Coronavirus: oil price collapses as demand falls further – BBC News

Published

on



The price of oil has plunged further as the coronavirus pandemic leads to falls in demand around the world. In the United States some oil prices turned negative – with oil producers in effect paying buyers to take supplies.

Meanwhile some countries are continuing to ease the lockdowns they put in place due to the pandemic. New Zealand is relaxing rules on local travel, following some easing of coronavirus restrictions in Germany and Denmark.

In the UK Boris Johnson is said to be very wary of relaxing restrictions too soon due to concerns it could lead to a second wave of coronavirus infections. The Prime Minister is continuing his recovery from the virus at Chequers, his country residence.

In the United States protesters have taken to the streets demanding an end to the lockdown. The US is feeling the economic effects of the pandemic, with unemployment soaring – more than 22 million Americans have put in new claims for benefits in the last month.

    'You don't mix oil and water to make pace; the oil may burn but only on the surface, after it completely burns, the oil disappears but the water stays' ( like a magic trick) physics is beautiful when you understand it, science makes sense when you keep practicing… yet for so many logic is missing

    People were freaking out when there were 1000s of cases in the country, now there are well over a 100 thousand with 10s of thousands dead and people are looking at reopening everything.
    Closing down with thousands infected – reopening with hundreds of thousands infected
    One doesn't need to be a nobel price laureate in the field of epidemiology to know that this idea is desperate and will equate to many more deaths.

    I feel Trump has really failed his people. He need to assist them financially for them not to go into these scared frenzies. He needs to reassure them and show he cares for their well being. I see nothing, he does nothing, but there are those who are totally devoted to this guy.

    I think protesters and conspiracy theorists should help on the front line and find out the truth for themselves.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
