with the up with the flu than the other not go well then you too and most of them put a few of you to put you on the clock local cinema a lot to do with this whole school. stuff is because there's a system. that's using technology they'd been able to. drive and information on a cell phone and see if you have crossed off with somebody who is positive can turn on a virus and if you're not if you have a meeting. the cost on to somebody doesn't tempt you must be in i mean. but i think that's the most interesting thing is that all the people around them or in the same situation.

this is boom bust so one business show you can't afford to miss in washington coming up religion or disagree to creating a favorable atmosphere and conditions for implementing the phase one tiny u.s. trade agreement the spotlight is back on china u.s. trade as the people's republic has waived tariffs on some imports from the united states straight ahead we bring you expert analysis into what lies in store for the world's 2 largest economies plus tesla is defying california orders and has reopened operations within the state what does this mean for the auto giant we have a boom bust panel on hand to break it down you got a packed show today so let's dive right in. and china announced tuesday a new set of u.s. products eligible for waivers from its allegory tariffs put in place a. at the height of the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies now the

chinese foreign ministry issued a statement saying the waivers on $79.00 products will be put in place on the 19th of may and expire in may of 2021 the new list of products with waivers includes ores of rare earth metals gold ores so wars and it concentrates as part of the phase one trade deal between the 2 countries signed in january china agreed to increase imports of u.s. goods by over 200000000000 dollars over 2 years now the 2 sides held a call last week to discuss implementation of the phase one following a threat from u.s. president donald trump to pull out of the deal if beijing did not meet their commitments now the chinese foreign ministry on tuesday spoke of the importance of upholding this agreement. in the 1st phase of the economic degree meant between china and the united states that china the united states and the world to both parties should hold. in mutual respect and jointly implement the agreement.

to creating. conditions for implementing the phase one china u.s. trade agreement and for more on this let's bring in expert analysis from todd horowitz chief strategist at bubba trading and tobin smith c.e.o. of transformative research thank you both for being here with us today so but i want to dive right in here is there any significance to these tariff waivers we're seeing out of china and what does this mean for the overall trade deal between the u.s. and china. well you know brant the chinese can read polls in the polls say that the angry orange man is not going to be there after november so clearly if you from china's perspective throw a bone here i mean number one number 2 a by the way before we had the penn demick they had their swine flu and i lost about 70 percent of their pigs and poultry so they need our poultry at the same time we have too many pigs that we can't deliver so this is about the the nothing

it's nothing concession i've ever heard this is geopolitics at its best chinese plate much better than we do because there are strategic will they have one tactic you get a tariff you get a tariff well guess what chinese just one this one this little round all right now but i want to i want to hit on this as well with you know amid the pandemic that we actually anticipate both sides will adhere to the deal and more importantly with the economic situation worldwide is there any chance of phase 2 coming in the near future as early who holds all the cards i mean to tobin's point when it comes to more trade deals between us and china. i couldn't disagree more with coal but i mean 1st of all i think the trouble beer for another 4 years so that's a 1st parcels like a bar that is this deal i know a lot of good china has never honored a deal their history yeah but just $1000.00 i'm good ok. at the end of the day i think you've got a market that will never end here this deal china's not here do

a deal in their history why would we expect it to now they've already got the w.h.o. and the beauty oh trying to lean their way yet they can't when we could pull out and they need us a heck of a lot more than we need them and of course when you look at the big picture we're going to shatter my god and we can we can exist right here without them we don't need them as part of our economy. i'm sorry but i'm going to let you respond at this point. i don't know if you're smoking over there but want to share some look at china is going to have a 4 percent g.d.p. we're going to negative 8 percent g.d.p. china buys all of our electronic ironically our agendas are not going to open hellbent tell but you're talking you're talking right or if you're talking b.s. look let's see what the real numbers are china's a drop all they've got more issues than we do they do need food they need a lot of things that they're not going to be able to get they're not going to have their biggest customer who buys more product than anybody else so let's let's not get into these semantics of what's going on where ok at the end of the day china is

the us more than we need them and that's really what it comes out now but i want to let tobin respond let's try not to up too much i do want to get both your opinions here so go ahead and finish your thought up there well the point is is strategically china needs our electronics as much as they need our food number one number 2 they believe and i can they can read a poll just like i can't believe bubba just closed his eyes a little bit on that stuff that the big orange man is way behind he's losing on every one of his key states so their move is build a fence now and then when a new president comes in they start again that's classic chinese i've spent a lot of time in china i know how it works right now guys i know we can continue this conversation for the rest the segment above i want to i want to move on to another point here now saudi aramco announced tuesday a 25 percent drop in 1st quarter net profit as the pandemic has ravaged the oil demand now opec members are of course pledged deeper cuts which helped push prices

up a little bit on tuesday what's the future outlook for oil at this point. when our oil is up to go trying to rally it's up you know in some around the $30.00 level and again will it will it stay here look at the end of the day if we get the economy open and we get the economy flowing and we start increasing demand then yes . we get oil can start to walk now will it go back to 50 i don't think so i don't see major high prices until we can get fully open and start to use completely but the meantime we're going to cut back on what you make here saudi arabia there everybody's going to cut back and try to create a supply shortage we've got such a glut to begin with that it could be a long time to go through what you already have in stock in what we have stockpiled but you know again i think if we have a smooth and this thing continues and we start to open and get more action that i can certainly they'll be a demand for oil and prices will resume to be more of a somewhat normal but again if we have any issues along the road you could see

another negative for an oil before it's all over if something happens and now tobin as we talk about oil being you know crushed right now we've seen movement by the saudi government since 2016 to diversify their investment we even saw the saudi vision fund take a 5 $100000000.00 stake in live nation the concert promoter recently what are they doing to diversify the economy and are there concerns are there concerns with the saudi government buying up pieces of companies worldwide especially american companies. well i again saudi arabia is a country within a country the people who have the money is about 5000 people what i do know is this i have saudi arabian investors in my funds some are subscribers i talk to them all the time they're the worst market timers in the world if saudi arabia is putting money in live intent i was short that stock because they've shown time and time again that they don't understand business cycles because they never have one there they don't understand valuation because they don't care and so i when they get real

active in the markets to try to quote unquote diversify dude they've got to have $80.00 oil to pay all the people all the money that they promised and all the bonuses the nice stuff to keep the you know the keep the people settled these type investments are nothing to them and they're going to turn out to be nothing they've lost $2100000000.00 in the softbank quote unquote you know mystery fund and they're probably to lose another $5000000000.00 and maybe somebody's head rolls at the bottom but the people at the top say hey let's 5000000000. so ben smith and bubba horowitz thank you both for the expert analysis much appreciate it. and let's take another global look at the trends and spread of the coronavirus with r.t. correspondent site savage or so i where we today brian looking globally there are

numerous countries looking to live for instructions and we're obviously seeing that here in the u.s. against even against the advice from health officials that are pleading to the government and to the public to maintain some sort of plan to avoid and new wave of infections because this pandemic is far from over and we're seeing a lot of new cases daily specifically here in the u.s. who are now topping the rest of the world and new cases and then in fact in russia now places them among the top 3 countries in the world that are affected by the deadly disease and now just in the last 24 hours russia reported over $10000.00 and you cases and more than half of those new cases reported are in the capital city in moscow yet the country's death rate is still still relatively low under 2100 but critics are calling those numbers into question as are remains far lower

than other countries now the u.k. for example which has about the same number of cases both countries have having over 220000 cases yet the u.k. has more than 32000 deaths but the kremlin claims that the spike in new cases is because of a testing program that has carried out about a 6000000 test in the last couple of days and the lower death toll is because the same program has allowed medical staff to quickly identify those needing medical care but at taking a look at the following countries right here. looking at us russia brazil india u.k. peru saudi arabia pakistan turkey and chile these will all come from new cases just within the last 24 hours a so taking a look at all these numbers just show you how much they're growing within just the last 24 hours which again shows that this pandemic is far from over you know so i want to go back to the economy here though this pandemic has obviously slowed

global commerce to a crawl but we're what are countries doing to help me through their economies. so even before this crisis many countries already have very high debt levels ride which is why so many world powers are doing anything they can to prop up their economies during this downturn now let's start with china the world's largest a 2nd largest economy now during 822008 financial crisis spent about half a trillion dollars on a stimulus package and so china has roughly doubled as government dead to about 60 percent right now and many analysts don't think that the actually can afford to spend so aggressively again they get china has given about $80000000000.00 to struggling businesses and is planning to cut interest rates in the months ahead now germany who had doubled their nearly 59 percent dead of g.d.p. in $21000.00 has spent about $50000000000.00 yours or about 10 percent of their

g.d.p. to prop up their economy then a looking at the u.k. who has about 86 percent debt at 2019 as they were negotiating a pro post with the e.u. has now could add another 5 to 10 percent out of their kind of me and in 2020 and so far britain has spent about 400000000000 pounds or about 15 percent of their g.d.p. to rescue their economy then to us at about 100. and 6 percent dead 2 their g.d.p. purchased a 2 trillion treasury bond and on the fiscal side also passed 2 trillion stimulus package to get the us economy through the crisis lastly japan was already at a 238 percent debt to their g.d.p. in 2019 there responded with a massive relief package worth one trillion dollars to help the country through one

of its most challenging periods in recent history brant arche correspondent site editor thanks for keeping us up to date. time now for a quick break but here because when we return log thing the lockdown rules in california as the calls for economic reopening continue in the country we'll break it all down with a boom bust barrel in just a bit as we go to break here the numbers at the close of. the world is driven by shaped by one person or those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. good food descriptions sound up and tell using even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets is really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes and arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating

these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple. problem. and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets last treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making dollars on it and there's no reason to do that research. tesla founder and c.e.o. elon musk has found a new role over the past few weeks leading the tech resistance to government shutdowns now musk has announced that tesla will defy local orders and is starting its california for fremont california factory the announcement came monday on twitter and its supercharged a standoff over government orders that the company's california plant remain closed

as part of efforts to slow the spread of coppa 19 joining us now to just justice and other stories of boom bust co-hosts christiane bents one bet i want to start with you musk says he is going to do this and really they're going to have despite orders for tesla to stay home what is the value in this move for tesla and ilan musk. well i'm not sure what the value is necessarily tesla other than getting its operations back up and running which i guess would be valuable for any business owner what's interesting about this story is that obviously the last few weeks really has been kind of as you said there the head of this kind of tech resistant so you have companies like facebook and google that are rival kind of lockstep with government orders and musk is taking the opposite position saying that this is the united states that we shouldn't be under these kinds of lock downs and so he's been very defiant from the beginning virtually now he has restarted production lines at that fremont california plant we also know that he tweeted out that after monday he

said a good day's work and thank you for everyone for being here we know that on tuesday about. 3 o'clock eastern time a letter was sent from the sheriff's department to tesla and their chief safety officer telling them to shut down and that the sheriff's department was mandating they shut down because apparently alameda county the county that the plant is in has more strict guidelines than the state of california has and so must actually sued over that saying that he should be able to operate under california's guidelines not under the more stringent local county guidelines so that's kind of where the battle has been so far and so far musk says he's going to be on the operating line working with workers and if someone gets arrested he says it should be him. away i'm sorry go ahead christi i know you're all jacked up to talk about this yet because i'm like it's absolutely fine if he actually is the leader or the face of the tech resistance if that's what he want to position himself to be but if

he really was doing that then where was he during this entire big resistance where was he trained net neutrality he never took any position on any of those things but now when it's something that's affecting his business his line of work oh now he's all up in arms about it until it actually makes him a big hypocrite in my book because right now he's basically saying hey california thank you so much for the tax subsidies thank you so much for those tax breaks and everything i'm going to take my headquarters and move over to nevada or texas is basically what he posted in a sense delete a tweet so it is only upset because this is a this is affecting his business directly and this is out of it making it backlash in california which is one of his main demographics and consumer population so they are the ones who has previously praising him for being thinking that oh musk it's going to be the genius that saves the world from carbon emissions and everything now it seems to be finally that california is taking a stance and being like we are tired of his antics and that's it actually it is the gold standard and we just have this in fairness and i think this in and christine

knows me and she knows i'm all about ideology right that that it's not about your own personal situation if you have this belief system it should be true so i agree with what you're saying about. that but in fairness to us as with most people there are many people who are not passionate about their own freedom and they're not passionate about you know these ideas or deals of what it means for limited government and having freedom until your own is taken away it's easy to not worry about it when it's someone else if he takes this for someone like you or many millions of americans across across the country or people around the world to say wait a minute why are these rules in place and do these rules make sense and why is it that company a is essential while i'm non-essential it might take this for some people to awaken i'm not saying the law must has been awakened i'm not saying he's been as the term goes red hill but i am saying it might take that for somebody to wake up to see their own livelihood being threatened well right but i mean but i think christie i

know this is what you're saying but i mean essentially he's got this high huge high profile as a as a tech entrepreneur as an auto expert nor as a space entrepreneur now and it doesn't seem like he's fighting for other tech companies he's fighting for musk he's fighting for his bottom line and i don't know if it's necessarily even his bottom line as much as it's his ego where he's actually trying to make sure he can push those vehicles out to keep getting them on the road i mean which does affect his bottom line but obviously you know he's made 10000000000 dollars what in the last year based on the valuation of tesla so he's doing all right now pretty clear to your point earlier too i mean do you think this could actually affect sales if he were to fully pull out of california do you think this could actually affect sales because california is the most equipped to handle tesla's there's charging stations everywhere there's actual tesla dealerships bear more than there are anywhere else in the country do you think that could affect his bottom line in a place where probably the most tesla's are sold here in the united states. it

absolutely will affect his bottom line and that's probably why he deleted that tweet threatening to pull out of california and it probably also has to do with the fact that we just got numbers coming out of shanghai so if you remember last year we've. basically exploded because they get a factory finally opened up in shanghai and was ready for production well sales figures just came out in china and shanghai especially the entire city has been reopened everybody is at maximum production capacity there is no strain on production so coming off the line there are $12000.00 vehicles produced in the month of march only $3000.00 got sold and that's a 70 percent decline month over month so that already shows that the hype factor at the clout factor that i had last year is already gone and that's fine * because i like to chase that name brand recognition likes to chase the clouds so to speak and in china where the market actually moves fast and brands are only in and out for months at a time the sales cycle is much much faster pace than that in the us and tells us finding that out the hard way that their vehicles are no longer competitive with a lot of the cheaper e.-v.

alternatives that are coming out of asia now guys i want to do take a quick turn because i want to follow up on something we talked about monday we waited to see what would happen with the price of bitcoin as a result of the having now ben it turned out to be kind of a non event but why is that. well ultimately what we didn't see was a huge spike in the price of big point it's up about 2 percent today 2 and a half percent but we did not see a huge spike but what you people have to remember is that there's a lot of fixation on round numbers you know 10000 being this round number that everyone's looking at when in reality because it has continued to do well it continues to hover in a strong place and with everything going on around the world right now just watch it carefully because you're going to see currencies being disregarded and you're going to see more movement towards those group of currencies and real quick about the long was he might just pick up a whole other demographic of people outside of california in the past thought he was a commie who now suddenly say well maybe this guy does like freedom even if it's just about himself and i know we could have done. more on the having their christmas so

i apologize that you didn't get the way in there but we are sadly out of time boom bust co-host ben swotting christiane thank you both for joining us today. and disney is hoping that it is on the road to recovery after reopening the 1st of its 6 international resorts in shanghai china the move is being a lot as an important baby step for the global tourism industry which has been ravaged by the kobe 1000 pandemic correspondent alex mileage is following the story and filed this report. it's what disney fans in china have been waiting for. after a hiatus that lasted nearly 2 and a half months many of the familiar sights and sounds are back in shanghai disney resort. disneyland was the 1st of the company's theme parks to shut down due to covert 90. diseases. of the business.

and now it is the 1st to be back in business to ensure social distancing measures can be met the park is restricting visitor numbers to only 20 percent of its daily limit or about 16000 people and it doesn't end there. while part gores look excited to be back at the magic kingdom other than capacity limitations it is obvious some things have changed the way. the crushing measures are good at disneyland people need to keep a certain distance between each other just crowds from forming popular parades and fireworks shows have been shelved for the time being you know addition disney is insisting that all park go words were face masks and go through temperature checks employees will be taking added disinfection measures at the resort. while for the people it's all about fun for disney the reopening of the shanghai resort is an important step in recovering from fibrous lock downs which have cost the company estimated. $1400000000.00 in pretax profit the good news is if the 1st day of

reopening indicates anything it is that disney is as popular as ever when tickets went on sale for opening day in 3 minutes but shanghai disney isn't out of the woods yet and neither is china in general china has seen new cases of covert 19 in recent days adding to the fear that another wave of the corona virus could be on its way and that means that the doors of disney could be forced to close once again while experts predict future ups and downs with covered 19 for today this is the only kind of roller coaster ride visitors at shanghai disney are concerned about a little disney magic to remind them of better times and hopefully a sign of brighter days ahead for boom bust i'm alex mileage. and that's it for the you can catch boom bust on the brand new portable t.v. up of ailill and smartphones through google play on the apple app store by searching portable t.v. and as always you can check it out on youtube. start to see you next time.

after all remember to recruit some good you have on little people 1000 people bar you member i think the lead revolved you could probably. why do you prefer the earth week that was really. business which wasn't when the president. was there what i mean you. will see ask yourself how are you going to survive how are you going to protect

yourself a little to feel cool off your phone for the up or the flu than the old local funded through in the field or through the door the clerk local are a lot older and this will still. reduce your stomach because others are as it is. using technology where they've been able to see x. use people's private information on the cell phones and see what you've seen if you have crossed thoughts with somebody who is positively coronavirus and if you are if you had a need he seen your message because ponce is somebody who has tested positive ps you must be in our n.t. . that was interesting thing is best to all the people around them or are in the same situation.

we go to work. so straight home. back in the 1970 s. i recall some luminal advertising was illegal you know like soft drink companies would run an image so fast in the commercial of somebody you know in a desert you know hydrated and this was one pint of it in your unconscious mind and this was deemed illegal and subliminal ads were taboo but you know we live in an age where all all communication now is supplemental internet attacks the

subconscious and the unconscious in the form of mean. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is are to u.k. . workers across england are encouraged to head back to their jobs if they can't do so from home but are told not to use public transport as experts predict a severe hit to the economy after the covert crisis has subsided. britain's opposition leader secured starmer overtakes the prime minister in terms of popularity as his constructive forensic approach to the paris crisis is praised obvious speaking to polling expert professor john cut and spiritually. the government stands accused of being too slow to protect their home residents lances relatives tried to sue a council after one facility prepares to accept recovered coronavirus patients we

hear from a former labor m.p. and later we'll be hearing from a doctor. also this hour the couple the prizes the public against travelling abroad for the summer holidays as they're not in school for more clarity on quarantine measures planned for those in train. lockdown in britain has started to ease as the government urges those in england to call work from home to return to their jobs but also avoid public transport it comes amid financial doomsday predictions which suggest the british economy could shrink by up to a quarter auntie case he's on a joining me now with the latest so he's back to work hasn't really gone to plan. no absolutely today is the day when in england at least we see some of the changes

to those look dollar structures coming in to show the facts people of course being able to exercise it out and i'm limited amounts of time as opposed to the previous mandates and once a day people are also being allowed to. meet people from all of the households as long as it's just one bus and at a time but also importantly people starting to return back to work but the government saying that if people call work from home they should go in but of course this is cause a number of issues despite the government encouraging people to drive or to get used to cycles of all of course people also having to use public transport and that led to a number of quite frankly boring images we've seen coming in of people crammed together on public transport on buses and so on and people being crowded together in a way many of them not wearing face facial mosques and leading to fear is that the

the spread of the seas could one small be aided by the fact that people are all crowding onto public transport despite the fact the government has as i mentioned encouraged people to try to cycle will be used old senator methods where they can elsewhere we're seeing of course questions being raised iraq people going back to work to what are they going to do about their children because of course schools to to open until june so people might have to rely upon alternative childcare arrangements and that's something which the leader of the opposition kids sama raised in parliament to the prime minister. a real concern for many people is child care i want to quote a mother of a young child apologize but it's a little at 3 but it reflects the curse that all members of this house will have been getting she says this. has boris set in his speech people are

encouraged to go back to work meeting my partner as he works in construction my partner has explained to his boss this can happen because we've got no childcare he also run the nursery but then open i work as well but my boss is having none of it i hope i can get some advice min my partner been so stressed over. what advice with a promise to give her. prime minister i think i was very clear a both with him and with the house earlier in the week that in so far as people may not be able to go back to work because they don't have the childcare that they need then their employers must be understanding. but of course there isn't you know nitze amongst the home nations is looked on measures being he's an england but in scotland wales and northern ireland the slogan is still people to stay home or schools in england now it's changed to state law now this was an issue which the

s.n.p. as leader in the commons in black surely raised when he went head to head with the problems. and it's on sunday could not have been more disastrous from this government the prime minister has made confusion costly devolved administration a shutout widespread confusion amongst the public and a total disregard for this government for workers' safety many sadly have seen the images of london buses being packed this morning mr speaker will the prime minister accept that the clear message in scotland is stay home to protect the n.h.s. to save lives i must say i don't accept the characterization of the cooperation that we've had across the one issues that the leader of the s.n.p. and makes now yesterday the government moves to offer some clarity with regards to lock down regulations now these are to do with employers who are going to start

back into the into the workplace now they're required to follow a new sets all those regulations they could asking employers to put up screens or barriers between workers to reduce the potential spread of the infection the government also say that workers should be placed into teams to stop them interacting with people who perhaps aren't necessary for them to interact with also to be implemented back to back or side to side desk the range means to minimise the amount of time people spend sitting face to face with the government also recommending their stock or workers to continue frequent hand washing. and we're hearing about the economic impact now. yes of course one of the main issues has been in addition so of course the terrible human toll 'd that 1000 has growth amongst the british museum are suppressed for placement is of course the

economic question as well now a scene near data from the office for national statistics showing that the u.k. economy has contract fosters paste on record so far so what do these numbers say according to you know and has the u.k.'s gross domestic product g.d.p. dropped by nearly 6 percent in the march of month alone to put that into perspective the u.k.'s g.d.p. dropped by only slightly more 6.9 percent over the course of the entire financial crisis of 20082009 there are also been record declines in construction and service industries of course industries that were not considered essential car sales restaurants of course also being hard hit and the bank of england have to dictate that the economy could shrink by as much as 25 percent when all is said and done at the end of the next financial quarter and there have been

concerns amongst a number of academics and professors that this economic hardship could continue somewhat into the future if and i stress if we end up with an. recession as opposed to a vision where we come back out quite quickly and i'll say over a long period of time could lead to. a significant number of deaths as a result of people big pushed into covert cia or into long term unemployment and we know that people in the lowest silos think 'd. of higher mortality rates suddenly in our country and if you increase that you'll likely to see an increase. but there are. so measures to try to minimize where they don't make out out all all of this is a thank you very much for that update and do stay with us as i'll be discussing the

economic impact of the crisis with the u.k.'s former business secretary and former leader of the liberal democrats surveillance cable that will be in just over an hour from now. they believe a secure starmer has become more popular with the public than the prime minister for the 1st time ever according to a you gov poll 40 percent think secure is doing fairly well all very well with just under 20 percent believing the opposite slightly more 60 percent think boris johnson is performing fairly well all very well but many also think he isn't that means that the leader of the opposition has overtaken the prime minister in terms of net approval rating was star on plus $23.00 and johnson a point behind having taken the reins of the labor party during the current crisis secures said he doesn't want to oppose the government for its own sake but will robustly challenge it we was slowed to look down slow on testing slower

protective equipment a mouse slow to take up these offers from british this stage at this stage i do think good international comparisons and the data is yet that he drew conclusions that we want to speak of the argument that international comparisons can really be made when the government's been using slides like this for weeks to do international comparison just really doesn't hold water in the document i've seen it says that workplaces should follow the coated secure guidelines which are human so guidelines as soon as practicable but under page 2022 it says they will be released later this week. to discuss the labor leaders popularity surge i'm not joined by politics professor and polling experts and john curtis john good of you to join us today what do you think what's driving these findings what is it about kiss dom of the public seem to like at this point in the virus crisis. well 1st thing we set out to say bill is that we should remember that for many votes is the

care. is still an unknown quantity actually just single the most popular response to the question the year got to us was i don't know how well doubtless a kid is doing but that said this is one of a number of pieces of evidence that secure is at least starting off with a net positive approval rating amongst those people who are willing to tell you it's in feed many fewer than they are for the prime minister and certainly what is true is the polling against in this poll which shows that boys join the proportion think about it just do it but it is down from 2 thirds last minute to 57 percent now that drop is consistent with the other party out at the probably in the last few days the last 7 days the confidence in the way in which the government's been hunting the coronavirus crisis and confidence in the prime minister in particular

how has been eroded just if integrated perhaps not least in part because i think one of the crucial developments how to undo all the sunday in the wake of the prime minister's speech was not secure himself didn't entirely draw the consensus on the loose and he still wants the government to succeed was now clearly being much more willing to be critical of how the government was hunting the coronavirus and in jazz so doing was singing much the same tune as the government since cut it as a bell for us not exactly that for boris johnson is now finding that he's operating in. politically somewhat choppier waters. opposition parties. are all the more were they to criticize what he's doing and saying that he's not particularly well known at the moment in terms of politics is not far off the previous leader jeremy corbyn and he certainly no blairite even served alongside his shadow braces secretary will the public's opinion change when things become clearer when it

becomes clear. well all i can say is that he starts off in the right place for having desperate seems one can also inside his other party got inside of that more people say that they can think you miss being prime minister donna's noughts he suddenly has an invite to your cherry coke which the truth is that you know that one of secure is key jobs is to begin to impress himself and his personality on the british public and of course the fed that we are in the midst of a public health crisis does make it more difficult for him to get the ad side and the populist to me otherwise what the job was will get except that he has got one had thought he chucked it this of course prime minister's questions of which you've been playing some clips is a very very different event at the moment from what he usually is a it's a very small number of a piece and the cheering and the bowing is not present and this is playing to

secure his advantage because of course by trading he's a lawyer is used to asking questions here schuster asking all questions and he's law the good about it in contrast of course one of the things that boris johnson is known for is that he's still rhetoric but not always good on details in this does that mean that the prime minister is finding these encounters all the difficult enough they will be interesting is if indeed the us economy is does begin to get more crowded us the leader of the us james or jacob reese marcus probably see how bossy kid doesn't duck invited will be interesting just super in the moment at least the house of commons is providing him with the one for a show in which he can indeed begin to make some impressionable at a pub and just one final form brief if you don't mind you mention personality which is important politics in boston still has more like ability than stellar but it's just that many people also dislike him to show yeah boris johnson in truth the

highs ever since he became the lead. de facto leader of the league campaign to try to 60 became a divisive they got love partly votes is disliked by remain just that's all still there the poet it's just that in the wake of the coronavirus like many other leaders a vote is even those on their main side got when some of them would begin when willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and to hope that he would succeed what now seems to be true is that those who did not vote for the conservatism 29 c. who did not vote leave in 2060 on down mind it to be a lot more critical of prime minister than they were a few weeks ago thank you very much indeed professor john curtis really good to talk to you today thank you you're. now let's take a look at the latest coronavirus figures from across the u.k. n.h.s. england has reported an additional $244.00 deaths while the scottish 1st minister has confirmed $61.00 public health wales reported 22 a northern on its department of health to. overunder campaigners append

in a care home will become infected yesterday's ins figures show to at least 40 percent of all deaths from covert 19 were in care homes just the prime minister except that the government was too slow to protect people in care homes it wasn't true that the advice actually we brought a lockdown in our care homes ahead of the of the general lockdown misquote from surprise the promise to. where is the advice of his own government up to the 12th of march the david tyree graph this week eric the following quote from a cardiologist we discharged node suspected an unknown cases into care homes which were unprepared with no formal warning that patients were infected no testing available and no p.p. to prevent transmission we actively seeded this into the very population that was

most vulnerable does the prime minister except that the cardiologist is right about this actually the number of discharges from hospitals into into care homes went down in march and april and we had a a system of testing people going into care homes and that testing is now being ramped up across all the 15000 homes. it's since emerged the storm his version of the government advice was right and he's written to the prime minister calling for him to correct the record and those who is that was published in february and then withdrawn on 13th of march did say that there is currently no transmission of covert 19 in the community is therefore very unlikely that anyone receiving care in a care home or the community will become infected number 10 has rejected the labor leaders calls me more relatives are threatening to sue dogs for council after virus free white stones care home repairs to accept patients who have recovered from corona virus those who are one enough to leave hospital but not well enough to go

straight home or to be admitted to a specific isolated wing for further treatment the council says that no patients will be moved before being tested but is director for social care did admit it could happen before results on current guidance is clear that the current expectation of the government is that hospital patients will be required to have a test for corona virus prior to being discharged but that people can be discharged to home pending the test result former labor m.p. for high peak ruth george told me that there is so much that the government should have done and care homes like this one simply are not prepared tripoli's they don't have an additional set of staff to care for those patients who are likely still to be contagious with their own a virus so their star will be going in and caring for the haitian someone and then the residential home to see very elderly and frail vulnerable

people the next day. it's a good way to try and keep the virus out so that. for more on this i'm not joined by former chairman of independent doctors for the regime dr martin skinner martin really good of you to be with us today is it fair to say that when this was happening in this really no one could have predicted how at risk homes were. i think it wasn't thought about though too little was known about the virus the accident was all 'd on creating the wherewithal in intensive care units in acute hospitals and the care homes were. really a 2nd tier of concern and we knew so little about the virus at that point about whether people might still carry it when they've recovered and about the other aspects of the infection that the whole thing passed the politicians by is what i suspect and as a doctor what more do you really know about this because if someone is recovering

from the virus and they're actually or indeed how are doing to recovered and returning to a care home from hospital how great is the transmission risk. well we don't know the figures we know for certain that when patients have recovered they may still be excrete in the virus and it was hoped that after 7 days that people would not do so but we know that some do and therefore in dealing with the tension between people who've recovered and you need care of some sort well they convalesce old fashioned term but convalescence is certainly needed and the people in their care home who are very very vulnerable. the care home residents are the priority and the only way in which a discharged patient from acute care could go into a care home even into a separate building on the campus would be if they've been tested and the result is available anything else in my view is a dereliction of duty it transgresses every aspect of medical ethics so of course

if they do go into a separate wing and kept separate you're concerned that there's still a risk to other residents undoubtedly as has been pointed out a few months ago the staff of the same staff there is every possibility of transmission we know that care and home staff 1st of all may have inadequate person protection equipment secondly they are not trained in the thinking that is needed when moving from an infected area to a non infected area their cameras they're not high quality medical personnel and it's too much to expect them to be able to do this efficiently apart from the provision of p.p.a. or indeed what seems to be the lack of it what would you like to see the government do now to protect her residents. i think we should not allow recovered patients even with negative tests to to be admitted to care homes there is a solution here which is to look at mothballed hotels they have staff who can feed

and care for such patients and it would be a very reasonable alternative the facilities are available it just takes organization to achieve it and many care homes are private of course what a burden should they accept for being unprepared they should share some sort of responsibility well i think they have a legal responsibility in terms of the care of their residents so they need to stand up and be counted as you say care homes it's a mixed picture of funding from local authority through to fully private and i believe the management of care homes whoever is funding it have the same medical ethics considerations to take into account when looking after the vulnerable people under their care they are responsible they are liable and the 1st priority of that residents who are already there doctor has no dr martin thank you very much for joining us really interesting to hear your thoughts on this thank you for your time

thank you for asking me thank you. the government as well the public not to risk booking some of getaways until there is a change in advice on nonessential travel transport secretary grant shapps made the comments as severe airlines announce plans i should say several airlines announce plans to resume a mass bookings from this july going abroad the foreign and commonwealth office advise against all travel abroad so you can go and do that so right now of course you can't book those things. the remarks come as the e.u. commission says it hopes to gradually lift travel restrictions even if it means added security measures now this could mean the rollout of pre-boarding blood tests or temperature checks at airports. could also introduce staggered boarding on its flights to ensure social distancing guidelines once on the flight that distance and could be maintained by keeping the middle seat free and for passengers to wear masks at all times flight attendants are also likely to get

a new look wearing medical grade gloves and masks the u.k. is also planning to introduce a mandated 14 day quarantine for those entering the country the prime minister failed to clarify the details when questioned by the leader of the s. and p. . unquote intending following travel when will these quarantine measures come into force and can the prime minister confirm if his own transport secretary has told airline industry leaders that are too many obstacles that implementing it it may not even happen and mr speaker i would just say to the right honorable gentleman quite simply that i do feel good the the u.k. has been able thanks to the corporation i've had not just with honorable members opposite but across on formations like that we have been able to make a huge amount of progress together i think most people actually understand where we are in fighting this disease. and do stay with us here in our well be joined by the chair of the institute of travel and tourism that's

a little later so all have more news for you in half an hour from now. with good reason public discourse is focused on addressing and finally each containing the coby $1000.00 pandemic now the focus is on devastated economies we're in a recession will it morph into a depression will the recovery be you. or anyone else. to buy it is the. more of an operation in. some of the wealthier neighborhoods it's been far more contained in the numbers are

much lower than some of the more a neighborhood star city it's the same we're working with can source outside the state is there just so it's here so i think that it was. the. time after that they were going on the ground from a well the epicenter of coronavirus is the united kingdom splits into foreign policy while estimates of the numbers of dead rise above 50000 and the working class is a told.
