M. F. Chief Economist Says that its the worst economic shock since the Great Depression of the 1930 s. Flattening the spread of coal with 19 using lock downs allows Health Systems to cope with this crises which then prove permits a resumption of Economic Activity in the sense there is no tradeoff between saving lives and saving livelihoods countries should continue to continue to generously support their Health Systems perform widespread testing and refrain from trade restrictions on medical supplies the Worlds Airlines are also suffering they stand to lose more than 300000000000. 00 in revenue this year thats the latest forecast from the industrys representative body i ourselves and the u. K. Economy could shrink by a staggering 35 percent over the next 3 months that would more than double unemployment and take public borrowing to its highest level since the 2nd world war we have Charlie Angela in london to talk about the u. K. s economic challenges in just a few moments but 1st lets go to alan fischer in virginia on the i. M. F. Some grim projections out of the i. M. F. And saying that Global Growth could fall by 3 percent of the economic shock thats greater than the g. D. P. Of both germany and japan combined. Its a lot of money theyre talking about and just 3 months ago the i. M. F. Image january prediction was saying that 160. 00 countries will experience growth before the end of the year clearly the covert virus is just real to skate to such a degree you know theyre making some assumptions there theyre making an assumption that things will get back to normal quite soon and that the economies across the globe will bones but with about 5. 8 percent growth in 2021 but the admit the situation could still change that if there is a 2nd wave of the virus if countries reopen too soon and we see more infections if the economy stays close for longer than we expect even though we are seeing some signs of recovery in some spots all of those could change these predictions quite radically what it does mean is that millions of people are unemployed lots of businesses have closed down Many Industries the amount of train lines have stopped and so they i. M. F. Is saying there has to be a Global Response to this well many countries have closed their borders and understandably so its not the time to do that economically to try and provoke a Global Recovery the say there cant be de globalization there has to be a concerted effort and then perhaps the World Economy meet go through this but certainly for many people d who are hoping that things were going to get better soon economically this is a real sobering morning from the i. M. F. As alan fischer reporting live there from home in the genea many thanks indeed as we reported the u. K. Is facing a big Economic Contraction and an increase in unemployment because of its measures to stop the virus spreading britains finance minister rushing so on access he believes that measures hes already brought in will mitigate some of that impact we cant protect every business and every household. But we came into this crisis with a fundamentally sound economy powered by the hard work and ingenuity of the british people and british businesses so while those Economic Impacts are significant the o. B. Are also expect them to be temporary lets get some analysis from our series Charlie Angelo at home in london so charlie the u. K. Economy could shrink by as much as 35 percent due to the pandemic thats one Government Agency saying that the chancellor says but. Yes he was very quick to stress that this is not a forecast from the office for budget responsibility this is just one possible scenario and he said it is very important to be honest about the damage that this lockdown will do he says hes been honest from the start there will be a considerable contraction of the economy but as you heard him say that the country was in a strong economic position before we entered this crisis he expects it to bounce back quickly know what the o. B. Art is is modeling is that the the countrys real g. D. P. Will contract by 35 percent in the 1st quarter unemployment will rise to 2000000 at the moment it stands at 1300000 so thats more than a doubling now that scenario is modeled on 3 months of full lockdown funded by 3 months of partial lockdown thats not what the government has announced but its not outside the realms of possibility because the government has said we can expect 12 months of varying levels of social distancing so they. Obviously are receiving some some pretty tough questions there because if this scenario does play out as the o. B. Are forecasted that would be a bigger contraction than we saw during the spanish flu the 2008 financial crisis world who won all world war 2 so it would be crippling for this countrys economy. But as he said the most important way the most important way we can to protect this countrys economy is by protecting the countrys health and to do that we still need to stay at home i was there as Charlie Angelo reporting live from london charlie many thanks indeed. New yorks governor has called for more cooperation from u. S. President donald trump thats all to trump said that he alone has the total authority to decide when the economy reopens and said thats not accurate and the trump is trying to start a fight the president will have no fight with me i will not engage it ive sat here every day for 44 years asking new yorkers to remember that this is not about me its about we i understand your personally can intervene i understand youre frustrated and stressed and anxious and youre feeling pain think about week think about get it get past yourself and think about society and think about your family think about interconnection and act responsibly for everyone else this is no time for politics and it is no time to fight all that came after trump and tweeted earlier saying that coelho has been calling daily even alley begging for everything most of which should have been the states responsibility such as new hospitals beds ventilators etc i got it all done for him and everyone else and now he seems to want independence that wont happen but top Infectious Disease expert on the Coronavirus Task force says the infection rates will increase whenever communities across the u. S. It begin to open and the public must be ready to take precautions the thing we absolutely have to have in place we better have in place is the capability up very efficiently. Identify isolating Contact Tracing getting people out of circulation if they get infected because once you start getting clusters then youre really in trouble so to me we have to have something in place that is a fish and and that we have rely on and were not there yet but ultimately the virus is going to determine when we really can safely reopen not only in general but in a particular location so you know you see those curves that are shown all the time at the press conference know new yorkers way up new jersey is way up now were starting to see boston and d. C. Doing that then theres a whole cluster of them in the bottom of communities states cities with theres a degree of infection but it hasnt done that exponential increase yet i think how you reopen if you want to use that word the economy in those communities is going to depend a lot on the ability to contain what we know will happen ill guarantee you once you start pulling back there will be infections its how you deal with the infection thats going to count thats suffering and i was house correspondent kelly how to joins us live now from washington andrew cuomo the governor of new york state is right can believe he says that the president is looking to start a fight here the question is why. Well it comes down to President Trumps reelection effort and the fact that he wants to win on a Strong Economy thats what he was hoping would bring him a 2nd term the u. S. Economy was in historically good shape but now it has been obliterated we have tens of millions of americans filing for unemployment lost their jobs overnight weve seen businesses shuttered we see instability in the Financial Markets this does not bode well for a president who wants to tell his successes in the economy hes always been a deeply divisible president but the one thing even those who didnt like him could sort of look past was the fact that they had jobs they could put food on the table thats not in the president s favor right now and thats why he continues to try and push for an early opening of this economy some people say even may 1st now we should say and point out that the president says hes listening to the advice of Public Health officials if they tell him he cant open the country on may 1 that he will listen and dr pao she said hes listened twice before so hearing the doctor found she the top Infectious Disease specialist in the United States speaking there just moments ago its pretty clear that its not going to happen and thats not going to sit well with the u. S. President hes already putting in place a Coronavirus Task force a 2nd one to deal specifically with the u. S. Economy and how you can get back to this on track but as dr fauci also said its not going to be the flick of a light switch because the reality is this pandemic is hitting different parts of this very large country in different ways that means you may be opening one section as another is seeing a tightening down of restrictions in order to combat the spread of coronavirus in the United States a White House Correspondent kimberly reporting live from washington many thanks indeed kimberly.
