in the headlines this morning the 22nd of september europe sees a major surge in covert infections forcing the return of restrictions as poorest sections of the population suffer disproportionately. thousands of leaked files implicate some of the world's biggest banks in vast money laundering scheme spanning 2 decades coming up this hour we speak with one of the journalists who helped uncover the scandal. it was very fascinating to see huge money flows through the biggest banks you could think of not talking about shady part banks. in well known secrecy how humans would talk about the biggest banks you can think of britain is opening its 1st migrant camp after

a surge in channel crossings but locals give mixed reactions to the move. even if they don't want to pay for the people like the babies if i did not have a leg. to get to use. the money from russia live from artie's world news h.q. here in moscow this choose day my name is kevin owen here for the next 30 minutes for the latest update for you great you've chosen to watch us this morning sos appreciate it 1st maybe no surprise here sadly the world seeing a resurgence of covert 19 with countries registering a record spike in infections most notably france spain britain have been the most affected in europe while iran is also seeing a worrying rise in deaths is forcing governments to bring back restrictions main time maybe no surprise here either. the pandemic is hitting the poor and vulnerable

groups the most are europe correspondent charlotte toobin ski reports. covered 19 pandemic has highlighted many problems from inadequate medical resources to a lack of trust in governments around the world but perhaps the starkest issue that it's exposed is how different it is to experience a pandemic if you are poor compared to those with money. thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank. people impossible to do and face new restrictions on movement there has been an uproar over what some and labeling has segregation this is an example of government defense fear of people confined in poor neighborhoods all the districts can continue to enjoy their kids. the president of the community of madrid

treats this area like a ghetto the virus is here but why does that mean the workers need to be locked up it's even claimed in the evening at the opera highlighted the disparity in how people in the cheapest seats were treated they were in all of those in the more expensive seats below had adequate social distancing measures in place. social inequality has also been a topic for protesters in. while

in the u.k. the editor of the medical journal the lancet lambasted what he described as being the truth scale the social pathology underlying national crisis the gruner virus pandemic has exposed the reality of contemporary britain the countries defined by poverty insecurity and inequality science cannot guide the government in formulating this strategy a plan for britain's future must be guided instead of values and the lessons learned from the human consequences of this pandemic there has also been concern raised about the minority ethnic backgrounds who make up a 3rd of patients in the intensive care units we are continuing to see black asian and minority ethnic people suffering disproportionately in terms of intensive kid missions so not acting means that we're not protecting the vulnerable communities action was needed back in july and it's certainly needed now more than

ever i think minorities so also faced issues here in france statistics from the government's own agency reveal that the disproportionate impact of cove it early on in the pandemic that saw it up by a 134 percent amongst north african immigrants it was up 219 percent for those who were born elsewhere in africa and it's not just saying europe that there are problems across the globe it's estimated the pandemic will have reaching consequences with inequalities. and that's to me to 71000000 additional people will believe in extreme poverty due to cold 19000 asia and sub-saharan africa are expected to see the largest increases in extreme poverty with an additional 32000000 and 26000000 people respectively living below the international poverty line as a result of the pandemic the european commission has pledged to aid poor countries with a vaccine. when one is approved the nice commission president this in

a vulgar lane has said this was about ensuring its commitment to equitable access to the world's poorest and most vulnerable people but many people living in europe particularly those to restore points to the poverty line may be questioning where that help is then right now so many people ski ati. it is a scandal that's rocking the finance community the world's top banks are being accused of moving large sums of allegedly illicit funds over a period of nearly 2 decades despite red flags about the origins of the money itself or the leak of thousands of documents including suspicious activity reports filed by financial institutions to u.s. regulators in total and 2 trillion dollars worth of suspicious transactions flag to the u.s. government run lies by journalist seems 5 major world banks possess the most

suspicious money in processed it including dog which alone appears to have dealt with more than half of the alleged illicit transactions then j.p. morgan chase is also said to facilitate it money laundering for corrupt entities of venezuela ukraine and the lazier while h.s.b.c. allegedly helped move money from a ponzi scheme around the world we spoke with one of the reporters from the international consortium of investigative journalists who are uncovered the findings. you know it was very fascinating to see huge money flows through the biggest banks you can think of no i'm not talking about shady pop up banks. in well known secrecy havens we're talking about the biggest banks you can think of we're talking about banks on wall street and they way through money that was sort of sent through them by these smaller banks all over the world and these are the banks that you sort of believe all of us sort of the grown ups in the room

who are going to be responsible for you know being taking that sort of front line defense against really toxic talk to criminality but in fact you know we were seeing not only were they waving this stuff through but they sort of knew it was it was bad stuff that they were waiting to as well. financial institutions are legally bound to alert regulators to suspicious activity including money laundering or sanctions violations however it seems but he continued still processing money themselves and flagged up further putting a regulators too in the spotlight mccauley jaclyn got more detail from correspondents house can tailor. well the banks despite fighting of course these reports about that suspicions continue to just blindly move really astonishing sums of cash with some of them coming from drug cartels human traffickers crime rings corrupt politicians even the taliban i mean we're really talking about the darkest

underbelly of society now unfortunately this week has been politicized by some media in the u.k. especially there has been a particular emphasis on those russians involved for example how a russian politician sanctioned by the u.s. government sent around $8000000.00 to a compound in london with some of that money ultimately being donated to the conservative party or how an oligarch. allegedly laundered millions of dollars through barclays now given the very fraught political climate at the moment it's probably on surprising that there is such a focus on these so-called russians but really it does such a huge disservice to the scope of this scandal i mean 3000 u.k. companies alone on named in those files now that's more than any other country on top of that any bank you can think of really has implicated you know bank of america american express j.p. morgan to citibank barclays the list goes on and then clients and more than 170

countries and there are 293 in the world were named and flagged so focusing on a couple of russians in the u.k. it seems a bit disproportionate and what's been the reaction in the financial world since this all broke while the german ministry of finance has said that all of these transactions in the past they were all dated up until 2017 so they've been investigated the matter is closed but let's hear what some of the other big hitters had to say this is not new information to our regulators we learn from our mistakes systematically tackle the issues and made changes to our business perimeter our controls in our personal. consistent with our commitment to protect the integrity of the financial system city's diligence in filing suspicious activity reports with the u.s. department of the treasury when appropriate given the confidential nature of these reports we do not comment on or confirm any particular report transaction now some

argue that these words are not convince and given that the u.s. government especially has been pushing banks to reform for years now they've been fining them millions of dollars they've been threatening them with criminal charges so the fence and files show how these banks just transaction off to transactions have been violating all of those promises of good behavior and really given this leak is also thought to be just the tip of the iceberg and account for a point 2 percent of the total reports filed you know we all remember how painful how damaging the 2008 crash was we all hoped that that would somehow trigger change but really this latest leak you know the internationality of it the number of banks involved the astonishing the psalms the source of some of that cash really unfortunately is testament to how when it comes to money no matter how dirty it is morality and often the law is just left at the wayside for an uncertain as charlie

boyle suspects the bank's name to the scandal are unlikely that a face in the real punishment. that's in the words that most lists the latest late . 2017 story you know that my suspicions are all around a cycle this is still going on and nothing seems to change in every case the old paranoia made better use aerospace rastafari which is much less of the revenue that it's being nigerian to truncate or whatever you want to call it and then the banks just go back to normal as nothing's happened this is a continuous cycle it's a great family concert people forget about it there are problems in our lives starting its current form topic ending rape we're at the beginning again and this is what i consider. britain's 1st refugee camps open those doors the former army barracks in focused in the southern county kent to set

a house up to 400 asylum seekers but local authorities are worried indeed for straighted after not being consulted it comes as almost $6500.00 migrants have made the dangerous trip in small boats across the choppy english channel already this year. for. all. 4. or. 4. or. war or fetch up here and they don't want the all the people like the bait

not being that if i could not have a chance to get to. if you see this is happened quite quickly we 1st found out about it maybe 2 weeks ago and we've had a lot of questions none of which we pop satisfactory answers to yet i think is a good idea because clearly many many buildings here there's an empty. someplace you know city to be really seeking asylum that's fair enough to do it in the could mean it is good and bad you know we don't know. it might be just very great to be. done but the reason again this is just a very nice little community and people are very friendly very nice but i knew a lot of them don't like. them she just got me. oh let's see that the split seat if you get to me to say the seat company time for money.

we'll continue to follow the story from watching this morning's commute could pass the morning ok ahead twitter red faced off to blocking black people because of flaws in the. we investigate what that was about amongst the rest this morning's news. shows seem wrong. to me. to shape out these days to come out ahead and indeed equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this hearing dramatic development only and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in. again former black presidents and even black simpsons characters have been left out of twitter after a mistake in its photo preview feature the platform's 6 algorithm to fit an image into the main feet left out apparently barack obama in favor of white politician

mitch mcconnell and favored white citizens carrot isn't even golden labradors the social media giant admits it did not test enough patently for automatic bias and there's launched an investigation it's not the 1st such case of controversy the one user of video communications companies zoom question quite why his dark skin colleague was banishing during a virtual meeting later turned the service mistook the man's face for part of the background so therefore automatically removed it social media lawyer year cohen makes plain the mistakes and a bit more detail. the reason why twitter appears to be cropping images in the 1st place is to make the images more acceptable to the i perhaps more pleasant to the i and this is part of the of the greeting that the did the machine is being fed with the by east is institutional by the where did the

by see something that people deliberately cause when we talk about institutional buy see may be talking about statistics being fed into day into the machine about people's preferences about all sorts of information that 80 year end it causes some sort of prejudice against a particular group of people with a recent this is more of a technical issue rather than something that the machine had to learn from from people. this is new and now almost 200 world leaders politicians lawyers and academics are urging britain the free wiki leaks founder julian assange he's behind bars still waiting for a london court to rule on his extradition to the u.s. the call came in an open letter to the government lawyer a member rather for lawyers for a son says his case is clearly politicized. piece of duty in

a sound is very clear cut morally there there is no doubt who is in the right and who is in the wrong on the one hand we have a journalist who has exposed incredible work crimes and torture and corruption on the other hand we have the embarrassed superpower that wants to prosecute him it couldn't be more black and white than this as legal experts we can see and equivocally that what is going on is a political process and sanjay is accused of leaking a trove of secret u.s. military and diplomatic documents his extradition hearing have been delayed because by the covert and accumulate the proceedings is repeatedly being marked by protests outside the court building with public figures and political activists coming to support him former m.p. george galloway 1st musician mia reacting to the developments. i still feel hopeful. it is just nice i wish i could tell him the ways that you

know well it is changing and people's press freedom just barely ate the trees speak freely on the internet is actually way where this then it was the area and you say much censorship is the trial is back on again but you use the best word that i've heard to describe it trudging on it's trudging all day in complete silence none of the british media are covering this story after all even though it's the trial of the century right in the heart of london in some cases a few 100 yards away from the big media houses but none of them attend none of them are interested even though all the journalists in those media houses if julian our sons goes down so does journalism and where he goes there might. one day be forced

to follow we know how the case is going it's going extremely badly for the u.s. government and the british government the tragedy is that probably won't make any difference at all. world leaders getting ready for the 75th united nations general assembly which this year's being held virtually and washington's move to unilaterally reimposing un sanctions on iran's already dominating set agenda kellam open looks forward to. 75th the united nations general assembly in new york city is certainly unconventional as it's being held virtually with travel restrictions imposed due to the coded 19 pandemic now despite the fact that it's basically a cyber gathering with very few people on the premises of the united nations there has been no shortage of drama the week began with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei

o imposing new sanctions on the islamic republic of iran these are the sanctions that were lifted after the 2015 nuclear deal however the united states is taking the unilateral move of restoring those sanctions or actions today or warning that should be heard worldwide no matter who you are if you violate the u.n. arms embargo on iran your wrists anxious the country that's isolated today is not tonight it states but rather iran by these actions we have made very clear that every member of the state in the united nations has a responsibility to enforce these sanctions now other nations how denounced this unilateral move from the united states and strong disapproval of the united states pretty much stands alone at the united nations when it comes to their skirt standoff with iran and moves today we can see the maximum pressure policy of the u.s. against the iranian nation at least in the political and legal fields has turned into maximum isolation for the u.s.

we don't need a cheering section to validate our moral compass we do not find comfort based solely on numbers particularly when the majority has found themselves in an uncomfortable position under writing terrorism chaos and conflict. we refuse to be members of that club almost every country in the e.u. and the u.n. security council. leader of the trumpet ministration of posing sanctions on iran the un secretary general has already announced that intergovernmental organization will not or re imposing sanctions and what they're doing is essentially attempting to. muscle their way back into an agreement that they walked away from in demand sanctions although they have almost no support outside of israel and the coded pandemic as well as rising tensions in many corners of the globe all eyes will be on the u.n.

general assembly now tuesday not only is iranian president hassan rouhani and u.s. president donald trump expected to speak but we're also expecting to hear from russian president vladimir putin turkish head of state era one and french president mccraw speeches by heads of state are expected to continue throughout the week as this is the big week of the u.n. general assembly and of course held virtually this year due to pandemic and health concerns. for the world leaders to the world's richest one percent causing now we can report double the carbon pollution of hof the world's population according to a new york report the 25 year study found the mega wealthy's carbon budget was also higher than the entire population of the e.u. put together if left unchecked the water is the emissions would be enough to increase the earth temperature by one of the health degrees celsius in just the next decade and one of the report's authors warms the rich only getting rich to. we

said this is the result of government policies in most countries around the world that have seen over the last 20 to 30 years economic inequality really exploded we've also seen a focus on carbon intensive economic growth we also need to do more to reduce the outsized carbon footprint of the richest people and that means things like much higher taxes or luxury carbon consumption like big highly polluting cars frequent flights private jets the global rich are using up the carbon budget just in the process of getting even richer while the global poorest of humanity are barely increasing their incomes and their consumption at all and that's that's really the fundamental problem with the way that the economy

has worked over the last 20 to 30 years. and so brigadier to isn't it well that's just a snapshot of what we're talking about today so much else as well if you want to check it out look at our social media or our t. dot com for now exactly 26 minutes past the hour let me take those great what if you do it i'm kevin 0 in for me in the team have a good mom. cass calendar is drawing alfonzo in mongery darned this changing page changed art served our art. his 1st words were added i will see are a challenging post you got 2 years to live. i

have no doubt that what happened was criminal. offense concentrate market is a $1000000000.00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to sow these problems there are numerous documents showing that doctors work keen to cast facts right concentrates right in fits of its own that patients want gives them doctors the wrong choice to play golf terms or stomach why they would give me consecutive doses day. and people still die and i'm always question or so i tried being hard to live when so many have. is you'll be via 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 so. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. we're segregated. by social class. people also in poverty by 1st place if you're born into a poor family after born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has

a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die 15 years younger than if you're born into generational poverty. insofar as a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. will seem wrong all right old rules just don't call. me you world belief yet to shape our disdain becomes to advocate and in gains from an equal betrayal. when some many find themselves worlds apart when choose to look for common ground.

on. which. hi there i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know the stock market as a subset of the economy has undergone a transformation and become the plaything for speculators fueled by incredibly egregious money printing by a rogue central bank and this is causing all manner of dislocations malinvestment and societal changes for more let's turn to stacy herbert hey well you know what something that you predicted would happen is happening and it's coming true billionaires line up to take their companies private so what will robin herder's trade.
