some lawmakers are profiting from the crisis republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee richard burr is one of them researchers to produce true reports he allegedly dumped $1700000.00 worth of stocks in mid february these were shares in the travel and leisure industry one of the hardest hit economic sectors one political observer put it this way he is trading is you know a significant amount of money in a very short period of time all selling stocks that were right coronavirus questions have also been asked about trades made by several other senators including the georgia senator kelly lefler who sold stock on generally the 2. and he pulled the same day off a close senate health committee briefing democratic senator dianne feinstein also traded stocks in this period though she contends that was a decision taken by her financial adviser you would look at whether those senators made unusual transactions during that period or whether this was part of their normal buying in sally and if it's not doesn't amount to a significant amount of money or if it is as you said par for the cour

and full coverage tonight on al-jazeera of course right now though a look at the weather with richard and flooding in rio yes i mean it's not entirely unexpected events come out the time the effect is quite a wet month across rio but we've had this an area of low pressure enough frontal system affecting the city commit some really heavy rain now the system is actually still there and i we can see it get into the clear up process because the heaviest the rain was cheering the course of sunday seen see the sort of effects the brain produced and quite a bit of devastation really just showing the extent of the running water through the city where things are to say are gradually expected to improve and of course let's not forget that rain is need in that part of the world the demand for water is great so the reservoir swards some polar will take any rain which is going into the shower it is moving a little bit more and not direction over the next 12 to 24 hours a real source in the potential for showers both in the showers which do feel will be considerably lighter and indeed that low pres

the group that conducted trades so don't hold group would include richard burr the head of the intelligence committee and it also would include senator kelly plus lawyer and so the question is whether or not they should be investigated for that behavior what also includes dianne feinstein a democrat you didn't mention her name what did you mention her name and i think she's a very honorable person by the way so i'm not but you know it's interesting that you mention 2 people but you don't mention one that happens to be a democrat or a senator should they be you know because i have to look at it possibly but i find them to be honorable people the matter will now be referred to the senate ethics committee which will decide whether these trades constituted unethical if not criminal behavior mike hanna i'll just era washington i can speak now to daniel lacquers in toronto daniel so the borders between the u.s. canada and mexico have now closed what level of disruption is that likely to have. well both sides the canadians and the americans are saying they want to minimize the disruption clearly t

richard and that's about. it like you're there with a bit later on here he. saw the bubbles you know and he could not very think with think and smell your wrists and to tell you that. you know who are there just and that's how they try to get. somebody. i can to that's a maverick i would be straight you would never get very wide just used in cuts which is also kind of. that's why i like it i'm used to. my new cherry yeah. takes me back. in law so these shops that are chips called believing the sold from cambodia trade duncan were all countries where why the harvesting is bad. i doesn't come from here i thought it's in the good but nobody want to tell the truth when i ask them to keep telling. i bake it legally. but when you ask about the government or how it happened. how good we're getting to that on top of all the people. so you're saying that they smuggle it to the bank gets here. they must they must know somebody inside. i'm trading on systems around here i was born in qatar but poking around too much into it in southeast asia could be dangerous none of u

who have been coming here for her younger brother ben a woman from richard i mean i rushed through them there with me so you know they're . not the only ones wife no one escapes the right of the neighborhood committees these workers along with local communist party branches manage the quarantine procedures and they're going from are they not only grant entry and exit passes but report people with a fever all those who go outside without a mosque everyone is checked even this couple who have lived here for the possible news although they died the odds you know. really you aren't sick and don't want to play what you think and they are. they are now finding out your fellow human. would never never forgive me back until. now that you can you cannot have. we refused entry without the necessary pass so we try another into. the right. moment and says you can't have on the one meeting but you can handle living with her or you could be. living in beijing these days means spending a. all of your time at checkpoints our driver is getting worried about being able to return hard. we try one what int

surreal situation this is an unprecedented crisis in this country's recent history where look is that's richard internet.

i live speak to richard good stay now who's a democratic strategist he joins us live from washington d.c. our studios there thank you for being with us so all eyes on michigan on tuesday on 125 delegates up for grabs there we have a 2 horse race now but bernie sanders in urgent need of a victory do you think michigan could be the state where he gets that well it doesn't appear that it's likely that he will win and we know that from the polls that frankly with each passing day have gone more and more in joe biden's favor remember this was a state that bernie sanders beat hillary clinton in 2016 in the primaries it was a big surprise for sanders to win and he desperately needs michigan and again by all accounts it looks like a by this poise not just to win but actually win fairly handily in michigan tomorrow so jesse jackson's endorsement of bernie sanders is not going to help in michigan. well to a certain extent with all due respect to jesse jackson you know he had his political heights back in the eighty's and kamel harris an african-american senator and cory booker an african-ameri

bullet she's i mean will it survive or no way if we talk you know we will get a ball or so we're left to richard pointed out it's true exactly but do people in liberia know that in fact this was because he's a health care workers and this is why i think we always leave in a hurry because it looks like even the health workers have not been educated enough this is the time that i would love to ask questions to hold the governments to account so she gave birth she had the baby this woman had a baby but died because they nobody would touch her because she needed an operation and they thought she is an ebola survivor we cannot torture fleeted we cannot play with her blood we might get ebola and these people who a health workers now if health workers can behave like that what about those at home so i think this is where it is important to have a program like these for us to rewind and see where it went wrong and hopefully just turn things around and change it for the future when i think we all let the people of liberia and the people of that's a bridge on guinea and say i learned down and i think now

let's move on to the weather richard is standing by with news of another bout of flooding in the dominican republic yes just over a week ago we had some really heavy rain cool some real problems across the region and i think really the issue we have is that we still got full rivers and still waters streaming off the mountains and we've got another slow moving weather system much like the previous one the flooding isn't as extensive but never less you see the rivers are absolutely full to overflowing and we have seen some damage resulting from the flooding which is occurred just look at the moment at least we've got this area of rain across the on of hispaniola of the split into dominican republic and haiti haiti doesn't look to be faring too badly some showers yes but most of the heavy rain is for the dominican republic side now some of the forecasts are from choose day to wednesday you can see a decrease in the manner of rain coming down says a gradual improvement expected across the islands but we'll keep an eye on it and see if it progresses but certainly it shouldn't cause too many pro
