beutler no talking to diversity 'd the b.b.c.'s diversity chief no less is claim white privilege in britain is still roy if june sarpong who is black out it even the white working class is in a better situation the middle close people from ethnic minority but grows there is unfairness big to now system and while the elite white male is of the top of the tree even the white working class has an advantage over people from black and asian backgrounds critics have pointed out may not be ideally placed there to comment on the lack of privilege considering she gets the large sum of $75000.00 pounds a year from b.b.c. for just 3 days' work a week people the streets of london media analyst john gaunt whether she was right to speak out. everyone's entitled to an opinion like no matter what like demographic they are so i think she's definitely entitled to her opinion i don't think her income defines that. she makes a few 1000 years serling cyrano right right. but we do.
2:14 am
wish you would understand but see she's doing that well now. but we don't know what kind of allowing she might thanks making plenty of time activities that to me are you know people who are there to avoid her children if it's really distorted. more often it's from people who you know there isn't that much you might if you like you can trace that someone to such a high earning like we thank god it's just out of the race come calling for that so when people get injured they don't understand the journey going sam came from so it's a lack of knowledge when they are in disconnecting and thinking yes this person jesus money but we don't know her journey so you can even do that i don't think june has got any right to criticize people on this there is a whole group of people not just in the b.b.c.

sensitivity to world events of markets we're seeing anywhere except here on mitt welcome back. 17 often is policy out of what's in the cloak of mourning in the u.s. we're already getting a glimpse of maybe how things might shape up when joe biden takes office in january now it's been revealed that the brother of one of biden's closest advisors has secured a low being contract with online john. jeffreys shetty registered to lobby for amazon just off the presidential election his brother steve formally low biggest himself will soon serve as a top white house counselor well sources close to the siblings insist though they
2:18 am
will not mix family and business. jeff has never and will never lobby his brother on behalf of any of his clients and see have had no role in his brother's business since he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 stephen jeff keep their professional activities distinctly separate. we spoke to lee rivera from online news outlet reaction times dog coleman believes the lobbying post those far from a coincidence. of course there's going to be conversations that take place between the brothers regarding amazon's interest in the fact that you know one of the brothers that has a direct line into the president but this is something you know the the institution of lobbying is something that's going to come under fire and under more scrutiny because it's joe biden as president and we already know all that you know it's out there what hunter biden has done internationally we even have the progress of within joe biden's only already looking deeper into the situation in addition to
2:19 am
republicans watching the activities of the biden in ministration in regard to lobbying the progressive side are you know the elizabeth warren's and even in the house the whole season people like that or already keeping an eye on what the activities are between the by the administration when any incoming hire if it may be formally also worked in the lobbying. politicians world wide have called on people to stay home in the new year break to avoid sparking yet another fresh wave of covert infections as a tease to me to poke reports it's that time of year that wishes are meant to come true a particular one being that 2021 is going to kick over it in the cab at the time of year when we all come together and celebrate the best way to celebrate new year is not celebrated at all we can't risk putting the country under weeks of restrictions
2:20 am
because of just one night. christmas has ended and everyone's in panic mode over a possible 3rd wave of infections several countries have already imposed maximum restrictions for austrian israel it's round 3 of lock down this is a chance to avoid the food where you would lose do everything we can so that it does not he does as with visits and if isolation at home wasn't bad enough code has apparently evolved seemingly 1st detected in the u.k. and the mutation has spread from the americas so asia while countries shut their borders to british travelers hundreds already on skiing holiday in switzerland apparently gave the authorities and corrine seen the slip. many of them stayed in quarantine for a day before they left a notice on the cover of darkness it was when they saw the military's remains untouched that the hotel leaders noticed that the customers had gone but if you do
2:21 am
decide to celebrate this year there are some key rules to follow if the exam has done so as that with you do it should drinks with those is the new year kisses and hugs should only be shared with those in your immediate family and if you are thinking of catching some fireworks don't even bother going out it's all restricted cancelled or moving online. but despite all the warnings and restrictions health officials don't seem to think any of it will actually prevent people from doing what they always do if you put
2:22 am
more pressure on the system by what might be a post seasonal surge because of the travelling and the likely congregating of people it's very tough for people to not do that whether you stay home this new year's eve or celebrate it with family and friends apparently 2021 might get a lot worse before it gets better bear in mind the news new strain of corona virus has been found in sweden now in a woman who recently returned from the u.k. it comes as the swedish government servants a bill to impose a strict lockdown if passed by parliament authorities could shut down businesses and find anyone floating the rules it marks a big break from the country's hands off approach which the government admits was a failure. they make galbally very serious situations the government may decide on more far reaching measures to prevent crowding that would include the closure of shops public transport shopping centers or are they to it is covered by the law the hunt lot or we are talking about certain types of trading places where the risk of
2:23 am
spreading the disease is assessed as high and where there is a lot of crowding so it has approached the pandemic had differed from most countries that relied on voluntary social distancing while avoiding sweeping lockdowns public life pretty much remained largely unaffected and move criticised over neighboring countries or even shut their borders in response to further swedish professors and doctors for human rights believes new restrictions are essential. there was from the beginning to protect the economy business and of course. industry etc going to be enormous. they will not be drawn to to close the schools because in that case they're 25 percent of all the labor force will be temporary last forced sort of study aiming to protect your economy there are not to say most no if you don't do it look down on it strictly measures it's the only way to at least try to do. both
2:24 am
morbidity and mortality produced by these failures you will solve this situation with more and more measures you need to and i was trying to offer a strategy that you need to qualitative change here and not into an over strategy rule to mean in especially in the basin not name it to suit economy but to save lives i mean it should be you know it has to be a human rights. perspective and they will think you know if we're here to do the same. i'm sorry to report something else to worry about to the overuse of antibiotics not a new warning though to fight cove it could accelerate the spread of so-called superbugs the world health organizations highlighted the significant rise in gonorrhea a sexually transmitted bacteria warning it could become incurable and the microbial resistance may not seem as
2:25 am
a pandemic but it is just as dangerous it threatens to unwind a century of medical progress and live virus defenseless against infections that today can be treated easily antibiotics used for gonorrhea have been given out to treat inflammatory symptoms following covert infection is the problem it's reportedly allowed other bacteria to build resistance along the way creating super bugs that could become untreatable we talked to leading just about the over use of such medicines. a mattress is not stupid. and or a bacteria is not stupid it gets no it gets used to a certain antibiotic treatment a regimen that this problem of antibiotic resistance has been around and has been increasing over the years we now depend on because well and for sure what the pentagon's done is that the patients don't go to the doctor anymore because they're scared of going to the doctor because thinking if you do it if they go to the
2:26 am
hospital or if they do go for example to a doctor's office they may get a virus because obviously patients will be sitting there this is a wrong assumption if asians are saying it should still go to the doctor does is very important secondly i think we should still be careful about resistance in general and this same remedy that we had a year ago or 2 years ago is still true today don't use antibiotic the problem of resistance is to over use of antibiotics for irrelevant or minor infections and this is the problem this is the problem it was 2 years ago and is still a problem today if you were to read it more and check out our web site so you'll find so many more of our other stories there as well or any of our social media as well and of course if you don't know the rapidly breaking news will come straight to your mobile device but running out of breath that's it for me kevin i would for this hour with more in half an hour season's greetings and have a great day. l.
2:27 am
look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point of view see is to create a trance as one of the shia. playing with artificial intelligence where some of the. obama must protect this coexistence with existed. when i was a child small seemed wrong but old roles just don't call. me the world is
2:28 am
yet to shape our disdain to come to educate and indeed train because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. an entire village in alaska. if another country threaten the wife of an american. we do everything i. want to the escaping climate change this is the same threat right. alaska some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world lost about 30 feet. 30 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. this the river is 30. closer.
2:29 am
to. the earth or i think we're part of the 1st from. greetings and salutation. welcome back my friends from quite the fitting end to the 2020 holiday season and while most of us were forced to stay at home in lockdown stuffing ourselves with christmas candy while watching bill murray get clobbered by the ghost of christmas past present and future well it was the united states congress were beall their their inner scrooge this christmas as the world sat back in horror as they watched our elected officials here in the us quibble and fight over just how small of an amount of financial help $600.00 or $1200.00 that
2:30 am
they felt they could get away with giving us citizens and still come across as well . you know. human beings by the time for the next election cycle i'm talking of course about the holiday battle over the paltry size of the covert stimulus checks yes the literal so. wraps from the congressional budget terry table that have lawmakers in such a tizzy this holiday season and despite united states president donald trump's initial threat to veto the $900000000000.00 coded stimulus bill drawing exasperated sloppy wet breaths from mitch mcconnell and the rest are brand name and she eventually relented and signed the bill late sunday night but not even that debacle could stop members from congress from continuing to show their true colors the extent of marco rubio who on sunday unleashed his inner trumpets here on dr anthony .
