if these protests in portland were not contained. is it your view then that chief and other violent people engaged in these acts would simply stop would simply accept that as their sole victory or is it your expert opinion having dealt with a number of law enforcement and criminal cases and your legal career that that they wouldn't stop that they would go to the next town to the next community and potentially inspire more violence there's no doubt in my mind that it would spread . and it would spread to one town up to another and another community oh my goodness there 'd is coming for us all except like always truth gets in the way truth in the form of actual statistics you see it appears that the threat of extreme leftist groups and individuals including and statistically pales in comparison to the violence committed by right wing extremists here in the united states of america according to recent findings by these center and international studies that were reviewed by the guardian of the nearly $900.00 political we

motivated attacks and plots in the united states since 1994 only one play tallahassee has occurred from an attack by anti fascists and that they tally was the perpetrator himself he died in the attack while trying to carry it out meanwhile during that same stretch of time american white supremacists and other right wing extremist groups have carried out attacks that left at least $329.00 victims dead. so my friends who is the real threat to peace on our streets here in the u.s. of a let's find out as we start watching the hawks. what's going on a city street. like. this you always state see a. great city desolate systemic deceptions late show which. so that you feel. welcome everyone

watching the hawks as you know i'm tired relevant to earth and i was so amazed my goodness we need to watch out for and t. feel we need to watch out for these leftists extremists except they don't actually or haven't actually hurt anybody's realistically 994 absolutely we known this for a while the president was trying to ratchet up here and he created this outside group that was coming to destroy america as we know it and according to the research like you just showed it was all a lie yeah that's what the hoax it was i mean look when and 1st kind of came about i mean chris hedges actually had a wonderful conversation just kind of saying hey showing up to protest where an all black and a ski mask is not good looking optics no matter how just your cause maybe you'd still be the average person sit at home you look threatening. but none of the violence that we've seen happen in since the murder of george white and the

protests that we've seen happen over and over has been as a result of these folks here most of it is outside agitators in fact on tuesday while attorney general barr was telling those scary stories about anti gun capitol hill the minneapolis star tribune reported that the now infamous figure the one we also hold me umbrella dressed in black taken in near you know kicking in windows at autozone. in minneapolis just before the looting and all that took place minneapolis says police say umbrella man was a white supremacy. trying to incite george floyd rioting according to their according to the work the police is doing up there they've narrowed down who they think this person is. scary thing about that is apparently if it is this person that they say it is he even went to my high school he graduated from my high school back in 2006 which doesn't surprise me because there are those pockets up there there are those pockets of right wing extremists white supremacists all over the place you know absolutely and i think that the more we dig into stories like this

the more will see that these these groups that are really causing the crazy uprisings who are you know lighting buyer to things where flipping over police cars and all of that are your protesters so that people who we see donald trump and his acolytes out here basically throwing all types of shade on when he's trying to be thin that he's calling chaos what he really needs to william is white supremacy and we know that he's not trying to do that he doesn't even want to acknowledge that white supremacists exist no because the i guess to him is is i don't i mean it's one of those things right get it but again it's the words like you know he's trying to tiptoe because he wants to keep his voters he's putting he's putting the needs of whatever voting block he wants to appeal to before the actual peace and security of the country is what will come to see him absolutely and then the fear that comes along with that is that he's willing to label peaceful protesters as terrorists as anti-american as anarchists meanwhile you have this group of suburban actors who

are homegrown terrorists some white supremacist here who are causing all types of chaos and mayhem and yet aside from the report that we're doing right now to be honest i'm not even hearing about this on any bit of mainstream media and very few people are actually picking up on the story at all and that's because look far right extremists apparently a lot of this research has killed at least 38 people in just 2019 and that's according to the anti-defamation league far right extremist was possible for 76 percent of all extremist related murders according to the defamation league i mean that is really where we. we have a problem with people in this country and it's and it's shocking that we're not really looking into i mean even the f.b.i. i was more warned about there's a bill trading law enforcement where you back 10 years ago more than 10 years ago you had no one did anything absolutely none christopher ray actually you know he talked about it at one point and then we're seeing this administration still act like none of this is ever happened and it doesn't exist and that data doesn't matter it is post trauma i hope that regardless of what happens you it's not something we kind of get into this thing of like well one strum gone from school

and all this problem disappears it doesn't disappear but i just hope that you know if you remove this person from all you know if you voted out of office that somebody actually takes this seriously down the way. the wonderful world of sports gets a new challenge almost daily with kobe 1000 cases continuing to spread across the u.s. sports teams are faced with major decisions major league baseball team they mammie marlins recently announced they were temporarily polishing their season following the latest round of college 1000 tests the team's most recent test results showed a growing number of positive players bringing the total to 15 players among the 33 who travel for their opening series here's tell us more about how the a male bee is tackling and what this means for the league's players is r t america sports producer regina hamm what religion or wearing a grim reaper outfit but i think that there's all the time you do bring bad news all the time i know it's hard because i'm like i know she's not going to tell us anything positive but i still hold out for that one moment where. regina we know

that several other leagues have opted to have a bubble for players and personnel to minimize the risk of their covert 19 exposure or potential exposure but in l.b. had that option and they chose differently do you think in hindsight 20 twentieth's that's a problem for them how do you think they're absolutely we're seeing it right now as a fact of today 18 fires have now tested positive on that marlins travel squad you are venturing very close to 60 percent of your squad having the current a virus and. in a repro they have the idea they will go to arizona will put everybody in the bubble of the n.b.a. the national a soccer league m.l.s. is doing you know leagues that have actually been successful with this and baseball and we don't want to do that well just condense the schedule have it be geographically determined you know division to determine ok fine on our seeing the result of that that these marlins players who reportedly went out bar hopping in atlanta during an exhibition game are the reason this is happening and will be

commissioner rob manfred has an interesting thoughts on the scenario and we should listen to those. i don't put this in the nightmare category i mean obviously we don't want any player to get exposed. it's not a positive thing but i don't see it as a nightmare we built the protocols to allow us to continue to play that's why we have the expanded rosters that's why we have the pool of. players and we think we can keep people safe and continue to play think strong words you have those cool that this is you shouldn't be using that right. basic question but is there any way for major league baseball america's pastime but you know apple pie the whole bit to put a contingency plan in place in case the season does need to be canceled i think at this point you're hoping you know it's 60 games and $6060.00 that is not a lot of season you run the risk now that the marlins are going to play until it's

monday at the earliest so now you're running the risk of missing the give or take $45.00 days where you're not having any games you have no room to make that up and will be at this point didn't think that hey we're going to operate like that just like they didn't think the trying to blue jays can play in canada and did not seem to have a backup plan for that either so we were hoping that the league is going to find a way to be like you know what we just quarantine a whole team and remove them where 2 teams in m.l.s. they did that they had to make a positive test in room selves in the tournament i don't we can't do that because you've already set the schedule. you have already set these events in place and now i guess i just have to play patchwork and try to figure out what exactly is going to happen if you have this happen somewhere else examples of like texas where they have higher heard of us cases and regina in terms of some of the other sports you know we talk about college football in the n.f.l. could it be a telling sign since baseball was considered to be so at least be safe enough what does this mean now for the outbreak and possibly affecting some of these other sports the key word is safe enough you're looking at the scene where you're

a diamond you're pretty far spread out at but you're still in a dugout you're still in a locker room you're still in places where you can't always do you fix feet apart cause trouble is a tackle sport you are touching other people college sports you are touching other people you are seeing the n.f.l. go back to training camp this week they have very strict protocols in place but that doesn't mean you're going to keep people safe in college football is a whole nother level of well we'll just figure it out because again they don't have a commissioner who can make league wide decisions every individual conference major conference has their own commissioner to make a decision so it's really going to be happening where it's going to go in the future because whereas as you look at it you know i look at it and say look i understand i understand m.b.a. leggo we're almost done and if we can keep people above all we can finish out the season and kind of have a champion and do all the to me it's like why don't these other leagues just say you know what let's take the hit let's take the last people are going to love us when we come back anyway let's just not do this for the rest of the year and start again next year when we know it's safe it's ridiculous i'm sure you've heard of the

almighty dollar of course is a very big reason why these leagues aren't doing that and i think rob manfred is now seeing oh my goodness i maybe should have done this double yes it wasn't it's not going to be perfect you will still have that odd case but you want to worry about a travel team having almost 60 percent of its team in quarantine and i mean i don't know who wants to watch sports without an audience so you know if they believe them and they got like play audience. thank you very much regina always a pleasure having you on even though you always bring bad news. so that's what we're going to make sure that our story of good news sometime move forward all right and as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on the man through the brand new portable t.v. app which is now available on all platforms so you have no excuse me data coming up we cover a canadian court's recent declaration that the united states get this is not a safe place for asylum seekers shocking i know but the immigration attorney alan or engineer he will break that down stay tuned to watching the whole.

i don't know crap. no shots. actually felt. a strong no just. switch your thirst for action.

a more robust morals won't be one in which we do business as usual but guess what. we prepared for. a lot cheaper at reduced mobility you know the jury is a lot cheaper than having. how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i did but i came here and on

those 3 days i just filled with hope. and. say show. i made my decision to come here because 'd i felt and you i could build a new life you. know companies and. decided that this money is no good to be free. my one dream is that all my children find the same kind of happiness i do. i love my home i love cold weather i like the culture like the history i like everything about it. and i know that. russian fama.

and u.s. president donald trump never stopped ratcheting up just and that's why policies were his most hated group immigrants and it's not just disgusting rhetoric like labeling immigrants as rapist murderers and folks coming to steal your jobs in elections. no trump and his cronies have gone beyond employment torrie and racist language to violate the rule of law in their treatment of immigrants just a couple of weeks ago trump's plans to send born students back to their home countries if colleges didn't have campus sessions was walked back you'd think after such a big blunder trump would move on and you'd be wrong he's a laser focused on dismantling dhaka the obama era program that allows 700000

immigrants to live and work in the u.s. legally since 2017 trump has worked to strip dr recipients of work permits and ultimately deport them. the president came under fire for adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census and even though the supreme court blocked it trump is dead set on finding a way to end it anyway and the trumpet ministrations and gilding discriminatory policies against immigrants haven't gone unnoticed by neighboring nations in fact a canadian court this week ended a longstanding deal of allowing the country to send asylum seekers back to the u.s. out of fear that the united states would detain them and deport them a clear violation of the rules of asylum here to break down the crisis facing dhaka recipients and asylum seekers as immigration attorney eleanor welcome alex. wellen trump has tried multiple times to dismantle datta piece by piece.

so you don't usually wait for element come back gone because you know what skype and we've got to do you know we've got to do we can. it's amazing to me seeing how trump over and over again and now with doc is essentially saying whatever supreme court says i would do it anyway and no one ever really stops them absolutely it's it's compounding to me because every time he gets stopped president trump finds another way to basically the law and try again and it's something that i think keeps immigration attorneys immigration reform as well as dr recipients and those who are seeking you know seeking asylum in their toes because it seems like this administration is dead set on not following the rule of law dead set on trying to punish as many immigration and asylum seekers as they can and to dismantle all things that obama put in place but specifically doc and finally here to come break it down for us is once again alan or is back to write little title difficulties aside we're back with the author i'm glad to have you. and you are so hard to make

sure michael moore was moving bass the last few hours champus tried multiple times to dismantle daca piece by piece. what is different about this latest round of attempts and why is a conservative leaning supreme court seemingly pushing against. so i think the major issue here is that the supreme court has already decided that he had the power to end aka but he didn't do it the right way and not doing that a month ago they said that you had to go back to the original rule which meant new people could apply and people could renew their application and what you find is all monday of this week the trumpet ministration band back and said ok we'll do renewal but instead of doing them for 2 years we'll do them for one year and we won't take any new application so that is in direct conflict of the supreme court order so this is a constitutional problem that is beyond just saying the trumpet ministration is against aka the trump ministration it is against the rule of law because they went

to court and it was settled and now they're not living by the rule that it should have been felt by actually that day there was a hearing where congressperson europol basically asked the director of the ins are you allowed to go against the rules of the supreme court and the answer was no. and that's basically the result of the hate and fear and also one day in the white garden the president said i am for these dhaka folks and the people who supported the case then why are you rolling back this level of protection for them at this time. a 1000000 dollar question dr recipients are are in limbo and have been for several years now i mean they must renew their status every 2 years and have no real way of knowing when the world one in the world comes when the world they've come to know might be ripped out from underneath them what will it take for congress to pass actual conference of immigration reform and what key elements are necessary to protect the rights of immigrants asylum seekers and these doctor

recipients. well senator durbin on monday introduced a bill that says we for the dream of the doctor classification so that both houses could potentially move it move forward because as we all know almost 90 percent of americans are behind protection for these individuals who came in as minor but it basically is going to take the same thing it takes for congress to do anything to basically get off of the gavel and start moving forward and get back to law making instead of politicizing every conversation in the media you are correct or the last an administration is managed you know when it sort of address for now is to basically address the issues clear of all the other issues aside a budget issues and what have you they need to be paid. the point and alan i'm sure that you probably agree on this one president trump technically doesn't disparage all immigrants just those from certain countries african nations for instance mexico central and latin america he famously said we should have more

people from places like move away and he's tried to cloud his racism with saying that those with special skills and education would be top priority but even with that only seeks to allow in white immigrants at what point in this nation's history that the immigration debate gets so racialized is this a trump care issue or is it something that. proceeded. well this is the definitely chuck berry issue i mean isn't there a cult or even a stratification and with a 5 start out to 6 and then when $155.00 it's sort of earth japanese nationals and indian nationals but the sort of races undertones of this administration the threat of people coming in is what's really unnerving right because now everybody who believes in christianity and the right of individuals and helping individuals is against the silence which is a legal form of entering this country they're actually asking today in that same hearing conservatives are asking think in the asylum applicants actually pay for their own applications called $100.00 or even $50.00 for people who are fleeing for their life after this is something that is president of this country that you've

never seen before and specifically over this black and brown people the people you see in detention centers are black and brown people well the undocumented population of this country represents every nation right there always concerned with asylum seeker at the southern port of entry not a phylum thinkers that fly over from china or from other countries as a matter of fact i know right now as the largest number of individuals who've actually applied for asylum so you are dead on when you think about these things in addition to that they have a laser focus group with the public georgia rule that was put it a day in the supreme court so they could go into action and then just a few hours ago a new york district court put it back a day and saying that now you cannot enforce the law but georgia rule with the state department or with you and basically the public struggle with allowing this country to say if you're poor or if i think you're ever going to be or you're not allowed to come into this country so it's very something influential that sort of hurt people who are right here in our region all those caribbean countries and all those people from latin and south america apparently while living in new york all

the years of the president and many members of his cabinet member actually took the time to visit the statue of liberty and what you would have counted them had an interesting decision to protect asylum seekers by keeping them in canada instead of sending them to the u.s. as i mentioned earlier what message decisions. will not only should have signaled us to the summit here in the united states but also to the rest of the world. it's no something this administration is also done moving away from a global participant in the right from the fundamental human right that we've always discussed candidate basically said listen we understand that the united states is our partner we've had a great relationship with them but looking in our constitution based on these immigrants come to our country and the way they were treating the u.s. we can not say that the. country anymore and that's the reality so therefore they have moved a politics in the looking at the reality of an immigrant who was mistreated in the united states very simple to understand as we move away from the u.n.

and move away from humanitarian right we still have families that are separating california who should have been reunited last under court order who are still separated families of the basis of what we think is american and what everything from juggling going to as a family around them working at the white house this is a fundamental they are still separated why are we still having this conversation. yes why are we still having this conversation matt thank you so much for coming on today educating our audience i always love having you on alan thank you always. and you are having. and finally today while well none of us none of us want to see anyone flying the flags of the confederate south anymore 1st because you know it's racist and represents slavery 2nd because well it's racist and represents slavery and 3rd because honestly give it up the confederacy lost back in 865 it is now 2020 get over it but the blags away but again while no one wants to see these symbols of slavery and oppression flying anymore it is also important to make sure that they

can better one is fighting to take down from public display is. actually a confederate flag because that is what happened to poor kirsten and greg often back or owners of the nordic pineapple in st john's michigan the often bikers are owners of a civil war era mansion turned bed and breakfast in st john's and since 2018 in celebration of kirsten's norwegian heritage have flown the flag of norway proudly outside their front door alongside the stars and stripes until now after their besieged by complaints from folks who thought they were flying the confederate flag yes people actually confuse the country of norway's flag. for the southern cross flag of the confederacy wow and they had to take it all they don't have them plates to each other except they are made of the same color it's like i get the instinct hey if you see the can better take that down file a complaint and you as well you should but make sure do your homework make sure

that's what you're actually staring at them all right everybody desires over you today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved and not so i tell you all with all sincerity i love you i rolled into one and i'm going to keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody.

l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point obesity is too great trusts are volunteer. conflict on theories johnson with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. a robot must protect its own existence as a nexus that. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura maybe in the shallowness. thinking of getting a cute puppy once we got our shoes no problem was he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired we don't need a crate with him he will just. freaking out and he won't want to bring. anywhere

near and thousands of the breeding dogs are caged in in 2 main conditions on puppy phone i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. particularly you know the true kids. across the u.s. 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 good businesses are involved like agoa mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dogs on o.t.

. the lebanese capital is slowly reviving after being stunned by a deadly explosion and the port of beirut the humanitarian and medical aid coming in from all over the world. 75 years after the atomic bombing of hiroshima by the u.s. japan marks the anniversary of the tragedy with a minute of silence we asked japanese and americans what they think about the events of 1945. terms of. it being justified our no i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and i think the use of the

atomic bomb was an. there's new reason to do it. plus the video emerges of a father being violently dragged by police for refusing to leave his dying daughter's hospital bedside after being told she would be taken off life support. it's been. using a child and another case it was not just the same and it was the circumstances and the tree. good afternoon and welcome to the program this is art international coming to you live from the russian capital bring you your live news update. we start in lebanon which is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 137 people and injured 5000 more some residents are still missing local authorities say

the number of dead and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble to search for survivors as we give you an idea of the scale of this disaster here our satellite images of the area before and after the blast all surrounding buildings were leveled by the shock waves which were reportedly felt as far away as cyprus explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city for some locals the day was meant to be a big event for a very different reason here's the moment a wedding photo shoot was suddenly turned to chaos by the blasts. the lebanese government says a number of port officials have been placed under house arrest pending an investigation into all of dorothea's have allocated over $66000000.00 to deal with the aftermath of the international community is also coordinating its relief

efforts to help beirut to get back to normal life russia is among those helping sending 5 emergency planes to the lebanese capital and applying a mobile hospital there are just correspondent reports from the site. this is a field hospital in its early stages it is just being built in fact there's another group of emergency workers on the way with more infrastructure but this is where russian rescuers will be taking those injured those still in need of medical attention from after the blast. well everything that you can see around me was erected overnight it was literally an empty lot just it 2 o'clock in the morning last time i was here well fast forward 6 hours and well there's already a small tent city here. well

these are search dogs have been traveling with me or rather i was with them and they will be sniffing out those who may be still trapped and a life under the rubble. the city of be roots is devastated morally physically financially in fact of all places that i've ever been to apart from active war zones of course this one with all the rubble of destruction and vehicles just abandoned at the side of the road resembles a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie the most and the russian aid effort aims here at relieving at least some of the pain i'm done of reporting from beirut in lebanon r.t. . the sheer extent of the destruction has left the city's emergency services overwhelmed residents have taken to the streets to help with the queen of operation . a mob reports on how people and beirut are coping with

a tragedy. made to it one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed. buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. the of. the for. this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of

which are for internationally known brands today it is covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion yesterday this here area is known to be very joyful it used to be very crowded and very busy very colorful unfortunately today it looks very sad the disaster that happened to beirut it's. just to be like. a ton of people full of lives and the situation on the ground in the town do everything got destroyed this is the 2nd time in history that the route has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like the route i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and to one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have a lot of historic importance they are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil

war and following the lebanese civil war many of them was destroyed lebanon has you have bullet tainted these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to have a. station all over again. this isn't the bay we know we know beirut is the middle east which is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war it is yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of empty government on the west the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued with house to find yet another way to rise from beneath the ashes. it's been 75 years since the us dropped the atomic bomb on japan city of herat 3 days later on the 9th of august the bombing of nagasaki followed attacks led to at least 150000 civilian deaths or scores of

people continue to die years after the tragedy due to severe burns radiation sickness and other injuries. muck locally in the woods. or not out in the much the words emits assume must the more doors hook up. to guy night. i get to meet on this group or get there. you must.

carry a journo saying actions can have you can have them you care you kind of are detached and share crap every night. and about particular. pains you can smash. going to get a cut down at my desk when i get to. play on you have to. guess and she know to have a gun at you but you have to have commissioned. more of ons have been scaled back this year due to the pandemic but a small ceremony still took place in her russia japan prime minister and the mayor of the city were joined in the city's peace park by the few surviving witnesses of the horrific event that marked the blasts with a minute of silence. the

u.s. and japan are forever linked by the tragedy here's what people in new york city and hiroshima say about the events of 945. take a drastic measure at your end to find like the cia i feel like i haven't learned much about it except if you assume the us. japan has just. the naturalism or a brush up on. their member so long. was it a result. like harbor maybe pearl harbor had something to do with the us response to. yeah that's that's pretty much all i know if.

we're. fixing our own terms of. it being justified i don't know i think it's tough to blame people for the mistakes of history and see why something like that catastrophic should go like not an apology were like but i'm preaching pay off for retribution but obviously to some solidarity something to recognize that loss of life and to make reparations one way or another i'm look for reparations i'm native american the figure more give any there's not going to happen it's not going to happen but it gets nice. but that's true when my mother was 7 months pregnant with me the atomic bomb was dropped my cousin was also an atomic bomb survivor and died of leukemia after 75 years i'm still very sorry for those who died. and i think the use of the atomic bomb was unacceptable there was no reason to do it and the military situation was utterly

hopeless for japan perhaps it wouldn't have taken much longer for the water end and it would have been over without the bombings the war between japan and the us it's a shame the u.s. hasn't apologized to japan for the bombings. you know. it's very important to see it out loud to emphasize what the real purpose of the hiroshima bomb was if we keep silent the propaganda war when. japan has had a strong relationship with the us including with the trump administration although there have been a few stumbling blocks loose coronavirus spike in okinawa where the us has military bases has angered japanese officials have also been reports that trump went to japan to pay more for hosting the troops u.s. steel tariffs and the white house's withdrawal from the trans pacific partnership haven't helped the situation either researcher and specialist him bill says the partnership is far from equal. there are underlying problems trump all the city has exacerbated the relationship it's japan i demanded more money for american troops

forcing says. he needs united states for history militarization and so forth and it's locked in this alliance and it's very difficult for it's to to break out on the other hand there are reasons for developing more autonomy and we will see that as. declines in fact as a sort of a sas alliance it's not a leinster to sort of equal independent states falls in not just a ship is a major facile to be used against its enemies and its main enemies today certainly in east asia is china is he was out the united states japan would have no huge problems with china the alliance is still there and it's probably not going to go away so it's strange but still in place the atomic bomb didn't just

welcome to alexander unsure from the heart of theater line to london's west end where the box offices are closed and the shoes are most certainly not going on all the rest of the u.k. feature industry and a crippling $5000.00 job losses 2000 of which were in the last month alone last week and had been hoped that some into our performances would be restarted in london but that is now on food instead there i do a protest at the national theatre on the south bank center both of whom have a $9400.00 job cuts but this week it's not the west end of london but all over edge about what should be the art center of the planet however all of the 5 august edinburgh festival for being counseled casualties of the coronavirus the edinburgh art festival the festival fringe international book festival the edinburgh international festival and the role as your visibility to 2 together comprise over

$5000.00 events across scotland each summer welcoming audiences of $4400000.00 and over $25000.00 artists writers and performers from 70 countries making them together the biggest annual cultural event in the world elaine c. smith tells us what top artists do when there are no stages left on which to place believe me it's been said that i never thought she was to actually exercising is the one thing you know all 'd right and veteran producer and writer got it for dale tells alex about his starts on the streets of. being dark and bare instead of crowded i'm bubbling. now the moment you know just to clear my head and it was. completely luck but 1st let's look at the reviews of plastic show on irish politics which featured members of the green party and the veteran journalist him and molly with your tweets messages and emails respect says where i live in scotland i can go

r.t.e. on my radio i know we've got more about irish politics i see that maybe limit donnel so shop and powerful in order my understanding is our party has the biggest block vote on appeal walked i took government very interesting time messy says shin fein a played a blinder putting baby lou and michelle at the top their support is only going to keep rising i'm really excited to see what these 2 women are going to accomplish boarding says keep up the great programs alex salmond thank goodness you have no axe to grind and can intelligently interview people to get their views instead of shouting and jane says we said that in the 1970 s. separate in confidence come together slowly this was opposed by the government of northern ireland she says unionists in northern ireland think we in some ways what them to transform into either nothing could be farther from the thousands of british living and working here in the sights with no problems and they too could have been british and a united ireland if they wish we can live together finally shot and says ireland

should unite against brics it. elaine c. smith has docile stage and screen in scotland i'm beyond for a day but what artist do during a long time when there are no status left to compare alex's in conversation with the wonderful elaine sees that. well with the festival in lot bone the theatrical lights are out all over edinburgh but when the bombing a few stars shine brighter than my guest of elian see smoke welcome to the mic simon show thank you very much for the writing rick so what about missing that i mean there's maybe many issues the global pandemic but the edinburgh festival shut down as a huge blow to the arts in scotland the road to world oh yeah i think can if i think the shot will just be sort of happening now the sarcasm card from the gilded balloon the other day who has you know hundreds the show is on during the

festival and the french have just a horse take a high normal sort of party where she would normally be out in people from all over the world but just bring in the crew and people in there and you see how many people would do what they're how many people have lost their jobs and i mean it is quite catch stop that much as the people of aden graphic will be quite relieved that they've got the $64.00 or 5 x. said 3 or 4 weeks ago i don't there was an under the neighbor that was becoming a bit does the fight if you like and they were losing their form for a period of time but i think years will make people appreciate it a lot more so you know the good for her fan boy will be those who are experiencing missing what the often sometimes a loose complain the both or more to buy completely out but i was a previous life i was a school a school teacher at a high school in it and i and there was more. you know shouted by vietnam's what i

couldn't get anywhere with couldn't get any and that but also i thought in a big comprehensive i don't want. to be able to cheat always kept so you know or 13 or 14 just see sures from. america are counted or russia. just expose them to that sort of an atmosphere one of the problems always was we've been mortared it was that the festival almost seemed it was for the middle classes and that one of the things that always struck me very much about it was that the festival was on when the kids went back to school in scotland but not if you went to private school the if you left of private school and. your holidays are right to september because the bit the same as the weather and i saw but but been able to teach kids and let them see stuff and let the experience that i and then myself to

be part of that so many years was great is pretty and what would you have the membership a job or a show on the ship and yes me by planning on there's a wonderful day a glass of cold on and more which is the biggest producer of mutating and there's any area where it's by the biggest producer of new data in the u.k. in the run by the one for dave mclean and sadly no longer with a are started by him and saw that is attractive to actors all the time and great writers and the great rates of denise maina and myself and joy mcavoy and p.j. corrigan jetta 300 they're called i do thompson and it was a monster about a grandmother and i miss the player not her grandkids but very funny. political as well and we were going to do that at the french this year but sad to

not get it back as part of other d. it's a great piece a lot of stuff a lot and more a right to golic for big voice although i would die i was sick and don't the guy merely know i'm very quiet retiring as you knew i like to have. a mother like behind a blue shield. but the question in what you've been doing doing the lot i mean what is it like for do in the performances there's no place to go to the required power from the fight so many people be but look at economic hardship but just the lack of fighting to put up with the few good rating of you've been planning for the the future of what is a an act of do good in lockdown initially of course i was just resting. and enjoying the rest that i wanted to have for 15 years more i l. this horror show was going on outside so it was you were almost like an a little bubble and you couldn't even get in touch with each other but i realize

a few weeks and i got i got really really low runnable when the yuki hit $40000.00 dead and black players martyred and all the awfulness of that are an offender said to stand and at one point we went about the whole situation and it just just came out and that was the breaking of the. of of our actually then think what do i think you see a lot of us but i also realize that my job is to make people feel better i gladly give a lot afghan a little phillip. and not be able to do you know what was haven't quite an employee at the mental health of their kin order that not being able to to communicate and reach in connect with people which is a regardless of what player do him or what television is sure to. and not knowing also whether you are ever going to be able to do it again and was was really really

. difficult and i think knowing that i can sense of that and speaking to other doubters the performers that i have and i don't think anybody has read you know the novel journeying at the phone to actually the whole situation stayman. that he attended to that was going on and and believe it or not 'd for me it's been said now say that i never thought i'd say those words but actually exercising is the one thing as maybe fear or 'd a and to go back to film and do a comedy series called to do isto and to go back to film not. will be september i think made it will be a whole new world. elim probably is no active in scotland the 'd few elsewhere who do more live performances the new do of a whole variety of kinds of analysis of what you think the impact on audiences are because it will for many people will be a visit for

a punt away there is you know as an on your highlight that collective experience would have been with impact of of more generally as of the the few from going public and not being able to enjoy the collective experience well interesting way the other night an experiment was done by andrew lloyd webber at the palladium in london and with the wonderful beverly knight and i found out and they wanted to see one could be socially destine sena but also what the experience from the and i think that need for people to to assemble from the group straight to the reef through to another days to gather in one place to experience something together is really really important because over the years in or chuch is the places that people gather are small community don't have that anymore and much as it's nice to connect with people and zoom or whatever it may be it's not the same it's not the

same as as you are being and one woman should get in lockdown lot of people were like her father would have been soon quizzes and all about but it's not the same and i had actually more difficult to communicate that in their experience of beverly and i faintly to know how those and see if they knew and they were loaded about 400 people in a 30 socially destines west must the show up having more spine tast it what the collective experience was not the same and i know that there was a higher and read great piece about it that that there was a part where she did that particular saw and during it though it is not applauding and. i think but they're not as vocal because the reader must is up and their plight and at one point she did a song from cats at the memory of which she had played in the west end musical and the whole audience stood up and she started to cry because it was the 1st

human real response because they couldn't stop themselves from standing up and applauded her for her she'd done it and i think that small we were really really neat by christmas how we're going to do i don't know i think that people will need that release and that desire to gather again all and i think particularly for young people i had a professor the other day saying that the biggest sacrifice in all of this has been made by young people at the trend of the latest not being able you know that exams all about and i know go you get you know the occasional and you of those people gathered in for a read that they shouldn't you understand it you understand that absolute collective need for all of us to gather the experience something together with other people. join us after the break elaine c. smith tells us about her own breakthrough in political theater and we continue our

discussion about the scottish arts in looked at you with finding director of the scottish hughes theater gathered for dale. summer solution where every summer we look at solutions from all the problems they conquer on every other month of the year now today recovering big lobel ization the

dollar is asian and china for cation process which is game speed under trump but what has set in motion really understand 41122001 when china became member of the world trade organization time now to turn a curse fenton author of feeding the dragon. welcome back l e c smith is one of the most familiar faces on comedy shows on television but she made her breakthrough in political theater she continues her discussion with alex. a little. could be one of the main. many fans to your ball was prudent political theater in scotland what are your favorite foods was what the summit before the moving company but even by over the last generation how much will influence

political feat of been on the political landscape of scotland can you point to set in place productions today and companies which have actually been influential in the in the scottish psyche in terms of the attitude to politics i remember going see this that this is the it's a glass or as a john a student 72 for i am for the uninitiated 7080 or stupid for 7 percent of the population or 84 percent of the well but that started me you know sort of walk me up if you like and then seeing them on stage i love the guy given 74 though they had a big red van with 72 for the to come in the side and they were out in the highlands tournament and the divine was the petrol station and they said to john progress and the guy said what is that so far so is that 7 percent of the population or if you 4 percent the wealth they gather those would be to brag about as that. was that no

matter where maybe your political party sadly it's now those of the only 3 percent of the population or 90 odd percent of the well if it was done but we were how what they called that new. and of subsidize the a cannot let borderline the young lyceum that the traditional lyceum was daily sort of middle class jobs through the poorest people but the young lyceum the child their belly carly rae plays for the head to mcmillan and and through political literature you had people like james kelman and tom leonard and les law all coming through right and seeing of voices matter but they were all part of a of their. you waiver with main up of independence about where the country was that was clear art was happening in these small companies and i and i

think in those countries as part of that we live in the 1970 s. through things like scholarship the coming out and saying we've got a for us you know you may not agree with it maybe and it was sort of the action to that side of all the gains that london be middle class paper feel you know and you're also a brilliant writers that well they're also from liverpool write these bridge stories and jimmy mcgovern and and yet so you have all or us of people coming through and feeling the same at the same time i mean john mcgrath extatic right now and save costs they're iconic c.d.'s and but he all these guys knew each other and they were determined that that they had something to see about the world and and help people understand so finally leaves this movie who what's next once we get

through this pandemic as we will go to form the 3 main pic company or you what's what's next what was worship push of plums all over the postponed demick future i don't pick lovers out a lot of the 3. i i just i would keep going on and my politics i never want to be a member of a party are everything like that i've always felt that i was a more important voice if you like as as an independent voice outside and against your freedom to see that song and any government will do things or the mystics that generally a sterile what ever 10 people make them laugh and make them feel a bit better and the wire and i think i think we may need that quite a bit in the months to come. stuff steve's screen may your late continue to shine brightly and thank you for joining me on the alex salmond show that asian

guy for dale has been a fixture at the artistic scene in scotland for more than 40 years as a drama teacher writer and producer today he speaks to alex about the productions he's been involved with and also those which have never made it to the screen. drama teacher producer writer you've been a fixture of the artistic see the scott one for the last half century but i want to tom 1st of all your early achievements as one of the founders of the scottish you theatre i'm interested you know when you see get a butler card and go learn the k.t. tunstall of douglas henshall on screen and some huge production out of the state of self or that was nearby the idea of to phone the scottish if the 40 years ago. well thanks for saying that alex i certainly diverted my career at that time as a theatre director and producer but i thought it was something worth doing i had

been a teacher of drama and schools in glasgow and i would watch all the hard work in the thirty's as i'm that they had shown in drama an english classes dissipate and i would see the sea pupils pushing a pram down the street with no opportunities in front of them. other guy standing in a street corner you know trying to catch cigarettes from somebody solve i could understand from my experience of meeting these young people that they were full of absolute energy and quite a number of them had serious talent and ability it was very raw it just needed to be refined and one way of doing the course giving them confidence you have in them the ability to communicate better and language was to set up a national seat or what i wanted it to be a national theatre of young people where they worked with adult professionals not

with other amateurs that was the difference and i actually managed to get started. a lot of gas into this program elaine see smurf were what was telling me that it was actually a year who suggested that she might there try a hand up there the 74 feet of cup there are a political theatre is that correct what did you put in just see a valencia swear for all these years ago that said. someone who could make a way and that paper for that type of drama well i'm grateful to ilene because he's one of the few people who remember my phone number and her and remember that was me who actually said yeah you have the ability. take a chance go in and try the profession i did warn her she might get typecast. but she could avoid kitchell czeisler parks. elim see smith as somebody i would call larger than life and so i actually saw a light. saw there wasn't any way one could tell someone like that now.

i mean how many others by the way we have said you could agree voice going to going to read you. are you know did do news reading and in fact there are 2 of them who did exactly that no one agree create a sense so it needs a good year but no alina somebody who stands out in the crowd and acting is all about you know there of course what an extraordinary pains than the festival should be in full swing this week and of course of the virtually nothing of what that is the show is the absence of the then but a festival as a big blow to the arts of scotland or as our only one aspect of their way the difficulties that their pandemic is causing all well no i mean it's just a tragedy that the festivals shut down and drove through the other night you know on just to clear my head and it was it's

a dead city it was completely lifeless. i think sus or somebody cross the road at one point that was about it saw. all that activity although all one of my complaints about the festival has that the stand up comedians are taking over a great chunk of it as they have television and the ever festival part of the else is a great discipline for productions and performances i mean few years back i had one myself and we had to get the set cleared for their de lorean play that was on the needs that were before us and if we went over exact. one hour then the north korean dancers who were on after us were getting fidgety in their if their room sir settler taught you to the state strip timetable of production with one of the one of its assets i don't know i mean i'm not. a supporter of. turning out

factory sausages in the us think you need to look time and you need you need to be able to work with the audience and they need to enjoy it and have time afterwards to talk about it. depends who's running the venue doesn't it alex you know at the end it. this is all it's all money. old enough usenet expression but i'm old enough to remember when you could do you could send them almost any production in a festival and do it was very little money and get a venue for next to nothing but it's getting so commercialized no that. it's quite disappointing let's look at accessibility more generally when it can be very difficult to get the finance together to a production but is huge so difficult to get the television series or a or a film a them in the money required is a huge obstacle how big

a baddie other is that they're getting great works on to the screen over that b. television or cinema well we scots don't mix well it's not really we're going to see films but we do it really make them the few that do will make a film about their youth because they're young people themselves and the just left film coarsely university in scotland so all they have as their last few years to look at they're going to create something that suppose young people. of. scotland never grows up but you can name a dozen films. about young people have come up to scotland in the past 2030 years it's very hard to name a film about adults many treats but it was essentially young people. solo the difficulty is the funds are in london and when people tell me it's the you

know the british the british film industry and british television it has been it's the lish film industry and television 100 been some spectacular comedy successes from b.b.c. scotland over the years there's been some some series of comedy which not only of produce the great stars valhalla away the audience elsewhere where there were 4 without subtitles. there's always that an exception to the rule you know the b.b.c. used to have a good comedy unit used to have a good drama unit but you won't see any sunset sons being made by b.b.c. scotland in one b.b.c. london as the lot as authority he have the money they have the decisions b.b.c. scotland is just a pause so finally go for the record be a message to the creatives youngsters of the scotland of today just for your

message all these years ago as the there for people to join the theatre what would be a mess is the creative yell for scotland it is they're looking to the future. well meyer one of my daughters is a chip of the old block she's a seat a director. i pleaded with her to try and stay in scotland. to create work here and she has done a few times but now she's down south so all like me she had to leave our own country of her birth to find work just look at big sean connery you know he led the way for a whole myriad of scots actors who follow in his footsteps but it would be nice if we could keep so a lot of that talent here or at least keep coming back because the work is here. go for vale dramatist to educate a writer thank you for joining me on the all examine show you're welcome the

edinburgh festival constitute the largest banks in the world deborah french alone was due to start this weekend and feature more than 60000 performances with 2500 separate shows much more than 300 venues the economic impact is massive and perhaps a familiar on you will grumping of edge of the denizens about getting their capital back will be placed into some context you only mess what is really valuable when it is no longer there were widely live performances across the aisle so one of the key industries suffering from corporate and occasional online performance and experiments with socially distance concerts are hardly an effective substitute government's assistance will only scratch the surface of the looming artistic recession and then this impacts on the public elaine see smith the surely correct in saying that the inability to gather for the shared experience is one of the most profound psychological impacts of the pandemic on people it is a for the trust in the coronavirus court which doesn't point to any happy endings

in this very human and global drama but for now from alex myself and all that issue it's good bye stacey i mean hope to see you all next week. the be. theft.

we go to work see you straight home. you cannot be both with the yeah you are. the mc maxwell saki is one of the most sensational stories of our time however media coverage appears to be limited to learning details and political overtones to the single biggest question that needs to be answered is how all of this could have happened where was law enforcement and will justice be finally served.

welcome to our viewers from around the world live from central london this is all to u.k. . britain's local look downs continue with preston in the next city facing restrictions after a spike in the number of covert 19 cases since the government's test and trace scheme sees a fall and the number of close contacts being reached full of the consecutive week . the long term impact told coronaviruses laid with sufferers reporting severe debilitating symptoms i'll be talking to a survivor shortly. the british brain drain if you see the plume in the u.k. migration since the country voted to leave in 2016 to get reaction from our europe correspondent. the lebanese capital is slowly

reviving after being stunned by a deadly explosion in the port of beirut with residents taking to the streets to help the cleanup effort. also the more than willing to present a complaints of racial discrimination against the metropolitan police end up with no further action being taken to be joined by a former chief superintendent from the force. the u.k. city of preston is the latest city to introduce local lockdown measures amid a surge in corona virus cases this comes as figures reveal the number of contacts reached by the government's test and trace system as fallen for 3 weeks in a row. joins me here in the studio with all the latest so shut it what's happening then in preston well the government has now. never hesitated to implement local

look down to deal with these outbreaks in almost a whack a mole fashion press and could be the next to reach into and into a localized lockdown because of a spike in corona virus cases in the region as always the government has said if they get data dictated they would then act upon that and it seems as though preston is really seeing of rise in infections then according to the latest figures then cases of the coronavirus have almost doubled in preston in the weeks leading up to the 31st of july cases have jumped from 22 to 49 that's roughly 35 cases per 100000 people press and now has the highest sec highest number of cases in england just behind and darwin you have 119 cases and preston source 18 cases confirmed in just one day now these staggering stats have prompted advice to change and people have been told not to visit other household this all comes as

a night club just reopened in the area over the weekend it's actually the 1st nightclub in the united kingdom to reopen despite the current climate of course and the expensive tickets are $180.00 pounds a pop $500.00 young people went to clumps which now the venue claim to get legal advice before deciding to reopen but in these pictures it is clear to see that there's not really any attempt of social distancing and many people are now quite angry so all things considered then it looks like preston will become the latest regent and a local lock down in north and north of england joining a hefty list in the area including east lancashire parts of west yorkshire and greater manchester now as i mentioned preston council a now advise ing its residents not to visit other households implementing new guidance that was like what we've seen across the united kingdom at the heights of lock down mosque wearing maximum social distancing in a way all. almost preempting

a governmental decision now i want to national scale though the number of people that have been contacted after someone they know has tested positive for the covert 19 has fallen drastically which suggests that 72 percent of people who have been contacted were reached between the 23rd and 29th of june which is down from 76 percent the week before around 200000 doubt of the 242002 are considered to be close contacts were reached by test and traced from when the system fast launched that means just under 18 percent of people were not contacted at all i don't know local level though things were looking slightly more positive 98 percent of contacts were reached by local health teams and instructed to quarantine but the online and call center approach wasn't as successful just a little over 56 percent of close contacts were then told to i say now the government maintains that all of this is in line exactly as they expected they

believed it would be around the 70 percent mark and that is exactly what it is but it does look like according to this data that the united kingdom is how to link towards a 2nd spike of 19 if not we are in it already showed us thank you very much for that smain while the british parliament is investigating the long term impact of covert 19 on health single mother claire hasty gave details of just some of the launching. a session with across party committee of m.p.'s. well there's a question as to whether if we had had oxygen earlier when i might add in a boat whatever we're now experiencing is one thing of the one it goes and it's also meant to to make the point that this is not a linear recovery i'm sure. it's the lapses and the limits not only that is even quite a long. way down the line so i'm 20 weeks yesterday middle of march because it got ugly in our group same but at the same signs needs

a doctor who posted 2 days ago the station oxygen if you take these you know that's temporary or permanent or what's it we had someone several people posting yesterday to say and then when asked about incontinence at 20 weeks so they urinate in all of their carpets because they can't get to the toilet and this is developing or a half months of women down the line. started a facebook group for long term sufferers like yourself which since has attracted over 15000 members many sufferers say they are unable to complete everyday tasks since their covert 19 infection and face financial difficulties due to an inability to work the committee was told about other serious symptoms that have been reported including mini strokes and blood clots suffers according on the government to recognize a suffering as an official disability and offer support adam steadman who owns 2 businesses has been battling with symptoms for 22 weeks now after a suspected case of corona virus earlier this year adam thank you very much indeed

for joining us what are your symptoms now well. it's a bit of a lottery each week spinning a roulette wheel of to what i'm going to get the moment i've got. a lot of people reporting which is this brain fog and cognitive function whereabouts help pick the wrong words to say things i can't for the full sentences. i constantly feel like i'm drunk which might not be a bad thing but certainly not drinking and i've also got what i can only describe as a carpal tunnel liked. syndrome will wake up in the middle of my night and my handle be totally asleep after shaking at base it's absolutely fine when you 1st fell ill you were tested for credit or if you suspected it could have been that. i wasn't actually tested when i 1st fell ill despite going to hospital for something else that she thought i had a migraine attack i nearly passed out when i was driving my car and my oxygen levels extremely low and they thought maybe it might have been

a small heart attack or something but all the blood tests came back absolutely fine just my oxygen level that was a little bit low and they sent me home the same night but then later you had other antibody test is that yes you have that corona virus so about 3 or 4 days after i left the hospital i had all the classic symptoms of a loss of taste of really bad cough gasping for air all the time it was awful and it wasn't until about. a month ago when i actually got a proper blood test where they actually took my blood and tested it properly and they said yes you got so you had the covert 19 virus and a few weeks after that i took the answer gen test and i am now negative so it just proves i had the virus i just don't have anymore but if you're a businessman what's happening with your work because we're hearing obviously many people simply can't work at the moment we are and i'm lucky i have a good team that works for me as well but i find that i can only really work and do

things in the morning in the afternoon i'm not very good at all and. i've got a fortune of i'm fortunate 1st both of our businesses have been extremely busy join the lock down based in the i.t. sector. but you're feeling pretty rough every day and we obviously have seen that something a 15000 people join this group so you're certainly not alone as we know do you think know there is much of an understanding of what is happening to people like yourself i really don't think there is a lot of understanding at the moment there is so much stuff that i'm reading each day things that people are posting and every time you read it you go yes i've got that i've got that if anything it's reassuring to know that you're not the only one . that doesn't seem to be an absolute answer to why we're all feeling like this and the thing that scares me the most is what happens if i suddenly have a relapse because i see all the time that people are having relapses i feel like i'm starting to get better when i compare myself to weeks at

a time but i just feel something could happen and it takes me back that's a real worry what is your g.p. saying is there's no magic medicine as such to help you feel better. no i have been on some medication to treat anxiety because at the start i did think it was anxiety related i've just come off that medication now because i felt that maybe that might be making me more tired and causing the fog a little bit and it certainly has improved a little bit but really they don't know there's this is nobody that's really coming up with anything to treat this or we even ease the symptoms and of course you could have other illnesses there along with crowbars incredible hours may not necessarily be having that impact on you is that a fair thing to say it is it is a fair thing to say i mean one thing very very bad it actually identify another issue with me which they're looking a bit more into at the moment which i'm glad to say doesn't seem to be a big issue so that's good for the blood test called but. they often that worries

me is is coronavirus going to actually start causing other issues to appear prematurely what do you feel about those who don't take current of our seriously we're even wear face masks and where we've seen people. breaking the social distancing rules. i mean ever after reforms entitle to do what they like but it really does frustrate me i make a really big point of wearing a face mask outside in town and everywhere to try normalize it a little bit and i think that because it's not the normal thing to do people aren't doing it. just very briefly then i must ask you what support do you think you'll get with this parliamentary committee will that help things just briefly i really don't know i know there was a talk about the n.h.s. in this new portal or going to get access to soon but that was announced about a month ago i've not seen anything about that it's good to take it seriously but i don't have a lot of confidence in it at the moment and we wish you well thank you very much

indeed for sharing your experience with us thank you adam stephan thank you. the number of britons leaving the u.k. in taking up residency in the e.u. countries is soared since the vote to leave the bloc in 2016 according to a joint report by researches in oxford and berlin are these people of a report on the latest brain drain. briggs it was always going to comb with consequences and amid talk of taking back control and sunlit uplands ahead freedom of movement the right to live and work in 27 of the nations is being taken away from u.k. citizens now that's prompted is a huge uptake in british people seeking a new home and the new passport in mainland europe these increases in numbers are of a magnitude that you would expect when a country is hit by a major economic or political crisis another important finding from the empirical evidence associated with bragg's it is reduced levels of consideration and level

headedness in decision making with increases in levels of impulsiveness spontaneity and corresponding risk taking spain has seen the highest jump in migration figures with british people applying for residency jumping 5 fold in the period between 20 sixteen's vote and 28 in france a 2nd where prior to break that around 500 u.k. citizens a year were registering as migrants that figure is now closer to 5000 here in germany just 622 u.k. citizens applied for geale nationality in 2015 last year that number was over 30000 with the estimate suggesting it's around hof of the 120000 or so british citizens in germany will apply for a passport by the end of this year migrants from the u.k. on the whole have high levels of skills and education in germany british migrants

are amongst the highest earners behind those from austria and the united states a u.k. brain drain to the continent may well be one of the consequences of breaks that as people look to hold on to their earning potential and also maintain their ability to live and work in e.u. member states peter all of our artsy berlin. meanwhile it seems british voters are resident overseas of swayed away from the conservative party in the years after the brits that vote there's currently a time limit on voting rights of 15 years which the prime minister was expected to ditch but the research throws that prospect into doubt just 6.2 percent of brits in the e.u. voted tory in december's election and that's down by 2 thirds from the 2015 election when 19.4 percent voted conservative and decades back in 1992 over 60 percent of voted for john major's party and in the next hour we're joined by

polling gurus john curtis to discuss these latest voting trends and what they might mean for the future of ex-pat voting. still to come this hour more than 2000 racism complaints against the metropolitan police a result of the no further action we'll hear from a former chief superintendent. so . every summer we look at solutions from all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization the dollar is asian and china for cation process which has gained speed but what has set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization

time now to turn a curse france and author of beating the dragon. a more robust moreover won't be one in which we move business as usual but guess what . we prepared for call guns. a lot cheaper reduced mobility you know the jury is a lot cheaper than having. lebanon is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 137 people and injured 5000 some residents are still missing and local authorities say the

number of dead and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble to search for survivors well to give you know i did the scale of the. satellite images of the area before and after the blast all surrounding buildings were leveled the point of the shock waves which were reportedly felt as far away as sleepers explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city. well for some locals the day was meant to be a big event for a very different reason this is the moment a wedding photo shoot abruptly ended in chaos because of the blast. the sheer extent of the destruction has left the city's emergency services overwhelmed residents are taking to the streets to help with the clean up operation local journalists had reports on help people in beirut to coping with the tragedy.

beta it's one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. the for. the and. the for. the for. this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of

which are for internationally known brands today it is covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion yesterday this here area is known to be very joyful it used to be very crowded and very busy very colorful unfortunately today it looks very sad of the disaster that happened to beirut that's the way it's assumed to be like. a front of people full of lives and the situation on the ground in the town do everything got destroyed this is the 2nd time in history that the route has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like boot i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and the one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have a lot of historic importance they are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil

war and following the lebanese civil war many of. i'm was destroyed lebanon has you had billeted these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to habitation all over again. this isn't the beirut we know we need beirut is the middle east which is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war as yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of empty government on rest the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby with has to find yet another way to rise from beneath his. the lebanese government says a number of port officials have been placed under house arrest pending an investigation meanwhile authorities have allocated over $66000000.00 to deal with the aftermath of the blast international community is also coordinating its relief efforts to help beirut get back to normal life russia is among those helping

sending far of emergency planes to the lebanese capital and to point a mobile hospital that auntie's correspondent reports from the site. this is a field hospital in its early stages it is just being built in fact there's another group of emergency workers on the way with more infrastructure but this is where russian rescuers will be taking those injured those still in need of medical attention from after the blast. well everything that you can see around me was erected overnight it was literally an empty lot just 2 o'clock in the morning last time i was here well fast forward 6 hours and well there's already a small tent city here. well

these are search dogs have been traveling with me or rather i was with them and they will be sniffing out those who may be still trapped and a life under the rubble. the city of be roots is devastated morally physically financially in fact of all places that i've ever been to apart from active war zones of course this one with all the rubble destruction and vehicles just abandoned that side of the road resembles a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie the most and the russian aid effort aims here at relieving at least some of the pain i'm done of reporting from beirut in. r.t. . thousands of complaints of racial discrimination against metropolitan police officers have resulted in no further action there have been almost 3000 complaints and 2015 a freedom of information request has revealed and 93 percent of these let to no

further action being taken 70 complaints did result in formal action against an officer and 68 prompted management action meaning officers were given advice on conduct met takes all occasions of a racist nature extremely seriously and it's clear racism has no place within the organization policing is complex and challenging and we strive to ensure that we are fair and just it comes amid growing concerns of systemic discrimination within the police just last month a team g.b. athlete bianca williams accused london police officers of racial profiling after her car was pulled over and the search of believes that a family was targeted because they are black and drive an expensive car and that police have since apologized to bianca williams and voluntarily referred the incident to the police watched all well for more on this i'm not joined by the

former metropolitan chief superintendent dahl vadala very good to see this is shocking is it 90 percent no action. wait very very worrying and i think we've seen this time of black lives matter movements across the world so people are asking there's a much more scrutiny around issues around race and the police are at the forefront of it so i think this is a one to systemic problem in the u.k. around the representation of weight minorities a treaty to a whole range of different organizations within the u.k. but of course it can be said it could be said that there was an investigation and nothing was found. but. you could say that but 90 percent it seems incredibly or 93 percent seems an incredible acquittal rate so i think i think what we need to look at is and the statistics show that there will probably be more complaints this year than they have been in previous years so we really need to make sure that we're dealing with these issues properly that we're learning from

them has a society and the police in particular and that we have a system where they community have confidence in the police i think these figures no matter what metric you use bill you will see a disproportional say you have minorities are treated so you're more likely 4 to 6 times more likely be stuffed if you're a minority in the police across the whole of the country in terms of police officer this is internal that make up 7 percent of the police service but make up 23 percent of all discipline hearings so whether it's internal or external there he's significant concerns about have minorities are treated in places where there are those concerns when you were in the force yeah absolutely i was there at the height of the stephen lawrence investigation where the police had failed to investigate the death of the black teenager and that led subsequently led to a public inquiry which led to 70 recommendations but even those recommendations have not been implemented in fact one of them was to ensure that 25 percent of the

police service was reflective of the community it serves it and nationally as i've already said it's 7. percent so those challenges were there for for many years and out of the difficulty that the british police have along with many other organizations is whenever there's a crises they have a report. people say they're going to do all the right things and then the recommendations never get implemented don't and there lies the problem we have a report after report around racism in britain whether report recommendations or not implement it and here we have the bianca williams case and of course the institutional racism the met was meant to be a thing of the past wasn't after the macpherson report into the death of black teenager stephen lawrence and that was back in 1903. yes so the report came out in $0.90 recommendations and like i say they have they still have not been implemented i think the worrying thing about the bianca and there's 2 sides to this we get a an instant from the police's point of view they will say that they indicated for

the vehicle to stop the vehicle didn't stop he went on the wrong side of the road the windows were tinted and and they eventually managed to stop the vehicle nasa bianca's point of view we see has released a few seconds of that encounter but even there you've got a mother with a child and the police have now taken to handcuffing everybody they urged everybody they stop and search and that certainly wasn't done in when i was a police officer so i mean that's a worrying trend and i think we need to examine the need to handcuff them in bianca's case she's she's a mother with a child i would question whether it's appropriate to handcuff her in those and what does that sort of incident and of course plenty of others do to the trust and confidence in policing within the boehm community. well it has a quite understandably quite negative impact so you see if you go across the country there is a marked difference in how much confidence white people have as opposed to black people have in the police and i think the police service needs to take that

concerns very very seriously because ultimately you rely on the community to help you solve crimes there are caught between 2. susan have confidence in the place then there is a danger that you will have a situation where people will not come forward not want to be witnesses these people them to go go. rely very very heavily. they please fall so keep them safe so it is a worrying trend and we are seeing at the moment an increase in the number of complaints against the police around race issues dull very good of you to join us thank you for to we just live here not a dull bubble and that's it for the moment i'll have more news for you in half an hour from now. but the pandemic no certainly no borders and is blocking to another tease.

you. know so much to talk about through the we don't look like seem. to be. judging. commentary this is. something. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing a general way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is creating the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. a short time ago an american airplane. hiroshima.

standing up kind any. girl cries that. one day when you don't know. chin it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather 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 145 and had chosen 20 targets and russia.

i. this is the bus the one business show you can't afford to miss friendship or in washington coming up we have disappointing jobs data out of the united states as lawmakers appear to be deadlocked on another stimulus package we'll break down the effect on the economy and what's moving markets plus with a start if you're in jeopardy how are influencers going to be affected we have a content creator on hand to discuss we have a packed show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with the latest jobs jobs that are out of the united states the private sector added just $167000.00 jobs in the month of july according to payroll company 80 pete now the growth was disappointing as economists expected between one and 2000000 new jobs to be filed for the month with the actual number falling well below the more than 4000000 jobs that were created in june now despite 3 months of job growth the jobs

market has not been able to rebound from that nearly 20000000 jobs lost in march and april at the start of stay at home orders due to the pandemic meanwhile when it comes to government assistance for those affected by the pandemic it appears lawmakers are still deadlocked on the next round of stimulus however there are some moves senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said tuesday he would support a bill that extends $600.00 weekly unemployment checks something that has been a point of contention if democrats were able to reach a deal with the white house on an overall plan for more on the state of the economy and what's moving markets wednesday let's go ahead and bring in boom bust co-host christine christine let's start with this payroll growth it's slowing down but that's not the whole story break down the report for us as you said the jobs number thing was way worse than expectation that only 157000 jobs added in july so this kind of slow. down kind of confirms that any sort of v. shaped recovery that everybody was hoping for that's clearly over and out of the picture and all the 167000 jobs 166000 were in the services category which makes

sense given that the u.s. is a services based economy however only a 1000 of those jobs were actually in the goods producing category so that number actually came in really really low which shows that the manufacturing recession that is definitely here and and will be here for the foreseeable future natural resources mining and construction took a huge hit and now if you look at the gain most of the gains actually came from larger companies while small and mid-sized companies they are still struggling and even slashing jobs within services those gains are primarily in the professional education and health care sectors while information and financials declined so despite these awful a.t.p. numbers the market actually still green today which shows that bad news is good news as we love to say thanks to trump who said that there will be another big jobs number on friday and that he might might suspend the payroll tax in order to supercharge the economy. if it is like the 2 sides are making some sort of progress

despite trying to figure out a deadlock millions of americans are now at a risk of poverty or hole was this how was the situation with the stimulus looking as not being that great because by the end of august over $5000000.00 americans they will be unable to cover basic living expenses without the extra $600.00 of unemployment payments that had lapsed last week so right now about $30000000.00 americans are collecting jobless benefits but without that extra 600 dollars 44 percent of them are receiving less than $800.00 a month so by the end of august analysts estimate that about 5400000 americans are going to be financially insolvent and over 9000000 by the end of september so these figures are actually pretty conservative given that they don't even take into account the americans who will who will lose their jobs in the near future in the coming months given that businesses are permanently shutting down and they're not. restarting they will not get their jobs back and layoffs have not stopped in the small and as small businesses shutter this vicious cycle will just continue because

the job market will shrink and christie of course whenever there is a concern about the shaped recovery or any type of recovery gold prices go up and prices are rocketing to a new record high on wednesday after smashing past $2000.00 for the 1st time is there still room to run for gold because it seems like no matter what it's going to continually go up at some point well this is actually a really exciting time in gold as the weaker the dollar is as the falling and the falling returns of the u.s. bond market that's driving investors to continually hoard gold and drive the prices up so gold in total of this year year to date has risen 34 percent already as a safe haven climate is safe havens in this climate is really really scarce and this is a huge deal as gold broke the $2000.00 level for the 1st time investors right now are fearing that the economic stimulus that was released in order to counter this pandemic that will trigger and cycle that will devalue other assets right now real returns on u.s. bonds they have already fallen sharply making the non yielding gold way march

active so with on going to terry in the u.s. dollar the u.s. yield curve the opportunity cost in the cost of caring for gold that is getting less and less and right now there's also silver silver prices are also surging rising about 48 percent this year year to date as it is a very similar monetary asset very similar to gold but it also benefits from its use as an industrial model as well kristie we all know how hard it is free to talk so positively about the gold market but we appreciate it we'll get the big point sometime later this week boom bust co-host christiane thank you so much for that insight thank you. and it seems like almost every day there is a new issue for global economies affected by the coronavirus and today is no different in fact we are now beginning to see the effects of how the virus in the economic lockdowns which have followed have devastated emerging markets investors are bracing themselves for more defaults and just. eruptions within these those markets after argentina's deal with creditors was highlighted how bad things have

become for some economies in the case of argentina the nation has now reached an agreement with its major foreign private creditors to restructure $65000000000.00 in debt though some analysts believe that this bailout from the fund could involve massive economic overhauls that might be unpopular in the country joining us now to discuss is school bus co-host and investigative journalist ben swan and host of economic update professor richard well thank you both for being here today professor wolf i want to start with you what does this restructure deal look like in argentina and is it a good or bad thing. it's a disaster for the poor country it's really hard to wrap your head around that 1st of all worried it could deal with the private creditors the banks and hedge funds and so forth that lend all that money to argentina we need prime argentino will get the ability to stretch out the debt or delay payments until or later date they

still owe the money they didn't really get it released but they don't have to pay as soon as they are wise might it gives them breathing room but here's the basic problem whatever they now do with the i.m.f. as they work out they're probably debts on top of their private jets remember that the borrowing is gone by a tiny group of bankers and politicians at the top they get a lot of benefits out of the borrower but when you have a crash like the global capitalist system now rises how are you going to pay it back and the answer always is squeeze lemanis the people cut the public services or raise the taxes or both to find the money that won't go to the people anymore but will go to pay off their debts it's a vicious cycle it's been going on for a long time and with this crisis it means that it has finally hit the road and then 3rd world and then that will wash back and make our economic difficulties greater

too it's a very sad process ben to professor wolf's point the total amount of debt owed by argentina has been massive and with their history of defaulting on loans was this to be expected. well yeah i think absolutely was to be expected remember this this deal with the i.m.f. is not a very old deals only really just a few months old in which this deal was reached and yet as the professor rightly said argentina finds itself in a very difficult position here but mostly the people of argentina more so than anyone else consider the fact the nation owes about $323000000000.00 total but even as we look at at what is owed i think it's also interesting to look at to whom it is yes the i.m.f. is part of that but there is one american investment company called black rock it is the world's largest asset manager and it controls about half of that debt in

argentina and i think when you think about it in those terms you know it's different then a nation state borrowing or with your borrowing money from a nation state in this case you have private equity firms that control the massive debt of an entire nation and therefore dictate the terms of repayment and what does that look like to the people what does it look like for resources in the country what does it look like for issues like you know the energy sector in the country at what point those asset managers have the ability to begin to liquidate or take control of parts of the country or parts of the economy it's a very weird situation right now professor wolfe you actually spoke about what this will mean for the people of argentina as this will basically be passed out of them how much sovereignty is the nation giving up with this debt restructuring. well he gave up their sovereignty won it decided in the 1st place to borrow these kinds of money look there's

a blunt reality they could have reduced their debt maybe even avoided it had they been willing to tax the rich inside our genes to raise the money to make that economy work they were unwilling or politically on able to do it so instead they borrowed money to save the taxing the rich and now they want the mass of the people to pay the bill for not having tax the rich are not asked me all you can only play that game a certain number of times and squeeze the mass of your people a certain number of times what you're doing up for here is a social explosion when people in argentina and other countries say if not we're not going to do it this anymore and now ben you know professor of just much of it other countries because our duty to isn't the only latin american nation dealing with this problem problem we have the same situation in ecuador what's going on

there. you have so little in fact ecuador just got support from its majority of bondholders are restructuring about $17400000000.00 in debt as well and it is a similar situation happening in ecuador and in fact the leadership of ecuador is very similar in terms of mentality and thought process as the leadership of argentina wanting to go out and borrow these massive amounts of money restructuring debt but i think something the professor said is is true you know in the u.s. we have a tendency to look at latin american countries especially countries that have seen socialist revolutions in those countries nations like venezuela and will say well how could this possibly happen how could the people ever fall in to socialism without recognizing that exactly what's happening right now in argentina and ecuador are pushing the people towards that kind of revolution because as he said you get a small group of people who dominate the country control the population and ng game the economy for their own benefit and the only answer to that is some kind of

revolution robust co-host bents want to professor rolf thank you both for breaking this down for us. thank you thanks. time now for a quick break here because when we return the video has heated up and. influencers straight ahead. on what we can expect as we go to break here the numbers. every summer we look at. problems on every other month of the year now today recovery. process which is again.

key correspondent saya tablature where we wednesday sobran more than 18500000 people around the world have been diagnosed with covered 1000 as of wednesday more than 300008 new cases just in the last 24 hours now the global death toll has surpassed 707000 which means nearly $5900.00 people are dying every 24 hours 247 an hour or one person every 15 seconds and you're more likely to die from kuwait in 1000 here in the u.s. than almost anywhere in the world which now has over $4900000.00 confirm that and over $161000.00 that's now here in the u.s. california remains to be the stayed with the highest number of cases florida followed which has surpassed 500000 cases today wednesday then texas new york and

georgia but new york still has the highest number of deaths at over 330001 other state neighboring new jersey. he has crossed the 10000 mark and its death toll and now looking at the numbers globally disease would you give to no latin america has surpassed europe to become the region with the highest number of death toll now the region in fact has not recorded more than 206000 deaths approximately 30 percent of the global total brazil the latin american country with the most affected by cold in 1000 recorded a total of 96326 deaths now the say mexico the 2nd most affected country in the region now has over 48000 deaths breaks have also occurred in. chile ecuador argentina and bolivia and brandis pandemic was initially actually slower to reach latin america which is home to

about 865650 1000000 people but government officials have since really struggled to control this part of the virus because more than 100000000 people across latin america live in extreme poverty with no way of social distancing and continue to work throughout demick and now quickly here is the top 10 countries with the most covert cases right now so as you can see even in parts of the world that don't live in poverty there's been a record number of cases i mean just take a look at the u.s. the number one country with the most cases and deaths and other nations like australia japan hung kong sudan ethiopia bulgaria belgium was becca ston and israel have all recently had record increases in new cases as well or 2 correspondents are taboo to thank you for keeping us up to date.

now for the latest in the ongoing saga involving social media tick-tock as we previously reported. president donald trump has said he will ban the app in the u.s. by september 15th unless a deal can be made for microsoft or another american company to purchase tick tocks u.s. operations one point that has confused onlookers is the president's contention that a portion of the purchase of the app should have to go to the treasury now white house press secretary kelly mcenaney was asked about this on tuesday but offered little clarification so i'm not going to get ahead of the president on any official action but he has made that point and he and the secretary pompei i have said that the u.s. actually to the u.s. will take action in the coming days and chinese apps including tick tock tick tock sees me due to the national security risk and we all agree that there needs to be a change especially with take talk collecting significant amounts of private data on users it's unacceptable now meanwhile president trump himself spoke to reporters

on tuesday and referenced the overwhelming popularity of the juggernaut at. tick-tock is very successful it does tremendous business in the united states people are riveted by it i mean i have many friends when they saw that announcement they're calling i think their kids love it they don't because it will get to see their kids had enough but they are it's an amazing thing whatever it may be. this week we have discussed the cyber security issues as well as the business implications regarding the situation with tic-tac but this all raises the question of how will this move affect those who make tick tock what it is and that's the content creator so let's go ahead and bring in one of the top tick-tock influencers zach king into the show zach big you so much for joining us really appreciate it today. now i want to start with what the president actually just talked about there at the highly popular why has tick-tock been able to open that door and become so popular especially over the last 12 months here in the united states. i mean you

know as an influencer on. really in this industry for the last 12 years you know i've been on 6 music we i've years ago and so for us the rise wasn't even in this last year that's made it successful i mean there's been a lot in the last year but what they've been doing from the beginning i just a couple years ago was their algorithm it so power on that it levels the playing field for anyone who wants to as a stone and can make a little fun story or a joke or do a dance or whatever maybe there's a ton of different ecosystems and creators on the internet on tick tock but allows anyone to have the chance to go viral on a totally different level that's that's bigger than we've seen possible with you tube that's bigger than we and so graham and i need and so that's why it's so exciting i think that's the drop not only is it you are but on especially for those viewers who are trying to concentrate on the make of that definitely as a as a viewer of tick tock even if you don't create your own content it's very

consumable so if you're getting a short video it's got a lot of them are music and dance so it gives you something to not only watch but listen to. it is very enjoyable in that regard now when it comes to this potential purchase from microsoft do you have any concerns about the control of the app changing hands to a different company or an outright ban for that matter how is that going to affect the content creators. so the 2 main options that are present on say we're an hour then we should be a bummer because there are so many people who love the app to talk but also because there's content creators and i'm not even talking about the content creators like myself who have already kind of excuse the charlie that is thin and expand it beyond a lot of creators not yours but it's really not the small kind of the some of the just starting creators the budding creators who just you know last couple months were getting out runway they had moments of growing their audience and then it's going to be shut down to be terrible but also they have lost to a company like microsoft or a tech company at least i think you'd see

a receptive audience. community would be probably thankful that microsoft stepped in took a look at the security concerns and then the apple live but the other concern in that bucket is and you merged the 2 managements and cheap tick tock innovating to to grow that success even beyond what it is today that would be the question that we're facing but at the end to your initial point on the 1st question there which is if they happen to adjust the algorithm in some capacity and then they push the bigger tick-tock stars over people who may not be known that can create a problem for people trying to break through in the industry and i want to talk about those people because like you said you've diversified you have millions of followers across instagram you tube a tick tock and use not started but you were on vine when it was very popular but saw that kind of go away what or what do you kind of give it as far as help to other influencers who are just starting to build on take that what would you tell them to do as this whole situation is happening. well i always talk to other people

that i meet on the way on the same journey as i make sure you're diverse i'm your audience from the get go on the very beginning i mean not right away but once you have a decent 10000 or 100000 people calling you i met that community that really loves your stuff and find creative ways to get their e-mail contact and not because they're going to want to hear from you directly or there's a lot of services now that do text messaging but the goal is to have a direct connection to a small portion of your audience which is the most dedicated and loyal portion anyway and that's you know how it's already a little too late to do that now with a month left but that's something from the get go i think creators need to be thinking about how any platform you have on instagram facebook for you to you know how to direct connection years ago you know it was amazing reach and then when they put the paper on front of it you know now it was one percent of our audience must for the rest of the post so they had something you always had to think about in the

space and now it's to graham is officially launching their tick-tock competitor in more than 50 countries they actually watch that wednesday including the u.s. what do you make of this new platform and could this actually kill tick-tock while the app is in limbo as a lot of content creators might move to reals where they can actually make that that kind of impact of their. intersection of all this timing is fascinating to watch there's a lot against to talk and and with the timing of instagram reels coming out it could be another moment like you saw a snatch of how instruments swooped in perfect time did their version of stories and it was very successful because everyone you know when you hear there's concerns of privacy i mean your your tendency to be going back to you you already know and where the tension is in the past and if they have the same features i can be an easy transition but in this case i think you're also trying to replicate

a culture which you can't just do. with one feature there's other things that she is doing in terms of course we need constant creators even starting their fund to help monetize young creators that huge something that instagram still really has yet to do want to waiting for so i don't know if that. the new real speech or will just swoop in. that powerfully yet but i will tell it really well it depends i think that day it's a temper 1514 at the band if it actually happens then i think you'll see a lot of momentum behind reels and i guess for our audience who maybe doesn't understand content creators slash influencers quickly can you tell us how this monta zation works and how you guys are able to make money i mean not on your level maybe but on some of the smaller levels there. yeah i mean it's a really simple game play model with with brand so on you tube you have examples that rolls play the beginning of broadcaster middle and we'll get a piece of that 50 percent of the ad revenue for those ads but then the other stuff

is going out for brands that you're passionate about you know for me for example i'm really passionate lego i love creating he met it's imagined and that's what i want to partner with so take me for example partner with a company like lego and what brand deal looks like. a creative 16 2nd video in that case and that would be a piece of our monetization tick-tock of social media star zach and we hope to have you back thank you so much for your time today. and bash it for the time portable dot t.v. we'll see you next time. today to the south coast and illegal takeover of the government on this. group. so

rather than revolutionaries or soldiers small group thief. when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. these are sacrificing. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices for wealth in that world for well over the world and there's no question that the. thinking of getting your music on the. shelves no problem was he didn't know until he was

migration since the country voted to leave in 2016 as the conservative vote among its perhaps collapses i'll be joined by a former m.p. as well as polling guru professor john curtis. and also the some of the 90 percent of complaints of racial discrimination against the metropolitan police end up with no further action being taken. up in these figures no matter what metric you. do you will see a disproportionate of c. minorities are treated. the u.k. city of preston is the latest city to introduce local lockdown measures amid a surge in corona virus cases this comes as figures reveal the number of contacts reached by the government's test and trade system has fallen for 3 weeks in

a row or you can shut it was dusty is here with me. the studio with the latest so surely what is happening then in preston well preston council has told its residents to stop following the same restrictions as other areas in a localized lockdown sonoran off the huge spikes of 19 being detected within the area now in a way it's a decision to try and preempt a government one as the health secretary is meeting with medical experts and science professionals and any changes to lock downs in any regions will be confirmed as of tomorrow but preston council simply say they cannot wait until tomorrow as the figures really do speak for themselves in fact cases in preston almost doubled in the week leading up to july the 31st from 22 to 49 that's roughly 35 cases per 100000 people that also means that preston has now the 2nd highest number of cases in england just behind blocked by darwin who have 119 cases but

preston also saw a staggering 800 cases confirmed in just one day now all of this comes as a nightclub just reopened in the area last weekend it's actually the 1st across the united kingdom and despite the current climate on the expense of a hunch $180.00 pounds ticket prices $500.00 young people went to clubs which the venue claim to get legal advice before deciding to reopen but it's clear in all of these pictures and the footage you just saw that there's not really an attempt of social distancing there so all things considered then it looks like preston will become the latest region to go into a localised lock down it will then join other parts of northern england including east lancashire parts of west yorkshire and also greater manchester now want to national scale than the number of people that have been contacted after someone they know has been tested positive for 19 has drastically fallen in fact 72 percent of people who have been contacted were reached between the 23rd and the 29th. chuen

which is down from 76 percent the week before on a local level though things are looking slightly more positive 98 percent of contacts were reached by local health teams and instructed to go into quarantine but the online and core center approach wasn't as successful just over and over 56 percent of close contacts were told to i select now the government does maintain though it's still in line with the amounts of people they hope to be contacted have been contacted and they believe that the government has really dealt with local outbreaks rather well but it does feel like the united kingdom is happening towards a 2nd wave or 2nd spike of covert 19 if not in it or writing thank you for all of that. meanwhile the british parliament is investigating the long term impact of covert 19 on health single mother clare hasty gave details of

just some of the alarming aftereffects during a session with cross party committee of m.p.'s liz a question as to whether if we had had oxygen with michael to join the boat or to who are now experiencing things before he goes there's also wanted to make sure and this is not a linear recovery i'm sure. it's not says and limits but not only that you can do quite a long. way down the line so i'm 20 weeks yesterday much of gould's and got people in our group the same but it is so many signs new the doctor who posted 2 days ago to say should not take these you know that's temporary or permanent or what schools that we have someone so people posting yesterday and so no one has to go to incontinence at 20 weeks so the units in all of their carpets because they can't get to the toilet mrs dyckman who are hard months down the line. claire hastie started a facebook group for long term sufferers like yourself which has since attracted

over 15000 members many sufferers say they are unable to complete everyday tasks since their covert 19 infection and face financial difficulties due to an inability to work the committee was told about other serious symptoms that have been reported including mini strokes and blood clots suffers according on the government to recognize a suffering as an official disability and offer support i'm now joined by scott dixon who has been suffering from coronavirus symptoms for over 4 months now scott thank you very much for being with us now tell us what have you been experiencing then since you were diagnosed with this well i fell ill her middle of march when space of 2 weeks lost about 10 pounds in weight in as many days not since but lives . it's been a hassle recovery since and what i'm left with now is just going economics and course byron's bits. and just general malaise and to give me an example certainly i'll wash that car. since before march and something that would not

be an hour 6 twice as long. as that yes they just went out with it and it people and many people like yourself are unable to work what's your situation on the same. plan for jobs number in between jobs at the moment and i am left wondering how he'll settle down in full same job given where you are because in the mall and suffield fine and then. minutes to late afternoon just such a chilly fruit and an orange suit because i'm just completely wiped out and thanks to his efforts to find it reassuring to hear that you're not the only one yet i mean it is reassuring to know that you're not alone and it's such a wide range of symptoms that everyone's face with and at once alone mystical long and our research the heart and if is. you appointment been given light exercises to do. you hear it it's just difficult to manage and to deal with it looks

like the issue is being taken seriously is now being discussed in a parliamentary committee does that bring you any comfort at all not really because any chestnuts devolved in scotland saw whatever they do in imminent wales be a separate development to what they do in scotland and there's no cohesive or joined up approach that there was but what about suffers long term sufferers like yourself you should be supported should you not do you think you will be i don't think saw that for the n.h.s. it was they've done the best it can a forever play catchup with a disease that they knew nothing about 6 months ago so look i mean i've been left to me on the basis of until most recently i was discharged and of marching in a vehicle going to block our home and there was no patient chances and it's not as if the there were caught on the whole with this. the n.h.s.

and you know the government knew it was common and there was no nor nothing put in place no patient transfers and yeah i had to get a block of home and i couldn't explain to the taxi driver that i had coronavirus because he you know it would have carried me to a chair much illegal and obscene then the taxi drivers for not aware that they were carrying coronavirus patients that i saw your trenchant all handles and everything else and you do think though that the government is doing enough because there are still people who don't believe the mars as a respite and don't wear face masks people who break the social business rules it must be very frustrating for you should the government be doing more to tackle this yet i believe so and the government are more focused on getting people to go out and socialise and spend money rather than actually am. paying more attention to the virus itself and those the long term suffer as. i'm very wary about going out

because up whole court at once and wouldn't touch it again and it's very stealthy should people to refuse to wear face masks and that nobody stated seriously and we are faced with a 2nd wave and i do wonder you know whether one believes the call will be from the outset the way we should have don't help where we're going to be left with and just scott finally if e.u. everyday life dealing with the symptoms what about your doctor can they not help you in any way in trying to alleviate other areas of your symptoms that are actually getting better if you have any hope that you will eventually get back to your normal self well the good to me g.p. recently because the some promise with me legs only check for blood clots and never e-mails. it just referred me to the call that helpline. been put on to treat it as you ferebee treatment program. you do grieve for the life that you but you once

heart. try to fall ill know all underlying health issues i was able to walk 8 miles a day no promise or now i would struggle to walk a few 100 yards without arms for rest and it's something i have covered in a book that a question on some titled undamaged my story only comes in 8 weeks on from just 4 on just before for no so where is the end of me and yes i do wonder if i'll ever fully recover from mission and i can only hope so well scott we wish you the very best of luck with us our thoughts are with you thank you for joining us live very yes thank you scott dixon thank you. lebanon is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 137 people and injured 5000 some residents are still missing and local authorities say the number of dead and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble to. such force of and as to give an idea of these scandals the disaster here

of such a law images of the area before an oath to last also run the buildings were leveled by the shock waves which reportedly felt as far as sun press the explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city local journalist reports on help people in beirut are coping with the tragedy beta with one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. here in the in. the you.

are and. this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of which are for internationally known brands today it is covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion the disaster that happened to beirut it's. just to be like. a front of people full of lives and the situation i am in the end of the town do everything got destroyed or this is the 2nd time in history that the road has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like boot i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and the one of the most important places for shopping at. leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have

a lot of historic importance they are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many of them was destroyed lebanon has you have billeted to these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need to habitation all over again. this isn't the beirut we know beirut is the middle east which is heartbreaking to see the all the buildings being damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war is yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of empty government on the west the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby with has to find yet another way to rise from beneath his. still to come on all to hold on to the falls the racism complaints against the metropolitan police have resulted in the reaction

we hear from a former chief superintendent. the brain drain continues as the e.u. sees a boom in ukraine like ration since the country's votes to leave in 2016 ounces the conservative vote among ex-pats collapses i'll be joined by brick city a former m.v.p. one of the polling guru professor because his. summer solution where every summer we look at solutions from all the problems a car on every other month of the year now today recovering to globalization the dollar is asian and trying to fit cation process which is game speed under trump but what has set in motion really on december 11th 22001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris fenton author of beating

the dragon. a more robust morals would be one in which we move business as usual but guess what. we prepared for carbines. time as a lot cheaper it reduced mobility you know the jury is a lot cheaper than having. the number of britons leaving the u.k. and taking up residency in e.u. countries is soared since the vote to leave the bloc in 2016 according to a joint report by researchers in oxford in berlin all of

a report on the latest brain drain. bragg's it was always going to come with consequences and amid talk of taking back control and sunlit uplands the head freedom of movement the right to live and work in 27 of the nations is being taken away from u.k. citizens now that's prompted is a huge up take in british people seeking a new home and the new passport in mainland europe these increases in numbers are of a magnitude that you would expect when a country is hit by a major economic or political crisis another important finding from the empirical evidence associated with bragg's it is reduced levels of consideration and level headedness in decision making with increases in levels of impulsiveness spontaneity and corresponding risk taking spain has seen the highest jump in migration figures with british people applying for residency jumping 5 fold in the period between 20

sixteen's vote and 28 in france a 2nd where pray it's a break that around 500 u.k. citizens a year were registering as migrants that figure is now closer to 5000 here in germany just 622 u.k. citizens applied for geale nationality in 2015 last year that number was over 30000 with the estimate suggesting it's around hof of the 120000 or so british citizens in germany will apply for a passport by the end of this year migrants from the u.k. on the whole have high levels of skills and education in germany british migrants are amongst the highest earners behind those from austria and the united states a u.k. brain drain to the continent may well be one of the consequences of breaks that as people look to hold on to their earning potential and also maintain their ability to live and work in e.u.

member states peter all of a. but is brett it really responsible for this supposed brain drain i'm now joined by brick satiric former independent m.e.p. for the west midlands andrew kirkwood to see it's all your clothes in it order for people to deserted us in droves well i don't think so aren't we let's see a number of people who are already living in shit say germany or france and spain want to root continue residing there it's natural for them to apply for you know the appropriate passport but yes it was a very divisive in the whole of the press it and people feel very very aggrieved i'm terribly sorry but i do hold partly responsible the b.b.c. because many tell there was not a balanced and fair debate and that and i did predict shortly after that folk are scared that the country could remain divided for 10 or 15 years afterwards but people just to simply to want to be here now thanks no matter what you say is the

reason people just want to get out of britain now that's particularly damaging isn't it when we're going to lose some very talented people accept that those that do try to leave the are not actually already resident in the u.k. will give greater opportunity to our existing township people but let's also look at where they're going you're talking to 1st place barrie or sprains got 30 percent youth unemployment compared to ours it just 12 secondly going to france youth unemployment 1920 percent riots going on you know pretty regular well you know don't get wrong anyone who wishes to leave i wish them the very best and they're always welcome back but we make these people who are going to jobs themselves very clever people talented people emigrating and we need them here to kick start the economy post gave it at a cost post brett said yeah but then again look a healthy immigration and healthy immigration is always good and. maybe fact those

are really determined to lease and because they think it's better in france and spain maybe they should go and have a nice quote where with all the potentially illegal immigrants seeking to come over from france and explain look boys before paragraphs there in france it's not so hot in the u.k. in there if they get that well they'd be doing us a favor what about the h.q. his company's headquarters company's capacity moving abroad that is that is going to be damaging to the economy not quite right but you know no one can say with certainty how we will do it but if you got to look at some of the the best experts from abroad those looking more from an intolerable view like the chief economist of the bundesbank who say even without a deal britain has it in its in its natural interests to do better but what it really thin edge that will do more damage is a deal with the e.u.

that constrained us and so really no i think we have you know the reason why we call great britain is a great country i'm passionately supporting it are not anti european by any stretch of imagination and traded in europe and continue to do so but i also have to bear in mind what on sleep what price would you put to being democratic and controlling your own laws and regulations there has to be a price you put on that as some of the poor people we're seeing in china they don't have any the rights that you and i have to leave so i think we should make take a balanced view and thank you very much indeed for joining us live here in r.t. . thank. you want to seem pretty voters resident overseas have a swayed away from the conservative party in the year after the break to vote there's currently a time limit on voting rights of 15 years which the prime minister was expected to ditch the research throws that prospect into dealt just 6.2 percent. the brits and

the e.u. voted tory in december election that's down by 2 thirds from the 2015 election where 19.4 percent voted conservative decades back in 1902 over 60 percent voted for john major's party one man who knows a thing or 2 about voting intentions is polling expert professor john curtis joining me now live so john thank you for being with us now is bricks it to blame here the ex-pat vote was staunchly tory wasn't it. well such as it was it was felt to be widely tory the allowing the overseas dances to was 1st and lamented popular 19 eighties and frankly for a long time most of them just didn't bother we hada around 10000 or so people which city votes in the late eighty's early 99 just place he's a bit difficult because it had to be done but 1st accept rick santorum most of them frankly probably have lost connection with the ok but yes amongst those who had

registered its full base the research was done hundreds or action that the appropriate only conservative and certainly that was the assumption on both sides to provide so little party tended to be dislike not allowing overseas voters devoted to their rights for a lot of conservative parts and who are the keynote it what's interesting about this research done at the some such university is in a sense it's cost a whole fresh new light on this subject in the wake of grex and now actually it shows that even before britain is implemented but in an election of which the conservative party was clueless in a referendum when grex is only around 20 percent of the overseas voters 30 for the conservatives now so he's done 6 points well of course you have to remember as your previous item has reminded us no groups lives are affected more by our decision to leave their opinion than the rights of those british citizens who have taken up freedom of movement in order to live and in some cases work inside their

opinion and it's not surprising that again courts recessed policemen is 95 percent of those people who are on living implodes and who in the wake of the referendum did not start to get some of it said about a quarter many of them when they were just a by the time of the 316 referendum that they do the overwhelmingly were in favor of it remain and the truth is this is one of many examples. the way in which the character of support for the conservative party has been changed as a result of bret's what we once thought office the polity that represented middle class much if not fluent voters those days are over a month domestic but is this party now it does just as well amongst those who are less well off because this is a party that's a whole that's now defined by its support amongst those who are opposed to britain 0 period membership change the domestic character of conservative for the records

of this percentage is also at a pretty dramatic impacts on the participants here to win over voters most sees as well boris johnson was going to abolish the time limit on voting the fact that so many seem to want to vote for other parties might mean they need to choose that particular plan well certainly shall we say it was always argued when this was science introduced that it was it was introduced by the conservatives in the belief that it was in their every natural interest i guess however is the policy really just believe the argument that those living or people should retain their rights to vote for life and at the moment if you can only do so if you've not been away from the u.k. through more than 15 years if they can survive to please us and well as a point of principle then presumably it will consume your to progress this idea if it doesn't of course then this it will allow some cynics to suggest that maybe actually they original idea was that tree motivated in the 1st place just a final thought we touched on the so-called brain trying to lead from the former any pandered as it doesn't really matter but it is happening and breaks in the

cause of that in your opinion well 2 things probably going on that but insofar as people are leaving when the point is if you are going to leave it out it came to in order to live in spain or france or wherever you need to get on with it by the end of this year because they're after the right to do so i also magically would it disappear by the 2nd thing yes it is going on and on and surprising it is that people who are already living in germany or france or wherever wanting to wage. sure that there are lives lost their lives there remain secure are decided to take the part that says it will also fire some of the e.u. citizens that are now living inside your cable could be also be looking at your case it's your in order to ensure their rights to consumers literally aren't it's europe so john curtis thank you very much indeed for talking to us life. thousands of complaints of racial discrimination against metropolitan police officers have resulted in no further action they have almost been 3000 complaints since 2015

a freedom of information request has revealed 93 percent of these led to no further action being taken 70 complaints did result in formal action against an officer and 68 prompted management action meaning officers were giving advice on conduct and the police have responded saying they take all racism allegations extremely seriously a former metropolitan chief superintendent dull babu told me earlier that the latest figures simply reflect what many bayne people already known. way 3 very worrying and i think we've seen this time of black lives matter movements across the world so people are asking there's a much more scrutiny around issues around race and the police are at the forefront of it so i think this is a one to systemic problem in the u.k. around the representation the weight minorities a treaty to a whole range of different organizations within the u.k. but of course it can be said it could be said that there was an investigation and

nothing was found. but. you could say that but 90 percent it seems incredibly or 93 percent seems an incredible acquittal rate so i think i think what we need to look at is and the statistics show that there will probably be more complaints this year than they have been in previous years so we really need to make sure that we're dealing with these issues properly that we're learning from them has a society and the police in particular and that we have a system where they community have confidence in the police i think these figures no matter what metric you use bill you will see a disproportional say no have minorities are treated so you're more likely 4 to 6 times more likely stuffed if you're a minority in the police across the whole of the country in terms of police officer this is internal that make up 7 percent of the police service but make up 233 percent of all discipline hearings so whether it's internal or external there is

significant concerns about have minorities are treated wouldn't police service that's it for the moment more news in half an hour. going.

i am back thighs are this this guy's report summer so loose ends where every summer we look at solutions of all the problems they cover on every other month of the year now so they are recovering to globalization the valorization the china for cation process which is game speed under trump but what has set in motion really on a summer 112002001 when china became member of the world trade organization time that attorney chris fenton author of beating the dragon the stacey chris fenton welcome to the kaiser report summer solutions you know we wanted to talk to you because this obviously this process that is now being called the china for cation is in full swing so to set this up in way you might be able to talk about and add

to this conversation is you know you were basically an informal diplomat you were working you were traveling to china you were working in bringing the united states you know especially the entertainment industry and sports industry to china and vice versa so you were a bull on that relationship where did that turn you're no longer a bull on that situation you're more of a hawk why well 1st of all thanks for having me back it's always an honor you know the show and just to address that when joe beats you know mention that max just made 1st things 1st let's call china a developed country at this point and have them follow those rules rather than a nation rules that would be a very easy fix to a lot of things that we need to address. if we're looking at a step approach that's a great 1st step how did i change my outlook on on chimey last summer i was on the

show we were pre-code it obviously. you know my my. yes obviously started around october of last year when i got back from the last congressional delegation trip and i co-hosted with 3 house members when daryl morey sent out that tweet in support of the hong kong protesters it was an interesting moments for me because i saw that becoming a very big issue for the n.b.a. in china and of course me as as you mentioned being a role in regards to a commercial and cultural exchange between the 2 countries i thought oh my god that's going to hurt the n.b.a. in china and that's a big deal and oh my gosh that's the thing that we should prioritize i know what i didn't realize was that it was going to wake up the united states of america and all people including myself to the fact that we have been pandering to the c.c.p. way way too much in this after of pushing the mission of rampant globalism and then

since that moment i've really been studying and in fact they implemented quite a bit of it into the book in regards to how has this affected the health of america overall global health aso but the health of americans and it's so obvious to me now looking back at this mission of rampant globalism open up china for our products and services at any cost because that's in the past welfare of the united states citizens turned out not to be so good so over time since that tweet we've seen the han khan situation go into a place where i don't think any of us imagined a year ago it was going to go which was a good 27 years left on this agreement that we made with the brits but you know what who cares let's just take it over now to things like the covert response

a lot of the rhetoric between the 2 countries the issues. between the n.b.a. and various other situations the houston consulate situation which now has been retaliated against in china with the change you consulate for the u.s. it's on mask into a situation where i'm way more hawkish against china than i've ever been and i'm still trying to formulate exactly how to process this all as are many people in this country and our leaders the way you state the case they're pretty have a lot of detail what's curious to me a. relationship between the u.s. and china has always been described as symbiotic we have sent them our jobs and they sent us back these cheap goods and that's the quid pro quo and that's been the story and so suddenly. when coven heads

exposes that america has no ability even to manufacture mass that all that manufacturing capabilities in china well that's that's been the deal now for you know a sense they got into the w t l that was the deal like. if i were china i be looking at america and saying what up bro i mean that was the deal why you complaining now you know so why are we complaining now pressed and by the way the deal goes back even farther than just the dead beats you know do you know i mean you can argue with 979 it really started and then it got steam probably around 1990 or so why it's a big deal is because we've actually been and i hate using this word we've been look to the problem and unfortunately sometimes you gotta get it now head really hard to know that somebody on the other side of that this is not your friend and that's a big issue and now we have the supply chain issue sick-o.

of it brought up in the fact way frankly and you guys talk about it all the. time in the show me 95 percent of this country has been left behind in this system that we have right now we have lost a lot of middle class jobs we have lost a lot of media fracturing base and all in a lot of that has to do with how we treated china over the past 30 years so we have a very entanglement and we need to untangle and decouple fully in a lot of ways yet i also argue and i've had some op eds about this recently and real clear politics in the federalist etc there are non decoupling situations that are america 1st and some of those i'm still hardly making a hard argument for of course back in 1999 we had robert lee hisor who is donald trump's sec the trade representative and he was very vocal and the new york times and everything lambaste and all of the leaders of america saying they don't

know what they're getting into by shipping are that all of our jobs are going to be shipped to china he was right biden was also wrong back in 2000 when he was confronted in congress by a progressive senator who said that the rise of china would result in the loss of all u.s. manufacturing jobs and biden said he did not view a collapse of the american manufacturing economy if china a nation with the impact on the world economy about the size of the netherlands had suddenly become a major competitor the u.s. so he was wrong as well bill barr just in the past few weeks he said that he accused china of an economic blitzkrieg and aggressive orchestrating the whole of government indeed whole of society campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the united states as the world's preeminent superpower so my question to you is to me it sounds like a sore loser and that this was just a through cities trap that many including as i said robert like hisor ross perot of

course they all warned of this at the time when we were planning on. basically elevating china to the w t o because before that they were on the most favored nation status in every single year we had to read knew that in the congress and it became very political so in order to overcome that we pushed them into the w.c. oh so is this just that they said it the strap was this and now but it will and what do you think of what bill barr the attorney general of the united states said . well i i try to be nonpartisan in this issue because it takes red and blue to get together in a dress this challenge that china owes is against the nation but i'm going to 100 percent agree with what are said the other day in the tactics of trumping ministration and our light hisor navarro have used in order to achieve dress the situation i think probably could use fine tuning and i don't have the answers exactly on how do you doubt but i think there is across this there that hopefully as a nation we figure out but the fact that they have alarmed us all to what this problem

is is the best thing that has happened for this country now in regards to buy in and a lot of the people that were very pro what we were doing over the past 30 years i have to admit i 100 percent was too i'm 100 percent complicit quite frankly in being a part of why our hollywood exchange with china has been commandeered by their local film industry so that they're making best in class type of productions that are now catering come completely to their audience and shutting out hollywood movies in regards to market share there and that's just one small microcosm but i was guilty of helping them learn our process understand the value of ip develop ip and a script you know utilizing their artists so that if you get caught up to speed you know what we're doing in hollywood and helping them get involved with hollywood i

feel terrible about it in a lot of ways and i feel very strong about this mission that we have to address to china as a nation there are ways to do it that will benefit america both in the short term and long term but it's going to be very disruptive and it's going to be something that we all have to agree on together yeah you know. for years they've been saying that they relationship with. china in america here is the americans have been willing to take lower wages in exchange for cheaper goods and that the quality of their life has been according to many americans improving because the cost of a widescreen t.v. has gotten dirt cheap the cost of textiles is dirt cheap i mean this is this is a bargain american made i mean the book is great you're great thanks for being on the show but i'm not buying this argument that suddenly you know we got a wake up to the fact that china's a predatory here because the u.s. the predatory in the u.s.

economy that that are pretty dangerous on their own citizens vs the v the banks and everything else that goes on in finance they do that with china too so why don't we go after our leaders in washington d.c. they who've been printed saying print predations on america for 30 or 40 years that's where the problem is china just want to compete why are we saying ok we're the comp competitor they just want to compete so what what about washington. well i look you're 100 percent right and as much as i'm not partisan this issue i see really i would steve and i've been on his show a bunch of times and he believes in the 4th tourney which he thought should have happened in 2008 which is that resat that the financial crisis shouldn't have had happened well you've talked about the financial as a share of essentially the global economy and how i guess you should say metres agitating nat as

a main directive you know and just in simple sort of examples the fact that we allow chinese companies access to our capital markets while still beholden to the state secret laws because they're part of these s. so we s. so they don't have to apply county practices that we apply to our own companies is ridiculous right so i do think we're seen whether it's because of grandstanding or real action agendas whatever it is to me it doesn't matter the country is woke to it the right side of the aisle in particular wants to do something about it or has a least causing enough awam subpoena or getting more action impacted into it but it's going to take time and yes i agree i mean i can give you one example i house member i sat down with in a very red state said you guys need to deal with china in a way that starts addressing some of the problems for my middle class constituents

but he's like i cannot say that public publicly because those very constituents love going to wal-mart and buying very cheap products and that goes right into what you are same or a president that author of feeding the dragon oh wow what a timely book we're going to talk more with chris right after this break don't go away. the mc maxwell soggy is one of the most sensational stories of our time however media coverage appears to be limited to learning details and political overtones the single biggest question that needs to be answered is how all of this could have happened where was long for spin and will justice be finally sir.

a short time ago an american air play run by hiroshima. standing up. to go. on until and you don't know the answer to its. i like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather 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 there was american poor planning in october 145 had chosen 20 targets and russia.

welcome back to thick ice to report imax has had this of course is our summer solutions and we're talking today with chris fenton he's the author of feeding the dragon i wonder in this book in washington and hollywood in new york it's really a timely book and it's all about what's happening really could describe it as a new cold war between china and america that escalated quickly gus i'm so old i remember when 2 countries are trying to walk through it all kinds of trade agreements phase 12 and 3 it was all going to be jolly good you know chris i look at a company like apple computer and i'm wondering you know. that's worth $1.00 trillion or so it's in hell than everyone's pension account everyone's made hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars with this company it's the biggest company in the world and it's all based on chinese slave labor we've known that for

a decade and to decades they put nets outside the factories because kids jump out the trying to kill themselves we've know we've known this this is not a shock right so if this is going to break up and it's a cold war and these 2 countries are going to go head to head apple's not going to be the same company that they're going to have a massive downgrade and that's a trillion dollars of wealth going to go back for a pretty quickly chris are we ready to do that well it's funny i i i wrote an op ed for the federalist while a couple months ago about how we need to stop using the stock market index. or it's in regards to the overall economic health of the country and the reason i wrote that op ed is eco's i feel like we've done a lot of orchy in regards to what we wanted you to express to china challenge but we haven't done a i.e.d. and the reason why we haven't done a real swarts is because every time we do the stock markets go into

a free fall i remember in back when. i was in hong kong in late august there was a tweet that donald trump put out about how he was ordering all american companies to remove their operations in china the markets dropped i think 800 or 900 points of mediately just prior to the close that day and then over the weekend the result of this crazy sort of information spreading around whether events in or not and he was over in spain at that time expander and then alternately we backtracked in all the stock markets recover and actually then some because it sounded like we were going to move into a more dovish fix you a china i my argument is we have to get into sort of a warm were time mentality when we got pulled into world war 2 the markets really were disrupted they went down no one paid attention to the markets we paid attention to how we were going to address the enemies out there how we were in

address the national security interests of the country and the welfare of our citizens and as we started to address those and as we started to win small victories and markets did start to come back and by the end of the war obviously the markets floor back my point is like if we try to address china by really implementing things that we need to do we need to do it across all industries across all companies and we need to address shareholder and investor interests too because they are the pressure points for all the c. suites of all these companies and all these industries if we have real rules of engagement that prioritize american health in american national security yes markets are going to get deeply impacted i mean just moving supply chains back over here the ones that are strictly for national security interest forget apple stuff or t. shirts from nike bringing back pharmaceuticals that's going to cause

a major disruption with pharmaceutical sukkot companies share prices we have to be ready you it's. arrest that destruction and be ok with it because the victories are not going to be marked by stock market prices they're going to be marked by victories that are on behalf of the american oh well let's talk about a war because of course in america we're seeing opioid overdoses and suicides that are mount to a vietnam every year of vietnam war every year last year we had $71000.00 opioid overdoses the year before it was 68000. u.s. mortality rates are going up the life expectancy is going down for those american men primarily who used to have jobs at these factories so you know this really set in motion in 1080 is when china got most favored nation status with the united states it was under reagan and that social contract that we've had you know post

world war 2 up until that moment was you know the american worker at the american middle class the american dream it was all about that not capital and then since 1980 s. been all about capital and and part of the primacy of capital has been destroying the rights of workers and laborers and the right to dignity and in a meaningful job in a life so like how do we rewrite that social contract how do we because that's going to have to happen that that conversation has to happen between capital and workers for these jobs to be brought back here. yeah 100 percent does and one of the issues that i have is when. the titians grandstand say hey look bron james you need to take a stand for the high income protestors or disney you need to take a stand for the hong kong protesters yeah quite frankly they do but the thing is if they do it they lose all their business in china and it's own whack a mole situation look beyond gets replaced by the next basketball player that can

take his spots and his indorsements disney loses their spot loses their theme park and universal comes in and takes over so unless we do it industry wide company wide since citizen wide and say this is what will tolerate is let's face it there are things will tolerate censoring our content when it goes into that country and inside their borders we will tolerate i'm ok with that why because middle east countries do that japan does that korea does that that's something that we seem to be ok with but telling us how to censor our speech and our content outside of their borders that is on it that is not tolerable and we need to change that but we can only do it all or industries and all are companies have the same rules for the road and yes it's going to disrupt markets it's going to disrupt their earnings it's going to disrupt revenues but when we come out the back side of it will be much healthier and one more point is we need to figure it out as

a country here 1st what half because i don't want to see disney replaced by telling munchen in germany or by studio canal in france or by bollywood we need to approach this together so it's not a whack a mole on a global basis yeah right coronated response sure you know big problem saying today that america has a really bad a but i mean by that is after $911.00 they bombed iraq. now during this crisis with china the d.n.c. for example is attacking russia right so somebody is a give somebody some new pride laughs or an eye test or something to improve their end because they don't can't seem to find which countries which on a global map that seems to be a basic problem geography number one number 2 we like what china is doing with the 5 g. technology and artificial intelligence that are already what a path america at this point beyond what america is going to catch up to you know

should we like we do with climate change where we say you know what it's too late we just have to get used to it maybe that goes to the main thing is to say you know it's too late china's going to be the superpower we're no longer a superpower let's get used to it maybe that's the humane thing to do chris well there is something to be said to be drafting off the lead you can actually gain a lot of footing and not situation and also save a lot of energy and it was and i'm better you know places i do think saying something nice that from any of our leaders is probably a death sentence in regards to any sort of political career. but i would say that's not a terrible idea but let's pretend like that's way far fetched more far fetched than everybody unifying and figuring out how to tackle this challenge i do think. we have a real issue that needs to bring to light the fact that the republicans are

on the case the democrats which it has been very frustrating to me and obviously i come from a very democratic base area a country ollywood in the industry i'm in it has been frustrating that they haven't jumped into it in fact i want to be on democrat platforms talking about this but they're not even mentioning the word china on c.n.n. or on m.s.n. b.c. or any of the left leaning programs we need to start at and i know they're. obviously nervous about jumping into the china for a because it's going to be hard for a look as hawkish as trump but regardless of who wins at least we get both parties thinking about this and hopefully we can find some venn diagram you know overlap where we can actually tackle the challenge together while they fight about all kinds of other things that have nothing to do with china you know the last few moments here let's talk a little bit more about some solutions like you did mention their whole developed they're developing nations they have us and they have that in the w.c.

which means they get to apply tariffs to our goods we don't get to apply them to there is obviously that should go because we have friends that live in china and they say like coming here is like coming to the developing nation versus them being a massively developed what do you think of that. yeah i know 100 percent i mean it's a it's a crazy situation i get why it was in you know regionally enacted because we did similar things when we were coming into our own industrial revolution to try to catch up to the european nations but now that they're caught up in fact this max is there even have asked us and various banks enough's enough let's put them on the same playing field as it were at the scene accounting practices plain you know i mean let's just simply start with those i mean red or blue how does anybody disagree with that i get the fact that that means j.p.n. and goldman sachs and morgan stanley won't have as much action taking nice as so we

used public on the exchanges but come on guys we're all party in united states of america we need to think about what's good for this country and good for the people it can't always be about just churning insure earning insurance more money i mean not enough enough lake wispy smarts right well remember when britain had a similar situation of china they started out with came out of the opium wars right they got chinese sucked on opium and as a way to get them to buy stuff from britain because they were playing the game the way britain wanted it now china has returned the favor i got america hooked on really cheap goods like this big screen t.v. isn't cheap textiles so we're hooked we're we're strung out you know americans are basically you know out on crack so where do they find that problem and figure out how to get an american to do an honest based up the situation is that going to get any better chris but anyway thanks so much for being on the path report about summer solutions. well i hope we came up with some solutions and i really appreciate you having me on and i hope

a lot of your audience goes out buys the book because i think it's a really fun entertaining story there that hopefully engages them in just something that's on the read but there's a lot of great lessons and it's sort of walks through how we got to this point and also talks about what we might want to do you address you know moving forward so thank you again and that's it for this episode of kaiser report summer of solo shows up they max kaiser and stacy ever again thanks to our guest chris fenton the book is feeding the dragon trying to get in touch with us on twitter at kaiser report intellects time by.

as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is that we're not financially quantity and i'm not comfortable housing or living minimum wage believe many people need choice. that's been a problem with the city and always turn. away i've always. considered that there is no answer because you have to requires resources the most vulnerable

are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible clerks. welcome to our viewers from around the world live from central london this is all to u.k. . britain's local lock downs continue with preston the unique city facing restrictions after a spike in the number of 19 cases that says the government's testin trade scheme sees a fall the number of close contacts being reached for a 3rd consecutive week i'll be joined by a tech expert shortly. the long term impact of growth of ours is laid bare with sufferers reporting severe debilitating systems symptoms i should say we hear from a survivor. the lebanese couple is slowly reviving off to being stung by a deadly explosion in the port of beirut with residents taking to the streets to help clean up after. the british brain drain the e.u. sees a plume in u.k.

migration since the country voted to leave in 26 states that says the conservative vote among ex-pats collapses i'll be joined by former m.e.p. as well as paul professor john curtis. and also there's more than 90 percent of complaints of racial discrimination against the metropolitan police end up with no further action being taken. the u.k. city of preston is the latest city to introduce a local law measures amid a surge in corona virus cases this comes as figures reveal the number of contacts reached by the government's test and treat system has followed for 3 weeks in a row or you can use shout it was dusty is here with me in the studio with the latest on this so shall you 1st see what's happened then in person well press and council has now told its residents to stop following the same restrictions as other

areas in local lockdowns to 2 huge spike in cases of the infection now and it's in a way it's a decision to try and preempt a government one as not tank the health secretary is meeting with medical and science professionals to deal with local outbreaks and it's suggested that it will be confound whether or not they would have put press into a local lockdown as of tomorrow but press accounts of say they can't wait for tomorrow because the figures seem to speak for themselves so the cases have almost doubled in preston in the weeks leading up to july 31st from 22 cases to 49 that's roughly 35 cases per 100000 people meaning that presta now has the 2nd highest number of cases in england just behind black and darwin who now have 119 cases but presence or a stocker 18 cases confirmed in just one day now this comes as a nightclub just reopened in the area last weekend the 1st in the united kingdom

and despite the current climate an expensive tickets of 180 pounds a pop 500 people went to the club switched now the venue came to get the advice before deciding to reopen but in these pictures it's clear to see there's no real attempt at social distancing so all things considered and. like preston will become the latest region to go into lockdown it will join other parts of northern england including east lancashire parts of west yorkshire and greater manchester now on a national scale than the number of people contacted after day after someone they know has tested positive for 19 has fallen drastically 72 percent of people have been contacted were reached between the 23rd and 29th of june which is down from 76 percent the week before on a local level though things are looking slightly more positive 98 percent of contacts were reached by local health teams and instructed to quarantine but the

online and call center approach wasn't as successful just a little over 56 percent of close contacts were told to isolate now the government maintains that all of this is still in line with the amount that they had hoped and they said that they're dealing with local outbreaks rather well but of course we are now happening towards a 2nd wave a 2nd spike of covert 19 if not where anyone over to thank you very much indeed for all of that while the governments test and trace systems still failing to contact many thousands of people there's still no sign of the promise tracking up to discuss this i'm not joined by the chair of the cyber security research institute peter warren peter thank you for being with us how vital is this promise that. since you're really if you want any degree of control or you do if you want to be able to reopen the coach through you good to talk to the insurgents you go 'd to.

war what 'd you need to do very quickly. you very response you say is essential but still no sign of. you know the problem with this is that one it was a very difficult thing to do and 2 the government says well according to many of the people that we've spoken to the government really got off on their own foot because it tried to introduce something that looked to all intents and purposes as though it was the night the college that the n.h.s. sold the basis for an id card for the n.h.s. because they wanted to bring the dates are in centrally and they wanted to hold on to the $32.00 per level targets much of the people were saying the thing needed to if they did go in for the alternative system which has been effectively used in other parts of europe the system is based on a boom boom where the dates it tended to actually reside on your own phone it was

distributed to you then they would have probably been ok i mean in the opinion of many of the people that we've spoken to the government has lost a unique opportunity to build trust between the put the nation at large between the british public and the government itself in an endeavor which would have been seen to be in everybody's to turn and then to regain the trust. yeah i think so because you've seen something that looks like a failure in despite the press conference the other harding gave where she said that the government's work was going to be put on trial over the systems of being developed by a pollutant going to go and she said that was going to be the cherry on the cake yeah i mean it's instinct seeing that the government has not been competent and also the government's initiative in the 1st place was so heavily criticized you

know people have lost enthusiasm there was actually a moment that they could have taken advantage of and they lost though which is some people would be enthusiastic to to take this up if they believed in it and trusted in it would then not be an issue that she were mine on the public to use it. well the public would have used to write to me early so you can see from what you've been saying in your the beginning of your bullets and particularly among young people there is a tremendous sort of studying for knocking and the breaking of the various different bands keep some going on. so at the beginning there was that opportunity there was the good will there was also a lot of fear and there would have been a cooperation now it's pretty obvious that that lack of co-operative or that cooperation change children's broken we have seen local councils doing the running

tracking rather than relying on the government but what do you make of that. i think that's probably a myth an initiative that you will continue to see one of the things that has happened in the past has been there has been tremendous the 2nd is faction that some of the government's big projects so for example the home office were meant to put in a new to make the fingerprint system the they took so long to do so with the police themselves actually started up their own system and went with the government so i can see the local councils and so on the minute we won so we want to get some businesses going and we think that we can actually cope with its own in a smaller basis than them having the system that the government wants so he shouldn't be beyond the capability of a modern high tech nation pay to have very interesting to talk tennis thank you

very much for joining us live here not a pretty one. meanwhile the british parliament is best to get in the long term impact of covered 19 on health single mother claire hasty gave details of just some of the a mom ink after effects during a session with a cross party committee of unpaid. well there's a question as to whether if we had had oxygen earlier whatever might of been about whatever we're now experiencing one thing of before you go is that it's also meant to to make the point that this is not a linear recovery i'm sure coming on and it's relapses and limits but not only that you can develop quite a long symptoms way down the line so i'm 20 weeks yesterday middle of march and caught it got people in our group the same but at the same and finds me the doctor who posted 2 days ago to say she's not provision if you take it you know that's temporary or permanent or what's it we had someone to several people posting yesterday to say there's only one house to vote incontinence at 20 weeks so they

urinate in all of their carpets because they can't get to the toilet and this is developing for a half months a woman down the line claire hastie started a facebook group for long term sufferers like herself which since attracted over $15000.00 members many sufferers say they are unable to complete everyday tasks since their coven 19 infection faced financial difficulties due to an inability to work the committee was told about other serious symptoms that had been reported in clearing many strokes and blood clots sufferers are calling on the government to recognize their suffering as an official disability and of a support well i was joined by scott dixon who has been suffering with current of our symptoms for over 4 months now he elaborated on some of his own experiences. but i felt well her middlemarch and when the space of 2 weeks lost about 10 pounds in weight and it's many it is nonsense but lives. it's been a hassle recovery sense and what i'm left with now is just going economics and

course byron's bits. and just general malaise and to give an example of suddenly i washed the car for the 1st sentence before a fellow in march and something that would not be sitting in our some 6 trains want to spend most of yesterday and bashed just wiped out with it and it people and many people like yourself are unable to work what's your situation. the same i mean apply for jobs number in between jobs at the moment and i am left wondering how he'll settle down in full same job in the way i am because in the mall and suffield fine and then. i may just solidified at noon on just such a chilly air for an hour or so because i'm just completely wiped out and thanks to his efforts to find it reassuring to hear that you're not the only one i need it is reassuring to know that you're not alone and it's such a wide range of symptoms that i do once faced with and at once led mystical along

and recently hot and in a physical appointment been given light exercise just sit there and you hear it it's just difficult to manage and to deal with it looks like the issue is being taken seriously is now being discussed in a parliamentary committee does that bring you any comfort at all not really because any chances devolved in scotland saw whatever they do in imminent wales be a separate developments in what they do in scotland and there's no cohesive or joined up approach to so as. lebanon is trying to recover from the massive explosion in beirut that killed 137 people and injured 5000 some residents are still missing and local authorities say the number of dead and injured is expected to rise as rescue workers are still clearing through the rubble to search for survivors to give you an idea of the scale of the disaster here satellite

images of the area before and after the blast all surrounding buildings were leveled by the shock waves which were reportedly felt as far away as cyprus explosion happened in the densely populated port area of the city local journalist that report and help people in beirut are coping with the tragedy. beta it's one of the oldest cities in the world with a 5000 year history leveled in the space of a few minutes the explosion and fire destroyed buildings within a 10 kilometer radius turning this bustling city into a bomb crater. the and. the and.

this here is one of the busiest streets and. it is host to tens of shops many of which are for internationally known brands today it is covered with shattered glass and rubble and people are trying to pick up the pieces of what was caused by the explosion the disaster that happened to beirut it's. like. a ton of people full of lives and the situation and the young adults around do everything got destroyed is the 2nd time in history that the road has been destroyed like this it doesn't look like boot i feel like i'm in a different country not only is this area known to be as a commercial hub and to one of the most important places for shopping and leisure at the level of lebanon as a whole but also many of these buildings are actually or have

a lot of historic importance they are landmarks which was toward the lebanese civil war and following the lebanese civil war many of them was destroyed lebanon has you have bullet tainted these buildings back in the ninety's today again unfortunately we find that much of them has been destroyed and they need your habit. all over again. this is in the beirut. beirut is the middle east which is heartbreaking to see that all the buildings have been damaged and homes destroyed this disaster the worst in lebanon since the lebanese civil war as yet another body blow for the country after 9 months of empty government on rest the economy was already in a state of meltdown half of the population is below poverty line food prices are soaring and the currency is devalued now baby with has to find yet another way to rise from beneath that is still to come this. more than 2000 racism complaints against the metropolitan police have resulted in no further action we

hear from a former chief superintendent. and the brain drain continues is that you see the boom in the u.k. migration since the country but still even 2016 that's is the conservative votes among ex-pats collapses i'll be joined by. as well as polling guru professor john curtis. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. i know team no crowd. no

shots. actually helps me. let me stress no 1st. points your thirst for action. a more robust moral for what you want and which we move business as usual but guess what. we prepared for carbines. times are a lot cheaper than reduced mobility you know the terms it's a lot cheaper than having block the. number of britons leaving the u.k. and taking up residency in e.u. countries has soared since the vote to leave the balkan 2016 according to a joint report by researches in oxford audi's page one of a report on the latest brain drain. bragg's it was always going to come with

consequences and amid talk of taking back control and sunlit uplands the head freedom of movement the right to live and work in 27 of the nations is being taken away from u.k. citizens now that's prompted is a huge up take in british people seeking a new home and the new passport in mainland europe these increases in numbers are of a magnitude that you would expect when a country is hit by a major economic or political crisis another important finding from the empirical evidence associated with bragg's it is reduced levels of consideration and level headedness in decision making with increases in levels of impulsiveness spontaneity and corresponding risk taking spain has seen the highest jump in migration figures with british people applying for residency jumping 5 fold in the period between 20 sixteen's vote and 28 in france

a 2nd where prior to break that around 500 u.k. citizens a year were registering as migrants that figure is now closer to 5000 here in germany just 622 u.k. citizens applied for geale nationality in 2015 last year that number was over 30000 with the estimate suggesting that it's around hof of the 120000 or so british citizens in germany will apply for a passport by the end of this year migrants from the u.k. on the whole have high levels of skills and education in germany british migrants are amongst the highest earners behind those from austria and the united states a u.k. brain drain to the continent may well be one of the consequences of breaks that as people look to hold on to their earning potential and also maintain their ability to live and work in e.u.

member states peter all of our artsy berlin. but is bridget really responsible for this supposed brain drain early as joined by brigadier and former independent any pay for the west midlands and recur he said he continues to have high hopes for britain's future. those that do slightly the are not actually already resident in the u.k. will give greater opportunity to our existing township people but let's also look at where they're going you're talking to 1st place barry welsh brains got 30 percent youth unemployment compared to ours it just but 12 secondly going to france youth unemployment 1920 percent riots going on you know pretty regular well you know and don't get wrong anyone who wishes to leave i wish them the very best and they're always welcome back h.q. his company's headquarters company's capacity moving abroad that is that is going to be damaging to the economy not quite right but you know no one can say with

certainty how we will do it but if you've got to look at some of the best experts from abroad those are looking more from an entire show if you like the chief economist of the bundesbank who say even without a deal britain has it in its in its natural interests to do better but what it really thin edge that will do more damage is a deal with the e.u. that constrained us are uncertain really no i think we have you know the reason why we call great britain is a great country meanwhile british voters resident overseas have swayed away from the conservative party in the years after the break to vote there's currently a time limit on voting rights of 15 years which the prime minister was expected to ditch but the research throws that prospect into doubt. just 6.2 percent of brits in the e.u. voted tory in december's election that's down by 2 thirds from the 2015 election

when 19.4 percent voted conservative and decades back in 1902 over 60 percent voted for john major's party one man who knows a thing or 2 about voting intentions is polling expert professor john curtis he thinks the tory voters may have actually started a band in the party back in 2015 when a referendum on breaks that was promised by david cameron. allowing the overseas phone system was 1st and lamented popular i've seen eighties and frankly for a long time most of them just didn't bother we honor around 10000 or so people if city votes in the late eighty's or early 99 just place he's a democrat because it had to be done but 1st accept rick santorum most of them frankly probably have lost connection with the ok but yes amongst those who had registered its full base of research but the don't want sort of action that the emperor don't conserve and certainly that was the assumption on both sides to provide so little party tended to be dislike not allowing overseas voters devoted

to their rights for a lot of conservative parts and who are the keynote it what's interesting about this research done at the some such university is in a sense it's cost a whole fresh new light on this subject in the wake of grex and now actually it shows that even before britain is implemented but in an election of which the conservative party was clueless thing about $4.00 and $1.00 grants is only around 20 percent of the overseas voters 3050 concerts now are studies done of 6 points of course you have to remember as your previous item has reminded us no groups lives are affected more by our decisions only their opinion than 'd the rights of british citizens who have taken up freedom of ruins in order to live and in some cases work inside their opinion and it's not surprising that again courts research policemen is 95 percent of those people who are on living

a bull's eye and who in the wake of the referendum did it now start to get some of it said about a culture many of them on the verge just of by the time of the 316 referendum that they do to overwhelmingly were in favor of it remain and the truth is this is one of many examples of the way in which the character of support for the conservative party has been changed as a result of brits. what we once thought of as the polity that represented middle class most if not fluent voters those days are over a month domestic but it is this party now it does just as well amongst those who are less model because this is a party that's about all that's not defying by its court of arms those who are opposed to britain's year period membership let's change that to it's a mess to charge of services for the records of this research is also not a pretty dramatic impact on the participants you do whenever a vote is sees as well boris johnson was going to abolish the time limit on voting the fact that so many seem to want to vote for other parties might mean they need

to choose that particular plan well i certainly shall we say it was always argued when this was sized introduced that it was it was introduced by the conservatives in the belief that it was in their way to actually address i guess however is the policy really just believe the argument that those living abroad should return to their rights to vote for life in the moment if you can only do so if you've not been away from the u.k. it's a voice in 15 years if it can survive to please us and more as a point of principle then presumably will consume your progress this idea. thousands of complaints of racial discrimination against metropolitan police officers have resulted in no further action. been almost 3000 complaints and 2015 the freedom of information request has revealed a 93 percent of these lead to no further action being taken 70 complaints did result in formal action against an officer and 68 prompted management action meaning that officers were giving advice on conduct

a spokesperson from the met police said that they strive to ensure fairness the met takes all allegations of a racist nature extremely seriously and it's clear racism has no place within the organization. policing is complex and challenging and we strive to ensure that we are fair and just. it comes amid growing concerns of systemic discrimination within the police just last month a team g.b.'s lead bianca williams accused london police officers of racial profiling after her car was pulled over and searched enemies of her family was targeted because they are black and drive an expensive car and the police have since apologized to her and have voluntarily referred the incident to the police forced on. a former metropolitan chief superintendent a dull barber who told me earlier that the latest figures simply reflect what many black and minority ethnic people already know. weighs very very worrying and i think we've seen this time of black lives matter movements across the world so

people are asking there's a much more scrutiny around issues around race and the police are at the forefront of it so so i think it this is a one to systemic problem in the u.k. around the representation the way minorities are treated to a whole range of different organizations within the u.k. but of course it can be said it could be said that there was an investigation and nothing was found. but. you could say that but 90 percent it seems incredibly or 93 percent seems really incredible an acquittal rate so i think i think what we need to look at is and the statistics show that there will probably be more complaints this year than they have been in previous years so we really need to make sure that we're dealing with these issues properly that we're learning from them has a society and the police in particular and that we have a system where the community have confidence in the police i think these figures no matter what metric you use bill you will see

a disproportional see how minorities are treated so you're more likely 4 to 6 times more likely be stuffed if you're a minority in the police across the whole of the country in terms of police officer this is internal that. make up 70 percent of the place the make of 23 percent of all discipline airings so whether it's internal acts to will there is significant could sends about have money overseas or treaty wouldn't play says and that's all it means for now the loss of that go on and off and.

look forward to talking to you all. should work for people. must obey the orders given to human beings except where such conflict with the 1st law. should be. the point is. artificial intelligence. must protect its own existence and. there are a lot of lawmakers in the state that we know huge financial contributions from agricultural industry groups those are the groups that opposed proposition b. and there is no doubt in our minds that those same groups pressured lawmakers to

overturn proposition b. and before the session even started there were bills that were. just that you feel bad because it was repealed but you know all of your work. has made a dramatic difference for this i mean just the fact that. things are definitely much improved with many of the worst. you still have chronic while others who are. still have. believe. there are so many issues. everybody is struggling in their own way. and face this neighbor the other neighbors.
