hello there i'm here in front like you're watching and question broadcasting from our to america's national headquarters here in washington d.c. we want to welcome our viewers from across the nation and around the world here are today's top stories we're working on for you new york state leaders are coming under fire as researchers now claim that their delayed response to the virus as the reason it spread so fast to other states this is more children are hospitalized with rare symptoms that could be linked to cope at 19 plus as the pandemic continues to grip the world tensions between the u.s. and china continue to ramp up leaving many wondering if we're sliding into a new cold war details next then israel's top court rules prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is still facing corruption charges mind you can form

a new government with his main challenger meantime israelis take to the streets in protest we're going to discuss that all right sit tight as i'm a booster news i.q. . the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold worldwide there are now 3700000 cases 264000 deaths now here in the u.s. alone still leading the way with 1200000 cases and 73000 deaths and in the in the virus stricken state of new york officials are now reporting an unexpected spike in their death toll reaching nearly 1000 just in a day now totaling more than 25000 in that state alone and there is also a mysterious illness found in children who have tested positive for cold at 19 that leaves doctors scrambling for an answer for more on this we turn our tease trinity charges from new york. today an urgent new warning about kids and coated 19

dozens of children falling ill across the country from a rare illness officials are calling pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome new york state department of health confirming at least 64 suspected cases in the state most of the children testing positive for corona virus or virus in 2 bodies sparking new concern the 2 illnesses may be linked that certainty. that comes with a disease that still is not fully understood by the global medical community. a disease that we all wonder about in terms of our own personal lives the rare but serious injury which inflammation affects the heart and other organs can send the body into a state of shock common symptoms include fever rash abdominal pain vomiting and red or irritated eyes the illness leaving so many questions unanswered parents to pay attention so when they see the symptoms reach out to their doctors early because the most important thing in this situation here again is not only diagnosing it

early. in the appropriate treatment early this is new york officials reported an unexpected spike of nearly a 1000 deaths on wednesday following a change of reporting since the state normally updates its code in 1000 tracker by early afternoon each day the new information didn't come in until after 8 pm missing the deadline the death toll was more than 4 times higher than the 232 daily fatalities announced earlier that day meantime many new york leaders under fire as researchers claim their delayed response to cope with 19 helped spread the deadly virus throughout the u.s. the west and we have to take from this as not only new yorkers but as americans our nation wasn't in position in terms of testing and we have never let that happen again the findings which are drawn from geneticists tracking signature mutations of the virus travel histories of infected people and models by infectious disease experts suggest the virus quickly swept from new york city through much of the

country before the city began putting social distancing measures in place helping fuel outbreaks in louisiana texas arizona and the west coast nathan group when epidemiologist at yale school of public health told the new york times we now have enough data to feel pretty confident that new york was the primary gateway for the rest of the country new york city quickly becoming the epicenter of the outbreak accounting for rough. 30 percent of infections in the whole country makeshift morgues in freezer trucks filling the city streets new york's brooklyn pier which usually hosts live music shows a ferry terminal and shipping warehouses is now who's doing a fleet of refrigerator more trucks filled with thousands of dead from the coronavirus pandemic reporting in new york trinity charges r t. tensions between the united states and china are on the rise creating concern that it could be the start of a new cold war and many likely eliminate progress on a trade deal the artes rachel blevins joins me now to discuss all of these details

so rachel we can only imagine this escalation has been fueled by the global covert 19 pandemic and the origins of it all right that's exactly right and you know right now the united states and china were supposed to be in the process of finalizing phase 2 of this massive trade deal but instead president trump is questioning whether china is fulfilling the agreements it made on phase one and so because of this he is saying that he is now planning to start talking to farmers to question whether those agreements are being fulfilled and as a result of that he could decide to terminate the deal altogether and that could mean more tariffs on china now trump of course was asked about this and here's what he had to say about whether or not china is fulfilling its end of the trade deal. do you know hopefully they're going to keep the deal we'll see they may they may not going to find. now the state department has also confirmed that the u.s. is in the process of turbocharging its plan to become even less reliant on china

when it comes to their manufacturing supply so there are a lot of moving parts there are so rachel how is china then responded to the latest comments that are from the u.s. what china has denied any accusations that it was withholding information about the current virus in order to hoard hoard medical supplies and we've also heard some comments from secretary of state. claiming that this virus may have originated from a lab in will hon and in response to that a spokesperson for china's foreign ministry said that we've heard conflicting stories from pompei are because he can't keep his story straight and he is quote making up lies take a listen to what she had to say. the reason why he made such self-contradictory comments is because he has been making up and covering up a lie by fabricating more lies that is an open secret already it is not only a war between humankind and virus but also a war between truth and lies on the shifting the blame will not solve the problem or the lives lost we sincerely regret more of the lives lost in the united states.

now china is also calling for the us to present any evidence that it has of where this virus came from and they are accusing washington of trying to shift the blame in order to take away from the way that the u.s. has responded to this virus interesting now is there any sign of the u.s. backing down or changing their approach to all of this not at the moment the trumpet ministrations seems to be doubling down and might prompt said that they will likely continue with these high tensions until they get the information that they are looking for from china which includes about the origins of the virus and patients 0 take a listen to what he had to say. so they will america's bullying. demanding of them only what we demand of every nation be transparent be open be a reliable partner the very things they say the chinese say they want. cooperate great cooperation is about action. opening up it's about sharing this information so the details of we're patient 0 where this began are things that are knowledge

that's in the position of only the chinese communist party now there are reports that trade representatives from the u.s. and china could be holding talks on the phone as early as next week but if this current rhetoric continues over the coronavirus there are a lot of concerns about how it will impact the 2 countries and if it could lead to a new cold war all right robins on the story for us rachel thanks so much for that report thank you. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu formally wins the support of a majority of lawmakers to lead a new government paving the way for a controversial power sharing deal with rival turned partner that he gets now the vote comes a day after israel supreme court ruled that it would not intervene in the new arrangement or prevent yahoo from leading the government despite a corruption indictment against him so for more on this i am joined by former m.p. george galloway george great to see you again so 1st things 1st it was interesting because you have israelis out protesting netanyahu and still practicing social

distancing while they're doing it but then you also have a little bit of like what we see in the united states where you have loyal supporters like for donald trump will supporters of benjamin netanyahu as well. yes it was a very impressive sight the social distancing demonstration matter of fact it makes it look much more massive than it actually was a bit fool marks to those who turned out very brave people do your points of mr netanyahu in israel it's a very difficult place to be dissident to be an opposition it should be acknowledged fault on the there's no country in the region and maybe no country in the world of the sort regularly prosecutes its own political leaders even sending presidents and prime ministers to jail so we should acknowledge and and respect that but the decision by the supreme court was well surprising to say the least

because we now have a man who will be the prime minister of israel whilst being tried on corruption indictments he and his wife indicted on very serious charges of corruption whilst in office no they are not many jobs in the world where you get to keep doing the job while you're actually on trial for corrupt practices whilst in the job and that's what we now have that can't be stable situation for israel and therefore for the world because so much of our stability in the world is dependent on the situation there in palestine and george you know you mentioned netanyahu he is is he is facing trial and actually is going to be coming up here in a couple of weeks may 24th on those charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust he denies any wrongdoing of course but george be that as it may be he still has strong

numbers in israel is there a strong possibility that he faces trial and is found not guilty can the new knesset actual majority shift in his political favor do you think. well of course it's possible i don't know the details of the indictment if the indictment would have been brought unless the prosecutors were pretty secure in their knowledge but you're right it's as if israel can't imagine itself without netanyahu at the helm and it's certainly true that need to know can't imagine himself without being at the helm but just imagine if these found guilty he'll be sent to prison while serving as the prime minister of israel and it's difficult to see why all the eggs are put in his boss kit after all his opposition know his number 2 benny gantz is no less hawkish than him he's no more parole peace than him

he's got a war record every bit as the as netanyahu as you would think the israelis would feel fairly confident about having its affairs in the hands of benny gantz because not really very much would be different so it's a bit peculiar in. that are people watching this who have never known israel with any of them leader except benyam and netanyahu about support do remarkable thing in a place as politically volatile as the state of israel now george israel seems to have gotten past kind of their 1st major wave of the coronavirus and is now emerging from the shutdown of nearly 2 months so now that politics and public health are no longer top of the agenda pretty interesting and opinion piece that i read saying that it's time to get back to the israel palestine conflict where israel is finally going to annex major parts of the west bank but some say it's never going to happen since netanyahu as you mentioned has served for 14 years now

and he's done nothing on the ground to prep for it what say you. well it all depends on your president and your secretary of state no promptly or said just a days ago all the annexation of the west bank was a matter for israel alone and that's of course not true factually because this is a matter of international law it's covered by the oslo agreements signed on your own lawn your own white house it's a martyr for the camp david accords also signed on the lawn so it isn't actually true that this is purely a matter for israel but israel proceeds on the basis of theater complete accomplishes the fact it does it it doesn't wait for other peoples are probation certainly doesn't wait for the law it just takes over and consolidate its power on

that land it's done it in jerusalem it's done in the golan heights now it appears it's about to do it in the west bank of course if an american president definitively said no you will not be allowed to do that then they wouldn't be able to do it because israel floats on a sea of u.s. dollars and military and political support but ask yourself if janet cushion are and donald trump and mike pompei or of the likely people to be saying no to mr netanyahu i myself don't think so i'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds former m.p. george galloway george as always thank you so much. here in washington a senate committee is holding a hearing with top health officials to talk about the state of coronavirus testing state slowly reopen this month experts say testing is crucial in preventing another wave of infections plans for accurate and easy to use tests are in the works and could be available by the end of the summer so far the u.s.

has run more than $7000000.00 tests the f.d.a. is putting out a warning stop taking zantac but why is there a massive recall of this medication rick sanchez joins me next to discuss and in sports regina hampshire is a tight game from the korean baseball organization stay close or back into. yes doing down on the witch is dead warren buffett extortionist private equity job is recorded game changing record breaking losses as berkshire hathaway is holding company goes belly up.

is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation little community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true. is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. so join us in the depth. for a mate in the shallows. below. the world is driven by shaped by our own personal those but.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. all right so check your medicine cabinet because the f.d.a. is telling you to throw this out there and tack why well for more on that we go to my friend and colleague host of the news with rick sanchez rick sanchez rick it's

doing more than helping with the heartburn. can you imagine i mean it's interesting to be able to just look at a camera and say something like this but the fact of the matter is this is what i must say according to what the f.d.a. is telling me to tell you right now stop taking zantac stop do not take the zantac anymore and if you have zantac in your home right now find it and get rid of it this is what they're saying to probably low estimate 60000 pardon me 60000000 americans who take it according to one study it could be as many as of 3rd of all americans who have heartburn and take some kind of medication many of which say well they take different medications. $16000000.00 americans say that they have heartburn daily which means they take

a medication for it every single day just to be able to deal with this sort of mean that this is no matter how you look at it no matter how you break this down this is a very important story that we're sharing right now if we were not going through the coronavirus situation this would no likely be the biggest story that everyone would be talking about that's just how much this drug this this medication is used so here's where it all starts so back in 2019 ferran they did this study where they started to see low levels of something called n d m a it's a carcinogen it's a cancer causing age. and they found that that existed and as a result of that they started asking for voluntary recalls and some warnings then last month just about 30 days ago they looked further and there was another test and found there were really much more unsafe levels. and this is interesting the

longer it sits right the worse it gets the most the more cancer causing agents come out in the medication also if you keep it in the heat if you keep it in the and in a place where it's exposed to heat again there is a more cancerous agent that arrives so the f.d.a. has now come out and they've asked us to tell you this stop taking it get rid of it in fact listen to this they're saying it's so bad that they don't want you to just throw it away because they're afraid if you throw it away it's going to end up in our water supply and then it's there's going to be a carcinogen in the in the environment don't throw it away by putting it in the trash they say the best way to get rid of it is to take it back to a form a c. and tell your pharmacist to try and get rid of it. and of course take something else i mean you know there's. there's pepcid nexium prednisone as far as we know none of those contain some of these agents ferrand now rick you know one of the

things and you actually are in the medical field as well as being an excellent journalist but one of the things that when you have these recalls you have them down the line lawsuits. yeah. what do you know about that little fun fact there. it's already happening as a matter of fact there are least several complaints and lawsuits and they're not only complaining about apparently carcinogens the lawsuits have already started they started about 5 years ago people complaining about damaged livers damaged bladder and cancer concerns because of that novartis sandoz and. these are the big pharmaceutical companies that have already pulled this from the shelves but because it wasn't required as it is today and now many other of the drug makers didn't pull it a little history by the way why has it taken so long for this to happen well glaxo started testing in 1980 s.

glaxo is the company that originally that originated this drug they did studies they found some problems critics scientists say they really found more problems they should have reported they didn't they're complaining that they didn't that they discarded a lot of the stomach contents in the tests and that's why they're saying that this is something that should have been caught a long time ago and there may have been some carelessness glaxo for their part said look we did what the f.d.a. wanted us to do we tested it in rodents and mice and there was no carcinogens found in the mice so look fair argument both ways the fact of the matter is right now the f.d.a. is saying again stop taking it get rid of it all right rick sanchez host of the news with rick sanchez my friend and colleague great to see you thanks so much for that report thanks very savvy your father who happens to be a doctor i will i will i want the american mercenaries captured after a failed attempt to overthrow venezuela's nicolas maduro claims that he was on

a mission to seize control of the country's main airport in order to abducted leader now luke denman was one of the 2 u.s. citizen seized by that as well and security forces this week in the overthrow attempts now in a video from venezuela he details some of the plot with here. now it is unclear whether his confession reveals accurately the facts of that plot was a super flower moon shone brightly in many parts of the world last night it was filmed by many spectators from santiago chile to berlin germany and the super flower moon is a phenomenon which occurs when the moon is located on the opposite side of earth to
