governments are skewed in favor of the rich dwell for the world's 10 riches men has doubled. since the pandemic began the income of 99 percent of humanity, a worse off because of coven 19. this is not by chance, but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct. com to us all the time they make has really expose been all it is and fuel them. so awesome has been tracking billionaire wealth for some time. and of course the full list shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years. but over the last 2 years, it's been really exponential, so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 99 percent of humanity, it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as a result of the and then of course, more than a 160000000 people have fallen into poverty during this time. and if in
2:03 pm
a moment when you can see the difference is really showing very, very starkly, can't cause success. when there is such disparity, that at one end of the spectrum, you have people who have more wilson, they can spend in several lifetime. and at the other, we have people struggling to pay their next health bill or, or not knowing where the next meal is coming from. having such a level of disparity affects everyone, even the wealthiest, because you know it's a sign of unhealthy state of affairs, of a unhealthy society that needs addressing. now, according to walk, found upon them exposed to more than a 160000000 people into poverty. while an estimated 70000000 they lead have died from corona virus and around 6000000 more have lost their lives due to a lack of health care in poor countries. in while the top 10 people on forbes is rychlik, including well known public figures such as mosque shift, base off, and bill gates have 6 times more money than the poor. 3000000000 combined. while
2:04 pm
they doubled their wealth, the incomes of 99 percent of the wells population was and since the public began a new 1000000000 has been created roughly every day or some believe the key reasons for such an equality is vaccine supply. one of those key drivers for inequality has been a vaccine access to vaccines. so the difference between rich and poor countries has grown the quality so, and the poor countries in africa, in general is only 10 percent of the population has had his 1st course of vaccination america. and it's economic power and several other countries in the world can help reverse that from unlocking that and from the calculations that, that we have made. it would be possible, for example, to vaccinate the whole world to achieve and health care for all the universal health care and their ways and ok, and others have campaign for lifting those intellectual property rights. that in
2:05 pm
fact, mean that pharmaceutical have a monopoly over over the vaccines that are not readily available or produced as, as, as, as they could all over the world. the home birth attendant had explained how a push for using only inclusive language in the u. s. has impacted her job, is what mild in, so she was advised not to use the was mother or woman. instead say the buffing body . we no longer use words like woman and mother irving bodies, sperling people for the person many straighter, new york midwife speaks out against trans madness. after being forced to use woke terms for women in labor. every one knows that there are only 2 sexes, men and women, and only women give birth. and the irony of, of being asked to deny the fact that only women give birth in this face just is, is, is hysterical in some sense, because we're only,
2:06 pm
they're like we're only there to serve women because this is an issue specific to women, right? trans friendly environment affects more than language. with many trans doctor's allowed to hide that biological sex. it's an issue to have medical professionals who are male pretending to, to be women, inserting themselves literally into the insides of women's bodies. and i've had women who have shown up to gynecological and done a lot hope and obstetric appointments, thinking they're going to see a woman, a practitioner, and it, and it's a man and you don't want a fan day, but you're already in a, you've already taken off your pants. many health professionals don't support the agenda, raising craze, but these views can get you in trouble. this ideology is authoritarian in it. if
2:07 pm
you question even one part, whether it be the kids or women sports, you were instantly deemed trans phobic. i get messages and emails from women all over the world regularly coming out with their telling me their stories that they can't speak out or they feel like they can't speak out or they were ostracized. or, you know, like yoga teachers. ah, you know, just getting bullied for not the pronoun thing. i mean, it is everywhere. they are not free to speak. they are not given an open forum, they are locked out quicker than you can say. trans ideology. now just dave's office taking office, virginia me republican governors dismantling democrat policies counseling a school lost my life and binding critical race theory from the curriculum. but this, we think there is a revoking of barrels of criticism as kayla more than explains. so there's a new state of pace in the united states. politics seems to be moving forward at
2:08 pm
full speed ahead. we have the new governor of virginia has been sworn in on saturday and his 1st day in office, he signed 11 executive orders. now the 2 most critical were one removing a mask mandate in public schools and another, getting rid of the teaching and critical race theory in public schools. now the move around the mask mandates sparked quite a bit of backlash. one mother spoke up saying that she was happy that the public school where her daughter attends as maintaining the mask mandate despite the governor's move. that mother also happened to be the white house spokesperson. thank you to arlington, public schools for standing up for our kids. teachers and administrators and their safety in the midst of a transmissible variant school divisions across virginia are rejecting glen youngins dangerous anti science executive action and keeping mask requirements in schools to ensure the health and safety of k 12 students in the commonwealth. now
2:09 pm
school officials in arlington, virginia, fairfax, and alexandria all said that they are going to maintain their mask mandate despite the governors move. now the governor had campaigned on the policy of empowering parents to have more impact on the decisions regarding the education of their children and public schools. so he decided to give school districts 8 days to listen to parents concerns and reconsider. well, 1st of all, we wrote the order specifically to give all of the school systems basically 8 days to get ready to listen to parents. now the 2nd pivotal issue was on the teaching of critical race theory. in virginia's public schools, there is a revolt against the way our schools have been managed comprehensively. and critical race theory is a big part of the critical race theory is a political agenda that as absolutely in our schools. and it teaches everyone view everything through a lens of race and then pits our children against one another. yes,
2:10 pm
we will teach all history the good and the bad, but to actually teach our children that one group is advantage than another is disadvantaged simply because of the color of their skin cuts across everything we know to be true. now this moves sparked a wave of online backlash with many saying there was no problem to begin with and it critical race theory is a legitimate part of education in the state. critical race theory isn't in the virginia k 12 curriculum and lifting a mask mandate in schools is foolish. they know perfectly well that c r t isn't on the curriculum, but they're using it just like masks and vaccine as a way for their rhetoric and action to see more palatable. the p t. a have become radicalized recruitment centers. as a republican, i am sick of you already. virginia never taught critical race theory. you banned nothing. now your stupidity is spreading cove it in schools that will end the lives of more stupid republicans. why do you hate god in america? are you a fascist?
2:11 pm
now it's important to note, virginia has been pretty solidly in the democratic parties camp for the last decade . and the new governor who signed all these executive orders on his 1st day only one by roughly 2 percent. so. busy we're looking at the state of virginia, a historically blue state that now seems to have a red governor on the state leadership as example of how the united states remains divided in these times. it's pretty clear that virginians don't see eye on some rather critical issues for involving the schools where their children learn why there's been another update on the often inflamed relationship between harry potter author, jacob rolling and members of the transgender community police in scotland, our stable now not take any action over a tweet, bon actually that revealed vollings home address. at the time of the post, the writer wrote this response to the front company. they should have reflected on
2:12 pm
the fact that i've never received semi death threats. i could paper the house with them and haven't stopped speaking out. with a post she's responding to included trends acts of a standing by her house holding signs with slogans such as trends. liberation now though deleted, it was immediately re posted with our home information available for all, for se rolling. so she's been targeted for speaking up for women's sex both right. and people will quick to point out their parent double standards in the police is decision not to charge the campaigners i wonder why no actions being taken. i'd assume it's because for kyra the food chain i trans support us and don't want to upset the apple cart. the fact her address or anyone to just be posted on line without knowledge or consent is wrong regardless of why it's a violation of safety. doc saying is illegal and it doesn't matter if you delete the content a few hours later makes you wonder what the police are playing it, cherry picking what is lawful, depending on who is complaining. she used to pander to those people,
2:13 pm
even changing the sexuality of characters, to please them. she played working mental gymnastics and slipped up, and then the mob turned on her. it is quite surprising. they're not taking any kind of action, although you see this is a very much a gray area where the galaxy is difficult to prove. and in this particular case, i believe the, the police were reviewed the circumstances clearly with the lawyers and decided that there wasn't any legality that we have now a situation in the u. k. and other countries where people don't believe the others have a right to have a view, and this is the side of this an opposing view to them. and i think that's quite disgusting and, and you know this, well, it's good, well end up in some form of prosecution for someone should cause harassment apps. and i believe that she has said that she said, all sorts of problems since then. so individuals of committed harassment afterwards
2:14 pm
may well end up being guilty of crimes about class. again, rolling began in 2020 after she questioned headline about people who menstruate by claiming the meaning of the word woman had been lost. some twitter you this took that to me and she was saying transgender men and women should have fewer rights. vertical common data under walker says you can police and only willing to go to crimes when it suits them. any police force that equality can do more or less investigation. i refer you back to the case of the scottish comedian, but taught his dog or his wife's dog how to do hitler salutes in order to prevent a joke. they are perfectly willing to put it in the resources when it suits them, but they're not willing to put in the resources when it doesn't suit that police. scotland will be perfectly happy with j. k. rowling being intimidated, perfectly happy without being harassed and will take actually no action to defend time because they don't agree with that. politically. my comment is next. j. k.
2:15 pm
rowling is going to be, she can afford security. what about the rest of breton to have these highly political police force is highly political. police leaders, police under political control, what politician, fellow, who to prosecute when that is a danger not to j. k. rowling because she's rich and powerful. so ordinary people like, you know, make the prime suspects in the hospital setting at a texas synagogue had previously been investigated by you already as a potential is limited terrorist. would you tell them that after the break? ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally,
2:16 pm
i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk when you step out the the big aspects to the c p i number the actual place number is exactly what we said. months ago, it's 50 people's purchasing power is degrading. 15 percent wages might be up 3 or 4 percent, but inflation now 15 percent. so net met, people are losing really losing out. and it's a problem that is intractable because the central bank has a problem that they can rectify. they can't, if they were going to raise rates, they've been to rectify this problem. they would have done so already. the reason they're not doing that was because they simply can't raise right there is a cure for this. this is now the beginning of a hyper inflationary collapse. the money
2:17 pm
ah, welcome back. a british man and sick full people, hostage at a synagogue in the us state of texas, that the weekend was previously flag while utah thought his moloch fi saw a chrome had been seen as a potential islamist terrorists during the 2020 investigation by burtons and my 5 intelligence agency, you can authorities though determined to pose no threat at that time. he was left on record as a positive interest, but was able to fly to the u. s. on boy a farm there. it appears that you get a thirties hadn't laid any of their concerns about him to the american count above before the attack or the lead perpetrator was killed after an 11 hour stand off at the synagogue in cali. vill a suburb of dallas. all the hostages survived, felice in england have attained to teenagers as part of the ongoing investigation into the attack. my colleagues and spoke to a former and my father intelligence officer, who said the incident resulted from
2:18 pm
a failure on both sides of the atlantic is a failure to level one is that and i 5, did drop the investigation to him and it might well have been because he was seen to have mental health issues rather than a terrorist to contention. but the other m astonishing things. my perspective is the fact that he was allowed into the states as well, with a string of convictions and with his mental health issues. in the background and you know, the u. k. u s homeland security act is supposed to be the, precisely to blog people coming in to the us on these grounds. so it's not just my fault, i think, although i do think we have a problem one in the ship holding misinformation, that guessing, shave, holding the people they have to investigate. but for the us also to have allowed him in, not have called out the u. k. and said, this man's got convictions all over the place. we can't let him in and send a mag noticing that when you read into it that he was able just to get a gun. lethal weapon without being on any authorities watch list at all. that just
2:19 pm
shows an absolute value on every front face, the intelligence agencies in the u. k. the border security usa, the policing security in the usa as well. and i think, you know, it's great now that we can pinpoint what happened, what went wrong in this case. but that's not how our intelligence agencies based in the usa and the case working. they are there to preemptively gather intelligence, to preemptively stop the sort of terrorist attacks. not just have information that could be used and be useful after an attack. that's what the police are going to do . so why do we spend all this money on all, incredibly invasive intelligence agency, if they are letting these old people sit between the cracked time after time after time? not just in the u. k, or the u. s. a but across europe as well as the last 7 years. are you confident lessons have been learned as to what happened over the weekend? or are we going to see further instance other crimes happening if there is what seems to be on the said such
2:20 pm
a weak communication between the u. k. and us authority, i am sure they will say the lessons. and what that will mean in reality is that they will probably scoop up and share even more and increasingly invasive communication technologically. and they will say to protect all of us against terrorism. whereas in fact, if they did the job properly preemptively to target and stop potential terrorists rather than waiting all and privacy and take away all our civil liberties and countries that would be much more effective. and that would be the channel. i would suggest that they start looking into, rather than just aggressively breaking whale human life and civil liberties on line, which is not helping them. it's not helping them to protect us. and it's not protecting the national security. russia soc, does not suck lateral fires accused, but in of putting pressure on he's new german language channel. awful talks with the countries foreign minister and moscow. correspondence that on the quarter has been across development. one of the main points of discussion at the press
2:21 pm
conference was of course, the fate of our chief, german language channel r t d e, which has been facing a lot of censorship in germany, the russian foreign minister circ a live. rob said that the german state was actually directly involved in this violation of free journalism. going as far to say that sanctions may even need to be taken if the matter is not resolved. as for his german counterpart, she said that the state actually was not involved. so let's take a listen to what they both said. not i cannot ask the state interference regarding r t d. well, that's just not true enough. unless you know, we have every reason to believe that the german government is directly involved in what is happening. let me remind you that banking services for our journalists were stopped at an early stage. the german media regulator blocked the satellite signal . despite the serbian license, we believe that this is an interference in the work of independent journalists. and
2:22 pm
i wasn't all bare bach had to say about r t d. actually she want to went on at length to speak about how popular our channel is about how it's the 4th largest on social media, based on what she said. you might even think she was one of our fans and cannot all t 2. he has confirmed it's the 4th largest on social media. of course, there was also a lot of talk about the security guarantees that russia is proposed for itself and nato to prevent further escalation of the conflict in ukraine. russia is still waiting for concrete answers from nato and the west. although we have heard from washington, which is called the the, the proposals that rushes put forward. nonstarter negotiating points for the german foreign ministers. part though, she said that the german government is ready for serious discussions about these proposals, while she also demanded security guarantees from russia. and she said that russian troops are somehow threatening the russian troops that are located on russian territory near ukraine. as for lab, though, he said that the russian state has the right to do what it wants with in its own
2:23 pm
territory. nanette buckingham, which may not in recent weeks, more than 100000 russian troops and military equipment. we're a mass near the ukrainian border without any visible reason. yeah. it's hard to consider this is anything other than a threat we needed. those are still, we explained that the provocation, coming from many western politicians, is making it necessary for our troops to conduct combat training. measures and we explained that we cannot accept certain demands regarding the actions of our armed forces on our own soil. we drew attention to the fact that while the us and other nato members are demanding the removal of our forces, they are positioning troops, including troops who have arrived in europe from overseas. the double standard here is obvious, but it does seem though that the 2 foreign minister as duty, i'm the north stream to gas pipeline bareback said that europe needs russia to be a reliable supplier of gas to solve this energy crisis. that's right now, plaguing the continent wall lab. ralph said that he had a long talk with his german counterpart about the unfortunate politicization of the
2:24 pm
north stream to pipeline. so, a lot of topics were discussed at this press conference between the foreign ministers of germany and russia. the cremeans warned even the most respectful, mainstream media and albany, the most basic fact checking. this comes off of the new york times, cited an unnamed official at moscow, was pulling up cube unless the stuff ahead of inviting you frame for ministry folks for one. but he has a heart of, noted that's printing such sensation. the soaring says, turned worse than outlets into little more than anti russian piano. parisian americas new york times newspaper is now an agent of ukraine security service through it. the source of this fantasy structure has promoted another supposed sensation, suggesting that the russian embassy and keith is being evacuated, the russian embassy and conceal it's general in ukraine, operating as normal. and the american journalists have lost their culture of
2:25 pm
checking published data, even though we have published many materials on this issue. and the times piece is yes, the latest that a litany of unproven mainstream claims that moscow's readying a ukraine, an invasion talks in russia, the u. s, and nature of so far failed to damp intentions. on the contrary, worse than politicians, the recently ramps up threats of new sanctions against the criminal. meanwhile, nato states of boosting military support to kia with canada, join the u. k. in sending troops and special forces written has already shipped missile systems worship planes are strictly defensive in nature. u. s. allies, including sweden are reinforcing military positions near russian borders, and the pentagon has just confirm that its instructors will remain on the cronan soil and geopolitical analyst we spoke to believe such military build up cannot be seen as purely defensive. i can't see how you can call these or defensive weapons if that weapon is used, either from behind the green line. let's take dumbass in eastern ukraine,
2:26 pm
for instance. from behind, the green line on the crane inside were inside the green line. then it's not a defensive weapon, you'll see any benefit for russia, of, for a quote invading ukraine that they, they have nothing to gain from this at all. however, the u. s. the u. k. and france, for instance, the 3 primary members of nato. they are right now, there's the record low confidence in the government, in political leaders. and so what they need is a distraction. and that distraction might come in the form of conflict. the western media, its western political bodies, are playing with fire or in the sort of direction they're trying to take this american athletes set to take part in fast approaching beijing winter olympics. i mean, want to ditch their parcels, smartphones, and is that use disposable mobile phones? you are selling the committee as issued a stern warning about alleged chinese state surveillance. every device
2:27 pm
communication transaction and online activity may be monitored. your devices may also be compromised with militia software, which could negatively impact future use. well, one of the ramifications of the advice it should make it hard for the athletes to stay in touch with family and friends amid restrictions on foreign spectators, music, probate, and could prevent. and also from posting their accomplishments on social media in beijing. an important aspect of keeping in touch with their fans and building a profile with the u. s. isn't the only country taking such measures. canada the u . k. and the netherlands have also warned their athletes about potential surveillance in china. given the same recommendations about using disposable cell phones, we heard from an asian affairs expert who believes the u. s. is hypocritical, accusing others of what it itself is guilty of. this. i think this to part of the campaigns to stigmatize china. and also, we're not forgetting ever. snowden to western countries cannot prove that they
2:28 pm
themselves are not spying on other people. in fact, they are quite infamous of doing so, right. i was so they had said about what did because find countries in the world you there now even that you at east dropping off its allies is already quite common knowledge to well, christian, or is allies, had openly criticize to us on that. on the contrary, why they not reporting how much china has done to protect it at this time in the olympics, you see robots delivering food for the athletes in the canteen to prevent corporate transmission. that's i think china's answers to public health coming to the world's athletes. well, those are the headlines for this, our se soon, for news views. shoes coming your way in just a few moments time the team are back in 30 minutes. we believe just global news headlines. join us again that ah,
2:29 pm
join me every 1st on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess from the world politics. sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh. tonight, questions surrounding recent incidents about hate crimes, race and religious beliefs on the forefront of the controversy. loss is former president donald trump really planning another run after his speech in arizona over the weekend somewhere convinced his campaigning days are not over. and more allegations about even closer ties between lane maxwell and prince andrew. i'm natasha sweets and you're watching the news use hughes right here on our t america. ah
