altered and it's being done intentionally and it's being done at bernie's expense go ahead and be. 100 percent and you know that narrative started after south carolina where you had the entire establishment as well as the mainstream media. really changed the whole game in favor of joe biden they gave him like over $70000000.00 of basically 3 publicists framing him as the best candidate and that really is the reason i think he did so well because if you look at the polls between a week ago and then super tuesday they were drastically different joe biden got a huge bomb from the media portraying him as like the winner of the whole primary after south carolina a lot of people didn't even choose they were going to vote for until 2 or 3 days before super tuesday so that helped joe biden immensely plus you had the entire democratic establishment openly in our faces. with other candidates to drop out to benefit joe biden which didn't happen great people to judge dropping out was
10:31 am
that when coronation with the democratic party to help joe biden say with amy closures are you also have elizabeth warren stating in the race as in order to try to obstruct sanders exactly that's exactly what she did joe biden wasn't supposed to win in the northern states the only reason he did is because elizabeth warren took a chunk of support away from various and as progressive base that a lot of warm milk orders would have gone to sanders he probably would have won massachusetts in minnesota. stayed in the race let's go to the line all right now lionel you must be eating a whole lot of popcorn is watching this because i mean over the last few days to a number of gaffes that biden is committed i mean it's embarrassing to watch but you never see those gaps on c.n.n. and see you see a lot of it on fox and the internet but i mean this is a judge who was a menu for. candidate joe biden is now an avatar for the d.n.c.
10:32 am
go ahead lionel my dear dear friend peter nobody cares about the gas nobody cares about the amount of props nobody nobody cares about this you are by friend has am i proud to say we are denizens of the bubble we are in the said we talk to our friends we should believe how he confused his wife with his sister you know what the d.n.c. is saying it doesn't matter he is the candidate he is going to be the candidate in july and that's it and you know what as long as you keep mentioning him does it matter. ok i actually i'm going to date myself it reminds me of being there with peter sellers you know we have chauncey gardiner running for the democrats right now ok look it up everybody if it's a good good compared to like tell me why should i like to watch it daddy i want to watch janet let me go to you in new york i'll give my pieces were up in front here
10:33 am
is that the death of the d.n.c. knows this presidential race is lost and that's why they want biden because if bernie were to get the nomination he could change the way the democratic party is governed. the different the d.n.c. the clinton nights and obama and they want to keep everything the way it is they would rather lose to donald trump with biden than take a chance on bernie sanders that's my theory go ahead danny. we have to remember too in exactly what you're saying in september 2018 huge corporate democratic party donors in the d.n.c. with it were through all of huge donations to its institution just because elizabeth warren was being considered as the primary pick lizabeth warren has fallen far from grace ever since but bernie sanders represents a far more existential threat to the d.n.c. and the wall street interests the military industrial complex and the rest of them
10:34 am
the blog so to speak and so this was always a foregone conclusion the attempt to rig the election against bernie sanders we saw in 2016 and we saw it at the very beginning of the 2020 campaign where it seemed like the d.n.c. was trying to find anyone anyone they could find to take away votes to split the electorate it didn't end up working and so at the very last minute after nevada the d.n.c. decided it's time to get behind buy it in the person who can be most relied upon with his decades of experience shilling for wall street shilling for the mass incarceration regime shilling for the intelligence apparatus he will carry forward the agenda of the ruling elite and he can be most trusted to do that regardless of the gaffs we're garlics of the embarrassments that he may cause the party what really matters is not beating trump it's and it's ensuring that the rich stay rich and the rest of us suffer you know it's go back to the rand i think it's really interesting it's very interesting is that when you consider the money that mike
10:35 am
bloomberg pumped into a half a 1000000000 dollars all these control consultants and media and all that i mean he gave a lot of money to some very very bad people who will keep this business model go in and that's exactly what this is about they want to keep the status quo going they don't it's not about democracy not about what people want it's what they want their interests their careers and even being in opposition is a good gig for them. they're doing great go ahead in beirut as an opposition the d.n.c. has brought in tons of money and what danny was saying was 100 percent right by the way about the d.n.c. and the democratic establishment has more to lose from burr under bernie sanders than they do from letting trump win a 2nd term and you know let's not get this wrong i'm sure they have no illusions that joe biden is a terrible candidate to go up against trump and probably won't when they don't care at the end of the day. is more a. trump serves the class interests of the democratic establishment way more than
10:36 am
bernie sanders ever could bernie sanders actually challenges that and that's why they're fine with another term presidency and like you said they've had a great 3 years being in the opposition it's so easy to be in the opposition you can reel in money you know support us every time trump does something that without actually doing anything to challenge any of the policies that trump is pushing or putting into place they don't actually do anything it's all just symbolic nancy pelosi hand clapping you know to make everybody think we're the big opposition we're actually approving almost all of trump's legislative agenda at the end of the day they are more threatened by bernie sanders than they are by donald trump so they're happy they're perfectly fine with another trump presidency but you know what that's going to be a disaster not just for americans but for the rest of the world but they're just kind of willing to sacrifice everybody so that they can keep living large wall life sucks for everybody else ok let me go back to lionel in new york i mean you know
10:37 am
ever since the very beginning you know i mean it was hillary clinton that said the trump didn't have the temperament to be president he wasn't presidential in all but a lot of food is on the stumble me trowbridge really look super presidential against joe biden i mean just the optics of it all go headline. let me tell you what's happening right now let me let me do this right now hello bernie yeah listen i love the whole democratic socialist commie thing you did love did do me a favor you're going to be out will give you a 7 figure book deal like the last ambassador to ukraine your 4th or 5th lake house a job for your wife and your family and that said thanks a 1000000 now i am scray and that is it let me tell you something donald trump is the greatest president of my lifetime and if anybody thinks that any of these democratic clowns any of them could have
10:38 am
done 10 per cent of what he's done for this country and the world it should delusion let me try to make it even simpler the democratic party this iteration is dead or moribund through a pipe dream for i get it oh over her you had nothing yet never ever even came close to identifying it connecting with mr and mrs o. merican you want to do this grab a ton bird climate change crap what would your message what was bernie's message what was all of their message out tell you what it 'd was i'm not trump and as we say in the south that dog don't hunt so guess what it was your chance and you blew it ok ok everybody's getting there you know a bit of steam under the years here ok i will our other 2 guests are not big on
10:39 am
fans of donald trump so as they focus on the democratic party here danny how it there never guessed it's alright it's alright. one minute danny before we go to the break here this is what they're doing with joe and bernie is dividing the party irreparably go ahead danny one minute before we go to break yes that's. what exactly is happening and we have to look at this as who is benefiting and who won't benefit from the destruction of the democratic party i see the more about democratic party as being in need of replacement so what really needs to happen is that bernie sanders in this conflict between the establishment well hopefully dr enough energy of ordinary people to begin to think about other alternatives because yes the democratic party establishment will do anything to destroy bernie sanders and that will alienate a lot of the base that the democratic party needs to win ok we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the war on bird state party.
10:40 am

10:44 am
ok is go back to a room what i think is very interesting here is what some of the things that danny were saying because you know we all know that the primaries are the is the silly season that's what we call it for a good reason but you know traditionally the party comes together ok and you start papering over the differences i don't think that's going to happen this time i cannot see going on i know a lot of bernie bros and they're excellent people really nice people and really well educated people and they and they we have i have differences with them over policy as i'm a conservative but have a lot of respect for i'm ok for a lot of them that i've met they're not going to vote for joe biden no way we're going to stay home what do you think go ahead in beirut. i mean i think it's a mixed bag i think some will and a lot while there's no telling what the breakdown will be but i don't think that joe biden will have the sort of enthusiasm that he needs even without the bernie
10:45 am
bros burning supporters but even you know there might be like let's say there's going to be a significant number of people that after this this entire nominating process is finished and it's completely clear that it's been stacked against bernie sanders and they end up giving it to joe biden and there's going to be a lot of people who are irreparably alienated from the democratic party and will never want to do anything as a democrat ever again the democratic party is going to lose a big chunk of support and that's going to make it very very difficult for them to win an election against somebody who has a huge support base donald trump that's very committed that will come out and vote for him so i think this is definitely going to hurt them in the election in the long term it's going to hurt them as a party i don't think they care i think they're willing to blow up their party if it means keeping things the way that they are where you have a bunch of elites controlling everything and making a ton of money off of it yet because they have no moral compass ok it's been demonstrated over and over again you know let's go to the lionel you know you know
10:46 am
i know how you feel about donald trump but the interesting thing for me in looking at this rivalry inside of the democratic party it's a trump to take to do to basically destroy the legacy of obama took down hillary clinton and because the democrats can't get themselves in order and actually present a platform to run on because they're not they're just demonizing one candidate and propping up another that has nothing to do with policy. directly now that you can chalk up destroying the democratic party and it's their own damn fault go ahead. well you know peter let's go back to when i was a kid and by the way i am not a conservative or a liberal or a republican or even a democrat i don't even know what those terms mean but there was a time peter and you may remember this when the democrats stood for something antiwar human rights gay rights civil rights you name it they were industry they
10:47 am
stood for something i could check off what they are platforms were now it says breathtakingly cold here and blather i don't know what they're talking about say what you want to buy donald trump like them don't like them it doesn't matter nobody is ever scratched your head said what is this guy about what programs does he want what exactly is he offering me and promising me for some particular reason i haven't left the democrats they've left me and this isn't progressive thinking this isn't liberal and the sad part is a young people today believe this crap stands for something and psychobabble that's the problem you know it's go to danny here i mean i actually was quite liberal a good part of my life but i agree with lionel on the and not point is that they left me ok they don't talk to me they're not interested in my problems the minute i am the problem according to
10:48 am
a lot of people in the democratic party that is such you know they talk about diversity and inclusion but what they do is they push people out they pushed a lot of people out here you know danny explained to me why the democrats think hillary $2.00 is going to win this time around and joe is even weaker than hillary clinton because joe can't even a string a few sentences together i mean what are they smoking what are they thinking about here i mean this you know joe he says he is he's a senior citizen you know this is this is cruelty this is and i say this with a straight face i've by all accounts he's a nice guy ok but if you can figure out who his wife is and his sister is does he belong in the oval office going danny. well what you're saying is exactly right and there is a huge political problem presented joe biden's incompetence and his shady policy record we have to understand right now that the democratic party is in full
10:49 am
overdrive in hiding in concealing the past 40 years of neoliberal degradation and list war in the assault on working people that it has been totally complicit in and this need to hide that policy agenda which has all to me leave been a highlight of joe biden's entire campaign no one seems to want to really go at him for what he has actually done in his long lost reus career serving the establishment when what is really going to be a problem for him against donald trump is that you don't have to as lionel said you don't have to look very far to know what trump stands for and also what he's done he can go to the left against joe biden on issues of war and peace he can say that he signed a peace deal with the taliban he can say that he's always been for removing troops from syria were garlics of whether it happens or not and then he can move to his right and actually appeal to his base who he needs to appeal to on issues of
10:50 am
immigration in the economy while joe biden will have to spend over time hiding his policy agenda from the democratic party base which sees medicare for all the green new deal all these things as beneficial policies and the vast majority we're talking about 80 percent want a green new deal 58 percent want medicare for oh that's what he's going to have to hide from the. look so the democratic party establishment doesn't care danny but you said i think twice or 3 times he's going to have to go into overdrive his time is he can't go into overdrive. already ok let's go back to beirut here and i get a little bit over 100 right ok you know but one of the things you know when watching this whole saga spectacle play out. you know what i mean when you look at the entire what i think was 24 candidates and one point you know and again you know that the idea that terry in politics the diversity and all of this for the 70 year
10:51 am
old white man what happened here ok what have been mediocre in beirut well i mean i don't think it's a sara lee about whether he ended up with a white 70 year old man i mean that would have also been bernie sanders not a good bernie sanders it's not so much about that it's so much the politics it's more about the policies that joe biden represents you do have this new sort of woke identity politics that the democratic you know neal liberal establishment has embraced and a very superficial way and so it's not about the fact that joe biden's an old white man it's about the policies he's supported throughout his career whether it's the crime bill and pushing that whether it's literally whipping democratic votes for the war in iraq the most destructive. foreign policy decision of the 21st century or you know whether it's opposing busting and basically like you know be friending segregationist back in the day and also you know it's
10:52 am
just that's what's so shocking about this is joe biden's entire record is the opposite of all of these superficial woke up in the politics. slogans that the democrats have been you know throwing around for the past 5 or 6 years you have. lionel you want to jump in there go ahead you know. there's something i've got to say 2 things 1st to you my good friend and my new friends here. there's something about bernie sanders that i like he's a rebel he has been bernie sanders for 30 plus years what you see is what you get this is what he said he's authentic he believes in whether it's right or whether there's something to be said for that and agreed and number 2 i feel so sorry for yet again young people who put their money and their time and their effort and their belief in somebody only to have a pulled away and let me tell you you know who is going to be the person responsible for the ultimate double crossed bernie because he never had it in his
10:53 am
mind at all to take this all the way and that's the sad part because i'm telling you i just wanted to see maybe add to that it will get me politically or ideologically there's something about him that i'd like dammit he stands for something and that's refreshing you know you danny one of the thing i go i guess ever since super tuesday actually even before it i mean in my small circle that i talk on a very regular basis about politics there's one theme and most of my friends are conservative but most people almost all conservatives i know watch bernie very closely it's very interesting why doesn't he fight back why doesn't he take a punch it's politics after all. i think a lot of it has to do with the fact in electoral politics especially the democratic party at this time so-called civility this idea that you can challenge the establishment you can't challenge the way things work in the d.n.c.
10:54 am
but you can challenge the policies all of that has to do with why bernie sanders doesn't challenge the democratic party head on he does so in the way he organizes his campaign he does so in the way that he stands for things like medicare for all in a green new deal but he does not go up against the d.n.c. is that was true and i'm guessing some of that has to do with fear some of that has to do also with the fact that he wants to run within the democratic party establishment he wants to win an election within the democratic party in order to do so you have to kiss the ring of the d.n.c. and have the d.n.c. does things now i think that's a monumental mistake on bernie sanders this part especially after he was attacked with the russia gate farce when they tried to the washington post in the f.b.i. cia they tried to say that russia was trying to help him when he went along with that i think that was one of the 1st steps of bernie sanders looking weak in front of the democratic party establishment you know it's very interesting back to beirut i saw that in a way it with bloomberg what
10:55 am
a fumble what an unforced error the bernie committed right there i was i was astounded by here's a policy wonk guy that can tell you all kinds of things about everything i mean he's been in politics for so long and then he fumbles a fundamental thing that will stick to him it's go back to beirut the last 40 seconds here which is bernie got to keep fighting or is it is going to let the media destroy him go ahead beirut. i think bernie in the movement he build are going to keep fighting i just don't know if they can win and i'm just i'm a generally cynical person saw that i've kind of been cynical at the process from the beginning i didn't think they were going to let bernie when regardless and i still think that's the case the question is what do we do it. about it what do we do about it do we do what happened in 2016 where everybody just gets behind the nominee because that's what happened and i think that was a mistake and trump still won or do we do something different people even start having that conversation unfortunately i don't see that happening ok i'm on the move it around bernie sanders yeah i don't see that cut problem is the problem is
10:56 am
that the democrats have to start reimagining politics but they seem completely incapable of doing it that's all the time we have many thanks to my guests in new york and in beirut and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t.c. you next time remember. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to suffer actually 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 lots of arguments there's
10:57 am
a lot of conflict in the game between the close of the conflict i would say of the balls around money and also that money has made. us want to know each other. each other this could be just the state of california alone to make 6000000000 dollars you have to preserve complexes to get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about your so your care might anything. i don't trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet is not an issue with autoimmune disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see
10:58 am
a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. this is a story of women women was troubled histories and complex called cruises we know some of us did leave leave who lives out there. who were not. the person that is the cheesiness of the video considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a civil. all the last 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough to listen to the. world of women on death through. the world is driven by a dream shaped by those. who
11:00 am
bed. with influenza. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . the prime minister remains in hospital some 10 days after testing positive for corona virus as it's called growth of parliament to go online during the pandemic. 16 residents of a care home in glasgow died in just over a week was too strong tested positive for the bars and says local authorities struggle to gain access to data on that 1500000 most vulnerable despite the government giving supermarkets the same information we hear from a barrister shortly. the 1st person charged on the new ground of ours legislation has that conviction quashed after police misinterpret the law i'll be talking to a human rights lawyer that little takes. somebody there's
11:01 am
a court disappearing britain is locked down but others are forced to flood the police with out of sheer desperation as they figure through the gaps in the pay about. the prime minister remains in hospital after he was admitted last night due to persistent coronavirus symptoms that's as it emerges the antibody tests ordered by the government to detect immunity among those who've had the virus don't actually work or he cares he's and he joins me now with the latest so bring us up to speed with the latest developments today what we've seen over the weekend the number of deaths rising to just under 5000 yesterday and this morning we've had an announcement of the total number of deaths in england at $400.00 so that would make the total for the whole year of the united kingdom at least 3005300 deaths and we're waiting for the rest of the u.k.
11:02 am
figures to come in and to give us a final tally for the most recent 24 hour period but that would suggest that paps the number of deaths. it is slowing the rate of it is slowing and could give some hope that the united kingdom is over the worst of it although of course way too early to reach any conclusions but that's what authorities will be hoping now you know the prime minister boris johnson he tested a little over a week ago positive for covert 19 he had been self isolating at number 10 downing street but he had continued to show symptoms and last night at 8 pm when the queen was giving her prerecorded speech when her prerecorded speech was given broadcast to the nation he was taken some thomas' hospital just across the road which is a cross the river from downing street and from the houses of parliament and he spent the night there sources say he spent a comfortable night there his condition is still not thought to be very serious however there are other sources suggesting that the prime minister's state might be
11:03 am
worse than the government are initially letting on however robert generate he is the housing secretary and he's said that despite the prime minister being in hospital he is still very much in charge of government he remains in charge of the government he will be updated regularly in hospital as he has been once he's been self isolating let many other people who've been having to do that. now if boris johnson does remain out of contention and in fact can no longer lead then dominic robb who is the foreign secretary he would take over if you will a designated survivor type of person somebody who will stand in should the prime minister be incapacitated for any longer period of time and of course we've already seen the health secretary matt hancock testing positive for covert 90 although he has now since recovered the dean doris' as well so certainly there is an issue at the top of government where people have tested positive for cope with 19 even the
11:04 am
special advisor to the government dominic cummings showing symptoms although we don't know yet whether he also tested positive and so government has been forced to resort to technology we know that the cabinet has been holding meetings vias zoom that's the online video conferencing app and now also not just the cabinet but m.p.'s in a wider sense also using this technology in order to make sure that while they're working from home their work can still go on and what about the number ten's plans for all testing we heard last week number 10 saying that they were looking to ramp up testing and that they had bought millions of self testing kits that people can use at home over the last year there were reports that some of those tests had at themselves become contaminated somehow with coated 19 and since some of that the type of tests which have been purchased may not work properly because they don't work on people who are either asymptomatic or people of mild symptoms but only work
11:05 am
in the most severe of cases and so for that reason the government now saying that rather than buying up stock from other companies they are going to start working with companies and trying to develop them side by side in order to get to a point where they have tests that do work. thank you very much indeed for all of that's. 16 residents in a care home in glasgow died in just over a week while 2 of the staff have tested positive for the virus or who died at the burlington coat home had underlying health conditions but none had tests for covert 19 as they are only admitted for those in hospital or meanwhile it emerged that local authorities are still waiting for data on vulnerable people in need even though the government has already given supermarkets the same information. it concerns data health 1500000 clinically vulnerable people who can't go out in any circumstances information was shared with the likes of tesco and sainsbury's to
11:06 am
ensure that they are provided with essential but some local councils are still unable to access the information promised by the government despite repeated promises from government that councils would get comprehensive information about people being shielded most councils are still only getting partial or incomplete data we don't know who has requested support whether they need food or medicines urgently or whether they have any dietary or religious requirements amid privacy concerns over the use of the information at all health secretary matt hancock is said that data protection laws do have an opt out for national emergencies like this one and the government says that it is appearing to all the relevant legislation we are working with the food retailers to make sure home deliveries and click can collect can be prioritized for the most clinically vulnerable who are isolated in the current to national emergency sharing information will make a real difference to protecting vulnerable individuals and all information will be
11:07 am
shared in strict accordance with data protection laws. it's also been revealed that vulnerable immigration detainees with underlying health conditions are set to be placed in what amounts to solitary confinement for at least 3 months in an attempt to tackle the outbreak of some of the detainees a broken immigration removal center received a letter from the home office requesting them to stay in their cells for the next 3 months that's according to the guardian face to face contact should be avoided while gatherings and other activities the band and the only access to fresh air and exercise will be arranged as the regime allows a response to that the home office has said that those measures are in place to protect staff and detainees or more on the plight of vulnerable people during the coronavirus pandemic i'm now joined by a family law barrister paula rowan agent paula thank you so much for joining us oh get out of me thank you so much let's start with the risk to those in care homes what can be done to mitigate chances of the virus taking hold well 1st of all when
11:08 am
i read the story and think and i say my deepest sympathies to those families who suffered losses not only in the cabin but throughout the country at this moment but my 1st thought when i read the story was why on earth have these fungal people be placed in this position where testing is not available i don't understand you would have thought that local authority that private care homes would automatically had just egypt's available to they are no doubt apply or a city and you just police this type of information would have been available to them immediately and we know there's a lack of testing ability throughout the entire country do you think no perhaps just a devising the cameras to use personal protection equipment it's all really the government can do under this very serious crisis. it clearly isn't enough and we've now lost 16 lives in one venue potentially due to this disease it doesn't take
11:09 am
a rocket scientist or somebody with a medical degree to understand that way you are one rouble and when you are surrounded by vulnerable of this you should have that access to the information that you require to ensure that these honorable people can be protected and i think they've been let down and what a balance the fact that vulnerable people's data is being shared with supermarkets but not councils what do you make of that. but i genuinely didn't believe it i would have thought it was an april fool's joke when when i was given this information you got nagel's artie's going to the press with this information because they are so desperate to be able to help on real people in mecca me to say and then not being given the information that they were promised and yet down the road tesco or same sprays or whoever else is being given this information and i don't need to remind you that we were told ironically quite frankly the sultan a that the supermarkets you are supposed to be protecting him and system these kind of people had made a 50 percent profit during this time frame like your thoughts also on the
11:10 am
immigration detention the government argues that solitary is all about saving lives . and we understand that because even those of us in the community are being told to self isolate where possible or at least to keep contact with other members of the community to a minimum but that flies in the face of what the ministry of justice are doing in regards to prisons that is people who have been found guilty of an effect and are current be incarcerated they are either being told that they can be released early on license all they are being asked if they are showing symptoms today and isolate themselves it seems that if you are an immigration or dishonesty it's the opposite you are being told that you must sell for that price later and be in a contained away from everybody else and yet here we have prisoners who are allowed to be released out in license doesn't make sense to me and i've seen discrimination

there was also kept in custody while awaiting a hearing and was sent back to her cell after refusing to identify herself british transport police a since apologized there will be understandable concern that our interpretation of this new legislation has resulted in an ineffective prosecution this was in circumstances where officers were properly dealing with someone who was behaving suspiciously in the station and to stop believed to be travelling without a valid ticket regardless we fully accept that this shouldn't have happened and we apologize for more on this i'm done joined by human rights lawyer. the great to see the softening thank you for joining us the police have admitted they got this one wrong but i suppose that's forgivable given these uncertain times. well there is confusion and i would agree with you normally it is forgivable but this particular case is very extreme and what happened in fact was it was

a journalist at a newspaper who kicked up in the press release from the british transport police when they were publicizing that they had just been response will for the 1st prosecution under the current virus act and so the very diligent journalist insisted on seeing the charge she then was concerned that it didn't seem to be right she contacted me and it probably took me about 10 minutes to say to her that she was running the story that they prosecuted under the wrong act and in fact that the conviction was unlawful so then this story featured in the newspaper and subsequently i think yes probably within 24 hours the case was taken back to court and that conviction was set aside but this is a situation where this woman spent 2 nights in police cells in custody issue was unlawfully detained they had no power to do that she was then trying to in a court in her absence and again there were no steps taken by the district judge to

ascertain whether she had any mental health issues whether there was anything else going on with her such as autism even a language barrier and all this happened within alice in court and she ended up criminalized did she not make the situation more difficult isn't it best in these situations to tell the police who you are and what you're up to simple as that the difficulty is that there are also a lot of vulnerable people out there and yes you and i probably would be in a situation where we would immediately be seen as cooperating in an inappropriate way but it doesn't get around the fact that the police were acting outside their powers and those mixed up to. absolutely different laws. and what happens there is sort of like crush the sort of mashed together 2 different laurels and not only did they make the error then you had different

police force which was not some group please also i think her detention so all surprising basically her imprisonment for 2 nights and then you had a prosecution lawyer also prosecuting completely wrongfully and then what it is you're charged one more for the could just one reasonable just wanting to make your life easier now police have these new laws to deal with lock down not just suspected infectious people is it now more clear carter. that there's always been the 2 separate laws the difficulties the police don't understand i didn't entirely blame the police for that because the government ringback keeps setting out guidelines which go beyond what it actually says in the regulations and said there needs to really be action very very quickly to train the police so that they understand what their powers are and they understand the limitations of their powers thank you for joining us thank you. people across the country have been
