it's what i was as much vocal support during the run up to the general election so will the labor party be mournful for sporting events and from that well before the general election jeremy crowe been down our butts and myself and others spoke out against the extradition of judy the sound show believes should play a part so it was clear on these matters of course that i have politics out and i have to decide what it wants to lead she going forward to be clear on these matters but it's a matter for labor members to decide. if the labor leadership can they reject bergen their joining me now is someone who refuses to be silent over julian songe things like co-founder roger waters roger thanks for coming in the studio at last a sign of their finely exactly you've been campaigning for julie as songe eloquently they have talked about them by richard berke and you know that the british guardian newspaper maybe channel 4 news if you watch that you could be forgiven for thinking you and richard bergen and others are basically campaigning

for a russian agent who's committed sex crimes i mean everything that he's said now in strew. how they're even having these extradition. trial for julian assange is weird because it's goes completely contrary as we know to u.k. law so our law the law of this country the little that supposed to represent all wear wigs or addition treaty with the elated today has a tree superhit specifically precludes anything that could be claimed to be a political crime or a political misdemeanor which obviously this is because julian is his only crime is to speak the truth to the people and he's speaking truth though to a powerful elite to do not want the truth spoken to the people to go to serve is obviously believes that the espionage act that hacking these are crimes that you can exert i think they do i thin as 6000 the powers that be in washington d.c.

have decided that they want judean killed or at least imprisoned for the rest of his is health it's extremely poll. and and they want to tell for that as an example it's frightening to know that any minute they could be that standard issue kicking in the door and your talk of and i stuck into beaumarchais where you will stay until they've had their way with you which is to silence you and any who might follow you which is that which is i mean apart from the fact that julian assange. is clearly a great journalists he went he wouldn't and he went to places that other journalists were not going and he developed methods. to help we the people to find out the truth of what was going on in our names in other posts that were like as richard bergen was saying the collateral murder in baghdad well why do you

think then that amnesty international has chosen to declare a surge is new prisoner of conscience i did not know that what an earth does not mean i mean i'm a i'm asking you because you know you have said you could probably explain to me them what the hell is a prisoner of conscience they've come up amnesty have in the in the last few years come up with some very strange feels some very strange things are not necessarily based on anything that you and i might consider to be the fact of the matter how entrenched of these elite forces then kissed starmer secure stormers one of the leading candidates to replace jeremy corbyn as leader of the opposition nearly oversaw as the head of the prosecution service here the edge persecution of julian sons. is it all through our society or the closely is that you know

politicians politicians are tricky animals because they've always got one eye on them on the meter they're always looking to see where they stand how much power they have how popular they are or they aren't or who if it careen have to perform and look at them says over and over musicians to a very young aspiring musician later taylor swift as someone started talking like you presumably rick would do the recording companies would get quite alone at alienating audiences well that it is true in my in my industry absolutely. there's not a great you don't hear straight talking coming out of i'm 76 years old i've been doing this for 55 years of a you know not quite so. and also i have survived to date with but now brits in canada wrote a letter to the major m.o.p.

saying that it was appalling that they were what is selling tickets for my shows what they always claim is i'm a self about you know a valid they said a woman of about long standing a valid anti semi who spreads a treat. that's a could according to them and they do it because i support b.d.s. because i support human rights lawyer divestment and sanctions a vote could have essman is or was the e.u. does not support now explicitly do you think there's something different about this obviously jeremy corbin was heavily attacked for supporting palestine and bernie sanders whose relatives died in the holocaust some of been accusing bernie sanders of anti semitism trying to hang time the time to hang over in support of well as and his son is with the same code that they hung kolby him with by smearing smear tactics and this trait sure of judean is so this post of the now with the with the

flag. this is why we feel a lot of the time well the d.n.c. obviously has be village to be attacking bernie sanders over the primary season just as they did in 2016 where they prevented him from becoming the next president of the united states then could you see why people are thinking it's a russian agent because it stemmed from wiki leaks the main russian gate of the you know russia has been the biggest waste of time literally wasting everybody's time for the last where did it come from i mean it's so due to chris there were about an identifiable ball steering the 2016 how in a minute what foreign countries interfering in american elections what about $100000000.00 that adelson has just given to don't trump the game re-elected there's a lot of money arguably also going to certain interests in latin america trying to

overturn the the old pink tide if we have a little bit of those we know that's how the game works on going to was hosted by prime minister boris johnson in downing street he met with foreign secretary dominic rob what do you make of these pictures of him being feted here in london. it makes me want to throw up because guido is of the right wing thug who was used by the united states government as the figurehead in there or sent to overthrow the jouni elected democratic. government of the sovereign country of venezuela in contravention of every international law and the un charter and everything else because why because they want to make money this isn't a hidden secret war leg during the eighty's this is the european union and britain both recognizing what it was your shows how it was a city a state in the attack by near liberal economics and by the war mongering of the

powerful elites how insidiously has wormed its way into places of power it's a bit like in germany the bundestag coming out and declaring. b.d.s. upon it member not what they said but they had some effect they say so you have well i mean all leadership labor candidates well the arguably agree that you know. how to. i mean every time there's no election when i was a kid our front room was a committee room for the local labor party whoa the local labor party from 55 on and before that for the compass botti so my mom would be turning in no growth a lot of people have also been saying why do leftwing candidates like corbin like saunders talk about palestine and why do they talk about venezuela these are irrelevant to newer liberal destruction

a manufacturing jobs why are they relevant because you always campaign on these particular issues that everyday people concerned about their own lives might not think relevant to this trust me. 2 of my great heroes in life ken loach and john pilger who sadly come areas in australia go out from him this morning but i've seen children poaches 2 hour long documentary in that school the the dirty war on the n.h.s. and it's about the dismantling of the national health service in this country so if you really want to get me started i could weep. sitting here today knowing that the national health service which is the jewel in the crown of the possibility that we might be moving towards a more equitable world off to the world war to see it being sold down the river by the boris johnson's and suddenly blair as of margaret thatcher's of this world.

just breaks my heart it's a disaster for it to be privatized any of it well be that more for roger waters up to this short break plus is the death of british t.v. star caroline flack renew scrutiny of rupert murdoch's media empire we speak to a man at the heart of a u.k. inquiry into mainstream media good nominated steve coogan about media manipulation and his new film greed satirizing the billionaires of the fashion industry told visible coming up above to have going underground. has changed. lives with pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy. to. price that.

was their dependency an addiction to opiates the long term use that really isn't scientifically just now study actually suggests that. the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefits but actually that they might because the long term.

something. on the stand could you know a little spark that same. tone that i desire to know. how much older the. local just to. show. you some will push. you produce not just on thoughts and you will not a monolith so there is too much stuff to teach the depletion. of.

the world is driven by shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back i'm still with roger waters the interconnectedness here that i'm really addressing with you guys julie that suddenly we're just now he's talking about guantanamo torture he's talking about the killing of journalists and civilians in iraq but then all of this talk about pharmaceutical companies and all

sorts of corruption and wrongdoing and he's all around look around the world you see this as you. hugely interconnected as it is hugely interconnected and that's that's one thing that chiz may help somewhat is that people are in the streets in sunday out though in chile right and where where where it started with a tiny crease in subway faces something that they've realized now that there is a movement in latin america and south america but also the in france and maybe one day there will even be an uprising in the united kingdom to say you know enough so but it was the other uprisings as a border johnson well supposedly he wanted to huge a majority in poland was coming to our will come to that but you know before i do in colombia now even though they even though the government there is very very extremely right wing and his dictatorship in the people who are on

a general strike the whole country is rights as well and bolivia they're not they're refusing to accept the coup again u.s. financed coup that has just taken place getting rid of the julie democratic again britain recognizes the new leader of bolivia well 1st johnson would say anything. i mean and i find it very difficult you know to kape straight face which even but the mention of that buffoons name i'm sorry. but it's no different than the united states where i live how do you get these people rise into these positions of extraordinary political power arguably donald trump who came to power antiwar ticket i mean i i spoke to judaism's in the ecuadorian embassy about how hillary clinton could will of got us into a full scale war involving syria i'm sure she trump was an antiwar. yes and yet and

yet united states involvement in the wars abroad has actually increased in their spending more money on it than they were in any previous administration under trump i mean and let's not write off the possibility that trump may do something to plead sanely stupid at the behest of the neocons visibly iran is already has murdering that monitoring customs eliminate again exactly well if you can get millions around the world to support during a songe like he is a latter day nelson mandela identity politics at least has been presumably there's been massive progress on it since you started out but even in their. own leg josie manning who is refusing to testify against really isn't it's day 346 of her exacerbations ton credit was a brave woman people think chelsea manning is a traitor and that she deserves everything that she gets the hatred was so intense

music has been such a great part of rebellion against elites over history obviously in south africa and so on presumably that's why you turned up outside the home office here to protest about the incarceration of julie the surge hardly any people turned up i have have to say are you saying that's again propaganda hardly any people turned up and not a single word was printed in any english or american newspaper of that event apart from on r t but obviously what journalists that all the television networks here would say no one told them don't cover roger waters singing wish you were here in ignorance of performance so it's a would it's in their heads oh. people aren't stupid what were you seeing journalists coming out and in bed drove sin there hundreds of thousands to defend judea you don't have to write your own people's foreheads so they read it every

morning when they go up to shave they go oh look of mustn't step out of line or i won't get that promotion i was because i won't be given that job over this one how about what happens when you fly a big pig above a demonstration of the mother of all parliaments what are you drawing to do will get attention that for instance a pig that would go flying over here now. has got a big picture of julian in the american flag over his face and it says free is in on the of the so it is describes the moment where it's going to start from where it's going to finish and the fat going to be on air and i'm going to open my big mouth in public so. for may the pick has become a way of attracting attention to because people recognize it so it's familiar it's a bit like we don't need no education is familiar to most people it's in their minds

so that in and if you want to get people's attention then and and and. you have access to iconic images so well it is lyrics and news do you think the tide is not turning in julia surges favor even some mainstream media outlets may be reporting on this trial starting on monday and realizing that the very same out there that the reporting of the case may not be able to do journalism i think. fingers crossed you know. one dreads to show any faith that just at this particular moment while he's languishing in belmarsh in a tiny cell a man has committed no crime and as we know the strings are being absolutely pulled for the united states it's a tiny courtroom and it's almost full of american advisors american lawyers sitting

behind the english to see who's prosecuting who's prosecuting the case so. blue we will those of us who care about democracy and freedom and human rights and more importantly running mate and the magna carta and english jurisprudence and the law desperately want to believe that the law will prevail because this is not the law it's a kangaroo court and to have a kangaroo court taking place in my home and distresses me beyond all belief is this what my father my grandfather died for no it's not we need to be able to rely on the law and this is a sure or come on people let's that it's. take to the streets where i am or if you will just thank you well while julian assange has been mostly ignored by mainstream media one story that hasn't is the death of reality t.v.

host caroline flack questions similar to those are asked after the deaths of princess diana and amy winehouse are being asked all over again about all agog newspapers and ironically flacks last on screen performance is to be in a film starring steve coogan himself at the heart of an inquiry into president thinks the film greed examines the dark side of the fashion industry from the perspective of a billionaire businessman going underground caught up with the film's director michael winterbottom and coogan on the red carpet and started by asking coogan about using comedy to shine a light on the billionaire class the more clever more sophisticated super rich try to keep a low profile and don't attract attention to themselves if it. sucks someone who uses a inspiration if you like for this is someone who did did attract attention to yourself deliberately and used in self. service they would go ahead public figure out his company. and that in a way helped shine

a light on the. super rich are you but that's what we were about were about people being supposed to do it people have money to do what they like but. there's such a mash. disparity between the super rich and the super poor but it comes about the people have to say what is acceptable you know. what you know and to talk about it because the one thing the super rich have is influence a young they can influence politicians they can influence you can buy influence by interest in newspapers and what they're able to do is to some extent you can control a brain agenda i'm not stopped their gender they want to they want to privatise want to know when no one talks about this stuff and what we're trying to do so is make me a story that michael winterbottom. i did say at the end of it the ending of a storm. of the haitian on salaries of the c.e.o.'s. pay that walks in bangladesh

you know i marked out yeah it was some sort of so do you think that this kind of represents and some walking interests of the various capitalism basically the council is crossed that this film it's amazing i support filmmakers i support you know i support creativity what the problem of the for the entertainment industry is it's a constant tension between art and commerce and and when given a choice i will always side with overcoming. what you find is that the world is run by people who are box of life people who will always basically close ranks if that if that the cartel of have is that a threat just about the so i support my claim well we've seen over the past couple of years especially the political climate bill you know as a super rich are getting ever more scrutinized so do you think comedy like this do you think is not helping with that sort of i think scrutiny that. i think you know i well meaning documentary that appeals to you know often is. preaching to the

converted speech to the choir just say and. i think comedy is a really good way to using comedy as a way to show you the pill. of difficult subjects is there's a good thing you said the best use of comedy i've done that document is straight talk mostly about inequality and the way in which because it's grown over the last 40 years this felt like it you know and say the way you have a character like which we create a space we could create really start to be like that. market and hopefully people get by the end of the film feel that you know the world should be changed in some way and it has been reported of course sony did copy and of the film you did one c.e.o. salaries compared to the walkers but do you think that represents a kind of in some locking interests of you know the 1000000000 us just by being in different industries. so you think when he talked that's the system for the parents and he's because i think that they don't want the films i saw by individuals i don't like one brand is bad one brand is good it's what you get the system the

market forces all the brands compete against other over the world for the cheapest possible place where they go to fight each other and can i say i was here for the no go to bangladesh get i get cheaper they get me a multi-year cheaper so it's like you know all the brands are doing all the brands use the same fashion so much as it's about to get in with you guys it's not say this part is a bad thing but if you think that the owners are is worth $60000000000.00 but the women who make the toasters are ok pay $0.50 an hour or $0.60 an hour whatever is to pay and what you wish to do in that gap is and what actions you want consumers to take off the stock i think they should be i think the place crashes bless them because if you can we take a look at look for i think i think all suppliers and that's great but that takes me like 5 buying free range and why they tend to just get expensive it's like leasing it makes some difference to the best way to the best way to chase have got to say what we want we don't want companies to be allowed to buy there's no way we want to break a system or you know we don't want the market to be the only kind of principle holds

all brands are kind of competing with other brands of one brand find a cheaper place they can pay you have pay for actually less but that's moving from one country to another that then that all the brands chasing plus the people it's all get richer and richer and richer just put all the money into taxation and just finally with the political climate now changing and so much awareness going through our access do you think you have hope now the system is going to change i do i do think my unforeseen my adult life is coincide with the top of the market 1st i serve as it was margaret thatcher and since then it's been a sense like you know you can argue with the market i think that since the financial crisis really there's been a growing sense that something should change things should be fairer that is the rich we have which are rich it doesn't matter the inequality doesn't matter i think people try to i think you do want to change steve coogan and michael winterbottom speaking to going underground far as i am of their. that's actually a favorite episode of the most recent season of going on the ground will continue to show your favorite episodes of the web back on wednesday the 22nd of april until

then try to keep safe and make sure to join me on the ground by following other news your twitter facebook instagram and stopped that.

has changed many american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain patients and believe that they're ok prescription is working for them on the remedy be certain to do. price that they pay for as their dependency an addiction to opiates the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. one else so small seemed wrong but old roles just don't all. let me. get to shape out of this thing become educated and gain from it equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be. shocked shocked as far society we feel. we don't know still just from. the end of this trial unfortunately you too

will still not know childress. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . the government announces that its top priority is to avoid a 2nd wave of code 19 infections amid calls to ease lock down missions says health service bosses who target the lack of protective equipment and broken promises from ministers joined by former trust chairman and i'll be talking to a political commentator. a 99 year old world war 2 veteran breaks a fund raising record raising about 26000000 pounds for n.h.s. charities kept and told more tells us he's over the moon with the public's response . to. anything like.

the public come forward to call. the world's biggest trial of potential voters treatments is on the way in britain with results suspected as early as june. the british government says avoiding a 2nd peak of corona virus infections is now the priority despite calls for an easing of knockdown restrictions after the daily death because it's a 2 week low it comes as the chance of this further scheme to cover workers' wages opens as business is warned that delays could be catastrophic while health service bosses hit out at p. p. e. shortages and the outrages of what the prime minister failed to take the situation seriously in the early days of the crisis he said and he joins me now for more on

all of this so it is the government any closer to lifting the lockdown measures. well of course we know that the lockdown has been extended for another 33 weeks it will take this up to need only part of may but even go into some that the government very cautious they say that to lift those restrictions because they fear it could lead to a 2nd peak or a 2nd wave wells in sections and they also worried about what kind of impact it would have or the economy as well and so for that reason downing street spokespeople say to take it one step at a time now that comes as the daily death figures coming out for england at least and they point to 429 people who have lost their lives sadly in england of the most recent 24 hour period now the u.k. wide that figure the death toll is somewhere above $16000.00 and so now we're

expecting the rest of the u.k. figures to also come in at a later date now for the chancellor of course he's been one of the more prominent figures of the cabinet in the absence of the prime minister and today's the day that rishi so next furlough scheme will join us like retention scheme has opened to the took to twitter to say that exactly one month ago today i announced the unprecedented decision to step in and help pay people wages and so that job pretentious scheme is now live and of course there is expected to be huge deluge of people heading to that website whether it will be able to deal with a number of businesses and buses trying to get on to that scheme straight away tunnel itself but that scheme is expected to cover 80 percent of workers' wages up to cap of 2 and a half 1000 pounds and it says the government say that heart a 1000000 applications can be processed every hour and they're hoping that backing

goes some way to easing people and companies and economic warms and financial worries at this time and he said n.h.s. bosses have hit out of the government over the lack of protection equipment. absolutely we've been seeing lots of reports of n.h.s. workers and bosses speaking off the report but now we're seeing quite suspect secular intervention by a number of forces of the n.h.s. trusts and they say that the government has failed quite spectacularly really that supervised the sufficient amount of personal protective equipment p p d that they need to do that jobs now this is possibly coming out of the store which is broken campbell but which is that they were expecting $84.00 tons of replacement gear or p.p.a. gets arrived by yesterday and that shipment failed and that comes after a piece in one of the country's and main newspapers pointing to

a senior advisor and senior now and it's i've blames doris jones in particular for a lack of leadership now the report says that the prime minister failed to attend 5 kroger meetings those the emergency meetings that the government holds during national crises and they say that boris johnson also it's ended his 1st permeates in a lot of the 2nd that's 5 whole weeks after the 1st reported case in the u.k. now there are also some who say that while the country was waiting for p.p. e to reach the front lines the government had sent up 228-0000 rights of situation and schools were the 1st country to do with this crisis a mouthful sticking back people asking why that's the equivalent wasn't kept at home full and it just all fit and it's also according to got reports in the paper saying that the government introduced those knocked down wages too late and we know

that opposition figures both the current labor leader kids start with the previous one german court and the leader of all the other parties including a nicholas that and others kept urging the government to bring those knocked down measures and much rather. same time that it's city that the but it appears that those calls have fallen apart that day is but the government say that they've been fighting day and night all the way throughout this crisis to support the n.h.s. and marise he said thank you very much indeed for that well to discuss the lack of protective equipment i'm not joined by former health trust boss roy roy thanks for being with us now this is president of the health service managers directly attacking the government for the 1st time yes i must sound been around the n.h.s. in and around it for a long time and i can't remember the last time this actually happened the i think it's important to realise that the n.h.s. is really pretty self-sufficient and it does it's untrue to mention most of it

stuff something i did which is needed on a sort of an industrial scale on a national scale is being done by the department of health which is of sort of separate entity to national n.h.s. england which is the group that runs the hospitals. and it is easy important that the hospitals can have confidence in the department of health to deliver what is vital for the frontline to do its job and it's clear that they've been let down i mean i the department helps a bit let down some is go wrong how can you lose tons of equipment from turkey i mean anybody who buys anything or ram isn't knows that you can trace track where your order isn't it can't just say holy hasn't turned up and they just undermined the culture that that these trust bosses happened it's important i mean this equipment is lifesaving equipment for the front line if we run out then we get

ourselves into some very very deep water it's difficult up such a row as it really is the government's fault obviously there are huge logistical demands involved in this you talk about the problem of turkey because there's a global demand for these items yes i thought. that's true and i've had these discussions before and i've been fairly sort of liberal in science well you know he's a global pandemic and you know a lot of this stuff comes from china and china has had their problems as well and a lot of that fact is being closed down but i mean we can't carry on sank this is a big problem somebody somewhere at the head of government has to get a grip of this and we've got the we got the drugs retesting which nobody seems to know how many tests we've done or what the tests mean it just seems to be at the center of government. just kind of spinning their wheels and not really understanding the importance and significance of this i mean if we want it really to solve this crisis we've p.p.a.

by now we should have mobilized every factory and seamstress that there is in the country to make this stuff for us but i get contact you know all the time by people who say well we could make this stuff but we try to connect with the government we're leaving emails we don't get a reply they just seem to be kind of the center gotten a lot but what about what about reusing protective equipment in public health suggests that can be done. these are going to understand some of the gallons the over gallons a day that doctors nurses use the water repellent now they're designed to be used for their design for single use now recognizing that there is a global supply chain problem the world health organization said in extremis that health system should consider reusing the the water the water proved gallants now there have been some experiments done at washing them at 60 degrees and to see how they how they how duck and cover the hospitals have been doing that and they've

discovered that you can reuse them however we haven't got there we haven't got a yet quite go yet who had to in reusing but in extremist we'll have to reuse the gowns. roy thank you very much indeed for joining us live here and roy. or to discuss the government's approach to dealing with corona virus i'm now joined by a political commentator on a walker on dre hello to you hello now 5 missed cobra meetings does sound a bit like a prime minister who doesn't have his eye on the ball. well i think most people who've watched the prime minister's performance recently will accept that actually worked too hard let me just clear up the cobra meeting thing because i think there's been a fair degree of confusion and i used to work in westminster what cope remains and all it means is cabinet office briefing room and it just refers to meetings that take place in that room some of the machard by the prime minister or the church by

all the people now when the n one h one outbreak happened in 2009 alan johnson church the cobra meetings that were relevant to that just in the way that might hang talk should these 5 me takes about the coronavirus so it's nothing particular to worry about but look if you're referring to the sunday times article let me just be clear on something the sunday china times criticised boris johnson because joran public through january midway through january he wasn't taking the action that perhaps other people believe he should have dogged always remember all the 14th of january the world health organization itself was tweeting out saying that it had seen evidence from china that the corona virus could not be spread from human to human the chinese communist party and president lied to the world and the world health organization was complicit within that and that's why we lost those vital bugs always remember

something else that there is increasing evidence now that the corona virus began in quandong in september the chinese government has been covering this up and let's be clear on the arts a people watching this will remember because this rings very true when that disgusting and abusive soviet government had the trauma to noble problem they decided that rather than help the people of ukraine at bellerive of russia they would rather that be ok ok but andrea let's get back to boris johnson and the way the government every day let's just talk about and. to talk about boris johnson and the accusations of mistakes made by the government for example sending protective equipment to china just when we could expect it to need it and of course the government failing to learn lessons on p.p.m. ventilators despite planning in detail for exactly this kind of scenario well the planning wasn't for exactly this kind of scenario the planning was for it flu

outbreak and you were talking a little bit earlier about protective gowns and joining a flu outbreak you don't need those protective gowns or certainly don't need them as vote and so off you see a lot of the preparation was focused although a disease that simply didn't break out but look i think that when we're talking about china and sending protective equipment over that i think it is right to treat this as a global threats and to act globally what disgusted me was when they said china consignments a person protect the gripman and then when they need it back the chinese force them to buy it up and also chinese companies have sold 2000000 tests to the and i don't know do you mention actually that surely you just mentioned it to be there we could see what was happening there in that european country and yet we didn't lock down until much later why did we take lessons from them. well i think the certain things that happened don't always remember something else but 1st and foremost the

nightingale hospital at the xcel center is the largest critical care unit in the world it was built into aix the g max hospital in manchester is something like the 2nd or 3rd largest critical care unit in the world built in 3 weeks we have begun getting dyson to make that tonight says burbery can't believe a plate burbery are making protective equipment for bread which will go into action i think in an incredibly incredibly efficient way what have we failed on testing live we failed on testing and that is our graves why i think i need to ask you why we're looking at a child yes ok well tell the organization that were hell bent on covering up this drug that right let me quickly finally ask you germany huge success rate in testing why haven't we been able to achieve that. well we bought those 2000000 tests from the chinese and discovered they were defective we're desperately trying to get the money back for that an oxford university saying that they should have a vaccine by the also look we've all been badly let down by the evil disgusting

dictator president j. but let me tell you something i think his days are numbered and that regime i think as it takes number but surely we can't just get a scapegoat and blame china altogether we have to take responsibility for the lack of tracing and testing in this country when we could see what was happening no no no no no no the world health organization on the 14th of january was covering up on twitter for the for the chinese government for months weeks and days they were deliberately hiding the extent of this problem to protect their own reputation they are discussed the should be hell to pay 74 percent of the british public want to sue china for damages over this right 99 percent of the british public or censored aid to the national enquirer or the notice that the w.h.o. would would argue against that of course on but we will have to leave it there thank you very much for your time very interesting to hear your thoughts on this andrea will can thank you. on this have a look at across the country now for the latest coronavirus figures 451 more deaths

have been reported from the home nations today bringing the death toll to just over 16 and a half 1000 and official announcement including confirmed cases is expected later this afternoon. and as for the figures from all over the world that this stage according to johns hopkins university data almost 2 and a half 1000000 people have contracted the disease over 166000 of sadly passed away and more than 630000 have now made a recovery. and still to come this. a 99 year old war veteran breaks fund raising records after he raises about 26000000 pounds for the n.h.s. we'll be hearing from captain told him all himself.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the curse of those great. new dares thinks. we dare to ask. anyone else seemed wrong all right old wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain become educated and in gains from an equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. british based group of scientists is leading the world's biggest trial of drugs to treat corona virus and expects results in june in a month's time the recovery trial has recruited over 5000 patients in 165 n.h.s. hospitals as part of the race to find a treatment a number of suggested drugs are being tested including that commonly used for a child b. and a type of steroids to reduce inflammation is also being trialled and the treatment related to an anti malarial drug which the us president called

a game changer despite a lack of available evidence a range of potential treatments have been suggested to covert 19 but nobody knows if any of them will turn out to be more effective in helping people recover from the usual standard of hospital care which all patients will receive data from the trial will be regularly reviewed so the any effects of treatment can be identified quickly and made available to all patients the recovery trial team will constantly review information on new drugs and include promising ones in the trial. and 99 year old war veteran has broken the fund raising record on the nation website just giving raising over 26000000 pounds for n.h.s. charities captain tom moore who's due to turn 110 days time celebrate his upcoming birthday by doing 100 laps around these garden setting up a just giving page to handle donations he quickly broke through his 1000 pound target he's also released

a hit charity single but concerns are being raised over one that just giving itself has profited from his exploits. just giving automatically add a one pound contribution fee $2.00 dimensions on the 10 pounds over 10 pounds the fee is then 10 percent the website requires users to opt out of adding the contribution fee to their donation just given also charges a processing fee that covers the cost of credit and debit card transactions and all this together there are claims that the site could have owned up to $2000000.00 pounds from the captain's campaign however it has made 810-0000 pounds a nation itself and said 97 percent of all donations will go directly to n.h.s. charities where i spoke to captain tom himself and his daughter hannah about his fundraising exploits and started by asking if he expected to be so successful. do you know. anything. i think you're absolutely marvellous

the public come forward. a little cause. mark. and what do you put it down to why do you think you yourself have caused such a stir and achieve this incredible achievement so many other people would try to do the same but you captain of done it. how. will my own who are barges with mud levers and treatment command national poll service i heard a broken in. karen and lisa got home the doctors and the nerve the nurses and all know creepily and our service men absolutely magnificent and there were certain there were reasons why it's all a great show and then through all this money. and maybe actually just jump in

there and say that i think that there are several reasons why this happened and what if and yes phenomena i think that in these dark times when so many people are being isolated that there is a real sadness across not only our country but everywhere around the world dealing with this terrible pandemic i think that we are just a regular happy family and we created something that we thought would be small that we fail intended it's a 1000 pounds if we done really well to go to the n.h.s. and we share that story we knew we had like a magnificent person doing a magnificent thing coming up to 100 so we shared it and. surely a lot of the credit you must take yourself because you had to handle this because obviously your dad captain thomas is in huge demand at the moment what about your

role in all of this. well i think that you know i'm a business person and i haven't been back to work for 2 weeks but we knew that we were sharing we were not ignorant of the fact that we were sharing a lovely story and we did that deliberately because we thought we could make some people happy and raise a bit of money so we're not naive we knew that we had something that people might like but we never ever thought in a 1000000 years it would go beyond some some kuwait's and terrific local press so we accept and take on our responsibility with kravitz hassen and with gravity we we know that we have. tom has created a beacon of hope in a world that is sad and we know that this out pouring of public support is something that we feel responsibility for that we owe the public back in service so we want to continue to try and give the nation

a little bit of joy. and we won't stop until they want to but are so totally not stopping tom are you carrying all walking despite all the money you've raised so far. yes and we are who long of those people aren't contributing to the list on our continent to continue a war can. bark or isn't hold on to so on those who agree will bill know or decided not to give money more money to this fund and you are a veteran of world war 2 do you think we need a bit of a blitz spirit to get through this dreadful crisis at the moment. you think we need . a well what you spend to get through this terrible crisis you need to get to do you think we need a bit of that spirit you know the world war 2 spirit i think so i think we all need to get together because law and we're all in this together no one is

a moon from list invisible. army is we're tracking grizzle the moment. everyone a nice. bottle down the distillery how to do. really wartimes the nurses something we all need to do and do it cheerfully because the land and waiting room we're all turned out who are on a talking about bringing positive spirit during wartime do you feel about knocking dame vera lynn off the top of the i tunes chart. how do you feel about knocking jane pirelli in the top of the charts well. never ever thought i would do anything with this because of absolute high regard them dearly and because. we're in the war time when i was in in burma a truck young lady came down bridges to the lunar rover in the firing line and turned out to do

a little and so are although we will knock her off the top i'm sure but has happened and just finally what you make of calls for you to be knighted for your efforts. think this is rather little. musician a group was i don't think. i don't think we're a minute it will. be searched. thomas moore but don't hold your breath before the founders. that's it for this hour i'll be back with more news for you hoffa from.
