the right of infection isnt as fast as other countries will have been concerned about that right escalating over the past week this is off to a cruise ship docked in sydney and thousands of about 1700 people did more than 100 of those people were infected but in a strangely a many people are just as concerned about the economy as they are about these viruses all week we have seen tens of thousands of people now job list lining up at Welfare Centers wondering what theyll do next so at the moment well have to see if there will be more restrictions but the government especially in New South Wales has said if these numbers rise we will see tighter restrictions and social isolation measures.
