other always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender and number 2 the americans were trying to send a message to the soviet union and there was american poor planning in october 1045 who had chosen 20 targets and russia. so it's seems wrong. just don't. feel that you get to see. this day because that attitude and in detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground .
10:31 am
this is the one business show you can't afford to miss i'm proud to borean washington coming up president trump has extended the deadline for the tick tock ban in order to allow microsoft to acquire the aftermaths chinese parent company while the u.s. tech giant be able to seal the deal and how will this affect tensions between the world's 2 largest economies plus the nasdaq has popped once again on news that apple has now claimed the title of the world's most valuable publicly traded company will break down what lies in store for the tech giant impact show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with one of the biggest tech stories of the year and it appears to be playing out minute by minute microsoft confirmed
10:32 am
monday that it is in talks to buy tick tock from chinese parent company bite day it's now this of course after u.s. president donald trump announced a plan to ban the app in the united states president trump spoke about the controversial situation monday afternoon. he can't be controlled for security reasons but in china too big too. invasive and it can be and here's the deal i don't mind if there's microsoft or somebody else a big comes. secure company a very very american company by they set a date of around september 15th at which point it's going to be out of business in the united states but if somebody whether it's microsoft or somebody else buys it that will be interesting i did say that 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
10:33 am
a very substantial portion of the price is going to have to come into the treasury of the united states because we're making it possible for this deal to happen right now they don't have the rights unless we give it to them and the chinese foreign ministry for their part respond to the reports early monday calling out the u.s. for hypocrisy and double standards in the move while claiming this is a violation of key principles of the world trade organization now for more on this let's go ahead and bring in blue bus co-host ben swan and cyber security expert todd shipley who also serves as president of dark intel now ben i want to start off with you here let's kind of it it appears that microsoft has about $45.00 days to get this deal done but doesn't it seem strange for the u.s. government to ban a company and then turn around and basically force them to sell helping an american tech giant to buy. yeah i think the whole thing is pretty disgusting i mean as this is all playing out everything is wrong with this from the fact that number one as you said 45 days this company is being told you're going to be banned in the united
10:34 am
states you can sell office in chile the u.s. version canadian version australia new zealand versions of tik tok dance can and in exchange for that not only will a big company like microsoft get to take over talk but at the same time you just heard what the president said he says a substantial portion of that price should go into the u.s. treasury what because we're facilitating this do you know what i mean this is this goes against everything that if you believe in a free market capitalism there's nothing free market about it there's nothing capitalism about it it's all cronyism and the fact that evil what the president said about it go into a big company like microsoft the reality is we know that big tech companies in the united states facebook and apple and google have not been good stewards of data here in the u.s. of the collection of data they use and the misuse of data it happens all the time so the idea that the chinese are collecting data and they're bad but when facebook
10:35 am
and apple and google and now possibly microsoft are collecting that same data it's somehow ok that somehow a good thing it makes no sense to me at all you know todd actually before i get to any deep content in this i really want to ask you 1st what is your opinion of this situation we just heard ben say that this is a terrible idea but todd what do you make of this situation of the president basically forcing the sale of this and to an american tech company. well i think overall this is the geopolitical politics of. china and the ongoing problem that we've had with china already because you look back at what has happened with wall way in the other events that are going on and the fact that india's already banned you know tick tock there's a lot of other things that are happening here so it's not it is about the data and how it's going to be stored and we want the chinese government to have access to that data and compare it to the other data they've stolen from us and be able to
10:36 am
put a picture together of americans and what they do or do you want to american companies have it in granted the american companies of been know better about the data but at least the data is in the united states at some point. so ben i mean you just alluded to the fact that something about todd actually just referenced right there is that you know american tech companies haven't been great with our data and whether they provide things to law enforcement the government or just to other businesses and selling that data so this is in europe it is actually no better to have microsoft take over this company. well i it might be somewhat better but i don't know that it's better i don't think there's any evidence that it's necessarily better other than the fact that there is a belief that the chinese are misusing or collecting data and because it's a you know national government collecting this data it is harmful to us that is the
10:37 am
belief but i don't know that we have seen evidence that it is more harmful for china to have and to hold that data than it is for anybody else to do it and certainly a company like microsoft and facebook what we have seen over the last few years in terms of the abuse of tech companies to control narratives to control content could to control speech on line microsoft would jump right into that tiktaalik is an anomaly in that it is the 1st tech company in recent years to outpace and outgrow massive the he met. like facebook and youtube and instagram and so it was one of the few companies they didn't get acquired and it was out there you know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing i think it's not the question it's the fact that it's another tech giant who will now control another form of social media and just because it's american doesn't make it you know by virtue good versus bad. in recent weeks months maybe even the last year tick-tock is kind of been outperforming us
10:38 am
tech companies and social media for that matter and now suddenly the us has a problem with cyber security with the company which is understandable no doubt about it but you know i understand a ban of the company if that's where you want to go geo politically you could make that argument but now you're going to sell it to one of the biggest companies here in the u.s. . who has a troops could serve as it has in the past yeah i mean are the other nations todd going to see this as us essentially the u.s. saying we're going to steal your company if they're successful and we don't really like their business practices. well i mean that's certainly you know position to take but i think if we look back at the ongoing issues that we have with china that is just another one of those things that has been a release of data about americans and that's essentially what the government's position is that they don't want the chinese government to control the data now right or
10:39 am
wrong with do you believe that's true or not that's the position that the trumpet ministration is taking and so we've had ongoing issues like i said if we look at what we and the other things that have happened this is not something the just crept up keep in mind that you know to talk got a u.s. c.e.o. so that they could look better they've got a lobbying company in washington to lobby for themselves so they've been playing the game for some time knowing that this was coming because of the ongoing issues with china so. is it an issue with the security who knows for sure probably but the u.s. government now at this point is taking on the position that they're going to control tick-tock and get it to a u.s. company and that was just a solution because keep in mind the trump administration wanted to ban it they were going to do this until. microsoft stepped up in agreed to buy it because facebook has already tried to buy it one time before. bed i want to give you the final word
10:40 am
on this i mean i guess just looking at it from an outsider perspective it appears that if you ban it you bet it that's fine but brokering a deal just looks like you're propping up american companies what's your response although i think i think it does look like that i think it just globally it looks really bad i think even within the united states it can look bad to say listen this company is that is bad because of the collection of data that was being passed to government but if we broker a deal why wouldn't microsoft and pass that same data to the u.s. government i mean again it comes down to a question of is a government evil because it's chinese or is government in general a negative in terms of the way it tries to dominate and control people and if you believe that then you believe that any government that's harvesting data and collecting data any tech company that's handing off dated to governments is a problem and lastly i'd say that microsoft has basically been out of the game so
10:41 am
the fact that microsoft stepped up and said oh we'll take this on of course they will right this is arguably right the most successful tech company right now in terms of growth in the entire world and so microsoft wants to jump in and just and just grab it i think there needs to be new rules on data collection not just who is collecting it who must co-host ben so on and cyber security expert todd shipley thank you both for your insight lot to cover here so we'll have you back. and all eyes are still on the race for a cope with 1000 vaccine you. drugmaker lilly said monday it is beginning a late stage trial of an experimental antibody treatment now the phase 3 trial will test their l y c o b 555 drug created in partnership with canadian biotech firm. on up to 2400 participants who live or work in the u.s. nursing homes which have recently diagnosed a case of the virus now meanwhile the russian health ministry announced over the weekend that clinical trials of a vaccine candidate from the moscow based get malaria institute have included with
10:42 am
positive results adding that while any vaccine would of course face regulatory approval the country is ready for mass vaccination as soon as october and with all this vaccine related news the director general of the world health organization warned against overconfidence in reports of late stage vaccine tests number of latinos out of now in phase 3 clinical trials and we only hope to have a number of effective vaccine the start could help prevent people from infection however there is no silver bullet the moment and then might never be for now stopping outbreaks comes down to the basics of and this is going through. testing isolating and treating patients and tracy and quiet until their contacts. and with this in mind let's go ahead and take a look at the spread of the virus with our correspondents. so where are we worldwide
10:43 am
so grand more than 18000000 people around the world have been diagnosed with the coroner as of monday but almost 11000000 of those 80000000 have fully recovered meaning that about 65 percent of those 18000000 have fully recovered while nearly 695000 people have died now the u.s. has recorded by far the highest number of cases worldwide right now more than 4800000 cases 50 percent of which have fully recovered and the u.s. that's right now stands at around 158000 so a little over 3 percent have died from the virus here in the u.s. while a new forecast from the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention estimates that the death toll in the u.s. is projected to reach at least 173005 august 22nd so that's less than
10:44 am
20 days from now that's going to claim another $15000.00 lives and brand so far july has been the worst month in the u.s. with nearly $1800000.00 cases in this month alone and about 4040 percent of the cases in the u.s. occurred in july when restrictions were lifted in most states and we thought we saw the worst of it in april when we had over 858000 cases but then again in july we saw such a big jump may and june both were in any better but going into august we're looking for a better numbers but the good news is that deaths have been significantly lower in july compared to other mon so that's a really big plus so going into august on sunday the u.s. reporter around $47000.00 cases. now that's that's an increase in almost 4 weeks that's a small it's actually i should say increase in almost 4 weeks and as of 4 pm monday
10:45 am
another 8500 cases have been reported so again that's a positive news right now but i also want to take a look at 5 most affected countries right now and whether those countries are anywhere close to flattening the curve so the u.s. like i mentioned of course they're seeing a small decrease in numbers but still nowhere near the curve now india is once again trending up that's the orange right here india is seeing more and more increases in fact just in the last 24 hours the saw 52000 cases so that's not good at all brazil is doing slightly better as you see there the one the red there going up and then up and down they're seeing slightly less you see right here going down but still they have a long way to go just in the last 24 hours they saw about $24000.00 cases now south africa right here in purple now they appear to be doing a little bit better but not not by much on average they're seeing about $8100.00
10:46 am
cases per day now russia the country right here appears to be flattening a little bed and they're the country with the 4th most cases in the world but they're still averaging about $5500.00 cases per day so right here top 5 affected countries that appear not to be anywhere near flattening the curve then there are countries that are seeing a 2nd wave right now like japan where cases ruled by more than 50 percent in july while us trail is also battling a new wave of infections hong kong israel and spain are also fighting a 2nd wave while iran one person is dying from quote 1000 it every 7 minutes. r t correspondent side thank you for keeping us up to date. and time now for a quick break here because when we return big tech continues its winning streak as the throat of the world's most about publicly traded company straight ahead we'll
10:47 am
take a look at how markets are reacting as we go to break here the numbers afloat. thinking
10:48 am
of getting a new gun the ones we got in our ships no problem why is he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired how much we don't need a crate with him he will stir freaking out and she won't let us bring him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs are caged in the into lane conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the thunder nothing they have no protection. to take care of you. know it's ok. across the u.s.
10:49 am
cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a group businesses are involved like agoa mom center there has been a shocking amount of the organizing opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog. you can't be both with the yeah you want.
10:50 am
and welcome back tech heavyweight apple became the world's most valuable publicly traded company on friday and sitting state oil giant saudi aramco. shares in apple gained more than 10 percent on friday alone after a strong earnings report the day prior and continued its run on monday adding as much as 5 percent points throughout the day close friday the company's market valuation top $1.00 trillion dollars while saudi aramco now sits at just over $1.00 trillion now apple stock struggled at the onset of the crowbars pandemic but is now up more than 44 percent this year old lowered meanwhile the company also announced a $4.00 to $1.00 stock split so for more on what is more on this and what else is moving markets let's go ahead and bring in blue bus co-host christiane and c.e.o. of transformative research tobin smith thank you both for joining us today know
10:51 am
christie why did apple know the stock split well on thursday after earnings which reported strong sales and. beating analysts expectations so this stock split would quote help to appeal to a broader group of investors that is make it more attractive to retail investors who have a really hard time struggling and swallowing a triple digit price tag of 400 so the last time they did this was back in 2014 when they did a 7 to one stock split when any of the 700 price mark so stocks but really doesn't do anything for its valuation the price this quarter the dividends are quarters so it's exactly the same thing but because medically it looks very different because the price tag is lower so to an average retail trader it doesn't seem like that big of a commitment to buy something at a share of $100.00 versus $400.00 so it makes the stock a lot more liquid and tradable so right now there is one actual effect of the stock but one benefit is that it relates to the membership of the dow the dow is
10:52 am
a price weighted average versus versus a percentage based index so that means the moves are based on the dollar move at the price so previously apple had the most effect on the dow every single time it moved because it was the largest member of the dow but now ever since it dropped from $400.00 price tag to one $100.00 prize. now it is no longer the largest weight in member of the dow and it's replaced by united health interesting now tobin it is this valuation of 1.84 trillion really justified i mean apple's neither a growth stock nor a value stock and innovation is slowing down as the wearables category is really not taking off as they had initially planned and what do you see and hear. well our philosophy on investing changed significantly you know maybe a decade ago decade and a half that apple is building a digital platform and when every time they add a new customer it costs them nothing to do it number one number 2 is when you sign
10:53 am
up for a phone today whether in the united states or europe or trying to the telephone company essentially finances you nobody's paying 1500 bucks for that new phone that i just got that i can't live without from apple you're paying 45 bucks a month so the nature of the business has changed that it's profitability its business model has changed and as a services continues to grow faster than any other service business remember if you took the service business alone and please you know tech companies are saying please will you break this up because every time you break up a tech company the value goes up if you value the service business just on a normal. dollar a normal revenue time so you mean the multiple of sales it gives me it would be worth $2.00 trillion dollars today but that's the reality so the market is is paying for this business that never goes away you don't know what you're in the apple ecosystem you're in the apple ecosystem you know kristie i want to hit on the
10:54 am
u.s. dollar here following its worst performance in decades the dollar is now staging a comeback in august shorts are getting crushed as the dollar surged on the back of a euro slump and accelerating weakness in the yen what's going on here at this repositioning while last month he had this surge in the dollar shorts and that's why you saw gold as well as they claimed surging and the dollar weaken as bets were taken against the u.s. economy and how poorly it was handling the coronavirus pandemic so strategist also warned against the dangers of this unlimited money printing business by the central bank and the unsustainability of its current trajectory however in this latest survey right now asset managers are now at lall the euro and they yet. and while selling off the u.s. dollars and the survey record of the highest exposure in years while the us dollar sold off heavily against it however this today on the 1st day of august trading the traders are starting to turn their attentions towards a surging amount of covert cases now in europe and japan so it seems like there are experiencing a resurgence
10:55 am
a 2nd wave that was not expected and due to that the euro lost about 200 pips the 2 in the 2 1st 2 days as traders were struggling to find another alternative safe haven currency so right now at this point what's most surprising of all is that goal today is still up for that matter as well that both of them are rallying and gold is still holding strong and green despite the strength of the dollar when normally they would trade inversely so this shows that despite the fact that the greenback is gaining strength a little bit reversing last month's trajectory the trust is still not what it was before as other safety assets are now being considered and instead. i want to talk a little bit about the economy here lord and taylor is now the latest retail casually filing for bankruptcy now meanwhile additional stimulus talks have been stalled here leaving a lapse in unemployment assistance what do you see when it comes to holding up this stimulus package and how bad it is going to hurt those who actually need it immediately. sure well 1st of the you know little misinformation out there if you
10:56 am
filed your claim on sunday you know you do it digitally electronically then those people are going to get paid the $600.00 on monday or tuesday depending on the state they're going to have cash this week but then we get to friday and the jobs report is going to be it's maybe i'd be i guess i'd say this is you'll be you know bad news is good news then with the numbers we see is that that we're going to see a spike up in employment we're going to see a spike down in employment which means that congress better get off. because what's going to happen is is that you start to get the sort of tumbling down effect the consumer spends about $1.00 trillion dollars a month in in a excuse me an inmate in june and somebody in july if july of spending is flat or down then we got a real problem because in august if we don't have this funding we're going to be down 8090000000000 in spending that's 89 percent drop and all of a sudden we're going to drop and that's why the dollar sold off is people were looking at you know assuming that they were going to be
10:57 am
a bad numbers are deal is right now that we're going to have slow growth but we're going to have enough job creation if we can pay the bills if the one primary worker at home remember the united states 40 percent of people who work are working poor and they're only paying $8.00 to $10.00 jobs now you tack on being thrown out of your home for not payment for rent for foreclosure for a vision that snowball bread becomes a nightmare and it becomes a real nightmare for the person who's in charge of the country as in our present a united states and it's last time i remember he doesn't like bad news so i got a real strong sense that they're going to have a little come to jesus meeting here and guess what they want to what it all is republicans or democrats want $6450.00 baby split the difference one of the most incredibly difficult negotiations of all time hey let's split the difference. christiane tobin smith of transformative research thank you both for. joining us today. and that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on demand on the brand

. 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 rush up. 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.
11:00 am
welcome to our viewers from around the world live from central london this is all to u.k. . schools that's what next month experts warn the government has just one month to ramp up its test and trade scheme if england is to avoid a 2nd wave of the virus but that is the u.k. is still yet to launch its much maligned tracing apple be joined by a technology expert. paul says defy government plans to get stuff back to the office as it's revealed homeworking could cost the capital 178000000 pounds a month but that's one businessman sachs those refusing to return. of paul shanley the system is not just quote mob work well you know what that is.
11:01 am
the british government urges pharmaceutical companies to stockpile medicine in case trade talks with the e.u. and without wants a deal. and to see government increases prison sentences for terror offenders report claims that more jail time fuels even more all extremism but does it we hear from both sides of the debate. experts have warned the briton faces a 2nd wave of covert 19 if the government doesn't ramp up its test and trace scheme within the next 4 weeks it comes amid number ten's commitment to fully open schools in england by next month and he joins me now with the latest so we see how bad do things look for test and trace. well absolutely we've been seeing a number of calls for the testing tray system to be improved over the next few
11:02 am
weeks in particular before schools attempt to reopen next month we've seen the chief medical officer for the government's chief medical officer chris with the warning that in order for schools to reopen other things may have to clothes clothes things like. that maybe some type of trade off the prime minister saying that schools represent a top priority for the government we've been hearing and seeing the research is that the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine looking at a wide range of scenarios in light of the planned reopening of schools and they found that the reopening of schools in the town of pupils will increase the risk of a 2nd wave if changes are made to the n.h.s. testing tray system which has been criticised for not contacting enough people or people fully through the cracks and generally having a number of issues with at the test and traced scheme is split into so-called complex and non-complex cases the complex cases referred to outbreaks stop missions
11:03 am
like schools will factories you can see factories being blamed for a potential 2nd breakout in places like nest not on compact complex cases are considered to be the standard cases where people have been in contact with a coded 900 positive person but we have a look at hap some of the problems with contacting people we've been in touch through positive cases when it comes to testing traces the current 55 percent of all non-complex contacts have been successfully contacted and traced by the n.h.s. but the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine have also models an area where 60 percent of contacts are identified off schools have been reopened that would be a significant improvement but still a long way off. 100 percent of the people who need to be contacted at doing so now
11:04 am
the government how are worried about the 2nd wave potentially breaking out in the winter time around september october they have previously promised a world class system we've been hearing from our sons in the past and it is just saying a world beating system in terms of testing trace will be in place they still haven't released their contact tracing app there were tests being carried out in only iowa that white run is a number of issues related to date security but also people not download the app enough however there are other places where people have been using the app we can see an island they are not being used modeled on the apple google model used around the world in ireland it was launched on the 6th of july it was downloaded 1300000 times in just 8 days the same company making that out have also successfully launched one in gibraltar we've also seen the launch of an apt at the end of last
11:05 am
week in northern ireland so it is that still lagging behind when it comes to the rollout of a doubt that would help the government with that test in trace system but perhaps the main challenge for the government is getting people to overcome their suspicions when it comes to things like surveillance tracking and data security. thank you for all of that well for more on test track and trace and the absence of the promised app i'm now joined by technology expert amanda brock and out here amanda. but after all why has it been so hard to get the system up and running. well i think what we've seen is a rapid deployment of technology and that's never something that straightforward or easy but as time has passed what we're nice seeing is levels of collaboration which are beginning to improve about process and i think they're going to make the difference to getting a working in place and talking about collaboration why have there been collaboration the likes of all and i mean they've already got the app and what are
11:06 am
they done differently on the digital and yet now you say the app of the island has got an a an interesting the the irish health executives have worked with a company called near form to create that out a new form is pretty well known in the open source community and they have great expertise in that area so the app that they've created actually i'm told by one of the developers and i had 1500000 downloads and if you look at a population the size of our lands which is just dumb to 5000000 i think that's 30 percent up taken a couple of weeks now what we've seen consistently is that we've been told that the apps we use have 6065 percent uptake in order to be successful in reading to compute track and trace and i think there's a strong likelihood that going to happen in ireland the near form team have not only created out for armand they've gone a step further and they've donated a cocos a green and it's been donated to the linux find a sion at the limits fund
11:07 am
a sion is a longstanding organization with a great deal of history and open source that one of the biggest organizations managing collaboration in the world and what they are now i doing is bringing parties globally together with companies like tencent major yam were who were working with the n.h.s. axeman london company small of the world local public health authorities well of the world collaborate so we really are seeing that and in fact it's not just scotland that is reusing that out but more than on and to a much to do for the irish help to fix some of the cross border issues that they were concerned the. press got wind. means on and more on scotland are all going to happen are probably should work with an elaboration cross border and you mentioned uptake and one study does suggest that more should be done on focusing the public to trust the app is that fair is this an issue. i think trust is
11:08 am
absolutely essential and one of the things that is regularly talked about is the n.h.s. round and how much trust the raise in that round are i don't think there are failing will necessarily have destroyed but certainly it's something we're going to need to see real need a ship on in the can ok trust is one thing what about convincing the public to really abide by the system to really use it to make it effective. that's a very difficult one some countries have gone down the river of actually making out monday tree and obviously that's not going to happen here we've moved from the centralized to the decentralized model to meet civil rights requirements to make sure that your compliant i think men will need to be a big campaign entranced and people are going to have. to make them. and they are technology expert but but the question is this app will be effective and they can as we see in other apps are effective but just how vital are they are in tackling the virus because the government seems to be playing down its importance at the
11:09 am

economy going again the longer than. the worse the economy the bigger the unemployed course of people can successfully uneasily work from home that's fair enough isn't it obviously plumbers that's slightly different but those work from home why not that's an advantage. so it suits a company and it's to see if you want to choice it doesn't suit us i don't think it's the whites who run the feces you know we need we have called site we've all at people to see them out of the everything to get up we want very much for personal service and. it's not good for at least these i'm not completely so welcome fall from home is the overall answer for many albums which 1st of all these selfies the fact that you know they're not open up the p.c.c. is why you know tell me it's a lot of them you know and use you know all the facilities and you know typically novel quickly and so well everybody saw it so well from the old 4 in the hunt for him and it's got to be huge so we're going to be because it is and you look so far

on that the call me. still to come out of this research is fine extremists could be using a long jail times as a chance to radicalize a broad reach a taste for the government thinks a lengthy sentences of the onset we have something that's the debate. summer. episode. was. going to be exciting very exciting i'm excited i know you're excited i know station's excited. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being let. go of. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a major in the shallowness of. the british government spend a letter to pharma companies encouraging them to stockpile drugs in the event of

a no trade deal being agreed between the u.k. and the e.u. it comes off to medical supplies will the government it may not be possible due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic said that initial stocks had already depleted and was concerned about replenishing supplies by the end of the in the chief commercial officer at the public health and social care steve all feel insist that companies need to be prepared for all eventualities. holding additional stock in the u.k. provides a further buffer against some disruption and we believe where it's possible is a valuable part of a robust contingency plan to build upon past work and ensure a coordinated approach we will be asking supplies to confirm that contingency plans for the end of the transition period and in particular the balance between stock holding in the next round of trade talks the shadow for the middle of

11:18 am
need to be done whether the deal is struck or not because what we know at this stage is that the u.k. has left the european union it will leave the single market of the european union at the end because the government to say that will be no further extension to the transitional period to put this in perspective we trade around $25000000000.00 pounds with phones who called in each direction we export that much we import that much and most of the imports do come around $18000000000.00 pounds with imports of pharmaceuticals to come from the european union so that's a lot of stuff coming in that's going to be subject to checks that are not there now because we are part of the single market but those checks when they really need to are saying crucial that is running out potentially lives being lost as a result of that. what we've already seen bill is that the stockpiles that we
11:19 am
already had in place around 6 weeks worth of stockpiles in some cases have been eroded and so have run out as a consequence of what's been happening with coded so there's been disruptions to supply chains already inevitably as a result of the pandemic you've got some production is not being taken place it's been switched into other activities within the pharmaceuticals companies. are not producing and so on so there's been disruption already that's led to the erosion of the stockpiles that were already in place so what the government's saying now is that companies need to make sure that this stockpiling where they can't stockpile. as british m.p.'s seek to toughen prison sentences for terrorist offenders reporters warning that those incarcerated see more jail time as an opportunity to further radicalize themselves and others international center for the study of radicalization highlighted that in the last year alone there have been 4 terror
11:20 am
attacks committed by serving all release prisoners in england the research is one that jihad is are increasingly treating prisons as this of conflict and confrontation rather than rehabilitation they suggest that extremists could also be using jails to understand how authorities work it cites the fishmongers whole attack it was one car on who went on the rehabilitation program learning together as an example of false compliance giving authorities the misleading impression he had reformed there is an emerging view among extremists that prison is an opportunity not necessarily just to recruit or network but to also work on themselves in prison recruiters learn psychology to become better recruiters for example while in prison by ideologues learn islamic jihad is history to become better ideologues they see prison as a test of their commitment to the cause and a place to recover from isis's battlefield losses and the wider up evil in the jihadist see currently there are 238 terrorism related prisoners in england and
11:21 am
wales with 138 inmates categorized as islamist extremists and 44 as far right report places the average prison sentence for those convicted after 2012 and around 7 and a half years however this sentence could see it increased up to 14 years almost double after m.p.'s recently voted to back the government's new terror laws the ministry of justice responded to the researches claims the prisons are an opportunity as unfounded. we have put in place world leading measures to stop extremists from spreading their poisonous ideology behind bars on new legislation means they now face tougher sentences and monitoring on release including polygraph testing to scrutinize behavior. well to debate this i'm not joined by terrorism expert and former police officer of the u.k. special branch for counter-terrorism dr david low and investigative journalist jane beech i thank you both for joining us j f our prisons are
11:22 am
a breeding ground for radicalization then longer sentences will actually mean more attacks well i don't necessarily agree i think there are many factors that contribute to radicalization and if we reduce the sentence in time if there's no to terror and we have to have it terror in place but that being said prisons do serve as a perfect breeding ground for many reasons it it actually fits the narrative of your typical jadis or or a freedom fighter whether they'd like to call them selves it's an environment that's oppressive they have never had their freedom taken away from them and obviously they have a hierarchy control and so it's very easy to become radicalized in prison so that i don't believe that the focus should be on the prison sentence alone that's one aspect of it you cannot reduce the prison sentence i don't think it's strong enough as is we have to be focusing on the radicalization and we have to be focusing on preventing you know radicals from spreading their ideologies in prison for instance
11:23 am
we had jordan one of the british born islamists who actually boasted that he had used the prison system to spread his ideology and recruit many people who had never thought about jordan is cause so there are many aspects behind it but like you said we join horner they moved him from prisons prison and you can shift the person as much as you want but if you don't shift the mind then the problem just remains in the eye and geology still remains so not enough is being done in a suit the radicalized david is it though possible to stop radicalization in prisons if we just have an authority is earlier saying that doing the utmost they think they can stop it just how much are prisons then a breeding ground for this kind of thing and can it be stopped behind bars. it's it's an issue that's been there for many years i think bill you know we really go back to the irish troubles even now in polish magali president mean when you gave the figures during the wales on top of nile you have dissident republicans trying
11:24 am
to recruit loyalists trying to recruit new dimension isn't just the islamists who are trying to do this you have the extreme far right is the same and it's been there for many years. i mean i know from my own experiences and sense of retired now i'm a senior research fellow at least back at university and from my own research it is a problem that prevents strategy that's applied in prisons needs to be dealt with but you have another issue i think bill to think about i think we've got to take each case on their own merits. just lengthening prison sentences is not the answer if someone has committed a serious offense let's get a murder that is terrorist related other deeply imbued they're going to be a threat but they'll be those on the periphery those who commit murder offenses i think we should take it. as a different attack and maybe our sort of agreeing a little bit with jerry there that part of that is what we do with them in prison prisons never rehabilitated if you want to be
11:25 am
a better burglar of their voice and go go to prison and you'll learn you know learn your trade better what i think it is looking at what we do with these individuals when they when they arrive in prison ok but what do you make of that you know i agree with david on that aspect there is but i want to see you know i have to say that i feel like our justice system and the public in general are losing faith in the justice system and we see in our sentences being too weak and not providing any counsel or justice victims. yet terrorism and serious crimes but. not enough money and and funding and resources is being pumped into that core strategy which should be to change those minds so i do think that you need a lot of long sentence because it cannot be deprogrammed as it were only night so it has to be pumped into land and heavy folks on up at princeton see you know we mentioned as a candidate who mentions he attended to such programs that prevent the radicalization
11:26 am
programs they clearly don't work. and a lot more money see placed into that but also i feel that prison these be isolated you see when they're around people with the same ideology especially when we have overcrowding agrees and then that it is it fair to say just that one example means that it doesn't work or together that really aren't taught and have been mocked. you know it it does to some people it can work it can work if they're not as far gone if they're not as into that not met you know got carried out such serious crimes but the bulk of. this not just as as david rice it's not just yeah this as and the data has very quickly james got a point here that when times the and the public will agree with this about longer sentences surely we've got to make it clear that extremist acts carry very tough sentences and shorty that is the answer that's what the public want to see people doing much longer sentences the shorter ones because of course those who are let
11:27 am
out with those shorter sentences are committing these terrible crimes. well i think everybody would like everybody. certainly tarasoff and certainly those who commit serious crime to go to prison but we've got to we've had an overcrowding issue now for many many years the presence of murder well how to build more prisons we've got certainly for different categories we have private companies who are carrying out this public function but we're looking at category a prisoners here with with with terrorists with many terrorists those who are. very very serious criminals and to have them in isolation could be a problem you're going to have to build more prisons are you going to have to extend the likes of belmarsh the house those facilities so we have to look at not so much those who are deeply entrenched with an interview with their ideology we're looking at those who are getting caught up in the extremism or those who go to prison maybe for another offense and then get radicalized in prison this is the
11:28 am
process it's got to be there and we have to look at some of these minor offenses or searches downloading information the on your internet it's quite a concern this i mean you know me bill normally i'm very very supportive of of government initiatives in keeping us safe but i do have a concern where you've got mine or what i would what i would term in terrorism cases and so minor offenses and you put in prison for a long time like let's hit finally from jay as we are getting out of town jay funnell coming from well you know i agree on that there's a big responsibility that should be placed on social media platforms then they're not doing enough to stand radicalization and hate but at the same time you know we do have a massive overpopulate overcrowding problem but we don't print we free separations senses. just as they have a nickname and only one of them is actually open and in full so the government needs to step up because with the problems in 2025 we're going to have a hell of
11:29 am
a lot of terrorists that come to us. we need to get you know all they going to be to radicalize all the guys so i don't think so we need to get in there quick. and actually do something active not increase funding mainly talk to the radicalized. i said ok thank you both very much for that interesting discussion dr david low and jay beecher and that's it morning.
11:30 am
thinking of getting abused by the ones we got. along with. in the. field near the crate with him he was. freaking out he wanted to bring him anywhere near. breeding dogs or caged in inhumane conditions on poppy i mean 67 years they've been locked up in cages outside you see no particular.
