international exporters and should get international deals 'd you do need some travel the further restrictions would of course further damage the economy. as it's being proposed should really include a very detailed analysis of all the costs and all the benefits well let's look at that 1st before we further consider the polls. next tonight a woman in the u.s. state of virginia has received death threats online and on the phone after revealing that her husband supports donald trump. her photo on facebook of her husband and friends getting ready to go to trump's last rally as president within hours she was bombarded by messages accusing her of being a domestic terrorist and threatening her with physical violence she's been sharing her story with us. somebody got ahold of that picture off my personal page and i'd imagine somebody that. knows me inside. him in about 5 o'clock

demanding the truth about covert deaths in nursing homes after an official report revealed the statistics didn't reveal the full picture we have to make sense of this we have to get the full truth and we have to make sure it never ever happens again nothing like this happens again and we have to be honest about the numbers this is down to a poll from the new york attorney general that concluded that care home deaths between march and november last year were undercounted by as much as 50 percent is kind of morbid now explained. the nursing home scandal hanging over new york state governor andrew cuomo is head just won't go away a new report from the state's attorney general indicates that deaths in the elderly care homes could actually be 50 percent higher than was originally reported that's up to 13000 lives lost in new york it only tallied up the number who actually died within elderly care facilities not including those who went to the hospital after

getting infected as the pandemic in their investigations continue it is imperative that understand why the residents of nursing homes in new york and the saudis suffered at such an alarming rate well we cannot bring back the individuals who lost to this crisis this report seeks to offer transparency that the public deserves and to spare increased action to protect our most vulnerable residents the report singled out while most decision to send covert patients to elderly care homes it was an attempt to free up hospital space that may have cost 4800 new york the lives cuomo is office dismissed the report as an accurate the word on the count implies to remove total fatalities than has been reported this is factually wrong the department of health has consistently made clear that our numbers are reports based on the place of death those words are of little comfort to sabah a local news media or ologist lost both of her in-laws last summer and she couldn't hold back her feelings

a family was affected and i wasn't seeing the coverage i wasn't seeing the questions being asked of this governor he continued to pass the blame on everyone else democrats and republicans have now lined up to condemn cuomo reports for new york state's handing of crude 19 in nursing homes reveals a profound failure of executive leadership governor cuomo and the new york state department of health cheating our elders as expandable as if their lives were nothing more than the cost of doing business this is shocking and unconscionable but not surprising our governor actually real. a book about leadership in the middle of the curve the 19 pandemic but as we learned today and as many suspected he never told the whole story at the start of the pandemic mainstream us media poured the law on to governor andrew cuomo for is handling of the pandemic in new york state but now it seems pretty clear that he made a bad decision and the media's darling is facing a full blown scandal ala mop and artsy new york 'd. we go reaction from dave

lindorff who's the editor of the new site this company has been and also richard muller who's the executive director of long term care community coalition. my mother in law died of covidien a new jersey nursing home which was doing the same thing where you know the state was shifting people out of hospitals in new jersey into nursing homes and then presenting those nursing homes which are much lower staffed and much less good at infection control than hospitals are and not surprisingly the disease spread rights for them they didn't but the eliza nursing homes their risk however i don't think that they required nursing homes to take in residence with coping it probably led to more people being taken in and should have gone and but it was very clear the long standing federal requirements are that nursing aunts can only accept only
1:12 pm
accept residents if they have been staffing and the supplies necessary in the us because the government until very recently would not subsidize. any home care for the elderly the nursing home industry which is mostly for profit has lobbied very intensively with a lot of money to politicians in every state to not provide decent funding for in home care of your elderly parents a lack of accountability when residents are abused even when a state inspector goes in and finds violations the nursing home don't pay a fine or have any penalty so that's part of the problem and i think not having a really strong minimum staffing level standards in this country and in new york state also exacerbated the problem and there is almost no financial accountability

in this country for how you nursing homes use the monies that they receive and that's something that is becoming increasingly clear. china's announced that it will no longer recognize british national overseas passport issued to hong kong residents the u.k. it earlier said the i.d.'s would pave the way for millions in its former colony to move to britain a move the beijing blasted as meddling in its internal affairs. this will only end up hurting britain's own interests no forces under whatever circumstances can erode the determination of the chinese government and the chinese people to uphold national sovereignty and security safeguard hong kong's prosperity and stability and oppose external intervention. under the new rules coming into force next sunday the passport holders can live study and work in the u.k. for 5 years after which they can apply for citizenship the new scheme was heavily backed by prime minister boris johnson i'm immensely proud that we have brought in

this new route for hong kong british national overseas prosperous to live work and make their home in the country in doing so we have our there is our profound ties of history and friendship with the people of hong kong and we have stood up for freedom and autonomy values both the u.k. and hong kong hold dear. plans emerged in july in response to chinese legislation giving beijing greater powers over hong kong subsequent riots over the law led to dozens of arrests london accused beijing of breaching its pledge in hong kong 1907 and to maintain key liberties and autonomy for 50 years britain argues it's got a moral duty to protect its former subjects we spoke with benjamin professor for asian programs at the paris business school he thinks hong kong those who choose to move to the u.k. unlikely to be disappointed. it is a very tricky issue. china is such a long ousting civilization. a common it's common between the hong kong people and

also the chinese citizens. where for their goal chinese emberg rated 2 other countries would become more patriotic in many states indeed many emigrated only backed to china after a few years and years we've broken dreams and fantasies of the west themselves being treated as a 2nd class citizen and many opportunities. they have lost even china's rapid development china is much stronger and prosperous it was. 30 years ago you go to china a specially the bay area the part of china you experience that it is perhaps $100.00 times. in that part of the u.k. so i think people would. expect there's going to side with the.

here without so you got to have you with us this saturday still ahead mass protests poland over its near total ban on abortions but our next story when we come back.
1:17 pm
stocks bonds commodities currencies everywhere you look in the world you have price discovery is broken and the ability to make markets has been shattered because access to free money is now ubiquitous and virtually instant. hello again poland has been gripped by 4 nights of street protests against an e a total ban all abortions which took effect on wednesday and warsaw thousands marched to the headquarters of the ruling lauren justice party to find pandemic restrictions critics say the new law violates women's rights was forced on the country without public support and some a demanding action from the. what other burden falls on the doctors who have to
1:18 pm
make a very difficult choice they can be brave in saying that no statement changes of the law you can continue to do abortions and back east there will be sued by the state and we will help them but this is happening inside a pretty madness it's scary and there was think is that back to the european union the new european community doesn't do anything to help us move there is a don't want to leave balance because it's my country and i don't want someone to push me out i'm going to fight for the country's future as long as i have strength and the hope that things will change. with a new law bans even terminations due to incurable diseases or risks to the baby's health it means 90 percent of previously illegal abortions have now been criminalized and a punishable by prison time the law now only allows terminations due to rape incest or a risk to the mother's life the amendments were passed by poland's constitutional tribunals last october but needed 3 months to take effect due to the scale of public

opposition it's been condemned by brussels which says the bowling puts women's lives at risk the e.u. accuses the government of keeping pressure on judges to pass the decision and called it a sign of the collapse of the rule of law in the country but poland's top court insists it's just asserting the right to life the constitutional court once again affirmed that a person has the right to life from the moment of conception human life has the same value before birth as when a person is young and adult or elderly the polish legal system is built on that basis abortion means taking a child's life the eugenic premises for the killing of the unborn violate that constitutional basis. and discuss the near total ban on abortions and the response with campaigners and academics. poland is doing is turning the tide on the barbarism of the rest of the world the rest of europe and saying we're going to value life no matter how intimate how disabled it may be we're going to probably
1:20 pm
with some treasure it and look after it's the best of our intention and credit to poland i think poland is going to lead the way almost to the tranquil term of the rest of europe as well as a result you know i clearly am in a very different position to these gentlemen because i understand the human cost of these laws and the idea that this law is going to stop abortion is ludicrous it's going to start seeing abortions and it's going to start abortions for people who don't have financial means my feeling is that abortion should be a decision between the pregnant person and a medical professional and everybody else can have whatever views they would like to have around math. you know.
1:21 pm
