coronavirus in new york officials are forging ahead to reopen the state trooper we take with path we take coming down the mountain how fast those at the crime continue does the crime continue and that is purely a function of what we do the governor announcing a plan that would allow some regions to reopen as soon as may 15th but will have to meet certain criteria that includes 2 straight weeks of reductions in deaths and new cases it requires more than 30 percent of hospital and intensive care beds remain open to prepare for a potential surge newco that hospitalizations must remain below 2 per every 100000 residents and there must be enough testing capacity to test 3 percent of the population monthly and 30 contact tracers for every 100000 people while the death toll has significantly dropped hospitals are still seeing more than 600 new coronavirus cases a day with 230 people who died on monday reporting in new york trinity chávez r.t.

things as well as possible. and the same precautions are seen on the opposite side of the country as florida opens the restaurants but they're only allowed 25 percent capacity we've been here for the past 4 and a half days here and up for make sure that we're ready you know sanitize and things making sure that everybody knew the process of what we're going to do to make sure that everybody gets. you know from the to the service after chowing down at your local restaurant you haven't been to in weeks now you can walk it off on the beach in some states like florida texas and south carolina all seeing visitors again also giving beachgoers the green light president. i really believe you can go to parks you can go to beaches you keep it you know you keep the spread you keep you stay away a certain amount and i really think the public has been incredible some know not feeling the same.

system. while some states are continuing their phase one reopen other states are just fighting to be considered like massachusetts where hundreds gathered at the state capital calling for the bay state to reopen the virus was real it is real. but it was not a reason to shut down the whole country to shut down and shut people in but one area of the country isn't dealing with an open or closed conflict it's more life and death in parts of arizona and new mexico the navajo nation is the largest reservation in the country bigger than west virginia but it has more covert $1000.00 infections per capita just behind the 2 hardest hit states new york and new jersey with the death toll as of monday night $73.00 more than $2300.00 infected despite congress passing

degree premeditated murder and gun charges. and california has become the 1st state to borrow money from the federal government to pay out unemployment benefits the golden state borrow 348000000 bucks in federal money after almost 4000000 people filed for unemployment tied to the pandemic california it was approved to borrow up to $10000000000.00 in. till the end of july. right here in washington some top ranking house republicans want an investigation into china's funds flowing into american universities the group alleges china is attempting to steal ideas in a letter to the secretary of education they say quote we cannot allow a dangerous communist regime to buy access to our institutions of higher education the department of education is now considering launching that investigation. the chairman of n.b.c. news andrew lack is set to step down at the end of this month amid what the network

is calling a decision to restructure their leadership but after decades in the mainstream media lab is no stranger to scandal and it's kind of become the hallmark of his career. blevins is joining us now to discuss this crazy turn of events so rachel what do we know so far about why he's stepping down. has been with and missy off and on for nearly 3 decades so the network is branding this is just a way to restructure their leadership as they go into focusing on news in the digital age however the timing of this is incredibly notable because just last week and this n.b.c. host chris hayes became the 1st prime time host on the network to actually address the sexual assault allegations against presidential candidate joe biden that were made by former senate staffer to or now he didn't give his opinion however he did present the reports and because of that they saw a massive backlash so much so that hashtag fire chris hayes was actually trending on twitter now the network hasn't responded to the backlash however they have been

known to go about this sort of restructuring method and each time they come into a major scandal now there are a number of scandals rachel. that mr lack has been associated with can you give us a stroll down memory lane that. has been known as the fixer for n.b.c. which is to say that any time the network runs into a sort of scandal where they need to. structure their own employees or they need a boost in ratings he has been the one that they've called now if we take a look at his time with the network we find that he was hired as the president of n.b.c. news back in 1903 after dateline was caught faking an explosion in a story he then made matt lauer the anchor of the today show in 1904 black then left and b.c. in 2001 and later returned in 2015 after the networks prime time anchor brian williams was caught fabricating multiple reports now during this time as chairman lacked also kept journalists ronan farrow from publishing the details of his

investigation into harvey weinstein now when ronan farrow left and b.c. and he was finally able to speak out he revealed the not only was locke accused of downplaying those sexual assault allegations against lauer however he was also accused of sexual harassment by women in the workplace who said that he was a predator and went after them so the fixer had his own dirt to cover up and andy alack also had issues with this very network and somebody very near and dear to my heart to our friend ed schultz what can you tell us about all that drama that's right so he was briefly the c.e.o. of the broadcasting board of governors which is a government agency that supervises the media and during that time he didn't interview back in 2015 where he actually compared to a terrorist organization now he was quoted as saying we are facing a number of challenges from entities like archie which is up there pushing a point of view the islamic state in the middle east and groups like raum now the

fact that he included archie in that same with 2 known terrorist groups raises a lot of questions and also makes one wonder why he was in charge of a government agency and that's just the beginning of the question will decisions that he made one of which was talked about by our late anchor what he had to say. i think the clintons were connected to the lack connected it to him i think. they didn't want anybody in their prime time or any any word in their lead up supporting bernie sanders i think that they were in the tank for hillary clinton and i think it was managed 45 days later i was out of them as somebody said. now all in all andrew is how the career marked by the questionable figures he protected and missed scandals that he was hired to cover up we will see what unfolds at the end of the month and the real story behind it and thank you for filing that report thank you. and over in the united arab emirates where a massive fire tore through

a 48 story apartment building residents evacuated the apco tower in sharjah as emergency responders continue battling those flames no casualties so far have been reported but 7 people did suffer smoke inhalation local reports say the fire started on the 10th floor. and on top amazon engineer resigned after the company fired several employees who blew the whistle on working during the pandemic britta speak to one of those employees next and then over at the sports h.q. regina hampshire is the 1st winner of the inaugural ultimate garden the whole ball competition yes that's the thing. i think ron to china. and the saudis are trying to disrupt the americans shell industry oh my god imagine that they're trying to

disrupt the american shell and. the underlying narrative some call it a myth of american foreign policy is the country's exceptional position on the world stage this is the artist's consensus a lever is very different the global pandemic has demonstrated the u.s. should focus on its own exceptions. you cannot be both with the yeah you like.

is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. thyssen nation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. i .

have seen your engineer at amazon web services has resigned and solidarity with fire corporate and warehouse workers who protested poor working conditions with amazon amid this pandemic timber a was the v.p. of a division at us and posted his reasons for quitting the company on his personal blog site so according to bray he quit because quote he was in dismay at amazon firing whistleblowers who were making noise about warehouse employees frightened of cold midnight so he went on to say that this decision was especially hard for him because he it was the best job ever that he'd ever had and overall he'd be losing about a $1000000.00 after vesting of company shares and pay is accounted for so he mentioned a number of names in this post and one of those making the most noise is our next guest chris smalls was one of those fired amazon workers at the warehouse he is now

helping organize for the movement there so chris welcome to the show thank you for being with us 1st can you address me can you address tim braised bold move here and how you feel about it given that he named you personally as one of the people the reasons that he arrived at this decision. yeah absolutely. thank you. first of all i spoke to him briefly yesterday i think he. told him that in private we had a brief conversation he told me he was a supporter obviously you know i just want to say it takes a lot of courage to do what he did. he was able to do it. the way he did in showing solidarity with all the people from these past couple of weeks myself included. and mr bray also alluded to something towards the end of his post under the section

that he called spot a pattern he wrote about how the company treats its warehouse workers folks such as yourself as compared to earlier he says personally he was treated great but he loved his job it was the best he'd ever had but he says the warehouse workers are constantly being weekend is this true and if so can you give us some examples. yeah absolutely. i've been with the company since 2013. i worked hard for those who knew me. coming into the job itself every day i gave it my all. tried to do the best i could with the employees that i manage all supervised. but the company. they never really recognized that they didn't recognize the hard work that i actually put in. it's kind of overlooked and sometimes you work around

people just don't have your best insurance and thus that takes away from the job and i think he might oh so at the same exact way even know he has nothing to do a warehouse workers he related to was because he has compassion on the a decent human being can understand it and. obviously the c.e.o. does company and others were in a meeting that had leaked memo about me. as you did a character and i don't think he was that type of person. so he did the right thing yeah of course obviously for your name to have rolled upstream and to have your name being personally mentioned i think that speaks to the impact that people on the other end of the spectrum down at the warehouse actually can have so on that note what's being done now about all of this among the workforce at amazon can you imagine anybody joining up for. a revolt of some sort because if all you workers

walked out just one day you guys could really cause some nasa interruptions to bezos is a business plan. yeah absolutely you know and this really sad because that's not really what we want to do you know we all all we wanted was simple demands put a company to be transparent and honest with us put them to protect the employees put on the shutdown these buildings that have cases in them to stop the spread of the virus i'm not asking for them to shut down indefinitely off whatever i want them to shut down and sanitize the building employ a minimum of 14 days don't you when you stop the spread of virus stop the spread of people you can't have everybody operating on top of one another the virus are never going to go away it's going become a breeding ground and that's what i try to prevent from happening it's a little bit too late with the companies doing things now but there's still people getting sick in a still people dying as we speak so this is the reason why i continue to mobilize

formed an alliance on may 1st and we had a prime example of what we can do when we utilize our power collectively nationwide and as a result i want to be piece step down today so you know well yesterday i'm sorry and right that's what we're going to continue to do we want to speak truth to power and see what we we're goes from there and real quickly are you still in touch with some of your former coworkers are they telling you that things are remaining the same are they getting better i mean what are the conditions like today. own today yes i am in touch with them every day daily and somebody passed away today we got the news today to somebody one of our fellow former my former employees not mine per se underneath me but somebody in that building passed away. and tried to prevent and i was unable to do it and. you know this is the situation but

that's what they told me as of now. wow we're very sorry to learn of this loss of somebody you knew at that work directly in the same building with you. our condolences to them obviously so this is obviously hitting very close to home for you it's gotten really real we're going to continue to follow up with you to see how amazon the richest company in the world is moving along as this pandemic still continues chris small's thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us please follow up with us. utah highway patrolman was in for a surprise after he ended up pulling over aig guess what 5 year old driver this happened on interstate 15 and weber county patrolman 1st thought the driver needed medical attention because he failed to respond to the flashing lights but then the driver soon stopped when he heard the siren so the trooper was shocked to find the

family in abundance in numbers during the day the water will look discolored this reddish or brownish phenomenon is known as a red tide and at night since it's bioluminescence this of course is blue light illuminates in the waves the reason behind this beautiful scientists actually a means of survival for these microorganisms if a predator attempts to grab the organisms the force of the grab activates the bioluminescence the light is then used to scare off startle the predator take a look at this video posted to twitter you can see dolphins glowing as they swim off the coast of san diego as they splash into the water you can see this battle them in essence happening in real time here is another group of dolphins swimming through the waters of newport lighting up the ocean researchers at the scripps institute at u.c. san diego say while scientists have been studying these events for some 120 years the one happening right now is significant and there's. at least

a couple of dozen major events this one is pretty spectacular it extends from baja california all the way up into the los angeles region and this red tide in southern california is not the toxic type found in other parts of the world scientists say it's common for people to swim or even surf the waves now scientists say they've been documenting these events since the early 1900 but they still can't predict when or how long these sea sparkles will last so of course locals are taking advantage of the sights while they can. reporting in her most obese to talk to sweets are. all right let's head over to regina ham over at the sports h.q. there seems to be a new spore brewing in competitors can compete from their own homes what is this d.i.y. sports these are current of ours because many athletic competitions are postponed or canceled by the world athletics governing body due to the pandemic but now due to the competition is springing up it all competitors need is

a round robin format followed by the knockout decider among the top 4 players in the standings the decider is a 5 years as for armageddon in the 1st 2 games i found a tough opponent nakamura was actually quickly a specialist came forward to head to head but carlsen held to a draw to retain his title he pockets a cool $70000.00 as the winner of the 2 week tournament and we love our chess here darts here we have some notable names among our ranks who are pretty killer at it i know i can remember you are right thank you for that regina now before we go let's remind you real quickly about our brand you really. app is called portable t.v. you can go download it from your google play store apple app store watch all of our shows 24 seventh's so that's it for now i am now watch and i'll catch you back here .
