By the u. S. Military going to discuss all that coming up all right its time to use i. Q. Its a move no one seen in decades on monday oil prices plunged into the negatives prompting President Trump to make this announcement were looking to put as much as 75000000000 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out it would be 1st time in a long time its been good for the rate brace. Now adding that much oil is a major task but where do you store it meantime Oil Prices Continue their downward spiral today for more on all of this lets bring in our fronsac shes been following this story and this is the 1st time in history right that that oil has dropped below 0 right now and you know this is really a domino effect all from the coronavirus now people have these stay at home orders so people are theyre driving less no ones flying anywhere so you have all this extra oil not being used and theres only so much oil the world store and. Were already bumping up against the limits of Storage Capacity and thats why were continuing to see the price to continue to sink now as for storing that much oil the department of energy is currently trying to lease some 77000000. 00 barrels of Available Space in the Strategic Petroleum reserve created after the 1973 oil embargo now cheap oil leads to cheaper prices at the pump which is a big win for customers but data shows gas is down 50 percent right now compared to this time last year but again the demand is at an all time low as one oil industry analyst explains this is a no win situation you will be going through is going through. A list of best. Jobs. I know analysts say that the direct impact is going to be purely in terms of the job loss that they forecast with companies that are going through their bankruptcies because they cant sustain these low prices or because they are going to have to cut down production because they wont have be able to sell the oil at that low price and for a lot of these Oil Producers cant shut these wells down fast enough opec in the g 20 production their cuts are are happening what in may so now you have saudi arabia and opec talking about moving that date up now they are and actually another big oil producer here russia actually they saw the same effects too with the ruble dropping in value overnight but russian president Vladimir Putin his office says that this is this should not be looked at from an apocalyptic angle he says now putin says that there is no plan as of this moment to set up another call with President Trump to look over the Oil Market Situation but it could be arranged quickly one analyst points out to fix the situation the biggest producers russia and saudi arabia they would reduce the amount of oil that theyre offering to clients across the world listen here. Should. Gradually create some kind of what would per share on. One. Montreux find programs comes for. Months. 6 months from now now u. S. Oil Companies Like chevron so that they will reduce their output but marshall a commodities trader was quoted in the wall street journal saying this quote this will be a huge wake up call for complacent Oil Company Chiefs if they do nothing and sit there like rabbits waiting to be hit by a car theyll be hit i wouldnt be surprised to see more layoffs its got serious now so again some analysts project this wont get cleared up for another 6 months milla but some actually project this will go all the way into 2021 meantime President Donald Trump just order the Energy Secretary and treasury secretary to come up with a plan to get funding to the u. S. Oil and gas industry as crude Oil Continues to sink in price manilla when is all of this going to and. Thank you for filing that report things. Right while many countries have taken a hit because of code 19 india has had a mixed bag of experiences some of criticized the lock down measure imposed on the countrys population of some 1300000000 just a few weeks ago forcing migrant laborers to travel back home on foot india has been reporting low numbers though which some say has to do with factors ranging from the climate to relatively little testing testing happening but on monday a record high number of new cases were reported now one indian state looks like the mirror opposite of the rest of the country and that is the southwestern state of kerala where the slogan break the chain has helped mobilize the population to flatten the curb so joining us to discuss this important topic is historian and author. Thank you for being with us so carolina doesnt have nearly as many new cases per day compared to other Indian States you wrote that it has much to. Do with its left wing government and Civil Society organizations mobilizing the masses of volunteers to help make Hand Sanitizer and face coverings cleaning public facilities etc does it look like the motive government may be willing to take a page from careless example here. Well it is nice to be with you the 1st thing to see if they care there is a spirit of 35000000. 17000000 almost 17000000 women or half 1000000 of them a member of what were doing. Its an extraordinary state because people organize into trade unions remains organizations walker do all kinds and when the last nudes came from or what was believed to be some kind of virus i mean this. Needs to be reined in to actually you know shes a star. And Hearst Einstein evidence. Related to all of the groups who act you know very swiftly the speed going to the direction probably group started in direction. And senate. Ross who right do you think im going to National Action and mainstream what im going to go when this really hared. You know number of action. Number of people who died very low and b. J. On the day that Narendra Modi announced a partial curfew the carolina government announced a 270000000. 00 relief package that included free food loans to families through the States Womens cooperative that you just mentioned 2 months of pension payments and even suspending a loan and utility payments among some some of the other incentives happening in kerala so what kind of lessons do you think the United States and perhaps even other countries can take away from the state of carolina. Frankly i dont want to read around the bush government looking at it is that going to governor and theyre pretty. With the well being of the people so where is the government. Sensually millions of Migrant Worker goes wont you know you are to believe we dont really have any dollars to where you are going to get anything on your behalf was the i didnt do it government going to get a government ahead of you different better you. Probably should probably have. A good very simple things you know things that shouldnt be done by any. Government for instance in every single Group Governing in unison it created Community Insurance so that people who have a product arent buying food just because all the movement of those who want to be because holmes i mean theres a sense of giving in these lesser cream governments that i really want to run yeah its sounds like they really care about each other as neighbors theyre the way people should be and that the humanitarian angle of s. And lastly. How do you how do you compare carolus experience to this pandemic versus the rest of the country where modi is government has issued you know very harsh lockdowns and has done you know what people would criticize a very limited measure as in curbing the outbreak. You see its important for people to understand that in india china are one and a half 1000000000 people who almost our population here we can study should this is very different from china or will you just milling it is much higher so in india the government doesnt. Really create all of these leave it and when and under what the government has done nothing and im very very what are you going to have i mean like situations in india well have all grads the situation is only going to get worse because this more the government is dallas there were very simple things like the need to be able to eat a meal or 2 meals or i mean 3 new. You looked at a legacy that government was all about the on back tracing and were on whats. Unfortunate we have to leave it right there. Thank you so much for sharing the insight on carola today. The unprecedented peace deal between the United States and the taliban brought about hope that it could bring an end to the longest war in u. S. History but continued fighting a delay in talks and then the latest accusations against the United States are raising questions about the success of this agreement are his Rachel Blevins is joining us from the newsroom with more details to this rachel whats going on well manila just weeks after the United States signed a historic peace deal with the taliban the group is now accusing washington of violating the terms on numerous occasions according to a document from the Talibans Political Office the us military violated the deal at least 50 times richer in march 9th and april 10th this includes 33. 00 drone strikes in 1000. 00 provinces 9 rocket attacks and 8 night raids the attacks killed at least 35. 00 fighters and 65. 00 civilians now the timeline of the attacks is both before and after the United Nations called for a global ceasefire in response to the spread of covert 19 the un secretary general called on all parties to pull back from hostilities silence the guns stop bigger tillery and the airstrikes but that was not the case in afghanistan following a weeklong reduction in violence at the end of february which was the lead up to the signing of the peace deal reports claim taliban fighters have since carried out more than 2000 and tacks and afghan and nato forces of carried out more than 400. 00 in response to the claims of spokesperson for u. S. Forces in the country said the United States remains committed to deal with the taliban and in accordance with the written terms of the agreement they will continue to support and defend the Afghan Security forces while the u. S. Has held on to a clause in the deal that allowed them to continue what they deem as Counterterrorism Operations the taliban has claimed the attacks carried out were in rural areas not outlawed by the deal and it has a q q is the act in government of delaying a crucial prisoner swap. As one of the 1st major steps to implement the peace deal the taliban agreed to release 1000 prisoners and the Afghan Government agreed to release 5000 in multiple phases the taliban called for the release of its top commanders 1st saying they were needed to identify others however the Afghan Government said it would release the top commanders 1st but only if they went back to prison after helping to identify members when 100 taliban prisoners were released earlier this month the group argued it had no way to verify who they were or if their release was legitimate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the threat it poses to prisoners and close quarters has increased the fear that the deal could fall through if there is a break out in prison and a significant number of taliban fighters die now that he still has also been thrown into chaos by rivaling leaders in the Afghan Government attempting to claim power in addition to threatening to cut more than 1000000000. 00 in Financial Aid as the coronavirus threatens to spread across the country secretary of state my claim the trumpet ministration is also considering a full pullout of troops if the deal is not secured while the top u. S. General in afghanistan has admitted that the war cannot be won through military fighting the latest claims of continued bombing by the u. S. Raised questions about just what washington is accomplishing as the longest war in u. S. History continues reporting in the newsroom Rachel Blevins our chief. And irans foreign minister meets with syrias president Bashar Al Assad in damascus both expressing their displeasure with the u. S. Sanctions on their countries were going to discuss it next and later at sports h. Q. Regina hamm shares the story of one runner who decided to tackle the Boston Marathon in his own unique way solo runner check it out will be right back. Is youll be via reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or remain in the shallowness. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. What happens to her family and daughters in florida no mother and daughter is buried in a cemetery in meaning this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be. Shocked shocked as far as i feel. We dont know shell just screw up on. The end of this trial unfortunately you. Will still not know what childress. Wearing their face masks and keeping social distance irans foreign minister zarif traveled to syria to meet with president Bashar Al Assad the pair both condemned the u. S. For continued and increased sanctions on their countries and believe the west is exploiting the coronavirus pandemic for political gain but the Trump Administration has attempted to end all that chatter by saying last month that humanitarian supplies were exempt from sanctions so here to weigh in on this former pentagon official Michael Lewis so mike we know that the u. S. Has ramped up sanctions against tehran in the last few weeks amid this pandemic however pompei out says humanitarian aid isnt included in this and we know iran though has come out and said they would never accept aid from the u. S. So what is the point of all this political back and forth rhetoric. I think the United States is trying to show that it is indeed a humanitarian country by offering this assistance but its always going to come with. A lot of Strings Attached now one thing that is is occurring that isnt being talked about is that the pompei who represents the neo conservative wing of the Trump Administration actually have been talking increasingly about regime collapse in iran and weve seen increasing efforts toward the center just as israel has stepped up its bombing of of iranian targets in syria in recent weeks so the question then is whats going on now that israel has got more of a unified government a unity government as it calls itself that now can start looking outward and Start Playing their their usual games again and what im concerned about. Is that the this release now will use this time to try to coax the United States in toward military action. And this could be done through iraq and thats thats seems to be where the trend is is heading and just as United States publicly talks about trying to offer this humanitarian assistance and now i will get back to the subject of syria and iran but you mentioned lebanon and our or rather were hearing have of israel shelling into lebanon do you know anything about that right. It would probably be its probably a very recent occurrence that probably is aimed at. Targets this this is part of the intensification that i just referred to them and this is something that im watching very very closely so are. Some of my colleagues from overseas who are watching this development very very closely this could portend taking advantage of this coronavirus and pandemic to try to take political slash military action at a very vulnerable time now and assad has said that coronavirus has actually shown the wests moral failure maybe you can interpret that for us but has this pandemic curbed the fighting in syria. I think its put a damper dattner on it somewhat because of the spacing thats required and people are coming down with corona virus. In the us and the pandemic fashion in the refugee camps and in highly congested areas such as it live province aleppo that all those all those places where you have a high concentration of people as well as the internal the internally displaced persons camps and this is something where. You could see a massive increase a dramatic increase in. Not only people chechen the virus but also dying from it because theres just no other way in and they lack the military that they lack the the medical assistance thats necessary certainly the incubators the ventilator in order in order to the ventilators in order to deal with this and some real hardship cases and a lot of those people are only theyve got secondary. Health problems and the conditions in which they live or are. You having been to lebanon many many times and visited a number number of the camps and i can attest to that because sanitary conditions are are putrid and im sure you have been right on top of each other and they have no where to go right right i mean right outside youre going to get hit by a bomb a
