Healthcare professionals. Hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. Were covering all the latest coronavirus developments nationally and globally. Within the past hour, President Trump has tweeted that hell sign an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States because of what he called the attack from the invisible enemy a term he has used to describe the coronavirus. Also, in the us a key oil price has plunged below zero for the First Time Ever, because of the pandemic. Producers are now paying buyers to take supplies off their hands. A body representing Health Service trusts in england has warned that the the supply of face masks could be jeopardised if the uk government begins advising the public to wear them. Supplies of personal protective equipment are still in short supply in the uk. An raf plane has flown to turkey to pick up a delayed delivery. The number of people currently confirmed to have the coronavirus in italy has fallen for the first time. Officials announced a drop of 20, compared with the day before, with fewer people in intensive care beds. Well have more on all of that in a momemt but first that breaking news from the us on immigration. Lets get the latest from our our north america correspondent, peter bowes. Peter, what do you make of his tweet . Well, it is a surprise and it is a drastic move by the president if indeed he follows through on what he is saying. In this tweet, describing the invisible enemy, we know that is the expression he uses for coronavirus and we know we understand the implications for the american economy, 22 million americans have signed on front Unemployment Benefits over the last month so the consequences long term for the consequences long term for the economy look likely to be quite drastic and the recovery, a lot of economists year i saying could be quite slow on the one hand, its easy to understand the president s concerns about the job, this would indeed be quite an unprecedented move to suspend immigration. We didnt give much detail, not saying how long immigration would be extended for and there are already travel bands existing from china, from europe, and the borders with canada and mexico are both closed. To what extent mexico are both closed. To what exte nt d o mexico are both closed. To what extent do you think this is playing to his audience, knows that he wants to vote for him in november . Well, it certainly falls into the narrative that weve heard a lot from President Trump, indeed candidate trump as he was campaigning for the job, someone campaigning for the job, someone will be very tough on immigration andi someone will be very tough on immigration and i think its very likely that if he pursues this and suspends immigration, there will be both legal and political objections to what he is trying to do, especially from immigrants Rights Groups because this is a move that would have far reaching consequences and some might argue would also be damaging for the us economy and damaging for the us economy and damaging for business in terms of restricting the movement of people into the country. Simon, some states in the us have been calling and protesting about the lot down and the damages doing . Thats right. This decision of the president or announcement of the president comes at a time when some americans are complaining that the lockdown or at least the stay at home orders have been going on for too long. Some say there were unnecessary in the first place in campaigning to get those restrictions lifted and also at a time when some straights states are expected to slowly get back to normal. Weve seen beaches in california normal and florida opening up to people to an florida opening up to people to a n exte nt florida opening up to people to an extent and in georgia, some businesses opening from the end of this week, next week some restau ra nts of this week, next week some restaurants allowed to open. On the one hand, the country is slowly beginning to get back to normal but this new announcement for the president will certainly have far reaching implications for that recovery. We shall keep a close eye on him as today progresses. Thank you for telling us more about that tweet that came in the last hours. President trump is also brushed off concerns about all in the price of oil in the United States which sought trading at 37 a barrel at one point. That means producers we re point. That means producers were playing paying people to ta ke were playing paying people to take oil off their hands, something thats never happened before. Mr trump said the price would bounce back. Lets talk to our middle east business correspondence. Our middle east Business CorrespondentSameer Hashmi is in dubaifor us. People working in the oil industry said to me this is com pletely industry said to me this is completely crazy. Talk as to what happened. It sure is crazy, sally. Its unprecedented, historic, never before in the history of all oil trading has it fallen below zero. This was the benchmark which at one point fell and even touched two 50, closing up even touched two 50, closing up ataround even touched two 50, closing up at around 37. This particular price was for the contract the month of may which was expiring on tuesday. Buyers or traders in the market have to ta ke or traders in the market have to take the oil and a situation is such in the market that there is a huge oil supply. There is no Storage Capacity, especially in the United States. Some buyers some buyers have been renting out tankers to store oil. When they approach all these buyers, they started selling in panic because they didnt want to ta ke because they didnt want to take the oil because they cant keep it but if you look at the wti numbers forjune, it is still about 20 but that reflect what the actual demand is in the market. But we could be here in one month. But things dont progress in terms of the lockdowns around the world, the lack of demand for oil right now. If this expires injune, we oil right now. If this expires in june, we could oil right now. If this expires injune, we could see a similar flurry. Thats right. There are concerns. If you remember a few weeks ago, ten days ago, the cartel led by saudi arabia and russia decided unannounced they would be cutting 10 Million Barrels of oil per day from the first of may, which roughly tra nslates first of may, which roughly translates into 10 of current global supplies but the problem is because of the fallout of covid i9 where demand has dried up, and saudi arabia importing more oil, many experts in these fields feel the cuts are not enough and there is a glut. There needs to be deeper cuts. So there may be a situation a few weeks where russia and saudi arabia and probably President Trump is pushing it in to make deeper cuts. We shall watch this space. Good to talk to you. Thank you for your time. Thats something we will discuss in more detail a little later in this programme, ill be talking to a market trim to get his take on the dramatic fall in the price of oil. The uk governments Scientific Advisory committee will meet later to go through the measures to tackle the coronavirus pandemic including if people should be urged to wear masks when out of the home.

Here in london, this is now the seventh day in a row that those numbers have fallen so that means the balance between people going into hospital because they fallen ill and people going home because they are well again now is in the opposite direction so there are fewer people each day in hospital with covid 19.
