the fact that it is an exploitative society what that reminds us is this society is not our society it's run it is made up of run by and for a tiny exploiting class and of course they heroes are the ones who are celebrated in the culture that they call ours which is really this and of course for the mass of the workers and exploited around the world these people are not heroes ok but it's a reminder of a material reality that we live in a world of exploiters and exploited and that is what is the cause of racism racism comes from the need to divide workers against one another it comes from the need of the imperialists in particular to justify their walls and their colonial conquest on the basis that these people can take care of business and not grow not they not i mean the you know the the the way that it was and colonial exploits have been justified have subtly developed over the years but essentially come back to the

same saying we have this white man's burden to take care of everybody else and it is it's not really about white and black is it you don't have to be white to be racist you don't have to be black to be a victim of racism the europeans were being conducted programs against the jews before they ever saw a black person the british were conducting programs against the irish that's all they ever had a friend african caribbean and indians you know to be racist against therefore they had ill you citizens to be racist against which has been our most recent target and of course you know the arabs in between because we're waging war over the middle east so for me this is somewhat of a diversion i'm happy to see the back of the statues but if it just is a question of looking at statues and taking them away whilst doing nothing about the roots this is limit is it why does it change exert georget exactly half of diversion is needed a bill that's now. oh i see it all ok that i offered to address social inequities

absolutely ok but you know george there's this whole movement it's anchor in the present there is no any past is adulterated it's dirty it's toxic and it must be wiped away i mean how can we address in the quality inequities without knowing the structural process they created in the 1st place and that's all in history ok and as far as you know seeing the bad status that's a totally different question and i think that we should talk about that i think we should talk about what statutes mean but this is this is the taliban and it's a ship of western culture if you don't like it you don't understand it you just roy go ahead joe. yes absolutely and of course the taking down all statues is a process that's only just begun it goes it isn't going to stop with robert's

unique because you know next up of this league of the founding fathers washington and jefferson they were slave owners woodrow wilson retrograde views on blacks f.d.r. japanese americans and with martin in winston churchill's pearl in a box ok can i do not go exactly so you know winston churchill who was a been an icon icon and that much you know europe and united states for us since his death more than 50 years ago is now a reviled figure because he's an impure so everything else that he has done you know his wartime leader of the get forgotten is just and he parrots but one we know that this is a fraud is that if you really want to oppose imperialism if you really want to oppose. powerful rich powerful countries exciting their will on weak countries which are none european nonwhite than oppose what the

united states the united kingdom and france the imperial powers are doing to syria right now i mean there are there conflicting there was brutal horrific sanctions and causing the misery that oppose what they did in libya destroyed a perfectly well dublin state for god knows what reason and it's and now they did this is a country in which they reintroduced slate so that there's a country where you actually after own going slave trade not the transatlantic slave trade 400 years ago but not only going slave trade in libya again not silence about that or the pressure that's of the sanctions against them venezuela again latin american country and you know the the you know nonwhite people say nothing about that so. well then here's the purpose of refighting the battles from 150 it's like i mean i think i know the answer to let's go back to bristol john d. i know the answer that it in use that you alluded to it is that no one in the

elites here do not want to talk about class that's like kryptonite to these people they don't want to talk it's all because of racism it's not because of class and that way that is actually a very soothing and comforting thing because you know having this purity tests that you clyde of people get on your knee take the knee and all these other things you don't you know address the structural problems of why there is racism in why there is and why there's growing desperation i mean look the phrase was attributed to george floyd but i think it has applied to it least half the united states i can read and it's because of the structural inequalities the been built in and we have all these woke people that makes them build privileged even don't they don't they don't know anything about history they don't understand exploitation they're even know that they're being exploited. i mean 100 percent or so many points there and what you said i could pick up on that symbol that resonated with people so much

about george floyd's desk it wasn't just that it was another policeman the way that it was filmed so we could see the cold blooded nature of his killer he was so calm the need to the net and the words of the dying man i can't read your lap for that to resonate with you that mismated across the world because that is the experience of the oppressed and exploited masses everything that it's all great they have that need in the neck from imperialism they hate alleys and then and their children and you can't raise and that really resonates and that's why it is as you say about close and the system and not about purely black and white and racism at least pilots and america all the. of course those things. are many of the inequalities but really why has expanded now in such a way it's not only the power of this particular merger it's also the fact that

it's come on top of as you say a situation where the economic crash which is the biggest accomplishment is in a pretty used combined with the health crises are being disproportionately as always built by the poorest and of course the poorest in the imperius countries are more likely to be black if you're black you're more likely to be poor so that desperation is coming from people losing their jobs having no health care suffering from the crisis the most suffering most from the health epidemic and being in the middle of all of this and of course it's very safe for a law to say this uprising and they scams and what they don't want is us to get together and say this is this system is a problem and we must get rid of it so what they were very happy to do is jump on a narrative that encouraged sections of the working class to despise one another and spend their time in the end fighting one another and you know being made absolute pulls out of on both sides of this argument i mean we saw in london this

week you know working class white guys doing literally fitness aleuts churchill steps you can't make it up you know in their attempt to defend what they see as their culture it's not their culture on the other hand you've got you know they're being pitted against you know angry working class black and asian people who are feeling like they've had enough of the inequalities in the system both sides of bad also suffering from the inequalities inequities of the system and its inability to provide basic security in really simple things like jobs housing health care education you know it's the rulers who benefit from all of this don't. and this this this putting us down into silence of what color are you and christian hierarchy you know the better you want the more oppressed you are the more kind of just you are to my knowledge

e right you know you know george one of the things i find really quite sickening is that you have the amazons and him silicon valley and you know put on their website black lives matter and you know what that is pure genuflection and it's at no cost of them whatsoever it doesn't affect their bottom line it's it's an amazing cultural cover for them because if amazon actually tears about black lives then why does he treat its workers like certs ok no jeff bezos gets. a free card out free card out of jail because he can say you know he takes a knee but it doesn't affect his bottom line is better but he's become what you've been more obviously rich during this crisis. exactly and so what has happened is that this one black clad math movement has been co-opted by these are. all these other. silicon valley to whom this is you know pure symbolism

i mean if these those really cared about black lives it could well for one thing raise the wages of all the people who work for him it doesn't he got them in. union organizing at his workplace it doesn't mean there's no same goes for jamie diamond same goes for all of the all of these. silicon valley billionaires that you can organize so all of those things that will actually affect their bottom line they don't know and what do they do that they actually. use this black lives true or show their sapir iorio to their work laws because it's their workforce that his race is not that you know. with the c.e.o.'s with billionaires we don't we're not racist but you you miserable a blight says you know who barely make it you make your rent payment you are rates and i will show you how terribly retrograde you are as

a listener as they go to the game late so there's really nothing radical about it because we know what's right and we know what a radical movement is a radical movement is well look what you had with the bolsheviks you had a masters of support they will direct appeal to the last directly a feeling you're not going to go to a break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion mochas them. one else seemed wrong all rolled just don't call. me. yet to see how disdain. and endangered. the trail. went to find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

the simple things workshops and petersburg public spaces where adults with learning disabilities can engage on equal terms with creative activities like graphics sewing ceramics. cookery and joinery. just giving you shit what's in your records. or if you know what just is what did you give one case to come up with. the underlying idea of the workshop is a calendar of happiness which they feel thrilled to find joy in the little things and.

the take away then from this. where it's a $2000000000.00 negative net worth company worth $400000000.00 and they're issuing an initial bankruptcy offering fresh deal of stock they take away the news the information the fact is that has nothing to do with the current company it what it says is that the dollar is collapsing the dollar has entered a high burn area collapse and this causes people to run into things like fictitious stock markets as we've seen in zimbabwe as we see in venezuela this is what's happening in the united states right now as of today. ah no no. no

shots. actually go. well. no it's. point she her thirst for action. welcome back to cross talk were all things are considered i'm peter all about trying to discussing some. of you let me go back to georgia right before the break you were making a point what i think is really interesting in all this is that among conservatives and people that are more interested in class like our guest in bristol you know i hear their refrain and really makes me worry say you know i'm not really interested

in this but the problem is is that localism is interested in you and they're commie for you go ahead george yes absolutely because what happens. workplaces at workplaces of jamie diamond and the workplaces of these laws is that white workers and black workers. a gauge. how do. you know that you're white and always be held to be racist and to be you know or had all kinds of news on things so you're going to have this constant tussle between the point where it was a work supposedly racism rather than over the fact that both of. almost no pay of work hours palling work conditions and all of the money being siphoned all through the people at the top i mean it's no accident that

these offices. give us a wealth you know what her i'm getting really and why not what. they did they argue about these statues and i've seen a lot of historical artifacts out of people but a statue with abolition abolitionists ok and they don't even know who it is oh but it's a statue of apparently about white guy who listens how insane it is just to let me go back to one of the things i find really terrifying in this is it 1st of all this whole locus of movement is detaches itself from the rule of what i did talk itself of merit i would say it detach itself from. being reasonable you can't argue with these people it's like you know argument the plot earth are ok and the problem is was i see is this the visions that are artificially created to set us against each other is it where is the limits if you take the knee or you lay on your stomach and you put your hands behind your back and then they

want more and more and more and when what this does is it creates an enormous amount of intimidation a chilling effect and then again it gets away from the very core basic ideas that we're trying to get across on this program. absolutely i mean if we want to understand where this work culture as you describe it identity politics where it's come from it's really something which has jumped into a space that was left by a retreating class conscious working class movement you know we my lifetime has been a lifetime of seeing that movement the working class in retreat you know the socialist countries were destroyed to my mind it's all temporary well you know history goes up and down in these last 40 years we've seen a retreat of working class forces and into the space these the working class demands equality for women. end of racism end of colonialism end of imperialism they were working class to much and they still are but what's happened is with the

retreats other class cultures leadership for the working class you have the chasm is a vision of these struggles and they've been transformed they've been put into separate so you don't no longer recognise that women's liberation is a class question that anti racism is a class question that anti imperialism is about class it's about the system of capitalism as well as imperialism you put them into separate silos and we've had this kind of bush was a fixation if you like of working class demands they become things that you study at university women's studies and the enemy is men and black studies and the enemy is white people you know and it's a wonderful safe narrative for imperatives and but this thing with the step she is as well what was was what is being pushed so hard by our media and that very much in support of the debate of a statue because we can all discuss history and imperious crimes become something as george said something from the parts imperialism is in existence now

and it's crimes are worse than ever you know look at those the playstation was in congo that been fought in the last 15 years how many millions. died so we can play our playstation while we're not on the streets saying congolese lives matzoh well at home without play stations ignoring it you know. absolutely. even does it say about how the rule is in this crisis to prove the white house cat everybody should have everyone in the street i mean if they could but then you know the debts it but that's there's such a vacuum of leadership i mean we our leaders are now part of the worst in my lifetime bar no i mean it's absolutely i mean we can start i bought off the cape there they serve a purpose here you know george one of the things i think i find very. just hard me is that if you really look at what's happened with the economy how it how it you know i could be exploded into the culture now into our politics here i mean this is

a real boom for the studies people because every you know to fight racism black lives matter wolk ism you need an equity counselor you need a diversity counselor you need it your person the chief in this apartment and you know what all those worthless agrees that have been burned up don't last 30 years there is upward mobility there but it what they do is you taking this paradigm and they're just reinforcing all the problems we have discussed here and it feels so great doesn't it if you're if you're the one that's there it's pointing you know if you're if you're a priest or a priest as in this church you're elevated ok i mean this reminds me of you know kids that were pot you know sit down and get on your knees you know you know and it's terrifying and you know what people are sit maybe going to this is extraordinary moment go ahead george yes yes exactly so what you're now creating

and i don't obviously didn't create it to some time is a farce administrative clouts reality parasitical. that we'll be. getting another boot on the neck over the world goes. because they will be there at every workplace to point fingers at employees who create a barely able to make a living that you are a terrible retrograde person you have terrible views of women who have terrible views on terrible abuse of homosexuals don't you need to be reeducated we however you know we have you know the degrees you know we're doing very nicely thank you very much so it will be good guest you know the burden on people who are already booked and of course that that's why the j.v. diamond and the rest the room was so happy with this great rio you know i work as would be even more miserable because they will constantly be up in the human resources office told what terrible people they are and how they must be educated

so to get out of. this period and then then it is to their it vanish this managerial professional class but have all these worthless degrees and high esteem about themselves racism will never end because that's their job ok to go to ever it was like in the soviet union to do ever perfect socialism you know i mean it's already perfect we're going to ever respect that a bit more they have no way knishes have to see this kind o. o. o. cultural terrorism to come to an end and if they do they'll just find another one i'll be sexism or something like. this though they make exactly what job. there is . yes i think george has really put his finger on something extremely important about all of this discourse and the constant substitution of the policing of language and symbols that language in particular when you policing language to the extent that they identity politics against police language what you're doing is

shutting people out of the conversation what you're doing is telling working class you better not look you know mouth as you much you know i come from a what if not to put my dad is india. amazing let's write something that makes backgrounds and through my lifetime the way people described that has changed and these days it changes so fast i don't know what i'm supposed to say. i mean i had a bit mixed race doesn't make sense to make it i think we're all human race so likes to explain to somebody else you know they get offended or my the hardware used the wrong word well well well said i have to do it and you know it's nothing and it being encouraged into smaller and smaller boxes you can only talk to somebody who has the exact same experience as you go to find you know often just be . stupid girl who was born in 1000 i can get a bike and it was another people you know they can't understand my experience so

we'll be you know we can maybe be allies but really you won't get my experience and i'll never get yours and when it's posing for the ruling class because we can never ever unite we're all in a little tiny little box it's getting fragmenting ever more and you know everybody else is the enemy everything you know you come a connect professional name naval case at me in my experience my playing you know that fundamentally none of this changes the system as you say it encourages more privileged educated workers to despise the ones who don't have their you know education and the right. to go to a lot was keeps the poor workers out of politics and discussion altogether until they just get it had enough of being despised they can feel that it's not since you know but they don't have the leadership to explain to them how and why it's nonsense and fundamentally we're really just pitted against each other wasting our time and our energy while the ruling class is pushing us all down and down and down

you know it's really interesting here that there was those some of the wildcat strikes georgia with amazon and there was a pretty remember the gentleman's name he was trying to organize the workers and you happen to be african-american. and i know you and i saw i know you saw some interviews with him and amazon said that he was let go because you broke social distancing and he's not very articulate which i thought was so amazing because i watched the interviews with him he was very articulate to me it was because he was articulate that's what they were rated go ahead yes yes exactly because of course what. jamie diamond and the rest of them afraid of is seeing a serious lead that he is organizing among the workers here is left out is the key to word or keep going like that and that's what you have to you know which one of the serious socialist revolution where the serious source of this revolution was russia and what did they do they organize among the working class and they

precisely said to not let. you know the capitalist bit you against one another that's exactly what they did little they going to bit you against one another tell tell you that he's the enemy not the easy enemy and that and that which you know that's not going to but now that the left as embraced identity politics all with the blessing of the richest men in the world then of the restraint in the lead and there is no serious or radical movement so we have these empty symbolism of taking down statues which as you know we've said earlier does nothing to improve anyone's life that it was that he was gone now to get back to work and minimum wage so this this then is the result of a complete sort of de frank all serious left they were brought out of time here this was a fascinating discussion we're going to keep doing it with both of you ok because i really think it's important for your research that's all the time we have i want to

thank my guests and good guys then in bristol and i want to thank our viewers for watching us here r.p.c. a next time remember us. you cannot be vulgar with yet you like. some control for a middle class type of

a night muslim are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that have either have some some health issues or have some of it out of strict about luck the whole time joel moon told me his pay for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. you better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted anyone that's homeless is history like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be paul in the world's richest country. is you'll be dia a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. safe. if.

if. if. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . the u.k. prime minister and the e.u. commission president agreed that there will be no extension to the brics a trade talks beyond the end of the year i'll be talking to a brick said expert. on essential shops in england to open their doors for the 1st time since the law down began on march the 23rd that's the expert who advised new zealand on successfully wiping out the virus says the u.k. should be knocking down not easing restrictions the question i wonder about is why are you considering an elimination approach could you do the tools and plans. of the report finds that 25000 patients were discharged into care homes without

being tested during the peak of the u.k.'s coronavirus infection. the government is urged to fast track the publication of a study into how to protect minority communities from coburg 19 after an earlier report failed to provide any range recommendations we hear from a medical expert. prime minister boris johnson has met e.u. commission president. after the u.k. insisted there will be no extension to the brics it transition period it comes just over 6 months for the sides to break the current impasse or risk parting with no deal in place will talk us through the latest developments is r t u k c so rally. their research so tell us what's been going on. well there's johnson has been holding a video conference meeting with the european commission president on the lion and

during the course of that meeting they have been discussing a number of issues which remain outstanding between the 2 sides as they try to strike a deal of course while we are still in this transition period many people could be forgiven for even forgetting all about break that in the weight of all of the coded 19 pandemic issues as well but those talks have been going on we've already had 4 rounds led by negotiates them both sides but now it's the turn of the principals to take the reins of to try to see if see if they can push things forward because thus far there have been a number of sticking points which have stopped talks from developing now the 1st of those is what type of deal will have struck the year would like to see a comprehensive all encompassing deal that covers all sectors while the u.k. want to separate agreements in different sectors in different ways there are also

differences to do with whether there will be a level playing field the you say that they want u.k. companies not to be able to slash vironment little labor regulations because that would give u.k. businesses an edge on e.u. companies. fishing rights of course you know in the lead up to the referendum for many british fishermen the issue of fishing rights was a matter of sovereignty the e.u. of course see it differently they want to continue to have access to british fishing waters and the irish border that's mega issue that was raised repeatedly in the run up to both the referendum and the u.k. leaving at the end of january this year what to do with the border what type of checks to have in place for goods and for people now the 2 sides have come out and spoken in the wake of that call between the 2 sides meet had both bars johnson and on the line saying that there needs to be an increased see an increased energy

renewed energy from both sides if they are to get this deal done because of course we only have until december the 31st when after that point of no deal is in place the u.k. will go to trading on world trade organization rules with the european union we only have until the end of this month to see whether both sides would like to have an extension to that x. transition period however another thing to come out of those meetings that both sides agreeing that there won't be an extension and so all 'd attention now will turn on whether the deal can be done in the next half year and of course things are made easier by the fact that again both sides have been dealing with kind of a 90 but also meetings haven't been taking place in person they've been taking place of course using video conferencing technology and so the 2 sides will be hoping that perhaps at some point it can get negotiators in the same room to knock heads together and things can do short that much quicker than i have to he said

thank you very much indeed. well for more on the talks time joined by press experts professor john ryan. dunn thanks very much for talking to us i mean both sides have accepted there's no extension that we know so why does that mean a quick jail within a few months. because they can come from eyes song to different areas that they're putting forward for wood. playing field fishing rights i don't seem to think this is part of a negotiation if they actually agree to anything now. i think people would have banked on those agreements and then bridie cooled amount further down the line trying to get a bit more on get more squeeze out of the out a side for their own benefit i think there's also a cd probably a. bar stone says government can take this down to the wire and the e.u. will. sort of compromise more to get a deal from the e.u.

so i don't think they'd more and more you talk to people over there. is that they are preparing for a deal at this stage because they don't see this going anywhere well as you said they yourself also correspondent said. how do you think going to bring. i. don't think. either is going to actually blink 1st because it's always been of the opinion that the government's main idea here is to go out and. rules and that means a no do a break that would cool into question one major issue which would be a new phenomenon and because if there's no agreement there would draw an agreement loses its effect and so to produce a cold one be in place and therefore we'd have a pop over to. the e.u. side i don't think they're going to compromise that but i think being actually very

much more hardline i think bonnie and he's tried to get them to lighten the touch a bit but men distance and other institutions like the european parliament and say no we're going to stick by this so at the moment we're at the point where we're going to go to it's more like that we're going to see some inkling of some compromises maybe but remember both sides are dealing with still conflict 19 the e.u. have got other issues to deal with in terms of their budgetary is. a bit stalled at the moment so yeah there's that doesn't look like anyone's really going to blink at this stage should imagine the type of outcome but it's in no one's interests least of all u.k. and new businesses to leave it much later is it. well you know i mean that there was a real we were problem here is this is politics this is a trait to say quite a lot of people on the british side haven't really done try to look for for

a long time it's not that much experience. and what the means is that business is going to have to deal with the no deal bricks on both sides are not going to be ready to continue some of them will be some of the banks and financial services have done me to get a shot of that but quite a lot of other companies the small medium enterprises been waiting waits you might see. it if it comes to you know d.-o. that be left it in the lurch and we're already going to have the knock on effect some but it's economies the european union and the u.k. of kovac 90 plus i know deal here is going to be. very detrimental in terms of jokes in terms of you know exposed etc so it's going to be very destabilizing funny that john i mean looking at the talks themselves we know that they want a full day in the u.k. might be happy with that to bisect to in the long term if a deal is nailed down which is less likely. i can't see

a comprehensive dubin done in this time so if if you have say to speculate. there would be a deal then they would probably have to china and the whole process of you know the 1st generally being the finality and making a political exercise where they would say well we'll do another extension to make a comprehensive deal happen osip to her apply set to deal from a b u perspective is not to run so i think that the logic of both sides is not going to meet on that basis but if there was a comprehensive trade deal if there was some kind of deal that they would probably . compromise on that 1st of january 2021 remember the politico some of this for doris jones is very difficult that if he lies is and is not out by

the 1st generally that will cause a lot of problems in that it is policy in his cabinet and all of the you know the political environment in the united kingdom so at this stage i just go back to what i've been saying for quite a long time that we're on the track to another deal and they get that done right thank you very much indeed. thank you. all may well not essential shops in england have opened their doors to the public for the 1st time since the lockdown was announced on march the 23rd all week shops including department stores 101 thing retailers and apple might have to open up providing a social distancing measures are a day or 2 the number of people allowed inside a shop at any one time has been limited and protective coverings may be placed over certain items it follows the u.k. government's insistence that the so-called 5 tests to ease the lock down have been met however many in the in the industry say the current to meet a distancing rule is simply too restrictive especially when pubs and restaurants

begin to open the government insists the rule is under review. the prime minister's commissioned a comprehensive review of the to me to go it will take advice from a range of experts including the chief medical officer and chief scientific advisor as well as behavioral scientists an economist i'm aware there is a great deal of interest understandably in this matter from both sides of the house however i'm sure the house would agree it would be premature to speculate about that review's conclusions at this stage we will of course keep the house updated on this work and will share any developments at the earliest possible opportunity. well it can as i mean suggestions the u.k. should adopt a more intense approach like countries in asia where they have eradicated the virus last week the prime minister of new zealand just under arden announced that her country had had no new cases for over 2 weeks the epidemiologist who advised new zealand professor michael baker told r.t. u.k. that britain should be ramping up lock down not easing it. this approach instead of

aggression increasing your sponsor is the parent gets more intense you throw everything at it and start to try and extinguish the transmission entirely and that's what z.m. did so it will be from no doctor or into a very intense lockdown in just a few days and we use that term for weeks and then another 2 weeks with a slightly less of not the answer about 6 to soon weeks look down. we use it time it bases it is extinguished most chains of transmission go this time to really build up artist's name and contact tracing and also started to use much wanted controls at the border with everyone require importing both pointing it's no accident that the countries that were most proactive in responding to this in dimock had experience with us and i think of the model that has probably been the

most of it there was taiwan that basically had a well established c.b.c. they were since its control they started to observe this virus and take measures at the borders in january and they did everything right and they've hit the early few cases very few dissin the whole country and they contained it with their own media lockdown the question i wonder about is why am i not considering an elimination approach because you have all the tools in place you basically are menace you who are those you are doing to see in context tracing and isolation of of context and you have experience with a lock down but if you just put all of that together it seems to me you are in a position we could potentially make this virus. a report has revealed thousands of here k. hospital patients were discharged into care homes without being tested for corona

a real expectation of success about use of the word victimization has led to some groups describing boris johnson's comments as condescending to the communities his pledging to help the prime minister is also facing calls to urgently publish a report with recommendations on how to protect ethnic minority communities from coronavirus if i was the recent publication of a public health indian review which exposed that black asian and other ethnic minority people are dying at a greater rate from the virus the government document was heavily criticised over its failure to include pages containing recommendations about how to protect ethnic minorities downing street has since confirmed a 2nd report including evidence from $4000.00 ethnic minority individuals and organizations that skew to be published this week it reportedly include safeguarding measures including improving data collection about ethnicity and religion compulsory health risk assessments for frontline workers and tackling

racism in the health service but a scientist who was asked to peer review the unpublished recommendations says withholding information from parliament undermines the review if you consult the public you must publish the results otherwise you've wasted their time you've wasted your own time you've wasted taxpayers' money and you've lost trust. a public health england has defended its exclusion of counter-measures in its initial review saying those were supposed to be separate. the government commissioned public health england to conduct an epidemiological review to analyze how different factors can impact on people's health outcomes from covert 19 in parallel professor kevin fenton on public health england's behalf engaged with a significant number of individuals and organizations within that the a.m.e. community to hear their views concerns and ideas about the impact of covert 19 on

ought to reach obviously is to is to is there any nexus debts as you've just said and. but there is no evidence that a beam staffer not offered to be in a setting river right doctors reports that that's not the point but the point has been that friendly it's close came to not it's and then from bad feel close to route to public health intervention and it's just a minute segment of it because highlighting the concerns about b.m. debts and it's just an event took a long time to respond and even after it just responds to the trusts not of trust some trust a very proactive but not of trust speeds to entering to discussions of the front main stop asking the board it concerns and assisting that wrists and mitigating those risks now premier all thought and it just meant to respond in a timely manner although they want doctors to see patients in time and fairly have trust to engage through different planes were live and strong those reason bush and

with it is a ridiculous situation where and these are at liberty to make a mockery of the reopening of parliaments on social media whereas our security guard members are prohibited from using photographs that documents failures in social distancing for larry. and finally with no end yet in science to social distancing regulations the list of music festivals cancellations continues to grow r.t.u. case martin andras takes a look at an industry on the brink of collapse. from face. to face as some a kicks off so would normally the festival season and while groups of 6 might be allowed to be house site it might be a while until $6000.00 are allowed together the association of independent

festivals represents $65.00 festivals in the u.k. they reports but over 90 percent of its members face complete ruin as a result of counseled events meeting 2020 is a total wipeout for thousands who work in the industry and done lost some of festivals as a wide reaching impact across the lives of the 6. that's right i've had on and confessed we were canceled this year and we haven't happened yet so i don't know if they will be an happening next year or not i mean because to rules like glastonbury rewind they will be cancelled as well so everyone's in the same boat i think recent stats from company use it make a say that almost 5000000 people attended a music festival in 2018 but 2020 has almost completely obliterated those figures and because the majority aren't covered by insurance for cancellations related to

covert 19 festival organizers worry but the future is rather bleak. and there may well be a bit of a crowd. in this because as i say there are some of us out of the tribes trusted to run that way and i would say it's going to be quite difficult for them to survive this i am i think there will be a complete change in the market. but for some an employee with equal opportunity and a child to brace social change and technology finding new ways how to share their craft and. well i think we're going to have to chinatown to more. digital music you know producing your own music trying to get out that people people still need music. and this is just not going to be out to sea life performances yes i think people have got more time on their computers and phones to be looking at new artists and mark my music. and you tube videos on

are only oldsters like us the ones that have been doing it for a long time we're probably going to get kicked out and it will be for the youngsters to make a new business that's my suspicion but with an entire year of income and trade wiped out it's be at that many festivals the financial resources to ever take place again some fans have started crowdfunding campaigns to help that organizes but it's a drop in the ocean for most large scale events some are hoping to transfer tickets over to 2021 and while that provide some security for the next year it doesn't help the cash flow now and as the world learns to live with a new spit might be a while before those wellies are put to good. use. i'll be back with more news in half an hour.
