all of life you know how one is born in your have people who have to take care of you and feed you and change your diaper and then by the time you are in your eighty's or ninety's and you're at the end of life you're at the same sort of position and having people change your nappies and feed you and be the you and put you to bed well i think we're in that bit of the cycle with the u.s. dollar remember the petrodollar was can see in the 1950 s. but really born in 1981 when nixon took us off the gold standard and we've come full circle because remember in the 1970 s. we had the oil embargo war is in the early days of this petro dollar being a full you know u.s. dollar backed global currency grid and here we have a special report trump told saudis cut oil supply or lose u.s. military support so apparently in an april 2nd phone call trump told saudi crown

prince mohammed bin solomon that unless the organization of the petroleum exporting countries opec started cutting oil production he would be powerless to stop lawmakers from passing legislation to withdraw u.s. troops in the kingdom for sources familiar say yeah well i don't really understand this all saudi relationship anymore i mean why are we why do we have troops there and saudi arabia anyway why do we have troops and cutter so huge military bases it's a waste of money. why do we have troops in south korea that's a waste of money why do we have troops in germany 50000 american troops in germany that's a waste i want to you know we cause we have is huge military presence all over the world we have a huge cia n.s.a. all these intelligence agencies that we pay you know as taxpayers they're funded with $1.00 to $1.00 trillion dollars a year and when this covert money team thing hits trump is like. we don't know or we think it's from china we think it's from ohio but what in my

opinion the cia for they can't do a coup in venezuela they've lost their ability to do that anymore they don't know what's going on anywhere in the world what give me back my money ok i know what to do with my money i don't need to be giving it to the cia well in terms of looking a lot like the 1970 s. right now as we head into the last days of the dollar you know back in 1973 through 79 we had you know the 1973 oil embargo then we had the 1979 iran revolution and that caused in $73.00 the price of oil went from $3.00 to $12.00 and this causes huge lines across that place and we had inflation we had interventionist fed by the way that was the beginning of the interventionist fed when tall paul told paul came in in 1979 any re interest rates way up high in order to basically keep the dollar as good as gold now we have the opposite we're having to go negative and

then there was a shortage of supply of u.s. oil and that was maintaining you know the u.s. dollar and our primacy and our hedge of money we threaten to basically bomb them are you know cut off saudi arabia at that time but they have the power here we have the opposite is in oversupply this was ted cruz back on april 21st and he tweeted 20 tankers filled with 40000000 barrels of saudi oil are headed to the u.s. this is 7 times the typical monthly flow at the same time oil futures are plummeting and millions of u.s. jobs in jeopardy my message to the saudis turned that tankers that back around so you know just like when you're a baby and you're born in your diapers are this big now or diapers are this big and you know that's the only sort of difference as very similar to what we had in the 1970 s. while lists were off the russian gay folks when where that ran for like 3. years off broadway once again be say rachel maddow playing that crazy housewife who sees

russians in her cupboards oh my god the russians and then that got played out and then we i think ron to china and gate and the saudis are trying to disrupt the american shale industry oh my god imagine that they're trying to disrupt the american shell industry after we've boasted that we are bigger exports of oil than opec than saudi arabia they responded right and they're out there are sending you know thousands and thousands of tankers lined up it's it's you know we need females running the world i think i think males of have have you know their sell by date has come and gone there's just too. stupid i think maybe we need a new kind of global u.s. dollar standard a new standard unit of account because this is matt it's at the end days again

we're back to the 1970 s. we had a cold war back in the 1970 s. that was it's no. coincidence then that the baby boomers who are in basically a midlife crisis want to return to their teenage years this is before they return to their baby years and they need this big nappies so right now they're back in their cold war days they want that what they had an experience back then we were threatening to bomb iran back in the ninety's seventy's that still going on we had nixon also of course not only did he take us off the gold standard but he also you know introduced china back and he brought china into the world economy that's been great for china not so great for they u.s. citizen so you know back in the 1970 s. we also had stagflation and the shortages and you see people lining up for gasoline to fill their tanks back then that was in one. 173 we also had serial killer is

a lot of serial killers as well that in cells of the day we now have in cells today who do mass shootings but back then they used to do serial killing and that brings me back to because of course ted cruz is all upset about this oil situation he was born in 1970 by the way but many say he was the zodiac killer which was one of the serial killers of the 1970 s. solo stuff forget about disco right this is really to the defining characteristic of the seventy's donna summers possibly the greatest female vocalist but much better than barbra streisand much better than madonna donna summer socially and maybe not as great as chaka khan but definitely she put the boogie into the seventy's like nobody's business i can tell you that and remember i said there's a cycle of life we've come full circle and this is and the most amazing quote from richard nixon in 1993 and this is when the oil embargo started and iran

then as opec they said they wanted the price to double or triple they wanted to set the price higher and it was at $3.00 at the time for a barrel of oil and it did eventually go to $12.00 but richard nixon of course was angry and he said this and now think of fracking and what has happened today with negative oil prices and september of 1973 richard nixon said quote oil without a market as mr most had learned many many years ago does not do a country much good referring to the 1951 nationalization of the iranian oil industry but between october 1073 and february 97 for the opec countries raised prices by 4 fold to nearly $12.00 so oil without a market as iran learned. is does not do a country much good so here we have fracking without a market that storage for their price that they need to break even now nothing

exxon also said at around that time famously i guess we're all keynesians now. right so he understood that the economy was transitioning to one of pure debt based money right that the days of hard money the days of accountability the days of the american supremacy in terms of its ability as a manufacturer an export or what they inherited after the huge when of world war 2 . were over and there was also the last time that wage earners had any kind of decent wages. average wage earner could support a family and not go not deliver their car and work in a wal-mart chair right so he understood the damage he was inflicting upon the u.s. economy and. you know the oil

markets should have gone belly up long ago you know it's supports the quoted industry that has already been superceded by far superior technologies than the combustion engine and some of these other technologies that are 100 years old or more but you know we keep it around like some demented 98 year old great great grandparent that you know maybe. is past the past their prime well that sounds like our you know our presidential race but let's move on to what you know here he was not only referencing how the us empire is born of you know violence and threatening overthrowing the the democratically elected most today in iran and he nationalize the oil industry today we've come full circle because america has basically nationalized its oil industry it's been 0 percent interest rates that interventionist fed that has subsidized the oil industry the fracking industry which has lost money the last 10 years and that the only way you can lose

money and keep on going is in a soviet sort of style where you're being subsidized by the state but now they're actually the u.s. government is going to intervene and bail them out even though they still won't make money but now the taxpayer gets to own them and you know in terms of this full circle he took us off you know and richard nixon tarkus off the gold standard hard money and we're now back to hard money because i mean is the revenge of hard money against the us it's the death knell is the final nail in the coffin of this u.s. dollar system that isp. spidered and you know the whole rise and fall the crashes in 200-2008 this are all about this right plus it's global so every country has being victimized by keynesian psychopaths venezuela colombia mexico everywhere in the world china japan you know you name the country and they're a keynesian fia money's cesspool and they have access to bitcoin and you're

separation you're separating the state from the currency vladimir putin recently said in an interview something he was asked about bitcoin and he said well it's you can't have a national crypto currency because they are transnational they're not they don't they're not organised snowboarders no borders right and we're within 5 seconds stop pushing himself as probably the only world leader anywhere that even has any understanding of crypto and bitcoin at all and finally i want to end with these 2 things that show you that the dollar is doomed and this is the death now these are the last days that the dollar it's a petro dollar system so here is the price of oil going back to $870.00 this is the 1st time it's negative both nominally and in real terms and finally of course that you need an economy you need a thriving wealth producing industry you know leading power in order to rule the world and here is debt to g.d.p. vs velocity of money this is the death this is this is it since 2000 it's been

dying velocity of money is way down it's in the hands of a few they think that you know the game's over right that's exactly what happened the soviet union you know we're recreating the soviet union i would love to talk to president bush out of here put about this on the kaiser report you know i've been sent over hundreds of invites to your office on the crime one so far no response blat let's make it happen. well we'll take a break and when we come back lots more coming your way. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being

led so. directly. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision little sheltered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was right to be instructed here you know told to shut up or they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he write me with his birth thinking if you

take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended by hand and. almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women.

or. welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser time now to go to jason williams he's a co-founder and partner at morgan creek digital jason welcome to the kaiser report hello hello great to have you on now we want to get john for one thing that's going on here is they have an ng it's expected around a may 11th in the big coin having. to explain briefly what that is for folks and have has it been priced in yet up so the having is

a important event in the big corn world where the allocation of bitcoin gets cut in half it's a devastating event for miners and that they have to have their businesses right or they will essentially go out of business so what you're seeing right now is as an exciting moment a little bit of foam oh people are buying into this event my opinion is so we're going to have a sell the news and probably have a minor capitulation going into the having which causes the price to go down so pressure. but amazing event happens every 4 years and this is the coins olympics yeah a bit coins olympics you know you mention mining there and you got into big coin really mining and doing a lot of mining and we can talk live with more about that but to kind of broad now a little bit so. i just saw

a number basically that miners span or were rewarded last year i don't know how many billions of dollars but this was this was positioned as this is the cost to secure the network mining secures the network explain what that means yes so the hash rate that that's contributing to mining bitcoin it costs money. so you have to purchase power. put that power through computers those computers cost money and that money those assets that contribution of that hash rate all securest what is the block chain a bit coin and secures those transactions you're able to for people like me who are investors a big point arrive at a base price for big corning if you can start to look at the amount of cash rate that's contributed to the network. and most of us feel like here in north america the floor for mining big coin is around $55800.00 box if you're in kazakhstan or

iceland could be lower some of the miners like genesis minor may even have lower base prices but you're able to start to contemplate what the floor is on this thing where really brings the pain for miners if the price drops sounds like any other type of mining gold mining so mining coal mining there's a cost to it and if you're profits down dixie the cost 10 years ago not a business you know this is interesting because a lot of people say because it's backed by nothing well if that you know i now feel that money is backed by nothing and the cost of creating a trillion dollars a fee out by clicking on a computer key and adding some zeros i know that is generally nothing but in the big claim area actually there is a cost it is backed by something explain yeah i mean it's backed by the cost of the computer so back when i started mining the theory i'm in bitcoin we're building g p

u's buying a 6 miners those miners back in s. 9 would cost you about $2800.00 box back in 2016 and you know you'd have to put together thousands of these computers to to put together in a network get on a mining coal and you start taking 2800 times a 1000 you can do the math. there's your hardware contribution then each of these computers takes about $1250.00 watts of power times a 1000 now you're buying nearly half a mega water a megawatt of power to run these things that cost money you get power bills at your home so take that power bill multiply it by a 1000 and it's a real op ex and cap ex cost that legitimate business people are investing in the bitcoin network it is backed by real money real investments real power and

that's why this thing is not like our feet dead money that we're dealing with today so in the gold mining business as i dig deeper and deeper and deeper my costs go up so the value of that scarce resource which i have to go get because and then go deeper to get it goes up because people want it it's hard money i guess similarly with bitcoin mining even though the reward after having as cut and half it goes from 12 and a half to 6 the quarter bt say. the the the hope of course is that the value per bitcoin goes up because if in fact that having happens and if the hash rate goes up it's because it's becoming more scarce it's becoming harder money and in a world flooded with money there's going to be a demand for hard money but you describe this as to very tricky for miners a massive get things very right or they could we could see some miners go offline

and some of describe what you mean by that yeah max you know there are miners that are going to hit the wall come may 12th when the having a curse because their technology can't keep up with the difficulty that's occurring so right now there's some portion some percentage of miners that are running ass nines or some technology that's similar to the. and those miners contribute about 13.5 terra hash for 2nd so the network the next generation s. seventeen's that have been released by the basics producers contribute 58 terra hash for 2nd so you've almost got this exponential efficiency through chip set technology advancements that's common sense and so the market miners who are in this game the long hands the people with low time preference they've already switched out the old miners and put in the new technology so they're prepared for the future the next 4 years of mining those that didn't have the resources for

capital constraint had been selling their decline to keep up with the depressed price and haven't made the cap ex expense to put in the new technology there don totally don come may 12th the when the having a curse because they're going to be not able to mine any decline and they still have the op ex expenses of our the hardware replacement so this these computers are scrap max they're scrap it and now you mention the difficulty so let's talk about that a little bit so the having is one layer of the big coin protocol stack another layer in that stack would be the difficulty adjustment so every 2 weeks that the protocol essentially surveys what's happening out there and will either increase or decrease the difficulty at which it's to find a block and

a block happens every 10 minutes and the rewards or pay out every 10 minutes and the monetary policy because it has to issue big clients every single 10 minutes but that difficulty adjustment or the way you're describing it if there is a lot of mine or something go offline and hash rate drops then when we see a difficulty adjustment way. with essentially a just for that and it's a a lowering in the adjustment and the network would maintain the genius of this protocol that the the 10 minute block time when would continue unabated right you have actually described it beautifully in the genius that is the toshi nakamoto or whomever that group of people is that represents that idea they've built the system to incentivize miners so as difficulty increases it's more competitive for us

to be awarded bitcoin with mining contribution but if there was a vent and event where miners came off line and there was less hash rate that difficulty follows that to incentivize people to come back online or to stay online because they're getting more of a share of the big reward every 10 minutes it's an amazing monetary policy that's algorithmically driven without a fed without gero how without these these as you would call a collector kratz and all this crony capitalism i mean i wish we had more time to talk about p.p.p. and all the rest of it because i've just seen my friends my family our small businesses be absolutely decimated by putting me in a basement right yeah i wish we had a lot of time to talk about it maybe we'll do something on the pot death but let's talk further about this difficulty so the adjustment occurs in a way that would override any notion of

a mining death spiral so this was a over the 1st few years of big coins life there were big coin advocates or personalities who would say you know and mistakenly claim that a big coin death spiral would occur because once the has fresh starts to go down and the profitability of mining goes down. it's a cascade effect as you might see in the banking system for example one bank goes down it takes a lot of banks down but what we've discovered really several years into the project right this was an obvious day one it was only obvious several years later again to the genius of the toshi here that if in fact a lot of miners go off line the protocol somehow figures out the sweet spot to get greedy miners to commit capital to go try to make big point right it isn't that

how capitalism and free markets work if there's an opportunity to put money to work and make a return on that investment smart business people do that all day right max right so and the goal of the miner is to get the reward so they've got to solve the hash and that means you add a block onto that onto the chain which has all the transactions of the last 10 minutes there verified by the. the minor gets to add to the block at the get the reward and they have the software that has and just in a way all it took to describe how this works so that so it's that the solving of the hash it's a brute force. calculation barrage you know trillions and trillions as you point out i think that has right now isn't they quintillions hundreds of can tell you answer thousands of quintillions but those are gases they're guessing at the solution that's being put forward by the protocol and that cash rate

if the price keeps going up in the ashtray keeps going up and the nonce which is that number of that they're chasing continues to get smaller. is it's interesting because the hardest money in the world is produced by chasing an ever smaller fraction of a number jason. max one would think that the price goes up in that sonar you know as big. as as more hash rate continues to be added to the network as the difficulty continues to rise as the reward continues to shrink you get the supply and demand shock that's constantly hitting the network the price has to go up you know this is bath not my opinion right on all right well thanks so much for being on the kaiser reports as an alliance of morgan creek digital my pleasure and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stay severed like

to thank our guest jason williams as i said he's over there morgan creek does it all if you want to catch us at twitter it's tweet us a kaiser report intellects not buy all. the analysis so it seems wrong but i will just don't. let me. get to see. this day become active. and engaged because the

trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. time after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important it's accelerating the transition to sustainable price board sustainability stay number man at a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely hamas followed dissolute the. libby got into congress number articles and got it done does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be going to mean and i mean look at the steep mountains this is the move in this new me doing to me man i'm strengthen them in the best understood look to what is going in.

welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is all to u.k. . the british foreign secretary claims it's too early to tell if britain's desperate call on coronavirus is the worst in europe as fatalities had 32000 the highest in the region. the government launches its track and trade sample beyond a point despite concerns over previous insecurity we hear from a technology expert. u.k. u.s. claim bridles states i'm talking the poor trees working on the coronavirus response with malicious cyber campaigns. and also the opposition leader calls for a national consensus on lifting the lockdown to give the public confidence to

return to work as unions say the government's current guard lines put blinds at risk we'll be hearing from a teacher and former union representative. coronavirus death figures in britain another highest in europe as fatalities increase to over $32000.00 despite the foreign secretary claiming it is too early to tell if the u.k.'s record is truly the worst that's as the art of wind is trotting the government's track and trace up despite only going privacy concerns as he's at he joins me now with the latest. how do the figures stack up. well these numbers would represents a really sad milestone for the united kingdom in that it means the u.k. now has the west that toll in the whole of europe from now these figures been

really have been released by the office for national statistics the ins we can look at how some of them break down so for a little wales alone those figures suggest that just under $30000.00 people have died after testing positive for coded 1000 leading up to the 24th of april which was almost 2 weeks ago which would suggest the actual death toll figure is significantly higher in the same week almost 6000 people died in can loan the previous week the figure was just over 3000 so that's double the previous week not the total number of deaths outside a hospital in that week leading up to the 24th of april including care homes people dying at home and so on is just over 7700 while that represents an excess number of deaths of 11 and a half 1000 compared to the same week the before so in other words 11 and a half 1000 more deaths than in the week leading up to april 24th

2019 and when you take into account the numbers from scotland and northern ireland that death toll so passes 32000 which means that britain has moved past it to be in spain those numbers there at 272-6000 respectively however of course we know that different countries count deaths in different ways so those numbers may not always tally up exactly now we've been hearing today from dominic rob he's been giving the daily briefing at the daily briefing to the press and he's been saying that it's been it's simply too early to tell whether the u.k. does have the worst set in europe. i think we'll get a real verdict on how all countries have done until the pandemic is over and particularly until we've got comprehensive international data on all cause mortality but i think there's 2 points i'd make about the way the u.k. has approached things there are different ways of counting deaths as we know we've

had that debate in this country we now published data that include all deaths in all settings and not all countries do that so i'm not sure that the international comparison works and if you can you're reliably know that all countries are measuring the same way. and it also depends on how good friendly countries are in gathering their statistics and our own office of national statistics is widely knowledge to be a world leader and one of the reasons we can brace that is because we want transparency because we confidently believe that it's only if we get the full transparency that will be the best place to tackle the farce. now this comes as it's emerged that you know we had boris johnson say treeview see that he had been tried to shaken hands with a number of people in a hospital that he had visited where it was known that of course people had it 90 well it's not a marriage that on that very same day he boasted of shaking those patients hands one of the subgroups a sage decides if he could parse the group for majesty had agreed that people

should stop shaking hands so unclear whether boris johnson was aware of that official advice or whether he simply chose to ignore it now this comes as you've been hearing the daily death toll figures coming in and they are $690.00 story that would represent a significant increase on the figures for me yesterday and so pops turned up within your thirty's the country has got over the worst of the peak of crude code in 98 is the tracking apps being rolled out despite those privacy concerns. absolutely we saw yesterday 177 cybersecurity experts writing a joint letter drink statement stressing their concerns that these technologies this tracing out could be used by all thirty's to track trace and survey people way beyond the end of the coded 90 crisis we yesterday to help secure not hancock

announced that the trucking trace at would be launched in trialed on the isle of wight we've been hearing from the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster michael gove he said he hopes more than half of the $80000.00 households only idle island do download so the trial can be done successfully while the local m.p. bob seeley also has encouraged part of his m.p.'s at least 2 down at the outset that they should do so because he believes it will help the country to deal with that crisis now elsewhere we've been hearing seen n.h.s. sources revealing to the h s j journal that there are a number of issues around absolute truth from those fears about spying they are to do with cybersecurity and with clinical testing in safety and also with performance but the n.h.s. is digital spokesperson saying that testing is still going on and there's more reviews to be done into the app thank you very much. well

although the n.h.s. technology expert a report of a tech journal the register carrying the cutting tell me that the privacy and security issues might be secondary to whether or not it actually works. and there are 2 main problems one is over the privacy aspect this information will be will take quite a lot information from you and your usage and provide it to a central database there's obviously pretty concerns there whether that is legal or not needs to be discussed but there is clear concerns and if people are concerned they may not download the app which would cause a big problem big knock on effect but the big issue that i that i wrote about recently was well i actually work the way that it works is it uses bluetooth and it is sort of the you so you pretty put your phone puts out a bluetooth i.d. and picks up the blue tooth i.d.'s of other phones by the way that they you can't govern structured it that won't work if the app is in the background or if the

phone is turned off so it's sort of assuming that people will be walking around with this app open all the time and their phone open all the time if those 2 things aren't happening then it won't pick up the bluetooth id's of other phones around you ok i understand it will be happening a lot of the time so short is better than nothing and has a couple and i didn't have that they got to where the virus could be it is better than nothing but the question is should you go this route at all there is a different sort of apps a lot of other countries are using and being promoted by by google and apple which will pick up all bluetooth ids it's more to sort of the essential approach and that will be more effective no the n.h.s. u.k. government decided that it wants to be able to have access to that data itself in order to do more analysis and one of the compromises that it's had to reach is it won't be entirely accurate it won't pick up all 'd of the phones around it so the question is it we don't know is that why they're running tests it could end up

being ineffective it could end up being effective enough. and on the death toll itself former head of health analysis at the office for national statistics jamie jenkins joined me he told me britain wasn't the only country revising its death figures well i've been trying to do a miss to take me on as data and you can kind of extrapolate this to what's actually going on in the 11 days since then by using the delio hospital data that we get and i think in the k. we're probably over own 50000 deaths now that kind of you could attribute to the current 19 pandemic and they'll be tested directly caused by it and then kind of deaths of their kind of happen in the community because of the code not in situations such as people perhaps not going to hospital so it was always recognised to look at excess deaths over and above what the average would be and i think that's about 50000 in the care that went the figures in the way they collated does that explain why perhaps we have one of the worst performing in europe because

there are differences in other countries although not in how they calculate their total deaths. so yeah if you go on social media or look in the press it on as a lot of comparisons being made to different countries and i probably would say you want to treat them with a bit of caution because yesterday the italian staffing agencies that's the equivalent of the own s.m. what they did is they looked at their data for the whole of march and what they've actually shown is that there was probably 25000 more deaths in march and would have occurred in a normal year and that's actually more than double what they've treated to cope with previously so so you've got to try and compare apples with apples and apples with pears and i think what some of the some of the leading statistician's analysts across the world have been kind of agreeing on is that you could go to basically look at the excess deaths of our the number of deaths over and above what's actually would expect that to happen in the country. meanwhile the government's chief scientific advisor is being forced to clarify his initial comments on

immunity back in march the patriot valent said the building up a degree of population immunity to the disease was a key part of the government's efforts but the initial herd immunity strategy of letting the virus pass through the population was later discredited after modeling appeared to show it could lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths i should be clear about what i was trying to say and if i didn't say this clearly enough then i apologize but what i was trying to say was that in the absence all of therapeutic the way in which you can stop. community becoming. susceptible to this is through music and immunity can be obtained either by vaccination or it can be obtained by people who at the infection. specialist in the field assistant professor of medicine at queen's university in caliber dr matt strauss told me he thought herd immunity was the solution if done in a gradual responsible way. i think of the national herd immunity strategy was an

imperfect and i think as we learn more about this virus we have an opportunity to have a refined herd immunity strategy that doesn't take away the other strategies like the app that the last reporter was talking about what we know about this virus that has a very junior mercalli profile which respect to age so the vast majority of people were dying to print a virus or over the age of 50 for people under 25 it's not more deadly than influenza. what i favor is a strategy will be to let young healthy people out of lockdown and allow me to generate herd immunity the herd immunity strategy get that through a college london paper looked at was not that it was not a vertical interdiction strategy that takes a specific mortality profile into account and also it is there a degree of immunity already against something not this within the population can that be determined to top the stage i think that is hypothetical so i have. you know i'll just scientist friends and we were discussing whether because other

coronaviruses in the community that do not cause death because the cold weather reece the exposure to those coronaviruses make you for some amount of immunity to cope at 19 is not clarified it makes a certain amount of. sense. well let's take a look at the latest coronavirus figures as they emerge from across the home nations according to official government figures almost 200000 britons have now tested positive and more than 29400 have lost their lives scottish 1st minister nicola sturgeon has been discussing steps scotland could take when his knock down begins to be eased allowing people to socialise in small bubbles is one suggestion she says no dates have been set and locked out is likely to continue for now and although not enough veld an extra $700000000.00 pounds of funding for infrastructure regeneration and tourism in a bid to stimulate economic recovery and 1st mr foster says that the virus would affect all the not his way of life for many years to come. and let's take

a look at how the pandemic looks on a global scale and according to johns hopkins university which collects worldwide data we can see that over $3600000.00 current infected would be over a quarter a 1000000 deaths while more than a 1000000 have recovered well italy is getting its 1st taste of life as long as slowly eased off the nearly 2 months 4000000 italians had it back to work on monday while others were granted their 1st prolonged period out in the fresh air in 2 months meanwhile washington's renewed attacks on china cause global markets already reeling from the pandemic to plunge even further european stocks fell sharply despite lockdowns being slightly eased and some of the reasons biggest economies south korea and hong kong also showed a significant drop. still to come this hour reports claim foreign states of targeting british and u.s. labs focusing on coronavirus response with malicious cyber campaign.

we go to work so straight home. is you know media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to get us out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

u.k. and u.s. claim rival states are targeting the burra trees working on the corona virus responds with malicious side the campaigns don't rub the foreign secretaries well that cyber criminals aided by hostile states are seeking to exploit the coronavirus crisis or take a shot it was dusty has the latest she's here with me now in the studio shot it tell us about what is happening here then but essentially the government is claiming that militia cyber campaigns are being waged in the united kingdom so the parties pharmaceutical companies and many other health care organizations those organizations are really at the forefront of trying to tackle the coronavirus crisis now apparently these online threats are operating in various capacities looking for anything that they can get that own hands on to try and save their own retrospective campaigns against the coronavirus crisis using various objectives and

motivations all the way from fraud to espionage according to the government now this day dominic rob the foreign secretary he spoke about this very issue saying that the united kingdom is absolutely determined to tackle the coronavirus crisis alongside similar tain is they trying to eliminate the threat from other states to try to exploit this crisis all teams have identified campaigns targeting healthcare bodies pharmaceutical companies research organizations and also various different arms of local government. now there are various objectives and motivations that lie behind these attacks from fraud one hand to espionage but they tend to be designed to steal bulk personal data intellectual property and wider information that supports those items and they're often linked with other state taxes. dominic roth there also added that the united kingdom might see much more of this kind of thing in the next few weeks and months to come but is ensuring that the government is

doing everything it can to mitigate the harm now the government did though fall short about trying to would really label and point fingers of blame to a particular state across the world who is behind these attacks having said that the mainstream media is one step ahead jumping to its own conclusions and has already collated a list of suspects the usual suspects at the top of the list is the likes of china iran and of course russia now all of this comes 2 days after g c h q howard released a warning that hackers linked to rogue states hostile states were going after you the unique universities across the united kingdom attempting to produce vaccines and testing kits in that case we're already hearing of retaliations possible retaliations particularly from tobias our tusa defense committee chairman he said the 1st and would not hesitate to retaliate appropriately adding that the global destruction of covert $9000.00 is the fog of war to conduct cyber attacks we've

also heard reaction from spy bosses from the national cybersecurity sent to branding these such attacks these alleged attacks as utterly reprehensible and confirm that they were working around the clock to decipher the exact culprits but by the way and this is a big by the way g c h q has not yet provided any evidence of any attacks that have been successful and in both cases it really hasn't stopped the mainstream media trying to already say who is behind it top of the list as i say iran china and russia as per usual thank you very much indeed should hear for that. the prime minister should seek a national consensus in forming a lock down exit strategy according to the leader of the opposition labor party secure still has called for grocery gaijin from the government to ensure the right protective measures are put in place. people are really worried about lifting up lockdown they're already worried about going back to work they need a high level of reassurance that's why we can have by

a national consensus i think that will get back to greater confidence it comes as the government's draft advice to help employers decide when to reopen was criticized by the trades union congress in a letter to the business secretary the t.t.c. said the government's plan lacked proper safeguards for employees the consultation papers suggests government proposes a return to business as usual with no new requirements placed on employees beyond existing health and safety law and no government commitment to increased health and safety in fullest meant all public awareness of their health and safety rights we believe this approach will risk the safety and wellbeing of workers as they return to work among the concerns of the guidelines only suggest businesses consider practices such as social distancing rather than enforcing them and noted that a section regarding it was left empty except for a note to say that more details would follow and also fairness to include

a requirement that firms publish risk assessments for the virus and guidance was lacking on how companies should deal with at risk groups such as pregnant women or older members of staff. earlier i spoke to teacher and former regional secretary of the national unity church martin powell davis he told me that opening businesses in schools without the right precautions risked reinfecting communities all over again the primitive see themselves was it would be crazy to go to work still the good work that's been done the reality is that they were too slow to go into the low down i know many teachers and parents fear that they're going to be too quick to rush back into opening schools fairly should there be an element of autonomy perhaps relying on business owners head teachers teachers to get this right we can't really have blanket guard lines for all. i think if there was a very fragmented approach that would be absolutely chaotic you wouldn't know which char was going back which work place was going back so i think there has to be no

national agreement and what we're saying is the national education union that has got to be on the basis of a clear safe risk assessment not just looking at things like social distancing in the schools in b.b.a. but also making sure the testing and tracing and isolation of social contacts are all in place so that schools don't become applies the just spreads the virus further and then we end up being a public health danger not just a staff but also to our communities many would see what you say it's absolutely common sense but of course some might be thinking that unions are being obstructive here and there is actually no right solution so therefore the important aspect is to get society and economy back on track but what do you make of that slight suspicion of unions being obstructive look teachers want to be back at work we're missing our own classes we know how much this is one particularly on the most disadvantaged children they need to be back but the very worst thing that we can do

it again for those disadvantaged communities where come of it is having the highest death rates is to return when it's not safe so i think the most sensible thing to do is to on the side of caution and once. trade union unison says that some care when companies are failing to give stuff at current guidance on the use of personal protective equipment risking the lives of both workers and their elderly residents he has revealed that some castoff are being denied access to vital protective equipment if employees say there are no confirmed cases of the virus one of the pairs holism being told they don't meet people in communal areas and. some tell us their employers the doing the right thing but many care workers are being put in danger because what they're being told is plain wrong they feel helpless because that often on low pay and a left to choose between bracing their health or paying their bills we need clear simple and easily accessible guidance so staff know exactly what they're entitled

to and feel more confident to challenge employers refusing to provide it unison says that current national advice on personal protective equipment usage is not clear and as a result workers have been told incorrectly that some kit mosques isn't necessary as the union is northrop titian calling on the government to step up and do more to protect home staff and residents so far it has more than 7000 signatures the public health and social care has previously said that an action plan to support the sector has been set up the government has set out a comprehensive action plan to support the adult social care sector in england throughout the corona virus outbreak including ramping up testing overhauling the way p.p. is being delivered to care homes and helping to minimize the spread of the virus to keep people safe one home minister who spoke to us on condition of being anonymous told me that there are some homes with confirmed cases where staff work without

proper p.p. . d.c.s. is to question the definition of p.p.a. because. over in the area the adult counsels giving a. pee if we are running low and cannot get it from our local the last. most of the suppliers are able to cannot provide most to be but i think we are anticipating some delays in the coming weeks so what are you doing yourself are you having to make up your own case homemade p.p. for when it comes to our data might be basic ones given to callum's what we do not get paid for by cents and a lot of downs. the content providers to mobiles as well i know you need this because what is the situation in your case do you have cases of covered 19 neck

around of ours we don't have any case but i know if i take him home must wear a half of foam case this and the cameras are working me out and face my eyes and there are lots of downs. i ask how manage your arm i have i understood maybe a cylinder well we have a quote from chase and we will get official p.p.l. i will receive a. good ear so what we see eye to eye to eye says using and that's all for this hour our colleagues at aussie america will take over the top of the hour from all of us am westminster goodbye.

seemed wrong. just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days because educated and engagement equals to trail. one something and find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground . thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military decision. every thing came to a complete. the day that i was afraid to be instructed you know told to shut up or they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me

come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birthing area if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. odd
