10:31 am
restrictions against huawei we'll talk about this story and more with economics professor richard on the head of the f.a.a. says mistakes were made in the oversight of the boeing $737.00 because of lawmakers look to learn more about the jet and the 2 fatal crashes which grounded it will we have a power show today so let's get started. the u.s. commerce department released a new rule on tuesday that will allow american companies to collaborate with wall way on setting standards for next generation technologies essentially what this means is the new rule will amanda wall way entity listing and it will allow certain technologies to be released to walk away and its affiliates if it contributes quote to the revision or development of a standard in a standards organization will the u.s. added wa wait to its entity list in may of 2019 this was over national security concerns a claim that while way has rick. heatedly denied but in an interview with fox
10:32 am
business commerce secretary wilbur ross clarified that this new role is not to help walk away but simply to quote help make sure we have ubiquity in 5 g. adding the change is really simply a clarification it isn't that we're doing something to help our way what we're doing is something to make it easier for a global standards to be symmetrical ross reiterated national security concerns remain over while with 5 g. and said that spying is a very real issue well the rule is scheduled to be formally published this thursday . for more we are joined by a host of economic update and author of understanding socialism professor richard wolfe professor as always thank you for being with us today let's start with the shares in chinese telecom companies that have jumped following these loose and sanctions as i just mentioned u.s. secretary of commerce well virasat while we remains a serious national security concern but is this the start of the u.s. the thankfully backing down. in my mind absolutely if this is
10:33 am
a capitulation of the united states widely expected for some time and is a response not only to pressure from american companies that want to do business with huawei and rely on business with huawei but it's also a pressure from other countries germany is a prime example that have already embedded while wavelets which is among the best in the world in the united states little position over the long run through wildly already has better technology going to the united states in telecommunications and this is a recognition that the chinese really are a competitor even at the highest level and yes it's an issue because it's become too expensive for the united states who they believe that nobly we will hold on to this pasture of this chinese company. well professor while weight has been at the
10:34 am
heart of the u.s. china tensions at the heart of the trade war now that the phase one deal has been signed and both countries have touched on the progress that they've made a former finance minister and cabinet adviser for china. last week actually said that the 2 countries what it waste or shouldn't waste any time rather on improving their relations he said quote china emphasizes that we should work hard together to ensure the implementation of the phase one agreement are we essentially going to see the u.s. a lemon a all sanctions against wall way and a possible phase to deal well i think it's a political question i think the chinese are quite right they understand american politics this is basically not a question whether the administration or mr trump go into the election we want to position itself as good to us and the chinese or the person who is making a deal with the chinese that will benefit the u.s. economy one of the oldest strategy will be children and then the public relations
10:35 am
will come out the way mr rauch try to say we were just as concerned about security as we were before which is the opposite of what he said a couple of months ago this is a political issue now to be determined by this group plans of the u.s. administrator it's been a political issue for quite some time now i mean on the show we've previously discussed while way and like you mentioned while ways 5 g. patents now of the telecom giant owns most of them on 5 g. how will the u.s. essentially how will they the how they'll have to essentially pay wall way right the spite the span of what's going on there. well the 2 leading technologies in 5 g. are the finnish war ration erikson and the wildly cooperation china the united states has been defeated in the area it's not the cutting edge and by the way punishing china makes no more sense than punishing been the arms if a parent country got
10:36 am
a hold of the thinnish access holds the same issues with arise well it's the world is interconnected we are already linked in many ways look how quickly the virus spreads from one corner of the world to the other the notion that you can identify and promise one country and control technology is wrong it never works and i think this is all a recognition that china has now fully and the world of leading technology and will be there for the foreseeable future or faster if i want to take it over overseas her for a minute here and now that the u.s. seems to be easing these restrictions well and brazil for example recently the u.s. ambassador to brazil todd chapman told that is how paul and his paper that the 2 countries there and talks to fund this new 5 g. product and they're saying that this would allow the u.s. to fund nokia and ericsson equipment and installation by local brazilian talcum companies what do you make of this continue fight for to be the 1st in 5 g.
10:37 am
and in the specially in these major developing countries. well i think they've already cut their deals with weiwei and they don't want to lose them and the americans are not prepared to give them the amounts of money we've got because we're talking billions of dollars to make an expensive shift a shift it takes a long time this is the same concern that has led the british to kind of not deal with the united states on this day it's made the germans threaten the united states that if they push through we're just germans are going to suffer and they're going to make the united states pay for that you put all this together and it just isn't worthwhile to go. charlie you got to carry you know what should. or so and. when you fill out so where he lives and then i want to see the only brazil anyway we won't wait. to do more and we're learning
10:38 am
5 g. is practically and evitable without some sort of wall way is what it seems professor richard wolffe host of economics of day and author of understanding socialism as always thank you for your time today. thank you. the boeing 737 max jetliner has been grounded since march of 2019 after 2 crashes killed 346 people for more than a year congressional investigators have been seeking documents and interviews with f.a.a. officials in an investigation to see if boeing and the f.a.a. had a cozy relationship and overlooked problems with at 737 max well today the federal aviation administration chief testified before the senate commerce committee our future projects joins me now with more on this affair and what did he admit to the f a a and boeing did they have a little bit too close a relationship so there i mean to say that chief steve dixon was grilled by senators today is a total and complete understatement you had tons exchanges between all the senators and dixon but the short answer is he did not admit to the the f.a.a.
10:39 am
and boeing being too close unfortunately the senate's investigation in fact the f.a.a. has been stonewalling lawmakers actually by either taking forever to turn over documents that they've been asked to give congress or just not even turning them over at all which was the committee's actually biggest frustration today listen here. but you make every document available every document it's an easy question it's an easy question is it is it will you make every document available for the public. senator i'm not i'm not sure what normal protocol is on that but we will be as transparent as you possibly can no no that's not the question not as you can that's what happened the last time you weren't transparent the last time will you commit to making every documented public. sooner i'm not i'm not in a position to commit to that at this point well you have not been you're caught a cover up well also a surprising fact uncovered by senator ted cruz of texas listen here. has anyone at
10:40 am
f.a.a. been fired there have been changes in leadership in various areas no one has been fired over this particular matter up to this point had anyone been disciplined over this matter no not specifically so unknown somebody says made unspecified mistakes for which there had been no repercussions is that right i would not say that there have not been repeat repercussions well please tell us the repercussions the repercussions are that we are we have significant reforms we're making to the process. so yeah a tough day for steve dixon but he did say that he is committed to the oversight process and he also did admit that both the f.a.a. and boeing did make mistakes when it came to approving the 737 max too soon however it is important to note here that since these 2 crashes happened actually had a number of people fired over at boeing including their c.e.o.
10:41 am
dennis burke who was let go back in december welfare and this comes just a day after a new bill was brought forward the aircraft's safety and certification reform act what does that bill contains so that this is actually the most significant step towards accountability following those 2 crashes because it is forcing lawmakers to look at how the f.a.a. approves new airplanes now this bill completely eliminates airline makers like boeing from having an influence on the certification process the bill gives the f.a.a. a total of 40 to hire or fire boeing employee employees doing f.a.a. certifications it brings in safety advisers and also protects whistleblowers because as we saw with boeing there were leaked text messages between pilots about the $737.00 max during the testing phase saying the systems were faulty but they were too afraid to come forward and well it sounds like congress is putting a lot of responsibility on the way but like boeing they too have made mistakes and how is this going to look going forward so it does help the f.a.a. obviously as you said have more authority but it's also very very easy for congress
10:42 am
to say after the fact however congress is just as guilty and all that went down with boeing listen here. congress has allowed things they are allowed and given levity to on certain things and so i think that they they have good faith in what is going to be doing with this with this authority that they were going to but i think that it's been abused a congressional power they have been given the money by congress to to to fund the structure of this story operation so sarah when it comes to funding and this bill you know dixon says that he doesn't he doesn't think that the f.a.a. hiring and firing that's going to add to the safety process but as far as the bill it would actually give the f.a.a. $150000000.00 over 10 years for the new training procedures and that's something that dixon said would be extremely helpful for the f.a.a. let's hope for the arctic correspondent thank you for that report. markets are on
10:43 am
the rise or to hold on to this 4 day winning streak coming out of today sharp gains we want to bring in a room with co-host christiane i to talk about the markets kristie what's going on here. well doesn't look like the market optimism has resulted in a kind of an over what situation here and especially as we move forward we're going into the summer lol well it won't be any that much new data or catalyst it's going to be a data law it's going to be a data vacuum where liquid you know will also be very thin and so that's going to impact trading and volatility and we might see some dramatic swings up or down as an creator and all week or pretty much all month long the market is being kept well supported and fully inflated by the constant injections by this of a bank this is a very well supported market here and it's hard to keep that down so right now there is a bias for positive news over negative news however there's still a lot of concern right now as beijing has just reported that it will be shutting down schools again amid a resurgence of coronavirus outbreak we all priced in this recovery a sharp quick recovery and
10:44 am
a bounce but how can we get that one the reality and the data showing that a 2nd wave is already coming as new cases are escalating again in asia texas and arizona where you just mentioned the big bounce what are we looking at here this year shaped recovery v. shaped recovery so many predictions here what exactly if anything can you say we could possibly expect especially with the 2nd resurgence. well given the data so far it's very difficult for me to believe that we will even get that the bounce or you bounce now that we're talking about the economy here not the market to be very very different thing seeing as how the market has just completely decoupled from reality with all the support injections it's been given so look we've had a weaker than expected industrial production and may manufacturing output it's still new the lows of the great recession and capacity utilization is only about 2 percent higher than what it was during the great recession retail sales apparently surged yesterday but off of the very low base and the numbers are still well below
10:45 am
pretty pandemic levels and then the stimulus checks they helped a bit at the 1st time around and now keep us and all of it and they skipped out on mortgage payments and credit card bills there's about 30 percent of americans who did not pay their mortgage payments last month so what's. what happened a month later from now when all of that comes due again and then on top of that we still have 20000000 people out of work and not i think to be working as a number of hours again come this summer so with all this it's really difficult to believe that the economy right back to the way it was before certainly doesn't seem like it that was boom bust co-host christi i hang here because we have more to discuss with you right after the break time now for that break but stay here because when we return we take a special look at and what we can expect from the cryptocurrency in the age of the coronavirus now as we go to break here the number is up at.
10:46 am
6. am so you can't get away from advertisement you change your
10:47 am
appearance. many local people see plastic surgery as a prerequisite for a successful career. interested. job seekers and parents as a graduation present and so often don't use plastic surgery for an extra few in their lives to make their eyes a bigger. mistake every teenager dreams of just. i don't know. if the epidemic continues as a disease the economies will not work we will not have trade tourism and. investment we will have to change you with very deep economic crisis.
10:48 am
the european union has launched 2 formal antitrust investigations into apple's app store and apple pay the 1st probe is over apple's overtax and some competition issues with spotify filed a complaint over apple allegedly restricting rules for the developers that use the app store and limits users to choice to favor its own apple music service will rock
10:49 am
attend filed a similar complaint alleging that apple takes about 30 percent commission on a team books while favoring its own apple books will in effect an investigation it's looking into apple pay and whether or not it. e.u. competition rules the u.s. concern that apple is limiting or disabling altogether in app purchase systems executive vice president margaret message or said it appears that apple obtained a gatekeeper role when it comes to the distribution of apps and content to users of apple's popular devices while apple defended its practices on both fronts and said it's disappointing the european commission is advancing baseless complaints from a handful of companies who simply want to free ride and don't want to play by the same rules as everyone else. to coin is on its way back up as the world's largest crypto has climbed up over $1600.00 again as it attempts to clear that $10000.00 mark with a question how will that quinn break through this resistance or will it come back down again well joining us now to discuss our boom bust co-host christiane and
10:50 am
vance one chrystia let's start with you what are we expecting to see or what do you what do you think will come from that point over the next few days and weeks. well right now all toys are actually the ones that are contained just show a good sense of dominance but with big question we're back in the ascending what so i'm actually pretty neutral here rather than overly optimistic we bought the diff and back and now we're back in the mid 9000 where you have some very stable solid support but i would be a pragmatic optimist here because what is concerning is the lack of volume there's not * a lot of follow through not a lot of trading going on same as we just mentioned in the equity markets right now as we're going to the summer lull so what we are going to watch here if we do get a breakout the next thing we're going to be looking for is a new relative high and there's a lot of evidence that we will be getting that soon because in particular we're seeing looking at the apollo way what these hallways are in active held by these die hard because when investors long term holders the core base so right now we've
10:51 am
reached a 4 year high in the hallway it's now over 60 percent so that means that there are more people taking short term positions and out which means less volatility in the market. and i supply and demand with increased ability and more long term holders we're building 2 larger and larger bowl cycles and each time this next wave well done some analysts are saying that they could even climb as high as $12000.00 why is that yeah i think what christy just said a really bears into that as well which is essentially this that big coin has found kind of its new low which is around 8600 and if that becomes the new low the not the 3600 of the 3500 but 8600 now we're looking at a new kind of jumping off point so as far as moving past this $10000.00 mark i think we very well may do that and some analysts are saying we could go to around $12000.00 that absolutely could happen because we're kind of looking at a crucial moment here that determines whether or not we're going to surpass this
10:52 am
$10000.00 or we're going to fall back but at this point in the end what krissy just said is critical here that there is so much kind of volume right now and momentum behind what's happening with bitcoin not a rush like we saw in 2017 of new people jumping in but a holding firm of where we've been but i don't think we're going to see it slip back i think we're going to see it move beyond that 10000 mark breakthrough that ceiling and then head towards 12000 so essentially it's people who have already owned it. for a long time who are further investing in it right. but it's also not it's not this money flipping scheme that we saw in 201720178 lot of people jumped in because they heard about this thing where if you invest today it'll be worth twice as much tomorrow you have a lot of that that is gone that's been kind of shed from the market and with good reason and now we're in a much more stable place well kristie earlier this year san diego based a silver state bank which boasts 2300000000 in total assets well began owing its
10:53 am
customers to apply for loans collateralized by big coin how that digital currency exchanges that are also silver get customers well are we about to see more of dollars being borrowed with crypto as collateral here. absolutely and this is certainly interesting and it's really big news for the traditional institutional investor community but really this is something that has always been in the cards for the crypto community so i mean it's great news that you now have a name brand institution such as silver again back in your making loaned out against it for you collateralized the asset but then again the entire point of crypto is to cut out the middleman get rid of it but be a fully decentralized trust less system so when you look at a couple of the 5 network has actually really mature throughout the year of 2020 now in particular the compound protocol you need just launched recently and it does the exact same thing and allows you to lock up your could earn interest it's a smart contract so you have absolutely no interaction with a 3rd party software provider rights over again and then on the other end of it you
10:54 am
can lock up or even take a loan out on it in the form of us stealing u.s.d. t. credit or any other tokens collateralized you're each so in effect is doing the exact same thing us over again but without the middleman without having to trust an intermediary broker and without those heavy heavy origination fees so just basically do gentle as lending pool without putting all your eggs into one basket trusting subrogate or trusting another institution to hold your asset so that's the really amazing thing that comp token the 1st day that it launched it topped the ranks for d. and as well. now the largest that indeed on the 1st day of trading meeting makers are we essentially going to see an increase in that these loans. absolutely because right now people do not want to sell out of point as we just established these are going to be long term holders so these long term holders still need to make rent payments don't have expenses every single day that they need to pay out in u.s. dollars so what the fine or does what they'll get allows them to do is to hold onto
10:55 am
your bitcoin collateralized the big point and take out these loans against an us that you can then use every day in your says it's interesting how people are because they're seeing such a rise and it go up so much that they're putting a lot of more money into said investing into it knowing given the times that we're seeing right now but then this summer the u.s. supreme court will consider how to interpret the 1906 computer fraud and abuse act which is a key data protection law this could have a huge impact on crypto why is that. yes so it's the c.f.a. essentially it comes down to a case right here in georgia where i am of a police officer who essentially access the police database he was had at the authority to access it for law enforcement purposes instead he access that for personal purposes and so essentially committed a crime that's ultimately what the court found and it's gone through all the way up to the 11th circuit court of appeals now headed to the supreme court the reason this is significant is because essentially what it does is it decides whether or
10:56 am
not an individual is breaking the law by doing something that many people do which is take a use of the computer or computer program for a specific purpose and use it for something else in official capacity that would have a huge effect on crypto currency from a crypto perspective essentially and let me just read to you how this would affect it would it affect those who spoofed churn or wash trades they may be subject to criminal liability under the c f a if that activity violates the exchange of terms of use and so essentially there's a lot of action that takes place on the crypto side that may not technically abide by crypto exchanges terms of use and if you act differently than that in the process or any attack on a block chain network could essentially are not regulated illegal some sort of regulation and coming into that. was one that is regulation it's taken in existing law and it's and it's criminalizing it in a way that it had not been used before so that in the case of the police officer
10:57 am
just so people understand the actions of the police officer have been done by many police officers probably in the past right you have access to a database for official use and you use it in a way that it was not intended for personal use that happens in many cases but this is the 1st time that it's been treated as a criminal act and that's why it's significant. bent on and christie i thank you for that panel. thank you that's it for the time you can catch him bust on demand on a brand new portable t.v. app mailbox smartphones do a bit of a play on the apple app store by searching portable t.v. or stream must hear t.v. by downloading a portable t.v. app on apple t.v. and online a portable the t.v. will see you next time. the simple things workshops and petersburg public spaces where adults with learning
10:58 am
disabilities can indeed join equal terms with creative activities like graphics soong ceramics. and joinery. just living with these shoes what's your worst. or is your wife just is what did she do 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 of. let's say. the guy down the block from or you. is counterfeiting mining and he's by and stuff he created an extension on a sour soup bought
10:59 am
a new boat be brought a new car plus 5 new cars he brought another new boat he bought a lot of jewelry he's live in a large would you say the wealth on that street is this horse medley heading into that guy's house because he's able to counterfeit money and spend that money would you say that i mean that's not hard to comprehend right. some control for a middle. of the night most of them are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that either have some some health issues or have some had a stroke of bad luck a full time job won't always 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 i anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like
11:00 am
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 put on in the world's richest country. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is on to u.k. . the french president meets pm boris johnson as the 2 countries discuss cohabit 19 ever it is to avoid currency. from the crash victim hurried down the plans to prosecute the foreign secretary for allowing his edge killer to flee justice. parents were were given permission to bring to greece against dominic wrote that he struck dude. i'm sure police is lawful investigation to bits you are used to. the u.k. government u. turns on its coded 19 contact tracing output goes with the apple google model
11:01 am
despite weeks of testing we hear from a privacy expert. but experts in the us cost down to a u.k. claims that a steroid drug can be used to treat cope with $19.00 probably talking to one of the scientists. and british police forces are up to 7 times more likely to find people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds in the lock down the latest data shows you get the reaction of the from the national black policing association. french president emanuel mccloy's meeting prime minister boris johnson in london where they are set to discuss the idea of any bridges between the 2 nations these would allow quarantine free travel to help revive the u. case tourism industry for more on this r t u k cæsar ali joins me now with the latest so then. is now in downing street isn't
11:02 am
he meeting boris johnson with some social distancing of course yeah absolutely mr mark is in london for the 80th anniversary of the speech delivered by former wartime french president charles de gaulle the proud the appeal to french fire. to resist the nazi occupation and on the agenda in these talks between mr mock ron johnson could be of course a little bit of bragg's it that never goes away but also the question of averages now united kingdom have implemented quarantine rules so any one of arriving on these shores has to self isolate for 2 weeks but these averages are bilateral agreements between countries to ensure that the citizens of those countries don't have to undergo those measures as quality measures that have been calls for the french and kate to establish them however there have also been fizz raised by dominic robb the foreign secretary that possibly there could be legal challenges because if the u.k. strikes these agreements for example with france than other countries may ask why
11:03 am
they also don't have the same exemptions from those quarantine measures now we've been seeing. another issue raised with regards to the quarantine rules by the travel industry they say that it will damage tourism and also european unity and establish the website and then called open the you know what this output this web site does is it gives advice to people who want to visit certain countries for a holiday about the measures in those countries are they open are they allowing citizens into they have non-essential shops open all the beaches open and so on and so forth the united kingdom doesn't feature on that up and the travel industry again arguing that this just merely hinders attempts to boost the u.k.'s tourism industry but the government hitting back saying that well the u.k. is part of the e.u. anymore and so doesn't need to be featured on this up he said thank you very much
11:04 am
indeed. well the chairman of the answers you just travel and tourism dr stephen freud woman told me the government's quarantine rules are politically motivated. the government policy frankly with quarantine and the foreign and commonwealth office advising against any but all non-essential travel is is a shambles last or last friday the transport secretary grant shapps said that no decision on their bridges would be made until the 29th of june and yet today we hear that the prime minister is going to be discussing averages with the president of france there just doesn't seem to be any coordination and we are totally totally against these these rules which are currently placing the british public in an absolute lockdown for the government would argue that the current emails are essential for the k. as it's one of the worst hit countries in the world with coronavirus i mean the government argues it needs to protect its citizens well that's absolutely right the
11:05 am
u.k. does have the highest are number in europe meaning that actually if a person goes abroad for 2 weeks we're going to get back they've got a lower chance of being seen 19 positive than if if they told they go home we've got the highest. number of new cases last week there were more new cases of cosy didn't the u.k. than in the rest of the e.u. combined so why they're preventing us from going to the e.u. what the rest of europe when we are the biggest risk is it's quite bizarre well that would also argue that we need to avoid a 2nd wave of the virus and therefore are implementing such measures well that's true but the rest of europe is actually unwinding is unlocking if i'm based in switzerland i can go anywhere in europe if i mean austria i can go anywhere if i'm based in italy again one of the worst hit countries they've opened their borders now we are going in the opposite direction and let's face it it's not driven by the science this is a political decision to distract in my opinion from the from the failure of their
11:06 am
other policies. government has you turned on its contact tracing up in favor of the model made by tech. google and apple the original app was meant to be that one of the cornerstones of the government's tested trace system to help find contacts of those with the virus the use and follows months of development by the health services innovation arm and just trial down the isle of wight off the south coast of england last month it was announced on wednesday that the national rollout of that sap would have been delayed until the winter well absolutely blew so signals on smart phones which register if someone comes into contact with a user who has covert 19 it then alerts the person him the effective carrier has come into contact with the critics said the way the government's original plan on data storage on a centralized system made it open to abuse of the new system stores the data on individual phones which some say makes it more secure. or on this i'm joined by writer and privacy expert ray walsh. right thank you for joining us another years
11:07 am
and by the government but this will be welcome by privacy advocates in the u.k. won't it. right we've been working really hard to print preview see how to ensure that the government changes its mind about how it rolls out this separate is up and up until now it seems hell bent one nazi running out a not that would be centralized not withholding updates or a central database which would put people's privacy at risk and would cause the risk that the data could be mishandled the use of certain groups is such a surveillance and it could take even be hacked and that just isn't necessary in order to run out and now that is a good that's helping to prevent the spread of created means whatever this is good for people concerned about where the data is going isn't it but is it going to cause months of delays. well we hope not because there's already been quite a lot of our development. towards these kinds of ups you know other countries such as germany for he got up like this and it is that today i'm a fighter who could be yours you went on the record said that he'd be willing to
11:08 am
help the n.h.s. to get this up and running without cost of that spread as it is really no reason why it can't go ahead it's a real shame that the governments are sort of. wasting so much time before making this decision because we could have put this up a lot sooner and get a much he helped prevent spread of committing 1000 before and also one of the consensus was that not enough people would download the app i mean do you think this was a greater engagement absolutely astrally am i using a simulation using a machine ending up preventing the us review and it's actually proof that these kind of apps can really help to stop the spread of cribbage 19 but i'm summation prove that that is only going to actually have to be the threat if people were to choose to download the app and if they are concerned about their privacy they may decide to not only be which is why i'm making the are the essential lies the making the at the data remain local i think people's brains is going to be really good as that too was open the people to want to donate to want to help the n.h.s.
11:09 am
but spread the disease and also right once it is operational i mean how useful will this technology be. well yeah i mean any contact racing out that can be used that is essential as a nice safe that can always be prepared best if there's another outbreak if there's a 2nd wave or if there's a future pandemic so it's good to actually use technology that is safe and that doesn't look people at risk and fire that right why do you think the government resisted for so long. it's really hard to say i think or maybe they were just ill informed about how people felt and how the data are actually could be read. and i think as more evidence has come around and a certain way it logically and decided to all parents which were very similar to the it is if there is one does not it's realize that the reason it's a great role thank you very much indeed for joining us. thank you. now the family of harry dunn is set to prosecute the foreign secretary for allegedly of obstructing
11:10 am
a police investigation into their son's death the family lost a court action against the foreign office which would have forced them to disclose more documents relating to the handling of the case but the judge has found that there was already enough in the public domain to back their case when it concerns u.s. citizen and secure last who allegedly hit and killed 19 year old white a cyclist harry done in the english county of northamptonshire last august she was believed to be driving on the wrong side of the road near to the air force base where her husband word fled to america claiming diplomatic immunity and was subsequently charged by u.k. police for causing death by dangerous driving we don't rob denied knowing secure less had left despite a text message from a senior diplomat showing his officials told the u.s. that she could in fact leave the country. well that's of the dunn family says they are angry and bitterly disappointed but boris johnson off to his 1st letter to them came 11 months or even 10 months after best son's death they claimed they received a cut and paste response from the prime minister claiming it's simply more of the
11:11 am
same from the government but johnson and the foreign office maintain that they are working to facilitate have return both the foreign secretary and the prime minister have been clay with the u.s. that the refusal to extradite amounts to a denial of justice and that she should return to the u.k. the foreign secretary remains ready to meet terri's family and to support them to get the justice they deserve will be done from a spokesman ron sega told me what the ruling means for the future of the case there was no loss or victory in court today what the court decided in terms of further disclosure was that it already had enough to make the determination as to whether or not. and so cruel this had diplomatic immunity so although the parents wanted more documents around that issue the court decided it up and those of us who sat in on the hearing could clearly see which way the court was going to go we are very
11:12 am
confident that the court will ultimately make the determination and secure this diplomatic immunity the other very important development that came out of the hearing today was that parents were given permission to bring a case against dominic rob that he obstructed northamptonshire police's lawful investigation it too it soon ari's death so it's it's you know the parents certainly feel that there are giant step closer to getting the justice that they deserve so what is the next move. so there so the next move is. the issuing an appeal to my friends in the foreign office to reach out to us and come and talk to the phone to resolution you know if they don't want to do that then ultimately preparations will continue. both in terms of proving very serious allegations against mr o. . and getting that cool order ultimately that she did not have diplomatic immunity
11:13 am
once we had that case then we could all turn to washington and ask president truck very nicely to send disapprove this back if you won't do that now we may very well need to wait until we got a president to the oval office who does believe that upholding the rule of law to make sure that that happens when you also go off to donate route for obstruction there is absolutely no doubt about that and that was that was something that the court allowed the parents to proceed with today it was for the police to establish who had diplomatic immunity or not not the foreign office but they they took it upon themselves to decide that she did and they allowed her to leave that that interfered with northamptonshire police's investigation into harry's death effectively stopped coming up to the breaking. expense in america all cold water on claims that a common sterile and tragic case the biggest breakthrough yet and i think 19
11:14 am
treatment i'll be talking to one of those scientists. under both kinds of british police forces are more likely to find people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds in the long term we hear from the vice president of the national black police association.
11:15 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful. to sit down and talk.
11:16 am
welcome back medical experts in the u.s. have cost us on the findings by scientists is oxford university who claimed the common steroids drug dexamethasone can be used to treat covert 19 a study claims the drug reduced death rates among coronavirus patients on ventilators by up to assert u.k. prime minister boris johnson hailed it as the biggest breakthrough yet oxford university have said they'll soon publish their findings in full but doctors in america are cautious about celebrating the study's results before all the data is released recently a french study into the effectiveness of the drug hydroxycut or a queen against code 19 was withdrawn from a top medical journal over similar data concerns. well this comes amid research which rates the u.k. the 2nd worst in a table of the world's richest nations handled the virus spain and italy receive the same ranking but research has pointed out that those countries were the 1st in
11:17 am
europe to be hit by the pandemic while experts at the economist intelligence unit claimed the u.k. had adequate time to respond but failed to sufficiently coordinated the us received a good rating despite having the world's highest coronavirus deaths so far why are some countries received a very good rating in relation to their covert 19 response these included new zealand germany norway i'm stan mark. overall the countries that manage the pandemic the better all reacted early in swiftly as new zealand did for instance not all of them introduced stringent lock downs but all implemented aggressive testing and tracing programs which were among the most crucial factors to contain the pandemic and insufficiently fast and coordinated response and initial lack of testing capacity and a decision to suspend track and trace in early march explain why the u.k. became an outlier. and i'm now joined by dr mark werfel he was one of the american
11:18 am
medical experts he's cautious about the findings of the new treatment dr frank you for joining us you've called for oxford university to release all the data on dexamethasone are you skeptical about their findings and certainly caution has given. me around the i don't occur in evidence i think we want to go forward jumping to initiate yes and that is owners are as a standard of care before we see behind who is selected for the trial and truly where their outcomes were and therefore was it right for the u.k. government to make such a bold claim. so i i understand the motivation behind it this is a devastating disease many many people are dying every day and having care of these people it's very very difficult to watch them die without being able to provide any effective treatment so i completely understand the motivation and i think the thing
11:19 am
that we need to be careful about is a decimal physician does have some adverse side effects. can affect the immune system and reach you at risk for infections other than co bed and so for instance i think it's going to be very important to message to the public that this is even even if this is positive this is really only a treatment for people who get invited to the hospital and require oxygen in no way a treatment for people outside of the hospital or treatment to prevent disease so i think these are all things that are really important to message ahead of time i also think that. part of the reason i don't completely fault them for announcing it although i strongly encourage them to release all the data as soon as possible is it you know this is a messaging issue where we need to 2 years of all of the physicians around the world to be mindful of this evidence so that as soon as the paper comes out and all
11:20 am
read it you can decide for ourselves whether it's truly effective and put it in place as soon as possible how do you think we could end up with another situation like hypoxic laura queens and if so do you think there should be regulations to stop the early release of related scientific studies. there's a very good question and i think you know it's one that we're making on the fly this is a situation that most of us have never seen before. i think it's a very challenging ethical call to say whether you hold on to these results and wait for the full hour if you should but i think it is important to avoid. what happened without actually couric won't. really largely that it's going to rely on the government agencies to a message that this is this is preliminary we really don't want to have to jump to
11:21 am
conclusions and start ordering. his own for themselves like was done and was hijacked sykora when you leave because there are some downsides to every act and so i'm sorry very briefly doctor i have a very brief if you don't mind do you think the scientists should make us more on drugs to treat 90 rather than chasing a vaccine that could take years. to injure the different issues so the treatments are important for making sure that we can save lives now the vaccine is going to be critical for making sure we can arrest the pandemic so both of them need to have that amount well thank you very much indeed for your thoughts ok. now a campaign great claims u.k. police forces are more likely to find people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds during the coronavirus lock down research indicates that 17 police forces in england and wales are more likely to issue a penalty notice to people from ethnic minorities than to those who are white company as police force was almost 7 times more likely to find black asian and
11:22 am
minority ethnic people while west midlands police with 1.6 times more likely to find minorities the chief constable of the west berlin said that interaction based on 4 east which are engaging explaining encouraging and enforcement may be less successful if trust is already. of the cumbrian residents issued penalty notices 5 part of a b.a. at me by groat in relation to those who reside outside of cumbria 22 people of a b.a. background were issued a fixed penalty notice overall just over 8 percent of fixed penalty notices issued what to individuals of a b.a. i mean background i can't rule out as a service we do have biases and discrimination our interactions based on the 4 may be less successful if trust is already low with certain communities. well for more on this issue are now joined by the vice president of the national black police association that's andy thank you for talking to us what do you make of these
11:23 am
findings and i think they're just heartening but they have been also come as no surprise there black asian minority ethnic communities are disproportionately dealt with more harshly probably in a number of areas around alright dance in custody they're twice as likely to day immediately sure archer and interactions with place are in stop and search as well or more likely to be stopped and searched if you're and black and particular parts of the attend to cross-examine going away and so for me it's disheartening but not so great and unfortunately it's not something that changed easily i think it's like anything and you know what the 1st thing we have to do is accept that there's a problem and what we often do in place then is defend our position i think we have to listen to the communities look at the data around why i'm discover why these communities are getting and i would agree around the fact that the trust and confidence in some communities are less likely to gain compliance so what we need
11:24 am
to do is really build build that trust and confidence in those particular communities for the longer term benefit of looking at finds themselves after this report that was raised that i mean offices issue fines as a last resort so after trying to avoid enforcement. you know stephanie the principles is pretty process at the engagement explain the encouraged out old old and have been ruled out with all but a war of a fortune it was 7 of our communities are no one confidence or less likely to comply with officers those interactions are there any more likely to escalate to the enforcement stage probably quicker more and more or really are more likely that they had thought sort of emory and so again the dots that really were probably most of the disparities phone from the mean time as we had from that report the chief constable of the west midlands said that demographics may also have contributed to the disproportionality what do you think of that i think that the of thompson somebody that i quite respect is quite open a risk isn't a place in particular is a place in area and waste melinda's quite a diverse area so that may well of been
11:25 am
a factor in this particular piece an area but again it feels a recognised disproportionality across them a number of different forces is demographics may not be just as diverse as a state if. so then how much it hangs the policies for me policies don't always have a whole community look you know because we are all or are black asian minority ethnic communities are under represented in place and you know we have 14 percent those the population of the wheels are black asian minority ethnic background but with only 6 percent of the police force that are officers whenever you go up the ranks that's even less likely so what we need is a more balanced viewpoint and we need officers open to those more iraq and decision making places so that they can bring their lived experiences on their cultural call buttons am around their own community that would create better policies for and in terms of the sort of the why do policies what else can the government a. i think for me the meantime we have to do community cohesion is key
11:26 am
a number of community cohesion programs will end up for me there are crime branch and you know put in place and we were able to prevent their son get killed and seriously injured on the air on the roads through seatbelts and force whether i get a. seat belt get into cars races and technology around our bags so i think we have to look at communication in the same light you know bring in an air initiatives like kick off a 3 is one that the national black police association advocate for what is going it was for use in sport and other airplanes ours. to get that engagement go on another note last say after more informally tigers with the police service and on the other side of engagement as well what can the ethnic communities themselves day i think again it's been open you know for us the national black bases or stations down there not only the challenge of the police service as a whole but also d.s.s. you know we want to see police and get better so for us there we can act as a bridge between communities the trust of the police
11:27 am
a lot less an actual frost and years with us a gauge of the police service as a whole am the only way you're going to do that or mexicans better is by voicing your concerns at every level i'm never going to make sure that we have a policy for the place isn't there or there that people are ever going to met but we see in just about communication is that under george thank you very much indeed oh you're very welcome thank you and i'll have more news in half an hour.
11:28 am
we go to work so you straight home. note no crowd. no shots no. factions cults. no arrests or. points your thirst for action. in a troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage street thugs of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only catholic population of belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes
11:29 am
a mob was striking about these attacks was that the r.u.c. the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast i thought like more than a 100 innocent civilians when ludovic as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the grades which the inclusion was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named goodwin and we're getting i think it went to the very very top i think it gave the cross the water where the. patient you walk to school you don't give the go ahead.
11:30 am
by a max keiser this is the kaiser report hey let's say the guy down the block from where you live is counterfeiting lani and he's by and stuff eat he he created an extension on a south super lot of new boat he bought a new car plus 5 new cars he bought another new boat he bought a lot of jewelry he's live in a large would you say that the wealth on that street is disproportionately heading into that guy's house because he's able to counterfeit money and spend that money would you say that i mean that's not hard to comprehend right stacy yeah we're going to talk about can tell you a fact and how that spreads down through a systemic form of discrimination and a systemic.
