we meet we talk about the middle east you know when donald trump and his administration put forward their deal of the century for what we thought was going to be the the israeli palestinian conflict to be resolved actually is something much much more comprehensive and i've read dozens and dozens of articles about it they all pretty much say the same thing but your article recent article israel in the middle east a civilizational and metaphysical war of this is so think very different in looking at the deal this century what your thesis in this article is simply the fact to recognize that israel or zionism is more like any normal nationalism it's not like nationalism of russian nationalism or other nationalism precisely because it was given this was dictated by god and it was an empire of a civilizational a metaphysical empire came through the room came to the roman empire it came to the

room and then and even the secular leaders of it like being gorean who was very secular all saw this not just as a nationalist project but the redemption of the human race is what he described i mean not the jewish people but the human race as a whole and it's in and it tells the jews exactly what will be them that it will other states will submit to them they will provide their wealth honey milk will be coming to them and they will rule over this and in a sense this is what we're talking about it is a judeo christian civilizational project for the middle east it always always was that and now it is be actualized and the american ambassador friedman was very clear in the soft of the meetings and me. stroma at the white

house he said listen you know this is the bible being actualized i mean living in the old testament holiness and then it only the old testament the jewish bible the old testament and so this is what is coming and relieve the deal of the century was the sort of laying the foundations 1st of all for the palestinians to give tribute to those in those packs today like pax romana you know the the province's the pop provinces of pax romana like spain became and gave their fealty. to rome and essentially it's providing that for the palestinians to come in on a subordinate status and a knowledge the new civilizational paradigm in the region that stage one then we move to later stages where it's going to extend jordan probably other states are expected to submit to new most of the arab states have already whole way john

will get out of that one that we took for maybe an american viewers here this sounds like a form of manifest destiny with an element of mystery on the to it yes well that's true i mean one in one in 4 americans say the evangelicals and even jericho's take the old testament very literally and they see that and they sort of see this as needing to the return of the redeemer and rapture rapture says what we're talking about so any move towards actual icy. prophecies about the future at the destiny and this is what many are who if you listen to his speech he said thank you mr president for enabling us to fulfill our destiny and what's the destiny if. it's what they said empire jew or if there is no there isn't any but they are going to determine the. destiny of so many other people in the region i

mean it's really interesting is that it seems in many ways israel is kind of replicating very much the mindset that the u.s. but the u.s. has it on a global. in a global way but the israelis are looking at it in a regional and that's what i think so many american policymakers and even jellicoe can readily understand it because it's something that the u.s. does except for on a global scale yes actually it meshes very closely because the american. elite have always seen themselves as a civilizational project you see that famous columnist in the new york times tom friedman who sort of used to say you know you measure our success not by troops on the ground but kentucky fried chicken mcdonald's hollywood it was or was a cultural project too and a few some years ago nato met leaders of the nato forces came together and made

to leave this said look. our empire will fail if the world does not accept of vision as their vision for the future we can't sustain the hedge of money the empire without that vision and so what to do we have if this munich security conference pompei was said listen american values american ideals will prevail and that of course was influenced during my eye what happened in the cold war you believe it will and that will it will succeed because it we have the force to make it we have sanctions we have trade we have the dollar we have the military ok i mean this is a it sounds like a virtuous view of the world but it's very dystopian when you think about how it will be made into reality and i think in this is the disenchantment so much of the world has with the neo liberal order of course because what it's done has been to impoverish breakup destruct those states in order to prepare the way for this i

mean look at the huge pressures that are being put on not only georgia but on lebanon on iraq on iran all of them part of a process to make agreed to terms and to agree to this project i mean it's it's it's a project it's an. empire project it's only in phase one but these of the subsequent faces and that people are feeling this precious and i think it's having a huge impact on the middle east because i've just been back to visiting a number of states and europe everyone has depended on what they call holding the middle of the stick. only those no middle of the stick left because he's america and trump has polarized it into what little ground has gone let's talk about trying because the i've been asked this so many times that trump under the trumpet

ministration essentially is recognizing the annexation of the west bank up to the jordan river the golan. that the us is recognized the moving of the embassy to jerusalem trying to up my thesis is this true doesn't because there's no downside for him politically to do it for him. you know as a politician and as someone who's running for reelection because he doesn't see any downside in his base likes it so it's a cost free in his mind if i think real experts on the middle east see how costly these kind of decisions are particularly since united states has no right to give away something is that its own in the 1st place i don't think i think it's. simpler or the. past to do so because of course people will say to you you know the evangelicals one in 4 americans will know vote democrat may be true but

the question is will they sit on their hands and not go out and vote enough would change the electoral i mean you know trump is not going to win the popular vote he has to win it through the electoral college so it really matters to him and he has been vulnerable and he's vulnerable he was vulnerable during that senate vote on the impeachment because a number of right wing new cause. already to say look you know we've been happy to go with pence because he's a soldier he's sort of him he will do what he's told you know so many people underestimate that and if you look at the american cable t.v. it is never never mentioned but the bipartisan military industrial complex slash in intervention. slash. global hegemony and your money project is is very very front and center for these people and i don't think it was even very subtle is that this has this project has to continue so this is what he did i mean

he gave them everything the evangelicals and ever being just i mean he did it before the the election in the senate or on the day of the senate election but obviously the been an understanding about the everything the evangelicals and the deep state to dos for now on israel was given if i watched that press conference when the deal this century was rolled out 1st of all there was no palestinian on the stage and there wasn't even. a modicum of any kind of suggestion of negotiations take it or leave it but essentially doesn't the deal of the century. codified a 11 state solution of course one of the one of the implications of a 11 them yes no with well you could have told the maids

existing just as the roman empire did provide literally they're providing they accept the authority except acknowledge the authority of rome own knowledge the oath or the central authority you have a moment of latitude. depends how much but that was how the roman empire what and that would be the same thing but then our sleep flies in the face of these rules based order that the u.s. and its allies particularly in europe are are pushing all the time it's it's it's contradictory well no not really i mean the rules based empire i mean but you know don't forget this meshes very closely as i say with a sense of you know what happened in the end of the cold war when all america's values salahi's and. we legitimize i mean not you know it was hollywood it was the wall street it was all of these values they had destroyed

not the u.s.s.r. but communism socialists and the left were completely destroyed. the actualize ation of israel what do you know almost give a comparative if this happened and iran was defeated in the us it would almost lose about her and a little bit later not only that but it will be it will be another validation and as i say and as i said nato spoke some years ago and said you know we cannot survive how do we maintain how do we keep an empire i think people underestimate the importance of this cultural civilization even if you look at what the pentagon has been saying recently about china they've been not talking about the trade war but the simple lies ational threat of china that we will start thinking the chinese way economics. is the way to sell this new cold war with china even with

russia i mean it when you when you base it on values and not on military strength for example yes i mean this is what this is what they're using for their domestic audience and it's obviously quite effective. and people respond to this how you win that civilizational war is is a different but i think that's precisely will compare meant when he. our ideals will prevail hold the veil hold ok after a short break we'll continue our discussion on the middle east stay with us. micrographs friends aren't slights against you know whites or men for example there's their slights against women or nonwhites so it's always you know the idea

is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say well rather than a northern core then we need to call attention to them but it's not all slights so it's a very political in its content. and its community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflicts i

would say are over most romani and most of them is me. close one you know the children's cosimo each other and this could be just the state of california alone to make 6000000000 dollars you have to prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care mind anything. thank you for. this story 6 that's right. welcome to the r.t. interview i remind you we're discussing the middle east in the 1st part of the

program you're talking about this idea. israel's view for empire in the region as a reflection of how america looks at the world. but one thing kind of in bedded. in pyar vision is that somehow. particularly sunni muslims in the middle east will have to accept zionism will they do that no i don't think in coersion they don't have to accept zionism. that would be accepting the zionist project but they have to accept the authority. of the. project i just said you know people have to spain and if we want to accept. all of. even if they did their own thing to a certain extent they have to but really in some ways were almost i mean it needs

to be sort of consolidated but most of the arab states some of the gulf states who are already you know. civilized. what do they get out of it is that they hope they're going to get business going to have a front door to washington be accepted. but the great difficulty in this whole. project is that in order to bring it into being it's been framed in really binary terms either you know the palestinians either you do it or you're finished and the same for lebanon the same for jordan jordan all are being put in this binary position and the middle ground has been erased completely and gone and these pressures are increasing and this is where it may not work because in the sense the whole of the middle east needs to hold. by the middle and once you take

all of that away then and make it so polarized and put the pressures on which are taking place right across iraq iran syria then what is the choice they can only escalate back against the united states doesn't this. is going to interact with it actually very directly empower iran because iran is the alternative. this is iran is if you call it a victory is the only effective from the deal as i was read is. always wins by almost doing nothing at all it is react it watches everybody else in the region screw everything up over and over and over again no learning curve and is a result the guy in this. ends up being the winner it happens it's particularly in this century that's what that's a pattern that's what's happening in equally what's happening is the old traditional weapon is coming out which is sectarianism from the gulf states who are

demonizing iran on social media in iraq and in syria and everywhere else in order to try to keep that position but it is putting huge pressure not only on those states in the both but also gulf states because the gulf states hold the middle of the stick and that's what they've done or was and if they don't call. do that and specially now when the price of oil is going down and may go down further depending on what happens in china but at 40 dollars 45 dollars a barrel which it may be if china doesn't get back to work very soon i mean the gulf states are really going to be there already in recession dubai abu dhabi and others i mean the pressures are intense some of them may collapse from it but others may have no choice but to escalate the binary process forces as skule should so i expect later to see or an april sometime around that we'll see quite

a big scale ation of tensions between iran and the role of some syria iran and also because now there is a project to remove america from the region that's what i was getting you read my mind exactly and it is the that is the deal of the century a way to cement forever american presence in the middle east. it's meant to cement israel's position of the united have as the carrier of what americans now call themselves judeo christianity i mean it's not just the old testament not just the break tradition but it's now carries the christian called notation the hyphen to it into the middle east but i don't know i think that it may end up paradoxically by the americans losing their footprint and losing their position in the middle east i think it's just my own personal belief but i think america will

not be in iraq in any meaningful way by the end of the c.-a nor in syria in any meaningful way i don't think it's going to be sustainable the pressures are already beginning from afghanistan right through. this region to attacks it hasn't started yet because the iraq is a still. paul came to the americans and the americans seem ready to at least leave in part from iraq so without leave israel is virtually the sole sarah get proxy for the united states in the middle east is this part of the deal of the century if the u.s. footprint does shrink it will have its proxy i guess you could throw in the saudis as well where you would have that that that axis right there the tel of the axis would that be play it presumes that you actually undermined a weakened or destroyed

a look principle opposition to this project and that's what's going on well in a sense you know we've all heard the term arab street real or imagined but we're talking about elite decisions being made and that's always the case in the middle east but there's a there is discontent we have a lot. of social unrest all across the region across world. primarily economic and it's a great deal of time it's due to poor governance and there's a certain point where people do look it's going on in lebanon. a very volatile place. some point you have to realize you know the civil society the lower levels of society because we're always looking at these decision makers what is the sense of you my years down to my sons. off to having just been and everybody says that reform is necessary everyone agrees that corruption must be

finished and no one thinks it's going to happen or is even ready possible because it's always brought. in the middle east if one person wants to move these elites talk about it this way then there is someone whose interests are affected that way and i don't think all of these states it's going to be easy to have reform i don't . i think reform i don't think they can reform themselves as things stand so i expect these protests will get worse and increase particular of these economic situation of the middle east as israeli much of europe is already in something of a recession. and its parts of the middle east are in deep recession and this is going to have big popular. populist if you like impact and i'm not sure all that all of these streets will survive the spirit because they contra form i

don't think we will see. that because you know in lebanon the sectarian interest in. there is difference is the gulf interests and all sorts of different interests and none of them really are capable the elites in the middle east i don't think any of them are really capable of making the reform look at the gulf states they say they need reform to i don't see that we're going to see there's that level of inertia or you do have these states here that spend lavishly on arms and we all know why didn't they keep their own populations in our control it's not our national defense i want to go back to the palestinian question here because you know it's we've all long known i mean from slow to the present is that israel has a choice as democracy or a sinus regime in which palestinians are 2nd class citizen and i'll use

the. word there for both word essentially apartheid i mean that is something that they're willing to live with because they get some they're shielded by the united states around the world and its allies i mean again you know when i look at that stage when the deal the century was rolled out and i wasn't the only one that noticed that there was a. and there and this is the origins of this trying to resolve this this conflict and they're just wishing the conflict away as if it doesn't exist and actually in a sense the that the palestinians don't know they're just taking off all the alternative all. they're taking and as i say the stage so that there's a what cold real choices. and only 2 choices that he or available and this is why i think you know i listened to the palestinian and the original response and they said well let's have a new architecture we'll have you know the quartet revived and then. others

move through saying well we'll include north africa are in the hole about for occur and the germans knew and we would have a big conference. don't they understand this is precisely what trump's policy is to dismantle the architecture they say we're going to build a new architecture he has spent the last 3 years dismantling the architecture so the palestinians have this choice or nothing and this is the whole point the fame offer is being given to lebanon you know either you do what you go told you cut your links with hezbollah you accept the israeli borders maritime and learn oh you almost financial system will collapse same for iraq the same iran the same and so this binary thing is not a chance for the arab states to sort of provide a new architecture revive the quartet and start negotiations with. israel then on

invited to negotiate they're invited to think about what's been put on the table the whole point is us is to take away the middle sit around but if it fails then it catastrophic we fail because if you have a middle ground some kind of negotiation everybody has wiggle room everybody has options this is so brittle breaks it's going to really break so the. that's why i'm saying the only ultimately i mean at the moment they're not there you know the arab states the talking about new architecture and going back to the 2 state solution and putting the arab proposal back from 2001 on the tape but you know as i say the whole of the trauma but teams policy has been troll move all of that middle ground all of the liberal middle as i call it gone and to give you that choice but it implies there will be escalation some people will fold because there is no alternative some states may fold but others have no choice but to escalate so it

does prepare and it could lead finally to something much broader. titling this program middle east dystopia question mark 20 seconds is that a good title for this program yes it is a good title and it is also know we are moving into something that is going to be very tumultuous very uncertain and it could end up in a much wider conflict while always happy when you come to moscow but not always happy when you. think you know i want i very much appreciate you joining us here on the r.t. and if you think it's time time for new year anyway. i can't show you my face but i'm going to tee you must. in 9093 this man was

sentenced to death. charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom. with the scent of a $23.00. act out that had to. confess . and within 4 gray walls defunded so using hard to turn on to help him to leave things right. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth

. is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to chill . so very for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace that should have. a turbo license between now and the. thanks. zain.

just so. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is all to u.k. . the number of daily coronavirus debts i record 563 that says the british government is under fire for still failing to meet its powers testing targets i'll be talking to her on the just. number 10 business schools to release the data that informed its knocked down decision and while that all concerns have been designed to track infected patients or more others could also be used as a form of social control. the un delivers a to the gaza strip amid warnings that the densely populated territory can see

a devastating virus outbreak of the health system already ravaged by years of the israeli egyptian blockade. and the labor m.p. urges the government to continue vital cladding removal blood despite growing viruses residents still living in unsafe buildings are forced to self isolate for weeks i'll be talking to a fire safety expert a little later. we are currently awaiting the government's daily coronavirus press briefing meanwhile the u.k. has experienced its worst day for corona virus deaths and now we can go to this daily briefing from the government. go and thank you for joining us for the daily briefing on our fight against the current of ours i'm joined today by dr if won't boyle who is the medical director

of public health england before yvonne provides an update on the latest data from a cookbook or in a virus fact file i'd like to update you on the steps that we'll cheeking to defeat this pandemic. a step by step action plan is aiming to slow the spread of the virus so fewer people need hospital treatment at any one time protecting the ability of the n.h.s. to cope through our response to corona virus we have been following the scientific and medical advice we have been deliberate in our actions taking the right steps at the right time we're also taking unprecedented action to increase energies capacity by dramatically expanding the number of beds key staff and life same equipment on the front line provide the care when people need it most the daily figures show that a total of 152979 people in the u.k.

have now been tested for current virus of those $29474.00 have tested positive. the number of people admitted to hospital in england with current vice symptoms is now 10767 was 3915 of those are in london and 1918 in the midlands. of those hospitalized in the u.k. sadly 2352 have died this is an increase of 563 fatalities since yesterday the youngest of them was just 13 years old all our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. there is more tragic evidence that this virus does not

discriminate the current a virus pandemic is the biggest threat our country has faced in decades and we're not alone. all over the world we are seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer. we recognize the extreme destruction the necessary actions we are asking people to take are having on their lives that businesses jobs and the nation's economy and i want to thank everyone across our whole country for the huge effort that is being made collectively in tackling the couvade 19 pandemic. to the front line workers treating and caring for patients the people delivering supplies their neighbors and the millions staying at home thank you you are protecting the n.h.s. and saving lives and i want to thank businesses too through your support for your workers and your communities and through your willingness to support our health

service you are making a real difference whether it's any of us building in new hampshire that sanitizer plant near middlesbrough in just 10 days. or u.c.l. engineers working with miss eighty's formula one to build new continuous positive airway pressure machines which help patients to breathe more easily or broadband providers giving their customers unlimited data to stay connected or indeed london london's xcel center being converted in the n.h.s. nightingale hospital with space for 4000 patients these are just a few of the examples of businesses from across our great nation supporting life saving work. there are also thousands of businesses large and small which you've worked with staff to ensure that they're supported in the days and weeks ahead whether that is through ensuring p.h.e. guidelines are followed onsite implementing further schemes carrying over annual leave or providing the means to work from home i want to convey my heartfelt

thanks to all of those businesses up and down the country which are working to keep our economy going. so that when this crisis sharma the business secretary giving the government's daily press briefing and as he was saying the e.u. case has experience its worst day for corona virus deaths with more than 500 new the last 24 hours as the government comes under fire for its coronavirus testing program as ministers of mit it will still be weeks before the $25000.00 a day target is reached where thousands of health workers condemned the lack of protective equipment with some frontline staff claiming they are threatened with the sack if they reveal the true scale of the crisis well with more on the latest r.t. case joins me now sees it bring us up to speed then with all the day's developments well as we were hearing there from out of sharma the business secretary the death rate has risen by its largest amounts over 24 hour period thus far during this

crisis $563.00 deaths over the past 24 hours now that takes the total number of those who have died in the u.k. to $2352.00 that's the number of people who have died after testing positive for cope with 19 it's still unclear and obviously very early in the stage of this crisis whether all of those deaths were because of coded 19 or just contributed to other underlying diseases that people had and we also heard there from the business sector the total number of positive cases thus far almost $30000.00 now while we've seen the government coming in for criticism when it comes to how much testing they are warm lot conducting now yesterday the government did finally reach its target of 10000 tests a day and we've been hearing from robert general the housing secretary who says that within a fortnight the u.k.

aims to be testing 25000 people a day but that he concedes the government haven't been doing enough and that the environment or the situation being what it is has made it difficult for the government to do so. but there we do need to ramp up production very significantly it isn't easy to procure it tests in a global condo because there's a great deal of demand. now as mr jenner there was mentioning there's a great deal of demand globally for those types of tests but critics say the government 5 months after seeing what was happening in china to prepare for this and they simply didn't and people also pointing out that countries like germany similar numbers of people living there similar population size but germany is conducting around 70000 tests day and so even if the u.k. hits that 25000 day target they would still be some way short of that and we've heard previously from former world health organization director anthony costello

who says that the u.k. has failed to organize itself properly and that's why they're not testing enough and he said what about the n.h.s. hell stuff at the moment well we've seen n.h.s. staff previously complaining about the lack of p.p. either that's protective person on the quitman also about the lack of testing taking place and now a number of n.h.s. staff of come together to write a letter under the umbrella of the every doctor group and in this letter which has been written to the prime minister they call for frontline staff to be given more p p e it's been signed by 10000 n.h.s. workers and they want things like medical masks eye protection clean scrubs and so on and the letter says that n.h.s. staff have already lost their lives as a result of a lack of equipment now we've seen a response from the n.h.s. they say that they have been listening to their staff and that they would welcome

all feedback they receive from their workers. once a major incident occurs it is vital that the public receive fast authority to open clear and consistent information from there and h.s. which is why in line with longstanding emergency preparedness resilience and response protocols official communications are therefore always coordinated nationally staff continued to speak in a personal trade union or professional body capacity and this is self-evident from print and broadcast media coverage throughout this incident that staff are able and do in fact speak freely. despite the n.h.s. saying that staff to have the right and the ability to speak freely there are those who are working within the n.h.s. who said that they've been threatened that if they should take their concerns public will go to the media than they could lose their jobs will have all the repercussions facing them. thank you very much indeed for all of that swell to

discuss this further i'm not joined by virologist at lancaster university dr mohammed near mohammed thank you very much indeed for joining us where the government has committed to doing more testing but it says the dilemma is down to supply. well at the moment they are right but that is really don't do the compare ness i mean if we really look into outbreaks start to. show in china has been crying at that time that this is coming to you guys and that month now one and a half months basically generally until 1st week of february that time has been invested given by the china and then the band the virus speech to your rope literally at that time i mean you can has been in the position to have more time to prepare for that and we basically are in the u.k. have is stupid 2 and a half months has been just 2 weeks since we started taking any. drastic mayor that

was supposed to be take a long time before so that was one thing one thing that a journal public can understand but at the same time prepare now in terms of having ventilators and of having enough got abilities testing ramping up all these should have been done a month before but it seems like government is preparing now which is really too late to bulk up i wouldn't because now every country and in war it is demanding for the same thing and as some of you have already highlighted that germany has been doing very good in the beginning that they have ramped up their tasking to pets capacity 25000 at date is because they have a very strong industrial system and they are producing a lot of the you don't require sort of testing so they were in the position to use that but that was not the case in the u.k. but many also many other countries many showed a bit more light on the to some cells there are 2 on the antigen test which see whether you've got the virus testing for infection antibody test which you find out if you've had it surely that that test the antibody test will be far more useful to

know whether you have immunity or is shouldn't really the emphasis be on that. both have their own advantages and disadvantages and depending on what is the interest really for example they antibodies detection as it is at this moment is absolutely important for one basic question and that is that majority of the population are old like 20 percent off they all infected what they could call asymptomatic so we don't really know whether the lot in fact it and if they have been infected they have already acquired the immunity but they wouldn't know until the antibody test would be conducted so if you delete the antigen based detection like the genomic material of the virus you might not find it but that doesn't mean that these people haven't been inspected before it might that they have already antibody and for that you need to test for antibody detection and this antibody detection as it is absolutely important as we move along the line because that is the one that will decide about the destructions and and

a controlled 1000000 need to be eased old and new phase out because depending on how much is the anybody teacher in the population that would be fine is the immunity in the population before the phasing out the destruction so bored have is that i want to just disappear one day but at this moment antibody detection is probably the most important to run just fine the way you claim to have full coverage of the results of these tests nobody does really overall but how far do you think is viruses already spread. well as as it stands now i think the number of people who have already inspected about this why this is extremely high than what we have come to any calculations and the reason is that if you look into the reporting system really any country is the one at this moment that is really looking on to the population level all they are looking into the world are hospitalized so therefore it is difficult to assess but if if if we look on today or what else are you the ratio of the virus that has been infected population and how many has been isn't dramatic i would say in u.k.

at least 2 or 3 percent of the population is already in fact it is infection or to muhammad near thank you very much indeed for joining us. the government is under pressure to release the data the justified last week's knockdown to the announcement number 10 said reported public interactions inform the decision but opposition leaders want more transparency we've handed over extraordinary powers to the government for obvious and good reason but it's important that the government is clear and transparent about how and why those powers are being used it would be better if the government is as transparent as possible the data should be published . the government has yet to respond to the request but says it receives its information from a range of sources all compliant with current data regulations number 10 also said it would publish data when legally possible and if it helped the public to better understand the threat. where it's possible to publish data and where we think doing so will give the public a better understanding of the threat of

a virus when we are committed to doing so. the concern over days of privacy comes as the government plans to release an app that would inform the public of nearby virus carriers developed by n.h.s. england's innovation arm it works by using shortwave signals to detect nearby phones in your area those who have tested positive can tell the app which then informs those near boy to protect the infected users identity these alerts would also be delayed but over half of the population needs to use the app to be effective the data won't be stored by a central system which creators hope will allay fears about privacy and hacking but an open letter from experts to the government is also warn the technology could be used for nefarious purposes any technology initiatives put in place now to suppress coronavirus must protect human rights be proportionate and work within the rule of law not least because they will set the template for what comes next in the delivery of health services in the u.k.

the combination of this new coronavirus bill with existing far reaching data gathering powers creates the risk that location and contact tracking technology could be used as a means of social control. still to come this the u.n. sends more than $4000.00 food in the single day it's a palestinian the gaza hamas is health ministry declares it needs $20000000.00 to fight the outbreak. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. who

dares thinks. we dare to ask. micrographs friends aren't slights and dad sed you know whites are men for example there's their slights against women or more on nonwhite so it's always the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward a oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying well rather than a northern door then we need to call attention to them but it's not all slights so it's a very political in this context. the

un has delivered over 4000 parcels in a single day to help palestinians on the gaza strip amid fears that the territory could experience a catastrophic outbreak of coronavirus that says a mass is health ministry says in these $20000000.00 to fight the virus or building new corn team facilities to stop the fragile health system collapsing on is in turn of the. when you talking about gaza you need to realize that we're talking about one of the most densely populated areas on earth there are 2000000 people here who live in the space of 140 square miles so any kind of virus any kind of pandemic is going to ultimately run the risk of becoming

a catastrophe as you mention the united nations relief and works agency has been distributing food parcels it also talks about the being not enough testing equipment in the strip and in this respect israel is trying to bring in some equipment and testing tests so that people can conduct what is needed to happen inside the strip now we have in terms of figures up to 12 people who are confirmed dead but that figure is unfortunately expected to escalate this is a shortage of facilities and in this respect too large facilities are being built and 18 facilities are being converted into clinics at the same time the health ministry has said that it needs some $20000000.00 in this respect the ta has offered to give $150000000.00 in aid to try and help ease the situation in the gaza strip the situation is made that much worse by the seas that has been imposed by israel for the better part of 14 years so that siege has seen a much needed basic supplies been able to enter the gaza strip at the same time

a harsher rules are being implemented rules that are preventing people from gathering in large crowds and rules that are also stopping street vendors and any kind of street markets from happening now across the border in israel where i am on wednesday we saw the highest wise in the number of people testing positive for covered 19 in this respect there are more than 5500 israelis who have tested positive the chief of staff is under quarantine and you have $21.00 israelis who have died the unemployment figure also stands at one in 4 now this is a figure that is the highest that this country has ever witnessed and it came into effect just in the last 23 weeks when you have all the drama and all the lockdown khurana vie. i spent the better part of today in measure of him it is one of the neighborhoods for the ultra orthodox religious jews and these are the areas that are the worst hit in the hospitals 40 to 60 percent of patients come from the ultra-orthodox jewish communities and this is because these communities are not

here into the lockdown just on sunday there was a funeral with more than 400 people they continue to flout the rules and gather for prayer meetings for weddings for funerals i was with there on patrol with the police and we were pelted with stones and eggs in the ultra-orthodox screaming at the police to leave the neighborhood but the police of course insisting that they're going to stay there and try and bring these anti coronavirus orders into place as the country besides its efforts to try and deal with this pandemic. labor m.p. has condemned a delay in the removal of dangerous clouding from the exterior of high rise buildings due to the corona virus outbreak margaret hodge wrote to the government to highlight the urgent threat the dangerous cladding poses to residents in the area she will know coronavirus related delays to works puts those forced herself. at serious risk she says the government to support developers to finish the works through the pandemic when it comes as the clotting use of thousands of blocks is

dramatically failed the past safety test study found that material which had been declared. used on the ground full term are burned almost as quickly as by this the government only recently agreed to fund its removal through the spring budget announcement and the general secretary of our brigades union met rac says that until closing is removed thousands of lives will remain at serious risk particularly during lockdown. country tries to pull together to deal with corona virus we cannot forget about the ongoing crisis in building safety which this test proves is more pressing than ever hundreds of homes are thought to be clad in this deadly material meaning thousands upon thousands of people are living in dangerous homes with people spending far more time at home under the lockdown this is a ticking time bomb work must begin immediately on making all these properties safe every 2nd it doesn't put more lives at risk. for more on all lists for our safety

expert and severe talling joins me now on a look at to see. and understand why coronavirus is taking precedence over cladding removal. yes i'm certain you can the very imminent danger to all of us but the change the fact that there are many people living in dangerous properties and it won't just be the i.c.m. client all the h.p.o. of high pressure limonite which is now being discussed. by quoting it will be noncombustible colliding with combustible material behind them there is a big big problem and a big dilemma here because the government says people should be staying at home and yet of course you need workers to remove that planning yes mark martin does and there are essential works with so you the essential works is removing the crowding making the building sites. doing investigations providing people can actually work

in a 1000000 or where they are not preaching that to me to roll. they can work site free and that why. so the upside is i don't want to building removing sheets of material and lowering them you know that might be inherently sites you know they're not going to be too close to other people. so you can see this as you see the sound of as a matter of urgency that you get on with this because it is very worrying that this topic landing was actually safer than grenfell it's burned almost like last row people are saying that the citation of. their paper. many people are muscle through assigning it was too hardy dangerous. you know quite why the advice going to government is constantly we don't have a problem i don't know why those advise isn't doing that because time and again

it's proved being wrong in their analysis and because much bigger problems than just these 2 products. but of course the government though did set aside a 1000000000 pounds in the spring budget announcement to help solve all of this so that is. a pretty apparent doesn't go anywhere near enough to the actual cost that we. caught because of decisions made in regards to the building regulations approved approved document be to do with fire safety which didn't get very far writing for the exterior face of a building other than the rate at which for 4 i will spread across it we can go through the like no inquests that a forcing and you can find in there what a civil servant said to the inquest in regards to the exterior face of buildings

that he wouldn't tell the minister of the fact could spread quickly from that to flats when the minister's not being told by their own holies. how will the government actually so things out by count on the town and we'll leave it there thank you very much indeed for joining us live in r.t. kerry. funnily over the long term means britons are spending a lot of time at home as per the government advice to stop the virus spreading it's going to be business as usual for key workers including us journalists bring you all the latest information on occasion it was dashed he takes a look behind the scenes at the precautions we are taking here. a rolling don't get too close the biggest story in town in fact the only story in town is of course the coronavirus crisis with breaking news it's organized chaos and it is in the driving seat janice working flatout and correspondents like me in the deep end but with

this story is simply can't be like that the government advice is to stay at home in order to stop the spread and then you on that can work from home at all t. does but in order to broadcast live television as you at least need some people here myself included in the office and in the studio so those of us that have to be here are at least spaced out 2 metres apart with plenty of hand washing a liberal use of hand sanitizer to behind the scenes one absolutely ben minimum anyone that's not essential to the tech team is kicked out after they've done less setup good news for the lighting rig this is the room we call studio b. where our guests come to do live interviews but now they're all on video link so i guess it's just gathering dust before i go and i need to look presentable and even though the make up artist is here as an extra quarter and i'm doing it myself usually i'd sit next to a news anchor bill but in order to maintain that 2 metres distance i'm all the way over here hi belle. stay safe and keep watching for the latest and that's it for

the moment more news in just over an hour. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell practically food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids

that ask and as a parent. i can come up with a logical argument there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say. is me. close one on each of those he knows each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes he gets a 20 a life where. you don't care and one of my cares about you so you don't care might anything.
