it's disproportionately white voters of lesser education, especially conservative christians, especially if smallowns in rural areas that are less densely populated. those are areas that have been less hard hit because of the less density and they're people who supported president trump because they were concerned that their country, the country that they thought they grew up in is changing. the number of white christians in the united states has declined from 80% 50 years ago to less than half now. so, the president by announcing this move, suggests that foreigners have some contribution to this problem, this is consistent wef forith e to blame the w.h.o., efforts to blame europe, efforts to blooam china. many of the immigration-related activities in the united states have been closed down because of coronavirus. but the president late last night was feeling the brunt of criticism from governors, from voters, and so last night he announced this on twitter with no backup information whatsoever. >> i mean, the irony rfr cour, , is that the united states is the hot spot. i'm not sure how many peopl

religious nationalist movement appeals to a lot of folks and do they have a very small percentage, but they also allow the christian nationalists. it's part of why they tolerate the friendships i believe. if just goes to show what it's become in this discussion. but also i tend to talk about it in christian nationalism. there are some of these organizations and movements out there and i'm thinking the nation of islam. >> why is there no blowback from the christian churches? nothing they are doing has anything to do -- >> we have to remember there is a whole movement out there of christians that reject the politic and division of the movement and recognize a large number of evangelicals. most don't even understand these theologies as authentically christian and i think that most see religion as loving one another, care for the poor and perhaps the majority of the division. it has so much power not because it is the majority, it is a minority that in a country where 40 to 50% of people don't even bother and loo advocates increay large numbers of people that are being disenfranchised. you don't need a majority to win.

we know the democratic the play by the rules, their small and they endanger our relationship with this christianing 1.4 million person china but now we look at it may say you know what, the play by all of the rules of the transparent, the projected the population, they allowed people to voice dissension, they are a model oft china should've been. why do we have them feeling guilty about the our support with taiwan. i think the same is true with japan and south korea. i see a lot of those countries being far more afraid than they even were before the crisis with china. and far more amenable to a relationship a close one with the united states but in terms of europe, it's a little bit more problematic because we were lectured that europe, under these guidelines, was sort of a model. almost as if the model in the west will be a transnational organization runs on solar and wind power and relies on self power. and has no borders. and within a nanosecond in this early crisis, borders closed. and for a while germany and other countries in the north were not willing to send medical supplies except to th

christian. you know, flights have been grounded worldwide, a very small proportion of normal flights come about actually coming in and out of heathrow at the moment behind me. a lot of repatriation flights, cargo flights, that type of thing. but airlines, per se, are haemorrhaging cash. i think there is a sort of surprising thing, or the thing that some people are sort of raising their eyebrows at when it comes to british airways is that british airways is financially in a relatively speaking better financial position than other airlines. it's got bigger cash reserves. but it's moving very quickly, it's taking drastic steps now, and it says it has to, because it has to protect the business in the long term, because it doesn't believe that passenger numbers are going to return to the levels of the pre—pandemic era for several years to come. now, the idea of british airways abandoning gatwick airport, the uk's second—largest airport is radical. it would be a massive blow for that airport. it would effectively mean that british airways would consolidate all of that operation, gatwick and heathrow,

easter mass was held at the church of the -- church, where a small group of clerks were allowed to attend, where christianselieve jesus was crucified and rez rektded -- resurrected. normally thousands would make a pilgrimage but during this coronavirus outbreak the streets of the old city were empty. this as a message was given to all citizens of the world. take a listen. >> my message is that despite the sign of death and fear that we are seeing everywhere, all over the world, we have to look at the good and all those that are giving their lives for others. the message of easter is that life despite all will prevail. >> this year easter and jewish holiday of passover do o coincide. many took part in wearing face masks and chanting traditional prayers. israel does have around 11,000 total cases of coronavirus, but maintains a death toll of just over 100 people. like the rest of the world, the middle east is working around the clock to stop the spread of coronavirus. one piece of light amid this very dark story is we have seen a reduction in fighting between the israelis and palestinians. at this time last

christians does not mean they were actually christians so for me i don't believe my faith was tested because. for some reason i've just had a strong faith since i was a small child and i believe god would get me out of that situation one day and i mean he did i believe he did. so i believe it made my faith stronger and that's why i'm here today. you know i want to i think it was did you think that your experience was indicative of the communities as a whole or do you think it was just you know kind of this one community that you were involved. and what can people do who find themselves in similar situations to you to kind of climb out of you know and find that help and find a new way of life and find the freedom. that kind of appears. yes it is indicative of the whole amish religion basically because they all have the same underlying. beliefs and the belief is that. we are the amish and we do not. contact the outside world we do not turn a brother or a sister over to their outside the law those things have to be handled in the church and by the church and if you go to the outside law in some cases you can be shunned. sometimes you come across a piece of hu

small. less interesting dynamic environment which recognize the coffee. kind of all know a course of honor goes upon. the coffee house was established by christiane monic he's been living in britain for 24 years he was deeply disappointed by the brics it felt london after all is his home he's certain breaks it will make it harder to run his business and to import products from mainland europe. until now that wasn't a problem so often products ordered from austria would get here faster than english products here in the harp but all the extra paperwork all the extra forms that are now legally filled all would cost crunch boughten customs delays if it's that will break up costs or of course the for was a. scum of the pound has a ready for the against the euro and it's becoming increasingly difficult to highest skilled stuff from europe christiane malik can hardly recognize that britain he once moved to over 20 years ago. because when we were we were able to go anywhere in europe we are well come on everywhere the arbor to grow king here in great britain was exciting sex and influence and maybe a movie rock received here. but all that changed in the

is arriving soon to these small businesses and hospitals as the administration signed the $484000000000.00 bill into law well joining us now to go further in depth is. christiane christy how effective is the p.p.p. program in doling out funds and those who actually need it most. well actually so it's been a complete mess banks and all the other financial institutions who are responsible for distributing these funds they were comfortably unprepared for the task that they were hit with so much demand in a few short weeks so you have large corporations being prioritized over the smaller businesses that the people who was intended to help so meanwhile small businesses provide nearly half of american jobs and what a 5 percent of national production so they were actually completely ignored small business owners actually got completely screwed as it was revealed that billions went to large corporations with almost 20 percent going to publicly traded companies who have other means of accessing capital so a lot of critics have put these companies on blast us taxpayer money to go back to these multimillion dollar companies meanwhile companies like shake shack they have
