Good morning and welcome youre watching our international. Wall street suffered its 1st automatic halt in trading in more than 2 decades after stocks fell nearly 8 percent as we speak by the biggest collapse in the oil price in the ninetys before rebounding slightly as saudi arabia stepped up its price war and in the u. S. The dow plunged more than 2000 points the worst one day point drop ever prompted by Oil Price War that stunned markets around the world we have a huge market event yesterday as a lot of investors repriced all show off the crash restart markets and the 2000 point swing on the dow its the same for what happens today Business News now starting with the crude oil markets as they try to bounce back from their worst day since 1991. Or prices plunged 30 percent on whats been dubbed black monday in the biggest single day falls since the 1st iraq war was sparked by a spat between top crude suppliers riyadh and moscow who couldnt agree a deal on production. Saudi arabia says it will slash will prices to grab market share from russia with some experts branding it a dangerous scorched earth approach after opec proposed output cuts in response to falling demand you do coronavirus concerns but moscow disagreed noting that i would simply give an unfair advantage to u. S. Crude produces. Stock picks stock market dont call to is there lots of ways now to see how the russian stocks are going to be fairing with the situation. So. Just when we thought black monday was bad enough things have gotten quite worse actually the Moscow Exchange index just took a huge dive and russias entire trading its entire stock trading index fell by nearly 13 percent it all seems like the beginning of what of the economic bloodbath that experts were predicting earlier today. Our stock market may face the blood but if things dont change markets are witnessing a clear hysteria right no even taking into account russias refusal of opecs proposal. So. Now all this obviously had a very negative effect on the russian ruble which saw its biggest drop in value since 2016 but moscow promises that it has enough reserves to wait out this crisis to its conclusion but to come out in one piece on the other side now today moscow did reveal its game plan. The Russian Economy Development ministry plans to change the system of management of state Capital Investments i mean volatility on external markets a vast number of investment projects have been withdrawn from the pact of market fluctuations. And its important to remember that russia is the worlds 2nd largest producer of crude oil and it has a big stake in keeping the International Oil price stable as of now the next meeting between russia and opec is scheduled for march 18th so hopefully theyll be able to maintain the 3 year long streak of cooperation between the organization and moscow on supplying the war on supplying the world with oil and coal to would that lead up thank you. Meantime analysts have told us that saudi arabia is playing a losing game. An observer of markets could see this coming the credit bubble blowing up again this is part syria of the 2008 financial crisis you know it turns out russia has the best hair at that you know whether coal or oil game you know russias cost of energy is about 7. 00 a barrel ok saudi arabia has close to 3. 00 a barrel but russia has got no debt and theyve been buying goal meanwhile in usa and america their cost is closer to 50. 00 and this will be the complete this arrangement of the american shale industry saudi arabia and america are really that position that this International Oil kolker game and i think russia is holding 3 aces the Current Situation clearly the saudis are to blame they have taken a move to use only benefit the only potential advantage in the general strategic macchiavelli in terms is the surprise tadi arabia vastly increased production to create a huge price drop with potential for further price drops were talking something some analysts fear prices could go as low as 23. 00 a barrel which would be levels than the early ninetys and this move was solely precipitated by the saudi arabia simply because the russians did not go along with the previous proposal when in fact there was room for further negotiation what print some man wants to achieve with this remains unclear because his Oil Production increase is also compromises the saudis states ability to fulfill its welfare function and therefore to keep domestic stability. As the spread of corona virus continues to infect the markets it leaves spun due to the outbreak by banning public gatherings well the 9000 infections more than 1500 on monday alone the country is the 2nd worst affected after china labor of deaths has risen in recent days to more than 460. 00. I am about to send a decree that we can sum up with the expression stay at homes there will no longer be a red zone there will no longer be a zone one or a zone on our peninsula there will be at least at least that it is a protected zone and with the latest restrictions uprisings broke out in several jails besides demands for improved conditions prisoners have reportedly been angry about new rules that have seen a suspension of family visits this footage shows a group of inmates on the roof of the same the tory prison in milan burning items and shouting freedom the most severe of all was seen in the city of more than 0 which left 6 inmates dead in sicily the village has a some detainees gathered near a prison and cerned over a potential prisoner infection. So while this coronavirus has been raging for almost 3 months he spoke about everything except the prisoners this is unfair because in this building they dont even have that right now an ambulance has just gone in and they have no idea why one of the ministers to be prompted all this people have sentences of less than 5 years have to be treated with different measures at home. We discussed the prison protest as well as italy and europes response to the Coronavirus Crisis with the little political analyst pallor a phony he believes that these efforts have so far fallen short. Definitely in the prisoners interests but of course this is used to. Uprise with prisons and try to get the permissions to return home at least. So this is quite disturbing events measures to be increased in the prisons course meet somebody close to a child there is the possibility oh well the bottoms is there but. All this outcry see is. Largely. Just definitely. This is a bit of. Mismatch should be provisions. But on the other hand this is say that means italy is a democratic country and the right number of interests to be taken into account you have this confidence is and can intervene above the Member States but even in this case we could pass a c. E. O. Of the e. U. To intervene in this emergency as being very very. Just the sort of solidarity among states which has not been the. Top Publishing Agency which it has counseled the bug people i filmed our own to woody allen over child sex abuse allegations this is ok mr employees of the publisher walked out over the planned book woody allen has repeatedly denied the allegations against him correspondent kelly morgan picks up the story mare of the mean to it seems that Book Publishers in the United States are becoming book burners thats after hatchet decided to torch the auto biography of the u. S. Comedy icon and filmmaker woody allen this isnt cannes who mr bones book was difficult one we take our relationships with very seriously and do not cancel books lightly now hatchett has previously published a book by a serial killer they have no problem with controversial authors however after their own employees staged a walkout they caved so whats the issue at hand allegations that woody allen molested his daughter and alan has denied these allegations for decades backing this up is ronan farrow woody allen son who happens to also be a me too pioneer and a nother client of hatchet. I was disappointed to learn through press reports that hatchett my publisher acquired woody allens memoir off to other major publishers refused to do so do not function the woody allen book my sister has never been contacted to respond to any denial or mischaracterization of the abuse she suffered at the hands of. Now there have been 2 criminal investigations into woody allen and no charges have been brought against him but over the course of 2 decades he has received 8 Oscar Nominations as well as one of those prestigious gold statues well the me too movement has taken the shine off of his success now some celebrities at this point are worried that cancel culture has gone a little bit too far that your decision to drop the what do you know and book makes me very uneasy its not him i dont give a damn about mr allen its who gets muzzled next that worries me im always afraid when the mob however small and well read exercise its power without any count ability process or address the tritons me much more than the prospect of woody allen so to biography hits in the bookstores where he ellen is not the only celebrity to have recently been cancelled lets find out what new yorkers think about this new climate i wouldnt have pulled it if i was them because so many other artists have done so many other crazy things and they saw things published so there may have been a tremendous amount of pressure to be politically correct whatever that means now a days social media is definitely. A place where things to have a style get a lot of the same time those allegations can also become true questions continue to be raised about what cancel culture really means and how far it should be permitted to go up an artsy new york. Hes editor in chief Margarita Simonyan has proposed hoping to publish the filmmakers book saying that is a question of freedom of speech. Turkeys president was in brussels on monday in a bid to find a compromise to the unfolding migrant crisis at the crease to the border the visit comes amid a deepening diplomatic standoff between ankara and things that left tens of thousands stranded at the front to hear the details heres our europe correspondent peter all of. Well there was no joint press conference between the turkish european sides following this meeting it fell to the European Council president Charles Michel and the European Commission president. To meet the press she said that this meeting was a good thing essentially because it showed that there were still lines of communication open essentially one of the positives that she was taken was that turkey and the e. U. Can still sit down and discuss things even if it does seem that all they can do at the moment is agree to disagree todays discussion focused on mapping the areas in which we can work both in the e. U. s interests and in turkeys interest and indeed as you said a lot goes back to the e. U. Turkey statement of 2016 which remains valid turkeys decision to tell migrants that they wouldnt try and stop them crossing into the e. U. Has resulted in some incredibly tense scenes at the border that at times have spilled over into violence. To repeat Commission President was asked a question by a turkish journalist about the actions of greek forces at the border these turkish journalists accuse greek forces of using Excessive Force against refugees and migrants underly and said that human rights have to be respected but also so did the integrity of borders and the use of Excessive Force is completely inacceptable and any action of the authorities has to be proportionate the european border. Have to be respected and the human fundamental rights for example to the right to ask for asylum have to be respected to both go hand in hand so where does this leave us ultimately the deal that was in place is dead and the new deal hasnt been agreed to yet there may well be some negotiating about what goes into a new deal expect the turkish side to perhaps raise the issue of visa liberalization something they didnt manage to get into the 26. 00 team deal theres also talk floating around about the turkish side asking essentially for more cash how much money that would be and in what form it would ultimately be paid well that is all part of these discussions that are going to be going on as i said no deal in place at the moment these talks hopefully will lead to especially from the european side theyll be hoping that happens leading to a new deal being in place. The longest established Latino Organization in the u. S. The league of united latin american citizens has warned of significant irregularities in democratic primary voting including closed all relocated polling stations and extremely long queues independent new side the gray zone an antiwar Group Code Pink joked that if the organization of american states is so concerned about voting irregularities on the continent they should 1st monitor the u. S. Itself. The u. S. Must send an emergency Election Monitoring Team to the United States to ensure independent scrutiny of a president ial primary that has been marred by clear regularities and the systematic and highly discriminatory and struction of citizens right to vote in the United States what we actually have witnessed are major discrepancies between exit polling data in the democratic 2020 primary and the final computer count which is being conducted in a very opaque fashion weve seen in minority and poor communities people having to wait in line for 5 hours just to vote in the state of texas 750 polling places have been removed since 2012 that means there is one polling place for every 7700 people and this is particularly an acute problem in latino and africanamerican areas why are there no election monitors in the u. S. Why does the oas only send election monitors to places like bolivia d to falsely allege fraud and trigger military coups if texas or New Hampshire or South Carolina were socialist latin american countries the cia through the oas would have already installed a stick right wing government like that of janine on yesterday in bolivia in october the oas accused bolivias socialist government of irregularities and vote counting which led to have over all this is forcible removal and the military coup though a new top level u. S. Study has found no evidence of such fraud on the form of bolivian leader hes now in political assault of a knowledge and tina says that the oas stole the elections. Last year we won in the 1st round now researchers and scientists are demonstrating that there was no fraud on october 20. 3 and lets not have any fear of dictatorship brothers and sisters we are going to defeat the dictatorship with democracy with the conscience of the bolivian people. The Un Human Rights Organization has expressed concern over the prosecution of dozens of people close to the former president believe is headed by a right wing conservative government led by jenny 9 years who proclaimed herself interim president in moralities absence taylor has the story. But libya was promised peace what i got was beatings bullets and a whole lot of. Oh thank you. Once boldly waving from the balcony of the president ial palace the self appointed interim president janine anya is now high its from angry crowds who are chanting assassin killer traitor because the woman who promised peace. Assume the presidency with a midget a fact in line with the constitution and pledge to take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country has waged war on john and as politicians and on how very own people. Think. That the. Director of the state Radio Station was tired to a tree and humiliated for hours an incident that was reportedly documented by an argentine journalist Sebastiano Moro who was found unconscious in his home a day later with injuries to different parts of his body and who died 6 days later. The. Various Foreign Ministers described whole east containing their home addresses telephone Numbers Family addresses and other personal information are being circulated viral facebook and other social media. It has also been publicly reported that the lifeless bodies of several people who were killed in the mess occurred disappeared allegedly after being collected by loan for. Officers and no further information has been provided on them says shes already cracking down on the violent supporters of the previous government but either way it seems its easier to make promises of peace when you havent had a taste of power yet and to parrot lead bang is quite likes the taste because despite promising not to seek election may shes decided to throw her hat into the ring of to rule now washington must be pleased it was ofter all vocal in its support of the democratic regime change in the latin American Country but it also considers itself the leader of the free world so surely such reports of brutality would deserve at least a slap on the wrist no. Silence for as good as silence to the killings to the beatings to the tear gas a diluted lets all be well behaved and its not a one off pass either why was the indignation when hundreds of human rights activists and leftwing Community Leaders were killed in colombia or when there was a sarge and Police Killings in brazilian neighborhoods all when the honduran president was allegedly linked to drug traffickers there wasnt any or it was half hearted about best and what do they all have in common all the countries are run by right wing government tourny have nice things to say about donald trump latin america has long been washingtons playground from panama to guatemala from venezuela to grenada washington has been keen to strong arm in sympathetic leaders and it seems that once that in human rights be damned. You veterans from the commonwealth of criticize the quote grave injustice that could be deported ruling party and these are calling on the government to help form a Service Members with the complex and costly procedures to stay in the country. Its hard to imagine people more entitle to live in our islands than those who are forced to defend them we need to look hard at these cases and ensure we support those who should have been able to stay all alone this does seem wrong i hope the home office will rectify this quickly and save these former british soldiers from the trauma of Court Proceedings and further delay. On the home office rules commonwealth veterans who have served at least 4 years and you can forces can apply for indefinite leave to remain also known as settlement but many cant afford the procedures which can cost thousands of pounds and those who dont apply could be forced to leave britain the wife of a british soldier from south africa started an online petition to make a life long stay in the u. K. Free for all commonwealth veterans she shared her reaction with us. They have so sad about me in country they have fought for our queen country i mean what has been the lonely hes done 2 tours hes all streets oh and under nafta a terrorist attack dont take taxis theyre not entitled to any benefits or anything like that why we charge is such a ridiculous amount of money for them to remain in the u. K. After death dump everything thats done we lived life to children and then it was come to redundancies and i was a big worry then so i said oh ok we need to start making sure that money aside and the face just kept going up and up every year every day when they go what they risk my husband and send back the stuff thats occurred to me having to explain to my 2 Young Children if anything happened to him genuinely career i think that they need to reevaluate the costs. And you u. K. Streaming Services Warning label and old episodes of the b. B. C. Classic show dr who parks is move follows complaints that references to asian people in an episode from 1977 were racist appeared in question title the talons of wing chang as a white actor made up to play an ether using character words used in the program to describe his appearance of being branded unacceptable its really hard to watch because yellow is so on acceptable now when you are somebody who was called it in your childhood as i have been its so hard to hear that word and not feel immediately a trigger reaction of how right it is. And its an issue we put up or debate with commentator morons are a new York Observer columnist underwater. I think actually we should have access to films and videos and t. V. Programs that were made in the past even if they include content that might be deemed offensive today now the bigger problem of course is that brit box which has been launched by the b. B. C. And i. T. V. Has not been very successful and thats partly because its removed a whole swathe of programmes thats pretty people might want to watch because of one or 2 remarks that might seem off color today when on trade talks about using himself as a cultural counterpoint upon which we are to measure things im for one im getting sick and tired of having rightwing pro tory pro far right male journalists of commentators telling black people of muslims whether they should be offended or Chinese People with it should be offended a white thespian being made up in yellow face and then using offensive language which would be as a sense of his for any other cost or creed i mean we havent we just made a piece of television that actually does include a little bit of racism where most says that white males should not be allowed to comment on the its not a show or this issue that actually is a place of said i said im sick and tired of where i mentally and i feel i know how to live i place a family got to be fair and balanced about this this is Old School Comedy its a little bit out of date when you watch Something Like alf garnett to me the joke was that being a great sixties a bit ridiculous and a bit silly but at the same time you see something with Sasha Baron Cohen today and if you look at it his character bharat part of what was funny about bharat was that he had ridiculous outdated views of jewish people he was a massive fanti samite so you know caricature and racism of ridiculing it is an important part of comedy that i would stand by in terms of yeah this is you do this in david allen where this isnt this isnt about and i will as i go out. And now my goal is ace. As far as brit docs is consent like they come by this kind of publicity not really you can get this kind of coverage however you know these are outdated and we do need better systems in place so very easy to talk about the past in so negative terms but progress in the nature of progress is that people in the past will seem to be backward well they are a little bit backward compatible but i think theres no harm in being able to watch those programs anyway camp about with updates on the top stories for you in half an hours time. When else should seem wrong. Why dont we all just dont call. Me. Yet to seep out these days become active. And engaged me because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Time after time called parishioners repeat the same mantra sustainability very important. Transitions to sustainable prize board sustainability spain over man not a more equitable and sustainable world. They claim their production is completely harmless followed this need to. Look. Into compass number articles and it builds on the Prison Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something all this must be done even and i need much. Since i moved in this new me didnt anyone and im stymied seem to be based on that understood look forward to going in.
