way. demonstrations and enver colorado saw protesters both for and against the ongoing lockdown which led to arguments in the crowd counter protesters included medical workers who stopped traffic in the streets one nurse was quoted as saying the protest felt like a slap in the face to medical workers protesters opted to keep their distance from one another in arizona where cars circled the capitol building in phoenix to form a gridlock their criticism was aimed at the state's republican governor with signs that said let businesses and consumers decide what's essential not politicians hundreds of protesters took part in demonstrations across the state of nevada and many were seen holding signs in support of president trump residents accuse their democratic governor of fueling the current unemployment epidemic in the state. governor says he is responsible for the shutdown of the economy in the. area where tourism based economy effectively shut it down it least one out of 10 the veterans

out of work it's unacceptable. was from took to twitter to express his support for what he called the liberation of michigan minnesota and virginia all states with democratic governors not all of the protestors were in support of the president and his policies activist delivered faith bodybags complete with certificates that displayed signature to the same francisco federal building in california and to trump international hotel in new york city as their way to condemn his administration's response to the virus now despite the current state of home order state home orders in place and the presence of police on the ground protests were largely peaceful as a nation tackles the question of how to deal with record breaking unemployment in the face of a global pandemic reporting in the newsroom rachel blevins art. and in what appears to be retribution for the claims of lack of transparency from the chinese government the u.k. is now pulling back its invitation to while away to help build out their 5 g.

networks prime minister boris johnson now on the mend from this deadly virus himself initially bucked american pressure against the chinese tech giant but today it seems the sentiment coming from 10 downing street has shifted for more on this we will go to former u.k. and p. george galloway so george how do you explain this about face from the government did they fold to u.s. pressure or is there more to this. well there's a massive deflection going on on both sides of the atlantic from president trump and his opposition for that matter and here in britain it's a deflection from their own pitiful miserable failure you're going to have more dead people than anyone in the world and we are going to have the 2nd highest number of dead people from the coronavirus 1st saw someone has to get the blame for the the political class in both countries are determined that it won't be them

store look over there are appointing china it's really a simple as that this despite the fact i should tell you that the government were forced to acknowledge late last night in a very detailed on suck in writing from michael gove one of the top ministers of the china has repeated britain many times over the limited amount of medical equipment and mosques that we sent them right at the beginning of the crisis so we're taking desperately needed guns and masks on ventilators from china whilst kicking in the teeth no china will not take this lying down china is too big and strong to be pushed around and they're also extremely sensitive to insult as the wall street journal found out not.

long ago saw this is heating up on both sides of the atlantic and china and georgia on friday u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o stated that the pandemic originated in china and therefore this is evidence as to why i countries should avoid doing business with weiwei i don't know about you but that didn't make any sense to me how can you make sense of that statement in any way. you'd need to be a crystallographer or albert einstein come back to life to make any sense of but i just remind you as i did obliquely the other day china holds one trillion dollars worth of american debt in the form of treasury bonds if they don't stop rubbishing china china would be entirely within its rights to dump those bonds and to dump the gigantic everest of dollar bills of the whole china holds more u.s.

currency than the us holds and if china dumps it and moves to the euro then the united states economic meltdown that we are talking about these days will be multiplied many times over so it's a very dangerous path the politicians on both sides both countries are following now sure and lastly george on this note on the flip side over the weekend china increased its reported cold and death toll by 50 percent and that event for a magic move doesn't that just justify them blame game coming from the west. well we did do we increased our estimate by exactly 50 percent because it turned out we hadn't been counting the old people in care homes that were dying of the coronavirus china's death toll of 3700 or so was increased by

1500 those numbers will seem very small to an american audience considering the death toll that you already have suffered china was being absolutely transparent in increasing its figure and saw britain was forced to be forced by media pressure to acknowledge that actually at least half of our death door again has perished in care home. julie we're still not counting those who are done in the home so. far for a great job in the us i think it would be best to avoid the mall. when we have such a big beams of our own exactly there are discrepancies in everybody's methods of counting the number of people dying from the virus george galloway always appreciate your take thank you so much. pleasure.

while many around the country are protesting to get back to business as usual today one business actually is r t it's fair project is joining us now with more on boeing employees heading back to work fareed i mean how is this even possible well middle we're actually talking 27000 employees going back to work in washington state which is actually the very 1st state to see the outbreak of coke at 19 now this is the very 1st business on a large scale to get back to work but it's not going to be business as usual now during the weeks long shutdown boeing did go through when did a deep clean at their facility near seattle but in light of the outbreak things aren't going to be as usual now boy will have employees come in on a staggered shift times there's going to be marks on the floor for that 6 foot social distancing workers are going to have to wear face masks and there will also be wellness checks every shift where you'll see voluntary temperature screenings now washington state is still under a stay at home order but boeing's assembly operations are considered essential business making them exempt and now monday workers for the

737-747-7677 extension 77 planes they're going to be back at work with most of all of those 27000 employees returning to work on wednesday wow. but now boeing has had a lot going on obviously so when 18 in particular with those max jets and those 2 fatal crashes that everybody still remembers fresh in our minds and the planes are . still grounded it's been over a year how could boeing bring back these employees when all these planes are grounded and no one's traveling so how does that make any sense why adding that to that manila boeing customers who actually cancelled their orders as well we're talking canceling $150.00 jets alone in march and just today company shares fell more than 3 percent after the china development bank financial leasing company they canceled their purchase of 29 boeing 737 max jets still though boeing did have an order to make 31 jets but those are for military aircraft and actually one is

a freighter for 5 x. but then just in the past day you had a big order come in from germany with the country's defense minister confirming their decision of ordering 30 f.a. 18 super hornets and 15 growlers bell ok for what about this coronavirus stimulus bill you had many on both sides of the aisle getting a degree at boeing that they roughly got what $25000000000.00 or so despite their massive failures especially with those max jets i mean they're getting bailout right but that bell out of 25000000000 though there are some strict conditions on that one namely that the money can only be used to continue paying their nearly 161000 employees all the way to september they can't have any job cuts or layoffs now when the bill was signed even president he recognized boeing's failures but said it was important to keep them afloat listen here we have a great plan for the airline it's going to keep the early kill you know it's never been the good news is good it's a very vital business for the country we can't let anything happen devoting. so

much potential you talk about potential can anything have more potential than that . major industry for the united states now middle boeing c.e.o. says that as far as reopening and there are new safety measures in place the company is in uncharted territory intended and it could forever change the business and the industry because of this pandemic but that boeing is taking it day by day and hoping that is going to come out strong and competitive. fronsac thank you for giving us that update what a wild story thank you. and elsewhere around the world today german chancellor angela merkel urged fellow citizens to remain on alert as the country takes its 1st steps in reopening some businesses and restarting public light last friday federal and state officials ruled to reopen non-essential shops with hygiene precautions merkel warns the country could return to a full shutdown if corona virus infections began to rise again. and then over to

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. in new york a group of protesters dumped fake body bags outside of trump tower and held placards with the message trump equals death the city has borne the brunt of this pandemic with nearly 14000 fatalities but in america south and midwest there have

been shows of support for the president and his demands to reopen the economy argue jacqueline has more all americans just like everyone else in the world are facing an indiscriminate and powerful enemy this invisible enemy is tough smart and it's a vicious but true to form the only thing uniting people in the us is disagreeing on how to handle this threat trump and co have a task force churning out daily briefings which people either love or hate depends on who you ask and the country split about $5050.00 when it comes to the administration's overall handling of the outbreak will come as little surprise to many that those numbers fall pretty neatly along party lines you know while all the top brass in d.c. keep repeating that this is no time for politics and name calling before doing just that lives are at stake this is not a time for name calling or playing politics i want to remind everyone here in our nation's capital especially in congress that this is not the time for politics and

less partisan investigations have already done extraordinary damage to our country in recent years by clashes are confined to capitol hill in new york city the place hit hardest by the pandemic doctors nurses and ordinary citizens have been protesting against trump's policies is completely incompetent at his job he tries to pretend like it's a 980 s. boardroom and it's not you do not gamble with people's lives that is morally bankrupt all of these things are like a morgue that is here and more illnesses and more economic damage if it wasn't for the truck that's raging here it wouldn't be anywhere near. so for many the president's not done enough but on the other side of that coin are the hundreds of people protesting in states like nevada wisconsin and minnesota calling for an end to stay at home and getting trumping a gold star director was our standard we have a right. for every party responsibility for iraq no need to tell us how to play. like red herring rather than our current rather.

are using our constitutional rights and we are falling under a dictatorship and that's not correct trump being trump he went ahead and tweeted out a rallying cry of a liberation from lockdowns and a number of those states that had already seen protests and that led to a slew of criticism that the president is fanning the flames of unrest in his own country not that they needed any help trump defended himself saying particular states have gone too far and then threw in some comments about the 2nd amendment for good measure because a gun debate was what this pandemic was really missing but i think some things are too tough and if you look at some of the states you just mentioned it it's too tough not only relative to this but what they've done in virginia with respect to the 2nd amendment is just a horrible thing they do a horrible thing the governor and all of that only further ruffled the feathers of a number of governors who are already pushing back against trump the president of

the united states has the authority to do what the president has the authority to do which is very powerful he does not have total a 3rd his proclamation is that he would be king that's what a king is a king has told us some already that statement cannot state a tweet coming from our president to liberate virginia i would just simply say that as the governor of the commonwealth of virginia along with his staff is fighting a biological war. do not have time to involve myself in twitter you have an american president to encourage people to violate the law i can't remember any time during my time in america were you've seen such a thing this is a such as schizophrenia so everyone continues to become even more diehard and their opinions like the government should be handling it but without taking away our freedoms there's on the federal aid being sent to states that need it but how dare

you cut back on help to foreign countries we should all stay inside and less we don't want to send out free money but not before trump's name is on it and then there's those carefree floridians who couldn't care less about any of that as long as they can finally hit the beach again which they did in massive crowds the 2nd they were reopened so much for social distancing. and other news from around the world israel's prime minister and his main rival have agreed to form an emergency unity government under this deal if and after benjamin netanyahu would remain prime minister for the next 18 months and then benny gantz would take over for another 18 months the move will likely avert a 4th election and keep netanyahu in power while he faces trial on corruption charges. and over to north central africa where a tragic accident involving a military jet killed 5 civilians 3 of those children a bizarre accident happened in the country of chad just last week that's where the military jet parked at an air base accident accidentally fired
