etc. etc. what we need to be able to do is get firms back in operation, prepare to have employees return and people willing and able to go back to work. and that latter will require people feeling workers feeling , that they have very low risk if they go back to work of a serious health problem and a firm feeling there will be some demand there, and they will not face very difficult litigation issues they don't know how to deal with at this stage until there is more clarity. if that starts to resolve, we will open up more, the good news is that the numbers are not as bad as the great depression, 10 years after the great depression, the unemployment rate was still at 18%. people are expecting the unemployment rate to peak this quarter and improve later this year and improve next year. i think it will be a couple of years before we are back to what we consider much lower unemployment. most forecasters are looking at still having 7% unemployment late next year. hopefully, they can do better but it

first we open with safeguards, 50% etc.. second if there is a problem and the locals do not enforce those regulations we will close those beaches immediately. >> governor murphy forced her hand by announcing yesterday that -- . >> we have talked about everything on a daily basis. we knew exactly what was going to do. there is jurisdiction in new york. we are not opening our beaches. if we don't open our beaches people will go to new jersey beaches, i promise you that. they will go to connecticut beaches and then you have a situation where you have 4 million new yorkers going to jersey beaches, connecticut beaches and what happens to those beaches? who cares, they are in new jersey and connecticut create and those are new yorkers at those beaches so i think this plan makes the most sense. is there a risk that the locals won't enforce the rules? i guess ortley beach will get overwhelmed and they can't enforce the rules, yes that is a risk and we have eyes wide open and if that happens we will close the beach the next day. yes,

productioion,- food etc. those seggetors are still working. -- sectors are still working. i know it's a complex balance that a politician needs to do, prime e minister, but it has toe based on scientific facts and it has to take all the elements into consideraration and it t ho be done gradually, in a way that you can be adapting schools, businesses, and other places to a reality where we don't know if the virus -- like a flulu that comes in the w winter but in summer we don't have cases. we don't know if it w will evol. we don't know the way -- we know some wayays of transmissioion, we don't know.w. there is a l lot at stake. that's why we said let's makake decision in aa careful -- in a serious way and science based. you have to consider economic issues but it should be on science. >> human rights -- many governments have declared states of emergency, have imposed curfews, lockdowns. are you concerned about the rule of law, that some governments, some leaders might use the pandemic to crack down on the opposition, there are a number of insnstances wherere there is strong

you overwhelm the health system, etc. so this has to be monitored very closely. a lot of it is going to flow -- fall on the local governments and we really need them to really step up here. on the compliance of businesses and for individuals, the testing and tracing is one of the key monitors on that dashboard. they all meet the minimum testing and tracing requirements, but they have to do it also and it has to be done every day and that is a logistical operational challenge. we're working with them to do that, but that has to be done every day and the monitoring of all the indicators, again, and quick reactions. these indicators will be online or everyone, not just for local governments. they are on the website. i would suggest everyone look at them, look at them for their county, their region so they know exactly where they are every day. they are updated daily. and how this goes is up to all of us. stone the stone across the morass, as my father used to say. you're going through a morass and we are in a morass, there's no doubt about that. the area find stone,

what is the best within the markets, state etc. in achieving those goals rather than having this pro- antigovernment approach. the wastefulness that was true until the tax reform, until it was passed for every dollar the u.s. federal government spent on trade assistance we spend $25 on the tax subsidies to the elite colleges. i would argue quite strongly we should be spending that money but not o on the elite colleges. they should be spending it on the workers that might be affected by trade, and no wonder people might start to think of this when for every dollar i get to help adjust, 25 were going to the elite colleges and this is the difference between the levels that the government has been doing quite a lot and i will say more about that in a moment. the second thing, and i will be brief about this, we are not in great shapape having agreeing to some of these i would say one thing in particular. you can make an argument the middle clas class haven't been g quite as well. this is household income g grow, the cumulative percentag

loving, disciplined, and etc. tough is about courage.lt, "courage is not having the strength to go on. it is about going on when you do not have the strength." the day before, i cannot do this anymore, we have to do it more. we have to continue. and, this new normal, we are going to have to do it for a long time. they are talking about the fall and a possible second wave. we have to get back to activity, but we have to do it in a different way, a smarter way. maybe, a better way when all is said and done, and that is courage. teddy roosevelt was tough, and he leaned into being tough. he liked being physically tough. had a boxinglt ring built on the third floor of this house. and he would challenge the legislators during the day to come box with him in the boxing ring on the third floor at night. can you imagine that? the governor says to a legislator, come, let us go to the boxing ring. i think that is how the budget got done at the end of the budget session. any discordant voices, come to the mansion and we will go into the boxing ring.

you have less tourism, less business travelers, etc.e numbers i don't know how big an influx that is. also i don't know that legally that one state can bar other states from entrance. and i don't think it's good policy. i know when the shoe was on the other foot there was talk of other states saying, well, i'm going to quarantine against new yorkers coming here. i thought it was wrong then and i think it is wrong now. [reporters shouting] gov. cuomo: go ahead, jesse. can i just finish? can i finish jesse's question? reporter: is there anything in the toolbox, any -- to prevent -- what are you going through to to prevent a second wave? gov. cuomo: the second wave -- you can have people come from outside and infected population, -- and infect your population, right? that is how we got here in the first place. where i'm really outraged is how the infection -- how we got infected from europe when nobody told us. it was all about china. we were all looking to the west on people coming from china. the china travel ban. meanwhile, it came from

know and so you can understand how that spiral then turns into mental health disorders substance abuse etc and can ultimately lead to suicide however i have believed what many others believe is the main driver in suicide is not p.t.s.d. per se however it's something called moral injury and moral injury is you know it's kind of a fancy term for guilt but it goes much deeper than that it more injury occurs when you transgress when a person transgress is against his or her belief system against their fundamental values against their what they believe you know whether it be based from a higher power whether the. because what they are raised as the values talk to them by their families you know by their by their communities or whether it's is basically something they have come to on their own but you transgress that you've committed an act so vile so abhorrent in your own to your own senses that you are no longer the person you once were or the person that you thought you would be and i can't emphasize enough how deacon destructive that is for me going through those periods where i realized i h

than that and democrats and republicans across the country -- governors, mayors, county officials, etc. -- have been calling out for this funding. if -- we are going from just doing state and local as one chunk to state, local, county, etc., it nearly doubles what we need to do in this bill, which is much bigger than what was in the original cares bill. that is a discussion that we are having next. next, we talk about saving the lives and the livelihood of the american people and, of course, the life of our democracy. in terms of saving lives, the going to ridre ourselves of this as well as evidence,r economy is science-based testing, testing, testing. just think of the t's -- testing, tracing, treatment. an isolation, when necessary, of course, with social distancing. but in terms of what we can legislate and fund, testing will be a very major part of this. we need a national strategy. to do so, i think, is long overdue. our first bill march 4 was testing, testing, testing, but it did not come through in terms of policy. our not last but most recent bill, the interim bill signed a wee

the very bottom a piece of wax that would pick up what was on the ocean bottom, whatever sand, rocks, etc., so the captain could tell, basically, where he was. so uncharted waters doesn't mean it means getly, information, get data at the the you can -- get data, best you can, and use that data to decide where you are going. especially in a situation where you have so much emotion, so much politics, you have personal anxiety that people feel, social anxiety, social stress, let's stick to the facts, let's stick to the data, let's make sure we are making decisions with the best information that we have. so we do a lot of testing, a lot of tracking to find out where we are. we test the number of hospitalizations, every night we find out how many people were in the hospital the day before, we have been tracking that. the good news is, that number is down a tick again today. the net change in hospitalizations is down a tick. --ubation intubations are down, that is good news. the new covid cases walking through the door, the number of new infections, is also down a little bit, 831. it had been r

[indiscernible] handle, this is a conversation about the rate of transmission, etc. now, itook at numbers is not a constant number. it is a little up, a little down, a little up, a little down. you can handle that. you don't want to handle a spike which gets up near hospital capacity or anything like that. >> statistically is that a 20% or 30% increase? >> it depends on what your original number is. you have different numbers across the state. some regions, you are in the single digits. some regions, you're in the double digits. it is proportionate to that. the hospital capacity in that region. everything is by the region. >> [indiscernible] do you regret moving forward with malaria drugs, given the whistleblower complaints -- [indiscernible] -- cardiac at a slightly elevated level. is the state aware of such concerns? >> we looked at the hydroxychloroquine. hospitalized patients, there was no benefit or adverse -- it was clearly known there was an issue with the potential of abnormal heart rhythms when you take the drug along with -- [indiscernible] the other erythr

., etc.t imagine that would have not worked in this crisis. we would have had a much, much worse crisis. and everybody are learning to live a new virtual home-office driven reality because of obviously the fear of this virus thing ghosting around that will imprint many hundreds of millions of people's way of living. i sadly suspect all of the people that seem to be more susceptible to getting seriously ill or die from this virus, and other generations, younger generations will have already shown the way, and i think we will be even further boosted in this direction. that is the paradox with this crisis, that it amplifies everything probably that we saw tech into it, and now big echs in of the bigger t the u.s. and china are dropping these large companies and going into and coming out of this crisis profiting from it. francine: michael, who has done a better job -- i don't know if that changes your appetite for treasuries versus guilds versus some of the things we are seeing in europe -- but w

that's why we closed businesses, schools, etc. was, front-line workers we need you to go to work the next day. what do you mean go to work? he just said it is dangerous, you are closing everything, i have to go to work? yes, you have to go to work because we need you in the hospitals, and because we need people in hospitals, we need people to operate the transit food, so wewe need need food delivery workers, and we need grocery store workers, so we need all of these essential workers work so other people can stay home. how is that fair? some people get to stay home, at the front-line workers have to go to work? i get it. i said, we will do everything we need to do. ae covid virus can live on stainless steel surface for two or three days. ok? car you seea subway all of those stainless steel poles. i said, do it to them to disinfect these trains. four hourshe train and we disinfect. the transit workers are doing a phenomenal job. they have this new disinfecting equipment, electrostatic sheehan. if you look at the trains now, they ar

we just want to see business, restaurants, pubs, etc starting again.re before in the short term, to have some more of a sense of normality and be able to reclaim what has been part of our life for so long. we are all missing those aspects of it. if that means closing off town centres and making the pedestrian only to ensure people can go into

and everyone is had her chips etc. we just want to make sure that those people who are most vulnerable are protected. in one of the greatest vulnerabilities, is i can't pay my rent, i can't the my family. okay, we have to make sure those people are protected it. nobody can be a victim because of the nonpayment of rent. let's take the issue off of the table. we have to make sure that everyone has food to feed their families. we are doing that through a number of ways, programs etc. read and last resort, the banks that we are talking about today, but the number one issue the people talk to me about, probably spent. and fear about being able to fear pay the rent. this just takes the issue off of the table until august 20th. what happens then? i can't tell you what is going to happen two - three months down the road but i can tell you whatever happens, we will handle it at the time. and that is what we have been doing this situation all along. literally, into big increments. this is unlike anything we have seen before. i'm

we just want to see business, restaurants, pubs, etc starting again.e all wa nt to pubs, etc starting again. we all want to be able to have a meal out. we all want to, even if we can't be what we were before in the short term, to have some more of a sense of normality and be able to reclaim what has been part of our life for so what has been part of our life for so long. we are all missing those aspects of it. if that means closing off town centres and making the pedestrian only to ensure people can go into the streets, so be it. let's do it. let's try to make things better. it summer after all. support oui’ better. it summer after all. support our local businesses. it's lovely to see you both. that's it for the papers this hour. next, it's the film review. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's home cinema releases. first up, little women. a beautifully crafted period drama from writer—director greta gerwig who gave us the wonderful lady bird. i believe we have some power over wh

etc and they are retroactively projecting that view of american dominance onto history including on to the 2nd world war our attitude toward the show be a union even in the depths of the 1st cold war was far more careful and floor more respectable than it is toward post communist russia problem though is what it says about current attitudes we are there is a very strong sense from the american establishment that they can simply dictate terms to the rest of the world and they have an almost cavalier reckless added to toward insulting other countries and i think doing so almost really deliberately show that we're in charge you are not we can do what we want you can object but who cares and i think that's the dangerous part that kind of attitude which unfortunately permeates so much of our policy donald trump. is a complete ignoramus when it comes to understanding history. man has no knowledge of history at all so the fact that he would repeat one of the fundamental myths about world war 2 is not shocking but the problem is that this is what most americans are taught in the schools and

know we don't have george washington letters with his wife we have some letters from thomas jefferson etc but we don't have the kind of treasure trove of exchanges that we have between abigail adams and john adams that range from the political to the personal and she was i think if she were alive today she would be running for office herself and pretty darn successful at it then i can't wait to read this book thank you so much for being with us larry always great to see you and great to be with you the new book is john adams on the fire the founding fathers fight for justice in the boston massacre murder trial that's out now and available everywhere including to download and thank you for joining me on this edition the politicking remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me king's things don't forget to use the politicking hash tag and that's all for this edition of politicking. time after time called parishioners repeat the same mantra sustainability and it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability explainable amana a

will get a huge supermarkets etc. the movie so this starts before operation in these and to prizes. actually throw us back so we have can of with a set are free to try to. we have agreed. to do it in that we need to take into account the specifics of h. reachin him bull so that the system is less richards. and so they stage by stage listing all of the measures of the restrictions in this and other enterprises such as all construction agriculture others need to be regulated by the regions of russia themselves however. we create a need to take into account the conditions that have been set for them by the doctors by the relevant federal authorities and local authorities as well if you so the. rules there will be 2 documents for the 2 sectors 1st the services sector that will be regulated by doctors and as for industry and other sectors this is the responsibility of the hands of the regions and must ask for moscow's set of players analyze the situation in detail with respect to what's happening in the city over recent day we have. increased by many fold the number of tests. they trends

be something that was so un for seeable that insurance companies shouldn't be responsible for losses etc that no matter what passes or doesn't pass in the in the senate is going to be an issue moving forward is going to be a question of how much liability do insurance companies have for damages for losses that companies have incurred based on the specific language in their policy . this is going to be an upheaval in the legal system is it not oh there's going to be litigation over this for years and years and look and you know we're probably thinking about it some of the smaller cases they're going to be some really big ones right some deals that got called off at the last minute putting aside insurance for a minute a lot of contracts that say for example you know this contract is valid unless there is an act of god and his district turman to be an earthquake a tornado those are the typical things that we think of that language is used but there's going to be in your debate moving forward as to whether this applies or doesn't apply in terms of contracts and about privacy people going to

they have to notify families, etc. we are doing an investigation on that. member the basic premise of a nursing home. the nursing home can only accept or keep a patient if they can provide adequate care for that patient. if they have a covid patient or a non-covid patient but they cannot provide adequate care for that person, it is their obligation to transfer the person. if they cannot find a place to transfer the person, it is their obligation to call the state department of health and the state department of health will transpire -- will transport the person. we have facilities for covid nursing home residents. we have some facilities that are just for covid positive nursing home residents. so we have those facilities available. if a nursing home cannot care for a covid resident, called the department of health. the department of health will transfer the patient. that responsibility is on the nursing home. they have to know who they can care for and who they cannot care for. if they cannot care for them for any reason, my staff is out sick, i do not have

that is how it got to new york and chicago, etc. that by the time we turned off travel from china, the travel ban, the virus was already gone and it was in europe, and then he came here from europe. we didn't know at the time, so february, march, flights were landing from italy, from the u.k., etc., bringing the virus. we didn't know. they are now saying the virus may not have come just in february, march. the virus may have come late last year. they are doing testing in chicago now on people who passed last november and december to see if they passed from the covid virus. so i think this is all going to change over time. so a note of caution. and i think it's going to be worse when the final numbers are tallied. we are also not fully documenting all the at-home deaths that may be attributable to covid. so i think the reality is going to be actually worse. but there is no doubt it's a time of unprecedented anxiety, stress. people want answers, they want answers now. haven't had a paycheck, don't know where their job is, don't know i

restaurants, bars, gyms, etc. has the best catalyzed -- the best capitalized, biggest balance sheets in the country. so when you think of where to put your money that is relatively safer, it could be a driver of the market we are seeing now. jonathan: i think that is the big topic for so many people. on the one side, we've got this crowding, stretched valuations and growth. on the other side, the potential for the value truck playing out encyclicals. how do you draw a distinction between the two and make sure you are in the right companies? great point. a i think for a post covid world, you need to be involved with some of the technologies, in particular on the software side. that includes areas like cyber security cloud computing, e complex aroundle zoom conferencing and remote learning. it is not going to be a one-year story. it is a 3, 5, even tenure story down the road. similarly, on the health care side, still very important in the next two to five years. i think we continue to see opportunities tactically. i

is it the transit system, the railroad, etc.? we asked the hospitals to collect that and we will be getting that over the next couple of days. that will help us get more information. in the meantime, we know vulnerable populations are paying the highest price. seniors, nursing homes, and the poor community are the ones where you have higher infection rates and exposure. we are going to distribute today 7 million masks to just those communities in nursing homes, poor communities, public housing, new york city housing authority. we will be doing that today. 7 million masks is a large number. there is about 9 million people in new york city total so 7 million masks is obviously making a big difference. we are funding food banks. the more this is going on the more people are without a job, they have no check. basics like paying rent and buying food become very important. we have addressed the rent issue, the immediate need -- nobody can be evicted for nonpayment of rent through june. people are stable. the next basic need is food. we

they might be an emergency medical worker etc.. the court and the d.c. circuit judge rejected the analogy to grand jury subpoenas served by prosecutors. these are legislative subpoenas, not subpoenas issued by the executive branch for an entirely different interest or concern. these subpoenas need to be in aid of valid legislation, not as a prosecutor subpoena to prove wrongdoing. we think the analogy to clinton v jones is helpful. the court rejected an absolute immunity but said the president was entitled to some protection and we are looking at the same purpose. we are not saying the house has no powers to get these records. it needs to satisfy a heightened standard because if it doesn't, these requests will become routine and that weapon in the standing arsenal of the houses of congress i think will be routinely deployed in a way that harms the separation of powers and undermines the presidency. >> justice alito? could you apply the standard that you think is appropriate to the subpoena from the house intelligence committee? there, the intelligence ca

. being thrown around, 26th of may, 1st ofjune, etc.t. i would guess it wouldn't be happening imminently. it is one issue that will be dealt with pretty soon, and it will be a top priority for the government to do it, but they are not going to let themselves be tied down with a date just yet. i think mid—june is probably a good guess. 0k, ok, let's go to the sunday mirror. this is pa rt go to the sunday mirror. this is part of theircampaign go to the sunday mirror. this is part of their campaign to reward our brave front line heroes, says the headline, and campaigning for a cash bonus for health care workers. what you make of that? i think it is interesting that nobody else is really picking up and running with this and the fact that the sunny day mirror is continuing to ask for a bonus and other people aren't really speaks to that general feeling, certainly in the area where i live, which is that when you go out on a thursday and you are clapping the nhs, you're not capping the fact that these are heroes on the front line, because they

you have been on the streets physically, etc.his racesense of how relative to 2019 in terms of the protests. stephen: definitely, there is more frustration on the part of the protest movement. there's also perhaps protest fatigue and fatigue overall in the general public. it is not getting the level of support that the protest movement got from the general populace in 2019 where we saw estimates of one million, perhaps as many as 2 million. that is a large estimate coming from the protest group, but that last summer was a galvanizing force to battle this extradition bill which was eventually scrapped or tabled. now today, we have had two months, almost three months of coronavirus. we've had 11 months of unrest and we've had recession, a deep economic pain being felt here. and what we are having is more and more voices coming out in support of this national security law, including, finally, hong kong's richest tycoon. the men people call superman here. he has broken his silence. he put out a statement today, "it is within each and

this patchwork of sovereignty over jerusalem etc etc in fact the proof of the matter is. the palace in need is for today a lot as the most moderate. mood of us about mosen yes a bit rubble they all rejected what was on the table and not on the table at camp david in terms that were even more harsh than our fighting himself they were adamant against the. so that tells you something about whether these were the kind of proposals that that allison could accept should he have taken the veil of. public. a last ditch attempt by clinton at the end of his presidency failed to produce an agreement and out of out was playing i blame it partly on on. clinton dennis they told the incoming. administration. bush and cheney literally on inauguration day that it was totally responsible for the failure of the peace process and that he was a liar and you couldn't count on you could try to deal with him. after the meeting at camp david on a truck returned to gaza and received a hero's welcome for refusing to accept what the palestinians viewed as unacceptable. he was by now however a pariah

are they retrofitting, etc. >> let's take the different asset classes, so in the office, again, it'sind of following the footprint of covid. and new york city is in a real different situation than most other places in the country. we don't actually own buildings in new york, but anecdotally, if you're in a b building, half the tenants aren't paying rent, a significant portion of tenants aren't paying rent and health clubs like equinox aren't paying rents. if you move out of manhattan, almost 97 of our tenants have paid -- 97% of our tenants have paid their represent. we own in minneapolis and portland and sacramento. so those towns people are paying their rents, and we own 80,000 apartments, and we don't own new york city, and we don't own california. those -- everyone's paying their rent, basically, now in apartments, about 97%. and, again, we're kind of in the red states, texas and atlanta, georgia. i think we're the largest owner of apartments in florida. people are paying their rents. the issue is in places like new york and california there's been this huge populist move to not

and, there will be other countries saying, give it to us, give us the technology and etc..uestion for the chinese at that point will be, do we just vaccinate our people and we will get that -- get that done and get our workforce and focus on that, or do we collaborate? and they are going to be real issues for them to think about in terms of how fast do we want the united states to get back -- vaccinated also. contrarily, imagine the u.s. response, which is very likely has theirchinese version of the vaccine, is it safe, was it done properly? were corners cut? think that case they might say wait for our vaccine, but wait until some company that we recognize like pfizer or whatever one has produced a vaccine which has been properly tested and approved, and so on. marc, if you look at this from a european perspective, we need to pick sides? do you need to be on one side of the war or the other side of the war? do you need to wait for the pfizer vaccine and wonder if that will come with things attached to it, like we will give you the vaccine but you cannot buy 5g technology? h

furthermore, the problem is the level of current spending that is untouchable -- entitlements, etc.,because of the aging of the population, the structural levels of unemployment that are much higher than in the united so it istc., impossible to solve it with revenue measures and it is also very, very difficult to solve it with growth measures because it is by now pretty evident that the eurozone, in growth terms, does not achieve the levels of productivity growth, of earnings, and of gdp growth of comparable economies, so this is almost like an ongoing problem that continues to make those countries like italy, like spain, they are hugely indebted -- they continue to be very indebted evening growth periods, and when things get bad, the debt goes further up. to european union needs change a lot of its policies in order to foment a recovery that is based on the private sector and growth of productivity, because if everything is based on maintaining the level of excessive government spending at any cost, what happens is the burdens to job creation make growth lower, debt higher, and spen
