Now as Oil Producers cope with the largest in global history the biggest saudi oil shipment in years is making its way to the United States and they are reports the kingdom is exploring where those tankers can be rerouted to if washington bans them john hendren explains. A flotilla of Saudi Oil Tankers is slowly steaming toward the United States and into which really welcome for a u. S. Ally indicative of how desperate these at war states are forced to sell their oil to find a place directly to find a place to place their oil with the coronavirus driving oil prices to historic lows all u. S. Oil storage is expected to be filled in the next month the saudi move to occupy much of that precious Storage Space on the u. S. Gulf coast has been called by some industry insiders in economic pearl harbor a hostile attack on u. S. Soil. A coalition of 13 u. S. Senators from energy state goes even further calling it Economic Warfare texas senator ted cruz writes on twitter 20 tankers filled with 40000000 barrels of saudi oil are headed to the u. S. This is 7 times the typical monthly flow my message to the saudis turn the tankers the hell around cruz says the longtime u. S. Ally is exploiting a pandemic to kill the rival American Shale Oil industry some analysts say hes right what inside arabia rightfully doing as any other oil producer is to get rid of the competition and competition in this case is Expensive Oil shale oil expensive to produce u. S. Leaders have long nurtured strong bonds with saudi leaders even since the rise of shale oil helped the u. S. Overtake saudi arabia is the Worlds Largest oil producer 3000000000. 00 the fact that saudi leaders are now willing to risk the anger of their American Allies suggests they believe the worlds oil glut wont end anytime soon with much of the world on lockdown few drivers on the road and fewer planes and ships are using fuel oil prices are so low they briefly hit negative territory this week at the chicago board of trade that left some sellers actually paying buyers to take it off their hands now many producers are simply storing it and of waiting for prices to rise the u. S. Can hardly turn the ship so way the saudi government owns them ot the oil refinery in port arthur texas americas biggest its usually crude that moves the refineries to you know. Market well you might as well just buy your own oil even as american politicians lament the saudi incursion the ships sail ever closer john hendren al jazeera chicago. Now officials in venezuela say robust testing along with tough measures are responsible for the country having one of the lowest rates of the coronavirus in the world where just over 300 cases in a country of 29000000 people a doctors are worried saying venezuela wont be able to cope with a larger break traceable reports. They see more telesales food on the streets of katia a working class neighborhood in caracas the ongoing economic crisis and the lock down are having a big impact in her life. But the committee decided were only working 3 hours a day i understand they are doing it to protect our health but i am a single mother of 2 children and my eldest daughter and his son also live at home i think the situation will get worse every day. Security forces on the streets are trying to enforce a lockdown to prevent the spread of covert 19 but people are becoming more and more desperate every day. On thursday reports of looting and clashes with Security Forces in several states around the country so how dire the situation is. Covered 19 may generate fear among people but surviving every day is the main worry for many. Government figures show that venezuela has around 300 confirmed cases of covert 1000 the president says the country has tested over 200000 people with the help of the Chinese Government is a let me tell a 1000000 a blast that is the medium term goal we have to reach a 1000000 texts at this stage we carried out 250000 but we have to reach 10000000 trees to comply with the complete protocol of the World Health Organization. There are 2 types of testing being done the b. C. R. That test the virus genetic material and the rapid tests that are less sensitive than the p. C. R. Thats why doctors like to say the virus may be severely underdiagnosed in venezuela that. Limitation of the amount of tests prevents you from doing lots of them but it may be greatly under reported what we think the government is doing is mixing p. C. R. Tests and rapid tests you cannot mix pairs with apples the numbers reflect different things. Venezuelan hospitals are already struggling with shortages of almost everything only 70 percent of them have Running Water and so we spoke to oscar now as a doctor in the state of the he says he supports the call by Opposition Leader why though to pay extra money to Health Care Workers that fight 19 may go to school im. A doctor like me give 1. 50 a month and thats why my interim president one will use some resources to give 100. 00 a month to those who qualify and work in the Health Sector the money comes from accounts that have been recovered from the government and will be paid as virtual money for 3 months venezuelas Health Care System is already stressed to the limit the spread of covert 1000. 00 can easily make it collapse. Ill just see the. European Union Leaders have held their 4th video summit on ways to protect the Single Market from the effects of the coronavirus outbreak theyve agreed on the need to Work Together on a way out of the crisis but seems less united on what that should look like some countries begin to ease restrictions the Czech Republic for instance has lifted a ban on overseas travel while others are pushing ahead with the search for a vaccine so negative reports. In this laboratory in oxford a glimmer of hope human trials have now begun here. With a vaccine. Researches are confident that it could take just months before they know if it would work and manufacturing it on a large scale could take much longer but hopefully this will give us some good data and then hopefully in a couple of months or maybe a year or so we were able to be able to protect more people 1st in germany the 1st day back at school but nothing like these peoples could have imagined a partial reopening for older peoples only carries many restrictions social distancing is tightly in force between their designated desks the usual hive of energy replaced by a more careful serious mood. Despite having the 5th largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world germany is slowly relaxing its lockdown but a desire for things to return to normal as well as fears over the Economic Impact of the pandemic have come with a warning from the chancellor Angela Merkel its not been thats not guns often targeted but i will therefore tell you quite frankly that i fully support the decisions taken by the federal and State Governments on wednesday last week but the implementation since then worries me in part it seems to me very brisk some of it seems to me to be quite brisk if not to say to praise. For the European Union the full extent of the damage the pandemic has caused the block wont be revealed for months but it is preparing for a slump the like of which has not been seen since world war 2 the European Commission has suggested a 325000000000. 00 Recovery Fund for his forthcoming budget as well as borrowing another 350000000000. 00 from Capital Markets for further spending really up to me because even if its so difficult even if of course the last difference in cities in europe and goes into the surprise there is a very Strong Political arena to Work Together and to succeed to build compromises. On the political strains are already evident wealthier countries such as france will remain under pressure to provide aid to the blocs less well off members as a test of solidarity that could define the very future of the union itself so nick i i go. South africas president says he will gradually ease a nationwide lockdown stabbing starting early next week some parts of the economy will reopen and still hama poolside has called on all south African Society Wearing Masks outdoors he says assertions will be lifted slowly to reduce the risk of a spike in infections people in south africa have been under some of the strict cysts quarantine measures in africa beyond thursday the 30th of april we should begin a gradual and phased recovery of Economic Activity we were implementing. What we call a risk adjusted strategy through which we take a deliberate and cautious approach to the easing of current lockdown constrictions. From johannesburg famine emily explains what these measures will mean for South Africans the president to use the sadrist to outline 5 key phases of a lockdown or a reopening of Economic Activity and an easing of restrictions and moving from level 5 with south africa is now which is you know at the end of that spectrum the the harshest restrictions so far south africa would move to level 4 which the president has said would then still include some pretty tough restrictions for South Africans but i think the key difference would be the reopening of Economic Activity and even then companies would be forced to only allow a 3rd of their workforce at the places of employment at any given time now borders in south africa will remain closed besides repacked rating South Africans will be no travelling between individual provinces for south africa all gatherings will remain prohibited by the government but sides funerals so there is some change but i think not the kind of relief millions of South Africans were hoping for given that all that rick is now entering the 5th the week of a very strict lockdown.
