and they're going to buy by everything same with the other 3 or 4 major central banks around the world this is what neil feudalism looks like. hello there i'm military and you're watching in question broadcasting from our to america's national news headquarters in washington d.c. we want to welcome our viewers from across the nation and around the world here are today's top stories 1st the race is on to find a job in $1000.00 vaccine the u.s. already granting some $1200000000.00 to a drug maker china's 1st clinical trials showing promising results. plus speaking of china chinese legislators today moving forward with a new security law in hong kong and beefing up their military budget the u.s. is already responding details in a full report then facebook and some major american investors are pumping billions

of dollars into india's internet giant geo so what's the deal going to discuss it all right it's time to boost your news i q. we are tracking the latest coronavirus numbers for you worldwide cases now topping over 5100000 with over 333000 reported deaths still leading the way the u.s. with about 1500000 confirmed cases and 94000 recorded deaths and as the world continues its fight against the pandemic the race is on for a vaccine. is joining us now in studio with more on this angle so what's the timetable we're looking at here are it's all goes well manella it could be as early as october that we could actually see some type of coded vaccine so right now we do have british researchers at oxford university. are moving into advanced studies and

they're aiming to immunize a little more than 10000 people to see if the shot works scientists say that they will vaccinate all age ranges from kids to senior citizens who we know are the most at risk but today a big announcement from the trump administration that the u.s. department of health and human services will grant up to $1200000000.00 to the drug company astra zeneca to develop a potential vaccine from that lab in oxford monella ok so let's say all goes well do we know how many vaccines are going to be rolled out all at once and if it even gets approved yet so astra zeneca said that actually is secured its 1st agreements for about 400000000 doses of this vaccine now adding that the company had secured manufacturing capacity for 1000000000 doses and it will begin its 1st deliveries starting september hopefully now some public health experts say that having that much by the by this october is pretty ambitious and it could be more like around 2021 that will see this vaccine but health experts they're also

factoring in trials being delayed even halted if the side effects do get too risky that kind of add more time to it but to counter if something goes wrong like in one study you have other companies being funded to also develop a different kind of vaccine what other companies are doing that so you have the biomedical advanced research and development authority monella that is under the department of health now they're getting out billions with a b. of dollars to mainly the 4 companies that you're about to see here you have astra zeneca getting the most but then you also have a durned out that just this week announced they're moving into phase 3 of their vaccine trials you also have johnson and johnson and then a french company santa fe who will be working not just on a covert vaccine but also the next flu vaccine as well so with 4 companies in creating this vaccine scientists at oxford they are still pretty confident we could have won by this fall listen here it remains the case. the.

but most of it it's entirely possible that it is not a transmission. in the road to be sure of time and you could make use of actually that schedule time frame that it's possible is early if you want to move towards the end of the year is that you could have results that usually you don't want to scare you. and so fair real quick we just heard what mr pollard had to say there there is news this morning about china conducting some vaccine trials what's going on with them right so a study published in the medical journal the lancet reports that actually china's 1st covert 19 trial the 1st study to actually reach a phase one in clinical trials it found that it's vaccine was safe and was able to generate an immune response against the virus in humans so already some positive news coming out of the 1st clinical trials monella but sticking with china we do have a group of senate republicans now introducing the coven $1000.00 protection act arguing that any future american covert $1000.00 research must be kept safe from quote

chinese sabotage and theft and it places the blame for this pandemic soley on china now the 7 g.o.p. senators led by florida republican rick scott wrote the act would require a thorough national security about you ation and it also gives clearance from the department of homeland security to the f.b.i. and the state department to investigate all chinese student visa holders currently working on vaccine research here in the u.s. now you do have the world health organization urging the rest of the world not to do like the u.s. and keeping this u.s. vaccine away from china but working together to get this vaccine out there quickly hopefully by this fall manila that's probably a good idea. with the update thank you. and brazil could soon become the country with the 2nd highest cove in 1000 cases health officials say the number of new cases spiked dramatically on wednesday right now brazil has some 310000 confirmed cases and about 20000 deaths that is compared to the number 2 country which is russia with about 300. 26000 confirmed cases but only 3000 deaths experts

believe brazil's numbers may be much higher mainly due to lack of testing. and the anti-malaria drug president trump admitted to taking is now linked to a higher rate of deaths among coronavirus patients a new landsat study of $96000.00 hospitalized coronavirus patients in 6 continents found that hydroxide cork when was actually linked to an increased risk of dying by over 35 percent and doubled the risk of heart arrhythmia medical experts say no one should be taking it outside of a clinical trial. and the 1st day of this year's legislative session for the national people's congress in china has already sparked protests as the country weighs new measures on hong kong and proposing a boost in military spending the u.s. is already responding artie's rachel blevins is joining us from the newsroom with the latest coming out of beijing rachel well manella washington is already

condemning the proposal hours after beijing unveiled its plan to impose stricter national security measures on hong kong which would specifically target acts of treason and so edition protests broke out in the hong kong legislative council as the proposal was sent to the national people's congress in mainland china for their approval to legislators were even dragged out of the chamber after they forced their opposition and argued that the new law would take away vital freedoms granted under the one country 2 systems policy protesters were also seen in the streets marking one of the 1st demonstrations as a mass lockdown due to the chrono virus put an end to months of protests which demonstrators said were meant to prevent china from increasing its power over the territory while the latest proposal is seen as beijing's response to last year's protests a spokesperson for the chinese foreign ministry argued the goal is to crack down on foreign interference. the national security laws legislation. you know on the

special administrative region do china's internal affair and no foreign country has the right do you mean the chinese government is determined by the safe guarding national sovereignty security and development interests. through the use of a policy of one country 2 systems and then opposing any external interference in hong kong. hong kong chief executive kerry lamb said on friday that she supports the proposal and she disagrees with those who believe the new restrictions would take away the rights and freedoms of the citizens but while the proposal may have the support of some leaders in hong kong it does not have the support of leaders in the u.s. in a statement secretary of state mike pompei i said quote the united states strongly urges beijing to reconsider its disastrous proposal abide by its international obligations and respect hong kong's high degree of autonomy democratic institutions and civil liberties which are key to preserving the special status under u.s. law the travel ministration has been unwavering in the support for the protest in

hong kong even at times when the clashes became violent some protesters were even seen waving american flags and calling for the u.s. to liberate hong kong trump ministration responded by signing the hong kong human rights and democracy act into law which gives the state department the power to assess whether the territory is maintaining enough autonomy to continue its trade relationship with the u.s. beijing is also expected to announce legislation that would increase china's military budget amid creasing increasing tensions with the united states and addition to public disputes over trade and the origin of the coronavirus the u.s. has continued to increase relations with taiwan and u.s. warships have increased their presence as well as the west brom errors which have nearly tripled their flights over the south and east china sea is this year but even if china does increase defense spending it still won't be anywhere near washington's more than 7 $100000000000.00 by. get reporting in the newsroom rachel

blevins r t. u.s. investors including facebook are pouring billions of dollars into indian telecom operator geo platforms all of that in an effort to get a slice of the booming telecom economy in india so joining us now to discuss is boom bust co-host and investigative journalist then swan so ben you and i talked about this a few weeks ago facebook making a big play to try to get about 9 percent stake in the telecom company who else are jumping in now. as we mentioned in the facebook do about 9.9 percent of cio technologies in exchange for. what was it a $5700000000.00 they paid and it's the most that they've invested in the company since they bought whatsapp for $19000000000.00 so $5700000000.00 came of facebook but now in the last few weeks we still see silverlake which is a big v.c. firm they put in $750000000.00 and then also another austin based company called

this stuff put in a $1500000000.00 stake and that happened just 2 weeks ago so we're seeing silicon valley really doubling down pushing into india right now and trying to get as big of a slice of that pie is possible so why is geo platform such a hot thing right now this hot commodity for private equity firms to hop in and especially right now at this time well look india is a huge market we all know that it is a growing market and one of the reasons that facebook got involved with geo is because facebook is trying to get into india multiple times before and it hasn't worked it's not been received well geo reliance and reliance industries in india is a huge company it has a massive telecom industry there but it also has created its own version of netflix there its own version of spotify there and so essentially what they do is they have the telecom industry and then they create these extra services as add ons that people can basically upgrade to and so they're pretty powerful across. the nation

of india i believe there are what 355000000 customers that belong to just geo reliance and we're talking about the population of the united states is their customer base in india so they're a huge company and they're pushing forward pretty pretty steadily right now and so on geo platforms is owned by someone called he's a billionaire we should say his aims to move cash bonnie his company reliance industries you just mentioned there are 9000000000 of equity stake in jail platforms has been sold to american investors in just the last few weeks namely mark zuckerberg so why is ambani making this play he's already a billionaire. well he is already a billiard he's not just a billionaire our viewers in india will recognise his name because he's also the richest man in all of india so when you hear his name there's a lot of power and a lot of influence there the problem is he's very very diversified including having a lot of holdings in oil and petrochemicals and so he's been losing money because of what's going on right now worldwide in terms of energy prices and oil in those

sectors he's trying to make up for it over here with reliance industries and with geo telecom specifically one of the things he's doing as you mentioned is he saw about 9000000000 dollars to american investors in just the past couple of weeks but on top of that he's also working a deal right now with the saudis and saudi arabia's sovereign wealth fund as well as abu dhabi sovereign wealth fund both of them are looking at putting them between $1500000000.12 respectively so between the 2 of them we're talking about another almost $3000000000.00 being poured into this company at the time it's a good thing for his company i'm not sure it's necessarily a good thing for the people of india when you have that many outside investors including you know the facebook's in the saudi or i mean in and buying large stakes of this telecom company i mean for the saudis and for the amerada they probably need to diversify their portfolio away from oil right now to flow you know maybe they got one remember. you know the saudis have been doing that here in the u.s.

they are major players in almost every major silicon valley tech company and they're now doing it in india as well and like you said a much bigger market there than here in the u.s. so we will see how this goes along with that tech update for us thank you. thank you. all right amid this pandemic tony blair son is now saying furloughed workers should be trained with new skills and that know the degrees are no longer relevant if the really stark contrast from his father and his father's opinion tony blair you might remember we're going to discuss that in the. over at sports regina hamm shares a much needed win for one team over and b.l. and to keep up with all the latest news and anything you might have missed make sure you download our brand new create app called portable t.v. right there right behind me you can watch this point i haven't won the battle to.

tony blair the former prime minister of the u.k. has woken up to a few punches to the gut in the press this week today his eldest son euan blasted his father's decades long platform of pushing for higher education in an op ed calling a college degree irrelevant and suggesting some sort of retraining for lower skilled workers that following our next guest eviscerating the former prime minister in his own op ed for r t dot com for suggesting kids in the u.k. should return to school amid this pandemic george galloway veteran u.k. m.p. is now joining us to weigh and so george 1st let's talk about the blair's i don't

know what's going on in that household but the 36 year old son of the former prime minister a private school educated lad his whole life also a yale graduate which is an ivy league university here stateside are his calls for dismantling and reassembling the education system in the u.k. a bit tone deaf and glib given all of this young man's privilege. well it's taken 36 years for me to be able to see agree with mr blair at least up to a point mandela i myself left school at 16 i went to war making enough i'm a graduate of the university of life and hasn't done me any harm and i have long been of the view the. increase in the number of people getting degrees only led to the cheapening all of the confidence the fact is we have far too many

sociologists gender studies graduates war still of all media studies. enough tradespeople. yet it's men and women not enough mathematicians not enough sun time one of them engineers not enough people that can hammer in the street or even change. where do you are going to get a puncture i mean that's 5 flawed that's really a flawed system right let's explore that a little more i mean to this man's credit to the younger. sons credit here mr blair barring the source of the comments he does have a point given that in many countries like my own here in the u.s. we have scores of young adults saddled with 300-4050 is 100000 in debt after graduating university with some very marketable degrees some of which

you mention they are even unable to fix a leaky toilet in their own home if they had to deal with that americans are no longer producers in the way they used to be perhaps un you know wasn't the best messenger for trade schools but what about that what about trade schools i know we need them here in the us. well trade schools are a thing of the past here are evening classes are people improving their skills in work i think the as it has been for me education should be a lifelong thing not something that you do for 3 years and saddle up the giant debt and then come out into a market place which increasingly has no place for you and does not even pay you enough money actually to repay your student debt which therefore hangs potentially around your neck more or less for ever and in our case maybe also in yours why it

leads to is relying on other people other countries labor forces to do your jobs if you're looking for a brick road to join are or a glazier or a plum are here in britain while you've grown used to calling the polish guy calling the remain in all the bull ghanian guys well he's going home know that we have left the european union and we simply have a skill shortage in britain which is absolutely devastating for the economy when we were building the olympic stadium in london in my london constituency i went to see the minister to complain that not enough people from my constituency were getting jobs on the site though all the workers were foreigners journalist she said to me and she was telling the truth there are no there are no applications from your

constituency are north trades people out of work in your constituency and that's been almost fatal for our economists or at least in this respect i'm with the blouse well out of one of them wow all right now younger blair ok we'll give it to him there and another very privileged man making waves for his cause. this week is prince charles now fully recovered from coded i presume his remarks were calling on furloughed workers to hop to the fields and pick crops and fruits of this year's harvest since the u.k. is short migrant workers to do it due to the pandemic what do you make of the prince's comments. i don't know why he didn't scramble his whole family all of them and we're already paying for them of course to get out in the fields and do it themselves i'll tell you this money on the hope you've never had to do it picking

potatoes is the hardest work that i have ever done in my entire life it is absolutely bricking and we're going to have to be people properly to do it that's why the workers won't do it because the wages are absolutely pitiful and that's why they have grown used to flying in cheap labor from eastern europe from central europe that's the system we've had for 40 years and i don't think you know that we've left the european union we are don't pick our potatoes don't pick our fruits or we're going to have to be people properly to do them and the workers are going to have to do the work those virus breaks that are going to make important sea changes in the labor market and in the skills of the british people and we're going to have to have an early wake up call on the i think i'm with you at this

time 100 percent on everything we just discussed today george though i have never picked the potatoes i once upon a time had a job peeling potatoes but that's a different conversation and now here we are speaking with george galloway it's not very it's not much fun either. my friend george galloway thank you. devastating tragedy in karachi pakistan this morning after a passenger plane with about 107 people on board crashed in a crowded neighborhood 2 people throw miraculously survived at the already suspect the plane's engine failed during landing at the city's international airport. and in a surprising turn of events jamal khashoggi is family have called for forgiveness. this of his killers one of cody's sons sala made the call through a tweet asking for the accused face and asked execution in saudi arabia to be pardoned last year 5 men were sentenced to death for the murder of the slain

terrible slump and hope there was reason gaming as a q. and heroes would change their luck but of the 1st giants have a runners on the corners here as pitcher jack brigham tried to pick off move to 1st but to get thrown away owing sunniest substance course 1st run of the game giants lead one nothing throw is just over that actually hits the guy 1st to thank the majors have a 3rd group that are parked along with the r.b.i. triple to keep left field and that all 4 goes left fielder to give him your name in both teams called level one pretty happy about that on the inning jennifer's face and lead a hall with a 2 run thing on the left field gets thrown a 2nd giants will tie it all it 3 the 3rd of the game and 8 r.b.i. the season for aliya so not to. back he would not give up top of the 5th any beautiful home solo home run by parked on long to centerfield visitors taking a $53.00 lead bomb and 6 joint center fielder mingling with

a double to left center field that will score 2 runs but an infield throwing error actually allows for one more gentle take that of course and now they find themselves up 7 to 5 and bottom of the 8th inning major leaguer former detroit tigers and killer dixon machado the r.b.i. double the center field and i'm home is the 3rd he is trying to score and he does giants believe 97 the score holds their night in the giants break their 4 game losing streak. which is pretty great i'm just hungry for some baseball i'm not getting any over here i have stayed up for these late games i or got up early i have stayed up late i can't go 530 but staying up for 1 am other saturday game is doable all right well we'll see how that many about thank you for that regina and that's all we have for now make sure you keep up with everything in question at all times by downloading our brand new free app portable t.v. watching their 20.7 i mean how much can you follow me on twitter and say me and you so.
