4:02 am
the city there's only to transfer after a little wait for the next arriving at lampedusa and then completely routed facilities so we can have a chance for you know honestly it's under severe pressure right now. meanwhile france in the chaos accusations after a wreck or number of illegal channel crossings over the past week london paris to adopt a tougher stance and stop the migrant boats before they even set sail for the u.k. dubinsky has the story. this small boat is powering its way towards the english coast a board of 5 migrants hoping to make the u.k. that final destination scenes like this have become colman with illegal migrant crossings over the english channel already said to be a record high now there are warnings that they could reach crisis

4:04 am
i expect to be even bigger as the government is doing nothing one woman head of the u.k. border force says all illegal migrants need to be returned to france. if they want to come to the u.k. they need to make their case on the french side and if they are found in the waterways we've make it is far as dover will say i'm sorry but you go back there and that's where you will be interviewed and processed on the french side others warn the increasing crossings is due to french police run. bring up the vixens at my group camps around the port kalai has more anguish refugees in cali as if they were just once again clear settlements force people on to boston and drive them to distant nations are known the british home office though says any illegal migrants will be interviewed and deported where appropriate the french are also intercepting some illegal crossings but plenty are still slipping through what is clear is that
4:05 am
despite joint cooperation to deal with illegal crossings the problem not only persists but it could actually be getting worse so let's even ski ati paris. president of trump is buying tracked on earlier threats to prevent the purchase of the chinese owned by microsoft now he's saying instead the u.s. government should be taking from the sale. date of around september 15th at which point it's going to be out of business in the united states but of somebody whether it's microsoft or somebody else buys it that will be interesting i did say. if you buy it whatever the price is that goes to whoever owns it because i guess it's china essentially but more than anything else i said a very substantial portion of the price is going to have to come into the treasury of the stage and microsoft or so that's looking to acquire tick tocks operations in

the u.s. canada australia new zealand the social media platform has been valued at $50000000000.00 by some investors as we just heard the op could be banned from america if a deal with microsoft isn't completed by mid september the terms of ministrations long accused the company of sharing its user data with the chinese government and allegation that's been denied by to talk on the americas rick sanchez and his guests discuss this issue. but years we've heard that the chinese tech companies were stealing our secrets and now we're hearing about it kind of goes both ways the reality is these things go both ways. trade wars and sunshines and gore. was. just the opposite feels the edge know all the chinese side all the war by the way i just joined. the. always schools to the.
4:07 am
lists that the idea of the white house microsoft collaborate to buy a company the themselves. well not to. go to. don't seem curious doesn't it but the that of states or the white house in cooperation with microsoft would seemingly ban a company and then have microsoft come in and buy it if it protectionist it is an area of protection s. and i think that this was the only way that the that they were able they were able to issue this ban on tech talk because when china decided to ban facebook they did that also under the guise of national security and it was also very protectionist but they banned facebook early on before facebook was able to gain any traction with in china by banning facebook there wasn't a huge uproar from the community banning take doc in the u.s. at this current day and age when everybody is joining at calvary just joining it already when so many people are already on the platform and their revenue streams
4:08 am

4:09 am
in the currency wars they fall behind in 5 g. as we've spoken so much before and the u.s. is finding themselves in a very uncomfortable situation which is why they kind of have to kind of steel take talkback to america and that is the way that a lot of chinese people are viewing this one that they're viewing it as the u.s. is stealing technology that is homegrown and idea that was made in china but also on the flip side of it a lot of chinese locals they're also very angry at the c.e.o. for now bowing to the u.s. embargo and the pressure. it's been 2 years since 3 sisters were arrested in moscow and charged with the premeditated killing of a father who allegedly abused them the case of christina maria. has gone to widespread media attention with the public divided about their actions charges against the 2 older sisters will now be examined by a jury with the case of the youngest maria being reviewed by the court separately. across the story for us. a story so how rowing it couldn't be true and yet also so
4:10 am
how it was hard to believe it could have been made up the story of the hot story on sisters has gripped people or across russia. but now a new tun in that to us saga will see the eldest sister is trying to fight jury they faced charges of premeditated murder and if found guilty could spend 20 is behind bars as for the youngest who was 17 at the time when she was deemed mentally incapable of committing modern so will stand trial separately facing

4:12 am
i will beat you up ok. your prostitutes new will die as prostitutes this case has become a sensation here in russia and sparked a heated debate about domestic violence legislation to protect its victims and the line between self-defense and for fair and a recent survey prove just how divisive this story is with 41 percent supporting the sisters and 29 percent condemning them almost 400000 people have also signed a petition to manteca their release as well as calling for the father to be posthumously charged for his crimes people are also taking to the streets determined to. help them are. not part of.
4:13 am
the public outcry was so strong in fact that last year the prosecutor general pushed for the charges to be downgraded to self-defense so that was laid to revive on premeditated murder was put on the table something that has been welcomed by the late father's relatives who argue that the goals are not innocent which was not we welcome the course decision and have no fear the jury won't believe they've been very void or leaked to the press you know we don't think there was any cruelty it was severity and he was a man of discipline and he wanted to raise good goes with the jews and to according to the examination the history and sisters are a danger to society and i was here. with the trial before a jury now set to move forward all eyes will be following the fate of 3 young women who one night 2 years ago desperately. continues to shop and to rise.

in the u.s. lawmakers. expressed their intention to abolish part of the city's police department and replace it with a brand new civilian led public safety system this is a response to the ongoing black lives matter protests the proposed police divestment plan contains a number of key points it aims at reducing the budget of the local police department and remove certain functions from law enforcement on top of that it envisions the creation of a department of community safety and violence prevention but some locals were unhappy about the idea last saturday there was a peaceful rally against it outside seattle city hall the protesters voiced their support for the police and denounce the campaign to defund law enforcement agencies across the country and the state has carried us flags and placards with messages such as protect our police and by the blue sea pumper a member of the national police association and himself a retired officer says the local authorities have no idea what consequences the
4:15 am
plans could have. this point the seattle city council is like your kids have a socialist candy shop they see their opportunity and they're seizing it to get their ideology across and they're not really thinking ahead as to what the ramifications are going to be for having civilians handle what are police calls we've been training police officers at police academies based on information and science that's been studied you know over decades and we're refining it as we go along in police work obviously isn't perfect it's never going to be perfect or we strive to make it better. you know they they think they can look at a call afterwards and say oh well look at this the police didn't need a gun they didn't used to use force but when we go to a call we don't know we're not going to need to use force or need a gun until after the calls already does sometimes uses of force and eagerly of course happen on calls where you least expect it. the best seals the deal with

poland to boost its troop presence in the european country then after relations with germany had soured we'll bring you that story on more after the break. 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. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the u.s. and poland finalize the new defense deal on monday now an additional $1000.00 u.s. military personnel will be deployed to poland while your correspondent be to all of us the story. washington and warsaw of put pen to paper on on and how the defense cooperation agreement is the way that they're calling it what it means is that 1000 u.s. troops will be deployed to poland in announcing the signature of this deal to get
4:18 am
the agreement of this deal defense secretary marc aspers said that it was in part to target russia poland of course has a border with the russian xplain of kaliningrad. d.-e. dca will enable an increased enduring u.s. routine presence of about $1000.00 personnel and will enhanced deterrence against russia strength the need to reassure allies and i would presence in poland nato is eastern flank will improve our strategic and operational flexibility u.s. president donald trump has said that he would like to see more nato troops stationed in poland in the future particularly since warsaw is willing to pay for them to be there. we would send some additional troops they're going to pay for that they'll be paying for the sending of additional troops and we'll probably be moving them from germany to poland well it comes a week after the news that $12000.00 u.s.
4:19 am
troops would be leaving germany and redeployed elsewhere ostensibly over a argument between washington and berlin over germany's defense spending and contributions to nato but the real rift between berlijn and washington may go a little deeper and may involve well something that won't go away showed us president donald trump be voted out of office in november i'm talking about the nord stream to gas pipeline now a group of u.s. senators from oil and gas states there have put forward a sanctions bill that well could well target german companies they want to sell germany liquefied natural gas from the united states the thing is that's more expensive than piping gas directly from russia under the baltic sea straight into germany now poland of also lent a helping hand when it comes to this issue as well just this week we've seen the polish anti monopoly watchdog slap a $57000000.00 fine on gazprom the main russian gas while the
4:20 am
gas giant that's behind this nord stream to gas pipeline so it does seem that there is continuing. rift between germany and the united states it is seeing those some of those troops that were leaving germany to poland but of course at the root of this seems to be an argument over energy. with the number of covert infections topping 18000000 globally the race for a vaccine is intensifying but the world health organization has urged people to manage expectations we all hope to have a number of effective vaccine to start can help prevent people from infection however the reason or silver bullet at the moment and then might never be the hardest hit country in the world is the united states which is registered almost 5000000 cases pumping huge amounts of money into funding a vaccine but if one is found it may prove out of reach for those who can't afford
4:21 am
it caleb moore put explains the cost of the pandemic in terms of american lives has been high so now the american taxpayer is footing the bill for a vaccine that promises to end the crisis it's been dubbed operation warp speed by donald trump $10000000000.00 of taxpayer money has been pumped into big pharma corporations they are said to be hard at work trying to find a cure for cold it 19 we hope that as of time we get into the late fall and early winter we will have in fact a vaccine that we can say would be safe and effective it seems like great news on the face of it. however big pharma doesn't seem to be willing to abandon its shareholders in this time of great public need one leading u.s. corporation modernity incorporated reportedly pitched the vaccine at $50.00 to $60.00 per shot with 2 shots required some say they are not surprised and we have
4:22 am
seen in the past that the pharmaceutical companies have overcharged has higher price so why in the world would we imagine that they would make it affordable but they are not all singing the same tune drug giant johnson and johnson which has received over $600000000.00 in taxpayer money says it's committed to providing the vaccine at no profit during the emergency pandemic period but this thinking is far from universal the c.e.o. of pfizer says that he thinks it's pretty unrealistic to think that big pharma won't profit from the pandemic. i think it's very wrong you need to be very fanatic and radical to say something like that right now who's finding a solution the private sector found the solution to diagnostics and the private sector found the solution to therapeutics and is along the way to find most nations therapeutics and vaccines so how can you say something like that doesn't make sense people are working with scientists laboratory working and they should be paid for
4:23 am
their labor nothing is free someone paid for it you know the government by taxes or the pharmaceutical industry by you know putting their money and their time and talent to develop this tax scene they have to recoup it but clearly there's got to be that balance between sri which is not reasonable and very very expensive we was really prioritize things so we should take care of who's at risk the elderly the sick if you had chemotherapy or you heart disease or morbid obesity those people should get the care 1st someone like me or perhaps certainly younger they don't need it because the likelihood if you don is incredibly low i mean if you want to get it fine but the 1st people should be the ones at risk and this is like 3 hours you can't fix everybody take care of those who are sickest 1st and that's reasonable. as a vaccine is pretty essential for some to return to normality c.e.o.'s are looking
4:24 am
at their stock margins and at their bank accounts. but there's another side to this is well who foots the bill for any side effects or any damage that's done who is liable across the atlantic astra zeneca the 2nd largest drugmaker in the united kingdom also sponsored by the united states says that it has been granted exemptions from product liability claims in most countries in the contracts we have in place we are asking for indemnification for most
4:25 am
countries it is acceptable to take that risk on their shoulders because it is in their national interests the race for a covert vaccine is a life saving endeavor but when you're in business profits are key and even in a time like this big companies are not forgetting that it was martin artsy new york look at what's happening across the globe now spain's ex king one call us has left the country the former monarch announced his decision in a letter to his son to whom he transferred power 6 years ago in a development comes as clinton carlos is being investigated for alleged corruption . christians witnessed a full sturgeon moon in the capital's night sky monday during a rare phenomenon the main takes on a strong orange tint residents in the french capital got to enjoy striking views of it juxtaposed against the eiffel tower. crowd of protesters took to the

a pointer to traditionally incumbency alone is enough to win reelection but this time around it is a race trump made news and let's be clear this has little to do with joe biden how did we get. hi i'm max kaiser this is kaiser report summer solution. one 0 it's going to be exciting very exciting i'm excited i know you're excited i know stacey is excited let's check in with stacy right now max this is our favorite
4:29 am
time of the year always for the past 10 years here in kaiser when we do the summer solutions we look at solutions to all the problems that kaiser report reports on throughout the year but this year i think is the most epic of all because i believe we are on the verge of a renaissance just like in the italian renaissance we have now a basically online renaissance it's it's not any one nation it's all the people organizing online and i believe that is going to be the case we're going to cover that war a little bit and a few moments but 1st i want to say you know the the big themes that we've been covering they're really coming to a head in 2020 diggle ization dollar is ation japan afic ation of our balance sheets of central bank's money printer go back and de china for cation now is a new thing so we're going to cover those over then upcoming episodes of summer solutions did china for cation that's the 1st time i've heard that what does it
4:30 am
mean what it's a process of separating the global economy from china exiting trade deals japan as we recently reported they they're paying their own corporate companies from japan 536000000 to take their factories out of china and move them to vietnam move them to cambodia move them to other places in southeast asia so we're going to see a lot of the power all of china has come from the fact that we have outsourced much of our manufacturing capacity from america from you. europe from japan to china so now there's going to be a process of the de globalization this is a subset of that the globalization is called the china fixation remember him wasn't too long ago when people were describing the u.s. china relationship to symbiotic relationship where we sent them their job they sent us cheap goods even though it was mutually counterproductive.
