a record of $1179.00 on tuesday the president is now considering imposing a travel ban on the south american country. but the massive amounts of government spending and u.s. dollars being printed right now the u.s. treasury is about to do something it hasn't done in almost 40 years it's creating a 20 year bond in order to pay off some debt well this kind of bond was last issued in 1986 and it debuted one say during a $20000000000.00 auction joining us now to discuss. post an investigative journalist ben swan ben let's start by you having by having you explain this bond to us what's the idea behind it and what is the draw to a 20 year bond. yeah i think it's a couple things 1st of all the idea behind it is you're going to try to pay off some of this massive mounting debt that's being created right now by the u.s. treasury and by the federal reserve bank and when you think about it i mean the numbers are just staggering as to what's being printed in the amount of debt that's being accrued right now so as you said it has been almost 40 years since

a 20 year bond has been issued and yet that's exactly what the u.s. treasury is now doing but what's really interesting about this to me is that apparently the treasury secretary says the u.s. government had actually floated 1st the idea of a 100 year bond and then a 50 year bond but what they were advised on was that there's no interest from investors in a 100 year bond for a 50 year but i'll be dead but there are the. absolutely they'd be dead before they were able to see it to yield from that but the 20 year bond there was more interest in and so they're seeing that investors do like the idea of one of those long term bonds but 20 is about the breaking point and it seems like it will it's been a pretty volatile week for wall street as we have seen stocks. sharply on wednesday is this all part of the new normal are we just going to keep seeing it go up and down throughout the next few months yeah i think it is part of the new normal at least for the temporary at least for the time being i think what we're going to see is continued kind of ups and downs based on. different factors headline seem to be

driving a lot of this you know we have more states reopening that seems to be helping the stock market we're getting you know earnings reports back for instance from amazon and facebook both of them sitting record highs in terms of their stock right now which is really not a surprise especially for amazon that has really been able to benefit because of people being kind of sheltered at home but simultaneously i think we're also seeing more optimism as we're seeing more factories come back online we're seeing you know the big 3 in detroit the big 3 automakers chrysler ford g.m. also new workers back to work and to produce cars again so i think that will actually help it will start to see the economy recover in terms of wall street over the next few weeks and months main street may be a different story well not just that also saying that they were closer to a vaccine than promising more treatments for kovan 1000 has also been helping a little bit but over the last few weeks we have seen a lot of headlines that the housing and even mortgage industry now is in pretty big

trouble suddenly there's been a surge of buyers coming back into the market what's going on here yeah that's a really interesting story isn't it that all of a sudden you have a surge in people going out to get essentially home loans to buy new homes with what's interesting about it is the geography where is that happening you know over the last several decades we have seen this push for people to become more urbanized and to move into downtowns and gentrified neighborhoods essentially that are remade in downtowns across the country what's happening right now is we're seeing a surge of people who are wanting to get out of downtown and get out of urban areas and instead move into suburbs and so that's actually where the surge is people want to go and buy a home outside of the inner city i'm sure it has to do with you know the fears over cove that the idea of people being. close to each other not having that space so there seems to be a real interest there also interesting lee right now if you're trying to refight your home there isn't much of that going on and part of the reason for that is a lot of banks have frozen reef eyes but at the same time they're making loans for new home purchases so there's kind of

a back of or there's 2 exactly why that is that they've frozen the revised but it's happened now refinancing but they are at least some mortgage due dates for some people left and i want to get one more question and the u.s. senate did approve sleeping this new legislation on wednesday that could ultimately bar many companies from now listing shares on u.s. exchanges or even raising money from american investors but give us give us the details on that and give us an outlook of what this actually means yeah this is a really interesting story so essentially what the senate did was they voted on this legislation that requires that chinese companies listen to this stablish that they are not owned or controlled by a foreign government now that's an almost impossible task it's one thing to say you know we're not going to allow americans to invest in companies that are owned by the chinese government it's another thing to say if you are a chinese company you must prove a negative prove that you are not controlled by the chinese government prove that you are not owned by the chinese government how do you actually prove that there's also been an audit that can be essentially created by the public company accounting

oversight board that can investigate your documents to try to find out of this is true i think this could be a kind of a touchy issue because you're talking about probably a legal issue as to whether or not people would be allowed to invest in a company simply because the u.s. senate has decided that it may have an association with the chinese government therefore that makes it illegal i think there could be a lot of legal questions more tensions to come i'm sure after that especially after the restrictions on a co-host of boom bust an investigative journalist bent on thank you for your time . india is one of the most advanced developing countries it's the world's fastest growing large economy yet it has one of the worst public health systems. and it's highlighted that by the pandemic well despite the $266000000000.00 stimulus package the equivalent of 10 percent of india's g.d.p. economists argue it's simply not enough to address the devastation the country now faces in a nation of 1300000000 people goldman sachs now predicts india faces

a 45 percent decline in its g.d.p. for the 2nd quarter for more we're joined by economics professor richard wolfe and author of the book understanding socialism professor good to see you thanks for coming on again. my pleasure thank you all let's start with goldman sachs projecting this 45 percent right will there also projecting the industry d.p. will that rebound by 20 percent this year by the 3rd quarter what will happen to india's caste system and is it going to further exacerbate the wealth inequalities that already exist. well i'm a little taken aback by that confidence with which goldman sachs predicts the future i don't really think anybody can do there no disrespect to them i can't either but you shouldn't dream it i have no idea what's going to happen 6 months from now and i doubt anyone else knows we are in uncharted waters we do not know what the ramifications of this crash is not know a long it will last having said that india isn't there crew or crunch and it

crimson enormous actuation into very close living quarters as you can see and therefore it is ripe for the kind of spreading in traction that we see and that was no one has really known for decades the failure in india as in so many other countries not just india was the failure to prepare the hash tag the game delayed is the masks that are the chesty chips to be able to clearly identify what your problem is where it is that was the problem it was the problem in this country 2 were united. space but it is more severe in india and the price that is being paid in illness and death yes it is going to be staggering and like in the united states the poorer you are the greater your risks of either getting sick or dying and

they're going to be consequences for the entirety of the indian economy it's really a terrible tragedy a look country that has tried so hard to be come of a leading economic force in the world well professor as you mentioned poverty obviously a population the country here which it accounts for about 40 percent of the world's the urban park community it's already struggling to make ends meet there are more than 110000 confirmed cases and more than 3400 deaths in the country are we going to expect this virus to ravaged the most porn aber had they have no running water extremely poor sanitation especially coming out close to the super cycle and it's going to hit the country. you know you don't there is a tragedy here but there's also something that verges on the obscene it's a little bit like here in the united states having politicians get out there and say aerated make sure the way to be safe is to get in strong stay inside and wash

your hands we have a 1000000 at least on him to homeless people in the united states who obviously champ's do it that's what homeless means at least it's a page to his cruelty what exactly in her a 1000000 years it's that they're trying 100000000 or more if india they don't have shelters that keep them separate from other people they don't have running water in the air doesn't have a religion for a quarter of rich people i mean you put all that together and yes you are facing a spectacular risk which the most government committed as it is the neo liberalism supremacy of private enterprise. hasn't had the government step up and produce and stockpile what you need for a grant they're making so they're going to go through a list and pay a horrific price we have about a minute left but i do want to get a quick answer on this china has taken extensive efforts through its communist party to relocate the most poor and even the vulnerable citizens to rural china

from rural china rather and place them in more developing towns is this something the india will consider doing. yes but they don't have the infrastructure to do it i mean may consider it maybe they'll try to do it but this is the result from the 30 years of a very different development plan it china is a highly organized china it is more will china rules people know and has experience none of that is kind of group really true in india they have a very relatively small claims that really rich people and they asked neglect the merits of their population so they're not in a position to do it even though it would be a helpful step to take like so many others that aren't being well let's hope that they can prepare if this happens again because it's a matter of time like they said to do so richard will host of economic of day and author of understanding socialism thank you for your analysis. thank you as well. time now for

a quick break but hang here because when we return amanda pandemic there is a growing push for some automated jobs but what does this mean for a post pandemic like r.t. correspondent natasha swe explains now as we go to break here the numbers are the. listen stumbling online algorithms dictate what you get to want to go to portable dot tv slash download to get killer television it's completely separate i'm talking award winning comedy awesome sports coverage inside so fresh still tastes like

help the economy r.t. correspondent atocha 3 has more on the benefits and the concerns surrounding the innovation. great if came is when it's a favorite tourist scared to find it being robots an artificial intelligence are helping to cut costs while reducing the spread of infections well some are concerned robots will take over human jobs this trend of global retailers using this technology has already been on the rise before stay at home orders were issued and businesses order to close as a result of the crown a virus pandemic robots like tally have been stocking store shelves and clothing rocks tally is fully autonomous and mobile designed to help retailers take a better inventory within their stores the goal of tally is to help ensure a product is always stocked in the right place and has the right price and now those behind the technology of tally say the concept is in high demand it creates an opportunity where there is actually more social distancing in the environment because these tasks are being performed by by robot another person san diego based

brain court makes a robot operating system that can automate existing machines its main product is a self driving floor cleaner working faster than a human can it even avoids running into people during store hours company executives say more than $10000.00 brain powered robots are utilized by major retailers including supermarket chains kroger and walmart even airports and schools in april the company raising an additional $36000000.00 in venture capital to expand into other areas such as shelf analytics and inventory delivery we're not trying to replace a human in the companies that generally do try to do that in robotics often fail because humans are so flexible and can form so many of the chassis 3 were to. hands tool that allows them to perform at a high productive level really able enables them to focus on the higher value tasks the robots on get up but with unemployment at 14.7 percent and the economy dropping some 20000000 jobs in april many can't help but worry about their future they

typically won't call in sick but sometimes they do great. in fact you can reduce the amount of human contact and therefore you know be able to you know reduce the possibility of disease spread san francisco based bossanova robotics produces machines similar to tally recently bossanova announced its scanning shelf robot will be expanding to $1001.00 march stores this year that's up from 358 last year the trend is operating to those who worry their jobs won't return after the pet demick there's a trade off there's a real benefits to automation and those many of them are economic i think the question is you know what happens to workers if there are if they're not doing things the robots are doing now developers say there are many cases where robots actually help humans do their jobs not replace them take a bomb disposal robots for instance and in terms of things like medicine where life

and death decisions need to be made instantly those can't be replaced with ai although technology can still make a doctor's visit easier and amazon who has been using ai front and center are still needs people they actually increased hiring to 100000 new jobs even offering a pay raise in 2018 a study looked at 3 recessions over the past 30 years it found 88 percent of jobs lost were in routine quote automatable occupations in 2016 a paper examined 100000000 job post online before and after the 2008 recession it concluded that affected companies were replacing employees with a mix of more skilled workers and technology so while the job outlook may look. grim robots meet just be able to help keep the economy flowing during this uncertain time reporting in los angeles natasha suites are. consumer and medical goods company johnson and johnson announced this week it will stop selling its

telcom based baby powder in the united states and canada well johnson and johnson is facing thousands of lawsuits from cancer patients that claim especially as contamination in the baby powder made them sick little journalist should be there with america's lawyer has more on the story molly good to see you. hi sarah molly what's the reason the johnson and johnson gave for really pulling these products from the 2 countries. well it seems like it was done with a little bit of a flourish they said they're pulling it because of demand falling because of misinformation but as you said they're facing nearly 20000 lawsuits from patients who basically say their cancer was caused by using talcum powder that was contaminated with this so they have a lot of legal challenges that they're facing right now between this as well as some of the opioid litigation they've decided to pull this product from the shelves but make no it's only in the united states and canada they're actually not pulling it from other markets like in europe well that's what's surprising it's like ok

well just usually it's the opposite europe's the 1st one to pull the products that it's upright it's coming from johnson and johnson but as you mentioned the company has been facing these lawsuits over this talcum powder for a while now why why now why stop selling the product now. i know it's such interesting timing isn't it there's a lot of theories out there one is that it's kind of a p.r. move everybody is distracted by the coronavirus right now maybe they're not hitting the shelves as much they're ordering in and so it's a little bit of a quieter way to go out take less of a hit to your reputation if you will also as they continue to face this lawsuit by making this move they can turn to jurors and say you know even though we have faith in our product we took this corrective action out of concern and so we pulled this product and they're hoping that might be maybe they'll get fewer punitive damages which is the kind of damages juries like to give out if you're still doing something that doing something wrong to you will doesn't that make them look even more guilty. it certainly does look like they're trying to put a spin on we're taking these products off the shelves and we're doing it because

you know poor us demand this fall and we're just the victims of this misinformation so in a way it does make them look more guilty also i think they knew they were going to have to come this direction anyway to a certain extent the f.d.a. has said that they have found batches of our contaminate especially as contamination in batches of their talcum that is out of it and so on and has been on. exactly yes so you know the medical community is still mixed as far as what exactly these studies have shown but there are enough studies that show even as far back as like the early 1970 s. the johnson and johnson was finding a specificity talcum powder in tumors ovarian cancer you know all the way back to 1971 so again number of studies they say they're inconclusive but then you also find studies where they say women who regularly have used especially for them in hygiene especially to space talcum powder or talcum powder that has a specialist in it do have an increased reese increased risk if they continue to

use it and some women of use it for decades and so you've even got a case it's pending in florida in october that has to do with mesothelioma inhaling that talcum powder and there's a big difference between talcum powder that has corn starch base and the a specificity a specif the carcinogen the the suspected cancer causing elements so that's another thing that johnson and johnson will continue to do is sell their corn starch based products and this was especially dangerous because a lot of babies. do use for a lot of babies but how have these allegations affected the company financially and i mean i'm sure they have. right and i think it's been a bit of an up and down but this morning for example i think it was actually up like some point 35 percent somewhere in there to be selling for almost just under one 151498 little over $149.00 a share so doesn't seem to be taking a big hit but perhaps they are looking towards the future again $20000.00 lawsuits on this issue alone they've also been named as defendants some of these opioid litigations you've already had verdicts in fact on some of the ovarian cancer

litigation we've certainly seen those verdicts in the opioids so this may be one of those things where they're trying to prevent more damage from being done quick answer for me here molly but will more countries follow suit. it will be interesting to see like you said i haven't delved into that too much i'd would not be surprised one bit i mean if america the one that's usually last ray is the one to do it 1st brad's they're going to take notice and we'll see if there's more action after the coronavirus maybe it is a big preoccupation for a lot of other countries and consumers as well definitely distracting from a lot of the smaller barrels contributor with america's lawyer thank you for your time big sarah. for this time catch boom bust on the man on the brand new portable t.v. app available on smartphones through google play and the apple app store by searching for it will be as always talked about on youtube dot com flashing bus r t.
