Democratic Party President ial primaries we look at how the establishment favorite appears to be the chosen one despite a growing number of. Very good morning to you thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. First this hour the car of a top anti immigrant politician has been destroyed in an arson attack the vehicle of nick last chair of the alternative for germany parties berlijn wing was set on fire in the capital of the growing violence against lawmakers across the country with beatings house attacks and even murders occurring over there peter all of it has details. This street is the scene of what is potentially the latest in a growing number of politically motivated crimes in germany this time its all the car the politician nicholas faced go up in flames last night a car caught fire in charlotte and borke the firefighters extinguished the blaze but could not save the car because of the suspicion of a possible political motivation were handing the investigation over to a specialist unit faced as a member of the European Parliament for the anti immigration alternative that Germany Party hes pretty adamant of who he thinks is behind this. Neither the air of day nor i would back down in the face of left wing radical violence the other party should end their own object to smear campaigns against the f d a f t is a polity have a polarizing effect on german Public Opinion their anti immigrant stance and deliberately provocative statements from so members to seeing them rising in the polls and slammed by their rivals party which tolerates far right extremists and lets call a spade a spade its not since m. On its ranks. The a. F. D. Is a racist and nationalist a military spotty. Party which is openly nationalist they are against foreigners and they have members who are close to being fascists the cochairman of a day even it paled to all journalists and politicians to tone down their rhetoric against the policy after a rise in the number of violent incidents. Its not just politicians from controversial policies that are facing up to the prospect of attack in germany 2019 so well over a 1000 politically motivated attacks on politicians with a recent poll of as in the country saying a large number of them had insulted us all to us all simply threatened with quite a few saying they being beaten or spots us in 25th. The independent mayor of cologne henrietta reckons narrowly survived an assassination attempt by is then a phobic extremist who stabs her in the neck the day before the election the attack was motivated by rick is pro refugee stance last june senior politician of all to live was shot dead at his home in central germany a far right nationalist with possible links to a. F. P. Is facing trial for his murder the government has called for an increase in security for politicians serving the public who are increasingly finding themselves in the line of fire. Alice Stephen Meissner thinks that the politically motivated violence comes from the divisive rhetoric. Its a symptom of a political split going rate through the Country One School half is going to the left and the other half is is going to the right result of the increasing extremism of politics in both directions i mean there are attacks against other parties but not with this kind of intensity as it is against the f. T. They are actually a victim of their Political Violence largest degree i dont see really any other Party Members getting beaten up with long heavy wooden boards and such as what happened last year with the fellow in hamburg would be more important to try to respect each others positions and try that the left and right a little bit close together so that they can start to communicate and agree to some sort of basic rules of conduct so that. The political discourse doesnt become violent and ugly and. Doesnt become necessary to have security in the 1st place i mean that would be the way to go as a return to a more civilized discourse. Scientists from a London Laboratory are calling for volunteers to be infected with corona virus for money they say that it will be the worlds 1st coronavirus test conducted on humans we can announce that we have commenced the development of the worlds 1st commercial human coronavirus challenge study model also known as a controlled human infection we are pleased to be able to try and assist in the battle against covert 19 the study will infect 24 people with 2 strains of corona virus similar to 19 but calls milder symptoms as scientists try to develop a vaccine against the outbreak volunteers will be paid as much as 3 and a half 1000 pounds the visits from doctors will break up 2 weeks in isolation we asked people around london whether they would agree to such a study. The make it full no alcohol and if i was younger. But im one of those so dont you one second to kick the bucket. You know say i have to look for months i really need some money. Wow. I dont know then 1000. Too much. Corn to my so i mean i wont die from it but i hope im not even tightly confines to the statistics behind it is true anyway so why not get infected twice to get twice as much at the age of 71. Now because i have hundreds of high Health Conditions why would i if you have no. Real thing seriously tell you to kiss now seriously now. I mean you know if you know people say doctors hes pushing people theres going to be change that stupid i think if youre healthy and. It would be a danger to people here i would be we got children then we have to think. Were safe house for my son whos much younger. I think at the beginning i thought people were over i think something on the stand like how serious it was but when i heard like schools were being closed on that last how many people Cost Effective thats when i realized ok this is actually serious i decided so my fitness scaremongering people for most people to sentence are more like flu until yesterday i was thinking people who are over reacting today im starting to realize that ive got to take it like seriously of course you have to like. Be taken care of it in like wash your hands and stuff but otherwise i feel its. Yeah its just too much i dont know. We asked viral it just to mohammed when the weather voluntary infection tests could help develop a vaccine. And the vaccine or drug that it is recommended by would be special and in the order to eat locally have to be tested 1st time around them all and i mean it would demonstrate that they are safe sort of coronaviruses they dont claim to be tested in airing in volunteers the r. G. B. Close to the 19th so this means that this vaccine if it is successful it would have no protection against the anything that is tested in a volunteer that somebody raised however based on the Animal Studies the overall risk would be minimal and the hope is that but if their state policy is reasonable that this vaccine would be deployed in the next which is a broad scale testing me just face to. The mayor of the worlds cannabis capital is mulling a ban on tourists for its most popular attraction marijuana shiela do but ski reports from amsterdam. The dutch are often hailed as being progressive particular when it comes to soft drugs now amsterdam is a hot spot for kind of base 2 or ists with significant numbers coming here to try the drug vending coffee shops as a tourist coming to the city what do you think this city is famous for the coffee shops. I think for most tourists its like well known things like. We dont stuff like that wait wait its hash. More than 17000000. 00 visits every year putting a huge strain on the city of around a 1000000 people the situation is so bad that the mayor of amsterdam is actually considering banning tourists from buying kernis this briefing from the highlights the issues it says 65 percent of Foreign Tourists come to sudan to use cannabis and visit the coffee shops and almost hof would be less likely to visit again if bart if the mayor bans it what sort of impact do you think that will have will they come up with a not come from the people still call me as often as many people now its one of the main reasons people do people who come will enjoy their time a little less so maybe they wont come back everybody is common here for the coffee shops if the murder is going to stop the coffee shops juries would stop coming to amsterdam but the survey also showed a more worrying impact the to ban could have some 40 percent of respondents said that if they were put britain they would find another way to buy the drug this should be perhaps a major concern for a city that is already struggling to deal with the darker side of the drug industry and crowing a recent report called attention to the citys problems with hard drugs Violent Crime and human. Trafficking based on sewage research cocaine consumption must represent a turnover value of at least 75000000. 00 euros but there are limitations to that research subversive crime can take many forms such as Human Trafficking and labor exploitation environmental crime arms trafficking illegal gambling and Health Care Fraud its believed amsterdams coffee shops are aiding and abetting the ugliest side of the citys drug business now there are allegations that the coffee shops and sells deal back door with organized crime gangs and some being used to launder criminal money that has cooled for a crackdown cleese oppression of mockers between hard drugs and some drugs has a greater urgency because of the trade in hard drugs while many cities around the world looking to coffee this dutch citys toller and model im so damn itself may move away from its long standing policy questioning whether the experiment has only contributed to drug and crime problems so lets even ski out c. In amsterdam. Politics now former us Vice President joe biden clint some big wins in the latest round of primaries for the democratic Party President ial nomination. All those who have been knocked down all those have been counted lets be frank this is your campaign. Just over a week ago many of the pundits declared that this candidacy is dead. Now were very much alive. Winning in the big east to delegate rich states of mississippi michigan missouri 3 of which closest rival Bernie Sanders one in 2016 biden is on the path to win his policies nomination hes widely presented as the only candidate able to take the novembers election but its not hes kind of open explains his contact might not hold up alone. The race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and its pretty clear where the bets are going there on joe biden the good guy its time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me that joe biden is the right person to do that hes the nicest person ive ever met he is just a good guy and why not have a good guy in the white house after all for the past 3 years the media has been working very hard to convince everyone that pure evil has overtaken the u. S. Presidency but it doesnt take very deep digging to discover that you can rub off joe bidens good guy shine take a look at how he insulted Detroit Assembly plant worker who questioned his views on gun rights. He also has hinted that he believes that race and intellectual ability are somehow connected poor kids are just as brady just as towns white kids on top of that he is known to just make things up and say things on the fly that have absolutely no connection to reality we choose unity over division we choose science over fiction we choose truth over facts and a lot of ways joe biden sounds an awful lot like donald trump lets see if americans can tell them apart i bet youre as bright as you are good looking. Its actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts. And actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids by the. Ones actually biden and youre a lying dog faced pony soldier. Its got to be trumped and actually biden also the narrative is supposed to be that donald trump is a big mean bully and joe biden is a lovable adorable grandpa with good intentions and hes supposed to be way better than that wild eyed radical Bernie Sanders except dont you remember how recently everyone was bashing joe biden i just think biden is declining i dont think he has the energy and he has been a skilled debater we saw him with sarah palin weve seen him in the past the question is does he still have his job and astronomy and is he how sure are busy can you imagine that man in a president ial did by we dont trump theres not enough popcorn in the world to do is how subtly biden inserts obama into every possible answer having significant mental faculties issues is everyone ok with biden being president of the United States when hes having difficulty remembering the name of you know politicians that hed be dealing with on a regular basis but now we are told that opposition to joe biden is a russian plot the kremlins english language media aim to influence americans on the home tough act if he promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden one lording trumps efforts to investigate his heating political opponent predicted detroit will win a 2nd tom claimed that biden has to be unraveling on some eyes that allegations of corruption are doing real damage to his president ial bid now the race is getting heated as the field has narrowed so the question is now will joe biden be able to keep that good guy image when its time to start taking shots at Bernie Sanders. R. T. New york. We spoke to lawyer and former politician money hasa who told us that success might not be as spontaneous as it seems. In the beginning of this whole race i mean biden was coming forth then you know you know the Democratic Party says everybody youre going to do this everybody elevates the Corporate Media also starts to say all this negative noise about perry i think whats happening now is very interesting this is usually what the Democratic Party does is they pick their annoying to whine and they do everything to rig the entire environment theyre annoyed to candidate gets all the support and looks like theyre sort of a white horse thats coming to save the American People you see this kind of work is treated they wear clothes. Bloomberg everybody kinds of everybody falls in line to support biden whos kind of the chosen one i think when you when you have so much of that knowing its its very hard for the American Public to kind of see through that. So the arabia is escalating the oil war again right after cutting the crude price to its lowest since the ninetys riyadh has now announced boosting supplies to record highs moscow has reportedly suggested talks with the kingdom to ease the crisis but riyadh has allegedly rebuffed russias call they spent between 2 of the worlds top crude suppliers has also seen 30 rabia saying that it will slash prices to grab market share from moscow with some experts branding it a dangerous scorched earth approach as they have looked at what could happen next. 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could go wrong went wrong subject that has dominated the news all week. The coronavirus spreading fears grow of a Global Pandemic a huge spike in she says 3 prices down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched and oil price markets are getting punched in the face the dow collapsing around 300. 00 points today its worst single day loss have a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isnt so bad i mean cheaper fuel truck seems to think its good. Good for the consumer gasoline prices coming down so heres my question whats the point of cheap fuel when you cant drive or fly anywhere because of an epidemic because of corn team alines are clearly not going to stock up on kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience less demand as traveling goes down that is going to be one of the factors that will likely keep b. Or cries depressed now you are starting to get my we the whole world is facing catastrophe it isnt just one problem its many and they feed each other they multiply each other 1st the airlines suffer fuels cheap but no ones flying anywhere no one travels tourism collapses meaning millions of people lose income if millions stop making money they stop buying stuff so the factories shut down meaning more people lose jobs and so on of course we have the impact of the crisis which is made by the corona virus spreading around europe italy we have just seen it and then of course the. Situation with oil which is a bit complicated and so far ive never seen anything like this it ive been back to it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now we get to the crux of it think a little trip back to 2008 he is a graph showing the u. S. Debt market in 20082 trillion it collapsed because bankers high on greed gave out loons to people to buy houses that they couldnt afford we hoped at least that they had learned their lesson. Watch what they did next since then theyve loaned out 3 and a half times as much the us Shale Industries theyre now selling oil cheaper than it cost them to produce the airlines with no passengers the hotels with no guests the businesses with no clients in 2008 the worlds economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed their house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have heard the 1st that worst drop in oil crisis since the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even without jobs are really good the worst one day drop ever theres no point in panicking government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts debt relief but theyll only work for a while and after that well theyll be no point in panicking because it will be too late. Afghan president ashraf ghani has signed a decree to release taliban prisoners around one and a half 1000 militants are to be freed as a 1st step ahead of releasing 5000. 00 fighters the move is part of a deal between the u.
