3 am here in moscow thanks for joining us tonight r. T. International and welcome to the program. Well the oil stocks are taking a major hits following the failure of crude producing countries to agree to production cuts as the month for oil full of it fears about the coronavirus saudi arabia says it will increase output after a dispute with russia with more has. Quite a somber atmosphere here on wall street they are already calling it black monday we saw a 15 minutes free on futures trading when the stock market opened big dramatic plunge on the stock market the biggest drop weve seen since the 2008 financial crisis and on top of all of that weve got an Oil Price Drop 30 percent decline in the price of oil a plunge in the price of oil the biggest drop weve ever seen in oil cents in 1901 and at this point it being traced back essentially to the negotiations with opec saudi arabia has come forward and called for a decrease in Oil Production due to limited demand around the coronavirus well russia has come forward and said that this call for a reduction in Oil Production and a cap on Oil Production doesnt really make sense because it would give the United States an unfair advantage but this is what has been said by russian officials the Russian Oil Industry has a high quality Resource Base and a sufficient financial strength to remain competitive any predicted price level as well as maintain its market share for russias interests this deal is simply logical we giving up our markets remove cheap arab and russian oil to make way for expensive american shell and make it worthwhile for them saudi arabia did not appreciate russia refusing to go along with their proposal for a production cap and so they flooded the market and the price has dramatically gone down 30 percent drop 31. 00 a barrel here in the United States and in response to that weve got economists talking about how dangerous this situation really is we believe you. Price war running quickly still to this weekend when saudi arabia aggressively cut the relative price which is sils its crude by the most at least 20 years this is turned into a scorched earth approach by saudi arabia in particular to deal with the problem of chronic production the saudis are the lowest cost producer by far at this point the whole world is waiting to see who will blink 1st russia or saudi arabia now the Shale Companies in the United States those are companies that extract oil and natural gas from the shale of the United States through the practice of hydraulic fracking they have been suffering quite a bit furthermore weve got algeria and france among other countries stepping up and calling on saudi arabia to negotiate and saying that theyve got to get this resolved the World Economy is in a jam people are very very nervous will wait to see what happens next. President was in brussels on monday in a bid to find a compromise to the unfolding crisis at the greek Turkish Border visit comes amid a deepening diplomatic standoff between now things thats left tens of thousands stranded at the border is our europe correspondent peter. There was no joint press conference between the e. U. Side and the turkish side following this meeting but we did hear from sharp michele the European Council president and on the line the European Commission president mr michel well he said that this was a step forward that had been taken in relations between the e. U. And to see that these talks were important in establishing progress in the short to medium to long term and he said that the slack would now be taken up by. The high representative for Foreign Affairs whod be working closely with the Turkish Foreign minister to try and get well come to a solution to the current impasse over the 2016 e. U. Turkey refugee deal he also said that they would be called contact over the coming days between the e. U. Side and president to one of turkey. On the line for her part she said that it was important that there was lines of communication still open pretty much thats where we are at the moment theyre happy that theyre still able to talk to one another face to face very diplomatic language used by the European Commission president as you would youd really expect essentially saying that more both sides agree to disagree at the moment todays discussion focused on mapping the areas in which we can work both in the e. U. s interests and in turkeys interest and indeed as you said a lot goes back to the e. U. Churchy statement of 2016 which remains valid Commission President was also asked about the actions of greek authorities out the border the question came from a turkish journalist who to accused the greek side of Excessive Force now on the line said its borders were important to be protected but so was the right to asylum that all force that was used to be proportionate. Basically the situation we have at the moment is turkey is unhappy with the current deal its on the table it says its manageable if there is a chance that certain aspects of it could be reopened back in 2016 they werent able to get the visa liberalization that they wanted theres also. That turkey will be looking for more cash essentially from the European Union if thats coming at it what form that money would come well thats going to have to be ironed out over the coming days in these talks that are going to continue basically the current deal does seem dead the new deal well they havent agreed on that yet geopolitical analyst here believes that you want the ramp up the pressure in turkey but doesnt have the means. It was a 1st meeting but each reserved. A no no decision october so far because they are big disagreements not only between the e. U. And turkey but also weaving eve and European Union who would like to appear. To show all strength in front of turkey because or turkey gratian against e. U. By using a migration of crisis at your particular weapon but actually we reach and the border is not to a cross. But by you or migrants pushed by turkey because Greece National board of greece is kept by a greek government on greek Police Forces but sir reality on the ground. To curb the spread of the coronavirus italian Prime Minister has announced a nationwide ban on all public gatherings the drastic measures come as the number of infections in the worlds 2nd worst hit country reached over 9000 growing by more than one and a half 1000 on monday while the number of deaths has risen to almost 100. I am about to send a decree that we can sum up with the expression stay at homes there will no longer be a red zone there will no longer be a zone one or a zone 2 on our peninsula there will be at li li that is a protected zone so it will be necessary to avoid all movement throughout italian territory unless it is motivated by 3 specific circumstances i mean the latest restrictions uprisings broke out in a number of jails besides demands for improved conditions prisoners have been reportedly angered by new rules which have seen a suspension of family visits this footage shows a group of roommates on the roof of the side of a daughter prison in milan burning items and shouting for freedom the most severe olt was seen in the Northern City of more data which left 6 inmates dead while in sicily the road to observe some detainees gathered near a jail over a potential prison an infection. That was so well this coronavirus has been raging for almost 3 months he spoke about everything except the prisoners this is unfair because in this building you dont even have a chance right now an ambulance has just got here and you have no idea why one of the ministers to be prompted all these people have sentences of less than 5 years have to be treated as different measures at home. And we discussed the prison protests as well as italy and europes response to the Coronavirus Crisis with political analyst paul a foreigner he believes the use efforts have so far for the short. Definitely they are in the prisoners interests but of course d. C. Is used to to outcries within the christians and try to get the permissions to return home at least dont really so this is quite disturbing events measures to be increased in the prisons because of course the inmate somebody close to each other the possibility oh. Im straight he means there but i mean all this out pricing is. Not actually not just definitely. This is a bit of far mismatch in the provisions that the doctor says but on the other hand they say that means italy is a democratic country and there are a number of interests to be taken into account the e. U. Has confidences and can intervene above the Member States but even in this case because passage of the e. U. To intervene in this emergency as being very vague. Calling just the sort of solidarity among states which has not been seen. Scores of south African Women were sterilized in Public Hospitals without their consent the revelations of comfort i had a new report we spoke to one of the victims he found that her uterus had been removed only when she tried to get pregnant 11 years later. Burstall of the baby was too big and they had to perform and i c. Section i remember when i walked up i asked them why they have each bandage on my tammy then they explained that the baby was too big and then 2016 a good engaged after trying for about 4 to 5 months. But that me being able to conceive with them thought i should go see a doctor i really just thought it was just my land and fertility issues dr will prescribe medication opera fine and when it goes there thats really learned that i didnt have the terrorists at all i dont think there was anything wrong with me i didnt have any complications before birth and i didnt have any complications after birth for some reason for im known reason they just decided to move my uterus im seeing it and nongreasy in because as im sitting in this moment i dont know why i was leading this to alive when i met with dr ed ridge who confirmed that he was there when the procedure happened he also could not give me the answer all you could say to me was that they did the operation to save my life i dont know to save my life from white. Commission for gender equality investigated the complaints from 48 victims of south africa source their realization as a way to fight. The hospital staff forced some of the women to sign a consent forms into the World Health Organization the country suffers from the Worlds Largest demick more than 4000000 women or positive in the country are courting to be report illegals their reservation was carried out in 15 Public Hospitals between 20022005 the study was complicated by the fact hospital staff tried to hide documentation of the victim we spoke to though says she is not hiv positive. Im not actually positive our high. Offices they are quite aware of this and ill say this and. Camera there are quite aware of the practice and you know doing anything no one is being held accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didnt the same and i couldnt have signed it because at that time i was a minor and my mom who was there with me all the time also didnt same any consent form no woman deserves to go through what i am going through all that and what you are all going through is literally listeria lives i do not want my daughter to be singing the same song that i am singing today because the time bearable with the pain that comes with guests and there is unbearable and most of all rides. To my right as a human being we are very elated my route is a woman and ted my reproduction right were taken away from me and no woman ever in south africa should go through what we are going through we have contacted south africas Health Authorities for comment will bring any response we get the Health Minister in the meantime investigated the issue. The trial has got underway in another lands of 3 russians and ukrainian accused there were the darling of flight m. H. 70. 00 boat was blown out of the sky over Eastern Ukraine almost 6 years ago killing all 298 people on board russia rejects the accusations and claims the investigation is biased ortiz shot at doing skis been following the case. Weve been getting lots of information about how the call to proceed not just over the next few weeks but over the next few months and beyond this is all taking place at the court behind me which is the scriptural judicial complex in the shadow here of the airport where m. H. 17 made that final flight that fatal flight which ended in the deaths of 298 individuals what we know is that all 4 men the 3 russians and one ukrainian have denied the charges against them those charges of been suspected of being involved in transporting a book from russia into Eastern Ukraine 3 of the men will be tried in absentia they are not here the 4th man or leg of is also not here but he has a defense team that he has appointed and he is denied outright all of the charges against him the names of the victims of the mh 17 crash all read out to the court this morning the judge that had judge describing the heavy silence in the court as people listened to those names he also talked about this being a court case that had already been played out in the media and he said it was something that had fired debates weve also heard from the opening remarks of the Prosecution Team who talked also about the family victims and their statements on that in another relative explained in detail how the family responded how difficult it was he describes her like this everything feels meaningless i have no Energy Connection with lifes good. While this criminal trial will come as a relief for some for others it will be a heavy burden to bear every time the best occasion appears in the news one relative may feel hopeful as their wounds reopened well the head judge described what happened to m. H. 17. It is being an atrocious disaster he also said that while the 4 men are suspected of being involved in transporting that took a missile from russia to ukraine and the trials will be held simultaneously they cases will not be joined weve been taking a look back at how this court case arrived its a trial its set to last more than a year 3 russians and the ukrainian are accused of helping to bring a book Missile Launch from russia into Eastern Ukraine where it fired the fatal shot that brought down the boeing 777 some of those that we expect to be here are 13 secret witnesses whose identities are being protected and thats because dutch prosecutors say they face significant risks to their safety but even before the court has heard a single argument some are treating the trial as a story that already has no stone left unturned brushes probably involved and if involved theyre probably going to cover it up 51 percent of russians and directly involved are right now it looks like its russias fault because. Its russias fault i its clear some dont need to wait for any Court Verdict to draw up their own conclusions russia claims this kind of coverage has a clear intention and in the Media Campaign has taken an unprecedented scale of russia and its citizens are presumed guilty that is unacceptable it has been launched in the last few days prior to the hearings in order to compensate for existing gaps in the evidence and to conceal the attempts to manipulate the facts so that it fits with a chosen theory for the prosecutors say they have evidence that the book a Missile System was transported from russia into the Donetsk Region of ukraine in the days before it was fired now russia says thats not true its presented evidence that the fatal missile serial number. Can be traced all the way back to the 980. 00 s. When it says it was transported to ukraine then a member of the soviet union and its there it stayed after the collapse of the u. S. S. R. But the joint Investigation Team into the mh 17 tragedy has russia says ignored what it believes is a crucial piece of the jigsaw russia was also refused full participation in the probe and as such says it will not recognize the verdict reached here by the Court Despite the fact russia was denied being a full participant of the joint Investigation Team since the very 1st day of the tragedy the Russian Federation has actively assisted the investigation and during the past year is conveyed to a dutch colleagues a large amount of data connected with the mh 17 crash unfortunately most of these materials were ignored by the joint Investigation Team this includes a test by the book manufacturer to try and pinpoint the location it was shot from. Russia claims that test shows the mis are likely came from an area controlled by Ukrainian Forces but the findings were checked it by the g i t with its report stating that russia and ukrainian rebels were responsible. We have established that the Russian Federation was complicit in the downing of m h 17 because they made available the weapon that was used to shoot down the plane we have all the material to substantiate that the official investigation also received criticism from malaysia 43 malaysians died in the catastrophe which involved the countrys National Carrier but his fortune is they were not given full access to essential information that was contained in the black box of the flight recorders while the countrys now. Former Prime Minister has raised doubts from the very beginning we see too much politics in the idea was to friend hold. On there. Seem to be concerned that it needs to be in russia many relatives of those who were killed in the mh 17 disaster are expected to be present at the trial so this is a court case about finding the truth and perhaps finding closure for a devastating chapter of their lives some have already you crave for not closing it sky over a conflict zone in the east of the country but whatever the outcome here godless of whether the 4 men are found guilty or innocent nothing will ever bring back their loved ones. R. T. Them. Manipulated media got a video released by the white house about joe biden the 1st time the social media giants use the label since introducing fresh rules for synthetic and manipulated media last week video was edited to make it seem the democratic president ial candidate had admitted at a recent rally reelection was inevitable is the full version you can see you know. Can now get reelected you cannot win this reelection surely we can only reelect goldstraw. If you in fact we get to the circular file and. Despite early lead by senator Bernie Sanders former Vice President joe biden has emerged as the front runner in the democratic race after emerging victorious from super tuesday recent polls indicate hes also favored by over half of registered democratic voters. On the wave of high profile endorsements from former candidates his campaign has not been without a fair share of gaffes though like this latest one. Was 2 this money is just your valerie and i knew it was. Well you shot me i was right there is marcia they should show you is it and it was innocent mistake. But it could still cause trouble if he becomes president. Heres a call back number 302017 hope that saloon Nuclear Launch codes this one should not mean one of the 1st rules of politics you never want to confuse your wife and your sister thats of all could mistake and if you are going to talk about your sister wife you should have done it sooner because then you could have won utah. Was yeah were. Joined by former republican member of the Missouri Senate john william a lot of thanks for joining us good to have in the program today what do you make of twitters new policy. With you know this is this is terrible the whole biden thing you know we did we see him make the gaffes if you see somebody with normal mental function make a gaffe its funny if you see somebody with limited function make a gaffe its you know its uncomfortable its not funny so because people are kind of torn on this this whole biden thing. Just regarding the video better in the water by you know obviously that doesnt need to be a system of checks in this world of fake news you know thats become the buzzword over the last year right so. Its a form of censorship. Yet it is it its absolutely censor censorship we have all these social Media Companies become giants they are kind of monopolies and to their platforms and theres no doubt about it that theres systematic deep platforming of conservatives and its it puts people in a quandary because we have a strong 1st amendment on the one hand but on the other hand we respect private Property Rights if you own a business you should have broad latitude in how to run that private business so theres a conflict between the 2 and. These giant companies picking on one side so uniformly is is really tempting the chat the balance between business rights and free speech well and indeed in the wider political debate is what i mean facebook has rejected of using checks specifically old political ads you think people who perhaps intended to post you know will twitter just switch to other social media platforms and post what they want. Yeah well you know one would think but again you know there is these are funny things how you see these platforms rise and fall and and or at least become one less popular than another for instance you know facebook is pretty much like people over 40 in the kids are all on instagram so if you want to speak to to kids and your d. Platforms off instagram its very hard to to reach them kids i mean you know young adults of voting age so we have to it really does matter when 11 platform decides to silence speech and its a big. Actor. Do you think social media platforms or prepared are for equipment or for all that the deal with these you know socalled the fake the sport of fake news because weve heard weve had you know issues with the previous election a very much a part of a wider debate have lessons been learned do you think or not. Well its dangerous and any time they decide to engage in some kind of of censoring of material it theres a danger inherent in that that theyll call something a deep fake thats not maybe its critical message somebody is trying to get out and its not a fake but certainly you know if something is you know we have Consumer Fraud laws to deal with somebody trying to actually sell something thats not not doesnt live up to what theyre promising so we dont want people to sell things messages with that are in fact fakes and sell a lie but you know things move the media cycles move so quickly that they get a lot of peril here you see these platforms say well were going to were going to get rid of thing because its a fake and maybe its not a fake so its tough its a sticky issue that were going to have to wrestle with you know indeed no easy answers here john will have a lot of former republican member of the Missouri Senate next week joining us good to have you on today. All right thank you crosstalk looks at whats next for syria but an ongoing crisis in the northern provinces for u. K. Views though how will the code of orus affect Global Supply chains find out next investigating. Point adoption is driven by banks failing and country sailing and now in lebanon theyve got a huge crisis and of course big plans come to the rescue. Below in welcome to cross talk are all things are considered im Peter Lavelle russia and turkey negotiate deescalation regarding what is next for syria also coronavirus is it time to start rethinking the impact of globalization. Ross talking some real news im joined by my guest underneath me good i own he is a professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations we also have hes a political analyst and editor and interest me internet media project and in london we cross to our going to be here as he is a writer on Legal Affairs as well as editor in chief of the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate lets go to london 1st alex we had a stress test over syria particularly and we had the leaders of turkey and russia meeting and we came to a conclusion now it could be spun a lot of different ways but essentially the turks back down why. Well i think the back down for 2 reasons firstly the they found that militarily they were outmatched theyre not in a position to take on the syrian army and the Russian Air Force one on the same time and they were suffering casualties and i think that was one reason why they pulled back but the other reason was that they found that they had no diplomatic support or military support or Political Support from their western allies that the United States ruled out any military action in support of turkey they refused to send it to provide air cover for turkish troops and turkey found that instead of europe coming to turkey support the europeans instead were very critical of turkeys actions in libya and along the border with greece where turkey has been allowing refute g. s to move migrants to move in their efforts to enter europe so i think the turkish government and president gun made the correct decision in the circumstances which is that turkey really was not in a position to advance and to throwback
