for addiction to prescription opioids. they did america under the banner of. the persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did those at their dose after dose if your dose and really became his drug dealer was to blame patients doctors manufacturers. greetings and sally. as i've stated before sometimes it takes a life or death crisis to reveal someone's true colors especially when it comes to our political leaders take us senate leader mitch mcconnell who this week showed us just once again how little he cares about the plight of the american people on

a recent conference call with house republicans discussing the you know the latest 3 trillion $1.19 relief package politico is now reporting that the corporate joel himself promised the beefed up unemployment benefits and acted earlier this spring will not be in the next bill and the mcconnell said that republicans are going to quote clean up the democrats' crazy policy that is paying people more to remain unemployed than they would earn if they went back to work in other words promising but the unemployment benefits keeping millions upon millions upon millions of u.s. citizens afloat during these times of crisis will be no more by the end of july essentially forcing you back into the low paying workforce to face the distinct possibility of death by coded for either you and your loved ones thank you mitch but fear not because mitch did reveal that he has some heart left in the. in that

in that husky calls a body his heart is just not for you according to common dreams on that same phone call mcconnell continued advocating aggressively for the inclusion of corporate liability protection in the next stimulus package in order to quote shield corporations from legal responsibility for workers who contract code 19 while on the job so basically the plan is to financially starve you in the back into your low paying jobs of adventure of servitude but if you can if you then get sick and die from being forced back to work you cannot legally hold the company you work for accountable financially or legally. or you or your family members well being welcome my friends to the real new world order of the united corporations of america and their boot licking political sycophants like senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and let's start watching the hawks. if you want to go

on a city street you want to. see this as this you always stay i'll see you. great see this least systemic deception is so which. so when you feel. welcome watching the hawks arguments i robot and i'm a nice across a measure of lots of true colors being shown this week. we want to take away your unemployment sends you back into work and you have no legal recourse if you get sick just work work work and if you die well you know so be it. out i want to say that obviously aggravated by it but i'm not necessarily surprised that it happened the pressure ation here is that a lot of individuals who will be faced with going back to work and not having any recourse are also in to. tools who don't have sick days and whose offices don't

provide them any type of health insurance benefits and so we're talking about your you know your restaurant owners for many of those that are closed down both bar where thinking about a lot of the a lot of the barber shops and things like that these are typically lower wage workers anyway and now they're going to be thrust into a system where there is really no way out for them no there isn't because if you cut those unemployment benefits benefits we're taking away someone's would be like docking someone's pay like $50.00 or 75 percent you know once you take that away and that's ridiculous to me it's like in a time of crisis we should be helping the american people we should be trying to set up and countries around the world should be doing this and many are you know i've always said 2 to $3000.00 a month full coverage on health care you know plus a freeze on rent and mortgage and things like that and people don't want to believe that that's possible well guess what most european countries are able to do that most other countries around the world are able to do that for their citizens were like the last when it comes to actually providing any financial help during this

crisis for the common folks for america to have always may consider the nation to follow this is one of those issues of many but definitely beyond where we continue to fall behind and they say that because you're right the majority of the belle of the world has bigger doubt a way not only to work through this crisis where their citizens are getting monthly monthly stipend their citizens are getting housing assistance a lot of things are happening to be able to kind of ease the below 1000 america is basically telling its workers it's bigger and out we need her tales to get back to the office but you know who's not who's definitely not feeling the blow of cold 19 apparently the billionaires in a new analysis released by americans for tax parents say i'm going institute for policy studies of all places titled it's called tale of 2 strikes as billionaires again as workers aim and they found that between march 18th march and may 19th the number of u.s. citizens piling for unemployment increased about 38600000 over the same to my. the

wealth of the united states billionaires has surged $4434000000000.00 an increase of teen per cent that's a massive number i mean we even recently found out was that the kanye became a billionaire during the corona crisis and he wanted to remind you of just how many billions he had once one magazine reported incorrectly off by $3000000000.00 the most interesting part about this is that there are always people who are going to make money off a crisis right now we're seeing that the billionaire class has taken off so it doesn't matter what's happening with the crushing of the middle class the way deep poverty that we're seeing across this country and the children and families that are living in it the billionaire class seems to always keep going even amidst one of the most disastrous things that need seen in recent years in this country we saw david geffen right at the start of the lockdown of the state home orders to do that wonderful little instagram shot from his big in the middle of the ocean i mean when they ask this like to have sympathy for them it's hard to it's hard to but let's

and you know the next time you see like the walton family. has been the torrijos lately which he got about a 48 percent rise in his wealth during the last 2 months they're always out there tweeting like oh we need freedom and we need to open up the economy and all this well yeah you guys are suffering but you guys you know why you want the economy i mean they're making so much money it's insane that they then would want to feed people to the to the grill you know feed people to the meat wagon that is covert 19 the other interesting thing to note the corporate europe observatory is now reporting that corporations are just fighting to put you back to work they're also now looking at being able to sue governments around the world for any lock down orders or any covert 19 response that kept them from getting profits i was that see i found that aspect completely and raging because there are protections for the corporations and we see those being created almost on a daily basis and they're not going to go under they're not going to have any they're not going to. any real blows but for the workers themselves if you are to

go back and you are to fall ill and asked to go with kobe $1000.00 it does not matter there is nothing that you can do not only to protect yourself but also in terms of a recourse should a business open before they have before they have all the steps then placed open thankfully it's crazy i mean the corporations are using this kind of little known system that goes by the acronym. it's investor state dispute settlement and it's when you have basically trade agreements between different countries the corporations get this backdoor loophole the observatory ports the quote in written alerts and webinars law firms are pointing their multinational clients to investment agreements vast protections for foreign investors as a tool to seek relief and or compensation for any losses resulting from these state measures this is absolutely disgusting and i hope that we don't see corporations suing because governments were trying to keep their population safe. all right everybody after seeing their season and playoffs cut short things to cope with 19

many and be a fans about to turn the n.b.a. 2 k video game you tubers like click productions to keep them virtually entertained but that doesn't mean that there isn't any n.b.a. news worth covering in fact probably pegs to be virus rooting the distraction of the playoffs in the finals journalists have been able to uncover this recent gem regarding an being or n.b.a. owner tom gotos whose portfolio not only includes the detroit pistons but also apparently makes significant money get this the prison industrial complex joining us now with the stories are to america sports producer regina gina thank you as always there when our bad news every time i cover like well you have done wrong in the sports world today because i feel bad talking about this because it's not like michigan and detroit hasn't had enough problems in recent days let's add to it so detroit prisons aren't. there's a billionaire who owns

a sports team so you know normally nothing else really matters were girls gets his money from a company called was it secure technologies many of these and many of those incarcerated or ever you know it's a church of soldiers provides a phone service to something like 3400 person about 1200000 inmates have access to this so gore is the guy you know he's the best he is worth about $5700000000.00 and he's part of that class you talk about that don't have to worry about getting sick because they'll test all the time so he makes his money through platinum equity there's a 40 company portfolio and securest technologies is under that umbrella and it's actually one of the biggest money makers for him so what happens is in prisons prisoners do make a wage it is not a livable wage by any stretch of the imagination and so when they make a phone call using curious technologies if they are charging exorbitant fee offered sometimes of $20000000.00 sorry see me $20.00 or 1015 minute phone call they're not making that kind of money in prison so that other you get his money he's been touted as wonderful guy by bloomberg but you know maybe take that with

a grain of salt but he's been touted as helping the city of detroit recover he's a pioneer for calling capron it of all people but the hope obviously is he's trying to promote i'm this good guy image gave money off of african-americans hispanics in prison. which is the one of the things that happen it is fighting against so how can you be in favor of someone like this who makes money off of the suffering and sometimes false imprisonment of african-americans hispanics and then you know say oh i totally support this guy i'm behind his reasoning it's it's illogical it is pretty logical absolutely i like that you point those things out because it shows that you know there are 2 sides of the coin that is of course and if this point i don't think that he's somebody who can stand by collin kaepernick or anyone who is fighting against criminal justice reform when he's someone who's profiting off of it so that in he is also profiting beyond just the jail system in the prison system in terms of the phone calls he has been to his company has been awarded nearly 8.

getting contracts from customs and border patrol so he's actually making money hand over fist because of trump's push to get people out of this country exactly and that's the shocking part is that this is a sports owner we like i mean obvious for its owners they have make their money from other places just in the sports and we all know that it's a common factor but when you look and you pull away that veil and you pull away that shield as the time with no sports now allows us to do you're seeing these guys aren't as great you know you have mark cuban as dallas mavericks he is a rare example i'm sure he has some not great things in his past as well but he's a great example of how to be a bennett a champion for not only his team but also his workers he's one of those people paying his workers during this furlough during the time there is no sports is a great thing i don't think gore is doing that start and now if he was he's going with money of that he it was a blood money is not blood money but it is you're getting that money off the backs of people who are suffering then as a sports owner you want to maybe take that step back and look a lot of people on my team as an n.b.a. owner are black i am now getting money not only from prisons where there is

a large afternoon population i'm also getting from customs and border patrol which has been questionable lately for what they do with illegal immigrants and it's almost time set back if you're a shareholder in a sports team do you want to look and i want to be associated with this layer so when i was once in a money because we're looking at what's happening in the prisons there are a lot of people dying and being mistreated every day and we know that those who have been taken into custody at customs and border patrol also are dying we have those numbers so i would definitely say that do you think that government organizations team owner should be able to have this type of relationship with a government organizations where they are profiting significantly off of our taxpayer dollars and government institutions that's a good question because they're also the ones who go to the government say please build a store stadiums over the l.a. lakers actually get some that protection money from the government. they give it back but they still got it bad part of the problem and you're seeing sports organizations like this is a tough time for everybody we understand. we are all suffering financially but to

be able to be like you know i mean over the government for help here not you and then you have owners who preach i am a champion of my people you know i'm champions of our fans of our players some of who are hispanic african-american you know non white players and you get money from government a.j. that pretty much don't align with what you're preaching is hypocrisy and they should be taken to task for it well i mean hopefully he does overly overly he sees the error and you know when you see the news reports like this i mean this was pretty you know it was about yahoo and other major publications and news like hopefully he will see that in the pushback against that from the community if that happens and the n.f.l. players coalition oh yes not forget about that too yeah i did forget about the n.f.l. players but we have to get absorbed on a time where we're getting the n.f.l. next we know that they're bad news for next i don't know n.f.l. is not doing good either but. i want to thank you so much for g.m. always a pleasure having you on thank you so much thank you all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand or the brand new portable t.v.

which is available now on all platforms and coming up we are joined by author d. walk ins to discuss his latest piece on highlighting the life and times of a very interesting to say the least corrupt in baltimore you do not want to miss this conversation stay tuned to watch the. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. culture on earth has prohibitions against. the same time. virtually

every culture and nurse her wards you enormously if you've killed the right person and in one setting it is the most horrendous damaging seeing them actionable and in the other setting is one thing that they will give you a medal for that people will vote through you because of that the people will mate with you because you're good at it to mean that's what i'm saying. happened and you know this one of the highest in my town swayed both the food. bank itself more dixie it. was in this way got set up so hard not to think of the other disappeared this moment the look ahead and open this door up and if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights a use whom the weight. of

the floor you can move off the feet without a visible facility that the grabbing hold of even at the foot of a. what i think is this is the funds that is accompanied. but if i tell you that everything you thought you knew about that movie the matrix is wrong. baltimore maryland is known for its diversity both the n.f.l. team and produces one of the best t.v.

series a modern history the wire baltimore is also home to america's world renowned johns hopkins hospital but despite having many great traits the city has been plagued by scandal drugs and violence the police relationship with the black community is fractured at best gun violence has overtaken much of the city and the black and blue divide couldn't be greater common ground or shared experience aren't typically things that come to mind when you think of black kids growing up in the hood and the white kids who grew up to believe them but dig deeper in a much anticipated new article 2 men from baltimore's rough and tumble east side one a young black man and the other a white cop crossed paths in an interesting way in his latest piece only a mile in a big world separated us author of the walk ins outlines his baltimore experience juxtaposed with that of discourse baltimore police officer danny herself joining us now is author and editor at large the lawn dot com. welcome.

why don't we thank you to going to harry thank you always a pleasure to be. so your article delves into some of the gritty it's parts of your life and upbringing in baltimore it paints a picture of life at the center of the world drugs what that environment was like for you and how you view how you were viewed by the outside world and you just suppose this with her soul who grew up not too far away but had what you described as a system that traditionally rewards mediocre whiteness yet he had a tragic downfall where you excelled what do you attribute this to. the system you know everything that had it against me he kind of the head on for him soul you know so my son my son a fair street one side of history could argue over you can go to jail for. up in the street and on his side. if he was going to jail or if you got if you got a lot that a lot of times people go to prison. discipline you know where you have

a clean record and then when they do you can be a lot guys like me. you know it's interesting because because i think just so people understand is what kind of a guy was her soul was a colleague what was he charged with what was he convicted of like who was this guy . so as crazy because talking to his family and talking to his friends i think that he was a regular police officer type of police officer who would knock a couple of people off and. want to street maybe studio $50.00 maybe to $100.00 of us but it wasn't something like that with these guys probably going to trace task force that he started working on the way he does that you are. actually still real money he will knock you over that he. was looking 410-152-0000 i was so easy like a he's showing your record here needed to be

a part of a criminal enterprise they hid behind a bad to use the bass to go out and commit crimes in the christening of up at the backlash. i have them after all this is a lot of people said oh this is bet it was bad it was and as i always say if it's a few bad apples you know where all these great cops out here scene with their friends are doing and i say anything to the feds that then you know they're sick i decide to go through great pain as a scribe or a sore for baltimore police officer turned convicted felon you humanized him in many ways in the are you know in the piece you also outlined the abuses police regular pose they're threatening behavior as you mentioned they are lawful searches at one point you mention a cop telling you that you were nothing nothing how did the other exam that was personal how did this experience has shaped the lens with which you saw and in choosing to write this article what you saw or. you know screams even if you accept because i could not write this article or early in my career oh god now though i've been around enough and

a lot of conversations with officers billions for thai officers i'm going to chance to really look at my old life evolved journey through the lens of a guy you know i just went down i go oh oh oh you know i'm out of stuff so looking back at it i think that. early in my career what i wrote about a police officer is i didn't even think about the human side because they were human they were human because of how to introduce me and are friends now that i'm older and i have more experience that is i have the room has. to say to the way things happen to meet their force needs to make bad decisions and do bad things is kind of similar to saying things that happen today force them to make bad decisions or do bad things it's like i've got the luxury of being a scholar of these different books and travel and all these different places and studied different things maybe if and i'm not i'm not send he gets

a pass for what he did because i still feel like it's a terrible person but maybe academic. really if you want to be good want to have some of the experiences that i had then maybe the way he put their black the way he looks at black people would be different the way to look at is joe i mean himself in a context of what he's actually here today will be different and you probably want to be in general no. andy i've read this piece now probably 3 times and i think why revealing some may think quite revealing and you didn't you weren't speaking for like that out of out of corners you dug deep speaking about your own experience and participation in the drug game what was your motivation for including that part. because i think as a narrator it gives it gives me more credibility to begin to talk about you know i'm not perfect i'm not a perfect person i can't sit on my perch you know because i said that you know i

work with these young people and i just really didn't work i can't sit back and act like i've never done the wrong things so people need to know what i overcame well he's made mistakes and he didn't realize the error of his ways and he works really hard to change that and. the difference between being a person is that he still he's he's a gentleman right now still writing letters to the local newspaper the baltimore sun some of them that he's innocent even though the mountains of mountains of evidence a lot of which are out of our county and that's just a difference of people who need to know where i was coming from and. so he can really understand why i'm qualified to make these are you know we get a little bit of time what poor person was arrested the entire family based on a young rapper is you tube video he used his power to attack the black community unlike most cops he actually didn't get away with it as we mentioned he was convicted and sent to prison for schemes to rob people and cut drug deals and other crimes was this a level for police accountability was there any accountability that came away from

from his arrest and incarceration. absolutely at the $43.00. i bought a mobile in a consent decree so this was like the big huge federal police reform that you put into cities to be needing to change to bring about change and herschel actually join you kind of the country's task force where he learned how to steal money and over time in a more effective while we were under consent decree so they absolutely positively marked nothing. while. he did this in reform. one glad that you planned that out because a lot of people assume that once somebody gets arrested if you can get to that point where there is a conviction when there are you know crooked cops out there that that is something we should hang our hats on because that is a move towards accountability i like that you pointed out that there are still some significant issues associated with that as well. what do you feel is what they're going to be moving forward to where does all this go forward. as it as it

stands right now and there's no way for it to go forward because the same system is continuing to eat a self we have the same leadership speak and use the same one with the still saying things like oh the outcomes are mostly good there's a few bad apples and no you know i guess the comedian chris rock if you were going to the airport and he said most of the problems and good he does have a few bad apples that can't really when. you know sometimes you can't have bad apples and people are really and then i would approach in the truth and end up thinking about the chief in the truth is that the problem is the best and needs to be. done and the really to change and so you dig up the roots of those problems you're going to continue to see the same thing and that is that is a lot of our i've already got breath already principle reason i was from is out and already that's not just baltimore that cities across the united states of america thank you so much for the good work you do d.

it's very important people learn these things always a pleasure sir. thank you you guys have a blasphemer. all right everybody has our show for you today remember one in this world we're not told the real love them up so i tell you all i love to roll them for and i'm amazed keep on watching those hawks never a great day and night everybody. go to work. straight home.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did. after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers. mean the cost in charting the future we depend any good theory to proceed it is time to assess the economic damage is the crisis change the global economy and if there's going to be recovery. and are there lessons to be learned.

there's enough. but most of the most companies he knows gives his. stump speech almost janish he goes from didn't you know to speak to c.b.c. . to a coke. machine if you. look at it. they. will tell you a list too. welcoming

our viewers from around the world to life from central london this is r.t. u.k. . chancellor issue soon nike is expected to tell firms to share more of the bill for their 1st load workforce under changes to the coronavirus job protection scheme that as the u.k. government has warned the test and tray system could push those affected into financial difficulty i'll be joined by an expert in social mobility. m.p.'s get ready for a return to parliament next week despite concerns about safety and social distancing i'll be joined by d u p m p jim cameron. it's revealed the u.k. government rejected a plan by public health officials to lock down care homes and protects the most

vulnerable residents. and the number of councils advising schools to remain closed continues to grow despite the government's phased reopening in england from monday we hear from the parents backing the boycott. welcome to r.t. u.k. the chancellor is expected to announce changes to the furrows ski with firms being told to pay more towards workers' wages that as the government is urged to increase sick pay and meet fears the test and trace system could force those told to isolate into financial trouble or in this hour to u.k. shut it up especially joins me now by the idea so what is the chance expected to announce later so charles what is expected to announce some key changes to the government's further scheme of course originally intended to only be running up

until the end of june for the trials extending it well into october that will be 8 months at the fed a scheme will be in place and up that point will be costing the government $80000000000.00 pounds of course a huge chunk out of. the government's wallets now remember when the chancellor was announcing this extension it also came with a bit of devil in that detail particularly regarding the fact that the government wants to share the cost of that burden with private companies so today is a day that the chancellor will be unveiling that detail a little bit more closely so employers will have to pay a 5th of their employee's wages that's around 20 percent as well as nash and sure it's and pension contributions so workers paycheck from all this will be a less a burden on the government as it were they now pay 60 percent of wages capped at $2500.00 pounds a month leaving employers to foot the rest of the bill the government currently pays 80 percent as i say so far $8400000.00 people across the united kingdom have

been furloughed and it has cost $15000000000.00 pounds every single month the problem is the employers will have at this point less incentive to keep workers on yes it's only 20 percent that they're being asked to pay but for some businesses that could really hit them quite hard so many workers could actually see that their jobs will be up in the air now all of this fellow scheme change is to do with the government's a get britain moving once again scheme to try and get the economy back on track we do understand the chance of may try and look at introducing an unveiling even more changes to the system potentially whereby workers could be offered a part time basis to go back to work as well as being furloughed but all be revealed today in the government's daily press briefing but of course for the chancellor it's a very difficult balancing act indeed indeed also there is the track and trace system as well i mean what kind of impact will the have on people so we're 2 days into the launching of this new trace track scheme but we already are seeing some

huge teething problems particularly over whether or not people will be able to afford to self isolate so the scheme works in such a way by if you were to get a phone call from. and of the 25000 traces across the country telling you you've been in contact with someone with 19 you yourself will have to self isolate even if you don't know not showing any signs or symptoms of 19 now if you get that call you will be granted such sick pay but that is only $95.00 pounds every single week and many would argue that workers simply cannot afford to live off that $95.00 pounds a week which would force them back into work and therefore risk the public's safety and health as well particularly it would undermine the entire scheme in the 1st place but also to add workers could be called a numerous times within a space of a few weeks currently it's voluntary thing but the government is saying if it's not indeed being abided by the government will happily enforce it in

a mandatory out way shape and form meanwhile then the office for national statistics have claimed the job vacancies in the lower paid industrious have decreased just over 60 percent of those have lost their jobs between $15000.00 and just under $25000.00 so it's a pandemic began the hospitality and catering industry to a large it in the number of vacancies available decreasing by a staggering 86 percent and the retail industry also soared decline in the number of vacancies with a 70 percent decrease from the start of the crisis so with all of this the changes to the furlough scheme the lack of jobs available and indeed the introduction of this new track interest scheme could really hit the lowest paid the hardest. shadier thank you very much indeed well to discuss this i'm now joined by professor of social mobility leigh elliott major who coauthored

a study about the impact coronavirus on the younger generation professor and i do think very much indeed for joining us i mean you've written about the impact on the the so-called code generation who does not include. so we're looking at those broadly on the age of 25 and we think that sadly the cross will have a bigger impact on the younger we call him a code generation than other years and that's a combination of factors that because you know we've had these huge learning losses from children not attending school not going to avert a state but also they economic impacts a lot of the sectors that are suffering the most do have a lot of younger workers so sadly this is this is going to really hit the younger generation what does the government need to do to lessen that impact. so we're suggesting a number of things one will be a national tutoring service where we think

a lot of those graduates that might be facing unemployment could do really good valuable work by to train disadvantaged pupils around the country that have lost learning we're also calling for guaranteed employment for a lot of those people you were talking about earlier that will be facing our employer and again we could do very valuable jobs and we're suggesting that there should be a one off wealth tax and that's really in trusting because of course a lot of the wealth resides in the older generation the older generation and we're suggesting that you could pay for some of this stuff and indeed help the recovery by having us a one off tax on only on the very wealthy we're also looking at the wider picture every age group is hit hard by cave 90 do we actually have the resources to be able to help every aspect and every generation. it's always a balancing act this and you know. one of things about education levy you see it

all recessions and indeed pandemics is that there isn't as much money for things like education as as you would like so you're always having to make tough calls i just think we you know believe that those younger with the whole lives ahead of the shouldn't suffer disproportionately because because of this and that in in many ways i think it's a sort of you know just between the generations that those of us including myself i would put in this bracket those of us that are in that 50 in a bar maybe could do more for that younger generation and that will hold us a good stead as a country for decades to come this these issues are what we're realizing i guess are much more long term generational issues now you know with a lot of discussion has been about the short term shocks of coded. and many of those been tragic i think now where we're starting to realize the long term scarring effects and that's what we believe should be addressed also there

professor talk as you said about the short term impact as well as then look about the future in the economy i mean could we see you next changes get the country back to work or does this also mean mass redundancies. well again you know so we are suggesting that. we should really avoid the the long term unemployment trends that you saw in the in the early eighty's the 198980 s. and that's because long term unemployment is incredibly damaging for people so our suggestion is that anyone who if i'm self unemployed for more than the past 12 months we should think of jobs for those people and they could be jobs where you perhaps help make you know if a greener society or as i said earlier it might be a contribution to tutoring you'd have to think about your rustan's and safeguarding for all that but it could be about 2 trillion helping other younger pupils we think

it's the costs up front for providing the pay for those jobs is less than the long term cost that you incur for a long time are employment and i'm sure that's something that we'll hear from the chancellor later as well professor lee and it major many thanks for joining us thank you. for the u.k. so nations are lifting their coronavirus lockdowns off to scotland wales and northern ireland announced they'd break with prime minister boris johnson's plans for england after $66.00 days the scottish government has eased measures with new guidelines on gatherings. from today you in your household can meet with another host sort out of doors that can be in a park or in a private garden however you should limit the total number of people meeting up to a maximum of 8 ideally it should be less than that you should not meet with more than one host saw a table and please don't meet with more than one other host sold per the if you do

meet up you need to be saide and you need to stay at least 2 metres away from people in the other host thought you should also try to avoid touching the same hard surfaces well scotland entered lockdown at the same time as the rest of the u.k. but high road opted to keep the full measures in force despite them being eased in england for the past 3 weeks the welsh government has also kept the full lockdown in place though 1st minister mark great food has also announced a partial lifting of restrictions from next monday people from 2 different households in the same local area will be able to meet up so long as they are outdoors and dreaming tarrying strict 2 metre social distancing armed hand hygiene. by local we mean not generally travelling more than 5 miles and that is to reduce the risk of coronavirus spreading. well i'm like scotland the

welsh government has not placed an upper limit on the number of people who can meet outdoors however as is the case in the rest of the u.k. only 2 households can meet and a stretch to me to distance must be kept between them at all times. well on thursday the prime minister announced that in england parties of up to 6 people can meet outside from next monday the country will also introduce a phased reopening of schools from next week but both the scottish and welsh governments have refused to follow say it with schools in scotland not expected back until august. and i'll be discussing the lifting of the lockdown with a medical expert in just over an hour. now m.p.'s are set to return to westminster next tuesday despite concerns over social distancing outside the houses of parliament inside the houses of parliament welcomes leader jacob riis margaret quested to end part remote sittings to set what he called an example to the rest of the country but in a letter addressed to m.p.

use the house of commons speakers said the public health england had advised against voting in the lobby is based on the latest professional advice from public health england it is clear to me that the house simply cannot conduct division safely by the lobbies know that i have agreed to a recall on tuesday it is for the government to decide what proposal put votes in it wishes to put forward. i mean they've won this and i'm joined by the day of peace and peace is trying to change sham intensity for joining us how do you think about returning to the commons. i suppose to be honest with you from a part of his apartment taryn kit i think i'm probably. glad that the opportunity for scrutiny of government will be available for us next week it has been all obviously at home here in the office where i've been. working by myself i find

that contact with with constituents enough the grip and so the contact with different sets is a little not the same so it was just tell us we can't meet them ideology we don't talk me to cite so all conversations and communications are taken his fight for or by laughter or via email or the stuff in the office they all work from their old home so therefore contact with them husband has been not next to 0 was well i have one stuffed member whose child has severe asthma like superior so therefore she thought the idea for 30 minutes i haven't seen not cared for 11 weeks so well i'm looking forward to resuming some sort of normality sometime maybe the 2nd or 3rd week in june when we can resume my business in the office perhaps an a and a conductor's and son and strict way when it comes to self doesn't say but also be able to to renew contact directly with stuff numbers almost a well given jim a lot of point the space as a social distancing coming down i mean what the government suggests and is going to

say well i will depart and justin has going to work 1st as you mentioned the point very key point and i'm aware about this morning because we we had our telephone conference parliamentary conference this morning which we always have been fighting between then and tim and we've discussed stuff when it comes to divisions in the lobbies the government has said that they will come up with a system whereby self distancing will take place when it comes to voting in the law based i'm not. sure hard to hold the work to be able to take it but they have said they have a methodology and place to make that happen next week we will have a script for 3 days with a script they will that of the of the of the masters that's really important because up until now has been a script that whenever you're doing virtual parliament or doings and you're not in control of when you will speak in a chamber yes controlled by by someone who knew and all get you there for your participation and the process of westminster is controlled it's what you have

always said to say as well that the online sessions that mean quite as insightful as they could be has i mean some have said that boris johnson had an easier ride at the dais on committee because there might question would you agree with that i took it to you and the same thing applies as well to interacting with your constituents as a script to be able to talk them by force and so on this with they but it's also better if we could meet them later we can have a contact with them a sort of hunch shaken dozens but we understand we can't because the circumstances therefore will go back to part of the next wave that will be to deliver the scrutiny that people want both the 30 and also to be fair to government government need to pick challenged when it comes to the. legislation that they're bringing through they need to see the need to have the challenge of questioning of investigative comments and questions from ourselves and on the opposition site and that's really important that the participation can take place age 10 shounen and pace thank you very much indeed for joining us but yet very bright face of the their liking.

across europe osce set to ease by the soma swedes could face possible exclusions due to its divisive coronavirus policy the country currently has one of the highest daily death rates in the world after deciding against imposing lockdown restrictions. and still to come this hour. it's revealed the government rejected a plan by public health officials to look down 10 homes amidst the coronavirus. and the list of english councils opposed to the reopening of schools from next week continues to grow we hear from a parent advocating a boycott if the government doesn't do they the plan.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of an. odd no team no crowd. no shots. factionalism belts because. you know well stress over there is 12. points your thirst for action. every single culture on earth has prohibitions against kill. at the same time virtually every culture on the earth more rewards you enormously if you use killed

the right person and in one setting it is the most horrendous damaging thing to match in the world and in another setting is a little wondrous thing that they will give you more medal for that people will vote through you because of that the people will mate with you because you're good at doing that sort of say. thank you welcome back it's been revealed as a radical proposal to lock down care homes and protect vulnerable residents was rejected by the u.k. government the 11 point plan by public health officials was proposed at the end of april but wasn't included in the subsequent subsequent strategy officials from public health england urge the government to use n.h.s.

facilities and other temporary accommodation to quarantine and isolate residents they also said authorities should consider whether staff could be moved into care homes for up to 4 weeks to reduce the spread of the virus and they recommended that stuff from infected care homes not be rotated into those that were still coronavirus free or government guidance only says on the side accommodation is for workers who ask for it and says staff should minimize risk in picking up code with 19 outside work it comes as data published by the office for national statistics shows more than 12000 care home residents in england and wales have died from corona virus with london's care sector being the worst affected they have been outbreaks in 38 percent of homes in england and 59 percent of those in scotland the government says that it is taking action it is taking action to protect care homes we announce 6000000 pounds to help tackle the spread of coronavirus including by limiting stuff movement between care homes as well as 1300000000 pounds to cover

alternative accommodation to isolate residents we also testing old cow workers and residents regardless of symptoms and delivering millions of items of p p e to the front line or discusses i'll be joined in the next hour by a former regional director of public health. resistance to the government's plan to reopen primary schools in england next monday continues to grow more than $35.00 local authorities are not express concerns they won't be able to do so safely meaning more than a 1000 schools are likely to remain closed. the latest to join the boycott is sheffield city council which has advised schools within the of 30 to delay reopening more widely they join the likes of lancashire county council which this week cited fears that a return of more pupils are to have to break could fuel a 2nd spike of infections locally and it comes after councils in birmingham essex

and several within want and also expressed concerns lancaster council said is school should continue with its current support services until the test interest and trace program have proven its effectiveness the testing trace program is not at a state of readiness to respond to cope with 19 community setting outbreaks in a timely manner which poses a risk to school environments furthermore we are not confident that adjustments to current measures of the lockdown policy will not risk a 2nd peak of infections locally consequently our advice to schools is to not reopen to more peoples on june the 1st but to continue with their current support systems that are in place well under the government's phased plan nurseries as well as primary students in reception year one and year 6 return for classes from monday and 2 weeks later secondary schools will facilitate the recent of year 10 and 12 students for exam preparation but department of education guidelines stipulate that classes should be a quarter of the usual size social distancing is

a day or 2 and services and hands are washed regularly. or joining me now is a parent whose community is preparing to boycott sending back their children saying that matter they've got thank you for joining us you are one of a group of parents who's prepared to boycott monday's return what are your concerns . well my main concern is that my son who may be going into school will come back with. the virus and tells me to turn to misunderstand me and then eventually the wider community. because i live with hundreds or misandry who while bilingual that's lament concerned and and from parents for safe return once went to group members and we are parents we are basically calling for a boycott of the wide opening of schools and that's june and we've organized meetings around the country to discuss concerns by the wider opening of schools all of us to. the belief that the schools open as soon as it's safe to do

so but the prime minister has made it clear that he has no intention of listening to the science is not supported the government's own sage advice and does not meet their own 5 tests and this that risk its interests are and more vulnerable in society and puts an ethnic minorities at risk it's every parent's instance to take their own children but there's not much of individual choice which helps. and then i just ask you this is something that's coming from central government but what has your council your local council given you any advice on what today. but really we've not really had anything from the council as a parent have not received any kind of service neither from my score the only 70 i have is that you consented to give your center child or not so now that hasn't happened and until the 5 tests are met. the trade unions and i don't think it is safe or must have to go back to school particularly the one to do with. having

a lower number of 1000 cases and at the moment number of peace actually going up stands and we don't have tests in place so until those that things are in place you know a bill not safe and it's not will be safe so. you know we cannot be sending our top general back with us to do is too dangerous well northern english councils are concerned as we've been hearing because infection rates are still higher there but the worst of the r.h. seems to be over in areas like london what's your area like. i know in barnet where we have one of the highest detection rates in london and recent reports come out and actually it rates in london are beginning to rise into come back up for some reason today actually released so by just one of the highest if actually raises the highest hospital admissions so it's not safe for schools and ballots actually open and it should be only be opening when when the test and

testing is in place when you've got a national cancer center distance you had a highly at nursery children especially children and you want children to eat to actually to sit and that's a big concern because my cello going into school in shows i can see there's not enough to push it hygiene been releasing the risk assessments and that's the main reason of ended say that i'm afraid we're going to have to have to leave here they're afraid of running out of time thank you very much indeed for joining us is it not that and thank you thank you i want you spend half an hour.

it's seemed wrong. rowles just don't call. any of these yet to shape out just they become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. our. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies too

in every state in the united states we've seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but this of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who is to blame patients doctors manufacturers other governments are. no more committed to something visionary recently sophie shevardnadze humans on one hand full of. national science and on the other hand there are people of great

sacrifices why are we here such extremes i ask roberts the professor of biology in stanford university and a recipient of arthur foundation. the professor of biology and neurology at stanford university so great to have you with us because we have to talk about it so in our previous problem we were talking to a chair and director and screenwriter and your parents talk about this here factor you were a physicist medicine sickle forms and without that today's program would be tend to cater to where this fear factor comes from but in more biological ways i want to start with this so many times and heard this expression humans are the most dangerous animals on earth he said the world to trace the origins of human behavior and you know how our brain works and what drives us to tell me is the.
