this is the one business though you can't afford to miss there much as they are going to washington coming up by the donald trump signed an executive order on the phone and i really believe that doll on capitol hill still millions are expected to make that's my friend at the senate minimum kind of hard payments. government shutdown after last week's deadly explosion at a root canal the city may be built on the protests in certain places they have a lot to get to fill up. a new number of coronavirus cases continues to grow as new infections are spiking worldwide will head of the world health organization argues it's never too late to

control the outbreak this week we would reach 20000000 by just a cases of corby of 975-0000 is green shoots of hope and no matter where the country a region a city or a news it's never too late to the outbreak around the agency's executive director of emergencies program said that unlike the seasonal flu coppa 19 is not showing the same seasonal patterns this one is has demonstrated no seasonal pattern a switch so for what it is clearly demonstrated these you take the pressure off the virus to buy responses back that's the reality that's the fact. meanwhile new zealand marked 100 days without community transmission but prime minister just send up ardern a caution that the country must remain vigilant. significant hearing of. any

of the really. long as we have. you know we're only going to grow you know. what it is i'm all. this comes as europe once the epicenter of the pandemic is seeing spikes in ireland france and even italy will european countries they took extreme measures by issuing strict lock downs in the early spring but they're worried about a possible 2nd wave well according to i f o german companies expect these restrictions to last another 8 and a half months this would be through april of next year meanwhile the u.s. now makes up more than one 4th of global cases the country surpassed $5000000.00 infections on sunday now the amount has doubled since the end of june and comes only 17 days after exceeding $4000000.00 cases according to a new report by the american academy of pediatrics and the children's hospital association more than 97000 children tested positive for cocaine 19 over the last 2

weeks now that's a 40 percent increase we're seeing in child cases the result states are still under pressure to open schools by this fall. over the weekend president trump signed an executive order for a crown of our stimulus this comes after failed negotiations with congress but trump said the executive order gives republicans much of what they wanted. what. you. want my book. for more on the relief deal and how markets are doing we are joined by bill moyers co-host christiane and c.e.o. and chief strategist for quo intelligence and former federal reserve insider danielle de martino who's the neil let's start with you president trump on saturday

he signed this a series of these executive orders to expand this relief bill to americans but these new orders they're probably going to face a legal challenge is continuing the programs would require federal funding which obviously congress controls what's going to happen now and will democrats challenge this. well i do think that democrats are going to say that they're going to challenge it and i do think that there will be a challenge to this but i think the sticking point is there's probably not a democrat or republican or a politician in the country who would actually try and stop this money from going out directly to to people in need of it people who are still unemployed there are people in the bases of both the rip republican and the democratic party so again i think that there will indeed be legal challenges it is only under under congress' authority to to allow such as you to legislate spending we've never seen fema

funds used for an emergency of a pandemic so obviously all kinds of legal rules are being rewritten but i don't think that the democrats will go so far with what do we have now 12 weeks left until the election with this little time left between now and the election i just can't see them stopping the money from going out the door well it's interesting because people are in dire need of this money and that's been a big issue where of republicans have said that we will meet you halfway we'll negotiate or at least do a temporary deal democrats seem to be wanting it all or nothing at all christie what's your take pelosi told of fox news on sunday that they they will probably have possibly go to court with this. absolutely and i think danielle is right i think the democrats will want to challenge us but at the same time it doesn't look good for them if if every the entire population suffers i'm not getting the funds that are so direly needed right now well kristie let me change gears here a little bit and turn to u.s. china tension and relations that are waiting obviously all eyes happen to be on

tick tock and what's going to happen in the future in the next 15 or a couple days it seems that beijing has just sent its clearest signal that it will oppose the sale to talk to microsoft and that likely to any other u.s. buyer what's the latest here why i don't think that should come as any surprise to anyone because it's plainly optimistic to think that beijing would relinquish the most valuable tech company right now to so easily to the u.s. without any sort of fight at all so last week there were talks and elaborations on the table and by dance now plans to sue the trump and ministration and fight for the right to continue operation so right now this lawsuit alleges that the trump administration's executive order is unconstitutional because it did not allow to talk enough time to respond and that the claims that tick tocks being a national security threat is completely baseless and unsupported so take talk c.e.o. said that giving away his golden goose so soon would cripple the company's ability

to grow into a global tech conglomerate so when initial reports about a sale to microsoft 1st surfaced chinese users were furious calling this deal a robbery of chinese technology and that the c.e.o. is a sellout and a traitor so if faced a lot of pressure on backlash to fight back and so now it's looking like the company is doing exactly that now so the lawsuit will be filed in california and this is definitely looking like another hallway to point out kind of battle we knew it was going to go without a fight per usual but then allan let's move over to to lebanon here tuesday's blast it damage huge parts of its commercial main trading pour in there in beirut what effect will this have on the economy i mean it's already been struggle. and in financial crisis even before the blast. you know i think the world misunderstands the depth of the situation in lebanon and i've studied it very closely that the corruptions been going on for a generation now the accident was literally waiting to happen but the fact is right

now the it's not the right time for world authorities for the i.m.f. to be playing hardball i understand that reform measures must be taken it seems as if the government is about to collapse that might not necessarily be a bad thing but what we need to appreciate about lebanon 1st and foremost is that they're on the they're on the verge of having a famine they're on the verge of having a humanitarian crisis the likes of which we cannot comprehend the likes of which they have not seen since since the world war 2 era when there when food was completely cut off from the area so it's the depth of the economic crisis and cannot be overstated in any possible way shape or form and it is up to the world right now to stand up immediately and make sure that that help and humanitarian aid is sent to lebanon as soon as possible well done how is this going to further affect a middle east market. well yes so obviously there will be ripple effects for other middle middle east markets but i think i think the point that i'm trying to make

right now is that sometimes there are bigger matters than matters of economics and this is one of those times in the midst of this covert crisis because every outlet of economic growth including travel and tourism believe it or not to lebanon and all of it's been cut off with this latest a massive emergency hitting the country i think that the onus is upon world leaders right now to step in and. and come together on behalf of the people of that country absolutely kristie this fight this global turmoil u.s. equities they continue to make new highs even ted a what supporting this and are we going to see it continue i think we all know that this is supported by the trillion. of dollars as being costly pumped into the system and added so we've been saying this all along in the minute that the central banks take his foot off the gas pedal the entire thing will crumble because it's not supported by fundamentals at all everyone is trying to equities simply because that's the only place with any sort of yield right now and it becomes a self-fulfilling cycle as the old saying goes don't fight the fed and as long as

the fed keeps on printing it keeps on going up but the problem is that one day the fed will stop printing and all of this temporary stopgap measures that will have to stop so then what will happen. plainly will see probably a huge wave of corporate bankruptcy and because all the businesses right now are hurting without any sort of stimulus right now facing short term liquidity problems and once that set in and employment problems they will continue to exacerbate and get even worse so the entire recovery that we were all praying for this v. shaped bounce that never really materialized i know people who are stuck still keep on wishfully talking about it but the truth is that we have plateaued and so we need growth to pick up again and that requires a tremendous boost and a tremendous catalyst the last time we were in this situation china was the growth engine that kicked off growth again for the entire world and drove growth for the last decade but this time we don't have that catalyst so everybody in the world is just waiting out slowly and i looks like everybody in the world is waiting out the

leaf for that vaccine and it won't be until then where we can possibly eat and who knows because they're even saying that a vaccine may not necessarily guarantee immunity you'll have to get boosters there's a lot to be learned from from the virus and whether or not we're going to get the vaccine or not do any of the merging of those and christiane thank you both so much for your time today thank you thank you. yan a c.p. and the u.s. government are among those seeking billions in claims against produce pharma over its role in the nation's opiate crisis will produce filed for bankruptcy last year to resolve litigation the company face for widespread addiction to its painkillers well much like other creditors u.s. prosecutors and the and ugly c.p. had to file their financial claims against produce. by the end of july legal analyst carol's contributor with america's lawyer has more on those claims molly thank you for being with us today good to see you why is the it's and ability c.p. arguing that it should receive now part of this bankruptcy settlement. i think

at this point because the deadline was creeping up and they feel like they've basically been left out of the conversation so they want to come to the table and say hey you've got all these creditors including the u.s. federal government the saying we want x. amount of dollars in order to address the crisis in our particular communities because there are what some 2000 lawsuits that perdue and other manufacturers are facing throughout the country for their role in perpetrating this highly addictive pain killer to the average person and of lacey piece says you know we feel like the media as well is just legal enforcement attention has been paid more to white communities than it has to communities of color who have also been impacted in devastated by this drug abuse and they feel like if they're not at the table participating making claims putting in their request which is up to 10 $1000000000.00 they're going to get left out of the conversation and a lot of those resources that they need to address those same issues that are affecting white communities whether it's treatment for addiction or just finding the resources to help people overcome overdoses those need to go to communities of color as well and if they don't put their name in the hat right now they're going

to get left out of that well and they have said in the past and now they're saying that they haven't necessarily gotten the same resources as the white community has which is why there are forward but how hard has the minority community now been hit by this opiate addiction. well it's interesting i read a couple of different studies that said initially early on back in the ninety's and early 2000 you saw more white communities that being prescribed to them it was just the nature of access to health care as well but as you got into heroin addiction when moved on to other access to different sorts of pills that it did start to hit communities of color as well including black communities as well sustained communities and. act in 201720182001000 you started to see a lot higher rates of been an issue maybe not initially hit as hard according to one study as maybe the white community simply because they weren't being prescribed them as much they didn't have the access to health care and it goes to the bigger role of actually why the federal prosecutors were investigating the way produce

pharma and others encourage doctors to prescribe these it was you know people who are dealing with pain it affects people in all communities of color whether it's white lack or otherwise but it was just how did their insurance how it was you know how did they respond to pain problems and it did trickle down to the black community who is certainly feeling the effects of this addiction just like any other neighborhood and community in this country absolutely we know it's a huge problem here in the country mali how much are federal prosecutors asking from the settlement and why. anywhere between 13 and 18000000000 that's the upper end of what they can ask essentially and they're really trying to settle twofold they're trying to settle the civil litigation as well as any criminal complaints and that all goes to you know what did you know when did they know it where they illegally marketing this drug saying it was safe to prescribe when it wasn't where they giving kickbacks to pharmacies doctors the like to say hey go ahead and prescribe this at 90 pills for 30 days and let's see what happens it's

not addictive so they're really trying to cover a lot of bases to get as much as they can just like a lot of creditors and you even have some pharmacies that are also you know hit and hit for that last deadline to at the end of july to get their name in the hat to recoup some expenses in this bankruptcy settlement if you will even though they're being sued too as being part of the problem and not doing enough to stop the flow of drugs that were going to people so they're being sued as part of the problem but they're also now asking for us that all that money out of this is yes it's pretty crazy like c.v.s. it is it is everybody has their hand out everybody say and not my fault so i don't know how you decide who's who but i think that's part of what they're trying to get to the bottom of. yeah and i will definitely follow along to see how this all plays out molly barrows contributor with america's a lawyer thank you for joining us today. thank you. time now for a quick break but stay here because when we return kodak's wild spike may be coming to an end we're going to break down the investigation into the company's stock and

china has tried to punish canada at their various means including blocking goods it seems the asian super powers hunger for the canadian mati is too strong to flow the full well arty's alex mahela bit the story. just a few years ago it seemed like canada and china's relationship was on the right track renewing our relationship with china is extremely important for canada. until now. the canada china relationship has somewhat lacked in stability and regularity. we know the china will play a central role in shaping the global landscape in the years to come while canada was happily buying made in china goods china was purchasing billions in canadian products like meat soil and plenty of canola which is mostly made into cooking oil however things went south when canada arrested many one c.f.o.

of china's tech giant wall way man was detained by canadian officials and being coover on december 1st 2013 at the request of the us government has been held under the suspicion of fraud related to allegations that she violated u.s. sanctions against iran and is waiting possible extradition to the states with the arrest canada put itself in the middle of a trade war between china and the us since then canada has been punished by china through is trade restrictions and allegedly to the arrest of 2 canadians instead of trying to ease tensions with its 2nd largest trading partner after the states canada has chosen to dig in its heels here's the u.s. secretary of state mike palm pale canada stood firm against the chinese government . party's ox is taking its 3 major telecom cares have also banned untrusted vendors even with canada taking action against the asian economic powerhouse now some canadian meat is being allowed into china but canola trade remains strictly limited at least officially the fact is the demand for canadian canola also known as

rapeseed has recently sort internationally and has found a back door to china while china has deeply cut its canadian imports china is buying canola oil from other countries who buy much of their raw canola from canada as it stands canada is the world's biggest producer of the yellow flowering plant in fact it's canada's number one crop last year it earned canadian farmers over 6 point $4000000000.00 us dollars i had bad weather and insects which have caused the lowest yield in 13 years for the e.u. and britain for 2 years in a row canadian canola is crushing it although canadian canola exports to china fell by 45 percent year over year during 11 month period through june the country's total canola exports have jumped by 9 percent with france doubling its purchases and the u.a.e. tripling its import shipments in fact last week ice canola futures hit a high reaching levels not seen since october 2018 the jump was mirrored by

a price rally in china which an attempt to limit supply from canada has caused an increase in cost for the oil at home according to reports a manager with a china based canola importer has said profits are extravagant anyone who has the resources to import canola oil will definitely buy it is like gold oil now currently canadian stockpiles are high and canada's dollar remains competitive meaning as much as china might not like it a little bit of canada will be on its kitchen tables for the forseeable future for boom bust i'm alex my love it's. very bad news for kodak after a match. the $765000000.00 loan deal has now been put on hold well that's thanks to allegations of wrongdoing by kodak and its executives as we previously reported the deal came about when the u.s. international development finance court announced plans last month to loan kodak the funds to now produce ingredients drug ingredients that is out attack trees but

now well that deal has been put on hold until these allegations can be cleared up the d.f.c. tweeted on july 28th we signed a letter of interest with eastman kodak recent allegations of wrongdoing raise serious concerns we will not proceed any further unless these allegations are cleared will joining us now to discuss is bill must co-host an investigative journalist on found let's start with the allegations here what's actually being claimed about kodak. so it's pretty simple here that little that you mentioned that the 760000000 alone was announced it details the world in july 27th but the season to getting that number one on what grounds was it leaked in the 1st place that's a very important and and secondly after that how can that control the disclosure of the law which caused the stock price 25 percent. and then looking at

the fact that stock options were granted to exact. on the day. so were looks and stock options were granted to executives on july 27th those options instantly became profitable because of that 25 percent that isn't the correct allegation that's in look. lot of serious concerns here especially from the democrats about the amount of money in this amount alone going into a company like kodak because they have no pharmaceutical experience but we're going to follow this and continue to follow it i'm sure a bunch want you will be back with us to break this down further once they reach us some sort of agreement or see what happens there boom was co-host an investigative journalist but the. space x. has been in the headlines for working with nasa to launch astronauts to the international space station but space x. may also be the next big partner for the pentagon well according to the wall street journal musk's space x. won a multi-billion dollar contract with the department of defense making it one of 2

primary satellite launch providers now the deal will see space x. take over about half of 3 dozen launches over the next 7 years this breaks up the monopoly that was held by united launch alliance which is a joint venture between familiar names like lockheed martin and boeing well it's also a leap forward past amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos blue origin which also hit on that contract well that's it for now you can catch a boom bust on demand on the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on smartphones and tablets to google play and the apple app store by searching portable t.v. portable t.v. can also be downloaded on newer models of samsung smart t.v.'s as well as roku devices or simply check it out the portable the t.v. the next time.
