volunteers are people he's an aries reserve he she. lives consciously creating that your mind be economic damage alpha coronavirus the damage is still being counted what's in store for gas today was elicited lunch time magazine's inflation will decker's jeffrey sachs the fast economic data on the center for sustainable development versity seen here advisor. professor of surgery to have you with us we do want to. have a chat with you for the longest time about how these times are fanatic and the bassline or sexually pick your mind and maybe find out what is it that you're going to hear or see herself live companies go back perhaps one afternoon there is a lovely kind of assess who is more than 5 trillion dollars and they ask a scenario some passer suggests are currently in the hour of the hurricane and the

worst is yet to yet to come do you think they're right and how much worse can this get. we're obviously in a very deep crisis it is highly differentiated across the world and i think this is the most important point in the asia pacific region the epidemic is getting under control the policies have been smart and effective in stopping the spread of the virus in china japan korea australia new zealand taiwan hong kong vietnam malaysia and so want in. western europe and the united states the epidemic was not controlled effectively at all and in the us we have a complete mass because we have a. failure of national leadership. mass deaths. more than

110000 social unrest economic. catastrophe and throughout most of the rest of the americas resilin for example. back soko terrible terrible outcomes then the question is the rest of the world including russia including central asia including south asia including africa and the battle is on right now will it be more like the asia pacific experience of stopping the spread of the epidemic or will it be more like the experience in the americas of the epidemic being out of control and it's a very difficult battle and it's a very important question my point is this epidemic can be controlled but it requires very strong public health measures it requires strong cooperation of the public it requires good leadership that is very clear on putting

a priority on stopping the spread of the virus the reason i mention all of this is that if the epidemic continues as a disease the economies will not recover we will not have trade tourism the investments we will have can't kenya weighing very deep economic crisis and so really to my mind good economics right now means good public help stop this virus from spreading learn from asia see what they have done successfully get this applied in our own countries i only wish the united states were growing this way but i'm quite as a mystic unfortunately. absolutely that is something his have done with his condemning them in their ways and. it was so difficult for everyone because it was

something completely new no one had to answer is no and the professors now are of the doctors now of the president's no one knew how to deal with a was sealed honestly things about this and that way and the way to look it's not going to be completely over in terms of the see his coverage and basket case scenario up every winter and we're still talking about 2nd ways a certain relief we do contain and trying to minimize the damages from this disease from this damage with you want to see the end of a for another say 78 months what does it mean for the economy oh i think at a minimum it's a half a year or 2 years even if there is a vaccine which would be very very good luck if it would take quite a bit of time to test it for safety you can't just have a vaccine that works on a test group and then say oh now we're going to put it into the bodies of billions

of people that would be completely reckless and so the truth of the matter is even though there is a lot of hope for back scenes coming early it's not going to be the solution to the next wave the next wave of this epidemic good it's going to be quite a long time between there is but before there is really an effective vaccine that is. already given to a large number of the world population so we have to fight this by public health means what is it that the east asian countries knew or figured out 1st they wear face masks very basic they don't transmit the virus to others they take precautions they are screened at the workplace if there is a fever go home they have quarantine facilities they are. tacking has

sting and tracing infected people in other words if you are with symptoms you get tested immediately if you are positive your close contacts in the family or at the workplace or in. places that you visited are also quickly contacted and has did so these are standard procedures for fighting epidemics and they really should be applied everywhere urgently right now what it means for the world economy is we are definitely going to have a significant disruption of the world economy for a long time to come the truth is even if there were a solution to the virus we will not have a nice shaped recovery meaning that we're going to bounce back anywhere near the rate that we have gone into a ditch to find people are not going to go back to normal practices we're not going

to get a construction boom anytime soon because we have more than empty office spaces everywhere people are going to stay home and work from home if they are in the kinds of work that allow for on line activities people are not going to be tourists traveling around the world at the same rates as before for an oil based economy like russia the price of oil is going to be considerably lower for quite a long time than it was before for countries that depend on remittance income this is going to be depressed i don't believe in a quick recovery i believe in a prolonged crisis is being more likely and i think we're going to need global cooperation for the recovery phase this is also very tricky because unfortunately the united states is trying to. oppose cooperation

it's trying in the middle of all of this crisis to make a new cold war with china and that is a ridiculous thing to do but that is because unfortunately we have a very poor leadership in the united states which is creating so many problems inside the country add international closer say when this condemning hey. it was so good to see how everyone consolidate and countries yes their forces for mistaken care of their selves and their nations that they started changing data and they started changing the way to mediate and the mass and the medication and the doctors who are arriving from china to their information to their american to hear it was it to see that it will came together to combat this one to me and i am not a half and i just sat was very finger pointing and doing you are to place a you that i ask you today do you see when we say we need to come together to come

out of this recession to see a 100 percent. giving is possible lucas county or it looks like this or says temporary come together and now they were morally maybe even more fragmented than before well there's definitely forces of fragmentation that are in my view quite dangerous and there are needs for cooperation that are more urgent if you look at places that are doing badly and containing the epidemic they tend to be the places also with the kind of strong populist nationalism that are against cooperation in other areas as well look at the united states or resilin or other places where their leadership is already highly nationalistic. really against lateral cooperation but not even making sense to keep its own

citizens safe we should be looking for cooperative approaches we were not doing so even before cope and it's not the us approach at least of the trumpet ministration which wants division rather than cooperation that's why trump called out of the paris climate agreement trump cold out of the iran nuclear agreement trump told out of the world health organization a trump has launched a cold war against china because his whole strategy is divide. this is not a strategy that is really what we need for solving any of the major problems of the world today president he showed great great how her battle continued talking to jeff for sassafras of economics after the 2nd for sustainable development at columbia university and seen here you know better now than what is in store for us many are suggesting with us.

you cannot be both with the yeah you want.

less need less the oldest out of an hour when we've been imaging less of that solicit it was a propagandist you cross and it's got its you heard from the regular morgue you're more your partner grooving to rock. my water source like you would get us lucifer mr delicious that i'm a guy that i'm just like we do but indeed it is not my achievement mr davies our 5 year of plans were conceived by the need and carried out by the people themselves if how they would produce or even flirted with the idea. making a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. that was the sentiment during the war that the soviets were brave corroborative resisting god says that's going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. i believe people think that hollywood is a free place but hollywood is strictly defined by only one side of the business and

the other side is ideology. how would i define hollywood is they call it the dream manufacture which i think's true but i think equally it's a propaganda factory. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. and we're back with jeffrey sachs investigator not just after the savages versus sandal development at columbia university and seen here he had better than you're

saying we need cooperation to get out of this crisis let's say things are deal i will call operate we still can go back to how things were going to be the new normal and he mentioned the common change a lot of people who are like you know this and and they actually showed that the climate at the time eighty's 2 months of sitting at home and we can see the himalayan mountains that we were able to see for 30 years and we see the years in the streets of paris in the character say just recently as a team that has made him a he and bring them to his sleeve. we hear he has a yes answer to ask here is that the correct crash is given and has started to build a career in there economy of the future i mean something that really pushing away has a lesson like need a friend now she said because it has happened here anyways this is a perfect time to start a new habit of model news have economy futurity point but i want to know is it

possible to friend who has to fight that sally out of the way of conducting a well it's clear that we needed a new approach even before the pandemic that's why we reach to global agreements and 201511 the sustainable development goals of the 2nd the paris climate agreement these are very important new directions for a world to be safer on climate pollution and destruction of nature it says we need a sustainable approach for the world that's the problem was and remains that this requires the transition from a fossil fuel based world to a renewable energy world and the fossil fuel based countries russia is one of them the united states is another mexico is another saudi arabia is another australia is

another were resisting the move from fossil fuels to sustainable energy because they said hey we've got fossil fuel resources this is our livelihood so. yes code 19 has led to a dramatic drop of oil use oil prices plummeted there's a glut in the markets it was only when russia and saudi arabia cut the supplies the prices gone up a bit but the real issue is a more fundamental issue the real issue is whether the fossil fuel producing countries will work constructively. to develop renewable energy as the alternative because if the fossil fuel producing countries the gulf countries the united states canada australia russia and so forth continue to promote fossil

fuels we don't make it transformation so i believe we should make the transformation it's really important for public safety it's important for a safe planet i think every country could cross or in a low carbon economy but there are a lot of strong interests that don't want that transformation. a lot of people have been coming to the conclusion that this new model of the company that we have now see have less is going to be like 22 days to e-commerce orientated and things said businesses feels that we're starting to be poor and we're supposed to be 10 different hears were very high and things are there are supposed to die off in 1020 years also died off in one night so they have ways to navigate was like an accelerator for the things that need to be a start and they said that he seemed to be actually left behind for both of. them

were thinking about this see anything of this sort of visual basic hunger stace economy to you know what's wrong with it i can actually well i think when you describe what's happening extremely well this was an incredible excel or and and i've spoken with so many businesses that have said you know we realized we could be 60 percent on line or 70 percent and we didn't know it before i spoke with a senior un agency official who said that there had been a lot of resistance to working online intel suddenly they say oh this works fine there's not a problem we can do this so i think we are going to see. a long term change coming from this short term crisis it's pretty much across the economy it's definitely in my sector of education after all the universities when i

lived in a week i've been teaching for a long time but it was sometimes maybe it wasn't the best advocate shouldn't you be in the classroom but the truth is you can do a lot of very interesting selectable things are bringing in speakers for all over the world. gauging in new ways of had a goatee which i personally like actually i think it adds. content. and riches so if you think about it it's in offices it's it commerce it's in governance it should be voting and registrations and licensing services online why stand in line in a government office when it can be done so conveniently on why it's 8 payments it's ethan and saying it's easy education it's health with kalon medicine not for

everything but for quite a lot of what needs to be done so i'm in agreement with i like it because it could reduce wear and tear on us it's not all or nothing an office is a good thing once a week maybe maybe twice a week to see colleagues and to socialize and to add that it bandage but every day in an office for work that one can do on line really doesn't make sense commuting is no fun for a lot of people why spend an hour each day going to and from an office with all of the physical resources the carbon emissions and so forth about in jails when you don't need to do so so i believe we could move to a world of more leisure that's cleaner bed is less wear and tear on the earth and on our bodies but there's one important point also that i think needs to be

mentioned the way that this could work is. either everybody gets some benefit from less commuting podmore leisure time saving money and so forth or we all end up basically working for just the big cat companies you know the biggest gainer of this epidemic has been jeffrey b. so a balance as ours isn't you was this idea that all those tax returns just say hey 50 percent repair wells his 6 years in the well people you know are going to be living at below par in line after this is over is still. talk to me about that aspect salue we have a good asset that this could work up arrest if they you know if we all agree that we can't do this task based e.-commerce face economy as long as we don't end up all working for tax as to why you got this huge gap that has become given huge account

where we see hilarious getting rich share people losing jobs and are going to be living under a party line system in and people have to this and to me and will we see that basically the disappearance of middle class how how does that play out obviously it won't play out well if it isn't addressed through public policy mr b.'s ost today is with that worth of a $150000000000.01 person. this is the $35000000000.00 increase since the start of the year he's been a huge gainer at mark zuckerberg $10000000000.00 on facebook his personal net worth i'm not talking about the company obviously a so this is ridiculous you know when you think that amazon basically pays no taxes

it paid no tax at all for several years that it heinie amount in 2019. we can't go on this way what what kind of society were one individual as $150000000000.00 of net worth and so many people suffering just to stay alive so we need a system of taxation we need a system of. meeting basic needs of health care education and so forth that costs money and that requires a redistribution of income from the mega mega mega rich to the rest of society and we need to ensure that he will who have jobs have decent jobs a lot of people have gotten sick in amazon warehouses this spring that's not right a lot of people have gotten sick in doing the basic things to keep our society going during the pandemic and they're the most marginalized course people and in

the united states they don't even have health care much of the time because our societies unbelievably unfair it's just money owned and operated and sobeys are things that are absolutely now on the agenda and if they weren't on the agenda before they are on the agenda because there's protests all over america about the racial injustice but also about the economic injustice so i don't think that it's going to stick this kind of inequality but it needs now to be. channeled into actual policies to make the new kind of a condom a fair that everybody has the benefits of education health care basic social services that no one should have $150000000000.00 i don't care how clever you are in inventing how clever an enterprise most of that should be taxed away because we

don't function well in a society with such extraordinary income and wealth inequality and finances or do you feel like the government's general rolly dealing with him should take rethink she very or say fears in terms of emergency his for instance. or. one of the best course to chisel that marcus or if so he's a father to the natural way all good societies are mixed societies where there's a strong role of government including regulation income redistribution and providing social services a market which allows for entrepreneurship and flexibility and a civil society these are the hallmarks of a good society they are a middle way between extremes between the extreme of all state ownership and

central clamming between the extreme of just. our end as markets without any kind of social justice and so it's an old idea of theon western philosophy and eastern philosophy choose the middle path and that i think is the right strategy economically as well in the united states. we are a money driven society we're a money driven political system we're the money pays for the campaigns the big well and this does not lead to social fairness inclusion or a proper role of the state the new deal that we had under franklin roosevelt who i regard as our greatest president was a middle path it had government and it had business working sometimes in conflict and and sometimes cooperatively and that is in my view the

right approach what we don't have right now by the way more than anything is we don't have this thinking going on in government and without rationality we're getting terrible terrible outcomes and so i'm trying to think hard about how to put thinking back into our political system of the message to the center for this and that is wonderful and great. here where you get the top one more to. the heart with cancer bearing the veins they started pecan i'm looking forward to that thanks thanks a lot to the way your son going to the bank you made there. 54

jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.

speaking to west point graduates where the era of endless war 4 years ago on the campaign trail he said. why is it so difficult for this president to make good on this. the promise to end it. 6. months. and then as many people see plastic surgery as a prerequisite for a successful career. most interested in the job seekers appearance as a graduation present. just plastic surgery for an extra fee to make your eyes look . most every current teenager dreams of looking just looks

a. little. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is our 2 u.k. . the u.k. lowers it's kind of big 19 and the level as the prime minister hints that to me just social distancing could also be relaxed. but that says a government review into social distancing threatens to derail a july reopening for pubs and restaurants we hear from a pop investor and campaigner who wants them open regardless. of thousands of student nurses who signed up to work on the coronavirus front line have been told their contracts will end early and they feel betrayed we get the reaction from one of them. i can't get my head around why because we're students it

is acceptable to believe it. to be acknowledged it should be acknowledged the way it should be. local doctors are increasingly losing faith in the government's response to the pandemic thanks to virus testing delays look down breach scandals we hear from a community doctor. and you politicians by which to veto a trade deal with the u.k. and let's say it has a level playing field commitments that as a poll shows preps it has deepened divisions in bolton island we hear from the politics but. the u.k. has downgraded its covert 19 alert level from 4 to 3 and a spec. elation grows that the prime minister could catch the social distancing role from 2 meters but the chief medical officers from all 4 of the u.k.'s home

nations also warn against complacency amid fears of likewise virus outbreaks or in this case. i there isa say what does the lowering of the never actually mean in real terms in practical terms well the. threat level or the warning level as a result of the covert 900 outbreak was initially set up to give the country some type of ability to understand how bad the crisis has been throughout and that decision to reduce it was a joint one from all of the chief medical officers of england wales scotland and northern ireland and the reason they've done so is because they've decided that following analysis of the data the number of cases in the real infection rate is falling enough for them to say that we're moving away from this virus spreading exponentially and the threat level can now be downgraded so how does this threat level work or how does it look well the level 5 means that the country situation is

critical levels for means that transmission is high and rising exponentially we've now come down to level 3 which means that it's no longer spreading exponentially the next level would be level 2 which is a significant drop in the number of cases and the transmission level being low and the level one is the eventual end goal which would mean that coded 19 has been pretty much a rather cater from the country there are no new cases we aren't there yet but looking at some of the dates the our rate the real infection rate is down across the country although in london there's a chance it could be rising ever so slightly we are right to sensually is the number of people who infect other people who are infected by somebody with coded 1000 so for example if the rate. is 3 if you can see on the screen that means each person who is positive is infecting 3 other people if it's 0.5 that means anyone

who has the virus is only infecting on average half a person and so eventually the virus itself will die away now bars thompson has taken the opportunity of these encouraging numbers to state that possibly we could be seeing a relaxation of the social distancing measures particularly in schools from 2 metres reduced down to one. really diminishing amongst us all and that's the most important thing and that will allow us as the alert level comes down that will allow us to start making some progress as i've said on our plan and with the social distancing measures so when we go forward to july the 4th which is the next big this stage in the plan and we hope that there will be more guidance out very very shortly that will help people help businesses help hospitality to prepare for that and and how to implement social distancing in

a safe way that is the time to come back and get your kids back into into school and of course on the on the social distancing measures as i said watch this space we will be putting in the changes and the science allows. now it's not just in schools where some would like to see those measures relaxed of course owners of restaurants pubs bars cafes and so on would like to see them relax so that they can get people through the doors once more now we understand that the date of july the 4th has been pencilled in as potentially being a day when these establishments can have their doors opened again the measures can be ease although we understand the government are reviewing it possibly with a view of pushing that date back further in any case the health secretary mark hancock has welcomed the downgrading of the door threat level from 4 to 3 saying it's vindication of the government's for profit 90 critics point out the u.k. still has one of the worst death tolls around the world in the worst per 1000000 of

any other country. and that reliever is thank you very much what is fibrous johnson's optimism a government review into to meet a social distancing could delay plans to reopen pubs and restaurants on july the 4th hobson bars are being closed since the beginning of the lockdown in march with the sector among the hardest hit in the u.k. but some owners are rebelling and valid to reopen their doors on july the 4th anyway well more on this i'm now joined by hospitality investor and founder of project point 2020 a campaign to get the pubs open china mcvey chile thank you for joining us project pine she want the pubs open but it's got to be safe doesn't it. it actually does have to be said but i just it is that it's the legal responsibility and obligation of publicans of restaurant nightclub and us to keep the stuff in our custom and say we've got hundreds of years if not thousands of you have the collective experience of doing that and we feel that the time is right to do that now we've all invested

huge amounts of money in preparing for this moment and you know there's a present there's a at least a 2 week lead and that's required we will be buying hundreds of millions of pounds worth of. food and so on in the run up to this to this 4th of july date and it's not something i can just be turned on and off like a tap we need to be ready so we have taken a decision and we are advising other supporters of the campaign to prepare themselves for the fall so i obviously if 'd if the government comes out and says you absolutely count all i can on this state but this reason that will have to look at the time as far as work and sign we're preparing for the 4th of july and what did you think that when you had that the july the 4th reopening could be refused it's incredibly disappointing i mean you know we're already looking at the loss of millions of jobs and in the economy possibly as many as a 1000000 jobs in hospitality on site we employ but want to be a lot simpler as my country puts great help in people and it's just vitally

important that the economy starts to get back to work our judgment is a threat of a stage where we are reflected in the drop of 3 today and that government measurement is is absolutely minimal whereby show seems to be hinting that that social distancing distance could because i mean what are you hearing. yeah i mean i think he is very very studiously watching the polls and i think he's nervous about making a decision to st so i think what he wants to do is to make a decision of the last moment which obviously from a political point of view is you know john mccain but for us it's it doesn't really work you know we have to make a decision 'd ourselves about how we prepare for a thing you know we caught just you know the battles in peru itself on the day that we had our supplies to go but i know looking at switches and i know that lots and lots of brewers have started to brew barefoot pubs that are going to open. you know only thoughts so let's make before to do like independence day for the united kingdom and get up and back but i think government does tell you that it's not safe

to open when you go ahead anyway. i don't think so i think i mean you know that'll be up to independents you know it will be up to pubs themselves to decide it's not me tell pubs what it's a little not know is if there are one question to be 'd insurance issues if the government tells us not to open and we do what we're saying is we're planning to open it what we will open unless you give us a very good reason not to how do you plan to keep your plan to say well i mean that huge amount of effort is going into this and millions of pounds of be spent in the space on its own i think is spent $11000000.00 pounds we've got we've got protective screens going into it to divide up customers we've got hand sanitizer machines and entrances we actually saw some some kind of easing bias of the whole range of measures that are being taken to protect customers and you know if you actually look at the number of cases there are in the u.k. many areas there are extremely few in date and dropping and as i say we think that

the preparations that were ready to go if i might say what has me set chatham and i thank you very much. roberta. when we were local doctors are increasingly losing faith in the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic according to a recent poll of the $700.00 doctors asked 65 percent say they have a negative opinion of the government's pandemic response that's up from 35 percent in april at the height of the u.k.'s outbreak 55 percent don't think the government's test and trace program will stop the spread of the virus well over 3 quarters say the actions of the prime minister's chief advisor dominic cummings and his lockdown trip to durham of meant others are less likely to follow the existing rules. well the moral of this i'm now joined by community talk to an air con article i'm going to be joining us what do you make of the government's virus response. well i think it's been a bit of a shambles from start to finish really you know we were late to the game when it

came to lock down and that resulted in lots of or necessary deaths there was the issue with people it's a continuing issue at the moment where doctors didn't feel safe health care workers didn't feel safe at work and that unfortunately resulted in doctors and nurses and health care workers dying probably unnecessary because they were also urged the right protection going forward from there the tested trace app you know it's been a bit of a disaster today we heard that they're going to drop what they had planned and they're going to go to google and apple to try and set it up and that will be ready to christmas by which time you know it's going to be far too late and all that they say has been done without the primary care. and that's that's been a real issue you know we haven't been there we know our communities better than anyone we can tell you know how the infection is likely to spread within the communities we work with normally those have been consulted and we work in these

areas coreg homes where we're seeing patients with corona virus type symptoms and we're only able to test them for it as well so it is we've all it's just been a disaster which is which is reflected in those those results you mentioned there the government have made more effort to actively support local doctors. yes definitely you know we will be left behind the hospital of that's quite right you can prioritize and they were prepared for it but general practice it hasn't been involved in any of those discussions and that's where we feel now that we've lost confidence in in the government and even up until recently when they were talking about mandatory face coverings in hospital they didn't give any advice to general practice as to whether patients should wear face coverings there it's only in the last 2 days that they said no they don't need to wear face coverings when you come to general practice so you could get a patient going to an outpatient appointment at the hospital having to wear

a face covering but then coming to see years for an afternoon appointment in our clinics and not having to wear a face covering so so it's all mixed messages and none of it really makes sense well the government say it's always following the science what do you think. well i think it's easy to hide behind that we know science changes we know there's many opinions when it comes to science are they following one particular opinion when it comes to science book you know we had you know a very prestigious scientists say on television that testing in tracing people particularly care homes was being abandoned because it wasn't appropriate and that was completely wrong we know testing intro single is so important we seen the disaster that happened in our care homes so it's hard for us to then say ok let's follow the signs and we hear scientists say search wrong things and finally don't take on an issue of trust isn't about what about the actions of the p.m.'s chief advisor during a lockdown did that have an impact on trust yet

a huge impact on trust you know we saw we saw scientists resign as a result of doing the same thing when it came to dominate cummings it was just a different rule set and i can speak from personal opinion from my prison experience sorry. that happened the minute boris johnson excuse. behave. so people in and around my surgery you know just block as a going out and about how you now agree it how the real real disastrous effects on social distancing warring aspect as it does to aamir khan thank you very much. and coming up after the break. you've probably been terry anzur votes to reject a trade deal with the u.k. if it doesn't include a level playing field commitment that's as a poll shows breck's it has polarized politics in northern ireland we can't let politics but.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. yet to shape out these days to come as a kid and in detroit because the trail. went on many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and.

welcome back thousands of student nurses drafted on to the n.h.s. frontline during the peak of the coronavirus crisis have been told that contracts will be terminated early beating many furious and even in debt one of the many pavane told r.t. u.k. about how disappointed she was at the news. just after finishing the shift i was walking back to my car in a jeep just remember feeling really let down then unsupported because we've been marking so hard and so many students across the country jumped at unity how can such a challenging time with light little know little to no hesitation and it feels now that we've been used for what we were needed for and pushed to the side regardless of what we were promised and i am i am upset about it because i feel that it was anybody else in any other line and. if they've signed a contract for watching a certain period of time they wouldn't have had that contract with. that they would

have what the contract to be and because it wouldn't have been acceptable and before the originally planned and that i can't get my head around why because we're students it is acceptable i don't believe it's father. to be acknowledged it should be acknowledged in a better way it shouldn't be revoked when a march almost $18000.00 student nurses and midwives in their final 6 months of studies or 2nd year will cost to work temporarily alongside frontline n.h.s. workers it was part of a move to boost the health services workforce during the coronavirus pandemic in anticipation of hospital beds being overwhelmed during the virus peak while most contracts were set to last until around september the government now says the pay placements will terminate at the end of july but the whole 2nd terry was taken to task over the action in the house of commons. all of a nature stuff deserve great praise don't they mr speaker so can i just ask you on

a specific point which i for which i as a merged in the last couple of days one student nurses who joined the front line 6 months ago as part of the coronavirus effort now seeing their paid placement schemes terminated early leaving them with no income surely this is no way to treat student nursing staff it is wrong to suggest that student nurses and midwives are being made redundant all student nurses and midwives are required to complete placements during their training as part of the response to cope in 19 these hours been paid and will be until the end of the summer and n.h.s. england has been provided with the funding for student salaries as part of our response to 19 and the chief nurse has taken that forward. well more than $70000.00 people have since signed a petition demanding the health secretary doesn't prematurely end the paid placements and nursing unions are demanding carroty for england's healthful forages whatever the government do all of the sacrifices for the nurses that made the

former health secretary jeremy hunt said on twitter that he cannot believe the government would let down so called brilliant and brave nurses but the department of health and social care denies that anything has changed. by the end of july most final year students can qualify as registered nurses and start full time work increasing their pay those with hours to complete will be paid until september 2nd year students will return to complete their qualifications so they can qualify as quickly as possible which is always been the plan was true there's any pov and also told us that the sacrifices made by those like yourself in the face of the pandemic are undeniable i've had you know distance myself from obviously c.n.n. friends and family and i think that's really you know last up to the end responded to joining the emergency register they've all made sacrifices to watch out the pandemic. obviously prior to work and if they were living with people with health

conditions they would hundreds of completely distance themselves from that and we've also had to adapt ourselves to a new role we've taken on new responsibilities we're no longer supernumerary so although the support is still in place where we're more independently and taking on different responsibilities and different roles i've had to adapt a lot so i would say sacrifices have been made by sure it matters. for my cohort i'm trying to be a pediatric nurse and a lot of my other students in the class they've been sent to adults wards and it's an environment that they're not training to be in. having to adapt to new situations that they've never experienced they've not been exposed to it before and that they have to adapt a lot even in the children's ward read up you know a c.n.n. different things that we knew we wouldn't have been around in

a normal pace next because it isn't a normal placement it's a policeman and a pandemic that nobody expected so even the nurses qualified nobody expected it. to you politicians have voted to veto any free trade agreements with the u.k. but don't have robust at a level playing field guarantees the european commission president says that despite a fast approaching deadline the e.u. won't be pushed into an unfair agreement what we are not ready to do is to put into question our principles and the integrity of our union because it is our duty to protect the interests of the european citizens. michelle about new was done an outstanding jobs over the last months michelle obama has explained many time. why the 4 outstanding issues are so crucial 1st of all the level playing field the fundamental issue at stake here is fair competition we're ready and

willing to compete with british firms that are excellent and our firms accident too but it can not to be a downward competition just think of labor standards or environmental protection when we were leaked document has exposed the u.k. government plans to use shock and awe tactics based on behavioral psychology to prepare the u.k. for the end of the brics a transition period the phrase is more commonly used during military action as a show of strength the scene in the iraq war the information campaign is part of a 4500000 pound advertising deal that the government struck with a london based creative agency and is set to launch this to lie it's designed to warn british business says and the public against a possible no deal scenario by focusing on the loss of ordinance but the chair of the northern ireland affairs select committee says the government's last a fair approach towards giving firms adequate detail in time for december is a responsible. there should be some staging post to place to say we need to hear

from this group by then so that we can respond by such and such then the army or whoever of them over. this. open open sky approach. may have been approved. true years ago 3 years ago but 6 more but seems to me playing with fire but it comes as a poll of 1200 northern ireland residents show that since the brits that process began the country's political divide has been growing the survey showed that people identifying as ny the unionist or nationalist has fallen by over 10 percent in the last few years and as the middle ground is getting pushed out people are increasingly identifying as one side of the political spectrum almost 10 percent more catholics now identify as nationalists compared to 2 years ago and 67 percent of protestants identify as unionists compared to 55 percent in 2080 or

all of this and i'm joined by the professor of british and irish politics at the university of liverpool that's professor john tom john thank you very much for joining us changes in your than i would appear to be polarizing over the last few years do you think the brakes it is entirely to blame for this thing but it's mainly to blame for it you've got very difficult positions measuring this is corporate most nationalists all bitterly opposed to northern ireland being dragged out of the group in union against the will of the majority within northern ireland so this survey in many ways i'm surprised you get is hard on the attitude to go of a sensitive national as the percentage of units you identify as such are going to go at a time when we thought there might be some already. growth in those who identified with another tradition and yes i think briggs it is primarily responsible for well both sides ever actually agreeing not least on to excess. but agree on anything i

decide quite frankly they disagree obviously the northern ireland constitution future nationalists want to united ireland they also disagree about what's happening in terms of constitutional future because a majority of nationalists believe that briggs it has made a united ireland more likely were as the vast majority view this quite dismissive of the right here and they think that northern ireland not only celebrates its sense hearing next year probably of a 150 year celebration in about a half a century so this constitutional differences and the differences about what is happening about those constitutional differences or could the government say you said on border checks jeopardize union is backing i think long term a few things that unite us this is that they don't want friction this ball in the irish sea or you're going to have it now is checks upon goods going between great britain and northern ireland to make sure they don't enter the e.u. single market yunus a bitterly opposed to that but nationalists and not that keen on the i needn't

either but what should be said is that nationalists were very very adamant that they were not prepared to see hardening of the normal south border hardening of the border on the on the island so the british woman had no choice but to sign up to a deal which places friction based on goods going from st london's about fast in effect going to the going from one part of the 90 kingdom to another or being treated to all intents and purposes as exports when they go to northern ireland well could bedside hating the u.k. government actually lead to greater independence and potentially good reification. reunification is never off the agenda it's what makes a party like action brain sick but if you look at the survey that was released this week only 25 percent of people in northern ireland so that they were both $399.00 and it was a border poll tomorrow but they seem on the low side and it should be said that online surveys this was a face to face survey online services showed

a much higher level of support for united i know but it has 2 things one only the secular state and all the one callable call of holies unlikely to do that any time soon and secondly in the long haul in the next 5 years i think it's pretty certain northern ireland would vote to stand united in the altar cause public opinion may change it thank you professor john time but. i will be back with more news at the top of the are seen again. i have been to national memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media or a part of a global news platform you can submit to your published works in either video or format go to award go to r.t.

factions that felt. well struck no arrests were. points your thirst for action. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter labelle speaking to west point graduates trying to say we're ending the air of endless wars 4 years ago on the campaign trail he said the same thing why is it so difficult for this president to make good on this promise.
