show it is unlikely to go without a kid, hank, and is an associate professor at the city university of new york, specializing in cuba and joins we now. ted, thanks for your time. seems like this a pretty rare in cuba who's behind these protests. well, i think it's fairly obvious that the people are behind it. this is a protest that has no leader, has no organization. that may be a weakness of it going forward. but it seems to have broken through because the accumulated frustration over the past due one or 2 years with the economic crisis use food shortages, medical source shortages cause primarily by the economic system of cuba. that's inefficient and unproductive. and on top of that, of course you have the us and margot, it isolates are attempts to isolate and cut off. i think the people are in the middle and they're fed up with excuses with wise with manipulation. the government claims that this is orchestrated, paid by the united states. how do you get people and 6 or 8 cities all across to about thousands of people in each case to protest from the united states. it's ridiculous to claim tha

we are joint via skype by dennis nash, distinguished professor of epidemiology at city university of new yorkhe rogers school of public health. if you would describe for us, if you can, because a supposed data and evidence is still being clarified, how effective are any of the vaccines out there against the delta strain of the coronavirus? >> we are still learning a lot about how long these vaccines will remain effective, because the pandemic has only been around for a year and a half. so we are learning as we go. to be sure, it is important to be thinking about the need for boosters and routinely looking at the extent to which these vaccines may result in breakthrough infections, with severe disease. time will tell. but we need to be thinking about it and planning about it because it maybe going forward. but i do agree that it is not the time to be prioritizing a third dose of boosters as much as a more pressing priority that we have, which is ensuring that highly affected countries and regions of the world with little or no access to vaccines can be supplied immediately. speaking to the var

is unlikely to go without a fight at folk to ted hank and associate professor of the city university of new york, specializing in cuba. we asked him who was behind these protests. it's fairly obvious that the people are behind it. this is a protest that has no leader has no organization that may be a weakness of it going forward. but it seems to have broken through because we accumulated frustration over the past 21 or 2 years. with the economic crisis, use food shortages, medical store shortages cause primarily by the economic system of cuba. that's inefficient and unproductive. and on top of that, of course you have the us and margot and isolates are attempts to isolate and cut off. i think the people are in the middle and they're fed up with excuses with lies with manipulation. the government claims that this is orchestrated, paid by the united states. how do you get people and 6 or 8 cities all across to about thousands of people in each case to protest from united states. it's ridiculous to claim that at the same time, we don't know really what the next step is, how the government is respon

doctor denis nash is a distinguished professor of epidemiology at the city university of new york. he says the case should vaccinate at least 70 percent of its population before lifting restrictions. will last i looked, i think the u. k. is gotten to about 50 percent coverage with and thinking about fully covered with 2 doses of vaccine or one dose of, of a single those back seen. i think that clearly we're seeing a search in cases in the u. k. and that suggest to me it's not enough. and while we haven't yet seen surgeons and death rates there, we're beginning to see increases in the death rates while they're still very low. they've probably increased 2 or 3 fold over the last few weeks. and to me that's something to watch. and i know they've said a deadline of july 19th to to fully reopen a lot can happen in 2 weeks. a lot of people could be vaccinated between now and then i would really like to see rather than set an arbitrary date. you know, forrest johnson to say, if we can achieve, say 70 percent coverage between now and then. then we can begin to think about opening up. i've g

is unlikely to go without a fight, the kid hank, and is an associate professor at the city university of new york, specializing in cuba and join me now. ted, thanks for your time. seems like this. i'm pretty rare in cuba who's behind a protest. well, i think it's fairly obvious that the people are behind it. this is a protest that has no leader, has no organization. that may be a weakness of it going forward. but it seems to have broken through because the accumulated frustration over the past due one or 2 years with the economic crisis, few food shortages, medical source shortages, caused primarily by the economic system of cuba that inefficient and unproductive. and on top of that, of course you have the us and margot, that isolates are attempts to isolate and cut off. i think the people are in the middle and they're fed up with excuses with wise with manipulation. the government claims that this is orchestrated, paid by the united states. how do you get people and 6 or 8 cities all across to about thousands of people in each case to protest from the united states. it's ridiculous to claim that

professor john paul, he is the founding director of the haitian studies institute at the city university of new york. and is a political and cultural sociologist. professor, what i wanted to do is ask you about the latest news, but ask you about this idea of the haitian narrative own in a as haitian. because once again, we have another headline making international news and it's not good news as a haitian. as a professor, as it says here, is that so much that you could help us understand about what does haiti do and how does ac get into the situation and how do you get out of it. thank you so much for having me. that's a great question. i do think like how do we get there? it's important briefly to inform our people in that he was the 1st on black, not the public, but different black and barrier in 18 o 4. but the family will, lucian was the only successful and we and i received lucian. so since that, that lucian, that it will lucian was into the for, for the do this, all the master deal would do copy them. so the he hadn't been as related. we my, our day had to be 20 be on dallas holiday parade sin

spoke with daniel shore, a professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university of new york, who says the assassination was a classic palace coup. the links between the drug enforcement agency, the different intelligence services in columbia, in the us, in haiti, definitely coordination. nothing happens in haiti economically, politically, diplomatically, militarily paramilitary without the u. s. is being involved. this could be the justification for the next us away. if you win the try factor of evil, imperialism for the next invasion and occupation of haiti, where the entire economy is us sweatshops and us agribusiness. so this whole month about haiti being poor and having no geo political and economic strategic importance for the united states is ridiculous. so right now, it looks like a palace different wings of a haitian booth was the both of which would be in touch with different parts of the state department or the pentagon or the c, c i a, or the d e a, or the proxy forces from taiwan and what we're seeing columbia, they would be buying for this power. they would have

particularly interested in hearing about what you're working on since i'm a graduate of the state university of new yorko and obviously a lot of private companies, contractors will try to get in on this. where do you see this going? do you think it will reach the point where space travel is relatively routine or for now is the most that we can say is that there will be occasional flights with relatively rich people on-board to get the excitement of going 50 miles into the at atmosphere. >> it will definitely be routine i think in 20 years, just like right now we're at the beginning of air travel, right. who would have thought how fast air travel would have became routine. that's what's going on right now. i think within 20 years it will be fairly routine with space tourism and hopefully with private companies and billionaires behind this and making the transition from government to more industry and i think there's going to be -- space tourism is going to be big. maybe some day one of these billionaires will build a space station up there and have a permanent presence for tourists to go up there. i thin

in fact, research from colombia university of new york found that for each dollar this tax cut costs,ns $8 in benefits down the line. $8 would have to be spent other ways. it's a gigantic help. it's an 8 to 1 return. your head, your heart, and your budget all lead to the same place. this is the right thing to do, and it's a smart thing to do. today these tax cut payments are arriving automatically. but it didn't happen automatically. the result of the work of people who did this advocating for this for a long, long time. and we finally got it past the american rescue plan. i want to particularly thank those who have been fighting for this for years. congressman rosa from connecticut has been a champion for this issue. congressman richie neil, and torez and senators bennett, brown, and booker and ron wyden. and we'll probably hear from our republican friends who voted against this, but they'll tout the success as it helps working families in their states and districts. but in the coming days, we're also going to hear from them saying i want to extend this tax cut. it's only for one yea
