john epstein was a researcher on that expedition. >> when we go into an environment like a bat cave toatch bats, we have to protect ourselves. that includes gloves, we wear a respirator, like a mask. and we'll wear eye protection. >> we're walking into caves that could carry the next pandemic. that's a risky thing. we go in during the day to scope out where the bats are and try to work out what species are in there. then we set up nets outside and catch them when they fly out in the evening and go back in the morning. >> we do everything we can to ensure the safety and well being of the animals and we have a basic set of samples we correct. oral swabs, fecal pellets, blood. and we take measurements. >> over the course of eight months, they sampled caves all over southern china and then took them back to the lab. >> it really took better part of eight years of consistent and persistent sampling, testing different horseshoe bat populations around, until we finally found the missing link we were looking for. >> that link was a bat virus genetically connected to sars. capable of jumping di

epstein saga. all right so let's do this let's get right to the question of how we might or might not survive economically joining us now john grace. founded investors advantage core also a prolific speaker on the market for main street to wall street also joining us is veteran journalist ben swan who hosts boom bust right here on r t america ben i think we should start with you given what i just what i just presented at the start of this newscast which is it boom or bust. they were looking at a huge bust on its way i think you're explanation of forbearance was incredibly timely and incredibly important for people to understand because everything we're going through right now is really about delayed reaction so the fed has been working to delay problems within corporations in the stock market the federal government's been doing that they've been delaying things and so everything right now is in this kind of mode of delaying you haven't had to pay your taxes because federal taxes were moved into july and so there's been this effort. delay but delaying the problem does not make the problem go away it simply sets a new timeline

so one of the powerful players in the sordid saga of epstein's life that continues to unravel even after his death for the news with rick sanchez john oddie. there is good news from russia for the global fight against. the russian health ministry has approved yet another remedy to heal severe forms of this disease that means less people will die from the complications that are caused by covert 19 years artie's. volleyball where there's explosive story from moscow. covered 19 seems to loosen its grip slightly as a new remedy has arrived introduced by russian scientists for patients hit hardest by the disease the ministry of health has registered yet another drug for treating complications caused by code 19 called levy line mob with his trade name the medicine is to help patients with severe course of the disease when the so called side to kind storm develops this condition is an excessive inflammatory reaction of the body to the introduction of the virus which leads to tissue damage in particular palmeri with a possible fatal outcome and initially the drug was created to treat a remit toit. but due to its mechanism of action it later

jeffrey epstein is dead but there are other co-conspirators. the case with deutsche bank. hawk bank which johnon wrote about and the attorney general's reluctance to have that case going forward. too many cases with political implications that are too large to ignore. >> does the sound of foot steps hasten any action in that office considering that now the president wants somebody else in this position. we need to move? >> the good news is yes people in that office are very much aware of what's happening in the world. the bad news ultimately is because william barr is the attorney general he has the final say. they are part of the justice department. remember a couple of months ago bill barr issued a memo taking more control over potentially political investigations that may be coming out in the run up to the election. so ultimately they are independent but not completely. >> thank you so much for getting up early for us. we appreciate it. >> thanks. >>> so grim prediction from the cdc this morning coronavirus cases spiking in several states. we'll break down for the headlines with an infectio

epstein. his lawyer's pushing back on claims that he's not cooperating. cnn's max foster is live at windsor castle with the latest on this. max, what's going on here? >> reporter: johnic row between these bastions of the establishment has been boiling up for some time now, and this really does seem to be coming to a head with the u.s. attorney's office for the southern district of new york leading on this epstein investigation. and they said they've consistently asked prince andrew to cooperate in that inquiry and he's consistently said no. so, they've asked the british government to intervene, according to our sources. then we have prince andrew's lawyers coming back pretty strongly yesterday, saying they've offered to cooperate three times this year, and this is really about publicity for the u.s. justice department. they went on to say, it's a matter of regret that the doj has seen fit to breach its own rules of confidentiality, not least as they are designed to encourage witness cooperation. far from our client acting above the law, as has been implied by the press briefings in the u.s., he's being treated by a lower standard than might reasonably be expected fo

epstein. why do you think attorney general barr wanted berman gone? >> what seems to me the president wanted him gone. there have been reports over time including the recent report from the johnbook and prior reports where the president seems to have been upset that geoffrey berman recused himself from the prosecution of michael cohen, which is parallel to his concern from jeff sessions recusing himself from the russia investigation. there have been repeated reports of the president of the united states was not happy with jeff berman, not happy with my former office. he's shown himself not to be happy with independent law enforcement or inspectors general at all. it's very hard in these circumstances to pinpoint the exact reason someone was let go. but the circumstances show that i don't think it was in good faith. in fact, the whole idea that geoff berman did not lose the confidence of the department, such that he was being asked to move to some other position, not being told to leave the department all together, doing a terrible job, we've lost confidence in you, but the idea that bill barr puts in his level to geoff berman. you've got a chair who has never done a criminal

epstein, michael avenatti and looking at the inaugural committee and looking at possible miss conduct by rudy giuliani and pretty brazen to not only touch and grab with two hands this third rail. why? >> john, to me this is a flagrant attempt to inject politics into prosecution. you said it well. third rail. the justice department is supposed to be the most independent of all the departments in the federal government, and within that had the southern district is famously independent. look, you just gave a great list of all the high-profile investigations of people close to donald trump that the sdny managed to get under way even in this highly politicized era, and if you look at the way donald trump and william barr did this announcing it on a friday night misleading the public saying jeffrey berman would step down trying to appoint jay clayton with zero prosecute yorl experience, putting someone never spending a day as a prosecutor in charge of the southern district, it's a joke. it would be like trying to appoint me surgeon general. i don't think there's any reason for it other than they are trying to politicize the southern district of new york. >> this president is disruptive from day

epstein. why do you think attorney general barr wanted berman gone? >> what seems to me the president wanted him gone. there have been reports over time including the recent report from the john bolton book and prior reports where the president seems to have been upset that geoffrey berman recused himself from the prosecution investigation of trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen, which is parallel to his concern about jeff sessions recusing himself from the russia investigation. there have been repeated reports of the president of the united states was not happy with geoff berman, not happy with my former office. he's shown himself not to be happy with independent law enforcement. he's not happy with inspectors general at all. it's very hard in these circumstances to pinpoint the exact reason someone was let go. but the circumstances show that i don't think it was in good faith. in fact, the whole idea that geoff berman did not lose the confidence of the department, such that he was being asked to move to some other position, not being told, you know, to leave the department all together, doing a terrible job, we've lost confidence in you, but the idea that bill barr
