i know team no crowd. no shots. actually helps me. in the let me stress over those 12. points your thirst for action. the world is driven by shaped by fun person to those better.

players thinks. we dare to ask. oh i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report how about a quick history lesson in economics you know people talk about socialism what is socialism there's a side here that labor has value and that people want to take part in the means of productions and guess what starting in the 1980 s. that became obsolete because all wealth was tied to money printing today 2020 so that would be 40 years later then this phenomenon 1st to colp activists and labor rights activists and workers are are bigger now that the problem

is not about the means of production the problem is the money printers and they're taking action stacey yes protesters around the world are putting their hopes and to crypto currency we're seeing g. abo the global insurrection against banks their occupation i think we also have to kind of elaborating it's like a global insurrection against paper printer occupation paper printer theft you know p.p.t. there's something going on crypto currency is have always had staying power due to institutional retail investors as well as its traction as a digital means of exchange yet it's on sensible nature and the potential of having relatively private transactions as well as an alternative to fiacha currencies has lent itself well in theory to protest movements that are threatened by the use of state force so wherever you see insurrection or uprisings around the world and

we've covered that recently with the black ice matter protests we see all the signs promoting between a black america or solves this as we've spoken to the character and we see it lebannon where they're burning down they're actually. burning down their banks because it hasn't been yet they haven't like it hasn't opened their eyes completely even though their transactions are being censored i.e. they're not able to withdraw certain amounts of money beyond a certain amount of money but they're but they're trying they're to get dollars we also see that venezuela where the dollar is a preferred medium or right so occupy wall street back about 2008 period that was even before pick wine was on the same but there was this idea that you know what maybe we need to go after wall street maybe that's the source of our problems so that was the beginning of the transition from a social spent tallit to an anti feel money mentality and now we have the global insurrection against banker occupation as people begin to understand that the way

forward in terms of. achieving some equality and justice and we saw this in another campaign called defund the police right so it's idea of defunding right so occupy wall street the funding so activists are starting to figure out like maybe it's the money maybe it's the money right so now what we're going to see very quickly is this idea and the the confidence to understand that you have to defund the money itself defund. that's the only way forward until that happens and you are a slave it's not just the individuals but like whoever was 1st on that system we've covered this you know it's a pyramid scheme by nature that's what a few scheme is and that's why those who had the most wealth and power already in 1971 when we went off the global gold standard have most of the wealth right now that's why we see this huge generational income gap not income but wealth gap between the generations since because the older generations were there at the

beginning of the pyramid scheme you know and the black eyes matter protests they're talking about bitcoin as an alternative for the financial system that had 0 press them for so long and in terms of this censorship however we're seeing it move to the national. states how we have here they covered the fact that in catalonia so they catalonians want their independence or some of them do and the e.u. is basically censoring their ability to raise funds in your o's and use the banking system for what they deemed an illegal referendum so they mentioned that organisations such as the catalonia government were using bequeathing to finance and fund independence referendums declared illegal after it was and the acted the spanish government alleged that the catalonia movement was using bitcoin to hide its expenses but it would have made little sense in any case to conduct financial transactions with the ledger of trust that constitutes to the spanish and european

financial system that was going to smash the catalonian referendum right so catalonia spend long simmering separatist movement and we have these types of separatists in sovereignty seeking movements all over the world and they've been during the arab spring for example there was a huge outcry about we want to take power back from the monarchs in the middle laws etc and so finally with big coin there is a path toward self sovereignty and group sovereignty and individual sovereignty and so the penny is dropping so to speak or the toshi is dropping in these activists on our understanding that socialism is not the debate that's never ever going to be a relative relevant relevant that debate is toast it's didn't like the americans left wing like a bernie sanders for example they talk about socialism but he might as well put on a powder growing in strength around you know it's a medieval costume or something that's so far west happening right now the truth is

that if you want individual sovereignty if you want justice if you want on the sensor a ball on confiscate a bolt indestructible wealth that's all the one way to go that's bit calling so remember what we talk about the black lives matter they're told you know in 1000. sixty's they're given the civil rights act and they're allowed to you know all the red lining is supposedly supposed to and all these sort of things the jim crow laws and they're like here you're free and then they enter a system whereby technically ok you're free you're given your rights you're free it's up to you but actually the whole system the monetary system is set against them the same thing here with catalonia what the situation was is that by international law they have the right to self-determination right but if you the financial system however has their own laws and their own regulations and they could cut these people off from self-determination from referendums from organizing

so there you see the. case of self-determination not being possible because private corporations can do whatever they want yes what i call interest rate apartheid right so it's the banks have the ability along with the corrupt politicians to say you there and that part of town you can borrow money at 0 percent or less than 0 percent you over there at that part of town you have to borrow money at 20 percent or 30 percent or a payday loan of 2000 percent so they don't mess that that's the new jim crow laws are determined by goldman sachs and j.p. morgan by selectively making interest rate borrowing costs different into different parts of town if you live in the ghetto then jamie dimon will say your cost of borrowing will be much higher so he's engaging in interest rate apartheid again you know you have the system whereby the system itself is corrupt and biased ok it has like the oligarchs or of the banking system are favored and their friends

are favored over the other people outside the ring the same you have with free speech like we the public domain now is facebook and twitter and yet they're private companies so they could cut you off and censor you as they're doing to the president now. and so this censorship resistant sort of thing is starting to play out in the bitcoin domain because you know the self sovereignty from a nation has always been gold you accumulate gold and then what happened in the past year or 2 when venezuela wanted their gold from the bank of england nope we're going to censor that you don't get it back and arguing here i'm not going to debate anything about my darrow or what you want to argue about him this is about just the like remove the name and just has to get rid of over your you know any sort of partisan spin or ideological spin or hatriot or anything like that pushed by

a cable news just think of any country country they had some gold held in country b. which was a big you know giant economy that stores a lot of gold bank of england and they refused to give it back so now this country a venezuela is looking for a solution to how to get hard money because obviously their currency the bowl of r. is not hard at all it is crumbling right so here you have a remarkable thing is venezuela tried their own crypto currency there's a bad name for it in the crypto community what you call one of these things they tried their own crypto and we know a lot of other countries are talking about starting their own crypto. but it failed us well the government is officially taking bit coin as payment for passports and looking to accumulate hard money right so when they announced their crypto i said you know it this is a good thing because it's a stepping stone right as

a stepping stone toward because and so now they've reached that point and this is what i've said at that time and this also is the beginning of the global hash war so now venezuela will start to actively mind because to strategically and they have cheap energy to do so iran has already got 3 percent of the global house right so now venezuela i think will get 3 or 5 percent pretty quickly and then at some point america will say we've got to answer the space race of the 21st century by mining big quien and then i'll try to see 20 percent of the hatchery then security of course goes up dramatically and price goes 240-050-0000 you know this reminds me a lot of the year 1500 because in the 1500 the european nations the people of europe grew tired of the church you know for it had been there for 1500 years the corruption of that yes just like the corruption of the monetary actually and they got tired of the censorship they got tired of all the wars and all the problems read read that if they were wars but also read the

canterbury tales 2 you see all the corruption on there and so then the renaissance right so then the renaissance happened and people like leonardo da vinci and to make a long follow they boss through the monopoly of the church on thought and they cracked it open and that gave why davis the enlightenment they gave us the rights of map it gave us the united states of america and the constitution and i state it all happened in 1500 as the church became calcified and ossified and tired of the reformation of course happened with martin luther so this is what big quite is it's the referee mation all those systems around the world trying to choke free speech and that that will not abide that will not abide. no not not about what happened absolutely not no but you know what because bitcoin is the mona lisa of the 21st century it's self-aware it is observing us through the quantum mechanical aspects of the technology and it's channeling the eyes of god so this is god looking at us

through the protocol and trying to figure out how do we fix this human species because they've gone way off track due to central banking so you're saying basically that the birth of big point in 2008 the white paper and then the actual genesis block in 2009 was like the renaissance and then that led to the enlightenment ultimately and so we're at that sort of space you know time is compressed here in the future compared to 1500 so we're seeing a compression of the evolution and you know in the last moment here i want to say you know with this imperial power and the exorbitant privilege of the dollar e.c. we're at the end game here because i don't think this is what we're never able to go back we're never able to go back for honest work honest pay honest anything study from the university of chicago found that 68 percent of those who were made unemployed since $1000.00 crisis began are getting more in benefits then they lost

and earnings so. it's chu you know this is always called like an all right talking point but the data from the actual university of chicago shows that in fact people are earning more 68 percent are earning more that is actual bread and circuses yes no longer. reference to something that might happen but that's what the romans did to keep the crowd busy so you're saying it's all going backwards because after the roman empire fell after the bread and circuses then we had the dark ages and the renaissance was a response of the dark ages. looking back at classical art and ideas and. back to classical ideas of honest money and so you know so it all makes sense. well there you under 935 yeah i don't think i can say because i'm being sponsored by the copyright place chairs that sat well we had take a break and when we come back much more on censored content coming your way.

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

the primary purpose of history is to understand the past as a guide to understanding the present and future history should not be deemed as feeling goodness knowledge because a lot of history is faithful. so how should we find the right balance is that you sign the life. you. are going to be. or the lucrative you who are. right. you. might. be right.

welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max keyser time now to go to the cherry he's a pick corner in venezuela and founder and c.e.o. of coins sprit dot com he's traveled to 35 countries this entire life has been lived in a recession oh my god this is going to be interesting alexandra welcome to the kaiser report thank you very much for having aged a max of course venezuela is known for its hyper inflation and for the strict u.s. imposed sanctions censoring any financial transactions with the bank does bitcoin fix this particularly on the level of the individual sale the level of individual yes but despite i mean it set a bit so as one of the most. obvious. and in human history and after a high degree of lation of business. it's one thing high her big point is

a rat and why has it. all out by energy markets. where. you do see a lot of what you said were there are met incentives. right now. where the past i mean since 98 when raised and they're at rest now that. she established the exchange rate and the bodies are gonna be valued by 70 i just met her. and we went for a. smaller the last friday. so yes. pretty. special problems now. i'm just huge and you need at. least

a little monday and then approaching conversational banking sister benigna it's great and you. lamed the last words rather than say despite all of the next 10 years and why we are i mediocre. we're no more all right well the biggest problem in venezuela as i see it is not necessarily the political system or the political leaders but that it's not functioned effectively as a colony of america's oil companies and bad such has a lot of problems as any colony does now the government and about as whale a day kind of dip their toe into crypto with the introduction of the petro at the time i said it was not going to work but it might be an interesting bridge to big coin it is that was what's going on you call that high and i think look it's basically a free market for bitcoin. the government advertising purchase currency he's not

only on television but also like on the highway on the highway you see ads about their currency exchanges you have already now like national ice changes and they're all pretty bad oh petrol is not working yes that's a date for me to take a logical standpoint book from any drivel stadler is working very well and it's expanding the usage of hatteras expand you can actually use up astro gas station and pay for gas with castro and the other $1.00 will receive those batteries at a rate of 60 dollars 60 dollars per haps or. if there is evil and the prices and the sort of barrel oil. and she got more so it's kind of a subsidy right there something that subsidizing gas will always either. now there is also as he asked. i said to days ago you're not you're not able to pay for your

best passport using the t.c.p. server where i have to say i don't think there's anywhere else you know where you can do that so i guess this is a big waste and they actually you're going to accomplish. that as nick borders on the low here you're going to say you're going to get police always and also how this point we're actually going to go on amazing chad ok all right next year. next year. and you could be here i'll i look forward to it i love empanada now. there's the bill so the government's taking back going out the passport service and the government is that actively looking at to call in and is now taking back point it out a my thought is that once a government like venezuela realizes that if they were to start mining are

accumulating because they could potentially have the only hard money currency in the world and it could kick off a hash war around the world the global hash war where you already see iran for example it's got 3 percent of the global half tray potential event as if they simply switched to pick points they already my me just what else will come between those. lows like about one to 2 percent of the global hashing power. and we're one of the most aggressive commerce in the war and what this that i think we all already have. there are states. that people who have electricity you know they treat great sales like basically my knee does not stop in those states i told them to live when i went on during the last year or 2 by congress and then i was invited for. yes or no circle of that ingenious and i told you mangy officers of the base are becoming he says do not

poll all points your one of the big 4 years there is no other way spiritedly n. ot practice this not all are still pretty there's actually no other currency other than it there guys it's not tied to any state or separate groups and showing one feels that ominous is basically right max so yes look there is a government has a huge big warehouse that again people don't know. they're trying to figure out a way or how little they have their own solution or big point not 300 have big fat in your ear. again it's just going to get on the guilty ball a lot of the league was restless almost a 1000000000 dollars that year west got a $5000000.00 loss or hire new lagos we have one of. your real you're the satellites. in the world of the leafless

and then something bigger you know the trade with russia trade with their. search. engines you know mexico money and it's just some people grow it inside of it was. eating all the local and national markets and reshape currency float and it's not me about the u.s. dollar it's all you want 7 yet it's on every single currency not only because this is breaking news out of europe you're saying that venezuela's already got one to 2 percent of the global half right as i mentioned iran's got roughly 2 to 3 percent of global hash right so the global hash war has begun you've got 2 countries venezuela iran has energy costs are cheap so they're able to be competitive in that mining space obviously in countries like germany or the united states maybe

less the u.s. is changing now but it depends on your cost of energy is a big component into your success as big quite mining so these countries that were energy rich that became colonies of america's oil empire like iran and venezuela and colonies of america now for decades they're kicking back and saying wait a minute let's take our cheap oil and mind the hardest currency ever known in the history of mankind and we will beat you in the global currency game so this is exciting and like to see competition on pro-competition you know america's got a bit fat and lazy over the heirs and less and less of a you know a desirable country now in this independence week in america. what message do you have for americans who may be worried about the warning from yale economist stephen roach she's. talking about a dollar collapse so you've lived in a bowl of our collapse and hyperinflationary collapse and you know what that's what that's like so what message can you tell americans now that they're about to enter

into a u.s. dollar collapse ending this session fear be edible not the people that should fear their government. look i there's some talk of the united states out ok that way that that takes the game all it saw sideways ok has lost lost its value it was stopped it will just continue building on itself and it is and it is a nonstarter site and it's as i said on several o'hare and says it went by past 2 weeks ago. it is interesting to me that people still have some sort of faith and the system and the global center back in the system and the government systems and it's because people are afraid right. you said there's no doubt in my words i say we live and we live in a church whole reality and non-linear are starting to understand so big

boy more than just a remittance for a heart monitor or whatever i see it as the 1st law all digital content and human as ever created yes no hungry you can totally be part of it i should talk about how it goes learn how to drive big play phone hell learn how to have back or learn how dishonest it was because you're actually not one of the best buy and sell because services are located how come up how to understand how to use them there is an easy target to use that have a ok. the other major morgan chase him up my count and i have been dealing with like for a pretty great i can't even call up my on line and you are correct it's stupid so. the banking system inside the us is no more no longer ok there's i think there still are not even a 5th amendment in the united states. there's nothing that governments in europe is big or so and there's any way that you want to go against governments i don't want

i don't care what the or the way the nose the full weight of doing that as if i could always call you know me and what i say all in a big quarter is not only putting all of your savings a big media are behind it this is a good time to let me what actually is actually understanding more about it and become part of the community because it's all in there and in the end look big like it's because the owner of co-locate is handy and the most routed gallery of the globe which is not new in france it's the energy there ok and that's why it's not so hot. so that little bit last night and i got to cut it off there great message to the american people thanks for being on the kaiser report thank you very much for having me on the show and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stays in everett like to thank our guests he's the one and late alice son judge of jerry of calling spree dot com if you like get

in touch with us on twitter it's kaiser reports on bio. seemed wrong. to shape our. answer. and in. the trail. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is our 2 u.k. . lobby abounds our teacher analysts from broadcasting in the country and urges other e.u. states to do the same we have the reaction from moscow and broadcaster george galloway. all those countries is this good stuff we'll be able jocks that they want jobs this should watch for our freedom of speech should watch for the free market. bigger city of leicester goes into lockdown as the merrick's presses his worries about the economic impact $36.00 locations are identified as coronavirus hotspots across the u.k. . u.k. prime minister boris johnson announces his plans to boost the economy off to the

nationwide lockdowns but hits the government could increase taxes contrary to his election manifesto we hear from a tax expert and also full but liberal democrat leader summons cable it's simply i mean that the sun was in the room was ridiculously small in relation to the region . we didn't build. and adults as professional body is forced to apologize following its decision to go coronavirus a lifestyle disease we talked to a health expert. here at 7 channels i dodged other european union member states to follow its lead the country is using e.u. sanctions aimed at dimitri who runs the russia today news agency not despite the

similarity in names egos other reports. the lottery has banned r.t. some 7 or r.t. channels on its soil this includes r.t. arabic r.t. spanish or r.t. documentary for instance but what is interesting is white because they didn't just slap a boiler plate reason like calling r.t. from and sponsored propaganda no they have said that while r t is headed by a man who is under european sanctions and therefore the channel has to be van but r t is not how did it by a man at all artes headed by a woman her name is margarita simonyan and she's the editor in chief but the person that the lothian government have in mind is neutral and he's the head of a russian news agency which name translates into english as russia today but again r.t. is just r.t. now it has been just artsy for many years no longer is called russia today and

moreover these are 2 separate companies indeed the news agency did establish artsy some 15 years ago but since then not only the agency changed its name but also the 2 companies went to separate ways and be tricky had nothing to do with the establishment of the channel still largely this didn't stop largely a from from issuing the ban r.t. has already released a statement sort of tongue in cheek saying questioning the logic behind banning for instance r.t. spanish or r.t. arabic in lafayette which is of baltic nation probably doesn't have too many arab speaking viewership just there but again some critics are saying that this falls into look into the line of some baltic nations hampering the work of russian journalists and especially r.t. . broadcaster george galloway told me that the move is a blow for press freedom. they are client states of the united states of the e.u.

or western countries they're being told to do it i don't believe the result is the same the people of those countries in this case like the us will not be able to access media that they want jack says so much for our freedom of speech so much for the free market george can you see this decision being with us. well i hope so but it's more likely to spread that there are many of our client states in the area on the periphery of the european union and it's quite likely that those states are going to limit what a lot this is done unless of course others are public backlash which there should be we are told to the european union of the west in general stance far

too little designed for uk law rather than to our media stars and lower sproule people pick their own flowers. we see what happens in reality is something different when significant numbers of people reach out for our keep the government reach out for the repress butter. when we want as the english city of let's take goes back into lockdown the man has expressed his concerns about the economic impact it will have on the area that's as figures show the number of corona virus cases is rising in 36 other locations across the u.k. r.t.u. case chad epistatic as well. the city has now become the 1st city across the united kingdom to enter into a targeted localised lockdown it means that the lockdown over there will be extended by 2 weeks at least according to the government now that comes as the rest

of england will be preparing to ease unless their lock downs as of this weekend with the reopening of pubs bars and restaurants are speaking this morning boris johnson said re-imposing the lockdown is the sensible thing to do and is led by the science he's also just tweeted out saying that he has spoken to the mayor of leicester and they will monitor the situation plus of course he thanks the people of leicester for their patience now as a result of that hancock announced the measures late last night it means that most nonessential retail shops will be closed as of today is and schools across the area of leicester will also close down as of thursday now while the local authorities including the mare think this is the right way to go it's headed in the right direction and does the safest thing for the people of leicester there are severe concerns when it comes to economic impacts we have from a circular stage in the sure that there will be schemes put in place and obviously the schemes will need to operate both within the boundary in the city and within

the county area or beyond our administrative boundary because the area that's you know being locked down extends beyond the limits of the area. we've been promised that there is support coming in but of course that it is on quantified and whether we're returning to some of the earlier schemes and this is a board or something that is specific for us i don't yet know obviously i would be very concerned indeed if the listed businesses were significantly disadvantaged promoting to spend longer in lockdown the mood of the rest of the u.k. there's also a huge anger and frustration growing in leicester. well particularly from the matter that we just heard of because of course around 10 days ago we heard from the health secretary announcing there's been an outbreak in leicester however the old fart is we're not given any data or analysis or any science information as to

exactly where the outbreaks were where the hot spots for us were any data whatsoever so they argue the government has been too slow to keep everybody in the loop there is another concern though as of today where will the police be in all of this how in fact will a targeted localized lockdown be enforced by the police at all how will they make sure that the people of lester's stay in leicester and don't decide to go to neighboring towns and villages to eat and drink when the restaurants and bars reopen for the rest of the u.k. some establishment have so they will check i.d.'s and addresses for and anyone from left to won't be allowed in but that's something that really will have to be in some way in force and how will it be on a wide to scale nothing's been set on it we've also heard from the local police saying they're particularly confused because they don't know what the public can and can't do so there's certainly a lot of uncertainty going into this local lockdown many people in leicester feel that they're being treated as a guinea pig for the rest of the united kingdom because now we're seeing more day

to remember that lester is not alone when it comes to a spike in corona virus cases public health england has released some figures showing that 36 or 30 is up and down the country have seen spikes favoring and will she have seen a 300 percent increase we call it a week gloucestershire doncaster is quite high up there too as is london boroughs wandsworth and ealing they too have seen a significant rise in cases interestingly they're the only city to go into local lockdown is leicester but only seeing a 5 percent increase week on the week now local authorities say they will carefully monitor the situation going forward we have heard that the government stresses that . well take these precautions anywhere else in the u.k. if a need when be so ready there's a growing sense unfair and concern that yes last of may be the 1st place across the united kingdom to go into a local targeted lockdown there's

a feeling that it may not be the last. night u.k. prime minister boris johnson has committed to a new wave of public spending in a bid to boost the economy after the coronavirus lockdown johnson likened it to democrat us president of franklin d. roosevelt new deal this was a series of public works projects and financial reforms which helped drag america out of the great depression in the 1930 s. however the prime minister insists his still a capitalist as ours unquote use as i say all this that it sounds like a prodigious amount of government intervention. it sounds like a new deal. all i can say is that is so then that is how is meant to sound and how it's meant to be because that is what the times demand my friends i am not. a communist i believe it is also the job of government

to create the conditions for free market enterprise but the plans come as new data from the office for national statistics show the u.k. economy contracted by over 2 percent during the 1st 3 months of this year the prime minister was also asked if his new deal will affect the conservatives original plan to implement tax cuts and he'd only say that it depended on the treasury. right. because. we. took the. well the plans include a 1500000000 pound investment into hospital maintenance over the course of the year to improve accident and emergency capacity and based infection control schemes an additional 1000000000 will be ringfence for improvements to schools across the u.k.

while a fair that $900000000.00 pounds will be spent on so-called local growth projects including upgrades to 10 cent high streets and the government has also promised $200000000.00 pounds to improve the state of courts and prisons well for what liberal democrat made us of its cable thinks this new deal doesn't go far enough it's rhetoric or it's trying to make him come across as a prime minister who thinks of are the north of england that thinks about employment but it's too late funny i mean that the sums involved are almost ridiculously small in relation to what the gen-u. ine new deal didn't build and there is actually quite worrying things going on there and it will use all this morning's figures showed that completions are social housing i think the lowest since the 2nd world war the government should really introducing benefit sanctions which will penalize people on benefits out of work who can't find junk because they're on seti i think there's

a real battle going on in the treasury and panicking actually over the levels of travel extending the levels of deficits and debts and the amount of money that boris johnson's been given to play with this infrastructure projects are actually minuscule in terms of the size of the tunnels but he also also felt that my 2nd question what it what the answer is it was but how could it work. well we should do a lot more of it but that said just one part of that of course much of the day job losses we're seeing are in the services sector which in the us and not directly out by public works so that we're going to need a more gradual phase out of the fairness game. tax credits or grounds to help companies with training and retraining schemes you know more imaginative support for economic opportunity across the board you know i welcome you know that the those was announced but you know they're really not all that big and also in terms

of the amount of money to send a massive amount of money there for tax rises seem to be inevitable but where should they fall or will the tories implement them well we may get that but that would be a big step back from rational economic policy i mean it was quite interesting a couple of weeks ago some of boris johnson's own economic advisers were making the point that brits and then that other economist i'm going to have to run large deficits and accumulate debts to list crisis is over and then the payback will have to occur over a long period of time. or to discuss the implications of boris johnson's new deal of magic by tax specialists nimesh our next thank you for joining us what do you make of partial suspending plans to get the economy going it's not a massive amount of money as it. no not a huge amount of money and essentially was a welcoming by the prime minister. to restart the u.k.

economy following the curry virus crisis a lot of the packages the infrastructure decisions today we knew about and already they're already in the pre pandemic plans and you're right more he's doing is it is accelerating those spending plans. to inject cash the economy early 2020 and what he was projecting and the government will hope that this was not a factor the wider economy the way i see it is just this and cheerful 'd cost 83 do the battle just to get some money into the economy early in the project it's the cost of a zinger basically is about printing money isn't it. yeah essentially the government wants to just take that money into into the economy it's the 1st step so i would say as the government sort of tentatively ease out lock down and trustful money into the economy they think. that high street people spending power and the multiplier effect within the economy is results or tax rises seem to be on the way

i mean to pay for the virus by a lot if not this $5000000000.00 pound infrastructure spending that's the case is not. well out today the prime minister's speech left a lot of unanswered questions one of those is the need for tax rises. the it's inevitable that they're going to morrow their way out of a lot of the spending the further steam alone they think could cost 200000000000 pounds today's announcement since it in significance really think about those numbers and the prime minister dodged the question partly on whether there will be tax rises repairing c. as chancellor and rightly so. if there are going to be tax rises in the brain and a state pledge which is a. deviation away from this conservative government it also be a break in the trigger lock if they decide to do anything that ancient national insurance and my in the u.s. given the huge amount that they've had to incur in costs let alone all the spending

plans to be stopped the economy. was horrible get you past the way that i think tax rises are generally inevitable percentage point or $0.02 different increase on engine taxes or neck that it's a very easy way of collecting taxes reduced people paying those 3 to pin racists in their employed and we could see tax rises on capital gains tax inheritance tax is something the government has also looked at how to raise the money and $1.00 thing i don't think. is laden business is high business taxes they need to look to those private this is a check to kick start the economy as well he wants to call businesses there and damage from the current us i don't accept that that he has been strained was suggesting. all of incentives or grounds to the help is this is one of the instrument of unnecessary tax rises well the self-employed could also be hit cut that way they only pay tax on profits that they not income. yeah that's right

around the self-employed is an interesting population receiving that hasn't made any secret the fact that he was dismayed about it the self-employed did a less hassle to seat sex especially if a business is through their corporate structures and a themselves to david in turkey those are the population of people that are potentially left behind through some of the government supports james when he announced the self-employed inconceivable ski a few months ago was an afterthought the furniture stated he did come with a bit of warning at the end for receipt. you have to pay for that. and i could see that this is in line. taxes national insurance to self-employed and the employee which is something that's been on the government's radar for some time now this is the perfect excuse to bring something like that and then we've also got changes to the contract and regime to socal out the chief rivals the true deferred you know usual it's. questionable those in a comeback in from mexico the southern border so you can make

a fair share of tax revenue over the next 12 months and watch out if your self employed it's aimed nimesh i thank you very much a day or 2. coming up after the break. i don't his body faces a period health professionals after referring to corona virus as a lifestyle disease and i will speak to one of the. i am you cannot be both with me yeah you know what i

am. odd i know to no crowd. no shots no. action just helps because i am. going to lose track no 1st to. quench your thirst for action. the primary purpose of history is to understand the past as a guide to understanding the present and future history should not be deemed as feeling goodness knowledge it is because a lot of history is painful and change so how should we find the right balance is that you cite the law instead.

of. thank. you the professional body the represents the u.k.'s local doctors the royal college of general practitioners has been forced to apologize after an online conference referred to corona virus as a lifestyle disease the event was called coded 19 a lifestyle disease and the vital role g.p.'s have in beating it or g.p.'s fought to twitter to clarify that the virus isn't a lifestyle disease and expressed their shock and anger at the events named one g.p. pointed out the poverty which has been linked to higher cope with 19 deaths and infection rates isn't a lifestyle choice and another added the other factors linked to the severity of the virus such as age gender and ethnicity aren't lifestyle decisions either in a bid to defend the decision one of the conference coaches doctors so we will

humans said that it was deliberately provocative. we chose a slightly controversial title on purpose to make the link and the connection between covert 19 and lifestyle medicine now of course we know that covert 19 is not a lifestyle disease it's a communicable disease covert 1000 does not affect all people equally so in addition to age and ethnicity people are tired risk of a poor outcome if they have had diabetes obesity heart disease liver disease kidney disease and some cancers and most of those conditions if not all to some extent are linked to lifestyle well the college has since apologized saying it doesn't believe coronavirus is a lifestyle disease it says the purpose of the conference was to provide lifestyle advice to support patients rather than to mislead or offend people. the aussie g.p. does not consider covert 19 to be a lifestyle disease we recognise that the title of today's conference could be

misleading and we apologize for any offense caused the purpose of the conference is to support g.p.'s to give appropriate lifestyle advice to patients. what is discussed this and are joined by public health expert dr nissen in our talk to us right thank you very much indeed for joining us why has corning covered 19 a lifestyle disease been so problematic for medics. thank you well basically let's talk a bit at the well life you know the word lifestyle when using what in relation to health or health outcomes well what do you mean by i don't find it very helpful what we mean by is really behavior you know behavior in terms of rest satisfied or conditions such as obesity or diabetes or high blood pressure and and and and and so behavior really they're always factors affecting behavior they're motivated to facilitate this but are there also barriers and there are reasons why people behave

in certain ways a lot of the these reasons can be outside of somebodies control and so what so and therefore so for example of we take one factor that is linked to at things like obesity and diabetes such as diet having a healthy diet we know that actually to get a healthy diet there are certain factors so you need to get some fresh ingredients we know that healthy diet is more expensive we need you know we need to tell you needed some to cook here in the facilities to cook and we also know that in the u.k. we've got about a quarter just under a quarter of everybody in the u.k. who lives under the poverty line we've got about one in 3 inches of rain who are there with child poverty and actually in with an ethnic minorities that's even higher about 45 percent of children so if we factor these this in another and the other determinants of health of the social economic commercial and environmental designers you know that you know what is lifestyle lifestyle means we need to

support people make healthy behaviors but we need to take account of this and go back to covert and go with as you pointed out their responses such as age just sex issues ethnicity and also living in a deprived neighborhood you know living with poverty and also and also a condition such as diabetes obesity and high blood pressure but also other less fat this includes you know. being a key worker so being a high risk population you know you haven't used the trust of being exposed to the virus you know living in pockets you having you know not being able to avoid you know contacting your job so and some you know 0 hours contracts etc all of these things are not whole and not lifestyle there are things which are really outside the control of the person to make the house just or they make it more difficult there but there are barriers to make some healthy choices but it's understandable that the government wants us all to behave like we're at risk but

older less healthy people are actually more at risk and that's denying it seems to undermine confidence in the health system perhaps. so so so sorry can you repeat that question because that is understandable then that the government has a policy where we want us all to behave like we're all at risk but there are people who are older they are less healthy they are more at risk and perhaps denying it seems to undermine confidence in the house system. yeah i mean there are people who are at risk and the government is pushing you know as well as ask you these people to be more careful but some of them can't be more careful so if you're a diabetic and your you know joint and you and your job requires you to be somewhere and to be exposed to a lot of people are there for a high chance of being exposed to the virus and that that is about does become difficult and a lot of these things are outside of your control obviously behaviors such as social distancing you need to rule you know wearing a face not in enclosed spaces washing your hands all the time and these are very important for everybody to practice both to protect ourselves and to protect as

a doctor misread our own thank you very much and if your thoughts bank you k. . now 3 years after the grandfather tower fire in london the united nations has warned the british government it could be breaking international law by failing to strip tower blocks of combustible cladding the un special rapporteur wrote to the government to express serious concerns about allegations of multiple violations of the human rights to adequate housing united nations has also asked the government to provide more information about its approach to planting removal meanwhile tenants across the u.k. are living in fear of a similar tragedy to the grand felt blaze which claimed 72 lives in 2017. well according to the official data there were 327 high rise buildings with counting in the u.k. in july 29th team 42 buildings were fixture in the year but more have been discovered this leaves the total number of high rise towers without human ian compass it material planting a 307

a ministry of housing spokesperson said the government has given over a 1000000000 pounds to remove unsafe cladding well a former un special rapporteur on adequate housing lay on a fire at told me that the government must take action even with covert 19 still high on the agenda at the time that i filed the communication we understood there to be approximately 360 buildings with this flammable cladding on the exterior which is deeply concerning more concerning is in fact the 600000 approximately people living in the buildings with this crowding who are really living in the with of a great feeling of anxiety and insecurity and believe it or not that's actually part of the human right to housing in other words people shouldn't be living in fear that their housing is going to combust that would be at not compliant with international human rights law around the around housing well a lot of us was going to ask you how much of an impact has

a situation had on tenants mental health a great deal of an impact i have to say we heard from many many tenants and associations of tenants saying that the anxiety levels are high and real that there is even you know some worry of suicide and a real concern because it's not just concern that the building might be flammable that's a real concern and of course the grenfell tragedy you know was such a clear warning sign the inquiry was very clear that the cladding had everything to do with the extent and depth of that fire and the tragedy in the 72 lives lost so people are fearful of that but there. also struggling because they would like to sell their units for example and move somewhere else that feels safer but of course they can't get any lender out no one's going to get a mortgage on a unit that has this cladding on it for example so there's that stress as well i

know the government has committed dollars or i should say pounds toward this but those monies are not really rolling out and so that's obviously of real concern so that would be one of the questions my successor would be asking the government of the u.k. like ok how can you get this program to roll out more swiftly to ensure that everyone's lives are safe especially in the middle of this or already dealing with such stress and then to add to to to their stress this issue is just too unfortunate of the top of the hour our colleagues from america will take site from attaining here in london to buy.
