8:01 am
us with people just playing money and. bringing your news all hours of the day this is our national security and. let's head straight to the u.s. because that the democratic party has suffered a somewhat embarrassing night in the results of the fast major vote in the 2020 primary season with delayed due to a crippling technical glitch and the now not expected to be announced until tuesday evening 2 of the presidential hopefuls haven't waited to declare victory though. brings us the details well it's still early days to a lot of confusion the results have been delayed so they'll be coming but they'll be coming later nevertheless this is this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party this this is an awful start to the to the. nomination process because. statistically of people it's insignificant i mean
8:02 am
out of the 2000 almost 2000 delegates required to be nominated as the presidential candidate for the democratic party only has thought so you know it's a tiny amount the population is small it is very representative but. it is the 1st primary it is the 1st part it sets the tone sets the atmosphere if you win it it gives you a huge amount of momentum going forward because it's an example that people see that you winning in a jump overboard and for this to happen now apparently because of a technical glitch ease off we found inconsistency is in the reports in a free says of results in addition to the tech system has been used to tabulate results where oh so using 4 to some results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report fortunately no one's come out and blame the
8:03 am
russians yet but eventually down the line they'll they'll be a fall guys who think you know i can just play in the russians and nobody's going to prove you disprove you but the point is the point of this ad was at the center of this at the center of this mess the point of this app was to safeguard the primary the election safeguarded from russian meddling from foreign interference from hackers they drew tens of millions of dollars and to developing these apps and to develop the developing technology to protect themselves and what you have at the end of the day at the end of the day it all goes pear shaped the entire system is an embarrassment nothing's ready. this also a scandal brewing online course a lot of people lot of the candidates are very angry that this happened especially those that were projected to win but pete booted judge one of the one of the candidates he apparently bank funded co-founded may do nation. to the developers of
8:04 am
this application is a conspiracy theories brewing among people that don't support him saying that you know how convenient he was spared the embarrassment straightaway of coming in 3rd or 4th in this poll because because obviously that would be awful for any candidate nevertheless this is this is a good method this is this is awful for the entire democratic party this is. the worst part about it is that all the supporters of all the various candidates and now not only of the democrats but at each other the leading candidates they're saying you would have come in 3rd you would have come in 4th others are claiming victory with nothing to do with nothing to back it up. very ironic because this is exactly the sort of behavior that they used russia of committing that breaking news russian hackers try to hack wisconsin's election system russia's hacked into
8:05 am
a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin clan certainly looks like to begin with an eye towards openness president. isn't it the democrat paranoia about russia what caused them to develop these apps to safeguard themselves with technological far rules or what have you eventually that and their own incompetence was the downfall because russian hackers of never managed to stop an election to delay the results of a primary but an election in the united states. and france now a former spokesperson for a syrian armed group has been arrested on charges of war crimes and torture the jihad has lived in hungary for several months before being granted a student scholarship in ma say you'll forty's why only tipped off all of human rights pointed out his real identity sort of deep in the now looks at the loophole that allowed him and even the 1st place. torture kidnapping war crimes these are
8:06 am
just some of the charges brought against a syrian using on a student visa he went by the name of mushed enough may in france back in syria he was is a lowish no ordinary stews and t. is said to have once been jayashri islamic press secretary previously nor did his freedom fighters the hardline islamist group in fact curried out a reign of terror in the eastern ghouta suburb of damascus. we're. ringback in he said linked in profile he describes himself as being specialized in security and terrorism affairs with
8:07 am
a focus on syria he boasts of an impressive academic background with bunches degrees but not one diversity's including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o. of the syrian news monitoring network trace of the allegations of torture or forced in this moment of children raising his history seems upped given that all islam ceased to exist back in 2018.
8:08 am
as the battle for eastern ghouta played out the french government said it was concerned about a grave violation of human rights and it called for a cease fire now while it acknowledge the presence of just harvests it also accused president assad of using the ongoing conflict as a fig leaf to wipe out any opposition. the syrian regime and its allies are brandishing the fight against jihad his fighters the need for which no one is disputing as just if occasion of an offensive aimed at entirely different goals its real intentions are indeed to annihilate any normal position and break the morale of civilians by indiscriminately massacring them following that offensive in eastern guta by the syrian army generational islam was talked balt last year a complaint was filed to the courts in france and josh islam and its senior members and no wanted as one criminals. the complaint filed in june 29th teen was built on
8:09 am
over 3 years of documentation of the crimes perpetrated by jaish al islam summary executions kidnappings and the systematic use of torture the group targeted people suspected of complicity with the regime but also ordinary civilians accuse of not applying the shari'a imposed by the group rigorously enough the international federation for human rights says the arrest of most enough where in mass a paves the way for the 1st investigation of the rebel groups crimes others may be hoping that arrests such as this will help shed more light for crimes committed by opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. altie paris we spoke to political analyst and mccovey and he believes that unless the government handles it properly there will be a lot of fear and anger. once you enter the european. and you could go more or less
8:10 am
where you want there are no border controls how we entered hungary would be an interesting question to know that what is. prosperous and this in this situation is that he entered legally he wasn't even hiding he was living in the y. which is a neighborhood in the center smack in the center of more state studying in france with no problem whatsoever that means the police cannot do their job properly today in western europe they don't even know who's in the country we've gotten so low as to say that we don't even we don't even know if you got the means to stop terrorists we don't even know if terrorists are in the country we know there are some but we don't know how many and it's you know it's already difficult capturing those who are not even in hiding so i think definitely this is going to hurt the government because this is very bad press very bad press having a terrorist. somebody accused of terrorism entering illegally come from their country go in with legally to university this is very bad press so there might be some coups in the following days but i think unfortunately if the government doesn't handle the process of immigration legal immigration illegal immigration and
8:11 am
the secret service it's the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time. a lot across the channel britain is rolling out the green carpet as the country's energy a regulator has unveiled plans to scrap gas heating up but thousands of electric cars on the road or by 2050 baht that all war it will hit the most vulnerable in the pocket where that free house in the country is set to pay that little bit more as a teen shot dead with stashed also explains that's not the only concern. well this is it the moment we've all been waiting for the beginning of the end of carbon emissions as the u.k. could be on the path to net there are a monday the u.k.'s office for gas and electricity markets or of gem presented its new action which is aimed at transforming the country's infrastructure to make it more eco friendly britain has come a long way it is decarbonise faster than any other major economy but we must go
8:12 am
further particularly on heat and transport we are taking an approach that recognizes that our role protecting consumers includes a cheering net 0 it is now vital that the energy industry rises to the challenge and demonstrates how it will work with the government and off jim to decarbonise britain's energy system at lowest cost well it's a $9.00 point plan and if you don't drive an electric car yet you may be in trouble as under the scheme 10000000 petrol diesel cars will be replaced with a green immobile and for the time being you better keep your winter jackets on because gas at your heating is to be ripped from every single home well the plan also wants to shift towards renewable sources of energy like solar and wind which is great news for g.d.p. then with all the rain so how much will this cost though well as our demographic would put it you can't put a price on saving the globe can year and doesn't have a direct answer either the recognizes there are tradeoffs to overcome such as fairly spreading the cost of
8:13 am
a low carbon energy system between today's and tomorrow's consumers when apparently this 9 point plan is all down to you so it could all go up in smoke when you hear how much it can set you back well the rollout alone of electrical vehicles could be 2000000000 pounds a year which is the equivalent to 30 pounds on every household bill. yes cham would be a place to do so and i spend all my energy these days so i think she'd be strong if it is going to be good for the planet if we do have to pay a bit more money than i live would be to in a freezing cold tap system so that's my. maybe a little bit nutty not topple. i guess providing it's not done on a basis where people just paying money out there a better picture than either well jim could cause an uncomfortable atmosphere as it has a history of hiking prices for consumers for its own good just
8:14 am
a few days ago the national audit office revealed that electric bills were unnecessarily high fee yiss setting the public back $100000000.00 pounds annually but if it's all spread out equally for the good of the planet then 1st right well the royals wouldn't get the warmest reception on this one when prince charles hopped on his private helicopter producing c o 2 emissions to get to climate change conferences in order for him to undertake as many engagements as he does across the u.k. and around the world he sometimes has to fly as he has often said assume is there is a more sustainable way of making these journeys he will be the 1st to use it for the time being there are many proper trial turn to sound the flying around we think is fairly bright for me this whole. you can stop him to use such a thing and get that he's a boy and he needs to be. high security. yeah this makes sense for us to use it for a 1000 and for well it's hard to believe when buckingham palace tops the list for
8:15 am
the most environmentally damaging buildings in london or about the time when her majesty used the state's poverty fund to heat her humble abode i don't think robin hood would approve but when it comes to the climate it seems likely ordinary britain should brace themselves and be ready for the additional financial sacrifice for everything is on the altar of a carbon free for. iran has dampened the mood over their opening of a new swiss payment mechanism the channel was set up to allow lifesaving aid to be sent to the islamic republic while eradicating any risk of falling foul of american sanctions however terror on believes america is still depriving it of essential food and medical supplies by constantly imposing penalties this channel fall short of implementing the international court of justice order which ruled that the united states does not have the right to block the entry of food and medicine into iran this is not a sign of america's good intentions it is not even a sign that the united states has taken the smallest step in the direction of
8:16 am
fulfilling its commitments the newly set up humanitarian channel for both food and medicine has already started shipping cancer and organ transplant drugs the united states says the china will come under strict scrutiny twin short iran isn't misusing it although iran does produce much of its own basic medicine advanced treatment is generally imported but is the route between washington and tehran deepens vital medicine is getting harder to source in 2018 alone 56000 patients died of cancer in the islamic republic and in just a one year period between 20019 the cost of medical services rose by an astonishing 90 percent however washington says it sanctions i'm not actually hurting the industry since medicine doesn't fall under their remit i want to talk directly to the iranian people to dispel myths about you were saying sions that continue to be promoted by the iranian regime with number one the united states sanctions medical
8:17 am
supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exempt medicine and medical devices for the iranian people earlier we spoke to professor from terror on university he explained why iran is still experiencing medical shortages despite the sect of beings armed from u.s. penalties. the americans are saying that they have not sanction humanitarian goods such as medicine and food but in reality because iran is not able to do financial transaction and also because of the fact that the rein in transportation is under sanction essentially it is very difficult to import and export any goods and it doesn't matter whether this is medicine or food or any other material for that matter so it has had a very real effect on iran now iran actually imports over $4000000000.00 of medicine and medical goods every year and what this happened
8:18 am
through the so-called suicide annele is only $2500000.00 so it is essentially peanuts considering what you on and it's iran is a country of 80000000 what do you on really need is is much much bigger than what the swiss embassy carried out recently. well coming up i'll tell you about how the coronavirus epidemic is giving investors the ghettos with oil prices plummeting and stop taking hits a tight. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to go right to the
8:19 am
press this is what the 3 of the 4 people. interested in the war. so the politicians have basically stuck the american public with in the bellotti to negotiate for drugs and both parties who are financed very heavily by the pharmaceutical industry have done this so people vote they should look at how much does this politician get from the power pharmaceutical industry.
8:20 am
welcome back as the prospect of a global coronavirus pandemic attempts to prevent the spread of the disease are beginning to hurt the global economy with millions of chinese effectively in quarantine and global trade on travel slowing the price of oil tumbled to below $50.00 a barrel on monday for the phos time in over a year on me as among investors also cause the shanghai stock market to 4 by 8 percent before it recovered slightly the chinese central bank attributed the plunge to what it described as. irrational behavior the regulator has said it plans to inject over $170000000000.00 into the economy a move that would be unparalleled in scale in the past 15 years and if the bank's recent statements are anything to go by more measures to prop up the market will follow. the people's bank of china will provide liquidity to the market through a variety of monetary poses a tool such as open market operations standing lending to sue its refinancing and
8:21 am
re discounting. what to get more reaction on this we're crossing live now to dr norman lewis he's a technology consultant and business trends unless welcome to the program i mean i want to tell us china today accounts for about one thought of global economic growth that's more than the u.s. japan and europe combined is it an exaggeration to say that the knock on effects could be devastating. i think it's an exaggeration to say it can be devastating i mean the difficulty with the at this always is you know how long is a piece of string it's know it's absolutely sure and certain that in the short term this is going to impact the world economy it's no question about the previous example expressions of these things like what happened in 2003. you know what is now the economy will recover and that i think in the long. virus can be contained i think the speed at which an anti virus is being developed is unprecedented the
8:22 am
steps that are being taken are rational insofar as you're trying to spread the spread of people moving which is one of the virus is spreading and so the actions that are taking are going to have any media impact no longer term. i think it's an exaggeration to suspect that this is the the end of the war. you talked about the 2003 saw is a plan called the st the chinese market has grown considerably not and it is and we know in terms of consumers it's going now it's one of the biggest consumer markets 1400000000 people i mean thought and shop chains like apple stocks i care that temporarily shutting up shop how damaging ripple will this be for foreign companies as well well as a say i think that there will be any there's no question about it closing down stores and its sales i think the demonic full roll materials and we've seen what's happened to lower oil prices as well the gold prices going up and people trying to hedge against this as a sign i think he was saying which between short term and what will happen in there
8:23 am
in the long term i think as well one should be very careful as well because we kind of we were docked at this kind of doomsday scenario planning and what we don't recognize is that even within this crisis they will be enormous areas of growth i think the impact on the pharmaceutical industry is going to be here now in terms of all of the russian. antivirus i think those sectors of the economy that can take advantage of the shutdown like retail food for example online digital services they're going to as people you know lock themselves up and so it's 'd not going to be a one way street it's an ied them and that's why i think it's difficult to predict exactly what's going to happen but that i think you can't say with a certain amount of certainty. the short term impact will be you know i'm not sure how big that they definitely will be a negative. in 3 months. this can be overcome factors can be restarted the
8:24 am
supply chains accent to get back to what they were and then their consumer behavior will change and we'll see a bounce back which is what happened in 2003 i want to pick up you say he talked about the the doomsday prophecies and actually when we had the chinese central bank claiming that it is a lot of her rationality is a lot of hot mentality and in fact do you think that that's in its own way cause saying perhaps more volatility in the markets and that would have been otherwise. i think that's absolutely right and i think the biggest danger for me is the subject affected now i think the fear factor is going to be an economic determinant and it's not just the the trade balances except through our investment the production lines being slowed down by you know the epidemic of fear which means that i think the chinese banks central bank has got
8:25 am
a point that there is or me irrational element to this. and you know how far can it go well you know that's the problem that's absolutely impossible to tell i think the real issue here on usenet you know the last 20 you know 25 was a kind of culture of risk aversion has crept into business and into governments and . it's always based upon the kind of worst case scenarios and they assume because they're anticipating the west banks that in even in the sight of evidence against that there will still act as if that's you know it's a wall and what that does essentially is it makes us appear to be vulnerable and that there is not much that we can do to stop those and i think that in itself is a real fear that it just reduces zest and vulnerable. side on the sidelines sitting there passively looking at what's going on where in fact as i
8:26 am
said now there's evidence to show that steps are being tacked him actively and we can minimize that so my point here is that the virus is the effort you know it's right but it can become time to flee essentially if the key thing is the will as he said time will tell us who will be keeping an eye on that is that what develops many thanks that was dr norman you know as a technology consultant and business trends on the sponsor timing of comments. you're a wave so for now we're wrapping up for this hour about at the top the hour so join me then. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from day shouldn't let it be an arms race to move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be
8:27 am
successful a very critical time to sit down and talk. seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. no longer you know nor because you know i'm with the.
8:28 am
movie shipping them in. one of her fishy free cell and. you know they have and it's not so for the moment on the 4th on any of us want and i'm going to have to have been but i mean that's a big part of. it there's a product which i think. this is the only thing that we do is the music. really we put it was the music because everybody fights a. way. and i mean i was going to the highest the mcconnell swaying for both successes 5 because bandicoots nordics to it i'd have to watch in this way down to dog so hard not to think of the mother disappeared the same moment the walk like they are.
8:29 am
in such animals among the closest thing by the dogs to saddam was going to be a total public comment also an accountant caught up in most of the time on the machine to have said. let's not long for this lizard and more but on the north korean side of that mike and i'm not. like that was something being born on the kindest way. things are today. yes i was at it all last weeks of the bubble to the dot so if possible i'd live model and i could have been this fabulous. it was some time ago that the dad group chose this square in which to dance it
8:30 am
doesn't appear particularly challenging simply 10 up to me say i'm a guy but syria is different even in the taqiyya where there was no street to street fighting during the war people seem to have conflicting feelings about performance place like this. you know why don't you guys there and the game is the way things are go the numbers are very sound smart generalist people because they're going to get a name like dogs or foreign from our lives like what i'm on about libya and i'm pretty sure it was me trying to let you know when caught in the wouldn't believe my fantasies she is very very sharp enough they're just. earlier i asked to be in the center of the. 3 homes or must be. going to her about the nuclear the others of her house was going to her.
