With your sport origin time strike and carlos tevez thats called a nice fellow footballers to open up their wallets and help during the current coronavirus crisis.

These in march many of them Seasonal Workers such as in the Tourism Industry the 3 and a host of 1000000 spaniards do not have a job and the number of british people applying for government benefits is 10 times higher than normal almost a 1000000 britons claimed universal credit in the last 2 weeks that despite a stimulus package aimed at preventing layoffs lets speak to committee how could he joins us live now from washington d. C. And kimberly these u. S. Figures are absolutely staggering out there and just happened in a matter of weeks millions of jobs have vanished yeah and in fact the numbers could be even higher what were hearing and as were reporting is not only do we have these staggering numbers this week but add that to the 3300000 people who filed unemployment claims last week and were 2 also hearing that many people couldnt even get through on the phone lines or on the internet so the numbers are projected to be even higher and still climbing and you have to remember that were in the social distancing guidelines now for you know a period of at least a month or more so the concern is whether or not some of these jobs will even come back you have to remember this is hitting all sectors of society whether its hospitality whether its travel and the list of sort of areas of employment it seems that there is nowhere that hasnt been touched and this is why were already hearing that there is going to need to be some sort of recovery package by the u. S. Congress the u. S. President s reporting this saying in fact that they may need to put in place a rebuilding of americas infrastructure just to get these americans back to work given the fact that there has been such a Major Economic shift as a result of dealing with coronavirus here in the United States rides and other important Economic News coming in we have movement in the oil price this following conversation between the leadership in the u. S. And saudi. Yeah this is just breaking see are going to have to bear with me that im reading my notes as we go what were hearing is that the oil has has rocketed terms of the price over 30 percent after the u. S. President had said to seti arabia and russia to slash output what were were learning is that the u. S. President has been talking all along that he has been in touch with the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin solomon in the russian leader Vladimir Putin well apparently as a result of this phone call theyre discussing the Global Energy markets and what were hearing of course is that the trump says that oil output could be cut substantially more than 10000000 barrels u. S. President easy even tweeting just the last few minutes it could be as high as 15000000 barrels he says good great news for everyone so it seems that the u. S. President is using his leverage his relationship with the russian leader as well as the Saudi Crown Prince in order to impact the Oil Supply War that has been going on that has been adding to global instability in addition to the problems already being experienced around the world as a result of the coronavirus pandemic forgive me thanks very much indeed for votes well have more on the oil price and the economy shortly roseman jordan has been talking to some of the people whove lost their jobs in the fallout from the pandemic and she has this report. Allie nelson cared for her family with a good job as if its working as an optician and washington d. C. That is until her employer laid her off we stayed open zones and so you know it just got to be too much in our. 3 months and you know were going to have to shut down. And so further notice and so thats kind of where were at right now so not. Only its not company was so were not getting. Nelson as part of the nearly 3300000 americans who filed for unemployment claims in late march government economists think the covert 19 pandemic could put as many as a 3rd of americans out of work those most at risk the 67000000 who work in the Service Sector the socalled gig economy and the entertainment industry. All that analysis had been living the dream in los angeles voice over work dancing acting but with social distancing mel the norm its almost impossible for anson alice to teach or perform so its pretty scary. Somehow she which is odd. Depressing and. Scary. To depression scared of fright and shade are what im saying clean through and i can explain. Michael hicks of Ball State University in indiana says the pandemic will force some workers to find new careers so i think theres going to be a lot of reprogramming by individuals from those occupations that you are people that maybe are skill into or high skill medical or other fields reason changing careers for nelson whos already in Health Care May not happen but she says people have a new understanding of what it means to survive this is a proof that people are living paycheck to paycheck and now Something Like this happens and people are prepared for anything and. Hoping the crisis does lead to a more systemic economic change in society rosalyn short aljazeera washington or i lets get more on the oil prices now we can speak to economics editor abbott ali who joins us from london and i would give us more detail if you would. Of well make you know we have the extraordinary situation just last week where oil prices in some parts of the u. S. But at 7. 00 a barrel and in one instance there producers have to actually pay. The take away the oil so its got to the Crucial Point where production in the u. S. Would start to shut down and so this is so we saw President Trump he had to step. And you have to. Know now we realize that hes actually spoken so n. P. s itself as mama been somebody inside arabia but the talks had actually started some weeks ago on march 23rd when when the price you started to tumble and so now we see that its going to be similar to some meeting and it could be a production can that present trump a treaty that there could be up to 15000000. 00 barrels of oil which are cut that is really interesting because well the United States actually the jury in this Production Cut for it because it will require more than opec to actually bring this or to bring this problem or price back up to a higher level where everybody can make a comfortable living so this is a way to save a situation where weve got to see whether the United States or actually joy in the Production Cuts itself which will be a 1st and what is the thinking behind this what will be the impact of this well you know nick weve just been talking about those job numbers we saw those extrusion in numbers where we got 6000000 americans looking for work we got. A demand for demand just falling off a cliff weve got. You know airlines which at which up popped up their jets. And transportation which has just come to come to a complete stop imports exports have have chili which the ground to a halt as well and so. This something has to be done to get the economy going now in order in normal circumstances no where prices will be really appreciate safe but once you get a lot of prices which are which are tapered its your business is to actually pump oil and get the economy going then something that she needs to be it needs to be done and this because they would say you know they could be job losses of more than 25000000 all around the world so this is the reason why the u. S. President has started these negotiations with president putin and with m. P. s to safely take it with we can get to a point where they start to do some Production Cuts or i believe that for a moment thanks very much ahmed ali on the increase in oil prices. Well millions of people stand to lose their jobs as the pandemic hits economies worldwide factories and businesses have been forced to shut down with more than 2000000000 people in lockdown around the world the International LaborOrganization Says at least 25000000 people could join unemployment queues globally the unions fear indias lockdown of 1300000000 people will cost tens of millions of jobs the Economic Policy institute says 40000000 people in the United States could become unemployed Goldman Sachs predicts the u. S. Economy will shrink by as much as 34 percent the tourism and travel industries have been hardest hit and British Airways is in talks to suspend 34000. 00 workers lets take this on we can speak about and refuse the c. E. O. Of harbor a Global Recruitment and candidate selection platform and joins us on skype from mr f. Welcome to the program 1st of all lets kick off with these oil price increases what do you make of whats happened. Yeah. I think in general its good news i think the will to facing the biggest devastating. Fire was almost in history and we cannot have. Problems as well that we could solve like or precious or anything we can do to stabilize the market would help definitely you just explain for us why it makes a difference why increasing the oil prices will help the situation. I think its about stubble is ation i think if you look at all prices recently its. Its gone up and down basically and i think if we have a table level now its more predictable and if the world becomes more predictable businesses can look at further and that will definitely help you know making plans to employ people again right because job losses around the globe the scale and speed in which theyve happened have absolutely no precedent in the economic shock particularly the United States they say it could rival the Great Depression what will that actually mean. Yeah i think it will we can say by no if you look at the numbers and also the predictions that you just mentioned of ilo 25000000 worldwide 14000000 in the us i mean where over 10 already sort of the 14 we will hit definitely and i think the biggest of course now we all focus in on the numbers and how fast they rise because thats been president and i think what we should look at is basically beyond the curve so we will spike at a certain level and i think the big question is what is the capability of the normal economy to absorb those people again because if you look at us now we have all the stimulus packages that will make sure that yet people get taken care off that cannot last forever and i think debts the biggest concern and in the future not the rise of the numbers right now but the decrease of the numbers awful after we hit the old time height that will have been for sure all right said no doubt the next few months are going to be very very difficult indeed what about getting back to where we were how long is it going to take yes our economy will restart again and the speed of least of this restart will depend on how long does it and it did this outbreak last basically and i 1st read it in Certain Industries it can take a long time im in close contact with some and printers in china and on how we open again but you see it at the levels of business after reopening are not even close to a half of what you know what it was the beginning of this year so i think it when you look at the hospital at the tourism the restart will be really slow but hopefully some of the other parts of the economy will pick up faster a great tell your perspective depreciate that suburban rough who is the c. E. O. Of hava thanks very much. To the United Kingdom which has reported a new record jump in its daily pandemic deaths 569. 00 people have died taking the total to nearly 3000. 00 more than 33000. 00 people are now infected that includes the Prime Minister promised johnson has been in isolation since friday he vows to massively increase testing as his administration comes under growing criticism for not doing enough were also massively increasing testing and i want to say a special word about testing because it is so important and as ive said for weeks and weeks this is the way through this is how we will unlock the coronavirus puzzle this is how we will defeat it in the end and our what we need to do is massively ramp up not just tests so that you can know whether youve had the disease in the past the socalled Antibody Test because that will enable you to go to work in the confidence that you cant be infected or infectious and thats a british Prime Minister but the promise for more testing is failed to come frontline medical workers across the United Kingdom more than 2000 of them are now infected. He did. So now we go look up. Im very sad. Very sad what could. You keep one boy want to tell you and say you know yes hes going to war and this is going to go on hes going to go look at germany. Please frustration is very apparent theres no lets go to jail and a holocaust. And that frustration journey comes from a harsh reality is the numbers that is driving up. Oh yes i think this frustration across the Health Service in the United Kingdom nic weve spoken to some of the front on Health Care Workers at this drug testing facility you again describe the shortages of person Protection Equipment they talk about their their colleagues going sick they talk about other colleagues who are simply having to isolate simply because theyve got symptoms but because they cant get tested to see whether theyve actually got the disease or not theyre taken out of service for a week to 2 weeks if they got a family home at a time when they are absolutely desperately needed its all part of the testing conundrum you heard Boris Johnson talking about is there britain way behind the curve of testing still they havent tested hardly tested any Health Care Workers at all the tests up to now have all been for people sick in hospital well thats theyre trying to redress that situation this is one of 5 Testing Centers drive through texas and theres not much going on here its a few days old this one in the carpark of an ikea in northwest london people come here if theyve received an email from Public Health england if they are Health Care Workers who as i say are isolated at home because of what symptoms they get is email they come here with email they show their id through the closed window of their car they go in they get tested weve seen quite a number of people but not nearly as many as theyre expected during the course of today only 200 or so feet through the capacity here is for a 1000 and they expect n. H. S. England and the government. But that thousands will contribute to the 1000 a day testing that is ongoing now that they will ramp up to 25000. 00 a day by the end of the month and then hundreds of thousands they say in the weeks to come lots of effort going on but the peak of the virus here in the u. K. Is thought to be less than 2 weeks away i think theres actually no way at least on current progress that the government will be up to the sort of numbers of testing required to deal with a virus when the peak of. Numbers the numbers of people nonfact at 33569 dead. A big jump that 569. 00 deaths a jump of 24 percent on the previous days figures weve seen about 3 days now with similar percentage jumps in the death toll and the worrying thing is you know they say now that the death toll is jumping the doubling every 3 days or so so the expectation is by the weekend you could see a 1000 people dying of 1000 in britain every single day and you know if you look at a grosse of the respective countries epidemics death tolls of particular you see that in italy and france at this point in their epidemic theyve begun to flatten the curve in spain as well to some degree here in britain and in the us the curve is still exponential and pretty vertical and that is worrying now weve had locked down for nearly 12 days here now theres a 2 to 3 week lag time if that curve isnt beginning to flatten i think within a week or by a week from now lets say i think that the real cools for a long hard journey thanks very much hall there in london. To spain now which is reporting a record increase in the number of daily deaths from corona virus world wide 950. 00 spaniards have died in the past 24 hours raising the total to more than 10000 another 8000. 00 are infected pushing the total of confirmed cases in spain above 110000. 00 thats similar to italy which is the worst hit country in europe lets speak now to dilbert e.
