hello there i'm in illinois and you're watching in question broadcasting from our new air as national news headquarters in washington d.c. here's tonight's top stories 1st up a calamity of the contradictions g. 7 powers meeting to counter china and russia while at the same time hoping to build a stronger ties with both countries our panel weighs in then venezuelan president nicolas maduro releasing a half a dozen american prisoners in the country could this act of mercy be a step toward the uber lation with washington details are next and finally a big win for fires or as the pharmaceutical giant killed in 1000 back scene is expected to be authorized for use on children could this mean back to school in the fall we'll discuss that all right it's time to boost your news i'm.

foreign ministers from the g. 7 nations are meeting in person in london england the objective is to lay down the groundwork for when g 7 leaders meet in the u.k. in june and from what we've seen so far we can expect a lot of talk about china and russia artie's alex smile which has the story. together but distanced for the 1st time in 2 years foreign ministers from g 7 nations are meeting this time in london well the covert 19 pandemic and climate change are expected to take up much of the agenda discussions about china and russia are also making the top of the list with the u.s. and u.k. taking the lead on this subject any country. china or otherwise takes actions that

challenge or undermine or seek to erode that rules based order and not make good on the commitments that they've made. to that order we will we will stand up and defend the order but what's going to change is russia's behavior again as a p 5 member of the security council against the basic norms of international law while some see the claims of veering from basic norms or hypocritical at best russia has called allegations from the west anti russian hysteria and china says the west is a bully nonetheless the push continues the u.k. has invited non g 7 allies such as australia south korea india and south africa to the meeting in what some say is an effort to rally the nations to create a united voice against china and russia say that said is both the u.s. and u.k. have emphasized that diplomacy is not an off the table very well and it is the preferred method to resolve the international issues but we are not looking to

escalate we would prefer to have a more stable more predictable relationship and if russia moves in that direction. so will we and i think president biden will have an opportunity when he meets with president putin. to talk about that directly how we we look to the opportunities we want a constructive relationship with china but on things whether it's intellectual property theft or standing up for human rights in hong kong mentioned john we see we're going to be very clear on our values and sources say that. one objective of the upcoming g. 7 summit is to counter the narrative that the west is in decline and that trying to add russia or getting geo political clout the g. 7 summit is scheduled to take place in the united kingdom next month for to you i'm alex my literature. and for more on this will go to our panel today a former professor now managing editor of covert action magazine and author of the

russians are coming again jeremy koos rob is joining us and host of news with rick sanchez mr rick sanchez jeremy 1st over to you in pretty plain language i think secretary of state tony blinken and his u.k. counterpart dominic rab said that the main goal for the g. 7 right now is to contain russia and china what can we extrapolate from that kind of rhetoric well one thing that's not widely being reported as too naval vessels have been sent into the black sea it has a blinking is slated to travel to ukraine with victoria nuland later in the week i believe so i mean is talking you know that we don't want war i mean that's seen as a very threatening action you know it's russia was sending ships into the gulf of mexico americans would be up in arms so i think we've seen you know a very aggressive stance towards russia as well as china that's

a very dangerous right now by the you know by ministration continuing from what's going on for at least the last 8 years and rick you have covered this sort of stuff for a long time i mean do you recall a time where the former g 8 that used to include russia would use this kind of language and how does that translate to the average joe who is hearing this kind of i guess tough talk on the news. you know it's interesting i like the way he was issuing that question because it makes me think of my own life and let's not let's face it i'm no spring chicken anymore so i've been around for quite a while throughout my life what i've seen is that when i was a very young man the world seemed to constantly be on the edge of war it was always a buck possibly starting a nuclear war and we all were being taught to duck and cover and then something wonderful happened and that is that there seemed to be some type of movement toward

peace between russia and the united states and china so that called war mentality has been dissipating throughout most of my life i'm 62 years old you know in the past oh who last decade i see you start to go in. the other direction it's almost like we're bracing. kind of being on the edge of nuclear proliferation like we suddenly embrace being in a cold war with countries who are reaching out to us and saying we want to be on her team and we were going to do that and they're cute right now but i'm here putin has offered to join nato he says why do you guys want to be against me i want to be a part of what you're doing and russia is not in the hall but what a country that offers an olive branch the least you can do is hear them out and we're living in a time in the united states beers or politics or something else where we don't want

to hear people are we've chosen that you're good or you're bad and that's the way it's going to stay and it's not going to change any time now or that's wrong now and jeremy also ahead of this trip to london tony blinken accuse china repression at home and aggression a bride now 1st of all is that true i mean given a lot of people can say that this is hypocritical thanks it's china who is working on economic prosperity projects like the new silk road and the last time i checked it wasn't china who invaded the middle east. yeah i mean if you look at you know xinjiang in the muslim issue i mean look at how the united states has dealt you know war on terror they bomb countries you know afghanistan the media barely reports on the human costs of the afghan war i mean china is not bombings in g.m. and you know it's it look in africa i mean chinese do a lot of infrastructure projects in africa and the united states has been building

drone bases and militarizing the african continent so you know it's just divorced from reality and if you look at human rights unfortunately the united states record has you know greatly to be desired whether it's the prison system here in the united states or whether it's u.s. action in country like afghanistan or iraq or libya so china china obviously sees a double standard with these comments and sees how human rights become very politicized and used just to mobilize public opinion against them and that's part of what rick was discussing this thrust towards confrontation and war when these are countries who express openness towards cooperation and toward working together to solve global problems which is what we should be doing well jeremy further to that i mean you hear people on capitol hill saying you know america shouldn't be a nation building but then you compare it to places like china like you said that are investing in infrastructure projects all around the world shouldn't america

probably do some nation building after much of our military has gone in to destroy those nations. well i think you know joe biden kind of woke up late there was a little conversation in january between joe biden and morris johnson where they joe biden said oh look at china's one belt one road we need our own one belt one road and it's kind of waking up late in the game but maybe they'll move in this direction you know and see that china's approach to the so-called developing world is a lot better that it brings benefit i mean you know china you know has some exploitive practices like in africa you know they have interests the mineral wealth. the same time they have you know helped to uplift various countries and economies and they won a lot of support and then africa and around the world and i think you know by then johnson realize that maybe now those sorts of sorts move in that direction instead of the u.s. and dating and bombing so many countries and building more you know drone bases

yeah absolutely rick secretary blinken is able to use the kind of language that we're hearing him say against china because he has the support of the u.s. mainstream media i mean everywhere you look china is being accused of genocide of the weavers with no physical evidence and as they say no body no crime so is this part of the u.s. playbook to continue the trump policy on china but under biden. one of the saddest things that's happening right now in this particular generation you're alluding to is that we're witnessing the mayans of journalists. in a surreal relationship with their governor that is what we are trying to do that is what we are supposed to do we are supposed to have a healthy at the serial leadership with the government of the united states we

haven't sailed in that mission instead what we have become is. the us media chooses its government rather than questioning its government the only time they question it is if they're doing it for ideological reasons based on their particular identity i am a sunday see question the republican president fox news will question the democratic president but neither one is really questioning for the sake of what's healthy for our country in other words there was a time when journalism in america meant that if we thought a car country was doing something wrong these are the vietnam era we question the actions of the nothing we said to our own government you're wrong and i want you to prove to us why you're doing what you're doing today and anyone that we go into has a good war and enemy that our leaders say isn't their enemy we just say ios are ok

i guess there are adamant that's wrong and they're giving them carte blanche to do what they're doing and it's all agreed when they know that the media is not going to hold them to account for these politicians or run amok well put gentlemen care because rob and rick sanchez thank you both for weighing in. thank you. and then as well as released a group of american oil executives from prison 3 years after being incarcerated on charges including corruption and money laundering now there really is potentially signals a possible attempt by nicolas maduro to reach out to the biden administration argues john how he has more. the so-called citgo 6 have been released from prison in venezuela more than 3 years after being arrested all 6 have been confined to house arrest at least for now anyway 5 of the former oil executives are naturalized u.s. citizens and one is a permanent u.s. resident back in november 2017 the executives were ordered to attend

a budget meeting at the headquarters of the venezuelan state oil company p d.v.s. a which on sicko when they arrived mass security agents then jumped and arrested the men they were charged with corruption money laundering and embezzlement among other things all of which they denied the u.s. has repeatedly called for their release saying they were jailed unlawfully back in 2019 the 6 men were also released and confined to house arrest but were thrown back in jail the very same day when vend president trump invited venezuelan opposition leader juan why dode to the white house this latest release is being seen as a goodwill gesture by nicolas maduro to the biden administration as it reviews america's policies towards venezuela but as of now washington doesn't appear to be easing u.s. sanctions on the beleaguered country venezuela continues to struggle economically with cove in 1000 pandemic only making matters worse before the pandemic exacerbated venezuela's already fledgling economy the u.s.

sent humanitarian aid there but it was stopped at the colombian border a new report by the inspector general at the u.s. agency for international development raises doubts however if the aid was driven by venezuela's humanitarian needs as the country was gripped by mass demonstrations and violent protests or more so a u.s. push for a change in venezuela's government the report reads to address urgent humanitarian needs and restore democratic governance to venezuela the u.s. government's key foreign policy goals were to one support why doe's legitimacy as the interim president of venezuela and to increase pressure on model. to step down as president accordingly usa prioritised aid to the venezuelan people in coordination with the interim president the report may not come as too much of a surprise though as the tribune ministration adamantly supported why do the question now will the biden ministration stay on the same political course for are to john. on the breaking news this evening the attorney for former

cool and sue i believe the no pussy is with tom after barbara barbara gould listed make a plan on how to play me off there in the store when i found the network that opened . over to the latest over 90 numbers now worldwide those cases topping 153000000 with about 3000000 reported deaths the u.s. is still leading the way with the most confirmed cases about 32000000 here followed by india and then brazil and here stateside that death toll havering at about 577000. meanwhile the u.s. is about to expand its vaccination campaign to millions more people the f.d.a. is expected to authorize pfizer vaccines for kids aged 12 to 15 years old as early

as next week and while this announcement isn't sitting well with many parents as trinity travels tells us there's another group of americans choosing to opt out of covert shots today vaccinations for teens and children on the horizon the u.s. food and drug administration such to authorize emergency use of the pfizer vaccine for an ally since ages 12 to 15 as early as next week a move that would make some middle and all high schoolers eligible to get vaccinated in the u.s. something experts say would be a big step in raising immunity levels across the country pfizer recently announcing the trial results showing the vaccine is highly effective for that age group possibly even more than for adults according to pfizer at the end of march a clinical trial involving 226012 to 15 year olds showed 100 percent efficacy and as well tolerated the f.d.a. now reviewing that data if it's approved the centers for disease control and prevention would hold an emergency meeting and issue recommendations the

announcement comes as health officials are worried axion hesitancy could make reaching herd immunity in the u.s. difficult if not impossible there are concerns now amplified as new data indicates children in this country represent 22 percent of new cases reported in this past week alone according to the c.b.s. . see the average number of covert 1000 vaccines given per day in the u.s. fell 27 percent from a high of 3260000 on april 11th to 2370000 last tuesday a shocking report by the washington post found that the number of police officers getting vaccinated is lower or about the same as the general public in las vegas 39 percent of the employed police officers in the metropolitan police department have received at least one dose compared to the more than 50 percent of eligible adults nationwide meantime in atlanta 36 percent of sworn officers have been vaccinated while ohio's largest police force the columbus division a mere 28 percent of those employed reported receiving a shot and despite

a massive effort by the pentagon to promote safety and efficacy of cope in $1000.00 vaccines the u.s. military's opt out rate is about 33 percent well nearly 40 percent of u.s. marines are declining coded vaccinations reporting in new york. and here to discuss you know him simply as dr bob dr bob are not is here he's an infectious disease expert in new york times best selling author his most recent book the youth's which is out now dr bob good to see you as always before we tackle the subject of pfizer so likely to get this ok to be used on adolescent kids i'd like to 1st ask about this sudden drop in coded vaccine demand what do you attribute that to. there's a very good new in the journal of medicine article on this and a few things 1st of all there are states that open up to everybody early so there's sort of you know one and done secondly there are states to be very efficient like north dakota where you know a lot of people through new hampshire also has done

a spectacular job there and in their states is special rural states really just can't get the interest and what's interesting is so states like mississippi that have a poor public health to begin with and nothing particularly good at being able to you know babson aid their populations but i think you know the most interesting thing you know just listen to rick sanchez there is the trouble the news media and that is that people don't trust the news media and honestly trust the government they trust their local doctor so ministrations a very interesting new tack that they're taking instead of going to mass vaccinations stadiums to try to get a color exit doctor's offices in trying to get your local doctor to convince you that these vaccines are good for you so interesting that people just don't trust the media fortunately i believe you actually mentioned that on this very show saying that it should go out to the local doctors because the doctors know the patients the best better than these mass vaccination sites right. well it's

a good point i know because you know the local doctor also knows him you compromise even particularly so they get cancer treatment is there a need for this and i think that they can convince locals they need you know you know hard as drag people in to get their vaccines are you supposed to get a flu shot most people get it so it has been difficult and they're trying to push it down there but surely important you increase because we're not going to help her immunity you know this new thinking yesterday will may never have it we may have over there will continue control italy for years ago well as for cancer getting the code vaccine and we several questions here 1st if can't seem to tend not to catch coded in the 1st place the same way that adults do and if and when they do catch it they don't tend to have the severe symptoms as adults do so why vaccinate kids. well there is a great question very important question so 1st of all they get incredibly sick and

die there's not a lot of there's a sentiment some multi-day fill out a choice and grow which is tragic they were going about this we did a piece. for the response task force on boston and it's horrifying for parents to watch about a lot enough to be very very concerned about secondly with all these various here than you could have a reservoir of the children where they do get the disease in they're able to take these variants who are more of these variants the most interesting thing is what happened to those kids when they could visit their grandparents so they have you know as they go and it was their grandparent a grandparent may have been actually and remember so 80 percent of the very best are 65 you have a new variance where it's less effective so i think it's for i have an 8 year old 5 year i'm seeing on the year before and i'm very excited about this because you know we're not going to socialize go on occasion work to do anything until he's safe because while people are already up and party going to restaurants so they think

that it's game over it really is a game over especially when one project these kids very concerned is over yup yours will indeed it sounds all around for what they don't celebrate yet right lastly speaking of kids will this mean back to school phase then like normal come this fall or will this ball score here be a little different in the classroom. what's really good question so for adolescents in high school though be vaccinated sooner we're pretty sure that we've actually i think high schools we sort of actually normal great schools depending on where you get them back so you are supposed to be q one now they've moved it up i'm inviting arbuckle schools here a number schools quite a bit in terms of looking at all the different safety measures i think will change just less of the clean scrubbing less than him washing because we know cope with largely isn't spread that way and i think that mask it still makes sense the key thing is the russian federation and russian thing then is to ensure that they think

we miss year is every time people walk in to go it's all red zone in terms of the amount of virus in there and listen it's fantastic i'm like right thank you dr bob are not as always for the expert advice get regular since thanks so much want to say to. let's head over to regina ham at the sports h.q. now regina it was a battle of 2 champions at the deputy a madrid open it was and they both were french open champion they got a chance to be on the court at the madrid open and only one to walk away is the winner were iran ashleigh barty face off against 2020 french open champion. and while both players came to the match on clay streaks well one is going to leave the other in her clay does barty with the serve the advantage and center was the point of the killer backhand returns before you go up by one game later in the set well them play in the baseline bar to go for a missile there for the point to make it worth more in question that everyone thought that exist 2nd that breakpoint here barty with us allies of the baseline
