12:30 pm
has dropped and personally. gobsmacked i don't know why but i am i shouldn't be but that's the way it is what's going on say to max not only has the havening or the having just happened this is a very important event had only happened 2 other times previously and big point history now we have the having of the block reward we're going to get into that in the 2nd half a dent held but here we have of course the having so that's the hardening of money the hardening of the people's money in a time of hyper softening of money and infinite fia it and who steps into the rink into the bitcoin rink with all of the arguments that we've been making for the past 09 years about bitcoin here on this show well paul tudor jones buys the queen with reminder of gold in 1970 s. maclin besser paul tudor jones is buying big coin as a hedge against inflation he sees coming from central bank money printing telling
12:31 pm
clients every mind him of the role gold played in the 1970 s. he says quote the best profit maximizing strategy is to own the fastest horse this is incredibly big news paul tudor jones is a seminal figure in the hedge fund industry in the money man and man industry going back to the early 1980 s. even before and he's got about $40000000000.00 he's got a position now and big coin in the low single digits we know that typically his style is to scale into a position so i expect him to be 5 or 10 percent of that plus he is the ultimate alpha dog in the big coin space which he does every one of those $10000.00 head phones out there will follow to some degree so now bitcoin is officially on the map the same at the same time that warren buffett kind of exit stage left everything that's old and not working anymore like warren is off the stage and for paul tudor jones this. come full circle because when i started my career on wall street the
12:32 pm
early 1980 s. walter jones was kind of the king of wall street at the time the invented this idea of the lone gunslinging hedge fund moving markets up until then the hedge fund industry was somewhat behind the scenes a quiet not many people knew about it of course george soros and jim rogers had started the quantum fund very famous but jim rogers invented the idea really of the gunslinger who can come in a move markets and there's a great video of him on you tube if people do a search of him back in the early 1980 s. it's just him in his office with maybe 2 or 3 screens or quote trons is raised to call them and protecting on the world and winning no no no quantum physics just him and his brain and the world yes a single low single digit percentage of his assets isn't big quine futures that's one of the biggest hedge funds to get involved openly anyway so many behind the
12:33 pm
scenes might be involved they claim but this is again you know it's just low single digits his portfolio but it's a mammoth portfolio so this is a sort of money that we've been saying since 20112012 i think you can find out onto the move in our series where old clips of our show where you saying that once the hedge fund money comes in you were talking about this with barry silbert for example you know this is this is going to be a game changer and the reason why is because of what we've been covering here for the past 10 years as well is that this thing will implode all of this money printing all the fi out printing all the softening of money and it gets softer and softer well that's going to all blow up and by his calculation $3.00 trillion dollars of money the equivalent of 6.6 percent of global economic output has been printed since february quote it has happened globally with such speed that even a market veteran like myself was left speechless jones 65 wrote we are witnessing the great monetary. inflation and unprecedented expansion of every form of money
12:34 pm
unlike anything the developed world has ever seen any made the perfect comment he made one comment one sentence that is the most intelligent thing anyone even in the big coin space has said simply that bitcoin now reminds him of gold in the seventy's yes ok what does that mean well gold one from $35.00 to $800.00 he's buying bitcoin in the $8.00 to $9000.00 range that would be equivalent to buying gold at $35.00 an ounce that's true because just as gold made a $45060.00 x. return so will because i remember my target was raised 100-002-4000 extension 048 big coin a couple of months ago based on its equivalency to gold as i stated implicitly at that time now polter to jones or p t j p t j as he's down to the digerati and the illuminati not really b.j. lycopene but i don't like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right he now has put
12:35 pm
a stake in the ground and said look i'm going to be rallying and he would be saying this is unless he was ready to pull the trigger in a big way and so this is the beginning that massive run 210-0000 beyond this is now the beginning i think a lot of people's faces are going to get ripped off. just just torn right off their face peter schiff obviously it's got a massive this going to have to explain to his clients over there europe what the heck he's been talking about up there we go this also importantly comes just days after or in buffet went on to stage on his own and the sad spectacle of betting against america by accumulating $138000000000.00 in cash or $137000000000.00 in cash finding nothing worth investing in and he's just too filled with pride to admit not only did he get gold the wrong and bitcoin wrong but he doesn't even have the ability to understand the market. as it is even the market as it is warren
12:36 pm
buffett made mention of the fact the same fact that paul tudor jones just made there of the fed printing so fast and that this is never been done and modern history and therefore he's looking to the seventy's and what gold did as a protection against that warren buffett identified that same thing that this is unprecedented and just took his toys out of the market and went away because he doesn't know how to even play he's he's too scared perhaps to even go along that corner gold but where this is going in terms of the the great. softening of its hyper softening events we see going on here's jeffrey going to lock these trillions treasury is borrowing is heavily in t. bills chairman powell has stated in plain english he is opposed to negative interest rates yet the pressure to go negative on fed funds will build a short term borrowing explodes and dominates please no rates less than 0 equals fatal what we're talking about here is paul tudor jones when you talk about
12:37 pm
the seventy's and gold the u.s. went bankrupt in 1971 when they failed to pay their international debts in gold as the contracts originally had stated they just paid them back and what they're saying now if the u.s. goes negative on interest rates and jay powell is saying he won't do that but he's been forced by the market to that that's the end of even the fee up world so who knows what happens it's going to have to return to something else right negative rights are coming and a lot of people say well you can't go negative on the world reserve currency they also said you could ever print a negative oil futures contract and said you could never print and negative interest rate on a sovereign bond that's already happened and think about warren buffett for a 2nd i mean i pity them at this point because he says he doesn't like stocks and he's hiding out in cash but his cash is about to go negative returns from negative interest rate on his cash that's going to be losing money on his cash pretty soon and he said i would never own gold and i would never own bickley so the. ligi life
12:38 pm
boats for warren buffett at this point are golden decline and he's out of pride he's going to stick on his negative interest rate cash and he won't buy stocks so he's already underperformed the s. and p. for 15 years she's going to end up his career as basically a glorified money market that was a round trip to nowhere that everyone will just forget about as the hardening happens as you have gold and bitcoin rise in price and harden and price and hard in the quality of money that it is for the ordinary person you see a lot of scam stores emerge so you see all these people pretending to be max kaiser for example on twitter and people are following this fake max kaiser and then there he sends a message is asking for bitcoin that's a common scam that happens in big kind in the hardening of money you see the hardening when when you see same in gold in the gold market penny stocks sort of
12:39 pm
pump and dump emerge there but with the softening of money you also see this sort of the explosion and scam stores as well because the the free money from the fed feed so many of these people so i want to look at this headline here about private equity and those very well connected these guys k.k. are blackstone carlyle group all these massive private equity funds that tend to hire a lot of former secretaries of state a former presidents and vice presidents so they have a lot of those sort of people on their board as a record number of companies fall into the lowest rungs of junk moody's finds that the bulk of them are backed by private equity companies so why is fiat's why is the u.s. dollar becoming so soft and junky itself because this latest round jay powell who doesn't want to go negative right he's bailing out the junk bond market that this is the 1st time in. knowingly out in the open that the fed is doing that right well
12:40 pm
private equity as a term is a rebranding of what when paul tudor jones was active on wall street in the eighty's and early making his bones we used to call green mail always to call hostile raid. and a big got a negative terminology the movie wall street came out and michael douglas played a corporate raider and you know they say and i was you need to reprint the corporate rating so it's caught you know private equity and of course a mitt romney out of being capital cherokees also private equity asset stripper that was also a term used frequently to describe what's going on here so private equity is the new softer version of what is essentially asset stripping or a leveraged buyout fund and so leveraged buyout fund is the fund like mitt romney's bain capital what pledge the assets of the company they want to acquire as collateral for a loan and then they take that loan they buy the company split it pay back the loan
12:41 pm
and what's ever left over they keep and $1.00 of the most prized objects of a leveraged buyout is the pension fund so for 203035 years now these assets trippers the private equity guys have been acquiring huge corporations with borrowed money and then dissolving the pension fund and firing a lot of people and they raid the pension fund in this way and they steal people's pension and then the fed comes in and hits them again by lowering interest rates to make it possible to acquire a borrow the money to create the hostile raid and now on the money left over you can't get anything in a bank account because 0 percent is not common on a money market account right so that's the private equity game but it essentially transfers debt for equity you take a viable corporation with profits and revenues and pension and savings you strip it and you load it with an incredible amount of debt and now when you can't pay that debt it should go bankrupt because it's the legal. form of market manipulation and
12:42 pm
profiteering that should not be allowed but was allowed to grow and you give it a huge federal bailout to make whole the asset strippers by the way that is why we are at the point where jay powell is bailing out junk around the world and in the united states especially because the junk the cation of the american financial and economic system was due to the private equity model back in the seventy's and eighty's that 1st started hollowing out a company hollowing out the balance sheet and leaving just a carcass that's the warren buffett model that's out paul tudor jones. gold is the future right juan buffett mitt romney out paul tudor jones and are you going to take a break the back much more coming your way. the world is driven by dream shaped.
12:43 pm
thinks. we dare to ask. about is the. least. that we're operation in dying water some of the wealthier neighborhoods it's been far more contained and the numbers are much lower than some of them or a neighborhood. start to see if anything we're working with can source outside of state. because there just so 'd if you're so like anything out of this.
12:44 pm
we go to work so you stay home. from a clue. welcome
12:45 pm
back to the report imax keyser time now to turn to dan held over there a crack in full disclosure stacey and i are both early investors and crack and jam held welcome finally to the kaiser report x. thanks for having me on have been looking forward to this as this airs the bit coy having is either happening or has just happened we are pretty recording this so we won't know the actual price or hash trade response exciter but what do you predict for some of this short and medium term consequences of the having right now this has been is very very special compared to the previous happens that occurred in 2016 in 2012 with this have been we have the macro backdrop of global financial crisis i mean you have probably the worst financial crisis in over 100 years and so dick win this time you know between a special purpose built to be a new sound money and new gold or no and so that message resonates really really
12:46 pm
loudly with a sort of macro backdrop so you know for the short to medium term i think we're seeing a lot of we're seeing a lot of investor appetite for this new asset we had paul tudor jones today announced that he's allocated low single digits of his fund 80 women into becoming which is a huge social validation metric for this asset so i think the big crying word you know is right now it's on the verge of $10000.00 i think it's a perfect setup for a big bowl run i've been in for a long time i know you have to me been around since i was a dollar 10 dollars and to see it at $10000.00 is use incredible it's revives on but i think the best is yet to come let's talk about politics counts for a 2nd so up until now we've either had made some economists like nouri al rabbani paul krugman trash talk but coined we've had most people in the gold. sector kind of trash talk bitcoin couple of wall street people like peter schiff have come out
12:47 pm
and he's been trash talking bitcoin one guy that is a wall street or a hedge fund there. you know a couple of them have come forward and they have done they've dabbled in big but we've never had wall street royalty like paul tudor jones who virtually reinvented the hedge fund in the early 1900 $86.00 step forward and say this is going to be the fastest horse in the race as we revisit inflation due to this massive money printing and as you point out big corning was purpose built to handle quantitative easing and irresponsible central bankers with the hardening which is another way to say the having would you agree with all that absolutely if you know as you re single government and central bank across the world is doing the quantity of using we've got quantitative hardening happening with big. for those who don't know is the moment when because i know it's issuance reagan so the newly minted big. house
12:48 pm
which is coming up here very shortly on the 11th or 12th and this is a monument just moment because that brings because. lower than the u.s. dollar in gold now that is a little bit you know for those who might be ok to some exactly correct a little bit of nuance whether to call the inflation rate or issuance rate the trend is your friend as they say in money management business i stick on paul tudor jones a little bit he said this is like buying gold in the 1970 s. so gold of course made a move from $35.00 an ounce to $800.00 an ounce you could extrapolate from that statement that he thinks that big corn at 9 or $10000.00 or higher a coin is like buying gold at $35.00 an ounce so he's looking for a 40 x. return that would take us into the $400000.00 down which would give it a market cap in the multi-trillions that would be a para pursue with gold and i think that's where we're going in other words let me . asked us to his statement is it's the fastest horse in the race on the reflation trade so why isn't he buying gold because for every dollar in price appreciation of
12:49 pm
gold you get $35.00 to $40.00 of appreciation a big point dan what do you think your coins return per unit of risk is phenomenal this asset was really tiny you know the market cap is miniscule right on the market around 180000000000 this is tiny compared to cold indeed coin used to find is gold 2.0 i'm so. very much will be a contender for gold once it hits $100000.00 to $400000.00 that's not necessarily what i'm calling the top that makes it just a contender a new world renowned or will recognize. so we're very you know very much in the early stages of that option now let's move over to some other major news that hit the tape recently iran is now getting in on the bitcoin mining game ukraine is also indicated interest in mining so let's give a big picture here because within the protocol as it was birthed that the genesis
12:50 pm
bloc january 3rd 2009 was game theory baked into the protocols cake and it played out in the mining business we saw the mining sphere of mining influence jump around the world from eastern europe to china to iceland and it seems to this game theory plays out in the mining sector it plays out in the whale sector you know certain people or accumulate are not accumulating the kind of playing a game with each other there's a certain game theory but that game theory baked into the big protocols doubt jump to the nation state level with iran ukraine who have been squeezed out of the forex market because the us dollar is sensor a ball the us dollar is confiscate all these are things that you don't find a big going is the fact you've got nation states now dragged into the big point gay . fairy going to be in a pocket of event in your view also dan between game theory essentially dictates
12:51 pm
that you know every single state right now kind of bows down to the dollar the dollars the world reserve currency out there you know and with the quiet now now we have an incentive for people to become confederates to break away from that global standard adopt this new what ones that were previously pushed out of the you know sort of control that the u.s. had over them or control or really you know the u.s. financial system so you know with because when we now have an option for these nations day so then go take a big point stand you're going to have that be aired their currency or are that there are a few. in the incentive is that if they get in early there's a priest appreciation of facts who are if they get in early the course appreciates now a small country like you crazy could be enormously wealthy and so these are really really interesting game theoretic plays here you know big holding as i like to put it a coin is just code that that enables game theory to work the way the different participants in the big crime network are incentivized now because it has grown as large
12:52 pm
a benefactor of interior baked into the code along with the toshi playing as a very basic human assumptions like humans will be greedy and so i think they're going as well positioned and this is sort of the you know for those who watch game of thrones this is this is kind of like the final game this is the this is the chair you want to sit on and becoming has made it to that final and i think it's incredibly not waited 8 years to see this moment so i think it's going to be a wager essays that come out often and that date that well thought out there well researched and you have really dug and to some of the nuances of decline of the protocol i want to ask you this question however to wake there is what's called the difficulty adjustment and this seems to be the big quiet protocol and kind of almost as some would describe it as a living organism in other words it's the ante for. agile and a lot of ways and if it is
12:53 pm
a managing to. a call k. itself within the global economy by some very interesting technology within is this i just want to question if it difficult the adjustment and i know people have been right writing about this i think maybe even you wrote about this does it equate to some degree to a living organize a living organism damn yes so i wrote a series called claims in decline or big points origin story that soto she's brilliance wasn't just in this species of new money that he chose to ask but he was the season this well regarded techniques and so when we look at crime and we look at some classical definitions over what you know what would he organism is there are some interesting characteristics in terms of adjusting energy and reacting to that in just a dingy because according miners in just electricity yeah through crucial work they used to enable the recurring botching to function that this kind of loss you know her a lot of the technical stuff but just for suppose. and big one reacts to external factors so it does that you react it has stimulus to you know it. reacts to changes
12:54 pm
that happen to it it also attacks sort of all because code isn't static it does change over time to enable new features and new functionality there's a really interesting term to keep the brain in quidam came up with which is called i don't think it came up this term but he made me aware of it called horizontal gene transfer so funny guy right actually able to ingest the d.n.a. of other organisms and splice that into their own and so the current does that according to takes d.n.a. or code snippets or different feature sets that are advantageous for survival as a money and you can take that from other learnings of other crypto assets or less and you can modify itself to survive so you know because it is sort of he x. creditor money just like you say think lobel economy and financial markets and forex markets being transformed by the presence of this hardest money ever and. and in history we also see a incredible disruption in the energy markets right now and getting back to this
12:55 pm
nation state question what if a country like iran says you know what we're going to dedicate huge state resources and move them from energy extraction to mining back calling because we could be going from a petro dollar world system to a big coin currency a world system is that a possibility yeah this is where you get super interesting because nation states typically are the ones who. go forth and do really big projects like solar hydroelectric cetera and for them they've got just pretty much risky sources that are sometimes left on taps so what do you do with all that free your very very cheap electricity and you can get coins that and with that you can now make your own money that is a sovereign money that no one else can touch the united states or russia or china they can influence and you can take that money epic warning and you're able to use it whatever fashion likes of it does give the states who have energy resources to help them exit you know u.s.
12:56 pm
as you are there over the world i mentioned system so let me get your comment on this show or false and then you can speak on it big cohen separates the state from money them true that is the exact purpose as it so she built this for as he says the core problem a central banks in banks are bet they require trust to work we must trust that central banks will not print more money we have to trust the banks will lend out money too much you know too much of a too little fractional reserve requiring resets all that and big point is the new money that is trust us it is require you to trust anyone else let's say the u.s. gangs up on decline or they get the u.s. and great britain and some other countries decided gang up on britain and they decide they want to control bitcoin but is the truth that that would only make the halfrek go higher which would make the security aspect of it increase which would make it more valuable as a safe haven which would drive the price higher and that it's a lose lose game for that dan true it is certainly a lose lose situation for. states you can either attack it so that would be trying to disrupt the protocol but by doing that they would recognize that they're scared
12:57 pm
of it which all the see out in the world is basically built on confidence me your confidence in control this would indicate that they're not in control now conversing the scenario that you came up with which is them buying big corner minute yes that does increase the current security so by participating or money never buy and are trying to control it essentially boost security which makes it harder and harder to attacks or to empty fractional networks are awesome than hell thanks for being on the kaiser report thanks for having me max well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert want to thank our guest dan held of crack and that's dan held h.e.l. day and i want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report that i buy a. little
12:58 pm
it's. easy to. get the you mean you think you can only take you to quote we just told you if you could get. it to call someone's nigella's content is what you want. them to sure. this is. just a cute. new clue to you there's a little on the slow. little turtle so you claim. to decouple the. book money and come begging for many miles to get things sorted to do your job or. not they. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll. speaking to get a feel of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see of and.
12:59 pm
good food descriptions sound up even for the owners so how to choose his pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be a sofa the best people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they catch allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple problem of diet and some dog orders so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making
1:00 pm
a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. welcoming of us from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . british chancellor richie sumac announces the government's job retention scheme is to be extended until october with businesses to share the financial burden that says the u.k. business secretary says it's now up to employers to make sure their workplace is move it secure. the kremlin spokes person to meet to discuss all the tests positive for corona virus becoming the latest top official in russia to catch the disease we get reaction from moscow. the public is advised to wear face coverings in crowded places and on public transport as many prepare to return to work. in the service
1:01 pm
more than 480000 parents sun a petition calling on the british government to give parents the choice to keep children at home when some school classes reopen next month we hear from the head teacher. the british government has extended its job retention scheme for a further 4 months with the chancellor revealing that companies will also pick up a share of the bill that says the business secretary says the burden is on businesses to make sure their workplaces are safe i'll take a shot it was daschle joins me now with the laces so shadi of the chancellor didn't really give us any real detail on this well he didn't exactly give too much detail but what he did do is offer a lifeline to the over 7500000 people who are currently being supported by the government's fund a scheme or not recounts are essentially dead is extend the government's job
1:02 pm
protection scheme by 4 months till the end of october by that point means the government would have stepped in for 8 months until the end of july and there would be no changes whatsoever. then from all goes to october the scheme will continue for all sectors and regions of the u.k. but with greater flexibility to support the transition back to work employers currently using the scheme will be able to bring furloughed employees back part time. and we will ask employers to start sharing with the government the cost of paying people salaries full details will follow by the end of may but i want to assure people today of one thing that won't change. workers will through the combined efforts of government and employers continue to receive the same level of
1:03 pm
overall support as they do now now initially there was much talk of a thorough skin pay cut whereby the government would only provide 60 percent of his salary that is now not the case where she soon after chance are confirming that still the government would be providing 80 percent of that service came up to the sum of 2500 pounds but by the way it is costing the government a huge sum of money around the $10000000000.00 pounds mark every single month to ensure this scheme goes ahead so now there seems to be a slight change and update to the scheme whereby the government wants to share the cost with private companies to try and lessen the burden on the government itself other changes or to try and make the system more flexible so that people can on the one hand use a photo scheme but try and go and transition back into the work space even on a part time basis from july it's all part of course of the government's plan of get britain moving once again and boris johnson the prime minister's lockdown measures
1:04 pm
his trying to put forth that exit strategy just over the last few days and this scheme comes under that yes a though it sounded very much like from downing street they wanted to get as many people back into work as early as tomorrow having said that there was huge criticisms that there won't be enough time to make sure that the workplace is safe enough to do so that's something that alex sharma the business secretary touched on just earlier today at the daily press briefing and he says it's a duty of the employers to make sure the workplace is safe if an employee feels unsafe they should talk to their employer and if that doesn't produce a result they should of course contact the health and safety executive or indeed the local authority and we have made sure that we are providing additional funding to the agency for precisely that reason. and as promised yesterday the government has now published their workplace guidelines for keeping the up place secure it includes asking employers to put up screens or barriers between employees in order
1:05 pm
to keep them separated in the workplace it also advises that workers be placed into fixed teams or workplace partnerships so that each employee only physically works with a reduced amount of people at any one time a back to back or side to side desk arrangement is also recommended in the office in order to avoid people sitting face to face and the government continues to recommend frequent hand washing as well as cleaning the office environment and what about the district as well according to the official government think as over the last 24 hours there has been a leap of $627.00 deaths a jump back up to the higher levels we've seen taking the total now to 32000 $692.00 deaths across the united kingdom since a pandemic broke out but there are concerns that the figure could be a lot higher even around the $40000.00 mark according to the office for national statistics that would mean that the united kingdom is not only the worst in europe
1:06 pm
affected by 19 but by far the worst affected across the region now the oven s. is methodology is somewhat different to the way the government handles and collate sees data because with the ins it's only when covert 19 is mentioned in the death certificates so the onus data shows that in the weeks leading up to may the 1st there were over 8000 excess deaths in england and wales if we look at the total number since the outbreak began we can see that there have been over $46000.00 deaths in england and wales this year and in relation to care home specifically since the beginning of the outbreak there have been over 8000 care home deaths where kovac 1000 was mentioned on the death certificate but despite the concerns over the care home epidemic this week's death toll in care homes is actually down from the previous week by just under $1000.00 but the extra level of deaths has declined for a 2nd week running in general which indicates that the lockdown measures seem to be
1:07 pm
working thanks so much for let's show you. the government has advised the public to wear face coverings in crowded places as more and more prepared to go back to work as the transport secretary encourages people to make their own. we are not advising medical level p.p. is used but absolutely would go against the public health england advice or rather that the target people should be used to the type that you make at home based on the information which is now only government kate website and shows how to make p.p. either from an old t. shirt. one the reason for that is absolutely critical for medical point of view that we don't withdraw and compete with medical applications for p.p. so people should make their own p.p. which is a face covering covering should be worn where social distancing is difficult such as on public transport and in shops people have also been told to face away from
1:08 pm

1:09 pm
and mouth and holding them back in them in the mask and that's the idea of covering your nose and mouth so that you don't in fact other people in your immediate vicinity and masks can be uncomfortable of course can they so people often touch their faces to adjust them so it perhaps does that pose even more of a danger no but what we need to do is be careful that we have a covering around our mouth and always as believe clearly articulated that hand hygiene is not now secondary because we're burning a mask you continue with your infection control you continue it kind table regular hand washing and when you can't wash your hand you use the hand gel how should we be getting hold of effective mass visit because of course as a huge pressure on the n.h.s. at the moment so can the government advice lead to a shortage in facial protection no i would say this is the time to get fashionable at this very miserable and worrying and depressing dimes so people are very

artistic and very smart so i'm looking forward to very smart very cheerful make me smile dark homemade masks what we want is an observant layer on the inside so it is soaks up all the sea creations and on the outside we wanted to be water repellent and a tight leave to protect things coming your way because sort of the tyranny of talking about them because the government saying you could actually come up a t. shirt and news that you could but on the outside to be truthful i would prefer a more tight weave waterproof type covering rather than just a t. shirt the d. should type it could be on the inside layer. the group of scientists offering the government alternative expert advice on coronaviruses criticize the latest stay alert strategy set up with an alternative to the official scientific advisory group for emergencies and chaired by former government chief scientific advisors of david king the group says that the public needs concrete advice it also says that the

government's plan won't ensure suppression of the epidemic and has criticized the test track and trace policy as misguided well for more on all of this i was joined by the group's chair former chief scientific adviser david king and he told me that phrases like stay alert leave it up to the individual to decide whether they're doing the right thing and that's simply not good enough. i think what what our group of experts were concerned about particularly the behavioral scientists was that the phrases stay alert and control the virus on not only with advice closely linked to action it's almost as if these 2 phrases were chosen so that the members of the public were really left to decide them for themselves what action was meant they were alert and controlling the virus and we feel these are really wrong messages and they ignore the advice from behavioral scientists not
1:12 pm
asking the public to really exercise some sort of commonsense have rather than giving absolute concrete regulation in effect that's exactly what they're criticizing i think that when and when though we see the change from their advice stay at home those 3 words very clearly were telling us what to do whereas these new phrases like stale. control the virus very much parsing it over to the individual to decide if you are alone in controlling the virus what you are doing and i i just think this is a very ineffective way to go way for example the business of washing hands and keeping the tea area of the face clean and not touching it through their hands the eyes the nose in the mouth these are very important things to do to change the behavioral traits of people in managing the separate demick i think we actually

1:17 pm
united states but more importantly than that bill is that it's now clear that the authorities in the u.k. are happy that she did not have diplomatic immunity because you wouldn't serve or circulate a red notice for somebody who has committed a crime and fled but was a real diplomat so the real significance of that is we are a massive step closer to having her because she is a fugitive on the run and you can't have the united states harboring fugitives they really have no choice now she has to come about and she will have to leave the u.s. though rather than have any chance of a rest and then she's not likely to do that on their own volition isha. territory. at the moment but you know this this comes down to donald trump he's the decision maker as we know in washington and at the moment you're right the is refusing to

send her back ultimately we believe we may well need to wait for a more right binded a reasonable president to come into office in washington somebody who believes in upholding the rule of law and we're certain that she would be sent back to. the kremlin spokesman to me to keep this column has been taken to hospital after testing positive for corona virus on his correspondence desk a taina has more. we don't know too much at this stage we can say that he confirmed to himself he said that he's now in hospital and that he's getting treatment is a really familiar face and russia's press secretary he's seen by the russian president's side at the majority of public events he says that the last time he came into contact with the last month was a month ago now this makes him one of the few high profile international figures who have been infected we'll of course remember the u.k. prime minister boris johnson but with specific regards to russian politicians the

prime minister tested positive and doctors say he's now on the road to recovery since then both the construction and cultural ministers have been infected now today actually marks the 1st step towards returning to normal life because often announced yesterday that the country would start shedding lockdown restrictions today cool sectors of the economy like construction agriculture got up and running again and must go alone around hoping 1000000 returned to work this tuesday but that's not to say it's business as usual given how fast russia is that no one set of rules as to how this is going to be done each government various corners of the country let's remember russia has 11 time zones will assess the situation on the ground and decide which restrictions can be eased which need to remain so for example in some siberian cities people if they will come in parks and popping in to reopen to close shops but medicare most of the country's hotspot we've been told to continue south isolating until may thought so the region's going at the pace as

they tried to fire up the economy again want to take all the necessary safety precautions and just as the country started to see perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel a sad story actually broke for life 1000 patients who were being treated in i.c.u. and some people died after a fire broke out that school that the fire was triggered actually by an electrical fault in one of the ventilators but the governor said that the professionalism of the safe about to ration. over 150 people the good news is that the fire has now been put out so really that's just kind of a roundup of what the crate of wires landscape has looked night here in russia today. a group representing fell's and british doctors is started legal proceedings to force a public inquiry into the government's handling of sourcing personal protective equipment doctors association u.k. he says the investigation is necessary to ensure nuff p.p. is available for future waves of the virus it added that the department of health

had a legal obligation to hold an inquiry under the european convention on human rights the group also says families of deceased medical workers need closure. has been recurrent and systemically of the supply chain leading stars in some instances with makeshift all know our action will bring an urgent public inquiry to ensure that lessons are learned and that shanley's we need to ensure that no doctor or health care worker is put in harm's way in. again and the families of frontline health care workers who have died much needed. around $200.00 health care workers have died in britain since the pandemic started with several having voiced concerns over p.p.p. shortages the legal action claims items such as gallons and visors were a midget from a stockpile started over a decade ago it's also questioning why a delayed order of gallons with turkey was mostly defective and more the government refused offers of mosques from private companies the department of health said it
1:22 pm
couldn't comment on any legal action but that it is working to deliver a strategy designed to protect the n.h.s. and save lives a member of the group calling for the investigation dr matt neil he spoke to me earlier and he said that despite the complication of social distancing the government has the resources earned the data to go ahead with hearings. i think it's a forseeable consequence that without a vaccine in place with only a fraction of the population ever been affected so far for the cases where as a social distancing measures are relaxed it's inevitable that will see the case of them is increased with respect to how about future ways will be or when they were this will depend on a multitude of different factors no time will tell but planning your efforts must if you look worst case scenario you think the government's not learned the lessons so far and that it will be acting as soon as it can because obviously for you to carry out an inquiry and obviously without
1:23 pm
a social distancing measures in place it is going to be very difficult to do that properly ineffectively is now so we're confident the resources to carry out ageing agree. timescales of pretty tight but we believe we have to create information and data are very able to do that of course we did mindful of it at such a distance the climate things are difficult at the moment but we've all had to adjust how it work can it doesn't mean that all of us get must crawl into a hole so with the investigation you who are you trying to bring to account obviously we mentioned the debacle with the import of defective protective equipment turkey and also private companies being denied the ability to provide this equipment so he who in effect will be under the spotlight in this inquiry. so it really goes towards the end as a matter of fact could it be that the secretary of health. you know we know from our own data the data bertie's been about drugs kind of make you measure the doppler shift into actually being returned just a few days got titles p.p.a.

1:25 pm
the national education union which backs the parents says schools simply aren't designed to stop the spread of the virus. parents are quite rightly concerned about the risks to their children not just at school but on that daily journeys to and from school this intend threatens the safety of adult in the school community parents families teaches heads and support staff social distancing for younger children will be difficult to achieve and for others there will be the issues of narrow corridors and classrooms that just aren't big enough to allow social distancing parents could be issued a fixed penalty notice if the child has an authorised absence from school an initial penalty of 60 pounds is issued to each parent for each child but it could double if it's not paid within $21.00 days and even result in prosecution if not paid within $28.00 days but the government has said that those rules won't apply to parents who decide not to send the children during the current pandemic. well i was
1:26 pm
joined by had teatro washing academy jason iraq and he told me that the government did not discuss school reopening this with head teachers. to the 1st is that during that given. the bloom. it was only consultation with the. teacher unions only as they do know about this on yes she's going to be a bit of a challenge do you want to go back by then. i don't think it's feasible at co current. as wow we when asked who would enter an assessment today of the space that we have we can probably shave it to meet its social system seem rules about 7 children in a class. we have 40 or children in each of the groups we then will have to look at how we do on a row to see a system. this is no direction to start wearing any p.p.a. the government said that they don't need a pm she interesting saying your previous guest dr adnan he sang about social
1:27 pm
distancing is not possible well it wouldn't be possible within a school setting especially with the younger children as well so it's going to be very much a challenge to try to get these schools to open it for these young children as well so you're concerned about the safety the stuff because children seem relatively safe from the virus and but the concern kerry and that is so passed on and we have lots of adults and percent of that. and also you can pass it between a child and if they haven't got it then and they can pass to their that parents and their families and it's a say it's going to be a very tricky situation to do this especially the building sizes of the at and that's over this are our colleagues at r.t. america will take over the top of the next hour from all of us sam westminster thanks for watching and goodbye.
