egypt because egypt reason now i'm on the way democratic choice over trump corporate law joining us as we try to find out want to party. britain from our banker and sail away from the e.u. as it heads into the uncharted waters of brigs it with a brewing mutiny from both scotland and northern ireland. as fears over the corona virus outbreak grow people around the globe reporter spiking discrimination against chinese people. and it's a race against time to save a one year old boy's life as his parents try to raise the millions of dollars needed for the world's most expensive medicine.

joining us this is r.t. international. in just a few hours from now britain's divorce from the e.u. will become complete with the brig's it guillotine falling on a 47 year partnership on the eve of britain's departure of british euro files and anger falls gathered in london and brussels to mourn in the belgian capital a square was illuminated in you need jack colors as bands played british music iconic figures like sherlock holmes were seen at the gathering in london a pro we stood outside parliament in a show of sadness would britain sets a walkout of the easy exit doors at 11 pm sharp local time a storm of uncertainty is growing about what the future holds his party's done the balkans with. big day is here but u.k. is finally divorcing the e.u. after 3 and a half years of seemingly endless negotiations that lays ministerial trips back and forth between lot of brussels we now have the unique opportunity of witnessing the broad. sit unicorn rex it means brix it and we're going to make

a success story of breaks that deal breaks it breaks it breaks it breaks it breaks it way why does it look like nothing's changed well just because you can't see bricks it doesn't mean it hasn't happened or the u.k. isn't about to dive headfirst into single life any time soon for now and they'll be no new relationships or partners divorce is pretty tough and i'll take some time to get over things which is why they'll be an 11 month long therapy bore transition period where the u.k. and the e.u. will talk about the new relationship that means for now the u.k. stays in the comfort zone of the single market the customs union and the budget the 1st day when they'll stop co-habiting and go their separate ways will be january the 1st 2021 if there are no delays so despite the u.k. staying for a little while it'll be like renting a room in

a house where you can live there and help with bills except you'll have no say in any house matters british m.p.'s will be sent home and won't take part in any decisions and definitely no union jacks allowed what about our national flags we're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future so working with you please sit down resume your seats put your slags away you're leaving and take them with you if you are leaving now was. so what exactly is the deal what will the u.k. gain and lose the 1st to go next year it will be the single market and the customs union but the u.k. will be able to find new friends negotiate new global trade agreements e.u. regulations go out the window for example g.m. food companies like buyer which brought monsanto in 2018 aren't allowed to develop or sell new genetically modified products in europe or the you kate. breck's it

could change all that or the biggest bricks that blockage was northern islands the question of border and customs check seemed almost impossible to resolve both sides argued until the cows came home. compromises a stalling with tween to falls says stephen fry at least unless it seems your northern island the plan is for belfast to stay in the u.k. customs there are 3 what follow e.u. customs rules the border won't be here but somewhere here in the irish sea so everyone should be happy and if they're not belfast can vote to change things after 4 years then there's the question of fair play brussels wants a level playing field in any trade agreement that means definitely no massive tax

breaks havens subsidies or crushing labor and environment standards basically the e.u. is worried it's losing a member and gaining a competitor right across the channel get on your no need in we will do our this in the knowledge that with the departure of great britain a potential competitor will of course emerge for us there is to see in addition to china and united states of america there will be great britain as well the talks have both sides well reads it's back to the drawing board on workers' rights for the regulations and many more questions and businesses are jittery especially with sajid javid tough talk there will not be alone months we will not be a rule we will not be in the single markets and we will not be in the customs union and we will do this by the end of the year across the channel the neighbors seem more optimistic that a deal can be reached diluted. if we want to be complete. so that everyone is clear

about our intentions on the european union side there will be 0 tariffs 0 quotas 0 dumping them but it's not all smooth sailing while the northern ireland situation seems result for now at least scotland is seriously thinking about it so scarce it and planning a 2nd independence referendum this stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. renew is reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over their future that mandate says that it is for the scottish parliament nort a westminster government to say whether and when this should be a new referendum on independence with so many unknowns the brits might have agreed that at least some special bricks accordions would be a good idea to market historic events and spend some taxpayers' cash surely money could bring everyone together and not what it comes to bricks that

a fully fledged war is on the way hash tag breaks it 50 p. 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 national ease and debilitating control freakery so the government prefers to spend time and money and it's pathetic breasted $50.00 pants and the so called breck's it 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. a big zit can don't talk is expected to be projected on to downing street while briggs it is plan a party in parliament square professor of law and government tom brooks and soon to be ex briggs it party m.e.p. nathan girl gave us their take on the seismic change for the u k. the u.k. is going to go in one direction then the e.u. 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 if the e.u. offered us a horrible deal because they want to maintain control or 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 preparations 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 the 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

think we can expect more extensions to come and much of a break if any. first 2 cases of corona virus have been confirmed in russia or into chinese nationals the day the world health organization declared an international health emergency saying some countries simply aren't prepared to deal with the outbreak i'm declaring a public close emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of call a number of voters let me be clear this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china on the contrary w.h.o. continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak. the world health organizations emergency committee has cautioned countries against stigmatizing behavior was increased global discrimination is being reported against

people from china where the virus originated with more here's artie's. borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing sero 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 new 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 or old familiar 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 talked to the other day she dropped out her daughter and her daughter was just having a bad day she's 3 years old and. the daycare teacher kept saying if she said she'll k. 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 i had one friend that a colleague of hers went around to everybody who was asian in her office and says are you trying to lose our usual 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 headline saying yellow alert and yellow peril and the internet. did what it does best made

everything worse if we could all agree not to read this things like the coronavirus in china wouldn't happen just see it cooked the virus will die soon because it's made in china. i just want to mask to protect myself from this corona virus but it's made in china so am i playing myself. when it disgustingly ironic that people are being racist towards asian people as they get in the coronavirus and back in the colonial era white people literally in this is a country and killed thousands of indigenous people online jokes and puns adding to the mocking of the chinese cultural habits but the asian communities fighting back with a hash tag i am not a virus we're already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our

class people's everyday away from us it's 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 so. 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 that the flu killed 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 toronto 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 and 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 meanwhile the u.s. commerce secretary is under fire for comments made during

a live interview in which he said the corona virus outbreak will boost the u.s. economy. but i want to talk about a victory over a very unfortunate very millings disease but the fact is that i think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs in north america was on the secretary's comments i highly. logically questionable an exhibit that was standard and humanity for the sufferings of the nose and people epidemic in china that's not really necessarily to more jobs in the united states as you claim the u.s. china relations is not really a sewer sum game mother nature we are already missing but it happens i was aware of even more even though it's come to rival it's always and got me a story that death rate is only controlled intro to only 2.2 percent right now compared to now i can 6 percent in china and 70 percent in hong kong back in 2003 so i can temporarily. understandable you see people act out in europe. looking for

somebody as to hey look at the spanish flu that kills millions it's not me has to hate spanish seems china have already i think about it any sequence of their lives could be treated like a typical threw in the future best scenes have already been invented a few days ago and you'll be out in the market next to yours. so it's come for you this hour the family of a one year old russian boy with a red medical condition desperately trying to raise money for the medicine he needs and it's no mean feat it's the world's most expensive story after the break. welcome to max kaiser plentiful survival guide. looking forward to your.

your current coast of chronic spinal muscular atrophy therapy it's very difficult to say what a fair price it all depends on what the distribution is going to be despite all these the large. investment costs it's very difficult for people to really know how much is actually a return on investment and how much is just pure profit so i think. we've got a bit of a broken system right now is 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 where onward and we know all that increasing numbers of drug companies are charging these very excessive prices and if we don't do something about them then it's going to cause this to do inability old access to health care for literally millions of people will be called

into question there is no point in having medical innovation and have a new medicines if they're priced so high that the patients that need and can't get access there are not too many s.m.a. diagnosed people around the world that is the order affects one in 6000 to one in 10000 people but each of them or rather their families in every corner of the planet will have to struggle to get expensive treatment trying to strike a balance between hope that it could be cured and fear that they might not have enough time or enough money. hearty from moscow. palestine to sing another day of public anger over donald trump's plan to bring peace to the region.
