hello there i'm an old man you're watching in question broadcasting from our to america's national news headquarters in washington d.c. here's today's top story 1st up former republican presidential candidate herman cain has died after his month long battle with that night team meanwhile a number of other politicians are contracting the virus as well so will this prompt any change plus the family of fort hood soldier vanessa is here in the nation's capital to meet with the president and push for a bill that could change the way the military handles sexual harassment complaints

that a small victory for venezuela the south american country wins the right to appeal the u.k. ruling barring access to its own gold reserves will discuss it all right it's time to boost for a new i q. i . mean the former republican presidential candidate tea party activist and businessman has just died of complications from the coronavirus the news of his sudden death comes as kobe 1000 numbers continue to rise in this country and wearing masks in public places has yet to be fully enforced in each state and even in congress are joining us in studio with more on herman cain's passing fair and yesterday you brought us the news representative gomer testing positive for kobe one. the latest with that well so we're going to get to that just

a 2nd but 1st let's go back to herman cain so we have again people still in shock of what's going on you know herman cain not only a business executive a syndicated columnist and a presidential candidate in 2012 he also was one of the biggest fighters of the tea party movement now the announcement actually came from his web site this morning by his editor saying that he died from complications from covert 1000 now as far as where cain contracted the virus they still don't know that exactly you know again how he contrived it but also no word but he did attend president trump's rally as you see here in tulsa oklahoma back on june 20th now here the 2012 presidential candidate posted a photo of him and many other attendees at that rally now masks were provided but the mask wearing was not mandatory unfortunately was in that high risk group for coated not just because he was 74 but he also was a cancer survivor which made him very susceptible to complications however after he was hospitalized june 29th his editor wrote this on his website there were helpful

or season hopeful indicators including a mere 5 days ago when doctors told us that they thought he would eventually recover yet we also felt real concern about the fact that he never quite seemed to get to the point where the doctors could advance him into the recovery phase now ok not only was famous for his 2012 presidential campaign he also had a long career as a prominent businessman where he was an executive at burger king chairman and c.e.o. of godfather's pizza and the president and c.e.o. of the national restaurant association here's a look back at cain in 2012. as a businessman that's what we do we assess and we evaluate you know see it before and not make decisions based upon the knee jerk reaction now kaine was just getting ready to kick off his new show on newsmax t.v. and was very excited about it but unfortunately was only able to tape one episode before being hospitalized and mentally ill growing up and during the $22.00 election cain always had a special place in my heart you know not really with anything as far as politics but he also was

a boilermaker up the purdue university grad just like myself so many of us and other boilermakers across the country are mourning his death today and alumni you know we saw the photo obviously of herman cain at that rally louis girl could not attend the rally. so the update on that house how any update is he doing any better he's appearing to be asymptomatic i think exactly yes so he's a systematic so no symptoms but you'd also have congress you know in an uproar after he did test positive because he was seen all over the halls of congress not wearing a mask especially with gomer called out by video you can see here showing gohmert walking with attorney general bill barr just before tuesday's hearing not socially distance both not wearing a mask now bar was tested and his results did come back negative but they say that he will be tested every day for the next 2 to 3 weeks since cold that can be in your system for 14 days before seeing any signs or symptoms or even just seeing is bara like gomer he is 'd symptomatic ok and just seeing those videos there of how

closely these people are walking with each other through the halls is this going to prompt any mask mandate order mitch mcconnell is saying no the reason why too is you know again with congress and up were you do have mcconnell saying that he doesn't feel the need to enact it now because he doesn't believe masks work or don't work but more the fact that many in the senate they're already wearing masks 247 so mcconnell again saying that he doesn't feel the need to put a mask order in place because they're already doing it themselves. we will see how that plays out with everyone being you know generally a little older exactly hungry so we're going to have 62 in congress that way all right jack thank you so much for that update. 3 months after u.s. army specialist investigate it was last seen her family is now in washington d.c. today calling for justice for her brutal murder and they're not alone. we're here outside the united states capitol where today supporters have gathered from across

the country as you can see behind me right now they are here sharing their stories and their fight to demand justice for an ethic yet that's a day lawmakers are set to introduce legislation aimed at protecting victims of sexual assault in the united states military the i am the knesset bill would create an independent 3rd party to which victims in the military can report sexual assault in a statement the attorney for vanessa's family said quote our soldiers need an outlet that is independent neutral unbiased and gives them resolution that is not conflicted with the military because there is no relationship family and friends of the 20 year old army specialist said she reported being sexually harassed to them but was terrified of reporting it to her superiors because she feared retaliation vanessa was reported missing in april and her body finally located in june dismembered and burnt the main suspects in her murder our fellow soldier who reportedly took his own life when she was found and his a strange wife who claimed vanessa was murdered on the base where she was stationed

at the fort hood army base in texas claims they want an investigation in june and found no supporting evidence but as reports of showing sexual assault in the military has been on the rise in recent years according to the defense department's own records there were 20500 reported instances of unwanted sexual contact in 20 teen the number of reports increased 38 percent from 2016 to 2018 and one out of every 16 military women reported being groped raped or sexually. salted. the phrase i am been tested yet has become a rallying cry for victims in the military who say their assaults were at the hands of their fellow soldiers and their superiors and much like nasa they felt powerless in fear of retaliation if they reported it finances cases garnered support from multiple members of congress and even president from both her family and her supporters from across the nation call for changes to be made at the highest levels

in hopes that other soldiers will not meet the same fate reporting in washington rachel blevins r.t. . and today is the un recognized world day against human trafficking exploitation happens in every country every day and very frequently in big cities it's estimated that around $150000000000.00 a year is earned by those traffickers and 99000000000 of that comes from commercial sexual exploitation so here's the un's executive director from the office of drugs and crime on that every day in every country in the word human traffickers exploit people for profit the poor in the bottom that are good are most at risk over 70 percent of the kick the trafficking victims are women and girls while nearly one 3rd are children who have 19 has m.p. 5 trafficking dangers loss of jobs growing poverty school closures and a rise in online interactions are increasing by that abilities and opening up

opportunities for organized crime groups and joining us to expand on this growing problem is lynn scholl from the alliance to end human trafficking land always good to see you especially on this disturbing trend we just heard from the executive director there from the u.n. she brought up a disturbing new fact coded 19 is actually driving these numbers up she mentioned that with more kids stuck at home and doing classes online this increases. the opportunities that organized crime groups can reach our kids can you talk about that. manila 1st i want everyone to understand what human trafficking is it is using force fraud or coercion to obtain goods or services from another person yes genie is out of the bottle the number one predator for our children and all people is the internet with all of the confusion everything happening around

the world schooling done at home the children are on their devices more than anything what's happening is this is a complete candy shop for these predators and exploiters they are zooming in and just scooping up the children one in 5 children are being approached online around the world for sexual pictures to meet up and we as the adults as parents as educators we need to take a stand and realize all of this is going on and know what the kids are doing online know what their passwords are not have the devices you know in their bedrooms where they can go off for 4 or 5 hours and do what they want have them in a public space in our homes and also we need to go back and learn not to use the internet as a babysitter we have to be proactive and limit our children's use to these devices

that is a scary number 111 in 5 kids being approached by a predator just another us actor that they say drives up these numbers as a stream poverty and political instability or wars that often displaces a lot of vulnerable kids are these women and children being thrashed up for me of migrant camps. it's even simpler than that and more frightening people are hungry. autonomy's no money people want to eat they'll do anything to feed themselves vulnerability of course any type of chaos disruption is where these predators move right in and they're counting on that they're counting on people to not be paying attention the crime groups moving in the corn out of gangs their business as human trafficking we used to say drugs but now we know it's human trafficking so any where there's instability it's very simple there's no money people are desperate and they'll do anything and i want to point out that not being

snatched because over 50 percent yes that does happen snatching but over 50 percent is familial trafficking meaning minola the husband traffics the white the mother traffics the children anyway to make money but how scary is that that over 50 percent is done by family members or somebody they know they're familiar with wow and i'm glad you brought that up because i think a lot of people overlook that that right it is it's not stranger danger like what we were all taught growing up and then while that overwhelming bulk of trafficking is for sex about 30 percent of it is forced labor or modern day slavery some of those victims have been duped into those right where their rights are taken away when they enter these jobs. yes again vulnerable people looking to make money looking for opportunity looking to better themselves are told we have a job for you. come with us very naive so again it goes back to before

all of this occurs and happens we have to all stand together this is the global pandemic happening we have to educate we have to know before these things happen we have to know what is going on and teach schools families this is the number one priority because again this is all based on people looking to make money or to better themselves and their very naive to this whole human trafficking yet it's just exploding around the globe yeah absolutely the numbers are continuing to grow amid a sea actually i'm ed koch at 19 and that's why folks like you have to be there to be vigilant and teach us about what's happening out there from the alliance to end human trafficking thank you so much. thank you. now to the latest coded 1000 numbers worldwide cases now over 17000000 with 668000 reported deaths the top 3

a british court decision on $31.00 tons of venezuelan gold that was deposited with the bank of england now it's valued at around one point $2000000000.00 u.s. dollars the u.k.'s high court recognized one guy i don't know as the president and refused to release the funds to nicolas maduro this comes as venezuela is dealing with crippling u.s. sanctions on crude and others and being exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic so here to weigh in former u.k. and george galloway so george we have not heard a peep from the camp on this little victory nor anything from boris johnson or dominic rab why is everyone suddenly silent. well when i was a kid you know we used to say something was a safe as the bank of england and the government's decision and the high court upholding all of the rendon to the bank of england as unsafe as any bank 80 were in

the world you might as well put your your gold reserves or your sovereign wealth in i don't know the bank or panama the bank of england's credibility was shredded by the politicized decision to refuse to allow the sovereign government of venezuela access to its funds and by the way not directly it didn't want the money itself it wanted the money to go to the united nations in new york which would administer of those funds on their behalf for pandemic relief so it was always a cover us decision no i believe i've said to you before on here that the british judiciary is one of the least corrupt and one of the last uncorrupted relatively speaking of all the british institutions one by one those institutions have collapsed in credibility over the last decades but in the courts you are at least

more likely to get justice than you are in any of the other institutions parliament the police the b.b.c. and strong and this i think is encouraging especially for supporters of julian our son because this shows a sliver least of judicial independence based on the fact that this decision was a very part of our swan in terms of britain's own rules we recognise whoever is in power actual power in possession or power in any territory not who we. like it to be but who is in effect of control of the is of course. by the way the last time we broke the rule was when we continued to recognize paul paul as the leader of cambodia even though 'd he'd long been. oh boy. i wouldn't want to be

associated with paul pot but george in venezuela as attorney calls that appeal he would agree with you calls that appeal an important step forward for the case saying quote it's an incredibly rare move for a trial judge to give leave to appeal against their own judgment and we are pleased to have been granted a limited appeal so what's your take on how far this can go and you know any possible political pressure that might come of it. well very well could see the original decision overturned for the reason not just mentioned about britain's rules on recognition but also because of course the government of venezuela is recognized by the great majority of countries in the world it does hold the seat the united nations and british diplomats in new york are dealing

every day on every day matters with the diplomats of the moderate government. in the united nations so it's cover us and cover vast decisions not so legal i use the term in the legal sense perverse decisions i.e. contradict the logic contrary to past president contrary to tradition even our judgments seldom some vive in the upper reaches of the judiciary sort of if i were venezuela i'd be very happy indeed with today's news now and that's why why do the conservative ministers binge as you say ever since the court opined now speaking of quite what happens george let's let's look down the road look into your crystal ball what happens to the quiet now camp if the judge grants it in this way toward the door oh or what happens if it doesn't

and the gold he says belongs to white out. well i think the water is trickling out the bottom of the hole and bucket of want to go i don't the british and the americans are still fully behind them but many of the european countries for example that were balanced by the trumpet ministration into premise to a recognition of a man who is now not even the leader of the opposition in venezuela now. her mind the actual president is now effectively a month in the street in caracas claiming to be the pres the many johnson across europe have begun to realize the absurdity of the position i think the trumpet ministration or oversold the likelihood of moderate all fleeing or being overthrown . coming to power now they look foolish and they recognize the proof of the

after all this good how do any country we could recognize donald trump or joe biden their respective of what the election says more likely there are many global south countries realized that they could be directed knows that they've done their sovereign wealth could be stolen but i repeat my warning that i gave you before if you've got any money don't buy and get in it's no longer safe i think all the young people are moving towards bitcoin george but that's a whole nother conversation to be had i always appreciate your taking george galloway thank you so much. and back here stateside a 4.2 magnitude earthquake rattled southern california san fernando valley just before 4 30 am local time the united states geological survey confirmed the quake this morning that little quake which felt like a jolt was centered near parkway mother about 23 miles northwest of downtown los

blood one nil and the reds well they got some momentum less than 2 minutes later a sloppy pass allows for christian opposite to attack slides through the lack leg lack of brooke and brooke with the left footed shot from center to put his squad up 2 to nil perth late to the often to game a 32nd minute rule for an early with a pass to get them to gabriel popovic hill get it within a range of christian popovich who sent in to get perth on the board $2.00 to $1.00 adelaide though not happy to have a board of than one another corner kick goal maka swings it to a cluster of heads of 4 opposite not that into an empty net reds lead $31.00 that's 4 goals in 5 minutes if you're keeping track united looking for insurance before half time then halloran gets down left wing into the box options goal or he takes a shot and sends it past board goalkeeper at liam ready adelaide leave for 22nd half to the 5th minute ryan kiddo with a challenge down the left but half the young beer takes it off his hands really and

drilled a shot red with a $51.00 lead and a nice back foot there perth tries something in the 73rd minute formerly just the ball down with the low shot scores a glorious 2nd goal of the game perth added one more in the 83rd minute and make it $5.00 to $3.00 but that would be all the folks actually get a much needed 3 points from the win it's that level in the standings with perth. and then oh it's great to see sports coming back. then and will be today the phillies did end up finding now 2 players 2 of personnel tested positive and now their series against a blue jays at home will be postponed this weekend so more and more bad news out of baseball gee i wonder about had anything to do with the marlins if i were the betting gal which i'm not i would put at least a $1000000.00 on that yet i had that i actually know if i had that i probably keep it marching but i want right barrett and thank you so much and coming up but at 3 o'clock over a lot more news just as new york cops make a covert arrest
