is an insult to all of us who want to remain the brags that 50 pounds marks the acceleration of the new iraq of dogma nation elisa and debilitating control freakery soon the government prefers to spend time and money and it's pathetic breasted $50.00 pants and the so-called bracks and festival rather than try to sort out the problems the bracks it creates well with so much left to be settled before bricks it lost means of bricks it at least we can finally see the promised bricks it unicorn even if it looks slightly more like a goat with a horn. while a clock with a countdown to the moment the u.k. officially leaves the union is expected to be projected on to downing street riggs it is will gather in parliament square to celebrate the departure we spoke to professor of law and government tom brooks and soon to be ex m.e.p. from the briggs it party nathan guild to get their insights on the brakes of developments. the u.k. is going to go in one direction the e.u.
7:08 am
will continue in the direction it's going in because it will not lend its lesson now what can britain do about it our prime minister boris johnson must be fair he must maintain and uphold the promises he made in the general election in december and when it comes to it is the e.u. offering us a horrible deal because they want to maintain control over he must walk away and say well no deal i suspect it will very much be. in name only i don't think there'll be much of divergence if any at all from the european union the operations have stopped so that's a sign that they are planning to have a deal of some kind the only way they're going to get a widespread comprehensive deal and everything they need to get a deal on by the end of the years if there isn't much change to what the current situation is we were promised that freedom of movement would end this year and the government has confirmed the last 48 hours it will continue until june 2021 so i

people from china where the virus originated and he's done it has the story. borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing seram virus which has infected hundreds in china has now reached the united states villages have started to physically block themselves off from the capital and need cases have been confirmed around the world including germany and japan. in the contest of deadliest bugs the new coronavirus doesn't even come close to the order from merely a flu but tables turn dramatically when it comes to the ability to strike fear in the masses and this fear is also bringing out the racist in some people with the

chinese diaspora in canada among those at the receiving end our friend of mine has told the other day she dropped on her daughter and her daughter was just having a bad day she's 3 years old and the daycare teacher kept saying is she sick is she ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't traveled or we've been back to a certain amount of time and i had one friend a colleague of hers went around to everybody who was asian in her office and says are you trying to lose are you through china are you chinese has become a frequent question faced by canadians of asian descent chinese school students whose parents have recently visited china have been urged to stay at home for a while in france a local newspaper published this on its front page headlines saying yellow alert and yellow peril and the internet to klyce did what it does best made

people very away from minus 2020 what we should hope that our children wouldn't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern calls for self quarantine are being sounded all over the world by ordinary citizens and authorities alike such tactics against the virus have been made into a trend by big governments who have cut ties with china and by beijing itself which however says that the isolation measures are a necessary evil to stop the new disease in its tracks the purpose of the government is to put 2 lives and health of the people at the top of all priorities therefore i have been personally directing and deploying the epidemic prevention and containment work this time now it seems it's a matter of whichever comes 1st either the virus or the hype around it has to stop but who knows whether the outbreak of racism will also be halted the reality is
7:14 am
that the flu kills a lot more people ill people are comparing this to the sars outbreak sars killed 44 people in this country 41 people in my city alone the city of herat now are hit by cars last year. you know so the risk is much higher on the day to day life things 3500 people in canada die from the flu 70800 people a year die from air pollution so there are certainly rest that are much much higher that because we see them on the day to day will internalize those as miss right now in all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases of the coronavirus the odds of someone actually catching it are very very low and i think it's just fear based it's something that's unknown it's in the media there's a media frenzy so people have just reacted in a very illogical manner. squandering money on foreign

to say what a fair price it all depends on what the distribution is going to be despite all these large. investment costs it's very difficult for people to really know how much is actually return on investment and how much is just pure profit so i think we've got a bit of a broken system right now at the company appears to recognize the barrier the price presents its run in a yearly lottery with $100.00 days of the miracle treatment the in given for free a lottery where the prize is a child's life crisis old medicine at this level is a deeply worrying new reality for health systems right the way around the world and we know all that tracing numbers of drug companies are charging these very excessive prices and if we don't do something about it though then it's going to cause this has been a relatively old access to health care for literally millions of people will be called into question there is no point in having medical innovation and having new

7:23 am
questions. comeback moscow is to seek the extradition of a russian national jailed in fronts on charges of cyber fraud the russian foreign ministry has expressed concern over the way alexander of an extra was held 39 year old was secretly extradited to france and greece despite a similar request from russia. about practice that she dished on even the lawyer said that neither they nor the defended were given the floor the court did not take into account the state have been expelled weakened by 40 day hunger strike he was forced to stand during the whole session is this some new form of human rights in france he was even refused
7:24 am
a glass of water but we find such pressure on the defendant on acceptable from the phrase judicial and law enforcement bodies were determined to seek the handover of the suspect from france to russia and of course for his rights to be protected. kind of my question has been following this story for us joins me in the studio we mentioned briefly involves before tell us some more about the backbone of the story they will get to that just a moment but this has been dragging on for quite a while now since it's 127 seen since xander vinick was arrested in greece. on the request of the united states but the latest now he is in france and this would. be as a harley is talking about since his surprise surprise extradition from greece to france there's been one court date held in france it's going to happen just a week ago the court ruled that he should be in jail and in the french jail at
7:25 am
xander finicky they're accused. him all financial fraud in that country and now vinick he protested that decision saying that he's a human rights have been violated he's been incarcerated for a very long time and he's been on a hunger strike lately actually for 2 days and he said that he will remain on a hunger strike so what happened after that they decided to put him in a hospital according to his lawyer. the way he is right now it's a separate block and it's actually designed like a prison and he's got some independence they're looking after him all. the lawyer says also that so the legal team had unlimited access to their client so they have limited access to the indictments and. evidence files and here they were actually only allowed to have a conversation with him in
7:26 am
a jail cell for about 30 minutes now it's unclear at the moment how long alexander vinick will the spend in the french jail because the investigation is ongoing and one statistic ation is concluded we will find out the next court date and obviously their decision there after. an exam to be no french territory if his actions were illegal he was clearly conducting them from the church of russia therefore the investigative jurisdiction is in russia the investigation is being conducted for all crimes committed only internet regardless over an exhaustive uniques involvement apparently french investigators want to try their luck to see if he knows something. so i was going to nix lawyer one him one seems to be extradited and investigated in russia as soon as possible alexander victim self over all these years. that he once he is activities or any crimes of there are any to be
7:27 am
