6:08 am
that's why this kind of language has of course infuriated beijing the country's foreign minister put out a strong message for those playing the blame game. recently some u.s. officials have made insulting comments about china amidst the pandemic outbreak these comments nor the correlate with science nor with the decisions of the world health organization. triggered strong outrage among chinese people we express our condemnation. now it's not just china disapproving of trump on this one the world health organization has asked donald trump to cut it out viruses no new borders and they don't care about your ethnicity the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank so it's really important we'd be careful in the language we use less did lead to the profiling of individuals associated with the virus now for all those looking to blame china it's worth looking into their vast global efforts to

pandemic in iran have been seriously hampered by u.s. sanctions in them to cease observing them it is immoral to that's a bully kill innocents cuba and venezuela are both in the early stages of an outbreak now both countries are going to face huge hurdles of crippling us restrictions if the us government is going to assist other countries let's assume provide some kind of leadership role during this global crisis the 1st thing it should do is cause new home economic sanctions as the u.s. is applying against iran cuba venezuela and other. trees cause amends to state the obvious the virus does not discriminate we're all in this together so why would anyone want to inflame international tensions or inflict economic damage to nations at a time like this trump as it is is a nationalist he is trying he's always trying to drum up hostility to foreign countries especially china these days he's makes
6:11 am
a point of saying the war and virus or the china chinese virus. the cold night he's definitely trying to use this to draw international. china was slow in the beginning and that china a few weeks to get its act together was important emphasize that trump is no one is a no position to be criticizing china because the u.s. 'd response so far has been chaotic haphazard there are no masks there aren't enough hass i think that one sided blame game is not only ridiculous but the worst thing possible in the current atmosphere. heading out to the u.k. where the number of those affected by covert 19 has surpassed 3000 the death toll has reached almost 150 but its prime minister boris johnson reassured the public that the u.k.

6:13 am
a part in creating the man behind this very strange change of sobering rules when you go to the pubs are not. the problems you think what you think your son's going to say let's just told you not who he said before going to the pub but if i had to go to a pub i'd go to a bar so the p.m.'s does go to plan for that one but in saying use a bring up a storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong whereas others are saying well actually the situation has been blown up i mean larger than proportion. what creates a need for want to go to the park after consulting with my father stanley johnson we are updating our coronavirus advice from now on anyone who developed symptoms must head straight for the pub can we stop bringing stanley johnson on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate. well we tried all day to find

join me every thursday on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. back at the democratic primary race is now down to just the 2 candidates but the sanders and joe biden that's after hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard dropped out throwing her support behind the former vice president who's emerged as the clear front runner. now after tuesday's election it's clear that democratic primary voters have chosen vice president joe biden to be the person who will take on
6:22 am
president trump in the general election so today i am suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to vice president joe biden in his quest to bring our country together although i may not agree with the vice president on every issue i know that he has a good heart and he's motivated by his love for our country and the american people usually after that announcement joe biden thanks for her support the congresswoman was thrust into the spotlight last year when hillary clinton accused her of being a russian asset about rejected the allegation and sued the former secretary of state the 30 year old politician into the race for the democratic ticket in february last year and was the last woman standing we heard from presser of latin american studies down the shore he says the primaries are being weighed down by a climate of fear. people have to work the most are clearly affected in are afraid to go out. if they have children you know the old and 'd the. free so clearly being
6:23 am
primary is in crisis in a sense tells the garrote a woman of color represents a columnist people why i think a lot of people high hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical incident theory was candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in incremental but miller is clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of us foreign policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal health care for us foreign policy it is diametrically opposed to we're trying to build biding in but i'm in the really close represent so this move is going to continue to fly notches in the electoral or really arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the u.s. . the u.k. government's unveiled new draft legislation that protects its military personnel
6:24 am
and veterans from prosecution for alleged historical offenses in conflicts overseas for decades the men and women of our armed forces have been faced with the prospect of repeated investigations by inquest and police despite the vast majority having acted in accordance with the rule of law and often at great personal risk that is why the government moved today legislate to protect our veterans against repeatedly investigations where there is no new and compelling evidence against them and to nvax aisha's claims against our own forces and the new law there would be a 5 year limits from the date of an incident bringing prosecution unless there is compelling new evidence and a sick challenge for any civil case involving personal injury or death beyond that only exceptional circumstances can force new investigations. according to the british ministry of defense operations in iraq resulted in the early 1000 compensation claims against personnel for unlawful detention personal injury and

even death approximately 1400 judicial review claims were seeking investigations and compensation for a variety of alleged human rights violations human rights groups of express their anger saying the legislation would place the military above the law and undermine existing international conventions he's company there and former soldier kid says that the bill is simply wrong. we should not arbitrarily place a statute of limitations when people can see some justice in the in their loved ones were murder and or torture and or detained for years and we are constantly learning more and more about how we think about the actions of our military in other countries and during different times and different troubles prevail it's lawsuits are one thing but to put a moratorium on prosecution ever truly to me does not seem to be the best
