denmark, norway, finland committed to have zero relatively quickly. the u.s. primary inn which the candidates are competing with one another to be more ambitious on climate change. no pledge to reduce emissions in the history of climate change has ever been fulfilled. it is reasonable to be skeptical of some of these promises. i think it reflects in addition to the change in the political landscape the fact that there is a new economic conventional wisdom. it economists believe that was too expensive to be worth it. the impacts will be relatively small they said. we are better off growing however we could grow. almost every economist will tell you we are better off if we act faster rather than slower. we are just beginning to see policy change. emissions are setting records every year. the u.n. says we have 10 years to cut them in half. we are not just moving too slowly, we are moving in the wrong direction. their reasons for thinking that will change soon but it is clear we are not moving nearly fast enough, even given the unprecedented mobilization we have s

denmark norway finland coming to net zero relatively quickly and in the u. s. a democratic primary in which a all of the candidates are competing with one another to be more ambitious on climate change. now considering that no pledge to reduce emissions in the history of climate change has ever been fulfilled. it's reasonable to be skeptical of some of f these sort of empty promises and yet the fact that the governments are making them. is i think a real sign of some progress. and i think it reflects in addition to the changing pololitical landscape. the fact that there is a new economic conventional wisdom it used to be the case the communist believe that action on climate change was. too expensive to be worth it they said the impacts are going to be relatively small and we're better off just growing however we can grow. but that's really changed over the last few years and now almost every economist would tell you will be better off if we act faster rather than slower. i think that's another reason why we're just beginning to see policy change. but as you

the government discretion and a lot of the political problems that you that you've raised so denmark norway did that even the conservative government of johnson says the tories covered about 80 percent of salaries up to $30000.00 pounds so that to me would have been a much better way to go of course as the economy recovers you do want to wean people off point is that if you are the one responsible for throwing people out of course then i think there is a moral obligation to make sure that they they are compensated for that and likewise in regard businesses i say you don't want to create a profit windfall but there is a a constitutional clause in the us constitution that the takings provision which assumes that which mandates that you compensate. for any of the sustain which as a result of government action now i don't think you can get them when all profits but at the same time. they should be compensated for their fixed costs they've been they would have otherwise incurred i think that would have been a fair way to sustain support a message and the consistent a constitutional provision tha

he said in germany, denmark, norway, sweden kids are open no problems. dems think it would bad to open schools before the november election. may cut off funding if not open. no fortune 500 company outside of manufacturing or maintaining the food supply has demanded 100% in-person working. why are we sending children out? it's like asking children to storm the beaches of normandy. what is happening? what is this debate about for trump? >> for the president it all started a couple weeks ago when his economic advisers said for the economy to re-open parents have to be able to go back to work. for parents to be able to go to work they can't worry about home schooling their children, ergo schools need to be opened. the president took that and latched on schools being re-opened and has been preaching that message repeatedly. how did we get here? why are we having this debate? because it's something the president is pushing because he believes it will help the economy. that's not necessarily true. parents don't feel comfortable sending their kids back. what the

sizes and staggering attendant for students and shifts for teachers, in germany, france, and denmark and norwaye also open with similar safety measures in place. but here on u.s. soil, the idea of reopening and contentious. >> there is chaos over when and how to reopen the schools. reporter: it a mixed bag of results in terms of reopening schools causes new outbreaks or increase covid transmission rate, expert say, that evidence shows it okay to reopen where low transmission rates exist. shannon:is thank you. >> democrat say with the school thing d and virus, u.s. is not n better shape because of president trump, he calls them oute for refusing to do. refusi. >> because of trump's failure to take it seriously from the start. his refusal to get testing up and running. flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks his belief he knows better than expert.na >> democrats are also holding up money for schools and hospitals and small businesses. and state and local governments. they try to stop americans from getting unemployment. that is why i took this action. shannon: bring in in manhattan b

across the atlantic in germany, france, denmark and norway, schools are also open with similar safetysures firmly in place but here on u.s. soil, the idea of reopening is still highly contentious and fodder for major feeding on the 2020 campaign trail. >> while there was complete chaos over when and how to reopen our schools. >> all in all it is a mixed bag of results in terms of whether reopening schools causes new outbreaks or increased covert transmission rate. experts are weighing in and they say the evidence shows it's okay to reopening communities were low transmission rate currently exist. shannon. >> shannon: all right, gillian, thank you for the update. the democrats say when it comes to the whole school thing in the virus, the u.s. is not in better shape because of president trump. as he calls them out for refusing to compromise on another round of economic reli relief. >> it's because of trump's failure to take it seriously from the start. his refusal to get testing up and running. his flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks. his delusional belief that he knows

have with your neighbors right now the state of trust there your neighbors including finland norway and denmark are lifting travel restrictions in the region but for the most part they are excluding sweden due to its higher level of covert 1000 infections they have concerns they have voice them on record you traditionally have excellent communication and cooperation with your nordic neighbors so leaving sweden outbreaks with a longstanding close cooperation you're the foreign minister what do you think about being isolated by your neighbors right now. well i'm so glad that we have such an excellent door that corporation like we managed to repatch reate 8600 swedes from all over the world with a very close a good nordic operation we have minister of foreign affairs meeting every week we had consular meetings with our consular diplomats every day and we had a very very close nordic operation managed to get everybody back home we are also of course keeping that cooperation now during the week and i had long talks with both my norwegian and my day in the league and i also have contact with my finni

bernie despite honeymooning in the soviet union likes to talk about the scandinavian model, denmark, sweden and norway are nice places which by the way, until i read your book i did not know he had never visited there, very telling. people bring up, these countries are not very socialists. they've been welfare states with high taxes for lots of people and as an economist there are lots of problems which is why they are not as good as they could be but that is not socialist. i have sympathy for that deal but you had a different point whether it is in or not but it is not. why not? >> the american socialism is based on a simple idea outlined by george bernard shaw a century ago, any government that robs peter to pay paul can count on paul's support. the left in this country tried to say to people hey, listen, we can offer you this or that and the good news is it is truly free. it's not truly free because college isn't free, you need buildings and professors and technology, what they mean by 3 is the good news for you is we will make somebody else pay. that is the key to american socialism. it would coll

there is data from other places in europe, norway, denmark, that have done this really well. and you need to first look at the community and the case count and see how much disease is surrounding you to see if you can do this safely. places that have done so safely have case counts of less than 5 per 100,000. places like georgia and florida and texas don't meet those marks. some places in massachusetts do meet those marks. then you have to sort of de-dense any your classroom. you have to make sure you don't have kids on top of each other. you have to ensure that people are wearing masks. i also want to remind people, we're talking about our kids here. we also have to remember that there are 4 million teachers who teach in these schools. we have facility workers in these schools. we have to not just keep the children safe, we have to keep everybody safe. >> so sanjay, one of the questions we ask in my household is, what is sanjay doing? how does sanjay see this when it comes to how we navigate the public health crisis. i promise, i'm not kidding. my wife asks that when it come

i think we've seen in places that have reopened schools well, places in europe, norway, denmark, that the case counts there were in the range of less than 1 per 100,000. cases at the county were 20 fold higher than that. at that level of community spread, there should be no reopening of schools. i commend the county for closing the schools when they found this. but i will say disinfecting these schools is like firemen going into a burning house and turning off the stove. that's not going to be the root cause of this problem and you need to fix the problem. and the problem is that it is too dense. there's not enough space between people and people are not wearing masks. and until we can get the numbers from that community down and until we can fix the problems there, disinfecting the classrooms is not going to fix this problem. >> kathleen, i'm curious to get your assessment of what the doctor said about firemen going into a burning building and only turning off the stove. >> i think the doctor is right on target. we know a couple things about georgia. one is that the death count is go

in the soviet union likes to talk about the scandinavian model and he says things like denmark and sweden and norway, those are nice places, that's what i need which by the way until i read your book i did not know he had never visited there area very telling area but people bring up and i've done this before in my own writing that these summaries are very socialist area have big welfare state with big high taxes or lots of people and actually as an economist i think there's lots of problems withthat and that's one reason why their growth slowed and are not as they could be but that's not socialist . i often have sympathy for thatyou but you have a differentpoint and you said whether it is or not , it's basically not attainable in the united states . why not read. >> the american socialism is based on a simple idea. an idea outlined by george renard shaw a century ago . any government that robs peter to pay paul can count on paul's support. so the left in this country is trying tosay to people listen , we can offer you this and we can offer you that the really good news is it's truly free. it's not

with the soviet union, and talking about the scandinavian model pretty since things like denmark and sweden and norway, those nice places. this living which by the way, and hundreds of her, i did not that that he had never visited there. i was very telling. people bring up and i've done this before my own writings, these countries are not very socialist. they beat welfare states that the high taxes brought the people. actually and as an economist, there's a lot of problems with that the reason why the growth is not as good as they could be. those not socialist. and often said they with that view but you also had a different point he said whether it is not comments basically not obtainable the united states. why not. benjamin: the american socialism is based on a simple idea. an idea allied by george shaw in fact a century ago pretty any difference the robs peter to pay paul can count on a support solution this country this trend people. and listen, we can offer you this and they can offer you that in the really good news is it's truly free. it was not truly free his college is not free. you have build

other countries have done this, where a lot of countries include austria, denmark, the netherlands, norway, switzerland, australia and singapore have implemented different types of protocols in place that have helped the students be able to stay in school and learn that way. one of the things we don't factor forthe safety kids. last week, dr. redfield made a comment about how the opioid problems, the suicide problems, are exacerbated by kids staying home. child abuse problems. there has been a 50% drop of children being reported as abuse, but the emergency rooms are being flooded by kids. there is a lot of things to consider here. to safelynges reopening our schools is great, but it is not something we cannot overcome, and it is not something we don't have a plan that we can be flexible enough to change as we know more about the disease, as we learn processes and procedures. chairman, thank you for the havetunity to close and to our guest for testimony. i yield back. chairman clyburn: thank you very much. before i make my closing statement, let me briefly address the claims that have been

and then to get control in the classroom and other countries include austria and denmark and the netherlands norway and singapore and with those protocols in place to help and then one of the things we don't discuss very much as the safety factor for kids. and with the suicide problems and the child abuse problems with the 50 percent drop to be abused but yet there's a lot of things to consider challenges is not something we can overcome and not something we don't have a plan for to be flexible enough and the process and procedures thank you for the opportunity and thank you for further testimony. i yield back. >> before i make my closing statement so the public health experts are recommending but the truth is to reopen schools is risky where the coronavirus is spreading at a high rate. doctor redfield with remote and distance-learning for some amount of time. with active community not to create and asking people to distance learn to get this epidemic under control. and then to reopen schools and the hotspots is extraordinarily risky. . . . . n the schools. i will say it again. we all want schools

norway, sweden, denmark, they have maybe 0 to 1 death a day.g over 1,000 deaths a day. we shouldn't be here. the lack of leadership and lack of paying attention to science and the lack of social distancing and wearing masks has put our kids and school system in jeopardy of going back to physical schools. what we saw in georgia is a travesty. you can't do that. >> sandra: i see where you are going with political -- >> i'm talking science. where we do the right thing. where we beat down this virus in our communities our children can go back to school safely. where we act like children don't get this or act like somehow children are immune we put our children, teachers and parents at great risk. you cannot do what they did in georgia. it is not safe. it is not healthy. it is not wise. >> sandra: i got that. part of this discussion as the american pediatrics has made a big point of, they're very concerned about kids not going back to school when it comes to remote learning environment. if you have a two-parent working family or single parent who wo

. >> today is waffle day in sweden, norway and denmark it's on march 25th.t's been for years and years over there but in this country it has to do with when we -- the waffle iron was patented but i don't think you can get a free waffle at the waffle house i don't. i'm not sure but do you know where you can get one i'm told is ihop which is kind of weird international house of pancakes. free waffles i don't know coming up, a jump at the u.s. futures. momentum in the premarket. as we head to break, take a look at the casino stocks they're among this morning's big movers come right back. as business moves forward, we're all changing the way things get done. like how we redefine collaboration... how we come up with new ways to serve our customers... and deliver our products. but no matter how things change, one thing never will... you can rely on the people and the network of at&t... to help keep your business connected. an army family who is always at the ready. so when they got a little surprise... two!? ...they didn't panic. they got a bigger car for their so

we've seen in norway and denmark where schools have gone back, we haven't seen any increase in transmissions nkfully were less likely to get the disease, thankfully much less likely to have serious symptoms and suffer the ill effects of it that require hospitalisation, and crucially they we re hospitalisation, and crucially they were less likely to transmit it to adults or to see it transmitted between adults in those environments. the evidence continues to evolve, but on what we have seen so far, the president of the royal couege so far, the president of the royal college of paediatrics on a different media outlet was saying the study suggest that we can have confidence that children and young people are less affected and less likely to transmit this disease. but we will look at the study by public health england when it is complete. when are we going to get it? children are going back to school from today in parts of the uk. it's the kind of information that pa rents, the kind of information that parents, pupils and teachers need now. there are a significant number of studies around the wo
