Yes and not only the president himself but also his administration here on the lot of the white house we are expecting the Economic Advisor larry kudlow very shortly as well ive just seen walking behind me in the last few moments the health and Human Services secretary alex aides are also speaking to reporters so we are watching very carefully to see what they will be saying in the next few moments or in the next couple of hours in addition the u. S. President also tweeting what were getting a sense of here at the white house is there is an effort to try and contain not only the growing hysteria in the Financial Markets but also among the ordinary public and there is this perception by some here in the United States that this president has not perhaps taken this situation seriously enough treating it more as a political versus Public Health crisis take for example some of the tweets the u. S. President has been issuing in the last couple of hours he has really been trying to downplay this criticism saying in one tweet great job by the Vice President and the Coronavirus Task force thank you also a plotting his own decision to early on close the u. S. Borders to some travelers from china were of course the coronavirus originated saying best decision to close the borders saved many lives hes also pointing the finger at the media for inflaming what he believes is a situation not yet spiraling out of control saying that there is so much fake news so we are awaiting the president to speak himself he is currently in florida palm beach florida he is due to return to the white house later today of course will be following that for the moment it appears that it is members of his administration that are walking to the cameras and of course well bring that as soon as we get it because well join you later thanks very much committed in washington d. C. Well lets hear brian has more on the Oil Price Drop which triggers more turmoil in global stock markets. Oil prices have fallen by as much as 30 percent the steepest drop in almost 30 years a crisis described as heaven no equal in oil markets history the market turmoil began when saudi arabia the Worlds Largest oil exporter started a price war by announcing plans to boost production that followed fridays meeting in vienna by the organization of the Petroleum Exporting countries pick russia refused to join the cartels plan to reduce production at countering the decline in demand from china usually the worlds Biggest Energy consumer but damaged by the coronavirus crisis. The saudis are angry because other countries like russia are unwilling to participate in Oil Production cuts so this we will show you the bosses we can produce at much lower cost. But the oil price lump could have widespread consequences beyond hissing already just to remarket the International Monetary fund suggest saudi arabia needs prices to be at about 80. 00 a barrel to balance its budget the price fall will also hurt major Oil Producing nations venezuela and iran already under pressure from u. S. Sanctions a prolonged price collapse could mean they struggle to fund things like education and health care especially during the global corona Virus Outbreak. Spread of white as is control or. In the Capital Markets because. It has caused huge damage to the Global Economic americas Shale Oil Industry could also be in trouble it needs prices to be relatively high to make a profit Many Companies are heavily in debt and may not be able to make repayments leading to job katz this seems to be the kind of move that russian leaders might have actually decided was in their interests that Lower Oil Prices are not good for russias economy but if it causes even more paying to the u. S. Economy it might be something that theyd be interested in the consumers though it could mean less pain at the pump with the price of petrol expected to for next year brian aljazeera. Is there is digital managing Business Editor and she joins me now from new york talking with us always heading towards a perfect storm in relation to the fact that oil markets are falling and businesses worldwide are being affected by credit virus. Really the saudis cannot have chosen a worse time to unleash a price war because the markets were already reeling from uncertainty weve seen a tremendous amount of volatility over the last couple of weeks weve seen wild swings within stock markets weve seen yields on u. S. Government bonds which are seen as a safe haven a port in the storm weve seen those go down to historic lows on top of this now the saudis decide to not only slash prices that they charge for oil there are also reports on Reuters News Agency that they are planning to boost their production in april as well that is delivering a double shock to all markets right now that they already had the demand shock being demand in the face of coronavirus because it is gumming up supply chains and slowing manufacturing and other supply chains around the globe so you had that shock the demand shock and now on top of that we have a supply shock just all of this supply going into the market and we saw that play out in Oil Prices Today 30 percent that is significant that is hugely significant and with though weve seen the market pair those losses a little bit is still 20 percent and lets be clear 20 percent thats a crash it didnt of course when these sort of transfers happen we dont have the phrase credit crunch are we already in the midst of the. So there are signs of tightening in credit markets now what that means is that corporations they need to get their hands on cash in order to fund their day to day operations they also need access to credit to refinance their debts as well so what happens in credit markets when you start to see them seize up theres theres not enough passion there theres not enough readily available cash and there arent enough instruments that can be easily converted into cash that becomes a very very Serious Business and indeed weve already seen the United States central bank the Federal Reserve theyre pulling a page from their 2008 financial crisis play but theyre already making moves to really lubricate those credit markets to make more short term funding available theyre trying to stave off the credit crunch theyre trying to stave off panic. Thanks for. The events for us from a aljazeera Digital Department of course well come back to you as the situation changes thank you. European leaders are preparing to hold an emergency teleconference once the global coronavirus epicenter moves towards the continent governments are struggling to stop the spread with more than 10000. 00 infections confirmed so far italy france and germany that are hardest hit the International Monetary fund has urged governments to make substantial efforts to deal with the growing economic fallout Charlie Rangel is well treatments for us from our london new such lets just focus in on italy charlie with how they sort of coping with the strain. But with a quarter of a 1000000 people now under lockdown and that lockdown covering italys richest region not only the Financial Center milan but also the tourist hub of venice it is certainly feeling the strain on the tourist side and these extreme quarantine measures are going to be put in place until april 3rd its also feeling the strain in the health care side with the head of the crisis you know of the lombardi region thats one of the affected regions saying that the Health Care System there is one step away from collapse with intensive care facilities under enormous strain and there are reports of staff setting up intensive care facilities in chora doors in Emergency Rooms and operating theatres and having to clear entire sections of some hospitals to make space for seriously sick people but value one whos ever spent time in intensive care you know its not just the number of beds that are important but also the number of machines the respirators the heart monitors and if there arent enough of those to go around and critically sick people could be put at risk so in rome which is not under which is not within the red zone that public gatherings have been suspended in the vatican one person has tested positive for covert 1005 people are now under quarantine and this is approaching one of the busiest times in the churchs calendar easter when thousands of people travel to hear the pope deliver his public masses he is now also. Self isolation delivering his. Via video Video Conferencing by the internet. And theres also a strain on the countrys prisons in an effort to reduce any contact with inmates face to face visits from loved ones and friends have been banned and that has sparked a number of riots as a lot of dissatisfaction among inmates and or thirtys there and one prison official is saying that the government has effectively abandoned the prison system but these prisons that are very overcrowded the perfect environment in which a virus could spread rapidly so in italy were seeing strain of course Health Care Prison and the economy tourism. Of course charlie thanks very much for the update there Charlie Rangel in our london nice and well staying on message iran has reported another 43 deaths and grown virus as cases continue to rise there the death toll is now at 237. 00 more than 7000. 00 infections have been confirmed but the Global Airlines are stopped flying to iran which is facing one of the worst outbreaks in the world china is also reporting a fall in the number of new cases its just hard to 40 new confirmations continue to study drop over the past few days trini you has the latest from beijing. The 40 new cases and 22 deaths thats lowest some of the lowest numbers weve seen since this outbreak really started to pick up steam at the end of january in china more than 80000 people have been infected but Health Authorities say that most of those people have been cured and there are only about 20000 people now who are being treated for the current virus in hospital still 5000 people or so are in Critical Condition but its definitely a positive picture and were starting to see real concrete evidence of that change in this positive improvement in the epicenter of who bay province itself now there was at one point thousands of people being diagnosed every day about 2000 people on some days and of course because of that huge demand on the Hospital System in will hand they had to create all these makeshift hospitals with 14 makeshift hospitals were created including one called the living room which accommodated 1700 patients now 11 of those have now suspended operations or have been closed because there are not enough patience so obviously thats a good sign weve also heard today that there was a leak to document from 100 airport and the rising stuff to be ready to go back to work on march 10th now we have to remember there was a complete lockdown in the city of will han nobody could get in and out that means no trains and no flights so this is a sign that theyre not necessarily going to stop flights on march 10th but one airport is starting to think about getting up and running again which is a very big sign. Well punch your head here all the news hour including a mass murder trial begins over the shooting down of a malaysian airliner but will justice finally be served. But its for new fans are watching in this stadium but it didnt stop this footballer celebrating with himself it italy. Africa as Prime Minister has served survived probably what the government is calling an assassination attempt is vowing the attack wont hinder the political changes being made since the else to the share last year said. The monday morning attack took place in the sudanese capital of khartoum Prime Minister Abdullah Hamed was in a convoy of cars when gunfire and an explosion went off near his vehicle he survived the attempt on his life but the police might bike rider was injured within a couple of hours ham ducked tweeted a photo to prove in his words that hes in good shape the government says it was a targeted attack and investigations are under way and if you care to tout. I know were not we know that there are people who are trying to target the revolution of the sudanese people and to attack the gains of the revolutionaries but we stress that revolution is going on at the revolution will continue its path with you that. No one has claimed responsibility the attack highlights the fragility of sudans transition to civilian rule almost a year after protesters forced the military to remove president on one of bashir and replace him with a joint military civilian government but the generals remain effective rulers of sudan and of showing a reluctance to hand over power to civilians i Prime Minister hun doc has vowed that the attack once gets in the way of sudans transition sort of hired at aljazeera have a morgan has more from the site of the explosion in car too. This area right here is where the explosion targeting the convoy of sudans Prime Minister abdullah ham took happened now you can see the tape that was blocking the access to the area it has since been removed but you can see the impact of the blast on the windows of that building which has been completely shattered by the blast we heard from sudans Government Spokesperson saying that this was a car bomb that was targeting the Prime Minister in an effort to derail the Transitional Government we also heard that the Prime Minister is safe and in a safe location and that hes doing well and that nobody has been injured besides a traffic officer which was part of his motorcade now theyve also said that there were gunshots that followed the explosion so people are now asking how a Security Breach happened why was this allowed to happen on the convoy of the Prime Minister it of course comes at a time where sudan is facing an economic crisis people have been lining up for bread and fuel for the past few weeks and the countrys currency has been dropping against the dollar but people are out here on the streets to voice their support for the Prime Minister there saying that this has been the work of the former ruling party which has repeatedly put out statements saying that it will derail the government which it views as illegitimate and they say that unless justice and accountability and investigation is conducted then they will not back off and they want to know why the Prime Minister was targeted at this time specifically so a lot of people out on the streets the Sudanese Professional Association which has been spearheading calls for protests have also put out calls for more protests to supports the Prime Minister so were seeing that this has caused a lot of tensions despite seeing people out here theyre saying that the Prime Minister needs to be provided with more security and that they will be out here to guard not only the Prime Minister but the revolution that brought him to power. At least 43 people are being killed in a series of attacks and became differences north the government says they happened in 2 villages near the city of. This is the latest attack in fridays whole region where violence has worsened over the past year of groups linked to al qaida and i still have targeted Security Forces and civilians.

The blast did not appear to take place near the ceremony garveys political rival Abdullah Abdullah held a power level swearing in both men were laying claim to the presidency after a disputed election in september head up to hamid is in kabul she says the feud could affect peace talks with the taliban. It was certainly i think full of controversy and violence because 1st of all there was a lot of delay in this inauguration people had been told to arrive quite early in the morning all the guests and the media and then when we arrived there we were told no it was delayed by 6 hours and then it was delayed by another additional hour during that time you had the u. S. Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad try shuttling basically between these 2 political rivals president a shovel and me and. Trying to find a compromise where he couldnt find a compromise and actually both of them went ahead with their own president ial inauguration during his speech during the inauguration. Actually. Said that by tomorrow he will issue a decree for do release of taliban prisoners thats one of the thats one of the articles of the agreement between the u. S. And the taliban but he said that that would take several months actually to release up to 5000. 00 prisoners he also said that they will be a. Delegation that will go to the interim afghan talks which are considered crucial here to bring any kind of peace and stability will be ready in the coming days but then you have the problem of. Do know where he during his inauguration was saying that he was illegitimate that the election that happened in september was marred in fraud and he actually called for a 2nd round of president ial elections so his president has you in brussels to meet leaders reza typos wanted to discuss the migration crisis on the border between turkey and greece as well as military operations in syria the criticizer one for opening turkeys borders to allow tens of thousands of refugees to the crossing into the block. Germany has reportedly agreed to take a underage take in under age migrants whove been trying to get to mainland europe through the greek islands thousands of Asylum Seekers have been trying to leave turkey after its presence of the country would no longer prevent them its increased friction between turkey and greece and its led to violence between Border Guards and refugees.

U. Continues to grow rapidly italy has the highest the bobbitt sections with nearly 7400 fictions. Lawrence coast of is the church in Global Health law at Georgetown University and he joins me now from washington d. C. Good to have you with us on the program sir china south korea they seem to have their figures seem to be reducing and yet europe and the us there the birds are increasing what do we deduce friday from the way the virus is spreading and how its manifesting itself now i mean every country is going to manifest itself in a different way depending upon how much its in belgian population or also how gresson who measures to change. And there are also Natural Cycles of. Our of any kind of disease so what were seeing now really. Is a a lot more in your cases certainly in china and now in south korea were seeing a worrying trend of Community Transmissions in europe in the United States im an ass a speck that could will also be the case in other parts of the world lets just hope it doesnt gets stronger and then in places where we have systems like Subsaharan Africa or are in places narrow unstable lying around syria or yemen i mean it would be fair to say that theres something lacking in the european or the american response to dealing with those rising figures that lack of preparedness parents or lack of information. Well you know i mean places like the u. K. In the United States do have among the strongest Health Systems in the world and they have been ranked culture than you know fairly highly in Global Parents alone no country is truly prepared. But you have to remember you know europe and the United States are not china cant use the forms of social control intrusive 0 daryns Police Presence to prevent movement in tracking people and the way that china can you know in democracies we have to balance human rights and Civil Liberties against Public Health. If thats the trip there thats the case there because if i can interrupt sorry. If thats the case its really a Democratic State in the European Union has locked down a large proportion of its law the part of the country i mean. How do you view that. I know ive just been writing about it and it is a curiosity i wouldnt have expected a western democracy to put back can of corn seen in place i mean were seeing a whole new world. China. Quarantined up to 70000000 people it was the biggest quarantine in the history of the world and what the World Health Organization did is it praised china to doing that and then it said people should use the china model. Now it may be that chinas model did slow down the infection i have i believe w. H. O. When it says that but there are human rights considerations that we need to balance in italy is you know italy is unusual in the United States and im being asked all the time could you know could our country quarantine new york sentences for chicago and i would find that really inconceivable but youre right a democratic democracy like italy certainly did do that what it did what were seeing now though is the other extreme to a certain extent to that the u. K. And australia who have you might say few cases relatively compared to other nations see a phase of panicking within the public panic buying at supermarkets for example thats a real worry even though the government please keep saying dont worry dont panic the public themselves you might say risen in their anxiety over what was for their hearing and seeing through the media and social super social media and the digital our waves. Yeah thats exactly right i sit here in the United States i want to when shopping myself last night i wore rubber gloves and this shelves are empty and meetings are being canceled as a lot of worry and concern now you remember remember this the fact that the u. K. And the u. S. Have relatively few cases reported doesnt mean they dont have a lot of cases in the community. In the u. S. Reexamine. We dont just a tiny fraction of the testing thats occurred in south korea japan. Or china and so were not picking up cases back and assure you theres a lot of Ongoing Community transmission certainly in the u. S. And i would suspect that would be cheaper in the u. K. In other parts of europe which could have your import laws custom the from Georgetown University thanks for joining us washington d. C. So thank you sure its my pleasure thank you for having me. Heres a clip from our colleague zoologists their Online Platforms on how the crowd of viruses cause widespread panic across the globe. Was one of the you know what. I think it usually used for filing a class that was mike economists thats what should be all my book like this but yeah there was a lot that went up to. The in. The south africa has one of the highs club rights in the world much of it due to illegal firearms now the government is offering amnesty many all skeptical that this will make south africa even safe for me to build a puzzle for so whats a journalistic. This is the reality of gun crimes in south africa on average there are 58. 00 murders every day one of the highest Violent Crime rates in the world according to government statistics and experts say thats largely down to half a 1000000 illegal firearms on the streets buying an illegal gun can cost as little as 50. 00 as very it is ago because its very easy to buy a gun in the hospitals or you can get it by breaking into houses in the suburbs sometimes you mark someone who has a gun its very easy to get a gun here in south africa these gang members in the johannesburg township of soweto who dont want to be identified say guns make it easier to commit crimes with 4 guns between them they call themselves a small army and they say they are capable of protecting themselves. As they continue to do commit crime we do a lot of things threatened by a motions because really look there is attrition at all no one is ricky only hosel is nothing how else can we use a gun especially one that is not a license we hustle and bustle the wrong we just saw we can have something to eat looking phone to leave some way they say theyve all been arrested for crimes ranging from house break ins to vehicle theft while they are 3000000 registered guns in south africa the government is offering amnesty to people willing to hand in guns or ammunition that are unregistered but theyll only avoid prosecution if the guns have not been used to commit crime. So far police have collected more than 2000 firearms and over 31000 rounds of ammunition at this hand over in johannesburg gun shop owner crisp on the back surrendering more than 300 firearms he says no longer have commercial value but while the government says theyve been some successes in reducing the number of guns on the street some people say the Amnesty Program will not reduce crime would any of you hand over your own firearms. You know i want to have you know. Every year close to 10000. 00 guns from handguns to a k 47. 00 assault rifles are reported lost or stolen adding to hundreds of thousands of illegal firearms on some african streets the government says its doing all it can to change that. These guns are often difficult to trace and police hope some of them will be handed over during the amnesty period but getting the public to cooperate is not the only challenge Police Corruption has also contributed to the number of illegal firearms with some Police Officers accused of selling confiscated guns to criminals and so for many the government may still not be doing enough to make south africa safer for me the aljazeera johannesburg. So hes across mexico witnessing whats being called a day without women a day after tens of thousands turned out for protests to Mark International womens day female workers across the country are staying at home they say theyre showing what society would be like without them and theyre demanding Government Action on the number of women being murdered which has more than doubled in the last 5 years from homeless lifeforce in mexico city so did it work john. Well its pretty early at the moment and we just actually had a house because as you said today the aim of this is not just a strike from the working place but also the women dont go out in the street at 2 so were in a house where a group of women are just going to be surprising out and talking about this issue and sort of symbolically disappearing and a much we here with mulling gomez whos a child psychologist money thanks a lot for joining us today i think what is the significance of this be a symbol head is that they without women put are you trying to do today were trying to create consciousness that women are dying disappearing in this country not only women of a certain age its women all the way from 7 to 80 something and theyre dying and and theyre being pulled into sex trafficking and theyre being battered to houses and its just terrible violence towards women just because they are winning it more than 10 women killed a day in mexico right now so this is a chronic problem though theres also sort of a culture that underlays this is you know i have been talking about would sure and personal experience why are you protesting yourself i was almost abused when i was 12 and then again when i was 13 and then again when i was 15 and then again when i was 18 all the way until i was 24 and out of college my teachers male teachers and i dont want any girl to have to go through that and now its even worse because youre not just interested gang and we as men get your phone number and they have rescued daily and girls have been pulled into sex trafficking 20 are just 1415 yourself only squirrel weve spoken about a coat of much Cheese Movement chauvinism in mexico in parts of mexico is this going to be enough these actions even though the historical the march and then destroyed to change that is just the 1st big big step is the massive not were not here anymore its a wake up of consciousness but its not the only step the has to be taken a hat do we need more laws we. Need more protection of a fiscally we need things that are devoted to say protect women from sexually related gender related crimes so its just one step and in your work as a psychologist you deal a lot with the younger people have you seen any change in the Younger Generation its absolutely beautiful to see teenagers think its being so where things like the kid that told me that mommys not going to be working or doing anything because we have to know what would be like if she died and daddy has to do everything today so that you know he was a 4 year old so i guess were seeing changing to gender generations and thats a major step thanks so much for speaking to us molly and so is mulling gomez speaking to us women all over the country are going to be staying indoors not all of them of course not everyones in favor of this strike but a lot of women and in the full workforce in mexico theres actually 21000000. 00 women thats 40 percent of the workforce this year could have a sizeable impact on the country and of course its only one day at the moment but they wont be a symbol head is a day without women in mexico john thanks very much on home there in mexico city.
