so. good to see you if you. go to. the spirit would be to do an. experiment in the. clue. to move.
9:31 pm
this is boom box the one business show you can't afford to miss i'm going to bore in washington coming up next talk saga has seen yet another shock twist the oracle has made an agreement with bite dance and beating out the favorite tech giant microsoft straight ahead we dive into the potential deal and what it means for the popular video sharing app plus after a hiatus astra zeneca and oxford university have resumed trials for their code 19 vaccine later we break down the race here and where action numbers stand globally and while many sectors of the economy continue to struggle in the wake of coppa 19 markets are surging on the back of some major acquisitions later we'll take a look at these moves and what and the state of equities in fact show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with a major divel. in this saga surrounding the most popular social media app in the
9:32 pm
world tick tock as monday bite dance the parent company of tech back has announced that it reached an agreement with oracle now according to buy dates the company has submitted a proposal to the u.s. treasury department over the weekend that would make oracle not the owner of but a trusted technology provider shares in oracle jumped more than 6 percent on monday morning with confirmation of the news treasury secretary stephen newton says that the government is reviewing the proposal but this move could mean that by dance does not have the outright sell or have to outright celtic which would allow the company in theory to remain in compliance with the new chinese regulations meant to stop the sale of the company. top of all of. this has fully excludes certain u.s. politicians are true intentions of disguised robbery and their ugly face of economic model leaving china firmly opposes this bill firmly support relevant enterprises in
9:33 pm
safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests and resolutely defend the international and economic trade rules that the u.s. government has to provide an open fear and nondiscriminatory business into the ironman for the orange company's strategic investment and operation as for the specific business behavior of the company you mentioned we have no comment. and joining us now to dig deeper into the story are boom bust co-hosts ben swan and christy i thank you both for being here now but i want to start with you so the company that seemed to be leading the charge on a tic tac acquisition was actually microsoft which had joined in its bid with wal-mart do we know why microsoft didn't get this deal. well there is some suspicion as to why they didn't get it one of the big keys i think to that would be the fact that from the beginning microsoft said that it had to have complete control of the code which to talk is written right essentially controlling the algorithms and controlling the technology behind it not just being
9:34 pm
a technology partner that is what they wanted well because of the way that the chinese essentially and beijing changed the rules along the way and said hey you cannot just sell you know code and algorithms to a company or a country outside outside of china they shut that down so microsoft was leading the way on this along with wal-mart looked like they were going to be the ones to get it and then all of a sudden when that change happened microsoft was kind of out of the run because they wanted to be able to control the code oracle on the other hand that they're taking a major stake in the company but they're just referring themselves as a technology partner in this case it really raises questions though about the troubled ministration and about what they attempted to do here because remember the trump administration said from the beginning that they could not allow the chinese to have access to all this data because then they could use it to harm national security will now all of a sudden under this scenario i don't think the chinese have lost any control assuming that they ever had any over the data that tick tock has but now you kind of forced a merger with oracle which by the way has
9:35 pm
a lot of ties to the trump administration and from the beginning president trump went around saying that he wanted oracle to be the one to get this deal now kristie as we've said oracle's not going to take over operations of the company but instead become a trusted technology provider or partner now is this role enough to safeguard the company from violating the new rules which ban the sale of chinese tech by the chinese government. well the full details of the deal are still pending and doesn't seem like i dance it's trying to bring in the middle by satisfying to a certain degree the demands of both china and the u.s. so my dance operation will not be sold as proprietary iron is definitely not for sale and so oracle will become a partner well take a management of tick tocks us operation and this proposal actually makes a lot of sense as oracle is primarily an enterprise software developer that would be a great technology partner but in terms of culture or consumer market it doesn't really fit the audience so it also provides a level of protection for tech talk as well as it's not selling itself to
9:36 pm
a direct rival oracle's businesses are in an upper stream and talks change such as cloud services so the parents core interests don't really collide with each other so yes it does satisfy beijing's demand as there will be no sale of the algo and by canceling not getting a source code to any us virus however it's not creating this interesting option for trump demanded a sale now he's getting a partial deal where oracle is the operator in general lan take and some quite are minority stakeholders as ben mentioned most p.c.'s with tremendous political influence and some of socom dolly's biggest donors so now the ball is back in time square as i guess has agreed to a deal to a u.s. company in order to get into a little bit more of the politics of this here in just a moment but i want to cover this algorithm a little bit more no tech has said that while it would sell portions of the company one thing it was never willing to sell was that algorithm it was clear why microsoft wanted that they wanted the technology they also have the ability to have the front facing tech unlike somebody like oracle who is kind of a behind the scenes enterprise company as of course you just mentioned now to talk
9:37 pm
influencers 2nd actually joined us and talked about why this algorithm is so important just recently. what they've been doing from the beginning i just a couple years ago was there out there that made it so power on that it leveled the playing field for anyone who wants to as a stone and to make a little fun story or joke or do a dance or whatever maybe there's a ton of different ecosystems and creators on the internet on tick tock but in a lasting once you have the chance to go viral on a totally different level of events that's bigger than we've seen possible with you tube gets bigger and we instagram and buy me been so that's why it's so exciting and i think that's the drop not only is it the you are but i'm especially for those viewers who are trying to concentrate on the app and right now obviously the most important thing when it comes to social media is that algorithm so does the oracle entering the deal and making this deal actually protect the rights of that algorithm for a for byte dance as a company yet it really does the math again let's invite answered from the beginning that was unwilling to let go of this algorithm so what they've
9:38 pm
essentially said you know so the viewers understand this is when the trouble ministration said you're going to have to sell us canada new zealand and australia those operations were by the us was looking to do it is essentially you could quit it to we're going to sell you the carbon and looking to sell you any of the engine right you can just have the shell that's essentially what they would have been selling and so a company like microsoft had they bought to talk would have had to kind of read this redesign the algorithm that's use they were not points about it from the beginning what this does allow though and this is why it's good news if this thing all comes together for to talk influencers or just anybody out to talk if you're on tech talk and you want to be seen you're able to to be seen in a way that other as was saying other social media companies don't allow you to be seen facebook has an incredibly controlled algorithm so does you tube they decide who gets seen and who doesn't talk is much more open in terms of the ability to become an influencer and to grow a following in a way that's more authentic than a lot of other social media so that stays in place oracle will not change that and
9:39 pm
really oracle just gets to own now a piece of a company that. candidly they never really had a right to own in the 1st place but because of this 4 cell they're going to have a piece of it and basically going to be able to collect money as long as this is a popular app essential it now kristie in the end doesn't this whole thing start to look like as we were talking about here president trump painted tick-tock as a threat to national security that he pushed the company into the hands of a company that actually has ties to its ministration and in the end doesn't really make the technology any more secure than it was a month ago does it. no there was never really any proof to show that take talk was actually a national security threat to begin with national kick security is just a term that gives langat power to take and of course and in this case it was to take the most that the fastest growing and most valuable tech i.p.o. currently on the market a platform that could one day rival facebook but to the 2nd part of your question now in the end this oracle deal does not make the technology any more secure than
9:40 pm
it was a month ago it might however satisfy the instruction as it gives the illusion of security as now oracle will be responsible for this user data protection and how the company's algorithms push content out to u.s. users so management said that over the course of the week administration to make sure the code is secure american dana secure and that phones are secure and they'll be in discussions with oracle on how to manage that so by dan's plans to argue that there is also precedents for this deal as 2 years ago china ocean wide agreed to a u.s. based 3rd party service in order to manage genworth us policy holder data so now he's in the same logic byte and says that this proposal would result in a ministrations security concerns and really you have to look at it on a broader scale as any sort of deal whether giving the perception of more safety whether there actually is more safety is good for the president rather than the perception that he got sick bay and in the united states who must co-host bents
9:41 pm
want to christiane thank you for breaking this down for us to get it. in the u.k. has entered an agreement with french back scene maker bell need to supply the country with up to 190000000 doses of its potential corona virus vaccine over a 5 year period if development of the v.l.a. 2001 vaccine comes to fruition will provide the nation with 60000000. this is in the last 6 months 2021 for just over $550000000.00 u.s. the u.k. government would then have the option to buy $40000000.00 more doses in 2022 and another 30 to $90000000.00 doses between 20232025 now if the government were to buy all $190000000.00 doses the deal would exceed $1000000000.00 and after having to
9:42 pm
suspend their coronavirus vaccine trial due to a reported side effect in a u.k. patient astra zeneca and oxford university have been given the go ahead to resume trials the university issued a statement sunday announcing the regulatory approval to restart the trial saying the independent review process has concluded and following the recommendations of both the independent safety review committee and the u.k. regulator the m h r a the trials will commit to recommit and in the u.k. so with all of that in mind let's go ahead and take another look at the trends and spread of the virus globally with r.t. correspondent saya tablature so i where are we monday and ran on sunday last 24 hours be of once again reached a record a single day spike in global cases total linked to more than $307000.00 new cases which brings the total global cases to almost $38000000.00 and now it's also important to mention that while more than $931.00 thousands have died more than $21000000.00 or about 75 percent have also fully recovered now from the total cases
9:43 pm
the u.s. has reported the worst of the outbreak with almost 6 with over 6700000 confirmed cases and now also reaching 200000 related deaths now taking a look at the daily new cases and that's reported in the u.s. so while case numbers remain relatively high across much of the country now new cases have dropped significantly since late july as you see right here from this graph and right now we're averaging well well in july we're averaging well over 60000 cases. per day but right now we're averaging about $35000.00 cases per day so that's a decrease of a 17 percent from 2 weeks earlier so that's good news and then taking a look at the daily deaths on sunday we saw 399 new deaths that's also a decrease of 17 percent from 2 weeks ago and i also want to take a look at where new cases are higher and not just higher but also staying higher
9:44 pm
now these states their new cases are constantly increasing for example in north dakota they are seeing a 17 percent increase in cases not only that but also a 83 percent increase and that now these states there are also facing similar numbers brant sorry i want to go the other countries that are seeing an upward trend in cases so we actually now seeing a spike in new cases in countries that are earlier looked like they had the virus under control of course there is infections in india that have been rising faster than any other country and only lags the us in total infections now india has recorded over 92000 new cases just not last 24 hours taking the total number of cases to $4850000.00 bar brand while deaths have been relatively low in india it's not rising to more than $1100.00 deaths just in the last 24 hours and that's
9:45 pm
about a 20 percent increase so they're definitely not head in the right direction for us of course we spoke about earlier and as you can see the trend is just going up and then there is a latin america which includes brazil peru mexico and colombia and now also argentina that make up half of the global tops and cases in argentina argentina here really sticks out from the list because while they're trying to return to a normal life in less than 2 months new cases have grown 3 times in argentina to. 12000 a day so once one of the countries with the strongest performance against the virus they're now undoing all of that now moving over to europe there seems to be a 2nd wave as a new cases and deaths are once again rising specially in spain and france which previously was not on this list and on friday more than 51000 new cases reported in
9:46 pm
europe and that's the highest peak since april meanwhile the number of the number of daily deaths across the continent has also remain at around the same level since early june with about $400.00 to $500.00 deaths per day so that's not looking good at all now lastly rush up they were totaling almost $11000.00 cases per day back in may and then they started seeing a downward trend to less than $4700.00 cases per day in late august but it's once again seeing a they're seeing an increase in new cases so once again russia is making their way on this list but of all the countries that i just listed on this we just talked about all of them are refusing to put any kind of lockdown back on but interestingly in love one country not on this list is israel they're now doing the complete opposite and they've become the 1st country to reimpose lock down measures so it seems some countries are taking this new surge in new cases
9:47 pm
a lot more serious brant r.t. correspondent sorry thank you for keeping us up to date. it's time now for a quick break but here because when we were at church while many sectors of the economy continue to struggle in the wake of the open 19 markets are surging on the backs of some major acquisitions later already take a look at the moves in the state of equities and as we get a break here numbers of the put. the pandemic no certainly no board is just lying to nationalities.
9:48 pm
has emerged. to. judge in the commentary classes least. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are indeed together. to the near the city really to show.
9:49 pm
that. you know never to strip him of. the good to see you are the. doing your force what it would be to the spirit i pity you it was more expedient than in the. stadia. for you to post to a place to move. your boat is.
9:50 pm
welcome back u.s. equities soared monday after that massive tech sell off ravaged markets for the last week and a half now the gains in markets are mostly due to a series of mergers and acquisitions including oracle's deal regarding tic-tac as well as promising news on the coburn 1000 vaccine for one of the most high profile deals as u.s. based new videos announcement it would acquire u.k. semiconductor manufacturing fax your arm from soft bank for 40 $1000000000.00 no arms intellectual property is used in processors for mobile device manufacturers like apple samsung and qualcomm now in the announcement of the deal the company said it would continue to operate its open licensing model while maintaining its global customer new neutrality now on the news and video stock shot up as much as 9 percent at points throughout the day meanwhile pharma giant gilliard sciences announced a $21.00. dollar deal with purchase biotech firm immuno medics and it's breast cancer drug should l.v.
9:51 pm
now i'm you know medic shares closed at just over $42.00 per share out of friday gilliatt agreed to pay 88 dollars a share in all carry cash option for the company a premium of 108 percent now on news gilliam stock popped as much as 4 and a half percent throughout the day and in another deal of rising communications has agreed to buy trac fone a prepaid cell phone provide a service provider for mexico's america movil in a deal worth as much as $7000000000.00 now trac fone boasts more than $20000000.00 prepaid customers under the this brand as well as 2 offshoots of the move sent america movil she shares up by as much as 6 percent while verizon saw moderate gaze so let's go ahead and take a look at these deals and the state of factories with the c.e.o. of optimist l l c i take it thank you so much for being here today thanks and now i want to start with the state of markets after a week and a half of sell offs we're seeing substantial gains now we also have the last federal reserve meeting before november's elections here in the u.s.
9:52 pm
coming up on wednesday do you expect any policy move to actually shake up markets or is the volatility gone for the time being. well i'd be very surprised to see any surprises coming out of this fed meeting i think german pow is acutely aware the markets are very dependent on his mantra policy in his very loose munched policy and i think we saw the unpleasantness we saw in the markets over the course of the past week that in tech stocks was more of a reflection of the fact that people thought the markets might be getting back to normal and the fed might then reverse is very very loose mundra policy i think now the markets are sort of more calmed down a bit so i think what he's going to come out and say is really very little he's just trying to persuade markets that they're going to stay the course they're going to carry on with among trick policy they don't want to rock the boat before the election so it's going to be talking therapy calm down there's nothing to see here keep going however in terms of volatility going away i'm not sure i agree with you
9:53 pm
on the front that's what we're going to see now but when we got this election coming and this election might lead to a lot of maurice's in the markets both sides in this election seem to be sort of gearing up for a contested election it looks like it might well be very very close and it might look like the does the winner is not decided on election night we've been for a few days after few weeks afterwards the markets are going to absolutely hate that so i think me very very complacent now to say there's no new will us in the market i think there's tremendous possibility for those who see not perhaps in terms of interest rate policy which will remain fixed in the next few weeks or months even but certain times the election that is a huge possibility for an enormous amount for a city coming up not so far away. now i want to talk a little bit about this in a video acquisition of arm what do you make of this deal of analysts expect back what backlash and regulatory hurdles considering the u.k. based company provides technology to many of invidious competitors. well i heard some rumors exergy lazing that nvidia wants to buy on to basic destroy the company
9:54 pm
and make life difficult for india's competitors that sounds a bit to strategy in america sense of want to do that i mean almost. these competitors can go elsewhere for the intellectual property the. use they provide so it's not the only game in town there are alternatives to it so if you didn't really want to finger his composure designs they could do it but it would be a fairly silly things to do i think much more likely is the u.k. regulators look at this and say we don't necessarily want one of knowledge of champions and there's not that many of them in the u.k. to fall now under the jurisdiction of the u.s. to become a u.s. company and have the us decide where it can sell us intellectual property and not i mean you could imagine such a scenario where the u.s. government says the u.k. government is not allowed to max that technology for national security reasons so that would be sort of a perverse outcome that the perhaps a british government wants to avoid and the schultz is trying to get assurances from us the u.s. regulators that won't be the case and there will be free to continue just
9:55 pm
a list from associates but that is a very real risk in this so i think you might will see the u.k. regulation block this and say no thank you we're going to we're going to walk away from the still out of the national security interests you know thought big actually bought our back in 2016 for 31000000000 dollars now and is now selling for roughly $40000000000.00 at the heck of a profit but is this an attempt for soft bank to unload an asset at a profit after struggling with the likes of we work or is it just good business sense as far as you see it. well it is certainly at a profit that seems to have been somewhat elusive for soft bank in recent times actually turning a profit on things we saw the debacle with they didn't cover themselves in glory with. just last week 2 weeks ago we were talking about what sort of grant was doing with this equity derivatives don't look like a little hedge fund within the organization without letting anyone know so yes there is a preteen to rack up some wins and show that they can actually online low and sell
9:56 pm
high the way they have in the past or bear in mind. it's a 1000000000 selling for 40000000000 between 2016 and now it's not terribly impressive i mean just the mouse that went up over 130 percent in the same time in the s. and p. 500 is up over 70 percent so a good 30 percent return for your positon crude is not that impressive so it looks more to me like soft bank is trying to shore up its capital position and trying to generate some cash to absorb the losses that have to have as a result of the poor trading activity and i would hit on this quickly gilliard is actually obviously been at the forefront of the news amid the pandemic with their treatment room does appear now if this purchase of amino medics and their biggest care their breast cancer drug and attempt to keep that momentum going forward after the times of coburn $1000.00 i got 30 seconds for activia. well i would say rheumatism is the disappointment it has not in the clinical trials they've had to
9:57 pm
go through they have not been terribly effective at it and we just have any through a clinical significance so it's definitely an attempt to remain relevant and it looks to me like the overpaying this premium on the acquisition is enormous so it's next that desperation to me octavia moran the c.e.o. of optimist l.l.c. thanks so much for your time. thank you. and that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on demand on the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on smartphones and tablets through google play in the apple app store by searching portable t.v. you can also be downloaded on a newer model samsung smart t.v.'s as well as a broken devices or simply check it out at portable dot t.v. we'll see you next time. please.

first regime change claims and why it is not and will not work and it was also the nub of the saga benefits from this very strange. woman needless. to say on the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying 20 kilos 'd of drugs. pushed a fence down. blues that they just kept going through. in the main
9:59 pm
thing. they have this is the this is for me. i. mean. i don't know maybe they don't make or. break. that one. solutions for the words inflation and deflation this is the fact that you can say both are happening at the same time or could happen the same time you have to ask yourself what's the what's the use of even using words like inflation or deflation because it doesn't describe what's going on with the economy we've outgrown those words the economy has moved beyond those definitions we're in a different type of economy and market completely.
