will be complete with the brig's it guillotine falling on a 47 year partnership on the eve of britain's departure british euro falls' and european anglo files gathered in london in brussels to mourn the belgian capital a square was a looming natan union jack colors as bands played british music and when it figures like sherlock holmes were present to which night in london however a greggs it celebration party is set to take place in parliament square with britain set to walk out of the e.u.'s exit doors at 11 pm local time a storm of uncertainty is growing about what the future holds is daniel hawkins with more. very is here but it's finally divorcing the e.u. after 3 and of 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 brics it unicorn rex it means bricks. and we're going to make

a success of a story of break that deal 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 or 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 genetic we modified products in europe or the u.k. bret's it could change all that well the biggest brick. 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 2 falls says stephen fry at least unless it seems your northern ireland the plan is for belfast to stay in the u.k. customs territory but 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 herb is 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 that is to say 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 to go 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 blue 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 the stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. renu 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 it 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 bracks and festival rather than try to sort out the problems the bricks 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. the 1st 2 cases of corona virus have been confirmed in russia into chinese nationals on thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency thanks some countries are simply not prepared to deal with the outbreak i'm declaring a public close emergency of international concern. over the global outbreak of noble call

a number of voters let me be clear. this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china on the contrary douglas continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak the world health organizations emergency committee have cautioned countries against stigmatizing behavior as increased global discrimination is being reported against people from china where the virus originated articles donna 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 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 order from earlier 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 me 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 ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't travelled 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 headlines 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 that grown a virus in china wouldn't happen just see. 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 illnesses 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 very class people's everyday away from minus 2020 what we should hope that our children won't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern cools for self quarantine our beings. 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 window internalise those us 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 coronavirus outbreak will boost the u.s. economy. i don't 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 to 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 is not really necessarily to more jobs in the united states as you claim the us china relations is not really

a sewer. mother nature we are all in the same boat it happens elsewhere even more even though it's time to rival it's always as stories 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 it back in 2003 so i think a temporary. understandable you see people like that in europe. as to hey look at the spanish flu kills millions does not mean as to hate spanish seems china have already i think if i could be any sequence of their lives could be treated like a typical flu in the future best scenes have already been invented a few days ago and you'd be out in the market next to yours. at the time in the program the family of a one year old russian boy with a red condition are desperately trying to raise money for the medicine he needs and

that's no mean feat as it's the world's most expensive now story in just a few moments stay with us. live. in panama the pull of our history month long awaited both is absolute. panic itself moving to about. 2 hours in this way got to dog so hard not to think the mother decided to look at the work that i was and i know you still are going to get. this is the only thing that we do think is music because everybody fights in his ways. to. the floor you can defeat this bill frist whatever you have the ability to get that . but i think is this is the found that is

a look something needs. to . come back for the family of a one year old russian boy are fighting to save his life they're trying to raise the money needed to treat his rare condition but the medicine requires just happens to be the most expensive in the world maria for national reports. to more than just turned one most kids his age would have taken their 1st steps by now but to more hasn't he can seat either even rolling is a hard task right now he has

a rare disorder caused by a defective gene spinal muscular atrophy known as a semi without special medicine team or might never get the chance to blow 2 candles out on a birthday cake and based medicine is the most expensive drug in the world ever but a lot of bill now is $2400000.00 they made a discount it was $2.00 our life has turned into a nonstop crowdfunding marathon with limited time very limited time but time is against him more doctors say he has 12 months maximum otherwise even the most expensive drug ever want to be able to help at the time we spoke to his dead they had so far only managed to reach 10 percent of their goal for northrup and were of us that we have a goal we simply aim towards reaching this goal and we do not think about anything else but this goal and we are optimistic. when u.s.

regulators approved the gene therapy last may there was plenty of talk about how revolutionary it is it can save a life with a single injection but there was so much small talk about just why it is so incredibly expensive we have used value based pricing frameworks to prise all gas man around 50 percent less than multiple stablished benchmarks including the 2 in 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 these that 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 days of the miracle treatment been 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 ability old access to health care for military millions of people will be called into question there is no point in having medical innovation and having 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. r.t. from moscow. palestine is seeing another day of public anger over donald trump's plan to bring peace to the region. in ramallah demonstrators were met with tear gas after they started fires and 1000000000 village a group of protesters burned tires and try to break through a security barrier some even scaled the security wall to fly a palestinian flag from areas with rallies held all across the gaza strip local journalists fired reports from the area. we're hearing jabalya one of the key issues we're. crazy amounts of palestinians that come through just here today jack should the american position of the century because it

efforts to make it as difficult as possible for asylum seekers and refugees to arrive on insurance and will lead to more danger for those desperately seeking safety. greek officials say the floating barrier will help contain the increasing inflows of migrants it will be installed north of the island of less both where migrants often make their crossing over a relatively short stretch of water the barrier will be almost 3 kilometers long and more than one metre high greece has been struggling to cope with its refugee crisis how most 60000 people arrived by sea last year that's double the figure for 2018 human rights groups have condemned conditions of greek migrant camps with some holding many times more than them but they were designed for thousands of greek islanders have demanded their closure. yes. you have a well mean number of newcomers who have landed on greek islands has created

tensions with thousands of residents and business owners taking to the streets in protest the been demanding a much tougher line on migration from the government. was this you know you know we're trying to give a message around to the whole world that this can go on it can't go on anymore lesbos has had the load on their shoulders for 5 years this this is we're not we have nothing against the refugees and migrants she always have shown their solidarity all this time but we are asking for a change to government policy that should lead to the equal distribution of refugees and migrants. the migrants should go when the basis is simply the situation on the island is out of control 100 percent you can see for yourself what's happening so they're coming in and they're not leavin open the borders and so then got it's illegal garia germany you know my. own political analyst agree i believe the fault lies with amnesty international and the european union who left

greece alone to handle the crisis. but i want to ask where obviously the national was during the decade go for human suffering and the grab and go for human rights so that you must of all greek citizens i have a question bulletin as well one of them where they asked alan that is the good people to good human rights to the migrants the understood there should be if you raise if they can take it no more it's up to greece to handle. these shoes issue only its own i don't see any e.u. solely that him even if he you. open decided to open new explosives 'd again there would be lines even more immigrants that who tend to even more migrants to enter the e.u. and greece greece is not so this a nation born to the migrants. thanks to chasing off the international with ak at the top of the hour with the latest headline.

reading this and salutation. well well well talk watchers it appears that here in washington d.c. . the amidst all the distraction over the trump impeachment on these self-congratulatory pats on the back over how apparently robust the current us economy is both democrats and republicans have forgotten or you know chosen to ignore a little thing called 'd the deficit. but thankfully one group here on capitol hill hasn't yes the congressional budget office hasn't forgotten about the skyrocketing united states' national debt than the c.b.l. step forward on tuesday with a brutal prediction that the united states deficit will top one trillion dollars annually over the next 10 years ultimately reaching $1.00 trillion dollars in 2030. wow wow now that is truly a thing of beauty i mean you got it you got a serious you have to stand back in office at the sheer size of the failure by our

elected officials in both the white house and congress to actually you know employ a modicum of fiscal responsibility when you see numbers like $1.00 trillion dollars keep in mind that the predicted $1.00 trillion dollar deficit is equal to the entire federal government's 1999 budget yaz back when i graduated and the magnitude of this failure only gets deeper by brads the new york times reports that by 2030 the c b o also projects that the federal debt held by the public will surpass $31.00 trillion dollars which is about 98 percent of the forecast size of the nation's economy how my again as president of the committee for a responsible federal budget told the news media quote every year we set a new post war record that is a share of the economy every year the congressional budget office warns the debt is rising unsustainably ignoring what is staring us right in the fates is fiscal

malfeasance but you know my friends who has time to pay off the federal credit card when we have border walls to build because that's important trumps to impeach and the neverending thirst of course of the us military industrial complex to quench so much to do so little time now let's start watching the homes. if you want to know what's going on a cd you streaks you want to rustle she's going to show you what she sees see the prizes you always state and see you drone strikes mass graves oxen displays systemic deception is to late show but it should be some job as. welcome everybody to watching the hawks i am tired joining me today to bring us the big picture on the fiscal irresponsibility of the united states federal government is the host of the big.
