3:00 am
whew hew. hello there i'm the military man you're watching in question broadcasting live from r.t. american national headquarters in washington d.c. we want to welcome our viewers from across the nation and all around the world here are the top stories this evening 1st the state governments have issued closures and lockdowns to combat the coronavirus pandemic but why haven't we seen anything on a federal level but if you details next in a full report then after 911 americans gave up their privacy in return for security in the form of the patriot act well there's already talk of creating a coronavirus surveillance system we're going to discuss this with an expert plus
3:01 am
the granddaughter of robert f. kennedy is found dead in the waters of the chesapeake bay not far from washington d.c. we're going to discuss this latest kennedy family tragedy all next all right it's time to boost your news i.q. . after orders such as shelter in place or stay at home were issued in hot spot areas around the country some are questioning if the federal government will go even further in the name of safety can we expect drastic changes in our future here's our t. correspondent natasha suite with some of the answers. signs like bees citing peach and park closures had some americans concerned that the government's response to cope at 19 will eventually lead to martial law but some security experts say that's
3:02 am
simply not the case. the droves of military vehicles for the national guard has some of the us on high alert wondering if our liberties are already being violated with shelter in place and stay at home mandates and hot spot areas 15865 individuals currently tested positive for covert 1000 that represents a 10.7 percent increase over yesterday you need to stay at home but when you have to go out we are recommending that we use non-medical grade masks or facial coverings and not take the ones that are reserved for 1st responders some believe things will be taken a step further by declaring martial law but with something like the coded 1000 pandemic be a legitimate cause for it well it's been imposed in places like pakistan and thailand it's never been implemented in the u.s. on a national basis and according to defense secretary marc esper in new york washington
3:03 am
and california the president has approved mobilizing national guard troops under title $32.00 status which provides them full access to federal resources but still allows them to be managed by the state government to be clear this is not a move toward martial law as some have eroni asli claims or right now the military is able to distribute food and medical supplies in california you can see them here helping to create a field hospital in santa clara near san francisco for covert 1000 patients but there are instances in which the national guard can be deployed to maintain order according to william banks a professor of law at syracuse university the insurrection act may be invoked only following an invasion insurrection or widespread domestic violence and that only states attempting to leave the union would enable. the insurrection act authority but with mandates like shelter in place ordered in san francisco or stay at home in los angeles there is a huge difference when it comes to states rights in the us restrictions in china
3:04 am
the epicenter of where the crown of iris originated were extremely strict after the cove in 1000 outbreak even to the extent of forcing people into isolation centers unlike china the us has state sovereignty so while we are being encouraged to stay home as much as possible there are states with a much more casual approach in states like arkansas businesses have the option to remain open even in a national emergency situation governors possess primary authority when it comes to taking control of stopping the spread of disease within their states right now travel is not banned within the country although highly being discouraged if there weren't events to warrant martial law such as a massive disaster or an invasion and local authority was simply gone then martial law could essentially happen but if authorities can keep order that invoking it would violate several constitutional rights reported in los angeles and harshest suites artsy. privacy or public health that is the question in the
3:05 am
time of code 19 mass surveillance can be a useful tool and helping stop the spread of the virus but does that mean people will have to give up their civil liberties parties alex lyall a bitch has the report. beyond the front lines. there's another kind of war being waged against the corona virus from smartphones to eyes in the sky high tech has become a powerful weapon to fight covert 19 here's israel's prime minister and a who not been done much to we will dramatically increase the tracking possibility and the quarantine of those who are positive we started today to deploy the digital technology that locates the people that were in contact with corona patients we will tell those people themselves for 14 days like israel authorities in south korea and taiwan are also using smartphone location data to enforce quarantines in russia moscow police are getting similar results with the help of facial
3:06 am
recognition enabled cameras the police force has busted over 200 people who have disobey the quarantine orders instead of isolation countries like kenya have chosen another route focusing on social distancing kenya has tapped into smartphone applications that use sensors not only can these devices accurately calculate the distance between people they can also track when crowds begin to form however although the intention seem admirable many earth questioning if privacy rights are being considered when using high tech to fight the corona virus for example in the u.k. britain's national health service is tracking the spread of covert 900 with the help of american privacy by a later pallant or a big data company is also in talks with france and germany and is currently working with the u.s. government as well in the u.s. the situation gets even more complicated to better be able to enforce stay at home orders as well as look for large crowds u.s.
3:07 am
public health authorities are turning to loosely regulated advertisers who could pretty much track a person's every move and while advertisers use that info to sell you stuff the intelligence community can use it for let's just say other read. since let's face the facts since 911 individual rights have eroded in the us abuses were exposed by edward snowden as a reminder but that doesn't mean that things can't be done differently like now in the fight against the coronavirus civil liberty advocates have some suggestions 1st data driven decisions must be made by health officials not other government bodies such as law enforcement in addition surveillance tools need to be justified of clear purpose and its potential impact in the fight against covert $1000.00 must be established to wing it out against its costs which include its effect on individual rights 3rd tight restrictions should be outlined to how and by whom the data can be used and finally the data collection should expire when the virus goes away so
3:08 am
should related surveillance these measures are not only reasonable but doable in fact right now engineers and other experts from around the globe are working on using smartphone technology to track the spread of the corona virus while respecting privacy all things considered technology can be a very important tool in times of emergency such as now even though we might have to give up a little more privacy for things to work and as long as mergence the measures don't last the emergency money would be fine with that all in the name of combating covert 90 for r t m alex mileage. so as the u.s. government continues to make comparisons of the coronavirus with some of america's greatest tragedies like 911 or pearl harbor many are wondering if similar legislation following those major advance will take shape now such as seeing the
3:09 am
patriot act after $911.00 so joining us to discuss all of that charles moreno he is the c.e.o. of sentinel security solutions and former secret service supervisory agent charles thank you so much for being with us today so we have already seen. in emergency financial legislation rushed through congress in response to corona virus but do you think we will see patriot act style bills float through that might perhaps further chip away at our privacy or civil rights because of this new pandemic. thanks for having me not right away i think something like that even consideration of something like the patriot act or even the foreign intelligence surveillance court the pfizer courts which were implemented after september 11th and are our preventative nature right to prevent a future terrorist attack against this country i don't think that's what we're seeing right now and really necessarily would be quite useful in terms of the way
3:10 am
google 'd for example is tracking people in real time as it relates to the covert 19 you know following september 11th with the implementation of the patriot act in the pfizer courts which expanded surveillance techniques and technologies to law enforcement the american public and congress were behind that very much to keep themselves safe privacy advocates on the other hand came out very strongly against that and it still goes on today regarding the patriot act and finds the courts from these groups because they really thought that the time line was indiscriminate right it never ending and also in what they viewed as a as a lack of controls now on the other hand what we see with the google roll out of their covert 1900 tracker and the sharing of that information with medical professionals is we see a greater acceptance from those privacy advocates in terms of the way it's being
3:11 am
use while they still have the underlying concerns similar to longevity and controls it just the fact that the medical community is handling this information is giving privacy advocates greater greater comfort. as we know a lot of people that handle medical data is sometimes it gets into the wrong hands and and can be used for nefarious reasons as well but but take one case for example and one bill kentucky kentucky. it has been under a mandatory lockdown for weeks now by governor andy bashir and they've found a precarious case there and one man who lives with a confirmed positive coronavirus patient and another roommate who is suspected of having the virus so this man was supposed to isolate for 2 weeks while this man apparently kept leaving us house so i jabbed placed and monitor on this man could this be a peek into our future especially given that in china they were forced to download
3:12 am
this app that somehow monitors their health and tracks their movements. it's a great question the ultimate goal here of these types of programs has to be the overall safety and security of the american public i don't think anybody can argue with that you're discussing a specific state lockdown here related to cove it the states actually have a lot more authority in these types of cases than the federal government does for example deployment of the national guard we see them helping in on the medical side right now so in that situation you really are dealing with a criminal offense and what you have is you have the state who is aware that they have a repeat violator of the state home order and they have decided that the ankle monitoring is the way that they're going to ensure this individual stays in the home so there you have a state example of how they're choosing to enforce their mandate for
3:13 am
a certain individual to remain in the home. well i think a lot of people learning of that story find that kind of shocking and especially given that that states right now have more power than the federal government and that's just you know a topic that where we're starting to come across now is that should the federal government step in at this point and what about the concerns of physical security as well with the number of store closures in basically every town every city restaurants are shut down some places are boarding up their shops their their windows to prevent looters from ravaging their wares is there any growing concern with the number of people out there who have lost their jobs the government checks haven't arrived at times are getting tough that we could possibly see people resort to these desperate measures like robbery or looting and are police forces around the country ready in case something like that happens. you know well i would agree with the times are certainly tough both on the health and financial side of things
3:14 am
but i don't think that that's the majority of what's causing the problems here with the local crime as it relates to close businesses unfortunately during times of crisis and this is a political to both the local criminal acts as well as the greater threat against the the homeland is that you're always going to have unfortunately bad actors during times of crisis. on the side of policing you also have large police departments that are also dealing with this crisis just like every other organization an american citizen is to take the new york city police force for example they are also balancing a high level of infected personnel that are impacting their operations so each of the departments are going through very much the same challenges that the american public and businesses are on the same hand and on the other hand unfortunately you
3:15 am
do have bad actors that are going to take care take advantage of this situation be at local breaking. or cyber crimes turn in terms of trying to scam people out of money it really comes in all shapes and forms and what i would say you know to those that are doing these types of crimes is give it a break you know we should be coming together as a country in all ways shapes and forms and that includes giving our law enforcement professionals who don't have a choice to show up to work just like the medical professionals that are working each and every day to keep us safe give them a break letter prioritize lead and focus on what needs focusing on right now and stop it. on that note we'll leave it right there because that is a great last word hopefully they will listen charles merino c.e.o. of sentinel security solutions thank you so much for sharing that expertise. thanks for having me. and another tragic death in the d.c. area this one the granddaughter of robert f.
3:16 am
kennedy and her 8 year old son sparking chatter once again of the so-called kennedy curse we're going to discuss that and then over in sports regina hamm brings us some of the best chips on the pitch from major league soccer want to throw back there in fact. during this crisis the question us always been. a foul over there is the federal reserve and other central bankers inflate our reflate are pumped up. quick enough to hurt any downdraft in the stock market i know economically that's got a lot of problems associated with that but that's the big question. with the coronavirus now officially declared a pandemic the world faces the additional burden of an oil market collapse this
3:17 am
comes at a time when demand for crude was already. some are calling this the ultimate perfect storm how this all. ends. the bodies of 40 year old navy kennedy mickey n. and her 8 year old son gideon have been found in $25.00 foot waters just 2 and a half miles away from their family home along the potomac river in a maryland suburb made was found over the weekend and her son just hours ago today this after mother and son paddled out on a canoe to retrieve the boy's lost ball but witnesses say the pair were whisked
3:18 am
away by a sudden gust of wind so joining us to discuss this sad story host of news with rick sanchez rick sanchez so rick on many levels in this sounds like a tragic local news story but these are kennedys so the family lineage turns this into a national story people are talking about the so-called kennedy curse again what are your thoughts. well it's pretty simple i mean when you think about something like this you have to ask yourself i want every single person who's watching us right now who knows their own time or history that ask themselves the question how often in your family has someone. tragically and in a newsworthy matter how often has someone in your family been accused of murder how often has someone in your family been accused of rape and it's been headlines on the news cast well. this is amazing just think about this for a minute stay with me here we're talking about
3:19 am
a really. one of which was the president the united states john f. . kennedy who was assassinated publicly as we've all seen on the support or from and somewhat controversially his brother who would have been the next president of the united states there's no doubt about our robert f. kennedy our of k. assassinated right in los angeles again on national television and teddy kennedy there are other brother takes his quote unquote girlfriend on a drive home after a party drives over a bridge she dies crazy and john f. kennedy jr the son of the president of the late for the united states right is flying his plane suddenly apparently he doesn't know it because there's a weather issue he drives plane right into the water and does. what one of the kennedys accused of murder one of the kennedys is accused of rape i mean this is a family that has seen so many tragedies and now i think we have this video of this
3:20 am
search of what's been going on for the last 6 days on maryland in maryland i should say it's actually a city that's like right on the coast of the chesapeake river which leads out to the atlantic ocean any one of us who has who goes to the lake or goes to the beach knows that you know from time to time there are current from time to time there are issues that could become problematic this is a very simple story the mom maev kennedy townsend was in the backyard like most people trying to stay away because of everything going on with the coronavirus. the 8 year old son gideon was with her they were playing kickball and suddenly somebody kicked the ball into the water somebody had to go get the water to retrieve it you know how it is we all do this somebody has to go to the water well they decided to go to a canoe to go get the ball and as they got into the canoe suddenly a big gust came and it just blew them away a neighbor who lives just down the street says he saw them for the canoe with them
3:21 am
still inside about a mile away. contacted the police they got a helicopter they started looking immediately but by the time they got there for some reason they couldn't find it. unfortunately we just learned this morning her body was found in 25 feet of water. the sun apparently has still not yet been found we don't know what it was just found a letter in there literally a couple hours ago just found a little boy a little a little ways away from where mom's body was. that's you know it's just heartbreaking for any parent. well i mean look at i think you alluded to this at the very top of this story in the news media we do these stories all the time and sometimes we have to choose what is a story what is salient what is newsworthy what is noteworthy the story for global network newscasts like ours the one that you and i do usually the death of a family unfortunately is not newsworthy if it's just a local story this goes beyond that there is something as people have noted with
3:22 am
this particular family that makes it really interesting in the fact that we're now learning that this this this this wonderful apparently by all indications a mother who loved her family and her daughters and her son who apparently she died with on this what a horrible tragic story but one that really is a in a sense to a bigger story about a family that has been seeing tragedies now for decades yet and not that long ago just a few months ago another kennedy cousin apparently died of a drug overdose overdose that the family compound in massachusetts i mean it's just like you said why family has experienced death after death after death after death on end and real quickly rick we're about to be at the time but i want to talk about one more wild domestic story here involving one of our own nasa astronauts and her spouse because apparently it's been overlooked largely by the media it involves the nasa astronaut her name and mcclain and her estranged wife summer warden who is
3:23 am
a former air force. intel officer they were going through an ugly divorce and custody battle over their 6 year old son ward and made the accusation the mcclain hacked into her bank account from outer space while she was stationed on the international space station pick up their record. so her war judges decided to go into law and they say her story doesn't add up you know she says look she was up there on the space station she was hacking into my computer looking at my banking records so it's like there's a case well unfortunately the facts at least the dreams of all she told him so as the court didn't actually so what i saw our story are these are as weird as i believe there we go rick these are water cooler talk if we were all still at work by the water cooler so well it will never i pear rick sanchez looking forward to our chaps tomorrow thank you. all right let's head over to the sports h.q.
3:24 am
