11:30 am
in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallowness. greetings and sal you take shit you know i opened up the merriam webster dictionary today and found some of the many definitions of liberty they are the power to do as
11:31 am
one pleases or the power of choice 11 definition that has been tossed around in political circles rallies for the definition of liberty a lot these days is that liberty is the freedom from arbitrary or despotic control . and it was apparently this particular definition that led hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of u.s. citizens across the country from michigan and minnesota down to texas and up to colorado to throw down their face masks and rubber gloves and take to their streets their capitol buildings and their governor's residences in protest of the social distancing policies and stay at home borders that have affectively closed businesses both large and small across the country since the start of the code 19 pandemic us president donald trump he triumphantly egged those protesters on tweeting proudly liberate michigan liberate minnesota and liberate virginia
11:32 am
yes it was our undying need for liberty and freedom that caused these protests to take place much like the boston tea party of old or at least that's the bill of goods that was sold to these poor souls who are out there like lemmings putting themselves and their families a risk they have been sold that their lives are only worth the work that they do for the corporations that own them and that not being able to go to applebee's or great clips or wrestling matches means that somehow the constitution or bill of rights no longer exists here in the united states but do not blame these poor souls 'd out there protesting they are clearly going through the denial and anger phases of the 7 stages of coronavirus grief and they are being taken advantage of by these people. save your blame for the ghouls that fan the flames of fear paranoia and the rejection of common medical sense ghouls like these 2
11:33 am
we have people dying 45000 people a year die from automobile accidents 480000 from cigarette syria and 60000 a year from swimming pools that we don't shut the country down for there but yet we're doing it through this new models are out of control think condom is out of control shina is the one that's out of control we're not going to let you destroy this country or our way of life we've worked too hard we fought too long to lose it to our womb and. you see they only care about your liberty when it threatens their livelihood in their political connections and they are why you always must be watching the hawks. if you want to go on a cd you straight you want to. play so let's see the prizes you always stay i'll see you right grace see this least systemic deception is
11:34 am
complete so which would be so but just as. well we're going to watch in the dark so i am tyrone and i'm of a major that's the people i believe that we need to be holding accountable for this not these poor idiots in the streets or thinking that they're losing their liberty by actually staying safe and staying indoors with the people that are feeding them those kind of pack of lies like you know dr phil over here trying to make a comparison of a car accidents are somehow the same as the covert 19 give me a break that the bill is taking a page from president trump is as you probably recall before we instituted the stay at home waters and things like that back in february early march president was actually going around saying. yes he was saying in a part of podiums across the country basically there are so many people that die from car accidents so why don't we take this seriously that was basically the
11:35 am
posturing that he was given for the entire country and the funny thing about that clip is you can tell that dr phil was actually reading off those that he literally have paper and he was going line by line while he was describing this so something in him said to prepare beforehand before he actually said this completely ridiculous comments but then about dr phil and those of his ilk is that he's been selling lies to america for a long time and i think that now you know he's aligned himself with this president he feels like he has an audience a broad audience that has followed him for a year so he has in some ways the delicate sense of credibility among people and i think he just it shows that he took it to paul because we're seeing massive backlash from his comments there people who have lost relatives there people who've lost loved ones there are folks who are still being tested and going through everything right now so those comments aren't really settling well no and i think people have to remember is that the motivation for this it's they want to get their economy working because they they're losing money doctor bills losing money because
11:36 am
people don't have that extra income that they usually send them to watch his show or buy his books you know judge jeanine you know her political connections are losing ground which makes her feel really scared and upset like oh my goodness plus she should stick to water before she does a show and they're exercising i don't know what she's does do but stick to water judge as you know and you know in an advertising things like that that the but these people are all really snake oil salesman during this time of crisis it's not a you know this is about protecting us and look i understand the fear that people are going through they see their wages dropping you know they feel that that's frightening thing of what i want to do this doesn't feel right i should be at home i should be out it's not as bad as they're saying i get it i do but your liberty means just as much as my liberty just because you want to go out and go back shopping again and go to the store and go to the barber doesn't mean i want you to infect my liberty doesn't. i want you to take away my liberty to not get sick or not have a member of my family get sick absolutely and then they think but it's easy for them to can text realize this is
11:37 am
a liberty argument because you always have those rally around the flag people who are all to write jump on this these are the same folks who are against rallying when it is black matter these are the same folks who are against rallying when it's women who are pro-choice or individuals who are pro-choice in general these are individuals who are against it when it comes to civil rights they don't care but now when it comes to something that they feel like they want to do when i think that you're right it's because of a means of production it's because it's understandable that people feel that they need to be able to get back to work i don't think anybody denies that on either side of the aisle but there is something to be said about public health and to have a president lead the way in people ignoring this public health crisis and feeling like they can just jump out even though we do not have the testing capacity yet to even show how many people actually have this virus i think is completely ignorant it is and don't don't let them in the your mind into believing that somehow the economy matters more than people's lives you know you see dr oz walked back what you see saying well you know 2 to 3 percent of school children or people getting
11:38 am
sick when we got kids back into school that's that's ok losses now i think is the gist of it there is no such thing like when you hear talk like that that's militaristic terms that's that's people you know trying to basically make you comfortable with knowing that lots and lots and lots of people are going to die because of their failures and their secondary argument inherent in that is that you are only good as long as you have means of production they don't care about a lot of the older people dying because they're not contributing to we just every day they're not the people who are contributing to the economy if this will split if younger people were the ones who were higher rates of death then we would see the argument being entirely different and we definitely would you go you know to be jumping all around and you saw the same thing when the aids pandemic burst where back in the early eighty's it was like well only folks are getting it so i don't care why do i care about all that and then suddenly want to jump to like how to folks then somewhere. oh then suddenly you have to go all the way we've got to pay attention to this now you know but the bottom line is of course you have a right to speak your mind of course you have to watch out for people trying to
11:39 am
take your rights in moments of crisis because there's a lot of people who will try to use crisis for that but staying at home and being safe staying at home and not infecting people that is not something about taking away liberty that's about actually protecting all our liberties world health safe and helping them out and if we lift all of the restrictions tomorrow these thousands of jobs aren't about to combat exactly exactly. covered 1000 cases continue to sweep across the u.s. with the death toll rising over 41000 and at least 772000 confirmed cases the burden ringback of berm cases is a bit tricky as to still want to be a level for the majority of americans in a systematic carriers of the walk among us every single day the precautions to protect against code 19 are well known social distancing rigorous and repeated hand washing and wearing masks all of these things though helpful can't be done everywhere prisons and jails are among the list of places where covert 19 is poised
11:40 am
to take hundreds of thousands of lives if we don't act quickly in my hometown of chicago the cook county jail one of the largest jail systems in the country has its own battle with 19 the rate of infection there is higher than any jail in america with more than 500 testing positive as of last week and the number continues to grow but in one way it isn't the only in cost of state base and. it's midwestern neighbor ohio is well more than $800.00 inmates at the marion correctional institution have tested positive book about the virus the ohio department of health contributes the state's influx of coronavirus cases so only to the person at marion correctional a whopping 73 percent of the population tested positive for the virus. ohio is rushing to find medical support to treat the overwhelming number of prisoners and staff exposed to and contract a grown virus but it isn't enough prison and jail is a breeding ground for viruses and many already lack the safety instead it's
11:41 am
a should lead it to slow the spread additionally there is no real way to social distance at all in these facilities. keeping inmates locked up while the virus is spreading it control rates in an environment with no real protections is essentially giving the death penalty to hundreds of thousands of people we've seen some state leaders finally get it right like maryland governor larry king who recently signed an executive order releasing hundreds of inmates how long will it take others to do that so that's the $1000000.00 question right there and it's an important question that we have to ask because we have to take care of everybody in our society not just and not just the ones that we love but also the ones that we we are afraid over that we don't want to take care of them too if we're just unprincipled society and this is an incredible story when you talk about 1800 cases in one prison in ohio that's massive 73 percent of their population and they have no real means of slowing the spread at all elevated to the state department of
11:42 am
health they're trying to do what they can but right now the issue is one they don't have the staffing capacity in terms of nurses and doctors but in addition to that we don't really know even if that is a total number because this is a people who are actually able to see a doctor and get tested in prison i think that most people don't don't take into consideration that a lot of our prisoners in jails as well they have to pay copays to see a doctor while they're there to get treatment from a doctor while they're there and where does this money coming from they're not getting regular cash you're not allowed to keep you know they're obviously working their bureaus getting pushed the limits in many cases but they're earning by since they're given prison slave wages i'm sure you know what's crazy to you know when you look into this whole story is the at the very least the crisis in ohio the marine correctional facility the economy and illinois cook county they both could have been averted absolutely it was one of those things where the states they've been going back and forth the state legislatures have been working on since the
11:43 am
since the advent of 1000 since we learned about it what was going to happen with the jail and prison population these arguments have been going on in the left in the right at state houses across the country. notwithstanding ohio or illinois and what we're seeing is a lot of muscle flexing from both parties in the state in the states and in the state house and we're not seeing a lot of action in terms of directives coming out as to how we're going to deal with this population that you're right that we have and i mean what we've got i mean what trumps you know didn't try to jump forward with what was it the 1st one i didn't want to be here for the prisoners right and that's me up so i think a lot of people gave him credit for the 1st and that on both sides of the aisle and what we know was that of the hundreds of thousands of people that were supposed to get out under the 1st step that less than 20 percent of those people have actually been released one of the issues with jails and prisons alike is that there is so much red tape that even when you see something from the federal level come down it could take years before we see the people who are actually eligible to be released see the light of day. and truly just breaks my heart because you think of how many
11:44 am
nonviolent offenders make the u.s. prison system and we're not even talking about the federal pens or the you know jail for profit ones you can even get down to like county local jails and things like that where you've got people just in jail locked up for no reason and now they've got a virus rampaging through those hallways and that let's not forget there's still the jailers who also can get sick from this correct exactly and that is what we're also seeing so you're having jailers you're having a lot of the even some of the wardens there are people who are literally taking off and have been taking off for weeks to avoid actually catching something because they don't have people either and they don't have mask we're running out of soap like there's a lot going on there and no one's really paying that much attention no they aren't but we are and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. available on smartphones through google play and the apple app store by searching simply portable t.v. or you can stream us to your t.v. by downloading the portable t.v. on apple t.v.
11:45 am
or online and portable t v more devices will be available for portable t.v. coming soon and coming up next on this show we'll be discussing the possible. you're seeing the u.s. military deployed on u.s. streets in response to the cold 19 pandemic you don't want to miss this discussion straight to the watching the hawks. has changed many american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be sent to 2. prices at the. grocery dependency and addiction to opiates is the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that
11:46 am
the long term effects may not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. seemed wrong. rowles just don't call. any new world yet to shape out disdain and become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront dacian let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful
11:47 am
very critical time time to sit down and talk. all right earlier in the show we were discussing the recent protests popping up across the united states over the covert 19 stay at home and the social distance distancing orders and how the motivation behind many of those protests were a direct result of the manipulation of the us populace is fear of tyranny and loss of liberty and will stay at home orders and social distancing for the safety of the community are not and should not be cause for constitutional concern that doesn't mean citizens should not remain vigilant in their protection of their most basic of rights in a time of crisis taking our eye off that ball is how we got stuck with constitutional shredding laws like those found in the patriot act and that is why many are
11:48 am
starting to raise the alarm over the potential use of u.s. military personnel here at home in the battle against this virus newsweek reported recently that the u.s. military is preparing forces to assume a larger role in the coronavirus response including the controversial mission of quelling civil disturbances and then forcing the law a mission that the military has not been gauged in for almost 30 years joining us now to discuss the dangers of the flying the us military here at home in a time of crisis is network freeman a member of the coordinating committee for the black alliance for peace and always a pleasure having you on sort of think you it's always a pleasure to be so i want to start with just give people an idea of what are the major potential dangers found in using the u.s. military not just the national guard which is under control of state governors but the u.s. military army navy air force in operations domestically during a time of crisis. these are the people who are pretty much training and
11:49 am
to confront enemy combatants as you will and me sinking sinking. or being trained dentists who have the disposition of the people that they're fighting or confronting are less worthy of humanity or life and liberty and so when you put that on the street and i'm again we have to remember that in the united states col who for to was colonized people working class people already know who under a police state situation so that the danger in what you ask for what you describe is that there will be combining the mentality that is fostered in military training to fight so-called terrorists in whatever unit before used to be communists and people who are not as worthy combining that with the sort of inherent. racists attitudes in class this attitudes of the us police force that is
11:50 am
a barrier scotto. has there been any past examples where the us military would use domestically in a time of crisis and is there as its historical precedence for that kind of the point. there's been a few and yes. we can look at it's a few katrina hurricane katrina when it happened there was a number of people who were scrambling for survival and having to scramble and get whatever they could and the military was sent in there and then people some people may not remember how old people are but we used to see in the middle in the media. reports of people looting in ventilating when you really talked about a dire situation people really just trying to scramble for whatever they could to deliver survive and in that instance if they were really brutal and it came had to come out later brutal instances of people being extra just you kill brutalized by
11:51 am
both police and military and in one instance it was a man who was shot in the back and then they proceed to kick him several times and die. then another other instances are doing the rodney king incident there were people who. you know of the the east pressure cooker was all faster than the beating of rodney king and a lot of the verdicts were really on people felt they didn't like the verdict still it was that they were rebellions we call it rebellion instead of rights because people rebelling over centuries of police brutality not an incident but in that instance they also brought the national guard in and there were there were fatalities in terms of those excuse exchanges and then during the same the rebellion joined dr king when dr king was assassinated the same thing happened and there were also. due to you know the police in the in the military mix and the and we you know black and brown people get the worst end of those. that
11:52 am
makes it scary because you see the idea being floated and kind of common allies do you know in the in the language of the media i mean with more than a good healthy percent of new york city police department officers recently reported due to illness or self quarantine in the good numbers like over 15 and even higher police absentee rates elsewhere an opinion piece in the a washington post pontificated about how active u.s. military members could potentially fill the role those roles of the police writing quote they might need the backstop and back bill police forces and hard hit communities might soon need major assistance with patrolling the restraint streets importing restrictions on movement deterring crime and other tasks you know this is a pretty unbelievable language do you believe that this could actually be a realistic possibility given the current state of the country to bay is this something that we could see. oh i think there's no one to talking about it and i think the washington post piece you were talking about was coauthored by 3 people
11:53 am
and they were caught they were it was then of they make themselves the police department i think it was a new york city police and they were all from they are all now our people are consistent you people the u.s. army was a couple represents in the u.s. on his about 3 ethics 3 people who are officers in that in that. article and what they're anticipating and i think there's also historical precedent and that and moon we remember that the. there he billions after the in the 1960 s. f. the dr king they did of the report they do write reports every now and then the. people to try to figure out the root causes and how to deal with riots or maybe avoid them and there was a current called the current commission report $168.00 and so one of the things that the report showed and it was pretty i think certainly done report was the type of civil unrest that we can see the type of dissatisfaction with basic things that
11:54 am
we now know are going to be. are going to be. costs scarce we're going to look at over $30.00 supercenter the top they're predicting a 32 percent unemployment rate the biggest ever seen since since the break great depression there's scarcity of food because of the the supply chains of food are being disrupted because of because of the cold in 1000 in the social distancing same people being out of work the system the capitalist system and we have to attribute it to that is not designed because we don't see that same outcome where the same situation in other places is not designed to handle the type of or not designed to create the type of cooperation that is needed even on that on the domestic level where other countries people are there people are involved in organizing process to know how to research. to certain things and even to be able to manage things on in a way that don't make things scarce the there are allow people to go to the
11:55 am
supermarket maybe more distance regulated sash and keep things evolve as we're here . the powers that be are standing up straight to the status quo where people are seeing the in the industry oh or they do the capitalism and they don't want that threat to become even more formidable so they not instead of feeding people instead of housing people and things that we're seeing happening it's a response to this but it's not for us that they don't you know they're doing it for themselves but that can't last because that goes against capitalism so their response would be to send in the military and the police to try to quell dissent but basically never we got good folks like you out there keeping an eye on this and educating people on the on the dangers of that kind of thought thank you so much for always coming on up to freeman always a pleasure sir. thank you. when i was growing up my nana always gave me dinner with that side of carrots the belief was as you get older you're going to need them because your eyesight goes with age and she might have
11:56 am
been on to something age related macular degeneration affects 11000000 people in the u.s. and up to 196000000 worldwide sadly aside from changing vision prescriptions and surgeries with little long term improvement possibilities not much can be done to save your eyesight until now. in a new paper published by major researchers show innovation in treatment of age related blindness in mice in the study converted photo receptors were transplanted into the eyes of 14 blind mice to see if they could restore vision and it worked the process involves creating a replacement boat or step there is a process called from a logical conversion it's cheaper faster and not hassle by ethical and legal restrictions chemically reprogramming cells to reverse age related vision deterioration is a modern marvel that could change the field about the molecule no more fear of living in the dark or being in a or or being in a world you can't see great stuff everybody that is our show for you today remember
11:57 am
everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved but tell you well i love you i am tyrone winter and i'm a big surprise keep on watching those hawks out there and have a great day and night.
11:58 am
the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. something i may have missed and put on a chain around the stone to continue a little spot that same day and chew up at your. home with nothing to do and that i
11:59 am
desired to know. how much older the. local just an old lonely little girl near them she still lives. me up on the show was still a lot. more push. pull you put it's not just on thoughts almost unusable not on one level don't look so the stuff it takes to the list you want to call it.
12:00 pm
if. this is our 2 u.k. welcome to our viewers from around the world we're live from central london and we're currently awaiting the government's daily coronavirus press briefing that will be coming your way very shortly the health secretary met hankel is expected to give the updates and will no doubt respond to the ongoing row over shortages of protective kit for frontline staff and it's also just that the decision not to get involved in e.u. wide put into the kit was a political decision which ministers blamed on administrative error at that briefing coming your way shortly before that autopsy was then this hour. britain's coronavirus daily death toll look it's back up to over $800.00 as the
12:01 pm
office for national statistics reveals that the true number could be 40 percent higher than government think it's that's is the row over protective kit for frontline medical stuff continues one doctor tells us the government should simply be straight with them. before you do we say look just tell us the truth you don't have to just say that you know we would much prefer the latter than the constant cognitive feels like nonsense about a colleague. i could never explain the government apps designed to track newly infected corona virus patients will fail unless they also respect the use of privacy we hear from one of them shortly. the family of p.c. keith paulo soon scotland yard over the death of the officer the journey to westminster the terror attack 3 years ago. and school closures intensified the divide between the country's richest and poorest people since reports get reaction from british politician and former teacher david carr.
12:02 pm
it's another deadly day for the u.k. as the 24 hour coronavirus death toll soars back up to over $800.00 fatalities that's after it emerged the death rate is up to 41 percent higher when including non hospital fatalities meanwhile the permanent under-secretary at the foreign and commonwealth office says says that the u.k. decision not to participate an e.u. procurement of medical kits and ventilators was a poor little decision which ministers previously blamed on an administrative error well he said and he joins me now for more on this let's talk before we hear from the government in his daily press briefing we now know that there's been another big rise in deaths and this is likely to be far higher than that absolutely we saw
12:03 pm
yesterday the number of those who died in hospitals after just simple 690 was in the 400 today that figure almost double that 823 people in the u.k. have you didn't call it is dying in hospitals after testing positive conduct takes the total number of deaths according to the government's figures is 17380 study our book that isn't without its own context there are suggestions that so those figures don't tell the whole story or not be office for national statistics the awareness is only figures suggest that the real death toll is a lot higher than that. well we will interrupt isn't there because we can now cross live to that government daily briefing good afternoon and welcome to the downing street coronavirus daily briefing i am joined by the deputy chief medical officer professor van tam and by professor jonathan. at
12:04 pm
the heart of our plan is ensuring that n.h.s. capacity is always ahead of need this means that if you or someone you love needs hospital care with covert 19 then you will always get back at. if god forbid you need care in an intensive care unit then you will have that bed and the lifesaving equipment and team that you need the latest figures show another record high of 2963 spac critical care beds available across the n.h.s. we can we said at the start of this that our primary goal in our battle plan was to slow the spread and protect the n.h.s. by flattening the curve and increasing capacity that plan is working. at no point in this crisis has anyone who could benefit from critical care been denied
12:05 pm
that care because there weren't enough staff or beds or ventilators to treat them but there is much further to go. on the most recent figures 535003 142 tests have now been carried out in the u.k. excluding northern ireland all of these 129044 have tested positive the number of patients in hospital with covert 900 symptoms is now down 217680 or 17366 people have sadly died in hospital which is an increase of 852 this number is another a salutary lesson. and it tells others of the deadly nature of this virus. we owe it to them and to ourselves not to throw away the
12:06 pm
progress we've made so far we have been clear that we will not risk lives by relaxing the social distancing rules before our 5 tests have been met 1st that the n.h.s. can continue to cope 2nd that the operational challenges commit 3rd that the daily death rate falls sustainably and consistently. that the rate of infection is decreasing. and most importantly that there is no risk of a 2nd peak i now want to update you on 2 specific areas of huge important 1st p.p. protective equipment delivery is an operation of unprecedented scale and complexity since the start of the crisis we've now delivered over a 1000000 items of p.p. we start we're constantly working to improve the delivery system buying p.-p.
12:07 pm
from brown around the world and looking to make more here at home. we have a diverse range of suppliers and we're working day and night to expand that supply base we are in direct talks with the factories that actually produce the p.p. and the fabric that it's made of this is proved one of the most fruitful avenues and i want to especially thank my foreign office and d.i.t.c. colleagues especially in china for the incredible work making these connections i also want to thank the enormous response we've had from our people for companies to come forward to help replenish stocks as of yesterday we've had 8331 offers of p.p. equipment and we are investigating each and every one of those many leads now of course some of these leads have led to very large scale purchases of many millions of items but the reality is that not each of them not everyone who approaches as
12:08 pm
can deliver on their offers in scale i'm very grateful to all those who have come forward and we are now actively engaged with thousands of these companies and i can announce that we're working with 159 potential u.k. manufacturers which is starting to come on stream i said many times that i am determined determined to get people the p.p. that they need this is a 247 operation is one of the biggest cross government operations i've ever seen and i'm grateful to colleagues from the n.h.s. from public health england the crown commercial service cabinet office communities department the ministry of defense the armed forces the devolved administrations in the territorial offices the business apartment the treasury the foreign office and the department for international trade for their enormous hard work on this and i'm also very grateful to lord 'd dighton who delivered the olympics for stepping
12:09 pm
forward to lead this national effort and deliver once again for his country. the secondary i want to talk about is vaccines in the long run the best way to defeat corona virus is through a vaccine after all this is a new disease this is uncertain science but i'm certain that we will throw everything we've got at developing a vaccine the u.k. is at the forefront of the global effort we've put more money than any other country into the global search for a vaccine and for all the efforts around the world 2 of the leading vaccine developments taking place here at home at oxford and imperial. both of these promising projects are making rapid progress and i've told the scientists leading them that we'll do everything in our power to support 1st i'm today making 22500000 pounds available to the imperial project to support their phase 2 clinical
12:10 pm
trials which are going to assess a sample of several 1000 and for them to begin the work on subsequently a very large phase 3 trial 2nd i'm today making available 20000000 pounds to the oxford team to fund their clinical trials the team have accelerated the trials program process working with the regulator the m h r a who have been absolutely brilliant and as a result i can announce that the fact that the vaccine from the oxford project will be trialed in people from this thursday. in normal times reaching this stage would take years and i'm very proud of the work taken so far at the same time we'll invest in manufacturing capability so that if either of these vaccines
12:11 pm
safely works then we can make it available for the british people as soon as humanly possible. nothing about this process is certain vaccine development is a process of trial and error and trial again that's the nature of how vaccines are developed but i told sarah gilbert and robyn shattuck 2 of our most inspiring scientists that we are going to back them to the hilt and give them every resource that they need to get the best possible chance of success as soon as possible after all the upside of being the 1st country in the world to develop a successful vaccine is so huge that i am throwing everything at it. coronavirus is a powerful enemy but i believe that the power of human ingenuity stronger every day
12:12 pm
the science gets better and we gather more information and we understand more about how to defeat the virus but in the meantime there's one thing that you can do and that is to stay at home to protect the n.h.s. and save lives thank you very much i'm now going to. serve out her as the health secretary matt hancock there giving the u.k. government daily coronavirus a press briefing and he defended the government's record on procurement of protective kit for frontline medical staff and said a vaccine would be trialed from this thursday but it seems likely he'll be questioned on the latest revelations that the u.k. decision not to get involved in e.u. wide acumen was a political one what an administrative error as ministers have claimed well it and it is still with me so is that you've been listening to all of that the government still on the far on b.p. with a new revelation about procurement. yeah absolutely when you see in his seat at the
12:13 pm
restrooms that made 2 ministers in the past saying that the reason they didn't join the pick shoot scheme was because they didn't get a mess regarding the scheme there was some type of mix up well today we've been hearing a very different story and one that might be damning for the government which is that according to the permanent undersecretary for the f c o the foreign and commonwealth office the decision not to take part in that the e.u. scheme was a political one. it was a political decision the mission. is rather not correct brussels briefed. ministers about what was available what was on offer and the decision is now. now that's going to lead to many questions no doubt as to exactly why the u.k. government took that so-called political decision not to join that scheme when the
12:14 pm
u.k. is still for intents and purposes it in that transition period there they are still within the e.u. in many senses and how many lives were put at risk and ultimately lost due to a lack of that p.p. that maybe could have been procured as a result of joining us scheme all of these questions likely to be directed towards the government and of course those pressures on p.p. are very pronounced and there are now calls by and it's just bosses in downing street and sells at full the 0 down if you consult for members of the public not to be mandated to wear masks in public because that could lead to even less shortages than what we currently see and that could mean those who really need those frontline and it's a start won't be able to get access to that type of p.b. those types of at face masks and so on in new comes following the regulations over the weekend a number of shipments that the government were expecting to arrive haven't run yet
12:15 pm
we're still according to some sources expecting that they won't be arriving at least by the end of the day and we could be looking at tomorrow and every day of course does count in this fight against coated 90 thanks so much for that case he said adding that the time ican tell her that hospital staff a 3rd health of broken promises and simply want the government to be straightforward about any shortages in kids. we're getting a bit tired of of hearing it's on its way but we need is we need to be able to go to work we assure that the people will be there and that we're protected when we're doing our jobs and see these patients you know where putting our selves at risk we understand that risk of we're happy to go along with entries not patients we just expect the government to to provide it was the right equipment and 1st of all is this pandemics been going on really we've been hearing that it's on it's way it's a logistical issue the supplies are there we just can't get it to you book at what point do we say look just tell us the truth you don't have it so it's i just say
12:16 pm
that you know we much prefer that then the constant kind of what feels like nonsense about it coming advice all mosques being what in public is the thought is don't tell people to wear them simply to avoid running out of these mosques then they're not really taking science lead decisions overwhelming. yeah i think it's really important that the masks are kept for health care professionals but at the same time people can wear masks made of other things so you don't have to wear a suit you can mask you know a scarf or a piece of piece of cloth over your face is still effective in preventing you from infecting other people and that's the purpose of the mass it's not to protect you it's to protect other people so if other people wear it they are then protected you advice 1st so it doesn't have to be a surgical mask or a hospital mask it can be at home made makeshift mask what about reusing personal protective equipment that's been suggested do you think that is effective is that
12:17 pm
safe no it's not effective nor is it safe and what it shows is that we don't have enough personal protective equipment. still to come this. report highlights the worsening divides between brits richest and poorest school children do not down here from a politician and former teacher. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then .

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. america's got 20 or 30000000 people unemployed now the question is why have they no savings
12:19 pm
why don't they have a statement that's a very important question that we need to look at. tracing apps to vent for use by the likes of the n.h.s. must ensure privacy is respected to be successful that's according to a joint statement from almost $300.00 privacy experts and academics the wall the technology is doomed to fail if people don't trust it. it is crucial that citizens trust the applications in order to produce the fish an uptake to make a difference in tackling the crisis it is vital that in coming out of the current crisis we did not create a tool that enables large scale data collection on the population either now or at a later time thus solutions which allow reconstructing invasive information about
12:20 pm
the population should be rejected without further discussion one of the joint statement signatories professor. join me and he told me that a decent tracking system would ensure greater user autonomy. it would be even impossible in many cases for someone to recall everyone but they had close contact with over let's say a period of 2 weeks so that's why i made in this process can be can be much more effective and of course you think i might be interrupting confidentiality that's an issue isn't it because the n.h.s. as it's working to ensure privacy is protected and we we really have to trust that it is don't we exactly and that's a key differentiate it or of the 2 major approaches for automated contact tracing right now so the 1st one is a centralized one and this is similar to what has been used let's say in places like south korea and singapore where basically the idea is that you have an app that runs to your phone and then once you're diagnosed with
12:21 pm
a disease is going to upload information on the server that may contain location data or may contain information about other phones that you have been in contact with and then someone would use that information calculate the risk of the individuals that were in contact with you and then they will not be find themselves or that this happens now centrally in the decentralized case for example as in the case of the google apple a proposal that i think many of your viewers have already know that is is currently in development what happens is that the calculation of the risk that you might be infected or you might been in close contact with someone who's diagnosed happens when your fall so basically there is still a server but the information which is abroad on the server is not identifying so this is a much more privacy enhanced way of doing this. the metropolitan police is

facing a legal action over the death of p.c. keith palmer during the westminster terror attack on march 27th seen from the family of the officer that it was dusty has a story. forces facing legal action over the death of palmer who died during the terror attack back in 2017 right here at the gates of parliament michelle palmer's offices which is now accusing scotland yard of failing to do more to protect her husband leaving him in her words alone. and having to guard and open gates palmer was one of 5 that was killed in the attack by helen. 82 seconds to drove across the bridge from the opposite end plowing into many protests before finally crashing into parliament it's then that he descended from his car and fatally stabbed to try. his rampage only came to an end when he was shot dead by armed officers the chief coroner ruled the palmer could still be alive marksman a close by the nearest was 80 yards away. from that due to shortcomings in the
12:23 pm
security system the armed officers were not aware of requirement to remain in the close proximity to the gates the inquest also heard evidence revealing that a senior officer had raised concerns about the positioning of marksman then there were also allegations that m i 5 should have been monitoring the suit who was a must in combat at the time more closely with the security service refused at the time of the inquest but on top of all of the metropolitan police itself has refused to accept responsibility to keep the staff and hasn't responded to this latest action except to confirm it has received the notice of it but did apologize in the aftermath of the inquest the chief coroner has plainly carried out a rigorous. and we reservedly accept his conclusion even the possibility that the m.p.'s lost the chance to prevent a brave and courageous officer is unacceptable for the loss of the possibility to

protect him from masood we are deeply sorry security outside the palace of westminster has changed a lot since the attack but that's true and it's all too late for peace promise weirdo. on his young daughter but now the metropolitan police could be for if not just to express regret but admit liability clear hard to address that they are to u.k. london. to break comes to an end one report is highlighting discrepancies between private and state schools students when it comes to home learning during look dumb . a something trust report highlights of the 3rd of students are participating in remote online learning but it's funny show that those from private schools are twice as likely to take part in their state educated counterparts the report says that 60 percent of private school pupils are able to access school work a line that compares to fewer than a quarter of those who are state educated and while 45 percent of school children are in touch with their teachers the figure rises to 80 percent of private
12:25 pm
secondary school students and over 60 percent of private primary school children with a date has yet to be confirmed for the reopening of schools in the education secretary says the 5 tests will need to be met including a fall in infections and deaths these comments follow reports of plans to open schools as early as may remember the london assembly and former teacher david gergen told me the private schools are well prepared for this and other schools simply aren't. i think private schools that really got into gear to actually provide whatever value they can for that service because parents are continuing to pay thousands of pounds for their children to get an education so they're going to put in place all the benches that they need to to keep their ins happy because it's a different dynamic where to set about to say sorry but so much information is available online so why isn't that accessible for most well i think the information that's available online on the internet is available for everybody who wants to
12:26 pm
look at it but i think the difference might be private schools independent schools will be directing this judas and providing it tell you that lesson content on a much more regular basis for their students and pupils during this down period whereas the state schools 93 percent of the children in this country go to state schools probably don't feel such a necessity to do that in terms of needing to provide a service for their money which is being paid by parents who have to pay fees that just simply isn't the case with state schools but you do have discrepancies even within the state system because in many ways some schools are funded very very well some schools are not funded that well and because of the way schools have been funded due to a formula which is not the same formula over the whole country you do have

a areas such as merseyside hole and other places in the north of the midlands particularly where schools are really struggling and don't have the money to. you know provide music lessons and so on in the normal times. and finally the house of commons is voted to go at least partially online let's take a look at how it might work and some of the changes we can expect.

max keiser this is the kaiser report that show that warren buffett doesn't need to watch you know i got to ask rhetorical and it will be a theme i think for the next few minutes america's got 20 or 30000000 people unemployed now the question is why have they no savings why don't they have a savings that's a very important question that we need to look into stacy perhaps because of what frederic bastiat warned a couple 100 years ago when plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies here we are over 49 years after going off the gold standard in 1900.
